Review: You Will Be Mine

You Will Be Mine by Natasha Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have never ever read something as thrilling and emotional as this book! Lylah and her brother Riley have gone a long way since the death of their parents on Valentine's Day. So when all the romance and emotions of February appear, Lylah (at school without her brother) decides to let loose from the stress of life and school with her friends. Plus, Lylah hopes that hitting the dance floor will bring Chace (her best friend who she also has a crush on) closer. Before they leave for the party, the girls are touching up their make up and the guys are slipping on their jackets when an anonymous note addressed to Sonny (a roommate) appears. They all laugh it off, but when he never returns home, another note arrives that says Your turn.

"Order something you don't have to cook, and I'll try to eat. I want you to have more protection, Lylah. I want you to have the entire f***ing army surrounding you. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you. I can't lose anyone else."

Quickly in the novel the tensions begin to become high and it triggers Lylah's emotions from the death of her parents. I don't want to spoil this book because there are SO many plot twists, but the notes appear more frequently the closer to Valentine's Day it is. However, with these high emotions, it finally brings Lylah and Chace together! :)

"Chace takes my cheeks in his hands, his touch feather light. I open my mouth to tell him I love him. But I'm not sure if the words come out. All I can gear is my pulse working overtime, thrumming in my ears..."

This book has so many emotions and feels and it is truly a masterpiece. The ending is so unexpected so I don't want to spoil ANY of this amazing read. There were really tender moments and really high anxiety moments, but this book is truly a must read! Thank you!!!!

Review: Flirting with Forever

Flirting with Forever by Kendall Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“How did I miss this entire chapter of my life, waiting so patiently for me to turn the page?”
This book is a sweet best friends-to-lovers romance. Jack, Cam, and Natalie became the three musketeers in high school, and now at 29, they still depend on each other to laugh, have fun, and to be there for the ups and downs. Jack as a bartender, Cam as a physician, and Natalie as an office worker are an iconic trio who are just friends (for since the first time Cam and Jack met Natalie, they vowed to only stay friends with her, and never more).

"How much do you want to bet I can make it a whole month without hooking up with anyone?"

This is the bet Cam and Jack make after Jack gets dumped by his girlfriend of a year. Once this bet is set, however, Cam begins to show feelings for Natalie, and Natalie doing the same. At this point in the story, every encounter between Natalie and Cam is becoming what they both yearn for, a relationship. After Natalie's "boyfriend" breaks up with her and too many drinks, Cam and her cross the friend zone, and once they do, there is no turning back. Cam nor Natalie still don't want to admit their feelings for each other, but after Jack finds them sleeping together, they admit everything.

"To answer his question, I kiss him hard on the mouth with enough momentum to send us both tumbling backward onto the plush bed."

This book has heart, sass, and scorching intense moments that are jaw-dropping. I truly enjoyed this read and the development of Jack, Cam, and Natalie, for they change but remain the same throughout. Anyone looking for a short read is in for a thrill with this one!! :)

Review: Perfect You

Perfect You by Elizabeth Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Vitamins had ruined my life"
Kate Brown's life went downhill faster than she could stop it. She has to work with her dad selling vitamins at the mall and her best friend acts like she is invisible; the worst combination for a sophomore in high school. Unattainable and gorgeous Will is also in the picture, who Kate "hates" for some unbeknownst reason that no one can figure out. Kate does not realize it, but her selling vitamins actually help her, for she meets the true Will, the one outside of school, the one who likes to have fun, who has problems just like everyone else but makes light of it. Kate meets the true Will.
"Will BLUSHED. I didn't know he could do that. I know I should say he suddenly seemed vulnerable and I felt a connection to his soul or whatever, but the truth is I just wanted to tackle him and then make out for the next three thousand years"
Kate continues to put up this facade that she hates Will, and it truly breaks my heart to see how much he tries to go out with her. Kate and Will are such different people but they seem to bring out the best in each other, and they are there for each other when things aren't going right. In the midst of making out by the trashcans in the mall for nights on end, Kate finally realizes that she has feelings for him, and it is not just to make out, it is deeper than that.
"It's just... today has really sucked, and when you're around stuff doesn't seem so crappy"
This book is pretty good, it has elements that are really heartwarming and make you feel happy for these characters (You can tell its a good book when you sympathize with the characters). I enjoyed Will and Kate's adventure and I loved how their problems were true to life. This short read is one to remember! :)
"But things change. Stuff happens. And you know what? Life goes on"
P.S. If you like this book, I suggest to listen to Life Changes by my favorite and love of my life Thomas Rhett!!
