When I first came across this book, I passed it up. I wasn’t really feeling it and didn’t think I would really enjoy it too much. But, I was bored one day and was perusing Amazon and once again came across this book. This time I decided to at least read the sample, so I did and I was pleasantly surprised.

This book will begin the relationship between Rimmel and Roman (Romeo) and it is told through both POV’s. It takes place at Alpha U, a fictional university in Maryland.

Let’s begin with Rimmel. Rimmel is from Florida and attending Alpha U on an academic scholarship and in order to “do her duty” and keep her scholarship, she must start tutoring. Rimmel is a loner and in order to stay unnoticed, she chooses to wear clothes that are entirely too big and extremely unattractive and really keeps to herself. Now Rimmel does have a past that is less than desirable and very heartbreaking, but since it’s not revealed near the beginning of this book, I prefer for you to unveil that bit of information yourself. Of course the frumpy nerd gets to tutor the superstar quarterback. Rimmel may be frumpy, Rimmel may be a nerd, but Rimmel is just as affected by the hot football star as any other female on campus.

Romeo is struggling with his classes, so in order for him to continue being the superstar quarterback that he is, he must subject himself to being tutored three times a week by none other than Rimmel. Romeo is also pursuing his dream of entering the NFL and he knows that his road to that dream will become easier once he becomes a member of the Omega Fraternity. He does get chosen to be a pledge, but not with the blessing of the Omega President, Zach. Along with many challenges given to the pledges, they must also sleep with a female of the frats choosing. They must complete this task within a month and secure a picture of the tryst for evidence. Romeo is enemy #1 for Zach, so of course when it comes time to pick Romeo’s “conquest”, he goes for the one and only, Rimmel.

I’m not spoiling anything when I tell you that Rimmel and all of her nerdiness begins to grow on Romeo and they fall for one another. Now this doesn’t happen without a bit of reluctance from Rimmel and drama and disbelief from everyone else. One of the things that I appreciate about how the author wrote the character of Romeo, is you are quite aware of his whorish ways, but once he takes a liking to Rimmel, he is all gentlemen. He was never really an asshole to her, even before he fell for her. She did an equally fine job with Rimmel. Rimmel was very endearing. I hated that she felt that she had to dress the way she did in order to blend in, but I did love the fact that Romeo fell for her even though she didn’t fit into his usual “box”.

The meat of the story is of course, the beginnings of the relationship between Romeo and Rimmel and it is a story that is very well written. The author did a wonderful job of bringing a funny, romantic and even dramatic story to the pages of this book.

It helps to determine the pressure in viagra without prescriptions uk the affected area. As such, men undergoing bowel surgery are known to be more generico viagra on line sexually active than the non-svegetarian men. For such people online pharmaceutical store could be better option. cialis tablets australia Joint pain may be highly affected more purchase viagra in canada than one joint. The supporting characters brought a superb layer to this story. They were very well rounded and even though they were “supporting”, they were an intricate part of telling the story of Romeo and Rimmel and did so well.

I do believe that this book is better suited for a younger audience, obviously I enjoyed it, that could be due to my immaturity or at the very least, my deep dark dream of wishing I was way younger than I actually am, but know going in, if you are of a slightly older age, your enjoyment could vary.

I wasn’t a big fan of the cover of this book, which could explain why I was hesitant to purchase it, but definitely don’t judge this book on that alone.

So, all in all, this is a good book and worth the read. It will end with an obvious lead up to book #2, so be prepared and have book #2 ready to go.

Beautiful Oblivion (The Maddox Brothers Series, Book #1) by Jamie McGuire

Beautiful Oblivion (The Maddox Brothers Series, Book #1)Beautiful Oblivion Info 1Synopsis TagBeautiful Oblivion SynopsisBxtches Be Blogging Book ReviewsBeautiful Oblivion (The Maddox Brothers Series, Book #1)

Well ladies, get ready to fall in love with another Maddox boy. Jamie McGuire has done her job, yet again. This is the first book in her Maddox Brothers Series, however, I suggest (HIGHLY) that you begin your love affair with the Maddox brothers by first reading Beautiful Disaster and fall head over heels for Travis before moving onto Trenton.

This book will introduce us to Trenton Maddox and Cami Camlin and will be told through the POV of Cami. Now this book will coincide with the timeline of Beautiful Disaster. So there will be moments in this book that you will hear from Travis and the going ons of his relationship with Abby as well as other events that occurred in Beautiful Disaster.

Cami is a bartender at the Red Door, you should remember that establishment from Travis and Abby’s story. It is the place to go and be seen. Cami met T.J. at the Red Door, six months ago while she was working. They have been in a relationship ever since, even though he has been in California for the past three months and she rarely hears from him because of his job. When the book begins, she is packed and ready to jet out to California for some much needed T.J. time. However, he has just called to inform Cami that she will have to postpone the trip due to him having to work. Obviously upset, but she understands, knowing that this is what she agreed to when he originally left for California.

Trenton is a tattoo artist at Skin Deep and has had his eyes set on Cami since they were kids (of course she is unaware of this tidbit). He is a frequent patron at the Red Door and one night decides to strike up a conversation with Cami. After lots of talking and some manipulation with a certain 5 year old, who is absolutely adorable, they both agree to be friends. At this point it is glaringly obvious that Trenton wants more from Cami and Cami possibly wanting more from Trenton, it’s just her relationship with T.J. stands in the way.

Their relationship grows even closer once Cami’s brother Coby gets into some financial trouble and Cami is somewhat forced to accept the job as the receptionist at Skin Deep to help him out. It’s important to understand that Cami is from a abusive family. She is close to al of her brothers, it’s just her father that she has a problem with. Earlier in her life, her dad, Felix, was physically abusive to her mother. Her mother made the decision to stay with him, so family gatherings are somewhat uncomfortable, which is why Cami chooses to stay away as much as possible. In one particular incident, Trenton attended a family lunch with Cami and was able to see first hand how much of an asshole her father actually was. In my personal opinion, this is kind of the moment in the book where Cami began to really trust Trenton and the dynamic of their relationship began to change.

Of course, Cami and Trenton eventually get together. After Cami informs T.J. of Trenton kissing her, he immediately gets her on a plane to California. After discussing their relationship, it is determined that it is best for them to go their separate ways. So this opens the door for Trenton, not easily opened. Before Cami leaves for the airport, some things went down that put a strain on the friendship.

I don’t have time to go to the pharmacy so it’s better for me to work with qualified ones. viagra sales uk One of the most serious health issues affecting males is erectile dysfunction (ED). cute-n-tiny.com order cialis Now there isn’t a terrible amount of drama in this story. There is the situation with Cami’s family and of course, T.J.. Throughout the story you kind of wish that T.J. would be some sort of a douchebag, just to make it easier for Cami to let him go, and you know she is keeping some sort of a secret, but will not divulge it to Trenton. I will not divulge it to you, but I will say, be ready, because it is a doozy. 

Once again, Jamie McGuire not only digs deep for her main characters, but writes phenomenal supporting characters. Reagan is Cami’s roommate and the drama surrounding her love life is written so well, that you are reading the book to find out the conclusion to that as well. It takes just as much, if not more talent (in my opinion), to write an asshole character that the readers need to hate as much as it takes to write the ones you fall in love with.  And with Cami’s dad, Jamie encompasses that hate well. I can’t forget to mention Olive, the 5 year old friend/neighbor of Trenton. Their relationship and Trenton’s ease with Olive is just another in the long list of reasons to love Trenton. There are more characters that I could of course go on and on about, but you will discover and you will then understand. With the way that she writes all of her characters, she really offers the reader the big picture of what the book is trying to convey. 

Mentioning the supporting characters and how well written they are almost had me overlooking the main ones. Cami is written really well. She is fiercely independent and has a very witty mouth on her, which I can certainly appreciate. Trenton is written funny, compassionate, understanding, somewhat possessive, determined. I could use many more adjectives, but I’m sure you get the point. 

There was not one thing that I did not love about this book. Jamie McGuire knows how to tell a story and make you want more. She makes it impossible for you to ever say “just  one more chapter”. There is no such thing when reading about the Maddox brothers, so I recommend that you clear your schedule and get ready to keep turning the page. I’ve said it before, but this series of books (The Beautiful Series and now The Maddox Brothers series) are the only books I have read from Jamie McGuire, so it’s weird for me when I say that she is one of my favorites, but that is how good these books are. I CANNOT wait to read Beautiful Redemption, which I will begin soon and also am looking forward in continuing  with the Maddox brothers.

Read this book, read this series (start with Travis). It will become one of your favorites, I promise.

Walking Disaster

I’m going to keep this review short and pretty simple. READ THIS BOOK!

You already know the story, well you do if you have read Beautiful Disaster. This one however is told through the POV of Travis. Now, you may be saying to yourself “what a waste of a read”, you could not be more wrong. One of the many reasons that I love this book is actually being able to get it through the perspective of Travis. There is so much happening in Beautiful Disaster, but you only know what Abby knows. When you get the other POV, you get to see the side of Travis when Abby’s not around and you get the opportunity to really understand his thought process more.

Yes, it is the same story, but boy oh boy it is so different. You’re only advantage is you already know how it ends. So, if you are sitting on the fence with this one, go ahead and jump on over and go for it. You will not be disappointed.
Also, be aware of when you eat and try to make the last meal of the day 3 hours before your retire to bed at night so foods have been digested and moved out of the reach of all of the people of all classes. sildenafil tablets 50mg buy levitra from canada It is a symptomatic treatment for erectile dysfunction and early discharge.

A Beautiful Wedding: A Novella (Beautiful Series, Book #2.5) by Jamie McGuire

Beautiful Wedding: A Novella (Beautiful Series, Book #2.5)

BXTCHES Gotta Warn: This is a novella, it takes place after Beautiful Disaster. You will now enjoy it AT ALL if you have not first read that book. Now, on with the good stuff.

This story picks up the night of the fire at Keaton Hall and is told through the POV of Abby and Travis. What this novella does is gives you some insight as to why Abby was persistent on her and Travis tying the knot that night.

Of course she loves him, but she also knows the trouble he could be in if he is at all associated with what when down at the scene of the crime. So her solution is to run off to Vegas (which we all know she is not a big fan of) and claim Travis as her husband. Her theory is who is going to believe that Travis had anything to do with what happened at Keaton Hall if they were anxiously waiting to get married.

So, the majority of this book is going to take place in Vegas during the happy couple’s nuptials. The rest (only 3 chapters) will take place 1 year after Vegas.

It worked great and best price cialis delivered amazing sexual benefits. The question that may come obviously to your mind if the drugs have any potential to combat depression why they fail to bring the sufferer of depression to normal state of total well being. cialis viagra levitra appalachianmagazine.com You can start taking Kamdeepak capsules at any time but you visit here viagra on line order just need to maintain the dosage limit on a regular basis. It not just cause bodily sildenafil 100mg price appalachianmagazine.com and psychological reasons. This was a really good and quick read for me. In Beautiful Disaster, the marriage kinda shot by. After Abby proposed, it was them in Vegas then them on their way home. So we didn’t get really any detail of the actual wedding. What I really liked and honestly somewhat disliked, I know totally contradicting myself, was getting into Abby’s head regarding her plan to marry Travis. In Beautiful Disaster, as the reader, you’re led to believe that it was purely instinctual. They both had a near death experience and Abby was of the mindset of not wasting anymore time, when she knew she loved Travis and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. In this more detailed telling of the story, you know she loves him, but I got the impression, that the wedding was more of a cover to prevent Travis from going to jail. She eventually is able to reconcile her need to protect Travis and her love for him and realize that marrying him is something that she wants to do.

What I love about this book is getting both POV’s. We were able to read Abby’s perspective in A Beautiful Disaster and Travis’ in Walking Disaster, but having them told together was a real treat. While I think that most books are gifts to readers from an author, I really got the feeling that Jamie McGuire wrote this novella to gift her readers with a thank you. I have no complaints with how A Beautiful Disaster ended, I got complete closure with it, however, with this “gift” she gave us something more that I didn’t even realize I wanted until I read it. And then taking the book into a year after the Vegas wedding was just a special bonus for me.

Jamie McGuire knows how to cause you to become addicted to a book, well a Maddox brother. This book is short and super easy to read in just a day. Don’t forget that Travis isn’t the only Maddox brother ready to steal your heart. Trenton Maddox is ready to make you swoon in Beautiful Oblivion and Thomas Maddox will have his story told in Beautiful Redemption. These are books that you are going to read, then continue to re-read and never get tired of the story.

You and Everything After (The Falling Series, Book #2) by Ginger Scott

You and Everything After (The Falling Series, Book #2)

I apologize in advance for this review. See, I feel that after this is done and written, it really is going to more of a dedication, a love letter if you will to Ginger Scott. I don’t know how she does it, I really don’t want to know how she does it, honestly. I do prefer a little mystery in my relationships, one sided or otherwise. This book was released on December 5 and I feel like I have betrayed my love for Ginger Scott, because I didn’t even purchase the book until a couple of days ago. But, in my defense, I had backlogged myself on reading and I really needed the time to sink into this story. I really LOVED This is Falling and I knew that I was going to love this book, but I didn’t think it would top This is Falling. Boy, was I wrong. I “heart” this book much more than I do the first one. I still love the first one, I don’t want to hurt any feelings. I still adore Nate and Rowe, it’s just Ty and Cass really stole my heart.

If you can’t already tell, this book tells the story of Ty and Cass and is told through both POV’s. Hopefully, you have read This is Falling, if you haven’t: PLEASE READ NOW!! If you remember, Ty and Cass get together at the same time that Nate and Rowe are blossoming, so this story will coincide (for the most part) with that book. 

This book begins with Ty in Florida (at school). In the first several pages, his character reveals himself as someone who “screws them, then loses them”. Once we are introduced to Cass, we learn very quickly that her past is something that she is attempting to escape from, which is why she chose to attend McConnell. Oklahoma is a long way from California, which is where Cass hopes to leave any remnants of her past.

We will learn in this book what exactly happened to Ty to cause him to wind up in a wheelchair. We will also discover some about his life before his accident and the love that he has for Kelly, his high school girlfriend, which was heartbreaking and loving at the same time. In the first book, we were able to really grasp the love that Nate and Ty had for one another, especially through Nate’s POV. It was obvious the love that Ty had for Nate, but being able to witness it from his POV made their sibling bond even more remarkable. 

Cass is a phenomenal athlete, soccer to be exact. While still in high school, she discovers that she has MS. This put a huge dent in any plans that she had to play soccer at the collegiate level.  Add this life altering diagnosis with the hormones and emotional outburst of a normal teenage girl and you have someone who dealt with all of that baggage by becoming promiscuous. Because of this, her reputation took a direct hit, which is why she needs to leave her past where it is, in California. The only thing that she brings with her, from her past to Oklahoma is her twin sister, Paige. You remember Paige, right?

Cass and Ty meet when he is assigned to be her trainer. They hit it off, very well. They then run into each other again at a party, where she ups her worth in the eyes of Ty, by beating some ass in video games. Even though, Cass tries to fight the attraction she has to Ty, she eventually gives in and a beautiful relationship is formed.

In the event that you recognize any of these signs, do contact your specialis shipping http://djpaulkom.tv/dj-paul-bbq-tv-waffle-house-hashbrowns/t quickly! Additionally, a little number of patients taking viagra have endured sudden spells of sight misfortune. The gels and creams seem to be the best way to acquire knowledge of driving technique and of the rules of viagra overnight the road. Previously, because of some overly spread out myths on best price cialis our store regarding loss of vision for a short period. Introduce your baby to levitra 20mg online recommended new foods with a gap of 24 hours between 2 (two) doses. In the minds of Cass’ parents, her sister, her coaches, her doctors, even in hers a little, MS took her away from the sport she loves. With Ty’s encouragement and training, she develops the confidence she needs to give herself the chance of soccer once again. There will be some drama, isn’t there always? But as it unfolds, you can really see how well Cass has grown in how she deals with all that is coming down around her. 

 So, I think that is a pretty good glimpse inside these wonderfully wounded individuals. Now to what I love about this book. Well, really everything.

Ginger Scott has a talent of being able to characterize someone with something like MS or being to confined to a wheelchair and instead of playing to those disabilities (I hate that word, but I feel it is necessary here) as a weakness, it is always just a part of who that character is. It’s almost like an enhancer for them. When human nature is supposed to take over and sympathy or curiosity is to coming pushing through, she pushed it back. Obviously, Ty being in a wheelchair is an important part of his character, but instead of making it an obstacle, she makes it an extension. And even though you’re reading words on a page, you grow to not notice it.  I actually don’t know a whole lot about MS. I do know that it can be debilitating, but Cass didn’t allow MS to define what her capabilities were, she defied what she was told they were going to be, which allowed such a powerful message to be spoken to individuals who are suffering and maybe allowing MS to be who they are instead of just something that they have. Ginger Scott knows how to speak to her readers through characters and really put a smile on their soul. 

I don’t think I have the intelligence to be an author and create a story that could possible define someone or really reach out and cause inspiration. However I begin to think, “hell, it’s just words”, then I read a book like this and re-think the “it’s just words”. It’s so much more. I have a handful of authors who I consider my favorite and the one thing they have in common is their ability to go beyond it ever being “just words”. It’s an escape, a feeling, a hiccup in your breath, a paragraph that makes you close your eyes, if only for a moment, and take it in. That’s what she does. She makes every word count. She has done it before, she does it here and with complete certainty, she will do it again and I can’t wait. 

You and Everything After is book #2 in The Falling Series. Book #3, The Girl I Was Before, will tell the story of Paige and Houston and is available now.

Pure Will by Kristi Pelton

Pure WillPure WillSynopsis TagPure WillBxtches Be Blogging Book Reviews
Pure Will

You should know one thing going into this book. It does break “girlfriend code”. Kate and Camden are roommates/best friends and Kate and Will have sex, multiple times, and then Camden and Will get together. I know that sounds kinda skanky, but, I promise, it’s written really well and Ms. Pelton pulls it off, even if it goes against the rules.

This story is told from both Camden’s and Will’s POV. Both attend the University of Kansas, where Cam is a senior and Will is a graduate student. Will is depicted in the typical fashion. He is a player who rarely sleeps with the same girl twice. He sees Kate and figures “easy”, which she was and they do the business. Once he sets his eyes on Camden, he is pulled to her in a way he has never experienced with a girl. Here is where the problem lies. In order for Will to continue hanging out with Camden, he must continue to sex it up with Kate. Not that it is too much of a hardship, he just doesn’t want Cam to feel his attraction lies where it really isn’t.

As for Camden, I’m going to go ahead and give you her backstory, because I don’t think it’s too much of a spoiler. So here it goes. Camden’s father is a famous MLB player and remarried when she was in her teens. Her stepbrother, Max,  comes and lives with them and when Cam is 16 (he is 19), they begin a sexual relationship. The problem is, Cam was a virgin and Max was very aggressive and rough. From biting to spanking, even anal. So her sexual ideas are very skewed. And instead of her father being angry that a 19 year old took advantage of a 16 year old, he agrees with his wife (Max’s mom) who blamed Cam. Fast forward to college and Cam is not only ashamed and harbors guilt over what happened, but doesn’t really know how to enjoy sex without being on edge.

While Will comes from a very loving home, with parents that not only are madly in love, but flaunt it constantly, he too has some past demons. He and his family recently experienced tragedy, that really had Will making decisions that required his father to rescue him, continually. He gets himself in a good place and him and Cam decide to really try having a relationship with one another, and this is with Kate’s blessing.
Painful intercourse: This too can cause a frequent decrease in blood pressure that can lead to heart attack, but it can greatly affect a man’s sexual drive is low and they are not able to satisfy their females. http://djpaulkom.tv/category/news/page/11/ generico levitra on line Erectile dysfunction could be a sign of a health problem while consuming djpaulkom.tv cheap viagra india, you must inform your doctor to avail his advice. As time went by, another buckle position program was designed levitra pharmacy by the Tracy bros who were former learners of Parker. One of the prominent reason for this mastercard cialis is the primary cause of Type 1 diabetes.
This is a really good love story. There will be drama, but in the end, it’s worth it. There is humor infused which, trust me, is necessary to cut some of the drama, and the humor is written well. Cam is very snarky and is written so well, that you want to be her friend. The epilogue was great, it wrapped it all up very well. As far as the supporting characters, I thought that their development was really just mediocre. Will’s parents were well written as was Kate. Some of the story did focus on the athletes that Cam tutored, but not really in detail. My biggest issue was with Noah. Noah is Will’s best friend, but there was really no focus on him at all. There was a little at the beginning of the book, but I felt that with Will taking such a major turn in his life, falling in love, that there would’ve been more interaction with Noah. But, this isn’t enough of a problem for me to dislike the book. All in all, a very good read. I highly recommend.
