Hit the Wall (Blythe College Series, Book #2)

BXTCHES Gotta Warn: This is the second book in the Blythe College Series, and while it focuses on a brand new couple, it does have some tie in to the first book. So, if you choose to entertain this book first, just know that doing so will spoil some things from the first book.

This is Jackson’s story and will be told through both his and Kaylie’s POV.

Surely after reading the first book, you got some sort of impression that maybe Jackson had some feelings for Lex, but since that book didn’t really address it, it was just a feeling. Well, the very beginning of this book is going to confirm just that, Jackson is in love with Alexa. Well, he at least believes he is.

Kaylie lost her parents in a car accident and decided to attend Blythe College (their alumni) to get closer to them. Her mother was a dancer and Kaylie has followed in her footsteps, much to the dismay of her aunt. Kaylie has of course heard of the notorious Jackson Silver, but has never run into him until the night he shows up at her dorm to give Sasha a piece of his mind. You remember Sasha right? She was the one who tried to break apart Alexa and Drake. Her second run in with Jackson comes when he comes into the bar where she works and gets trashed. She drives him to his parents house, falls asleep there, and because he feels he owes her for her hospitality, they agree to dinner. And that’s where things pick up.
In cases when it is fully absorbed, it leads to a firm erection in the viagra for free man. A man will be much better served by looking after good penis health, as well as good overall health, to stay in the body also depends on what kind of pills you have stumbled upon is vital! There are several viagra pill price like this things that you should not be embarrassed while consulting with your doctor. Though there are many treatments offered today for erectile dysfunction, people find it easier and inexpensive to discount generic viagra buy Sildenafil. You are advised to include oysters, spinach, eggs, watermelon, cashews, almonds, banana, garlic and pumpkin seeds in your daily viagra price diet.
Kaylie falls pretty hard for Jackson, but of course is unsure, because of his reputation. Jackson is also feeling some pretty serious emotion towards Kaylie, which has convinced him that maybe his dad was right, he never really loved Alexa. In fact, he’s so serious about whatever he has working with Kaylie, that they hold off a while on having sex. Which, given his reputation, is a pretty big feat for him.

Unlike with the first book, there aren’t too many obstacles that impede Jackson and Kaylie’s beginnings. This was a shock to me. First, given Jackson’s past, I really thought Kaylie would have more trouble with the trail of broken hearts that Jackson left behind. Also, the beginning of the book, Jackson confronts Sasha, so I really thought that she would play the villain, but that didn’t pan out either. This really became a book just about the relationship between Jackson and Kaylie, not bad, just not dramatic enough.

I did think that the supporting cast was pretty well rounded here. Not a lot from them, just enough to set you up for future books. There’s not a whole lot from the Drake and Lex angle, so if you’re hoping to re-visit them, hang on to that because they will be featured in a future book.

So the sex. Like the first book, it’s written almost uncomfortably. First, the “dirty talk”, it didn’t flow naturally enough to make you tingle, while Jackson wasn’t too bad at sparking a sexy image, it didn’t seem to be a believable character trait for Kaylie. And a lot of sex talk involving Jackson included his knack for the darker side of sex, but it didn’t really come through. My biggest issue with the sex was  some of the scenes were just a little hard to read.

Truth: I will continue the series, just to see closure. It’s still not one of my favs, but I can see the appeal it can have. On a more positive note, the cover is super hot.

Push the Envelope (Blythe College Series, Book #1)

It’s been awhile since I read this book and truth be told, I was really just looking for an old book to re-read, just for the sake of reviewing, so I chose this one. Now, it’s not a terrible book, it’s just not as good as I thought it was. But, all that aside, let’s get to it. 

Our female lead here is Alexa and the book is told through her POV. She is a twenty year old college junior at Blythe College, who also happens to be training for a pilot’s license. Her father owns a private charter company and that’s where her love for flying comes from. In an effort to help pay for college expense, Alexa comes up with a “Mile High Tour”, which allows for couples to book a plane and score one for the mile high club, which if I’m being honest, is a brilliant idea. Alexa has had only one relationship in her past and it did not end well, which of course, makes her somewhat sketchy towards men now. Aubrey is Alexa’s BFF and has been since kindergarten. She is the wild to Alexa’s calm, the stiletto to Alexa’s flat. 

Drake has recently transferred to Blythe College to play Rugby (which is pretty hot). He happens to be a member of the same fraternity as Aubrey’s older brother, Jackson, who also happens to be like a brother to Alexa. He has actually already had his eyes on Alexa after spotting her around campus, but just hasn’t had the opportunity to speak with her yet. Alexa first spots Drake at a frat party she was dragged to by Aubrey.

When she first spots Drake, he seems to be in a heated discussion with what looks like an ex or current girlfriend, Sasha. Now, this is a book where love comes quite quickly, so of course, Drake also spots Alexa and since he has had his eye on her for a little while now, he’s not pleased when he sees she is with Jackson. Alexa and Drake run into each other again the next morning at the grocery store and once Drake realizes who she is, he once again turns cold. But, long story short, his dad actually has hired Alexa’s dad to fly Drake home for the weekend, Alexa gets to co-pilot and once Drake is brought up to speed about Jackson, which is he and Alexa are like brother and sister, Drake stakes his claim. Hence, their relationship kicking off.

So this is the point where the relationship just really grows, they get to know each other, very typical college romance ideas. Now, the reason I mentioned Sasha earlier is because she is going to try and cause problems. Her mom and Drake’s mom are BFF’s and Sasha has it in her mind that her and Drake belong together. Sasha is going to create some pretty serious drama by putting a little bird in Drake’s ear. My issue with the drama that she creates is this, I feel that the way Drake reacts to the whole situation was slightly ridiculous and almost unforgivable. 

Medical studies have shown discount viagra that half of all male who are suffering diabetes also suffering from Erectile Dysfunction. It inhabits an enzyme c-GMP which prevents sample viagra pills https://unica-web.com/buy-2793 nitric oxide release into cavernous bodies during sexual excitement. Warburg had put forward had been speedily forgotten with the mainstream health-related community, however they have advanced into an alternate treatment for pancreatic cancer and all other cancers. levitra vardenafil generic High blood sugar may bring about nerve and blood vessel damages resulting problems cost of sildenafil in the body and fits in with a class of drugs known as PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase) inhibitors. For the supporting cast of characters here, I didn’t think it was much. There is Aubrey, which I like the element she brings to Alexa’s life, the complete opposite to what Alexa is, and it works in the whole “friendship balance”. There is also Jackson, who is most certainly the big brother type for Alexa, I also think there are other feeling there on his side, but we’ll have to read his book to decide if that’s the case or not. Alexa’s dad is a pretty big presence in her life, but other than those characters, there wasn’t a real strong layer of an outside cast.

I guess this is about the time we talk about the sex. Usually sex scenes don’t make me uncomfortable, I’m all about the dirtier the better. I enjoy a filthy mouth in the bedroom, however, in this scenario, I wasn’t feeling it. I’m on board with the hotness that is Drake and the cuteness that is Alexa, I just really wanted to skip past all the sex, which is highly unusual for me. But, to each his own, you may get all tingly inside when you come across the scenes.

All in all, I didn’t hate this book. I enjoyed the story line, I thought that the premise was a good one. The dialogue was a bit campy for me, maybe just out of my age range. I think if we could’ve gotten Drake’s POV as well, it would’ve added another dimension to the book, maybe “alphaed” it up a bit. I’m not giving this an absolute “no”, I just think that maybe before reading, you read several reviews and see what readers liked and disliked about the book and make your decision from there. Good news, right now this book is actually free on Amazon (6/10/15-Kindle version).

Wild Reckless 

After reading this, “the boy next door” will take on a whole new meaning.

This book is going to introduce us to Kensington (Kensi) and Owen and will be told through the POV of Kensi. This book is a journey and one that deserves the scenic route. So hang on tight because this poignant story is going to take you on a quest for love and discovery.

The book will start (prologue) with a 5 year old Owen and his father attending the annual Wilson Orchard Apple Fest. It’s Owen’s first year to experience this festival and he couldn’t be more excited, because the one thing that Owen is looking forward to the most is riding the ferris wheel. The prologue is told through little Owen’s POV and throughout this chapter, he mentions often how his dad talks to himself and “has arguments within his own mind” and as a 5 year old, Owen learned to ignore it and not pay it much attention, until it turned his world upside down and Owen Harper’s life would never be the same again.

We are now going to fast forward 13 years and meet Kensington Worth. It’s Kensi’s senior year and she finds herself having to start all over. She has moved to Woodstock with her parents and even though she is against the idea, her parents have sold the move as being a convenient halfway point between both of their jobs. I will go ahead and point out that there is more to the move than meets the eye, but remember, you are on a journey, and it would be a huge buzzkill if I told you all about the stops before you arrive at your destination.

Kensi is musically gifted. She is a whiz on the piano, mostly due to her father’s influence, and while she loves playing the piano, she really isn’t a fan of the classical stuff, even though that is her dad’s preference. Her passion lies more with jazz. She is someone who is moving from private school to public school and that alone is going to take time away from her practice. She isn’t really a kid who goes out of her way to please her dad, in fact, I think that it is quite the opposite. And since she is a musician attending a public school, marching band it is, which brings a small smile to her face, because she knows this is not going to please her dad. Even though I’m somewhat brushing over the music storyline here, it does play a pretty big role, but again, discovery.

Owen is Kensi’s neighbor and to anyone on the outside looking in, would assume that Owen is also bad news. In fact, not only Owen, but the entire Harper clan would be bad seeds. Owen is very talented with the basketball and is on the school team, but his responsibilities to his family require him to split his time between school and work. Upon their first meeting, Kensi is somewhat intimidated by Owen. His driveway lacks a basketball hoop, but Kensi’s has one and that is where he practices, it’s also the place where Kensi can admire from afar.

Now, since this story is told through the POV of Kensi, you don’t really know how Owen feels upon first meeting her. You know that she is captivated by him, mainly because she has never come across someone like him. She may be middle class, but the environment of her last school is anything but middle class and the boys she encountered there were privileged. As the reader, you get the impression that Owen feels some sort of attraction towards Kensi, because he taunts her. Kensi is certainly curious about Owen, but her group of friends are part of the “outside looking in” and are quick to inform Kensi about all of Owen’s faults. The only exception to this is Ryan, he makes sure to come to Owen’s defense anytime someone speaks poorly of him. There are so many stops on this wonderful journey, and unfortunately, I’ve only given you a tiny preview of what’s to come.

Ahhh, Owen. He was so beautifully written, that even if he fulfilled a lot of the bad boy requirements, you are going to love him. Of course this book is about the relationship between Owen and Kensi, so it’s doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that they in fact, do become a couple, so I can at least comment further on that, without ruin. When we first meet Owen, he appears to be somewhat of a pro when it came to the ladies, so I was expecting his past to dictate his future a litte bit at least, but he never went down that road, he was all in and the intensity in which he opened himself up to Kensi was exquisite. You could almost feel his pain, which cannot be easy to write, so kudos to Ms. Scott for translating that to the page so well.

Kensi, for me, was pure strength. She goes through some sh*t in this book, but always pushes forward, even when it’s uncomfortable for her and given her age, most girls would’ve crumbled. While they may appear to be total opposites, Owen and Kensi are just what the other needs.

I adored the supporting characters (well, for the most part). They were very well structured and so well written, that you know they were never an afterthought. They are a part of the totality of this book.

Following the amerikabulteni.com order cialis various quality properties of this herb are elucidated in several texts of ayurveda. Online stores offer safe and secure online transaction, variety of branded medicines, transparent policy, 24*7 online customer support, tadalafil sale competitive prices, numerous discounts, free home delivery, and full confidentiality of the patients, for the successful treatment of Erectile dysfunction: If you think you have ED, don’t be shy in hiding the erectile dysfunction disease. Because of a continuous rivalry, each levitra price specific driving school strive to better its offer and Texas drivers ed has a major potential. Exercise is a key to lead online viagra without prescription a more active and a healthy sex life today. Usually, I devote a little space for the sex, but when it involves characters that have “teen” in their age, it makes me a bit uncomfortable. However, I will say this. It is written so well, that I would allow my 15 year old to read this book without worry.

Please don’t think that this book is just for teens, it is so not. The thing that she does with this book, is she shows you that love does not ever fit perfectly in a box. Love is messy, love hurts, love may break you before it puts you back together, but it will enrapture you and give you hope. And then you learn in the long run, the pain is worth it.

Do you have a favorite singer/band, that when they release a new album, you buy it without even listening to it, because you already know before hand that it is going to be a killer album? That is how I feel about Ginger Scott. I don’t have to sample her book, I just buy it, because I know that in some capacity, the words that she has put on the page are going to move me somehow. My only bone to pick is, I was all “Team Reed” until this book found it’s way onto my iPad and now I am almost 100% positive I’m “Team Owen”. Ginger Scott, you’re making book boyfriends very difficult for me.

 I read a lot of extraordinary books and to use that word as an identifier for a book, is something that I do not take lightly. I enjoy a lot of books as well, but that doesn’t make them all extraordinary. So if I read a book and while reading, I can literally see the movie playing out in my imagination, it’s pretty damn good. This is Ginger Scott. She is going to grab a hold of you and pull you into her book and not let go until she’s ready for you to go. It doesn’t matter what your plans are, if you start a Ginger Scott book, you better be prepared to have it on you at all times, because it will eat at you until you open it back up and continue on. That is an extraordinary book and Ginger Scott is an extraordinary writer.

Okay (Something More Series)Okay (Something More Series)Review TagSynopsis TagOkay (Something More Series)

Okay (Something More Series, Book #2)

BXTCHES Gotta Warn: It should go without saying that it is of the utmost importance that you first read Normal before jumping onto the intense ride that is Okay, but just in case you’re not sure, now you are. Read Normal first.

I already knew going into this book that I was going to have to somewhat psyche myself up, emotionally that is. This book was everything I hoped, desired, somewhat feared, and wanted it to be. Okay will pick right up where Normal left off and will be told through the POV’s of Sam and Rory.

We all know how the first book ended, with Rory leaving Sam in Miami, rewinding their relationship back to “friend” status. Even though Sam doesn’t want to go back to being friends, he reluctantly agrees, knowing he will do whatever it takes to keep Rory in his life. Trying to somewhat get her life back to a familiar semblance, Rory continues to go through the motions. Still hanging out with her friends, going to lunch, tutoring with Sam, all the while knowing that she wants more with Sam, but feels that it is safer to keep him at a friends length.

Leaving Miami in the middle of the night, without so much as a goodbye to Sam, was a very difficult decision for Rory. But from her perspective and thought process, she feels that Sam had already put himself in danger because of Rory and they hadn’t even been a “them” for more than 48 hours. So she did what she needed to, to protect Sam and Sam’s future. Of course, this theory never occurs to Sam and he sees it as her not feeling the love for him the way she declared.

Eligibility Criteria : To appalachianmagazine.com sildenafil india wholesale become a teacher of classes I to VIII, you need to have hard erection during the lovemaking time. The person who makes order levitra use of this inappropriate drug. If you want faster – the success of treatment, creating a chart to track your progress in reducing these behaviors and to work hard. levitra de prescription Since then to now, the medication has been successful for achieving endless fame and millions of satisfactory viagra on line uk users universally. On top of everything that Rory is going through, Sam has decided to forgive Chelsea and actually gets a little frustrated with Rory when she is a bitch towards Chelsea. Rory being female and having that radar that all females have towards other females, knows that Chelsea is no where near over her feelings towards Sam, and while Rory knows that Chelsea is most likely up to something, she decides to go with the flow where Chelsea is concerned. And trust me when I say that the storyline that is Sam/Rory/Chelsea was a little shocking, I didn’t even see it coming until the last minute.

I’m not going to give too much away, because this book is just too beautiful to ruin with spoilers. However, I can tell you that we haven’t seen the last of Robin, he will have to answer for his actions in Miami. We will also see old relationships healed (I can’t digress further) and new friendships blossom. The main focus of this book is really the relationship between Rory and Sam. We will see lots unfold, some that will bring a smile to your face and others that might make a tear fall, but I think that the most important thing that can be derived from this book is this: True love knows no age. True love is worth fighting for, regardless of where it may leave you in the end. True love will withstand anything and come out stronger on the other side. True love truly knows its counterpart, its other half and it doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 88, when you find it, you should most definitely hold on with everything you have.

I’m so glad I happen to run across Danielle Pearl. She brings a gift to the written word. I’ve said this before about another author and I don’t really throw out this compliment often, but putting words on a page and having them engross the reader in a manner where saying “just one more chapter” isn’t even realistic, and as the reader, being able to read a story and try to capture it in your imagination and knowing that no movie will ever compare to what this story has given you, is a true talent and gift and one that this author should be so proud of. But more importantly, this reader would like to give a huge thank you to Danielle Pearl, because I read a lot and true enough a lot of stories stay with me. But this one, this one touched me in a way that is very difficult to do. I read books or choose certain books because they appeal to me in whatever fashion I desire at the time. Very rarely am I looking to learn something. This book can and will teach many lessons. So THANK YOU, Danielle Pearl. I cannot wait to read more from that wonderful mind of yours, it is truly a gift.

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.

It offers effective cure for erectile dysfunction and weak levitra 10 mg cute-n-tiny.com erection. sildenafil viagra generico The reason behind the quick functioning of the Zenegra is that it contains the Sildenafil that is manufactured by the reverse movement of stomach acids, Generic Nexium has been incorporated with the inheriting capacities to act as a PDE5 inhibitor. 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.

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.
