February Book Reviews

February was a great month for books!  I have already exceeded my goal for the year.  I love that I have found something that I enjoy so much.  As always please send your recommendations my way. 

Collide by Gail McHugh

This was my favorite book I’ve read this year!  I found it on GoodReads and am so glad I took a chance on this ebook.  I loved that this book took place in NYC with the young, rich and fabulous.   The sequel comes out this summer called Pulse.  Let me just say Gavin Blake is the Christian Grey of 2013.  After reading the book, I emailed the author and she was so gracious to receive fan mail.  I highly recommend this book.  It is the perfect beach read.  A++

Gideon’s Rapture by Sylvian Reynard

This is the second book in the series.  Last month I read Gideon’s Inferno and enjoyed it enough to want to see where their story went.  I enjoyed this book much more than the first.   B+

Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren

What a bummer this book was!  I pre-ordered it after reading on Perez Hilton the rights had been optioned to make a film.  Out of all the books out there I truly don’t understand why Hollywood would want to make this one.    It was completely awful and while I should have known by the title I gave it a shot anyways.  F

Thoughtless by S.C Stephens

Another book I found though GoodReads recommendations and I am glad I took a chance on it.  This book made me happy, mad, sad and want to date Kellan Kyle in my next life.  At 520 pages, this book takes you on a roller coaster ride of a college relationship dissolving while a new one buds-at the exact same time.  This is the first book in the series of three.  A

Effortless by S. C. Stephens

This is the second installment of the Thoughtless series.  I enjoyed this book more than Thoughtless and I didn’t think that was possible.  Without giving too much away if you haven’t read Thoughtless yet, the journey for this couple continues.  Their relationship is tested while Kellan goes on tour.  There are two twists in this book that I didn’t see coming.  I also emailed this author to let her know how much I enjoyed her books and she was very appreciative.  A Reckless comes out on March 5^th and you better believe it is already pre-ordered! 

Fate Interrupted by Kaitlyn Cross

I bought this book on a whim.  After I finished Collide this book came up as a recommendation for $.99, I thought even if it isn’t that great it is only a buck.  Well it wasn’t’ that great.  It kind of left me feeling blah.  There was no real character development.  This is the first book in a two part series.  D

Rush by Maya Banks

This is another Fifty Shades of Grey type books and is the first of the series.  What I liked about this book is the first book follows one relationship of three successful hoteliers.  The next two books follow the other two guys.  I am sure the characters from book one will be involved throughout the other books a little bit.  B+
