Without You (Love Wanted In Texas 1) Kelly Elliott

I have been super excited for this series since she announced she was doing a series for the kids!! Will got his charm from a little of Gunner, Jeff, and Josh so he will have you swooning. Will and Alex have known each other since they were children since their parents are best friends so their love is strong. This group may be closer than Gunner and them in the Wanted series and that is saying something.
 
When they go off to different colleges they are put to the test and have a bit of a rough patch but true love always wins in the end, it might not be pretty but it is real! Without you is a beautiful story about love, friendship, and growing up. If you loved the Wanted series by Kelly this will be no different for you! I can't wait for Luke and Libby's story to come out early next year. I rate Without You with 3 out of 5 stars!
 
Happy Reading

Making Faces by Amy Harmon

"I think people are like that. When you really loot at them, you stop seeing a perfect nose or straight teeth. You stop seeing the acne scar or dimple in the chin. Those things start to blur, and suddenly you see them, the colors, the life inside the shell, and beauty takes on a whole new meaning."
 
 
Making faces is a wonderful book that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster that you don't want to ever get off of!! I rate it with 5 out of 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone. Making Faces is about learning to love yourself and teaches you that love sometimes comes from an unexpected place.
 
 
Ambrose it a huge star in his little town and Fern is just an average girl that has a crush on him. Ambrose is beautiful and very athletic and never really gives Fern the time of day until the day before he leaves for the army. Ambrose had talked his four best friends into going in the army, so the five boys fresh out of high school set out on an adventure together.
 
 
Five boys went out into world but only one made it back. Ambrose was hurt very badly on top of feeling the guilt over his friends deaths. He refuses to see anyone other than his father until he runs into Fern one night on her way home from work. Fern helps Ambrose see that it does not matter that he does not look the same because he is still beautiful to her. Ambrose and Fern both help each other through some very rough times and come out with a very strong love in the end.
 
 
Making Faces is not my typical type of book but I still loved it. I ugly cried through a couple chapters but it is so worth the time to sit down and read!!
 
Happy Reading

Nova and Quinton:No Regrets (Nova 4) by Jessica Sorensen

I love how Jessica gives us a REAL love story full of heart break and struggles not rainbows and unicorns!!
"Death. It's around more than people realize. Because no one wants to talk about it or hear about it. It's too sad. Too painful. Too hard. The list of reasons is endless."
 
At the end of Saving Quinton we were left wondering how Quinton was going to do in rehab. We get our questions answered in No Regrets! Quinton is worried about leaving rehab and his feelings towards Nova. Quinton is struggling with moving on from his past and feels like he is betraying Lexi by moving on in his life. At first he will not see Nova and they only talk on the phone.
 
Nova is struggling with things going on in her life. When things get to be too much she runs to Quinton for help. It is now Quinton's turn to return the favor and save Nova from herself. Quinton and Nova might not have an easy love story but they have a damn good one in the end.
 
This series just like Jessica's other series shows that love is not always easy but it is worth fighting over! I rate this with 5 out of 5 stars and is a MUST READ!!
Happy Reading!!

Uncaged (Corps Security 3.5) by Harper Sloan


I didn't think that Harper could make me fall in love with Greg Cage anymore than I already did but I was wrong!!

Uncaged will make you laugh and cry but it is so worth the read Cohen has to be the cutest little boy ever.

Everything seems to be going perfect for Greg but sometimes things can be too perfect. Something happens that can rip his family apart. Luckily Greg has great friends that are always there for him.

I loved this Novella and rate it with 5 out of 5 stars. I love all of the Corps Security guys but Greg is my favorite.

Saving Quinton (Nova series #2) by Jessica Sorensen

I have not read one book by Jessica that was not a 5 star read and this one is no different. Jessica's books make you really think about how good your life really is and I would recommend them to anyone.

At the end of Breaking Nova we had found out that Nova was doing good and quit smoking weed to deal with her problems. She is doing good until she finds out that Quinton is doing bad and has moved up to Meth instead of Weed to deal with his past.

At the beginning of Saving Quinton we see just how bad he is doing. If you are a Breaking Bad fan like I am it is not hard for you to get the picture Jessica paints for us of his life. My heart breaks for him and I wanted to kick his father and aunt and uncle's ass so bad. It takes Nova a lot of research but she finally finds him. Can Nova save Quinton or will trying to save him drag her back down to her drug using bad place? You will have to read to find out because I don't want to spoil it! The only thing I will say is the ending killed me and I can't wait for Quinton and Nova: No Regrets to come out in April.

I love this series because it deals with real issues that people go through everyday. Everyone deals with stuff their own way and sometimes it is not a healthy way and not everyone has someone there to help them when they need it.

Happy Reading!!

Cherished( wanted #4) by Kelly Elliott

At the end of Believe I wanted to kick Scott's ass for hurting Jess like he did. After she thought she saw Scott cheating on her she ran off without telling anyone where she was going. When Scott wakes up he finds out that Jess has ran off because she thought he was cheating on her.

Little does Jess know that is was not Scott she saw but his brother sleeping with the girl so it was a huge misunderstanding. While away Jess meets Trey who likes her and is helping her deal with stuff. Can Scott find Jess and explain what happend before he looses her too Trey? How will Scott feel about the big surprise Jess has for him?You will have to read to see what happens!

I love this series because we get to see how the whole gang is doing. They all have the best friendship and love for each other. This book is full of drama and  funny moments. I rate this a 4 out of 5 stars! I don't know if I am more excited for Lark and Azurdee story or an older Alex and Will's story next lol! 

Happy Reading!!

Believe(Wanted Series 3.5) by Kelly Elliott

Believe is a short novella about Brad and Amanda. I am so glad that Brad is doing better and him and Amanda worked things out. Believe is set around Christmas time and the whole gang and all the kids get together to celebrate.
This was very short and sweet! I can't wait to read Cherished next to see what is going on with Scott and Jess. If you have loved the other Wanted series books you will like this one also.
I rate this a 3 out of 5 stars. Happy reading!!

Faithful (Wanted series #3) by Kelly Elliott

I was on the verge of tears multiple times during this book. Faithful is my favorite book of the series so far. At the end of Saved Josh was in a accident. When he wakes up he don't remember who Heather is or that he was madly in love with her. To make matters worse Josh's ex is his nurse and she is trying everything she can to come in between Josh and Heather.

Will Josh get his memory back and have his happily ever after with Heather? I am not going to ruin it for you lol you will have to read to find out! Lets just say they go through a lot! During Faithful we get some of Brad and Amanda's story and I can't wait to read their short novella next. We are also set up for Scott and Jess's story. At the end of this book I wanted to kick Scott's ass.

I love this series because of the groups friendship. It reminds me of my best friends and I hope we stay as close as the gang in this book as we gett older. Faithful is full of drama, laughs, and emotional moments that will break your heart. I rate this book with a 5 out of 5 stars!

Saved (Wanted series book 2)by Kelly Elliott

First off I LOVE Ari and Ellie, they crack me up and remind me of my best friend and myself. These girls are hilarious. Ari has a mouth like a sailor and don't care what she says.

Saved is mostly Ari and Jeff's story but we also get more of Ellie and Gunner and Josh and Heather. In the end of Wanted Jeff's past came back to haunt him when he got a call from a girl saying that she was pregnant with his child. Ari and Jeff are still together but the girl is trying everything to come between them. Ari thinks that the girl is lying.

Can Ari and Jeff make it through this and get married or will the whore come between them? You will just have to read this book and find out. If you like a book with some drama this is the book for you. I wanted to kick Jeff and Josh's asses too many times to count lol. I rate this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

I can't wait to read Josh and Heather's story Faithful even though I think it will be an emotional rollercoaster.

Embrace ( Evolve Series book 2) by S.E. Hall

  This is just as good if not better than the first book Emerge. Layne has left Evan heartbroken and all alone at a new college ( or so he thinks). Sawyer takes him in and tries to helps him. Evan is slowly becoming part of the group and starting to hang with Layne. Evan starts to hang out with Whitley who is not the person we thought she was from the first book.

  This book is not a sad book like I thought it was going to be, it is about Evan trying to move on and still being friends with Layne. There are many hilarious parts to this book. I think my favorite one was when Evan and Whitley got high and went to get tattoos. Evan starts to have feelings for Whitley but he is scared to do anything about them because of what happened with Layne. In the end Evan and Whitley get their shit together.
 
 I love this series because it shows you that sometimes you think you have found your soul mate but that may not be the case. Everyone is in your life for a reason. I can't wait to start Entangled to get more of Dane and Laney!! This is another 5 start read!
