Review:   

I have received this book as part of a book tour and in exchange of an honest review.

I have to confess I wasn’t completely sure about this book mostly because I’m not a big fan of the whole Cinderella story. Inconceivable did manage to keep me entertained, though and I think that has something to do with the fact this is a very quirky story.

To start with, our fairy godmother is completely different! In this case the fairy is a guy who rides a bike and has a bunch of tattoos!

Allie is a good main character and her interactions with Victor were fun. I enjoyed reading about these two and their relationship, which developed at a nice pace.

The story develops at a nice pace and is very well-written.

I believe that if you are a romance fan you will be able to enjoy this funny, original book.

Summary: 
The daughter of an alcoholic single mother, Asia Blue learned young that if she wanted to survive, she’d have to take care of herself. Tough and independent, she never encountered a challenge she couldn’t conquer…until Asia discovered she was a were-lynx. Befriending sexy fellow were-lynx Conrad Pike and finding a colony helped her adjust to the startling revelation and get through college.

 Now an investigative reporter, Asia faces an entirely different sort of problem when her mother goes missing and she suspects the mysterious Nexus Group…who seem determined to wipe out her colony. She reaches out to Conrad, now an investment banker and serial heartbreaker, for assistance, and they must once again join forces to save their tribe—and her mother.

Will this strong-minded duo risk opening up their hearts and owning up to their long-simmering attraction?It was only supposed to be a one night thing…
Will Delaney and Gracie Alexander are little more than acquaintances when fate lands them in same place at the same time. One drunken hookup later, they decide that the best course of action for all involved is to pretend it never happened.
Will’s recently divorced. Gracie’s perennially single.

Upon first glance, they have absolutely nothing in common.

They both agree on one thing: they’re not looking for a relationship.

The only problem is that they can’t seem to stay away from each other.

Can two people who have sworn off love forever find it in the most unexpected setting?

Review:   

I have received this book as part of a blog tour in exchange of an honest review.

I haven’t read the previous books in this series but that wasn’t a big issue since you can read this book as a standalone.

I really liked Gracie. She’s a strong, determined and spunky character. Will is great as well. He’s brooding and quiet but extremely complex, as well.

I enjoyed reading about the Will’s fears and the development of this relationship with Gracie. This is a really good romance, which developed at a nice pace and kept me very entertained.

I think I’ll soon go back and read the other books in the series!

Review:   

I have received this book as part of a blog tour an in exchange of an honest review.

I ended up really enjoying this book. It is full of romance, angst and steamy moments.

I liked the main characters and thought the chemistry between them was great.  They can both be really stubborn but it’s obvious there’s more than pure lust between them.  Every single character is relatable and easy to like.

Plotwise, this is all about whether Natasha and Joshua will be able to be together or if a secret will keep them apart. I enjoyed reading about this characters and wondering about when they would finally realize they belonged together.

All in all, Stanton Adore is very well-written, the plot develops nicely and the characters and their relationships are great.

If you enjoy a good romance and characters with steamy chemistry, you should definitely read this book.

Review - More Than Him (More Than 03) by Jay McLean

Summary:  
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us." - Marianne Williamson

We live in a world of darkness and shadows,

where monsters hide and aim to ruin.

And they did.

They ruined us and turned our dreams into nightmares.

But now we're back.

And we're fighting.

Not just for us, or for each other, but for our light.

Review:   

I read this book right after I finished More Than Her and I’m glad because, this way, I didn’t feel like Logan and Amanda’s story was interrupted.

I’ve become a big fan of this series and these characters so I was happy to be able to read more about Logan.

More Than Him basically picks up where More than Her finished. Things are not easy for Logan and Amanda. Bad decisions and the past stand between them. Will they be able to overcome all their problems and be together or will they just give up?

Since the beginning of More Than This Logan was one of my favorite characters so I’m actually glad we got two books about him. His funny, cocky and laid back but he also happens to be very intelligent, caring and protective. We get to see another side of him in this book and I enjoyed reading about how he can be both strong and vulnerable almost at the same time. 

Amanda is a good character as well. I think she’s a perfect balance to Logan and their relationship is very interesting and complex.

The rest of the gang make a few appearances during the book, which is always fun.

Plotwise, I found this book to be very interesting.  It is full of sweet and dramatic moments and the reader never truly knows what will happen between Logan and Amanda next.

All in all, More Than Him is a very interesting and well-written book. It is full of ups and downs and the character development is great.

I already started reading the next book in the series and I can tell it’s very good so far.

If you are a fan of New Adult Romance, this series is for you!

Review - More Than Her (More Than 02) by Jay McLean

Title: More Than Her (More Than 02) by Jay McLean

Publisher: 

Publication Date: Nobember 18th, 2013

Paperback/Hardcover: 315

Genre: New Adult Romance

Find it at: Goodreads  / Bookdepository

Summary:  
"For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction."

For every choice you make there are rewards, 

or there are consequences.

It was my choice to walk away the first time.

And my choice to chase her the second.

But sometimes you don't get a choice, 

and all you get are the consequences.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, 

while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

Unless that someone is Logan Matthews. 

Because loving him didn't give me the strength to walk away.

It didn't give me the courage to fight for him.

And when it was over, ll it gave me was a broken heart.

Review:   

I have read the first book in this series a while ago and, for some reason, only now got around to reading this one.

I really liked Logan’s character in More Than This so I was happy to read his story.

In the end of More Than This we know Logan is in love, or at least think he’s in love, with someone but we don’t know who. In this book we get to know who stole his heart.

I already really liked Logan and ended up liking even more.  He’s funny, sure of himself and a bit cocky but he can also be really sweet. He definitely care for those he loves and, in this book, we learn his life hasn’t always been easy.  He’s definitely a great main character.

Amanda is a good character as well. She has gone through some bad things as well but has managed to move on. One thing I enjoyed was the fact that in the beginning Amanda doesn’t want to give Logan a chance. He has a reputation and she’s not interested in being just another girl but he’s so insistent she eventually gives in and goes out with him.

Between the present and flashbacks we get to read about their relationship and some of the mistakes Logan made and how he’s trying to make up for them.

Plotwise, the book develops nicely. We get to read about Logan and Amanda’s life and struggles to get and remain together. We also get glimpses of all the other characters we met in More Than This and what’s to come for them.

All in all, I really enjoyed this book. It is well-written, the characters and the relationships between them are well-developed and interesting. Plus, there’s a little plot twist at the end that managed to surprise me.

I can’t wait to start reading the next book in the series now. If you haven’t started reading this series yet, you should definitely do it.
