This is book 2 in the Wide Awake series, see our review of Wide Awake, Here

If you have read Wide Awake, you will realize fast that Milo is not like his brother, Mason. Milo has a lot of demons following him that haunt him at just about every turn. Drug dealers he had managed to out run catch up to him and leave him in a hospital bed, but as soon as he gets back on his feet, he leaves town, changes his name and doesn't look back.

The new town puts Milo in the hands of a preacher and his daughter, Joey, who fight to get him sober and make him into the hard working guy that he ends up. Joey is Milo's sponsor of sorts and she ended up really making me want to smack her later on when she went from being a best friend to being self centered and not as caring of a person.

Then there is Maya! Maya has had many things in her life go wrong, and is also a recovering drug addict. That common link brings Maya and Milo together and you really do root for them. Both of them are guarded and stubborn and Milo promises to chase her, and he does. When tragedy happens, Milo is there for Maya and Maya is there for him when he has to face the demons of his past and find the family he let go before. 

You get to see Mason and Emma and their family too!

Severed Colours by Dawna Raver Review!

*We were offered a free review copy by the author for an honest review.*

Before you read this book it is very important you read book 1 first. Book 1 is Colour Wielders and it is where you really get to know all the characters and understand the Colour Wielders world. You can find it Here

 I have to say that I love Raver's imagination and writing. She is an excellent story teller. 

Severed Colours starts off right after Colour Wielders ends. Quinn is still trying to come to terms with what she thinks is Arik's betrayal,her impending awakening, and what Morgana will do with her. Quinn and Arik go through several trials during this book. One of them being the vengeance of Morgana who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. When something goes terribly, Arik has to beg the Triarchia  for help, but their help comes with a price.  This price had me worrying about their future as a couple. I am a HUGE Arik fan so this had me really sad for him and at the same time I was rooting for them to figure out how to undo what was done to Quinn.. She got on my nerves a little with how she was treating Arik, but I know it wasn't her fault. I really enjoyed seeing her father and the other magicals a lot in this book and loved seeing more into the magical world. Quinn really grew into her powers after her awakening and she is pretty awesome.  I absolutely loved the ending  but there is still a huge problem they need to fix and don't really have much time to do it. Especially since 1 of the 3 needed to do this is no longer on their side.  I love how like Colour Wielders, Severed Colours is also written in both Quinn and Arik's POV. You really see how much Quinn means to Arik and how he will do anything to protect her. I can't wait for the next book to find out what happens.  I definitely recommend this series. Great writing and an amazing story.

Chris and I have faced our demons and bared our souls to one another in Paris. Now that we are back home in San Francisco, I want to believe that nothing can tear us apart.

Not Mark who had once been too intimately a part of our lives and who tries to act strong but I can see him crumbling inside out.

Inevitable by Angela Graham Review!

*We received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*

Inevitable by Angela Graham

Inevitable by Angela Graham was funny, romantic, it felt like a fresh breath after you have been locked up for a while. Since the first page, it got me hooked and wanting to know more about the characters, and trying to figure out where the story will be heading.  Cassie is not like the other protagonists, she is fun, smart and even when life had thrown her into difficult situations, she always found the strength to get back on her track and trying every day to see the positive side of everything. When Logan enters into her life, she is interested in him and all the mystery that surrounds him, and well, because he is sexy and quite handsome too. As the story progresses, you can’t help but to fall in love with Logan, even when he is too complicated that it makes you wonder what’s going on in his head. For real. But the truth is, life hasn’t been too good to Logan either, and behind all his “playboy” façade , there’s an amazing man, who is just waiting for the right girl. The end leaves you wanting more, as in my case, which I’m starting book two right now.  If you enjoy love stories with interesting twists, some good humor, great characters (and very handsome guys) this is your book. I highly recommend it.

Seeking Her by Cora Carmack Cover Reveal!

A few months after being honorably discharged from the military, Jackson Hunt is still struggling to adjust back to the real world. He needs to get a job and find a sense of normalcy if he’s going to keep his own demons at bay. The job that falls into his lap, though, is anything but normal.

Bodyguard (and baby-sitter) to spoiled-rich-girl Kelsey Summers isn’t exactly what he’d been looking for, but it’s a chance to travel, to get away from the home that has felt stifling ever since his return. It would be a pretty sweet gig if it weren’t for the fact that Kelsey’s father doesn’t want Kelsey to know she’s being followed. Hunt feels guilty (and a little bit creepy) as he watches her from afar. She’s vibrant and infuriating, exciting and reckless, mysterious and familiar. When he sees her falling into the same patterns that he suffered years ago, he decides it’s time to stop watching and help her instead. But getting to know her is more difficult than he thought, especially because the more he knows her,the more he wants her.

Trust Me by Kristin Mayer Blog Tour!

4.5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. Allison is barely herself since her parents died a year ago. The only person that really keeps her from fully losing herself is her best friend Sam. She decides to take a small vacation to Miami to find herself again. While there she meets this really sexy guy, Damien.  Though it is only a few days, she finds her self falling for him fast. Luckily she finds out that he only lives a few hours from her in GA. So they continue their relationship once they leave Miami. It was really nice seeing how much they both love each other. Several different incidents happened where i thought that Damien over reacted and caused me to think he was a little too controlling and protective. Later on in the book you find out why he is the way he is and it makes complete sense. This book is fully of action too. Not only is there romance but there is actually a murder from the past that needs to be solved for Allison becomes the next victim. I LOVED the ending. Damien is so sweet and loving to her. The book does end on a cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next book to find out what happens.
