Review: Ryan's Bed

Ryan's Bed Ryan's Bed by Tijan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow... just WOW!
I've always been a fan of Tijan's books. The way she is able to almost instantly connect you with the characters, the witty banter often a key component is always endearing, and she knows how to spice it up or throw curve balls. But... Ryan's Bed is different. Yes, you instantly get sucked into the storyline and emotionally connect with the characters. Yes, there is still that sexy fun banter and heated moments. But... it's also so much more on an emotional level. I was trying not to ugly cry ... during the first chapter... while I was at the gym. (Yeah... that was unexpected).
I definitely had my ugly cries ... and I don't even mind. It was worth it to read this one!
The first couple of pages, I noticed something was off with the wording, but I thought it was just me. I even read it a couple times and I just figured it was nothing. But after finishing the book, I realized it was clever foreshadowing.

I love the connection and chemistry mixed with the honest pain and understanding between Ryan and Mackenzie. I think each of the characters in the book, big or small, were interesting and helped lead the story. While you may think some of the conversations with the supporting characters or even with Willow are not anything important, they piece together little pieces of the puzzle.

Review: Broken Knight

Broken Knight by L.J. Shen My rating: 5 of 5 stars My heart is so emotionally invested in this book that I felt it crack, break into pieces, thump wildly with pain and joy and ultimately piece back together. I think Luna and Knight's story impacted me that much more because of how much I fell for Rosie and Dean. L.J. Shen didn't disappoint with the telling of Knight and Luna. Knight is 100% the offspring of his parents. He feels with everything in his soul and loves just a greatly. He constantly fights not only to stay in control of himself and his emotions, but for those he loves. He's breaking hearts and taking names all while pinning for his only love. He's always put Luna in a protective bubble, but what they both didn't realize is that bubble could have been hurting them more than helping them. It's time for Luna to fight for herself. Because if she doesn't learn to walk away and on her own, how is she supposed to sup...

Review: Four Years Later

Four Years Later by Emma Doherty My rating: 5 of 5 stars I didn't realize how many times my heart could break when reading a book until I read this one. I felt Becca's pain throughout and although I wished I could have pushed her in a different direction, her path was an accurate depiction of what someone in her shoes would face. Becca and Ryan couldn't be more in love. She may not know what future she wanted exactly, but she knew that as long as she had Ryan, everything would be okay. Going to school in different states may have caused some tension, but they've survived this long doing the long distance thing, a little longer would fly by. At her school, she could make her own identity outside of "Ryan Jackson's Girlfriend". Little did she know that the title would follow and put her in a horrific situation. One night was all it took, 15 minutes to turn her whole world upside down. No one cares to listen including the o...

Jock Rule by Sara Ney My rating: 5 of 5 stars Every time I get ready to read a Sara Ney book, I know I'm going to enjoy it. Her writing style is just what I need after a long day. It's fun and spunky, filled with banter and topped with a dash of awkward that I just love. View all my reviews
