The Perfect Game

The Perfect Game, A swoon, Awe, feel good book. I have been reading a lot of books with so much angst lately and this was a warm welcome. Don't get me wrong there is some conflicts in the story, enough to keep you intrigued but this story overall had a lot of love. I was Rooting for Cassie and Jack the whole time. Even when he hurt her I wanted it to be ok. There was the perfect blend of romance and sex but it never felt to mushy or over done. Well Done J. Sterling! This has a sequel coming but it also had a perfect ending. Another story will be icing on the cake. Cassie and Jack are the couple you want A happy ever after!

The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/sample/read/2940015750836
Argh omg! I am screaming inside that this story is over. Its a cliffhanger, I am slightly irritated that is over the way it is. Perhaps the fact that I care just means that this was captivating. Callie and Kayden are two of the most twisted characters a book can throw at you. Both with so much pain to overcome. My only saving grace is knowing that Jessica Sorrensen will be releasing a sequel because things have to turn around. There is so much torture for two souls I need them to find a happy ending. 4.5 out of 5

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

Reading Hopeless is one of those stories where during the first few pages I find myself highlighting lines and wanting to reread that line over and over again. 30 pages into the book and Colleen Hoover had me wanting to pick up the phone and call my best friend because she is awesome just like Sky's best friend Six. I loved first how this best friend relationship was developed. I think that is a part of any book that I really love, when there is a great love story but also the female gets great laughs with her best friend. Next we get our love story between Holder and Sky. Its that magnetic kind. Its filled with interesting twists and turns. Colleen Hoover does an amazing job keeping the reader entertained and invested in the story. There is sensitive subject matter and I think she portrays it well. I would give this 4 of 5 because it was fun and then it was great.

The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons

I kept getting suggestions from people on the internet to read The Bronze Horseman. What is this I wondered over and over again. I put it off, but then someone would suggest it again. Finally it went on sale and I jumped at the chance to read it. I was surprised to discover that the story takes place at the beggining of WWII in Lennigrad Russia. Tattiana is sent out by her father to buy as much food as she can because news of Germany going to war with Russia was just announced over the radio. Finding store after store being jam packed with people fighting over sausage, she thinks I'll catch a bus and go to a different part of town. She sits and indulges in one last ice cream cone. Alexander a soldier in the Red Army is at an intersection deciding which way to go. One choice, one simple choice, he sees her. Maybe that one choice changed their fate, or perhaps was their fate. One choice, to cross the street forever changes these two lives. This story is heart wrenching. Millions of people die. Starvation, war, disease, deceit, all are obstacles love must endure. So much happens in this story, I laughed and cried, then when I thought my tears were dry I cried some more. It's emo
tional and painful but exquisite. My sister asked me why do I want to read things that can make me cry, my answer should have been because sometimes you get to imagine a love story so beautiful that you are privileged to have a glimpse of some powerful words from anothers soul. I will carry this story, it will always be with me, following me the way the Bronze Horseman follows Alexander and Tattiana. One choice, to read this story, will be forever attached to my heatt. Once you read this then you know, this is the greatest love story ever told.

Avoiding Commitment and Avoiding Resposibility by K.A. Linde

In Avoiding Commitment Lexi meets Jack. She is drawn to him. She falls in love with him. I am not one to want to give spoilers in my reviews and its hard to review these two stories without giving anything away. Lexi is extremely drawn to Jack. K.A.Linde does an amazing job of making the reader understand how much she loves him. Its an earth shatering kind of love that Lexi has with Jack but it is not always reciprocated in a healthy way. Jack is selfish and in this story you bare witness to a womans struggle to learn to try and put herself first. There was a lot of angst and a lot of love in this story. I laughed, I cried and I anxiously waited to read Avoiding Responsibility. In Avoiding Responsibility Lexi is asked by Ramsey, a man who loves her dearly to go to Jacks wedding. This sequal is sexier than the first. It's all about Lexi following her heart and growing. Lexi has an awesome best friend in both stories but I really fell in love with her in this book. I imagine Lexi and her best friend Chyna as imensly strong, sexy woman. I love their dynmamic. I wanted to like Jack in this book and have him change. Sometimes you can always want a guy to change but things dont always work out the way you want. In this book it worked out better. THESE BOOKS ARE SO WORTH THE READ!

The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher

This is one of those stories that I kept seeing every book page rave about but when I read the synopsis I wasn't sure so I kept putting it off. I wish I had'nt. This book is is so frustratingly wonderful. It has taken me a few days to begin my review because I am left a little heartbroken. This is a story of a flawed woman who is in love but she can't seem to ever get it right with him or make it work. She sees him at a music store and talks to him for the first time in years. He has amnesia and she decieves him so that they can fall in love again. There are so many twist and so much heartache in this story. This is a reminder that sometimes love is not always enough for a relationship to survive. Sometimes it doesn't work the way you want it to or expect it to, however maybe it works out the way it needs to. I am anxious for the next book in this series to come out. This is sad and incredible, so worth the read.
