      My book I'm just now picking up is Wanting More by Jennifer Foor!

And now here is my teaser for y'all....

"You promised you wouldn't touch me." Tears filled her eyes.

I wiped them away with my fingers. "I lied."  My lips pressed against Amy's.  Just like my stolen kisses before, I pulled away before she could reciprocate.  I cupped her face in my hands and waited for her to push me away.  After a few seconds I kissed her again.  "Do you want me to stop?"

Her eyes were still closed from our kiss.  I looked down at her puffy lips and couldn't wait to feel them again.  This woman needed to be consumed.  She needed to know that she was sexy as hell and desired, and I wanted to the guy to show her.

When she didn't reply, I brushed my mouth against hers.  "Tell me you want me to stop, Blaze."

I could feel her increased breathing as she spoke.  "I don't!"

That's Conner and Amy!!  I can already tell this book is going to be just as good as the other ones if not better!!  Hurry up and pick it up, it came out for kindle yesterday!!  I'll do a full review on it as soon as I finish it!!  Thanks and have fun with Pick a Page Tuesday!  I know I can't wait to read what all y'all pick!

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

 

Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies...

That's what Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she's never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past she wishes could just stay buried.

Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he's nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn't at all who he's been claiming to be. When the secrets he's been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky's life will change forever.

Um, wow! This is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this book.  I couldn't put it down. I cried, laughed, and did alittle of both at the same time while reading this book.  I have to say that this is one of the most intense books I have read in a very long time and I suggest if you haven't read it yet, that you need to move it to the top of your book list like NOW! Where do I even begin.  I just never saw the direction this book was going until near the end.  Usually I can read something and be like I know how this is going to go... but this book wasn't like that.  Sky is such a strong character and I love her to death!  She never seems to give up even when everything seems to crash down on her she picks herself back up and keeps facing the problem.  All I can say about Holder is can I have one?  But seriously, his character is also so strong and intense.  You don't get his POV in the book but it's never hard to figure out what he's thinking or going to do because Colleen Hoover is just that good of a writer and makes you feel like the characters are real and it's a scene playing out in front of you or something.  This book was so well written that I didn't even find a written error while reading it... and that's rare.  I usually always find some small mistake (nothing major just small words mispelled or something like that) but with this book I didn't find any and it made it even easier to get lost in the pages.  I give this book 5 stars ***** even though it deserves so much more.  I bought it on my kindle but I've already ordered it for my bookshelf as well because it will be picked up time and time again.  It will also be one that I don't loan out to friends :).... it might be gifts but they won't be reading or messing up mine!  Fair warning though, you should at least be 17+ for this book not just because of the sexual content but because of abuse content.  It's for mature readers for sure.  Either way if you haven't read this yet don't wait any longer because you are missing out!  It just became one of my all time favorites.

The Mitchell Family Series (books 1 - 4.5) by Jennifer Foor

  
Normally I write first whats on the back of the book and then add what I thought about the book, but since I'm reviewing all five books in one blog I'm changing it just alittle.  These books have easliy become some of my favorite reads and you can be sure I will be picking them up again and again.  The characters really draw me into their stories. 

Letting Go:
The first book (Letting Go) is about Colt and Van and their story and what they go through to be together.  The way they fight what they feel so they don't hurt Ty (Van's boyfriend and Colt's cousin) almost made me cry!  The entire time I was like "NO YOU IDIOTS SPEAK UP!!".  When Ty finds out, and Colt and Van finally do speak up. Colt is willing to risk his close friendship with his cousin so he can have Van because to him she's the one.  Van is willing to risk even more public ridicule and her best friend for Colt.  It was wonderfully written and pulled me in from the very first page!  I give it 5 stars *****!  I loved Colt and he easily became my favorite character (with Ty coming in at a close second once he started to behave himself at the end of the book).


                                                            Folding Hearts:
The second book is Ty and Miranda and Bella's story.  At the end of book one Miranda goes into labor and Van and Ty help her deliver Bella in the backseat of Van's car.  Miranda has always had a thing for bad boys and seems to always pick the worst ones.  With Tucker it is no different.  The felt like her having their child would change his ways.  When she realizes it's not going to happen and he threatens her and Bella.  Her family send them to Ty's family farm in a different state to keep them safe.  Ty watched Bella be born and has felt connected to her ever since.  He video chats with her, and carries all of her pictures in his wallet.  He's grown up and not as interested in only getting laid.  He wants what he can't and shouldn't... Miranda!  When she shows up at his door unexpectedly, his life feels complete in a matter of days.  He realizes he'll do anything to keep Miranda and Bella safe and with him.  They become a family in what feels like no time, whether the rest of their families like it or not.  This book wasn't my favorite but that's because Van in this book seemed bitchy until the end and it's explained....Thankfully!!  I do give this book 4.5 stars ****+.  I really enjoyed this book and the only parts I didn't like was the Van's bitchiness and what seemed like jealousy on her part.  The rest of the book was a fantastic read.


Raging Love:
This book is back to Colt and Van.  They are trying to get all the arrangements done so they can get married and live their happily ever after.  After certain troubles, Colt goes above and beyond and is certainly very close to being the perfect about to be husband!!  Their honeymoon is funny since Ty and Miranda come along too.  You know with Ty everything is a competition!  Colt and Van are trying to have a baby and when they finally do get pregnant you would think life wouldn't throw them a hardball but Tucker reappears in their lifes and changes things for them in the worst kind of way.  Once everything seems to settle down again... things begin to look up and the book ends on a happy note because I'm pretty sure I would have thrown a hissy fit otherwise!  Giving this book 5 stars ***** because as with all the others it was wonderfully written and kept me drawn in the story to where I couldn't put the book down.  Poor customers are work who interupted me, either by calling or walking in... I'm sure I wasn't very nice! 


Risking Fate:
This book goes back to Ty and Miranda.  They are trying to get pregnant again and when they do they get a BIG surprise!  On a visit back to Kentucky, they make a pit stop for food and restroom breaks when they run into Tucker's mother.  She soon has them served with papers stating she wants to be apart of Bella's life.  Ty is heartbroken and will do anything to keep his daughter only with him and their family and keep her away from that evil woman.  He has to ask for help from a person he wishes he never had to see again.  Choices are made and what felt like the right ones ended up being the wrong ones.  Then the worst happens.  After all they've been through though, they fight all odds and manage to continue to be a family even though a blast from Ty's past wants revenge and to sabotage his happily ever after with Miranda and Bella.  This book I also give 5 stars ***** because I just loved it!  It was again beautifully written and the characters drew you into their story and I loved every minute of it!


Wrapping Up:
This book is a short story about Thanksgiving being hosted by Colt and Van and a short story about Christmas being hosted by Ty and Miranda.  I think I laughed the entire time over the antics of all of them.  I give this book 5 stars ***** for keeping me in tears from laughing so hard and just being good and yummy!!  








I recommend these books and feel like it is for mature readers but I would say 17+.  

I also can't wait for the 5th book to come out!  It is about Conner (and we all love Conner)!!

Up To Me by M. Leighton

Up To Me

 

Happily ever after doesn't come easy.  But for love, it's always worth the fight.

Olivia finds bliss unlike any she's ever known in Cash's arms.  He sets her skin on fire and melts her heart right inside her chest.  Unfortunately, their happily ever after is short-lived when a shadow from Cash's past threatens to turn their world upside down.

Dangerous people from his father's world have discovered that Cash holds information that could put them away for a very long time.  And they're willing to do anything-and hurt anybody-to get it back.  Giving it up means Cash must choose between the life of his father and the life of Olivia.

Having nearly overcome her wariness of bad boys, Olivia's trust is shaken when this new treat arises.  Now she finds that Cash is not only a danger to her heart, but his family has associations that are a danger to her life as well.  She soon discovers that there are some situations in life where trust is a girl's only option.  And this is one of them.  If she's to live, she must trust Cash with her life.  But to Olivia, that's much, much easier than letting go and trusting him with her heart. 

                                             *******************************

First of all if you haven't read the first book Down To You, in the Bad Boys Series... Read it now!!! Now where to begin with this book... Olivia and Cash just drew me in from the beginning.  Their chemistry is shall we say... VERY HOT *fanning self*.  I couldn't put this book down and when I did I was chomping at the bit to get back to it!  Work should be so lucky that I was even able to give any attention to customers today while reading this.  Cash is the typical bad boy who isn't completely "bad boy" if you get my drift.  He cares deeply for Olivia and it confuses him at the beginning because he doesn't want to care about anyone.  He doesn't want a weakness and that's what he realizes Olivia is, she is his weakness but one he wants to keep and never let go.  Olivia has a past of picking the wrong bad boy and at first she feels like Cash is no different except that his stare, touch, and voice does things to her that no one ever has before.  She fights her warring thoughts of  "could be" heartbreak and just follows her heart and how Cash makes her feel. She comes to realize though that there isn't anything Cash wouldn't do or risk for her.        

This book is fantastic and I give it a five star ***** review.  M. Leighton knows how to write a story and draw you in from the beginning.  This is a read you'll want to pick up again and again.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
