My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 Epic BR on Monday!!!
http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

5 STARS  FOR AN AMAZING BOOK!!

Words cannot express how fantastic this book is!! 
It's one of these books which have to be experienced to be properly understood...
This book left me thinking and thinking... 
I cried like it was personal experience...Seriously it  brokes my heart but there are moments that Hazel and Augustus make me feel so good...  
It's one of those books that captures the true meaning of deep love whether it be through romance, friendship or family.... 



The beginning was beautiful but as it went deeper into the read we see the ugly truth behind the treatment of chemotherapy...It is so sad to see the effects on a teenage child suffering from cancer.
Hazel has survived of thyroid cancer, after she struggled through daily life. As a result of cancer she has to breathe with the aide of an oxygen tank ... 
And then she meets Augustus and they start their own  journey of discovery as they both attempt to fall in love...
I love the romantic story between Hazel and Augustus. It was a simple act of love which in turn meant so much..

 "My name is Hazel.Augustus Waters was the great star-crossed love of my life.Our was an epic love story and I won't be able to get more than a sentence into it without disappearing into a puddle of tears."



I really liked Hazel, but I know that for a long time I'll randomly think about Augustus Waters!!
He is one of the sweetest characters I have ever read!!

It's my first book from John Green and I really like his writing!! He perfectly combined the themes of comedy and tragedy in this book!
 

For those who haven't  read yet  The Fault in Our Stars , it is a fantastic read that will stay in your mind forever. ..Some  parts of the book you will make you laugh and some other  parts will make you cry ...

The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



""Live in the moment,where everything is just right,take your time and limit your bad memories and you'llget wherever it is you're going a lot faster and with less bumps in the road along the way"


What a beautiful book!!!!I think I´m still in shoch from that ending...I didn´t see that coming.I really didn´t...
This book just completely took my breath away.I think I need a paper bag.My heart is hammering against my chest..

Camryn Bennett is twenty years old.She lives in a small town with her mother. Her life is pretty much a mess.Her boyfriend was killed in a car crash,her father cheated on her mun and they are now divorced.And her brother is in prison for having killed someone in drunk driving and she just got stabbed in the back by her best friend.
Camryn is terrified of ending up like her parents and doing the same thing for forty years.





One day she just have had it.She goes to the bus station and buys a ticket. She doesn´t know where she is going or what she is gonna do when sha gets there, she just have to go. After endless hours on several buses she meets Andrew Parrish, 25 he is on his own journey of self discovery and has his own pain. Together the both of them, form a beautiful and unique friendship.




Andrew what can I say about him???I absolutely fell in love with Andrew. Even during the first half of the book his POVs were like a breath of fresh air. I was thanking Andrew for the words that start to come out of his mouth!!!And the things he did with that mouth... *sigh*





Andrew truly was just a beautiful character.I loved everything he did for Camryn, everything he was for Camryn.I love the people these two characters became when they were together. They not only complemented each other but fed each other’s desires and zest for life. The whole really did add up to so much more than the sum of each individual part.




The final chapters of this book were honestly what managed to blow it out of the water. I don’t think I even have the words to describe the impact they had or the emotions they managed to elicit. I actually had to stop reading a few times due to the violent sobbing that ensued. And even now I still feel their effect.

Fave lines:

"Pain is pain,babe."..."Just because one person's problem is less traumatic than another's doesnt mean they're required to hurt less."

"I don't think you ever really fall out of love with someone"..."I think when you fall in love,like true love,it's love for life.Alle the rest is just experience and delusions."

“What you wear really doesn’t matter much...All that matters is where you’re going and what you’re doing while you’re wearing it.”


"I could die in this bed with him right now,wrapped in his arms and I would never know that I had died"

Amazing book!!!!

The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The story of Tatiana and Alexander is the most amazing, heart stopping, love story ever written!!!!!



I read the Bronze Horseman in two days!!Simons takes you on such an emotional ride you cannot help but feel everything that the hero and heroine go through..
I can´t convey into words how much i adore this book!!!I devour it every world.It is the story about Tatiana and Alexander the most beautiful love story ever written.The book grabs you and holds you because you have to see what is going to happen to these characters.

The Bronze Horseman begins on 22 June 1941 in Leningrad, when war is declared between the Soviet Union and Germany. A 17-year-old girl named Tatiana is sent out to buy food supplies by her father. As she sits in her white dress with red roses, at the bus stop, eating her favourite crème brulée ice cream, her eyes meet those of a young soldier named Alexander Belov, who is standing across the street.As Alexander crosses the street, inexplicably drawn to this innocent blonde girl with freckles, thus begins, a tale so moving that I will never ever forget it.
Alexander is the soldier that Tatiana’s sister, Dasha, had declared herself “in love with” just that very morning, before Alexander and Tatiana’s fateful meeting.But it is lies,secrets and fears that eat at their souls and will threaten to tear them apart....



Both Alexander and Tatiana were extraordinary characters. They will stick with me forever.....
Tatiana is lovable.She is one amazing girl.Her heart's just as big as Alexander's and it's all his.This couple gave a whole new meaning to the saying behind every strong man stands an even stronger woman.



Alexanter how can you Not love him???



How can you not FEEL Tatiana's love for him and his for her.It was palpable!I am in love with him!!!Alexander is the most amazing guy ever. He has the biggest heart and cares so much for the ones he loves. He'll walk through fire for them and give up everything he has.Also there were moments I was so angry at Alexander that it broke my heart. And there were moments when the intensity of Alexander’s love and protectiveness for Tatia made me love him so much it hurt. My GOD!! The way he loved her?! Be still my heart!



After getting the illusion that maybe everything will work itself out in the end, the author goes ahead and ripps your heart out with an ending that will make you numb with sadness....


 

 

Reblogged from Tumbler (and Lyn)

This seems like a fun challenge, and I think I'm going to try to do this. That does not at all mean that I think I'll be able to post something every single day - classes have started and I have lots of linguistics stuff to read...

Happy reading and blogging :)

 Give Me Strength by Kate McCarthy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3,5 STARS


"Some of us have to learn how to save ourselves.."

If you’re looking for a fast paced book with romance, suspense and funny dialogues then this is the book you need!! I’m so glad that there are so many funny and hot characters in this book!!

Give Me Strength introduces us to Quinn..
who suffers from a horrible lost...(view spoiler)[(he lost her boyfriend and then she was pregnant and her stepfather hit her and she lost her child..and now he continues to follow her as we will see in some parts of the book) (hide spoiler)]

Years later.. Quinn meets Travis in a bar and we get our first introduction to everything that is the sexy Travis looks like...




The attraction between Quinn and Travis is both physically and emotionally...

Quinn thinks she is broken but Travis decides that he is just the person to show her that love can fix the most broken of people. ...



OMG OMG Travis.....mmmmm
He is a badass with a heart. I loved his need to protect Quinn. He is what she needs to come out of the shell she has withdrawn into over the years. His always knew what she needed and how he could help her.


"You're so guarded and wary,Quinn.I can understand why, but maybe space is not what you need."
"What do I need?"
"Me"




Quinn gives battles with her inner demons on a daily basis to overcome her haunting memories that have caused her to shut down... It was breathtaking watching her under Travis's gentle and loving affections


I really like this book!!!
I recommend it to everyone!!

 Unattainable by Madeline Sheehan
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

First of all I would like to tell you that I'm obsessed with this series...but unfortunately this book didn't captivate me... :(( The story had a great premise..I really tried to like it but I'm not impressed! I hope the next book to be better!!!
My biggest complain is that I want more of Cage and Tegen...and that
the book also includes the side story of Ellie and Dirty and it ruined the book for me ...




Tegen loved Cage since she was 8 and as much as she tried to hate him after 16 she couldn't. ..She made the mistake of telling him she loved him after he took her virginity...



Years later they finally see each other again..and he apologised to her..
There relationship was always complicated and messy not romabtic ...

I didn't like Tegen in the previous book....and this didn't change in this book.. -.-
I hoped she would already get over Cage but this didn't happen ! I can imagine that it is hard to have your heart broken at such a young age but she hold this on to a grudge!


About Dirty and Ellie..

Ellie is a friend of Danny and she goes to live with Dirty after he saves her from Daniel's almost rape...Dirty then proceeds to pull a gun on her in his sleep and he almost rapes her.She runs away but after seeing him in pain, immediately comes back to comfort him. -.-



I find their story doesn't interest me..and I skip some of their parts....

I hope the next book will be better!!!
And I can't wait for ZZ's book!I want a girl for him!!!

 There is No Light in Darkness by Claire Contreras
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A freaking amazing book!!!



There is No Light in Darkness is an incredible mix of suspense, mystery, plot twists, awesome secondary characters and a beautiful, hot and heavy romance!!
The author did a wonderful job with the storyline where it switched back and forth from the past to the present.The main characters rocked this book!!





I loved Blake and Cole together.The relationship between these two was both flawed and perfect to epic proportions!!I absolutely adored how willingly Cole exposed his vulnerability. And, the extent that Blake would go to in order to protect him however best she could had me rooting for them all the way through.There were some truths that were revealed and when they were exposed, I was gasping and aww’ing… I was a mess! Overall, perfect couple with their fair share of challenges.




“I'm in love with you, Blake. I've been in love with you from the moment I saw you. I've been in love with you from the day I was born and possibly even before then. I belong to you. My body belongs to you. My heart belongs to you. Please let me make love to you."


Cole oh god *sigh*!!He was seriously wonderful! He wasn’t perfect... but he was such a beautiful person and his love for Blake was moving. He was just incredibleand so sexy!!





I liked Blake’s character, she was strong. She looked out for those she loved and did what she thought was best to protect them. Aubry and Becky were also great! They brought a lot to the story.

 Beauty Awakened by Gena Showalter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars




His name is Koldo.He is scarred,powerful,his control legendary and he lives only for vengeance against the angel who viciously revoved his wings.But if he yields to the forces of hatred he will be eternally damned.



Koldo lost his wings when he was younger, and we finally get a chance to learn how he lost his wings and why.He had a very tough childhood because of his parents and it really broke my heart when I learned about his relationship with his parents.
He just wanted his parents to be proud of him and acknowledge him but he doesn’t get it....


He strives to be different from his father and we see him struggle within himself as his story goes on.He cannot fly but he can teleport which is a rare ability.
We also get to see him interact with the other soldiers in Zacharel’s army which is awesome...Axel was awesome I hope the next book is about him!!





Then we meet Nicola...Nicola has a twin sister named Laila who is in the hospital when you first read the book.We learn that Laila has a demon inside of her and demons cannot be inside of you unless you welcome them. There are also two demons around Nicola which isn’t good.
I really liked Nicola but there were also times when I wanted to hit her because she was forcing her sister to do something she obviously doesn’t want to but that’s pretty much the only thing I didn’t like about her..




I think what I liked best about the story is how effortless the romance is between Nicola and Koldo.I can see how and why they fall for each other.Koldo just wants to be loved and Nicola is the balm to his tattered soul. It hit my romance happy buttons all over.



Unfortunately the book failed big time in the sexual arena.Usually Showalter's books really deliver with the sexy times.Here I reread their first sexual encounter three times and I'm still not sure what the hell happened. Then when they finally do seal the deal again, the language is vague and totally unsatisfying.

The story was overall great but the whole “Sent One” vs. Angels was kind of confusing because I thought they were all angels..
I was also confused with what Thane’s POV in some chapters had to do with anything.He always sounded crazy and angry at the world and it was different from Koldo’s POV.

I really enjoy this book(expect from the part about his birthday.. -.-)
I like the characters,Taryn is an awesome Heroine she is all kinds of bad ass and some of the 
best one liners I've heard come out of a Chicks mouth!!And what can I say about Trey????
Oh my god he was so sexy strong, confident, feral, crazy, possessive, hot, crazy, brave,amazing!!!!! 
Their sex scenes, their need to possess one another, their love, their bond, their weird and amazing relationship is something you enjoy throughout the book!!!
It was an enjoyable read, and I'm looking forward to read the next story of the Phoenix Pack!! 

 One Week Girlfriend by Monica Murphy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Wow what was this????Amazing this book blew my mind!!!!
This book start with Drew who want to hire Fable to pretend to be his girlfriend to get his parents off his back..At first Fable is not interested in entertaining Drew's offer. Well at least not until he names the amount he is willing to pay her!!There is no way she can turn this down when she is struggling to make ends meet as it is. But Fable is no fool. She knows early on there is more going on than Drew is willing to disclose. And she is okay with that...for now.
Drew has a secret...and when I learn it I was like that
Oh my god!!!!!!



Drew and Fable were complimented each other. Knowing that they were both somehow fucked up in life, they were both bound to end up together. Being the only ones who can understand each other.

Fable is the lead female character,she is strong and not a whining virgin. I love that she is sassy with a backbone. I love that she is the one that is strong over the big hunky jock that is Drew Callahan. So unexpected.



Drew...is so fucking hot!!!!I am in love with him!!!!He is so surprised by Fable and all that she can give him its touching. Not many young male lead characters grasp the need for this.




The sex scenes was so hot and yummy :) !!!!




What can I say about the end????I NEED THE SECOND BOOK RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!
yOU MUST ALL READ THIS BOOK!!!

 Second Chance Boyfriend by Monica Murphy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I freaking love it!!!!Amazing book!!!!
The whole time I was reading this book I had a smile on my face.Well pretty much the whole time.There were a few moments that didn't have a smile.But let's just say by the time I finished my face hurt from smiling so much!!There are a lot of happy moments!!!!



This book picks up 2 months after Drew left her behind to try to straighten out his life and the family devastation his stepmom dumped on him during Thanksgiving break.He is seeing a therapist to try to sort things out but he misses Fable and isn't sure how to get her back or if he is the man she deserves.The pair are reunited by chance when he goes to the new restaurant she is working at and when she spots him she wants to find out why he left her behind and if there is still a chance for them.
Putting their love back on the front burner means work but they are willing to try even though the odds are against them.


I loved this couple.We get to see so much love and strength between Drew and Fable develop and I loved it. And let me tell you, Drew and Fable make up for some lost time, and they are even hotter than the first book.I know right?! I fell in love with Drew all over again!!!!


For a passion that
Able to shine like ours
Blessed are we to
Love
Each other

Drew the great poet.I loved him.Loved his little poems.
He is really broken, dealing with his past and fears. But still he tries to fix everything with Fable, he needs her to heal, both of them are one. I loved how he starts building his life once again, getting ready to feel and open up to a new life with Fable and dealing with his insecurities.He is so sweet!!!


Amazing story about love!!!!


My Drew and Fable

 The Prelude by KaSonndra Leigh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When I first heard about this book it instantly caught my attention.The Prelude was a nice book.I enjoy reading it..but some scenes I thought, were predictable
The story begins with a tragic which I found to be heartfelt and believable. Erin has suffered a tremendous loss that forever changes her view on love.She vows never to let 'love' anywhere near where it can hurt her again..

“You tore open my heart. You made me feel pain when all I wanted to feel was joy. So now, I will remove your power over me. I’ll never kiss anyone or trust in any dream that you can take away from me.
I will never believe in you, ever again"

But then she meet Alek mmmm what can I say about a sexy,hot steamy Maestro!!!
I like him a lot.He is so gentle with Erin and he careful with how he handles her right from the start.
Erin continually has this continuous flow of thoughts and called it Reckless Me and Righteous Me - I didn’t like it for some uncertain reason it annoys me sometimes.

 On Dublin Street by Samantha Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amazing book!!!This was heartbreaking, steamy and addicting!!
On Dublin Street is a fun, steamy and sweet story.




Braden....oh Braden I loved him!!!
He made this book fantastic for me without a doubt!I actually could have just read about him alone and been happy!!
Braden Carmicheal was sexy, smooth and heart stoppingly delicious. He's a Scottish man that loves to be in control and is so sexy doing it.



A successful buisness man that always gets what he wants and he wants gorgeously broken Jocelyn Butler....

Jocelyn has had a very hard childhood, she lost her parents and sister in a tragic car wreck when she was fourteen.And because of that is very shutdown and has a hard time dealing with personal attachments to people, she never lets anyone get close.
Going through a bit of a life change Joss has to find a new place to live and while looking for that place, as fate would have it, has a run in with Braden. The story really takes off and is impossible to put down.





About the sex scenes are seriously hot!!!These two have chemistry inside and outside of the bedroom that is seriously combustible.And just when I didn’t think Braden could be any more freaking sexy in the bedroom, he demanded to spoon with Joss!
