Quick Thoughts: You Make Me by Erin McCarthy

You Make Me by Erin McCarthy
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

2.5

Not my cup... heroine annoyed the hell out of me! She was too dramatic that it hurts to continue reading the book. It's either she wants to be with Heath or Ethan and she couldn't make up her damn mind! Top it off that she cheated? ugh. (and yes, in my opinion she did cheat with her fiancé!) She kept thinking and texting Heath while Ethan (the fiancé) is asleep! Then afterwards decided to meet him in his apartment while the fiancé is away.. nice girl huh?[she kept thinking Heath and text him while Ethan is asleep! Then afterwards decided to meet him in his apartment while the bf is away.. nice girl huh? (hide spoiler)]

And when Heath asked her if is she wants him to fight for her- she said YES. (and she asked this question while she's still in a relationship with her fiancé!)  Now while she finally decided Heath is the one she wants, she found out that her ex fiancé (Ethan) is "trying" to move on and she has the nerve to feel hurt about it!!![Heath is the one she wants, she found out that her ex fiance (Ethan) is "trying" to move on and she has the nerve to feel hurt about it!!! (hide spoiler)]

I could understand some of her situations and feels. Heath was the love of her life and after all these years seeing him again awakened something in her but let me tell you, being in her mind and literally reading what she thinks was a pure torture! To be honest Heath or Ethan didn't deserve this woman. She was incredibly immature and selfish.. not a heroine I want to read.

Typical NA genre.. I just can't get over with the heroine. so 2.5 stars for me!

Quick Thoughts: Bounty by Kristen Ashley

Bounty by Kristen Ashley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this one! Though its been awhile so I had to re-visit the COLORADO MOUNTAIN SERIES as for some reason I quite forgot who the heck is DEKE. Lol!

BOUNTY has EVERYTHING why you love Kristen Ashley. Its pretty long and lots of inner thoughts from the heroine.. but its KA!



KA is one of these rare authors that writes a book and just hit you in the right spot! (Only a KA fan would understand that. lol!)

4.5 STARS for me. I guess the only thing that kinda irked me was the way they quite talk. Kinda poetic? They babble something so simple yet so hard to understand.



And also the heroine.. She sounds just like the hero, kinda like a biker. I feel like she doesn't have any identity... and sometimes I couldn't tell them apart. ugh.. Again I prolly not making any sense here. lol! But I noticed that in most of KA's books.. so I guess that's just her style.

Anyways, still a 4.5 STARS!

Quick Thoughts: Virtue & Vanity by Astrid Jane Ray

Virtue & Vanity by Astrid Jane Ray
My rating: 2 of 5 stars



This is so sad because this book has everything I WANT! The plot was interesting, we have a cruel hero, hero who is inlove with ow, TSTL under dog heroine and they are in a marriage of convenience. Sounds promising yeah? Not really...

It just didn't do it for me. As I mentioned, the story line was good.. first few chapters was engaging but it quickly went down after that. The drama was MEH. I feel like I was just reading it and it should have made me feel like I'M IN IT. The way it was told was a lil off, some scenarios was all over the place that my mind couldn't even process it. There were some revelations but the way it was delivered was chappy and boring. For me the whole thing was lack of something. Everything just didn't sit right to me. I don't know.. I'm prolly not making any sense here again. lol!

I'm all into underdog characters- heroine with no backbone? Fuck sign me up! But the heroine here annoyed the shit out of me! It seems like she cried in every fuckin chapter! I think the author was trying to make us reader feel sorry for her, but the constant whining, shaking, throwing up, passing out and the self pity bullshit was too much EVEN for me WHO LOVES THIS KIND OF SHIT!

I've been reading this for 3 days, not even close to the end and It made me think.. "Why do I even bother?"

So I gave up. I skimmed throughout and just read the ending. I can now cross this one out!



BTW- I'm not sure why this one is labeled as dark, it sure didn't feel like anything dark to me!

Nero (Made Men #1) by Sarah Brianne

Series: Made Men #1

Genres: Contemporary Romance, New Adult, Erotic

Publication Date: June 27, 2014

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nero is the king of Legacy Prep, living a life of power. Elle is the school’s punching bag, living a life of fear. The only good girls Nero knows jump in his bed when he tells them to. The closest Elle has come to a bad boy like him is in the cafeteria line. The mob boss gave him orders to find out what she knows. Her mouth is sealed.
I just want to be a fu**ing made man.I’m just a fu**ing waitress.

My Thoughts

Holly Nero this was good! Alpha hero with a weak/abused heroine? I gobbled this shit up and I know what you all thinking..

For me this book is quite typical.. Hero is popular, hot, rich.. blah, blah!Heroine is weak, poor and thinks she's plain.. yada, yada!

Same old clichéd theme that we probably read like 13242735 times but NERO has a little spice and twist that made this a little different! H/h are in their 18ish.. so this book is YA genre but with a glorified sexuality.. Am I making sense? No? Ok. 

I guess the main reason why I so loved this book is because of NERO. Fuckin NERO CARUSO! He's around 18ish.. (I know right? so young!) but he's very controlling, possessive and manipulative. He's one of those hero that makes you want to..

All kidding aside- despite the clichéd plot, I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book! I just wish there was, I don't know.. more? Something that would have grip me intensely. But other than that, its a 4.5 stars for me.

This is a great start for a new series and I can't wait for the next book. I'm hoping its Chloe and Lucca! I mean for awhile I shipped Amo/Chloe but the moment Chloe met Lucca? I felt the tension, I don't know what kind of tension.. but there was something deep in there!! 

As you can tell, I am in love with Nero.. but Lucca? He's something else.. something dangerously hot. Lol! 

Damn it. I need it now!

About the Author

Hey! My name is Sarah Brianne and after living for twenty-two years the characters in my head told me enough was enough and I have finally put pen to paper (or is it finger to keyboard?) to tell their stories. Since I was a little girl I have watched every chick flick I could get my hands on, then when I became older I discovered a whole new world of romance novels. To me there is nothing better then a tale of true love and those are the stories that have inspired me to write. Like everything else in my life I have put my own spin on two lovers destined to be together.
