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: 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!

Quick Thoughts: Misunderstood

Misunderstood by Kathryn Kelly
My rating: 2 of 5 stars



Ugh.. where to start? I didn't really feel the connection between Johnnie and Kendall. He was still pinning for Meg! I was waiting.. maybe half way of the story he could redeem himself but was so disappointed because by the end of the book he was still hung up on her! I'm all into love triangle stories but this one didn't sit well on me. Johnnie and Kendall together? I didn't believe it. He spent the whole time in love with Megan then few pages he's not anymore? Really?

Kendall was unlikeable heroine in my opinion. This woman has experienced so much shit but I didn't feel any pity or whatever. I liked reading under dog characters but she just felt flat to me throughout the story. -_-

To be honest, Meg stole the show in this book. I didn't like her here. You'd think we had enough of her since ya' know she already had two books in the series but nooooo... the author had to still include her and take a big part in this book too.

Set aside the romance thing going on in the book, I'm still giving this 2ish stars because the story was just all over the place and poorly executed.

I don't know if I'll continue this series. I love the first book and second book came out just okay... then this.. ugh. Disappointed.
