BOOK REVIEW and GIVEAWAY for Not Made To Last by Jay McLean


NOT MADE TO LAST
by JAY McLEAN

Two simple words hold the truth of our love: wait and hope.

Olivia
Rhys Garrett—recent high school graduate, ex-captain of the basketball team, and my brother’s rival both on and off the court.
Oh, and he’s also the guy I just hit with my truck.
Awesome.
To be fair, he had it coming.
Why else was he dressed in all black, in the middle of the night, if not to hide out amongst the darkness?

Rhys
I wasn’t looking where I was going or what was around me. I didn’t even see the headlights. Just felt the impact. And I thought, as strange as it was, that getting hit by a car may be the best thing that could’ve happened to me.
Until I opened my eyes…
…and she told me her name.
***
Some might call it fate, destiny, kismet…
A collision of souls.
One night.
One chance encounter.
The problem?
One night wasn’t enough.
But the more time we spent together, the more truths came to light.
And soon, we’d discover that what we once thought was meant to be…
…is not made to last.


REVIEW: 4 STARS
"The family we create means more than the family who created us."

Oh my goodness, hiiii. Remember me? *hides* I know it's been a while since I've typed up more than a few words on my computer and onto my blog, but coming back to tell you about a book I read is the sole reason I had to jump back on. I have my favorites and I still read occasionally, but actually publishing a review is few and far between right now. I have *missed* Jay McLean over the last few years she's been gone. Of all people, I know we all need a break now and then - but my gosh, it's stories like hers that bring me back to my reading happy place - and actually wanting to write a review.. The subtle reminder of why I love to read honest voices resides comfortably in her books. I enjoy her storytelling in a way that I'm not sure I can explain without you knowing her and how she articulates her thoughts - but it's so worth the journey. This was the best "welcome back" I could have hoped for.

"Breathe. One more time. Every time."

Young Adult wasn't my favorite for a long time because there just wasn't a voice out there that could articulate or tell a story for that age of characters that I didn't roll my eyes at. Jay McLean changed that genre for me, and I am ever thankful. There was a definite "inspired" ache in this book and one that I couldn't put down. I love getting pulled into a book that has my heart on a leash, and this one definitely did. The ache was more due to the circumstances that were all there, without foresight - and I couldn't get enough of it. The buildup to Rhys and Olivia figuring everything out had me anxious with anticipation - which is my favorite kind of read. I like the feel of the need to pace, to nervously anticipate how it's all going to unfold. I obviously knew there was going to be some heart-hurting moments, but that ache was a welcome emotion in this story. It's hard finding them well written in young adult books, I feel - and I'm pretty sure Jay McLean holds that niche in the market for me. She has always reeled me in and held me hostage with her words, and with Rhys and Olivia testing all their waters together, it just made that ache relatable and insightful. Basically, if she's writing it, I'm reading it. It's a foregone conclusion at this rate. So, that would beg the question: am I biased? Prejudiced? Already made my mind up? Nope. I know with every review I write, I will always say what I didn't like or did like with any author that writes it. Always.

So, yeah - the only thing that made me even remotely tip my head in this one was how the "deception" came about...but #money. And, it buttoned up suuuuper quickly. I mean, are those bad things? I supposed it's up to the reader but I am pretty confident I just didn't want a quick and easy out and I wanted to sit and settle into their world a little looooonger - but apparently books end. #Rude

BUT, the weirdest thing is, this one made me question fate...or kismet, and I have never questioned it, buuuut, I'm still smiling remembering how it made me feel. Just thinking back about how this all happened - it was supposed to be fate. It was supposed to be destined. But as I'm writing this, that helping hand that fate seems to enjoy every now and then played a blind part in this whole book and I honestly loved that dynamic. Having said that, I am not sure I wholly understood the meaning behind said helping hand until it was all said and done and I was reflecting on the story as a whole. Some things didn't line up for me as I was reading it because I was so caught up in Rhys and Olivia falling in love and finally figuring things out, but it all worked itself out in the end. I was wrapped up. Completely. And I fell hard. Super hard and rather quickly. I started it and looked down and I was at 63% and that was a tragedy in and of itself because I could have stayed there for days. I just loved how their relationship evolved and I'm pretty sure I connected with Olivia on a little deeper level as she tried to keep Rhys at arms length. Jay McLean is an excellent emotional writer and she expresses them not only in her words, but in the actions her characters have.

So, after a long break from writing reviews, I'm merely suggesting (or trying to suggest) you give this one a try and will easily recommend it - or any Jay McLean book, for that matter. Are you curious but not sure if you want to jump in? (Weird thought, right?) You can check out the first chapter HERE and see if it's something you'd like to read. I think you want to. I definitely recommend this book and hope you fall in love all over again, just like I did. So, hop right on over to Jay McLeans Post with the first chapter and give it a whirl. And then grab it, because, well...let's discuss!! 

"Because it's so much easier to hate you when the feeling is reciprocated."

Until next time,
~BEE

Book Review and Giveaway Beautifully Broken Pieces by Catherine Cowles



BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN PIECES
by CATHERINE COWLES

A woman who’s lost everything.

Taylor is looking for peace and quiet away from the memories of all she’s lost. A small mountain town where no one knows her seems like the perfect escape.

A man battling the ghosts of his past.

Walker loves his life just the way it is. His town, his family, his brothers in blue. Everything simple and easy—until a chance encounter changes it all.

When Taylor’s solitude is interrupted by the rugged cop, they find that the very thing they were avoiding might be just what they both need. As their iron wills clash and passion flares…a killer lurks.

And you never know who might be caught in the crosshairs.


REVIEW: 4 STARS
"Even the happy memories...they break my heart."

PERFECT start to a new series!!! I am completely smitten. Walker is the man! *insert simultaneous sigh and heart eyes here.* I have read one other book by Catherine Cowles, but I can tell you with the beginning of this series, it will be one that I will follow closely and I plan on having them all signed and on my shelf!! Cowles' writing style breathes ease and comfort. Her words flow very easily and I found myself getting caught up in all the goings-on of this little town....and now I need to visit Sutter Lake! 

Immediately, the very beginning of this story spelled out the beauty of a small town romance where someone's word actually means something. People know everyone and when a new person comes to town...and most are there to help them fit in. Catherine Cowles writes the type of small town romance I absolutely adore. 

"You can lean back against me. I've got you."

A slow and sweet perusal into the possibilities of love after loss, this book gave me a chance to slow down and fall in love. Walker and Taylor were so in tune with each other - their banter and flirting causing me all the giddy feels, but they didn't even recognize it. That was so fun to watch it blossom. I loved watching their friendship being tip-toed around until they had no other choice but to give in. It was the most smile-inducing transition, mostly because I knew they had no choice - but the love was backed by a new best friend. They could fight it all they wanted, but the truth was right in front of their eyes!! 

Soft, sweet and an adventure all wrapped up into one. I quickly and easily fell in love with ALL the characters in this sleepy town of Sutter Lake....although, sleepy is a far cry from what I would call it. There was drama lurking around the corner, and for someone that doesn't typically enjoy romantic suspense, this one had me turning the pages! I couldn't put it down if I wanted to. It was set in/based on a small town in Oregon - and I live in a small town in Oregon as well, so that sure made it easy to envision the happenings and the whereabouts of everyone and everything happening. This one sure felt like 'home' to me. 

After falling in love with Sutter Lake's residents, I can't wait to see what Beautifully Broken Life brings. I am desperate for Liam's story and can't wait to read it!! Make sure you add this entire series to your TBR. It started out amazing and I am excited to see where it goes.

"You might not need anyone, Taylor, but maybe someone out there needs you. Just think about that."

BOOK REVIEW and GIVEAWAY for The Summer We Fell by Elizabeth O'Roark



He was my boyfriend's best friend—and the bane of my existence. I wanted to hate Luke Taylor. I did hate him. I just never hated him enough.

Now, a decade later, tragedy has brought us back to the place where it all happened—my best times, and my worst.

Our lives have changed, but that pull between us is just as strong as ever.

Only this time, it's more dangerous too.


REVIEW: 4 STARS
"Luke's the only person who can access all of me. He barely has to try."

I cannot begin to tell you how excited I was seeing that Elizabeth O'Roark was putting out a standalone!! I LOVED her Parallel Duet something fierce - even have it signed on my shelf, so I knew I needed to get in on this action! She was a surprise new-to-me author and I knew I needed to read her again. I missed out on touring her Devil Series, so of course I haven't slipped it into my kindle just yet - but rest assured, that will be devoured eventually. But, a standalone usually has me adjusting my schedule to fit them in from the get-go.

To be fair, when I started seeing the teasers for this one, and the direction I was "feeling" Luke was taking - I was 99% sure I was going to love him. I was wrong - because I 100% love him. He had a protective streak a mile long and it had exactly ZERO boundaries, and I loved that about him!!! He made this book for me. HE had me falling in love with him from the minute I met him.

"People talk about love like it's peaceful, but it isn't, at all. It's turbulent and anxious. It's euphoria and despair."

The pain Luke and Juliet went through! My gosh, the pain of fighting an attraction they knew wasn't a good idea to act on because of all the implications their love alone would have. The pain it would cause. A ripple effect throughout both their lives that would be magnanimous, given the circumstances they were operating under. THIS is the kind of story I live for. A love that you can't have. Can't touch. Can't feel out, because the damage it would cause felt like it would be too hard to get through. This story was also ripe with personal guilt. RIPE. There was always a reason. Always a rebuttal. Always a hinderance to finally seeing the rainbow on the other side. It was exhausting for my heart and mental self...and I loved it!

This type of love story is my crack. I need the despondence the characters are wading through - their need for something that's unattainable yet they need it to survive!! This had all the things I crave because I felt Juliet's drive to just see...just speak to, just hear his voice. It's what kept me keep turning the pages. That kind of nail-biting "would they, should they, could they" angst is my drug of choice and I willingly succumb to the need for more. Which, of course, is why I pick up these types of stories often. O'Roark definitely gifted me another book boyfriend with the strength of Luke's love and devotion.

I did struggle a bit with Juliet - but I honestly think it boils down to my strength at this age watching a girl at her age go through what she did and having the current knowledge to know that "this" wasn't the end of the world for her - even though I *knew* she had to live it to understand and appreciate it, but boy was it tough!! I wanted to tell her to take a bold step forward. I wanted to encourage her to go with her heart because her mind was already there. The need to shake her into letting loose and understanding her perceived ramifications were her own shackles to shake. I was her biggest cheerleader and her harshest critic. She was the strongest doormat I have ever read. Again - RIPE with guilt.

But honestly, my only real issue was the back and forth from past to present. Not that this type of storytelling doesn't work or have its place - because it does and it works often. It just didn't work for me in this circumstance. I was following along easily enough - it just took away from the forward progression I was feeling with each step forward, but I felt like I literally took 2 steps back by going into the past and it halted my mental forward motion. BUT, I loved their love story and I adored how hard Luke loved Juliet and stood by his word and morals. The very truest definition of a man, to me. He stood by his word no matter how elusive it seemed for Juliet to grasp...and that growth was a relief to read. The final submission was glorifying to witness and I smiled as they finally figured themselves out. Phew!!! Mental gymnastics, for sure!

MY FINAL THOUGHTS: I would honestly love to see some other books come from this story - standalones, but definitely interconnected since I don't think one would be able to tell some stories without giving away some of the tension and pain that was prevalent in this book. Elizabeth - please give me Libby's book. PLEASE. I know you will do her justice with a man worthy of her heart and soul.

BOOK REVIEW and GIVEAWAY for If This Is Love by Jewel E Ann


IF THIS IS LOVE

He's mine ... don't ever forget that.

Milo lives in the barn, a cowboy through and through.
I live in a castle, but I'm not a princess.

When the only person who loves me dies, Milo's there.
As I get older, I no longer look at Milo like a big brother. I look at him like the man God made just for me.

With the first glimpse of freedom from my pathetic excuse for a father, I imagine a future with Milo. I dream of the day when we won't have to hide our feelings.

But Milo has a secret. He is not free.
The man I love is marrying the woman I hate.



REVIEW: 5 STARS
"This need I have to protect her feels admirable until I realize the person I need to protect her from the most is...me."

Since JEA is my drop everything and read kind of author, it doesn't matter what I am doing - if she announces a book, I adjust my calendar, my chores, and my family schedule (okay, probably not to that extent 😂) to make sure she is going to get the full attention her books have proven to me they deserve. I know I sound crazy, but when you find that one author...your "unicorn" if you will, you know what you need to do to give their books your completely undivided attention, right? JEA is that one for me. Having said that repeatedly over the years, you know I am always going to give you my full and honest opinion on how each book was individually. 

This book made me fall in love, courted me....broke my heart, and slowly put me back together. That is the M.O. of JEA, is it not? But, I'll tell ya - it was the in-betweens that mattered. How did I fall in love with Milo and Indie? Slowly and effortlessly. I watched them dance around the forbidden and come together. I also watched them snap like a brittle twig with no due recourse. It was hard watching them hurt. It was hard growing and realizing...the understanding more difficult than the outcome. But, as JEA does, she put me back together. I won't say it's seamless because there are some jagged cracks in there, but she gave me this life lesson and story with heaviness and a smile. She gave me a love that fought against all odds and made me hold me breath. But above all else, she gave me a book hangover and it's been a while since I've had one of those. I wanted to bask in it!!

While this one made me feel slightly uncomfortable in the beginning - and I don't say that lightly, it set the stage for a very deep conversation within the pages of this book. The fact that she said this is super taboo completely proves to me, once again, she can write anything and get me through the story with a chokehold on my heart. We all have childhood crushes, right? I had one with an 18 year old when I was 12. Completely innocent, but a crush nonetheless. Well, Milo and Indie are seriously and truly the embodiment of age gap, taboo, and everything in between - one you love, but can't quite describe completely. I had very wide eyes while I was reading this because the innocence of Indie was put. into. words. and I was left gasping a few times. Again, I knew JEA was going to put me in a state of shock by the time this was all said and done - and she did just that. 

"If his lips touch mine, the last thread will snap. I know it. He knows it. Memories have never felt as tangible, concrete and alive as they do now."

The book hangover I had after this probably wasn't fair to every other author I had to read after because it held steady over my head and heavy over my heart. I loved that she had me angry for Indie, gritting my teeth for Milo - and pissed as hell about the evil held over their heads. And the thing was, it was actually something I can see happening once it was all explained and meshed out - in true JEA fashion. I hung on every word and pored over the pages with my emotions hanging on by a thread. I was mesmerized and completely breathless in some spots, while huffing and puffing from anger in others. But it was amazing. Beyond amazing. It was my favorite kind of journey and one I cannot recommend enough...but go in with an open mind and a strength in your heart. You may not know when you'll need to draw on it. She works her magic effortlessly and I for one am here anytime she's willing to serve it up.

I wish everyone wrote with the humor and the heaviness like Jewel E Ann does. She is so unique and one of a kind, and her voice just "hits" me in all the right ways. Hands down, she's a stop-everything-and-read author for me. I will end this review with this - I read my books to take the journey from start to finish. I take in ALL the happenings and reactions and I soak in them. Marinate. Ruminate. Whatever you want to call it. But, if an author makes me think about something, whether I like the outcome or not - it's a positive, because I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. I think that's one of my favorite things JEA does for me. She makes me think and I feel every facet of her story as it plays out. 

I couldn't get enough and I couldn't put the book down. I felt like I needed to pace but couldn't take my eyes off the pages! It seriously had me wrapped up and the anxiety was real! Milo and Indie definitely have my heart and will for a very long time coming...

"You're the sun...so fucking bright, blindingly beautiful."

BOOK REVIEW and GIVEAWAY for Never Saw You Coming by SL Scott


NEVER SAW YOU COMING
by SL SCOTT

- Loch -

I wish I could say it was love at first sight. But I can’t.

Snarky.
Impatient.
Demanding.

Everything about the woman standing next to me was complicated, from her designer clothes to her coffee order. I don’t do complicated unless it comes with a good time. And then it’s only for a night or two, max.

I was more than happy to leave the coffee shop, and her, behind, but neither of us saw what was coming...

- Tuesday -

I wish I could say I remember him. But I can’t.

Patient.
Generous.
Handsome.

The same stranger who saved me steps in again when I have nowhere to go and no memory of who I am. He’s broody and rigid, but I see a different side of this gorgeous man and start to realize I’m not the only one who needs saving.

Falling for him wasn’t in my plans, but as I search for answers to my past, I realize that I don’t worry about getting my memory back. My fear is losing my life twice.


REVIEW: 3 STARS
"I'm not fascinated by you because of who you were. I'm captivated by who you are."

I was ridiculously excited to jump in to this book after recently reading the first book in the series, Swear On My Life - which happens to be Lark and Harbor's book and it IS a standalone. We heard of Loch in that book, but he was a mystery as we didn't really get to "meet" him. After learning his schedule was all work and no play - he was basically a mystery going into this one. And who doesn't like to solve a sexy mystery?? So, it was an easy decision to jump right into this one. I grabbed SOML from Kindle Unlimited, so I was able to read it right before this one. You can find my review HERE. I knew jumping into this one that I wanted Loch’s story and background. I'm so glad I read it and I totally enjoyed it, but it definitely set the stage for what I’m getting into for the next book, because I *will* be reading that next book as well. She's proven to be an easy read for me, and one I will keep coming back to.

So lets get into it...

First and foremost: I AM THOROUGHLY CONVINCED she has the sexiest covers of her men - hands down. I'm not going to lie and say that didn't sway me towards her books, because it does - each and every time. But they are beyond gorgeous and the best visual for her men that she describes. I seriously love them and they are shelf-worthy. 

I'm glad to say I have met and fallen in love with Loch for the man he truly is. I love a strong man. I love a hardworking man. I do love the dynamic of a rich man taking care of his woman, and it's not necessary - but it sure helps in a storyline like this one. When an author can introduce a man to me that meets or exceeds my expectations, well - that's always a good start in my book. And Loch most definitely did that.

Tuesday was an enigma, given the circumstances and she came out of this wearing many different hats - so I like that this book so many different explorative turns because it gave me some eyebrow workouts, that's for sure. One minute they are scrunched on my forehead questioning things - wondering of the whys, the next they're soaring with excitement and adoration at how she goes about things. She was just a fun character to read. I loved the journey of her amnesia because I truly enjoyed falling in love with a pure heart – so reading this really worked in that aspect for me. It's been a while since I've actually read one and I remember loving that book as well. I loved Tuesday’s unencumbered, unfiltered, unabashed love for Loch. Loch was all the man she needed to understand what true love actually felt like. That was the sweetest part. 

"If I've learned anything from what we've been through, it's that we shouldn't wait to start our lives when we know how we feel. We must act in the moment, make the most of every day, and love to our fullest capacity."

What I didn’t like was the forced reasoning behind some of the actions to create conflict. That ruined about 20% of the storyline for me. I was very frustrated by the pretend anger — and I use that term truthfully — that caused the little spat these two had. I also don’t understand him allowing her to "do this on her own" and just leaving, not even knowing if she was safe. I don’t want to ruin any aspect of this story, so I have to word this carefully — but this just didn’t sound like Loch. In his truest and purest form, the depth of the love he has for her wouldn’t have/shouldn’t have allowed him to drive away like that. I understand the reason given, but it didn’t make sense after everything else he had done for her. It just didn’t “fit” knowing what we did of him. So I struggled a little with that. It was “out of character” for him based on how he was laid out for us leading up to that moment. However, he made that up tenfold when it was necessary. Because he is such a strong, confident and worthy man and Tuesday is very lucky to have him, as he is to have her. 

Back-and-forth in many different points I found myself struggling with the layout and the progression of the story, but it didn't stop me from wanting to finish it. Unfortunately, that resulted in it taking me too long to read it! I was in a conundrum - because, while I was enjoying it because it was interesting, it was just a little too easy for me to balance out the emotion I wanted to feel for the problem at hand. Again, I like ‘em angsty and breath-catching. This was genuinely good and I don’t want to take away from that aspect, but there was very little to no emotion I felt and I’m bummed about that. Easy? Yes. Good? Yes. This is someone’s five star read because it was a hallmark love story in book form. It was super sweet and insta-love in all the right ways - not the emotional, angsty read I was promised. It just didn’t capture my emotions as much as I was hoping it would, but it absolutely had my intrigue - and for that, I can easily recommend it for the light-hearted read it was.

Scott's shaping up to be, for me, a palate cleanser - certainly not in bad or disrespectful way. An easy read to break up the heavy ones I crave so very much. She has me invested in this family and I’m going to see it through to the very last book....and then some, I'm sure. She's very clearly a consistent read for me. She is not a hard hitting writer. Super simple, very easy to read - but it lacks a certain depth or emotion that would have it hitting me directly in my feels. Is that bad? Nope. Not at all...it's just what I look for in my books, but it's very definitely indicative of her style and how she tells stories. I'm realizing I'm blessed with a smile anytime I open one of her books. This book looks to be followed by Noah's story so I will definitely be reading that one as well. I can easily plan around her books being a good read for me to have the versatility to pick it up and put it down, but knowing I can easily catch back up when I pick it back up. (Say that five times fast!) It definitely has it's perks of being an easy, stable kind of read.
