FALLING AWAY FINALLY

Finally after all this time we finally got it. Falling Away finally came out, and even though I read this a long time ago (2 weeks) I still have it in my mind every day.

This blog post is way overdue, but its because I've been putting this aside for a long time. I was supposed to publish this last Friday, but end up posting it today because I finally got the effort. I feel ashamed. But I will keep up with all of them from now on :)

Falling Away took my breath away. I was expecting it to be good obviously but I never expected it to be that good. I loved the chemistry between Jaxon and K.C, and the backstory behind her was beautiful. I never expected to end up loving K.C, since I hated her in Bully. I loved her and I loved how much Jaxon wanted her since the beginning and I enjoyed how the point of view changed every time.

Penelope delivered a romance worth talking about. She delivered a steamy romance that contained angst, sex, pleasure and happiness (at the end).

"Baby." I shook my head, gazing down into those lovely eyes as she moved up and down my cock, her pussy grinding against me. "Nobody's ever been sweeter than you. You're fucking perfect" -Jaxon  Falling Away
You can easily tell from this snippet that this book is hot as hell. And it is. There are so many good parts in this book that will leave you shaken and wanting more. I wouldn't mind my own personal Jaxon. He's funny, and nice, and sexy and amazing and, and, and, and everything. He's everything a girl can dream of. He has loved her since he was 18 long before they both thought the same thing :) ONE DIRECTION AF

Sorry, I'm getting off track. But honestly, I'm not kidding. This book is worth reading, and if you haven't read the others, I recommend for you to read them first because its so worth it. Penelope Douglas is amazing and I love her so much. The stories she shares always leave me so sad but so happy at the same time. Maybe one day I can meet her and tell her how happy her books make me ;)

 

This is all I'm going to say because I want you to experience it all on you're own *sneaky smile*

Then there's the sneak peak for aflame that had me in tears. I'm a little scared to read that.

I love books and I hope you do too *kiss*

Best. Ending. Ever :3

On Saturday night, I was struggling to finish Nowhere but Here by Renee Carlino. That was supposed to be my next review, actually because I've had it for a long time and I needed to finish it but the writing wasn't my style, I guess. So that night I picked up Sweet Reckoning because that one came out last year if I'm not wrong, and I've had it for so long, I needed to finish it. I NEEDED to.
And it really was. I was so amazed with this book. I finished it in 4 hours, because it was that good. I was satisfied with the ending, I was amazed by the writing, the characters were fabulous. Everything was so fantastic. The ending was just so amazing, and amazing its the only adjective I can come up with to describe this book. If you haven't read Sweet Evil trilogy, you need to.
This story will leave you breathless, not even wanting more because the ending was just perfect. Kaidan and Anna have a wonderful romance, full of love and struggle. Then the ending left me in tears. It's an ending you don't want to miss. So again if you haven't read this series..... YOU. NEED. TO. Its an outstanding series you don't want to miss.

The story gives you a lot of factors that were missing in book 1 and 2. This book is so intense and in my opinion, way better than any of the others in the series. In this book, every single one of my ships got together.
Kaidan and Anna were together, and even the twins got what they wanted so that made me happy...... Kind of. I mean, the fact that Marta got pregnant and died was awful, but I was happy for Jay since he got a daughter.

Some scenes in the book were too much for me though. Like the one where Kaidan arrives to Anna's house with the whisperer and starts having "sex" with her. Not really but he was making the whisperer think that they were, which scared me because at one point I thought he was going to do It, but it was all good. It broke my heart, to see Anna like that, afraid of Kaidan and how Kaidan said "you know I would have stopped right?" It made me so sad. Then again, Kaidan is a really good actor. Must be years and years of being loyal to his father and knowing how to act, I guess.

The thing I loved most about the books were that no one important died (besides Martha) and that made me so happy. Patti died and honestly I saw that coming but was still really upset. I was really happy the dukes left earth and were out of the way finally.

Okay now lets talk about the ending.

THE

FUCKING

ENDING

The ending of this series was, in my opinion, the most perfect thing ever. Kaidan and Anna end up adopting a baby and there's this little girl who comes up to Kaidan and CALLS HIM PAPA. Kaidan tells her "Why are you calling me papa if I'm your friend?" and the little girl goes "because in my dream, you were my father"

cue to the fucking tears
...... and the fact that Kaidan started crying in that moment didn't really help. I was a mess at 4:30 in the morning.

This series will always be with me. Its very special to me and I just want to hug it and never let it go. I was sad that the series ended, but its not over yet! This 2015 you can get Sweet Temptation, Kaidan's POV :))))))))))))))))))))

 
2015 RIP YAZMIN
 


Belle is me, lets be honest.

I LOVE BOOKS AND I HOPE YOU DO TOO

Reasons I'm frustraded & More >.<

3 Days ago I finished the book I probably should have finished sooner than in 2015. As I told you before, I recently had been on a book bump or whatever, where I couldn't focus on any book, and it sucked because 2014 was ending and I needed to complete my Goodreads goal, so I kind of forced myself to finish the book. But I did complete my challenge and that was my 2014 resolution :)

On January 3rd, 2015 I finally picked up Stone Cold Touch by Jennifer L. Armentrout and the book totally frustrated the scream out of me. This isn't an exaggeration trust me. At one point I actually did screamed because of Zayne and reasons. Reasons you are not going to know if you haven't read this book. The only thing I'm going to say is that if Roth and Layla don't end up together..... 



I'm joking LOL I love my JLA...... but i will be very upset. If you have read the book you know that Roth does a revelation at the end that probably changed the whole course of the story. One that makes it obvious that Roth is the one who should be with Layla. It's going to be very anticlimactic if they don't end up together. Anyway, I'm going to start the review before I start ranting about Roth & Layla :*

I will leave the links for you to buy the books down below if you haven't read this series: White Hot Kiss & Stone Cold Touch

Falling Away in 3 Days

3 DAYS FOR FALLING AWAY!!!!!!

ARE WE READY? ARE WE PREPARED FOR JAXON? ARE WE PREPARED FOR MORE PAIN? T_T MAYBE WE ARENT BUT OH GOD THIS IS SO EXCITING ISNT IT????

SO CLOSE...... BUT SO FAR AWAY.......


I need this book so badly. I loved Jaxon in the last book, when he was introduced and he was just bae. He helped so much and he's hot as hell. Falling away will introduce us more of Jaxon and we will see him in and K.C bond. We remember K.C as the girl everyone hated but then in Until You we understood that she was actually not into Jared. It looks like she made quite a few mistakes in this particular book. *curious*
Today I brought you a present. Well, It's more Penelope's than mine. I'm just the messenger, but I love showing this to you!

This is so exciting because me actually got the complete chapter five and I just read it and I can't deal. I need this book more than anything. I'm pretty sure its going to destroy me, but I need to mentally prepare myself. Ill give you a peek into it ;)
"He rubbed his forearm and narrowed his eyes briefly before relaxing. “If you could get a tattoo, what would it be?”
I blinked, shocked by his question. “Um.” I laughed softly, thinking. “I thought about a set of angel wings, I guess. With one of the wings broken,” I admitted.
“It has something to do with your past?”
I nodded. “Yes.”
“And it’s something you want to remember?” he pressed.
“Yes.”
“That’s why I don’t have any tattoos,” he concluded. “People get tattoos for all kinds of reasons, but they’re always badges of what has made them who they are. I don’t care to remember what and who made me this way. The people that gave me life. The people that brought me up . . .” He shook his head, defiant. “The places I’ve seen or anything I’ve done. It’s all in my head, anyway. I don’t want it on my body, too. I don’t care about anything that much.”
About the Book


  Jaxon is the guy she’s supposed to avoid. K.C. is the girl he won’t let get away....

K. C. Carter has always followed the rules—until this year, when a mistake leaves her the talk of her college campus and her carefully arranged life comes crashing to a halt. Now she’s stuck in her small hometown for the summer to complete her court-ordered community service, and to make matters worse, trouble is living right next door.
Jaxon Trent is the worst kind of temptation and exactly what K.C. was supposed to stay away from in high school. But he never forgot her. She was the one girl who wouldn’t give him the time of day and the only one to ever say no. Fate has brought K.C. back into his life—except what he thought was a great twist of luck turns out to be too close for comfort. As they grow closer, he discovers that convincing K.C. to get out from her mother’s shadow is hard, but revealing the darkest parts of his soul is nearly impossible.

Kiro's Emily by Abbi Glines *One More Chance spoilers*

Kiro's Emily is this one story that just sticks with you. I read read this yesterday and I just couldn't. Stop. Crying. As you know...... Or you may not know, Emily is Harlows mother. In One More Chance we are introduced to Kiro as a father and at the end we find out that Harlow's mother is not dead, but is paralyzed from an accident that had happened when Harlow was a baby. This story, however, is about more than that. Kiro's Emily tells the story of how Kiro and Emily first met to the accident, and all the events that happened in between. The whole story is such a heartbreaking story, because Abbi Glines has a talent of making us feel what the characters are feeling. So the ending completely distroyed me. I wont give any good moments away. I will say that if you read the Rosemary series, this story is one that you won't want to miss. This story makes you, in a way, understand just how much Kiro loved Emily. In One More Chance we get a pretty good idea of how much he does but reading from his POV and feeling what he felt the moment he got that phone call? I won't forget that moment. Kiro and Emily weren't just in love. They were soulmates. They were the perfect couple and for them to have such cruel fate? I just think its really unfair. 

I love books and I hope you do too!

TOP 10 BOOK FAVORITES OF 2014! CONGRATULATIONS!

This will be my top 10 of the series that made my 2014. This are series that I still remember and therefore made an impression on me. This are series that I recommend totally and without a doubt to anyone. What are yours? *Sneaky Smile*

Number 1....... The Addicted series by Krista and Becca Ritchie

We all saw this coming. In my lifetime I've yet to read a contemporary that is this magnificent. This series legit changed me. I've never read such amazing writing, and never cried harder than with Krista and Becca. I hope they write for a long time because I am always going to read whatever they write. You won a fan this year!

Number 2....... Kingdom Series by Marie Hall

This series made me so happy. It brought back in a way all the memories I had as a child. I loved the fairy tale twist and the way it's such a quick but amazing read. I gave each book in this series 5 stars and I finished all of it in a day. And even though there's a lot of books, it doesn't feel like a lot. It feels like you're going through a never ending story that you never want it to end. I would definitely recccomend this to anyone. Amazing job!

Number 3......... Just one day by Gale Forman

This book....... It certainly left an impresion on me. The story was going so so good and the plot was just amazing. I loved the dynamic between this characters. But I don't get the ending. That was my problem with this story. And even though I wouldn't necessarily recommend this to anyone, it's one of my favorites this year because it opened my eyes to good writing and to an amazing story. 

Number 4....... Temptation series by Ella Frank 

THIS SERIES WAS SO AMAZING I SWEAR. The series is not over yet but so far this series left a mark on me that will never go away. In the summer of 2014 I was in a book hump, and desperately needed a salvation. So when I found this book, I was hesitant, since M/M smut was never my thing...... Well I was wrong. Turns out M/M is so my thing. I loved it, and it was even better than a contemporary that you would normally read. The sex was so steamy I had to pause sometimes to catch my breath. The angst left you drowning in you're own tears. And Tate and Logan did everything in their power to make sure I wanted to be with them even tho it will never happen. I gave this books a 55555555555% because of delirious endings.

Number 5......... The Dark Elements by Jennifer L Armenstraut

As you may know, I'm a super duper JLA fan. I love all her writing and always welcome more. So when I found out White Hot Kiss was coming out this year, I completely freaked. I preordered it and started coping because this would be the main series now that Lux is over. And it reached my expectations. It was amazing and the romance was never a moment disappointing. JLA writting makes me happy, and this series and the characters certainly did. Loved it!

Number 6....... Opposition by Jennifer L Armenstraut 

I was so sad when this book came out because it's the last book in the lux series. I started this series back in 2013and when Origin came out I reread the first 3. Then thus one came out and I sobbed. Why? Because it meant my favorite series in the whole wide world would never get another book. I will never be able to go to the bookstore in search of that precious Lux book. And I cry because of that. But the book was perfection. It was beyond anything I imagined. I thought it would be good, but it hooked me until the very last page. I couldn't put it down. There were Avengers references, for Christ sake! Harry Potter references! How in the world do you want me to not put it down. But when I finished it I just........ I don't want to talk about it. A 100000 stars!!!!

Number 7........ Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa

I read this back when I was in Europe, cause I bought them a little before my trip so I wouldn't be bored. I had never heard of this books, but I had heard of Julie Kagawa so that gave me a little hope....... I devoured the books in 3 weeks. I couldn't put it down. I think it drove my mother crazy because I was reading half the time we were there and wasn't paying attention to anything. How could I tho? If I had this amazing book in my hands! I loved Ash and Puck and Meghan was so badass and the whole bromance between Ash and Puck will never die in my memory. It's a journey to remember.

Number 8....... Monsters in the Dark series by Pepper Winters

This was probably the darkest contemporary books I have ever read. I cried a little in some parts, but it was amazing. It blew me away how amazing this girl who was kidnapped and dragged away from everything she has ever known become such an amazing badass woman. Then again after everything she lived, who wouldn't? But her? She was beyond amazing. I have so much respect for her because people may say that she's weak because of what he enjoys and how she lets him do that to her, but I think she's the strongest character I have ever read in a contemporary romance. 

Number 9...... More Series by Jay McLean

I cried since th first book. I'm not even kidding. This series was just tears and fluffiness and tears and angst. The first and last book blew me away. I stayed up all night finishing each book because of how amazing they were. I don't get why I didn't read it earlier. The way the characters tell the stories and the last book oh man the last book was tears tears tears and happiness. I couldn't stop crying and laughing. This is definitely my best experience in a romance series. Almost as good as the Addicted series 

Number 10....... Amour Amour by Krista and Becca Ritchie

This book.... Oh man this book blew me away. I feel like I'm saying that to all this 10 books but it's the truth! Krista and Becca will never disappoint me! Ever! The story and the romance and the sex and the couples just the whole thing is amazing! I did a review on Amour Amour last month and an interview and I was so excited for this book it made me want to cry when I finished it! Krista and Becca are my faves and will always be xxo

Well there you have it! My top 10 series/ books of 2014! I hope next year I get as many good books as this year! 

Also I completed my Goodreads Challange of 120 books to 122! Princess or what?

I love books and I hope you do too!
