Mobsters Girl-Amy Rachiele- 5 stars

Gripping my chest is the only way to hold myself together or what’s left of me will fall out. The past week has enlightened me on one thing-I don’t care.
Megan, Mobster’s Girl
I didn’t even hesitate. I took two strides and blasted him in the face with my fist. He was ready for it this time-unlike in church. He tried to hit me back but I ducked and smashed him again.
Antonio, Mobster’s Girl
You can’t help what family you’re born into or what lies they keep from you. You can’t help it if they mold and shape you just the way they wanted. Are monsters born or made?
Antonio and Megan have a timeless issue. They were told to stay away from each other. They try, they really do. But they are drawn to each other.
Antonio is eighteen and the up and coming mob boss of Palmetto, New Jersey. Megan is a girl uprooted from the grassy plains of Ireland at the age of five. Now she’s seventeen and faced with horrors she never thought existed.

-------------------------------------
Wow,What a very wonderful read.I was expecting to enjoy it..but totally and utterly fell in love with it.This story is about the somewhat forbidden romance between Megan and Antonio. Megan is a Irish girl in an Italian neighborhood and Antonio is the son of a mob boss.They are both attracted to each other and for a short while are able to date before Megan's Parent's do something unthinkable.Without giving to much of the ending away lets just say its left at a nail biting cliffhanger.
 I was blown away by just how easily I was able to immerse myself in this book.I wish it was longer and not a series as I really disliked that it ended.But that is a sign of a great book.It was a quick read for myself so I hope book 2 is slightly longer.I see great things coming from Amy Rachiele.I am anxiously awaiting ..throw in some nail biting as well for book 2 and hoping to see how Megan and Antonio's relationship plays out.

Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys-Kate Brian 4 stars

Now, seven years later, Megan's army doctor parents are shipping off to Korea and Megan is being sent to live with the little monsters, who are older now and quite different than she remembered them.
Living in a house with seven boys will give Megan, who has never even been kissed, the perfect opportunity to learn everything there is to know about boys. And she'll send all her notes to her best friend, Tracy, in...
Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys

Observation #1: Being an army brat sucks. Except that this is definitely a better alternative to moving to Korea. Observation #2: Forget evil, laughing, little monsters. These guys have been touched by the Abercrombie gods. They are a blur of toned, suntanned perfection.
Observation #3: I need a lock on my door. STAT.
Observation #4: Three words: six-pack abs.
Observation #5: Do not even get me started on the state of the bathroom. I'm thinking of calling in a hazmat team. Seriously.
Observation #6: These boys know how to make enemies. Big time.
Megan Meade will have to juggle a new school, a new family, a new crush -- on the boy next door, as in next bedroom door -- and a new life. Will she survive the McGowan boys?

----------------------------------------
 Megan's parents are in the military and are moving to South Korea.Megan is tired of moving and wants to stay in the states.In order for her to stay she has to stay with the McGowen Boys..who have drastically changed from in the years since she last saw them.
First off let me pre-face this and say I expected more from this book.I liked it and it drew me in,kept my attention in the book.However the lack of romance in the book was a big disappointment.You have a really good book and then you have one measly chapter of a small romance and then You have no idea whats going on with that relationship since the book never takes you there or goes over it.Just brushes over it.I thoroughly enjoyed this book except for the ending.I feel the ending could have closed things up a bit more..Unless there is going to be a sequel.Perhaps that's why it was left the way it was.This book is a fun read that is worth taking the time to read.

Forever Changed-Tiffany King- 4 stars

Her entire world is shaken to the core when a fatal accident takes her father, causing Kassandra to re-examine the course her life was on. The actions of one individual forever changes her life, leaving her to pick up the pieces of her broken family. Kassandra begins to question everything she once cherished and the people she disappointed along the way.

Maddon Johnson’s life is as different from Kassandra’s as night and day. Abandoned by his mother at a young age, he is left to deal with his abusive, alcoholic father on his own. He has one goal, lay low and get the heck out of dodge as soon as he is legally old enough.

Everything changes when his father’s tragic actions send Maddon crashing into Kassandra’s world. Suddenly, getting away is the last thing he wants as he discovers it is possible to believe in love after all.
--------------------------------------------------
 Possible Spoilers
    This is not the first book I've read by Tiffany King so Im familiar with her work.I enjoyed this story.Kassandra's father was killed by a drunk driver with road rage,Maddon is her fathers killer's son.They both go to the same high school and eventually get to know each other.In the beginning of the book I was a upset at how Kassandra's mother reacted to her husbands death and let Kassandra deal with it all.That was so unfair to Kassandra.When Kassandra and Madden start hanging out she is so conflicted,I cannot even begin to imagine how I would be feeling or how my emotions were in that sitation.Kassandra was mature about it and on only one occassion did I get slightly upset with her.
    The only bone I have to pick with this book is that I feel the ending and conflict were too abrupt.The conflict and ending were summed up in a few chapters.I would have loved and I mean loved to have had a few extra chapters for Kassandra and Madden to Iron out everything and just see what happens after the ending.Im so trying not to be confusing,But I just felt the book was ended a bit to abruptly for the type of book it is.Overall I enjoyed this and would recommend reading it.

----------------

This is the 2nd book in the Timber Wolves Series.Change is the primary happening in this book.I want to say I see a bit of New Moon from the Twilight series in it,In the Way Scout Grieves. Time Mends like Destiny Binds had me attached at the hip to this story.I was so glad to see that all the characters were back and not to many new ones were added until later on in the story.Without giving to much away,Scout really grows up and shows her strength when the odds are stacked against her.I am in utter throw the kindle across the room phase as the book came to an end.Im very eagerly awaiting Book 3 Fate Succumbs,I must know the fate of certain characters and the future of others.Job Well Done.Brava Tammy Blackwell.You did it again.I could truly see this becoming a movie.

Willow-Julia Hoban

Seven months ago, on a rainy March night, sixteen-year- old Willows parents drank too much wine and asked her to drive them home. They never made it Willow lost control of the car and her parents died in the accident. Now she has left behind her old home, friends, and school, and blocks the pain by secretly cutting herself. But when Willow meets Guy, a boy as sensitive and complicated as she is, she begins an intense, life-changing relationship that turns her world upside down.
Told in an arresting, fresh voice, Willow is an unforgettable novel about one girls struggle to cope with tragedy, and one boys refusal to give up on her.

-------------------
  Let me start by saying this is a very tough topic to write about.It is not an easy subject matter. Willow is a 16 year old girl whose parents died in a car crash and Willow was the driver.The guilt of it is so overwhelming that Willow Copes by Cutting herself.Guy and Willow meet and He becomes the person she somewhat confides in.He is against her cutting and is very good for Willow.
   I enjoyed this story,I really did not like it in the third person though.Ive never been a fan of it though.I would have rather known how Willow was feeling and what she was thinking.I just dont like the whole..she said this she said that.blah blah blah.It took me a small bit to get over it but I was still able to enjoy the story.I kept wondering why no therapists were brought in by Willows brother and wife.Honestly after something tragic happens you need them so you can start to grieve and move forward.
Overall, a really touching read.I think a few things could have been added to it to make it a bit better but again it was a good read that I would willingly read again.Cutting is a serious issue not to be taken lightly.If you are having problems please talk to someone.Anyone.

Blue Sky Days-Marie Landry

A year after graduating from high school, nineteen-year-old Emma Ward feels lost. She has spent most of her life trying to please her frigid, miserable mother - studying hard, getting good grades, avoiding the whole teenage rebellion thing - and now she feels she has no identity beyond that. Because she spent so many years working hard and planning every moment of her life, she doesn't have any friends, has never had a boyfriend, and basically doesn't know who she is or what she really wants from life. Working two part-time jobs to save money for college hasn't helped her make decisions about her future, so she decides it's time for a change. She leaves home to live with her free-spirited, slightly eccentric Aunt Daisy in a small town that makes Emma feel like she's stepped back in time.

When Emma meets Nicholas Shaw, everything changes - he's unlike anyone she's ever met before, the kind of man she didn't even know existed in the 21st century. Carefree and spirited like Daisy, Nicholas teaches Emma to appreciate life, the beauty around her, and to just let go and live. Between Daisy and Nicholas, Emma feels like she belongs somewhere for the first time in her life, and realizes that you don't always need a plan - sometimes life steers you where you're meant to be.

Life is wonderful, an endless string of blue sky days, until Nicholas is diagnosed with cancer, and life changes once again for Emma in ways she never thought possible. Now it's time for her to help Nicholas the way he's helped her. Emma will have to use her new-found strength, and discover along the way if love really is enough to get you through.

---------------------

   What a wonderful story about finding love and finding yourself.Emma Ward has no idea what she wants to do with her life so she decides to visit her Aunt Daisy.While There she meets Nicholas who she falls in love with.However,They have more trials then the normal couple.
   I could not put the kindle down!I was enthralled in the lives of Emma and Nicholas.The love they have for each other is hard to find and they found it.It was refreshing to have a book jump out and grab me as this one did.I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Blue Sky Days. I look forward to reading more by Marie Landry.Highly suggest this book.Have tissues handy!
