Gossip girl meets Hollywood in this new series by That Boy author, Jillian Dodd. Keatyn has everything she ever dreamed of. Her life is following the script she wrote for the perfect high school experience. She’s popular, goes to the best parties, dates the hottest guy, and sits at the most coveted lunch table. She’s just not sure she wants it anymore. Because really, things aren’t all that perfect. Her best friend is threatening to tell everyone her perfect relationship is a scam. Her perfect boyfriend gets drunk at every party they go to. It’s exhausting always trying to look and act perfect. And deep down, she isn’t sure if she has any true friends. To add to the drama, her movie star mom’s long-time fan has turned stalker. An older man is flirting with her and telling her they should make a movie together. And she’s crushing on an adorable surfer. Dating a guy like him would mean committing social suicide. So she writes a new script. One where all the pieces of her life will come together in perfect harmony. But little does she know, there’s someone who will do anything to make sure that doesn’t happen.

                                                                                                                                                            KISS ME - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16073993-kiss-me
I've always written scripts for my perfect life. But no way could I have ever scripted this. My life is so far from perfect, it’s not even funny.
All because of a stalker. I’m at a boarding school where I have to lie about who I am. I can’t see my family. I’m tutoring a Hottie God that tortures me with his smile. The most popular girl already hates me. But there’s this boy. This hot, sweet, sexy boy. So I’m going to stop trying to script my life and just live it. Because who knows how long I have left.
                                       

THAT BOY - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11382346-that-boy

That Boy is a contemporary romance about falling in love with the boys next door. You know, being friends with two cute boys does have its benefits. There's Danny. Danny is a golden boy in every way. He has dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair that always looks perfect, even when it’s windblown or been stuck under a football helmet. He’s the boy every girl crushes on. The boy I get into trouble with, the boy I fight with, the hot quarterback no girl can resist, not even me. Being with Danny is like being on an adventure. He has a bright, contagious smile and abs to die for. He’s pretty much irresistible. Equally crush worthy is Phillip. Adorable, sweet Phillip, who I have known since birth. Phillip has dark hair, a perfect smile, brown eyes, and the sexiest voice I have ever heard. He’s the boy I talk to every night before I go to sleep. The boy who rescues me, the boy who can read my mind, the boy who is always there for me, the boy who tries to keep me out of trouble, the boy who irritatingly keeps getting hotter, and whose strong arms always seem to find their way around me. And when he gives me that grin, I can never say no. One boy will give me my very first kiss. One boy will teach me to make out. One boy will take me to prom. And finally, one boy will ask me to marry him. They will both be my best friends. But only one of them will be the boy I fall in love with. Only one of them is That Boy.

THAT WEDDING - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13361570-that-wedding
The gorgeous engagement ring on my finger mimics my happiness. I feel so sparkly, glittery, and full of promise, because I absolutely know he's that boy. The boy I want to marry. My prince. My happily ever after. But then our pastor starts asking lots of questions. His parents say I haven’t dealt with my past. I have horrible wedding disaster dreams. I can’t find the perfect dress. I have to manipulate him to get my way. An old boyfriend asks me to run away with him. My best friend says I'm going to ruin everything. And forever starts to sound like a really long time. Which totally freaks me out and makes me question everything I know. Should best friends get married? Will my past affect our relationship? Are my horrible dreams a warning? Will I ever find a dress? Could his sexiness be clouding my judgment? Am I going to ruin everything? Or is it just a case of cold feet? And then I have to decide. Am I willing to give up on true love forever, or am I going to listen to my heart and marry him?

Forever My Girl by Heidi McLaughlin

 I was never supposed to be a rock star. I had my life all planned out for me. Play football in college. Go to the NFL. Marry my high school sweetheart and live happily ever after.

I broke both our hearts that day when I told her I was leaving. I was young. I made the right decision for me, but the wrong decision for us. I’ve poured my soul into my music, but I’ve never forgotten her. Her smell, her smile.

And now I’m going back.

After ten years.

I hope I can explain that after all this time.

I still want her to be my forever girl.

REVIEW
5 STARS

    So this is going to be totally unprofessional..but OH MY GOSH.I am so in L-O-V-E with Forever My Girl by Heidi Mclaughlin.Like shout to the rooftops in love.Forever My girl is a story about love,mistakes and redemption.It is the story of Josie and Liam.Liam left Josie 10 years ago to become a huge music star.Only he felt he had to leave Josie in order to do this.A sad something occurs that brings Liam back to town and straight into Josie's life again.I prefer not to post spoilers in my reviews when I dont have to so Im stopping with that.The story Goes back and forth between Josie and Liam's point of view and I love that..Oftentimes we aren't clued into what the guy is thinking.I'm also glad that the bad person in the book got her comeuppance and that there wasn't as much drama as there could have been.Because quite frankly sometimes all the drama that happens in books is so unnecessary.
   This is a must read book..Seriously a MUST READ.I LOVE getting excited about books when there are books to be excited about..and guess what?There will be a book 2(unnamed as of yet) in the series.Holy smokes.Heidi Mclaughlin wrote a winner and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did.

Top Ten Uses for an Unworn Prom Dress By Tina Ferraro

Sophomore year, Nicolette Antonovich was dumped two days before prom by the hottest guy at school. As a result, she became the proud owner of one unworn, perfectly magical pink vintage dress. But Nic is determined to put that night behind her for good. She's a junior now— older, wiser, and completely overwhelmed by a new set of problems: (1) The bank's ready to foreclose on her childhood home. (2) Her father's too busy with his "replacement" daughter to care. (3) Her best friend's brother is an eternal thorn in her side. (4) Her best friend isn't exactly the rose attached to that thorn. (5) Rumors are flying around school that could get her kicked off the volleyball team, which would (6) ruin all chances of a college scholarship. (7) She still likes the boy who dumped her in the first place. (8) And what in the world do you do with an unworn prom dress, anyway? Strangely, it's getting to the bottom of this last dilemma that just might hold the answer to all Nic's problems.

REVIEW
5 stars
   I was given a Copy of Top Ten Uses for an Unworn Prom Dress for a Honest Review
   Nicolette is dumped...2 days prior to prom.Who does that..Well Rascal Pasqual apparently.All Nicolette can think of is THAT dress.She even has a list of what can be done with it.While you might be thinking is this just about a silly girl not getting to wear her prom dress its so much more then that.Nicolette has quite a bit on her plate..Her moms job is struggling,Rumors are flying around,Her friend is acting weird and whats even weirder..two guys are coming to blows..over her.
  I thought this was a super cute read.I couldnt go to bed until I had finished it.I loved that Nicolette wanted to help her mom so much and felt so bad when things failed to go right for her.But you have to give her credit for trying.I really really liked Jared..He was an uber cutie pie and perfect for Nicolette.This was an amazingly great read..Ultra Clean as well so no worries if the younger crowd reads it either.In fact I think it would be a great for a younger teen to read as well as the older teen and even adult.Check it out and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

*Cover Reveal*Unbeautifully By Madeline Sheehan

                    UNBEAUTIFULLY - Danny & Ripper’s Story.

The first time I fell in love it was with a pair of blue eyes and a wide dimpled grin.

“Your old man loves ya, Danny girl,” He whispered. “You never ever forget that, yeah?”

I never did. And I never thought I could ever love any man as much as I loved my father. But as we grow, we change, we begin to make our own decisions and thus become independent and self sufficient and start turning away from our parents and turning to others. We form friendships, strong bonds and ties and begin experiencing life outside of the bubble we grew up inside of. 

And we fall in love…a second time.

The second time I fell in love it was with a badly scarred face, the stuff of nightmares; the sort of disfigurement that mothers steer their children away from. Ugly, jagged slashes marred the skin from the top of his skull, down over his right eye, an eye that had been dug out of his face with a serrated blade. The scars continued across his cheek, over his lips and down his neck, ending at the top of his shoulder. His chest was a hundred times worse; scar tissue as far as the eye could see.

“Baby,” He said gruffly, “Man like me got no business with a girl like you. You’re nothin’ but fuckin’ beauty and I’m a whole lot of fuckin’ ugly who’s already halfway to hell.”

But he was wrong.

Everything has beauty. Even the ugly. Especially the ugly.

Because without ugly there would be no beauty.

Because without beauty we would not survive our pain, our sorrow, and our suffering. 

And in the world I lived in, the world he lived in, a secret world within the world, a world of of constant crime and cruel, cold, death, there was almost nothing but suffering.

“You may not be beautiful the way you were before,” I whispered, placing my hand on his hard chest. “But you’re still beautiful. To me.

The Trouble With Flirting By Claire LaZebnik(Release Date Feb 2013)

                                                           
I have had the amazing opportunity to read the ARC of this book.It is AMAZING.I Cannot say enough great things about it.I cannot wait for everyone to read it!
Release Date: February 26, 2013

Franny's supposed to be working this summer, not flirting. But you can't blame her when guys like Alex and Harry are around. . . .

Franny Pearson never dreamed she'd be attending the prestigious Mansfield Summer Theater Program. And she's not, exactly. She's working for her aunt, the resident costume designer. But sewing her fingers to the bone does give her an opportunity to spend time with her crush, Alex Braverman. If only he were as taken with the girl hemming his trousers as he is with his new leading lady.

When Harry Cartwright, a notorious flirt, shows more than a friendly interest in Franny, she figures it can't hurt to have a little fun. But as their breezy romance grows more complicated, can Franny keep pretending that Harry is just a carefree fling? And why is Alex suddenly giving her those deep, meaningful looks? In this charming tale of mixed messages and romantic near-misses, one thing is clear: Flirting might be more trouble than Franny ever expected.

Ten Tiny Breaths By K.A Tucker

Kacey Cleary’s whole life imploded four years ago in a drunk-driving accident. Now she’s working hard to bury the pieces left behind—all but one. Her little sister, Livie. Kacey can swallow the constant disapproval from her born-again aunt Darla over her self-destructive lifestyle; she can stop herself from going kick-boxer crazy on Uncle Raymond when he loses the girls’ college funds at a blackjack table. She just needs to keep it together until Livie is no longer a minor, and then they can get the hell out of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
But when Uncle Raymond slides into bed next to Livie one night, Kacey decides it’s time to run. Armed with two bus tickets and dreams of living near the coast, Kacey and Livie start their new lives in a Miami apartment complex, complete with a grumpy landlord, a pervert upstairs, and a neighbor with a stage name perfectly matched to her chosen “profession.” But Kacey’s not worried. She can handle all of them. What she can’t handle is Trent Emerson in apartment 1D.
Kacey doesn’t want to feel. She doesn’t. It’s safer that way. For everyone. But sexy Trent finds a way into her numb heart, reigniting her ability to love again. She starts to believe that maybe she can leave the past where it belongs and start over. Maybe she’s not beyond repair.
But Kacey isn’t the only one who’s broken. Seemingly perfect Trent has an unforgiveable past of his own; one that, when discovered, will shatter Kacey’s newly constructed life and send her back into suffocating darkness.

Throw Away Teen By Shannon Kennedy

She’s disposable...and she knows it.

A survivor of too many foster homes, B.J. Larson is content living at the youth center where your status is determined by how long your arrest record is. And hers is lengthy. Then she’s placed in a home in the small town of Stewart Falls, Washington—with foster parents who will “love” her, not just the money the state pays for her care.

Yeah, right!

B.J.’s not stone stupid. She knows a scam when she sees one. Kids like her never get “real homes,” much less “real families.” She learned a long time ago that adults can’t be trusted. Besides, B.J.’s too smart to take chances. And isn’t love the biggest risk of all?
---------------------

 5 STARS

   This is the story of B.J Larson who is a ward of the state and who is possibly being adopted by Liz and Tom.B.J hasnt had affection,she has acted out to get out of bad foster homes.She has been beaten down.B.J doesnt know what it is to be loved and to love herself.In this story you will watch as B.J overcomes her fears,finds love and the best of all..learns to love herself.
   First of Wow.What an emotional story.What an amazing Debut by Shannon Kennedy.If all of her future releases are this amazing..well she is going places.The best part of the story is I felt B.J's emotions..her turmoil.When an author is able to make you feel so strongly about something,I say thats a sign of an great author.Liz and Tom..they are what I would hope all soon to be adopt/foster parents would be.If that was the case the world would be such a better place.There was one person in the story I couldn't stand.. however I will let the reader figure that one out and not spoil it.

* Love and Skate By Lila Felix Blog Tour *

                                                               LOVE AND SKATE

 On the rink she’s tough, she’s a leader, she’s fast and she’s the epitome of a rebellious girl. But Nellie’s been hurt, only once, but it was enough to make her look at life through different eyes and off the rink she’s a timid girl who loves with no pretenses.
A long time ago Owen Black was betrayed by the girl he thought he loved and the guy he called his best friend. The anguish set off a domino effect of negativity in his life and he never has fully recovered. He meets Nellie Forrester and thinks he can let it go for her.
But how can you love someone when the wounds from your past are still wide open?

                                                         LOVE AND SKATE EXCERPT
Owen spoke up first. “Nellie these girls, have you seen them? Two of them were fighting each other during warm ups and they’re on the same team.  Please, please be careful.”

            Amber and Dylan were having their own conversation and Owen began to whisper to me.

            “What’s the protocol here?  Can I kiss you in front of your team or does that make you look like a wuss?  ‘Cause you look hot as hell in those little black shorts.”

            “If you kissed me right now, I would almost guarantee that the whole room would be jealous of me.  Single, married and otherwise they would all get a taste of the green monster.”

            “Hmmm…”

  Ive said it before and I'll say it again.Lila Felix has talent!Reading her books is so enjoyable..they flow so smoothly.I love Nellie..I love her many many hair colors and that she is tough enough to play Roller Derby and yet sweet enough to still be super feminine Owen..Well Owen like all of Lila's male characters is just AHMAZING.Im repeating myself with another review I've written about Lila's book but I'll go ahead and say it.I love that Lilas characters find each other somewhat early in the book.I adore watching their relationship develop.I have yet to read a book by Lila that I don't enjoy and I've read everything she's published.Keep on writing Lila.You have written yet another winner and I look forward to your next story.

If I were to pick a song for Nellie and Owen it would be this song :)

What would you risk for love?

-----------------
Review 4 stars-Possible Spoilers..so reader beware

   When you first start this story your in Fallons nightmare/dream.Then Her and her mother have to leave the area and get into the car and go.This is the norm for Fallon always on the move so her mom can get a job and Fallon will be put into school.On the way though bad things happen and Fallon finds out that Isaiah is the only one that can help her.He protects her as best he can.Isaiah was made to protect Fallon..as  Fallon was made to protect Isaiah.
   I enjoyed this book..I did feel at times it was a bit to fast and I wish it had slowed down just a tad.It was like go go go and I wanted it to slow down a small bit so I could better connect with the Fallon and Isaiah better.I also wish there was a tiny bit more romance since they are soulmates.I loved how Airicka wrote out the pain that Fallon felt at her mothers death..that was very emotional.I am eager to see what book 2 holds since there was quite a bit left unknown.I have to say this story does NOT disappoint in action and I look forward to reading the next in the series.

None Of The Regular Rules By Erin Downing

Sometimes, a few dares can change lives...

The weekend before the start of senior year, Sophie Erickson and her best friends, Ella and Grace, discover a handwritten list of dares tucked away in the glove compartment of Sophie's beat-up old Toyota. But this isn't just any list; it's a dead girl's bucket list.

Sophie's beloved aunt Suzy died as a teenager in a fatal fall, leaving Sophie with an overly cautious family, a few fading photographs, and a bucket of bolts that barely passes for a car. But now, Sophie has Suzy's list of the things she wanted to do in her last year of high school. Sophie can't help but wonder: What would happen if she tried to fulfill Suzy's last wishes, to live out the longed-for life of her aunt, her hero?

As Sophie and her friends attempt to knock off the things on Suzy's list of dares, love blossoms in unexpected places and Sophie begins to feel that her life is finally coming together...when in fact, everything is slowly unraveling around her. When the truth about a long-held family secret threatens to shatter everything she believed to be true, Sophie is forced to question everything she knew about the life and people she believed in, and ultimately herself.

None of the Regular Rules is a hilarious, heartbreaking, and sexy new novel from the author of Drive Me Crazy and Kiss It.

------------------------
 5 STARS

   I was gifted a Copy of None of The Regular Rules by Erin Downing for a honest review. This story is about Sophie finding a list left by her Aunt Suzy who died after falling from a water tower.Sophie decides to complete the items on the list in honor of her Aunt.Her friends Grace and Ella help her and her Neighbor Johnny Rush comes in pretty handy with a certain ultra cool ride on lawn mower.This story is about finding out who You are,not losing yourself in the process,finding love and last but not least the power of friendship.
   Wow.Wow.Wow.Yes 3 Wows.None of The Regular Rules is that good.I literally would have pulled an all nighter on this had it not been for my minions needing to be at school in the morning. As I've mentioned before..A good book in my eyes is one that entrenches you in it..makes the world go away..all of which happened for me.If I could have had one thing change in the book it would have been a teeny bit more romance..BUT let me say that the book has it and does it well..Im just a sucker for the ooey gooeyness of it.I loved the ending and honestly the last paragraph was wonderfully written.I also have to say that I love that Sophie just chopped her hair off..let her friends cut it and send it to Locks of Love.That was epic as its honestly the first time I have seen it in a young adult novel.Honestly If you haven't read None of The Regular Rules..what are you waiting for?This is a MUST read.Walk,Run to your computer and get it.You will not be disappointed.

The Halo Chronicles:The Guardian By Carey Corp

High school sophomore Alex Grabovski is cursed with a gift: the ability to see the goodness and evil in her fellow human beings in the form of halos—rings of light or darkness—that surround the body. Her goals in life are to keep moving, find her best friend, and to remain invisible. A new foster family and new school offer her a real chance at a normal life. But in order to stay, she must accept that her gift, The Gift of the Saints, has been bestowed for a purpose and confront the overwhelming darkness she fears.

Then he appears.

Gabriel is a Seraph, a guardian angel sent in the mortal body of a sixteen-year-old boy to protect Alex at the time in her life when she needs it most. Although he is as old as time, Gabriel’s teenage form reacts to Alex in an unexpected, unprecedented way. He falls hopelessly in love with her.

When their school erupts in violence, Gabriel and Alex realize why the guardian was sent. But can they rise above human emotions to fulfill their destinies, even if it means the outcome will rip their fragile world apart?

The Halo Chronicles: The Guardian is a 2010 RWA Golden Heart® finalist for best young adult fiction.

 REVIEW 5 STARS

   Alex has a special ability and that ability is to see whether people are good or bad..She is able to do that with the colors that come off them..a grey/black for bad and a white/gold/yellow for good.She has seen this her entire life.Alex has recently come to live with her new foster parents who do not know she has this ability.She gets into a tight spot one day and Gabriel saves her.Gabriel is a Seraph..a guardian angel..sent to do a duty and that duty is to protect Alex.Gabriel and Alex fall hopelessly in love and I absolutely loved reading about their romance..it was so sweet.Plus Gabriel is a amazing boyfriend.Unfortunately Gabriel still has his duty to the heavenly world.
  I could not put the book down.It was amazing.Ive always loved reading about angels and humans in a love story and this one did not disappoint.The story flowed so well and the way Carey Corp was able to bring all the characters to life and make them so believable was excellent.I felt for secondary characters just as much as I did for the main characters.The ending about killed me..I was like oh my God..Then I was like Thank goodness there is a book 2..or Casey Corp would have had some splainin' to do! If your looking for an amazing read then this is one you will not want to miss!
