Butterfly Kisses By Mia Castile

   

   Mia Castile graciously gifted me with a ARC of Butterfly Kisses.I laughed,I squealed,I sighed...In fact I even Cried.Mia has written yet another winner.Butterfly Kisses takes place a few months after Becoming a Butterfly ends.Which is Book 1 in the series and one you will need to read prior to Butterfly Kisses.Reader be warned,It is a deep read many issues are addressed and they are addressed well.
     Butterfly Kisses,Book 2 takes us several months into Lana's recovery from her suicide attempt.She has to deal with her own issues in which she goes to counseling.On top of that dealing with her nemesis from school is the icing on the cake.Lana is befriended by Britt who has her own boatload of issues.I really enjoyed Britt...Just wanted to hug her and tell her its going to be okay. Laney is still dealing the the aftereffects of what happened in Becoming a Butterfly(Book 1). Where she pretended to be someone else and everyone found out..If you haven's read it you must.Luckily She has Chase who is her very best friend..who has hopes of being more.Will He?Well I for one will NOT post any spoilers..How unfair would that be for you my fellow readers?Butterfly Kisses is worth reading and reading again.
      I have only one critique and that is how it ended.Without giving it away lets just say we are very much looking forward to Butterfly Migration (Book 3).Mia has written another wonderful book.It deals with some big issues and the characters with them in ways that are human,Not perfect but Human. Butterfly Kisses is a wonderful read that you should not miss.Pick up Becoming a Butterfly first if you haven't read it prior to Butterfly Kisses.Haven't read anything by Mia Castile?You should,You'll be so happy you did.
Thank you again Mia for writing another winner.Keep up the great work!

From Mia Castile Personally-
I've decided that there's going to be 2 more installments to The Butterfly Chronicles. The Butterfly Migration and a 4th un-named book. More teenage issues to explore, lies to be kept, and love matches to make.

Catching Jordan By Miranda Kenneally

Catching Jordan By Miranda Kenneally 


ONE OF THE BOYS
What girl doesn't want to be surrounded by gorgeous jocks day in and day out? Jordan Woods isn't just surrounded by hot guys, though- she leads them as the captain and quarterback of her high school football team. They all see her as one of the guys and that's just fine. As long as she gets her athletic scholarship to a powerhouse university.
But everything she's ever worked for is threatened when Ty Greeen moves to her school. Not only is he an amazing QB, but he's also amazingly hot. And for the first time, Jordan's feeling vulnerable. Can she keep her head in the game while her heart's on the line?


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

   Ive had this book on my Kindle for awhile now and finally had the chance to read it.I had high hopes for this book and I enjoyed it.I didnt Love it however.It was really hard for me to get my head around a girl football player(I know girl power and all that) But usually girls dont want to be football players.I had issues with how Jordan talked.It was so distracting..you can be a athletic girl but you do not have to talk like one of the guys.Jordan just didnt do anything for me..the way she talked,ate and acted was way to much like a guy for a senior girl in high school.Yes I am being stereotypical,But I just had a very hard time getting past it.I enjoyed reading it for the most part.

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.

The DUFF-Designated Ugly Fat Friend-Kody Keplinger

Seventeen-year-old Bianca Piper is cynical and loyal, and she doesn't think she's the prettiest of her friends by a long shot. She's also way too smart to fall for the charms of man-slut and slimy school hottie Wesley Rush. In fact, Bianca hates him. And when he nicknames her "Duffy," she throws her Coke in his face.

But things aren't so great at home right now. Desperate for a distraction, Bianca ends up kissing Wesley. And likes it. Eager for escape, she throws herself into a closeted enemies-with-benefits relationship with Wesley.

Until it all goes horribly awry. It turns out that Wesley isn't such a bad listener, and his life is pretty screwed up, too. Suddenly Bianca realizes with absolute horror that she's falling for the guy she thought she hated more than anyone.

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

SPOILERS

    Meet Bianca..as described she feels she isnt as pretty as her 2 other friends and she is quite snarky.After a flinging of the drink at Wesley after he calls her a DUFF(Designated Ugly Fat Friend) she finds she is attracted to the one person who she does not want to be attracted to.They have a hidden friends with benefits thing going on.Bianca's mother is gone alot and its just her and her dad and then her mom up and files for divorce.Her dad does not take it well at all.Wesley's parents seem to just forget about him and he is constantly alone which is why he surrounds himself with girls..much to the annoyance and man-slut term Bianca uses.Both Bianca need each other and dont realize how much they do until Bianca realizes something and runs out on Wesley.
   I could not put this book down.It held me from page 1.Two teens who are desperate for affection,One to ease the loneliness and one to forget.Perhaps they should have found other ways rather then sex to deal with this but honestly in this book it worked.Both were quite mature for their age.My favorite part of the book was the ending.I wont divulge what happens but its magnifique (said in a french accent ).
