*REVIEW*One Tiny Lie By K.A Tucker





Livie has always been the stable one of the two Cleary sisters, handling her parents' tragic death and Kacey's self-destructive phase with strength and maturity. But underneath that exterior is a little girl hanging onto the last words her father ever spoke to her. “Make me proud,” he had said. She promised she would...and she’s done her best over the past seven years with every choice, with every word, with every action.

Livie walks into Princeton with a solid plan, and she’s dead set on delivering on it: Rock her classes, set herself up for medical school, and meet a good, respectable guy that she’s going to someday marry. What isn’t part of her plan are Jell-O shots, a lovable, party animal roommate she can’t say ‘no’ to, and Ashton, the gorgeous captain of the men’s rowing team. Definitely him. He’s an arrogant ass who makes Livie’s usually non-existent temper flare and everything she doesn’t want in a guy. Worse, he’s best friends and roommates with Connor, who happens to fits Livie’s criteria perfectly. So why does she keep thinking about Ashton?

As Livie finds herself facing mediocre grades, career aspirations she no longer thinks she can handle, and feelings for Ashton that she shouldn’t have, she’s forced to let go of her last promise to her father and, with it, the only identity that she knows.

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

   This is the story of Livie.Livie is Kacey's Sister from (Ten Tiny Breaths Book One).This is Livie's story.Her story is so very different from Kacey's..While you see some comparisons you really cannot compare them if that makes sense. Livie is the one who knows what she wants.The sensible one.She has it mapped out and planned out.She will NOT leave the plan.Until that fateful party where she meets Ashton and what a fine specimen he is Ashton has baggage lots of it. But K.A Tucker makes it work and boy does it work. Thats all your getting no Spoilers.Lips are sealed.
   K.A Tucker has once again wowed me.In One Tiny Lie you see Livie in a whole new light.Not just as the kid sister but living her life,Making her mistake.Learning.Loving.I am in utter awe of K.A Tuckers ability to draw you into a story.While Ten Tiny Breathes felt more dramatic One Tiny Lie felt like I could sit back relax a small bit with Livie and enjoy the college life.Kacey has it together in this book and there was no need to worry about Livie.She was able to be the carefree big sister giving her sisterly advice and perhaps pushing Livie out of her shell. Livie and Ashton's chemistry was sizzling.There was a part in the book where Livie spits out her drink and I swear I laughed out loud and scared the dog.Guess who was back?My Favorite Doctor Stayner,Watch out because if K.A Tucker let him he could totally steal the show.Sneaky Doctor that he is.I cannot and will not choose which book in this series I like better.I cannot.They are both great and so different you cannot compare.K.A Tucker you have wowed me once again with your writing.Job Well done.I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

*ARC Review of Waiting On Forever By Ashley Wilcox*






Planning On Forever

By Ashley Wilcox

Expected Release Date: April 29 2013


(Spin-off of Planning on Forever)

College.

Parties, sororities and getting drunk.

Oh, yeah. And learning.

This may be true for most college students, but not for Leah Bennett. College life for her includes studying, working, and excelling in school. When it comes to the social ladder, Leah is at the bottom. Popular girls, hot guys and star athletes are of no importance to her, except for one.

Matthew Jacobs.

Matt is the starting wide receiver at SUNY Cortland, the most wanted guy on campus and Leah’s best friend. Although Leah’s feelings toward Matt run deeper than just a friendship, it is something she would never let be seen because the odds of someone like Matthew Jacobs going for someone like Leah Bennett are slim to none.

When Matt starts showing an interest in Leah that goes beyond friendship, she is dumbfounded and doesn’t believe it is possible – until one weekend that changes everything.

Will Matt and Leah’s popularity status get in the way of having a chance at a real relationship?

Or does status mean nothing when it comes to true love?

REVIEW
5 STARS

I was given an ARC of Waiting on Forever By Ashley Wilcox for an honest Review.

    Waiting On Forever is the Story of Matthew Jacobs and Leah Bennett.It is the Spin Off in the Planning On Forever Series and a stand alone..which was great since I have not had a chance to read Planning On Forever yet.Without Giving to much of the book away lets just say that Leah and Matthew are at the total opposite social spectrum's and Leah pretty much cannot imagine what Matthew would see in her or why when he could have any girl in the school.
    I LOVE Happily Ever Afters,I LOVE books where honestly there isnt that much drama and Waiting on Forever is prefect in that way.I LOVE when the girl that shouldn't be does.I LOVE when the guy who should be everything you expect turns out not the be and ends up being better then you expected(I hope that makes sense).I read this book pretty quickly it took me about an hour and a half to finish.There were a  few things I was not in love with though.Leah said Ya know ALOT.It was tedious to read and was a bit annoying.There was also a few moments in the book where it felt like Leah's character did not quite match up.She is portrayed as a nerd and a bit shy but then ended up kicking some girls butt.I just found it a bit contradictory.Other then that it is a wonderful book that I think people will thoroughly enjoy!Ashley Wilcox you have done a great job!Keep up the Great Work!!!
