The Fine Line by Alicia Kobishop

~The Fine Line by Alicia Kobishop~ 

Review by Tonya N
Logan Tanner and street racing, Yummy!  If you like the Fast and Furious and A Beautiful Disaster, you’re going to love A Fine Line. Olivia Evans is a 17 year old senior that has had a bout of bad luck with the men in her life leaving her. Her father left her and her mother when she was younger and the only other father figures she has had also ended up leaving. To protect herself from feeling that loss again, she decides to never have a romantic relationship with a man, to only be friends. All is going well in her plan until she meets street racer Logan Tanner. 
Logan is really something special, a bad boy with a sensitive side (awhhh) and an awesome yellow mustang (hello… muscle cars ---HOTTTT). When Liv and Logan meet you know they are destined to be something more, but with Liv being the way she is, they become great friends. Throughout the book their relationship grows strong (with some kissing) but, Liv wants to keep Logan as her friend and keeps turning down any romantic advances … not wanting to change anything because she is afraid to lose him. Logan wants more from Liv and he tries (over and over and over) to convince her they could be great together, but Liv keeps running away from it.  
Liv kind drove me a little nuts, I mean, come on… if Logan “freakin” Tanner was knockin on my drawers…I’d drop ‘em… but I guess she was just too traumatized by her mother’s failed relationships. If you want to read a great story about friendship, love, trust, sex, and street racing, this one is for you! I give this stand alone novel 4 stars.

***Excerpt *** (this is the part in the book where Liv is telling Logan she wants to be “straight up” friends and when I fell for Logan)
He turned to climb down from the balcony, but before he did, he looked at me one last time. “You know, the race thing tonight was just an excuse. I was planning on coming here to sweep you off your feet and find a way to kiss you passionately in the moonlight.” He pointed up, directing my attention to the brilliant full moon that I hadn’t noticed until now. My attraction to him seemed to have intensified in the single moment it took me to look back at him. “But I think this will be much more interesting.”

Sweet Southern Betrayal by Robin Covington Review

Sweet Southern Betrayal ~The Boys are Back in Town Novel~

– Review By Tonya N.
The boys are definitely back in town. I loved Teague and his boys! WOW! Hot Hot Hot. This book was great, it was my first read by Robin Covington, but it won’t be my last. I read Sweet Southern Betrayal as a standalone but this book is a part of the series “The Boys are Back in Town”. Trust me, I will be reading more about the boys ;) Sweet Southern Betrayal is about Teague Elliot, a hot shot attorney who is trying to make all his political dreams come true in Washington DC, all he has to do is stay on ball and keep his eye on the prize. 
All hell breaks loose while he is away in Las Vegas for his sister and best friend’s wedding. Teague wakes up in bed with a mysterious show girl, Risa Clay. I loved Risa from the first page, she was spunky and loveable and their chemistry was great. The two of them make a pact to leave their night together in Las Vegas, and to forget about what happened, (which is okay, because Teague doesn’t remember much of it). The problem is he can’t seem to get this beautiful red head out of his thoughts. 
After Risa’s has time to think about this handsome stranger she was paid to set up,  she decides to help him and ends up double crossing the mob boss, Big Tony. In her attempt to make things right she leaves Las Vegas and ends up on Teague’s doorstep in Elliot VA where she drops a huge bomb… they are married. 
Through the twists and turns, Teague and Risa learn nothing is as it seems. In love and politics there is always betrayal, but is Teague and Risa’s relationship truly a farce or something more? Can he change his well laid out plans to include his new wife? I loved Sweet Southern Betrayal and give it 4 stars! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Forever & Always by Jasinda Wilder Review

Forever and Always by Jasinda Wilder

I was gifted this book for a review.

First off, what a way to write a book. The letter formation was pretty cool. Ok I loved it, with the in between things that where happening to Caden & Ever.

I really enjoyed the slow build up with their relationship, even with the instant connection through their art. While reading their letters after camp, it was refreshing to see them grow in character. Real life got in the way of writing to each other but yet they remained connected. My heart broke for Caden twice, poor boy. Even miles away Ever was still there for him. He had no choice but to grow up quickly. I was rooting for them to get together as they were truly connected in more ways than one. It ended on a cliffhanger and now I really need to go get the next book 'After Forever' I would recommend this book, such a lovely story. <3 Amy
