Jet by Jay Crownover

Warning: Pardon my language in advance, there might be minor spoilers

Rating: Two thumbs up

Blurb: With his tight leather pants and a sharp edge that makes him dangerous, Jet Keller is every girl’s rock and roll fantasy. But Ayden Cross is done walking on the wild side with bad boys. She doesn’t want to give in to the heat she sees in Jet’s dark, haunted eyes. She’s afraid of getting burned from the sparks of their spontaneous combustion, even as his touch sets her on fire.

Jet ugh... I cannot even get started on Jet, so we will just start with Ayden. She is one of the complicated women in this series. I am not going to say the only one because I am sure there are going to be more considering I still have a few books left to read for this series.
Ayden is sweet with a dark past that she tries to hide, which eventually catches up with her. She tries to change who she is and put on a new persona of her. Her family is not perfect, in fact they are kind of shitty.

Asa is her brother and you know how brothers are suppose to protect their younger sisters.. well not this guy. He uses her for his own purpose and then has the audacity to ask for help later. I still have a little sliver of hope that he will get better I am really hoping he will get better because Ayden needs a win.. well she already had a win and his name is Jet, but I cant spoil anything.

Ayden's mom is kind of... I would not say like Rule's mom  because Rule's mom eventually saw all the trouble she was causing in her family. Ayden's mom is selfish and does not care about any one but herself.

Now let us get to the main attraction. Jet! He is a tattooed rocker and he writes music for other bands. He is also in a metal band and he screams, but supposedly he sings very well too. Jet's family is not any better ( there is a pattern here with bad parents). 

His mom is kind of weak, I know that is not the right word, but why go back to the guy that puts you down physically and verbally especially when Jet is trying to a good kid by helping her.  That kind of made me mad, she did not see the flaws that her husband had and it really sucked having to read what Jet goes through with them.  She has someone that is willing to help her, but she would rather stay with an ass. 

His father I hate with every fiber of my being. He is the worst human being in this series so far. He always used Jet for favors because he was not ready to settle and act his actual age. He was so set in his ways that when he heard the word no he would threaten Jet with his mother. He is scum. I was really happy when Jet did something to him and I could not wait for him to disappear, but alas that is not how this book worked out.

There is starting to be a pattern in this book. The parents seem to suck. I have not read one book in this series where the parents were good and normal parents. I guess that is reality not everyone's parents are good, some are shitty parents and that is horrible for the children in that family. There is also another pattern. They are eventually able to get through their troubles because they have people around them to help them, and because they are grown up. It is reality eventually children are going to get tired with their parents bullshit and being treated horribly that they will make their own family with friends around them. I know I am ranting, but this is important to point out.

Anyways I will end this before it gets too long, which I am sure it already is. I highly recommend this book and the series, because there are sad parts,but there are also happy parts which balances everything out.
 

Rule by Jay Crownover

Rating: thumbs up
Description: Shaw has always loved Rule since she was thirteen. Rule is the complete opposite of what Shaw should want because they seem so different, but are they really all that different.

Shaw is a pre med student that is seen as an uptight person at first because of the way she acts in the first part of the book, but throughout the book she slowly starts to change  into a more relaxed. She becomes more true to herself.  Shaw was always seen as Remy's girl, but she has always been Rule's.

Rule is a tattoo artist and he is full of tattos and piercings. He is kind of blind when it comes to Shaw.  He also has the bad boy attitude and he does not really get along with his parents, just like Shaw. It took them a while to actually get together, but when they did I was really happy.

Shaw and Rule are pretty great together, they needed to get there stuff straight a couple times ans figure out how to be together without hurting eachother but in the end, they were pretty amazing.

I love meeting Rome. He is the oldest brother.  Remy is the twin of Rule. He is the opposite of Rule. He is calm and was not hard to handle and was in school. He also made Rule calm and it was very sad what happened to him.

Shaws family kind of sucks. They are blind and stupid. They are snobby and kept pushing a guy onto Shaw even if she did not want him. This guy you will hate with every fiber of your being. He sucks!

Rules family is broken and has been broken since Remy. The mother always blames Rule and she does not see him as her son, but as a monster which is really sad because nobody should be treated that way by there parents.

Overall this book was really good and I was really happy about how it ended... everything slowly starts to shift together. I recommend this book and i will probably recommend the whole series by the time I am done.... I have a weakneas for tattooed guys :)

Dead Ever After by Charlaine Harris

Rating: Thumbs down

Description: Sookie Stackhouse finds it easy to turn down the request of former barmaid Arlene when she wants her job back at Merlotte’s. After all, Arlene tried to have Sookie killed. But her relationship with Eric Northman is not so clearcut. He and his vampires are keeping their distance…and a cold silence. And when Sookie learns the reason why, she is devastated.Then a shocking murder rocks Bon Temps, and Sookie is arrested for the crime.But the evidence against Sookie is weak, and she makes bail. Investigating the killing, she’ll learn that what passes for truth in Bon Temps is only a convenient lie. What passes for justice is more spilled blood. And what passes for love is never enough

This is mainly going to be a ranting review, I am sorry in advance.

Even before I started reading this book, I was dreading the end, because I accidentally read a spoiler when it first came it.  After reading this spoiler it took me a long time to actually want to read it, because the spoiler I read was not at all how I wanted this series to end.

First of all this book was mostly about Arlene coming back and having to work for certain enemies  to get back at Sookie, I was expecting an ending for each important character. 

I was expecting Sookie to end up with Eric and that was my OTP in this series, from the second he was introduced. Sadly that is not how it ended and I was upset about that. I understand that the author needed to figure out a way to end the series, but with that guy really?!

 I was happy with everybody elses relationships, just not Sookie's and she is the main character so that is bad right?

Other than that the story was good, there was a lot more death in this book I find. 

I was really happy when Quinn came into the story for a little because I loved quinn, not as much as Eric or Alcide, but i still liked Quinn.

At the end of the story I really disliked Eric because he was an ass.

This series overall was good, but this last book....... no. 

Tied by Emma Chase

 Rating: Two thumbs up

Blurb: This story is about the Marriage of Kate and Drew, and their bachelor and bachelorette parties. Drew goes through some tests to see if he is finally ready to commit to marriage and he passes with no problem... well maybe almost two problems but in the end it was worth it and he is ready to move on with his family and being able to call Kate Mrs. Evans. 

I am very happy that this was the ending for Kate and Drew. I also really like that there was not a hiccup, there were tiny hiccups, but not huge hiccups which would stop a wedding. I also really loved that all their friends were there, even Warren. You can see that Drew has grown up and matured since he lets Kate go to someplace where all bachelorette parties go. I think both Kate and Drew have both matured since the first book and I like that they have grown from who they were at the beginning.

This story would not be complete if Dee and Matthew were not in it, I was really glad to see that they were still the same and have not changed.

Even if this story was mostly about Kate and Drew, there were some parts where it was about Alexandra and Steven and their problems, of course there was a happy ending there. I am very happy about that because i did not want them to end up in divorce, because they did not deserve that.

Mackenzie is adorable and I really enjoyed seeing her older and how she handled the boy that was crushing on her, it was hilarious that part.

Little James was great, he definitely took after his father Drew and it was funny and cute especially with some words that he said.

The writing was good and I was really happy about the ending of this series. It is definitely worth the read, all the books are, even if they are sometimes frustrating. In the end its all worth it.

Tamed by Emma Chase

Rating: One thumbs up.

Blurb:  When Matthew meets Dee, he knows she is special. When Dee meets Matthew she thinks the worst of him and lumps him in with all the other bad men that she has dated. It will take some time for Matthew to convince Dee that he is worth the risk and when he does it will be all worth it.

Dee is seen as a flight risk. Ready to leave at any second if the ship starts to sink. Having relationships with her are hard and Matthew has to work for it. Dee is an eccentric and very interesting.

Matthew is the type of guy to know what he wants and he does not change his mind... well he does not change it if it is not for good reason.  He is also very sweet and not really a womanizer like Drew so that is a plus.

This story was good and I loved the writing because it still has the story telling feel to it.  I really did not like how long it took them to finally get there stuff together, after the first two books with Drew and Katie, I was thinking okay this one will be easy there will be no trouble... wrong! Dee is really scared of commitment so there is a lot of pushing away. After all the ups and downs i went to through with both of these characters, I thought I was part of this relationship, I was really not happy when Dee decides to be horrible and do something to Matthew, maybe his heart gets a little broken... just a little.

Destined for Doon By Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon

Description
    After the first book Kenna decides to leave Doon and follow her dream of Broadway, but by doing this she leaves behind her true love. When she thinks she will never see him again, he shows up only to bring her back to Doon under orders because Doon is in need of her, but by saving Doon will she be able to still get her prince?

Rating: Two thumbs up!!! Highly recommended too.

This is the second book in the Doon series.  The feels from this book were insane, once i started this book i could not put it down. I love the way the authors put both Mackenna's and Veronica's POV.

Duncan, let me start here *sighs* Stubborn and pig headed. He is just like his brother Jamie when it comes to love. I wanted to just shove Duncan and Kenna in a room until they made up. Duncan is kind of worse because he let Kenna believe there was something brewing between Ana and him, which was kind of mean, but i guess it was a pay back of sorts. I have always liked both  boys but Duncan stole my heart, he was charming and sweet and a ladies man, but he was also very protective, so when Kenna threw that away all I could think was *raises my hand* I volunteer to be Duncan's, but luckily Kenna gets back onto my good side in the end and i am happy because they were my ship.

Mackenna is also just as stubborn as Duncan, I do not want to see their kids ... I love Kenna, but she can be so dense sometimes. Why leave Doon when it was perfect for her, in the end I am happy with the decision she makes.

Jamie and Veronica were really sweet together they had minor stumbles, but nothing they could not overcome and I liked that they even tried to help Duncan and Kenna get together because they needed that extra shove and many more.

Fiona and Fergus, I loved that even though they were not the main characters they still played a pretty big part in the book.  I liked that they were constantly in the book, they were not just there for a couple pages and then disappeared.

The ending of this book though... I  cannot even begin to explain nor would i want to because that would contain spoilers, but does the third book really have to come out in September, I need the book now  and I really need the Witch of Doon to disappear or die (... is that mean of me? ) she is getting in the way of happy endings and I need happy endings not book endings that make me cry, although it was not just the ending that made me cry... damn Duncan.
