*~* Synopsis *~*

My name is Kendall Carrington—or so I thought.

One night, a routine traffic stop turned the world I thought I knew upside down. I wasn’t who I thought I was. No one was. I had been kidnapped when I was young, and everything I had been told was all a lie. But the lies didn’t end there. If it hadn’t been for Lincoln Hunt, I might not have ever found out the truth.

My real name is Danielle Tucker.

This is my story of pain, betrayal, and finding the true meaning of home.

*~* My Review *~*

Hmmm how do I start this one.. Screw it I'll just jump right in.. lol

Kendall is the strong minded, sassy young girl that lives with a man she thinks of as a father figure, John. He has raised her since she was a small girl and loves her as his own. John has a son named Billy that was in and out of the picture as she grew up.

Kendall was a great character and what I loved about her is that she never took any slack from anyone.

Danielle is a weak yet sassy young woman trying to find her place in the world. Losing all she had twice has truly left her grasping at the wrong straws.

I enjoyed Danielles character but OMG if she fell to the ground in a pile of emotions one more time I would leave her there. Just saying. That being said she was so lost in what is right and wrong for her. Living such different worlds had to be so hard. To us it was plain and simple but to be there is totally different.

Kendall is Danielle... Are you ready for this crazy story?

Leddy did a great job with this book. I had NO idea where it was going and OMG was it a crazy ride. Four and a half heartbreaking beautiful stars have been granted :)

*~* Synopsis *~*

Sage’s life as a teenage runaway in San Francisco is simple: Snatch a few hours of sleep on park benches and bus stops; dodge perverts, predators, and cops; and make enough as a street musician to eat. But her world flips upside down when she meets Derek – hot, tattooed, and charming, a singer from Seattle whose looks and talent take her breath away.

What begins as a reluctant partnership quickly develops into a cross-country race against time - and awakens a hunger in Sage that’s unfamiliar and exciting.

As they travel from coast to coast, Sage and Derek pursue their dream, only to discover that they can never run far enough to escape the demons from their pasts.

Less Than Nothing is the breakout debut NA novel from USA Today bestseller R.E. Blake that critics are buzzing about and readers can’t put down. Sage & Derek's story continues in More Than Anything (book 2) and Best of Everything (book 3).

*~* My Review *~*

Wow this book was awesome. 

Sage was such a strong character as a teenage female street performer. I really loved he attitude and her strength. She really makes you proud of her and envious of her ability to deal what life's handed her. Most of us couldn't handle living on the street and hustling to eat everyday. 

Melody is Sages only friend and freakin hilarious. She really helped Sage in so many ways and comedy relief helped us all. Lol

Derek is the sexy male character in this book. He is also a street performer yet so brave, sexy and talented. If it wasn't for him Sage may be right where he found her. 

This book was definitely different from my norm. That being said I really enjoyed this book and can not wait til the next one. Five stars have been granted :)

*~* Synopsis *~*

Besides her family, Lacey Robinson’s only other love is baseball. She’s on top of the world when Arizona State University approaches her to discuss a scholarship. To be the first girl ever to grace a college boys’ team is beyond what she has ever dreamed. Her fastball is impeccable, her curve ball equally as good, and her slider annihilates anyone who dares to step in the batter’s box. But fate has its own way of throwing curve balls.

When she looses her mother and sister to a home invasion, baseball and her dreams die with them. Tragedy has a way of seeping deep into her psyche, causing nightmares, panic attacks and blackouts. Diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, her psychiatrist recommends a change of scenery and picking up the things that she loved to do, and for Lacey that is baseball.

After a move clear across the country, only two things matter to Lacey—overcome her PTSD and make Kensington High’s baseball team. However, she never counted on meeting someone who wants her as badly as Kade Maxwell. The tall, sexy and drool-worthy bad boy has a magical touch that awakens her feminine side, and a kiss that slowly erases her nightmares. But getting involved with him may be dangerous when Kade’s nemesis returns to town to settle a vendetta. To complicate matters, her PTSD has taken a turn for the worse. She has to find a way to heal otherwise she may not have a chance at anything in life, especially love.

*~* Review *~*

I absolutely loved this book. When I started reading it I thought it was a male character but once you figure out it's a girl it pulls you in. Once I start reading I didn't want to put it down but unfortunately I had to at times.

Lacey went through so much but still tries so hard to make her goals come true. I really loved reading her character because she's so tough, spunky, and sassy. She is truly an awesome character and wish this book wouldn't have ended but maybe we'll hear more about them in the next books.

Kade is a sexy, hardworking, intelligent guy that has a past that he doesn't easily share. He's kind of sketchy at the beginning but once you get into it you will fall for him like I did. I really enjoyed his story and his character because he is so not what you think he is.

I loved this book and can't wait to read the others. Five HUGE golden stars have been granted :)

*~* REVIEW of Love Discovered in New York by Danielle Allen *~*

Title: Love Discovered in New York
Author: Danielle Allen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Reviewer: Natalie :)


*~* Synopsis *~*

The Rebel

Mya Washington is a rebel. Or at least, that’s what her family has always said. As the youngest of a set of triplets, she has always been the more rebellious of the three…even though she never considered herself a rebel.

Outspoken? Yes.

Rule Breaker? Sometimes.

Trouble Maker? Nev—occasionally.

Growing tired of being typecast and misunderstood, Mya moves to New York looking for a fresh start away from the life she grew up in and out of the shadow of her older sisters. Striking out on her own may have put a strain on the family dynamic, but it's the new beginning Mya was looking for.

But after the unexpected death of her mother, she is blindsided yet again by a wedding invitation she didn’t see coming. Her father’s upcoming marriage only cements the wall she’s put up around her heart. Because if her father could be such an utter disappointment, why should she even attempt to open up to any man?

Enter Colton Davis.

*~* Review *~*

I loved this book because each and every character is so well thought out. They each are special to the story and described perfectly but I'll stick to the main ones. Ha ha

Mya is an independent, open minded, triplet. I really enjoyed her because she reminds me of myself a bit. Shes spunky and doesn't stand for any bull.

Colton is a sexy, tattooed, entrepreneur. I was hooked from the first moment Mya laid eyes on him. Yummmm.. I loved him because he was sexy, alpha (not too alpha), and passionate.

The chemistry between these two was amazing. You are always so anxious for them to reunite but they're both stubborn.I'm always amazed at how awesome an author Danielle is. Her writing is detailed and tantalizingly. The romance is always intense and leaves you wanting more. I can not wait to read the other sisters stories. Five MEGA gold stars have been granted :)

*~* Synopsis *~*

The guy she wants…

Growing up on the coast of Maine with a revolving door of foster siblings, Caitlyn Michaud spent one intense and passionate year falling in love with her foster brother, Heath. Then he left without a word. The betrayal devastated Caitlyn and made her vow to forget the compelling bad boy. But forgetting his sensual touch and their deep all-consuming friendship is easier said than done.

Isn’t the guy she needs…

Determined to move on, in college Caitlyn has risen above her small town impoverished roots and has joined a sorority, reinvented her appearance, and landed the right boyfriend. Pre-law major and frat president, Ethan, is thoughtful and always laughing, and he makes her feel happy, calm. He also gives her the social acceptance she craves.

But the perfect world she tried so hard to attain is ripped apart when Heath appears one night out of nowhere. Caitlyn remembers all the reasons why she loves him, even if they don’t make sense to anyone but her. Out of the military, Heath is as brooding and intense as ever, and he is determined not only to win her back, but to exact revenge on everyone who kept him from her…

And when one love allows her to breathe, but the other feels as essential to her life as air, how does she choose between them?

*~* Review *~*

I really liked this book. I love the push and pull in the relationships.

Caitlyn thought she had it all figured out until everything changed. Cat is that annoying girl that can't make up her mind. I liked her because she wanted everyone to be happy and would sacrifice her own happiness to do that.

Ethan was a cool guy but he made me mad at times too. I liked that he was sweet on Cat and treated her well.

Heath, well he's my favorite. I'm sure he will be yours too. I loved him because he was so intense and loving. He would do anything for Cat and did. His main goal in life is to be with her and make her happy.
