Hey Everyone!! So I finished Cora Carmack's newest novel All Lined Up, the first book in her new series Rusk University,  and I'm so darn excited to share with you my review!! When I was given the opportunity to review this one a few months ago for the blog tour, I instantly jumped at the chance; which for some of you, if you've been reading up on my blog for a while now, know that I haven't been the best reader in the past months, therefore haven't really been accepting any review request/blog tour dates, only because my schedule has been so crazy busy, I just haven't had the chance to read as much as I've wanted!

Hey Everyone!! So before now, I have never read a book by Colleen Hoover...I know, I know, some of you must be asking yourself, "What?!! WHY?!!"  And trust me when I say, I started asking myself that exact same question about half way through Maybe Someday , Colleen's latest release.

I cannot even tell you how hard it is to have to write this review!  But unfortunately, I have promised to be honest when reviewing the books I read...so here goes. I finished Real  by Katy Evans today.  It was sent to me by the publisher, and I had heard, before reading it, that it has gotten rave reviews! In fact I've read quite a few of those reviews now, because I just can't believe how so many people liked this book...Okay, I am 100% not bashing anyone who enjoyed it, I've mentioned before that when people respect what I like and they don't like it, that I'll respect their opinions. So anyway, instead I'll give you my opinion on this book!

***WARNING***ADULT CONTENT INVOLVING INAPPROPRIATE SUBJECTS FOR ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18!!!*** Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! This is a bittersweet moment...in one sense it's exciting to read the conclusion of a series, just because it's nice to add that final book to your collection on your bookshelf; but at the same time it's sad to say goodbye to characters you've slowly begun to know as friends...maybe that's just me though! I love getting to know characters, and Christina Lauren's Beautiful Bastard series was no exception! From Goodreads : Love that Cover! Back when not being able to stand each other also meant not being able to keep their hands off each other in  Beautiful Bastard , neither Bennett nor Chloe could have seen this day coming.

Hey everyone! So I finished Cora Carmack's new novella!! Love her Losing It  series! From Goodreads : Garrick Taylor and Bliss Edwards managed to find their happily-ever-after despite a rather . . . ahem . . . complicated start. By comparison, meeting the parents should be an absolute breeze, right? But from the moment the pair lands in London, new snags just keep cropping up: a disapproving mother-in-law-to-be, more than one (mostly) minor mishap, and the realization that perhaps they aren't quite as ready for their future as they thought. As it turns out, the only thing harder than finding love is keeping it. My Thoughts: With only about a 100 pages this is such a cute continuation of Garrick and Bliss's story from  Losing It .  I truly enjoyed it!  These two make such a cute couple that have the reader hoping more than anything that they will make it. Overall rating: Super cute! Only complaint I have is that I wish we could have gotten more of a...

For my third book in the Summer Wrap-Up Read-a-thon (hosted by Jude @In Between & Jen @ Some Like It Paranormal ) I read 'Scuse Me While I Kill This Guy (#1 in the Bombay Assassins) by Leslie Langtry!   I was given this book at the beginning of last month from the author for review.  Overall, let me be honest here, at first the only reason why I said yes to reviewing this one, is because of the title.  I mean come on?  Who can NOT laugh at that?! Before I go into my thoughts let me tell you a little more about it... Virginia Bombay (aka Gin...haha real funny...you immature people for laughing at the joke...lol ;)) is living a pretty satisfactory life.  She's got money (in fact she's got quite the hefty trust fund), she's raising a beautiful five year old daughter,  and she's an assassin?? Yes, you read that correct.  Gin is an assassin.  In fact, her ENTIRE family is!  It runs in their genes.  From the age of ...
