This series is the first I've read of CC Wood and it's promising!

I'm not alwaya thrilled with Paranormal Romance, but I read it now and then. I like how this one has a combination of fun and terror. I like that it doesn't pretend to be a Paranormal and just have all the smut in it. This one's just had a right amount of everything. The story feels so real that I can feel the horror to my bones. I also like one part that makes me go 'WTAF?' I wanted to throw my phone to the wall. It's just makes you want to read more but also makes you want to savor every moment. Another good thing is that even though it was a series and needs to be read in order but the end of each books isn't a cliffy. 

The characters are also very fun to read. They add mystery to the story. I was starting to doubt one person and it just adds so much thrill to it.

This is by far the best from the series and I'm giving this a 5 star.

Book Review: Sundays are for Hangovers - K Webster and JD Hollyfield

Title Sundays are for Hangovers
Author K Webster and JD Hollyfield
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publish date May 21, 2018



For nearly a year, they’ve been at war.

Cops. Forks. Eggs.

Two feuding neighbors who couldn’t be more opposite, forced to live next door to one another.

Neither is backing down.


She drives him crazy with her loud nineties rap music.

He gets under her skin the way he obsesses over his stupid perfect lawn.


She fantasizes about having sex with the hot nerd—but with duct tape over his dumb mouth.

He has dirty dreams of the bombshell beauty where he bangs the crazy right out of her—nightmares of course.

Anger isn’t the only thing heating up between these two.


They think this is a battle only one of them can win…

The growing attraction between them, though, seems to be far more stubborn than the two of them combined.



Amazon



K Webster and JD Hollyfield together is undoubtedly hilarious. This is the fourth book (first three are part of the series) of them that I read. And I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.

The story line is good with those ups and downs. I like the twists and climax and how they were placed in the whole plot. It's not the typical love story that I get to read and it is entertaining. I also liked how the story played out with the family. Not the usual family resolution on most books. And I liked it.

I also liked the characters combination. The most unlikely pair but complementing all the same. I liked how Lilith wanted to break out of the shell her parents made of her but respects them as much as she could at the same time. I like how Will tries to be a better person for himself and the people who cares for him.

Overall, I'd give this 4 out of 5 stars. I did enjoy the whole shebang, I just wished it has more heart wrenching scenes.

Fix My Fall is the third installment for the Fix series featuring the unica hija of the Thompsons.

At one point, I get to relate with Abby seeing as everyone around me keeps on pestering me about my relationship status. There are also moments when I feel alone or lonely, or even questioning myself what is wrong with me. Her character is so real and strong. It's not often for me to admire a heroine, but I admire her independence and gut. She knows how to bounce back despite all the setbacks. The only thing I don't like about her is the way her confidence sometimes gets the best of her, which I think is a common flaw of most girls. Now Spencer is another story. He's the hot physically and his brains makes him hotter. I always admire guys who knows how to use their heads that are on top of their shoulders.

The story is light and smooth sailing. Less drama and just straight to the point. Just the right amount of sexy that makes it sweet and romantic. I just felt a little lacking on the plot twist. And the last part is a bit predictable for me.

I'd still give this a 4 star mainly because I loved the characters and I did enjoy reading them.

Book Review: Tempting Sophia - Jessica Prince

Tempting Sophia by Jessica Prince
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publishing Date: November 2nd, 2017



Having my heart broken once was enough to make me give up on the idea of love all together. Instead of searching for The One I decided to embrace variety and turn by back on monogamy. I made a living convincing women they didn’t need a man to feel complete.


And I totally rocked at it.


Until the man who shattered my happily ever after came waltzing back into my life, determined to make me fall for him all over again.


He claims that I’m the love of his life. He wants a second chance, and it seems like he’ll stop at nothing to tempt the hell out of me. But if Dominic Abbatelli thinks he can win me back with his puppy dog eyes, heartfelt apologies, and declarations of love then he’s...probably right.

Indie authors are normally a hit or miss. When I signed up to receive a copy of Tempting Sophia, I didn’t realize that it was from an author that I have already reviewed in the past until I saw my Kindle library. And after reading this, I think it’s safe to say that she will be on my “hit list”.

Tempting Sophia is a second chance romantic comedy that will make you believe that true love is always out there. Although the book is listed under the author’s stand alones, I think it is best read with Seducing Lola (first) and Enticing Daphne (coming soon) as they are inter-connected. Although the ending is pretty much predictable, what will happen in between is still something to excite me. It was pretty straightforward and just the right pace. And since it was a second chance love story, it is kind of acceptable for me that she made the timeline that way. It also made me fall in love and hurt with the characters along the way. I know how hard for it for authors to actually reach out and make the readers feel what exactly are the characters feeling, but I think Prince was able to achieve that, considering that I haven’t really been in that place.

Although, I didn’t really like how Sophia acted and reacted on some of the scenarios, I love how dedicated she is with the people she loves that she is willing to let go of her own feelings just to make sure the people she loves get what they deserve. And it’s also a plus that she was raised and loved by a single dad and basically a bad-ass. I just hoped her dad showed up more. Dominic is definitely every lady’s man. Come on, he cooks for crying out loud. Okay, maybe that’s just me. But who doesn’t want a man who woos his girl by some pretty sumptuous meal? He also shows flaw without really coming across as weak. He’s realistic and ideal all in one package.

Overall, I’ll give this 4 out of 5 stars. It made me laugh and hurt and fall in love, enough to cherish it. But I think there’s more we can add into it for a 5 star.
