Sisters In Love

Danica Snow has always been the smart, practical, and appropriate sister. As a therapist, she prides herself on making reasonable, conservative choices, even if a bit boring, and as part of the Big Sister Program, she has little time for anything more in her life. Blake Carter is a player. He never gets bored of conquering women, and with his sexy good looks and successful lifestyle, he has no trouble finding willing participants. When his friend and business partner dies in a tragic accident, he suddenly, desperately, wants to change his ways. The problem is, he doesn’t know how to stop doing what he does best. When Blake walks into Danica’s office, the attraction between them is white hot, but Danica isn’t the type to give into the heat and risk her career. Danica’s desire sets her on a path of self-discovery, where she begins to question every decision she’s ever made. Just this once, Danica wants to indulge in the pleasures of life she’s been so willingly ignoring, but with her Little Sister in turmoil and her biological sister’s promiscuousness weighing heavily on her heart, she isn’t sure it’s the right time to set her desires free. SISTERS IN LOVE is a light, uplifting work of women’s fiction and will resonate with readers who enjoy emotional journeys of the heart with strong heroines and sexy, lovable heroes. Readers of books by Jane Porter and Beth Kendrick will enjoy Danica and Blake’s story. About The Author Melissa Foster is the award-winning author of four International bestselling novels.

High School HangoverHigh School Hangover by Stephanie Hale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book!! Everyone experiences a crush at some point in their high school life, that wild party, and finding out things about themselves they would only dream of. It may not all happen like it happened to Laney but it happens. I wish it would have told what happened to Leo's family.

Fifty Shades Trilogy (Fifty Shades, #1-3) by E.L. James

Fifty Shades Trilogy (Fifty Shades, #1-3)Fifty Shades Trilogy by E.L. James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book definitely is for the 18 and under crowd! This book is for grown ups only!! While I do not agree with some of the "practices" of the book, I certainly did use my imagination to its fullest potential. I finished the whole series in a matter of 4 days. I did not think I would like this book before I read it so I did not jump on the band wagon when it first came out. This also is not the normal genre for me, but I am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone. Everybody had their own review of the book, some good and some not so good, but I think at some point in time everybody needs a little bit of Christian Grey. Either in man or woman form, everybody needs some Christian Grey. The fact that he took a shy girl and brought her out of her shell, not only changing her but himself is what had me hooked. She was hesitant at first but she eventually came around because she loved him and in turn he grew to love her and accept her demands. The third book left much to be desired but I would say that my absolute favorite was Fifty Shades Darker. It left you hanging just enough to want to read book 3.

Bully (Fall Away, #1) by Penelope Douglas

Bully (Fall Away, #1)Bully by Penelope Douglas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book!!! I got it when it was free on Amazon and put it to the side for later, but the cover kept drawing me to it. I could not put my tablet down to stop reading!! I found myself in a similar situation where I had feelings for someone and they were either really mean or pretended that I didn't exist. I highly recommend this story for the over 17 crowd seeing as there is sexual content.
