Review: Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire

 My Rating: Date Me Now! (4.5 stars)

Genre: New Adult Romance

Steam Level: Hot

First off, I did not re-read Beautiful Disaster before reading Walking Disaster. Personally I feel like I was able to enjoy Walking Disaster much more that way, otherwise a lot of the book would have seemed fairly repetitive. It’s been over a year since I read BD, so while I still remember the basic plot and characters, parts of Walking Disaster felt like reading a new story as I remembered specific scenes, sub plots, or conversations that I had forgotten about. My advice would be that you DEFINITLEY need to have read BD in order to enjoy WD, but I would not recommend re-reading it beforehand.

Now on to Travis. Travis, Travis, Travis. Oh how I want to kiss, lick, and slap every inch of his face at the same time.  He is a raging ball of emotions and every emotion that he experiences is oversized from anger to lust to love. In some instances his feelings had me swooning and lusting over him, but when his raging dragon showed his head I wanted to take a hesitant step back. I forgot how short his temper was and how volatile he could be. We see even more of that side of his personality in WD because there are scenes where he is on the verge of going off, but manages to hold it in so Abby never knows about it. Yes his temper scared me a couple of times, BUT his wrath was almost always in response to his intense uncontrollable love for Abby (even when he didn’t know he was in love with her yet). Anger and fighting is what Travis has grown up knowing and is one of the few ways he knows how to express his feelings and let off steam. By the end of WD (especially in the epilogue) we finally see a Travis that has matured and learned to get his emotions under to control to an extent, but Travis is always going to be Travis. Would we want him any other way?

The relationship between Abby and Travis is all-consuming, dysfunctional, and addictive. There is so much passion between them that they can’t think straight without each other. We see this even more in WD. There is sooo much angst in this book and I was NOT able to set it down. My heart broke for Travis over and over again. Even though I knew their HEA was coming at the end, it was almost worse knowing everything they had to go through before they got it.

“Maybe it was just me. Maybe it was just me and her. Maybe together we were this volatile entity that would either implode or meld together. Either way, it seemed the moment I met her, my life had been tured upside down. And I didn’t want it any other way.” ~Travis

The epilogue was surprising and sweet and helps to set up the books Jamie plans to write about Travis’s brothers.  But besides the Epilogue, there weren’t really any heart-stopping ‘moments’ that I hadn’t already seen in BD. Not that I didn’t LOVE re-reading some of my favorite scenes EVER written, but just be forewarned that WD is a companion novel and the re-telling of BD in every sense of the word. It is a beautiful and tormenting story, but it the same story we all know and love.

“Even though we’d put each other through hell, we’d found heaven. Maybe that was more than a couple of sinner deserved, but I wasn’t going to complain.” ~Travis

To those of you who are hesitant to read Walking Disaster because you don't want a repeat of the same book, I understand your fear and there is some repetition in this book, but if you loved Beautiufl Disaster you will love Walking Disaster. My heart raced and broke just as strongly in WD as it did in BD, despite knowing what would happen. If you haven't read either of these books yet, what are you waiting for???

GIVEAWAY and Review: Rules of Entanglement by Gina L Maxwell

**GIVEAWAY at bottom of post***


My Rating: Date Me Now! (4.5 stars) 

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

 Steam Level: Super Hot! 

Combine a Hawaii resort setting, tequila body shots, and one controlling MMA Fighter and you have one sexy read! This books opens up a like a great romantic comedy. When Vanessa’s best friend and Jackson’s sister comes down with and awful stomach virus and can’t make it to Hawaii the week before her wedding to plan it, Jackson and Vanessa are forced to pretend to be the engaged couple in order to appease a wedding planner who ‘refuses’ to work with anyone but the actual bride and groom. This leaves the two in a hilarious and awkward predicament. 

 I love that Vanessa wasn’t a quite push-over. She was sarcastic and outgoing and didn’t let anyone intimidate her. She had an extremely rough childhood and harbors some gut-wrenching secrets, but she doesn’t let it show and has tried her best to put her past behind her and move forward. She does this by creating a set of rules to live by to protect herself and her heart. And then she meets Jackson…who threatens to break every single rule she has… 

Jackson is an incredibly hot mix of contradictions: domineering and easy going, sweet and controlling, Fighter and Surfer. Need I say more???? 

 How I saw Jackson and Vanessa: 

 The chemistry between the two is full blast from the beginning, but I love the slow change in their feelings from dislike to lust to respect to eventually love throughout the story. The sarcastic banter between them had me cracking up multiple times. And boy can Gina Maxwell write a sex scene! WOW! I love stories that contain humor, hot sex, and a strong plot and this book delivered on all three.

There were a few parts that were a little slow; the book covers only one week in time so you get a lot of details. That being said some of the details were delicious! The story does have one of my pet peeves: Lack of communication or the withholding of information is one of the main causes of drama between the hero and heroine. However, I will say that it didn’t bother me nearly as much as usual and the author handled it well. 

 Favorite Quote: “She’d played a game with a dragon and ended up pinned beneath his massive body as he prepared to breathe fire.” 

Overall a fun, hot, quick read that I highly recommend! This was my first book by Gina Maxwell and it definitely won’t be my last!

Review: Grave Bound by T.R. Graves

My Rating: Kiss

Genre: New Adult Romance/Thriller

Steam Level: Warm – Hot

Grave Bound is very hard book for me to rate/review. My feelings ranged from 1 star – 5 stars at different times throughout this story and I finally ended up somewhere in the middle. It is very slow paced, especially in the beginning. When I picked up this book I was looking for something different and unique and it certainly delivered in that aspect. Its premise is something that hasn’t been done before. Emily lives in a patriarchal commune that is ruled by her father. She has never known a life outside of the commune, but when a day of hooky turns into a chance meeting with two outsiders Emily’s life as she knows it begins to unravel and feelings she never thought possible begin to blossom.

The Commune or The Community as they call it grabbed my attention from the beginning, however I felt like there were a lot questions left unanswered. Some of the situations and lifestyles were a bit unbelievable and it was never exactly explained what the community was or why it was formed. And when some of the community secrets were revealed in the end I was left a little…underwhelmed? After all the buildup  I was expecting something a little more, but there is a second book coming out so maybe more information will be revealed at that time.

Emily was a very interesting heroine. While I loved Emily’s personality, I didn’t really understand how she turned out to be so outgoing, strong willed, and a little spit fire with the circumstances of her upbringing. Her dialogue also bothered me, it felt very redneck and uneducated (and that’s saying a lot coming from me who was raised in Alabama) and it was also inconsistent. She spoke with this very country accent but it didn’t transfer over to her thoughts or inner monologues. She was prone to overreacting and had NO patience.

Levi was definitely a swoon-worthy alpha male, almost too perfect! I’m not usually a fan on insta-love and this book was no different. The connection between Levi and Emliy came on too sudden and too perfectly for me to feel the chemistry between them, at least at first. But by the end I had warmed up to the connection between them, however they had only known each other all of about 2 or 3 weeks.

My favorite part of this book? The ending! The pace and writing really picked up in the last third or so of this story as the plot started to come together. And the last chapter or so? Holy crap, I never saw that ending coming! Obviously I can’t say more than that because I don’t want to spoil anything, but I will say it was heart-stopping, gut-wrenching, and will leave you hanging! But don’t worry, the second book Under-Ground will be released sometime the summer.

This book is full of friction, sexual tension, and danger. If you’re looking for a unique and jaw dropping premise that has a little romance mixed in then you should add this on to you TBR.

Question: What is the most emotional book scene you've ever read in a book and how did you react to it?

Answer:

I've have been racking brain thinking of a book this I got emotional about and then I found it hopeless. I don't want to spoil it but when she finds out about her past. Aaah I remember that day my boyfriend took me out to one of his family dinners he had been trying to get me to for ages. I was bored half way threw the meal so I took out my phone (have the kindle app on it). I read that science and I started bursting in to tear like literally in the middle of dinner I swear like the hole table thought I was crazy. My boyfriends mother trout it was because she said that the food wasn't nice in the restaurant.... Loool way to make a first impression she still thinks I'm crazy.

Another time was when I read the ending of consequences . I was so mad and shocked I threw my kindle across the library .... Well it broke .... And I got banned from the library for two weeks. The school as thought I was crazy and recommend me to see the school therapist!!
