The Misfit by J.L. Beck

This one is full of mental health issues, and I could see myself in them. It was hard to read at parts, but more so than not it was a great read. We find Salem with so many issues suffering because her friend died. We find Lee also suffering, and fighting again himself and his family.  I loved the two of them together. He brought her back to life. She loved him, but he didn’t love himself. This book had a lot of bullying, depression, and crippling anxiety, but it was also hopeful. It was a beautiful story.

I loved this one!  The story and the descriptive scenes put you right there with the characters! Dalton was young, but you could tell he was right where he thought he should be. Camille lost her husband, and was struggling to live on the mountain they shared together.  Dalton steps in to help her. Send in some bad people threatening their home. It’s a fight, and they won’t back down. I loved the little ones & Pops too!

This book was sad, funny, and full of steam. It was full of angst as Sailor healed, but it didn’t take her long to fall in love with her stalker. Zander was there before the book started. He was perfect. He cared about all living things.  I loved this book!

My Review THIS BOOK!!! It is so dark… I AM LOVING IT! More to come… loving Rabbit & Madness! I have no more words! This book was craziness off the charts. I loved to see them work together. I loved that Priest made decisions that the others couldn’t. The minute you think know what’s going on… it changes. This book was so good!

Wow… there are enough words to describe how Mrs. Darling’s scorching scenes. The angst was off the charts. Plus Savannah was from Alabama!!! (I’m from Alabama… where’s my trip to London to meet Sebastian?😉)

That ending broke me… the cliffhanger had me in tears. Sebastian seemed so much the dreamer. Sometimes his head was in the cloud. He fell so hard and fast in love with them. Adam seemed so lost at times, and Savannah seemed selfish… I can’t wait for more!

This author is EVERYTHING! Her books have so many adorable, heartfelt, and steamy moments.  She put her spin on a “Dirty Dancing” story! I love that movie. I can’t tell you the number of times I watched it, and wanted my “Johnny” to sweep me off my feet. Yes I am a child of the 80s! 

I want to be Eve. She is funny, and so ready to take on the world.  Her parents have my house my rules vibe, and totally don’t see how great she is! They only care about their image. Kyle is sexy and he falls for her because of his son. Little Josh stole the scene every time he’s mentioned. She falls in love with him first. Let me tell you… how their romance was outed… I never seen that one coming. I was holding my breath. After that, I cried my eyes out. Be prepared for tears they will be your companion. The ending though it was perfect!

I absolutely loved this series! These brothers built something amazing. They made each other family, and pulled together through the good times and the dark times. I wanted Ransom’s story from the beginning, but it totally makes sense to wrap up with his. This story was funny, but also had angst that pulled at my heart strings hard! If you haven’t read the other books, go get them! You will not be disappointed!

I loved this one! Paige was scared that she could never count on anyone. I loved that Nate decided to prove it. This had angst with him falling in love first. It was funny & sweet.

At every turn of the page, I was holding my breath. This trilogy was excellent. It was filled with angst & danger.  I love age gap relationships especially teacher/student ones. Anne and her Professor had to fight every step of the way for their relationship. I hate for it to be over. This author is a master of taboo!

This one… oh my… Boston is completely unhinged. I loved it! Enzo & his little bride were everything you want in a romance. He was over the top possessive (my favorite), and she was determined to find some way to prove him wrong. The ending was wild! Believe me this one was crazy good!
