Kitty's Book Spot!

Sally AKA "Spitz" to most, is best friends with Becks.  They have been close since they were young children.  Too bad he has no idea she has been in love with him the whole time.  It is an unlikely pair, as he is the hottest guy in school, and she is a well known geek. Baldwin AKA "Becks" is very glad to be Sally's best friend.  He has secrets of his own he has not shared.  When she asks him a favor, he has no problem saying yes.  Will it get even more complicated when the whole school finds out? This was such an amazing story.  I found the characters to be rather deep and compelling.  I was absolutely enthralled and did not put the book down until I had read the entire thing.  Then I wanted to read it again.  This was a new author for me - but you can bet I will read all her works now.  I give this read a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for an honest review, by Netgalley and its publishe...

This is book #3, in the To All The Boys I've Loved Before series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order. Lara Jean' story continues in this book with her deciding where to go to college.  She has so much going on with finishing her senior year in high school, planning a wedding, and figuring out where she stands with Peter and other boys in her life. Peter just wants to enjoy being with Lara Jean.  He wants to hear words of forever and always.  While they are having to decide where they stand as a couple and what they will do for school, there are outside commentaries that seem to effect the status quo. This last installment in the series made me want to beg the author for just one more book.  I love the characters.  I have grown to love their families, the community, and I am so grateful to have taken the time to get to know these characte...

Jason moves to New Orleans wanting a new start.  The encounter he had before leaving his old place was reminding him he should make the most of it.  Here in NOLA, he has made new friends and found a new purpose. Varic is the prince that he was told of.  Meeting him in person puts Jason on the edge.  He is wary, skeptical, and seriously attracted to him.  What kind of future would he have with a royal vampire? This book quickly heats and is very fast paced.  I read it on its book birthday, since it had been in my TBR and I was curious.  I devoured each page and could not wait to finish.  This author never disappoints.  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

This is book #3, in the McCade Brothers series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order. Logan is exhausted and arrives at his best friend's wedding knowing he needs a vacation.  Then he finds out his role in the wedding just get larger.  Can he help with the sister of the groom?  Sure..... just as soon as he finds out who the hot chick is that he saw in the lobby. Sophie has been making changes.  Her "new" self is going to be more assertive, and certainly more svelte.  Sophie has always kind of had a crush on Logan.  So when he asks her along on his adventures, she feels a pull there to be with him. These characters are so much fun to read.  There is much laughter, and lots of heat.  I found this story really packed a punch.  Each MC brought something that made this story just that much more.  Such a great addition...
