“It is a hopeless feeling to watch the people you love go through tough times with nothing to do but hope they’ll accept whatever support you offer.” ―The Assist by Rebecca Jenshak (Book #1, Smart Jocks)   

Frenemies

Wren and Fuller have history.  That's right, and not the good kind either.  Wren had been hurt repeatedly by being treated so poorly by the "in" crowd, of which Fuller is the leader, basically. Fuller is getting into some trouble academically.  His coach has a plan - but does not want anyone to know.  So Fuller treats it as he is interested in Wren, instead.  Little does he know how much truth is like fiction. This was such an amazing story!  I had never read this author's work before, but you can bet I will again.  I hope we revisit this group at this school.  There seems like a lot of potential for a series here.  I loved the banter, and even how enemies were able to become friends.  I found the story very compelling.  Deeper characters than meets the eye, it was a rich read with a lot more to it than originally thought.  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was give in exchange for an ho...

This is book #2, in the Girls Of Summer series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  To avoid spoilers, and to completely understand the series, I recommend reading these in order. Rachel is ok with being set up on a blind date.  She is used to coming in second.  She is used to being the backup.  When she explains this to Adam, however, he proposes something different that she knows will end up the same. Adam is ready for a change.  Or is he?  His ex is always near and he needs to really be done with her.  Maybe being with Rachel is the answer.  Can he be who she needs when it is a critical time for her? This book felt like a slow burn.  It took a bit for me to feel like it got started.  I was patient since I really loved the first book in this  amazing series ,  There were little cameos of the characters I had already come to love.  I cannot wait for the next installment.  I like the w...

This is book #2, in the Smart Jocks series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this great series in order. Katrina is completely thankful that such a hot jock asks her out each week.  Is it crazy that she enjoys it?  It makes her feel pretty and helps her make it through.  When he really wants to take her out, what will she say? Joel has wanted to take Katrina out since the very first time he asked her out.  The past and how they are both hurt definitely makes a difference on how they approach dating.  He never gives up and hopefully one day soon...... Such a great addition to an already very charming and yet sexy series.  The characters were just perfect for one another.  Even with such sensitive subjects discussed, I enjoyed and really devoured each page.  I am seriously eager for the next installment.  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws...

The heart everyone assumes is frozen over. Her anger is...arousing. Every glare from those fire-spitting eyes, every time she grits her teeth, gets me...well, you know. If I had a dollar for every time she's put me in my place, I'd be an even richer man. I'm a successful sports agent because I assume "no" means you'll think about it. I'm sure what you meant to say is "Coming right up.” They say even rich men don't always get what they want, but those men don't know how to play the game. The trick is to keep ...

Release Blitz - In This Breeze

    Title: In This Breeze Series: Lakeshore University #1 Author: Kathleen Maree Genre: NA Romance Release Date: August 24, 2017       A nerd. A quiet art student. A nobody.    Or perhaps, just some girl.    These are the non-spoken titles I was known as since I started at Lake Shore Uni almost two years ago now. When given the chance to leave my horrific childhood behind - I didn’t hesitate. In fact, I was ecstatic to have the door hit me on the ass on my way out of town; because the only two things I actually loved in my traumatic life…    Were coming with me.   And whilst the three of us shared the same beat-up truck when we moved here – that’s where the similarities unfortunately end.    Ethan ‘The Mule’ Jones, is kind of a super star on campus. Everywhere he goes he seems to draw attention. I guess that’s what happens when you’re headlining p...

Breanna is best friends with Ethan and Jason.  Though to her, they are just Eth and Jase.  She tends to have all sorts of nicknames they come up with.  Bree and Breezy as the most common.  She doesn't really care.  She is just glad to have such good friends. Eth has been in love with Bree and does not know how to tell her.  They do everything together.  He cannot imagine a world without her in it.   Jase lives a much harder life.  Things do not always go his way.  He is afraid of the danger his life could bring to her.  He knows he must separate himself before something goes wrong. This story is a deep and compelling tale of young love, mixed choices, and consequences that can happen.  It is a start to the  Lake Shore University series  that jumps right out of the gate with a bang or two to get you going!  I am eagerly awaiting the next title.  This is character angst that I cannot wait to ...
