BOOK BLURB:
What do you do when the town golden boy, who never noticed you in high school, decides to make a play for your heart?
For Minka Braxton, high school has been anything but easy. After a humiliating scandal sophomore year, she’s avoided the social scene and anything having to do with boys, especially of the popular variety. But with senior year approaching, Minka decides it’s time to take life back into her own hands. That is, until Owen Axel, the type of guy she’s always avoided, decides he wants her in his hands.
Owen Axel is the definition of popular. Good looks, all-star worthy pitching arm and a former pro-athlete father make him Mitchum’s town God. Returning from college for the summer, his plan is simple. Beach, booze, and beautiful girls. But one look at Minka Braxton and he knows what he wants. He just doesn’t count on her not wanting him.
As the summer unfolds, both must decide how much to reveal, how deep they should fall, and what might happen if they strike out.
My Thoughts <3
Minka and Owen’s story is almost like reading about a battle. Minka vows to not give in to popular Owen’s sexy and sweet charm while on the flip side Owen vows to show Minka just how much he cannot get her off of her mind. With so much baggage, can the golden boy and the jaded girl end up being more?
So, I might have swooned a bit in this book. Owen has such a unique charm that makes it hard not to completely fall for him and his interactions with his close friends and Minka just makes him so freaking hot. The story in general was well thought out and created great characters, which HINT HINT will be in the next couple of books as well. I freaking love that. All in all this was a wonderful read about overcoming insecurities and forgiveness!
BOOK BLURB:
After a lifetime of neglect and sorrow, Miles Farriston has hit rock bottom after his lying ex-girlfriend proves that no one in his life sticks around. On the outs with his friends, in jeopardy of losing his baseball career and this close to getting kicked out of Kappa Eta Sigma, Miles is forced to compete in the Greek Life dance competition. What he didn’t bank on was getting bright, cheery Chloe Trabucco as a partner.
Ballet, friends and her sorority. The only three things Chloe Trabucco wants to focus on and excel at. So when she is asked to compete, as a freshman, in the popular Greek dance competition, she couldn’t be happier. That is, until she learns Miles is her partner. The same Miles she’s had a huge crush on for half of her life, and the same guy who made it clear more than a year ago that he wants nothing to do with her.
Her positivity and patience annoy him. His attitude and anger finally drive her to the breaking point. Can they hit a home run, both on and off the dance floor, or will they go down swinging?
My Thoughts <3
Miles is a complete douche in the beginning of this book, seriously he treats his friends awful and takes it mostly out on bright eyed Chloe who has had a crush on him for years. When the two are forced to work together, will sparks fly or will it end up breaking one or both of them?
Seriously I 100% disliked Miles in the beginning. Carrie Aarons did a great job of explaining his actions and not just making it ok that he did all of those things because he was hurting. This to me was huge in the story and not just brushing away issues, but sweet Chloe is just the one to help him with it, but also not be a doormat. This book was enemies to lovers like the best of them and it was engaging and hot and sweet and frustrating all at different times. I also loved the story line and how thoughtfully it was created!
BOOK BLURB:
Kelsey O’Brien is the definition of a free spirit. She goes where she wants, when she wants, and takes to bed who she wants. And when she arrives back at Grover University after eight months on an African animal preserve, it’s her newly hunky best friend that has caught her eye. As their friendship turns physical, Kelsey begins to form feelings she swore she’d never have for anyone. But when the past she’s not ready to face finds her, she must make a decision whether to stop running, or confront the truth.
The first time Clint Bellows laid eyes on Kelsey, he fell hard. Too bad she looked right through him. A year and countless hours in the gym later, she’s back and hardly recognizes him and his new body. After a drunken encounter takes them over the line of friendship, Clint agrees to Kelsey’s proposal of a benefits-added relationship. Only he’s playing for keeps, and is willing to round all of the bases trying to score the self-proclaimed gypsy.
She’s running from her demons. He’s committed to winning her over. Can he catch her in time, or will she be out of his grasp before he can blink?
My Thoughts <3
Kelsey is kind of flaky and a bit self absorbed. She loves sex but definitely has standards. Clint is her BFF and she found herself being able to open up to this amazing and loving man, but only through friendship. When she returns after a year sabbatical she is shocked to find her BFF SUPER HOT and buff and even more shocked to find she is insanely attracted to him. But can the commitment-phobe actually have feelings for the romantic Clint? Read and find out! 😉
This book was so good. I will admit Kelsey was not my favorite person in the beginning, but once you got to know her it makes a lot more sense. Clint from the very beginning was a leading man I could get behind and root for. There is a LOT going on in this book but it was sweet and touching and the chemistry between the two was OFF the freaking charts!
My Thoughts <3
Parker freaking Avery– FINALLY we get his story and why this man is the definitely of a grouchy gus. I loved the other guys in the series, but Parker is definitely leading the pack even with just having a novella. I cannot recommend enough reading this!
