BOOK REVIEW ~ MAYBE SOMEDAY BY COLLEEN HOOVER

Title: Maybe Someday
Author: Colleen Hoover
Publisher: Atria Books
Release Date: March 18, 2014
Genre: New Adult, Romance

ARC provided by NetGalley



At twenty-two years old, aspiring musician Sydney Blake has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her good friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter cheating on her with Tori—and she is left trying to decide what to do next.

Sydney becomes captivated by her mysterious neighbor, Ridge Lawson. She can’t take her eyes off him or stop listening to the daily guitar playing he does out on his balcony. She can feel the harmony and vibrations in his music. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either: He seems to have finally found his muse. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one…

**I love the way Colleen Hoover set the stage for Maybe Someday. It's something that came as a complete surprise to me, so I don't want to put spoilers up to ruin it for other readers. So, this review will be tough to write without giving things away.

Sydney Blake has just found out that her boyfriend is cheating on her--with her roommate. Her devastation has her packing her bags and fleeing the apartment, not making any plans or knowing where the hell she's going. Her abrupt departure leads her to the door of one of her neighbors--the cute guy she has seen from her balcony. Although they have never talked face to face, she has studied him from beneath her lashes and watches him as he plays his guitar.

Ridge Lawson cannot help but notice his beautiful neighbor, Sydney. And through texts, they discover each other's passion for music. But when Sydney has no place to go after the harsh break-up with her boyfriend, Ridge offers her a place to stay.

Through their connection of music, Ridge and Sydney grow closer. But there is only one problem---and it's a biggie--Ridge is already involved with another girl. One he refuses to  hurt, one he cares deeply about.

Sydney refuses to be the other girl. She knows the hurt, the devastation that follows with that kind of choice. And she refuses to hurt Maggie, Ridge's unsuspecting girlfriend.

Colleen Hoover is brilliant in crafting a story that makes you feel the emotions and pain experienced by her characters. And Ridge and Sydney's story is one that tugged at my heart strings. Some readers may find offence in what Ridge and Sydney struggle with--and view it as cheating. But their connection isn't about just the physical attraction. It's a deeper, emotional connection--and one that they fight so damn hard to prevent. And I think that Colleen Hoover presented both sides well and showed how their feelings ran deeper that just a few minutes of physical pleasure.

Maybe Someday is ultimately finding that person you are meant to be with--it just may not be the right time in your life. And maybe, someday....the two people that are meant to be together will find their way back to each other again.

Book Blurb 

Nova Reed can't forget him-Quinton Carter, the boy with the honey-brown eyes who made her realize she deserved more than an empty life. His pain was so similar to her own. But Nova has been coming to terms with her past and healing, while Quinton is out there somewhere, sinking deeper. She's determined to find him and help him . . . before it's too late.

Nova has haunted his dreams for nearly a year-but Quinton never thought a sweet, kind person like her would care enough about a person like him. To Quinton, a dark, dangerous life is exactly what he deserves. And Nova has no place in it. But Nova has followed him to Las Vegas, and now he must do whatever it takes to keep her away, to maintain his self-imposed punishment for the unforgivable things he's done. But there's one flaw in his plan: Nova isn't going anywhere . . .

Book Review


Saving Quinton was a very disturbing and difficult read. Not something that gives one the warm fuzzies to be sure.

But Jessica Sorensen captures a compelling story -- one that sucks you into the dark world of hopelessness, guilt, and pain. I had to come up for air after beginning Quinton's fall into darkness. There were times when I felt like my head was barely above the surface and I was struggling against a tumultuous riptide, threatening to pull me under.

If you haven't read the first book, Breaking Nova, you will be missing a vital piece to this saga. Nova Reed has suffered great pain in her young life. She has watched her father die, feeling utterly helpless, as he suffered a fatal heart attack. Then, her boyfriend, Landon, commits suicide--with Nova finding his body after hanging himself.

The heartache and pain is palpable in Sorensen's tragic tale. And when Nova meets Quinton Carter, she spirals further down into hell. Nova turns to drugs to numb herself from the emotional pain and grief that overwhelms her. Theirs is a dysfunctional relationship--tainted with drugs. Both Quinton and Nova escaping emotions they cannot face. Despite everything, they connect. And when they are together, they provide a ray of light amid the darkness.

But in the end of Breaking Nova, Nova manages to realize that she is sliding down into a world that she doesn't want to be a part of. She discovers that she wants to live. She is better than what she has become.

At the beginning of Saving Quinton, Nova hasn't seen Quinton in almost a year, but he has never left her thoughts. She wants to help him--save him--like she was unable to save her boyfriend. She feels a connection to Quinton and understands that he his covering up his pain with drugs. When she finds out that he is in Las Vegas,she makes plans to go there and reach out to him--before it becomes too late.

What she finds is a hard pill to swallow. Not only is Quinton using meth--but he is involved with individuals that are dangerous. Living in filth and wasting away, Quinton is slowing trying to kill himself. He feels he deserves the direction his life has taken. He is a junkie. A loser. No one.

Since surviving the horrific car accident that kills his cousin and his girlfriend, Quinton's drug use has gotten worse. Moving from marijuana, to crystal meth, to being almost continuously high. Unable to face reality. Unable to face his emotions. Unable to deal with his guilt.

But when Nova shows up and reaches out to him, he starts to feel things. Things he has tried to suppress. He doesn't deserve what Nova is trying to offer him. He doesn't want to feel all the emotions that being with Nova make him feel.

Finally at the breaking point, Nova leaves Las Vegas, after her mother comes to retrieve her. And once again, Nova feels she has failed to help the ones she loves.

But how can you help someone who doesn't want to be helped? Who only wants to die and have the guilt he suffers from every day finally end?

Saving Quinton is a tragic tale filled with horrific images of drug use and is in no way a pleasant read. And Jessica Sorensen  doesn't try to paint it with pretty colors and beautify the life of a junkie. It's harsh, real, and painful. And despite its sharp edges and grisly descriptions, I could not stop reading. It made me appreciate the good in my life. It made my cry in empathy of what both Nova and Quinton had to endure. And although I felt spent after reading the last page, I felt better for reading it.

Book Three, No Regrets, is expected to release April 15. And I am hoping for a touching, yet satisfying conclusion to Nova and Quinton's tumultuous journey.

Book Blurb


He left to travel the world for fame and glory, but only after spurning Gabby Ward and crushing her young heart. Now Hunter Markham has come back home to the sand and salty breeze of the North Carolina Outer Banks so he can open up Last Call, a beach bar nestled among the dunes of the Atlantic.

Gabby Ward is not happy that Hunter has returned. Bitter over his rebuff years before, she’s content to stay far away from him and his dangerously charming ways.

Gabby’s well-schemed plans to ignore Hunter go up in flames when he presents an offer to her that she simply can’t refuse, throwing them together in a common quest to each reach their goals. Working together day in and day out proves to be problematic for Gabby, who soon realizes that the feelings she had for him are still very much alive. Hunter struggles to reach through to Gabby’s cold heart, all while starting a new career away from his life as a top ranked, professional surfer.

What starts out as a mutual business arrangement soon turns into a passion that neither of them can continue to deny.

Hard choices lay ahead for both of them when Hunter is offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to return to the pro surfing tour.

Choices that could destroy what they have built or take them further than they ever had dared to hope.

Book Review

Gabby Ward grew up in a small town on the Outer Banks, along with her best friend, Casey Markham. After graduation, Casey's older brother and best friend, are the DD's for the recent grads as they get the drunk on. But the night turns Gabby's world upside down as she takes matters into her own hands and kisses Hunter Markham--her childhood crush. 

Hunter cannot believe his sister's best friend has just laid a lip lock on him. A kiss like no other he has received. It leaves him stunned, turned on, and disgusted with himself. He looks at her like a little sister. Granted, Gabby has grown up some, her body not in any way like a little girl. But he refuses to let the sizzling, hot kiss change things between them. 

Gabby mistakes Hunter's look of disgust for one toward her and just like that--her feelings for Hunter are flipped to one of hurt and anger. She will not let him how much his reaction has devastated her. And each time she runs into him over the next several years (although not often), she treats him with disdain.

Even though her heart never truly got over him.  

Hunter has spent several years traveling the globe as he sought to be the world's top surfer. But when Hunter's twin brother, Brody, gets out of prison, he returns to his coastal hometown and buys a local bar--Last Call. 

Gabby is now running her father's construction company and has put in a bid to do the revamping of Hunter's bar. She knows that if she gets the job, it will put her in direct contact with Hunter Markham. But she has her shields in place and there is no way she will fall for him this time around. 

But things are just as heated between the two now that they have matured and grown over the years. With their friendship recently mended, will Gabby take another chance at a possible relationship with Hunter when he makes his feelings known? 

I love the feel of the small coastal town on the Outer Banks. Being a NC gal myself, I felt right at home. There were also many other layers in the story--one very complex story with Brody Markham. He has been in prison for the last five years. He is aloof, moody, and going through a very difficult time adjusting to life on the outside once more. But the reader can get a sense of sparks and something developing between Brody and Alyssa. I cannot wait to see what happens next in this series with these two.  

Bennett has written an engaging tale with great characters and set it against one of my favorite places in the world--the beach. The story was lined with tension and heat guaranteed to make you wish for own tan, sexy, surfer and long, romantic walks along the beach. It definitely made me reminiscent of my own home town and the carefree days of summer. 

Last Call is a promising start to a pulse-pounding, addictive read.

BOOK REVIEW ~ THIRD DEGREE BY JULIE CROSS

Title: Third Degree
Author: Julie Cross
Publisher: Flirt
Expected Release Date: March 25, 2014
Genre: New Adult, Romance, Contemporary
eBook, 240 pages

ARC provided by NetGalley


Book Blurb

Fans of Monica Murphy and Tammara Webber will savor this New Adult novel—a story about coming of age in the heat of the moment—from Julie Cross, the internationally bestselling author of the Tempest trilogy.

I used to be “Isabel Jenkins, child prodigy.” As lame as that sounds, at least it was an identity. But now I’m not sure what I am. I just failed the most important exam of my life—the emotional readiness test required to get into a medical residency program—and it turns out my parents can’t stand each other. Now I’m trying to figure out how to pick up the pieces of my life, and that means re-enrolling as a college freshman, but this time I’m shutting the books and majoring in being eighteen.

But so far, my roommate hates me and I’m not into the party scene. The only good thing about school has been getting to know my insanely hot RA. Marshall Collins makes me wonder about everything I missed while I was growing up too fast. Pretty soon we’re hanging out constantly, but for the first time, I find myself wanting more than a no-strings-attached physical relationship. And the lesson I really need is one Marsh definitely can’t teach me: love. Because I’m going to be alone forever if I don’t learn fast.

Book Review


This is my first Julie Cross book. And it will not be my last.

Isabel Jenkins is a character that is hard to warm up to at first. She is an intern with a brilliant mind. One that recall minute details the rest of us "normal" people cannot. She is a gifted diagnostician, able to put the medical pieces of a puzzle together and diagnose a person's medical condition. She is confident she will get into her hospital of choice, John Hopkins, for her residency.

But after Isabel fails the psych evaluation portion of her internship, she finds out that no hospital wants her.

Shuffled from foster home to foster home shortly after her birth, Isabel is adopted at age five by loving parents. Her father is a skilled cardiothoracic surgeon, her mother a biology teacher. All her life, Isabel has never formed any personal attachments or experienced the normal milestones that a typical teen faces. So her recent denial into any residency program has left her afloat for the next six months before she can re-take her psych evaluation.

Isabel decides to re-enroll in college to experience all the milestones she missed out on. But the adjustment is hard--disconcerting-as she tries to "loosen up" and act like an eighteen year old. She doesn't know how to act around her peers and she flounders as a freshmen. But the RA at her dorm, Marshall Collins, doesn't seem to mind her brainy banter or her awkwardness.

Marshall is determined for Isabel to experience all college life has to offer: creating a fake ID, cheating on a test, drinking alcohol, etc. He creates a curriculum filled with lessons to help Isabel develop an understanding of what it means to be young. And along the way, the two friends become more intimate--something Isabel has never been with anyone.

More importantly, Marshall teaches her the meaning of love.

Third Degree does throw out a lot of medical jargon, but coming from a nursing background, I felt right at home. I loved reading about Isabel as she struggled with her pent-up emotions, recognized that medicine is more than just scientific data, and realized that emotions are permitted--all of it kept me glued to the page.

And Marshall, who was dealing with his own secret, was a character you could laugh with, cry with, and fight with. He made my heart hurt. His courage and strength was amazing, his vulnerability tear-jerking. Third Degree is sexy, poignant, humorous, and real.

BOOK REVIEW ~ SONG OF THE FIREFLIES BY J.A. REDMERSKI

Book Blurb

New York Times bestselling author J.A. Redmerski brings us a stunning and heart-wrenching new novel about a couple who find each other in their darkest moment. 

Since they were kids, Elias Kline and Brayelle Bates have been inseparable. When Bray moves to South Carolina, separating the two for the first time, they both at last realize that their innocent childhood friendship has developed into something much more. So when Bray finally returns to Georgia—and to Elias—things between them couldn’t be more perfect…until one fateful night changes everything.

Desperate not to go to prison for a terrible accident, Elias and Bray decide to run. As they try to make the most of their freedom, the two find themselves relying on a rebellious group of people who tempt the duo into a wild and daring new life. But they can’t run from their troubles forever.

As the consequences of their past catch up to them, the couple must finally face reality. Even if they can make it through the unimaginable, Elias knows the truth about Bray’s painful history, and in the end he may not be able to save Bray from herself…

Book Review


What I love about J.A. Redmerski's books is the fact that she writes with a brutal honesty -- flawed characters faced with circumstances that are a little on the edge. If I want a heaping pile of angst and a gritty story, I know I will find it in her stories.

Song of the Fireflies is told from both Elias and Brayelle's point of view. It is a story of two best friends who become intimately involved. Eli loves Bray, will do anything for her, but Bray is afraid that having a serious relationship with her best friend will ultimately destroy the bond they have. If they break up, she will lose the best friend she has always relied on. So, Bray crushes Eli's heart and leaves him.

Fast forward a couple of years--Bray returns and both decide to give it another try.

Songs of the Fireflies deals with a lot of dark themes. Things that some people will find offensive. But real life is not tied up in some pretty package. People experience real problems. And Redmerski gives her characters some hard shit to deal with: depression, bipolar disorder, drug use. All of which make the current situation Bray and Eli find themselves thrown into more problematic.

With Brayelle and Eli on the run.

Reading Songs of the Fireflies is like watching a horrible train wreck with a black cloud of doom hanging over Eli and Brayelle--as they struggle to survive one shit storm after another. I'm not sure if I loved it or hated it, to be quite honest. It's a hard read. Brayelle and Eli's love is almost toxic and I felt like I was put through an emotional ringer.

This is a dark, angsty, read that you have to be in the mood for, or you'll be sorely disappointed.

Book Excerpt

Unable to stop herself, she opened what he called accounts receivable, jumping back when more papers poured out onto the floor. “You never thought of using a file folder?”

“I thought about it.” He picked up the papers, forced them back inside the cabinet and kicked the drawer closed as if trapping an animal. 

“Out of curiosity, what happened to that thought?” 

“I knew I wouldn’t do it, so I just kept this system.” 

“At least you didn’t set yourself up for failure.” 

“Exactly.” He furrowed his brow and turned away from the cabinet. 

“What have you done in the past to file your tax returns?” If he said he guessed, no doubt a vein in her brain would blow. 

“I estimated with my old accountant.” 

She moved her hand to her temple, pushing her vein back in. “You had an accountant?” 

“Yep, he’s out of business now and relocated.” 

Speechless, she paced for a moment. Part of her wanted to dig into the cabinet, tear it apart and take over. Another part of her wanted to run and tell him she didn’t sign up for this. This wasn’t her, not anymore. She was a corporate accountant who didn’t take on homespun businesses. And she didn’t play with bad boys because they were bad. She shoved her pencil in her mouth and spun back to face her new nemesis, the filing cabinet of horrors. 

His phone rang. “Is the car fixed? Yeah, I know it’s only been a few minutes.” 

All she needed was a strategy. When she observed his bill paying attempts, she knew this wouldn’t be an outpatient job. But this wasn’t her, she shouldn’t be there, and she stomped her foot. 

While Shane talked about her car, she crept over to the cabinet and opened the top drawer. 

More papers and a shoebox greeted her. She chewed her lip, and unable to stand the suspense she knocked the lid off the box. 

For at least a full minute she stared at the contents while the shudder running down her backbone subsided. She bit the end of her pencil hard and the eraser came off in her mouth. 

“If you’re hungry, we can go down to Pete’s and get some rations.” Shane returned and took the pencil. With a fast examination of the writing tool he held his hand out. 

She spit the eraser into his palm and covered her eyes. Was there nothing she wouldn’t do in front of the man to embarrass herself? She sucked in a breath when he glanced down at the eraser, tilted his head and popped it in his own mouth. 

He chewed a moment, nodded and swallowed. “I think I would rather have some sushi.”
