Review: Losing It by Cora Cormack

Title: Losing It Author: Cora Cormack Purchase: Amazon ~ Kindle Rating: ☆☆ SYNOPSIS: Virginity. Bliss Edwards is about to graduate from college and still has hers. Sick of being the only virgin among her friends, she decides the best way to deal with the problem is to lose it as quickly and simply as possible– a one-night stand. But her plan turns out to be anything but simple when she freaks out and leaves a gorgeous guy alone and naked in her bed with an excuse that no one with half-a-brain would ever believe. And as if that weren’t embarrassing enough, when she arrives for her first class of her last college semester, she recognizes her new theatre professor. She’d left him naked in her bed about 8 hours earlier. I’m normally really generous about giving decent ratings. This is probably the first book this year that has received such a low rating from me. I loved the idea of this book. We all just love a good teacher-student romance. This book and it’s story line didn’t really feel

Updates!!!

Alright guys! I have some new updates coming along. I have a full-time and part-time job now. Meaning, I’ll have less time to read. Which also means less time for my blog. I will still be doing reviews for every book I read. I probably won’t accept anymore review requests unless it’s from a book I really want to read. I won’t post monthly book hauls anymore. I will still post all of the books I own on my bookshelf page. You can find that HERE . I may or may not post my monthly wrap ups anymore. Like I said, I may not have the time. But you can always see what I am reading on the right side of my blog with the Goodreads application. ALSO, sadly, no more giveaways. I currently do not have the funds to continue doing them. I may bring them back in the future. I really hope that everyone still sticks around even with these changes.

Review: Until Friday Night by Abbi Glines

Title: Until Friday Night Author: Abbi Glines Purchase: Amazon ~ Kindle Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ SYNOPSIS: To everyone who knows him, West Ashby has always been that guy: the cocky, popular, way-too-handsome-for-his-own-good football god who led Lawton High to the state championships. But while West may be Big Man on Campus on the outside, on the inside he’s battling the grief that comes with watching his father slowly die of cancer. Two years ago, Maggie Carleton’s life fell apart when her father murdered her mother. And after she told the police what happened, she stopped speaking and hasn’t spoken since. Even the move to Lawton, Alabama, couldn’t draw Maggie back out. So she stayed quiet, keeping her sorrow and her fractured heart hidden away. As West’s pain becomes too much to handle, he knows he needs to talk to someone about his father—so in the dark shadows of a post-game party, he opens up to the one girl who he knows won’t tell anyone else.

Title: Crown Of Lies Author: Pepper Winters Purchase: Amazon ~ Kindle Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ Synopsis: “I met the man I wanted. But then he vanished, and a new man claimed me instead. My father approved, my colleagues congratulated, and behind closed doors, I was bedded by a stranger.” Noelle Charlston lives a fairy-tale life: a doting father, a powerful job, and a future blessed with financial security. However, two meetings with two men changes her happy existence forever. First, she meets the man who makes her heart sing. Three years later, she meets the man who makes her blood quiver. Broken-hearted from a teenage romance, Noelle’s freedom is no longer hers. It belongs to the stranger her father believes is her perfect match. The stranger who pulls his lies over everyone he touches. Including her. Seduced and manipulated, Noelle gives into the mysterious Penn Everett. The lies he spins, the truth he hides, the mystery he weaves—it’s all enough to slowly erode the woman she is and turn her

Title: 10 Things I Can See From Here Author: Carrie Mac Purchase: Amazon ~ Kindle Rating: ☆☆ SYNOPSIS: Think positive. Don’t worry; be happy. Keep calm and carry on. Maeve has heard it all before. She’s been struggling with severe anxiety for a long time, and as much as she wishes it was something she could just talk herself out of, it’s not. She constantly imagines the worst, composes obituaries in her head, and is always ready for things to fall apart. To add to her troubles, her mom—the only one who really gets what Maeve goes through—is leaving for six months, so Maeve will be sent to live with her dad in Vancouver. Vancouver brings a slew of new worries, but Maeve finds brief moments of calm (as well as even more worries) with Salix, a local girl who doesn’t seem to worry about anything. Between her dad’s wavering sobriety, her very pregnant stepmom insisting on a home birth, and her bumbling courtship with Salix, this summer brings more catastrophes than even Maeve could have fo
