Review:

As I flipped the last page, all I could think about was “WHAT THE HELL?! I WANT MORE!”
I finished this book in one-sitting. Needless I say this book was captivating, I mean hello this is Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher, duh. It was fast-paced, thrilling, compelling, romantic and keeping you glued to it looking for an answer.

This book was written from two characters’ point of view (Colleen Hoover wrote Silas’ POV and Tarryn Fishner wrote Charlie’s POV). It starts with Charlie who finds herself with no memories. She doesn’t remember her name, where she is, what she is doing, or how she looks like. Turns out the same thing happens with Silas. They  seem to be in love with each other but they don’t remember anything about it. And then together they try to find out what has happened to them, how can they black out and lost their memories.

I wasn’t able to put it down, lost in Charlie and Silas’ journey to find their answers. There’s romance in it, and oh Silas, Silas, Silas. I think I’m in love with you. Well, I’m in love with all of CoHo’s characters anyway, so *shrugs*. 


It left you with cliffhanger, the whole book doesn't even contain the whole plot, I guess. But that’s what makes it interesting.  It left you wanting more and I cant wait for the next book.

Ugly Love - Colleen Hoover (Review)

Title: Ugly Love
Author: Colleen Hoover
Genres: New Adult, Romance, Contemporary
Synopsis:  
When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.

Never ask about the past.
Don’t expect a future.

They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.

Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly.

Review:

A heart wrenching love story that will bring you to see the ugliest part of love. I’ve only read one other book from Colleen Hoover, Maybe Someday, and I love that immediately. And this book did not disappoint me. I read it in one day, that says a lot about how unable I was to put it down.

I love how effortless it was for me to relate to the characters’ feelings. It’s like I was there, I was inside Tate’s mind, I was inside Miles’ mind, I felt their pains, their struggles, especially for Miles. His past that keeps me drawn to this book. I wanted to know what happed to him, what made him this sad, and who was Rachel, and what she did to him. 

“At first, I think he’s about to get sick, but then I realize how incredibly wrong I am.
He’s not sick.
He’s crying.
Hard.
So hard he isn’t even making a sound.
I don’t even know the guy, but the obvious devastation he’s experiencing is difficult to witness.”

“He’s crying.
Miles Archer is crying.
It’s the same heart-wrenching cry that came from him the night I met him.
This grown man, this wall of intimidation, this solid veil of armor, he’s completely crumbling right
in front of my eyes”

“I suppose if a man lived through the ugliest side of love, he might never want to experience it again.”
 
And when those answers were revealed it broke my heart a million pieces more. There's that time when I want to walk right into the book and swoop Miles into my arms and tell him everything's going to be okay.

I love how Rachel got a say even just for one chapter it tightens the loose end pretty well.

The other thing that makes this book perfect is the steamy scenes. Oh boy aren't they steamy.

It's nice to see how everything comes together for every characters. I just love how this book played with my emotion.

If you know me, or if you follow me on instagram, you maybe know already that I have a huge obsession over Rachel Vincent's book. Not kidding.

Lion’s Share by Rachel Vincent 
(Wildcats #1) 

Publication date: February 23rd 2015
Genres: New Adult, Paranormal


Synopsis:
Abby Wade has a dangerous secret.
Two months ago, she disobeyed an order, but instead of kicking her out of the Pride, Jace offered her a job. Since then, she’s been battling a completely inappropriate crush on the young, hot Alpha. But when accepting his job offer seems like the only way to keep her skeletons safely in their closet, Abby doesn’t hesitate.
Jace Hammond has a big problem.
A rogue is slaughtering humans in his territory, and he must eliminate the threat before the entire shifter species is exposed. There could not be a worse time for Abby to accept a job he only offered as a boost to her confidence. Abby is smart, beautiful, and resilient—more than enough to distract any man from the mission. Unfortunately, she may just be the worst enforcer ever to hold the title.
As they hunt the killer, Abby’s secret becomes a threat to Jace’s authority and to her own life. But the real danger is the grip she has on his twice-shy heart.
