Play (Stage Dive #2)



19080006Book: Play (Stage Dive #2)
Author: Kylie Scott
Year of Publication: March 25th 2014
Genre: New Adult, Contemporary Romance, music.
Synopsis: Mal Ericson, drummer for the world famous rock band Stage Dive, needs to clean up his image fast—at least for a little while. Having a good girl on his arm should do the job just fine. Mal doesn’t plan on this temporary fix becoming permanent, but he didn’t count on finding the one right girl.

Anne Rollins never thought she’d ever meet the rock god who plastered her teenage bedroom walls—especially not under these circumstances. Anne has money problems. Big ones. But being paid to play the pretend girlfriend to a wild life-of-the-party drummer couldn’t end well. No matter how hot he is. Or could it?
Kylie Scott returns with the highly anticipated follow-up to international bestseller LICK

My Thoughts:
This book was sexy, faced paced and incredibly sweet that swept me of my feet instantly. This book made me fall in love with the main characters from the first page of the book, I loved the witty banter and the sexual tension between the two characters, this book purely rocked.


“They’re mocking us,” I said. “Nonsense. We just fucked so hard we broke your bed. They wish they were us. The natural order of sexual status has been restored.” 


I did not think Kylie Scott could write this book as amazingly as Lick. I was strongly mistaken about that. I think Anne and Mal could have made Eve and David run for their money. I adored their relationship. Anne Rollins was not a very close friend to Eve and yet on a very disasters day she found herself at David Ferris and his wife Eve’s party. She came with Lauren and Nate (Eve’s brother) at the party. At that very same party she meets Malcom Ericson, Stage Dives drummer and also her teenage crush.


“Hands down, that’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard. I can pretty much feel my legs just falling wide open for you right now.” 


descriptionThen on very funny but weird circumstances Mal moved into Anne’s apartment. He helps her out with money and she has to help him out by being his fake girlfriend. Can you imagine how Anne must feel with her teenage crush and also a half-naked rock god living in her apartment and quickly going after her heart? Anne and Mal lived in a life of sin in the department but Mal started to fall in love with Anne, they nearly lost each other by a stupid mistake but like the first book it all ended in a happy ending.

Play is hands down a “go to” book for all those rock star romance junkies. From the beginning of the book I was bewitched by simply how exiting this book follows. There was simply no time in this book to be bored, it was a real page tuner that was really funny and enjoyable. Mal was too funny for that. All the things that came out his dirty mouth where not only hilarious (though, I was close to be rolling on the floor from all the laughing I’ve done) but blazing hot too! It was a real fantastic read and I would recommend it to all those who loves Rock stars and romance books. There was a lot of laugh out loud moments that had me crying with tears that I could not stop laughing. So yeah I’m now totally in love with Mal and Anne.

Don't Look Back



Book: Don't Look Back
Synopsis: Samantha is a stranger in her own life. Until the night she disappeared with her best friend, Cassie, everyone said Sam had it all-popularity, wealth, and a dream boyfriend.

Sam has resurfaced, but she has no recollection of who she was or what happened to her that night. As she tries to piece together her life from before, she realizes it's one she no longer wants any part of. The old Sam took "mean girl" to a whole new level, and it's clear she and Cassie were more like best enemies. Sam is pretty sure that losing her memories is like winning the lottery. She's getting a second chance at being a better daughter, sister, and friend, and she's falling hard for Carson Ortiz, a boy who has always looked out for her-even if the old Sam treated him like trash.

But Cassie is still missing, and the facts about what happened to her that night isn't just buried deep inside of Sam's memory-someone else knows, someone who wants to make sure Sam stays quiet. All Sam wants is the truth, and if she can unlock her clouded memories of that fateful night, she can finally move on. But what if not remembering is the only thing keeping Sam alive?

My Thoughts
This book had me on the edge of my seat, chills running down your spine and you'll feel like you aren't able to read fast enough. It was captivating and this book was totally fitting when it said that the book to be Black Swan meets Pretty Little Liars sometimes it reminded me of The Lying Games to. This book would be a huge treat for all those who love Jennifer L. Armentrout’s book; (someone like me ;) who is obsessed with all of JLA’S books and when I got an ARC I was so happy about it); I literally could not put it down. That’s why this book should get not just a 5 star review but a 6 star review.


So be prepared when you start the book that you won’t be able to put it down and I advise you should not start it before bed because you will not sleep that night. I fell head first into Sam’s story so yeah the story did not start of slowly for me. I have read lots of books with characters that captivated me but it was nothing like this, I felt crazy right along with Sam and you tried to think all the different things at what might have happened that night but you could never figure out what happened right up until the end.

Jennifer leaves you second guessing yourself throughout the whole book. This book was a perfect pace, there was never a lull in the book and never too much going on that you get confused. I never wished for more or something to happen differently. Now when it comes to the characters then I can say is that you will love them all.

Samantha was just the perfect lead in the book, she was so real and I cheered her on while she had amnesia especially when she turned her back on her old life.  Scott and Julie are amazing and supportive and I wished I had a twin brother like Scott. He is fiercely protective over his sister and there relationship is just so special and he is not like how normal brothers are. Wish I could say anything without giving away spoilers……. Now we come to Carson, he is also fiercely protective and he trust Sam with everything. He helps her figure out what happened that night. I swooned every time he was on the page and I might add he is H.O.T.  Breathtakingly so!!!!

For once I wish we can give more than 5 stars because this was a real amazing book.

Lux: Beginnings (Obsidian & Onyx) official Blurb:
Obsidian
There's an alien next door. And with his looming height and eerie green eyes, he's hot...until he opens his mouth. He's infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, he lights me up with a big fat bulls-eye. Turns out he has a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal his abilities and the only way I’m getting out of this alive is by sticking close to him until my alien mojo fades. If I don’t kill him first, that is.
Onyx
Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro alien connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems. I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

Opal
After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing alien hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.
Origin
Daemon will do anything to get Katy back. After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on? And will they even be together?
