Review — Waiting to Breathe by Alyson Reynolds


***********************************************************
3 stars

Waiting to Breathe was the first book I've read by Alyson Reynolds. I was very intrigued when I read the description and was very anxious to dive in. I wanted to love this book so, so much and had such high hopes. Sadly, I was let down some. Olivia drove me crazy. She seemed very dramatic. Her big secret was blown out of proportion. I was expecting something much, much worse than what actually had happened. 

Another problem I had with Olivia was how she handled her trust issue with her boyfriend, Nate. She acted extremely immature, and again dramatic. It just really bugged me how childish and melodramatic her character was throughout the entire book.

I'm thankful that I get to be someone who helps put the pieces back together every day.

The saving grace was Nate. He was a phenominal character for me. I loved how he loved Olivia and the patience he showed her. I loved his friendship with Olivia's twin, Finn. The bromance was epic! I also thoroughly enjoyed how wonderful Nate was with his family. You could tell he truly cared for his mom and brothers. 

All in all, I did enjoy the story and I will read Finn and Cora's story. If you can get past Olivia's dramatic character and behavior, it is a nice story.

Review — Fighting for Jax by Alexandria Bishop

*********************************************************** 5 stars I have been anticipating this book since I read Freeing Jude last year. I'm a huge fan of Alexandria Bishop and I love the Marlowe boys! I love that we continue to see into the lives of the previous band members and their significant others. I also love the other supporting characters. I've never been a huge fan of the celebrity/rocker story, but Alexandria can pull it off. You can tell she is passionate about this. This was another fantastic 5 star read for me and I'm anxious to read more from Alexandria Bishop! I'm hoping we get some stories from the supporting characters in the future.  I must admit that from previous books, I wasn't the biggest fan of Erin Morris. So I was worried going in how my feelings for her would go. Seeing her back story and what happened and made her who she is, really enlightened me. I enjoyed reading more in depth about her character. Our past makes

Review — A Sky Full of Secrets by Briana Pacheco

5 Cosmic Love Stars ****************************** ***************************** A Sky Full of Secrets is book one in a new series by Briana Pacheco. It's a dual POV between the two main characters — Phoenix and Luna.  This was the first book I've read by Briana and it definitely will not be my last. I absolutely loved it and loved the chemistry between Nix and Luna. Nix was totally swoon-worthy. This book gave me all.the.feels. Make sure you have some tissues handy — you'll need 'em!  Looking at her is like looking up at a sky full of stars. You don't know what you'll see today, but you know it'll still be breathtaking. I loved how Phoenix made it his mission to get Luna to love herself and to increase her self-confidence.   She's quite possibly the most amazing person on this universe. I loved Luna's quirky personality. I found myself relating to her on some levels and saying 'I would totally do/say that'... I w
