The first chapter is brilliant and sucked me in immediately. I didn't connect with Cody as much as I wanted to, but I loved Ben.

3.5 Stars.

I forgot who all the characters were, and there was a lot of recounting what happened, but I think it's the perfect ending to the other two books.

I love gargoyles! I thought this was a cute, spooky story. Perfect for kids!

Claudia Must Die starts with Claudia hiding from her husband and his hired assassins. At a coffee shop, she spots a college student named Parker who looks just like her. She watches Parker and even breaks into her apartment with the goal of taking over her life. When Claudia sends a letter to her mom, postmarked with Parker's address, it's bad news for Parker.

What happens throughout this story is shocking and made me wonder how anyone could do the things these characters do, which made this story interesting to read.

T.B. Markinson does a great job getting us into the heads of her characters. I especially liked the assassins' perspectives because it was different. T.B. gave each character a unique past that perfectly explains why they are the way they are. She's a master at character development!

There are humorous parts, gritty parts, and intense parts. This story is different from everything else I've read lately, which is a good thing! Every few pages there was a new twist that kept me thoroughly entertained. I wasn't bored for a moment. And the last page literally made my jaw drop.

If you're looking to be entertained and enjoy books with assassins and murder, you'll like this one.

I loved how this story started. With just the first few sentences I got a sense for Carston as a person and as a professional playwright. He dislikes for pop stars with a passion, but Sherry Valentine isn’t your typical pop star, and she’s not a young kid either. She hates how she has to make herself up to be someone different in the public’s eye. And now she wants a new career as an actress, which leads to an interview with her and Carston. Despite Carston’s initial distaste with the idea of being interviewed with Sherry, he’s immediately intrigued by her.

The fact that the characters are older (40s-50s) made this story so refreshing. I adore romance at all ages. Sherry’s dialogue throughout the story is great. I love her witty comebacks, especially when she's talking to her manager, Charlie. I also enjoyed the insight into her life as a country pop star. And I enjoyed Carston’s manner. He’s a loner and a writer, which I could totally relate to, but he's also a gentlemen who can be romantic.

I don’t mind it when characters fall in love quickly, but to me Sherry and Carston fell in love too fast. Their first meeting was brief. And on their second meeting their hearts were already flip-flopping, which felt sudden for two people who didn’t know each other and even disliked each other when they first met. But as the story when on and sparks flew (both out of anger and passion), they relationship grew and that was fun to witness.

This was a sweet romantic story and I enjoyed it. Sparks fly, secrets come out in the open, and romance buds. I recommend this story to country fans and readers who enjoy light romance.

Elizabeth Seckman is a talented writer. Her characters are fully-developed and as three-dimensional as real-life people. Her descriptions are marvelous, and I loved the humor in the first few pages when Jenna’s car breaks down and her and her son, Tanner, have to walk to their small town’s gas station—in the rain—with groceries in each hand. I know exactly what that’s like. The realism, humor, and relatable characters made it that much easier to sink into this story. The relationship between mother and son is also fun.

At the gas station is a mysterious Porsche, which Tanner drools over, and Jenna runs into the driver, a tall, sexy man named Tres. And what’s better than that? The two of them have history. The kind of history that makes the heart thump.

Needing money to fix her car, Jenna takes a lot of odd jobs. One of them is to take pictures of a man from the governor’s office and that guy is...you’ve guessed it. From there the story only gets more interesting. I enjoyed waiting to find out what exactly happened between Jenna and Tres. And learning how everyone played a role in what happened. There are secrets nearly oozing off the pages of this book.

If you like romances that revolve around the mysterious pasts of the characters, this one is for you!

The first time I heard about this book it was while I was watching the movie "You've Got Mail." When I saw it at a thrift store, I snatched it up. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a ballerina, but I wasn't graceful and didn't have the feet. I would've enjoyed this story then just ad I enjoyed it now. The only thing that did bother me was how snobbish all three of the girls become at different points throughout the story, but it's still a cute read.

When I read the author's dedication, I smiled because I was one of those readers who kindly asked for (*coughs* demanded) a happily-ever-after for Mike and I felt this story was written just for me. :)

Ashelyn can really get into a college guy's head. Everything about Mike felt so real, I remember thinking that when I read his first story (Nothing to Tell).

Summer, the girl who steals his heart, is perfect for him. She's smart, funny, and flirtatious. But she did play some mind games on him. (I don't want to have sex with you yet, but I need to know that you want to have sex with me.) Which I didn't get. But I really liked the two of them as a couple. It was fun whenever they were together, but of course there were bumps along the way. And those bumps were exciting!

I laughed so many times while reading this one that I couldn't track. This is a cute, funny, and sexy story. Yes, all of those. And sometimes all at once.

If you've never read a Campus Crush story, I highly recommend that you read "Nothing to Tell" (#0.5) and this one, "Looking for Love" (#4).

At the end, I thought of another title that also would've been perfect...Loving Summer. Although I can't take credit for that because Ashelyn wrote that at the end. :)
