I wanted to love this book. I started off loving it. I made it through the painful wait for Rylee to share her secret with Nick and Pete and then part one finished.
Oh great, I thought, the good stuff is going to start to happen but starting part two, with a change in voice from first to third person was incredibly jarring. I absolutely hated the use of it here. It makes describing action so difficult and leads to an increased use of names so every second word is a character's name. It became repetitive.
I also thought there were too many coincidences. It would've been much better if Nick and Pete were already in a relationship before Rylee, it just played out a little too nicely.
I also felt like the book started in the middle. I know it's the second book in a series but I felt, for those who haven't read book one like myself, if we went back to when Rylee first met Pete it would give a more complete story.
I thought Sharing Rylee was going to be a beautiful story of acceptance and discovery, it was nowhere near that which is a shame, it could've been so much more than just another book, sorry!

This book was not what I expected and tore me up! It's a totally emotional read.
I did find however, that it started rather abruptly and we never really get to know Allee. To be honest, I'm not sure what it was that attracted Ryan to her. It really feels as if she's a minor character when that's not the case. I also found some of the phrases Ryan used didn't suit his character, they seemed more British than upper class New York. It also seemed like it was a bit rushed and could've done if it was a bit longer.
Undying love is not really my cup of tea and I won't be reading the sequel but I know it will appeal to some.

I genuinely liked Rebel Soul. I liked the relationship between Brock and Tess and how it developed. I especially liked the insights we got of Brock's thoughts and feelings and his growth.
I did feel the start was a little sluggish and dragged a bit, I was eager for things to happen.
I also felt like the novel was cut a little short. We just got to the good bit and it finished. It's obvious that there's another book to come in the series, I assume between Elle and Braden, but I'd like to see what happens with Brock and Tess.

To be honest I didn't like Pop! It just wasn't for me. I couldn't stand Symone, she just didn't do it for me. I loved Sid but he was so frustrating!
It was written well but just not my type of story.

I've got to admit that the concept for this book was a little strange to me. Yes, it was explained why Nick and Jenn chose to enter such an arrangement but I still find it a little bit strange. Overall though, married by contract was a pleasant read. I liked the way their relationship evolved but I wish we could've had more insight into Nick, why he was so closed off. His feelings for Jenn were clear but I would've liked more. Married by contract was a quick, good read and I enjoyed it.

The Arrangement was an incredibly beautiful story. I loved seeing the growth and develops tn of both Reed and Carter. I think the fringe characters were a great addition to the story and greatly enhanced the story. I loved the journey Carter and Reed take us on, it had the right amount of heat and drama. I loved that despite everything Reed was strong enough to stand up for himself and the insight into his condition the book gave. The Arrangement was a great read, highly reccomended!

For me, With Vengeance was a little one note. I felt like there was all this tension building up, especially between Kat and Klem and the band but it never happened. They were so terrified of the consequences but nothing happened. Sure, there was a bigger threw looming but there was still room. I also would've liked to have seen some background into Richard and Kat's relationship, perhaps in a prologue. As it is you only know what happened because Kat mentions it.
A little flat for me.

I love the concept for Carter, best friends who become lovers who are torn apart only to meet again, it's probably as close to a modern fairytale as we'll ever get.
I immediately felt for Shelby but never hated Carter. I loved his family, even if all the C names was a bit confusing. I felt it was a bit strange that Carter was angry at Shelby when he was the one to break them initially but I also understand his anger. Carter was an unusual book in that your anger is never directed at either of the main characters even when they're being annoying! I genuinely liked Carter and am interested to see which of the brothers will get a book next. I'd love either Cason or Clark but I have a feeling it might be Caden, either way, I'll be waiting and reading.

I've got to admit at first I found this hard going. The language and wide use of slang was kind of hard for me to wade my way through. I know it adds to the characters and fits with their personalities but I found it almost annoying. I also found the wide use of nicknames a bit confusing. I haven't read the Club series so I found it a little hard to follow the different names.
But I liked Ball Peen Hammer. Keane really wore me down and in the end I ended up loving him.
BPH is a sweet story but I fear the use of slang will severely date it in a few months and I felt it wasn't all entirely necessary, I think the point could've been made without trying to be so hip but it was an enjoyable read.

Initially I really liked this book. I loved the premise, of two friends connecting after such a long time and I loved Nick. But as the book developed it just got hung up on the wrong stuff. All this worry Eden had about Nick cheating when there was no evidence really annoyed me. It came out of nowhere, I felt like that whole angle wasn't fully developed and arose more to try and give weight to her claim than something she had experienced first hand. The whole angle just got really annoying, there were so many other ways to screw with them, Lucinda was a great character you love to hate, but she was pushed to the side. I'd have loved to have seen a showdown between her and Mary Lou and see nick stand up for himself more. I also found legion to be a confusing character. Like I said, I initially liked this book but it tried too hard and made too many leaps and bounds and dodged the stuff you really wanted to happen. I am interested in Dynassy's book but am wary about it.
