English review: After lies and tragedy teared apart seven years ago, Olivia come back to the mansion where she had live after her parents death. She thought she was now strong enough to get over her memories but she didn't expect to meet with Jackson, the only man she ever have loved.
The misunderstood and the jealousy was still between them and Olivia tried to resist him. But t can you really escape from the love of your life?
This is the first book I read by Serena Grey and I like it. It was not very original but it was well written.

English review: After reading Ghost, I wanted to keep reading about Nikolai si I was no so excited about this book. However, or maybe because I had not expectations, I really enjoyed it.
Rory was very different from the others male characters, he was really a gentleman. Even with his one night stand. Probably because his mother was a victim of domestic violence.
When he saw Scarlet he was sure that she was the woman of his life. The problem was trying to make her see it when she could only seek revenge from the four men who had raped her when she was in highschool.

I'm sorry, but I need some help with this one, the review link links to the book 'The Kiss Quotient', but the buddy links to a buddy read for 'The Kiss Thief'. My best guess is that I'm supposed to be counting 'The Kiss Quotient', but Izzy has posted updates on the wrong buddy thread? Does anybody know?

Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
English Review: This in the end of the trilogy and finally Holly and Creighton decided to communicate better. She promised not to run away and he to share really his life with her, including his past. I think that being in her home town was the best for their marriage.
However, between Holly's mom and Creighton's uncle there was too much family drama.

Actually, I bought that rule in in May 2019. Non-Fiction books couldn't be used for bonus points in either our May or June challenges, they could only used for page points, exactly the same as this challenge. They could be used in July, but that was because there were no bonus points to earn x

English Review: After reading Ghost I was really excited about this book. Unfortunately I was not was I was expecting. The story was ok. Much more cruel than I thought after reading the sinopsis.
Specially her father who was a terrible human being. So even if his death was horrible he deserved because of all the women that had killed.
The relationship between the main characters was strange but she being his prisoner was not the idea set for a live story.
I really like the end. It was a nice closure for the serie.

English Review: A really fast and entertaining story. I live the way he look after the mysterious woman who spend Christmas Eve with him. And in such an original way! For her, he was the answer she had been expecting in order to scape the abusive contract with her music company.
After reading others book by this author I knew the end will contain a cliffhanger but I was not expecting a goodbye.

English Review: I have read her brothers stories a long time ago so I don't remember exactly but I think this was my favorite yet. Harlow is a strong and decided woman who has never confront her painful past. Noah and his absolute faith in love was what her cynical heart was needing. But she had to let go her fears and accept the future that promises her the family she always wanted.
Her parents were the worst and I love that getting them away from her was his wedding gift.

English review: This was the first book I read by this author and one of the things that get my attention was the pace because was so uneven: boring sometimes, addictive others...
I don't like the end was rushed and confusing and unsatisfying. But I love when they changed their cellphones by mistake. So it was ok.

A respin is where I count new reviews above my message using one spin of the wheel of fortune for your bonus points, and then new reviews posted after my message at a different spin of the wheel of fortune. This could be good if you got a bad spin the first time, or could be bad, if you got a good spin the first time. It's a bit of a gamble ☺

Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
English Review: I think I like this book better than I Wanna Sext You Up because in this plot the obstacles were internal and not a conflict of interest. In the story of Brody and Phebe we have his insecurities and her being a total control freaks. Maybe because of that we are more invested in their happy ending.
I wonder about the third novel: who's story will be?
