Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys by Kate Brian

Rating: 4/5 Stars
Review:

When she was nine, Megan Meade met a group of terrible, mean, Popsicle-goo-covered boys, the sons of her father's friend -- the McGowan boys. Now, seven years later, Megan's army doctor parents are shipping off to Korea and Megan is being sent to live with the little monsters, who are older now and quite different than she remembered them.
Living in a house with seven boys will give Megan, who has never even been kissed, the perfect opportunity to learn everything there is to know about boys. And she'll send all her notes to her best friend, Tracy, in...

Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys

Observation #1: Being an army brat sucks. Except that this is definitely a better alternative to moving to Korea.

Observation #2: Forget evil, laughing, little monsters. These guys have been touched by the Abercrombie gods. They are a blur of toned, suntanned perfection.

Observation #3: I need a lock on my door. STAT.

Observation #4: Three words: six-pack abs.

Observation #5: Do not even get me started on the state of the bathroom. I'm thinking of calling in a hazmat team. Seriously.

Observation #6: These boys know how to make enemies. Big time.

Megan Meade will have to juggle a new school, a new family, a new crush -- on the boy next door, as in next bedroom door -- and a new life. Will she survive the McGowan boys?

My Say: Megan Meade is a believable character so are the boys especially Finn, Evan and Doug. It is well written by Kate Brian. It was light and a fun read. I'd say this book is a keeper. The book is filled with Drama, Comedy, Romance, some Bitchy Teen Villain and some Brother-hits-another-brother this book is complete awesomeness.

Lark by Tracey Porter
My Rating:3/5


My Review:

When sixteen-year-old Lark Austin is kidnapped from her Virginia hometown and left to die in a snowy forest, she leaves behind two friends who are stunned by the loss. As Lark's former best friend, Eve can't shake the guilt that this tragedy was somehow her fault. Meanwhile, Nyetta is haunted each night by Lark's ghost, who comes through the bedroom window and begs Nyetta to set her soul free. Eve and Nyetta realize that Lark is trapped in limbo, and only by coming together to heal themselves will they discover why.

The book is written in three POVs. Nyetta's,Eve's and Lark's POV. The book is about how both Nyetta and Eve help Lark out of her misery all the while healing themselves from the loss. Tracey Porter's stunning narrative about love and loss demonstrates that forgiveness can never come too late.

I say finish one series then jump to another it will make you feel so much better when you finish an entire series and don't have to come back and read the rest .

LOL, I'm not a big fan of his either. I'm not sure why he is so popular, there are romance authors out there way better than him.
