There are a few books that are worth having in print. This is one of them,

Prince of Wolves (The Grey Wolves Series)

Damaged (Volume 1)

Though the concept of teacher/student
relationships is often seen in books and television shows, such as
Pretty Little Liars, this series approaches it in a slightly different
way. Is anything that they do really wrong? Though they are innocent as
far as actions go, their feelings for each other put their futures at
risk. He could lose his job as a professor and she could lose her
scholarship money. That's not the only thing that stands in the way of
them being able to give into the their deepest desires. They both have a
rocky past; they're both damaged. But are they each others solution to
healing from that past? And, what happens when your past hunts you down
-literally?
I am no doubt a slow reader and I bought this book only last night, and have already finished it and book. This are 350+ page books, so that is no short stride. They were just so good that I couldn't put them down. I got this one around 8 or 9pm and read straight through until 7 in the morning, because I wasn't willing to sleep before finishing the book. Lucky for me, book 2 (Damaged 2) was already out, so I got it this morning, and by 8 tonight i as done. Book 1 I liked slightly more than book 2, but they were both amazing. The sexual tension was amazing even when they weren't touching. I just wanna to grab my husband and make-out with him to relieve it.Book 2 didn't have quite as much tension, but was very original and interesting, and contained some very intense moments were you may just wanna kill somebody. I'm so glad that I ignored all of those 1 star reviews that almost turned me away, because I would have missed out of this really amazing series. I don't think there will be a book 3 but if there is, I will be buying it. And the authors style of writing is enough to make me wanna check out some of her other book. So buy it, because I highly doubt you will regret it. | ||||||||||||||||
Only a Smile Away (First Kiss Romances)

The mistakes were easy to avoid. I've never been good with grammar, but these mistake were ones that a simple read through would have fixed and it seemed like the author hadn't took the time to read through it even once. Despite all of this, I couldn't stop reading. I was being a grammar nazi, but I was captivated. I have no idea why, but I was. Perhaps I wanted to make it to the foretold kiss. The last 30% of the book was amazing and the end made me melt. Like that feeling when you're first falling in love, or you have a really big crush on someone and they tell you they like you too. Oh yeah, got the chills. LOVVVVVVVVEEEEDDDDDD the kiss. UGHHHH the lead up was good. I kept looking at the progress bar both hoping it would move and not move, because I wanted more, but I also wanted to hurry and get to the kiss. I want to see more with these characters. Arren is HOTTTTT! Quiet mysterious guy who plays the cello. Ugh!! I almost gave this book a 4 for the last 30% but I didn't think that would be very fair. In some people's opinion, a 3 is too generous, but like I said, despite all of the things wrong with this book, it had enough going for it that I not only finished it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted more.
The pacing was fairly good for the length. I liked
the characters and the karaoke scenes. I loved Arren's dialogue,
especially right before the kiss. UGH I was so melting.

Spearwood Academy-Episode Eight (The Spearwood Academy Series)

So, Oren left us at yet another cliff hanger in episode 7. Avvi has just found out the Edgar is dead. Why hasn't the school told her? She wants answers and desperately wants Perlow to give them to her, but instead of him, she gets Roseman. I never had any sort of emotion attached to him prior to this episode, but now I do. SICK-OLD-MAN! Does he do anything sick? No, but just the words he says are gross! Perlow does show up, but not for the reasons Avvi wants. Yet again she is put at the mercy of those she thought she could trust and is betrayed. Roseman has a solution for Avvi's pain resulting from the loss of the man she called dad, Think about what Damon from Vampire Diaries does to Elana after her brother dies mixed with Peta from the Hunger Games being brain washed and there you have it. Though the events are heart breaking to Avvi, the reader get's to enjoy the ride down "memory" lane. I LOVEDDDDDDDDDDDD the beach scene. UMM UMMM Triton!!!!!!!! The scene at the dinner table 9had me teary eyed and the tears started flowing when Paden showed up and delivered the best line ever. Think Princess Diaries 2. This episode has an equal mix of heart wrenching mental torture and comic moments. I particularly enjoyed the fruit jokes, though it was more dark humor than anything. In short, buy this episode, it actually made me cry it was so good. | ||||||||||||
