Jessica Gunhammer
Straight Laced
Synopsis:
Summer Jones seems to be perfect in every way. She’s always gotten good grades, graduated with honors and has never missed a curfew. So when Nate Thompson walks into Summer’s life, her whole world is turned upside down.
She envy’s everything he stands for; he’s wild, free and doesn’t have a care in the world. Not to mention he’s hot, has tattoos and drives a motorcycle. When Nate brings to her attention she’s too straight laced for him, she decides it’s time for a change.
She’s ready to start living the life she’s always wanted, but she’s scared to leave everything she knows behind and travel the journey alone. Will Nate be there to encourage her along the way? Or will the rebellion wear off and have her crawling back to her parents?
Nate’s always lived his life in the fast lane. He’s never wanted to be tied down and he doesn’t let anything get in the way of doing what he loves. That is until he meets Summer.
She’s everything he’s ever wanted but yet she’s everything he could never have. She’s smart, beautiful and on her way to the top. She’s way out of he’s league and he lets her know it, but yet he can’t seem to keep his mind off of her.
When Nate finds himself lying on the side of the road in the middle of the night, preparing himself for his last breath there is only one person that comes to mind, Summer Jones. He promises himself that if he makes it through this, he will do everything he can to win her over, but is it too late?
Review:
*Received ARC for an honest review**
If you are wanting a quick read, this book is for you. It literally only took me and hour to read. I have read a few books by Jessica Gunhammer, so I was excited when I received this ARC copy. However, I was a little disappointed. I don't know if it was just me or what, but I was expecting a whole lot more from this book. It all just happens so fast and ends very abruptly.
Summer seems interested in Nate from the beginning and pushes for him to tell her why he wants nothing to do with her. When she finds out that he thinks she is a "goody two shoes", she decides to prove him wrong, but the night that she tells her parents her plans for the future, Nate is in a motorcycle accident. It is when he is in the hospital that he realizes that he cares for Summer and has been nothing but mean to her. This is where their relationship starts. The book covers a whole 24 weeks of romance, if that's what you want to call it. Not a whole lot happens. The most exciting stuff is in the very beginning when Summer meets Nate and I think a week or so later, he is in his accident. The next most exiting thing is at the end, when Nate is able to walk a small distance and ends up setting up the barn in a romantic gesture. I'm not harping on the book, it was a good read, but I just wanted a whole lot more from the couple.

Jennifer Foor
Series: Mitchell Family
Book One: Letting Go
Synopsis:
Savanna Tate has loved the same guy since she was 14yrs old. Now she and Tyler are in their second year of college. While Savanna is concentrating on maintaining her high grade point average and academic scholarship, Tyler is busy partying with his frat brothers and screwing around on his girlfriend behind her back.
Savanna decides they need a break, just so she can focus and maybe change his mind about his priorities. One night at a party Savanna catches Ty in the act and after a heated argument, she leaves. In fear of losing her forever, Tyler steals a car and proceeds to follow her even after he had too much to drink. He loses control of the vehicle and from the injuries of the accident he goes into a coma.
Everyone blames Savanna for Ty's accident. She loses her friends. His family disowns her. She stops being around people and spends most of her time at the hospital waiting for Ty to wake up so that they can start over and have the future she always wanted.
Then his cousin Colt comes back to town to help with the Mitchell family's farm.
The chemistry between them is electric, but is Savanna willing to let go of Ty to explore her feelings for Colt?
Publication Date: September 3, 2012
Review:
This was a very good book. I instantly fell in love with Savanna and Colt. They had such great chemistry together. You couldn't help but root for them and want everything work out for them. You felt Van's guilt that she had about Tyler and the accident. You felt sorry for her and you wanted to just be there for her like Colt was. You also knew how hard it was for Colt to go that route with Van because Tyler was his blood, his family. Family comes before everything.
This story is about a girl that has loved the same boy since she was very young. She never thought her life would be any other way. It was always Savanna and Tyler. She couldn't see how things were to change, even if she knew that they may not be the "picture perfect couple." After Van, tells Tyler that she wants to focus on school, he takes it the wrong way, and fills a void by women and booze. Van catches him in the act. Even though they are technically not together, it still crushes her. She ends up running out of the party and Tyler chases after her after he has been drinking entirely too much. Tyler takes someone else's vehicle and wrecks it, causing him to be in a coma for over seven months. During that time, Savannah is shunned by everyone. All of her friends and family, except Colt. Colt comes to town to help Tyler's dad with his farm. He comes to see his little cousin in the hospital to check on him and ends up seeing Savannah. Van tells him the whole story of what happens and how people have been treating her. Colt doesn't think it is as bad as she makes it out to be until he happened to witness it first hand. He convinced her to go to a bonfire with him and it is there that she gets the crap beat out of her by three girls. Colt takes her home and takes care of her. He decides it would be best for her to stay with him over the weekend so that her family doesn't see her face. During the weekend, things take a turn towards something more. Colt is resistant for only some time and Savannah can't seem to get enough of him. They begin a whirlwind of friendship in secrecy. They know everyone would judge what they are doing because she is suppose to belong to Tyler, even if he wasn't always so faithful to her, even during their time together. When Tyler finally wakes up, Van had already decided that she wanted a future with Colt instead. She loved him, more than she had ever loved Tyler, but how was she to break that to the man that had been in a coma for the past seven months and had had her all her life? She didn't see how anyone was going to not be sad when she made her decision. She went along with what Tyler was wanting, even accepting his proposal knowing it wasn't what she wanted. It wasn't until after he put the ring on her finger that she knew she would have to tell him about Colt. After all the chaos, things finally went smoothly and Savannah and Colt got their happily ever after.
I'm not sure if I had read this book before or if this is just a similar story line, but I felt like I had read it already. It was still a good story line. Ready to see what else is to happen in the series. Hopefully see how the story will go for Savannah and Colt. Also, hopefully Tyler can find someone that he can be serious with and have an actual relationship.

Publication Date: August 24, 2013
Review:
This book is not at all like I expected it to be! I was so sad and depressed along with Mira when her fiance died that fateful night of graduation. It takes Mira a while to get her life back together. She is finally able to seem normal with the help of her fiance's best friend, Skylar. Skylar has always loved Mira, but never acted upon those feelings for the love of his best friend. When fate brings them together again after his death, he thinks may be his chance; however, things blow up in each of their faces. Mira moves out of the apartment she was sharing with Skylar after only one weekend. They do not see each other again for a year. They both have strong feelings for each other and don't think that they will ever have those same feelings toward anyone else. They can't imagine tainting that love by being with other people. When their mutual friend, Kylee, comes home for vacation they get together again. Mira unleashes a secret that she has been keeping from everyone that may be the final straw to break the camel's back. Skylar and Mira finally put aside everything and realize that being together is the only place that makes sense and makes them happy. They decide that they are going to be together forever.
**Spoiler alert**
The last chapter you find out that everything was a LIE!! She has been in a coma for the past seven weeks. She wakes up in a hospital room and can't figure out how she went from being in Skylar's arms of his home to a hospital bed barely able to move. Danny didn't die that night. He came away unharmed. However, Mira wasn't so lucky. She banged her head pretty hard. She thinks that everything she dreamed was real. How do you explain to the man that you are engaged to that you thought he was dead and you fell in love with his best friend, all while you were in a coma?
I have to read the next book in this series to know what happens! I loved the chemistry that Skylar and Mira had together. I think they both realized that they are more compatable together than Danny and Mira. Danny is a sweet boy, but from the flashbacks that you have from Mira, it is like she always had a thing for Skylar but afraid to voice those feelings.
Ashley Suzanne you have done it this time. I was not expecting any of that to happen. Ready to know what happens next!
Book One and a Half: Inception
Synopsis:
Danny Thomas has never the boy who got the girl. All through high school, he sat in the back seat and watched his best friend, Skylar McBride, in all his crowning glory. The girls always flocked to Skylar, leaving Danny the third wheel.
Everything changes the first day of college, when Danny meets Mira Adams and she completely steals his heart. She's the only girl that ever chose Danny.
Through the ups and downs of college, Danny and Mira's relationship blossoms into something truly beautiful. A relationship that dreams are made of.
The bond of four friends: Danny, Skylar, Mira and Kylee is tested one fateful night when an accident changes everything.
Inception immediately follows the first book in the Destined Series, Mirage and showcases Danny's point of view during those four years that almost ended the night of graduation.
To understand the full story, you have to go back to the beginning: The Inception.
Review:
This story is from Danny's point of view of his life with Mira. It starts out from when he left for college as a freshman with his best friend Skylar. It tells of all the important moments they shared together and gives you a little insight on how he felt about the close relationship between Mira and Skylar. He never doubted that they loved each other, but it didn't really make him question anything between them. If you read Mirage, you know that Mira ends of falling for Skylar because she believed that Danny died in the motorcycle accident, but that didn't happen. As I was reading Mirage, I really liked the idea of Danny and Mira together. They seemed like such a cute couple and really loved each other, but she had to move on with her life. I loved Skylar. Yes, he isn't your typical book boyfriend, but I think that is what made me love him more. Then after finishing this book, I fell even more in love with Skylar. He seemed to stay by Mira's side no matter what. After only a month, Danny was starting the process already of moving on. He even seeks out a girl that looks like Mira in the cafeteria. I just think that if he truly loved her like he claims that he does, then he would wait a bit longer to see if she wakes up. Heck, it took Mira six months to get over Danny's death. Mira isn't even dead yet, and he is already thinking like she is. I am going to be rooting for Skylar in the books to come. I hope all works out between Mira and Skylar. I know that they will have some hardships with her being engaged still to Danny, but hopefully they can get past all that.

Mira isn't even dead yet, and he is already thinking like she is. I am going to be rooting for Skylar in the books to come. I hope all works out between Mira and Skylar. I know that they will have some hardships with her being engaged still to Danny, but hopefully they can get past all that.

Review:
I have had this book sitting on my Kindle for a while to read, but just never got around to it. So the other day I decided that it looked like it was a good time to read it. I have read several other books by J. S. Cooper and just love her writing style. This story isn't any different.
This is a story about a boy who meets a girl. Boy thinks that is isn't good enough for the girl and the girl thinks she can make him see himself how she sees him. These two were fated for each other. They have a history that has paved the life that each of them live. He just can't get past the fact of who she is, but knows without a doubt that he loves her. How is he suppose to tell his family that the girl he loves is the same girl that they have spent their whole lives hating?
The chemistry between these two characters is very dynamic. You instantly love them. You want everything to work out for the best. You feel their pain, passion, and anger right along with them. I'm excited to see what the other books in this series are about.
