Offsides by Sawyer Bennett

I so fell in love with this book…. Not just the book but the characters Danny (Daniella) and Ryan.

Ryan was born into money; all his friends were of money. But oh how fast things can change. Ryan was not the rebellious type; he did what his parents wanted for the most part, he attended the dinners they wanted, dated girls he thought they would approve of. But oh how that was about to change. One night after a frat party him and his friends decided to head to Sally’s to grab a bite to eat, that group included his ex-girlfriend Angeline (she wasn't invited by him) but his best friend Mike was dating her best friend Cameron, so it was hard not to advise her she wasn't really invited. He had broken up with her 2 weeks prior because he realized that she was not the kind of girl he wanted to spend his life with. She complained about everything (daddy not giving her a new diamond necklace, laughed at the coach assistant disabled son) she just was not a very nice person.

“I think therefore I am” (Angeline)

“I think I saw you review the menus, therefore I am here to take you order” (Danny)

Queue Danny, the smart, funny, lovable girl, whose dirt poor but always has a smile on her face; she works way too much and volunteers at a homeless shelter twice a week. She’s been dealt a bad hand but never acts on it. See Danny lost her mother 2 years ago to a rear form of brain cancer…. Her dad who was a Boston police officer before, lost his job and his will to live when he started spiraling out of control, he died during a drug deal gone bad. Once a music major at Julliard (violin was her weapon of choice), she was now waiting tables at Sally’s while she tries to clear the medical debt that was left after her mother died. When she encounters Ryan with his friends, she can’t help but notice the; oh so handsome guy, but her brain warns her they are not of the same social status and he would never go for someone like her. Or would he? She figures he’s a kind person when he returns to give her a $50 tip. What she never expected was for Ryan to ask her out, even more she never expected that she would actually feel something for this guy, she knew he was gorgeous but that didn't mean he would go for a girl like her. The last thing Danny expected was for Ryan to fall for her or for her to fall for him. She loved him, but would love help them through the obstacles they are sure to face?

A visit from Ryan’s mother sends everything into over drive, it also doesn't help that Angeline thinks that Danny is beneath Ryan and does everything in her power to break them apart….

When love seizes you, you have no choice but to give yourself over to it, no matter the difference or the social status….. Ryan was a northwest Hockey player who never thought that he would be even remotely interested in Danny, but he found himself head over heels for her. But what happens that makes them both rethink the relationship. Will Danny be able to withstand the name calling, the rumors, and the judgments that will flow her way? Will Ryan let his “social status” stand in the way of him finding his happily ever after? Will he cave to the fact that Danny is not “of their world, their pedigree” and forget this whole thing? Will he forfeit his Happiness for that of his family?

Good job Sawyer. 

Finding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover

I so wanted this book to continue... I loved Daniel and I loved Six.... They were so perfect for each other... Sometimes things happen in life that we may not quite understand and we try to fill the void (like Daniel did with Val/Tessa) but what we should do is let everything fall into place on it's own. Six fell into Daniel's lap one day a year ago and she fell into his heart a year later.... Amazing book Ms. Colleen.... I will definitely be reading this over and over and recommending it to all my friends.... Can't get enough of Daniel, Dean, Sky and Six... So perfect their names all match :) thank you again for this amazing book..... My only request is to make a a novel next time lol I still want more.

The Crush by C.A Williams

The Crush by C.A Williams

This story of Grier and Wynn starts of not really a story about them; but about Wynn trying to heal from the betrayal that she suffered at the hands of her stepfather.

Wynn was a 17 year old female living in Michigan with her mother and stepfather, well the only father she has known since she was 3 (she lost her real dad to a car accident back in her mom’s hometown of Bay Shore). The betrayal her mother felt and the sickening feeling she felt would forever haunt them. After that one day she can’t seem to forget she moves to Bay shore AL with her mom to live with her Grams, Aunt Gracie and her cousin Collins. Her senior year of school was to be spent getting to know new people and trying to forget that unforgivable tragedy.

Grier Daniels was the star quarterback at Bay Shore high school. He was also the boyfriend of the head cheerleader Lexie. The ice queen of Bay Shore; she loved the attention that being the most popular girl & dating the star football player brought. The first day Grier ran into Wynn along with his best friend Vance, he knew there was something special about her. She was nothing like Lexie, but he couldn't act on those feelings, couldn't betray the girl he had spent the last 2 years with. But being “comfortable” with someone for the last 2 years doesn't necessarily make a happily ever after… or does it?

When their friendship starts to blossom Wynn finds out a secret about Lexie that could tear Grier apart; but does she risk telling him and loose his friendship and have rumors spread about her by Lexie or does she stand by and watch her new found best friend give his life over to the rich little girl who believes that everything should be given to her and she shouldn't have to work for anything. What does the ice queen do that shocks Wynn?? What about her stepfather? What ever happened to him?? Guess you’ll have to read to find out.

“If I had to choose between breathing or loving you, I would say I love you with my last breath”

Full Count By C.A Williams

I really enjoyed this book..... Oh Dylan Turner, just oh so dirty lol.....

“I didn’t know this is how love could really feel until I met you.”

The typical “man whore/bad boy” Dylan Turner was use to girls falling at his feet and doing whatever he wanted… What he didn't expect was for his world to do a 360 when he met Paige Brinton.

When Paige decided to head off to college her dad as well as her long time best friend Jake thought she would be attending the University of Florida, not in a million years did they expect she would he out to USC (University of South Carolina) for school. Jake was Paige’s’ best friend since she was a little girl, she lost her mom at 10 years old and for a very long time it has been her and her dad. But Paige needed to spread her wings, Jake had always put his life on hold for her, had always been her protector and she wanted to the space to explore and learn new things; she thought the space would be good for Jake as well, he could start to live, find a girlfriend and experience all the things he didn't get to because of her.

Dylan Turner was one of the top baseball players at USC (the next best thing heading for the major league), he was best friends with Christopher (chris) Chapman who just happened to be the brother of Paige’s roommate Katherine (Kitty) Chapman. He was a part of the Chapman family; ever since Chris took him home for the holidays that first year at school they family accepted him as one of their own. Dylan was abandoned by his mother as a baby and bounced from foster home to foster home his whole life…. The only thing in his life that was stable was the fact that he would always fall back on baseball, no matter how much he moved he would always find he felt at home on the school’s baseball team.

When Paige and Dylan’s worlds collided they never expected it to be like this….. Should Paige stay away from the obvious bad boy and stick to safe and predictable? How about her best friend?? Her dad has always thought he was in love with her; could he actually be speaking words of wisdom?? Should Dylan risk hurting Kitty (his sister in a sense) by going after her roommate; the girl that wasn't quite his type but just made him feel all kinds of weird things? Or should he stick to his routine of loveless trysts and guarding his heart??? The surprise in the end will definitely throw you for a loop… Don’t think you’d want to miss it.

Broken Beauty by Chloe Adams (Book 1 Broken Beauty Novella)

Broken was a reality check on how people who have been through a tragedy cope, it was about a scared little girl who wanted to be loved not only by her father but by her mother, a little girl who acted out to get her parents attention, who never thought that they were people out there who cared about others and not just themselves.

The story starts out with Mia being found in a garden beaten and raped..... Trying to remember what happened to her she panicked and passed out, but she was blessed with 2 guardian angels... Dom & Keisha, the two police officers who found her in the garden and did everything they could to make sure she survived.... What they didn't know was that her father Mr. Abbott-Renou was a political figure and wanted to use the tragedy as a prop to aide his campaign.

Lying in a hospital feeling like she wanted to die after the ordeal, Mia was given the option to take the morning after pill (something that was totally against what her father believed in) she declined the option.... So afraid that her attackers might return she req Dom to stay with her, she felt so safe, so protected, until her fathers people showed up.... back to her old routine, a father who didn't care if she lived or died but would do everything in his power to weave this incident for the good of his campaign, a spokes woman for abuse, standing up to her attackers, but in reality not really standing up to her attackers.... See Mia knew who attacked her, but who she thought it might be, his family was a very big supporter of her father.... speaking the truth would only loose him  his biggest supporter..... even if it would hurt his daughter, her father pushed what she had to say aside..... But then Mia finds out her father doesn't always speak the truth, her life in shambles and on the verge of something she will never be able to live down.... you'll have to read to find out what the big surprise is.

Broken Beauty is part of a 6 book novella.... i quiet liked it and can't wait to hear more.
