Sometimes I Think of You (Rogers Sextuplets Book 1) Synopsis: Max Crestfield is the first person Alena Rogers has ever met that doesn't see her as one of the famous Alphabet Babies. Being a sextuplet is both the most wonderful and the most difficult part of her life.  For a little while when Alena meets Max she gets to leave that hard part of her life behind and just be a girl falling in love with a boy. When Alena's lies catch up to her there's nothing she can say that will salvage her summer romance.  But some summer loves don't fade away. Review: Sometimes I Think of You was a really sweet story. Alena is part of the famous sextuplets. While she loves her brothers and sisters (they also have a younger brother), she also likes her alone time. It doesn't seem like the others are bothered by the fame or always being together or anything like she is. She doesn't always like everyone knowing who she is from tv and whatnot. She doesn't ...

Stray Synopsis: Erin Timms took a new job as a veterinarian in Sunshine, Colorado for two important reasons: to get away from her ex, and to give herself a chance at a new life. But when devastating news of her ex follows her there, she begins to think she has made a terrible mistake.  Tall, stunning-looking Jon Miles had only one goal: to save the mountain canyon where Sunshine is located from businessmen who want to exploit it. But how can he do that when he is already an outcast?  There was nothing to suggest they’d ever meet, much less strike a spark of red-hot romance. Except that Erin can never turn away a stray... Review: Stray surprised me. I started reading it and almost put it right back down again since I didn't think I would enjoy it. It starts off pretty quick with Erin and Jon meeting and being super attracted to each other. This follows some self loving by both of them thinking of the other and it just seemed like alright, this is just goi...

Reason To Breathe (The Breathing Series, #1) Synopsis: "No one tried to get involved with me, and I kept to myself. This was the place where everything was supposed to be safe and easy. How could Evan Mathews unravel my constant universe in just one day?" In the affluent town of Weslyn, Connecticut, where most people worry about what to be seen in and who to be seen with, Emma Thomas would rather not be seen at all. She’s more concerned with feigning perfection while pulling down her sleeves to conceal the bruises - not wanting anyone to know how far from perfect her life truly is. Without expecting it, she finds love. It challenges her to recognize her own worth - but at the risk of revealing the terrible secret she’s desperate to hide.  Reason to Breathe is an electrifying page turner from start to finish, a unique tale of life-changing love, unspeakable cruelty, and one girl’s fragile grasp of hope.

Roam (Roam Series, Book One) Synopsis: West Perry has spent his existence searching for- and finding- Roam Camden. In every lifetime that he has found her, he has set out to save her- and in turn, save our world. He has failed six times throughout history to protect her from an immortal evil.  Now, in their last life together, seventeen-year-old Roam discovers a way to travel through time and try again, knowing she must save herself, the man that she loves...  And the life of their unborn child. Review: Roam was a very frustrating read for me. The character Roam was very annoying to me and I felt like nothing was really developed so I didn't care about what happened to anyone. I just...everything was too fast and Roam was too wishy washy and not very smart. Some slight spoilers ahead (even though it is obvious from the start how everything will turn out). So Roam....she was so annoying to me! One minute she is fine with everything, the next she is supe...
