Review of Avoiding Commitment by K. A. Linde

So Avoiding Commitment.....I took the time to digest this book before writing this review. I had to.

I don't think I've had these kind of feelings before about characters and a book....This book pissed me off. I was expecting angst. But I was not expecting to hate the characters. I was not expecting to seriously stop reading this book and have to be basically coaxed, cajoled, into pushing through.

But I did, for many reasons, and I'm glad I did. I found myself starting to root for Jack and Lexie. Two cheaters. Seriously???



Then Ramsey was introduced. OH MY DAMN! He was one big reason why I pushed on through. I wanted him with Lexie. I wanted her to see that there was something better than the self-absorbed asshole...oh, I mean, Jack.

I could forgive Ramsey for being related to Bekah, the Twat of the Book. (What a freaking b!tch!) And I did forgive and was #TeamRamsey all the way...well, except for that one chapter when I was actually rooting for Jack and Lexie.  (let's forget that happened LOL.)

Man, writing this review I'm getting all riled up again.  Deep breaths.

And that's the reason why I'm giving this a 4 star rating instead of something lower. Kyla worked my emotions like a big ol' masseuse can work my sore muscles.  




I'm pretty curious to see what happens in the next books of the series. I want to see how Lexie grows.  At the beginning of this book, I did not think I would be at this point, but I am. I really am.

Well done!

TANK - A Review

**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.**

TANK by M. Malone was first released as a part of the Alphas After Dark anthology.

Minx is one of my go-to authors. I love her Alexander family. Jackson, Nick, Eli....BENNETT! Not to mention their mother, Julia, as well as all their friends. And since I love them, logic would dictate that I would love this new off-shoot of the Alexanders, the Blue-Collar Billionaires.

Logic wins.

Even though Tank is a spin-off of the Alexander series, it feels very different, despite the fact that there was an Alexander series presence. This whole story was different from what I expected. I normally don't like first person POV but I liked it here. It drew me in. I felt Tank.



Then there's Emma.
 

I love her and her struggles to go back to school to become a vet. I always wanted to be a vet but um...there's blood and stuff. I rather just have a zoo of pets, even including one of the more memorable pets I've ever seen in a book: Poochie the hairless cat. I <3 Poochie!

I can't wait to see more of that cat in the upcoming books as well as Tank's sexy brothers— Finn, Gabe, Zack, and Luke.

I'll leave you with one more picture of Tank:



Yum...that hair, that face. *THUD*

Review of Falling Under

I was so excited when Jasinda announced this book. It was so unexpected and I was so upset that I couldn't read it right away do to a crazy real life that monopolized this book's release week. I really wanted to read this because I have loved every single Jasinda Wilder book that I have ever read and Falling Under was no different. Out of all the books in the Falling Series, it's in the top 3. (Did you see what I did there? diplomacy, baby! I just can't pick my favorite.)

This book may be viewed as a stand alone BUT to get the full experience, the full emotional pull, I do recommend at least reading the first book in the series, Falling Into You.

"You can't learn about love without getting hurt."

I seriously bawled my eyes out with the first two books of the series but not with this one. But that doesn't mean it's not as good. It just tugged at different emotions than the other two. And after reading so many books lately that exhausted my Kleenex supply, I was so ready for different.

Though, I do have to say, this scene really got to me:

"I don't want to hurt you, Kylie."
"You already did."
I groan. "You really don't know what you're asking for, with a guy like me."
"Shouldn't I get to be the judge of that?"
"Yeah, maybe. But I've got a choice too," I say.
"And you choose to reject me."

:-(



I loved the relationship between Oz and Kylie: the not-so-worthy bad boy and the beautiful girl who fell in love with him. I loved the parallels of their relationship with Nell and Colt's. I will say here that I was just a little disappointed that I didn't get Nell's POV. I always connected with her, but I will have to say it was refreshing to have all in the POV of the males, especially when one of those males was Colt.
