New York Times bestselling authors Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher are back with the much-anticipated, nail-biting sequel to the New York Times bestseller, Never, Never. “Never forget that I was your first real kiss. Never forget that you’ll be my last. And never stop loving me between all of them. Never stop, Charlie. Never forget.” Silas races against time as more truths unravel, while others twist tighter together. And now, the stakes are higher as Silas’ control slips and others begin to point fingers. Charlie is in trouble and he must be the one to bridge the chasm between their past and their present. Because somewhere between I love yous and Never Nevers and Never Agains, a truth they can't imagine, beckons to be found. “Where are you, Charlie?” Kindle Price: $2.99 Publication Date: May 17, 2015 I know my tastes in books have changed over the last few years but I wanted to share my top 10 favorites. The authors of these books are amazing writers and created great stories. Some of these are young adult novels for anyone to read while others are suited for a mature audience. Each book individually had a quality that just left me in awe. Some were published a few years ago while others are newer. I hope you check them out and love them as much as I did. I received this ARC of Dragon’s Lair by Chantal Fernando from Gallery, Threshold, Pocket Books through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Faye has always admired Dex and thought that he was out of reach, especially with their age difference. When Faye finds her boyfriend in bed with one of her friends she decides to head to a bar to find comfort. There she runs into Dex and spends a night with him. What follows leads her to be involved in a world of the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club. It’s not always that I find a book that can capture my attention on the first few pages and when I do it’s hard for me to put it down. Dragon’s Lair had me within the first few pages and kept my attention. All the characters were amazing. I wanted to veer of course and get into each of those biker’s worlds. I felt like I couldn’t give this novel a higher rating because at times I felt like Faye’s banter was a little cheesy. I did enjoy the fact that she talked without thinking. It was also too easy for Faye to get those bikers to like her. There were also moments where the plot didn’t connect, like when time past. Regardless I will be on the lookout for more novels from this author. Especially the ones involving the members of the Wind Dragons MC. I give Dragon’s Lair 3 out of 5 stars. Follow Chantal Fernando: @ChantalFernando Look out for Penelope Douglas's next novel! I know I will be. Former tennis player Easton Bradbury is trying to be the best teacher she can be, trying to reach her bored students, trying to forget her past. What brought her to this stage in her life isn’t important. She can’t let it be. But now one parent-teacher meeting may be her undoing… Meeting Tyler Marek for the first time makes it easy for Easton to see why his son is having trouble in school. The man knows how to manage businesses and wealth, not a living, breathing teenage boy. Or a young teacher, for that matter, though he tries to. And yet…there is something about him that draws Easton in—a hint of vulnerability, a flash of attraction, a spark that might burn. Wanting him is taboo. Needing him is undeniable. And his long-awaited touch will weaken Easton’s resolve—and reveal what should stay hidden… (*STANDALONE, NO CLIFFHANGER*) Publication Date: December 1, 2015 Kindle Price:$5.12 It’s been exactly 1 year since I posted about Penelope Douglas and her amazing Fall Away Series. At the time she had 3 novels out and has since released two more, ending the series. I still remember when the cover of Bully caught my attention on Amazon. I started Bully not knowing what to expect and have found an amazing author. Every time I hear about a new book I wait in anticipation until it's release and I'm never disappointed. She creates these edgy characters that burrow themselves in your mind and won’t go away. Penelope Douglas needs to be on everyone’s author watch list.

Grind: A Legal Affairs Story by Sawyer Bennett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars I received this ARC of Grind: A Legal Affairs Story by Sawyer Bennett in exchange for an honest review. In the second installment of A Legal Affairs Story Macy and Carl have a purely physical relationship. While Cal wants more to their relationship Macy still doesn't want to involve feelings. Will Cal break down her walls and finally be able to get what he wants? Sawyer Bennett certainly bumped up the heat in this novel. The intimate scenes kept getting hotter and hotter as Cal and Macy explored each other’s fantasies. I’m always impressed with the authors writing when it comes to those scorching scenes. I was expecting to find out more details on Macy’s secret but was left in the dark again. Besides Cal and Macy’s struggles in defining their relationship I thought there wasn't much progressing in the plot but I’m looking forward to finding out how it ends in Yield, the last installment.
