Reed is use to being in control, she was a successful CEO and everything was planned and orderly until everything changes and she leaves her job, gets a divorce and buys a run down motel sight unseen. Rogan one of the only 2 contractors to turn up and the only somber one so he gets the job the fact that he is sexy as hell is just a bonus. The thing I really loved about this book is that we get to see both Reed and Rogan work out who they are and move on from their past while having many show more obstacles in their way, be them of their own making or outside influences. Will the motel succeed, will Reed accept Rogan and his gaggle of kids and will she work out who she really is now?! There are plenty of funny, frustrating, romantic, heart warming and more moments to keep you captivated with this book. show less

This is a fairly good story of a young woman who can't escape the demons of her past. She still blames herself for the death of her dear sweet baby brother, a victim of a tragic drowning accident. It never was her fault, but she still holds herself accountable. Coming home brings back so many memories. She can't even stand the sight of her ailing mother or her dad. But her mother is dying and desperately needs a match. Savannah is the only option available. She can't fix the past, but she's show more hoping that allowing the doctors to cut out a piece of herself will somehow lessen the pain.

Grief is hard. Facing the past and making peace with it is hard. Learning to live with the pain is hard. And learning to forgive yourself is probably the hardest of all.

Note: Adult sex scenes are in this book. show less

This is the second novel in the Teen Fury series. It's an original young adult paranormal story. This was definitely a great second book and as good if not better than the first book.

In the first novel, [Teen Fury: Unleashed] Felicia learns the truth about her biological parents. They represent good and evil, however in the second novel Felicia begins to wonder what is good and what is evil. The adventure continues as Felicia is forced to explore what her true nature is. There were many show more twists and turns, throughout the novel.

I really, really, really enjoyed it. A quick, fun read that I absolutely could not put down! I highly recommend it. Can't wait to read more from this author!!

Happy Reading!

The plot and the idea behind Teen Fury is very interesting and refreshing. I really liked the whole fantasy with mythology idea befind the book(finally something other than vampires/werewolves). The beginning of the book was really interesting. It was interesting to observe the changes that Felicia was going through, and her new response to situations. I loved the first part of the book, but half-way through I just started to get so annoyed.

At first I really liked the characters, Felicia show more seemed really strong, caring with a really good goals in her life. Her friends were also funny and the friends that will always help you in need. So everything was good, until the cliché part. Half way through the book, we see how she becomes torn between two guys(of course), and how her personality totally changes. I mean I get that she is now part Fury, but the way she was thinking was just....I wanted to punch her at times. Lets just say she become totally selfish, it was all like "Oh they don't know what I'm going through, it's not my fault I'am such a bitch, blah blah". The worst part is that her friends also started acting all weird. Like the part where her friend wrote in a school paper about how bad of a friend Felicia is. I mean...seriously? Yeah there where those "what the hell" moments. SO the characters definitely not the best in this book.

Oh there was some crazy romance in this book. You know one girl torn between two boys that are totally opposed from each other. As you may now I like bad boys...in books...But in this one I didn't really like neither. But like half way through the book I started to like the good boy, Ryder. I didn't really like him in the beginning because he was kind of creepy, and later I started to realize why he was acting so weird and creepy. Now Zane "the bad boy" he just reminded me of typical jock teenager. You know the one that every girl likes, the one who is handsome and an asshole. So basically in a book Felicia is trying to figure out who she should trust and which guy she loves more. I felt like she did have a connection with both of them, like the pull towards them both, but it wasn't that strong. I liked her moments with Ryder and the way he made her feel, because to me when she was with Zane it was just a physical attraction. So I was Team Ryder!

Overall the book was okay, some parts I really liked but some just weren't good. I liked the plot and the unique idea behind the story. I also liked how the book started and ended. What I didn't like is how the characters changed, and basically like the middle of the book. I give this book 3 stars because I feel like it could of have been a lot better with such an interesting idea. show less
