This is book #109 for me this year, and I'm so glad I saved it until the last few days of 2017. I think reading it in January would have ruined ever book after for the rest of the year! Sigh... I pulled an almost-all-nighter to finish, and it left me a sobbing mess! I'm not an emotional reader, so I'm glad I could experience this alone in the middle of the night rather than fielding a million questions from my girls about why mom is having a breakdown! LOL!
I highly recommend this for all of my Book Nerd friends. It's perfect for teens also as it is fairly chaste, and the language is PG.

I was hesitant to start this book since I’m not a fan of short stories and insta-love, however, this blew every expectation out of the water. Wow! I fell head over heels for Jack, Lewis, and Ollie! While I wish there was more to their story, I was still satisfied with the end. I’m looking forward to the next one!
All the stars!!
This one will be sticking with me for a while. I read A LOT of books each year, so I pretty much finish one and start another without pause. Mike and Liam’s story wrecked me and I cannot get this beautiful book out of my head. I saw all of the reviews and I was fairly certain that I did not want to read anything that wasn’t 100% fun; I’m so glad I listened to every review that said the pain is worth it in the end. There were a few typos, and while that usually is too distracting while I’m reading, they were overshadowed by the story, so I easily dismissed them.
If like me, you saw this little gem of a book on every book bloggers “best of 2020” last month but you were scared away due to the promise of tears (so many tears), do yourself a favor and read it anyway. I’m ever so thankful to everyone who gave the same advice.

Hmmm...
I’m a little frustrated right now. I loved the first book in the series, so I had high expectations for Infraction. I was ready to see Miller get his HEA, but it was almost like the books were written by different people. In the first book it was implied that he MC’s first name was Miller, yet here it is obviously his last also, he was 24 in the last book, but he was 22 in this one which started a year after book 1 started. I also thought Jax and Harley’s story should have been on their own in another book or novella. I was so intrigued by them and I would have loved to see more of their story develop. In the end, it wasn’t horrible, but it was a disappointing follow-up to a book that I loved.

I LOVE Kristen Callihan's books and I feel like I've been waiting forever to read Jax's book. The story didn't disappoint and I fell in love with John and Stella. There were an alarming number of typos that I'm sure will be edited in the future, but I loved the story too much to give it less than 5 stars.
I usually love Samantha Chase books, but I read this one on audiobook and I just did not care for the narration at all. It spoiled the entire book for me and, since the same narrators appear to read most of her books, I will not listen to any others. I’m sure I would have given this book a much higher rating if I had just read it, so I think I’ll stick to reading the rest on my Kindle. I’m hoping the next books in the series don’t disappoint!
This is a long-term book on my TBR list, but I will not leave a rating or review due to the recent allegations made against one of the authors.
This just didn’t do it for me on many different levels, but the thing I can’t get over is how many times Alex told Ian that they would take it at his pace right before he pushed it too far. :(
DNF - The dialogue and pet names were just not my cuppa... It was a great premise, but it's really just me, not the book...
5 Stars!
I LOVED this book! Honestly, I went into it assuming it would be a sweet little read without much substance, but it was equal parts adorable and moving. I read it both on audiobook and ebook, and the narrator did such an amazing job that I would not have been able to appreciate it as much if I simply read the ebook. I highly recommend!!

Just... Wow
I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying... This book gave me all the feels! Even though I have not lost anyone that close to me, I saw so much of myself in Ellie and it was heartbreaking and healing to follow her journey.

Wow! This was worth the wait!
I’ve been anxiously waiting for this book all year, and, WOW, it did not disappoint!! I loved everything about this book and it is by far my favorite 2019 read. I didn’t want it to end and I want more of Alex, Henry, and friends!! #TheSuperSix

I loved this book! Why don’t more authors write love stories where the MCs don’t have 3rd act break-ups? Beside a very, very short freak out, these guys managed to keep a great relationship by having conversations like adults. I was prepared to feel just OK with the book since instalove is really not my thing, but I was charmed by the characters.
Wow!!
I am totally in love with this book!! It might be my favorite of the year so far, and that’s saying a lot since I’ve finished almost 100 in 2018!! What a sweet story about two lost souls finding each other. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Goat Baby Mama Goals
I love Rom-Coms, but rarely do they make me bust a gut laughing out loud. I cannot tell you how many times I guffawed while reading this book. Considering I have a laugh loud enough to wake the dead, this led to some awkward moments when I was listening to the audiobook while shopping. Whoops! I’m off to try to convince my hubby that I NEED baby goats in my life.

Beautiful Book
Wow, wow, wow!! I fell in love with this beautiful book and I read it in one sitting. The love story progressed realistically and even though there is an element of taboo, their relationship felt perfect and meant to be. I can’t wait to read more from the author!

I wish I could put words to how I feel right now about this book. I devoured it in one sitting and I’m totally feeling a book hangover now! I was unprepared for the emotional wallop that hit me in the middle of the book. My heart broke for these guys and I can’t wait to see how everything is resolved in book 2.
This book was everything I needed right now! What an utterly charming and adorable story! I fell in love with the sweet children and I rooted for Linus the entire book. This is absolutely in my top reads for 2020!
Ah! I have been looking forward to this book all year and it did not disappoint! I was prepared for rom-com fun, but the thing that took me by surprise was how much it hit me in the feels. I am not a crier, but I found myself with wet eyes more often than I care to admit out loud. It was a wonderful read!
I don't read paranormal, but someone recommended this series to me since I am a fan of all things Buffy. I'm SOOOO glad!! I LOVED this book! I can't wait to start on the rest!
I’m a newbie to Audiobooks, so, admittedly, I don’t have a lot to compare this book to; however, this was an absolutely STUNNING was to experience an amazing and powerful book. I encourage everyone to read it in any form you can get your hands on, but there was something magical about listening to the outstanding narrator. The author’s words left me speechless at times and my eyes were opened to a world that I’m so unfamiliar with that it made me uncomfortable, but in the best, most eye-opening way possible.
Disappointing
This book had a great message and I really wish it had been better executed. Unfortunately the amateurish writing overshadowed the entire experience for me. I am obviously in the minority, so it must just come down to my own low tolerance for so many grammar missteps.

I love these guys! It was so great to catch up with them, but it left me wanting more!! I think I need another Wesmie book!!
Him by Sarina Bowen
Ugh! I love this book so much!! I needed a familiar comfort read and this was just perfect. Wes and Jamie are one of my all-time favorite couples.

Minority Opinion...
I really, really wanted to like this book. Based on the blurb I expected a story about overcoming a devastating injury. What I read was a very long “woe is me” where the author blames her bad behavior on other people and her injury. I just don’t understand why she did not seek help earlier! Relying on newspaper IQ tests and Nintendo games to determine that you should end your life rather than suffer with dementia is just so silly! Ugh!! Also, there were so many gaps in the story and she is such an unreliable narrator that I had a hard time understanding how she went so long without work, but she was still able to buy houses and travel. She idolizes her father, but then mentions his abuse several times, but she tears her mother so poorly and then cannot understand why she has a distant relationship with her family. During the course of your life you seem to have the same issues with the way everyone treat you, at some point you need to take a look at the common denominator- you!
Bottom line, I don’t have much tolerance for people who throw the victim card down to explain every bad event in their life, especially if they absolutely refuse to take any initiative to heal themselves.

I cannot wait to dive into this book. I LOVED The Passage and I have been counting the days until I could own The Twelve. :)
