These Broken Stars & time after time

These Broken stars
Disney

Stand alone
Dec 10

Lilac is the daughter of one of the richest man in the galaxy. Tarver is a major and highly celebrated. They are both on a cruise in space. They are both interested in each other.
The ship starts falling apart during hyper speed. They both escape into a pod, and land on a planet. Lilac helps save them. While on this planet, there is no one there. They are trying to survive. They both end up saving one another. They also both start developing feeling for each other.
Things aren't what they appear to be on this planet. Secrets come to light . This book had action, romance, and totally went in a different direction . Lilac was a smart strong female, and she was going through a tough time on the planet. Tarver had the smarts to survive on the planet. This book had some sexy times. I am so glad that I was able to meet this couple . This book was so much better than I imagined.

Book Review= B+

This is Bennett's side of what is happening in his world in 2012. Throughout the book we see the effects that time travel happens to him. I loved that Bennett did some good , and opened up to his family . It was great to see Maggie , and Brooke again. I loved all the music mentioned through out the book. I also loved the romance.

Catching fire movie review

I went and saw it with my dd on opening weekend. This movie was perfect and it followed the book pretty well. I was pretty impressed and there were laughs , and the movie flew by very fast. I loved and more of a fan of peeta and katniss. Finnick and joanna were played perfectly. Cinna was amazing, and haymitch and effie were amazing. See the movie.

Lily and Mel are now separated. Melly is now being trained by Sebastian as a vampire, and less autistic  , and more normal.

Lily and Carter are trying to survive against the ticks. They are having disagreements over her doing raids. Carter wants to help others & Lily is taking care of Mckenna. Carter and Mel are both betrayed by someone in their lives. Also things aren't what they seem . Carter and Lily did meet some others surviving in Utah.

This book was good, and there were some twists I could see coming. I did enjoy Mel growing and changing as a vampire, but I felt that autism slowing down or being fixed was interesting. I loved how both girls are strong , and they both think of each other. I did enjoy the shout outs to Star Trek and Hunger Games. This book has a lot of twists and turns.

Book Review= B-

Thanks so much to Berkley for the book and this is my Honest Review

Crash into You Book review

Crash into you

For Review
#3 in series

Isaiah is living with Noah , and needs to do his part for rent. He decides to do some drag racing and meets an angel. Rachel has panic attacks , but when she drives her car , she feels free.  They both end up meeting for a race. There is some trouble there , and the cops got word that that there was a race. Rachel & Isaiah  have an instant connection over cars.
Rachel's family is still grieving over Colleen , and does many charitable work for leukemia. She loves working on cars, and knows her cars information. She also has 4 very protective older brothers.

Isaiah  wants to get a job and become certified to work with cars. His mom just made a reappearance back into his life.

Rachel & Isaiah  are very hot together. I love that he stood by her side and stood up for her, and even took her debt. He starts falling for his angel , and starts to slowly change. Rachel also makes in a friend in Abby. Rachel is trying to become stronger person, and she has many family obligations. Her family life isn't as perfect as it seems. Isiah really sees her and she really sees him.

I didn't like the ending to this book as much as the others, and I was glad to see Noah, Echo, Beth, and Ryan. I was glad to see that the next book is going to be about West's story. The ending was realistic , and I loved seeing the family coming together. I loved the sexy times with Rachel & Isaiah. I hope that Abby gets her happy ending. But there is A LOT going on in this book.

Book Review = B
