This is my first time reading this author and not writing  with someone else. I enjoyed the first part of the book and the romance between them. The middle lagged a bit , but they both weren't forthcoming with their secrets. They both changed during the book,and both made peace with their pasts. My only quibble with the book is that a billionaire playboy is able to redeem a college virginal girl. I also noticed that this took place in New Orleans . I also enjoyed the sexy times.

Book Review = B

March 15
bought

I bought this book because 2 of girls have these traits, and are on the spectrum. This book done in a nice easy manner, and with stories , and ideas. Luckily I have been some of these things already. It was also to get some help for the future.

There were many websites mentioned and lots of ideas regarding this topic. I loved that this book was positive and helpful to me as a parent raising girls. I am still learning lots about Autism , and Asperger's.

Juneau  lives with nature , and with her clan in Alaska. She believes that there has been a WWWIII . She goes off to find food , and when she comes back , the clan is gone. She also has some abilities , and she can be one with nature.

Miles finds some emails from his dad, and tries to find her. He wants to get back into his father good graces.

Juneau has used an oracle , and knows to be on the lookout for Miles. He finds her, and he has many questions for her. She knows that she is to travel with him. They slowly get to know one another, and there is slight attraction to each other.  Many secrets come to light, and many of them are having Juneau question her beliefs and her clan. Miles and Juneau do have a major disagreement.

This is my first time reading this author. I enjoyed the different point of views. I loved that they both grew and changed during the book. Juneau had the most changes and let downs . I didn't like the cliffhanger , but it ended at a good spot. Miles and his observations were spot on about her world. Juneau world was more cultish with their lack of information. Overall I enjoyed this world, and the characters. I want to see what happens with in the next book.

OMG Read this book

Holly loves the chapel . She has worked there her entire life. Her grandpa passes away, and leaves her to run it. She gets a letter from her Grandpa, and has to hand a letter it to the enemy Dax.

Dax is interested in her, and they slowly fall in love, but they are keeping the relationship a secret. She tries many different things to save the chapel. Her parents are divorced but working together. She also has some good friends that help at the chapel. Her brother and sister , are also helping with the chapel.

I loved seeing this family. I love the romance, and that they both loved their families. This was very cute . I loved that Holly was smart, and that she was a numbers girl. I loved the letter that her Grandpa wrote to her. I also loved seeing a family dealing with grief.

This is a cute story and a light read. I loved that families were present , and that they parented. I loved the romance. I also that they got to see parts of the world. This did remind me of Gayle Forman's Just one day/year series.

Book Review= B-/C

Jersey lives in a small town in Missouri  that has tornados. She is best friends with Janie and Dani. Ronnie is her step father, and she doesn't really call him dad. Jersey was in the home when the tornado destroyed the area. Kolby is her neighbor who helps her out. Jersey is tossed to and fro like a tornado , and meets her family who she doesn't know at all. She is missing her sister Marin. While being tossed to the different homes, she learns something about her mom, and also about her family.

This book was good, and I loved that Jersey is dealing with grief and family. Jersey is torn away from everyone that means something to her. I loved the little conversations with Kolby. This book was very light on romance, and this book did touch on religion, but it wasn't the main focus.

Book Review= B+
