I really loved and enjoyed these books/chapters. I would love to read more of series/serials they belong to. I wasn't sure how to write really lengthy reviews for them. Of course I always think that and then my review ends up being four paragraphs or more. Hopefully I'll be able to avoid that. If not, then oh well. :)

Date published: May 13th, 2014
Synopsis: A twisty story about love, loss, and lies, this contemporary oceanside adventure is tinged with a touch of dark magic as it follows seventeen-year-old Wendy Darling on a search for her missing surfer brothers. Wendy’s journey leads her to a mysterious hidden cove inhabited by a tribe of young renegade surfers, most of them runaways like her brothers. Wendy is instantly drawn to the cove’s charismatic leader, Pete, but her search also points her toward Pete's nemesis, the drug-dealing Jas. Enigmatic, dangerous, and handsome, Jas pulls Wendy in even as she's falling hard for Pete. A radical reinvention of a classic, Second Star is an irresistible summer romance about two young men who have yet to grow up--and the troubled beauty trapped between them.

Until I met Natalie, I never realized there were women who thought like me. She enjoys sex with no strings, and with a body like that, there isn’t a man around who doesn’t want a piece of her—including me.

Memorial Day
For those who don't know, Memorial Day is a national holiday in the United States to honor and remember those who have fallen in its defense. These days Memorial Day is synonymous with the official start of Summer and the beach/BBQs/pool/parties/etc. Please take a moment out of your day today and reflect on those who have given their lives so we can enjoy our day off at the beach/pool/parties/BBQs.
Thank you is so insignificant but it's the only place I know where to start.
Happy Memorial Day!

My Review
★ ★ ☆☆☆
Elevator Heat was not what I was expecting.
I couldn't really get into it. The only reason why I finished this book, is because I actually wanted to know what was going to happen to the characters. While I didn't like it very much, it did keep my attention.
I didn't like how the book went back and forth through the two main characters point of view. They just kept repeating everything, but from each characters point of view. It would have been much better if it was just from one point of view, or if each point of view explained something different.
I think the title of this book is very misleading. The book is called Elevator Heat, but they didn't do anything until the end of the book. The entire time they were stuck in the elevator, they only talked. Yes, every book has to start somewhere, but this book just got worse and worse for me.
I thought it wasn't very realistic. The two characters were in love with each other, but they barely said ten words to each other. Okay maybe it was love at first sight, but there was nothing in the book that led to that.
Over all I really couldn't get into this book. The title and the description is what hooked me, but the book itself did not follow through.

Review: In Pursuit by Olivia Luck
Rating:★★★1/2 stars
Date published: February 11th, 2014
Synopsis: Eddie Neff needs space. Not the type that country stars croon about, but physical distance from her emotionally distant father and the tatters of a broken relationship. So when the opportunity to relocate her life and interior design business arises, the answer comes easily.
Adjusting to life with Claire, her gregarious new roommate, is more than simply testing comfort limits. With just one meeting, Eddie finds herself unable to resist the draw of Harris Grant, Claire’s brooding and overprotective older brother.
Harris doesn’t fit her idea of a safe relationship. He pushes Eddie to face her deepest insecurities and fears of abandonment. And Harris holds on to his own painful loss, unable to overcome personal demons.
Eddie and Harris must learn to conquer their internal struggles. But as they navigate their new love, outside forces fight to drive them apart.

Blog Tour and Review: Strings of the Heart by Katie Ashley
Date published: May 12th, 2014
Synopsis: Twenty year old, Allison Slater has been in love with her brother’s bandmate, Rhys McGowan, since she was fifteen years old. But to him, she’ll always be Jake’s little sister and off limits. Now a college sophomore and licking her wounds from a bad breakup, she sets her sights on making Rhys see her as someone he could date…maybe even love. Her opportunity comes when Rhys visits his parents in Savannah where she is attending college. But the night she’s dreamed of turns to heart-break, and she realizes she’ll never be the one for Rhys.
For Rhys McGowan, his nightmare began when he woke up, naked and hung-over, next to his bandmate’s little sister. Unable to remember a thing from the previous night, he only makes matters worse by lying to Allison about not being interested in her. The truth is he’s spent the last year to ignore his body’s reaction whenever Allison is around. His resolve is tested when Allison comes on tour with Runaway Train, as both Jake and Abby’s nanny and to fulfill her fashion design internship. The more time he spends with her in the close quarters of the bus, the harder it is for him to resist.
Will Rhys realize that having a relationship with Allison is worth fighting for even if it means that he has to fight his best friend for a chance?

Review: The Trap by Beverley Kendall
Date published: May 5th, 2014
Synopsis: Looking back, I should have seen it coming.
Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid.
But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough.
She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that.
The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen.
And like an idiot I walked right into it.
And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.

Review: Catch a Falling Star by Kim Cutberson
Date Published: April 29th, 2014
Synopsis: A deliciously charming novel about finding true love . . . and yourself.
Nothing ever happens in Little, CA. Which is just the way Carter Moon likes it. But when Hollywood arrives to film a movie starring former child star turned PR mess Adam Jakes, everything changes. Carter's town becomes a giant glittery set and, much to her annoyance, everyone is starry-eyed for Adam. Carter seems to be the only girl not falling all over herself to get a glimpse of him. Which apparently makes her perfect for the secret offer of a lifetime: playing the role of Adam's girlfriend while he's in town, to improve his public image, in exchange for a hefty paycheck. Her family really needs the money and so Carters agrees. But it turns out Adam isn't at all who she thought he was. As they grow closer, their relationship walks a blurry line between what's real and what's fake, and Carter must open her eyes to the scariest of unexplored worlds - her future. Can Carter figure out what she wants out of life AND get the guy? Or are there no Hollywood endings in real life?
