REVIEW: Forever with You (Fixed #3) – Laurelin Paige

Released: January 13th, 2013

Alayna Withers relationship with Hudson Pierce has tested both her and his ability to trust. They decide that the only way they can move forward together is with open doors and transparency. It won’t be easy for the scarred lovers, but they’re committed to each other more now than ever. Alayna, in particular, has grown through their trials, and has emerged more confident and faithful to the man she loves.

But while the pair is focused on the future, their past shows up again to threaten their fragile bond. Promises that were made are broken, and Alayna learns that Hudson still has very potent secrets—secrets that will tear them both apart. As much as she feels for him, her ability to forgive and forget is tested beyond her limits.

Even though she found the only man who could fix her, a forever with Hudson seems more and more out of reach. 
"Problem is, no matter how good the flight, you always have to come back down eventually. And lots of times, that return is a free fall."
This series was fucking amazing. No words. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. With each sequel, the series just gets better and better. And I really have to say that this book was the best. Secrets revealed, their trust is tested, and their problems are far from over. When their pasts catch up with them, it's hard to keep evading it and, so in the final installment of the Fixed series, everything unravels wonderfully. The intricate plot done so perfectly just blew me the fuck away.

I am so fucking happy. Deliriously happy. You wanna know why? Because this is probably the first ever series where the sequels keep getting better and better. Some series I've read in the past, the first book was fantastic then the second one was just a flop. It sucks.

But this? HOLY SHIT. I am so goddamn happy with this series, you have no fucking idea. Pardon my use of curse words because this book definitely deserves my excited raving. 

Because I love Jack's character so much. I'm going to start off with a few lines from him because he's just the cutest little fucker. You have to read the books in order because everything just unwinds perfectly. First, Jack and Mira.

Jack: “She’s not speaking to me either.”
Mira: “Serves you right.”
Jack: “Can’t figure out what I have to do to get this one to stop speaking to me.”
Mira: “Daddy!”
 and then there's his relationship with Hudson.

Jack: “[to Laynie] I’m glad you’re still here. In his life, I mean. Even though he’s a stubborn oaf that blames me for all the wrongs in my relationship with his mother—“
Hudson: “Are you saying that you aren’t at fault?”
Jack: “He’s speaking to me!”
Ain't he the cutest?

Moving on. As you all know from my previous reviews of this series (links can be found in the book links section) I absolutely loooove Hudson. He's a man of many mysteries. He's got a pretty dark past and it's fucking fantastic. I love how the guy actually admits his mistakes even though he's definitely ashamed of them.

But, here and now, with Laynie, he's aiming for salvation. He's repenting for all his mistakes and wrongdoings by doing it right with Alayna and boy is he a piece of work.

“Where is the road to your heart?”
With one finger, he lifted my chin to meet his eyes. “Don’t you know? You’re the one who paved it.”
HOW DO YOU NOT MELT WITH THIS MAN? I mean, sometimes cheesy quotes just put me off, but coming from Hudson fucking Pierce? Hell, I'd pay this man just to talk to me.

Hudson still has a hard time trusting Alayna and for a good reason because when everything unravels in the end?

I was attached to this book so quickly. Not only because of the wonderful character with their mistakes and their flaws, but the moving and deeply heartbreaking plot. I was shattered by the end. I kept reading and reading. I read in the bathroom, in the car, in my room, on my bed, hell, I even tried to read in class. I was so drawn to all the characters and the book itself. 

Towards the end of the book, I was sobbing like a baby. I kept thinking, why why why. Everything was going so well for them and then this one fuckup just ruined it. I probably finished a whole box of tissues. My God, this book was just so beautifully written and heart-wrenching. 

This is fantastic for fans of the Fifty Shades and Crossfire series.

REVIEW: Found in You – Laurelin Paige

Released: September 30th, 2013

Alayna Withers has only had one kind of relationship: the kind that makes her obsessive and stalker-crazy. Now that Hudson Pierce has let her into his heart, she’s determined to break down the remaining walls between them so they can build a foundation that’s based on more than just amazing sex. Except Hudson’s not the only one with secrets.

With their pasts pulling them into a web of unfounded mistrust, Alayna turns to the one person who knows Hudson the best—Celia, the woman he almost married. Hoping for insight from someone who understands all sides of the story, Alayna forms a bond with Celia that goes too far—revealing things about Hudson that could end their love for good.

This is the first relationship where Alayna hasn’t spiraled out of control. And she might lose Hudson anyway…
"We certainly loved each other. There was no question about that. But loving a person didn't necessarily make you right for them – didn't make them a good person to be in your world."
This book was even BETTER than Fixed on You. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be that good. But here, I fall in love more and more with Alayna and Hudson as their trust is threatened and their future possibly compromised. With more secrets revealed, and even more hidden, this book was intense, heart-breaking, exhilarating. Fucking fantastic read!

HOLY SHIT. Okay, this book definitely impressed me. I admit that I wasn't into this series when I read the first book (You can read my review here) because I just wasn't into the too fast-paced romance.

However, when I thought about it again, I realized that their circumstances were different. They never did have a normal relationship. They've both had pasts they were ashamed of and it was hard for them. And for the first time, they have something different. Something real and beautiful.

Alayna. This girl just makes me love her more and more with each thing she says. She's fucking wonderful. Yes, maybe she is a bit crazy but her good points totally trumps over all that. She's such a compassionate woman and she cares, despite her jealous streak.
I turned to her and found her expression had softened. It occurred to me that she was comparing herself to me as much as I compared myself to Celia, that she was measuring her flaws against mine. It was enough to send a person into dark depression.
How sweeter can she be? My God. My God. I love this woman so much. She's so kind and generous. She's not selfish, although sometimes envious, but not of wealth. She's always honest and I admire that trait. It's difficult to be honest when it's embarrassing to be.
"No matter what shit you've pulled, you've never denied it. That was one reliable thing about you – you were always willing to admit your mistakes." – Brian
FUCK YES! I just… HIGH FIVE!

And then there's Hudson. Sighhhhh. Hudson Pierce.


He is a dark man. He has dark secrets and an even darker past. He's done things he's not proud of but who hasn't? It was tough for him because he was an amateur at this just as much as Alayna was. But, even if it was hard for him to say what he feels, he can say the sweetest things.
"You're the first person I've ever met who makes me believe I might not be crazy. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."
SWEET MAMA! How do you not melt with that? And not only that, we learn that he also speaks French AND Japanese. This man is just full of surprises.
"Oui. Plus tard, quand tu es enveloppée dans mes bras, je vais en parler jusqu'à ce que tu en frissonnes de plaisir."
Which then translates to:
"Yes. Later, when you're wrapped around me. I'll speak it until you shudder with delight."
I think I just wet my panties. Whew *fans self*

Not only are the main character super fucking amazing, even the supporting ones are too! Even the evil ones. I loved Jack, Mira, Adam, Brian, Celia, Sophia, David, Stacy. They were all so fantastic.

And the plot twist. I was expecting that but I didn't expect it to be that brilliant. That is just cunning. Fucking brilliant!

5 Chapter Reveal of Be With Me by J. Lynn

Released: September 30th, 2013

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Wait for You

Do Teresa and Jase have a real shot at getting together or will life get in the way?

Teresa Hamilton is having a rough year—she's in love with her big brother's best friend, but he hasn't spoken to her since they shared a truly amazing, mind-blowing, life-changing kiss. Then she got out of a terrible relationship. Now an injury is threatening to end her dance career for good. It's time for plan B: college. And maybe she'll have a chance to convince Jase that what they have together is real.

Jase Winstead has a huge secret that he's not telling anyone—especially not his best friend's incredibly beautiful sister. Even though he and Teresa shared the hottest kiss of his life, he knows that his responsibilities must take priority. He certainly doesn't have time for a relationship. But it doesn't help that all he can think about is kissing the one girl who could ruin everything for him.

As they're thrown together more and more, Jase and Teresa can't keep denying their feelings for each other. But a familiar danger looms and tragedy strikes. As the campus recovers, the star-crossed couple must decide what they're willing to risk to be together and what they're willing to lose if they're not. . . .
