The Deal by Elle Kennedy
5.0
That's my face while reading this book. Yup. This book made me happy. Throughout the whole thing I was either giggling, laughing, sniffling, blushing, and then smiling and laughing some more. And I'm not even sorry because heck, with so much shit happening in the world right now, it's nice to find a book that you can unabashedly get yourself lost in. Unexpected because despite its simple plot, this book succeeded in taking over my heart and my mind. Always a good sign for a reader. Like what I said, the plot for this book is simple. Hannah is college girl with a lot of baggage especially when it comes to sex, so when she finally found someone who makes her feel tingly, she was out of her depth especially when he seems to be unaware of her existence. But then solution comes in the form of cocky player Garrett. His life revolves around hockey, so when he failed in one of his subjects, he needed a tutor or else he'll be dropped by the team. When Garrett noticed that Hannah got an A on the same subject, he needled her into agreeing to his tutor. Hannah initially refused but Garrett was persistent. When Garrett found out about her dilemma, he offered a solution: he'll help her land the guy in exchange for a tutoring session. And thus begin their unlikely friendship.

Logan and Grace’s relationship wasn’t easy in the beginning, but I loved that all the pesky relationship drama was over with sooner rather than later. It’s a relief not to have all that happening right at the end of the book! Logan is one of those characters that I connected to immediately. He had so much depth and was willing to sacrifice so much for family and for those that he loved. He was completely devoted and a stand up guy. There were times in the first half that Grace irked me, but overall she was a great character too. I kind of love that she didn’t give in to Logan so easily. I also loved that she was supportive of him and what he felt he needed to do with his life after college.

It's got an arranged engagement/marriage!!! AND it's such a good enemies to lovers romance too. Dante and Vivian hate each other but they've been forced into an engagement neither of them wants. He's being blackmailed by her father and she's agreed out of duty to her parents. She moves into his house for the engraement, they have to pretend to he lovey-davey to the pubic, and PARKS FY During this year-ong engagement, Dante warks with Christian to do everuthing he can to get rid of the blackmail and destroy Vivian's father... all the while slut.. reluctantly falling for his fiancée. The romance was so much fun to read - the way these two apened up to ench. other, connected over their pasts, helped each other with the litte things, and FINALLY fell into bed together was well-written and perfectly paced. There's also two of my favorite things here: a jealous, possessive hero, and GROVELING. A beautiful combination, if I do say so myself. The groveling wasn't quite to the extent of Twisted Love but still loved to see it.

I've been a wh*re for captain hook since once upon a Time, and let's just say after This book.. i continue to be a wh*re for captain hook. The idea of having a series of reimagined fractured fairy tails dedicated to villains getting their happy endings? yes please. and starting out with my favorite villain of all time? YES PLEASE. Hook was everything I've ever wanted. I loved the litte bits of the original peter pan story thrown in there, and the spice was *chefs kiss*, the only reason this wasn't a 5 star was because didn't love Wendy all that much until her badass moment at the end and the confict resoution felt a bit rushed & wrapped up too fast. but I said it before and i’ll. say it again, I’m a wh*re for Captain Hook!!

Nah. Jodih Sonnet done got me fucked up! Like all the way up. This author here knows how to write extreme horror. This short story got me 🤮 that I literally put the book down several times today. I really had to take breaks from the nastiness, disturbing, horrific, grotesque scenes. The main story packs a punch with a lot of horrific violent acts between a stranger, a mother and her two college children on the road in the middle of nowhere. It's scary and nerve racking. I had to stop multiple times during certain chapters. The warning page tells you the truth it's not a hype up page. So you’ve been warned. It's a great extreme horor story. Defintely recommend for horror junkies.

I read This book in Two days, right after I finished "Silence." If was great getting to see Oakley and Cole as adults, and to see how Their lives had Chanded since The end of The first book. Characters from The first book Ben and Kerry make brief appearances, and we get to see more of Mia and Jasper. Learning more about what happened to Oakley and getting closure with that made the book a great addition to the series. and I'm glad that latasha didn't leave us hanging after "Silence!" The third book is a standalone novel that follows Jasper, Oakleys. brother, in the future.

Each "patient file" ended up having a link of sorts as a whole, but each one was about a different patient over The course of a lengthier bit of time. All in the eyes of the therapists notes. While, yes, I knew this book was fiction and probably a bit... alamorized... to make it more interesting was expecting better. better writing. Better sary telling Better tory The behawin of the characters was very out of character for who they were A Therapis who is basicaly staking his patients at Times, and treating his assistant completely innaporpriately,. He even says, "I'm not proud of my actions" on more than one occasion Any therapist that has to say that should not he a therapist anymore. Even a fake book therapist
