Hi Everyone!!!As promised here's my review on Just For Now By Abbi Glines...

Just for Now (Sea Breeze #4)


My Rating: 3 Stars


Favourite Quote:

“Hearts don’t realize they’ve been lied to. They still love anyway.”

My Opinion:

 When I found out there was going to be a book about Preston and Amanda I was over the moon.Like suuuuuuuper excited!!!So when I finally read the book,I realized it wasn't what I expected it to be...

 Amanda has been in love with Preston her whole life.She tries to make him notice her so hard that it sometimes seems pathetic.And did I mention that she's a stalker.Oh yeah,she is.At the very first page of the book,Amanda has followed Preston in a party where she actually(kind of)lost her virginity to him.The whole scene was a little too much for me cause he was drunk and he actually didn't even remember what happened afterwards or that he hurt her instead of pleasure her.So,after some months have gone by she's still after him even though he has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with her.Some pages after,we see Preston finally giving in and having a relationship with Amanda.They get to know each other better and they realize that there were a lot of things they didn't know about each other.However,what Amanda still doesn't know is how Preston makes ends meet....

 I liked the book.I thought it was ok but I just hated the whole "whining" thing by both the main characters.I actually thought that Preston was mature and very respondible and reliable.The way he took care of his siblings was just WOW and I don't think that if anyone else in his age would have done what he did if they were in his place.As far as Amanda is concerned,I didn't really like her.She was immature,she didn't get that most people actually have to work to make a living and the thing that frustrated me the most was that in everything she did she always thought "What will my mother say?".Come on girl grow up!If she really "loved" him she wouldn't care what anyone said.

 Oh...In this book we also see again characters from previous books such as Low and Marcus and may others!!!

 I can't say that I strongly recommend this but if you enjoy reading realistic books mixed with YA romance then this book is just for you!!! What I strongly recommend though,is reading the previous books of the series...

Breathless

By Cole Gibsen

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


“Remember when I asked you how I would know if I loved you?I figured it out—I do.” Bastin

What an incredible book!!!Breathless is the first book I read by Cole Gibsen and I'm very impressed by her ability to put together such an emotional novel.I can't say that it gripped my attention from the first page but it surelly did from the second page till the last.

I loved the main characters!!!Edith and Bastin were so unpredictable,loyal and both "prisoners"to their fathers' wil.Despite the differences between their worlds they not only managed to develop a relationship but they taught each other the importance of being loved.Bastin was so adorable at times,asking all those awkward questions,and so very romantic.On the other side,Edith was controlled,expectable since her stepfather works in the air force,and in great need of affection.

I really liked this book.Not only was the plot original but each chapter was in a firm accordance with the previous one.Not once did I get confused or lost.Yet,when I finished Breathless I wished to read a sequel for it.I would like to know how things progressed between Bastin and Edith,between Edith and her aunt,between her mother and her stepfather(a real douchebag )and anyway I would have really liked to read a second book.

Nevertheless,I totally recommend this book.You won't be disappointed.

Spirit Bound  (Sisters of the Heart, #2)

By Christine Feehan

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Spirit Bound is an amazing addition to the Sea Haven. series.This book tells the story of Judith and Lev's older brother Stefan.Both Judith and Stefan are tortured souls with a tormented past.They come together at the most sensitive time.Well,not exactly but something like that.

Stefan is in a new mission,one that includes tricking Judith into believing that he is someone else,someone he would like to be,someone who could freely love and live but the truth is that non of this is true.Not for Stefan.Dtefan believes that he's uncrupulous,a man without emotions and loyalty but when he's with Judith everything is different.He feels.Everything.

On the other hand,Judith is amiable,gentle,polite,kind and full of life.Despite her hunted past she survives and leads a happy but yet lacking life.Being with Thomas,aka Stefan,fulfills her.They desire the same things,want and need the same things.

In this book we also get to see the bond between the sisters and how well they communicate with each other.We also see how Lev and Rikki's realationship has progressed and how protective they are with each other.

It's a stupendous book that explores the many angles of love and pain and the tiny line that seperates them.In order to read it you should previously read Water Bound so that you understand what's going on.I absolutely recommend this book and I can't wait to read the following book in the series

Blurb:
Lethal undercover agent Stefan Prakenskii knew a thousand ways to kills a man—and twice as many ways to pleasure a woman. That’s what made him look forward to his new mission: arrive in the coastal town of Sea Haven and insinuate himself in the life of an elusive beauty who had mysterious ties to his past, and a link to a dangerously seductive, and equally elusive master criminal who wanted only one thing: to possess her.

Judith Henderson was an artist on the rise—an ethereal, and haunted woman whose own picture-perfect beauty stirred the souls of two men who have made her their obsession. For years she has been waiting for someone to come and unlock the passion and fire within her—waiting for the right man to surrender it to. But only one man can survive her secrets, and the shadow she has cast over both their lives.
