Wasted words (Austen #1)

Súvisiaci obrázok



After finishing Staci Harts Bad Habits series I immediately started her next series which is called Austen. The first book in this series is Wasted words.

According to Cam some universal truths refuse to be ignored, like peanut butter and jelly are a match made in heaven. Spaghetti and meatballs are best friends forever. And guys like Tyler Knight don’t go for girls like Cam Emerson.

She knew from the second she met him that he didn’t belong on her bookshelf (according to Cam everybody belongs to one of the booshelves and you can only be happy, when you find somebody to love from your shelf).
I lived a thousand lives to escape from real life, because real life is boring and shitty. There’s no adventure, not like we get with Tolkien or Lewis.
So she shelved him next to the supermodels and rock stars and took her place on her own shelf. Tyler was friend zoned.
I’d always sorted people, just like books in the Dewey Decimal System, where everything had its place.
Since Cam does not have any love life, she loves to play Cupid at her job in the book bar Wasted Words, as her stomping ground. A career-ending injury turned Tyler Knight into a sports agent. After a horrible breakup, he meets with Cam who is in need of a friend and a roommate. Since she made it perfectly clear she’s not interested in him —at least she tries (really, really hard) not to be interested— he leaves her in it, but if she ever changes her mind, he won’t hesitate. As smart and witty Cam is and as much as she can play Cupid, some matches exist just in her head. 

Cam Emerson is really smart, witty, but seriously hard headed and hates loose. So when her friend falls in love with another man than what she planned out, she makes a scene, behaves like a child, and angers everybody. Thankfully, she realises her misktake, and apologises to everyone. Compared to how smart she is, she can't see herself realistically. With Tyler she believes, that it is (he is) too good to be true. The favorite part of her work is that she is working in a book-manga-club-coffee-bar. And organising every week singles night, where she can play Cupid and make matches. She had a whole bag of insecurities, including Tyler being too good to be true. 
To be with someone, to live with someone who you thought you loved and who loved you, only to have them leave you for faults that you believed were strengths, was disorienting to say the least.
Tyler Knight is a hottie, whose dreams were crushed in a second in a field. Sport was his life, so when an opportunity to do a sports agent is given, he doesn't hesitate to take it. He likes his, job, but its Cam who makes him realise, just to be alive is not enough. He has to live. He is just as hard headed as Cammy, so when the two of them get into the fight he is not listening. Part of me understands it. Cams insecurities are still in the way. Part of me wanted to hit him. Cam was working is way through it, but it is not going to be gone just after one day of working on it. And it's definitely not going to vanish into the air just because Tyler made her promise they're done and it's in the past. 
He had a collection of cardigans that would give Mister Rogers a boner,
After a few (and a few more) obstacles they work their way to each other, and live their happily ever after. This book was funny and full of hurt, and heartache. I understood Cam, because, I may look like to my friend and family as a confident woman, I have my insecurities, I was bullied, and was always considered a nerd. 

Staci Hart wrote an amazing book again, and I can't wait to start the next one.

Fallen Crest High (Fallen Crest High #1)

Image
It was a bit long time ago when I last wrote about a book. This time I started from a new author: Tijan, her series Fallen Crest High. The first book from the series is named the same the whole series. I have to tell you I was genuinely surprised by the book. I reeeeally loved it. Mason and Logan Kade are two brothers who did their own thing. They were rich and expected to attend Samanthas school, Fallen Crest Academy. They chose public school instead and now Samantha has to live with them. The problem is that she doesn't care at all: about them, about her friends, about her cheating boyfriend, or even about her parent's divorce. It is until rumor starts about her and the "Oh, so famous" Kade brothers, and until Logan Kade decides the he likes her, and takes her under his, and of course, Masons protective wings. Well, beside the Kade brother there is the ex boyfriend, and the friend who wants to be the boyfriend. There are the other girls, who are jumping fo...

Hardcore (#1, #2 & #3)

Image
The next series I started was Hardcore, also from Staci Hart. I have to tell you it was a long time ago, I've had such mixed feelings about a book. Volume one I liked, volume two not so much, but volume three I loved so much. People don’t change. They’re only revealed. Cory James has never known a life where she wasn’t running. Running from the cops, her home, her past. Running from love. The only time she’s free is when she throws on her hood and takes to the roofs to run. Stealing is nothing, lying inevitable, byproducts of survival. A way for Cory to provide for herself and for her younger sister, Jill, give her the life Cory couldn’t have. For five years, Cory built a house of cards, where the first card has fallen when she met Van and it was only just a matter of time before her whole house of cards is in danger of falling apart. She can tell herself over and again that she doesn’t care, but even she knows it’s a lie.  Today marked the first step toward betraying hi...
