With a Twist (Bad habits #1)

Súvisiaci obrázok

The first book from the Bad habits series form Staci Hart is With a twist. I started reading it based on Goodreads recommendation, and I have to tell you it was everything I hoped for.

West Williams has been friends with Lily since the day she moved into their building and he saved her armoire from a swift, sudden death by staircase. Their friendship has always been easy, the boundaries clearly defined. With neither of them willing to risk their relationship, they’ve drifted happily through the years as companions, never considering more. When Lilys teenager crush Blaine breaks up with his always on and off girlfriend Nadia, she takes the opportunity and hooks up with Blaine. But instead of the imagined prince, he behaves like a douchbag, leaving Lily wondering if there is ever going to be more between them. West is having a really hard time accepting, that Lily found someone in whom she is interested. After some stupid moves from Blaine, Lily finally realises that he is never going to be the prince of her dreams. Luckily for us, West and Lily finds their way, and they end up together. 

Lily Thomas is one of the sweetest, smartest and hardest working female main characters I ever met. Since she met Blaine for the first time she was daydreaming about him, but the real him was very different of the dreams. Although she takes her obsession with Blain to the extreme,  I get it where she is coming from. To want somebody or something, so long so bad and finally have it... You want your dreams come true. You want to believe it is as you imagined. You are ready to compromise, to deny so it can be true. And when reality comes? Well, you can do nothing just watch your dreams crumble. I respect Lily and I look up at her. She is strong, she gets through everything life is throwing at her, and in the end she gets her reward. I just wish it worked like this in the real world too.

West Williams is a serious hottie with a brain. I mean Columbia university? Wow... He has a brain, charms, a beard, long soft hair what a girl grabs onto when he.... Sorry I got a bit carried away. Anyway, he feels so strongly about his friends and family. He is protective and I really love how he treats her sister. He is not afraid to show everybody, that he adores her. After he realises that he is in love with Lily its really hard on him to watch his loved one get hurt, but he knows that it's the only way Lily is going to get over Blaine. And being a real gentleman ( I have to tell you I am starting to love gentlemen in books) he takes Lily on a real date, restaurant, flowers, candles and all... 

I loved the way how their friends were reacting to the news of their love... They knew it and thought that nothing surprising happend there. Seriously, it was so obvious, they spent most of their free time together,they were in opera together, had keys to each others apartment and West watched  The Notebook with Lily!!

Staci Hart is an amazing writer, the humor is equally part of her books, like the pain heartache. She can make you smile, cry, laugh out loud and curse. I am definetly going to read the next book in this series, and most ikely all of her books.

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)

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...
