Synopsis:

 

Ashley Davis is over her high school 'bitch' label and has decided to reinvent herself. College offers a new beginning, a chance to be different. After being assaulted, she's realized that she needs to change and college is just the place to do it. Nobody knows the Ashley she used to be and she'd like to keep it that way. 
Afraid of falling into the same patterns she decides that having no friends, no life and focusing on school is the way to go, but she didn’t bank on someone like Mac as her roommate or the tall, dark and completely geek hot in his glasses, Zeke Whitman.

Ezekiel (Zeke) Whitman is driven and focused when it comes to school. When he's forced to partner with a tall, leggy blonde with a slight attitude, he's thrown for a loop. With so much at stake, Zeke can’t afford distractions and Ashley is certainly that. From their first encounter Zeke sees more than just another gorgeous girl.

As Ashley grapples with leaving the ‘old’ her behind, she realizes that sometimes changing tunes isn't as easy as it sounds. Sometimes you have to keep a little of the person that you were, in order to become the person that you want to be.

My Review:

 

 ARC provided for an honest review.


This is one of those books, that you just can't put down. I really enjoyed this book; the secrets, the characters, the best friend, it was all really good, and at the end it tied into perfection.

Zeke was adorable, awesome in more ways than one. He had his secrets as well but even that wasn't enough to not persue that man. It just made him more awesome. I still would have went for it as well. Just glad Ashley saw it before it was to late.

Mac was the most awesomeness best friend ever walked the planet. Anyone would love to have a friend like that, she wasperfect, and just what Ashley needed, to conquer her future steps she was wanting so desperatly to find. And that she did. What she did to stand up for herself was amazing, took strength and courage, and she found that with the help of her friends and the love of a great man.

I will be looking forward to reading more books by Heather Gunter.

Riding high on the waves of success, Dove Sinclair, lead singer of Tattered Pieces, has it all - until one fateful night her party hard lifestyle almost costs her everything. Stupid and reckless doesn't even begin to describe her actions. Getting arrested definitely wasn't in the game plan, nor was an enforced stay in the Serenity Lakeview Clinic. If Dove wants to keep her band, her career and her life, then there is no alternative. The question is, will rehab force her to deal with the things that have triggered her reckless behavior or will she continue trying hard to forget and fade further into the dark.

Jasper Phillips is the kind of guy everyone loves. He comes from a good family, works hard and seems to have it all. Friendly, positive and popular are words people use to describe Jasper regularly. Sometimes what’s on the outside is only what we want people to see, while on the inside we’re battling demons that are too frightening to describe. When those demons manage to catch up to you, the whispers of their world becomes a very inviting place.

Dove doesn’t understand how Jasper fits in at Serenity Lakeview Clinic but something about him calls to her, awakening her desire to feel alive and normal again. As Jasper battles his inner darkness he is drawn to Dove, all the while fearing that if she gets close enough she won't like what she sees. As Jasper struggles to stay in the light, can he help Dove see what she has right in front of her?

MY REVIEW:

         

Sawyer Says

by: Carey Heywood

 

**ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review**

My rating =  5+ stars & 1 crown for Carey Heywood.

This is a stand-alone, with a HEA.

 

I just absolutely loved this book. Everything about it; the characters, the plot, the story, the good, bad, and the ugly. The way it all came together was perfect. There were some points that I was like WTH, but as I kept reading, I realized that Carey had it under control; she knew exactly what the hell she was doing. I’m not sure if I ever read a bad book by Carey Heywood.

 

As always I never tell the long lengthy story of what the book is about, that’s why the author takes her time to provide you with the blurb.

 

But I will tell you my feelings and point of view of the book.

From page one I was drawn in, possessed, devoted until the very last page. I absolutely loved this book.

It will be in my top 10 for 2014.

 

 

 

Sawyer and Jared were a-frickin-mazing together. Omg- I just loved them. The sex scenes were perfect and hot, the man knew what he was doing. But that’s also what made them so great together, with the feelings they had for eachother, it only made the sex that much better. LoL

I just hate that it took Sawyer a little longer to figure that out. Although, Jared being the wonderful, patient, H-O-T, thoughtful, caring man that he is knew exactly what he wanted.

And, there is nothing hotter than a man knowing what he wants and going for it. Sawyer was one strong girl, went through more than any child her age ever should have. But the way that Carey tied it all together was amazing.

One of the major reasons I think I loved this book so much was because it didn’t have all that damn loving one and accidently screwing another, cheating crap. Although that is ok in a lot of books, this one just didn’t need it, there was enough heart aches, without having that in it. I was a little worried when she went to her old town and met up with Beau again, but was so giddy happy when NOTHING happen are even came close. Sawyer was such a loving person, just needed a little help in knowing how to show it. And after getting all her answers, it showed.

 

Jared was a goddess. He was what every woman would love to have, from beginning to end. He was always one step ahead of Sawyer, and I just thought that was great. Although I do have an awesome husband myself, he just needs a little push sometimes in the romantic category.

He tries, he really does, but it’s hard for him sometimes to just come up with things, when all his life, he was never shown love. But I am blessed to have a man that resembles Jared in many ways :]

 

The ending was awesome, no cliffhanger (thank you so much for that).

 

 

 

 

I can almost picture the scene as I am reading it. That is what is so awesome about this book, when you feel like you are in it, I totally bonded with these characters.

 

Thank you so much Carey Heywood for another wonderful book; you never seem to amaze your readers.
