Review: Eleanor and Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge

For almost two years now, Kiera's boyfriend, Denny, has been everything she's ever wanted: loving, tender and endlessly devoted to her. When they head off to a new city to start their lives together, Denny at his dream job and Kiera at a top-notch university, everything seems perfect. Then an unforeseen obligation forces the happy couple apart.
Feeling lonely, confused, and in need of comfort, Kiera turns to an unexpected source—a local rock star named Kellan Kyle. At first, he's purely a friend that she can lean on, but as her loneliness grows, so does their relationship. And then one night everything changes...and none of them will ever be the same.

This book is hot. Like, literally hot, on freaking fire hot. I liked it. Ok, I really liked it. But, I can't say that I loved it. Book 2, Effortless, now that one I loved. Just to tease you! :) Both Thoughtless and Effortless are sexy and awesome and while I don't condone cheating (what kind of a person would I be if I did) I do condone following your heart and I know stuff gets tough and life happens ( I do try not to judge). This book is about life happening. And boy does it happen, a lot. ;)

I started hearing about this book through lists like: You've read 50 Shades now read these... And I was all, ehhh, why not. I mean, did I read 50? Yes. But, did I love it? Not really, no. It was a good escape but not for everyone. So when a book is recommended to me through that one, I'm a little skeptical which is understandable, correct? But this series, I'm enjoying this series. I'm glad I checked it out and can't wait for more! Where 50 Shades is steamy this one is real and real is so much more fun for me.

Back to Thoughtless. Kiera and her boyfriend move in together states away from her hometown. They move in with a friend of his who happens to be an extremely hot musician. When work forces Denny away for a while Kiera and Kellan grow close, neither want to hurt their friend but with the chemistry between them it's only a matter of time. There were some parts of the book that completely wowed me, then others where I found myself skipping ahead. It is a great read, and one I definitely recommend!

The entire book was perfectly frustrating. I loved that about it. S.C. couldn't have made it any better in my eyes. It did make me run to Edelweiss and put book 2 on my iPad immediately. That's how you're supposed to feel after a great book, right? The love triangle in Thoughtless is one that there is no right choice, it's all about choosing one and hurting the other. There were a lot of times that I was unsure who Kiera was going to pick, S.C. definitely kept my eyes glued to the pages!

It's hard to write this review as both this book and the next run together for me, they flow effortlessly. As Kiera and Kellan's relationship builds and Kiera and Denny's comes crashing around them this book gets intense, nail biting and fist clenching intense. The love story that is woven throughout this heartbreaking read is beautiful and crazy at the same time. It's a wild ride full of sexual frustration, stolen kisses, promiscuity, hot guys, and more.

Blog Tour: And I Darken by Kiersten White

Top Ten YA Books That Use Genre to Tell True Stories My favorite genres are the ones that use non-real-world elements, such as sci-fi, dystopian, fantasy, and historical fiction. When done right, it’s exactly those larger-than-life elements that tell the truest parts of the story. I wanted to examine how good people get to the point where they can commit atrocities in the name of their goals. Using a gender-swapped, notorious historical figure made an odd sort of sense. I could explore everything I wanted to, but on a grand, lavish scale. And even though And I Darken is set in the 1400s, the parallels to today’s political and cultural climate are inescapable. I hope it feels visceral and familiar, in spite of the centuries between us. In that vein, I selected ten books I feel use their genre to tell the truest, most timely stories they can. 1–2. Alexandra Duncan’s SALVAGE and SOUND Both of these books are sci-fi, set in the future where space travel and even colonization are a reality

Weekly Round-Up 9/2

Weekly Round-Up is my wrap-up of last week's activities and includes what I'm reading this week, reviews I've posted, books in the mail and anything else of interest plus From the Library, my weekly listing of what I've checked out from the library. This week I'm reading Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard and then finishing The Cuckoo's Calling and listening to The Peculiar by Stefan Bachmann, read by Peter Altschuler. I'm reading Nick and Tesla's High-Voltage Lab   by Bob Pflugfelder and Steve Hockensmith with my son right now. I think I will start featuring the chapter and middle grade books we are reading together. Last week I reviewed She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith. Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard The year is 1876, and there’s something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia… Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about. Her brother has gone missing, her family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is d

Review: Change Places With Me by Lois Metzger

Review: CHANGE PLACES WITH ME is a quiet, unassuming book that will unfortunately slip by a lot of readers. But it's a subtly disturbing book that makes you pause and think and wonder. Lois Metzger's beautifully written prose is haunted and almost lyrical. This book is definitely ... different. I'm not sure exactly what I expected when I started it, but I don't think it was this. It was a pleasant surprise. This book can only be described as a mystery shrouded in an enigma.  It's a fairly fast read, but I loved taking my time and savoring over the course of an afternoon. Metzger's writing and her heroine, Rose, are compelling and make for a great narrative. ABOUT CHANGE PLACES WITH ME: Rose has changed. She still lives in the same neighborhood with her stepmother and goes to the same high school with the same group of kids, but when she woke up today, something was just a little different than it was before. The dogs who live upstairs are no longer a terror. He
