Okay, so the start is a bit vague. I have not been to Georgia so I wouldn't know about the weather. And I am not clear why the heroine was there. Weird.
It's a typical and dare I say common plot, the heroine is a city girl and the hero is living a hermet-like life but then he is really not. He is getting away from something nasty from his previous life, which is bigger than the life of the heroine. Get it?
A good short read. I'd like to have read about the hero reconciling with his family. A perfect HEA of course.
I'd give it 3 stars.
By Clarice Winter. The first book in the Spring Valley River series.
This is a very simple story. I would have loved to read some emotions in the breakup of Harper and Brad. I admit, I am a sucker for not only romantic stories but stories that tug to your heart. Not because you have been through what the main characters have been but because, the author has written it so good that you feel it.
For me, what makes this book different from the others with similar plot is that, Brad's parents get to have more dialogue in the book than Brad. I would really like to read more of Brad and what's up with him - what his struggle is, why would he say that he is broken and he is trying to heal.
There are some funny parts though. The discussion between Harper and Audrey are good. I laughed a couple of times.
All in all, not so bad for a very short story. I'd give it 3 stars.
I'd be tempted to buy the other books in the series but I have so many books to go through.

You would think that the book is raunchy based on the cover and title. But no, it isn't really. Matty is really a sweet guy and they didn't have "do" it until they were engaged.
So anyway, it's a sweet read. The story mostly focused on the main characters. I am not really a fan of books written in first person. It is very one sided, of course, that doesn't give you insight as to what the other person is feeling.
This is a light read and a quick one. You'd enjoy it while on the train or aeroplane. Nothing too involved here.

This one is another freebie in a series. The book is good enough. Scarlett is a good girl, strong and wanting to be independent. Dev is a cliche when it comes to having crush and loving someone, someone who's his sister's best friend. He was being an ass.
I like this book because it tells a lot about the heroine, her relationship with the people around him. This is also the reason why I didn't like the book because there's less of Scarlett and Dev. But all the scenes where it mattered, it was good.
This is a cliff-hanging one in a way. Also, it's quite different with some new adult books that I read as it has some explicit sexual language in it.
I discovered a new adult book accidentally one day and I never looked back. I thought that I am more of an adult romance reader but after reading a few of new adults, the earlier genre just doesn't do much for me anymore. Anyway, here's another new adult book that I read this week. This is a freebie in itunes again.
It's your typical high-school romance per se but it has some twist to it. Because the girl didn't end up with her bestfriend that she thought she loves soo much. It is a cliche story but somehow it was relatable for me. The naive girl and the popular guy but the guy is not an asshole. The guy is actually lovable and mature. I'd read more books like this.

Another bodice ripper, I know. Well, I mostly read these type of books anyway so what can you expect. My reason, I always want happy ending. Sure, I read self-help books but they tend to be boring so I read snippets on the net instead.
so, onto this book.
I love, love the heroine. I read a lot of historical books that the characteristic of the heroine is not your usual run of the mill miss. no, she is so unconventional but is considered a breath of fresh air even by Beau Brummel. I seem to know this Beau already. I love that she has a male bestfriend. Everyone should have a male bestfriend. they can give you a different perspective on things.
And the hero, well.. he didn't really do a lot. he should have. there should be another book about them. ugh, I start to hate books that are in series that have cliffhanger ending.
and yet, this one has also HEA.. so mission accomplished, I'd say.
