Review: Personal Foul

Personal Foul Personal Foul by Hayley Faiman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I like this book. I think it started out really strong. Sweet girl, Jessa, abandoned by her parents moves in with boyfriend, Trent, and his family. He holds that over her head and tells her that she owes him everything because of it. When they go off to college he is playing football and starts to get out of control. He is such a jerk that you really don’t even feel bad when she cheats on him with one of his coaches, Cole. Although he is 20 years older than Jessa, he feels a connection to her that he cannot ignore. They have a whole bunch of issues that they have to fight their way through before their story gets some happiness to it. There are some mild instances of sexual assault and harassment. Jessa is a bit on the weak side. She does seem a little too dependent on other people and has a tendency to let men control her life. Given the fact that she never had a dad around to take care of her and protect her it is not surprising. I would like to have seen her get a bit more confidence. The epilogue did a pretty good job of wrapping up a few of the loose ends, but I really would like to have heard a bit about Ines and how things worked out with the professor that she got together with…. Like did he really leave his wife and marry her? Or was Jessa right in having a feeling that something was off in that situation? But I was basically happy with how things ended up for Jessa and Cole and I would recommend this book to friends.

  Timeless by Kaylene Winter          4.75 🌟  4 🔥 Absolutely LOVE this series!! And I am not sure if I am ready for the Encore books yet..... but I will get into them soon! This is a childhood friends to lovers story that spans decades. Both Fiona and Zane have a lot of family issues to sort through on their own and they have always been a huge support for each other.... the one thing that was always solid. Until her mom took her away claiming that Zane was going to be just like his father. These 2 go through so much to be together that I was feeling gutted through out the entire book! And I was constantly getting mad at the different obstacles that kept blocking them from their happily ever after! And when they are together..... they are HOT 🔥🔥🔥. The only thing that I was unhappy about with this book was ..... DAMMIT! When can we find out if Carter and Lianne get back together FOR GOOD?!?!?

                                                                               Stealing Heats by Lex Martin     4.25🌟 4🔥      This book was JUST what I needed!  It was hot, fast-paced, a bit of suspense, and a woman-you-love-to-hate!  Brother's best friend, but with the added angst that the brother died Rhett wants to save his family's ranch and the only way he can get a loan is to be married.  Paige needs to rehab an injury, but has no insurance to do it.  So win/win.  And then they go and let feelings get involved.  But with the way that Paige seamlessly fits right into his family with all his brothers, there was no way that feelings wouldn't come about.... not to mention the history and Paige's ch...

  Promise Me Not by Meagan Brandy          5🌟 2🔥 Definitely worth the wait! This was a SUPER SLOW BURN book! So if you are looking for spice, it isn't here!  But if you are looking for a heart felt, gut wrenching tale of love lost, then found again.... you are in the right place!  Mason was such a hot AF super alpha and was ready to take charge right away.  He knew he wanted it all and he wanted it with Payton!  Chase was sticking his meddling nose in where it didn't belong (AGAIN) and I was ready to figure out how to jump into the book just to punch him in the face!  But then look at him trying to redeem himself!  We shall see!  This story must have been a tough one for Meagan to tell.... they guilt and pain that Payton feels through out the whole book, over EVERYTHING and EVERYONE that she really has contact with.  But most of all the guilt about Deaton (the decease father of her son), Little D(eaton) and Mason. I...
