  **REVIEW**                                      **We were lucky enough to win an ARC of this book**   This is Scarlet's story. In book 3 of the "Temptation" series, Cade learns that he has a half brother and sister. I suggest that you read the "Temptation" series, not that you need to but you meet the other characters from those books in this one. Plus, that series is amazing!!!! Lying with Temptation(#1), Acting on Temptation(#2) and Fighting Temptation(#3).   Scarlet is a middle class woman who is getting ready to go to school. She walks in on her boyfriend doing something she never thought that he would do. She went crazy. I have to say, I was literally cracking up at that part.   Ryder... sweet Jesus did I swoon!

She moves back to start college with her friends. She tries to keep to herself. She doesn't want to run into Asher, a boy who broke her heart.   Asher did not have a normal childhood. With his brother leaving and his mother dying, he is left to deal with his abusive father.   This is not your typical love story where its all lovey dovey and roses! This is the exact opposite!   From the first page, I couldn't help but be drawn in. I have never read a book by this author, but let me just say, that she DID NOT disappoint!! The things that poor Asher had to deal with literally broke my heart!!! I felt for him! It was such a shame to what he had to endure. He never told anyone. His best friend Zane was always there for him but he never said a word.   I am really looki...

Review What can I say about this book? Well lets just say that Stacy Borel DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!   I was waiting... very impatiently I add... for this book to go live! You know when you turn out to be an Amazon stalker, waiting to one click? Yeah that was totally me!! I wont deny it!!!   Ok, so Keegan is usually left to take care of her sister and her studies are taking a toll because of it. Her best friend, Macie, suggests that she moves out to gain some freedom. She looks at a few and the final one is a good one to her. The good looking guy, Dodger, shows her everything. He is friendly and she likes it there... Little does she know that its actually his brothers place. I seriously laughed out loud when Camden appeared, with his rude and ignorant self!   Now, there's Camden, Dodgers brother. At first I laughed, then I wanted to punch him and then I swooned. Yes, in that exact order!!! He was arrogant and had a chip on his shoulder! I wanted to sma...

**Review** **I was gifted a copy by the author**   This book... DAMN! Seriously! Not even joking!   Sybil is an only child. Her parents died when she was younger and her Grandmother took care of her. She smart and witty. She just wants to finish school. She isnt looking for love. Love actually finds her... well bumps into her.... and then tragedy strikes. It leaves her heartbroken. She doesn't know how to go on. With the help of her friends she is able to regain her strength.   This is not her typical "Awe" story at all...   I am not even going to attempt to say anymore because it would spoil the entire book. This book is no joke and will have you wanting to throw your kindle. You will cry, laugh and LOVE the hell out of this book! The songs... oh man, the songs in this book are beyond perfect and it really gets to you!!!! Within the very first page, I was drawn in! You know the type of book that your up all night reading...
