Ugly, Perfect by Melanie Walker  "This is ugly, perfect, and I am ok with it." This book was a balance of ugly and perfect. With all the ugly, came all the perfect. The hurt.  The sorrow. The laughter. The crying. The friendships. The push. The pull.  This is a bit different from the other books by Mel, BUT never for a second does she slack with her words. I read it within a few hours. A darn good book that I just needed more of! And the ending...sigh.  5 stars

Verity by Colleen Hoover It's been a while since a book could keep my attention. This book did exactly that! From the first few words I was like "what the...?!" and I just kept reading and reading, I was so intrigued! Finished this book in one sitting! A few parts freaked me out and had me changing my sitting position. I also had to put my tablet down for a few seconds to let some of the words process bc it was just so descriptive and real! The ending was.... mind blowing!!! You def want to read this book!!  5 stars!

Fix Me by Melanie Walker  The last book in the TAT series.. and I'm sad to see this series end! While I love each and every character and their books, I've gotta say this book is my favorite! Raw. Real. In depth. Gah, the emotions!  Cal is swoon-worthy with his dirty mouth. I always thought he was hardcore, but everyone has a weak spot. But dont be fooled by that, because hes still a bada**!! Jen struggles to deal with some things. She wants to guard he heart. We've all been there before. The push and pull affect and not wanting to let anyone in.  Mel has really outdone herself with this book and the ending of this series was done so perfectly. I admit, I did cry towards the end. What can I say, I love.. LOVE! I look forward to devouring more of her works! 5 stars

Promise Me by Melanie Walker  Even though this is a short story, it still involves the characters of the previous books. Oh, and it still pulls at your heart!! Just when you think all is well and fine... ugh! I have a serious love/hate relationship with this series. I've wanted to throw my tablet a number of times, but luckily I didn't, or else I wouldn't be able to finish the books! Now, I'm onto the next one in hopes that there is some closure!  5 stars!

                                                                           Review Epic. Gut-wrenching. Sorrow. Love. Bonds. Trust. All these words come into play when I read this book! I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into when I started reading, but this for sure is at the top of my list of favorite books. Have you ever wanted to throat punch a character, even tho it's a fictional one? Well that was me! I wanted to jump into the book and kick the one guys butt!! I seriously was so mad at him! Ugh. The heroine gave me the feels. Bad. I felt for her on so many levels. Then when someone else entered the story, I fell in love. Like the " I want to have your babies" type of love. He wasn't only trying to help in more ways than one, but he was caring and attentive and oh man, you have got...
