Most Valuable Playboy

Most Valuable Playboy by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐️4 stars⭐️

Trent raises a glass of beer and takes a long swallow as I walk over. His eyes never leave me. Why do I feel as if I'm in trouble? Oh wait. I kissed his sister in a ballroom on cable TV.
That's why.
When I reach him, I say, "Am I being sent to bed without supper?"

Trent drums his fingers on the table and stares at me, waiting. "Anything you want to tell me?"

"Did you know that Mr. Monopoly used to sell chips as the Pringles dude?"

"What?"

"The Pringles guy and Mr. Monopoly. Doppelgängers. Google them. Once you do, you can't unsee it."

The Varlet and the Voyeur

The Varlet and the Voyeur by L.H. Cosway

I had, apparently, zero willpower where he was concerned (Ha! Get it? "Will" power?).

Liking someone as a person made it difficult to have a relationship with just their body. That's a life lesson for you right there.

RISE: A Second Chances Romance

RISE: A Second Chances Romance by Piper Lawson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐️3.5 stars⭐️

It isn't about wings, or explosions, or battles.
It's about being human.
It's about the journey.
Losing everything only to rebuild it from the ashes.
Realizing you can only rise after you fall.

Bane

Bane by L.J. Shen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

⭐5 stars⭐

I didn't want to give her something she needed.
I wanted to give her something to show her she didn't need anyone but herself.

Fking Bane. I love him. And I loved his book.

Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em to death. Fuck this town, and its preppy, judgmental residents, and every idiot who looks at us funny.
We're the outliers. The rejects. We're free.
They can't hurt you if you don't give them permission to.
So don't.

Scandalous

When you don't talk people assume you don't listen. They stop asking you for shit. They start caring less. People love the sound of voices. Theirs and others. I don't.

Thunderhead

Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐️4.5 stars⭐️

In a world where everyone was guaranteed to get whatever they needed, not everyone got everything they wanted.

Loved it!
And I want more and after this ending I need to know what happens next..

Over these many years, I have observed both profound folly and breathtaking wisdom among humankind. They balance each other like dancers in the throes of a passionate tango.
It is only when the brutality of the dance overwhelms the beauty that the future is threatened. It is the scythedom that leads, and sets the tone for the dance.
I often wonder if the scythedom realizes how fragile are the spines of the dancers.

Clockwork Princess

Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

⭐3.5 stars⭐

"I will not be that person. I will not profit from his death. So he must live. It is the only way any of this can ever mean anything. Otherwise it is only —"

"Pointless, needless suffering and pain? I don't suppose it would help if I told you that was the way life is. The good suffer, the evil flourish, and all that is mortal passes away." Magnus said.

"I want more than that. You made me want more than that. You showed me I was only ever cursed because I had chosen to believe myself so. You told me there was possibility, meaning. And now you would turn your back on what you created."

Still not my favorite Shadowhunters series but I fiiiiinally read this!
