Crush - Lacey Weatherford


Lacey Weatherford's Website: http://www.laceyweatherfordbooks.com/

Let me just start of with saying that I was not expecting that twist at the end of the story. It's amazing how the author kept us from finding out Hunter Wilder's secret until the near end of the story. I really enjoyed reading about how Cami and Hunter's love grows and how much he fights his attraction as long as he can in order to protect her. I especially love when he finally tells her his big secret. Overall an amazing read that will leave you wanting more which is good because the story isn't over yet.

Make sure you pick up your copy today!!!

Secret Girlfriend - Bria Quinlan


Bria Quinlan's Website: http://briaquinlan.com/

I actually found this book a couple of days ago and thought it sounded like a fun read. I really enjoyed how the author brought the characters alive. I have to say that I was rooting for Luke the entire time I was reading. I was so happy with the outcome of the story and I can not wait to read the second book in the series coming soon!


AMAZON BOOK DESCRIPTION

Since her mom died, Amy Whalen's been invisible--but not in the cool, superpower kind of way. Overlooked at school and ignored at home, Amy holds tight to her few constants: running, painting, and her long-held crush on soccer god, Chris Kent. But as senior year nears, Chris doesn't just notice her, he needs her.

Amy will agree to almost anything to be with him.

Everything is great--sort of--until Luke Parker shows up for soccer tryouts and sees through every one of Amy's defenses. When Luke decides he wants Chris's spot on the team and wouldn't sneeze at the captain's jersey either their rivalry spins out of control.

It doesn't help that Luke also wants the girl Chris kept hidden all summer. AMY.

Speechless - Hannah Harrington



Hannah Harrington's Website: http://www.hannahharrington.com/

I first came across this series a few months ago at my local library. It took me about 2 hours to get through it because once I got stared I couldn't put it down. I have to say that Hannah Harrington has a way with words that just drew me into this story. She told a story that involved bullying and growing up. It showed how one wrong act of judgement can change someone's life drastically. The main character of Speechless, Chelsea Knot can't keep a secret and after she says something that changes someones life she only truly understands the consciences of her behavior.  


AMAZON BOOK DESCRIPTION

Everyone knows Chelsea Knot can't keep a secret.

Until now. Because the last secret she shared turned her into a social outcast - and nearly got someone killed.

Now Chelsea has taken a vow of silence - to learn to keep her mouth shut, and to stop hurting anyone else. And if she thinks keeping secrets is hard, not speaking up when she's ignored, ridiculed and even attacked is worse.

But there's strength in silence, and in the new friends who are, shockingly, coming here way - people never noticed before; a boy she might even fall for. If only her new friends can forgive what she has done. If only she can forgive herself.

Cinderella Series - Carly Syms



Carly Syms Website: carlysyms.com

I first came across this series a little over a year ago when amazon recommended Cinderella in Cleats. I was so happy that I bought it because I enjoyed the strong female leads and sports aspects of the stories. These stories show how strong females really are and what they can do if they set their minds to something.

I highly recommend this series to everyone who enjoys the strong female leads in books.


AMAZON BOOK DESCRIPTIONS
