Renee Cassani’s future is set.

Her betrothal is set.

Her life, after nannying for the five families for the summer, is set

Somebody should have told Vic Colezan that.

Good thing Vic has a firm hand.

Kicking Reality Book Review

Kicking Reality is about a reality TV star named Emerson. She feels like she is an outsider in her own life until one night when she goes back to her hometown and everything changes. Logan is Emerson's brothers best friend and teammate. Logan plays soccer for the U.K and is perceived to be a bit of a man whore, except just like how Emerson looks happy, looks can be deceiving. Even though I have read many brother's best friend books this one was very different. I really liked this book because it was raw and real. Emerson had flaws and so did Logan. Neither of the characters were perfect and this wasn't a fairy tale story where all the bad stuff just went away. When Emerson tried to leave her reality show she couldn't because of contracts and I really liked that Kat showed that because it brought realism to the book. I am not a fan of cheating or love triangles and I will tell you that neither are really in this book. Logan and Emerson's story is angsty, funny, frustrating, steamy and will make you sigh. If you are looking for a good read I would recommend this book to you. I've never read a Kat T. Masen book before, but I will definitely be checking out her books now.

Rating: 4 stars

Kicking Reality

“You honestly believe all that rubbish? Falling in love? They knew from the start? C’mon. It’s impossible,” I ramble to myself as Logan quietly stands at the edge. “You can spend a whole lifetime knowing someone and still feel unsure if the love is there. Two minutes in a bar and that person is your soulmate? Ludicrous.”

Logan turns his neck, body following until we’re facing each other. His presence radiates with superiority, just like when we were kids. I wasn’t afraid back then and I am not afraid now. His tough-guy persona doesn’t frighten me one bit.

“Hypocritical coming from someone engaged to a man that swore he fell in love with you the moment he saw you?” he questions, sarcasm lacing every word that left his mouth.

The shock of his words cripples my ability to respond with a witty comeback. We weren’t having a good ol’ laugh throwing worms in the bottom of Ash’s school bag anymore. And my initial reaction to his cruel words does nothing to calm the sea of emotions ravaging inside me. Logan Carrington was one of them. They all came from the same seed. The seed of men that felt entitled. Screw women, move on, fuck feelings and repeat.

“Knock, knock . . . anyone home?”

“You’re a jerk,” I mutter.

BLURB

Emerson

Everyone thinks they know who I am. I’m that reality TV star that fell in love with co-star Wesley Rich. But reality wasn’t my life. It was the life I lived in front of the cameras.

A life designed to entertain millions of watchers each Monday night.

It only took one night to relive my past, and one night to forget my future. With someone who had been there all along.

Logan

Soccer is my life—it’s in my blood.

I train hard, I play hard, and I win.  Nothing will break my focus.

I should have been able to avoid it, resist the temptation. But it’s there, playing every Monday night, an obsession I can’t seem to shake.

And I don’t know what was harder: hiding it from my best friend, or watching the woman I want live a life with someone else.

Nothing Left to Lose by Kirsty Mosely Book Review

Synopsis: Provided by Goodreads.

Three years after the tragic events of Anna’s sixteenth birthday which saw her boyfriend killed and her kidnapped by his sadistic murderer, she’s no longer the happy-go-lucky girl that everyone used to know and love; she’s now cold, hard and suffers from night terrors. 

Carter is currently serving time for the murder of Jack–a conviction that Anna helped secure–but his retrial is coming up because some key evidence appears to have been tampered with. 

Needing to ensure his daughter’s safety, presidential candidate, Senator Spencer, tasks in Ashton Taylor, a newly qualified SWAT agent, to guard the broken girl and keep her safe until the end of the trial. 

For three years Anna has refused to feel emotion or pain. Can Ashton help her rebuild her life and finally deal with the grief of losing her childhood sweetheart? Will he be the one to make her see that life is, in fact, worth living and that not all men will hurt her?

My Review: 

Rating: 2.5 stars

I came across this book on Facebook as one to get free. It looked promising and I wish I could say I loved it, but I didn’t. I loved Ashton and how he was patient and how he took his job protecting Anna, for the most part, seriously. I liked Anna too, but all the horrors she faced seemed to go away almost too easily when Ashton came into the picture. Without giving away spoilers, everything that happened to her since she lost her child sweetheart, one would almost assume that she would stay broken longer. I felt this story was rushed in the beginning , but then flat lined. I did like the writing, but I wish there would have been a slower built up. Honestly, within the first 25% I was irritated with this book because of what happened. I will keep this review as spoiler free as possible. I thought this book would end up with a cliffhanger that would have me reaching instantly for the next book, but no such luck. The thing is I liked this authors writing between the characters for the most part so maybe I will read a different book by her and like it better. One that isn’t about a broken girl and her bodyguard. Overall. I liked the premise but to me it just fell flat.
