NJ Penny Book Reviews

I have never read a book by Ilsa Madden-Mills, but I will definitely seek out some more from her in the future. I loved this book!  "Wanted: one hot guy with rock-hard abs and a big stick. Broke and desperate, Sugar Ryan has no use for arrogant, bad boy athletes..until she's forced to bargain with the cockiest of them all. If only he knew she was alive. Her mission? Get on this hockey player's radar any way possible. Zack Morgan is the king of the ice and the bedroom- but nothing prepares him for the mystery girl who shows up everywhere he does- frat parties, his favorite bar, and finally his front door with an offer he can't refuse. The only rule in her boyfriend bargain: no falling in love. But after one (um, two) smoking-hot hookups he's done with pretending and vows to make their fake relationship real. Too bad she can't trust a player with a reputation for breaking hearts. Will this hockey star score his forever girl or will their Boyfriend Bargain ...

I found this book all over Instagram. All the book people I follow were sharing it, and the blurb seemed interesting so I was excited to start! I needed a quick and easy read in between ARC's and this was just the read for that.  "When we were eleven, Oliver Ford Pemberton dared me to jump off a barn roof. He said you couldn't break a leg from a 12-foot-jump. He lied. (You can also break a collarbone, which served him right as far as I was concerned.) I wish I could say it was the last dare I ever took from him, the last bet I ever made with him, the last time I ever trusted Oliver Ford Pemberton. But it wasn't. Because he had the nerve to grow up gorgeous, charming, and sexy. And as we got older, the dares only got dirtier- and the betting stakes higher- until finally, he left me in pieces. I swore I'd never talk to him again. But twenty year after I took that flying leap, he's back in my life, daring me to risk everything for him: my job, my self-worth...

I love Tarryn Fisher. If you've never read her, your missing out. She isn't my typical book, let's be real here, I enjoy a good romance, a good young adult book, and occasionally a good mystery. I wouldn't categorize her in any of those. Her books are different, they make you think, most of the time I don't care for the characters, but I can't stop reading. I really enjoy them. And F*ck Marriage was no different. She doesn't write a book that she's trying to sell, she writes what she is feeling, and it always works.  "Two years ago, Billie Tarrow's husband left her for another woman. Shamed and divorced, Billie retreated to her family home in Port Townsend, far from her old life in New York. After a near-death encounter, Billie decides to return to the city that took everything from her. But sometimes in the midst of heartache, hope suffocates the pain. Satcher Gable has carried a torch for Billie for ten years. When she suddenly returns ...

So, now that I've read and finished book 2 I understand the first book SO. MUCH. MORE. (See my last review)  "A single glance. A fleeting moment. A solitary touch could make everything worth it. This was my breaking point. This was where I lost myself completely. I did the only thing that made sense. The only thing I had left to give. I begged her..To take me with her. Book 2: The conclusion to The Pierced Hearts Duet" "I know I'll never be able to live up to your once-in-a-lifetime love, and I don't want to feel like I'm here because she isn't."  All the confusion and frustrating I was feeling while reading book 1 of this duet, is completely gone now. This book was fantastic. It answered everything I was confused about, and more. It had heart, humor, heat, and emotion. It was beautifully written and the characters really developed for me.  "You're reaching, Camila." "You called me Camila, not Mary Poppins. Hash...

This was my first book by M. Robinson. I've been following her on Instagram for a while, and had this book on my Kindle for a while, but never opened it. It came highly recommended and that usually scares me. Sometimes I don't love books as much as everyone else, and I hate that. I've been kind of reading this one in between several others, and today I gave it the one on one time it deserved. It was a beautiful story. Beautiful, but very confusing. So confusing, in fact, that it ended on a cliffhanger, and the second book just came out, I one clicked that and read 3 chapters already before I decided I should stop and write my review.  "What do you do when you meet your soulmate at seven-years-old? You give..You live..And you love..Together. Forever. To have and to hold. Until you hear the words, "I just don't love you anymore." Putting an end to me. To You. To Us. Contemporary Romance Duet: Book 1" "I choose us Bailey Pierce. I will al...

I was provided an ARC of this book from the author and Social Butterfly PR. I've really enjoyed Claire Contreras books in the past, so when I saw an ARC sign up for this one I jumped on it! The book was set to release on May 15, but was released early and is NOW AVAILABLE ! And this cover is TO DIE FOR .  "Things on my wishlist: 1. Start a new, awesome job. 2.Create the perfect dating app 3. Stop dating douchebags Things that actually happen: 1.Got a job in my dream tech company 2. Created a workplace dating app for said company 3. Was matched with Bennett, who happens to own the company and is also my brother's best friend.  They say when it rains, it pours, but this is some serious BS. It doesn't help that Bennett was the man I had my last one night stand with. It definitely doesn't help that he seems to want me just as much as I want him. The issue is, he won't do anything about it, but then we're forced to attend a tech co...
