Switched by Cassie Mae was a funny and often frustrating read but highly entertaining. Kayla, Wesley, Reagan and Talon were all friends. Reagan and Talon were a couple while Kayla and Wesley, well they've been pining for these two since high school. Told from Kayla's point of view, she, dragging Wesley along hatches a plan to break the happy couple apart. Because as everyone can see Talon is her soulmate while Wesley is Reagan's. Thus starts the funs and the laughs and the musical chairs between the four. Kayla as a character was frustrating initially for me, I have no idea whether its because she was being an evil bestfriend to Reagan or she really was in love with Talon. I could not really hate nor empathize with her at the start. As the story progressed and the romance part began, her sudden self awareness becomes believable. The pace, the tone and style of writing was excellent. I can see that Cassie Mae has developed her own unique voice in the ...

Amazingly good! Lauren Layne's Isn't She Lovely maybe a remade Pygmalion tale but the writing makes it a totally unique story. If you like those romantic movies featuring heroine makeovers then this one is for you. If you like your heroine wearing a lot of black, complete with eyeliners, tatoos and several ear piercings then this is definitely for you. If you want your heroines flipping the bird at the hero even when she feels otherwise then you have the right book. Stephanie and Ethan are not your perfect couple, in fact they aren't really a couple at all. Goth girl film student Stephanie is stuck having Ethan for a partner in film class. While preppy rich Ethan doesn't even know how to handle this snarky midget Morticia never mind that he seems to oddly find her attractive. They needed to do a project and decided to zero in on Pygmalion themed films. However, Ethan got the bright idea to base the script on real life, theirs. I love romantic comedies and ...

Friday Night Alibi , is a total surprise. This New Adult story about Kelli and Chase, totally hits the right notes for me. Told from Kelli's POV, the plot seemed simple enough, young love in bloom, amidst the pranks, banters and total denial of mutual attraction. Kelli is trying to keep emotions out of every equation, to compensate for her parents apparent indifference.   She tries to act cool but has made it impossible to take part in life when she started her business of being everyones Friday Night Alibi.  That is until she meets Chase. Chase who's all things un-Sundale.  This is a very refreshing read compared to other books from the same genre.  Filled with humor and funny moments, it still manages to pull at your heartstrings and root for Kelli to get her head out of the equation and just go for that kiss!  Innocent for NA but even that fits with the story.   There is still that sense of passion but its an underlying simmer which works since its...
