Book Review: Scorched by Jennifer Armentrout

Goodreads Summary: Sometimes life leaves a mark…

Most days, Andrea doesn’t know whether she wants to kiss Tanner or punch him in the gut. He is seriously hot, with legit bedroom eyes and that firefighter body of his, but he’s a major player, and they can’t get along for more than a handful of minutes. Until now.

Tanner knows he and Andrea have had an epic love/hate relationship for as long as he can remember, but he wants more love than hate from her. He wants her. Now. Tomorrow. But the more he gets to know her, the more it becomes obvious that Andrea has a problem. She’s teetering on the edge and every time he tries to catch her, she slips through his fingers.

Andrea’s life is spiraling out of control, and it doesn’t matter that Tanner wants to save her, because when everything falls apart and she’s speeding toward rock bottom, only she can save herself.

Sometimes life makes you work for that happily ever after…

I was really excited to read this story of the Frigid series. I am already a huge fan of this author and I basically love anything that she writes.

In this installment it is about Andrea and Tanner. Of course our other favorite couple makes appearances as well (Kyler and Syd). From what I knew from the first book was that Andrea and Tanner do not get along at all. They constantly bicker and argue with each other and it  sometimes makes a strain on their relationship with their two best friends Kyler and Syd. 

Wanting to change the atmosphere and have a getaway Kyler and Sydney invite Tanner and Andrea to a week  long vacation. At first Andrea and Tanner have their usual bicker and snobby insults but as the story progress the two realize that in actuality they care for each other deeply. They spend more one on one time with each other which is thanks to their best friends. Their whole relationship takes a different turn for the better.

I really like how the author wrote in matters of the subject of drinking and drunk driving. The subject is very heavy and having someone close by to help even if that means getting professional help is whats important. 

The story proves that when you are surrounded by people that love you and are there for you in hard times to keep them close. Even when you feel like you are alone you are not.

I loved reading this story and I may have cried a bit too but that's because I am helpless romantic.

The Mister Book Review

Goodreads synopsis:  London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.   But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.  Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?   I will admit I did have some kind of salty...

So I have been in a fantasy mood lately. I think it may have to do with Summer Reading at the library because our theme is dealing with fantasy and science fiction. With that being said, I used my library and gathered a bit much of some fantasy books. I am going into them blind which I prefer because I want the whole concept of the book to (hopefully) blow me away. I have a few romance thrown in as well :) It's my birthday month so hopefully these books treat me well!   The city of Bulikov once wielded the powers of the gods to conquer the world, enslaving and brutalizing millions — until its divine protectors were killed. Now, Bulikov’s history has been censored and erased, its citizens subjugated. But the surreal landscape of the city itself, forever altered by the thousands of miracles its guardians once worked upon it, stands as a haunting reminder of its former supremacy. Into this broken city steps Shara Thivani. Officially, the unassuming young woman is just another...
