Review | The Beat Of My Heart | Avery Maxwell | Give Me Books Promotions

One week. No strings. Sexy stranger. What could go wrong?

My name is Julia McDowell. I’m not the pretty girl next door, I’m the boss at work who solves all your problems. I’m an awkward genius with the worst taste in boyfriends; the last one left me with a 6-figure debt to prove it.

So, when the most swoon-worthy man alive saves me from a psychotic tree, who am I to say no to a drink? He’s sweet yet powerful with a darkness I can’t place. I should be terrified of him, but I find myself drawn to him in ways I’ve never experienced. He says I’m his guiding light, that our hearts beat to the same melody. But I’m not looking for forever, and he has his own demons to slay.

We agreed to one week, no strings. It will have to be enough. It’s definitely enough, more than enough, until it’s not.

I’m ready to throw our one-week rules out the window when tragedy pulls us apart. It would take a miracle to find our way back to each other, and life is no fairytale. With no happily ever after in sight, will our hearts learn a new rhythm? Or will heartache become our new theme song?

*I received an Advanced Reading Copy copy in exchange for an honest review.

So, I must say that I was really looking forward to read about Trevor's and Julia's story since I've finished the first book of this awesome Broken Hearts series, "Cross My Heart", that give's us the lovely love story between Dex and Lanie, that I also loved to read. 
Avery Maxwell gives us the most impressive characters. Each one of them are a must know person. Trevor, Julia, Dex, Lanie, Loki, Preston and all the rest of the people that gives us so much tender and positive vibes. I really would love to be a part of this big and awesome chosen family.
Trevor's and Julia's story comes way back, even first then Dex and Lanie's love. They've met under some circumstances that were, at least, hilarious. Julia has the most funny and crazy way to express all her feelings and, with her, we can always tell what she's thinking because she, literally, says it out loud for everyone to hear. i guess that this was one of the most important virtue that made Trevor to love her. With Julia I've had so much fun and real released so many laughters because of her that it made me belly aches (lol). She could really be my puffin (when you read the book you'll understand what i mean). 
She is absolutely something else and only Trevor could be her one and only. Trevor is a caring and loving man that comes a long way of loneliness and fear since his mother died, and to have known someone like Julia, it literally blew his mind and heart away. Since he met Julia he would never be the same. 
Although this book is about these two characters, I think that it also served to explain us more of Loki. Since he is someone who always maintain his life as secret as he can from his friends. Now we know why he does that, and I must say that, if I already liked Dex's friends and family, after this book I really love them. 
I could tell you so much more of what I've read, but it would always be little to make you realize how much I liked this all "universe" of family love and safety.
This book has much more action than the first one, since we have, as I said, a bigger inside of Loki's life that grants this story more danger and more sense of "must protect". He will, for sure, do everything and beyond to secure all the people that are his chosen family and that he truly loves. 
I must say that i'm really also looking forward to read more of Loki and also Preston. They really are major important characters and this all series would not be the same without them.
Please, may the third book comes out soon!!

Review | Damaged | Vera Hollins | Give Me Books Promotions

Nine days have passed since Hayden got into an accident and fell into a coma. Nine days of hoping for a miracle that would allow him to wake up. Nine long, endless days.

Half of me is conquered by despair, while the other half clings to the hope that he will recover soon. I refuse to let fear and doubt overcome me. Hayden is dark and complicated, but as the days pass, I’m more determined to fight for him despite the hurdles in our way.

I have to believe that there won’t be serious consequences once he wakes up. I have to believe that we will overcome all obstacles and become stronger together.

After all, we may be both damaged, but we’re each other’s salvation.



*I received an Advanced Reading Copy copy  in exchange for an honest review.

After reading Bullied #1 and Pained #2, where we have the beginning of Sarah's and Hayden's story, Damaged #3 came to show us that love can really conquer all. There is no darkness, no fears, no insecurities or personality disorders that can split what love unites. 
Sarah and Hayden are coming from another traumatic event. After she and her mother been kidnapped and saved by Hayden (mostly), Sarah stays in hospital to regain strength and heal all her wounds. On the day that she's discharged from the hospital and living the most blissful moment with Hayden until now, (if you read the first two books you'll know what i'm saying), he gets in an accident that sends him into a coma for days, and nobody knew when or how he would (if) wake up.
Day by day Sarah remains by his side assuring him of her love and that she would never abandon him.
I really need to tell you what happens with Sarah and Hayden because of all the emotions that I've felt while reading this books, but I don't want to spoil your reading and I really want for you all to feel this story right in your mind and hearts... But I have to say..... It really blew my mind away. I was mad, sad, frustrated, offended, but most of all I always felt full of hope. Those two loved each other too much to let their love fade away because of some stressful and awful decisions or disorders. If there is pain and hate, for sure love is also present. They use to say that between hate and love it's just a thin line, and this is really true. 
If pain, sorrow and fear, hate and revenge were the feelings that always fueled their actions toward one another, love is the one feeling that can unite them and wash away all the darkness in their hearts. 
This all series has been a roller coaster of emotions since book one, and as I said on one of my Instagram posts, it is a series that went straight into my heart and it will, surely, stay there for a long time.
I really have to say that, although this is a story between teenagers and their wild emotions and hearts, this is also a wake up call to all people who eventually knows someone with BPD (Borderline personality disorder) and how we can adjust our actions towards people who suffers with this disorder. Sure that Hayden isn't the personification of this disorder, because each one of the people who has this problem acts differently. It really differs from person to person according to their personalities. 

Loved all the characters although many of them gave me the wish of slapping them in the face just to them to wake the f**ck up, but it all combines in a great, great book from this new author that i now will, surely, follow with attention. Loved all the poems, were they dark or love full, that Hayden wrote to her exposing all his soul and feelings. Letting her in his toughs and heart. Also loved how Vera Hollins ignites the fir between them with only a few words like the ones that describes when they used to look at each other or when he would fall into a spiral of pain and hate and she was always there to catch him on his fall and reassure him of her love and dedication.

I'm highly recommending this book and all the other from this series.

The Anti-Boyfriend
Penelope Ward
Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date
August 31, 2020

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

At first, my neighbor Deacon frustrated me.
Sure, he was great-looking and friendly.
But our walls were thin, and on occasion, he’d bring women to his place and keep me awake while he “entertained” them.
As a single mother to an infant, I didn’t appreciate it.
So, finally it was my turn.
When my daughter wouldn’t stop wailing one night, Mr. Manwhore came knocking on my door.
Miraculously, at the sound of his voice, Sunny stopped crying. And when he held her…she eventually fell asleep in his arms.
Deacon was rough on the exterior, but apparently on the inside? Mr. Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle was a baby whisperer.
After that night, we became friends.
He’d go for coffee runs. Come over to chat. Normal friend stuff.
But over time, our conversations ran deeper. We got closer.
Until one night we crossed the line.
Our friendship turned into a complicated mess.
I’d gone and fallen for a guy who’d sworn off commitment and kids.
I knew Deacon was starting to care for me too, even though Sunny and I didn’t fit into any plan he’d ever imagined for himself.
He was wrong for me—so wrong that I’d dubbed him the “anti-boyfriend.”
Then why did I wish more than anything that I could be the one woman to change him?
