Game On (Game On #1) by Olley White

Image
Available on Amazon.com *  Amazon.de *  Goodreads Synopsis: Dear Author, We met in the strangest way. I was convinced he was a girl because of his choice of character, and he thought the same thing about me. You can imagine how surprised we were when we first met in person. How confused I was about my feeling for him. I was already in love with the person behind the character, but I had never been attracted to a man before. Can you tell the story of how we became that happy couple in the picture? Photo Description: Two men, in their early twenties, lean towards each other for a kiss. Both smiling, they have their eyes shut. One boy has tousled hair, an earring and an upper ear piercing. He’s wearing a bright turquoise T-shirt while the other has neater hair and is wearing a checked shirt. Their hands are held, and a gaming controller nestles between them. A computer screen with a game playing on it is visible in the background. This story was written as a p...

Icing on the Cake (Wild Wedding #2) by Ann Marie Walker

Image
Available on Amazon.com  * Amazon.de *  Goodreads Synopsis: Cassandra Miller doesn’t have time for men. She’s far too busy trying to open a cupcake shop with her silent partner and best friend, not to mention catering her brother’s wedding. And let’s face it, it’s not like Prince Charming is going to stroll into the bakery and sweep her off her feet. Henry has been a prince his entire life but for one wild wedding he wants to be nothing more than an “Average Joe”, or in this instance, “Average Hank”. However, when a case of mistaken identity and a batch of burned cupcakes ends in a night of passion, Cassie and Hank must decide if theirs is a recipe for disaster or the makings of true romance. Review: Icing on the Cake was not for me. I found the main characters meh and the story was dull.  Cassandra is opening up her own cupcake shop so she is super busy. She doesn't have time for a man even if one were to walk into her shop and sweep her off her fe...

Review: Motion (Laws of Physics #1) by Penny Reid

Image
Now available on Amazon.com  *  Amazon.de  *  Goodreads Synopsis: One week. Home alone. Girl genius. Unrepentant slacker. What’s the worst that could happen? Mona is a smart girl and had everything figured out a long time ago. She had to. She didn’t have a choice. When your parents are uber-celebrities and you graduate from high school at thirteen, finish college at seventeen, and start your PhD program at eighteen, you don’t have time for distractions outside of your foci. Even fun is scheduled. Which is why Abram, her brother’s best friend, is such an irritant. Abram is a talented guy, a supremely gifted musician, and has absolutely nothing figured out, nor does he seem to care. He does what he feels, when he feels, and—in Mona’s opinion—he makes her feel entirely too much. Laws of Physics is the second trilogy in the Hypothesis series; Laws of Physics parts 1 (MOTION) & 2 (SPACE) end with a cliffhanger. Review: ...
