Heather's TBR list:
Review Books:
People come into our
lives. Some stay, and many go. Some build us up, while most tear us
down. They become our friends, our enemies, our lovers, our tormentors.
Christian Davison came into mine, and I knew I’d never be the same.
To Elizabeth Ayers, New York City had always been a dream. She’s worked her entire young life to make it here.
Groomed to one day take over his father’s law firm, attending Columbia University was Christian Davison’s only option.
Neither wanted anything more until they sat across from each other at a café table after being paired as study partners.
Christian
wants her, but Elizabeth knows better than to give into their intense
attraction. Yet there is little she can do to stay away.

isn't always easy or pleasant. The intense and angst-filled story of
Emma and Scott is a painful, gut-wrenching and exhausting portrayal of
how hard it can be to let go...

matter what. That lesson was learned early on in her life and she will
never forget it.

with her cousin, Ashley. She is finally free to do and live how she
wants and no man will ever rule her decisions or emotions again.
That is until Scott Mason walks on stage…
Intense,
bad boy Scott is the lead singer in a local and popular rock band.
Ladies man and Ashley’s longtime friend, Emma is instantly drawn to him,
even though he is everything she hates and needs to stay away from in a
guy. He treats females like he does a cigarette; light it, use it, and
lose it.
For her cousin’s sake, she makes an effort to get along
with Scott. She soon discovers that there is more to Scott which makes
him even more dangerous in her eyes. Underneath the façade of
friendship; jealousy, obsession, fear and insecurities, fester and
battle it out as she fights her attraction and history from repeating
itself.
One thing she knows for sure is that if she breaks her rule, it may destroy her.

To
Claire, Adam Parker is just another flirty customer at the cafe, until a

succeed, she gets to keep her secret and he must never step foot in the
cafe again.
Claire thinks she has this one in the bag. She’s
perfected the art of forgetting her past. But she isn’t prepared for
Adam’s relentless pursuit or for him to share his own secrets. And she’s

one year later.

This hot, sweet, sexy boy.

Heather's personal reads:
Two years after her best
friend was involved in a car accident that caused a traumatic brain
injury, Lottie Anders is ready to start her freshman year of college.
Ready to move on. Ready to start forgetting the night that ripped her
life apart.
Her plans come to a screeching halt when not one, but both brothers responsible for the accident end up back in her life again.
Zack is cruel, selfish and constantly rubbing what happened to her friend in Lottie's face.
Zan
is different. He listens to her awkward ramblings. He loves "To Kill a
Mockingbird" as much as she does, and his dark eyes are irresistible.
His words are few and far between, but when he does speak, she can't
help but listen.
The trouble is, Zan was the driver in the
accident, and now Lottie's discovered he lied to her about what happened
that night. Now she must decide if trusting him again will lead to real
forgiveness, or deeper heartache.
