How BEAUTIFUL is the Misbehaving cover? Like seriously. When it got dropped into my inbox, i was at work at just sat staring at it. Head to the side, gazing longingly at the couple and the romantic feel to the photograph with the sun and the water behind them… I really need a boyfriend HA.

Anyway, I am an utter fan of these new UK covers because, let’s be honest, the US seem to have the good ones, but we are getting there and Simon & Schuster/The Hot Bed definitely took that into account when re-designing these covers. I am in swoon mode and i cannot stop staring at every single one of them. They are just so *sigh*.

Let me know what you think of the covers in the comments. Are you a fan of the new designs? I can hands up say i most definitely am.

Synopsis

Her life is just as messed up as her name.

All she wanted was a friend—one that knew her and not her circumstances. She needed somewhere to call home. Hers was an open door for countless men looking for the services her mother offered them. She camouflaged herself against lockers and blackboards to avoid the stares and whispers at school.

And then she found Cal…and Fade.

Cal lives like Frankenstein, rising at night to work and just trying to make it until dawn. He avoids most relationships, afraid of the things he will be asked to do. He moonlights as Fade, a radio station DJ who spends hours counseling his peers on their troubles. It was all mundane until Jocelyn called the station.

Cal and Havok pursue a friendship.

Jocelyn and Fade pursue a relationship beyond the confines of the radio waves.

But when Havok disappears, Cal will find that Havok has been guarding a lifetime worth of secrets. And when Fade and Jocelyn’s all night phone conversations cease, he finds a link between them he never saw coming.

Today on The Book Lovers stop on the Still Human tour, I will be giving you my FIVE STAR review!

——————————————————————————————

SHCOVERFINALCOPYSynopsis

Danny and Liv are back…

Danny loves Liv. He knows he loves her more than she loves him because she ran without a word when she saw their future mapped out before her. He knows he will never love anyone like he loved her and this time he doesn’t think he can move on.

Liv loves Danny. She knows she loves him more than he loves her because he broke her heart in the worst possible way, right when things were falling into place. She knows she will never love anyone like she loves him and this time she doesn’t think she can move on.

They needed a second chance because they just weren’t ready for their first, but when events changed everything between them, they discovered they were just human after all. Now Liv and Danny have to find a way to survive being hurt by each other.

They doubted, they underestimated and they did believe the worst, but only because they were too young the first time and too vulnerable the second time. But now they have changed and if they are not the same, surely things can only turn out differently?

My Review

“I tried being without you, life is nothing without you.”

I need to start by saying I absolutely LOVE Kerry and I cannot wait to meet her in person on the 9th November for the London Author Event day. SERIOUSLY! I am too excited to squeeze the crap out of her, both for being a friend and for writing such beautiful books in Just and Still Human and writing such beautiful and relatable characters that will have you laughing, crying, agitated but more importantly you will fall in love with them, with the storyline, and with Kerry.

Still Human, as I’ve already told Kerry, is the PERFECT conclusion to the story of Danny and Liv – along with the secondary characters too. Still Human carries off where Just Human left off and we all know the ending to the first book! We all shouted at Liv not to leave, to find Danny and ask him about it, but I suppose I would have done the same thing if I was Liv and leave too, without any explanation.

I cannot commend Still Human enough – it has everything that you would want in a conclusion to such a heart-warming story in the first book. It has second – or in Danny and Liv’s case – third chance love, true, overpowering love for one another, the strong bond between the best friends, the selflessness between everyone, and of everything in between. You will smile, laugh, cry, swoon and get angry but you will sob at the end as it is completely perfect and your heart will just grow with love for Kerry and the series (and of course, Danny!!)

I cannot tell you how glad I am that Kerry emailed me months ago when she was looking for bloggers to review Just Human – she has definitely come a long way since then and I am so happy and glad that everyone is loving this series like I am! Kerry definitely deserves all the success she gets with Just and Still Human! So give this series a read if you have yet to jump aboard the Danny train 😉

As I’ve mentioned we start where Just Human left off – Liv is back in England, Danny is in America and they are both as stubborn as each other….both thinking the worst of the situation and neither knowing the truth, so they don’t speak to each other, they don’t even want Max or Jen to mention the other’s name. But when an accident occurs and Danny finds out the real reason as to why Liv ran, he is on the first flight back, but he keeps it a secret as he tries to win back Liv.

You know how we fell for Danny in Just Human? Holy shit, you will literally fall so much harder. You know Danny is deeply, deeply in love with Liv and will do just about anything for her…the romantic streak in him, dear god, I am thinking I need a Danny asap. You can feel his love pour through the pages for Liv, the things he does, how much effort he puts into plans to make up for everything and to cement just how much his heart his hers, how much he wants her forever…you will be swooning, crying over him and what he does and just how much his heart beats for her, how he can’t lose her again.

You know with a love this strong, that nothing is going to break them again. Sure they have to learn to trust each other again and get over their insecurities, but when they both do, its bloody clear to see they were born to be together.

Liv is still the brilliant character we met in Just Human and despite how it ended, and despite not wanting to talk or hear anything to do with Danny, she keeps her chin up and tries not to let it get to her, even though it’s killing her inside. She’s still fragile and insecure but you know deep down there is a strength and that is what she puts on, even though she is heartbroken.

You see her façade slipping and you see her start to trust Danny again, her heart beginning to heal and you know that although she’s gone through so much with Danny, her love for him and their love together is strong enough to overcome anything – no matter what happens between them. They have loved each other for so many years and there is no way they are letting each other go again, no way in hell.

The things they go through, throughout both books and to know they come out stronger, more secure, trusting and head over heels in love makes you want the same as Danny and Liv – that one person to love forever. Kerry made every character realistic, the storyline realistic and you will love her all the more for that because she doesn’t pussyfoot around. This series is just pure love!

Seriously though, if you haven’t read Just and Still Human, get over to Amazon now, 1-Click and get your fix. You won’t be disappointed at all and Kerry is definitely an author to look out for…I predict big things and this series is just the beginning!

13628713Smash Into You – Shelly Crane

Synopsis

Jude has spent the whole twenty one years of his life running. From what, he wasn’t quite sure. His mother tried to keep him safe; a low profile, a constant move on the horizon, a week’s pay always stashed away. She tried to instill in him that he was special somehow, though would never elaborate. He never felt different. He was so completely normal and vanilla that he wondered if it had all been in her head. But then she was murdered and all he saw was a running silhouette of a man as his mother said three final words to him. Three words that changed his whole being.

Never stop running…

Now he’s semi-settled into a big town. The college is huge and easy to blend into. It’s been three months since he had to move because ‘Biloxi’, as he calls the man who killed his mother, found him once more.

Then Marley, an eighteen year old girl who is as infuriating as she is blissfully ignorant of her gorgeousness, smashes into his car with hers. Then smashes into his life as he realizes that whatever it is he has that Biloxi wants, she has it, too. And now, they’re after them both.

She meets Lincoln Presley, Stanford’s famous baseball wonder and has a little fun at his expense—when she lies about her age and who she really is—intent on being someone else for the night and escaping her tragic story.

His only focus is baseball, but he can’t forget the girl he saved on Valentine’s Day…
At 22, Lincoln Presley’s star is on the rise—about to finish at Stanford and expected to be taken early in Major League Baseball’s upcoming draft—his cousin’s party serves as a welcome distraction.

He vows to learn her name at least before he leaves. What’s the harm in getting to know this girl? What’s the worst that can happen?

They share this incredible connection, but fate soon tests these star-crossed lovers in all kinds of ways…
And yet, despite the lies being told to protect the other, and the trappings of fame that continually separate them, and in lieu of the deception by those they’ve come to trust the most; one truth remains.

This much is true

17978680Unteachable – Leah Raeder

Synopsis

I met him at a carnival, of all corny places. The summer I turned eighteen, in that chaos of neon lights and cheap thrills, I met a man so sweet, so beautiful, he seemed to come from another world. We had one night: intense, scary, real. Then I ran, like I always do. Because I didn’t want to be abandoned again.

But I couldn’t run far enough.

I knew him as Evan that night. When I walked into his classroom, he became Mr. Wilke.

My teacher.

I don’t know if what we’re doing is wrong. The rules say one thing; my heart says screw the rules. I can’t let him lose his job. And I can’t lose him.

In the movies, this would have a happy ending. I grow up. I love, I lose, I learn. And I move on. But this is life, and there’s no script. You make it up as you go along.

And you don’t pray for a happy ending. You pray for it to never end.

18163199Park and Violet – Marian Tee

Synopsis

On her first year studying abroad, beautiful and vivacious 18-year-old Violet York is on a mission to forget her past. Once, she loved being the Queen of Flirts, loved playing hard-to-get and, eventually, getting caught. Now, she can’t get enough distance between her and all the boys in the world. Well,all the boys except for Park Jin.

Park is like no guy she’s ever met. He’s a 20-year-old Nordic god with a strange accent, or at least that’s one of Violet’s better descriptions of him. Most times, when they’re, literally, fighting like cats and dogs, she prefers to think of him as the blond gorilla, he’s a foul-mouthed jerk who calls her a banshee, a midget, and every other ugly nickname that comes to his nasty mind, goes out of his way to be rude to Violet, and, best of all, he hates girls.

Both Park and Violet carry scars in their hearts, scars that they’re desperate to hide. In each other, they find the unlikeliest allies, a way to keep themselves apart from everyone else and, more importantly, from ever falling in love again.

Yet when they’re not on each other’s throats Park and Violet can’t help succumbing to the intense chemistry between them. As kisses outnumber hisses, there’s a question that’s getting harder and harder for the two to ignore.

Is it time to risk their hearts again?

17292996Playing Patience (#1)  -Tabatha Vargo

Synopsis

Sometimes all you need is Patience.

Life’s been hard for Zeke. Being a punching bag for his alcoholic father has turned him into stone. Not even the dodgy trailer park he lives in can scare him. Fighting is his release and sex, drugs, and his guitar bring him peace, but deep down Zeke isn’t quite as hard as he makes himself out to be. When he meets Patience, she finds all his broken pieces and puts him back together, but she’s a ray of light in his shadowed life and the last thing he wants to do is bring her into his dark world. Playing careless is easy, playing the bad guy can be fun, but playing Patience is impossible, especially when she can see right through him.

Zeke isn’t the only one who’s broken, and for the first time, in a long time, Patience feels alive. Her black and white world gets a shot of color when she meets Zeke. He’s unlike anyone she’s ever met with his tattoos, piercings, and blunt honesty. She wants nothing more than to let go and ride the wild side with him, but some wounds never heal and the broken pieces of Patience aren’t so easy to find.

Her challenge? Play the player.
Until life changes the rules of the game.

Maddie Stevens hated Braden Carter on sight. Arrogant, egotistical, and the playboy of the University of California, Berkeley, he’s everything her brother Pearce has taught her to despise. So why, when the girls challenge her to play the player, doesn’t she say no? She doesn’t know either.

Braden wanted fiery little Maddie the second he laid eyes on her – and he’d do anything to have her, hence why he’s agreed to make her fall in love with him. After all, it’s the only way he’ll get what he wants. Sex.

But, as Braden discovers, there’s more to the girl from Brooklyn than he ever imagined – and he can’t help but care about the broken girl behind those pretty green eyes.

Synopsis

Alexa Vansant isn’t the type of girl to go looking for trouble, so what was she doing sitting in a Lower East Side dive bar waiting for Jackson Brent? What did she expect from a meeting with an international rock star sensation, infamous millionaire playboy, and notorious womanizer? He said the meeting was about business, and it had to be with her, alone, and on his terms…

When the most gorgeous man she’s ever laid eyes on walks through the door, Alexa knows she’s done for. Agreeing to meet with Jackson Brent may be the worst mistake she’s ever made.

The moment his striking blue eyes meet hers, the rock star immediately has her fumbling. His British accent renders her helpless against his charms and Alexa is unable to control the desire welling inside her as a result of the sheer physical attraction she feels toward him.

When Jackson reveals that he wants her to write his tell-all bio, Alexa is astonished. The privilege would mean instant fame and notoriety for her and her magazine. The only catch? She has to join him on his month long European tour, to experience who he really is… to get the proper intimate details…

Jackson pulls her into a whirlwind of lust, heartbreak, and utter passion. If she is the one to finally discover the real Jackson Brent, will she be strong enough to fight for his love?
