Lucky Streak



Lucky Streak
by Carly Phillips

This is the second in her series of the Corwin Men - the first one was "Lucky Break" which was about Derek Corwin seeing his first love again and rekindling that closeness. The premis of the Corwin Men series is that the Corwin men are destined to be unlucky in love, when they fall in love bad things seem to happen to the women in their lives. Mike is a cop and meets Amber in Vegas, where they have a quickie marraige and it goes from there. She's running away from some men (cons) and follows him home to Boston. It's always hard to learn to trust another person especially when trust is gone in the first few moments of meeting one another. This was another great story by Carly Phillips, I have always enjoyed her stories. Funny thing is it's Oprah who introduced me to her with "The Heartbreaker". Good fun light summer read, romance. If only life was really like that.
3 out of 5 stars.

Perfect Chemistry



Perfect Chemistry
by Simone Elkeles



This book was definitely a quick fun and easy read. I couldn't put this book down I think I read it in like two or three days, (would have been shorter but I only have so many free hours a day). It was a very cute story about the bad boy and the good girl getting together. When Alex would talk to Brittany it was like they were in their own world. It's a timeless story like Romeo and Juliet, or Sandy and Danny (the second one sounds more like the book and is even referenced in there). It was a good book and I could definitely see it all in my head and didn't want it to end.

Along for the Ride



Along For the Ride
by Sarah Dessen

I have read every single book by Sarah Desson and like each one for different reasons. This book was great just like all the others. It's about a girl who moves in with her dad for the summer. Only to finally learn to let loose and learns how to live life finally. Life is not all about work work work but it's also about playing and having a good time and learning and doing new things that is what this book is about. Great summer read, can't wait to see what she comes up with in her next book.

13 Little Blue Envelopes





13 Little Blue Envelopes

by Maureen Johnson

This books was super cute. I would love to go on an adventure the way she did. The premise of the book is after her grandmother died "Ginny" was sent on an adventure every time she would complete a task she would open the next envelope to see where she would end up next. She started out in England and went all over the European countries, again another adventure I would love to go on. This book was all about finding yourself and thinking outside the box doing things you wouldn't normally book. It was a cute fun quick easy read, great for the summer.
