❤ IN BETWEEN THE EARTH AND SKY by Heidi Hutchinson 4 star review ❤


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


In Between the Earth and Sky

What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?

Remington Rohan was not a rule follower.
Former model (though not one of the “super” kind), successful influencer and life coach. Currently paid to tell people how to achieve the best from their lives and careers. In other words, a complete contradiction to how he preferred to live—namely, on his own terms and without input from others.
Everything about his life was going according to plan.
Until he started spending way too much time with a woman who defied his prejudices and challenged his beliefs.

Lydia Larkin was not a genius.
Gifted, clever, and stubborn. Raised on star maps and Hendrix, she was born an explorer. Temporarily tied down to a private sector science job, she knew she was biding her time before she was off to discover and build something new.
Not one to let society tell her who she was, she wasn’t about to let a professional influencer tell her she had to change to be happy.

Buckle up and brace for impact.



*advance copy received for an honest and unbiased review*

so I've read all of Heidi's work and loved them all, but this one was different. There was something so completely different about the way this was written. This is going to sound so weird when I say this, but it almost felt too smart for me at times. There was so much in this book that I just felt was outside the realm of what my head could handle. It was almost the idealisms and some of the psychology of how these two thought was too much for me. And yes, okay, maybe even what they actually do at the Institute was hard to wrap my brain around

This book also moved a bit slower than Heidi's other work. There was a lot more build up between these two characters. For me, for my taste, it hit a plateau of sorts in the middle and the speed in which I devoured the book slowed. My interest waned a little. And this is a book in which you have to pay attention, Remington and his little flower demand it.

I'm also not sure I one hundred percent understand the relationship between these characters or our secondary ones either. I honestly mean this , this is a book you really have to devote your attention to, pay attention and keep your thinking cap on. While this is well written, its almost poetic at times. And by that I mean how certain things that are said need to be broken down, defined, considered. Which is not always a bad thing, its just not my favorite thing to do while reading.

I liked the book. I loved the development of the relationship between these two characters, even if Rem got a little lost along the way.

❤ HOOKING UP by Helena Hunting 4.5 star review ❤

My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars




Amalie Whitfield is the picture of a blushing bride during her wedding reception–but for all the wrong reasons. Instead of proclaiming his undying love, her husband can be heard, by Amalie and their guests, getting off with someone else. She has every reason to freak out, and in a moment of insanity, she throws herself at the first hot-blooded male she sees. But he’s not interested in becoming her revenge screw.

Mortified and desperate to escape the post-wedding drama, Amalie decides to go on her honeymoon alone, only to find the man who rejected her also heading to the same tiny island for work. But this time he isn’t holding back. She should know better than to sleep with someone she knows, but she can’t seem to resist him.

They might agree that what happens on the island should stay on the island, but neither one can deny that their attraction is more than just physical. 

Filled with hilariously scandalous situations and enough sexual chemistry to power an airplane from New York City to the South Pacific, Hooking Up is the next standalone, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from Helena Hunting, the New York Times bestselling author of the Pucked series and Shacking Up. 



*arc received for an honest review * 4.5 stars!

I want to start with this.. for me,this was a one stop shop. I read this whole book in one sitting. okay, maybe one and a half because I needed sleep, but I dove right in and was addicted. now I know you see 4.5 stars and are wondering why not 5? I had two issues. one- I kept mixing up the hero and villians names. I don't know why. but I couldn't keep Armstrong and Lexington straight. I had to write myself a note. there was something about their names, so incredibly different , but I kept struggling with them. two- I couldn't jive with Armstrong strong arming Amie. the drag out. it got to be a little annoying. other than those two minor details I loved this story. the chemistry between these two characters was off the charts. we all know Helena can bring the heat when it comes to the sexy stuff, but with these two I love that we get to see their connection on a deeper level. you can feel them building this foundation while away. yes, it's hot as all get out, but Amie and Lex were about so much more than how hot they burn up the sheets. the secrecy is just added sexy.

I love reading Helena Hunting. she always delivers such a story complete with humor, heat, and love. she always makes me feel like I miss love when I'm done reading her books, and as much as I hate it, I love it.
