Trailer Park Princess

 

This is a YA about a girl named Rory who is struggling with some hard issues.  She is basically a mother to her younger brother Thax because her mother is an absent parent.  Rory starts at yet another new school and in the process meets Toby who is the all-star quarter back of the football team.

 

Even though Rory struggles with some harsh issues that most people have never dealt with,  I grew to love her.  While reading this book, I bonded with both Rory and her friend Mando.  I hit the floor rolling when Mando was in a fight with another character and said "Frumpy looking douche discharge. Umpa lumpa twat snot."  There were several times that I wanted to cry because of what Rory was going through and other times I was laughing so hard because of something the Mando said.

 

Toby and Rory end up dating for a year.  During that time Toby basically treats Rory as trailer park trash by refusing to stop when she was getting in or out of his truck, Not defending Rory against his friends, and still talking to the ex. 

 

At one point in the book a new character named Rome enters.  Rome is a 24 year old who is raising his younger brothers after his mother passes away.  Rome becomes friends with Rory, which causes problems with Rory and Toby.  Rome becomes Rory's rock while she deals with some tough issues.

 

I totally fell in love with this book and am looking forward to the next book in the series!!

***3 Stars***

This is a YA, Sci-fi novel that revolves mostly around the developing relationship between Beckit (an African-American teenaged girl from planet earth that has no memories of her early childhood and is a very unpopular girl that has a spot on the school swim team) and Aaron (a 1000+ year old "Knight" from the planet Traterra). After Beckit experiences a personal tragedy, she is thrown in with Aaron in this whirlwind adventure that lands her on a different planet that is akin to Earth but with paranormal elements. Throw in her hispanic bff Meka, a gay and snarky werewolf, and a very smooth yet bisexual vampire and you have a pretty interesting, multicultural motley crew. They experience a lot of violence and Aaron kicks a lot of serious ass. We learn that Beckit is of some importance on this strange planet and her services are needed to accomplish a goal that is important to the livelihood of those that live there.

The language is amusing and entertaining and easy to read. There are a few love triangles involved within these pages, just a warning, and it ends in a huge cliff-hanger! However, there is a good underlying message here and it's pretty true to today's social obstacles such as interracial and same-sex relationships.

I am giving this read three stars because I found myself having trouble following along with some of the transitions and struggled with understanding why Aaron was attracted to Beckit to begin with, let alone why two men were fighting over her affections. The book also left a lot of unanswered questions (important ones) that will hopefully be resolved in Book 2: Honored, which is available for purchase now.

Overall, if you are a YA and Science Fiction fan, I think you will enjoy this very creative read.

5 Stars!

If you have read Alluring Turmoil (book 1), then be prepared! Alluring Seduction is nothing like Turmoil.  This book is WAY HOTTER!!

   This book is about a journalist by the name of Blue and Jessie, a member of a band called Bayou Stix that Blue is on tour with. Throughout the story, Blue ends up developing feelings for Jessie, only to find out that he's not ready for a committed relationship and is contented with being the band's manwhore. Put the two together and some serious sparks fly- both good and bad.

 The sex scenes are HOT and will make you want to walk away just to cool down so you can finish reading.  Blue and Jessie suffer some setbacks but finally pull it together and figure out what they really want.

I personally had trouble with putting this book down and finished it in one day.  I am disappointed that it was so good that I finished it so quick and now I have to wait until the next one comes out.

5 stars

This book grabbed me from the beginning and never lost my attention.  I fell in love with both with both Lorrie Burnham and Hunter Jensen. 

Lorrie has suffered from a traumatic past and has finally returned to school after taking some time off.  Before classes begin she meets this mysterious man who saves her from drowning.  After being saved, Lorrie runs and hides.  She finally meets the mystery man after a MMA match at a bar.  Lorrie finds out his name and decides to become friends with Hunter.  Hunter wants more than Lorrie is willing to give but for the time being he will accept her friendship.  Hunter suffers from a past that he is not willing to share with Lorrie

“Is there something wrong? What’s going on, Lorrie?”

Flustered, I blurted my unfiltered thoughts. “I’m not going to sleep with you.  I know what guys like you are like.”

His eyes widened. “Whoa, whoa. What? Did I miss something? Where did you get the idea that we were going to sleep together?”

This book is a cliff-hanger which I am not usually fond of.  Instead I am counting down the days til the next book titled “Rescue” comes out sometime in 2014.
