ADVANCED PRAISE ON GOODREADS

"The Last Thing is a story about love and loss, rediscovery of ones self, and self determination to find a way to continue on...I would suggest this book to lovers of the ten tiny breaths series and of the many Abbi Glines book lovers out there. Briana Gaitan has a knack for true descriptive writing as you feel yourself submerging into the story while falling in love with the characters."

"Quinn moves to LA to live with her soap star cousin Ginger, and meets the gorgeous rising star Chase at a party. They have amazing chemistry, but have a bit of a rocky road as Quinn has to overcome with her past and they both have to deal with the consequences of their actions in the present...
Also Chase is just amazing, possibly the perfect book boyfriend"

"Great book with sadness, humor, compassion, love, and awesome characters."

The Moment We Began by Sarra Cannon (Bree)

The moment they both believe all hope is lost is the moment something real finally begins.

I have loved Mason Trent for years, but I've only been sleeping with him for one.

None of my friends know about our secret passion. He's in my bed one night and in the arms of someone else the next. And it's tearing me apart.

I've done everything I can think of to make him mine, but the more I cling to him, the harder he pushes me away. I'm spiraling out of control, not sure how much more of this I can take. A girl can only bend so far until she breaks. And when I do, I break completely. I'm talking about one night of bad decisions, all leading to a my-world-will-never-be-the-same kind of moment. A moment where I need Mason more than ever. True to form, though, he's running.

But I intend to go with him this time. I'm willing to leave my money, my family, my friends behind for this one last chance to see if he could ever really love me the way I deserve to be loved. I'm willing to sacrifice forever if it means one real moment with him.


Each book in the Fairhope series can stand-alone, but you'll see updates on your favorite characters throughout each book, so read them in order to get the most out of the series! (goodreads summary)

My review

I received a free copy via netgalley for my honest opinion.

Let me just say, I wasn't a fan of the first book. This one was much better. I actually cried along with Penny. Her love for Mason was strong. After years of hooking up, Penny is sick of being strung along.  She decides to join him on a road trip to find out once and for all if Mason is the one for her.  This is a wonderful storyline that involves character who grow from the beginning. Penny starts out as your typical rich girl, but she is so much more. The writing is much better in this book than the first one as well and I can't wait until the next one!

Three Nights With A Rockstar Review (Bree)

When Hailey crashes a Half-Life after party, she expects to find the bastard who knocked up her little sister. Instead she meets the sexy front-man who agrees to give her access to his crew if she gives him access to her body.

All Lock demands in return is three days of complete control over the Sunday School teacher. With a contract, because he’s been burned before. One misstep could send the band—and his tenuous sobriety—up in flames.

Hailey and Lock push each other’s limits… Against the penthouse window. Backstage. In the limo and on the elevator. But as the contract counts down, neither are ready for the party to end.

My Review

Caution my review may contain slight spoilers. (Given free copy by author for my honest opinion.)

This novel could have been so much more.It started off great, but the character development was minimal and scenes were not well done and choppy at best.

Hailey is this responsible, mother-like character who is on a mission to find out who her little sister got pregnant by. 

Now I had some major issues with the story line. It sounds like Hailey didn't try hard enough to get the truth from her sister plus she went about it in all the wrong ways.

So she tries to find out who impregnated her sister by offering herself up as a call girl? You would think a girl who had to play mother all her life would have a bit more sense. How is this realistic? There is no internal struggle with herself as well on accepting the offer that Lock gives her, she basically just says "Where do I sign?"

Then we find out who the real father is within the first few chapters, which took away from the allure and mystery that could have been. This kind of fell in the "okay" nook. If approached better, it could have been awesome.This book is pure smut, with no real literary awesomeness that made me want to finish it such as a dull story line and flat characters. There has to be a balance between them both. If you are looking for a fun read, this book is for you. If you are looking

for something with a bit more sustenance, I would recommend skipping past it.
