Wow! Well that was an emotional read but it was amazing. It was beautifully heart wrenching. This is the conclusion to the All we were duet and it was epic. It starts six years after the first book and Jimmy is trying to move forward in his life but he feels in order to do that he needs to find closure about his past with Lilah. Lilah has made a beautiful life for herself so when Jimmy shows up she is shocked and worried. I don’t want to go into too much detail because spoilers but this was beautifully written. One moment my heart hurt for both characters, next I would be smiling, and then another moment I might be teary eyed. This book will put you through all the emotions but it isn’t drawn out it flows so well.… (mais)

REVIEW:  LAGUNA HEIGHTS BY KAIRA ROUDA
 
Laguna Heights by Kaira RoudaMy rating: 4 of 5 starsSecrets, betrayal, fear. Annie had lived with those most of her adult life. Coping was not easy but she managed until she got the shock of her life. A visit from the past. Now one shocking night of violence threatens to destroy all that she holds dear. Kaira Rouda has written a story that every woman should read. Annie was trapped within a prison that she created to escape the events of the past. Her predicament angered me because she didn't deserve the fall out she had to endure because she trusted the wrong person. The seriousness of this story is evident from the first page. One devastating event led to a spur of the moment the decision that could topple her whole world. Laguana Heights is gripping, heartbreaking and triumphant. I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. A stunning piece of fiction that lingers on after the last page.View all my reviews… (mais)

I'm not sure what it is about celebrity romance stories, but I am a sucker for them--especially if they are in the New Adult genre! So this was a must-buy for me and when I found out that the other was Canadian, it was a no-brainer.

Overall, I really enjoyed Rumor Has It. I loved Ellie and Mason. While Ellie could have easily gotten on my nerves, she didn't irritate me. She was a strong, independent heroine and I liked how she handled certain situations (though in some situations I just felt like it went a bit against her character to do what she did--but I was able to get over it). Mason was super sweet and swoon-worthy and there isn't much else to say about that. I liked that they had more in common than physical attraction but I felt like their relationship progressed much too quickly for my tastes.

When I was a few chapters in, I knew how the book was going to end. I felt like it was a little obvious but what I didn't expect was the pathway to get there. It was filled with drama (but not over the top drama which was great) and that made the story a lot more interesting to me.

Overall: This was a great start to a series and I'm excited to see where the next one goes. I'm glad Mason and Ellie's story is limited to this book, but I'm looking forward to seeing more of them in Picture Perfect and seeing what is in store for Skye.

Read my overall review of the whole series here! Spoiler Free!

Skye wasn't a huge character in [b:Rumor Has It|17277901|Rumor Has It|Maureen Child|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1364805504s/17277901.jpg|23891300] but I was excited to read her story and when I did get the time to read it, I really enjoyed it.

The chemistry between her and Landon was fantastic and the sexual tension built throughout the book. They seemed like a really good match to me and I liked that they didn't immediately throw themselves into a passionate relationship but took some time to know each other more (though there is of course some great moments of sexual tension beforehand).

I felt like the book had a good blend between romance and plot--so I never got bored reading it. Like with Rumor has it I had an idea of how it would end but the path getting there was exciting and not predictable.

My only disappointment with the book was that some of the moments between Skye and Landon seemed out of character for Skye. I got the initial impression she was more reserved than she actually was when I started reading the book. I guess that was part of the point about her character though. It honestly wasn't a huge deal for me though it threw me for a bit of a loop initially.

Overall: it was a great follow-up to Rumour Has It and I can't wait to read book 3, Collateral Damage!
