Falling for Romeo by Jennifer Laurens
****

This was a really fun book,just like the others by Mrs. Laurens. This story is fun, took me back to my senior year and senior play. The characters are great, plot was good. Was nice to watch Romeo and Juliet play out in this book, with all the tension the main charters bring. Nice relaxing,quick read, chic lit. book.


Clean romance

Overprotected  by Jennifer Laurens

This was another great book by Mrs Laurens. This is my fourth straight in a row of her books and it did not disappoint. Another nice escapism, great romance book. This story is about Ashley who lives with extremely overprotective parents. They do have reasons for all this overprotectiveness, however it is to the extreme. Ashley must have a bodyguard with her at all times. This makes her crazy, she is almost 18 and wants her freedom. Her father hires a handsome bodyguard after he had fired the last, and the journey begins. This is a really fun romance, once again glued to the pages, yes its predictable. However the journey to the predictable was a lot of fun and interesting.

Nailed by Jennifer Laurens

So Cute and so much fun to read! another Chick Lit. book, that I totally was sucked into. Mandy , AJ and Boston, and yes this is a love triangle. Mandy works for her father on one of his construction sights building houses. There she meets AJ and Boston (AKA Charlie), who will win her heart? It was fun and endearing to watch this play out. The banter and tension was fun to read. Mandy was great, in how she treated both guys, some girls/or guys could be a real jerk if in same scenario. The writing as always just really flowed and swept me away, didnt' want to put it down. Story is kind of predictable, but it was still great. If you are in the mood for light, fluffy and sweet romance pick it up!

Magic Hands by Jennifer Laurens

The cover on this book had steered me away from it, not into the hole groping thing. In this case the old saying don't judge a book by it's cover is true. I had read Mrs. Laurens book "A Season of Eden" totally enjoyed it and decided to try another. This is a fun lite read, great escapism reading and I enjoyed every minute of it. The the main characters Rachel and Cort were fun, Cort's the jock, and Rachel is smart, and has depth. They both have liked each other from a safe distance. Each wonders how something more can ever get started since they each run in different circles.I also really liked the fact that this story is told from both Rachel and Cort's different perspectives. I find it's not that often that we get the guys perspective. You will quickly figure out why the title is called magic hands (it's actually quite funny). Oh, the things Cort gets himself into, but it is not as the cover implies. Great prose very quick read and totally fun romance!

A Season of Eden by Jennifer Laurens

When I had first stumbled upon this book I wasn't sure I would read it or not, it being a story of student / teacher relationship. However the reviews put me at ease Eden is 18 and James is 22, still not ethical but at least not perverted. This is a fun coming of age love story. I liked how Eden could see her immaturity at times and tried to change for the better. I totally enjoyed this story, It reminded me of when I was 17, we had a cute student teacher for the semester all the girls where crushing on him ( as far as I know he behaved himself:). Except for the ending, I want a second book please!! I like closer, no closer here. Still even with the ending I am so glad I read it.

Lemniscate by Jennifer Murgia

The story of Teagan, Garreth, Brynn, Ryan and a few new characters continues. What a story it is! Once again Mrs Murgaia weaves an amazing and thought provoking tale, of relationships and how each touches an others life. The balance of light and darkness, what control one has over how much light and darkness one allows to exists within ones self are at the heart of this story for these characters. There where several times I thought I saw what was coming only to have it turn out totally different. A definite page turner! One part of the story was hard for me to relate to, early on things happen with Teagan and Garreth's relationship considering how long they have known each other I was some what surprised at how it was handled. Probably just because if it were me I would have reacted differently. Don't want to spoil anything so that is all I will say. I love the authors writing style and how the words so effortlessly flow on the page! Great story!

Angel Star by Jennifer Murgia

Wow, This was a great book! Right from the beginning I was taken in by this beautifully written and captivating story. I love Jennifer Murgia's writing style, the words just flow so smoothly. It's like listening to a favorite song, just in book form. The story is a love story about Teagan and Garreth. Garreth is the perfect boyfriend we all dream about he is so caring and protective. He is the ultimate in chivalry, and he is handsome of course. Teagan, learns a lot of things about herself in this story she is a complex character who is fun to get to know. Who are they, what do they mean to each other, what will they sacrifice for each other and who wants to stop them are questions that will be answered. There where several twist and turns that surprised me, I didn't want to put this book down, I wanted to find out how it would all turn out. I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning finishing it, and grateful I had the second book Lemniscate on hand.
