Making Waves by Ophelia London

Title: Making Waves: A Perfect Kisses Novella (Perfect Kisses #3.5) by Ophelia London

Age group: Adult

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publisher: Entangled Bliss

Release Date: June 16, 2014

She’s in over her head and he’s in hot water…

Visiting her friends Ellie and Charlie in Hawaii was supposed to be a much-needed vacation for journalist Justine Simms. But when she learns the notoriously reclusive pro-surfer Chase Ryder is coming out of retirement for a competition, she knows she’s found the perfect exclusive to save her career. Of course, then she learns he’s the gorgeous, secretly nerdy guy who broke her heart a year ago.

Will Davenport—aka Chase Ryder—doesn't do interviews. He keeps his real name out of the papers and doesn’t mix his public life with his private. That is, until the still-heartbroken Justine blackmails him into giving her an exclusive. Seeing Justine, stunningly beautiful as ever, brings back all the feelings he had before. But despite their smoldering attraction, nothing has changed since he had to leave her the first time.

Review:

I had the perfect set up when reading this book; outside next to a pool, with the sun out and a nice
big sunhat. That only thing better would be sitting on the beach. 

I love this book, it was a great novella that was just as good as Ophelia London’s full length works. Making Waves was fun but it has the right mix of heartfelt, touching. At some points it was predictability, but with all the great romance, I was fine with it. The characters are very endearing and felt real. 5 out of 5 stars. One of my favorite this year! If you are looking for a quick, fun, summer read for the beach or pool: THIS IS IT!

LEARNING TO FORGIVE by R.D. Cole

LEARNING TO FORGIVE 

Author: R.D. Cole

Series: The Learning Series, Book 3

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

SYNOPSIS:

This isn't your Typical Everyday fairytale. 

This story isn't sweet or sugary.

Instead... 

It's Raw and Dark

It's Rough and Dangerous

And It's Definitely not for kids under 17 years of age.

So turn back now if you're not ready for Lyric and Blaire's story. Because shit just got Real.

“I’ve learned a lot this past year, but there are two things I’ll never forget: one, People aren’t what they seem, and two, I fucking hate liars.” –Blaire

Blaire Morgan was a quiet, grief stricken girl when she left Mobile, Alabama, a year ago after her brother’s unexpected death. She returns a year later with fresh wounds from another betrayal, and she’s not the same person. A woman letting her tortured past rule her life, her “take no shit” attitude is catching the attention of everyone that crosses her path, including the bad boy front man of Lyrical Obsessions—the new band that plays at Jay Jay’s. When she learns he has something she wants, she plans on doing whatever it takes to get it.

What is a demon? An evil spirit possessing a person, acting as a tormentor in Hell?

Lyric “The Demon” Devereux is that tormentor and Hell is any place he sees fit, either in the fighting ring or on the streets. He killed his first person at seventeen years old, and that list has grown over the years—as well as his list of enemies—but his biggest enemy is himself and he doesn’t know how to win that battle. 

When Blaire comes into town like wildfire and turns heads, Lyric’s temper emerges—uninvited and unexpected. His plan to stay at a distance for her safety, and his sanity, changes when she continuously shows up with her defiance and seductive pull. He now has no choice but to face his past that could possibly destroy the both of them.

Tempers will detonate. 

Lust will consume. 

Truth will destroy. 

But will love forgive?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

R.D. Cole 

R.D. Cole is a lively person with a determination to make it in life. Once her mind gets set on an idea she pursues it with passion. As long as she has God and her family she feels she can conquer every day. Besides reading and writing she loves to sing, dance, and go mudding on her Souped-up Can Am. Her hubby is 9 years younger but he seems more mature than her at times and they level one another out. She has a beautiful daughter named Bethani who is a miracle and a fighter. She's the only known living survivor of Matthew Woods Syndrome and when no one thought she'd live R.D. said "yes she will." R.D. takes nothing for granted when it comes to life. "Everything can be ripped from your fingers before they can grasp it. So if you want something in life, do it. Go for it." 

That same mindset has helped R.D. write small pieces of her life mixed in to fictional settings and characters that will capture your heart. 

"Read on. Dream on. Write on." -R.D. Cole

A Risk Worth Taking By Heather Hildenbrand

Review:

I really liked this book, it’s a sweet and wonderful read.

Summer moved back to her hometown, to help her parents’ divorce, but their split broke summer. She’s not sure how real love is if the happiest couple she knew could break up out of the blue. So she goes back to find herself and some faces that are familiar, loving even. She sees Ford and the attraction is immediate (for both). 

Ford is a happy go lucky guy, who follows his dreams. He is focused not to repeat his father mistakes and settle down before he achieves them. He wants a life without “what’s if’s”

Both of them, while knowing each other will learn a lot about themselves and how life can be unpredictable and is the risk worth taking?

I really liked this book, it’s a fresh take on something that could get over drama filled, which sometimes turns me off. It was light and fun but real. It brings a great mix of emotion but somehow keeps it from being too much. The main characters are both so likeable, down to earth and deal with life like a real person. I love them together because it brings more to the book, a sizzle. I love the underlining subplot of risking for love, because it can be scary and you could end up with a broken heart. I really enjoyed the quotes at the beginning of each chapter (but I am a lover of quotes).

A Risk Worth Taking is a beautifully written New Adult Novel that is freshly filled with a story of risking everything for love. It’s light on the drama that so many New Adult Novels are filled with, I love that is reminds us that some romance is better being real. I love that is was more realistic.  4 out of 5 Stars.
