#ARC #Review #Preorder Anywhere With You by @britneyking_

Anywhere with you Tour Button

They say opposites attract. For Jack and Amelie, that statement is about as close to the truth as it gets. She runs from anything that so much smells like love. And, well, as for Jack, he's always been a fan of the chase. Especially where she's concerned. Which is exactly what happens when he proposes... to accompany her on a cross-country road trip. A bet is made. True to form, Jack puts everything on the table—while Amelie keeps her cards tucked close to her heart. The question remaining when it all shakes out—is whether it's possible they can both win? Will a road trip across the country finally teach them to meet in the middle? Or simply drive them further apart? This is the continuation of a love story that (like many) was never really over.

5 Star #Review ! Walk Through Fire by @KristenAshley68




Walk Through Fire
by Kristen Ashley
Release: Oct 27, 2015
Genre: MC Romance

Review: 
KA never disappoints me! I am not a fan of MC book, and yet I love the Chaos series! This can absolutely be read as a standalone, although I recommend that you go back and read them all at some point. Just because they are that good!
t was a bit of a rough start for me, but that is a personal thing. It’s rough for the characters too, which is always hard on an empathetic reader. I wasn’t sure if I would end up liking this book, which is shocking to me as its KA. I should have known better.

Millie and Logan (High) had a pretty dreamy start to their relationship. They fell in love the first time they met, despite their young age and differences. There really was no question in their minds that they would live happily ever after. They worked hard and made plans for the future. Then one day, Millie receives some devastating news and she isn’t able to recover from the effect it will have on her relationship with Logan. So, she does what she thinks is best, and pushes him away. I have some experience with the problem Millie faces and I have to say, while I understood her motives, I didn’t agree with them. Such is life though, even characters in a book have their version of free will.

Twenty years go by. Twenty years where neither of them are really living. Logan is filled with animosity and hurt that he can’t let go. But, to a certain extent he makes a life for himself, marrying and having to daughters. Although, as the book begins, he has finally divorced his wife. For Millie, she didn’t even exist to a point where she had a life outside of her home and work. She was surrounded by friends and family, and yet, even in their presence she was isolated, broken by her past.

Circumstances bring the two together again and they make an attempt to heal the wounds caused by each other. It’s not easy when Millie is being used as a pawn by High’s enemy, or the struggle to help High’s daughters accept what is separately happening in the lives of their parents.
Logan and Millie are very strong characters. Millie certainly isn’t a pushover and she stands up for all that she has worked for, refusing to let it go and just fall into the ideal future that High wants. She forces him to compromise and she does the same. She could be so beaten down by the events in the story, but she really does hold her own, especially with the help of family and friends.

Logan is such a contradiction. And yet, the puzzle pieces all fit together seamlessly. He is a biker through and through, but he is capable of such romance, and tenderness, almost poetic in his speech at times. He loves passionately and holds on to what he wants, refusing to accept that there will be any other outcome than the one he wants. Despite his impetuous and passionate nature, Logan has matured and grown to have patience. To step back from a situation and see the smarter play, which is vitally important within the plot.

You can’t help but love these two, rooting for them with everything you’ve got. They deserve to find happiness, they’ve suffered for it, walked through fire for it, and worked for it. As sad as I always am when a book comes to its conclusion, I’m also relieved to see these characters get the HEA they deserve. 

As is always the case, I look forward to seeing a glimpse of these characters again as I continue following the brothers of Chaos.

Review- 4 Stars
I have loved this Unexpected Heroes series and this novella is a sweet little addition. I was worried with the plot laid out at the beginning that the book would be rushed to fit so much into so few pages. However, it’s paced pretty well. There were a couple of spots where I had stop for a minute and look back, thinking I’d missed some pages because of a jump in the timeline. Overall though, I enjoyed Axel and Ella’s story.
          I fell for Axel right away. He has such a charming a personality and a sweet, boyishness mixed in with the sexy alpha. I loved that he didn’t fight his attraction to Ella, instead he was determined to break down her walls. He is fierce and protective, making a woman feel safe and loved. I felt like his reaction to things later in the book were not the best choice for the author, they seemed to contradict who he was for the rest of the book. That’s all I can say without a spoiler.
          Ella was an interesting mix of annoyance and admiration. To be honest, it didn’t really change much until the end. Ella is strong, fiercely independent, and courageous. However, her stubborn belief that she is not in danger drove me a little crazy. As did the staunch resistance in seeing where things could go with Axel. In the beginning, I understood it, but I felt like Axel proved himself quite a bit before she chose to let down her walls.
          Ella’s friends are adorable and they brought a fun dynamic to the story as well. I do love a good HEA and this is definitely a warm fuzzies ending. Following Her is a fun little addition to the series.
