Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry

WELCOME ALL to Katie McGarry's new book series, and one hell of a series it is going to be. 

Let me introduce you to the two main characters of this book: Oz and Emily. 

They both come from completely different worlds. Their definitions of 'normal' are polar opposites. And they're both as loveable as each other. 

Oz has been a prospect of the 'Reign of Terror,' a motorcycling boy-club ever since the day he was born. He hasn't had it easy but has always loved the community he was brought into. A world completely different than the one Emily understands, the one me and you understand. It is a world that to some seems dangerous and terrifying.. but to the members it's a club about family and loyalty. A place that loves their members no matter what and stands by each other to the end. 

Emily was raised in a world full of secrets, but she did not know this until the day an email arrived from her biological father, Eli telling her that her biological Grandmother had passed away.. this one act was to change her entire life and throw her into the beautiful and chaotic world of the 'Reign of Terror.' What she learns along her journey of finding freedom is what will change her whole lifestyle and also helps not only the reader to see the world we are all sharing in a different perspective, but also Emily to understand the world she could have easily grown up in. 

“This is your family … If you learn to love us then you will forever have our love in return.”

One of my favourite secondary characters in this book is Olivia, her sense of not-giving-a-shit, is the most refreshing thing to grace my world of reads in quite a long time and the life lessons Emily is to learn from her are not just ones of extraordinary fiction, they're ones that we can all learn from. 

Emily and Oz's relationship was fun to watch grow throughout the book. Their attitude at the beginning made me laugh out loud and Oz's words of complete honesty made me cry multiple times throughout this book, but I did not expect anything less from this magnificent author who uses words to tell show us all a different side of this beautifully messed up world. 

“Like you know anything about living. You never take a risk!”

“I’m here, aren’t I?”

“But not fully engaged. When the hell are you going to step outside of yourself and experience what’s going on around you? You have a huge family I would kill to be blood-related to and you can’t appreciate it to save your life!” 

Believe it or not this innocent looking book made me cry for the first nine chapters, non-stop and the only explanation I can seem to come up with.... it was Katie McGarry's way of putting words together and making me feel all the emotions both Oz and Emily (the main characters) were feeling underneath the surface. 

Fans of Simone Elkeles' books: Perfect Chemistry, Rules of Attraction & Chain Reaction.. will most definitely enjoy reading this masterpiece of words and even if you're not a fan of those books, I'm sure you'll fall head over heels for this mesmerizing series. 

This book is a million percent a 5 star read and I sure as hell will be getting all my friends (& maybe family) to read it.. because damn if they don't they're missing out on something straight out of the Heavens.

Fall With Me by J.Lynn

Book four in the Wait For You series, a series full of heated romance and shocking storylines! 

We met Roxy and Reece in Calla and Jax's lovestory! We knew from the moment we laid eyes (more read about them but shh) on them we needed their books and Jennifer didn't let us down, thank the Gods. 

Roxy is the cute painter, with the geeky glasses and has been in love with Reece for like ever.. Reece is the drool worthy meal on the menu that costs too much, but looks like it's worth it.. and well he's all a uniform guy with some very toned abs that can speak words of seduction quite well! So yeah I think y'all get the picture! 

“Unfortunately, I also hated him, absolute loathed him. Ah, well, most of the time. Sometimes. Pretty much whenever I gazed upon his perfection and started lusting after him. Yeah, that's when I hated him.”

J.Lynn tells an utterly amazing romance story but she also dives into the land of seriousness with Roxy's story. She speaks of forgiveness and teaches us that first you must forgive yourself before you can forgive others for their mistakes. While also making a statement on her stance on the whole 'LGBT' stuff, which I like seeing in such a massively known author. She wasn't afraid to share her thoughts in a non-in-your-face way.

The story she tells is not just a breathtaking romance that makes our hearts race but she also captures the readers suspicious minds with the story of 'Who is the stalker?' playing a major role in this piece of work. Some parts creeped me out and I may now never move out of the lovely warm home that I live with my parents but I must congratulate her for her excellent storytelling techniques throughout. Armentrout shows off her ability at writing 'Who dunnits?' and makes me wonder, "Will she be the next Agatha Christie or Gillian Flynn?" (I looked up 'Who dunnit?' authors on Google in order to write that sentence, don't cringe!) 

“Nick stopped at the door. The grin on his face warned trouble. “By the way, loved the bows on your panties.”

Oh, for fuck’s sake.

Reece’s jaw became so hard I thought it would snap off as he watched Nick saunter out the door.” 

I absoloutely adored this book. After all the excitement Jennifer didn't let me down, but what else can we expect from this amazing author? Fall with me gets 500 out of 5 for everything that makes it a J.Lynn quality book. So let us all celebrate this beaut and read it over and over. While also fangirling over the few short scenes filled with Jax and Calla! 

P.s. The best news ever... We're going to get a book with Naughty Nick (Don't thrash the title people!). But yes beautiful Nick shall have a beautiful book and we shall all be beautifully happy and dancing around gardens singing tunes of love and laughter. (Promise it will happen!)
