AMIE'S 4 STAR REVIEW

I read these when the author re-did them last year. I enjoyed them with their cliffys and build up of what was to come next. Having them all nice and neat in a box set is amazing !! Lucky for those of you who are just discovering this author and this set now because you won't be waiting - instant gratification !! I reviewed them individually -

FALL FOR ME - 4 STARS
I have fallen in love with this author and her new series and serials that I was lucky enough to read so I was thrilled to hear she was revamping and re-releasing her older books so I had to sign on !!

Once again I was hooked on the characters , they had real life issues and some issues really hit close to home. The abusive boyfriend , the new school , the new journeys and the realization that your life is not your own and you need to change that. I will say Carter and Madison fall pretty quickly BUT when you have been treated poorly all your life as Madison has the second you see what you have missed out on you latch on and there is no way you wouldn't fall in love with Carter ! I loved Carter's family and how open they were to Madison. When you hear the stories of her past you can't help but want the best for her. There is a ton of angst and of course the back and forth. If you have ever been in an abusive relationship at a young age you get it , I know I get it , now as an adult I would think I would have more sense but Madison did what most girls that age do. They cower , they stay , they take it. Thankfully she has her out and she feels confident enough with her new friends to be able to survive. I enjoyed the journey , was scared , nervous and heartbroken at times and then of course was excited because lets face it CARTER IS AMAZING !! Since I did not read the book as previously released I do not know what has changed or stayed the same but I do know there are a few characters I would love to get to know more about and hopefully get that chance.

WAIT FOR ME - 4 STARS

I am so happy to have signed on for the re-releases of this series !! Having not read them before I have no clue of what changes were made , all I can say is I am enjoying the college aged angst , drama and sex !! LOL
You knew Jason and Nicole were going to have a fun or at least rollercoaster ride of a story to tell. I did hope for a little back tracking to the night they spent together but no biggie. They gave me enough steam to last a long time !! Jason and his family story intrigued me and come to find out Nicole's family story is not much better. Of course we have a couple twists and turns and one major twist that could have done major damage , thankfully it didn't.

Nicole has been waiting for Jason to smarten up and fall for her or admit he has fallen. Waking up to him is a pleasant surprise and it gives her the strength to finally ask what the heck they are doing. Does she get answers she wants ?? Well Jason isn't an easy nut to crack. his father's issues have long been a factor in his relationship woes. Can Nicole break down that wall and claim her man ?? I love them together , they may try little things to get on each others radar but it is fun and lighthearted. No major drama at first and they are super hot together. I love how we get more of the gang together and we also get some lead in for more stories. Can Jason and Nicole fight the odds and have that amazing love like Carter and Maddy ?? I hope so because I know I am looking forward to more from these couples in the books to come.

FIGHT FOR ME - 4 STARS

Another fun and fast read from this author !! The mystery of Shawn has been building for the past 2 books so obviously by now we are all freaking out wanting to know what the heck is going on. I kind of went with the assumptions of his friends and honestly what it was didn't even cross my mind for some reason !! I know I am slow with the hints.

So here we are in Shawn and Christen's world. Coming from two totally different lifestyles yet feeling a connection they can't deny. Christen has had a crush on Shawn for some time but he has been preoccupied. Now that the girls have found out his secret Christen takes it upon herself to check on him after. Once he really sees her he realizes she is beautiful and caring. After he finally confesses to his friends what has been going on he is then free to confront Christen about them. This is all quick and practically painless ! They have a fast and easy relationship and I enjoyed them together. Christen is very supportive and Shawn is actually an amazing guy. Once family gets involved things start to get messy. Shawn's family is great , they love Christen and they are very welcoming. They work hard and have a simple life. Although Shawn is fine attempting to hang with Christen's family her parents are not welcoming at all and their plans put a halt to anything we had been enjoying. With a little help from Jason , of all guys , Shawn is able to snap out of it and claim his girl. Of course we then have the game changing event. My only complaint here is that this event was major and could have used a little more time BUT regardless the way it all pans out and comes together works for me and now I am excited for the next book !

BREAKING FREE - 4 STARS

So I was shocked that this book strayed a bit from the gang and had Holly branching out , but DUH the title is Breaking Free so it really fits in more ways than one. I have enjoyed getting to know Holly and with her whole internet meet and greet thing going on I was curious to see what came of it. The story starts out with a BANG and then we come to the present and we really don't get much more detail about that horrible start. There are some flashbacks and nightmares but the blanks are slowly filled in. I did enjoy Drew and Holly's story, yes Drew was a jerk BUT go with the flow , Holly needed something to happen to break her out of her rut so why not a HOT AS SIN rocker with a crap attitude and a heartbreaking past !!

Holly has suffered a horrible event and is now left broken. She hates anyones touch , she avoids a lot and does not talk about what happened. Carter is on high alert after not being able to prevent her hurt and he drives Holly right out the door , and honestly I don't blame her. Not only is he smothering her but how can she not be intrigued by DREW FREAKIN WALKER and his bad boy , bad attitude !! Holly loves her brother and her friends but something feels right and for the first time in months Holly is able to be free. I will admit some of this may be hard to grasp with its quickness and craziness BUT it is a story and a feel good one at that. I flew through this in a matter of hours and enjoyed the escape from reality and had fun swooning over Drew !! They don't have an easy road and it is angsty and slightly juvenile but yet all things I love !! If you have followed the series it's a must , if you enjoy the author grab the whole series and dig in.

I swear I almost sent a hate email to her , which I have done before , BUT she quickly redeemed herself , it was a close call and I did yell at her out loud in my house despite the fact she can't hear me !!

Alexis Noelle lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with her husband, and three kids. On top a writing career, she is a full-time student and a full-time mom. She loves spending time with her kids, although she has to hide the computer from them when she is writing! She love being active and being outdoors, especially if it involves any kind of shopping.

She has always been passionate about writing. She loves to read romance books and feels like being able to lose yourself in a book is one of the more exciting aspects. The books she loves to read and write will be ones that make you feel for the characters. Ashley believes that you should have an opinion on every character in a book whether you love them, hate them, or think they are up to something.She also believes that the most important critic is your reader, so she loves to hear from the readers. She want her fans to be open & talk to her about what they want for the characters in the story, and what they would like to see happen.

About Maegan

Hey there! I'm Maegan and I am also a book whore... Seriously, I'm pretty sure I should be in some sort of rehab for this. Book Whore's Anonymous or something! I have a huge list of book boyfriends and it seems I find a new one every time I read. (Which, unfortunately, isn't very often anymore.) Amie and I have a great time running this blog, hosting tours, generally getting to know the readers, authors, and promoters in the industry. A little about me, hmm... let's see. Well, I was a huge reader. From childhood, I loved the escape of reading. Being the middle of three kids, I was always the quiet one. While my older brother and younger sister fought for attention, I curled up in my room with a book. After high school, I fell out of reading as much. Life just became different, as it does for all of us. Then I went to college in my mid-twenties and who had time to read anything but school texts between classes and two jobs. I was also an assistant Girl Scout leader for my young cousins troop. The leader had been telling me for months that I needed to read Twilight. There was so much hype surrounding those books (The first movie had just come out on DVD at the time) and I refused over and over. Finally, we were at camp one weekend and it was the first time that the girls were officially in charge of everything. From rotating teams in the kitchen to clean up, the girls did it all and we were bored out of our minds. Finally, a van full of us went into the nearest town and raided a Wal Mart for books and cards to play games. The leader talked me into buying Twilight. I started it that afternoon and couldn't put it down. I stayed up til lights out and could barely sleep because I wanted to keep reading. The best part was, the girls were so excited. They were all running up to me all day asking me what part I was at. Their excitement fueled my own. That is what got me excited about reading again. The story was good, I enjoyed it, but the passion for reading was really brought back through the eyes of sixteen twelve-year-olds who loved sharing something they enjoyed with me. Maybe that's why I love sharing what I enjoy now!

About Amie

Hi there , My name is Amie and I am a book whore through and through !! My list of book boyfriends is miles long and I really hate to share any of them but I will !! I am a stay home mom , 2 beautiful daughters and a loving tattooed hubby who drives me crazy !! I am loving this blog thing and of course I am so happy to be meeting all these fabulous authors and bloggers. I was never a big fan of reading , most of what I read was in school , then in my early 20's I started reading books about the bands I listened to and eventually a few friends broke me down and made me read Twilight !! I fell in love and after months of reading and re-reading the series I opened up to other options and now read daily and would probably go crazy if I did not have a list of books to read each week !! Thanks for checking out our blog !!

Meet our REVIEW TEAM !!

WENDY -

Hi I’m Wendy and I’m from NJ. Reading is one of my favorite things to do. I will read anything as long as the blurb grabs my attention and the story is good. I have always been a reader since I got my first library card. I did stop when I was older because of school but was finally able to get back into it a couple of years ago. Now I just can’t stop and I am completely happy to be a book whore smile emoticon I love being a part of this blog-everyone is so nice and I have made really great friends.

AMY -

My name is Amy W., and I am a book addict. I will never forget the day I came home from junior high school to find my mom waiting for me with one of the Harlequin novels from my stash. As she was gearing up for the “you shouldn’t be reading this” lecture, I told her the characters get married in the end. I’m just glad she didn’t find the Bertrice Small book hidden in my closet. I have diverse reading tastes, evident by the wide array of genres on my Kindle. As I made the transition to an e-reader, I found myself worrying that something could happen to it. As a result, I am now the proud owner of four Kindles — all different kinds, but plenty of back-ups!

Fifty Shades of Grey gets high marks on my favorites list — not for character development or dialogue (definitely not!), but because it blazed new ground for those of us who believe provocative fiction is more than just an explicit cover. Sylvia Day, Lexi Blake and Alexx Andria are some of my favorite authors. Speaking of diverse tastes, I also enjoy Christine Feehan, Iris Johansen and J.A. Konrath. Give me something with a well-defined storyline, add some suspense (or spice), and I am a happy reader. Give me a happily ever after, and I am downright giddy.

SHERI -

My name is Sheri from New Orleans and I will reading anything that has a HEA (I don't do well with sad endings), a macho Alpha Male or something with a strong female lead. I go absolutely crazy for any type of book that involves a MC (being a biker's wife its a lifestyle I kinda understand) or anything that deals with emotionally broken characters. I got into the reading game kinda late in life. I couldn't stand to read when I was younger but now I rather read a book than watch tv. I love being a part of this fine group of ladies and only wish we were all in the same city.

JILL -

I started reading at a ridiculously early age and have never really stopped. Growing up, I of course complained about the required reading but secretly loved the happily ever afters as opposed to the tragedies. While everyone else was blowing off the Lit classes in high school I looked forward to them. Then the real world stepped in and reading was not so fun anymore between work/school/family obligations it fell by the wayside. My wonderful "techie" hubby bought me the first generation Sony e-reader for Christmas one year and the rest is pretty much history. I have gone through three Sony e-readers and two kindles since then and read books from every genre under the sun. I am the only girl in a house full of boys that know undoubtedly that all women (including me) should be treated like a princess. It still makes me laugh that my love affair with books started with Frog and Toad not 50 shades.

Cassandra -

My name is Cassandra, and I am a book whore from the San Francisco Bay Area. Over the years, I have enjoyed most genres of fiction, but now I mainly stick to the many subgenres of romance. I’m a sucker for a hot book boyfriend and a happily ever after. I like writing reviews to help readers decide if a book is a good fit for them, and I love supporting the many wonderful authors out there. One of the things I love most about reviewing for We Stole Your Book Boyfriend, is finding brand new authors. There is something undeniably exciting about writing a review on someone’s debut novel, and feeling like I am somehow a small part of their entry into the literary world.
