Serenity Falls, Tiffany Aleman & Ashley Poch

Amazon US



ARC received by author for an honest review

Where do I begin?

Just by reading the synopsis of this book I was already hooked, a broken girl and a hot cowboy what more could you want in a book? And I must say I was not let down by this book at all, it contained drama, sex, love, heartbreak and humour as well as the odd country song.

Kenleigh was a stronger character than I thought she was going to be when I read the synopsis and the opening of the book, she managed to grow from this broken depressed girl into a woman who helped children get through depression and disabilities, and she did this by helping out on the Serenity Falls Farm in the summer. Horses helped her get through her depression so she wanted to give back, plus she loved the family that ran the farm. However this summer, she was not expecting Wes to show up and throw her through a loop.

Together they were perfect and fun, doing things that us girls only dream a  guy would do with us, of course they had their ups and downs what kind of book would it be if they didn’t. But it wasn’t repetitive; they all had their place their purpose that made this book a good read.

Wes is a professional bull rider (I know classic cowboy) and his looks and job make the girls swoon (even the ones reading the book) he never really settled down, but when he meets Kenleigh that’s what he wants, her and him to live happily ever after. Through the book you see him win Kenleigh over and treat her like a princess and fight for her when things go bad.

I was a little disappointed in the ending, in my opinion it should have been different, a lot of YA books end the way this one ended. I just thought because the book had been so great, that the ending was a little disappointed, that being send it did tie the book up in a nice bow.




I really enjoyed this book, reading about the journey to love between Kenleigh and Wes. I give this book a 4* rating.

Escaping Me, Elizabeth Lee


Whitney has escaped her ex-boyfriend by spending the summer with her mum and sister. The last thing on her mind is a new guy so why does she keep bumping into Cole?

Cole got kicked out of his house by his brother and the last thing he wants is to draw attention to himself, so why did he help her?

When I read the reviews of this book, I thought this book was right down my street and I was right.

I was expecting the book to start with Whitney walking in on her ex-boyfriend in the middle of having sex with some random girl, but it didn't and too my surprise I was happy that it didn't as the way it started held my attention more because it was different. It started off with Whitney and Cole’s first encounter and from that moment I was hooked.

Whitney’s perfect looks and Cole's bad boy image I knew that they would be together and their sexual chemistry was insane. Though the book had a lot of drama and a lot of arguments between different characters it held my attention the entire way through and not once did I think it was repetitive.

This stories ending was different than most, as Cole was moving to Georgia to start up his own business Whitney was going to stick at the school she was already at and try at a 2 years of a long distance relationship, I like how neither of them were going to change their lives for each other until Whitney was able to transfer to a school in Georgia, you never see their relationship get that far you see them struggle as they have to do long distance for 4 months and see the strength of their relationship.

This book makes you think that no matter where you are both from and who or what gets in the way, love can conquer all if you let it.



I enjoyed this book a lot and will happily give it a 4* rating.
