Scars - 4-Star Review

SCARS
By: Eliza Bates


Scars is one of those books that linger on your mind after you’ve read the last page.  While the first chapter seemed a bit random at first, as you keep reading you realize just how much backstory is contained in those pages.  By the time I hit chapter 2, I was hooked and could not put the book down.  

This book was fresh and unlike any other story that I have read.  I was thrilled that at no point in time was I able to predict any future plot points or twists.  It kept me guessing through to the end 
and left me wanting more of the story.  Of course the tease of book 2 at the back of Scars was just enough to make me even more anxious for its release.  

I do have to admit that some of the side characters seemed a little under developed and a few 
minute details didn’t seem to line up (or possibly went over my head), but the story had such a 
tight hold of my attention that it didn’t even detract from the reading experience.  

Overall, Scars is a great book to curl up with and get lost in over a weekend. I was so pleasantly 
surprised with the complexity and unpredictability of the main characters that I could not put it 
down until the very end. I definitely recommend picking this one up!

Fix Me Not - 5-Star Review

Title: Fix Me Not
Series: The Fix Series Book 2
Author: Carey Heywood
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: September 22, 2017 

5-Star Review

Carey Heywood has done it again! One reason that I keep coming back to read each of Carey's new releases is that it feels like a few hours of therapy. She has this wonderful way of showing beautifully strong main characters who encounter serious challenges in life that are so incredibly relatable! Paige is no exception in Fix Me Not.  She is strong, confident, and fighting to make a good life for herself.

In Fix Her Up, we were introduced to the Thompson family and we all instantly fell in love with Noah Thompson.  I have to say, when I heard that the second book was going to be about Asher, I was a little skeptical. A bearded, out in the woods living, loner did not sound like a swoon-worthy character.  Boy was I wrong!!  Asher will make you fall in love with him instantly and make you want your significant other to start growing a beard himself. 😉

Paige Sullivan's life is a train wreck. In a matter of months she lost her business, her swanky apartment, and her big city life. Now she's stuck in Nowhere, New Hampshire, sleeping on her mom's couch. If that wasn't bad enough, she's forced to do odd jobs for money. She has a plan though, and once she's saved enough, she's out of there. That is, as long as she doesn't murder her sexy new employer first.

Asher Thompson is the ruggedly handsome hermit of the Thompson clan. Tall, ridiculously sexy despite his beard, and annoyingly aloof, his main concern is his privacy. He fills his days with his work as a carpenter and the peaceful solitude of his lake house. A peaceful solitude that vanished the moment Paige Sullivan stormed into his life, hell-bent on driving him crazy.
The problem is, opposites attract and each time they cross paths she works her way further under his skin.

"Sweet & sexy with a side of city sass, Fix Me Not is the perfect mix of small town love with a big city feel." - Heidi McLaughlin, NYT Bestselling Author

“So sweet, so funny and so amazing” - Nicole Anaya
“Here,” Paige says, passing me a water and a plate of fries through my window. I’m back in the parking lot of the Moose tonight, parked right next to Millie’s Explorer. “Are you trying to drug me?” I had asked. She shrugs her slender shoulders. “Consider it a truce.” I’ve finished all of the fries and am still working on my drink when she returns an hour or so later. “Shouldn't you be playing with your wood?” I choke on my water. “This your idea of a truce?” I ask, once I’m done coughing. “Humor me,” she says, leaning against my door. “You hired my mom so you wouldn't have to leave your land. Now you're leaving it every day to stalk me. What gives?” My head jerks back. “I am not stalking you.” She presses her lips together before a bubble of laughter escapes. “What would you call it?” I frown partly at her question and more so at the way she's acting. “Why are you being nice to me?”
