4.5 stars

I really like this series so far and I can't wait to read more of it!

I didn't think I could like this more than I did the first one and up until the half way point I didn't...and then it all started to come together beautifully and I ended up really falling for Logan, too. He came to his senses (finally!) and did everything he could to get Grace back.

I loved the banter between the teammates again in this one and the way they'd rib each other over their failures relationship wise and just in general. It made me smile a few times at least. I also loved how the author wrote the last chapter, not the epilogue, the one before. I, myself, felt a little like crying about Logan's future so I'm glad it all worked out in the end. And then I also loved the epilogue. They were all so happy!

I can't wait to read Dean's story!

There's something about Tijan's books that leaves me wondering what I've just read. The same thing happened with Broken & Screwed 1 and 2.

That's not to say that's a bad thing. I did like this. There was just so much going on and people getting together with everyone that I kind of lost the plot a little.

Then the Mason and Sam thing just kind of appeared between one page and the next, it might not have done but that's how it seemed to me. They did make quite a nice couple but I didn't quite get Mason a lot of the time.

Logan on the other hand, I loved. He's crazy but he's loyal and protective of his family.

As for everyone else...well, they're kinda not important. Not in the grand scheme of the book. Though I grew to like Nate too.

I guess I'll have to continue the series to find out what will happen next now, too.

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) in Movies

Sep 25, 2019

And now for something entirely epic... Of course I had to take a half day to go and see Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2, and I wasn't disappointed. Well, not by the film itself, the music selection this time could have been a bit better. The opening sequence though... O. M. G. I love Groot. He is just so f*****g adorable... and yes, I'm sorry, but I did feel the need to swear there. I couldn't help but think that they were trying to make up for the lack of after film scenes in Logan though... because five seemed a bit over the top. It still amazes me that people leave before the end of the credits, especially as one of the scenes came on when they were walking out. There aren't many films that I would bother to see again at the cinema, even though I have my Unlimited card, but I'm probably going to go see this one again. It was very entertaining.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Offside (The Barker Triplets, #1) in Books

Sep 6, 2019

I enjoyed this.

Though how those triplets are related, I'll never know. They're always arguing and b*tching about one thing or another in each others lives and it drove me wild whenever they were together in the same room. I get sibling rivalry, but jeez! They were vicious.

As for the romance between Billie-Jo and Logan, I really liked it. It was slow and sweet and had me sighing at certain parts.

I liked the storyline, a female ex-professional ice hockey player playing on an all men's team and showing them that she's good enough to do it and in most cases better than them.

The bits we saw of Bobbie-Jo kinda made me like her, though I'm sure I'll come to like her fully <b>when</b> I read her and Shane's story. As for Betty-Jo, she seemed like a bit of a b*tch with what she did to Billie in this and at present I'm not a fan.
