Charlotte (184 KP) rated Three Divisions (Crescentwood #1) in Books
Feb 15, 2021
Holy fluff balls, what an amazing start to this series!
Although based around seventeen year old Sophie this is anything but a typical teen book. This is most definitely an adult read with some hard hitting topics like abuse, suicide and bullying to name a few.
Nothing phases Sophie for long, she's an awesome character, with a strong survival instinct, a smart mouth and feisty kick ass personality. She has a kind of sex appeal that calls like a siren song to not one but four men (a girl can dream!!)
The four men all have an outward persona that isn't endearing but beneath the surface lies a hot mess......They go from mean and moody to a girl's wet dream and back again. Like Sophie they all have a hard past driving them, things that bleed into their current lives, each fighting their own demons.
There isn't anything that I don't like as the bits that make me uncomfortable are crucial foundations for the story. They add depth to the characters and create a more three dimensional look at all the key players.
A good strong start to what promises to be an amazing, gripping series....... **Taps fingers impatiently waiting for the next book**

I bought a classic book for the family. I did not read it while growing up. However, I have heard of it. It's called "Where Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak. I knew about this book and heard of it. Why I never read it is beyond me. I have not read it and reviewed it now.
It is adventurous and playful. Max travels to a faraway place that has Wild Things. I wonder if this book plot is imagination or something that lets the little boy discover what it is like to be lonely after a while. Also, learn that loved ones still care even if you have to wait. The food will still be hot when you return.
I am not sure. However, the pictures are well done. I do enjoy the images. I do not get the plot of this story; that might be me; it is a cute book nonetheless. Will Max have fun with the wild things, or will he return home to his bedroom?
Some children will enjoy these books, and parents will want to read and reread this classic book for their children. You may like this for your child's bookshelves as well. The images are superb and colorful, that is for sure.

Sincerely abominable, I still currently have a long-standing headache caused from my face wincing throughout this entire movie. Thank Lord this was only 90 minutes because I felt like I needed a long, boiling hot, chemical-spill-grade shower after watching it. Every minute is an endurance test, once you get past one it feels like an accomplishment right up until you get to the next one - rinse and repeat - oh and they get progressively more and more truly sickening as they go along. Evidently this is pretty much tit-for-tat to what actually happened in the real life story, which makes it even more unsettling, and as a result I do think that this is more sensitive than people give it credit for even if it isn't fully absolved of some issues. The last 15 minutes are horribly rushed through, though while it - commendably - doesn't really go for a trashy/pulpy approach, it's still unbearably tense and crafts a fast food nightmare colored with traumatizing performances and ice-cold direction. Now more than ever a ruthlessly effective treatise on why we shouldn't be expected to hand over our basic human rights to someone simply because they're an authority figure.
Kristina (502 KP) rated Bared to You (Crossfire, #1) in Books
Dec 7, 2020
I loved Bared to You. It’s a seductive story about two completely broken people who come together; I love these particular kinds of books because it’s inspiring to watch the characters slowly begin to heal, through each other. Eva is so completely relatable to me, it’s almost scary. Gideon, despite being rich and hot, seems more obtainable because of the simple mistakes we watch him make. This is probably my favorite part about the whole book, that both characters seem real. Unfortunately, I couldn’t help but make several connections to Fifty Shades of Grey. This kind of set me off, because most of the stories that follow this trilogy involve almost the exact same contents, but I soon realized that Sylvia has her own twists. These differences are what spurred me on and convinced me to keep reading. I immediately fell in love with Cary and, once I realized he wouldn’t be an obstacle, I quickly decided I liked Mark (despite the goatee). Eva’s and Gideon’s adventure is full of scorching heat, broken hearts, and a healing of sorts. As soon as I finished Bared to You, I was scrambling around to get the sequel, Reflected in You. I’m excited to see what Sylvia has in store for these two!

This is my second book by the author and I'm hoping it's as good as the other book I read Stripped, which I gave 4.5 stars.
So in this one Charlotte AKA Charlie is the personal assistant to Avery and they kind of spend a lot of the time winding each other up and we learn a few of these times in their little arguments but things backfire when Avery fires her. Charlie can't quite believe it and tries to make amends for some of the stuff she's done and in a spur of the moment thing, they end up kissing. And then more.
I got pulled into this early on. I loved their banter and how they quickly fell into their attraction and lust when they finally thought about how their antics had been a sort of flirting, annoying each other to get a fiery reaction.
I loved these two characters. Charlie was a bit of a wild card and Avery was a straight-laced guy. They were pretty much polar opposites but together they were great. It was hot and passionate and fun.
This author is definitely one I'm enjoying reading and will be keeping an eye out for more of her books in the future.
