Maybe that was okay. Because his expression gave me the answer I was searching for. He was looking at me the way Luke looked at Meg. It was the way Nate looked at Francesca, and the way Adam looked at Julia.

I had zero experience with this whatsoever, but if I had to guess, I'd say he was looking at me like he wanted to kiss me. I was a fortunate coincidence because--to my surprise--I wanted to kiss him, too.

The way the flames danced across his face, illuminating his features in their soft glow, made my insides swirl. His eyes were such a startling shade of blue, his cheekbones so perfectly sculpted. His lips looked soft, and his hair was adorably tousled. I thought I knew how the princess in my book felt when a spell had been cast, causing her to find the prince absolutely irresistible.

Without thinking more about it, I pressed up on my toes, slid my hands into his hair, and tilted his face toward mine.

The kiss started slow, tentative, but then Leo decided to take control of the situation. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me closer. The sizzle I'd felt earlier returned, sliding through my veins and burning away what might have been left of my hesitation.

When the kiss finally came to an end, I rested my forehead against his chest. An unfamiliar, deliciously sweet longing echoed through my body.

My knees were so weak, I appreciated the way his arms were around me, helping me to stay upright. I also wasn't sure if he'd kissed me back because it had been a reflex or something? What if...What if he only kissed me because he knew it was on my list? My zero experience could've caused me to read him all wrong.

He slid his fingers under my chin, forcing me to raise my eyes and look at him. What I saw was the same look I'd seen before. When e lowered his mouth to mine and kissed me again, I knew that everything was alright.

It was more than all right.

It was freaking amazing.

But what was I doing? Leo liked me, a lot, apparently. Did I like him? Or was I simply caught up in the moment? I didn't know. I could only hope my impulsiveness didn't come back to haunt me. But right now? All that mattered was that Leo continued to kiss me.

And I didn't want him to stop.

The Rules of Rebellion Review

The Rules of Rebellion by Amity Hope

1. Skinny dip (her idea)
2. Stargaze (his idea)
3. Prank someone (her idea)
4. Go on a date (his idea)

Leo Zimmerman has had a crush on his curvy friend Kylie Jenkins since forever, so when he discovers the girl with a flair for candy making has a newfound plan to rebel against her overbearing parents, he’s determined to be the one to help her carry it out. Who better than himself to show her the ropes of letting loose?

Sure, taking her to her first high school party, helping her sneak out of the house, or watching a sunset together isn’t exactly a hardship, but much harder is masking his feelings the more time they spend together. And when he suggests adding “a first date” to Kylie’s plan and she accepts…suddenly all his dreams seem to be coming true.

But Leo’s got a secret that could change everything between them, and it’s only a matter of time before it comes to the surface.

First thoughts

I had already read "The Rules of Persuasion" by Amity Hope so I thought I'd read this one. Entangles teen books are always so good and have you hooked right from the start. This one was no different, I was wanting to read from start to finish in one day but, I slowed it down so I could have time to analyze what I was reading. So here's my honest review of this book.

Review

The first thing I liked is that the authour brought in/ incorporated the characters from her other book into this one. I took me a little while to realize that but once I did, I liked it. The other thing I liked was the fact that the emotion felt so real to me. And you know I really appreciate an authour who can create characters who connect to the readers.

The one part I didn't like is there could've been more swoon-worthy scenes and the character could've been described a bit more, but that's just my opinion.

Overall this is a great book to read for all the feels and some swoons. I would recommend this book to someone whos looking for a light read.

Rating

This book is suitable for YA readers ages 12 and up!

Love in the Friendzone Review

Love in the Friendzone by Molly E. Lee

The only thing worse than not being able to tell your best friend you’re head over heels in love with him? Having to smile and nod when he enlists your help to ensnare the girl of his dreams.

Braylen didn’t even want to go to Lennon Pryor’s epic graduation-night party, but when Fynn begs her to be his “wingwoman,” she can’t deny him. Talking up her BFF—how he’s magic behind a camera, with a killer sense of humour and eyelashes that frame the most gorgeous blue eyes in the history of forever—is easy. Supporting his efforts to woo someone so completely wrong for him? Not so much.

Fynn knows that grad night is his last shot before leaving for college to find true love. And thanks to Bray, he gets his chance with the beautiful Katy Evans. But over the course of the coolest party of their high school careers, he starts to see that perhaps what he really wants has been in front of him all along. Bray’s been his best friend since kindergarten, though, and he’d rather have her in his life as a friend than not at all.

Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains one epic party, complete with every high-schoolers-gone-bad shenanigan, and two best friends whose sexual chemistry is off the charts...if only they’d succumb to it. 

First Thoughts

This book sounded so good I just had to read it! It sounded like such a tragic love story, one-sided love. And when I started reading, I was automatically hooked. Now you know I love books that pull you in so hard, that they make you feel like you're the character, and this is defiantly one of them. So here's my honest review of this book.

Review

This is such an emotional book, from both viewpoints, you could see what Bray thought about something or the way she felt, and then you got to see/understand what Fynn thought or why he did it. Because you get to see both viewpoints it adds another bucket full of emotion, because you can tell what their both feeling and you just want to change it.

The one problem I had was with the character development, their appearances weren't described enough for me to picture them. There were some moments when other characters talked about the hair or eyes of someone else but that was all I got. 

Overall this book is so amazing! It has the emotional rollercoaster, the swoon-worthy moments, and the scream-your-head-off-because-they're-doing-the-wrong-thing-moments. I would defiantly recommend this book.
