The Love Series by Melissa Collins (review)

This series is a must read. I gave every book 5 stars.. It is an uplifting true love story. The books follow the two main characters Maddy and Reid. It goes back and forth between the two perspectives (love this type of writing). It shows how no love is perfect and you have to work through your problems together to make it work. It also shows how no one is perfect and stuff happens. They meet and sparks fly and Reid gets scared, but they end up together anyhow. It also show everything after, like how they deal with have a child at an early age and getting comfortable in your own skin. It really is a great series and I would recommend it to everyone. I don't want to give away anything, but they go through every day problems that alot of us face everyday.
I have posted reviews on goodreads and amazon. There are way to many links to post. I have attached a link to the author's page.

Revenge, by J.J. Knight (Review)

I read an arc for the author. This is my first time reading anything from this author. I was impressed, because the book really kept me engaged the entire time and ended with me saying wtf just happened. There is a major cliff hanger,and this is 1 of 5 books. It seemed short to me, but I don't know if that was just me, plus I read in pdf format so I don't know how many pages there really were. I really liked the book, there are a ton of twists and turns, you will be saying what the heck. It follows a girl who moves to Cali from a small town (literally she lived on a farm), so there are alot for her to get used to. Well right off the bat she gets mugged while (flirting) with a guy playing music on the corner. They have an instant connection. She has no idea who he is or anything. They keep running into each other. She moved to Cali for a job at a music producing company. I can't give any spoilers so I will stop here. Just know that it will keep you guessing and I still have no idea what is going to happen in the next book. I gave it 4/5 stars in goodreads. I didn't give 5 stars only because it felt short to me. If it was on the story or the base of the story, I would give 5/5. The story line is great and new and fresh. I haven't read anything like it. I would recommend this to anyone that likes a story that is going to keep you guessing and rooting for the girl from a small town. Below is a link to my good reads review and a link to the authors facebook page and a link to purchase the book. Last time I seen, it was on sale...

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/855158514">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
This was a very interesting story with a major cliff hanger. At the end I was like huh, this is the end. It was good and I do want to read the next one to see what happens. It seemed short to me, but I don't know if that was because I read it in pdf format. That could have had something to do with it. The story follows a girl who just moved to Cali for a small town. She used to live on a farm. She meets this guy who is playing a guitar on the corner. They have a connection right off the bat. She starts her new job and just keeps running into this guy. There is some major twists ahead. I have no idea what is going to happen in the next book. Really good book.

Mangled Hearts by, Felicia Tatum (Review)

This book was great. It goes back and forth between present and past and goes between the two main characters perspective. Very unique and really like this format. Anyways it is about these people that meet in high school and a bunch of stuff happens and they lose touch. In the present Francesca is a lawyer and has to represent who else but her high school sweetheart Cade. The story unfolds and there is every indicator that Cade is a big time alcoholic.  In the beginning of the book you find out that Francesca  lost her sister in high school also. So it unfolds and you find out what really happened. So you have Francesca that was dealing with losing her sister and her high school sweet heart and you have Cade who is battling his issues as well. It is a great heart felt story with a really nice and sweet ending. I gave this book 5/5 stars on Goodreads. I really liked the story and it was very happy.

Just finished this book. Really enjoyed it. It goes back and forth from when two people met in high school and how they lost connection. They reunite. Every chapter goes back and forth from both of the main characters perspectives and goes from present to past. I really like the format of the book. Anyways something happens in high school to tear them apart and the book shows them getting to know each other again. It was a really cute story.

Taco Bell Sauces

So I got a box of Taco Bell Sauces from CrowdTap to try.
We got one bottle of Mild, Hot, Verde and Fire.
We used them on Super Bowl Sunday. We had some people over. We made nachos, with ground beef and sour cream and cheese and topped it off with taco bell sauce. We also served pizza and topped it off with Taco bell sauce.
They are great, I never knew they sold them at stores like this. It is so great, there are so many different things you can do with them to spice food up. I am working on looking up different recipies I can use them on. I have to give the Taco Bell Sauces 5/5 stars.
If you like spice and you like the sauces available at Taco bell go pick up a bottle or two. They are sold everywhere. I just seen them at Walmart.
Have fun!!
