Blog Tour - Veer (A Clayton Falls Novel) by Alyssa Rose Ivy




Veer (A Clayton Falls Novel)


Only when you let go can you learn to live.

Between the death of her mother and pushing through law school without her best friend, it's been a tough year for Becca. Needing a break from Boston, she moves to a tiny coastal North Carolina town for a relaxing summer. After bumping heads repeatedly with a local cop, she realizes her summer will be anything but quiet.

Three years after a career ending injury ruins his chance to play Major League Baseball, Gavin has a distrust of northerners and lately girls in general. He wants nothing to do with a girl who is only in town for the summer.

When the two give in to their impossible attraction, they realize that they may just have found the key to freeing themselves from the ghosts of their pasts.

Review: 4.5 Stars


I absolutely loved Veer!  From the moment I started reading, I was hooked.  The main characters Becca and Gavin have amazing chemistry.  They may start off on the wrong foot but they make up for it in the end. I loved the alternating POVs Ivy used.

There was the perfect mixture of drama, romance, friendship and passion to keep me interested.  Highly recommend this one!!

Blog Tour - Broken (This Trilogy) J.B. McGee







Gabby's life has been anything but easy. She is surrounded by friends who seem to have everything she doesn't: money, social standing, and happily married parents. While dealing with the loss of her mother, she experiences her first heartbreak. She commits herself to her studies and runs away from any emotions that aren't safe. Bradley Banks, a confident CEO and commercial architect, who has long time commitment issues forces Gabby to feel again, but will he be her next heartbreak?



Review: 3.5 stars

Broken is an emotional story about learning to love and trust after you have been broken.  Gabby is a young college student who has gone through heartbreak.  She has built up walls in hopes to numb the pain of her past.  Nothing seems to go her way...  Then she meets Bradley at a wedding.  It was instant chemistry.  The rest of the book is about Gabby trying to accept a loving relationship with Bradley.  

"You make me greedy for you.  I just can't get enough.  I wish you would just accept it for what it is and trust me."

This was a great story line.  I really enjoyed the dynamic between Gabby and Bradley.  Although I understood what Gabby went through in her past, I did get a little tired of her insecurities. That being said, it was a good story and I look forward to reading Book 2 in This Trilogy.
