Bad Boy Rockers Books 1-3 by Lexi Buchanan

So I will say that these three books are all...well, they were books. This is the first I've read of Lexi Buchanans books and I don't know where I stand on liking them or not right about now. I think that the storylines on all three books are good in theory but I seem to have a lot of issues with the books too. I wanted to like them, the descriptions on each book is what actually interested me. Normally I would never read a book series titled like this because seems super tacky to me and the books are normally just as tacky as the title. I can't decide weather I found these books incredibly annoying or if I might have actually liked them a little bit.



The most annoying thing that all three of these books have in common is how fast it all is for them to suddenly fall in love. You know those teenagers that start dating and a week later they're all "I love you so friggin much baby. Like, for real."? Well, that's how these books are. It's really annoying. I guess the third book is a little different because those two had known eachother for longer than the others. I liked the male characters for the most part but the female characters seemed annoying and whiney to me. Mara I liked though, she's the female protagonist in the third book.

Book 1 - 2 Stars
Book 2 - 2 Stars
Book 3 - 3 Stars
In all honesty, I just finished reading these books and I've already forgotten a hell of a lot about them. Including the name of the books and the names of most of the characters. That's not a good sign. Really good books tend to stay with you. Says a lot about this series. Huh. I guess this means I didn't really like them. Still confused though.

Corrupt by Penelope Douglas

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS. YES, YES, YES!!!! 

Can I just say that I would love to have a personal Penelope Douglas to lock in my basement so that she could just write me books to read all the time? Yes, I know that sounds really creepy. I blame the book, it's put my mind in creepy mode. I feel like Penelope Douglas is just one of those authors that gets me. I've been reading her books since Bully and I have every intention to keep reading her books as they come out. Because she's a fucking genius. Her books never disappoint. READ THEM ALL!!! READ ALL THE PENELOPE DOUGLAS BOOKS!!!! MWAHAHAH!!!!! They are as addictive as crack.



The other thing about Penelope Douglas is she really knows how to write a good Grade-A asshole. If you don't like that kind of thing, this book is probably not for you. I don't think a single guy in this book isn't an ass in one way or the other. Trevor, is the bad kind of asshole. Michael however, is the good kind. Believe it or not, there is a difference. Trevor has bad intentions and a black soul. Michael has semi-bad intentions, but is good at heart. Do you understand what I'm saying here?

I also really liked Erika, although I refused to call her Rika. Person preference, I just think it sounds odd. She was a strong female protagonist with a spunky attitude and confidence out the ying-yang. I liked Kai too. I really do hope he ends up with his own book so that I can read more about him. The whole book was sexy, fun, and thrilling. I was really surprised by the end! Huge plot twist and I love me a good plot twist. I didn't even see it coming and that says a lot because it's very easy for me to see where a book is going and what is going to happen. I liked that the whole book was crazy and kind of twisted. I would however recommend that the audience to read this be mature because of the content.



4.5 Stars!

Deal Breakers by Laura Lee

This Advanced Reading Copy was provided to me by the publishers in exchange for an honest review. 

Laura Lee writes fun, sexy, and humorous books that are good to read when you just seem to have too much time on your hands. That being said, this is her first contemporary romance so I wasn't sure what to expect going in. I have read her paranormal books, the Karli Lane series and I enjoyed those. Lucky enough, it seems like she knows what she is doing because I also liked this book, and I may just read the other books in the Dealing With Love series when they hit the shelves. You see when I think of authors switching genres I think of music. To me it can either go as good as Taylor Swift switching from country to pop, or as bad as Steven Tyler going from rock to country. Stick with Aerosmith. Me likey Aerosmith.



Deal Breakers starts out with two characters Riley and Devyn, Riley being the male and Devyn the female, and the book gives a few brief chapters on when they were in college together so we have an idea of what happened, how it happened, who went where, and so on. I would have really liked more on this time. I feel like it would really take the book to the next level if the readers could be able to further understand the strength of the bond Riley and Devyn had when they were in collegs even more. I did however like the charaters themselves. They were real people with real lifes. It's nice when you can feel like the charaters aren't perfect. My favorite character was Nathan! You just have to love a kid with a potty-mouth! Now that my friends, is real.

Overall I was left with a sense that the story could have been better developed. I feel like a lot got left out, especially in those college years. However the story was still enjoyable, and a good book to read when you have a few hours of down time. I love a good love triangle, so that made me super happy. What can I say? There are worse things than being adored by more that one man. Suck up the attention while you're still young and beautiful honey!

3 Stars.
