match me if you can by susan elizabeth phillips

recommended: this book was amazing! yes, it was a romance novel, but it was not your typical romance. this is the first book i've read of this author, and i love her. she can really write characters and make you understand them. everyone has baggage, and she is opens up each character to their baggage and how each person must deal with their own baggage, especially before going into a relationship with another person who also has baggage. i love the way she writes, and i can't wait to read another one.

a kingdom of dreams by judith mcnaught

recommended: this book was great! i dont know if i would own it, but it was very entertaining with great character development. i especially loved that it was set in scotland/england. they are at war with each other, and the daughter of the scotland lord is captured by the english. she is a very stubborn and headstrong character, which i love, and the plot does not disappoint. it kept my interest the whole time, and i would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a good romance.

crescendo by becca fitzpatrick

recommended: this is the sequel to hush, hush, and it did not disappoint. it kept its dark, mysterious fantasy feel. the main character struggles to understand her own past and ends up in more dangerous situations. she struggles with her new relationship with a guardian angel and trying to understand how her father was murdered. it was definitely an in-between book because it ended rather abruptly, and i am very interested in how this story is going to continue.

torment by lauren kate

recommended: this is the sequel to fallen so it was worth reading, but i did not enjoy it as much as the first. i understand what the author was trying to do. the title is torment, so the main character as well as the reader is tormented throughout the book, but i thought that she could have revealed more creativity or details in the storyline. i was surprised by the ending and enjoyed it because it was not expected and finally let the main character and reader breathe from the torment. i still believe that she is a good author, and i will definitely read the third book.
