Review: JOCK (Boston Terriers Book 5) by Jacob Chance

Review of JOCK (Boston Terriers Book 5) by Jacob Chance



When Owen Dawson is suspended from Boston U's football team, then attacked afterward, he is naturally a little down on life. Until he meets the cute girl who's going to tutor him while he catches up with the schoolwork he missed out on while in the hospital. Eliza has the wrong idea about Owen. She figures he is the typical cocky manwhore football player that all jocks are. Until she starts tutoring him and finds out he's actually a sweetheart with a huge heart. As the two fall effortlessly into first friendship, then more, I was cheering them on because they were so cute together.


But Eliza had more than one secret she hadn't let Owen in on and I was cringing because I knew when the bombshells were dropped on him, he wasn't going to react well, and he didn't. But it was understandable, because Eliza's secrets were pretty big, and significant to him in unpleasant ways, especially her last secret. I honestly wanted to shake her for not owning up to things much earlier in their relationship, but I could also understand her perspective, so I was torn. Luckily for her, Owen was more understanding than the average 21-year-old male, and he loved her, so he was able to get past her secrets.


I've been lucky lately with the New Adult stuff I've been reading because this is the second one that I've loved, that is full of depth and heart and wonderful characters. Owen and Eliza and all the secondary cast, are amazing, especially Owen! The man is so damn swoony that it was hard to remember how young he was. I love how gently and patiently he wooed Eliza, and how completely understanding he was. Yes, he reacted pretty badly to her secrets, but he could have reacted much worse and she honestly would have deserved it for keeping such huge things from him. He really is one of the best heroes I've read lately. I haven't read any of the other stories in the Boston Terriers series, but I plan to now that I've fallen in love with Owen and his friends!

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
