Review: For Lila, Forever by Winter Renshaw

Review of For Lila, Forever by Winter Renshaw


FOR LILA, FOREVER

When Lila's mother passes and she's sent to live with her grandparents on the island where they work, she certainly never expected to meet, and fall for, Thayer, the big boss' favorite grandson. She's unsure of Thayer and his motivations at first. On the surface he seems like a kind, if preppy and gorgeous, guy. But she's known guys like that her whole life, and they rarely end up being as good as Thayer seems to be. So she's naturally wary, and closes herself off at first. It doesn't help that the big boss warned her and her grandparents that she's not to get close to his grandchildren or all their jobs are on the line. Yep, he's a real piece of work...


But, young love is nothing if not persistent, and soon they're sneaking around and falling in love like 18 and 19-year-olds tend to do. But Thayer's set to return to college in a few weeks and Lila's only future is still on this island. Can they survive the long distance and the time? And what happens when Thayer comes back home next summer and Lila and her grandparents are gone, without a word? Will Thayer spend the next 10 years looking for his soulmate or forget her as the time goes by? What of the huge secret Lila's keeping and CANNOT reveal or she'll lose everything?


I was surprised at how sweet For Lila, Forever was, at how sweet Thayer was. I'm used to Winter Renshaw's more alphahole type heroes, so for Thayer to be so darn sweet and kind was a surprise, albeit a very good surprise. I didn't connect as much with Lila, as she just wasn't as developed, or perhaps, not as likable, as Thayer, but she and Thayer made a great couple. All in all, I'd call For Lila, Forever a sweet, poignant second chance, first love kind of romance. If this is your jam, I highly recommend you download your copy today.

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...

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings. Instead, I somehow ended up living in Evan Ricci’s house. The single dad now owned a bunch of properties and one of them was the place I’d rented. He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
