Review: I Hate You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Review: I Hate You by Ilsa Madden-Mills


I HATE YOU

Charisma (Charm) has to brace herself when she sees HIM again. Him. Blaze. The guy she hates. The PLAYER who dumped her at a party in front of everyone, broke her heart, and has since moved on. Ouch...

"Beautiful men with enough charm to win over a nun are trouble. That's why I pick the nice quiet ones; it's why I have my rules."

Charm knew better than to let herself get involved with a player, football or otherwise. Beautiful playboys like him and short, curvy nerd girls like her don't belong together. She has her rules for a reason, and it's men like Blaze who are the reason for those rules. Still, her body can't help but want him even as her mind and her heart reject the idea of even being near him. But when she starts to see a different side of Blaze, the side she knew existed, but wasn't allowed to touch, that heart of hers isn't about to let her off the hook. Can they make it work this time? Perhaps. If they can both work through their individual insecurities (and there are A LOT of them!) and trust in each other.

"She's so smart, Bright and beautiful, like a flame."
I am so in love with Ilsa's college romances! Charm and Blaze - they're fire together. She's so intelligent and vibrant, with insecurities like most women have. And Blaze is a revelation. So deep and substantial, with insecurities probably even more massive than Charm's. God, these two are just perfect for each other! If you like your college romances with hefty doses of heart with some angst thrown in, I highly recommend you 1-click your own copy of I Hate You. Trust me, you will not regret it!

"I love you, Charm," I say softly. Because once you know a girl sees you for the man you are, once you know she's never leaving, she wants you forever, and she'll take a chance on you, it's easy to let the words out."

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...

Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
