Review: Entice: A Novel by Ava Harrison


ENTICE: A NOVEL

When she was 12, Grayson saved River from making a choice that would have ruined a lot of lives, least of all her own. Now she's almost 21 and Grayson's back in her life. But this time, she's not a little girl anymore, and she wants the man who walked away from her that night with a piece of her heart. The question is, will Grayson be able to resist the beautiful woman River has become? Or will his reasons for keeping everyone at arm's length be too much for River to overcome?


Entice is for lack of a better word, touching. It really touched my heart in a way I was not expecting. I guess, given what I knew of this story, I was expecting forbidden lust, super hot and all that. What I got instead, was, yes, sexy, but also and more importantly, something a bit heart tugging. Grayson and River are an interesting couple with a lot of obstacles, well, one big obstacle and a smaller obstacle, in the way of them being together. I can't say that I completely was on board with them as a couple for about 3/4 of the story, but only because she is very young maturity wise, and Grayson is reticent for most of their story. But, by the time they finally came together, I could see them having a happy future together because they were able to convince me they really loved each other. I do wish they had truly gotten together a bit sooner in the story, but I also understand why Ava held them apart for most of the story, it was more realistic that way, as any couple with their obstacles would most likely be fighting things and having the push and pull that Grayson and River have. So, more realistic but slightly less satisfying for my tastes. All in all, though, I really liked Entice. It's a bit angsty, it's sexy, and it really touched my heart. These Price men are hot, can't wait for more of them!

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...
