Review: Just a Taste by Crystal Kaswell


JUST A TASTE

Good girl Meg (Megara) doesn't seem like the type to make a good fit for bad boy rockstar Miles. But when she tells him off and doesn't fall for his bs, he's hooked. Can he convince her a friends with benefits arrangement is something she should indulge in with him? Or will his lifestyle be a little much for the pre-med student?


I loved this story when I first read it from Meg's POV in Sing Your Heart Out, and reading it here from Miles' POV is even better. As far as rockstars go, Miles is really the perfect archetype - he's cocky, he's a manwhore, he's damaged, and he's battling an addiction. Could he be more cliché? Except he's not. He's actually quite interesting and substantial once Meg is able to scale past his outer douche layer. That's one of the things I love most about this story - that on the surface it is seemingly all very shallow and unoriginal. But Miles is much deeper than the average tortured rockstar, and Meg is the woman who sees beneath that flash and into the heart he tries to protect. I'm so glad that after all these years, Crystal finally decided to give us Miles' side of the story. It's just as sexy and emotional as Meg's POV, and the story hasn't lost any of its awesomeness this time around.

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...
