Review & Release Blast: Rock Star, Unbroken (Tragic Duet #2) by S.M. Shade

Tragic Duet #2
Release Date: January 23

I knew better and I let it happen anyway.

I was drawn in by her kindness and the way she sees into people. The way she looks through their motivations, their fears, into the heart of them where the good waits. One glance and she’s stripped away the layers we wrap ourselves in to keep from being unique.

She saw into me.

Then used it to her advantage.

Now, my son is in danger and if she’s behind it, there won’t be a hole deep enough for her to hide in.

I broke my own rules for Naomi.

My son will not pay the price.

MY REVIEW
When the unthinkable happens, Axton's world is once again turned on its head. Only now he's got someone to blame, and she's the woman he was starting to care for. Will Naomi and Axton ever be able to mend their relationship, or will she be just another reason Axton doesn't feel he's able to love or be loved?
I will say this conclusion was pretty intense, and I know I'm in the minority, but I didn't really enjoy it like I did the first part of the duet. Axton is, and I hate to say it because I know he is a damaged man from his past, but he is a complete and total asshole for about 90% of Rock Star, Unbroken. I know what Naomi did was wrong, but Axton took his anger and rage way too far, and the words he hurled at her were inexcusable. So he's the main reason for the 3.5 rather than 4 stars I could have given this.

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...
