BOOK BLURB
Growing up, Jude McCallister was the bane of my existence.

My best friend. Fiercest ally. The most annoying boy in the world.

At eighteen, the boy I loved to hate became the man I couldn’t live without.

We were young. Madly in love. Invincible.

Strong enough to weather any storm.

Cocky enough to believe that no amount of time or distance could destroy us.

When Jude finally returned home from overseas, it should have been cause for celebration. But the man I’d fallen in love with was gone, and in his place was someone I no longer recognized.

MY REVIEW
Once Jude and Lila were best friends, then more, so much more. But when he came back from deployment, he wasn't the same Jude she loved. He suffered from PTSD, he started drinking, and he was so distant, she didn't know what to do. Then he walked away. And a lot has happened in the 6 years since he's been gone. Now he's back, though, and wants his chance at redemption, forgiveness, and time to work his way back into her heart.
The thing is, he's never left her heart. What isn't there anymore is trust. Jude broke every single promise he ever made to her when he ghosted her, and she's just not sure if her heart can take more hurt. Oh and there's the little (HUGE) matter that she isn't just a single package any more. She has someone who is the most important person in her world, in her heart. And this someone is someone she'll protect til her last breath. Jude cannot come in and mess with that. And if he can't accept the circumstances that brought this person into her world, then there's absolutely no chance for them.

Is a second chance in the works for these two? Will Jude get the redemption he so desperately wants?

Wow, this one is a bit of a heartbreaker. I loved parts of it, parts of it not so much. What I loved: Lila - she's strong and sweet and a survivor. Noah - adorable! Brody - he's the best friend we all want, even if he seemed to stand in the way of a second chance for Lila and Jude. What I didn't like so much: Jude - he's got a lot of freaking nerve strolling in after 6 years wanting a second chance, and mad at her for what happened AFTER he left her. He lost his right to her when he left. Period. End of. Really he's the only thing I didn't like. Everything else about this angsty, emotional story is fabulous - it's sexy, the chemistry is hot, and I loved that Lila and her first love finally got their happiness, even if it happened to be Jude she loved. I really like the world Emery has created and can't wait for the next story. I hope it's Brody's because he deserves happiness.

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...
