Review / Release Blitz: All In (The Kings of Kroydon Hills #1) by Bella Matthews

Release Date: November 24
We might be the Kings of Kroydon Hills, but she is football royalty.

Natalie Sinclair came into my world and changed my life.

Her father was the new professional coach in town, and her twin brother played on my team.

This tiny dancer fit into our circle of friends like she was the missing piece.

She may not have thought she wanted a relationship with a football player, but that was before me.

I’m Brady Ryan. Captain and one of the top quarterbacks in the country.
Once I decided she was mine, nothing was going to keep me from her.
Not her twin brother.
Not a jealous ex.
Not even myself.

MY REVIEW
Brady takes one look at his best friend/teammate's sister, Natalie, and he knows without a doubt he wants her. He also knows he can't have her. Why? Well, she's off limits, as Cooper has stated. She's football royalty in their town. And she's only 17. But can Brady keep his hands off her? That's a question he continually asks himself, along with why he can't stop thinking about her. He's supposed to be focusing on football, not on his best friend's sprite of a sister.

Natalie's finally living with her dad and twin brother and she's at a crossroads. Dancing no longer fulfills her. She doesn't even want it for her future any longer. She knows her dad is going to be upset, but she's going to live her life for her, not for her parents. Will her dad support her? What about her brother? Will Coop support her, or be disappointed like their dad? And what about her new attraction to his best friend? How will he react to that?

Sometimes New Adult/Young Adult fiction is too whiney and emo for my tastes, but All In is not like that. Sure, there's some angst, a little drama, but they behave like fairly mature, non-whiney teens, and don't act as if the world revolves around themselves solely. Natalie and Brady are both such great characters and once they get together, are even better. I loved them together and their story. The 4 stars rather than 5 is only because I felt the ending was a little incomplete and a tad rushed. Everything else is well-written and the characters are amazing, though. The secondary cast is just as interesting as Brady and Natalie and I can see a really entertaining series coming with all their stories.

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...
