Review / Release Blitz: Powerful (The Driven World) by Kathleen Kelly

Kathleen Kelly's Powerful is a second chance romance written in K. Bromberg's Driven World!
LOVE
THE POWER TO BIND
OR DESTROY


Kris Livingston is a Hollywood heart throb, A-Grade actor, riding the crest of success.

Living his cozy life in Los Angeles, he's surrounded by glitz and glamor, as far away from me and our sleepy seaside village as he can get.

Now, he's returned home with his brand-new film star girlfriend, to be the best man in my brother's wedding.

Kris broke my heart the day he left, without so much as a goodbye and I never got over him. I know he's not mine anymore and if he knew my deep dark secrets, he'd never look at me the same.

The chemistry between us is still there. But it's been years, maybe too many and I'm not the same naïve girl anymore.

Can love be reignited the second time around or will our pasts be too powerful to overcome?

MY REVIEW
Athena's not ready to face her ex, but she has no choice. He's her brother's best friend and best man, so he's coming home to be in her brother's wedding. Thank God for her best friend, who agrees to be her fake boyfriend so she can save face when Kris and his plastic girlfriend show up.

Kris may have moved on from missing Athena (or so he thinks), but that doesn't mean the sight of her doesn't make his heart miss a few beats. Will his stay in their hometown make him feel like he never should have left? Will Athena give him the second chance it seems his heart wants?

I'm a bit torn about how to rate Powerful. On one hand, I like the world Powerful presented and found the story entertaining. On the other hand, I failed to sense a strong connection between Athena and Kris, and I hated how easily she forgave him and gave him a second chance. I wanted him to GROVEL his ass off, feel at least half the pain she felt when he ghosted her. But nope. And he had the nerve to show up with a girlfriend, a very unpleasant girlfriend at that. If he had really respected her and his best friend, he would not have shown up with a woman he knew would be ridiculously rude, wouldn't have shown up with another woman at all. Sigh...still, I basically liked Powerful, and it's well-written, so 3.5 stars seems to be as fair as I can rate it.

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...
