✯Release Review✯The Difference Between Somehow and Someway (Difference Trilogy #2) by Aly Martinez

The world gave me everything.
And then it took it all away.

The Difference Between Somehow and Someway, the second book in the moving and captivating The Difference Trilogy from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez is now live!

The world gave me everything.

After surviving a plane crash, I was lucky to be alive. It was a harsh truth, but one that changed my perspective on how fragile life could be.

So when a fellow survivor caught my eye, I owed it to myself to take a chance and follow my heart.

Bowen Michaels was guarded and broody, but I saw through his well-formed armor. Much like me, he was broken and lost, but together we found our way through the darkness.

For a brief moment, wrapped in his arms, it felt like maybe he was right about fate and we’d been destined to find each other all along.

But when buried secrets of the past erupt, igniting us both, it was hard to believe we’d been fated for anything other than failure.

The world gave me everything.
And then it took it all away.

✯✯5 Jaw Dropping Stars!!!✯✯

OMG WTF!!!! I’m not sure how I can find the exact words to write for this review. I legit have a love/hate relationship with Aly Martinez. As much as I love her character’s, stories I hate that she’s either having me ugly crying at 3am or I’m having a heart attack at 5am when I’ve finished her book and come to a WTF-cliffhanging ending. I knew that the first two books would have cliffhangers and I was prepared for them. The last one I was definitely shocked but then kinda happy for Bowen and Remi Bc I saw their Hea being more spectacular than I hoped. But, this cliffhanger left me with more with a massive kick to the gut LOL. 

I’m not trying to give anything away ESP since there’s still one more book left and OMG I’d hate to give anything away. So, here’s a condensed version if you can call it that. 

Bowen and Remi are continuing to get to know each other and falling in love. 

But, both of them are keeping secrets from each other. Remi doesn’t wanna see pity in Bowen’s eyes and Bowen Bc he’s afraid Remi won’t understand and he doesn’t want to loose her. 

Then there’s Sally. Even though she’s not here she’s still very much here. 

One night Remi finds something in Bowen’s house and she’s beyond shocked. It doesn’t make sense. She realizes that everybody in her life has been lying to her and she’s not sure that she can trust them to tell her the truth Bc she’s not sure if she’d trust them. 

Remi decides to take some time to herself to figure things out for herself. Bowen hates it but decides to not fight her and tells her he’ll wait for her no matter how long she takes. 

But, nothing is as it seems. Just when Remi thought she knew most of everything a monster decided to reveal its ugh face for the first time. Remi thought she was blindsided but she definitely didn’t see this one. 

OMG!!! I am so glad I don’t have to wait long to see what’s going to happen next LOL. I thought book one was good but man this was even better and even hotter!!! I gotta say as much as I am ready for the next book I’m also nervous Bc I don’t know where Aly Martinez is going to put Remi and Bowen thru before they get their HEA.

✯✯5 Tatum & Easton Filled Stars!!!✯✯

OMG I knew that when I was reading The End of Us that I needed more Easton!!! I’m so glad we got it Bc he’s everything. 

Easton owns the surf shop he works at. It’s his baby and he’s worked hard to make it the success it is today. When Tatum came in for an interview with interest in the empty second apartment above the shop Easton hired her. He was instantly attracted to her but being her boss he never crossed those lines. 

Tatum ran away from her her abusive husband the first chance she got. When she ended up in Florida she was glad to see a help wanted sign that had an apartment that was looking for somebody to rent it. She’s always thought Easton was good looking and nice but he’s younger than she is and she’s still not divorced yet. Even though her and Easton flirt that’s all it’s been. 

When Tatum’s ex show’s up at her job she’s forced to tell Easton about him. Easton promises to not tell him she’s here and that he’ll keep her safe when she thinks of running away again. That night they wake up to their apartments filled with smoke.  The surf shop was on fire and they both know who set it. 

Easton takes his gerbil and Tatum and go to his parents beach house. 

Since Easton and Tatum are stuck together in such close quarter’s until her ex is caught they start getting to really know each other. They realize that they like each other more and more every day. 

But, Easton knows what Tatum’s gone thru by the hands of her abusive ex so even though he can see it written all over Tatum that she wants him as much as he wants her he’s in no rush and can’t wait until she’s ready. 

Tatum wants Easton more everyday. Her sister is definitely team Easton as well.  She gets more comfortable with him everyday until she gives into what they both want and OMG these two were hot!

Tatum has only been with her husband since high school and she’s never been wined and dined. Easton decides to wine and dine her everyday showing her what she’s missed and what she’ll get everyday from him. Except by doing that their guards are down and Tatum’s ex shows he hasn’t been far away from them. 

This was such a good book! I couldn’t put it down. I loved it when Tatum’s sister Oakley or Piper were pushing them both to make a move. I’m sure they could be bestie’s LOL. 

I’m looking forward to seeing Oakley’s book Bc I wanna see her get her HEA.

✯Release Review✯The Seduction of Pretty Lies (The Boys of Clermont Bay #5) by Holly Renee

He was leaving regardless, and I couldn’t hang on tight enough for the both of us.

The Seduction of Pretty Lies, the first book of an all-new emotionally charged duet from Holly Renee is available now!

Devoted. Loyal. Shameless. The Boys of Clermont Bay had been my protectors for as long as I could remember.

And Olly Warner took the job to heart.

He was intense and all-consuming, and I had been in love with him for years.

Alarmingly handsome and recklessly charming, he attempted to deny there was ever anything between us.

But we slipped over that invisible line, and the moment we gave in, something fractured.

He was leaving regardless, and I couldn’t hang on tight enough for the both of us.

Olly had always been the boy I could never have, but I couldn’t help losing myself in him.

A searing affair, the guarantee of a broken heart, and the desperation of careless promises.

Olly and I were never meant to be, and we had become nothing more than a pretty lie.

✯✯5 Olly & Frankie Filled Stars!!!!✯✯ 

OMG I’ve been waiting for Frankie and Olly’s story since the beginning of this series!!! And, I’m telling you the wait for them ESP Olly was SO worth it. 

Frankie trusted the wrong guy a few years ago. Since then she feels like her brother and his friends look at her like she’s the girl who was assaulted and nothing more than that and she wants to move past that. ESP since Frankie wants Olly in way’s she knows her brother will never allow and she’s tired of waiting so she’s taking matters or Olly into her own hands. 

Olly has always had a crush on Frankie. Even before Lucas took advantage of her. Since then he’s super protective of her. Though the more time he spends with her the closer they’re becoming and the harder it is to not cross that line. His life at home with his parents aren’t too good and if he ever went for Frankie his best friend, her brother Beck would destroy him and Olly doesn’t wanna upset him. 

When Frankie finally lets Olly know that she wants him and doesn’t care about what her brother wants Olly gives into what they’ve both wanted for awhile. Except now that he’s had his taste of Frankie he doesn’t wanna stop at once. He’s just hoping Beck doesn’t find out. 

The first part of this duet is legit smoking, smoking hot!! Olly and Frankie are fire. Unlike the first two couples this first part doesn’t end with a cliffhanger that left me shocked and speechless Bc I didn’t see that coming. My heart was broken for these two Bc they really are best friends in love and yet Bc of other people they can’t be together and they are drowning. I’m hoping Olly and Frankie can find a way to get back together.

Excerpt

Prologue
Olly

Two Years Earlier

God, she was so pretty. 

I clenched my hand at my side to avoid reaching out and touching her. 

She was also too young for me and she was my best friend’s little sister, but neither of those things seemed to matter when I was looking at her. 

I was always looking at her, but she was looking at him. 

Lucas grinned at her from across the table, and a soft blush bloomed across her cheeks. He was one of my best friends too, but I wanted to kill him when he looked at her like that. My stomach hardened as I watched them. I knew I didn’t have the right. She wasn’t mine, but for some reason, she felt like it. 

She had felt like it for far longer than I liked to admit. 

“What are you up to today, Frankie?” 

She pulled her attention away from Lucas long enough to look over at me. “Not a whole lot. I thought I might go for a swim before the party tonight. You’re going, right?” 

“Yeah.” I nodded. “I’ll be there.” 

“Good.” She smiled at me as she leaned against her hand. “What about you, Lucas? Are you going to be there?” 

I clenched my teeth as I waited for his response. He always treated Frankie as if she wasn’t important. He treated her like she wasn’t the most important person in the room even though she looked at him like he was the most crucial thing in her life. 

“Of course.” He rubbed his hands together as he talked, but he was barely looking at her. “I need to get fucked up or laid tonight.” 

Frankie’s shoulder slumped the smallest bit, and she looked away before either of us could see her face. 

A face I knew she was attempting to school to hide her hurt. 

“Real classy, Lucas.” I rolled my eyes because even though I had been friends with Lucas for what felt like forever, I still didn’t see what Frankie saw in him. I was beginning to wonder why I was friends with him at all. “Come on, Frankie. Let’s go hit the beach before the party.”

“Okay.” She nodded and stood from her seat. “Let me grab my suit.” 

As soon as she left the kitchen, Lucas leaned back in his chair and chuckled. 

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” I glared at him. 

“What’s wrong with you?” He laughed harder. “You look like a lovesick puppy over Beck’s little sister when you can get any pussy you want in the entire school. Don’t let a piece of ass make you look so pathetic.” 

“Don’t fucking talk about her like that.” My pulse was racing as I clenched my fists at my sides. “You have no idea…” 

“What are you assholes talking about?” Beck interrupted us as he walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple off the island. 

“Trying to get Olly laid.” Lucas smirked, and my fingers tingled with the urge to knock it off his face. 

“It’s about damn time.” Beck wrapped an arm over my shoulder and laughed. “You’ve been a little tense.” 

“Fuck you both.” I shrugged Beck off me just as Frankie came back around the corner. She was wearing a simple black bikini, but I couldn’t look away. 

“Hey, you ready?” She held a towel against her stomach, and I watched as her eyes flashed over to Lucas before looking back at me. 

“Yeah. Let’s go.” I opened the back door and waited for her to walk through. This was Frankie’s house, but I felt like I knew it as well as my own. I practically lived here most days. Frankie walked in front of me, and I stared at the soft slope of her back as she pushed through the back gate and out onto the sand.
