Falling Into You by Jusinda Wilder 4.5/5



Falling Into You by Jusinda Wilder

Genre: Young Contemporary Romance

Sensuality : 9

I enjoyed reading this one a lot. Primarily because I am always curious about how authors approach family crisis. This author made it as realistic and raw as possible. Sometimes it kind of hurt to read this story, but I had to know what the character’s next step was.

Falling Into You is about two characters that experience great loss in their lives (a sibling and a boyfriend), and watching them both creep their way out of the pain of it all. I used the word ‘creep’ because it is the best way to describe their growth. They didn’t have a good cry then skip into the sunset. It was messy, sad and quite strenuous.

The chemistry between both main characters is very strong. And their flaws are real and relevant.
This is not an easy read. But it will be a memorable one.
I would recommend it for sure.

4.5/5

Happy reading

Forever Mine, by Elizabeth Reyes 4.5/5



Genre: Young Contemporary Romance

Sensuality: 8

The fact that I reread this book says a lot. Forever Mine was pleasantly enjoyable. It is a young adult novel that read like a classic contemporary romance. The author somehow managed to create a mature book that still expressed the classic teenage frustrations very well.

Forever Mine centers around Angel and Sarah. Sarah was forced to move to a new town due to problems at home. She moves in with her aunt and cousin and begins her final year of high school. Angel is one of the sports stars in his high school, and between him and Sarah sparks fly.
A couple of silly mistakes throughout the story caused a lot of unnecessary drama to unfold. However, the entertaining secondary characters more than made up for that. The story is extremely romantic and loving. You will probably end up rereading this one again too!

The other books in the series are not as good as this one in my opinion though. So proceed with caution.

Great read.
4.5/5
