All I Want (Alabama Summer, #2) by J. Daniels


Luke Evans is a heartbreaker.

I didn’t want to give mine to him. Not when he kept me out.

He gave me enough, just enough to make me fall in love with him. I say this to convince myself. But I know the truth.

I would’ve fallen in love with him at a distance.

Handing my heart over to Luke was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. I was naive when I wished for more, when I hoped he wanted the same things I did.

I try to hate him. I try to forget him.

But it’s not that easy.

Love is a ruthless bitch, and I’m her latest victim.

Tessa Kelly is a man-eater.

When she sets her sights on you, she doesn’t just consume your heart, she goes for your soul.

What we had was perfect, real, and all I would ever want.

But she destroyed it.

She destroyed us.

I try to hate her. I try to forget her.

But it’s not that easy.

Love is for people who have hope, and I have none


4 Luke and Tessa Stars

I love Jessica Daniel’s reads, they are fun, light and very romantic. I’m also starting to love the Alabama series.

We got a tiny glimpse of Luke and Tessa’s story from the previous book, but you do not need to read the first book to understand this one.  We know Luke and Tessa dated briefly.  Tessa got a pregnancy scare and instead of confronting Luke about it, she simply asked him what he thought about having a baby. Luke said he wasn’t ready for a baby. This prompted Tessa to leave Luke, thinking he would never have a family with Tessa.  It’s a silly break-up, but it’s the start of the book.

I like the banter between Luke and Tessa. I’m a big fan of when the hero and heroine fight with each other. It adds so much tension and cuteness.  Luke and Tessa have been separated for a year but with Mia’s pregnancy and Mia’s baby coming, Luke and Tessa are interacting more.

Tessa doesn’t want to be single and she’s ready for a serious relationship. She goes on-line and tries to find someone. Luke isn’t happy with that idea Tessa meeting strangers from on-line. This creates a lot of friction and juicy scenes.


A good part of the issues between Luke and Tessa is because of the pregnancy scare, but it’s not a focal point. Luke is very guarded and it makes it difficult for Tessa to take him seriously.

The flow of All I Want is great and it’s an easy read. I like how Tessa tries really hard to move past Luke by dating other people and I like how jealous Luke gets. Of course we still get a little bit of Ben, Mia and Reed. Oh let me say, I can’t wait for Reed’s story, which is next.

Overall, if you are a fan of the series and loved Mia and Ben’s story, then you will not be disappointed with Luke and Tessa.

Finding Dandelion (Dearest, #2) by Lex Martin

Finding Dandelion (Dearest, #2)Finding Dandelion by Lex Martin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Happy Dani Stars

Lex Martini is slowly making her way on my favorite author list. If you are looking for a sweet, fast and easy read, then Finding Dandelion is for you.

Summary

Jax and Dani are completely opposites. Jax is rich and a player. He doesn’t answer to anyone but himself. Dani just got out of a relationship and created a bucket list of things to do to get her back on track. She got a tattoo and now she wants a one night stand.

Jax and Dani meet. It was meant to be a one night thing, but somehow their social circles collide.

Dani

I like Dani. I wanted to be her friend. I also have this thing with heroines and lists. Call me crazy, but I’m obsessed with a bucket list. It wasn’t the focal point of the read, but it was cute. I liked how her ex made her rethink her love life. I also loved she wanted a one night stand, even though the idea of it makes her sick.

Jax

I have this thing with Heroes name Jax, let’s just say I haven’t been disappointed. Jax is the spoiled trust fund kid. We got a little glimpse of him in Finding Clementine and I have to say, he wasn’t my favorite character, but after reading Finding Dandelion, you will love him. He’s a player, but he’s too sexy to not love.

Overall

Dani is very insecure with herself because of her ex. Jax and Dani meet a club and have a crazy make-out session. They are about to move to the next level, but get separated. Dani thinks Jax left her for another woman. It’s a slight miscommunication, but it makes for such a great read! Because days later, Dani realizes Jax is Clementine’s brother and Clementine is Dani’s suitemate. Oh the drama.

Finding Dandelion is lighter than Finding Clementine, but the heroes are completely different. As much as I love Gavin, oh Jax, he will put you through the ringer. There’s so much tension and push back on Dani’s part, you will be rooting for them to get together!

Overall, it’s a cute read and I was consumed from page one. If you like the series, you will not be disappointed.
