Because of Low

Title: Because of Low

Author: Abbi Glines

My Rating: 

Let it be known. I wish I had a best friend like Cage. That being said, I can continue on.

I am starting to find I really enjoy Abbi Glines. So much that I think she should right a story based off my life, it would be totally fiction because nothing fun happens to me. 

The thing I enjoyed most about this book isn't the relationship between Low and Marcus. There relationship was expected. Boy meets girl, boy isn't suppose to like girl, so of course boy NEEDS girl, boy gets girl, boy f**ks up, boy apologize, girl plays hard to get, boy gets forgiven, boy gets and keeps girl. Basic story line for contemporary novels. 

Low and Cage have the type of friendship that is unbreakable. They would not be who they are without each other. He is the Yin to her Yang and all that jazz. They sleep in the same bed but don't sleep together. He protects her and keeps her strong. She makes him self aware of his faults. I am a Cage groupie, but I am not blind. He might be selective but I must admit. CAGE IS A HOE.  There relationship is complex, so might think that she enables him, and he puts her on the back burner. He doesn't. Cage needs Low, he needs to know that she is there and won't judge him. He needs to have an anchor, someone safe. I refuse to believe he isn't aware she will NEVER marry him. So there is no way for him to worry about her falling in love with him. Cage is scared. Lo is like his night light in the dark. 

I enjoyed this read. Abbi Glines Through in the little twist with Low's sister and Marcus's dad, but I saw that coming as soon as we meet Low's niece.

Okay. I am reading this series out of order. Judgement not needed.

Stuck in a colorless world, Tyra Masters decides to chuck her old life and starts searching for something. She doesn’t know what it is until she meets her dream man. The goateed, tattooed, muscled, gravelly voiced motorcycle man who plies her with tequila and gives her the best sex of her life. But she knows it isn’t the tequila and sex talking. He’s it. He’s who she’s been daydreaming about since she could remember.

Until he makes it clear she isn’t who he’s looking for.

Tyra slinks away from his bed, humiliated. The problem is, he’s her new boss. She just may or may not have forgotten to tell him that part.

Kane “Tack” Allen has a rule. He doesn’t employ someone he’s slept with. And he lets Tyra know that in his motorcycle man way. Tyra fights for her job and wins it using sass and a technicality. Tack challenges her that if she hits his bed one more time, she loses her job.

Tyra is determined to keep her job and keep away from Tack. But she makes a big mistake. During their head-to-heads, she lets it all hang out and shows Tack she is who he’s looking for. And Tack has had a good woman slip through his fingers, he’s not about to let that happen again.

Although Tack colors Tyra’s world with a vibrancy that’s blinding, being with him means she has to live in his Motorcycle Club world. Full on, no holds barred. And since Tack’s world, not to mention Tack, is a little scary, Tyra isn’t so sure.

It's Tack's job to convince her.

Title: Because of Low

Author: Abbi Glines

Marcus Hardy had hoped to enjoy a year away at college while he put the summer he’d rather forget behind him. But instead, he’s jerked right back to the coastal town of Sea Breeze, Alabama due to a family crisis. His dear ol' dad found himself a girlfriend only a few years older than Marcus. So now his sister needs help dealing with their mother who is mentally falling apart. The only bright spot to returning is the fascinating red head who sleeps over several times a week. The problem is she's sleeping in bed with his new roommate, Cage York. 

Willow “Low” Foster needs a place to live. Running to Cage’s apartment every time her sister kicks her out isn’t exactly a long term solution. Juggling her courses at the local community college and a part time job doesn’t produce excess income. But Cage has a new roommate and suddenly sleeping over at her best friend’s apartment isn’t such a bad thing. Not when she gets to see those sexy green eyes of Marcus Hardy’s twinkle when he smiles at her like he wants her there. 
Even though Cage seems a little territorial where Low is concerned, Marcus finds time to spend with Low without upsetting his roommate. Cage may use his small college baseball star persona to sleep with every hot female in his path but he’s still under the disillusion that when he’s through sowing his wild oats, he’s going to marry Low. Marcus intends to change that assumption for both Cage and Low. Until his carefully laid plans come crashing down with a revelation he never expected. He’ll have to choose between Low or his family. Because once the truth comes out.... there’s no other choice.

Deity Book Review

Book: Deity

Author: Jennifer L. Arnentrout

Can we just take a moment for the awesome that is JLA? Well I am. This book was effing amazing! 

If you have ever read my review you know I have an obsession, that obsession is JLA. No I am not seeking help, I don't require an intervention and yes please, give me more! I am a fan of her writing her creativity and her wittiness! 

Through out the story she never lost Alex's ability to make an awkward situation hilarious! Alex does the things we want to do but lack the courage. She has such a strong personality that if it wasn't the the amazingness that is JLA I would of forgotten she is a 17 year old girl. Her ability to constantly remind us of Alex's adolescence is astounding! She is a girl with crushes and boy problems. Family she thinks doesn't like her and friends she feels are slipping from her grasp because of who she is. What can I say, we can relate.

Seth, oh I have so much hope for you. I don't believe that this is the true path Seth is meant to go on. I'm a total Seth fan girl, he just needs love. I think him and Alex would be good together. Someone that causes that fierce of emotions in someone, well lets say you care for them more then just a friend. She can relate to Seth on a level Aiden can't. They are part of the same. Alex was made to basically save Seth from his self. That sounds like the beginning of a epic love story. Of course with my luck it won't happen. *tear*

Aiden *sighs* oh Aiden. We learn so much about Aiden in this release, we finally hear what happen to his parents in detail. He opens up to Alex in a way he was scared to before.  OH EM GEE do they open up to each other. He also knows Alex without the help of being one in the same. I really like Aiden. He is strong where Alex is weak. Which could be a epic love story too, but not the one I want. I know I'm horrible, but I don't care.

Overall, this book made me drop off the face of the earth while I was reading it. I always had this driving need to drop what I was doing and read more! So of course this is a 5 STAR kind of read. Stop what your doing and go pick it up. I agree with everyone else when I say it is the  "IT" book of 2012.  

Now I patiently await Apollyon. Or not so patiently... I need it NOW!

I just finished....

I JUST FINISHED DEITY AND THIS IS MY REACTION.....

I might need a moment to process this....
