REVIEW: THE REBEL'S RETURN (RED RIVER) BY VICTORIA JAMES
The Rebel's Return by Victoria JamesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
How do you move forward when the past grabs hold of your present? The Rebel's Return puts it all out there. Love, lust, loss and regret are major stepping stones on Aiden and Natalia's path to forgiveness. Both are rebels with something to prove. Nat wants her family's approval and respect on her own terms. Aiden longs for respect and wants to move on from his reckless youth. The way people see us is how we perceive ourselves to be. The key is to not let negativity shape who we are. With The Rebel's Return, Ms. James crafted a story of maturity and hard faced lessons that are contemplative and motivating.

Mackenzie Cox has a lot to prove. Daughter of a racing legend, she is eager to show the world that she has inherited her father's talent in the male-dominated sport of professional motorcycle racing.

Extreme sports are a big draw to sports enthusiasts. The adrenaline rush, expensive machines and death defying stunts are breathtaking. Furious Rush captures all the thrills of this risky sport and goes one step further by mixing in the most heart stopping adventure of all. Falling in love. Kenzie's adventurous spirit leads her down some treacherous roads and some spotty choices. Hayden is a bad boy with a need for speed and the heart of a champion. Kenzie was a lot of fun, she was sassy when she had to be, brutal when necessary but her choices were always her own and that makes for a strong and remarkable main character.

REVIEW: ALWAYS THE ONE BY C.C. MONROE
Always the One by C.C. MonroeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
There are different phases to every relationship. How can a simple four letter word cause misunderstanding and hurt? Always the One gets down in the trenches and delivers what LOVE really means. It's not always sunshine and waterfalls. Love is about looking beyond the exterior and getting to know all pieces even the dark and hurtful ones. I applaud Ms. Monroe for her gritty and at times toxic portrayal of all angles of the emotion. Trey and Shayla gave a collision course of wisdom on the matter.
