Riley's Book Reviews

 Summary: When Tate Collins meets pilot Miles Archer, she doesn't think it's love at first sight at all. They wouldn't even consider themselves friends. The only thing they have in common is a mutual attraction. Once they get to know each other more, they realize they have the perfect set-up. Since he doesn't want love and she doesn't have time for love. Their arrangement could be seamless as long as Tate can stick to the only 2 rules Miles has for her, which are never ask about the past, and don't expect a future. They thought they would be able to handle that, but quickly realize they can't. Love gets ugly.  After reading almost every single one of Colleen Hoover's books I can honestly say this is my favorite one. The storyline was truly amazing to read. This book was really intense and had soo much emotion that went into it that kept me hooked the entire time and had me wishing it would never end. The ending was such a turn of events which I think is

Sydney quickly becomes attracted to her neighbor Ridge. She can't take her eyes off him or stop listening to the way he plays his guitar on his balcony every day. Ridge becomes attracted to Sydney as well, and they both realize they need each other for more ways than they thing.  I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this book just from all the mixed reviews about it. I think there were a lot of parts to the book that were very relatable for people our age, which I think helped me like the book more. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster, as there were some funny parts but also some heartbreaking parts as well. All the ups and downs that Sydney had to

 Summary: This is the second book in the Hopeless series, and we finally learn the truth about Dean Holder. His life has been overshadowed by a lot of guilt, and he is haunted by the little girl he couldn't save from danger. He has continued to look for her, hoping that once he finds her it will bring him the peace he needs to move on. Holder couldn't even imagine the pain he would feel as he reconnects with her for the first time. He explains the events of Sky's childhood that affected him and his family. He can only love himself when he starts to love Sky.  Given this was the second book in the Hopeless series and I really liked the first one, I had a lot higher hopes for this one but it kind of disappointed me. Although it was still very good I think it was missing some parts. I feel like there was a lot of overlapping from Hopeless so I pretty much knew what was happening majority of the book. This book was just from Holder's perspective so I feel as if it wasn'

At times I thought it was very good, but I also thought it was missing something at some points. This book isn't re
