Lesson: If you pull away from a guy that other women throw themselves at, it will drive him nuts and he’ll want to help you.

Lesson: If you get yourself arrested and need help, make sure the warden is a family friend and that you have the help of an investigative journalist and a crime syndication leader.
Main Thought: The beginning was slow until he escaped, then I couldn’t put it down. It was extremely unrealistic which kind of took away from it slightly.

Warning: murder, kidnapping

Lesson: If you want a mate that will do anything to keep you happy and healthy, get abducted by aliens and get dropped on a random planet.
Main Thought: I read this because of the Kindle Booktok Challenge and because @mrsshaholz loved it so much. While I’m not normally into SciFi this was really good and I want to read more books in the series.

Lesson: The best way to get a guy’s attention is to make copies of his house key without his knowledge.
Main Thought: After reading Wrong, I wanted to read this for Everly’s story. Everly is definitely entertaining since you never know what she is going to do next. The beginning was back and forth between the present and when she was growing up, but it wasn’t difficult to follow.

Everly has had a crush on Finn since she was six years old. She is constantly scheming to try to get him to notice her as more than his best friend’s younger sister. However, her schemes rarely go according to her plan and the Thanksgiving scheme ends with her in the car with Finn’s brother, Sawyer, heading back to Philadelphia. While Everly thinks Finn is the perfect man for her, Sawyer is convinced that he is the perfect man for her. Will Sawyer be able to win her heart? Will Everly ever give up on Finn?

Lesson: When you see a new doctor, make sure he is the type to become overly protective of you so that he’ll break up with your boyfriend for you.
Main Thought: I wish it was a double POV since there were multiple times where I was wondering what Luke was thinking. There were also some parts that were not concluded by the end of the book. I think Everly was one of my favorite characters and I’m excited to read her story next.

Sophie works at Grind Me, a local coffee shop while she’s finishing college. She has a crush on Luke who stops into the shop once a week for coffee. She decides to go to the school clinic for an exam to get birth control and figures out that Luke is a doctor, and apparently her new doctor.

Lesson: The best way to get someone’s attention is in a bathroom stall at a club.
Main Thought: At the beginning I did not like Jaxson, but once he opens up to Dante, you start to feel badly for him. The story was difficult to deal with at times because unfortunately some of these events still happen today. Overall, I really enjoyed the book.
