Review of Unconditional: Always 1 by Cherie Hudson



Maci Rowling is 20 and has Parkinson's Disease. She on to Australia on a college scholarship for environmental studies. Maci is from Plenty, Ohio. Maci traveled 19 hours to get to Australia. Upon her arrival, her luggage was lost, then she dropped her passport and knocked down an 80yr old man after he was picked it up for her. Maci saw herself as impulsive, sensitive, self-conscious, uncertain, and broken. While in the airport, Maci bumped into a gorgeous guy. On an impulse she kisses him. His name is Mr. Jones, but she nickname's Mr. Broad Shoulders. Photographers chase after him and refer to him as Raphael. Unbeknownst to Maci, Raphael's older sister married a crown prince, so he is considered a celebrity. Maci is staying at a dorm called MacAller House. Foreign Student Liaison Heather helps her get settled. Heather introduced Maci to Brandon Osmond, the Unit Fitness Manager. When she found out he had ALS, she felt safe with Brandon and admits she has Parkinson's. He helps her set up a fitness regiment to help control the Parkinson's. It turns out that Raphael has the room across from Maci.
Maci is a very intelligent girl, but doesn't feel she really has a future because of her disease. She tends to not let people in because of it. Brandon is attracted to Maci but is also very protective of her and tries to make her understand that she's not broken. Raphael appears to be the exact opposite of Brandon and runs hot and cold as far as Maci is concerned. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, Maci, and her journey to accepting and overcoming her outlook on her disease and the road she travels between Raphael and Brandon.

Review of The Rest of My Life by Sheryl Browne - 5 Stars!!

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Adam slept with Lisa, who was a married woman. Nathanial was Adam's only friend. Nathanial was the marina's manager. Sienna is renting a cottage with her best friend Lauren. Sienna had to re-edit her romance script. Sienna wasn't sure if she believed that love conquered all anymore. Even though he was a womanizer, Sienna was attracted to Adam. He was also attracted to her, but knew he should stay away. Sienna was naive as far as passionate experiences went and her ex-boyfriend made her question whether or not she was frigid. She was a kind, warm and loving person trying to get a little breathing room from her dad. She loved her dad and even understood.  I really loved her character and her defending of those she cared for. Adam had been messed up from a previous relationship and saw his ex-fiance's ghost a lot. He had affairs to take away the pain and loneliness and drank for the same reason. Howeve

Review of Ignited by Laurie Wetzel - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maddy was dating an angel, MJ. MJ is a protector who has broken a lot of rules, but some he had to keep. MJ told Maddy she was his heart and he would fight before he would let anyone take her. Maddy had some special powers of her own. The characters were good, especially Maddy, who was overwhelmed with powers she couldn't control and the love she couldn't state and MJ. The plot was good as was the overall story. It dragged a little bit, but overall a good story. I recommend, although I didn't like the ending.

Review: Her Wolf

Her Wolf by Rebecca Royce My rating: 4 of 5 stars Ashlee Morrison thinks she’s going crazy...again. She’s become a bit obsessed with a wolf who may or may not be talking to her. Tristan Kane is a shifter that has been stuck in his wolf form and trapped at a zoo. When he finally gets a real scent of a worker that he’s been keeping an eye on makes him realize that she’s actually his mate. Like with all of this author’s books, this was a really good story and I really loved all of the characters. I really felt for Ashlee as she basically had her world flipped upside down right from the beginning. The only thing that bothered me was that it felt rushed in some places where I would’ve liked it to not have been. Beyond that, I highly recommend this story and can’t wait to read more from this series. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews
