If You Stay by Courtney Cole

Pax is a bad boy with a void he fills with booze, women and drugs. He's sexy and dangerous, every good girls dream or nightmare. He's a troubled soul with memories he's trying to forget. The truth will set you free, right? Or will they burn you to your core?

"He's gorgeous, and flawed and sexy. And i have no idea what I'm getting into." 

Mila is a ray of sunshine, everything good that a person can be is Mila. But she's got a past as well one she tries to cope with. She doesn't hide from it, she deals with it. 

So how did it all begin? Well it all starts on the night Pax and Mila meet. From there on nothing will ever be the same. Pax knows he's an asshole and he's accepted that. But Mila refuses to believe that. She knows deep down Pax can be fixed. Not for her, but for himself. 

"Are you trying to find some sort of reason that I've become such an asshole? The reason is...I'm an asshole. Period. Assholes are assholes. Rainbows are pretty. Kittens are cute. Chick flicks are sad. It's the way of things, no explanations."

But sometimes you can't keep the nightmares away and what happens when the truth comes out might break you beyond repair. 

"Because it's easier to fade out of reality than face it." 

So what do you do then? When you're broken and even the ones you love can't keep you together? 

"That's a travesty of life. Sometimes we hurt those that we love the most." 

If You Stay was such a great read. The drama, the love, the secrets and truths that are revealed. From the moment you begin this book ( the beginning will definitely have you blushing.) till the moment you put it down; it's simply amazing. Pax is a character that you feel for and Mila is one hell of a woman to love him. Love never fails and this book def shows that. When someone really loves you they'll never give up on you. 

Courtney Cole hit the nail with this one. I loveddddddd it. I hope you guys do too. 

Spoiler alert (not really a spoiler but I'll let you in on a secret) I cried at the end. Sue me. Lol. 

xx. Ohh

I know I didn't do New Music Tuesday, and today is Friday. But I have an artist that I want everyone to hear. His voice is the definition of perfect; his song Lay Me Down is literally on loop right now.

I will give you three songs with him on it. Let me know what you think.

Tangled by Emma Chase

"Women fall in love quicker than men. Easier and more often. But when guys fall? We go down harder. And when things go bad? when it's not us who ends it? We don't get to walk away. We crawl."  

Drew Evans has it all. He's gorgeous, young and successful. A smile from him and you're captured; enchanted by him. Known to seduce a woman by simply being him it's easy to see how he's gotten some of the most beautiful women in New York to fall for him and over him. But that all changes when Kate Brooks comes and turns his life up side down. 

Katherine Brooks is beautiful, intelligent, and a smart mouth sassy woman over all. She plays no games when it comes to her career and doesn't let anyone not even super sexy and irritatingly charming Drew Evans get in her way. 

Drew has never had to chase after anyone. 1. Because he always got chased and 2. Because no one was worth the chase until Kate Brooks. 

" She tastes...Jesus, i've never done drugs, but I imagine this is what that first snort of cocaine feels like, that first shot of heroine. Goddamn addictive. "  

But once he has a taste of Kate he can never get enough, but Drew is for lack of better words a dumbass! He's a guy after all and ladies we all know how dumb guys can really be. So what does he do to get Kate to believe him? To take him back? Well I'll tell you this much. The flu sucks but once you're better it's amazing. ;) 

This story was hilarious! I'm used to a story being told in the females POV so having one from a guy is always exciting and a hell of a lot funnier especially if the guy is as blunt as Drew. 

" Just so you know, men don't expect a woman to smell like winter pine or Niagara Falls or whatever the fuck those feminine products say. It's a pussy-it's supposed to smell like one. That's the fucking turn on. "  

LOL; this was such a great take on a love story. Prince Charming is just holding Cinderella down! Or at least that's what Drew thinks haha. It's a great read and the characters are amazing. It's the first book in the Tangled Series so I'm keeping my eyes open for the ones to come. 

I hope you guys read this book and fall for Drew Evans, aside from big an asshat at times he's really sweet and persistent. Totally makes Prince Charming look like a guy with a hairy vagina lol. 

xx. Ohh.

Movie Review Monday: Identity Thief

Identity Thief (2013)

Synopsis: An accounts representative embarks on a frantic quest to reclaim his identity from the Orlando thief who stole it and destroyed his credit by embarking on a massive spending spree in this comedy starring Jason Bateman (Arrested Development,Horrible Bosses) and Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids). Sandy Bigelow Patterson (Bateman) has a problem. A Denver family man who's always been responsible with his personal finances, he is shocked to learn that his credit score is in shambles. But it gets worse -- if he can't clear his name in a week, the mix-up could very well cost him his job. Fortunately Sandy is in luck; after the unrepentant Florida fraudster (McCarthy) who stole his identity causes a stir in a club and misses her court date, Sandy is arrested and promptly released when detectives request a mug shot, and realize their mistake. When the police refuse to offer any help, Sandy realizes that his only choice is to catch the impostor himself and bring her back to Denver to face justice. Unfortunately, this wily thief isn't going down without a fight, and with a grizzled skip tracer (Robert Patrick) and a pair of vicious gangsters (Génesis Rodríguez and T.I.) determined to get the fake Sandy first, every step along the way will be a struggle. (From Fandango) 

Tanisha's Review: I enjoyed this movie, even though it took me a while to get into it. It had great comedic moments, and awesome stunts. I'm glad the previews didn't give away all the good details. I still can't believe Melissa McCarthy is the same woman that played Sookie, she did great. This movie was also a good teaching tool, on how to protect yourself from identity theft. DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE (or internet). This movie didn't get the best reviews online, but hey, it's only your opinion that matters. 

I give this movie a 4 out of 5 stars.

New Music Tuesday

Welcome to New Music Tuesday! 

The Weeknd - Kiss Land

I'm not a fan of The Weeknd, but hey, I have to keep you guys updated with new music. This song isn't  too bad in general. The Weeknd has great vocals, which is always a plus. I recommend this song for when you're having "sexy-time". 

Carly Rae Jepsen - Take a Picture

I am a fan of Carly Rae Jepsen. But I don't understand why target her for the younger crowd when she's older than Lady Gaga. This song reminds me of the Coca-Cola commercial for some reason. It's a cute song for like Disney Channel, but I'm waiting for when the adult Carly comes out. 

But nice summer song.

Ke$ha - Crazy Kids (Feat. Pitbull)

I love GLITTER, Ke$ha loves GLITTER, we should be best friends. Okay, enough with my awkwardness. This is MY summer song. Ke$ha has flow, and if anybody denies that, they are tone deaf. I studied music for most of my life, I'm a pretty good judgement. 

Pitbull, who's on everything now and days, is great. He helps me brush up on my español (well him and Oriana). He's great as a feature, because doesn't over power the song, but at the same time, adding a little Latin flavor.

Movie Review Monday: Friends With Kids

Friends With Kids (2012)

Synopsis: Jennifer Westfeldt wrote, directed, and stars in the romantic comedy Friends With Kids. She plays Julie, a Manhattanite whose biological clock is about to run out, so she convinces her longtime platonic best friend, Jason (Adam Scott) to father a child with her.

They seem to have a much easier time juggling the responsibilities of new parenthood without the complication of being in a relationship with each other, which is in contrast to the two couples they are closest to. As their friends' marriages implode, Julie and Jason's happy equilibrium topples over as well when he falls for a hot young artist (Megan Fox) and she begins dating a successful businessman (Edward Burns). (From Fandango) 

Tanisha's Review: This movie was quite funny, but predictable. But I think that's what had me so into it. I have a crude sense of humor, so all the "vulgar" language did not bother me. Friends With Kids is that one film that is so bad, that it's great. I don't see it winning any Grammy's, but it's good for relaxing on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. 

Jennifer Westfield was a little awkward, I'll admit that. But this movie really depicts some of the struggles that comes with having children accurately. My favorite couple were the two that was also in Bridesmaids, hilarious. And my favorite part had to be the ending, but I won't ruin it for you. You'll just have to watch to find out. 

I give this movie a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Connected By Kim Karr, Review

This review is going to be a little different than usual. Since both Oriana and I read and thoroughly enjoyed Connected, we want to give you guys both perspectives of the book. 

Click here to visit Kim Karr's website, twitter and facebook. Be sure to tell her how much you love her book!

Tanisha's Review: 

“I feel like fate has brought us together again. I also believe that one night, so long ago, just wasn’t the right time for us. But tonight is.” 
― Kim Karr, Connected

When  I first started Connected I could not get into it, but I think it was because I had other activities going on. But once I was calm and relaxed, I fell in love with this book. One thing about Connected is nothing is predictable. NOTHING. Kim Karr knows  exactly how to throw you through some loops, and have you cursing out a fictional character. 

You know how everything happens for a reason? Well I think this book thrives on that statement. There is no way Dahlia and River can meet two times and not have a specific reasoning for it.

Dahlia London has had her streak of bad luck, but everything changed when she meets River Wilde for the second time. 

River Wilde is the perfect example of what a man should be (which is how we know this is fiction), and I know most women would agree with me. He's charming, honest, loyal and lovable. But let me not forget his looks. I would use adorable, enthralling, gorgeous, tantalizing, and mesmerizing to describe River Wilde. Just perfection.

I love how he healed her heart with just being his self, and showing how much he cares for her with his actions.

I'm not going to give away too much, but that cliff-hanger at the end...woah.

Thank you Kim Karr for being such a great writer!

-Tanisha (:

Oriana's Review:

Wow. Is the first thing I have to say. When I read Connected I was left mouth opened and angry!!! But you'll understand why once you read it. ;). 

So lets talk about River Wilde for a moment....perfection. That's what it all falls down too. River is amazing in every and yes ladies I mean everyyyyy sense if you catch my drift lol. But when Daliah first sets eyes on him danger is the only thing that her brain can drum up. But lord knows the danger wouldn't keep her from talking to him. 

Fate is a funny thing, see no matter what or who or where you are if it's fate you meet someone you will. But destiny, see destiny makes sure that even if the timing is bad you get another chance. 

When Dahlia is at her lowest destiny plays it's game and makes sure that River Wilde comes back into her life like lighting. Too fast to see it strike but the aftermath is a huge impact. 

"Something... no everything about him drew my attention."

This book has everything a good book needs. Love. Laughs. Drama. And the ONLY cliffhanger. I swear I have never cursed a character out until I read this book. I legit tweeted my hatred for a certain character and my friend had to ask me if I was ok lol. 

Read connected, fall in love with River and Dahlia but most importantly let it give you hope. Hope that when it's meant to be it will be.
