Holy weeping tears of sadness and happiness Batman! I'm totally bawling. Forgotten Promises is honestly one of the best books I have EVER read. The talent of Ms. Brooks truly awes me and inspires me. So poignant and full of meaning, her stories just touch deep, way down to my heart. She brings it all: humor, sexiness, seriousness, goofiness, light-heartedness, heartbreak, and growth. If you're looking for an all-around fabulous story, you've found it. Amazing. Truly amazing.

The story of Blair and Ethan is one I won't forget anytime soon and one I will revisit again and again. Promises Hurt and Forgotten Promises have both found their places on my Favorites shelf.

I absolutely LOVED this book! The push/pull, love/hate between Blake and Lila has you turning pages as fast as you can to see what's going to happen next! These two, they've got so much baggage and yet when they come together it all disappears. Now, factor in Pierce (and I admit I'm kinda teetering on #TeamPierce) ... a triangle of epic proportions. The way Lisa weaves a story, her prose, her timing... flawless. I'm anxious to read the next book in the series to see what happens next because I have a feeling Lisa's going to take us on another wild adventure! I, for one, can't wait!

Nixon and the rest of the guys' points of view... I love it! All the times I'd wondered what Nixon was thinking--now I know. This is one author who knows how to keep her readers happy! Well done, Rachel!

It's difficult to write this review without giving away any spoilers so I'll be vague. Tijan wrote this book perfectly. It was perfectly planned, perfectly timed, and perfectly executed. I enjoyed spending time with these characters in Jaded and Still Jaded but this was my favorite book of the trilogy. I felt more connected to Sheldon, Bryce, Corrigan, and Denton. I was sad to see the series come to an end, but as it had to do so, I'd have to say Jaden is a fantastic ending to an unforgettable trilogy.

I was privileged with an ARC of this book by the fabulous Elle Brooks and I've got to say, you better have the tissues handy for this one. It's sweet, tender, loving, scary, and heartbreaking. I bawled my eyes out ... no lie. This book touched deep inside of me and is still with me weeks later.

I took time away from the book before I wrote a review because I wasn't sure what to say without giving things away. The entire Promises series is fantastic and it's one I'm constantly recommending to anyone who will listen. Elle Brooks has an amazing gift. She can write a story that becomes so vivid and true that we can see and feel it. If you haven't read anything by Elle, you NEED to. But be prepared for the feels... there'll be LOTS of them!

I just finished Until November and I am totally in love with Asher. Can I keep him? OMG.. I love him. Nothing is hotter than an alpha male who bulldozes his way into your life and refuses to accept the word "no".... kisses you into acceptance, and f@cks you into submission.I can't wait to dig in to the other books in this series!!

I have to also say that these books need to come with a disclaimer stating that when reading them women need to have an extra pair of panties handy because these alpha males are sure to set off your wet panty alert!
