Book Review: BETTER WHEN HE'S BRAVE by Jay Crownover

Review:
***** STARS - I loved it!




Wow, that was a good one!

Here's a little quote for you guys that really got to me:

"I think it's important to make most of what you have. Before you know it, all of it can be gone and then all you're left with is regret" - Reeve

The first thing that I loved about this book was the beginning. Great prologue, it hook me up immediately and it made me fear an crave, at the same time, what was about to come. It was mysterious and full of action and it gave hints about what was going to happen but it also left me in a cliffhanger that only made me want to skip the entire book so I could get some answers. (I didn't, of course)

The book was, in my opinion, very well written. There were lots of inner monologue and that usually bores me, but it was written so right that it didn't happen this time, the inner monologue told a story in itself beyond the interactions with other characters. This allowed me to get to know the leading characters very deeply and understand their complexity and boy do they were complex. Because this story, the story of The Point is not a simple story, it's not light and no fairy tale, it's tough stuff, there's no black and white here, and I think that it's what makes it so good for me.

Book Release & REVIEW: WHERE WE BELONG by J. Daniels




Title: Where We Belong
Series: Alabama Summer #4
Author: J. Daniels
 Release Date: August 21, 2015



Blurb

From NY Times and USA Today bestselling author, J. Daniels, an Alabama Summer series novella.

Ben and Mia Kelly can’t seem to catch a break.

Grueling night shift and opposing schedules have left the passionate couple geared up and ready for some much needed alone time. There’s only one thing standing in their way.

Parenthood.

With two curious boys who have mastered the art of cock-blocking roaming the house, Ben and Mia, sexually frustrated beyond reason, quickly resort to surprise sexcapades and naughty little trysts whenever and however they can get them.

Who said anything about keeping things legal?

Assume the position. Things are about to heat up in the south.

Warning: This book is recommended for readers over the age of 18 due to strong language and explicit sexual content.



MY REVIEW:
**** 4 STARS

I can actually say I liked this book much more than the first one, maybe because I had already fell in love with the characters and I got to explore much more of them. Here we get to see their married life and how they deal with parenthood and also with being a couple. I think the events played in the book were pretty real and they're something that happens to a lot of married couples with children and everything was described with humour and also with love and urgency too. 
My favourite thing about this series, and specially about Where I Belong and Where We Belong is Nolan, I love that kid so freaking much. I adore Nolan's relationship with Mia, since their first moment together. And this is personal, but I love that Mia is a real mom to him, 'cause I would have love that my mom's ex-husband would have been a real dad to me and put me first before his needs and not compete with me for my mom's love. Mia is not like that at all and I love how giving she is. 
Also, I really liked that sex here was presented as an issue. That they struggle to have a healthy sexual life now that they have kids and are married. It's very real and somehow at the same time it's not all about the sex just for the sake of it, but it's because they love and miss each other and sex is their way of connecting in the most deep way and show each other that love. 
I still think I would have like more character development, specially in Mia's case, I don't know about her dreams as an individual and not only just as a mom and married woman,  but I guess it's what it is. I still liked the book a lot! :)
