Bombshell by CD Reiss- 1.5 stars

Book blurb:
"Hollywood bad boy Brad Sinclair always gets his way, whether it’s the role he wants or the bikini-clad model he has to have. But when a bombshell gets dropped in his lap in the form of a dimpled five-year-old from a forgotten relationship, he knows his life is about to change forever.

Cara DuMont isn’t exactly thrilled when she gets assigned to be the nanny for the latest box-office king. She has one rule: no celebrity parents!

But as soon as Cara meets Brad and his adorable little girl, she knows she’s in for a world of trouble. Because there’s something about the way Brad looks at her that makes her believe that some rules are meant to be broken…"


Sounds interesting enough right? Or at the very least a easy late night read for when your brain needs a brake from overly complicate book plots (which happens to me often since I read YA fantasy a lot). 
Well, I am sorry to break this to you but this is not what you will get here. The plot is just wrong. The story does not work at all. There are a few sweet moments and the kid is adorable so I cannot give no stars at all, but it certainly no worth more than 1.5. 

It didn't start bad. Their first meeting was not about them, but about the kid. And I liked that. He recognized she was better with his kid than the other girl and he is meant to be a character used to getting what he wants because of money. So I understood and appreciated the way they met. I also liked the way they first met at his house. She accepted to come to consult to him, but not to work for him. Her honesty and straight forward talking was nice, refreshing even. But from that point onward everything went south.

The characters:
First we have Cara. She came across standoffish, cold, boring and forgettable. To be honest, her friend was a lot more interesting than she was. In the end I felt indifferent towards her, I will be surprised if I remember her name tomorrow morning.

Then we have Brad... How old is he meant to be? 15? because that is how he came across. He was immature, selfish, unappealing. He is meant to be this super sexy guy but his attitude is so 'meh' that I can't even picture the character in my mind. There were many times in the book were I question if Cara was babysitting him or the kid. It was seriously hard to tell.

The little girl was cute, adorable and mildly entertaining. The 1.5 score goes for her and the first 10 or so pages. That is it.

Promises and Pomegranates (Monsters & Muses #1) by Sav R. Miller

I was very excited about this read. The reviews are good, the people recommending it were people whose recommendations I have liked in the past. And in the end, at did like this one. But I will confess from the start that Promises and Pomegranates  did not blow me away. Blurb: Elena To most, Kal Anderson is a villain. Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares. Doctor Death. Hades incarnate. They say he stole me. Usurped my fiancĂ© and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises. Imprinted his crimson fingerprints on my psyche and tried to set me free. They’re not wrong, per se. Except it was my choice to stay. Kal To most, Elena Ricci is an innocent. Goddess of springtime, lover of poetry, angel of my nightmares. Little one. Persephone personified. They say I ruined her. Shattered her virtue and devoured her soul like a succulent pomegranate. Embedded my evil as deep as I could possibly get and tried to set her free. They’re not wrong, per se. Except it was she

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2)

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2) @glimpses_of_my_books These books are (to me at least) two VERY different books and the reason you should never give up on an author after just one book. I did not like Crow  one tiny bit. But I absolutely loved Reaper . One is a 1 star, while the other is a 4...  Let's start with the good first, Reaper . Ronan is likely to break your heart. Throughout the book we get snippets of his past, accounts of everything he had to go through before Crow and his mother find him and save him from the horrible life he was leaving. In a way, although I wasn't a fun of Crow in the first book, his love and care for Ronan had made me like him a little better. Ronan is not quiet, moody, and broody by choice. It is a consequence of all the things he has been through, the things I mentioned above that will break your heart... He is caring and loving, but he has no idea how to put those things in action. He is, in a way, one of the mos

Cruel Prince (Royal Hearts Academy #1) by Ashley Jade

Continuing with my newest obsession, bully romance, we now have Jace. Insufferable, hateful, vengeful Jace. Blurb: I never thought I'd step foot in Royal Manor again. But four years later, here I am... back to finish my senior year at Royal Hearts Academy. And forced to face Jace Covington. My first friend. First crush. First kiss. The one I left behind. Only—he isn't the same boy I gave my heart to. This new Jace is as cruel as he is gorgeous. And he's determined to make my life a living hell. Along with the rest of his glorified family and crew of tyrants. They expect me to worship the ground they walk on like everyone else, but I'd rather eat dirt. If Jace Covington wants me gone...he'll have to try harder. Because I've never been the kind of girl to play by the rules. Jace is cruel. Not as cruel as some of the other bully romances I've been reading lately, but he is definitely not a nice guy. Burnt by his past, still hurting from everything that happened
