Dylan doesn’t do relationships. He and his older brother watched their dad go through hell and back, so they made a pact years ago—no girl would come between the Gibson boys. But his brother sells out. He's getting married anyway. To the sister of a chick Dylan met at a party, who's probably the angriest girl he's ever met. Unfortunately, she happens to be hot, too.
Ziah’s life is upside down—her safe boyfriend turns out to be not-so-safe, and now her sister is getting married before college is over to the older brother of a spoiled, party boy who drives her crazy. And also makes her heart beat too fast.
There’s no denying the attraction, but there's also no denying how much they irritate each other. When they’re thrown together as forced wedding planners, they find an ally in each other--neither wants this wedding to happen.
But instead of putting a stop to the crazy nuptials they find themselves at fittings and cake testing. And maybe even…a few dates? Dizzy is a novel about what happens when two people who are determined not to fall in love, maybe do anyway. Maybe.{Goodreads}

~Review:
  Firsts....Jolene and Nyrae are two of my most favoritist indie authors of ALL time!!! I first fell in love with Nyrae when I fell in love with Sebastian! O. My. Word!! Dudes, she is a PRO when it comes to dreamy boys. I LOVE Sebastian and (What a Boy Wants) was absolutely amazing! I got giggly and goosebumpy and laughed my tooshy off!!! Pure. Genius!! And then I fell in love with Jolene when I read the story of Luke and Ronnie. It totally changed me and my thoughts. It (Knee Deep) was cute romantic and humorous and completely inspirational! If there are two Indie authors I will repeatedly recommend it would be these two! They are so talented and need more recognition!! I am so behind with their books because they keep popping them out like there is no tomorrow!! I mean seriously you guys...slow down!! I can't keep up these days!! It seems everyday there is a new one coming!! ;D (no, please don't ever stop writing!!) I need to read them all...so should you! ;)

  Anyways!! Enough with their previous books. This is  a review of Dizzy not the other two. Ok well..let me rant a bit more about these two lovely authors. Nyrae and her perfect boys + Jolene and her awesome, witty female leads= the perfect combo! This book was so good! I loved the play of back and forth with Ziah and Dylan's POV. Dylan was so charismatic and a complete hot head..an adorable, fun, funny, in-denial boy!! O gosh..I loved him. He was fun and witty. He was loving and confused. Ziah was a pain in the ahh...tushy. She was mean and mad and so freaking difficult! She was also loving and funny without knowing it. She had this charm that I just came to love. I love reading through alternating POV but the best is when the characters are so distinguishable but still the same where you don't feel like you are reading completely different books. Ziah and Dylan were one of the same. I loved how Ziah would end her turn thinking one thing and Dylan would pick up thinking the exact same thing. They were on the same page...they were the cutest couple ever.

  Jolene and Nyrae's writing was just as amazing even though they were sharing the pages. I enjoyed getting to know each character and reading from their talented hands. It was a true gift. They created one of the best couples in the contemporary genre. I had no problems...well one. Their relationship status. So they kind of hated each other at first. They believed they were on completely different sides of the world but they were closer than they thought...and once they figured it out it was nothing but sparks. Gosh these two were so cute! They were funny, witty (my!! their banter was awesome!!), close, smexy (uhmm..there were some pretty steamy, blood pumping scenes I was very fond of reading). They tried to deny their attraction but they just...couldn't. They only tried to keep their distance because they had things of their pasts and recent situations which screwed them over to thinking love was impossible. I felt bad but they helped each other out. They worked..they just worked.

  Wait...I thought you said you had a problem with their relationship status?....you may have just thought that question. Yes, you are right...I am getting there. Alas, my problem which semi-ruined my complete heart gushing over their little romance....Their siblings were getting married. That kinda makes them siblings...half...step siblings. Not by blood but by marriage. I just don't know I found it weird. They are siblings after the "I do". What?? Some people may not have a big deal with this...I didn't mind it too much it just kinda rubbed me the wrong way I'm afraid. I would have liked it if something was different but it kinda had to be to make their situation possible and the dislike they had with the wedding. Still...a little awkward for me but it didn't effect the rating so no worries!!

  So besides the sibling relation....Dizzy had its own charisma. It was all sorts of fun and excitement! Nyrae and Jolene truly have a gift and make one hell of a power duo! More please? I enjoyed this book so! I was so excited when Jolene asked me if I wanted a review copy!! I really love these two authors and I can't wait to read more from them..together or standing alone! I totally recommend this book to everyone who loves those romantic comedies with a dash of self-discovery! I kinda really like the cover too..its quirky and cute! I loved the humor, the writing, the love, the drama, the..a lot of the book let's just say ;) Seriously! Once you have the chance check this book out a long with their other books! I can promise you their books will fill ya up on any sappy yet funny romance cravings you have! They have yet to disappoint me!

4 of 5 girly stars!!

{Review} What a Boy Needs by Nyrae Dawn

What a Boy Needs
Author: Nyrae Dawn
Release Date: June 2012
Source: Bought
Format: ebook
Pages: 124

A companion novel to WHAT A BOY WANTS.

Jaden Sinclair knows he'll never amount to anything...so why would he deserve a girl like Priscilla Mendoza?

Since last summer, things have been screwed up between Jaden and Pris. He knows it's his fault, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting to go a few rounds with her new boyfriend. He also knows he’s the loser his dad calls him, but it doesn’t stop him from wanting her.

After getting a huge bomb dropped on him, Jaden lashes out and lands himself in jail. Everything in his chaotic life is turned upside down and to make it worse, his mom kicks him out in order to side with his dad. Yeah, he’s totally a prize for a girl like Pris.

Sebastian, Aspen, and Pris are all going places in their lives...and he knows he can't keep tagging along for the ride.

The group has one last chance for The Epic Adventure they've been looking for: a road trip to New York, where Jaden's friends will be going to college. Unfortunately, the more time Jaden hangs around Pris, the harder it is to keep the carefully constructed walls between them so she doesn't find out what a train wreck he really is.

When the trip ends, Jaden has to decide if he's ready to say goodbye to his friends, and the girl he loves. He knows what he needs, but will he be man enough to go for it?

Contains mature themes. Some sexual situations and language. {Goodreads}

~Review:
 Where to begin....I absolutely fell in love with book one to this companion, What a Boy Wants, and I fell just as in love with What a Boy Needs. Man oh man did I miss these bunch! Nyrae Dawn does a perfect job capturing the meaning of friendship, loyalty, love, and the struggles of finding you are and what you will fight for. I don't know how many times I choked up, laughed my freakin face off and smiled! There is so much love between each character. They practically scream family and their loyalty to each other is heart warming! Sebastian and Jaden had to be my favorite part(s) of this book (besides the love! DUH!!) ;D

  I loved getting to know Jaden on a deeper level. It was nice and also very very sad to see behind the scenes in his life. I felt so bad for him ad was costantly ruiting for him throughout the book. Also...I was ready to punch him too ;D Stupid boy wouldn't open up!! Haha but I totally didn't blame him. I love Jaden! Ant not just because we share a name haha I think I like Sebastian more but I tend to be attracted to the funnies and my friends...Sebastian is the definition of funny!

  This book was so cute and it totally had me from page one! If you are looking for a cute, funny, and all around really good quick read, this book is for you! And if you have yet to read What a Boy Wants.....go out and buy it ASAP! Then go and read Nyrae's recently released books! I sure know I will!! :D

4 wonderful stars!

{Review} What a Boy Wants by Nyrae Dawn

What a Boy Wants
Author: Nyrae Dawn
Published: April 6, 2012
Source: Bought (only $0.99 on Amazon for Kindle!!!)
Pages: 135

Courtesy of watching his mom’s relationships, Sebastian Hawkins knows what girls need to do to get a guy. He has what he considers a PHD in hooking up. When he needs extra cash for a car, Sebastian starts up an online venture as The Hook-up Doctor, to anonymously help girls land the guy of their dreams. Of course, his services don’t offer a happily-ever-after guarantee. He’s seen firsthand getting together never means staying together. 
And then he falls in love… 
With the last girl he would expect…
Totally not in his game plan. 
Suddenly, Sebastian finds himself muddled in the game he’s always prided himself on. He can’t even pick up girls at parties anymore! Why would anyone want to be in love when it turns you into a stuttering, screwed-up, mess with really lame stalker tendencies? Stalking? Totally not his gig. 
But the Hook-up Doctor won’t let himself go down easily. He’s always known how to give a girl what she wants and now it’s time to figure out what a boy wants… and he definitely plans on getting it. {Goodreads}

~Review:
Uhm.....I don't even know where to start! This book left me absolutely speechless! No joke. Ok I'll start out with....

Sebastian. I loved that this book was from his POV!! I, as a girl, got to see inside a boys head. ;) Sebastian is one of those boys who likes to play around. He just likes to have fun. He feels bad for the boys who are "whipped". Why be held down by one girl when you can have a new girl whenever you feel like? One night hook-ups: Hell yes! Forever and ever: Hell no! But don't take that as him being a heart breaker! No. Sebastian would never lead a girl on. He doesnt want to be like the men who have been in his mother's life. The kind of guy who makes a girl feel special and that a relationship could bloom from it. Heck! He doesn't believe in relationships and he definately doesnt believe in love. Point being: He is a one shot dude. Hook up and that's it. He's seen his mother heart broken one too many times and would never do that to any girl.

In fact he's seen it so much that he's kind of a pro that this. You know...what a guy wants...what a girl wants...what it takes to get the guy! He's so good that he even has his own business as the Hook-Up Doctor! Ya, that's right he gets emailed from love struck girls who are in need of some advice to get the guy of her dreams. For $100 he gives the advice needed for that one girl to get her hook-up! ...Emphasis on the hook-up. Even though his work is full proof....he is not responsible for the happily ever after or deal.

Jaden (hey does that name sound familiar? Oh and it's not a girl), Pris, and Aspen are Sebastian's best friends. Aspen more then the rest. They've know each other since grade-K and have lived on the same street, just two houses down from each other, just as long. These guys have been through everything together. The girls have even had to save their sorry hook-up butts more than once and have had to deal with them and their flirts on more than one occasion. But that's ok cus that's just how close they are!

I loved each of the characters! They were individuals but they were the same. Each one of them was likeable and relateable. They each had their troubles and that's what made them so real! They found friendship because of their problems. They were there for each other!

Now enter in the beginning of the story when Sebastian gets another client: PA Rocks. But...somethings strangely familiar with PA. There was alot of dramatic irony going on and I loved it. But then of course I wanted to slap Sebastian and tell him to open his damn eyes! ;D

Guys...this book is amazing! It's a short read but it doesn't feel like it. You would think that with as much time passes....it wouldn't quite work. That it was too rushed or some nonsense that we often run into when talking bout short stories. But not with this one. Ms. Dawn worked time out perfectly! In fact she workeed everything perfectly! I mean this is from a guys prospective. a prospective of a guy...written by a girl. Eh. That often leads to the men being too perfect in that lil head of his. He seems too girly..whatever. Not a problem! You saw he wasn't perfect...the equivilant to how you think a guy's brain would work! Yes sometimes I was like...idk....but who am I to even say that! I'm not a guy expert!!

I am not joking when I say this book was AMAZING!! It seriously is one of my favorite contempories of all time! I couldn't stop smiling from page one! I seriously think my mom thought I was a freak from all my random smiles, giggles, and squeals when reading in the car. It was....absolutely amazing! I have no clue why this book isn't talked about more! Why everyone hasn't read it!

Do I recommend you all stop what your reading, buy this e-book(or paperback but you get the e-book quicker and in this case you need this book asap!...personally I'd like to own a physical copy so I can treasure it forever! but like I said...needed it asap!) and read!?
Yes.
Yes, I do.

Seriously people! Go and read this when you need a quick little read. You will NOT. be disapointed! This star deserves these five stars I'm about to give it and a heck of a lot more!!! Sorry for the long review but it was a must! You know that if I ramble....its good! If it leaves me speachless...its great!! If it's as long as this....its a musst!!
