Then she met Maddox when she least expected it. Maddox is very charming, kind, caring and sarcastically funny. From the day they met, Maddox interest with Emma couldn’t be hidden away. He set his eyes on her and there was no going back for him. That day was the very first of their non-stop adventures together. Maddox promised Emma a summer full of adventures and Emma couldn’t be any happier.

Everyday they spent together was an adventure and they enjoyed every minute of their time together. At first Emma had a hard time trusting Maddox, but that didn’t last long. She knew Maddox was different and there was something about him that just pull her in and the more time they spent together, the more she was falling for him. Maddox’s a great guy and he was gentle with Emma. He never push for more, he thought of everything with her and everything to her comfort. But time after time, Maddox would try to tell Emma something and then just stops. Emma knew he was keeping something, but she was willing to wait for him to be ready to open up.

Will the secret that Maddox is holding on to, end up keeping them apart?
Or will he learn that the best thing for them both is to share everything and anything to each other?
Read and find out.

This is one of the sweetest book I’ve ever read, it’s very clean and full of love. I was hooked from the very first page and Maddox had a way with words that will keep you turning the pages. I am so in love with this book and Maddox of course, my newest book boyfriend. This is definitely a must read, especially for the readers who love that innocent kind of love.

I cannot wait to to read about Maddox twin brother Mathias, I’m sure his story will be a good one.

I totally snorted this book like no other. A nice genre change compare to the books I've read the past month, but I love it so much. It's one sweet love story that will have you blushing and swooning over Maddox and fall in love with how innocent Emma is.

Maddox Wade, is a drummer of the Willow Creek band. He doesn't let anyone in, or so he thought. Until he sees the cute blonde at the fair, she's all he ever thinks about. Makes him feel that there is life behind the cameras. He wants his personal life to be private, without anyone knowing his real life, it makes him feel like a normal person. Keeping his life private could also be the cause of his heart to break. But he's selfish enough to keep that to himself. Selfish enough to have the love of his life to be the last to know who he truly is.



Emma is a good daughter and a best friend. She never thought that one day at the fair could change her entire life. The first time she laid eyes on a guy with the drumstick behind his back pockets, she was rendered speechless. She could not imagine being with a guy as hot as Maddox would be interested in the kind of girl she was. She's simple and naive. She's never been intimate with anyone and she believes that giving up the V-card is for the one special person. I loved how she and her mom are so close and never hide anything from each other. Since her dad walked out on her and her mom, she feels that she has to keep her guard up. She never let any boy in her heart. She has trust issues when it comes to men, so Maddox is in for a ride to knock these walls she's put up.

Who knew that one summer is all it could take to have the most unforgettable experience that could change both their lives? One sweet summer packed with so much adventure and romance. I loved everything about LAST TO KNOW. It was one tamed book, but it will touch you and make you feel like a teenager once again. I can't wait to get to know Mathias in book two. I'm a huge fan of Micalea Smeltzer.

All of It by Kim Holden

When I was given the opportunity to read All of It by Kim Holden, I jumped at the chance to review this book because all I heard how amazing BrightSide was and I wanted to check out her debut book, All of It.



All of It was definitely one of those books that took on a slow pace as the story progresses. It was not necessarily bad but I felt at times, the author should have quicken the pace up a bit. With that being said, All of It was a lovely book that explores love, life, friendships, happiness, loss, and soul-mates. Personally, this book dealt with theme of connections. Two souls destined to meet and have their lives intertwined with one another. Dimitri and Veroinca were two lovers whose journey consisted of them exploring life and love together through the ups and downs.

Overall, I enjoyed the book and the last few chapters since it did capture the true essence of life, love, and happiness.

“I promise to love you every day … every yesterday, every today, and every tomorrow … forever.”

Paper or Plastic by Vivi Barnes

Paper or Plastic by Vivi Barnes was a light, sweet, cute read for all those YA readers. It was one of those books that really incorporated the themes of friendship, family, life, and a budding new romance.



Alexis Dubios is a young teen who made a stupid mistake of shoplifting lipsticks at SmartMart and in order for her to not have this appear on her record, she has to work for SmartMart for the summer. It was not the summer vacation that Alexis was looking forward to, but it was a summer that taught her so much when she meets the employees of SmartMart. New friendship and romance begins to blossom. Life lessons taught Alexis so much at her time in SmartMart.

So if you are looking for a light, cute read then Paper or Plastic might be the book for you. I enjoyed the book but I felt this book was a tad bit long for my taste. Other than that, it was a book that sweet and left you with a smile on your face.
