Against
the Wall (Book 1):
This book grips you
from page 1.
Shelly is bitter
because she lost her man to another woman—a teacher at her school. Now, she
must face work everyday while the two new lovers make goo-goo eyes at each
other. Can anyone blame her for being bitter?
But, as they say, “the
best way to get over a man is to get under a new one.” How about Matty, her
best friend colleague? He’s gorgeous!
I liked how Matty is
always a friend. I wished I had a friend like that…who was so much more. And I
also like how he wanted to test Shelly to make sure that she was over Chase and
that she loved him. Chase was a total ass. Is it any wonder why they didn’t
make it with all the times they broke up in the past?
Still, even though
Matty seemed perfect for Shelly, is it a good idea to mix work and play?
My favorite line was:
“My tias are gonna be all up in my masa.” (165) I loved the Mexican flavor in
the story.
A cute romance—funny
and witty!
Between
the Sheets (Book 2): Melissa could never resist her best friend’s
brother, but timing’s never been right with them, especially now since they
live miles apart from each other and get re-acquainted on the occasional
visits.
With a week
together, they spend an amazing time in Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and San
Francisco. But do they just keep meeting up for a quickie between the sheets or
is there something more. Mel certainly wants more, but is afraid Ty’s not up
for giving up his independence.
Things get
even more complicated when Mel finds out she’s pregnant. Oh no!
The writing
was okay, but it felt a little rushed, like a babbling run-on sentence. I
thought Shel was annoying with the whole “my husband” stuff.
Story had
decent drama with a happy ending.
Straddling
the Edge (Book 3): What Summer expect when she dated a known cheater?
Of course, he’d cheat! (Chase cheated on Shel in Book 1)
Then she
meets “Hot, Sexy Guy” at a bar during a Dodger game and it’s all over for her.
Funny how these teachers tend to act like horny and immature teenagers, which I
found totally annoying. The writing tends to go on and on, babbling
incessantly.
Dean is
actually a good guy. I loved how he protected Summer from that horrible Chase.
Still, how could the dude be in love so soon? One passionate romp in the sack
and it’s love? C’mon! Of course, all the married couples sucked, too. I just found
this particular story more annoying than the rest.
Playing
Chase Book 4): Mel, Shel, and
Summer are playing a trick on Chase to get back at the cheating bastard. At
first, I wondered why the author would write a story on the douchebag.
Then you
find the answer once you get into the game. First, Chase is enraptured by his
new student-teacher, Tiffany Gutierrez. But what’s really fun to watch are the
disaster dates the girls set him up with to get even, which include a crazy cat
lady and a prostitute that likes to have sex in public. Ewe!
But Tiffany’s
not fooled. She makes the girls realize that there’s more to Chase than the
scumbag they remember. Turns out that’s true. Apparently, his problems all come
from his cheating, bastard father, who tells him that women are only good for
one thing—to have fun with and move on to the next. That’s why his
relationships to Shel and Summer never worked out—because he was being
influenced by this foul-mouth dad. But Tiffany believes that Chase is a good
guy and would never hurt her, which prompts Chase to finally apologize to Shel
and Summer—a nice gesture!
This was a
great ending to the series!
Overall:
Passionate love stories with relatable characters, but the writing tended to
ramble on, and I thought the teachers were pretty immature sometimes.
Overall Rating: 3
stars
