Review: French Kiss For Hire episode 4



French Kiss for Hire episode 4
By Lizzy Ford, Nana Malone, Amanda Aksel, Morgan Wylie, Amanda Lance, & Nikki Jefford
Luc's relationship and money woes continue in episode 4 of French Kiss for Hire... 

Sensitive and sexy Frenchman, Luc Du’mont, is living the American dream. He’s spent the last four years at university on an acting scholarship. Now, with graduation behind him he’s ready to make his big Hollywood splash. 

A debut that has to happen before his student visa expires in two months. Otherwise, he’ll be shipped home to France and all of his acting opportunities will sail with him. 
But most importantly, he’ll lose any chance at winning blond-bombshell Serena Dawson’s heart. As the sister of his roommate she is strictly off limits. But when Serena approaches Luc for kissing advice, what can Luc say other than pucker up? 

The kiss leads to much more than Luc ever imagined. When word gets out about Luc’s lip-locking skills and his unemployment leaves him desperate, Luc finds himself with a new career path: French Kiss for Hire. 

Except the only client he wants is the one girl he can’t have.

My review:

These episodes are fun and quick, and they seem to flow so well that I forget that each has been written by a different author. In episode four I feel like the story is finally moving forward and now Luc is facing a huge obstacle. He desperately needs his visa and time is running out. I can't wait to see if he actually gets married to stay in the country! I still feel like I haven't learned much about Serena and the only reason I have to root for her and Luc to be together is because he is such a sweetheart and seems to believe that is what would make him happy. I really hope to have more light shined on what it is that dear Luc sees in her and hopefully give me a reason to care for her too. I look forward to reading the next episode and hope that things start to look better for Luc. Poor guy has had a tough go of it so far.

Review: Any Other Girl


Any Other Girl


Any Other Girl by Rebecca Phillips
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


My Review: 

This was a great coming of age contemporary! I previously read Rebecca Phillips' "Faking Perfect" and really liked her writing voice, so I was happy to get a chance to read another book written by her. Any Other Girl was written in much that same fun fresh voice that I loved in Faking Perfect and had the same overall good flow. I loved that it was very realistic and had just the right amount of conflict without being overly angsty. Kat was an easy character for me to understand and although she didn't always make the best choices ( I mean who did at that age? ) I thought she was relatable and dealt with things a lot of girls her age have. I know that she was trying really hard to deny her feelings to save her cousins feelings and to also prove to herself that she could resist flirting with someone else's crush. It was sad though because you could tell that there was definitely good chemistry between her and Emmett and that it just wasn't going to happen for him and Harper. Kat was really sweet trying to get them together to make her cousin happy despite her own desires. I know others have said they didn't like that she was so invested in her looks, but a lot of girls that age are and the fact that she had gotten that way from trying to prove she was feminine despite her being raised by two fathers made me empathize with her. Overall I really enjoyed Any Other Girl and hope to read more of Ms. Phillips writing in the future. I would absolutely recommend this to lovers of realistic YA romantic coming of age novels.

Review: Conspiracy Boy





Angel Academy Book 1: Prophecy Girl
Angel Academy Book 2: Conspiracy Boy



My Review


Conspiracy Boy is spellbinding! I am really glad that I already had this second book in the series after finishing book one Prophecy Girl, because I just had to know what was going to happen. If anything I think I may have enjoyed Conspiracy Boy even more so than the first book. It's got great humor and wit with a fast pace that kept me thoroughly engrossed from beginning to end. There were definitely some twists that I didn't see coming, including my new found feelings for Luc. He really won me over in this one and I really really hope that things are not as they seem with him now that book two is over. That sounded really cryptic right? Sorry didn't want to give any spoilers :-) But anyhow I really like this series and am really hoping for another book. I think if your a fan of young adult urban fantasy with angels, demons, prophecies, and other cool stuff that you should definitely try out this series.  ( I highly recommend reading these in order )

My Review

The French Kiss For Hire episodes are quick and light-hearted and perfect for me to read in a book funk to help purge those
major book hangovers.  

I do really enjoy Luc's character. He's such a sweet charming young man and just makes me smile with his polite manners and good heart. I know that these episodes are short and sweet, which I do like, but I really feel that I have not got to know Serena enough yet. Luc has definitely won my heart, now I want to know why Serena has won his. Ben and Madison are also great characters that I have come to like. Ben is fun and quirky and Madison definitely has something she's hiding under that spoiled girl she pretends to be. Overall I am really intrigued with the story and hope that I get to find out more about Serena in the following episodes and get to really know who she is and feel that spark between her and Luc. This episode did give me hope that she reciprocates Luc's feelings and that really has me anxious to see where this goes.
