The book is live if you want to try it out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J...4 STARS!!!There are certain words in blurbs that set off alarms for me, and by alarms I mean the kind that make me stalk the author/publisher/PA etc…to get more info on. In the blurb for You Make Me, the words “foster brother” did it for me. I was extremely interested in seeing how this would play out and I’m really happy to say that I think this is Erin McCarthy’s best work to date: she’s written a stormy, passi...
Bah!
1.5 stars (writing was readable) Holy freaking buckets of New Adult shit. The DRAMA, the MELODRAMA, the POSSESSIVENESS, the ANGST, the first person pov from only heroine, just the absolute (personal taste) please go away recent fad of horrible tropes that we don't want younger women/girls to read, y'all.I read the whole thing (some fast time skimming) but I hope no younger girls do because this is absolutely NOT how relationships should go between couples.
2.5 stars I'm afraid this may be an unfair, on-the-fence review as I disliked the the heroine so much, that it took away any enjoyment of the book so it's important that I make it clear that this 2.5 star rating is based on my personal taste/preferences and does not reflect on the great writing and storytelling that the author has worked hard at. Yes, the h killed me slowly with irritation but I also GET that she's young and insecure so I really tried my hardest to empathise with her painfully n...
DNF 11%. Holy hell, Batman.I wanted to tell him to slow it down, let me catch up, but I couldn’t because I knew why he was doing it. He was staking a claim, putting his stamp on me. Reminding himself that he had me, and Heath didn’t. I couldn’t deny him that, not when I knew what he must have seen on my face, not when the very night Ethan had asked me to marry him, I had been distracted and emotional over someone he had never even heard me talk about. If our roles had been reversed, I would nee...
Have you ever read a book so good and hits you so deep that it was extremely difficult to get over? Well, You Make Me wasn’t like that for me; it was the unfortunate follow-up book. So as I read this book, and found myself having quite a few issues with it, I had to wonder if part of it was because I was still on a supreme high from the previous book and this just couldn't compare. I think that might have played a small part in my feelings for it, but ultimately, I think it was the book. Or me.
I can't say enough good things about this book! It was a bit of an emotional roller coaster but I was rooting for Heath throughout the whole book. It's a powerful story about finding and losing your first love and then finding it again years later. The emotion was real, so much so that I sometimes didn't know if I loved or hated Cat and Heath ( I loved them of coarse, but they were frustrating sometimes). The whole story is based on trust and how both Cat and Heath had to trust and grow into the...
TOO MUCH DRAMA4 years ago after declaring their love for one another Cat thought that Heath and she were going to be together forever. But Heath disappeared and never contacted Cat again.Present day Cat has reinvented herself. She's hidden from everyone her poor background and is now quite the sophisticated young woman. Her boyfriend Ethan is probably the most respected and popular guy on campus. Everything is coming up roses, when out of the blue Heath reappears.I had high hopes for this story
12/21/2014 --This book just didn't make a whole lot of sense. I have real issues when a book is just not realistic.For instance:1 -- Foster parents that have one adult on disability and the other eligible for a mental institution. And, these facts are known by the community.2 -- Foster kids in a household for a short time and being called Foster siblings? What? Flashbacks of all the "Foster Siblings" that have passed through your household over the years. Nutzo!3 -- A college girl remaking herse...
The first book in the Blurred Lines series by Erin McCarthy. Caitlyn is in college and her boyfriend proposes to her. Just at the time she says yes, her soulmate, Heath, shows up. But Heath left her 4 years ago without a word. I have read a few Erin McCarthy's books and have enjoyed them for the most part. I did not realize this was a New Adult when I downloaded it. I think it was a freebie to be honest. Anyway, I didn't care for it much. Too much drama and angst for my personal taste. But it wa...
4.5 Stars! I REALLY enjoyed this book. The only reason I didn’t give it the full 5 stars was because there were a few grammatical errors that distracted me from the story, and there were a couple of loose ends i would have preferred to wrap up, though by not being discussed I guess they sort of are? WHAT I LOVED: Cat & Heath. Heath & Cat. They felt so real, you could feel the weight of so much history and wanting between them. Cat was understanding of Heath and all that he’s been through, but sh...
3 solid stars for the start of this series!This is a fairly predictable read about first loves and second chances between two characters that to me were hard to really like!Cat Michaud grew up in an unconventional home with a crazy mom, drunk brother, and foster siblings coming in and out of her life. She found her first love and true loss in the arms of an older foster kid...Heath. one day in love the next left alone.Fast forward to a new life...away at college, making herself into a New person...
DNF @ 55%Just not in the mood for this one I guess.
Caitlyn Michaud had given her heart to her foster brother Heath and when she did he shattered it without a word. Heath is back and the Caitlyn he knew is long gone. Caitlyn is in college, she is dating the It guy on campus, Ethan, and they are beginning a life together. It is all interrupted when Heath tries to insert himself back into Caitlyn's life. Every carefully placed piece in Caitlyn's life is about to implode, now she finds herself leaning on Heath but can she trust him again?This was in...
Drama-llama story, for sure. Not that that's a terrible thing, but you have to be in the mood for it. Heroine came off whiny and bratty. Hero was ok, but there really wasn't much of a backstory to get a good sense of him. McCarthy has done much better.
2.5 Not my cup... heroine annoyed the hell out of me! She was too dramatic that it hurts to continue reading the book. It's either she wants to be with Heath or Ethan and she couldn't make up her damn mind! Top it off that she cheated? ugh. (and yes, in my opinion she did cheat!) (view spoiler)[she kept thinking and texting Heath while Ethan (her fiancé) is asleep! Then afterwards decided to meet him in his apartment while the fiancé is away.. nice girl huh? (hide spoiler)]Heath asked her if is
3 Stars!This would be one of those I would say "It's not you, it's me." Cause... I did not like Caitlyn, sigh... And for a while there, I thought the story was gonna destroy Ethan's character as well, but I'm glad it didn't. I liked both Heath and Ethan... they both deserve someone better. I really love the storyline, but did not like how it went down. The problem here is Caitlyn... her reasonings and actions gave me a hell of a headache really. :(So Caitlyn had a poor life growing up, with a cr...
Oddly depressing but uplifting storyI found most of this book, extremely depressing. It seemed as if no one could catch a break in the entire book, and least of all the h and H. Whether they deserved it or not, was a different matter. The most interesting thing about this book was when at the end both Heath and Cat showed their true colors and basically walked out on each other, no matter this great love that was bigger than the ocean. I thought it was very strange that it was all fixed with a k...
This is a modern re-telling of Wuthering Heights and although it is dark and intense, it does have a HEA ending, so don' worry there's no suicide/death/haunting ending! Heath and Cat have been inseparable since childhood. Soul mates in every sense of the word. But then one day, the morning after they make love for the first time, Heath leaves town without a word, leaving Cat devastated. She doesn't hear from him again.Four years later, Cat has rebuilt her life. She's in College, she is a sororit...
