Review: Laces

 


Title: Laces

Series: Boys of Hawthorne Asylum 

Author: Tempi Lark

Release Date: January 31



Welcome to Hawthorne Asylum. 


Welcome to hell. 


This place isn’t run by the doctors who make you talk or the orderlies who force you to swallow your pills. 


It belongs to them, to the Infamous Four. 


Tabloids, talk shows, documentaries—their faces have been plastered everywhere. Not because of their impressive rap sheets, but because of how they look. 


And when I arrive, they take notice. Especially their king: Lincoln “Laces” Caster. 


He’s dark and disturbed. 


He’s controlling and possessive.


The exact kind of boy I should stay away from if I want to clear my name and get out of here. 


* This is an upper-YA bully romance not intended for readers under seventeen. This book may contain triggers for some readers.



Gambrielle arrived at Hawthorne Asylum. A place not run by the doctors, or orderlies but by the infmous four. The legends that were plastered on documentaries and talk shows, and tabloids. 

All she wanted to do was keep her head down, until she could get out on good behavior. 

But they noticed her upon her arrival. Especially their leader- the one running the place- Laces Caster. He is dark, disturbed, controlling and possessive. Exactly the type of guy Gambrielle should stay away from... If only it was that easy. 


Oh my!!!

This book. It was unlike anything I have read before. But it left me wanting more. I wanted to dive deeper into the characters, and know every little thing about them, and find out more about the story that was unfurling and taking place. I love me a good bully romance, and this wasn't any different. 

Gambrielle was a sweet southern Belle, who was dropped off at the asylum in hopes of being out of sight, out of mind, and out of the way. She didn't belong. But no one believed her. 

Laces was disturbed, with his greusome drawings. He was controlling, running what went on in the asylum. And was possessive, and now had his eyes set on the new girl. They didn't exactly see eye to eye. 

But they made an unlikely pair. And I cannot wait to see how the story unfolds. 4 ⭐ out of 5⭐.

Release Blitz: Overachiever

 


OVERACHIEVER

By S.M. Shade

Release Date: January 28




It started with a summer job and a ridiculous sex dream.


If you were to ask my friends to describe me, they’d tell you I’m an ambitious person. Responsible, driven, and focused on my goals. Words like stubborn and uptight would probably get thrown in there too. I’m not sure about that, but I know who I’m not.


I’m not the woman who lets a guy derail me from my plans. Watching others make that mistake has taught me well. No serious dating. No relationship until I’m successfully settled into my career. That’s the promise I made to myself and I’m determined to keep it.


Despite being an excellent student, there’s one lesson I fear I’ve learned too late. Funny men aren’t as harmless as they seem and should be avoided at all times. They sneak in under your radar and end up under your skirt. One second you’re laughing. The next you’re hunting for your underwear on a hotel room floor. Believe me, it’s not worth it.


If only my heart would stop screaming louder than my brain, I might be able to believe that Owen falls into that category. He’s my friend, but every day we spend together in this hotel, or working on our summer job building houses for charity, the harder it gets to convince myself we shouldn’t be more.


Years of diligence, and I’m being destroyed by a goofy smile.



Remee is responsible, driven, and stubborn. So when she starts her new summer job to help gain her credits for school, it's no surprise she plans to make the most of it. 

Owen is sweet, funny, and easy going. And definitely not the worse choice for a summer fling. Friends, co-workers and temporary roommates, what is the worst that can happen?
Honestly, I loved this book. It made me snort with laughter multiple times. It was exactly what I needed to wind down for the week, and I devoured it in a few hours. 
This book was funny with it's sweet moments and light hearted and helped me escape for a few hours. It was great being back in violent Circle and enjoying the crazy once again. 5 ⭐ out of 5⭐. 
Ps- to my fiance who was judging my humor. Shut up, it was funny. Unlike the meme you showed me earlier... 🙄😂😂 Unsuspecting guy grabbing a dildo? Hilarious. Joke about guy drinking brake fluid and can stop whenever he wants... Also funny but not as funny. Ok carry on. 😂😂😂
