Did I buy this just for the new bonus scenes YES, did I also buy it because I love these books one THOUSAND percent. fall more in love with these couples as the fella’s plan their first official dates with their ladies. Admirer #1 learns not to take a bookworm into a bookstore and tell her to go wild, Admirer #2 having a make out session at an MLB game on national tv. Admirer 3 takes his to the movies to show off his thoughts on the mind of what the director sees behind the lens. Admirer 4 was used to being head-to-head with his lady even though she has him in trail phase and their romance in school and out of school were very different will he get a yes during this date. Finally, number 5 he was invested in helping for every month solve clues he got his turn to woooo his lady and keeping it simple is key. these bonus scenes didn’t disappoint at all I’m always loving this world.

Everyone at Ryder High knows what it means to have a teal envelope taped to their locker on the first of the month.
This month is different.
This month belongs to Max Newman. Prankster, jokester, overall funny guy. And the first student to ever receive a teal envelope from a girl.
The Secret Admirers organization switched things up. They allowed a girl to be the admirer, and Max is about to make history.
One problem—he only has three weeks to complete an entire bingo board. Some of the things on it are out of his control. Some things are right up his alley, though, like serenading the principal and pranking his best friend.
Will Max finish the bingo board and get the reveal location?
Or will he become the first guy at Ryder High to fail his challenge?

Dear Max, the laugh of Ryder High this month it’s your chance to shine brighter then you already do. One lovely lady picked you to forever change the history with our game, so have fun, enjoy and hope you are happy at the end of these 3 weeks. Having a teal envelope go to a guy indeed of a girl was out of the normal but it’s still fun for all involved. Max was thrilled about his envelope, his ego inflated just a bit more, and then he found out he only had 3 weeks to blackout his bingo board and get his clues. But Max hopes that the girl behind this month is the one who got away who he has never stopped loving, but he can’t get his hopes up incase it’s not her. Omg I loved Max’s month laughing so hard, enjoy all that he was giving defiantly a great one to end this series.

Everyone at Ryder High knows what it means to have a teal envelope taped to their locker on the first day of the month.
The envelope is part of a tradition called the Secret Admirers, something the students go crazy for.
After tragedy struck, no one thought there would be an admirer this month.
However, a little late, a teal envelope shows up on Phoebe Calloway’s locker.
And with it, an ongoing playlist to use as clues toward the admirer’s identity.
It’s music to Phoebe’s ears—especially since music is her biggest passion. But she soon finds out it’s not the melody that’s important in the songs her admirer chose.

It’s the lyrics.
As the songs keep coming, she’s close to figuring out who he is—but is she prepared for the actual reveal?

New Year, new group of kids to walk the halls of Ryder High. But this year we start with them at the cemetery mourning the loss of a beloved member of Ryder High, and everyone getting a teal envelope explaining the start of the running tradition at the school. the next day only one envelope was seen on Phoebe’s locker but liked every month Phoebe wonders why her, why was she picked she stayed to herself and spent extra time in the music booth perfecting her tapes for college. Well ready or not this guy took the saying “when words fail music speaks” for her clues. Will Phoebe be shocked, surprised, excited or not thrilled when her month is up, and he is revealed. Other than making me cry in the first 3 pages, this was another amazing month with a great story that makes you smile in the end.

Quinn Maguire has her sights set on one thing, and one thing only: softball.
After a disaster last season left her injured, she’s determined to come back better than ever and prove herself.
Her plans are slightly altered when she gets a teal envelope on her locker. She won’t let it distract her from her plans, though. If it does, she’ll quit the secret admirer game before she loses softball.
But when her admirer sends her on a chase across town to find geocaches, she’s confused. None of the clues make sense to her.

And days before her first game, she finds herself back where she was last year—on the bench.
Now Quinn needs to figure out what is actually most important to her– softball or the people in her life who love her?

Everyone at Ryder High knows what it means to have a teal envelope taped to their locker on the first day of the month.
For Wyatt Anderson, it seems like an April Fool’s Day prank.
She quickly realizes it’s not, but the way her secret admirer sends his clues might just be.
Wyatt is one of the smartest girls in school, but the ciphers she’s given to decode really test her abilities.
On top of that, the answers she uncovers make no sense. Until she realizes how to connect all the clues together…
The other problem? She finds herself around one of her tutoring clients more often than usual… and with that proximity comes some feelings she wasn’t expecting.
It all comes down to the last letter and the last clue. Can she solve the toughest one yet or will she throw in the towel for another guy?

One of Ryder Highs bright, smart and bubbly tutors is about to get her turn in the spotlight Wyatt Anderson got her famous teal envelope and was now this month’s “IT” girl. Which at first was difficult because she’s already on the shorter side and didn’t know what the crowd was gathered around, but the closer she got to her locker she quickly figured it out. Wyatt may have gotten her envelope on April Fools, but this was no prank, now she had clues to solve, classmates to tutor and keeping up with her life and own schoolwork. Follow Wyatt as she decodes this month’s clues and tries to figure out who the guy is while her heart starts to fall for someone who might not be behind the letters. This might be my favorite book yet (shh don’t tell Max) I loved Wyatt, her guy and their friends.

One thing Gemma cares about is her wolves, she will do anything to help them safe Being the third generation to be the owner of the wolf sanctuary Gemma took this job seriously, lots of stress came with it, and being in debt was a huge factor of the stress, she still loved every minute though. The town folks hated having her wolves around and close to their livestock but with cameras all over her property, Gemma knew what was going on. but when a mystery man showed up claiming to be a part of the wildlife organization and claiming to have Gemma under investigation wasn’t the first time, she has heard that, but something was different about this guy and he made her feel different, she was at odds with her feelings and about him and he had feelings right back for her.

Teresa Gabelman is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the ‘Protectors Series.’ When not writing about sexy alpha vampires and the women who drive them crazy, she can be found on a lake with a fishing pole/Kindle, at an MMA event, or spending a fun evening with family.

i was given this book by the author here is my honest review

Marlowe a local year-round resident of Covington Cove, she loves living on the Cove with her grandmum.

#WOTR25 #Review – Given: Project Xol (Book 6) by Audrey Kaye/Amabel Daniels

Leave a comment

Taken to a Xol lab, Cassidy prepares to meet the one woman who’s never wanted her. It’s not clear why the scientist requires her now, but she hangs on to two hopes—that Luke has gotten away and is safe, and that the vial of genetic material they’d fought to protect is destroyed. Life isn’t fair, but she pushes aside the cruelty of losing Luke so soon after finding his love. Survival, however it may come, is imperative, because she refuses to fail in ending the diabolical “cure.”Stranded in Mexico, Luke must contact the one person he’s always wanted to keep from danger. It doesn’t take much to convince his brother to be his backup in rescuing Cassidy from Project Xol’s team, and soon, the brothers follow her trail. Even with the help of the billionaire who’d once funded the research, it seems impossible to take down such a corrupt team hellbent on unethical experiments and producing something that can change the world forever. Despite the odds against them, they can only fight until the end, hoping they have made it in time…Given is the final book of the Project Xol series.

Holy what the heck in the Jason Bourne did I just finish reading?!?!?! Project Xol for the win!!!

Cassidy is one of my all time favorite characters. She started out as a meek and timid character but her strong badassedness had shown through time and time again. And she does not disappoint in Given. She is literally at the end of her rope but she knows she needs to do the right thing. She is out of tricks and out of rescuers. BUT, the tricks and rescuers are on their way. Even though she is adopted, she is such a pure and genuine person that she has made strong and unwavering friendships with others that become her family. And they are coming to help her. She has to take down her blood family and the diabolical “cure” as it is wrong. A new human subspecies….um, no thank you! When all things seem against you, monsters against humans, you have to pull out all the stops. When you have overcome so many episodes of hell, you can’t just stop. They do not stop. Not til the very end.

This entire series is a page turner! You will keep going and going and going. There is not one part of this series that I would change. Bravo!

#WOTR25 #Review – Reclaim: Project Xol (Book 5) by Audrey Kaye/Amabel Daniels

Leave a comment

Reunited with one of the Project’s original researchers held captive at a cartel compound, Cassidy is tasked with delivering answers about a so-called miracle drug. She struggles with the fear of being separated from Luke, anticipating he’ll be harmed unless she cooperates. The details the cartel wants aren’t forthcoming, and instead, she’s instructed to find another Project colleague in another city. Luke doesn’t sit still once he’s parted from Cassidy. The danger in this jungle is unlike any peril he faced in prison or on the streets, but using his head—and ignoring the ache in his heart at losing what he’s sure is love—he plans an escape.

Once they’re on their way, however, he still lacks the chance to tell Cassidy how much she means to him.They leave behind death and horror to find a scientist in the city. Wrought with doubt and confronted with hostility, they realize they have the key pieces to ending Project Xol. Faced with the responsibility of destroying the resources that could save many lives, decisions are harder to make. And when it becomes clear Cassidy is expected to be reunited with her family, the stakes are higher than ever.

Reclaim is the fifth book in the Project Xol series, which continues in Given.

Review by Twinsie Kelly

And here we go again! Within the clutches of the cartel trying to get to the bottom of Project Xol and exactly what Cassidy’s purpose is, is becoming more and more difficult. Hendrick and Cassidy are reunited but Hendrick is in a bad way. He is able to answer some questions but some of his answers just bring up even more questions (I hate it when that happens!). Escaping was going to be difficult enough but saving anyone on the way is a suicide mission. Turns out luck was still hanging around for this hellish ride for Cassidy and Luke. As Tramer continues to come along for the craziness, everyone gets split up, chaos ensues and no one is who you think they are. This story will literally keep you on your toes. There are twists that you have no idea are coming, then BAM! The next cliffhanger!!!! Come along with me to the next book, Given, for the final ride!
