This was a DNF for me. First, trying to overlook the name Neveah was impossible. That name annoys the crap out of me (and I am a teacher-I have seen some ridiculously annoying names but this one is the top of my annoying list). Second, the plot was off for me. I can't exactly say it was slow, but maybe I thought it was. Maybe it just didn't click with me. Whatever the reason, I just could not get into this book. It had all the markings of a perfect read for me: bad boy, MMA, and danger. It just didn't hold my attention.
Will this be one I revisit in the future? Maybe. Perhaps I just couldn't get into it now and might be able to later.… (mere)

Where You Are is such a great read. There is a lot of humor, and some pretty dark subjects that are confronted in this book.

I love Laney. She’s pretty strong, and doesn’t let too many things get to her. She shows just how loyal of a friend she is, even when she thinks what she is doing is a bad idea. She’s intelligent, and has friends that support her, and try to help her through whatever she’s facing. The only problem is she won’t tell them what. She’s haunted by a decision made in the past, and will not let herself get past it. I absolutely freaking love Lachlan. He’s your typical bad boy, and does some things that are straightforward. He tries to get Laney to open up to him, but she’s adamant about not letting him back into her life.

The constant tension between Laney and Lachlan is intense. You can almost see it when they are even in the same room. I don’t like, or agree with, what Laney does to make Aiden pay for being a complete jerk. It definitely isn’t always pretty or nice. But Aiden seriously needs a reality check with how he treats these girls he meets. No matter what the circumstances are she always ends up being in the same space as both Aiden and Lachlan, and it’s getting harder for her to play by her own rules.

Where You Are is an amazing read, and makes you realize you can’t punish yourself for things you did in the past. The best way to get through things is accept it, and try to move on.… (mere)

Redemption is a great book. It's gritty, sexy, intense, and had my attention from the very first word.
