GoodReads Summary:
It started with unspoken animosity. The bitter bite of jealousy. And now its full blown hate.
It was during my first football game that I first felt the first chill of hate. I looked it right in the eyes and felt its sticky tentacles reach out for me. I’d never experienced something so cold and empty before.
The effect of that look lingered, like an unspoken promise, long after it was gone.
Becoming a couple – becoming the other half of a campus celebrity wasn’t easy. I let down walls guarding my heart and he looked past my glasses and accident prone tendencies. Romeo and I are an unlikely match, a #nerd and a jock. But we made it.

And we’re happy.

Zach doesn’t want us to be happy. He wants Romeo to pay for getting him kicked out of Omega and for the night he spent in jail. He’s going to use anything and everything he can to get his revenge. Including me.

As the weather on campus grows cold and the days become dark, revenge becomes the center of someone’s life and the happiness Romeo and I worked so hard for is threatened.
I can’t help but worry that our love is going to be overshadowed by hate.
Review:
I am honestly in love with this series. I would go straight to #Player if I could but I have some review books to get to first.

So, in #Hater we start a little bit after the end of #Nerd. Rimmel and Romeo immediately sweep you off your feet by how much they care for one another.

Unfortunately for them, someone, a #Hater, if you will, is determined to make their lives a living hell.

This book was very thrilling in multiple ways. We have the thrill of getting lost in love and everything that comes with that. We also experience the thrill of the game and of danger.  There are a lot of dangerous situations that Rimmel is put in and, though we know she isn't a weak little girl, it's nice to learn how strong she is and see where her strengths and weaknesses lie.

I can't wait to find out what happens with Romeo and Rimmel next.

Rating: 5 Stars.
Character: Romeo and Rimmel

GoodReads Summary:
Julie Preston is an artist. But her canvas isn’t paper or clay. It’s hair. She spends her days coloring, blow drying and styling her clients hair at the Razor’s Edge salon. Julie is also annoyed. She went out on a date and had a great time, gave the guy her number and the jerk never called.
So when he waltzes into the salon and sits down in her chair she briefly considers strangling him with the pink cape she fastens around his neck.
Too bad she can’t.
Blue Markson, the guy who never called, is a police officer so causing him bodily harm would be a first class ticket into the slammer. Just looking at him again makes Julie forget why she was mad in the first place, but she’s already learned that Blue is nothing but heartache. So when he starts coming around, acting like he hadn’t made her stare at the phone for days, she tries to brush him off.
Only…
Her life is about to blow up in her face, she’s about to get caught up in a sticky web of crime and the one guy who can help her is the one guy she vowed never to trust again.
Review:
I got a little behind on the books as they came out after reading Tease. I still hadn't read the third book when this one came out and I know they're standalones but I refuse to read them out of order. As soon as I saw the cover for Tipsy, I knew I had to read it.

This book is just as great as the others, but I have to admit that it took me longer to read than any of the others in the series so far. It was good but it didn't suck me in as much as the other books.  I really did enjoy the story and the characters were great. Cambria Hebert is wonderful at creating believable and relateable characters and settings. Blue was a great character and I think I enjoyed that piercings just as much as Julie did.

The only bad thing about being caught up with the series is that now I have to wait for Tricks! (This review was written prior to Tricks being released).

Rating: 3 Stars.
Character: Blue.

Review: Text by Cambria Hebert

GoodReads Summary:
One text can change everything.

Honor Calhoun never thought her life would ever be like the books she writes for a living. One morning while out for a run, she learns not all bad things are plots in novels. Some horrors can actually come true. She faces off with a persistent attacker, holds her own, but in the end is taken hostage and thrown into a hole. In the middle of the woods.

But Honor didn't go down there alone. She took her kidnapper's phone with her. With a spotty signal and a dying battery, her hope is slim.

Nathan Reed is an active duty Marine stationed at a small reserve base in Pennsylvania. All he wants is a calm and uneventful duty station where he can forget the memories of his time in a war-torn country. But a single text changes everything. Nathan becomes Honor's only hope for survival, and he has to go against the clock, push aside his past, and take on a mission for a girl he's never met.

Both of them want freedom... but they have to survive long enough to obtain it.
Review:
 This book was amazing!  For some reason I was expecting it to be different than it was.  I didn't read the synopsis though so that could be why.

Also, remember me saying that Nash from Tempt was my new favorite book boyfriend? Yeah, forget that!  Nathan definitely takes his place!

I really enjoyed this story. It kept me glued to the book and I couldn't get enough of it.  I've seriously fallen in love with the writings of Cambria Hebert. Text was an equal amount of yumminess, suspense, action and romance.

This series has seriously hooked me and I'm just happy that Cambria writes really quickly so that I don't have to wait very long for the next one.

Overall, I really really enjoyed Text and can't wait to read Tipsy.

Rating:  4 Stars.
Character: Nathan.
