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.

GoodReads Summary:
**This is a new adult contemporary novel and contains sexual content and graphic language. It is not intended for young adult readers.***
Stranded and alone with not one, but two wickedly enticing men.
Ava arrives at the airport, expecting to board a commercial flight to Puerto Rico. But a plane ticket isn’t waiting for her. Instead, she finds a guy with dark curly hair wearing seriously ratty jeans and holding a sign with her name on it.
He may not look like a pilot, but he is. And he’s her ride.
So now it’s just Nash and her on a tiny tin can of a plane flying over the Atlantic. When a thunderstorm comes out of nowhere, it proves to be too much for the little aircraft.
Ava and Nash plunge from the sky and end up on an uncharted deserted island.
Stranded.
As if that isn’t bad enough, Ava starts to desire more than just rescue—hunger for more than food. Nash is only too happy to oblige… but it seems they might not be as alone as they thought.
And Nash might have some competition in claiming Ava’s body… and her heart.
Review:
Just like the rest of the Take It Off series so far, I absolutely loved this book. Cambria Hebert is so gifted at just sucking you into a book and then never letting you go.

This book was absolutely amazing and I couldn't get enough of it. I won't lie, I noticed a few spelling and grammatical errors (this review was written when the book was first released but never posted. I am unaware if any changes have been made to the book since then) but honestly the story itself and the characters were so good and so easy to lose yourself in that a few simple mistakes really don't mean anything.

I definitely plan to continue this series and have to say that so far, Nash is my favorite male character from the books up to this point. He was yummy and knew what he was doing in their horrible situation.

I cannot wait to read Text and find out what Cambria has in store for us next!

Rating: 4 Stars.
Favorite Character: Nash.

Review: Lays Kettle Cooked Wasabi Ginger Flavored Potato Chips

*I purchased this item myself.
*Review was originally written when product was first released.

SCENT
I almost think these smell like the Lays Salt & Vinegar chips, which I like. So that's definitely not a bad thing.

TASTE
I've never actually tasted Wasabi, so I'm not really capable of comparing the two flavors. I will say that there is a very tangy, almost vinegar-y taste though.

I do know that wasabi is supposed to be spicy and these chips do have a little bit of  a kick to them, some chips having more than others.  The spice does go away pretty quickly and isn't so intense that you cannot eat them.  As a person that doesn't care much for spicy foods, I can say that I would eat these again.

So far, out of all of the new flavors, these are my favorite. The only thing I didn't like about these chips is that they are kettle cooked.  I'm not a fan of kettle cooked chips. I like my chips to be thinner and crispier.

Would I Repurchase? Maybe.
Would I Recommend? Yes.
