SYNOPSIS:
A good girl who’s trying not to be bad…
Olivia has never been able to please her parents, no matter how hard she tries. Getting a good job, along with her own apartment, has given her some confidence, but their approval is still important to her. She needs help to keep up her perfect image, and unfortunately, Luke Griffin’s her only option. Sure he’s hot and every girl on campus wants him, but he also terrorized her almost a year ago. She can’t forget that.

A bad boy who’s really good…
Living in his brothers’ shadows has never been easy for Luke. He’s made some bad choices in order to distance himself from the constant comparisons to them. Like sleeping his way through college, and hanging out with the wrong guys. He gave that all up almost a year ago, choosing to focus on school and the hockey league he plays in. When he’s asked to tutor Olivia, he jumps at the chance to show her that he’s not the guy she—and everyone else—thinks he is.

A love so good, it can’t be bad…
Nights of tutoring and hockey games soon lead to romance. As Olivia learns to trust in Luke, her love makes him realize that just being himself is enough. But when her parents’ dislike of Luke threatens to destroy her family, she begs him to keep their relationship a secret. When that secret’s revealed, will Olivia make the right choice or will Luke be left behind once again?

Can you learn to love yourself enough to trust someone else?

RENEE'S REVIEW

This book was gifted to me by the author (thank you) in exchange for an honest review.


Learning to Love by Crystal Perkins is the fourth book in the Griffin Brothers series.  Learning to Love is a story about just that younger adults learning what it is to be in a real relationship.  Learning how to nurture a relationship, talk to each other, and honestly care for each other.


Luke is the youngest Griffin brother, he has always lived in his brothers shadows. Scott is the smartest, Ryan has the most athletic, and Owen, well he is the life of the party.  He has felt like he's never lived up to the Griffin name.  He doesn't want to be part of the family business, instead he wants to be a teacher.

Oliver has always tried to live up to her parents expectations. She is a good girl, she pays her own way in school, she is working, and pays for her own apartment.  She does everything in her power to show them that she lives up to their high standards but they still look down on her.

About a year ago, Luke and Olivia was in an unusual situation at a bar that made Olivia think poorly of Luke.  When Olivia needs help in English and gets a tutor, she isn't very happy to see that it is Luke.  Luke has change his playboy ways since the last time they saw each other.  He wants a chance to show her how much he has changed and thinks this tutoring gig just might do the trick. 

They soon start dating, but not without communication problems. Then with her overbearing parents, things can get pretty sticky. Feeling can get hurt real fast and bad decisions make things even worst.  These kind of things happen with young love, especially when you still feel like your under your parents thumb.  Then when secrets come out and it still seems like decisions are being made that will hurt them both.  All of these problems can be solved with communication!! If there is one thing common about these Griffin boys, besides being very loyal, is that they are stubborn and hard headed.

Tears will fall when you read this novel. The good thing with Perkins, she always promises to leave us with a happily ever after.  

I give Learning to Love 5 Platypires
or 5 sweet stars, however you like to count things

RENEE'S REVIEW

I was gifted this book from the publisher (thank you) in exchange for a honest review.

Hiding Out by Nicole Andrews Moore, is a book about facing your fears and turning your life around. What do you do when you have hit rock bottom and you have no where else to turn? When your a loner, without a family and you have a dark secret, I know what I would do, I would do the same thing Haley did, run! Get the heck out of Dodge, as they day.

Haley is a loner, sudden noises sets her off and makes her nervous.  She tries not to draw any attention to herself from guys. She dresses down, dyes her, she doesn't want to be found, she is hiding out.  Using a fake name she settles herself in New York City and takes a temp. job.  She is way over qualified for this job but she thinks this is her best option to hide. out.

Sam runs the family advertising business and he realizes that his temporary assistant Haley has something going on but he can't put his finger on it. He is wealthy and practically the most eligible bachelor of NYC. He comes across to be in complete control, and seems cold and always gets his way. He takes his job serious, and Hailey is really good at her job.  Sam is ready to make a change in his life, a different type of woman is what he is looking for now!

I loved the flow of this book and I fell head over hills for Sam! He was really swoon worthy!  Ms. Moore does an outstanding job in her character development, they were believable and lovable. This book was a page turner.  I glad to see a strong woman in a book, that is what I see Haley as, even being nervous, scared, and running, she was still a strong woman.  She did what she needed to do in order to protect herself, that's strong in my book!  I really want book 2 now!!


I give Hiding Out by Nicole Andrews Moore 4 Platypires

Renee's Review

Mia Sheridian, write beautiful unique love stories, and Leo's Chance is just that. It should be read after Leo and it is in her Sign of Love Series. This is Jake/Leo's POV. It gives us an in depth look at Leo's life after his adoption. Sheridian does a great job letting us into Leo's head.  I wish she would let me see in my husband's head but, I don't think she works like that.

This book jumps from present day to prior days of Jakes recovery in the hospital (you will get this info in the his first book so no spoiler here). This is where we find out a lot about the abuse his step-mother **cough cough monster) abused him and his doctor is trying to get him to heal. Poor Leo, let me help you, (wait does that make me like the step-monster.... gross!).

You really get to see his true feelings for Evie, and I got a better understanding why his mind was so damaged that he couldn't keep his promise to Evie when she 18. 

The ending, was fantastic!!!! It made my day!!! The Epilogue was sweet and made tear up.. but I didn't ugly cry! (thank goodness, because I didn't have time to re-do the make-up.
