When You're Ready (Ready #1)

When You're Ready

This was a sweet and emotional book, that got me addicted to the story to the point that I was unable to put the book down. It was my first time reading a book by J.L Berg and I really loved the writing style because she managed to put so much emotion in the characters though the dual point style of writing.  I loved Clare's character because she was a strong independent single mother and widow who survived her husbands illness and  death. Logan's character was the cliche because he was the rich heart broken playboy who reforms after love at first sight, but I did enjoy his character development. The chemistry and romance between Clare and Logan was hot and sweet at the same time, which was really enjoyable. I liked the secondary characters of Logan and Clare's friends as they brought a sense of family to the book. I wished that the book showed more of Logan's profession or even interactions with his father and sister because the book was too perfect and really lacked the drama  needed to make it excellent. I would have also like to see part of Logan's recovery at the end because that part was  rushed and not given much importance. Overall this was a great book filled with emotions and I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the series. 

Rating: 4/5

Resisting Roots (Lotus House #1)

Resisting Roots

This is my first time reading a yoga based book as well as the first time reading a book by Audrey Carlan and I must say that I really enjoyed the experience. I am someone who knows basically nothing about yoga and this book helps even the beginner understand the lingo and the different postures, this makes the book easy to read. Audrey's writing was good and I loved the dual point of view style of writing as well as the sense of family she added into the book. Genevieve' character was a strong independent woman who was left to shoulder the responsibility of her siblings after their parents died and I really enjoyed the mature personality that the author gave her as well as how she was always putting her family needs first. Trent's character was brilliantly developed as he grew as a person from a player to a family man over the entire novel. The chemistry between Trent and Genevieve was extremely hot especially with the inclusion of the yoga. The secondary characters of both Trent and Genevieve families were well written and added to the depth of the novel. I only wished that there was more of the sporting side included as well as more drama. Overall this was a great book with the combination of romance, yoga and family and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
