SYNOPSIS:

“This is Brit rom-com at its finest. Fans of Bridget Jones will love this.” – TotallyBooked Blog

An Amazon UK and international bestselling romantic comedy novel.

What do you do when the guy you’re in love with is seeing someone else?

That’s the dilemma facing Paige Taylor. All of her life she’s only ever had eyes for the gorgeous Alec Wright, but despite their undeniable chemistry, their timing has always been off. Fast approaching her thirtieth birthday, Paige despairs of ever finding love and a happy ever after. Her best friend Poppie tells her that she can either watch life pass her by, or grab it with both hands. She convinces Paige to throw herself back into the dating pool, or she could be waiting for Alec forever.

What Paige didn’t expect was the catalogue of dating disasters to follow. A neck brace, jelly fish, stitches, flashing and an encounter with a gorilla were some of the most memorable. Despite some downright hilarious, humiliating and cringe worthy dates, her biological clock is ticking and Paige is determined to keep trying until she finds the one.

Was Alec Wright always her Mr. Right, or is he still out there waiting to be found?

Join Paige in her quest to find the ultimate prize. Love.

Charlotte Fallowfield’s alter-ego, C.J. Fallowfield, is an Amazon #1 bestselling author of humorous erotic romance novels.

My hands started shaking, my heart was racing, and my stomach fluttered as I drank him in. I was going to be in love with this man until I took my last breath, there was no point fighting it.

I am a really huge Rom/Com lover and consider myself so lucky to have been offered an arc of this lovely book. My biggest regret is that I took so long to get to it but I’m so happy that I finally got the chance to read it. UNTIL WE COLLIDE was an utterly delightful story with the most lovable Heroine and beyond swoon worthy Hero! I have found a new author to stalk because after having read this book that I consider perfection, Charlotte Fallowfield has now become an automatic must read for me.

UNTIL WE COLLIDE could be categorized as a friends-to-lovers & second chance romance story. Although I have to advise that the relationship between Paige and Alec spans over thirteen years. Thirteen years of never being on the same wavelength. Thirteen years of seemingly unrequited love! My heart hurt for these two time and time again.

Paige and Alec meet when they are both members of Shropshire’s Young Farmers Club. Paige was only seventeen when she fell hard for the beautiful Alec Wright, who was four years older than her. But at the time he was dating a really horrible girl who took pleasure in being cruel, especially towards Paige. On her senior prom night, Paige’s best friend, Poppie, sets her up with someone. To Paige’s utter surprise and delight, her mystery date turns out to be Alec. He’s finally single and has had a crush on Paige since he first met her at the YFC, even though she is a hopeless clutz who has a tendency to wind up being center stage during highly embarrassing moments. The girl actually had the misfortune of being showered in cow poo during a club competition. But just as things seem to be starting between them a once in a lifetime job opportunity is given to Paige which will take her to a different country, far from London, where Alec is going to be starting his career in photography. So the two end up going their separate ways and what could have been a truly special romance ends before it even had a chance to get started.

Three years later, Paige is back home and on a whim she goes to London to apply for a modeling job. She had run into Alec once while she was visiting her parents and he had suggested that she become a model. Paige ends up getting the job because of her look and also due to the fact that the owner of the agency happens to be a very close friend of Alec’s. She soon runs into Alec once again. Three years have passed but the feelings she has for him are still strong, but Alec is moving to New York and has a girlfriend, which totally breaks Paige’s heart. They do manage to remain friends and Alec even rents out his London apartment to her and Poppie.

 

Funnily Dressed Chihuahua for Cold Weather

For the next ten years, these two will never get it right. When Paige is single and wanting to give it another go with Alec, he will be involved with another woman, and when Alec is available then Paige isn’t. I nearly lost my mind!! You can’t help but root for these two to finally get their acts together. Ten years they waste being involved with the wrong people. Living in complete denial. How they both couldn’t see that they were perfect for each other, was beyond me!! Paige does get involved with a series of losers and ends up in more than one embarrassing situation, which had me in stitches!! The poor girl never seemed to catch a break.

UNTIL WE COLLIDE was a truly enjoyable read, filled with a ton of hilarious moments and has one of the most endearing heroines that will steal your hearts! This book is a hidden treasure that deserves to be shared by all!! I HIGHLY recommend this one!! You will not be disappointed.

*****Dee’s Review*****

5 BRIGHT STARS*****

MUST READ ALERT! MUST READ ALERT! MUST READ ALERT! MUST READ ALERT!

I had a blast reading Until We Collide. A sweet romance that had me laughing from beginning to end. This is the exact kind of book I love to read, one that was designed to make people happy. Full of romance, angst, and laughs, Until We Collide is a true gem of a read.

Paige Taylor has had feelings for her friend Alec Wright for a long time. Since he gave her, her first kiss, he also took ownership of her heart. Their romance was brief but powerful, life took them in completely opposite directions. Work, relationships, and great distances have made impossible timing for Alec and Paige to be together.

Throughout the years Alec and Paige run into each other. He becomes a very successful fashion photographer and Paige, even if it’s by accident becomes a highly sought out model in the same industry. They have some of the same friends and run in the same circles, and every time they run into each other, the chemistry is always amazing but timing is never on their side. All this creates a pattern that leaves one, or both of them feeling broken hearted.

 

21759782-_sy540_

 

Paige’s best friend Poppie has been witness of her friend’s mishaps with love, and in order to finally put an end to all the sad stories, she convinces Paige to start dating and try to move on from Alec.

Paige is a clumsy girl; she’s always tripping, falling or running into places, people, and things. And when it comes to love she is no different. We experience with Paige her hilarious and unbelievable journey as she goes from bad dates to worse dates ever!!!

Her friendship with Poppie is the one thing throughout the years Paige can always count on. At the end of each heartbreak and each disaster, her friend is there with wine, ice cream, and a way to make her laugh again as Paige tries to forget the love of her life by dating other guys.

 

21744676-_sx540_

 

Every character in this story was perfection. Of course, they all had flaws and that is what makes this book so relatable and easy to read. This author created a story that was truly magical. It wasn’t all about the love, it was also about a girl who struggled with body image issues, career decisions, money problems, or bad dates, just like any of us might struggle too in our daily lives. But she always had a laugh at the end of it all. And that was my favorite thing about this book.

If you are looking for a perfectly executed romantic comedy, that has angst, love, and amazing characters, look no further, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU! I promise it’s not an overly sweet, silly romance. If I had read this book when it first came out, it would have most definitely made my top ten favorite list of the year. I’m really looking forward to reading more books from this author in the future.

AP new - synopsis.jpg

 

Nina can’t let herself fall in love with the man she’s going to marry. Both of them have experienced the sting and sham of love and have no intentions of falling victim to it twice. Love is expensive—hate is free.

Three years. A million dollars. A solution to both of their problems. They planned it all, from the story of their first meeting to the date of their divorce. Nothing could go wrong.

But what they didn’t consider was chemistry, and Nina and Max have no shortage of it. After too many near-kisses, Nina convinces herself that hating Max is better than loving him, and the more she gets to know this soon-to-be-husband of hers, the more she discovers just how very much she truly, madly, and deeply . . . hates him.

This isn’t a love story. This is the other kind.

 

“Okay. So how do you think this is going?” Max tipped the broom handle between us. “You and me?”
My forehead pinched together. “You and me the plan? Or you and me the surprise?”
Max’s brow answered my question.
“And this topic is what you consider not-so-deep?” I nudged him and moved to finish stocking syrups.
“All I’m looking for is a simple estimation. Since we were just talking about school, give us a grade for how you think this is going.”
“A grade? Like A, B, C, D, F?”
“Exactly like that.”
I shook my head. “Did you have a rough day at work today? Lose an Olympic-size swimming pool of money or something? Are you needing your daily ego stroking to come from somewhere else today?” When I glanced back at him, I found Max leaning into the door he’d relocked, arms crossed and waiting.
“Our relationship is unique,” he said. “Intricate. I’m asking not because I need my ego stroked, but because I care. If I need to make some changes, I’m willing to. Anything you need, whatever you want, that’s what I’ll give you. But first, I have to know how I’m doing.”
If a man could get a woman pregnant from a piercing stare and a collection of words, I’d just gotten myself good and knocked up. With twins.
“You know how it’s going,” I said, trying to focus on the syrups instead of what—or who—I wanted to focus on.
“I know how I think it’s going. I’d like to know how you think it’s going.”
My mouth went a little dry. Having these kinds of talks was hard for anyone—they were next to impossible for me. “Well, you haven’t gone and confessed your undying love or scared the hell out of me by asking me to be your baby mama, so you’re keeping your promise to take it nice and slow.” When he gave a mini bow, I rolled my eyes. “Not to mention you aren’t too shabby in the sack, you don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink, and you share the remote well.”
Max’s face went flat. “Not too shabby?”
“Oh, please. You know how good you are. Stop fishing for compliments.” A flush crept up my neck as I thought of the most recent evidence to support that theory.
A slow, crooked smile spread across his face. “I want a grade.”
“Like comprehensive? Or broken down by category?” I was stalling, and Max knew I was stalling.
“You’re making this way too difficult,” he grumbled.
“An A minus,” I said abruptly. “I’d give you an A minus.”
“Why not an A plus?”
I kept my head turned so he couldn’t see my smile. Only Max Sturm would be outraged by an A minus. “Because there’s always room for improvement. And I wouldn’t want it to go to your head, that’s why not an A plus.”
The door creaked when he shoved off of it. He made no move to tame the way he was checking me out, leaning into the counter as I organized the syrups. “Something’s definitely going to my head.”
My gaze roamed his zipper region. “I was talking about the one north of your neck.”
“And I’m talking about the one at the end of my dick. My, at present, hard dick, thanks to you.” He came up behind me, fitting himself against my backside as his hands moved around to work on my jeans.
“Max,” I protested, my eyes closing a second later when his dick nuzzled deeper into my backside.
“Nina. I’m taking your body. Here. Now.” His chest pressed into my back as he lowered my zipper. “Accept that so we can move on to the next part.”

REVIEW – THE LAST THING YOU SAID by Sara Biren

Leave a comment

25488375

SYNOPSIS

Last summer, Lucy’s and Ben’s lives changed in an instant. One moment, they were shyly flirting on a lake raft, finally about to admit their feelings to each other after years of yearning. In the next, Trixie—Lucy’s best friend and Ben’s sister—was gone, her heart giving out during a routine swim. And just like that, the idyllic world they knew turned upside down, and the would-be couple drifted apart, swallowed up by their grief. Now it’s a year later in their small lake town, and as the anniversary of Trixie’s death looms, Lucy and Ben’s undeniable connection pulls them back together. They can’t change what happened the day they lost Trixie, but the summer might finally bring them closer to healing—and to each other.

Publication is planned for 2017.

*****Dee’s Review*****

4 ~ I Miss You ~ Stars****

(ARC provided by the publisher via Netgalley)

The Last Thing You Said is a tender story about a girl who lost her best friend. About a friendship that no matter what will never end, and how grieving someone you lost is different for everybody involved.

21524789-_sy540_

Lucy and Trixie have been best friends since kindergarten. They were always together, more than friends, they were soul mates. Lucy also happens to be in love with Trixie’s brother, Ben. The four of them; Trixie, Lucy, Ben and Lucy’s brother Clayton were always together. They grew up in a small town, with a big lake. Fishing and swimming were two things they always did. One day, that very same Lake they grew up in, is what took Trixie away.

Ben loses his mind after his sister dies. He’s dealing with a lot of guilt, and a lot of what if’s that haunt him every minute of every day, also making him rebel in anger against the whole world, including Lucy.

Lucy’s nickname was Lulu. Trixie gave her that name, and she and Ben were the only ones who used it, but now that Trixie is gone and Ben has pushed her out of his life she isn’t Lulu anymore.

Their pain is constant, both Ben and Lucy are totally lost without Trixie. They simply don’t know how to live without her, especially during that first summer since she’s gone. They still love each other deeply, but the guilt and the pain are too much for both of them to handle.

This story was just wonderful. Grieving is something people convey in many different ways, and is something we all experience. I thought this author did an amazing job in creating a story that was easy to get lost in. And unlike other stories I read when someone dies, this book wasn’t only about the sad moments and the pain, it had a lot of beauty in it, a lot of light.

I must confess that it did make me cry a bit because the friendship between these two girls got to me. Also, their parents were such a big part of the story. Everybody was dealing with the loss of this joyful girl, and everyone had reacted and learned something different from her death, including myself. I also smiled a lot, Lucy, Emily, and Hanna’s characters were completely delightful and I loved how much more depth they added to the story.

A beautiful book, that I would definitely recommend to everyone. Don’t be afraid of the subject matter of the book, because like I said before, it was done right. You will not drown in tears, your heart will feel light after reading it, and I promise that you will enjoy it.

REVIEW – STYX (Walk of Shame 2nd Generation #2) by Victoria Ashley

Leave a comment

31236627

SYNOPSIS

My name is Styx Sterling and I’m a fucking giver…

Most would say of great orgasms and rough sex, but I have so much more to offer, and when I find the right one I’m giving her everything that I fucking have in me: my heart, my soul, and my life.

So much more than my asshole father could ever give his family.

As fun as it is to have it easy, knowing that I can have any girl I desire, it’s no longer enough. I need much more than that.

My desires exceed more than a quick fuck with a woman that simply wants me because I’m a fantasy… a popular male entertainer with a big cock.

I may give off the impression that I’m just a man-whore that takes any hot woman to bed, but there’s so much more to me than that. It will just take someone looking deeper than my exterior.

My heart is looking for a reason to ache.

Meadow Jenkins.

I knew the second my eyes met those curious green ones at the gym that she was different than the rest. That she wanted to learn about me.

Unlike the others, she didn’t jump at the opportunity to have me inside her. Now, I want inside her in more ways than one.

*****Mel’s Review*****

4.5 Stars!

-Your the only one that seems to matter when you’re in the room.

REVIEW – SCARLET STONE by Jewel E. Ann

sscover

SYNOPSIS

“My name is Scarlet Stone, and my biggest fear is that someday I will find what I want most in life, and it will be impossible to steal.”

What happens when life just stops? When one moment makes you question your entire existence?

Scarlet Stone is a third-generation thief who has everything: a doting fiancé, a spacious London flat, and a legitimate job offer. In a single breath, everything becomes nothing, and she finds herself on a plane to Savannah, Georgia in search of the meaning of life.

After securing a six-month lease for a beachfront house on Tybee Island, Scarlet changes the way she looks, thinks, eats—basically her entire outlook on life. She needs peace, but what she gets is a housemate who looks like Thor, acts like a warden, and smells her proximity like a Bloodhound.

Theodore Reed is a carpenter and perfectionist with a body built of steel, a black, hollow heart, and a hunger for revenge. He doesn’t like company, girly-smelling crap, and British accents.

He resents every breath she takes.
She’s fascinated by his every move.

In time, they discover their coexistence is toxic, their physical attraction is electric, the secrets they keep mean the difference between life and death, and the only truth they share is that everything is a lie.

“Over eighty-five percent of the world’s population believes in a higher power, yet, very few people believe in miracles.”

Do you believe?

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****FIVE++++++++ STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}

Love is a brutal emotion. That’s how I’m certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt, it’s our sole purpose in life. Love is the heartbeat of our existence—the essence of humanity. In every life we try to do it better.

Love is maddening. It robs all reason and leaves us drowning in desperation and fear. Desperate to hold on to everything that makes each breath worth taking. Fearful that the very air that fills our lungs is that love. One cannot live without air. Can one live without love?

721ebe93f235c0357ad753822d4445da

Seriously, I have just had my mind blown again by the incomparable writing of Jewel E Ann. She has managed to leave me with feelings of total exhilaration and utter tragic loss within the same breath. I had to put the book on hold only due to the fact I had a number of reviews due last week, and I am so thankful for that because I truly got to savor this story but now I feel so lost. How do I go on after reading such a masterpiece??!! Jewel’s writing is hands-down, EXQUISITE in SCARLET STONE!! I fell in love with her words! I lost count over how many quotes I ended up highlighting! Her words gave me chills. I swear there were so many “feels” being invoked while reading this one. It is definitely on the top of my BEST OF 2016 list!! The story, Heroine, and Hero are what makes this a truly unforgettable read!!

Scarlet Stone is a skilled thief and computer hacker who has given up her life of crime and chosen the straight and narrow path of a law abiding citizen. Her change in direction has a lot to do with the fact that her father is in jail serving a ten-year sentence for a crime that she committed. He took the fall for his beloved daughter. Scarlet is now on a path to discovery. Certain life altering circumstances have her leaving her old life behind in London and searching for answers where it all began for her in Savannah, Georgia. She ends up meeting someone on the plane who has a house on Tybee Island in which a room is available to rent. What her new landlord fails to mention is that she will have to share the house with an incredibly HOT but seriously SURLY man. Scarlet and Theo don’t start off on the best of terms. Theo is anything but cordial towards her and oftentimes he exhibits a very antagonistic scary demeanor towards her.

adf14ec66f042a9d0621f683d563db5d

Scarlet is not one to be intimidated and so she makes it her mission to break through Theo’s hardcore exterior and soon these two are giving into their animalistic passion for each other. HOLY HELL ladies, Theo is going to set some panties on fire!! It’s obvious these two have white hot chemistry and both go into it knowing there is an expiration date on their time together. Scarlet is only in town for six months and Theo plans on leaving as soon as he finishes renovating the house they are both inhabiting. Unfortunately for the both of them, deep feelings spark and when it’s time to part ways they’ve both left an indelible imprint on each other’s hearts.

”There are no words for what I’ve done to us—to you.” Sorrow deepens in his eyes. ”You will be my greatest masterpiece. I will build you with the strongest materials. Nothing will be rushed. Even if it takes a lifetime…every little detail will be perfect.”

ssteaser3theme1

There was a side story going along that will impact everything and everyone so dramatically! I mean that just goes to show you how truly brilliant a storyteller Jewel is!!

I normally am all about the Hero when I read my books and Theo is definitely going to be added to my Top Book Boyfriends list, BUT, it is the Heroine that I adored so much!! I loved Scarlet’s ability to love fiercely through adversity and just her kick-ass feisty attitude!!

SCARLET STONE is a true GEM!! There aren’t enough stars to rate this book! If you haven’t gotten to it yet, make sure you bump this to the top of your TBRs!!

Excerpt
“I bet you were adorable.” He put his knuckle under her chin and encouraged her to lift her head. She rolled back over and settled against his shoulder.“I don’t want to be adorable. I want to be impossible.”

“How do you mean?” He kissed her forehead.

“I want to be impossible for you to forget, impossible for you to keep your hands off of.” She leaned up for a kiss.

“You’re my impossible then. Have no fear.” He tenderly reminded her he was her impossible, too, with his lips.

She put her hand against his stomach and snuggled in. “This is my spot. Right here. With you—it’s home.”

He swallowed before talking to the ceiling. “My heart was like a fist. Where I am? It’s not a place you plan to survive. I’ve been there for years, and it’s not about skill; it’s not even about luck. You get strapped into a machine, and fate’s driving. You can’t get out even if you want to. So you submit to it. You harden your soul. You get ready to die.”

He shifted, rolling on top of her. She sighed in contentment. Being beneath him made her feel safe and secure.

He kissed her lips, then the tip of her nose, before continuing. “But with you, it’s like my heart’s opening up, and I’m terrified to feel, after all this time. Yet I don’t have a choice. No matter where I am, I draw your face whenever I get a scrap of paper.”

He laughed a little. “We found a puppy, and I named it Fallen, just so I could say your name over and over. The guys think I’m crazy—such a strange name for a dog. But I don’t care. I’m gasping for you every moment I’m awake. And I’m making choices to keep me alive through the week.”

His eyes searched hers. “What if I’m not as tough as I was in the beginning? God, I hope no one is affected by my distraction with this. But in the end there’s you. Only you. Do what you have to to get back to me when you’re awake. You have to. I need you more than air, more than life right now. The softness of you, the tenderness in your eyes when you see me. I’m trying to force fate to throw me in your direction. To hurl me at you somehow. I don’t know if it will work. But I’m praying for it.”

Fallen touched his face, then his neck. “I will do everything I can to find you.”

Synopsis:

***A Standalone novel in The Pucked Series***

I’m NHL defenseman Lance Romero, AKA Lance “Romance.”

I’m notorious for parties and excess. I have the most penalty minutes in the league. I get into the most fights. I take the most hits. I’m a player on and off the ice. I’m the one women with no inhibitions want.

Not because I like the notoriety, but because I don’t know how to be any other way.

I have secrets. Ones I shared with the wrong person, and she used them against me. Sometimes she still does. I should cut ties. But she makes it difficult, because she’s the kind of bad I deserve.

REVIEW – WHISPERS AND THE ROARS by K. Webster

Leave a comment

new-front-only

SYNOPSIS:

***THIS STANDALONE IS BEST ENJOYED WHEN YOU DON’T READ ANY REVIEWS OR SPOILERS BEFORE READING. GOING IN BLIND IS BEST. TRUST ME.***

When my eyes are closed, the monster can’t ever see me.
When I sing a song in my head, the monster can’t ever hear me.
When I pretend my bedroom is a playground where I play hide and seek, the monster can’t ever find me.

The darkness should frighten me.
I should worry I’ll find more monsters…monsters scarier than him.
But I’m not afraid.

It’s safe here.
When I’m inside of my head…

He. Can’t. Ever. Touch. Me.

Warning:
Whispers and the Roars is a dark romance. Strong sexual themes and violence, which could trigger emotional distress are found in this story. The abuse written in this story is graphic and not glossed over which could be upsetting to some. Proceed with caution. This story is NOT for everyone.

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****FOUR STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}

”You are terrifying and strange and beautiful, something not everyone knows how to love.”

teaser-four

K. Webster is truly talented at writing the really dark stories but she also has proven to be quite a versatile author. Never pigeon-holing herself into one genre. Whispers and the Roars definitely has its dark elements but it is also a story about true unconditional love…something that only exists in fairy tales.

teaser-five

I really didn’t pay attention to the blurb and it actually made the book that much more enjoyable for me. It wasn’t anything that I would ever have expected, so I advise you all to skim over the blurb and reviews. It is truly best to go into this one without having any preconceived notions. I kind of figured out what was going on right before the halfway mark as I am sure most of you will.

I’ll give a brief sum up. Kady and Yeo have been childhood friends and sweethearts since they were in elementary school. Kady’s home life was extremely horrific and she had been severely abused by her father for many years. The poor girl has endured things that no innocent child should ever have to be subjected to, but the one loving constant in her life was the beautiful boy next door, Yeo. Yeo loved Kady despite all of her complexities and always acted as her protector, till one day she pushes him away. Kady didn’t want Yeo to sacrifice his life for her when he had the ability to go off to college and make something of himself. The two end up separated for twelve years but now Yeo is back in town. He’s become a doctor and Yeo is back to claim his sweet “Katydid”. Nothing and no one is going to get in his way, not even Kady!

teaser-six

really loved Yeo!! I rarely get to read about a Hero who is half Korean and half White like me and the fact that Yeo was, turned out to be the icing on the cake for me!! There was one aspect that I kind of found uncomfortable because it’s a subject matter I try to avoid at all costs but the special circumstances of this story made it easier for me to bear.

teaser-seven

Whispers and the Roars is currently available! K. Webster fans are going to really enjoy this one and for those who haven’t read her yet and can tolerate really traumatizing subject matter, should definitely add this to your TBRs.

REVIEW – WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT?: A DIETER’s MANIFESTO by C.J. English

Leave a comment

51aozxbtw8l

SYNOPSIS:

The much anticipated weight loss book of 2017. WTF am I supposed to eat? will challenge everything you think you know about losing weight and eating healthy.

Forget what you think you know about weight loss. You might know nothing…

Part obsessive dieter’s manifesto, part smart-ass common sense, WTF am I supposed to eat? is insightful, refreshing, and motivating—the kick in the ass that you need to stop listing to everyone else, and start doing what is right for you.

“I’ve spent a lifetime sifting through a sea of weight loss information and misinformation, all tangled up in knots; it is my mission to unravel the mess and search for WTF is the truth, and WTF is total bullshit.”

WTF am I supposed to eat? is not a scientific proclamation of facts, although there are plenty throughout. There are also pieces of bullshit scattered here and there to see if you’re still paying attention, analyzing carefully, and asking yourself what will work for me?

“The only one who can create a weight loss program that really works for you, is you.”

Conflicting reports on what is healthy, and what works for weight loss will not go away anytime soon. So how do you know who or what to trust?
Your doctor?
Your personal trainer?
Your acupuncturist?
No, dummy. It’s YOU! We all have uniquely complex bodies, preferred tastes and different social and family obligations. Any diet that does not those things into consideration—a diet that is not woven into your soul, that doesn’t feed your cravings and send you into a state of food bliss—will never work for permanent weight loss.

WTF am I supposed to eat? is loaded with smart-ass advice from a smart-ass chick who generally knows what she’s talking about.

*****Dee’s Review*****

5 STARS*****

A delicious revelation about how one can be healthy and lose weight without having to step foot inside a gym. This book is like having a heart to heart with a friend about nutrition. I’ve had so much fun reading about new ways to plan for my meals and learning tricks about how to stick with a healthy weight loss plan that works for me. I loved it, I am planning on re-reading this book several times, if not forever.

I love to eat, I have been a slave to chocolate and any form of sweets since I was a little girl. As an adult, I’ve had to kill myself at the gym in order to maintain a healthy weight and continue to still be able to eat the sweets I love so much. But in the back of my head, I knew I was going about the nutrition part all wrong, and that I needed a better plan. Reading this book has literally blown my mind. WTF Am I Suppose To Eat has given me the exact tools I needed.

First, let me tell you that I love C.J English’s writing style. She is honest and straightforward, she doesn’t try to impress the reader with fancy, and complicated nutritional terms, or tries to push her beliefs down anyone’s throat. You learn about her struggles and her vulnerabilities with food and exercise, as she shares not only her knowledge, but also her experience, and she does it in a fun, and easy to understand way.

Each chapter has the information and tools that will help YOU create a nutrition game plan, that will work for you specifically. Like the book says; forget about asking people what diet worked for them, what pills, or what foods they tried in order to lose weight. Everyone is different, we all have different lifestyles and food tastes, so we need to personalize our diet plans to our specific needs. The good news is, that it is easier than we think, and WTF Am I Suppose To Eat is here to help in an effective way.

I will continue with my workout routines, but I am now armed with tricks and the knowledge that will help me eat in a much healthier way, without having to completely sacrifice eating sweets or drinking wine.

I highly recommend, I repeat… I highly recommend, EVERYONE to read this book. Achieving a healthy weight is not as hard as we think. Buy and read this book, make a commitment with yourself, create a personalized game plan, be organized and plan your meals, because you know what? You will get a cheat day; one day out of the week where you can go ahead and eat that slice of chocolate cake, and still lose weight and be healthy.

Thank you so much to author C.J English for creating this book. I will buy it for my friends and carry it in my purse as a nutritional, and inspirational food bible. And thanks for adding all the delicious recipes at the end of the book, I can’t wait to try them.
