Review

****This book was part of a blog tour I received a copy for my honest review****
Travis is only nineteen he had to drop out of high school to work so him and his mother would not be evicted. He hates his job and spends his nights with one girl after another; he finds the teen program at the fire station meets a good girl and falls in love. He refuses to tell her the truth about things because he believes she won't love him back, things go from bad to worse. Can Travis find a way to make his situation better, will he come clean to the girl he loves or will lose the first really good thing in his life? I loved this book, Travis is such a great character his problems are real and heartbreaking. He takes on so much to make sure his mother and him have a place to stay, but no matter how much he works he just can't keep up. He is ashamed of his situation, it's so sad how hard this guys life is. The passion he discovers and his goals of wanting to be a firefighter were admirable and I loved his reasoning behind it. The romance in this book was not focused on the physical but more on the emotional connection between two people. Girls Love Travis Walker is a fast read with amazing characters that show you how strong some people can be.

Lost Without You 
 4 of 5 stars false1/2 
Zoe Oliver never wanted to be on another reality TV show… until Chip Cormack made an offer too good to refuse. He’s guaranteed her a payday this time and a chance to redeem herself in America’s eyes. But Zoe worries she won’t be able to focus as her desire for Chip grows and her strength to resist him weakens. When she learns she’ll be roughing it in the woods with Chip and without luxuries like indoor plumbing and electricity, she’s instantly on edge, feeling naked and terrified that her scars will be exposed and her secrets revealed. When Zoe’s past turns up on the show, she fears she’ll lose not only the life she’s sacrificed everything else to have, but also the affections of the only man she’s ever trusted with her heart.

Review

****This book was part of a blog tour I received an ARC for my honest review****
Zoe was lured back for her third try at reality t.v. because Chip promised her a payday, he just "forgot" to mention she would be the host not a contestant until she gets there. Zoe has pushed people away and used her looks so people won't know her secrets. When they start filming in the middle of nowhere sparks fly between these two headstrong people. Will Zoes past come back to ruin things for the two of them or will Zoe finally get her HEA? I was so excited to read this book, Zoe is the snarky bitch from two previous books in this series and I loved to hate her in those. She is still snarky and comes off as a bitch at times in this book, but you get to see another side of her and understand why she acts that way. Chip was more of a shadow in the other books so it was nice to get to know more about him, he is headstrong and manipulative, but you also get to see his tender loving side when it comes to Zoe. The two of them have some great clashes and the path to their HEA is not easy. I really liked this book; the author did a great job of taking two unlikable characters and making you fall in love with them.
