Booklovers Tea Party

"Lyrical, heartbreaking, and emotionally intense, A THOUSAND LETTERS is a beautiful portrait of an undying love that deserves a second chance." — Melanie Harlow, USA Today Bestselling Author A Thousand Letters, an all-new emotional standalone by Staci Hart is LIVE!!! Sometimes your life is split by a single decision. I’ve spent every day of the last seven years regretting mine: he left, and I didn’t follow. A thousand letters went unanswered, my words like petals in the wind, spinning away into nothing, taking me with them. But now he’s back. I barely recognize the man he’s become, but I can still see a glimmer of the boy who asked me to be his forever, the boy I walked away from when I was young and afraid. Maybe if he’d come home under better circumstances, he could speak to me without anger in his voice. Maybe if I’d said yes all those years ago, he’d look at me without the weight of rejection in his eyes. ...

Before we were strangers by Renée Carlino From the  USA TODAY  bestselling author of  Sweet Thing  and  Nowhere But Here  comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back,...

My rating: *Beware, can contain spoilers* With a Twist is an amazing book about friend to lovers. You get to be in the lives of the characters and experince what happens as suddenly they realize that friendship might not be the only thing between them.  Lily's passion is ballet so love hasn't been her priority, she's spent years climbing the ranks at the New York City Ballet, however when the boy, Blane, who she has had a crush on for years becomes available she goes straight for it. The fantasy was better than real life though, but that doesn't stop her from trying to make it work and hopefully live the fantasy. She'll realize that love has been close by all along.  Ever since Lily moved into the building her and West Williams have been friends, but when Lily starts her relationsip with Blane, West must realize that maybe there's more to the friendship than what they both thought. Timing has just never been on their side.  Wh...

After buddy reading many books together Stephanie @  Bookfever  and I decided to do something different and do a co-review as well. This is based on Novel Ink’s co-discussion  post .  Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her. Never ask about the past. Don’t expect a future. They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all. Hearts get infiltrated. Promises get broken. Rules get shattered. Love gets ugly...
