Pretend
The Rebound - Lynn Stevens

This is book #2, in the Girls Of Summer series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  To avoid spoilers, and to completely understand the series, I recommend reading these in order.

 

Rachel is ok with being set up on a blind date.  She is used to coming in second.  She is used to being the backup.  When she explains this to Adam, however, he proposes something different that she knows will end up the same.

 

Adam is ready for a change.  Or is he?  His ex is always near and he needs to really be done with her.  Maybe being with Rachel is the answer.  Can he be who she needs when it is a critical time for her?

 

This book felt like a slow burn.  It took a bit for me to feel like it got started.  I was patient since I really loved the first book in this amazing series,  There were little cameos of the characters I had already come to love.  I cannot wait for the next installment.  I like the way this author hits the hard times head on.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

The bench therefore ordered that no vehicle
We are further of the view that empty/unladen vehicles bound for Delhi, can enter Delhi on payment of ECC earlier stipulated by us at `700 and `1,300 per vehicle depending upon the category to which the vehicle belongs.” This order will override any order by the National Green Tribunal, it said.The bench said: “We had by our order dated 9th October issued certain directions imposing environment compensation surcharge aimed at mitigating the hardship which people living in Delhi undergo having regard to the high of pollution in the city that has earned it the dubious reputation of being the most polluted city in the world.S. Sikri and R. Our order was in the same spirit intended to act as a restraint against vehicles not bound for Delhi entering Delhi.
 
The bench also directed the Delhi government to take steps immediately to repair pavements and to build pavements wherever these are missing, and to take immediate steps for procurement of the requisite vacuum cleaning vehicles for use on Delhi roads expeditiously, and not later than April 1, 2016. The true intention, however, was that vehicles not bound for Delhi are diverted to alternative routes to bypass Delhi. Banumathi said: “A ban on the registration of such vehicles in the National Capital Territory upto March 31, 2016 will not affect the common man or the average citizen in the city of Delhi. Vehicles “bound for Delhi” may enter on payment of ECC at the rates stipulated, those registered in 2005 or earlier won’t qualify for such entry. The bench ordered the enforcement of all Central pollution control norms at construction sites and banned the burning of solid waste.”This measure shall, the bench said, discourage any vehicle trying to enter Delhi on the false pretext of goods loaded on it being Delhi-bound.
 
The bench therefore ordered that no vehicle that is not bound for Delhi will be allowed to enter from NH-8, that links Jaipur to Delhi, and NH-1, linking Punjab, Haryana and other northern states to Delhi via the Kundli border. We, however, direct that for Delhi-bound vehicles loaded with goods, the ECC will be twice the charge stipulated by us.K. Thakur and Justices A.Further, it imposed a total ban on trucks and other goods vehicles not bound for Delhi from entering the capital, and doubled the environment compensation surcharge to be paid by the Delhi-bound vehicles.Further, all taxis, including those plying under aggregators like Ola or Uber in the NCT under city permits will have to switch over to CNG not later than March 1, 2016.
 
A three-judge bench of Chief Justice T. The levy of ECC has no doubt resulted in some diversion of such vehicles, but a very large number of vehicles not bound for Delhi still appear to be entering Delhi on payment of ECC, stipulated by us. State governments and Union territories will ensure that vehicles with registration numbers of China wholesale slow rebound toy Supplier 2005 or earlier don’t enter Delhi.”The bench said: “The said direction appears to have been understood to mean as though vehicles not bound for Delhi could also enter Delhi provided they pay ECC.No new diesel SUVs, CNG for all cabs, including Uber & Ola No new diesel SUVs, CNG for all cabs, including Uber & OlaIn order to reduce pollution levels in the nation’s capital, the Supreme Court on Wednesday banned the registration of all diesel vehicles of 2000cc and above and SUVs that are generally used by more affluent people as they more prone to causing higher levels of pollution

Rebound
Rebound (The Crossover 0.5) - Kwame Alexander,Ron Butler
I loved the grandparents in this novel especially the grandfather. I felt that I could almost hear what he was going to say before he even said it. Charlie thought his life at home was rough but when he found himself spending his summer with his grandparents, he soon realized that living at home wasn’t so bad.
 
Perspective, it was interesting to see how Charlie’s perspective changed throughout the novel. Great relationships in the novel and there’s not a lot of “preaching” in this novel to get the points across. His objective nature began to change by itself. A powerful, motivational novel that uses sports and friendships to reach its audience.

The Dangers of Dating a Rebound Vampire
The Dangers of Dating a Rebound Vampire - Molly Harper

It's Iris's little sister Gigi's story. Gigi (AKA Gladiola) has this awesome kiss one night and the guy disappeared. In the meantime, she can't forget it (because OF COURSE!). She gets a summer internship working for the vampire council. Then he shows up again our of nowhere and attacks her.
Gigi figures something supernatural must be going on and it's up to her to figure it out. Of course Iris and Cal hate that she's working for the council and is in serious "like" with Nik. The best thing about this book was the crew- Iris, Cal, Jane, Gabriel, Dick, Andrea, Nola....and yes Gigi. She's a smart ass, strong, and I loved that she was into coding (and good at it).
Even though I enjoyed this, I think the was the weakest of the books thus far. I thought the history of the Renart's was glossed over. The next should be interesting with the issues that surround Ophelia and her change in circumstance (and the council's).

Juicy Rebound (IceCats, #1) by Toni Aleo
Juicy Rebound - Toni Aleo

Toni Aleo scores with JUICY REBOUND, the first book in the IceCats series. I had been looking forward to reading Amelia Justice’s story since reading WHEN YOU'RE READY, which was released in the Hockey Holidays Anthology. WHEN YOU'RE READY is Amelia’s parents’ book. The ending of the novella started Amelia’s story prior to JUICY REBOUND. In JUICY REBOUND, Amelia runs into her college crush and brother’s best friend, Chandler Moon, who is a defenseman for the South Carolina IceCats. Amelia’s brother is Ryan Justice from book four in the Bellevue Bullies series, END GAME. Both, Amelia and Chandler are in that story.

I loved JUICY REBOUND. Amelia and Chandler are both divorced and scarred from their previous marriages. They were interested in each other in college but since Chandler is Ryan’s best friend, Amelia was off limits. I love that these two get a chance together. Ryan and Amelia are the perfect people to help each other heal.

The character development was noteworthy. Amelia is the niece of Shea Adler (TAKING SHOTS, Nashville Assassins book #1); needless to say a lot of the characters have been around for a while and made many appearances in multiple books and series. Toni Aleo does a fantastic job of making the characters feel believable and grow throughout the series. They are not perfect. They are relatable. The characters have weaknesses and strengths. They have high and low points. In this story, Amelia is trying to come off a low point. She hasn’t spoken to her family in four years. She’s embarrassed and trying to make a new life for herself. Chandler is at a high point in his career but not in his personal life. Chandler is an amazing guy. He is patient and kind. Amelia has lost her confidence and on the journey to healing.

The plot was relevant and skillfully executed. I love the similarities between Amelia’s and Chandler’s story and her parents’ life. Amelia is a lot like her mom and Chandler is like Amelia’s dad, James. It’s sweet and heartwarming. I don’t think I have read a book by Toni Aleo that hasn’t made me cry; JUICY REBOUND was no exception. I love that Toni Aleo’s books tug your heartstrings. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
