This is the 3rd book in the Silver Strands series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and understanding of the series, I recommend reading in order.

Genevieve & Adam have both been hit with disappointments.  When they turn to one another and "Marry Me" falls out... How do you go on from there?  Is it a joke?

Adam is sure no one sexy like Genevieve wants him.  She is sure no one notices she is smart and wants her.  Can they learn along the way that its what inside that counts?  Maybe what the heart needs is more than what the eyes can see.

Very endearing and sweet story.  I love this series and this book just sold it to me even more.  I think the characters are just so good together.  I give this story a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Series: Silver Strands #3

About the book:

Genevieve Rodriguez’s life isn't panning out the way she’s always envisioned. At all. Not only is she exactly one “D” away from getting kicked out of school, but her heart is in pieces after her long-time crush marries someone else. For Genevieve, sunny Silver Strand has never felt more dismal.

Then Adam Abramowitz, her super-cute, super-smart physics tutor—who never seems to notice even her sexiest tops—tells her his Visa is about to expire and he’s going to have to return to Israel.

Suddenly the words pop out Genevieve's mouth before she can stop them. “Marry me.”

At first, it's a joke...until it's not. Because in that brief, unexpected moment, everything changes. The rules. The boundaries. And Adam and Genevieve are about to discover what happens when you push the limits.

Silver Strands #2

You can never judge the depths by the surface…

For Cohen Rodriguez, getting dumped by his girlfriend was bad enough. Being told he’s “not impulsive enough” was just the cheap parting gift. Still, he takes a break from his über responsible ways and dates his way through Silver Strand. Except it’s not exactly turning out the way he thought…

On top of that, there’s Maren Walshe, whose combination of sexy and down-to-earth is everything Cohen wants in a girl. But while they’ve recently been talking on the phone and texting every day, they’ve never actually met. Now Maren wants to meet. In person.

Faced with turning his oh-so-safe fantasy girl into an uncertain reality, Cohen and Maren are both about to dive head first, ready or not.

Silver Strands #1

Sometimes it’s easier to run…

Ripped apart by guilt and grief, nineteen-year-old Whit Conrad grabs her stuff, runs from her super-conservative family in Pennsylvania, and hauls ass for sunny California. All she wants is escape. But what she gets is a craptastic apartment, a job at a tattoo parlour, and a life that’s not her own. Then she meets a sexy, inked surfer who has the potential to capsize everything…

Deo Beckett is adrift. Underemployed and spending his time partying too hard, he knows he should be doing something more with his life. Being something more. All it takes is a pin-up hottie with a smart mouth-and a bruised soul-to force Deo to start looking below the surface. To wonder if there’s more to life than being a beach bum. Now he’s falling for Whit…hard.

But Whit has secrets, and she’ll go to any lengths to keep Deo from discovering her past…

Cohen Rodriguez talks to Maren Walshe at work every day.  Though they have never met, the attraction across the phone lines is obvious on both sides.  Now they just need to meet in person and see if the sparks still fly.

Cohen is no longer in a relationship, so he is free to go on a double date with Maren and get to know her in person.  When their dates get together, Maren & Cohen stick together as well.

Maren and Cohen have so much in common, being a couple seems like the logical next step.  Only Maren is not into this for the long term.  She does not want anyone to put up with what she has to.  So she sticks to being alone.

Cohen is all about the future and making plans.  He is sidelined by the fact that he wants her, but she always seems out of reach.  They get close, only to fall apart again.

Such an amazing couple!  I love this book and the story within.  It is full of laughter and tears - a real book that makes you feel the whole gamut of emotions.  I can hardly wait for the next Silver Strands series installment! I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

REVIEW:  OWN ME BY LEXI SCOTT

Own Me by Lexi Scott

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


As a teen I would read a lot of Sweet Valley High stories. The Silver Strands series takes me back to that time. Young people dealing with grown up struggles as they take the plunge into making adult decisions. Own Me fits right into that format. Genevieve and Adam are thrown together at a time when they both are at their most vulnerable. What ends up developing is an affinity. As they get to know one another, an affection starts to grow that leads in a direction neither expected. An endearing look into a young adult relationship that is told with maturity and hidden layers of emotion. I received an ARC of Own Me by Lexi Scott in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW:  RISK ME BY LEXI SCOTT

Risk Me by Lexi Scott

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Lexi Scott has written an emotional coming of age saga. Risk Me is about learning that it is okay to be yourself. Regardless of what others think. Maren and Cohen found each other right when they needed to. But will they allow insecurities to keep them from taking a chance on each other? I do not want to give too much away. Risk Me is a journey through every emotion a person can experience but it is really worth it. I received an ARC of this story for an honest review.

Whit Conrad and Deo Beckett meet at the tattoo shop where she works.  He was given a birthday tattoo by the owner, who is dating his mother.  Whit is not interested in a relationship and wants to put Deo off.  The attraction is strong, however, for both of them.

Whit is living in a cloud of guilt and grief that has brought her here to California.  Deo takes her to the beach and introduced her to things in life that everyone should know.  Like how to surf, how to enjoy the beach, how to trust a hunk...

Deo falls fast and hard for Whit.  She is not ready and he needs to take it slow to help her through her anxiety.  He does not know what secrets she is hiding, and she does not know his.  This makes for a complicated and very loose relationship.

Whit and Deo go back and forth on whether they should even try.  They cannot seem to stay away from one another.  She leans on his mother and learns more about love and life.  

Deo, is learning that loving a woman means more than just bumming around and starts to get his future plans together.  Too bad they still don't talk about the future or the past.  They are just living in the present with a loving haze.

This book was very emotional and sweet.  There are times you want to pull the hair out of the lead characters but that is only because it is easy to get invested in them.  I found Deo charming and could not resist him any more than Whit!  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
