Title: Crush
Series: Crush #1
By: Lacey Weatherford
Publication Date: October 20th, 2012



Blurb-
Cami Wimberley has a plan, and that plan includes no room for boys—especially the big time party animal, Hunter Wilder, no matter how handsome and charismatic he is. She’s beautiful, a senior, extremely talented, gets good grades, and is working her way toward her dream college to be a musical theater major. Everything is perfect.

Hunter Wilder does not want a girlfriend—that would complicate his life way too much right now. He especially doesn’t want this girl, Miss-Goody-Two-Shoes, so how come he can’t keep his eyes off her? He tries to keep her at arms length, but fate seems to keep pushing them together. Before long, it’s obvious to everyone they’re crushing on each other.

As sparks begin to fly, Hunter finds himself sinking deeper and deeper into hot water. Soon he’s scrambling to keep Cami from discovering his dark secret—one that can destroy their entire relationship.

My Review of Crush -

What I loved: I loved Lacey's writing! This author has some serious talent!

Cami, senior in high school, ready for it to be over, and has a best friend Clay (I really liked him). Then a new kid comes to school, Hunter. Now, I assumed that he was just a typical bad boy, but THE GREAT LACEY proves me wrong, again!!! (See why I think she is so good!)

This is a romance that keeps you wanting me!! Great twists and turns that keep you wanting more!!

What I didn't like:

Even though I am a sucker for duo-POVs, I sort of wish this was just Cami's POV. Not that I didn't like Hunter's POV, but Cami was more relatable to read.

Title- Smitten
Series- Crush # 2
By-Lacey Weatherford



Blurb-
Life is good. Cami is away at her dream college with her dream man by her side. She thinks if she can just get through with meeting Hunter’s family that everything will be perfect. Little does she know that life’s about to turn upside down again when Hunter is called to infiltrate a gang whose specialty is chopping and racing cars. His contact happens to be a beautiful curvy girl who is the gang leader’s sister and he has to pose as her boyfriend. Communication with Cami is basically forbidden to help keep his cover.

Hunter, however, can’t stand being away from the girl he really loves, and he sneaks away one night to meet her across town. He doesn’t know the gang leader, Ripper, has suspicions about him already and he’s following him to see where he goes. He surprises Hunter and Cami, and Hunter quickly introduces her as his cousin who is having some car trouble. He thinks all is well until he discovers he has one serious problem. Ripper likes Cami and decides to pursue her, drawing her into the same dangerous world he’s supposed to bring down.

Can he keep his cover without having Cami get caught in the crossfire? Will the two of them survive having to watch each other fake it in the arms of another? Or will their hot stolen kisses destroy everything?

About The Author-
Lacey Weatherford was born in Ft. Meade Maryland while her father was serving in the military. She has been a life long resident of Arizona, spending most of her time growing up in the small rural town of Clay Springs.

It was while she was attending the small country school in Clay Springs, that she read her first "big" book at the age of eight. It was a Nancy Drew novel and Lacey was instantly hooked. She read every book that she could find in the series and decided that she wanted to write stories too.

Lacey spent a lot of time at the library from that time forward, even volunteering in her later teen years and early twenties. She would don a crazy clown outfit for the Friends of the Library fundraisers in an effort to help get the new town library built.

When she and her husband moved away from the area, Lacey took the opportunity to take some creative writing classes at the local college to help further along her interests. Several years later, they were blessed with the opportunity to move back to Clay Springs with their family. The town had finally succeeded in building their library and Lacey had the opportunity to be President of the Friends of the Library for a very short time, before relocating.

Lacey and her family still live in the White Mountains of Arizona, where she continues to write young adult novels that have a fantasy/fairytale or paranormal bent to them, as well as being sure to include a great romantic storyline!

Book Info-
Title: Chasing Nikki
Series: Chasing Nikki Series #1
By: Lacey Weatherford
Publication Date: February 29th, 2012 by Moonstruck Media



Blurb-
Chase Walker used to be a good kid—charming, athletic, and with a bright future ahead, but that was before travesty struck his life, sinking him into deep despair. Caught up in a world of drugs and alcohol, he doesn’t notice time slipping away until he’s arrested for underage drinking one night.

Fed up with watching her son destroy his life, Chase’s mom relocates him to live in a small ranching community with his ex-military grandfather. Chase is far from happy about the situation until he meets, Nikki, the cute cheerleader who won’t give football players like him the time of day.

Chase enjoys a good challenge though and sets out to claim Nikki for his own. He soon discovers she’s more than a pretty face—she’s a balm to his troubled spirit also. But when tragedy strikes Nikki’s life too, suddenly Chase finds himself put to the ultimate test. Can he trust Nikki, and all that she’s taught him? Will it be enough?

My Review of book 1: Chasing Nikki

For this tour I decided to read book 1.

So here is how I thought about this book.....

First half, Typical love story:

Chase is typical teenage boy who is starting to show some of his wild, bad boy side. So, his mom sends him to his dad's to live

Nikki is a typical cheerleader. However, she doesn't really give Chase the time of day. At first ....

So, you can see where I'm going with this

Second half and ending of book, HOLY STARS!! OMG !!! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME???

I was about to get bored with this book when a MASSIVE (and I mean MASSIVE) twist hit this book. 

Nikki and Chase begin a relationship, but there something happens. I really, really, really don't want to say BUT this is the first time I was thrown for a complete loop!!

I cried like a small child. I even had to put it down for an hour, to compose myself to finish!!

READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!! I will be reading book 2 ... soon!!!
