2 Chicks and a Blog REVIEW
Um, well, AMAZING!!!  I started reading this book and COULD NOT STOP!  I was hooked within the first 3%.  I was going to wait until closer to my tour date to read, but another blogger who was reading this messaged me and said, “yup, read this chit” so that’s what I did.
I didn’t even get to 8% when said other blogger claimed Dylan right out from under me.  WHAT!?!?!  I didn’t know I would want to fight for him.  Dylan – AMAZING book boyfriend.  Where is he in real life?  Sign me the heck up! So, since I can’t have Dylan, I’ll go for the next best thing, Zeke.
This story really is amazing and made my 4:00am bedtime totally worth it.
Tasha – total firecracker but submissive by nature.  <3 this brawd.  She made me so happy with how she carried herself throughout the whole book.  For a “damaged” heroine, she didn’t annoy me, which is a super plus!
Holly – I started to like her UNTIL she pissed me off.  Once she pissed me off, I didn’t think I could be more pissed.  Ummmmm, I was really wrong huh.  I would have liked to punch her in the throat for her little stunt. 
Dylan – you already know how I feel about this guy.
Zeke – squuuuueeeeeeee  what a character.  I love this guy.  He’s the male version of my best friend and I wanna eat him up!  Other than Dylan, do they get any better.  Uhhh no!
So there are some other characters (the ex husband, but I’m not even going to talk about his punk behind, he gets zero time in my review) but everything was amazing.  I know I have said that 91,000 times, but I don’t care.
AMAZING

AMAZING
These 2 chicks give this book 4.5 out of 5, “you can tie me up in 30 feet of rope anytime” stars

ABOUT THE AUTHOR -

Michelle Lynn has always been a reader, but her passion has become a full-blown addiction since her husband bought her a Kindle for Mother's Day. She's pretty sure that he regrets this on a regular basis. Especially when she has it propped up next to the stove while she cooks, which often results in a burnt dinner. Or when he loses sleep because the glow from the screen wakes him up when he rolls over at three in the morning. He does agree, however, that she uses this gift more than any other he has ever gotten her. She joking counters that, because of some of the steamy novels she reads, he also benefits more from this gift than any other he has gotten her. ;)

Michelle moved around the Midwest most of her life, transferring from school to school before settling down in the outskirts of Chicago ten years ago, where she now resides with her husband and two kids. She developed a love of reading at a young age, which helped lay the foundation for her passion to write. With the encouragement of her family, she finally sat down and wrote one of the many stories that have been floating around in her head. When she isn’t reading or writing, she can be found playing with her kids, talking to her mom on the phone, or hanging out with her family and friends. But after chasing around twin preschoolers all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after putting the kids to bed.

***ANYTHING LIKE ME*** Blog Tour Stop!!!!!!!


BLURB:

After walking in on her cheating boyfriend, fate led Spencer Marshall to the love of her life, Brandon Montgomery. Now, she has a wedding to plan. With hope that the demons from their pasts will finally leave them alone, Brandon and Spencer look forward to growing old together. 

Just as things are finally looking up, an unexpected houseguest arrives and stays much longer than expected. Will their love be strong enough to overcome the bad influences of their new roommate and the emotional aftermath of dealing with the trial? And when an unforeseen tragedy strikes, can Spencer finally have the happy ending she deserves?


2 Chicks and a Blog - 4 STAR REVIEW

Anything Like Me was a very cute story.  Being the 3rd book in a series of twists and turns, it ended with a very happy ending for everyone.  Spencer and Brandon did have their share of ups and downs and even a little bit of heart break.  Kimberly Knight gave a very heartfelt ending that most people only dream about.

AND HOLY HELL, the sex!!!!!!!  Those scenes were so HOT!  The chemistry between Spencer and Brandon is unbelievable.  I believe this story came in a complete full circle; a very sexy adult fairy tale.  

I'm looking forward to anything else that Kim writes, because she has a really great way with words.  She had a very good way of making the bad bays bad and Spencer a very strong woman that had overcome more than most people do in a lifetime.

This Chick gives Anything Like Me 4 out of 5 SEXY stars!!

Winning Back Ryan---

Well what can I say S.L Siwik you won me over.   The different dimensions of this book are amazing. They go so deep into everyone’s personalities that I just could not get enough. Lets’ start with the gist, we have  Anne, who is a sweet girl who works and does everything her guy expects of her and then we have our area douche bag better known as Ryan who cheated in her bed MORE THAN ONCE and then decided to tell her it was her fault (he seriously made me want to punch things). The hostility I felt when he degraded our area heroin Anne was astounding. It made me want to cry and tell her to put him in his place more than once. Enter her best friends: Max, George, Brian and Ben. They all have been friends for what seems like ever and they are there to help her pick up the pieces of the slime bag Ryans’ heartbreak. However, there seems to be some lingering feelings out there from her friends point of view and they are more than excited when is really done with sir asshole. The way S.L goes into so much detail in this book and makes these characters her own, is really amazing. I read somewhere it was the problem child and she was unsure if she was ever going to finish. THANK GOD she did, because this book really shined to me. I love how these boys of Anne’s really take care of her and help her overcome all of her insecurities and find love again. Now, who will she find love with is the big question on my mind? She has options that she never dreamed she had. With men she never looked at in another light. She makes the choice to find love again in the face of heartbreak, abuse, and complete uncertainty. The princess finds her way. I give S.L 4.5 stars and CANNOT WAIT for the next installment in this series. I would, and have recommended this book to all of my fellow book girls and will continue to do so because, I am that much in love with this series.
Watch out for the next installment ‘Getting Back Annie’ and check out her other series ‘Office Perks’.
Patiently waiting---

    Excerpt Ben and Annie in the park after a night of drinking: 
    “Oh, look!” I shouted, pointing ahead.  Ben looked ahead at the large park in front of us. “Do you have any idea where we are?” I whispered. He shook his head. I laughed so hard that I snorted. “Come on; let’s go see what trouble we can get into over there.” 
    We walked through the park for a while before I complained about my feet hurting from my high heels. In front of me, I saw a fountain, so I let go of Ben’s arm, running towards the monument. 
    I yanked off my heels, tossing them and my pocketbook onto the ground before climbing into the fountain. 
     “What are you doing?” he shouted in exasperation. 
    “Cooling off,” I explained as I began running around in a circle. When I made my way around to him, I splashed him with water. “Come on in.” 
    He glanced down at his now wet clothes, then up at me.  
    “That’s it. You’re going to get it now.” I shrieked as I began running in a circle, wading through the water, making sure that I didn’t slip on the coins littering the bottom of the fountain. I heard splashing behind me, so I knew he was gaining on me. I turned around, kicking water, spraying him from head to toe. He wiped the water off his face, before splashing me with water, his strong arms being able to spray me with more water that I could ever hit him with in one try. 
    My hair and polka-dotted dress were soaked, and I wrung my hair out before shrieking and running away from him.  
    “Watch out! I’m gonna getcha!” he shouted as we ran around the fountain. On one trip around, I was looking behind me and smashed right into his chest. When I looked up, I realized he had figured out to run in the opposite direction. He flashed me a cocky grin as his hands grabbed my arms to keep me from falling over as I laughed loudly. I placed my hands on his chest to steady myself more as the world began to spin, feeling the wet cotton beneath my fingertips, his chest heaving. I glanced up into his whiskey-colored eyes, who were staring down at me with an emotion I couldn’t place. They slowly made their way down my face, stopping on my lips before his brows pulled together.  He took a step backwards, and then hopped out of the fountain.  
    The world was still spinning, though, so I stumbled backwards and held on to the statue in the middle of the fountain, throwing my arms around the marble. I wrapped my right leg around the base, while my head rested against cool tile as the water sprayed down onto my body. I licked a drop of water hanging from my upper lip and when I opened my eyes I found Ben looking at me with that same expression I had never seen on his face before. 
    “Why did you get out?” I asked.  
    “Someone needs to watch out for the cops while you frolic around like a faerie.” a Rafflecopter giveaway
