2.5 stars Oh... why?? Why?? Did I have to jump on the Carter Reed bandwagon just because I saw somewhere that a sequel was coming up soon? I steered clear of this book when it first came out two years ago, despite all the hype because my gut kept telling me to stay away.Now two years later, my reckless, impressionable self throws herself all in, without bothering to check any reviews first and judge whether it was going to be worth my while. Well, in short, this book was just... weird... The st

internal debate begins ...... I loved Carter Reed's character but hmmmmmm I'm missing that something something.review to come <3333

Carter Reed is not your average book boyfriend!This was quite a book! It was definitely a wild ride from beginning to end. It was an awesome story with non-stop action. The characters were all developed very well and the world building was terrific the romance was sizzling hot. This was a story about a young woman named Emma Martins who works at a hotel and lives with a friend named Mallory who makes bad choices in the men she dates. Emma comes home one night early because she decides to skip go...

4,5 Sexy Badass Stars! Emma did something very bad (and dangerous) in order to save her best-friend. But now she is a target to the one of the most powerful Mafia families and she needs some kind of protection and there’s only one person she knows that she can give that to her: Carter Reed.

Now he is a dangerous professional badass that made a huge fortune working to the mafi

What do you do when your roommate and best friend is raped by her boyfriend who just happens to be the son of the local mafia boss? Well, for Emma the answer is easy. She comes back from her gym class early, goes directly for her gun and shoots him. So far so good, or rather not so far and not so good. *lol**sigh* What can I say about this book? *shakes head*The first half read like an action movie and felt like “Fifty Shades of Grey” meets the mafia which actually was pretty entertaining and ke...

Jointly reviewed for :http://totallybookedblog.com/Jenny: So this is the first time ever that we have marked a book to read based solely on a cover. Hey, don’t judge us. Have you seen that cover? Yep, this was one book we were dying to read and it would be an understatement to say it didn’t let us down, wouldn’t it G?I absolutely LOVED Carter Reed. I was hooked from the first page and my life pretty much went on hold until I turned that last page. I was completely absorbed in every word of this

”I would declare war for you.” This story started off with a bang but thereafter was missing something. Perhaps a better back story or Carter's pov from the past? The I love Yous felt like they were out of nowhere for where these two were and are with one another. It could be that added depth from the characters was needed but I just wasn’t connected with the two main characters in the slightest. Emma is on the run after killing a mobster and goes to her deceased brother’s best friend Carter

My very first Tijan book and now I'm addicted, will never look back lol Wow first book I've read from this author and I am in love! I can't believe I am just now reading this. I've had it on my TBR and just never had time to start this. I am so glad I did. Loved it from the first chapter. This book has everything I look in books. Plenty of suspense, action, love and the fact that I have no idea what's happening next just keeps me going. Emma was a great character I really loved how thought

5 Carter Reed stars! She’s done it again… I’ve been Tijaned a second time around. I’ve read a few of Tijan’s books and all of them have that addictive quality. Once you start reading, you don’t want to put the book down. Carter Reed took up my entire day. I didn’t plan on listening to an audio book for 7+ hours that evening, but I just couldn’t stop. It’s safe to say that Carter is my new favorite Tijan boy (sorry Jesse). I’ve had this book sitting on my kindle since release day and I’m so ha...

To be released Sept 30 TEASER: "Tell me what happened." His plea was so soft.I broke. This wasn't the stranger anymore. This was Carter, the boy I had grown up with. I flung my arms around him and pulled him down. Instead of fighting, I clung to him now.He wrapped his arms around me and rolled to his side. He patted my back and tucked his head into the crook of my neck and shoulder. I felt his lips brush there as he repeated, "You have to tell me. I won't hurt you. I will protect you."

DNF 65%But after reading one of the worst love scenes ever, I just couldn't go on. THERE WAS NO CHEMISTRY AT ALL BETWEEN THE HERO AND THE HEROINE!!!!The only good thing about this book? Its cover. That's all I have to say. SORRY :(

5 Carter was lethal StarsI was having lunch with my bestie and had told her how crazy it was that I had never read a book by Tijan. After she picked her jaw up off the floor she said, “I would declare war for Carter Reed.” She was completely serious and said it with such passion. After I stopped laughing I asked her what it was about. She said a mob book and brother’s best friend and I was sold. I started this audiobook in my car on the way home and was hooked. The story begins with Emma witness...

GUILTY PLEASURE READ AND NOTHING MORE!!! Another addictive read by an author I can't seem to get enough of. Like I've said before, her books are my addiction, my crack, and my exception. They will always be 5-star reads for me. Having said that, I will say this is my least favorite of her books (my favorite is Broken and Screwed 2). Tijan's plots are always a bit convoluted and disjointed, but this book took things to a whole new level. My goodness! I spent the majority of this book with what I

Andreea is not impressed. Andreea is fucking angry, disappointed and downright frustrated. What's up with that rating average? And how is it possible that this book has so many 5-star reviews that fangirl over the awesomeness that is Carter Reed? I wanted to be one of those fangirls that couldn't stop gushing about it, but I ended up wondering IF I EVEN READ THE SAME BOOK. Prepare for a lot of shouty capitals, ranting and exasperating quotes. Bare with me here, because I might need therapy.

Okay let me start by saying that I've had the pleasure of reading great books by Tijan before. Carter Reed however, didn't live up to my expectations.We're first introduced to Emma. Who happens to arrive home early one day to find her room mate being raped, by her own boyfriend.Emma only has seconds to make a decision - 1. Call the cops, and be killed by his family's mafia connections, or - 2. Kill him and hope for the best.She of course picks #2. (I probably would too)After all is said and done...

♦ 4 PASSIONATE AND ACTION-PACKED STARS. ♦After having read a few of Tijan's previous NA series, I'd already become a fan of her work and typical writing style. So, when I read the synopsis of Carter Reed and discovered that it was going to be something very different than most of her previous work, I was very curious and anxious to find out how the story would turn out. Needless to say, my expectations were very high, and I can honestly say, the story did not disappoint. But maybe my expectation...

"You're mine, Emma. You always have been. I won't let you go.” Fantastic book with a gripping storyline, dark, gritty, filled with action, twists and danger. Sooo to all you action lovers this one is for you! It kinds of has a bit of everything in it, it is hot, heartbreaking, heart racing, action-filled and much more. What would you do if you caught your roommates boyfriend raping her? What if it was you next? When Emma walks into her apartment having skipped going to the gym her day goes from

Excerpt and more posted HERE 5 Dangerous Stars Carter was lethal. His body was craved and molded to perfection. I loved Carter Reed. From start to finish, it was everything I look for in an alpha-damsel-in-distress read. If you like what I like, then you will love this book. It’s also has the same feel to Killing Sarai (to me at least)NOW, I have to put that big fat Disclaimer - > This book has received a lot of 4 star reviews. Let me tell you why this book isn’t a home run for ever...
