My Review

Liam's List is volume 2 of a two-part series by Haleigh Lovell. When I read her debut novel, Vivian's List, a few months ago I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed it and I could not wait to see what was next for Vivian and Liam. I read VL in one sitting and the same thing happened with Liam's List. It was another page turner! I really liked VL, but LL had a little extra something. Miss Spicy Cinnamon Vivian and Mr. Hot Peppers Liam sure know how to spice things up ;)

Liam's List picks up where Vivian's List ended. Liam's has left for Iraq to continue is military mission. Vivian is keeping busy with school while she awaits Liam's return. Having the person that you love away for such a long time is difficult. But, Liam and Vivian soon find interesting ways to ''keep in touch'' ;) After tragedy strikes, Liam returns home broken. He will never forget what happened in Iraq. A part of him dies after that tragedy. Vivian has been separated from Liam for months. When he comes back home she sees a drastic change in him. They grow apart and their relationship suffers because of Liam's behavior. Liam can't find his way back from the darkness that has been suffocating him since he left Iraq, but Vivian will do whatever it takes to bring happiness back into Liam's life.   

I loved Liam List!!! It was very different from VL and I liked how the story was written. Vivian and Liam lived tender and steamy moments. They laughed and cried together. Vivian showed her unconditional support to Liam when his life was a complete mess. His emotional scars were deep and it took him some time to overcome all the emotions that he was feeling. What I loved about these two is that in VL, Liam was the one that encouraged and helped Vivian discover who she really was. And, in LL she helps him. This book was emotional and heartbreaking. It also felt so real to me because these are things that happen to couples in reality.

Vivian and Liam once again set my kindle on fire!!! Holy Crapola!!! These two have something against having sex in a bed ... lol!!! Oh, what a steamy interesting list, Liam!!!! *Fans self*

Overhall, this was a great sequel and I liked the banter between all the characters. I was happy to see that Vivian reconnected with her brother Julian. I really hope we get to see more of these characters. Julian and Casey would be quite an interesting couple to follow and I'm positive that these two together are FIRE!!!!!

My Rating

I give, Liam's List, by Haleigh Lovell 4.5 sensual, memorable, emotional, flirty, sex-on-a-glacier stars! <--- Yup! That was freakin' hot!! Great series by Haleigh Lovell! I can't wait to see what's next by this awesome author! ;)

Synopsis:

Her brother's best friend. A sexual bucket list. An erotic love story.

Vivian Sorenson is in a verbally abusive relationship. When her boyfriend, Brody, calls her "frigid" and "boring ol' vanilla," Vivian finally ends the toxic relationship and embarks on a journey of sexual self-discovery.

Liam Sykes has known Vivian all his life. She's his best friend's little sister and she's always been off-limits. When he happens upon Vivian's sexual bucket list, he crosses that forbidden line. Soon it becomes more than just sex as Liam picks up every jagged little shard of Vivian's shattered heart and pieces it back together, replacing it with a piece of his own.

** This is book 1 in a two-part series**

** New Adult Erotic Romance intended for readers 18+ due to language and sexual content**

My Review:

Vivian's List by Haleigh Lovell was a real surprise! When I read the blurb I was expecting a steamy book, but I got so much more. The way the author wrote this story was interesting. We get to read from both POV's, which is a big plus in my opinion. I love reading a story from a dual POV. The pages kept on turning and my kindle was on FIRE from the chemistry that Viv and Liam had together. Eeeeeep! *Fan Self*

Vivian is in a relationship that to the eyes of other is abusive, but she's in to deep with Brody to realize any of it. One night, she decides to call it quit after Brody reacts like a jerk and insults her. His words and actions deeply hurt her and she wants to make a point and prove that she's not boring O'l Vanilla, but  Spicy Cinnamon Vivian. She decides to write this Bucket List and Liam, her brother's best friend, finds it. Vivian enlists his help to make her fantasies come true and though at first he refuses, he can't deny her anymore once she tells him he's the only one she trusts. One by one Vivian's fantasies are becoming a reality and soon enough they fall for each other.

This story was fun, steamy and romantic. Yes, it's short, but the intensity that this couple has is INCREDIBLE! The connection between Viv and Liam is instant since they have known each other for a while. They are comfortable with each other and he cares deeply for her. It's easy to fall in love with both these characters. Not only do they have AMAZING chemistry together, but they have a unique friendship too. I found myself LOL a few times while reading this book. Not only with Vivian and Liam, but also with Vivian's friends. We all need those crazy friends that make us step out of our comfort zone ;) I liked how Liam made Vivian realize that she was getting lost in that toxic relationship. By telling her about a past experience he made her see that Brody had taken bits and pieces of her.

Ok, let's talk steamy scenes. Holy Hotness!!!! This book was extremely hot and sensual. The things Liam does with a can of whipped cream ... O_0 !!!! Woweeee!! There is nothing left of Boring O'l Vanilla after Liam puts his hands on her. He took Vivian's list and made her wildest fantasies come true. Each and every one of their moments were INTENSE and PASSIONATE. 

I'm not a big fan of cliffhangers. This book does have one, but nothing major. We are getting part 2 of this story in 2014. It will be called Liam's List, which will bring us the conclusion of this story :)

My Rating:

I give Vivian's List by Haleigh Lovell, 4 sexy, romantic, enjoyable stars! If you are looking for a story that is a quick, steamy, enjoyable read, look no more! This is the one ;)
