Bittersweet Revenge
J.L. Beck
I’m a slut. Or at least that’s what everyone calls me.
I guess that’s what you get when everyone think’s you've slept with the whole football team and then some.
My junior year of high school I gave my heart to Corey Winchester. He was handsome, cocky, and a pure gentlemen.
Then everything changed in an instant.
When I found out he was spreading malicious rumors about me, after I refused to sleep with him I was utterly surprised. To add to it, he broke up with me in front of the whole school. I essentially became the laughing stock of the town. People that I once called my friends became my enemies. Finding a way to ruin my life one day at a time. Now the shitty part is I should have known a pretty boy like him was too good to be true.
After ruining my reputation and life I did everything I could to stay under the radar, but it just wasn't enough.
I slowly learned that all the torment, and hate was all for one thing.
Revenge.
That’s what Corey wanted, and why I didn't know.
Then Rex Winchester came along. Corey’s cousin, and someone I knew I shouldn't be getting close with. A whole six feet of hotness, a smile that melted the panties off of every girl in a fifty mile radius, and a heart of gold. He could have anyone he wanted, so why he chose me Corey’s ex, the bullied, slutty girl was beyond me. All I knew was that I wanted him. I wanted him more than anything. The problem was, I couldn't tell if Rex, was just like Corey or if his intentions were as innocent as he was making them out to be.
My names Jenna Haines, and this is the story of how the one thing I wanted.. turned out to be the one thing that would hurt me the most. What happens when the one thing you least expect to happen, does? When all the lies and secrets come out. Well you're about find out.

Absolutely wonderful!
The moment I started reading, I knew that this story was going to be good. Jenna is a girl who gets bullied by her ex, Corey Winchester, and almost the entire school follows pursuit. However, things start to change when Rex Winchester comes along...
I loved the story and how it progressed. Jenna grows as a person/character and starts to become more independent and learn a lot of lessons. I also loved the fumes of "badass" throughout the book.
J.L. Beck definitely plays with your emotions and brings a good amount of suspense and satisfaction at the same time. Jenna and Rex's story continues in the next book, Bittersweet Love, so be sure to keep reading for my review and buy it. =)
My Rating:

3/5 I liked it

5/5 It was amazing

Bittersweet Love (Bittersweet #2)
Wow!
I was instantly pulled in from the very first page. I loved reading more of Jenna and Rex and following up on their journey. It's just something about the way J.L. Beck writes that makes the story so... REAL. I can't wait to read more from her!
Keep in mind that this is the SECOND book of the series, so if you don't read the first before you read this one.... well, you're definitely missing out.
I lovedlovedLOVED reading it! Like seriously, it kept me on edge and was alert throughout the book because I couldn't get enough of it!
This book is short, crisp, and fulfills your needs (for the time being, that is!). I would DEFINITELY recommend this book: go buy it now and start reading!

Bittersweet Hate (Bittersweet #3)
Warning from Author: This isn't your typical romance story. This book contains strong sex scenes, lots of bad language and things that might not be suitable for all readers. Reading this novella may cause uncontrollable heartache, loss of voice, and damage to ones reading device. Proceed with caution, for you have been warned. This is book one of Corey and Mimi's story with the second book releasing in October.
What happens when fire meets gasoline?
That’s all it took was a spark. One kiss and I was hooked. I wanted to hate Corey Winchester more than anything and most days I did. He was an arrogant asshole, and bully. He didn't know the first thing about love but yet here I was falling into his lap.
Then things changed. I changed. Someone broke me, and he was there to pick up the pieces showing me a part of him I had never seen. Compassion, trust, and love. I wanted to hate him, with everything in me I wanted to look at him and feel nothing but I guess love and hate can’t coincide together.
What happens when you think you know someone? Like really know them?
Turns out we didn't know each other as well as we thought.
Turns out if you play with fire for too long you, you will in fact get burned.
My names Mimi Jones and this isn't a fairy tale.

OMG.
So if you haven't read the first two books of the Bittersweet series, THEN GO READ THEM NOW. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
I loved it. I LOVED the passion between Corey and Mimi. It wasn't some regular, sappy romance. The story depicts the reality of what it's like out there in the real world and how hating someone with your entire being can turn into something more in just a few moments.
I HATED Corey at first. HATED him since the first book of the series, Bittersweet Revenge (GET IT, I highly recommend it!). In this book, I started to soften up a bit... buuut.....
I don't wanna spoil anything, so I won't say anymore! GET THE BOOK.
The air of the story matches the character's personality. I was sooo impressed by how different the way this book was written compared to the first two books. This book was written by the point of view of another character, and the way it was written differently was ON POINT.
This book is filled with love, hurt, anger, humor, and much more. J.L. Beck is an EXTREMELY talented writer, and I love how her books have this attitude to them (in a good way). She is able to create this story that sticks with you for suuuuuuuccchhh a long time and actually make you like it whether you want to or not.
I cannot WAIT to read the next books in the series! I need to know how Corey and Mimi's story ends and the story of Ryder (another character in the book)!! =D <3

Bittersweet Symphony (Bittersweet #4)
I’m a bastard. An asshole. Most days I could give a shit what someone has to say to me. That is until I meet Kennedy Chaps. She’s different, she’s strong, well opinionated and completely naive to the person I am... My body, mind, and soul pull to her like no other. I could have her but I won’t. I won’t taint her. I won't shut out her light.
We both have secrets, so deep that allowing them to escape would be like losing a part of the person we are. But as friendship morphs into something much deeper I feel myself confessing to my secrets. Things that could very well be the end of us.
I’m a good girl. I don’t go out and party and I most definitely don’t sleep with half the student body. That’s what makes me and Ryder Winchester and unlikely duo. We would never work out, but yet I’m pulled to him like a moth to a flame. I want him, and I know he wants me.
He has secrets that I know I could never understand but so do I. We all have secrets, things we hide from others in fear of what they would think of us if they ever found out.
Sometimes it’s about finding the right person to tell your secrets too.
Sometimes it’s about the risk.
Sometimes two damaged souls can’t heal all wounds, sometimes loves not enough. Hearts get broken, people lose hope, and love dies.
My names Ryder Winchester and this is my story.

Bittersweet Trust (Bittersweet #5)
Trust- The firm belief in the reliability, honesty, ability, and strength of someone or something.
I let every wall I had built around my heart crumble to the ground for him. He told me to trust him, and I did. I never thought that trusting someone would be my biggest downfall.
I listened to his promises and thought I could believe him. I actually thought I could be the reason he would stay…
I can’t trust him.
She can’t trust me.
I hate him.
She hates me....
... I’m sure of it. Why shouldn't she? I knocked her up and then walked out on her. It's better this way. I’m fucked up, lost, and no good for her or our baby. The pain is unbearable without her, but she deserves better... At least that’s what I keep telling myself.
I still love her.
I loved him.
She loves me, and she knows it...
... But this time she doesn't want me anymore, doesn't need me anymore. Suddenly, it occurs to me that I may have actually lost her for the rest of my life.
I need her to love me.
I still love him...
With the broken promises of the past threatening to destroy us, I don’t think we can give in and move forward. Everything has changed between us; I have changed. There are risks I'm not willing to take anymore...
If anything, I've learned love is nothing without trust.

****HIGHLY recommended that you read Bittersweet Hate before starting this book****
J.L. Beck has done it again. She has concluded the Bittersweet series in a way that'll leave you satisfied.
...well, if you're a normal reader.
I wanted more. I wanted more Corey and Mimi. I wanted more of the other characters that the series revolved around as well. I want soooooo much more because the author is extremely talented and has the ability to create a unique story that will leave you craving for more.
I've hated Corey since the first book in the series. After the story progressed within the books, I was able to tolerate him, but towards the end of Bittersweet Hate, I was mentally destroyed. I was angry at Corey. No, furious! The things he did was somewhat of a shocker to me, and I was torn apart, wrecked and shredded to pieces. J.L. Beck was able to stir the reader's emotions and keep them in medium suspense (just the right amount), leaving them hungry for me. She was able to write in a way that helped the readers connect with the characters and feel as if they were there, sharing Mimi's feelings (or Corey's) and living the moment with them.
I loved it. Loved it all.
It's one of those books that's hard to put down. In fact, the entire Bittersweet series is like that! I want mooooorrrreeeeeeee!!!! *sobs*
This is a book that you don't want to miss out on. DEFINITELY recommend it!!
