5.0 out of 5 stars Best Read of 2011 - Not kidding!, December 29, 2011
By GenaR -
This review is from: Unlovable: Book One of The Port Fare Series (Paperback)
I cannot gush enough about this book. I couldn't put it down once I started it! This author knows how to draw the reader into a story and keep them there. The characters were so well developed that I felt I personally knew them. I am now invested, and am so thankful that this is just the first in a trilogy. I cannot wait for the next book, due out in March, I understand.
I don't like spoilers, so I will just say that the back cover should be enough to capture your attention - the cover itself speaks volumes as does the title of the book. Once you open it, the pages deliver a powerful story that makes you feel the emotions of the character that is telling their point of view.
This book doesn't just tell a story, it gives a message. Several, actually. About peer pressure, community service, what neighbors can and should be like, what co-dependency is and what it can do to you and others, and mostly learning about trust and what love is.
I can promise you, this book will be one that I will re-read over and over. It's on my keeper shelf. For. Ever.

This review is from: Unlovable: Book One of The Port Fare Series (Paperback)
There are few books that I feel can be considered both adult and young adult. This is one of those books! I had seen Unlovable reviewed on various blogs and knew I needed to read it. I had bought it and reviews were piling up, so I kept putting it off. I want to kick myself for waiting so long!
Here we have an undercover cop, a 17 year old girl who may or may not be involved in a drug ring, and some horrifying murder victims. Actually, we have a whole lot more than that. A LOT happens in Unlovable, it's action-packed and filled with extremely lovable characters, despite the book title.
Some of the story is very stereotypical, but it's done in a way that is fun and still keeps you guessing. It's the type of book you don't want to put down, because you have to know what will happen next.
Maggie has lived through so much in her seventeen years, I couldn't help but feel for her! The main three guys...Seth, Booker, and Cole are all each very different, but you can tell they all care about each other very much and are like brothers. I cannot wait to read the next two books in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Touching and Romantic Story, November 19, 2011

This review is from: Unlovable (The Port Fare Series) (Kindle Edition)
This was such a sweet and lovely romantic story! I was truly touched by this book.
Seth Prescott is a Mobile Enforcement Team, or MET agent working undercover, posing as a senior at Port Fare High to investigate the growing drug problem in Port Fare. Maggie Brown is a senior in Port Fare High. She lives in a trailer home with her mother who is a passed-out, mean drunk. Maggie gets good grades and keeps to herself. She has found out that expressing any emotion to her mother just encourages a slew of hateful remarks or worse. Maggie has caught the eye of Seth, he finds himself growing sweet on her. Every time he gets around her though, he gets tongue-tied. Maggie of course thinks Seth is hot but couldn't imagine him being interested in her. He's always hanging out with the cool crowd. Topping that list is popular cheer captain, Hillary. Hillary is a vile, mean-spirited, jealous creature! Ughh!!
The drug problem is getting worse in Port Fare and their new lead on a heroin ring brings them to Felix Hoffman, seen talking to two suspected drug pushers. Felix lives in the same trailer park as Maggie. The police think that Hoffman and Maggie's mom could be involved. Armed with this new information, Seth's assignment is to get close to Maggie and find out if her mother is connected somehow.
I'm astounded that Maggie is such an amazing girl in spite of the creep of a mother she has. This mother is beyond horrible! It was truly heartbreaking the way she treated Maggie. But with Seth getting close to her, and caring for her, you see the walls she's put up for protection slowly coming down. You just have to love Seth, being so patient and protective with Maggie, showing her love she's never known. These two had some very swoon-worthy, knee-weakening scenes, one of my favorites:
His lips were soft and warm on mine, though somewhat hesitant.....I started to pull away when his hands began winding their way through my hair. He held my face gently as his mouth moved carefully against mine. It felt wonderful. My head began swimming as I drew myself tighter against him......After several moments, he pulled away. I didn't open my eyes, instead drawing my bottom lip into my mouth to get one last taste of him. Suddenly realizing how long my eyes had been shut, I popped them open to see him smiling down at me! I was mortified!....his mouth dropped back onto mine, and this time there was an undeniable eagerness to his kiss. I struggled to stay calm, if only he hadn't tasted so good and felt so incredibly warm. Maggie: "the river Phlegethon will have to freeze over before I kiss you again." Seth: "Methinks the lady doth protest too much. I watched you taste my kiss back at the park, Maggie. You enjoyed it as much as I did. You know it and I know it. Sooner or later our lips will meet again. Personally, I'm voting for sooner."
I edited a little just to fit the scene, but you get the picture!! Hot!!
I loved this story, and now I'm a true Sherry Gammon fan. I can't wait to read the next book in the series that continues on with a secondary character, Cole. I do hope that we get to see some of Seth and Maggie in that one too! As a side note, I love the cover of this book!! It is so beautiful, and anyone who knows me, knows that this is a big draw!

This review is from: Unlovable (The Port Fare Series) (Kindle Edition)
I must say...I caught myself being a little judgmental without even reading the sample or description of the book. The cover struck me as odd...ive learned my lesson TRULY "NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!" This book captured my heart and at times I felt myself crying...all the things Maggie (and Seth) had to deal with broke my heart. The relationship between Maggie and Seth just captured my mind and heart. But I must say, the part with the CaL class made me laugh...a lot. It was BEAUTIFULLY written, and it BLEW ME AWAY. I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE FROM THIS AUTHOR. Personally, I enjoyed the story. It was worth every single once of money and time. I love this book. It most DEFINITELY made close to the top 5 best books I. Have. Ever. Read. I would recommend this book in a heartbeat, it is truly a must read. I will for sure be reading it again in the near future. :)

I'm completely addicted, (between the bathroom breaks and my daughter) I finished reading this book in two days! It was captivating, it kept me guessing and wanting more. And even when I wasn't reading the book I was thinking about it. The story was great along with the I can relate to them characters, and not to mention the cleanliness of this book is simply refreshing!! I can't wait for the next book to come out, I would recommend to anyone!! You have to read this book, you will absolutely love it!! Amazing job Ms. Gammon!! <3
