The Keatyn Chronicles #4
Love Me
There is an alternate cover edition for this ASIN here.
My mom says that you can’t love someone until you learn to love yourself.
So even though Vincent is getting more and more scary.
Even though he’s doing a nationwide search for me.
I’m going to learn to love myself.
Well, I’m going to try.
Mostly, I want a boy to love me.
But which one?
Dawson - The gorgeous boy who made a mistake, but whose molten lava kisses and steaminess I can’t freaking resist.
or
Aiden - The God of all Hotties, who is practically infused with love potion. Who I thought liked me, but now says he wants to be my friend.
or
Brooklyn - The boy that first stole my heart. Who has always loved me. Well, until the whole cabana incident.
I mean, it was bad enough when there was sort of a love triangle, but now that I’m talking to B again, it’s like I’m in a love rectangle, or a rhombus, or something.
Oh, and did I mention Cooper Steele?
The new soccer coaching, health teaching, tattooed hunk?
Who Garrett sent to school to guard my body.
I mean, be my bodyguard.
But back to loving me.
I should forget about boys and worry about me.
Love me.
Like, eventually.

5 Stars!
If you thought Keatyn had a hard time choosing between her boys in ‘Date Me’, you haven’t seen anything yet! Very important: This book is not a stand alone. It starts off the same day as ‘Date Me’ left off... you need to read these books in order!
Keatyn is in a spot between two guys. Aiden and Dawson. She has feelings for the both of them. One wants to be exclusive with her, to take things slow. He see’s a future with her. The other wants to be with her, tries to redeem himself and wants to move forward. Then theres another boy back from her past... he still see’s Keatyn in his future... whats a girl to do? I won’t tell you who Keatyn chooses, but I can tell you who I would choose for her...
I am SOOOO Team Aiden! Seriously people... how can you not be???
I fell so hard for Aiden in this book. He won me over in ‘Date Me’, and this book just solidified that he is the one for Keatyn. She just needs to see it. Keatyn thinks all Aiden wants is friendship for a good part of the book, but she couldn’t be more wrong. I love when she realizes its much more than that.... swoon!
There is a lot to look forward to in this book... I have one word: Feathers.
Now, Dawson may not be perfect for Keatyn (in my eyes anyway) but I still really like him. He’s a doll. And he’s pretty hilarious. I love the texting between Keatyn and Dawson...
B is also back in the picture. He has grown up some. It was good to see this new and improved side of him. Then of course we have Dallas and Jake... two guys I really like, along with Logan who had a bit of a bigger role in this one. Then the Johnson boys... along with Riley and Dawson, we get more Cam and Braxton. They are all great friends to Keats.
No matter who’s team I’m on, my #1 boy will ALWAYS be Riley! Although he and Keaytn will never be together romantically, he is my favorite character in this series! Keatie’s best friend. Always there for her, protects her, stands up for her. I just adore Riley!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE me some RILEY!
As much as I love these boys, I really love Keatyn! How many books do you read where you love the leading lady as much as the guys? Not many... at least not for me. Keatyn is trying to grow up, make better decisions. She’s got a lot going on in her life. Not just with the boys, but with her family, her situation and her safety.
The ending is of course a bit of a shocker. Leaves you wanting so much more!
Jillian Dodd is a go to author of mine. EVERY SINGLE BOOK she has written has been amazing! She has the best heroines and the best boys! I am so addicted to these books. They are like crack to me... I am a Keatyn Chronicles junkie and I need my next fix asap! Thank god for the novella coming out in November! Such a fun series. The perfect amount of love, laughter, drama, suspense, wit, swoon- it ‘s just an all around amazing series. You will eat these books up. Once I start one, it’s over. I can’t put it down!!!

What is it about this boy? Why does he feel like my other half?
I am SOOOO Team Aiden! Seriously people... how can you not be???
“Boots?”
“Yeah?”
“I’d wait for you forever. You don’t get it do you?”
“Get what?”
“We’re going to be together for a long time. There’s no need to rush things when you know that.”
“I want to watch a million sunsets with you.”

“Um, when you said you wanted to be my friend after the stars.”
“I do want to be your friend, Boots. I want to be your everything.”

Dawson: Do you want wood from me?
Me: Wood? Seriously, Dawson? Is sex ALL you think about? No. Right now, I do not want your wood.
Dawson: That’s not what I meant. I meant woo-ed or however the hell you spell it.

I refuse to give up the dream that I’ll get the perfect ending to my script.

Life is not measured by the quantity of breaths we take, but rather by the moments that took our breath away.

SPOILER FREE REVIEW -mature content reader discretion is advised.
4.5 STARS out of 5
Genre: YA -Mature Romance
NOTE: This review can hold spoilers for those who have not read the previous books in this series.
'Life is not measured by the quantity of breaths we take, but rather by the moments that took our breath away.'
READ THIS BOOK...and catch the moments!
Boy's Boy's Boy's Boy's
Boy's I do adore.....*sighs*
Stalk Me. Kiss Me. Date Me. LOVE ME.
PAUSE: Dear Keatyn you can have any guy you want but Riley..he is MINE. ALL MINE.
Ok, back to the review.
Break up’s and heartbreak seemed to have plagued multiple characters in Date Me. However love, reconciliation and promises for the future rule supreme in Love Me.
‘His hands are firmly behind my neck, like I’m not allowed to pull away from this kiss. Not that I want to. It's hot. No. It's not hot. It's incendiary. Like the white-hot blazes of the underworld. Or the electrical charge of a lightning bolt. A god’s full power has been unleashed on me. His tongue is destroying my mouth. Devastating it. He’s owning it like no boy ever has.’
HOLY FREAKING HOTNESS! I have never been so confused as to who I want Keatyn to choose. NEVER. But now I am lost.
In Love Me, both Dawson and Aiden are vying for Keatyn’s heart. Unfortunately the playing field is unfair because Dawson and Keatyn have had a very physical relationship and uhh.. Well let me just say what you’re all thinking; sex will definitely cloud the judgment.
"When have I ever given you a friend vibe?"
"Um, when you said you wanted to be my friend after the stars."
"I do want to be your friend, Boots. I want to be your everything." ~ Aiden to Keatyn
FRIENDS?!
Keatyn receives mixed signals from Aiden and it takes a while for her to realize what he is up to. At the same time he is upset by the relationship she has with Dawson. And vice verse; Dawson peeps Aiden’s game and sort of scrambles to step up to the plate to show he can be what Keatyn needs.*face meet palm* These two will give you whip lash and you'll enjoy it, neck brace and all.LOL!
Not going to lie though ladies, Aiden will have you asking why your man has yet to give you the moon and the stars. **le sigh**
NON-SPOILER HIGHLIGHTS(In no particular order)
- He loves me /He loves me not
– Frienemy?
– Cush? WTF???
– Sand Castles
- Middle finger salute
- Mr. Cooper *wiggles eyebrows*
- Purple Glitter pen
- Missing panties *Grins*
- A B B Y
- The Feather *SWOON*
- Sunsets *SWOON*
- Good Prince /Bad Prince
- Bubble Baths
- A file
- A broken promise
One boy struggles to right a wrong and his sexual appetite becomes a tool of choice in doing so.
Another decides to woo and romance Keatyn to win his place in her heart.
While a surprise from the past makes an appearance with promises of a future together.
*Smirks* He's not the only one planning a future with Keatyn
Yeah, I know I just received a hit, but I can’t help it. I need my next fix.
I’m ADDICTED to The Keatyn Chronicles! I know I’m not alone!
My Thoughts
Keatyn puts on her big girl panties and makes some decisions for herself that are sure to be pleasing to readers as we watch her blossom in to a young woman. She makes mistakes but she also owns up to them and that makes her even more lovable.
Readers will get great laughs from Braxton, Camden, Riley, Dallas and surprisingly Whitney though the giggles she causes are strictly from her ridiculous actions.
My Ratings
Characters- Lovable and Swoon Worthy
Writing Style- Fun, Witty, and Savory
Plot/Storyline- Unputdownable
Steam Factor- Medium/Moderately Steamy
Overall- I LOVED IT! READ IT!!
Now go forth and read. Then come tell us about it!

"Astonishing, awesome, fascinating, incredible, marvelous, prodigious, shocking, stunning, surprising, unbelievable, wonderful, extraordinary, rare, something hard to put into words, makes your heart beat faster."
Welcome to hottie heaven!
You have molten lava Dawson.
You have God of all Hotties Aiden.
You have sweet protective player Riley.
You have chill awesome kiss as friends Dallas.
You have first love surfer Brooklyn.
You have MMA fighter sexy body guard Cooper.
This is the fourth book of an on-going series! This review is bound to include some spoilers (no more than the blurb) if you haven't read the previous book. It is amazing, so go straight to Stalk Me and pick it up!
I love this series! Jillian Dodd has an amazing gift for making the writing come to life. She mixes romance, serious stuff and just pure fun!
I love Keatyn and all her friends. They are people you want to hang with. In this book, Keatyn struggles with a love triangle moving into a love rectangle. There is no cheating but she dates Dawson and Aiden. Should she choose hot passion or true love? With that said, this was the weakest book in this series for me. Don't get me wrong, it is still an awesome book but I felt that we were going in circles. Dawson, Aiden, Dawson, Aiden, Brooklyn, Dawson, Aiden...and so on. I lacked the emotionally growth that this book was about. Now, it was more a delicious piece of yummy candy. And I love Riley and Dallas. I kinda wish that she'll end up with one of them. And I love all the small lovely bits that Jillian puts in to her books!
I can't wait for the next one, and the next one and the next one!

Is is bad that I totally just pictured Cooper Steele tying me to a bed and spanking me?We get to spend time in wonderful New York City and hang out at Eastbrook. It makes me wanna go to boarding school!
Okay, Keatyn. That's it. No more reading naughty romances on your phone during school.

5 Stars
Love Me starts where Date Me left off. Dawson and Keatyn have broken up, so that he can see if he wants to a pursue a relationship with Whitney. Dawson immediately regrets this decision the second Keatyn goes away with Riley and Dallas.
Love Me focuses on Keatyn growing and maturing. She has had hot sex and fire with Dawson, and she thought she had love before Dawson made the mistake of choosing Whitney. Now she just wants to have someone love her for who she is, not sex or what she can do for them, just her.
In this installment we see the God of all Hotties continue to woo Keatyn, and Dawson decides to fight to get her back and attempt to woo her too. Keatyn has to decide if she wants to stay with the guy who let her down, but she knows could never break her or go all in with the guy who has the potential to destroy her.
As I am sure it is evident I love this series! It is cute, sweet, and even heart warming. I feel for Keatyn and the changes she is having to make at a young age all because of a crazy stalker. I cannot wait to see where things go in Adore Me.
I listened to the audiobook and loved the narrator.

There are TONS Of amazing reviews on here!! If you have the time, cut and paste your review to Amazon!! I really want to release the clothing boards for this book, but we need lots more reviews!!!
Want to read
May 9, 2013Absolutely LOVE the Keatyn Chronicles, I wish I had found out about them until all the books were written/published. Waiting for the next one is torture!!!!
August 7, 2013
Keatie, Keatie, Keatie...can't you see? Sometimes your words just hypnotize me. Yes, I am a Keatyn Addict. I've said it before, but this book solidified that fact even more. LOVE ME is my favorite book in the series so far.
It's hard to write a review without spoilers, but I'll do my best. My feelings for Keatyn in this series have been a bit all over the place. Generally, I like her, but there have been moments that I just wanted to slap her. However, in this book, I feel like our Keatie is growing up. She's had some pretty big Ah Ha moments in regards to the men in her life. More than that though, I feel like she finally understands what her mom was saying. She has to love herself before she can truly open her heart to someone else. So, keep on keepin' on Keatie! I'm proud of you.
Let's talk about the boys. Of course, all the players are back, but things are changing. At the end of Date Me, I was a bit heartbroken. Dawson was my guy up until that point. While he tries to make up for his mistakes in this book, he made me realize that he may not be the perfect guy for Keatie in the end. But hey...I'll take him!
Then we have Aiden. I have not been a fan of Aiden throughout the series, but, I do feel like he really does care about Keatyn. There are times he goes above and beyond to prove how much he cares about her. Plus, I really like Aiden's confidence and good lord is he patient. And ok, he made me swoon a bit in this book. He and Keatie share some pretty great moments. I won't ruin them for you, but I'll tell you that my favorite moments between them were: the feather, their trip to NYC, the Greek Games, the sunset, and finally...the kiss. So, watch for those key moments. They were pretty special.
Guess who comes back into the picture? I mean, I know it says so in the description, but Brooklyn comes back into the mix. He is Keatyn's first love and the guy she feels has messed up relationships for her. He broke her heart more than once, in my opinion. But, now that they're talking again, he's trying to make up for his past mistakes. It's still not safe for them to be seen together, but he is trying in any way he can to show her how much she means to him. He does make a big gesture that melted my heart a bit. Probably not enough to make me want her with him in the end though.
There is a new guy in Keatyn's life in this book and I've decided to keep him for myself. His name is Cooper and he is assigned to be Keatyn's body guard. He's just delicious. Cooper is athletic, menacing, and most definitely sexy. We don't know much about him at this point, but what we do know, impresses me. I hope he stays in the series.
There is so much more I could cover that I loved. I loved seeing Dallas and Riley again of course. And Braxton made me laugh. But, I can't spill all the LOVE ME secrets. So just know that overall, I loved it! I know I'm not giving much away about what actually happens, but I think it's pretty obvious that I really enjoy this series. There are some serious moments, but there is a lot of humor too. This book has a big ending. Keatyn has some life or death decisions to make. I'm very curious to see what she's going to do next. Plus, we still don't know who Moon Boy is yet. My fingers are still crossed that it will be Damian in the end! If you like fun, flirty, sexy, and sweet reads, this is a great series to start!
Quotes:
~"Boots?"
He moves closer to my face.
"Yeah?"
"I'd wait for you forever. You don't get that do you?"
"Get what?"
"We're going to be together for a long time. There's no need to rush things when you know that."-Loc 1485
~His mouth. The source of all his power.
I don't know why this surprises me.
He pulls his lips away from mine. I really wasn't ready for the kiss to end. I don't even care that there was no tongue. I'm never ready for it to end.-Loc 2300
~"God, you make me crazy."
"At least now I know that you like me as more than a friend."
"When have I ever given you a friend vibe?"
"Um, when you said you wanted to be my friend after the stars."
"I do want to be your friend, Boots. I want to be your everything."-Loc 4253
~"Right when I was getting ready to leave, he kissed me. Once, on the lips."
"And how did it feel?"
"Different."
"Why is that?"
"Because we've changed." I gaze into Aiden's eyes. "Because, he's not you."-Loc 5511

Let's talk about the boys. Of course, all the players are back, but things are changing. At the end of Date Me, I was a bit heartbroken. Dawson was my guy up until that point. While he tries to make up for his mistakes in this book, he made me realize that he may not be the perfect guy for Keatie in the end. But hey...I'll take him!
Then we have Aiden. I have not been a fan of Aiden throughout the series, but, I do feel like he really does care about Keatyn. There are times he goes above and beyond to prove how much he cares about her. Plus, I really like Aiden's confidence and good lord is he patient. And ok, he made me swoon a bit in this book. He and Keatie share some pretty great moments. I won't ruin them for you, but I'll tell you that my favorite moments between them were: the feather, their trip to NYC, the Greek Games, the sunset, and finally...the kiss. So, watch for those key moments. They were pretty special.
Guess who comes back into the picture? I mean, I know it says so in the description, but Brooklyn comes back into the mix. He is Keatyn's first love and the guy she feels has messed up relationships for her. He broke her heart more than once, in my opinion. But, now that they're talking again, he's trying to make up for his past mistakes. It's still not safe for them to be seen together, but he is trying in any way he can to show her how much she means to him. He does make a big gesture that melted my heart a bit. Probably not enough to make me want her with him in the end though.
There is a new guy in Keatyn's life in this book and I've decided to keep him for myself. His name is Cooper and he is assigned to be Keatyn's body guard. He's just delicious. Cooper is athletic, menacing, and most definitely sexy. We don't know much about him at this point, but what we do know, impresses me. I hope he stays in the series.
There is so much more I could cover that I loved. I loved seeing Dallas and Riley again of course. And Braxton made me laugh. But, I can't spill all the LOVE ME secrets. So just know that overall, I loved it! I know I'm not giving much away about what actually happens, but I think it's pretty obvious that I really enjoy this series. There are some serious moments, but there is a lot of humor too. This book has a big ending. Keatyn has some life or death decisions to make. I'm very curious to see what she's going to do next. Plus, we still don't know who Moon Boy is yet. My fingers are still crossed that it will be Damian in the end! If you like fun, flirty, sexy, and sweet reads, this is a great series to start!
Quotes:
~"Boots?"
He moves closer to my face.
"Yeah?"
"I'd wait for you forever. You don't get that do you?"
"Get what?"
"We're going to be together for a long time. There's no need to rush things when you know that."-Loc 1485
~His mouth. The source of all his power.
I don't know why this surprises me.
He pulls his lips away from mine. I really wasn't ready for the kiss to end. I don't even care that there was no tongue. I'm never ready for it to end.-Loc 2300
~"God, you make me crazy."
"At least now I know that you like me as more than a friend."
"When have I ever given you a friend vibe?"
"Um, when you said you wanted to be my friend after the stars."
"I do want to be your friend, Boots. I want to be your everything."-Loc 4253
~"Right when I was getting ready to leave, he kissed me. Once, on the lips."
"And how did it feel?"
"Different."
"Why is that?"
"Because we've changed." I gaze into Aiden's eyes. "Because, he's not you."-Loc 5511

3.5--Back and Forth--Stars!!!
Dawson.....no, Aiden.....no, Dawson.....maybe, Brooklyn.....perhaps even, Cooper.....Riley?.....definitely Aiden.....nope, not Aiden!
Back and Forth....sleeping with Dawson, dating Aiden.
Back and forth....Kissing Aiden, kissing Dawson.
I'm exhausted! PLEASE I'm begging you Keatyn...pick a boy. Just one boy!
Love Me picked up right where Date Me left off....Keatyn and Dawson are trying to figure out where they stand after the Whitney debacle. Keatyn continues to sleep with him while she is "figuring it all out".
She also has feelings for Aiden. He wants more. But he wants just her. Aiden doesn't want to share Keatyn. And he wants to take things slow.
Honestly, not a lot happened in this book other then the ping ponging between the guys. And I really didn't like Keatyn as much in this book. She knows that deep down she's in love with Aiden, but she just keeps fighting it. And pushing Aiden away, and throwing herself at Dawson. Most of the drama was centered around a lack of communication, which is a pet peeve.
And of course.....the ending! It wouldn't be complete without a cliffhanger ending of sorts! Leaving us all hanging....wondering what's going to happen next.

Love Me (Keatyn Chronicles) by Jillian Dodd
5 – Aiden Must Be Moon Boy stars!!!!!
“Yes, one minute I think I should just choose Dawson. The next minute, I think I want to be with Aiden. It was bad enough when it was a sort of love triangle. Now that I’m talking to B again, I realise how much I miss him. Now I’m in a love rectangle. Or a rhombus. Whatever. And it’s making me sick. I even have a sore throat.”
This is one series that I am seriously addicted to, yes I may be approaching 40 (quicker than I would like to be) but I love high school romance stories, I get to relive those feelings of being a teenager, swooning over boys, the what if’s the but’s and the why’s. It takes me back in time and I get to firmly implant myself into that point in time that should have been happy (as mine wasn’t) I relive it vicariously through authors like Jillian Dodd.
Love Me is book 4 in the series, so you must have read Stalk Me, Kiss Me and Date Me first.
“When he opens them, the hunger I saw briefly in his room when he had me pinned against his wall is back. And, once again, it is So. F**king. Sexy.”
I must admit, Keatyn did annoy me in parts in this book, as much as I love her to bits sometimes I just want to throttle her. It is all part of the “growing up” phase though and I must say Keatyn did an awful lot of growing up in this book. As the blurb states, this was Keatyn learning to love herself before she could love others and it was great to see her evolve in this book. I loved the texting tooing and froing between her grandparents and her mum asking for advice on how you know when you have found “the one.” I have been team Aiden from the time my eyes first read about the “god of all hotties” and my opinion was not even the tiniest bit swayed in this book. We all have our opinions on who Keatyn should end up with and no matter who it is in the end (if it is not Aiden I will be truly devastated) as long as Keatyn is happy, I will be happy (I think??? Lol)
Let’s do our ABC’s
A is for Aiden – the gold of all hotties, I must start with him as he is my number 1 contender!! He was absolutely brilliant in this book. He has the patience of a saint, he has amazing self-control, he knows what Keatyn wants and needs even before she does. Although Keatyn doesn’t always see this and sees his behaviour as rejection, he does not want to make mistakes, he wants this to last, he wants to build the foundations of a forever and you cannot help but swoon during this book. I do believe that he truly Loves Her!! There are some amazing moments between Keatyn and Aiden in this and yes they do eventually kiss with tongues!!! That is all I am saying, I can’t spoil anything for you, but it is A-MA-ZING!!!!
“Boots?”
He moves closer to my face.
“Yeah?”
“I’d wait for you forever. You don’t get it do you?”
“Get what?”
“We’re going to be together for a long time. There is no need to rush things when you know that.”
B is for Brooklyn, to be honest I feel that this is a two horse race, B hopefully being the runner up to Aiden (but of course that is my personal choice). He does make an appearance in this book, they cannot be together because of Vincent and all that (yes it is still going on) but he tries to stake his claim. He does try to convince us (and Keatyn of course) but I am not sold…but he is a dangerous contender…there are some heartfelt scenes when B does something that had me swooning, but not enough to toss Aiden off my pedestal.
“I’m glad we talked things out. We’ll talk soon, Okay?”
“Deal.”
“And Keats?”
“Yeah?”
“Promise me that when this is over, I’ll get another chance.”
“I promise, B,” I say, mostly because I refuse to give up the dream that I’ll get the perfect ending to my script.
C is for……….(I’m not telling!!) just read and make your own assumptions…but man he does sound awfully good!! But not good enough for our Keatyn…sorry!!
D is for Dawson….hmmmm Dawson….he tries to redeem himself in this book, but for me, he is not the guy for our Keatyn. He proves my point in this book and I feel that whilst he believes he loves Keatyn (which I think he does), he is not “in love” with her. The thing I love about all the Johnson boys is they are fiercely protective of Keatyn, she is more like a sister to them but Dawson has the benefits. But will he have those benefits by the end?? You will have to read and see!!
All the others are still at school, so we have all the fun and frivolity, the Greek Games takes place during this book and I badly wanted to go to this school, it is just sooooo cool, we never had this in my day!! Vincent is still there on the horizon trying to capture who we don’t know…is it Keatyn or Abby, will he use one to get the other, or will he go a totally different route altogether. He is one messed up man and is a law unto himself. I can’t wait for the conclusion of this story line.
“When have I ever given you a friends vibe?”
“Um, when you said you wanted to be my friend after the stars.”
“I do want to be your friend, Boots. I want to be your everything.”
“Everything? Then why did you just stop?”
“Because we have to stop.”
I just LOVE this series, seriously addictive, if you just want a fun read, high school romance, high school trials and tribulations, the ups and downs of being a teenager then this is definitely the series for you. I seriously cannot wait for the next one, we still don’t know who our elusive moonboy is, Vincent is still on the loose, we are now in a love rhombus or rectangle thingy, killer ending as usual from Jillian Dodd and I am just arggghhh I want answers…I want Vincent dead or in jail, I want Aiden to be moonboy, I want, I want, I want, I want…now I sound like a teenager!! Must be this books influence…just go and read…you know you want too!!

I gotta say I loved first three Keatyn Chronicles books, but this was a huge disappointment. I was constantly frustrated and if somebody asked me what this book was about I honeslty wouldn't have any idea how to answer it properly. Love triangle? Real love? It was more like a 17-year-old trying to figure out what real love is, but the way she was going about it was .... wrong? -->
Mostly she just acted like a spoiled little brat who didnt get her way. And it really annoyed the hell out of me. Also she was so freaking clueless
I really wonder how I got to the end O_o I guess I was hoping it will get better, and it did for a while, but then she started to throw temper tantrums because didn't want to sleep with her few days after she slept with .
I felt like she was more mature in the previous books than in this one. Now I am not even sure I will continue with these series.

4.5~Stars
You are never too old for teen angst....teen angst, drama, and Boonsfarm!
What can I say bout this series that I haven't already. At the start of every single book, I painstakingly turn from one page to the next with a kaleidoscope of emotions. I can usually sense the direction the story is headed, and it punches me right in the heart. LOOK AWAY! I can't! NO! Damn you Jillian! I need a drink!
The unpredictability that is Keatyn has even me being afraid to get too attached. First Cush, then Dawson....I can't take it. Keatyn's determination to be a starter for Team Penis, has me hanging on the edge. I'm starting to think that my heart is bipolar (I'm starting to think Keatyn's vagina is too).
It still impresses me to no end how Jillian Dodd has developed Love Me and it's predecessors in a way that despite what you want, she gives you what you need!
At first, I was heartbroken by Dawson in this book. Dammit Jillian, how could you. But if I'm going to be honest here, Dawson has always been Dawson and I wasn't surprised by certain events. I just...I just...I just, you know. I loved my Dawson and love is blind. However, I needed these things to happen in order for me to give Aiden a chance. Don't get me wrong, I am far from sporting my Team Aiden shirt, but because he has never been who I wanted, I've never really given him a chance. Okay! Okay! So I like Aiden now. Moving on....
However, I'm not ready to give up on Dawson just yet. He showed a lot of growth, and hell if he didn't redeem himself with a certain "moment" at the end.
Cooper?? Well...I'm not really sure how I feel about him. He seemed somewhat a random fixture in Love Me, and I had a lot of indifference towards his character (Creeper? Maybe? Not so much? I'm so confused), but I feel that maybe his role will be better explained later in the series.
I didn't just switch teams after reading Love Me, I joined one that's not even in the same conference. One that I don't even think made the playoffs. I am OFFICIALLY without a doubt TEAM RILEY!
READ ON!

As always, Jillian Dodd has provided a fun, adventurous read as we jump into the chaotic world that is Keatyn's. Like the other books in this series there is lots of fashion, flirting, friends, and fellas. I'm not sure if there such a thing as swoonworthy boy overdose, but that's what I'm feeling after this read. If you thought Keatyn was boy crazy before, she takes it to a whole other level in this book. I could barely keep up with her, but I will say Keatyn also does a lot of growing in this book.. but at times she was pretty frustrating. I'm not patient enough to wait for her to grow.. I just need her to figure it out.. like NOW... preferably with Aiden :)
Overall, great read. I can't wait for the next one. I fall a little more in love with this series with each new book.
Lastly, I want to request a Companion Guide. It takes up entirely too much of my brain trying to keep track of all these different boys and all the side characters and their different flavors of the week lol.
August 14, 2013
It's official I may be the only girl on the planet who isn't team Aiden. I Don't know why... but there is just something about him that doesn't work for me. "Love me" has been my least favorite installment of the Keatyn Chronicles so far.
Don't get me wrong this is still my BIGGEST guilty pleasure and I couldn't put it down. I just felt like not much happened. Just a alot of back and forth. Keatyn pick a guy for god's sake!!!
Can't wait for the Thanksgiving Novella in the meantime can I just say.... TEAM RILEY!!

I love this high drama, roller coaster of emotion, engaging book! I have preordered every book and can't wait until the next one comes out. I'll be sucked back into this intense, stupid, young love, wrong desicions, kind of place. A place where I want to live and relive again and again. I'll end up yelling at characters, swooning over others, and overall be very satisfied.
November 3, 2013
I just finished this book & I'm telling you why you SHOUDN'T read it. Many of you may love it, I'm sure. But this review is for people like me, who are looking for a book that'll leave you wanting more. & finally when it ends, you'll be left wiping tears of joy. Or at least a serene smile.
What can I say about Keatyn Douglas. Man. That chick is the poster child for the term "spoilt brat". She's never had one meaningful let alone profound conversation in her entire life. Ok i know you cant possibly expect a 16yr old to have a profound conversation but come on. Her charecter screams "Dumb Blonde". No wonder people don't take teenagers seriously.
To top that off, Jillian saying how amazing a person Keatyn is and how she's "growing as a person" is downright laughable.
I only finished it because I have this annoying habit of never being able to leave a book unfinished once started. Its a pain in the behind, let me assure you. It KILLS me to leave a book or a series halfway. I get these mini mind freezes,my subconscious chiding and beckoning me to finish it. "Just one more page,darling. One para more and you just might find it interesting!! You may be missing out on an awesome ending! Just take a look!" Yeah. And that's how I read it till The last line.
I don't mean to be nasty or anything but, I have to ask- Is THIS what they're calling a book these days?? Is this what the writer's proud of her writing seeing "how hard it was to write this book" for her? I am sorry to be blunt cuz I know how hard it is for a writer to keep the flow in a story but come on! In this installment, there ISN'T any story!
Um, no offense but, Jill? We could both skip the part where you embarrass yourrself and have just written the first line and the last line and be done with it.
My heart felt apologies for my outspokenness,but I just had to get that out of my system.
P.S. I'll say it again, just because this book didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for you. I'm just saving your time. Read it just so you can say you have read this installment.
TTFN!
Happy Reading!

Ok, so I waited a bit before I reviewed this and I hate to give any Jillian Dodd book 3 stars, but here is why. 1) this is not a YA book and I hate that it is being passed around in book circles as appropriate reading for teens. I am in no way a prude, but I am a high school teacher, and I think the themes mild drug use and promiscuity by teens for teens is too much in this series. Again, I'm not prudish at all, and I live in the real world, but if my daughter was a teen, I would not feel comfortable with her digesting this series because, so far, there have been very few consequences for the teens in the book who are making these choices. To keep it real, Keatyn is a little slutty, and there is no backlash to her behavior. I think the setting for these books should have been at least college. But that's just my opinion. 2). Im so over the number of boys she goes through. She doesn't deserve Aidan for sure and I can't figure out what is motivating her to be so obsessed with sex. Come on, teen sex is probably awkward and uncomfortable, but she is written like she is some revved up sex kitten who is in her late 30s. If the author wanted that angle, then make her older than 16/17. 3). The timing of the series doesn't match with the excessive number of events that occur. She's only been at school for two months and has gone to NY a couple of times, flown home twice and been to numerous school weekend things etc. I kept thinking that this book was the second year she was there and I had to keep reminding myself that she only just got there. So in less than a year's time, she has had how many boyfriends/sexual partners? If she were 25 I wouldn't care, but really?
Idk, I love the dialogue and writing.The entertainment factor is top notch. Can the next books fast forward some time so that she can be older? And please remove the YA rating. I've read a lot of young adult books and this is way over the top.
Oh and BTW......I'm totally Team Aidan!

On this weeks episode of The Keatyn Chronicles... 'Love Me'
And Action...
Team Aiden forever!
Wow... what a book. Jillian Dodd does it again. Love Me had my heart racing, palms sweating, and had me on the edge of my seat.
If you haven't read this series yet what are you waiting for?! This series is seriously like crack. I'm addicted and I say no...no... no... to rehab.
Every time I read another book in this series I feel like a detective. I want to dissect everything that's going on. I must find out who Moon Boy is!
Love Me picks up right where Date Me leaves off. Aiden has done a big gesture and it just confuses Keatyn's love life even more. Still unsure about her feelings, Keatyn starts to date Dawson and Aiden ... at the same time! You can imagine how well that works out.
The growth that Keatyn has gone through since book 1, Stalk Me, has been amazing to experience. She begins to really take a look at herself and the decisions she has made in her life, which really help her become the type of person she wants to be.
Now in my opinion Aiden is the only one for Keatyn. AIDEN IS MOON BOY! Do you hear me Jillian?!?! Make it happen. ;)
Tune into next week's episode: 'Adore Me'

I have loved this series up until now. I think I may be over it! Keatyn doesn't deserve Aiden at this point. She can't even recognize someone trying to respect her and build a lasting relationship. I almost stopped ready about 1/3 of the way through.

My head is spinning. Reading this was like watching a tennis match. Balls going back and forth. Lots of sweating and grunting.
When you read Love Me, PAY ATTENTION!!
Theres so many guys and girls, and swapping of partners. SHEESH!. But I did enjoy it, well the boys. I enjoyed the boys. I adore Aiden, more so now than before. But good lord he needs to step up his game! He was confusing me too! Dawson, I like still and it was nice to see him say something with meaning, instead of with his dick. B, I know he messed up before, but i still have hope for him. I love Jake, Logan, Riley and Dallas. Those boys rock. Peyton and Whitney.... Eh, they both suck, but what happens with them towards the end is funny. Keatyn threw a few too many tantrums for me. The ending wasnt cliffy, but definitely will be continued and I look forward to it.
My review sucks. I cant tell any of the good stuff and ruin it. So sorry.

4.5 "God of all Hotties lovin'" STARS.
Review to come ~
August 16, 2013
I.AM.OBSESSED.WITH.THIS.SERIES.
When I read these books. I can't put them down. Can't. Not at all. Jillian has totally nailed Character development. And nailed it SO good you almost forget who is who at times because there are just SO many people in Keatyn's life!
We are now on the 4th book of the series. Vincent is still out there searching, stalking...but now Keatyn has a cute hottie bodyguard. Cooper Steele. Yum.
This book's main focus was on who Keatyn should be with. Who should she love? There is Dawson who as you well know in book 3 hurt Keatyn and then there's Aidan who...well - he's the God of All Hotties - AND threw his hat in the ring FINALLY in book 3. Keatyn spends most of the book trying to decide who she wants to be with, to "love". Does she leave it to chance or to fate?
She attempts to follows her grandpa's sound advice "Because my grandpa told me when the coin is up in the air, I'd know who I want." Which only confuses things more. She decides she wants Aiden but the coin lands on Dawson! She flips again and thinks about Dawson and it lands on Aiden! Poor Keatyn what is she to do?
Keatyn has done so much self examining throughout this series, but ESPECIALLY in this group. She is trying to adjust to this new life, she's feeling guilt about lying to everyone about who she is, she misses her family her old friends. Really there is so much to her character. So has evolved so much maturity wise and yet still there is a little immaturity in her.
So I really ended up liking this book. Because, what Keatyn is finally getting is that her mom's advice to her makes the most sense. "My mom told me that you have to learn to love yourself before you can love someone else.

I had a love-hate relationship with this book and I have a severe case of literary whiplash after reading it. Keatyn really frustrated me with her indecisiveness in this book and her inability to choose between Dawson and Aiden. I mean, it was totally obvious she should pick Aiden but it took her forever to get to that place. I felt so bad for Aiden - he was doing everything right and still having to watch her run from his arms to Dawson's. I totally get that you can be crushing on more than one boy at a time, and I don't have an issue with that, but I did have an issue with her kissing one and sleeping with another at the same time. Then B comes back into the mix and it got even more tangled. Despite my frustration with Keatyn, there is no denying this book was full of angsty drama and swoony romance and it's annoyingly addictive. I'm totally rooting for Aiden now and I hope she ends up with him.
Again, the stalker plot is not really doing it for me but there are indications that she's going to try and take back control of her life in the next book so I'm hoping this aspect of the story gets the development it needs as the series progresses.
Now, onto Adore Me.

Review originally posted at - http://lorisbookblog.blogspot.com/201...
I know I keep saying this about this series but I can't help it!!! Oh. My. God. Could I be anymore addicted? Is it possible for me to feel the urge to get down on my hands and knees to beg for the next book? (well yes and I am not afraid to admit that I probably would do it, if I knew it would get me somewhere lol) I honestly couldn't have imagined for a better addition to Keatyn's story!
I simply adore Keatyn. She's the girl that I would totally want to be friends with and not because she has all this yummy eye candy around her at any given time... but because she is a great girl! Sure she doesn't always make the best decisions or maybe she jumps to a conclusion when she shouldn't but she's a teenaged girl... what do you expect. As I said in my review of Kiss Me, Keatyn is growing into this mature young lady through lessons that any person would find hard. But I admire her strength and yes even her weaknesses. The fear she faces that Vincent might find her... the lies she's forced to tell... it makes you feel for her. She cherishes the relationships she has and the ones she's made since going off to boarding school. She makes fairly responsible decisions and the best thing of all is she tries to be herself (well as best as she can considering...)
Then there's the boys. I can't really say a whole lot but I will say that yes I am still Team Aiden, I still have a crush on Dallas, Riley is adorable, Dawson is fun, I'm craving more Damian, and I will even go as far as to say... Hello B and can we have more please? And just wait until y'all meet the gorgeous Cooper Steele!
Jillian Dodd has one amazing series here. She has kept me on the edge of my seat and more than ready to devour every single word! She really has created the perfect combo of Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl, with her own fascinating flair! I can't get enough of it and I can not wait for Adore Me (The Keatyn Chronicles #4.5)!!! Is it November yet??

I absolutely adore this series and Love Me didn't disappoint. As much as I wanted to smack Keatie upside the head during most of the book, I kept reminding myself that she's only 17 years old and living in a mostly superficial world. What I wouldn't do to have her problems at 17, well except having a stalker, that would suck. LOL! Surprisingly, after being firmly Team Dawson, I found myself falling in deep like with Aiden and actually rooting for him. As the title suggests, Keatyn learns to love herself throughout this installment, however she may have left some collateral damage in her wake. So in the end, I'm left with feelings of angst, confusion, excitement and longing, wanting more from Keatie and her hotties and hoping I don't have to wait too long for more.

I would've rated this a one-star.
But I have to give another star for the Aiden moments.
This book (or the entire series itself) is the most frustrating, by far. I'm starting to think that I don't have the stomach left for the next three installments. Just the I-have-to-finish-what-i-started idea the only thing that keeps me going. :(
