Beautiful Disaster - Jamie McGuire




INTENSE. DANGEROUS. ADDICTIVE.

Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.

Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

First thoughts after....
Beautiful Disaster is a highly addictive read.  Be prepared to camp it out until you've finished the story.  Just sayin' clear a day or 2.  Abby's a cautious and safe kind of gal and she's very easy to relate to.  Travis.....hottie mctottie that every one wants.  Everyone except Abby that is.  From beginning to end Beautiful Disaster is a roller coaster of emotions that's near impossible to put down!  Thank goodness I had a casserole already put together.  All I had to do was throw it in the oven!  

I give Beautiful Disaster...........

Cover Reveal - Always Remember by Emma Hart~

Blurb:
How long does it take for a long-distance relationship to break down? Sixteen months.
When Jen and Carl put their relationship to rest after Christmas, Jen’s biggest problem is going back to London ten days earlier than planned – and her ever-present attraction to Samuel ‘Bing’ Edwards.
Bing has no idea why Jen left Devon so fast. All he knows is that he wants her as much as he did the first day he laid eyes on her – so spending time with her while Lexy is still in Devon isn’t exactly a hardship for him. When he finds out she’s single, the only thing on his mind is finishing what they started at his dad’s fiftieth birthday party.
Feelings that have been a long time building between the two explode, and they both find themselves sucked into an easy yet passionate relationship, with Bing determined to prove to Jen that she’s it for him. That she is The One.
But in a city like London, the odds are stacked against them, and there’s always that one person ready to stir things up… And Jen doesn’t know how much of that she can take – even for the guy she loves more deeply than she ever imagined, and eventually she breaks.
Bing isn’t down with that. He wants Jen, and he wants her by his side for good.
Jennifer Mason must learn that Samuel Edwards doesn’t do giving up. Especially not when his forever girl is involved.

Excerpt:
JEN

He chuckles low, and I suppress the shiver that’s threatening to run through my body. His hand closes around mine, and he pries the hairspray from my grip. His fingers slip between mine, his palm hot. My eyes flick to our hands and how dainty mine looks encompassed in his.
His other hand rises to my face, his thumb tracing down my cheek to the dent below my ear. It ghosts along my jaw, tracing the shape of it, and finally settles on my lower lip. He tugs it from between my teeth gently, and the pad of his thumb strokes across it.
My eyes rise to his, our faces inches from each other.
“You know it’s you, don’t you?” he says softly, uncertainly.
I nod silently, unable to form any words.
“I mean it, Jen.” He cups the side of my face. “Whatever she tries to say, it’s all lies. Even if she hasn’t said it yet, I can tell you it’s a lie.” He dips his face towards me, resting his nose alongside mine. I let my eyes flutter shut, feeling the realness in the moment.
“I know,” I whisper. “But that doesn’t mean-”
“Don’t. Say. It,” he orders in a hushed voice. “I just got you, Jen. I waited for too long to have you, but I do now, and I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let her get in between us. I told you, didn’t I? I told you that if anyone doubts us, if you ever doubt us, to come to me.”
“Yes.”
“Then do it. Come to me, babe. Don’t let her get under your skin. She’s nothing to me. She never was anything. Not like you.”
I run my free hand along his arm until it rests on his hand cupping my cheek. “What am I, Sam?”
“Everything, Jen. You are everything. Don’t ever doubt that.”

Strength - Carrie Butler

$3.99 on Kindle
When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, her rumor-laced notions are shattered. Handsome, considerate, and seemingly sane, Wallace Blake doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, screaming and banging on the walls of his dorm room. Hell, he doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, period.

Too curious for her own good, Rena vows to uncover the truth behind Wallace’s madman reputation--and how two seconds of contact had left her with bruises. Of course, there are a few setbacks along the way: guilt, admiration, feelings of the warm and fuzzy variety…

Not to mention the unwanted attention of Wallace's powerful, supernaturally-gifted family.

They’re a bloodline divided by opposing ideals, two soon-to-be warring factions that live in secret among us. When Rena ends up caught in their crossfire, Wallace has no choice but to save her by using his powers. Now they’re really in trouble. With war on the horizon and Rena’s life in the balance, he needs to put some distance between them. But Rena won’t let go. If fighting is what it takes to prove her own strength and keep Wallace in her life, then that’s what she’ll do--even if it means risking a whole lot more than her heart.



First thoughts after.....
I want more Wallace!  I have a new book boyfriend!  Shhhhh.....don't tell the others.......

Breaking the Rules - Cat Lavoie



Blurb:
When twenty-seven year old Roxy Rule’s best friend and roommate accepts a glamorous new job overseas, she expects their relationship to continue as it’s always been—carefree and easy—until they share a heart-stopping kiss moments before his departure. Overcome with mixed emotions, she fights the urge to over analyze the situation and resumes back to her normal life in New York City, working for an intolerable boss at a dead end job, creeping further and further away from her own dreams of becoming a professional chef.

While things become more complicated between her and Ollie, Roxy is sure that nothing can come between two lifelong best friends—not even mild jealousy over a thriving career or a silly little kiss that meant nothing. In fact, it was such a meaningless and forgettable kiss that she convinces herself that it’s not even worth mentioning to her fiancĂ©, although it is all she can think about.


Roxy’s already topsy-turvy life only gets more complicated when her sisters Steffi and Izzie suddenly become her roommates. Steffi is six months into a pregnancy she refuses to discuss and Izzie is in the throes of a premature midlife crisis. Roxy tries to take control of her career, her love life and her sisters – but can she really handle it all? And can the Rule family keep it together – or break under the pressure?


First thoughts after.....
hmmm this is a toughie.  There were things I loved, things I liked and things I wasn't happy with.  Also there's things I still want to know!  Well done Cat!
How distracted did I get??
Breaking the Rules is a strangely addictive read.  Roxy is fun but I wanted to jerk a knot in her noggin quite a bit.  This story has a lot of quirky secondary characters including 2 men to love...or hate...depends how you look at it.  Izzie drove me bananas!  I'm thankful neither of my sisters are like her!  LOL  I was so wrapped up in the story I didn't realize it was 12:30 am.  Breaking the Rules is Chick Lit with a twist.  A definite for Chick Lit readers!

Author Bio:

Cat Lavoie was born in the small town of Jonquière in QuĂ©bec, Canada. At the age of nineteen, she packed up her things (mostly books) and moved to the big city of Montreal where she currently lives with her tempestuous cat Abbie—who is both adorable and quite possibly evil.

An incurable Anglophile since her university days where she studied English Literature, she can often be found daydreaming about her next trip to London. Since she’s an expert at the art of procrastination, Cat is easily distracted by cooking and home improvement shows—even though she’s not particularly good at either.

Cat grew up watching soap operas and legal dramas and—had she not decided to be a claims analyst by day and write chick lit by night—she would have probably become a designer suit-wearing lawyer. Or a character on All My Children (which is what she really wanted to be when she was twelve).
Cat is not sure whether she’s a geek or a nerd—and is afraid she might be both. Breaking the Rules is her first novel.

On the Island - Tracey Garvis-Graves

$7.99 on Kindle
When thirty-year-old English teacher Anna Emerson is offered a job tutoring T.J. Callahan at his family's summer rental in the Maldives, she accepts without hesitation; a working vacation on a tropical island trumps the library any day.

T.J. Callahan has no desire to leave town, not that anyone asked him. He's almost seventeen and if having cancer wasn't bad enough, now he has to spend his first summer in remission with his family - and a stack of overdue assignments - instead of his friends.

Anna and T.J. are en route to join T.J.'s family in the Maldives when the pilot of their seaplane suffers a fatal heart attack and crash-lands in the Indian Ocean. Adrift in shark-infested waters, their life jackets keep them afloat until they make it to the shore of an uninhabited island. Now Anna and T.J. just want to survive and they must work together to obtain water, food, fire, and shelter.

Their basic needs might be met but as the days turn to weeks, and then months, the castaways encounter plenty of other obstacles, including violent tropical storms, the many dangers lurking in the sea, and the possibility that T.J.'s cancer could return. As T.J. celebrates yet another birthday on the island, Anna begins to wonder if the biggest challenge of all might be living with a boy who is gradually becoming a man.

First thoughts after....
This is exactly how I like a stand alone novel to end!  

How distracted did I get?
On the Island is an addictive Action/Adventure/Romance/Suspense everything all rolled into 1 neat little bow!  (I've created my own little phrase)  Anna needed a break and boy did she get it and not in the best way.  She's a tough cookie and I loved reading her story.  I loved TJ he's a man after a girls heart and a wonderful leading man.  Every time we stopped while running errands around town I picked up my book!  On the Island is a must read if you like any or all of those genres from above!

Boys of Summer Book Blast - CJ Duggan

Title: The Boys of Summer (Summer #1)
Author: C.J. Duggan
Published: 12/17/2012
Genre: Contemporary
Age Group: New Adult

Blurb:
It seemed only natural to nickname them the ‘Onslow Boys’. Every time they swaggered in the front door of the Onslow Hotel after a hard week’s work, their laughter was loud and genuine as they settled onto their bar stools. I peeked through the restaurant partition, a flimsy divider between my world and theirs. I couldn’t help but smile whenever I saw them, saw him ... Toby Morrison.

Quiet seventeen-year-old Tess doesn’t relish the thought of a summertime job. She wants nothing more than to forget the past haunts of high school and have fun with her best friends before the dreaded Year Twelve begins.

To Tess, summer is when everything happens: riding bikes down to the lake, watching the fireworks at the Onslow Show and water bomb fights at the sweltering Sunday markets.

How did she let her friends talk her into working?

The Love Game - Emma Hart Blog Tour



Synopsis

His challenge? Make her fall in love with him.

Her challenge? Play the player.

Until life changes the rules of the game.



Maddie Stevens hated Braden Carter on sight. Arrogant, egotistical, and the playboy of the University of California, Berkeley, he's everything her brother Pearce has taught her to despise. So why, when the girls challenge her to play the player, doesn't she say no? She doesn't know either.

Braden wanted fiery little Maddie the second he laid eyes on her - and he'd do anything to have her, hence why he's agreed to make her fall in love with him. After all, it's the only way he'll get what he wants. Sex.

But, as Braden discovers, there's more to the girl from Brooklyn than he ever imagined - and he can't help but care about the broken girl behind those pretty green eyes.

Maddie finds Braden isn't just a walking erection - he actually has feelings. He can be sweet, funny and his good looks don't exactly hurt. That means trouble - but when her brother Pearce turns up in Berkeley begging for her help, she realises Braden and Pearce aren't so alike anymore.

And maybe, just maybe, they're exactly what each other needs.

Temptation Unleashed - Kari Thomas

Title: Temptation Unleashed
Author: Kari Thomas
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
Number of Pages: 272

Blurb:
Something wild this way comes. Once a powerful, practicing Wiccan, Kira Douglas has reluctantly moved to wild and beautiful Sedona, Arizona for only one reason-assume custody of her dead sister's daughter. She immediately runs into an obstacle. The child's uncle, the disturbingly sexy Aiden Calhoun, refuses to give her up. Aiden has good reason for not allowing Kira custody of his precious niece. The child is half witch, half shapeshifter. Allowing her to take the girl could expose the family's shapeshifting secret he has spent a lifetime protecting. Their instant attraction isn't just an inconvenient temptation. It could put his entire family in danger. But an evil force is re-emerging, bent on destroying everything they know and love. The only way to survive is to put all differences aside. And overcome the nightmare that once broke Kira's faith. This title has been revised and expanded from its previously published version. Warning: This book contains explicit, howling-under-the-desert-moon love scenes and some wash-your-mouth-out-with-soap language.


First thoughts after...

Why Kitty Kira??  That was never answered....I think there's something to it.

How distracted did I get?
Temptation Unleashed is a fascinating story of witches and shifters with lack of trust for the other.  Kira stopped practicing witchcraft after a horrific incident.  She's strong and yet she's putty when around Aiden.  Aiden, a hot shifter that loves protecting his family.  Enough said.  I feel I figured out the bad guy pretty easily and he/she is revealed pretty early.  Which I liked in this case to see if the others could figure it out.  I would recommend Temptation Unleashed to the shifter/wiccan read fans!

A couple weeks ago I got to meet and talk to Carter and Molly from the Racing to Love series this week I get to sit down with Jessie!  Whoooey!  Who doesn't LOVE a hot cowboy?  I hope you enjoy meeting him as much as I did!



Tobi – Hey Jesse, it’s so nice to have you drop by.
Jesse—No, it’s my honor. How are ya?
T—(love his southern accent, not heavy, but just perfect—like his trademark 5 o’clock shadow..OMG he’s even hotter in person ladies! I’m a little stunned.) Um…I’m good. (Trying not to stare!) It’s been busy. How’s racing been going?
J—Well, the outdoor series didn’t end up where we wanted it to, but my mechanic, Shawn and I have been putting our heads together to try and change that for SuperCross which starts in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I’ll get things turned around and get some podiums for our team.
T—I’m sure it’ll be great. So…let me ask you, is there anyone special in your life right now?
J—You like to just jump right in there with the good stuff huh?
T—(he just winked at me! But he’s about three shades of red right now, lol.) Well…I know the ladies are dying to find out if you’re on the market. I can’t believe that a good-looking guy like yourself would stay single more than five minutes, but…
J—(shakes his head with a smirk) Well, actually…no. I’m not seeing anyone right now.
T—(his light laughter was a cover up, there’s a pain to his eyes now.) Bad break-up?
J—Nope. Just trusted the wrong person. Ya know how that goes sometimes.
T—(wow…you can just sense what a soft-hearted person he is. OMG, I just want to reach out and hug him tight.) Yeah…it happens. It’s probably hard to meet people when you’re always on the road, huh?
