<br />
Follow the four friends as they discover the secret societies and deadly games hidden in the glamorous side of Shadow Cove. <br />
<br />
A YA Mystery series with a splash of paranormal.<br />

<b>Review</b>: I received this novel in exchange for my honest opinion and HOLY SMOKES! I've been on a reading hiatus for a while now due to being bogged down by work, but I'm happy to say that this novel put an end to that hiatus. This novel tells the story of Makayla and her three friends trying to figure out the mysteries linked to Shadow Cove, mainly what really happened to Mak's older brother, Sawyer, and Mak's father. As soon as I started reading the first chapter, I was hooked. I felt like I was in a throwback episode of Pretty Little Liars, when it first came out, and everyone was trying to figure out the secrets and A's true identity. I love the fact that even though Mak was the main character in this novel, each of the girls were very well developed. This story was short, mysterious, and incredible. I can't wait to read the rest of the stories in this series.Josie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648704471215915936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258517953679254013.post-70671139868461863002016-09-03T13:00:00.002-07:002016-09-03T13:00:43.471-07:00Welcome Back!!Thinking about bringing reviews of books I read personally back to the blog!Josie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648704471215915936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258517953679254013.post-6909992118821741892015-12-07T20:26:00.001-08:002015-12-07T20:26:16.130-08:00Review: Wedding Haters by Melissa Baldwin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Summary: </b>The exquisite dress, the dazzling menu, the family drama . . . It’s the day every girl dreams of, and Madison Wales is no exception. Her wedding plans seem to be going perfectly thanks to her very talented wedding planner, Sienna Harris. That is, until her grandmother and her two overachieving, bullying cousins suddenly want to become very involved in her big day. But . . . why?<br />Madison’s perfect wedding dreams are dashed as things slowly start to unravel. With family drama in her midst, she wonders if her cousins are behind each disaster or if she has truly become a paranoid bridezilla.<br />Will Madison be able to withstand all of the pressure and finally stand up for herself? The idea of eloping with her fiancé, Cole, is looking better everyday, even if it means leaving her dream wedding behind. Will she make the right choice?<br />
<br />
<b>Review: </b>I was given a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest opinion, and it was an enjoyable read. Although this is the second novel in the Event to Remember series, and I've never read the first book, it didn't affect my rate for Wedding Haters. Melissa Baldwin does an amazing job painting the picture of what life is like for Madison Wales. She's a hairdresser, her fiancé is a comedian, and her best friend is an amazing wedding planner. So what could go wrong with planning her wedding, right? Wrong! First, she's put on the spot by her grandmother, telling her she needs to put her cousins in the wedding. Her cousins bullied her when they were younger, but of course the grandmother always took their side. Then, things start going awry with the once perfect wedding. Although this was a light, fun read, I love the slight suspense that was also present in the novel. It was a little hard for me to get invested in Madison's story at first, but once I finally did, the story was actually an enjoyable read, and I'd recommend it to readers.Josie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648704471215915936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258517953679254013.post-60051727324995723302015-09-13T20:14:00.002-07:002015-09-14T05:22:13.692-07:00Interview with Savannah Page<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: magenta;"><b>Thank you so much for inviting me to your blog, Josie Ann! It’s been a lot of fun touring with you through the series. Readers, don’t forget to enter the BIG Rafflecopter giveaway below!</b></span><br>
<br>
<b>Q. What inspired the plot for "When Girlfriends Find Love”?</b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>For the When Girlfriends series I knew straight away that I wanted to have each of the six girls tell their story individually. Sophie opened the series with Break Hearts, and since I love the concept of full circle (and it was about time that girl got her broken heart taken care of!) the rest of Sophie’s story would close the series. Her various romances were a lot of fun to orchestrate from one novel to the next, so come Find Love I was very ready to give her that happily ever after. The big inspirational piece for this particular novel was the final chapter. From there I built backwards and had a lot of fun with this one!</b></span><br>
<br>
<b>Q. Who would you cast as the girlfriends in the series?</b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>Not an easy task, but I’ll try my best. I usually don’t have an actor in my mind when creating a character, but for Sophie, Claire, and Jackie I did. A 1980s Paulina Porizkova (Her Alibi) is definitely Sophie. Kate Hudson (Almost Famous) is Claire. Jackie’s a young, bleach-blonde, pixie-cute Kirsten Dunst...just more tanning-bed-orange. Jenna Fischer would be a great Robin, and Jennifer Garner could be Lara. Emily’s a really tough one, but Ginnifer Goodwin could probably be a good match. She’d just have to go for the dreadlocks now and then and show her wild side!</b></span><br>
<br>
<b>Q. Back in our last interview, you said you could probably most relate to Sophie. Would you say that you still relate to Sophie the most, or has that changed?</b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>Absolutely. For all her OCDness, love of control and plans and schedules, and eagerness to keep things together (including friendships that she maintains from across the globe), Sophie’s my girl. We’re not carbon copies, that’s for sure, but when I created her character and wrote the first chapter of both Break Hearts and Find Love I found myself nodding a lot and thinking, “Yes, I totally get her!” (Now if I can just bake like her…)</b></span><br>
<br>
<b>Q. Describe your writing process when it came to writing this series.</b><br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: magenta;">Before I created a single character I knew I wanted to do a large series about a group of six eclectic best friends during those out-of-college years. I was inspired by my own group of girlfriends, all of us slowly moving away from our college town, but still keeping up those friendships. Taking on such a large series with so many main characters, and having that real-life inspiration from my own female friendships really helped me complete the series relatively quickly. While writing one novel I would collect ideas for the subsequent ones, keeping track of dialogue and scenes I’d use either in the next chapter or up to two or three novels later. Kind of like writing one gigantic story. It was a blast—but a lot of hard work—creating such a long narrative. But boy have I really come to know these six girls!</span></b><br>
<br>
<b>Q. Would you say that you're more of a plotter or a pantser?</b><br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: magenta;">Definitely a plotter! I go crazy with Post-Its all over the floor and walls when I piece together the plot.</span></b><br>
<br>
<b>Q. Out of all the books in the series, which book did you enjoy writing the most?</b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>I’ve got a soft spot for Jackie. She’s wonderfully insane, a lovely damaged character with so much drama. How can I not have fun writing from her perspective? Her story (Let Go) was a lot of fun concocting. But of all seven novels Find Love was so much FUN! I got to go to Paris; got to hang out with my male character crushes; I was surrounded by delicious desserts and coffee; and the romantic, sweep-you-off-your-feet kind of scenes in this novel? What’s not to love about that?</b></span><br>
<br>
<b>Q. What were some of your favorite things to snack on while writing this novel?</b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>Almonds and pistachios are probably my biggest writing snacks, but I’m not a big snacker when writing, honestly. All that yumminess is a bit distracting. I do, however, have a good three or four drinks at the ready when I’m writing. I never realized I’m obsessed with beverages until one of my ex-co-workers said she never saw anyone before me who was never without either a beverage in her hand or on her desk…and so many of them. Variety’s the spice of life, right?</b></span><br>
<br>
<b>Q. What can your fans expect next?</b><br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: magenta;">This spring I came out with my first stand-alone novel, a women’s fiction piece (A Sister’s Place) that I think is my best piece of work. It’s definitely the one that stole my heart! Right now I’m working on an entirely new project that I am very excited (and nervous) about. It’s a trilogy and it’s a New Adult Contemporary Romance. Something very new, tons of fun, seriously dramatic, and a collection that I hope my readers will enjoy. I’m also planning on revisiting the Girlfriends but I’m not sure when, how, or what! You’ll just have to wait and see...</span></b><br>
<br>
<b>Q. What advice do you have for aspiring authors?</b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>"Keep on writing, no matter what” is a classic, hard and fast rule. But you’ve probably already heard that. So my favorite and best piece of advice? I once heard Sophie Kinsella say that an author should always write the book she wants to read. I couldn’t agree more! Not everyone will like everything you write, that’s a guarantee. Your fans won’t even like everything you write, that’s okay. Some books and characters will be more favored than others, totally normal. But so long as you stay true to the story and write the book that you really want to read, you can’t go wrong. When I wrote Lara’s book (Make Choices) I knew I’d make many readers angry with the married-man-cheating scenario, but that story hit me like a brick and I was driven to write it, no matter what. It was the story that was inside me, that I had to tell, and the one I really wanted to read! Helpful and experienced criticism and tips should not be ignored, and aiming to please readers is definitely important (especially your awesome fans), but always, always stay true to your story above all else. (Plus, writing the book you want to read is just so much fun!)</b></span><br>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sophie Wharton is in control. Whether life is going according to plan or throwing her for a loop, Sophie is determined to remain calm and in charge. It's no wonder she's the successful owner of one of Seattle's most charming cafés, The Cup and the Cake. Her lemon meringue cupcakes, petite French treats, and cappuccinos always leave customers coming back for more. Naturally, her camaraderie of college girlfriends are still thick as thieves a decade later. And it should come as no surprise that she has her own cozy apartment in the hip part of town and grand goals for her future.</div>
<br>
Of course Sophie has had her share of rough times, and recently some unexpected surprises have emerged. Her best friend Claire has moved across the state, the demands of her café are mounting, and some major changes among her circle of friends are shaking things up. But it's nothing Sophie can't handle.<br>
<br>
When it comes to her love life, however, Single Sophie's at a loss. She approaches it the way she does nearly everything in life--by trying to call all the shots. But love doesn't work that way, and as Sophie examines her past relationships--thinking back on romantic trysts in Paris; college mistakes; the relationship responsible for the Year of Heartbreak--she must come to accept that love is an unpredictable, untamable, and often unexpected force.<br>
<br>
This is the witty and heartwarming conclusion of the When Girlfriends collection, a novel about examining the past, moving forward, and following your heart. It's a story about friendship, relationships, acceptance, and learning to love again. About what happens when girlfriends find love.<br>

“Are you looking for another date?” Jesse’s voice came from behind her.<br />
<br />
She brushed aside a lock of her hair and turned around to look at him. “Nah, I was going to give you about thirty more seconds. After that, you might have been history.”<br />
<br />
This is going to be trouble, she thought, taking him in, and she had little doubt that he knew it too. Dressed in a black button-down shirt, casually distressed jeans, and black leather boots, his dark hair perfectly in place, he exuded confidence and charm.<br />
<br />
“I would have been crushed if someone had stolen you away.” He flashed her the easy grin that always made her smile and reached for her hand. Together, they walked the few steps over to where the hostess stood, near the restaurant’s entrance.<br />
<br />
They were seated at a quiet corner table, given a cozy feel by the glow of white tea lights. Emily always looked forward to having dinner here with Jesse during the few times a year he made it out to L.A. She knew she was silly to think of it as their place, but sitting across from him at the table, studying his face in the flickering candlelight, she liked the idea that any outside observer might think they were a couple enjoying a romantic dinner for two.<br />
<br />
“So what do you think?” he asked her, scanning the dinner menu he held in his hands.<br />
<br />
“Hmm?” She blinked and tried to pull her thoughts into the present moment. “About what?”<br />
<br />
“Dinner.” He looked up at her and grinned. “Or you could just keep staring at me like that. It’s kind of hot.”<br />
<br />
She flushed. “I wasn’t staring at you. I was just…” She paused for a moment, searching for a word. “Thinking,” she finished.<br />
<br />
He raised his eyebrows. “I’d do a lot of things to hear those thoughts.”<br />
<br />
Same old Jesse, she thought. He probably practiced being seductive even while talking in his sleep.<br />
<br />
“Hey now,” she protested. “I’m a girl, if you’ve forgotten. I’m sure my thoughts are pretty much never what you think they are.”<br />
<br />
“Well, that’s a shame,” he said, the slightest hint of a smirk appearing on his lips. “So what were they, then?”<br />
<br />
She ignored his question and picked up her menu. “Are you up for sushi rolls tonight?” she asked, positioning the menu to conceal her face.<br />
<br />
“Absolutely,” he said. “Which ones do you feel like?”<br />
<br />
“Definitely the salmon roll. I’ve been craving it since the last time I was here.”<br />
<br />
“Isn’t salmon an aphrodisiac?” he asked. She lowered her menu to look at him. He raised his eyebrows again.<br />
<br />
I was definitely right about tonight being trouble, she thought, suspecting she would have to phrase her answer carefully. “Since when do you even know what that word means?” she teased, hoping to steer the conversation in another direction before it got out of hand, as conversations with Jesse often did.<br />
<br />
“I can see you’re impressed,” he said. She detected a note of mischief in his voice. “Do you know what other word I know?”<br />
<br />
“Can’t even begin to guess, but go ahead, Webster’s.” She did her best to sound disinterested, but she steeled herself for what was coming.<br />
<br />
“Pheromones.”<br />
<br />
“Sure you do. Use it in a sentence.” She set her menu down on the table.<br />
<br />
“Your hair smells amazing. The scent is almost as powerful as pheromones.” A look of triumph spread across his face.<br />
<br />
She felt her mouth twitch and coughed to cover up a laugh. “I’d bet my dinner that Cole taught you that one to help you pick up girls.”<br />
<br />
Cole Brooklyn was the lead singer of Ashes of Brooklyn and Jesse’s best friend. He was also Jesse’s wingman when it came to hitting on women, as Emily had witnessed on a few occasions.<br />
<br />
“Why? I can’t be pretty and smart?” Jesse countered, a little too loudly. A middle-aged woman seated at the table next to them looked over and giggled.<br />
<br />
“You said it, not me,” she replied, ignoring their audience.<br />
<br />
“What?”<br />
<br />
She shook her head, but she was smiling. “Have you ever heard the term ‘guitarded?’”<br />
<br />
He put a hand over his heart, his face contorted into a pained expression as if she’d wounded him. “You have so much animosity toward musicians, Em. Or is that being directed to all guys in general?”<br />
<br />
“Would it make you feel better if it was?” she asked, raising her wine glass to her lips.<br />
<br />
He studied her for a moment, then a look of realization settled across his face. “You’re not getting any, are you?”<br />
<br />
She was thankful that she hadn’t yet begun swallowing her sip of wine. It gave her time to compose her thoughts and let the drops of liquid slide down her throat without choking on them.<br />
<br />
“Getting any what?” Leave it to Jesse to bring this up.<br />
<br />
“As if you’re twelve.” His expression reminded Emily of a tiger waiting to pounce. From experience she knew he probably was, since his favorite pastime seemed to be interrogating her about her love life. For some reason she was never prepared with witty answers.<br />
<br />
“No really. That’s quite the question there, Mr. Cinder. Getting any what?” Her hazel eyes shone with a defiant look that dared him to put what he was thinking into words.<br />
<br />
“Affection.” He kept his eyes fixed on her.<br />
<br />
“Define affection,” she challenged, feeling the heat rising in her cheeks.<br />
<br />
“Hmm. You’re blushing quite madly, Miss Em.”<br />
<br />
“I’m not blushing!” she said. “I’m just warm. The candles are throwing heat over here.”<br />
<br />
He didn’t even try to conceal his smirk. “Uh-huh. Tea lights are definitely a raging inferno. Let’s see if I can take a guess here.”<br />
<br />
“Jesse.” She could see that the woman at the next table was watching them again.<br />
<br />
“Sounds like this is a touchy subject,” he said. “Three months, then?”<br />
<br />
“I’m not answering this.”<br />

<b>Jennifer Farwell will be on tour May 11-June 8 with her novel <i>Rock Star's Girl</i></b>
<br />
<br />
Emily Watts just wants a weekend break from the workaholic hours she's taken on to keep her business—a popular fashion-snark website—up and running. What she gets is overnight celebrity and a career-killing media scandal.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>
While taking time out to attend a concert in support of friend Jesse Cinder, a struggling musician, Emily meets Cory Sampson, the lead singer of a chart-topping rock band. When she agrees to a date with Cory, making entertainment headlines is the last thing she expects. Even so, it's a minor surprise by comparison to her discovery that in the music world, media notoriety trumps all. Tabloid allegations erupt when Cory and fame-hungry Jesse use Emily for personal gain, and her tarnished image spells disaster—personally and professionally. To save the website and writing career she's made her life and dream, Emily must go from being a pawn in the Hollywood headline game to becoming the media mastermind. </div>

<b>Summary</b>: The sequel to Heather Wardell's laugh-out-loud hilarious reality TV send-up, "Seven Exes Are Eight Too Many"!<br /><br />During her time on "Ragged Royalty", Ashley developed a reputation as the show's scowling shrew. Clever editing, no doubt, but she still hates it. Now that her stint on the show is complete, she's determined to get the revenge she deserves on the producers who made her look so awful. Without it she can't move forward and decide what comes next for her. She knows what doesn't, though--ever seeing MC or Kent or any of the other contestants again. She hates all of them and they hate her too. Who could like "Angry Ashley"?<br /><br />When she meets sexy attorney Will on the flight home, she believes he can help her get everything she needs. Until he double-crosses her. Now she needs revenge on him too.<br /><br />After reluctantly enlisting fellow contestant Sam's much-needed help in her "Bad Will Hunting" mission, Ashley turns up a ton of dead ends but also some exciting life-changing possibilities. But she can't get over her need to get one over on Will, and on everyone else who's wronged her.<br /><br />With so much "bad will" in her way, can Ashley ever find true happiness?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Review</b>: I received a copy of this novel from the author in exchange for my honest opinion, and I absolutely loved this book. Bad Will Hunting is the sequel to <a href="http://kindleebooksaddict.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-seven-exes-are-eight-too-many.html" target="_blank">Seven Exes are Eight Too Many</a>, which I reviewed back in 2011. I loved that book, and this book didn’t disappoint either. Bad Will Hunting tells the story of Ashley, also known as “Angry Ashley”, and her need for wanting to get revenge on EVERYONE who’s wronged her, including Ragged Royalty. Throughout this novel, I struggled with a love/hate relationship with Ashley. At times she could be really sweet, then she’d be really angry; when she was angry and hell-bent on revenge, it was hard for me to actually like her, but in the end, I ended up loving her just as much as I loved MC in Seven Exes are Eight Too Many. Since I read the first book in the series back in 2011, I had a hard time remembering Ashley, but I was able to catch on quickly after a few chapters. Overall, this novel was an excellent read, and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!</div>

<b>Q. What inspired the plot for "The Marrying Type"?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">I started plotting a wedding-related <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="a5fcbdcb-369b-4088-b59e-998c3e7a84a6" id="e1ba5fd9-44a5-4d86-a652-5920d5558b6c">book</gs> back in college, but it wasn’t until I read Jane Austen’s “Persuasion” that I had a more concrete idea of what the story would look like. After deciding to write a contemporary <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="08ce98da-023f-4378-8e71-b808de5f99e4" id="99371898-715d-454b-9d86-667bfc9e556d">reimagining</gs>, I was inspired to modernize the story with a wedding reality show, because I used to binge-watch episodes of “Whose Wedding is it Anyway?” and “Say Yes to the Dress.”</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Q. Who would you cast as Elliot and Eric if The Marrying Type was made into a film?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">This is a tough question to answer, because I tend to change my mind from day to day. Right now, I imagine Elliot as being played by Emilia Clark (Daenerys on HBO’s “Game of Thrones”). And after seeing him in "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," I'd cast Andrew Ridings as Eric. This could change tomorrow (and it actually did when I wrote this answer). I’d love to hear what other people imagine once they read the book.</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Q. Are you and Elliot similar or completely different from one another?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">We share some similarities--we’re both emotional eaters and a little scared to try new things--but we’re pretty different. She is more organized, patient, and <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="f97c4e91-e292-4843-92d9-8b36ad2913d3" id="b1b98a4d-7278-4231-8dbc-b5277468d223">kind</gs> than I am. She’s also much better at follow-through, for example, if she says she’s going to exercise, she goes for a run. By comparison, I’m the kind of person who spends hours making a monthly meal plan and going grocery shopping only to pick up a burrito or order pizza instead.</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Q. While you were writing this novel, I read that you indulged in all kinds of wedding <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="37c860c1-6c19-44aa-abb2-7bc6893a342b" id="574edc56-19e8-4a8a-b22f-b42135cb3ab0">shows</gs>; did you also do mock cake tastings and try on wedding dresses as well?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">No, but I definitely should have! I’ll admit that during the final editing process, I rediscovered my love for cupcakes and indulged in trying a lot of varieties. I live next door to a cupcake shot that previously appeared on “Cupcake Wars,” so I’ve had ample opportunity to sample new varieties.</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Q. What are you currently reading?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">Right now I’m actually reading the second draft of my third novel. I have a tough time reading other books while I’m writing or heavily editing my own. As soon as that goes to my beta readers, I plan to finish reading “Zoey and the Moment of Zen” by my very talented label-mate Cat Lavoie and “Goodnight June” by Sarah Jio is sitting on my nightstand.</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Q. Would you say that you're more of a plotter or a panster?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">I’m definitely a plotter. I create fairly detailed character sketches and a scene by scene outline of the book before I get too heavily invested in the project. I’ve tried <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="b7de8669-bc33-4fc5-be01-ddb3bbc91798" id="5dad130c-7d9c-4c19-9540-484792078165">pantsing</gs>, but I always end up stopping to create the outline a few pages <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="b7de8669-bc33-4fc5-be01-ddb3bbc91798" id="a31649b9-045c-43a3-8874-273692ab167b">in</gs> or I’ve chucked the project. I have to know where we’re going. That said, my outlines are always subject to change, and sometimes I’ll add or remove scenes after the first draft of the novel. One of my favorite scenes in “The Marrying Type” came about in the third draft.</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Q. What is your favorite thing to munch on while writing?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">I wish I could say something super healthy like apple slices or celery and peanut butter,. While those are frequent writing snacks when I’m on the healthy living wagon, my favorite writing snacks are cinnamon gummy bears and Cheez-its. I like to <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="f48b66cd-68d0-4278-8724-c0c92c30611f" id="7f3fab0e-0af0-46d0-94b8-d7de7e8ff5a3">lineup</gs> the <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="f48b66cd-68d0-4278-8724-c0c92c30611f" id="ae8f1563-a5b6-426b-b1ce-b3abb2008f07">bears</gs> in rows on my desk before eating them. It’s much more dramatic and delicious that way.</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Q. How does it make you feel, being a published author, and actually seeing your name on the front cover of your novels?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">It’s still surreal. I’ll even admit that sometimes I feel slightly embarrassed about it. Not in a bad way, but kind of like when you had a solo in <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="04bfdad1-1456-4478-994b-b1db25256002" id="9dbe8314-cb67-4bfa-a6f7-76efa6ec740b">choir</gs>. You were excited to do it, and it took a lot of work, and you’re proud. But once you’re standing in front of that audience, you feel a little exposed and shy being the center of attention.</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Q. Out of all of the novels and short stories you've written, which one would you say is your favorite?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">That’s another tough question, and I imagine it’s like picking a favorite child! Each one has a special place in my heart for different reasons. “Hard Hats and Doormats” was something I wrote to help me laugh at a complicated time in my life. “The Marrying Type” showed I was growing as a writer. And the Autumn and Tuck shorts were exciting, because I wrote them so quickly and at a time when I felt like I had writer’s block. But, I’m very much a “love the one you’re with” kind of girl. I’m in the process of plotting my next book, and right now it’s my favorite. I’ll probably hate it by the time I’ve gone round after round with it in the editing process!</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Q. What can your fans expect next?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">I have fans? (Hi, Mom!) As mentioned, I have a third novel going through the beta writing process. It’s the first novel in a series, and the sequel is near completion. I hope the first book in the series is publication ready within the year, but I won’t count those chicks just yet. By the time this post goes live, I am hopefully neck-deep into writing the first draft of a Christmas novella due out later this year. Hopefully I haven’t jinxed myself by publicly discussing these projects! If all goes to plan, I’ll start writing my fifth book, the standalone story I’m plotting, later this year.</span></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b>Q. Last year, when we had our first interview, I asked you for advice for aspiring authors; and since I'd hate to make you repeat your advice again, I'm going to try something different. What advice do you have for people who have written their novels and think it's not good enough? What about for the people who believe they are ready to publish their novel?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">If you fall into the first group of people, I’m with you, buddies. After you’ve written and revised and re-written and re-revised your manuscript so many times, it’s hard to still have affection for your project, and it’s easy to lose your confidence in it. At this point, I’d suggest taking a break from your story. Either step away from it completely and work on something else, or send it to a trusted friend or colleague who can beta-read it for you. He or she can offer you more objective feedback that might help you pinpoint what it is about this story that just doesn’t feel publication-ready. If you go the first route and take a little break, give yourself a few weeks or even months, because this will give you a chance to look at the novel with your own fresh set of eyes. You can’t do that when it’s too fresh on your mind. If you think your book is ready to publish, again, send it to a few beta-readers. Also, go over it again yourself to look for any editing errors. Once you’ve done that, and you feel really good about it, you can either query your book with agents or publishers or decide to self-publish it. No matter which route you go, make sure you have the book in the best shape possible. You might want to hire an editor, and I definitely encourage you to go that route if you self-publish. No matter how careful you are, there’s always going to be a typo or misspelled word that you miss. It’s just science.</span></b></center>

It’s not until the object of my stalking walks through the doorway that I consider maybe my crazy mother was right. I quickly realize how insane that would make me for believing her and force myself to stop thinking like my mother. I’ve always been more <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="ae9809f5-846c-494c-93ce-c7e683f6ec40" id="b34c38b3-1e57-4f70-8c44-f26a516cd8e3">levelheaded</gs> than both my parents, and I want to hold onto the trait.
Tearing my attention away from him, I lean over to grab my textbook and a pen out of my bag. When I sit up, I’m surprised to find he’s taken the desk right next to mine.
Up close, he’s even better looking, but there’s a hint of nervousness in his eyes that I didn’t notice while looking through the lens, which is kind of strange. Usually, I see more when I’m taking pictures. Or maybe he was just happier when he was around his friend.
“Hey,” he greets me with a slightly nervous smile.
“Hey.” I rack my brain for something to say that won’t make me sound awkward, but he beats me to the punch.
“I’m Seth,” he says, extending his hand to me.
“Greyson.” I take his hand, noting it shakes a little in mine. “Is this your first class?”
“For the fall semester, yeah.”
“You’re not a freshman?”
“No, I am,” he replies. “I just started the year this summer.”
I smile, and decide to flirt a little, see where it goes. “So you should be a pro at classes by now.”
“You would think so,” he muses. “But I’m not a fan of school and being a fantastic student is at the bottom of my list, right between getting a good night’s rest and becoming friends with my <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="0ad29f7e-953f-45e6-bf42-c9ff5275f3b2" id="26789c61-a51a-416b-ace8-30fcfd3fc043">slobbish</gs> roommate.”
“You live in the dorm?” I ask and he nods. “I actually thought about doing that, but my parents insisted I <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="cdebead4-7939-4e70-98d6-9a8f1172df6c" id="25a94107-e36c-4415-9898-4940376a1a03">need</gs> a place of my own. That it’s good for my aura.”
His brow cocks. “Aura?”
“Yeah, they’re a little crazy like that, but in a good way.” I try to pick up on the vibe he’s giving. Is he just being friendly? Or is he interested in me?
I watch as his eyes trail down over my neck and chest, suddenly realizing that we’re still holding hands. Definitely a bit awkward, but in a good way. And that means he’s interested, right?
When his gaze reaches our joined hands, he startles and quickly pulls away. I catch a flash of alarm in his eyes as he scans the room before looking back at me.
He clears his throat. “So, you just moved here?”
I wonder why he’s acting so weird suddenly. Maybe I misread his interest. Doubtful, though, so what is it? “Yeah, from Florida.”
His eyes snap wide. “Holy shit. How the hell did you end up going from the sunshine state to cowboy central?”
“Is Wyoming cowboy central? I thought that was Texas?”
“Clearly, you haven’t been around when the fair rolls in. It’s like rodeo central. Nothing but cowboy hats, boots, and ridiculously tight pants as far as the eye can see.”
“Sounds… interesting, I guess.”
“Try horrifying. Some of the stuff I’ve seen through those tight jeans,” he shudders, “still haunts my nightmares.”
I laugh at him and he grins, obviously pleased with himself. Like how he was with the girl earlier, he seems to enjoy making people laugh.
I consider what my mom said about finding friends and going out on dates. He’s hot, nice, and funny. As long as I can keep the conversation going and find the right moment, I might ask him out. Get <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="5f8efa37-6198-49e8-a0c0-39326f032c8c" id="dcce346b-ed5a-4d6c-b206-334ef159e764"><gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="3b1a2cac-4914-4e9c-aacb-cbb098851384" id="7026cd2e-9507-40c7-bec9-0a59b139e1f7">myself</gs></gs> out of the damn rut I’ve been in.

Prologue
<strong>Asher</strong>
I’ve been in love with Ember Rose Edwards for a while, but she doesn’t know it. I can’t tell her, either, not when the battle’s ending solely rests on her making a choice and sacrificing someone she loves. If I were to divulge how I feel, I’d be interfering even more, and I’ve already been banished <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="0d39f6c2-9fd0-48f7-b9fd-e574342fbbe4" id="22515473-eed8-4b7a-ba1d-8ec0c4b2840e">for</gs> entering her life. It’s not something I regret. I made the choice the day I first saw her. I wanted her in my life, regardless of the consequences.
That day <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="a1e07747-4707-49cb-8b6f-3983f1b06816" id="efbe11e2-6ea5-4ea7-a052-e5168293aba7">feels</gs> like such a long time ago, yet it hasn’t been more than a few months. So much has happened since then. So much has changed, for the better and the worse.
<em>God, we were both so different back then.</em>
As I sit beside her bed and watch Ember sleep, my thoughts drift back to the day when I first laid eyes on her…
<em>I was sent to that place to collect a soul, but what I didn’t expect was that I’d end up at a house crammed with a ton of humans, dry humping the shit out of each other. I had instantly wanted to get the hell out.</em>
<em>A rock song plays on the stereo and floats across the room full of people dancing. Beer cans and cups cover the floors, and the air is drenched with the stench of cigarettes. It has been a long week. Michael, the leader of the Angels, has sent me <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="39bb5adc-ba5e-4d83-8df9-a5a0777823ce" id="89f284a5-7ce8-43f8-bfbc-b88a83f95a26">on</gs> a total of five missions to collect souls, which is a large amount compared to most Angels. Then again, Michael has never been a fan of me, considering I have Reaper blood.</em>
<em>My sole purpose tonight is to wait until the person <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="c2eacf31-e847-47cc-bb7f-723364c2d9f3" id="a13585a4-04ad-483c-b117-0d39bc8daf54">dies then</gs> collect their <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="c2eacf31-e847-47cc-bb7f-723364c2d9f3" id="21c84c8f-62fb-430f-b704-79b9f3e8431a">soul</gs> before the Reapers get <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="c2eacf31-e847-47cc-bb7f-723364c2d9f3" id="47276cc1-8e49-4326-b7eb-3d8e4143979f">ahold</gs> of it. I’ve already spotted three Anamotti, and I’m guessing they’re here for the same reason I am—waiting for the person to pass away.</em>
<em>I sense a fight in the air, thick and heavy, like tar.</em>
<em>I lean against the wall near the corner, watching the crowd, drinking a beer, eager for the night to be over. As my gaze travels over each human, I wonder which one of them is the unlucky person who will die tonight. Humans are so fragile, so...</em>
<em>The air suddenly thins and charges with electricity, full of life and death mixed together. My attention drifts to the side of me, my senses sharpening as I zero in on a girl. Ember Rose Edwards. Her name comes to me like a breath of fresh air.</em>
<em>I’ve never met her before, but know her name for solely one reason—she carries Angel blood, just like she carries Reaper blood.</em>
<em>Sadly, I haven’t crossed paths with a Grim Angel in a while, because Reapers are making them a dying breed. Usually, I pass by without so much as a second glance, despite my connection to them. This time, though, I find myself staring. One, two, three songs go by, and I still can’t seem to take my eyes off her.</em>
<em>She’s gorgeous, to say the least. Dark hair flows down her back, skin as pale as snow, full lips as red as a rose, and big, hazel eyes. But her beauty isn’t the only thing that captures my attention. It’s the pain hidden in her eyes, masked beneath her strength.</em>
<em>Her attention is fixed on the throng of dancing people, and she looks as uninterested as I felt until I laid eyes on her. She keeps her distance, too, probably because of her Grim Angel ability to see death with a touch.</em>
<em>I know I should stay away. Let her be. I’ll be breaking a lot of rules if I interfere with her life, but I find myself moving in her direction, drawn to her.</em>
<em>When I reach her, I whisper the first thing that comes to mind. “God, it’s like mating season in here.”</em>
<em>She shudders from the feel of my breath and stumbles forward, stomping on the toe of my boot. As she regains her balance, her gaze whips in my direction and slowly travels from my boots to my shirt then finally rests on my eyes. She swallows hard as our gazes lock, and I realize she is afraid of something.</em>
<em>“Sorry, I didn’t mean to frighten you,” I apologize quickly.</em>
<em>She shivers <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="62fb9a37-3f5f-4536-892b-bcb3ad08a17e" id="48c84c84-9856-40d6-9726-66bd28db9ffc">again then</gs> clears her throat. “Sorry about your shoes.” She starts to back away nervously. “Crowded rooms just make me a little uneasy.”</em>
<em>I chuckle, crunching the empty cup in my hand and chucking it into a nearby <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="6f749183-3b8b-4a95-a2b1-8ad1eb4f86b7" id="000b2740-bcf4-4f80-8908-937cf41a90f7">trashcan</gs>. “I know what you mean. All this”—I gesture at the people dry humping one another—“is an excuse for the opposite sex to rub up on one another.”</em>
<em>“That’s a pretty good observation.” She almost smiles, and I feel like I won the lottery or something.</em>
<em>Pressing my lips together, I inch closer and lean over her shoulder.

I won’t put her through that, though, so I make sure to leave a sliver of space between us.</em>
<em>“Take those <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="0eda1ec0-f6c8-4c7d-a976-9e6ce272b459" id="a0279d4b-a084-43cd-b047-3001a1840a16">two for</gs> instance.” I point at a girl with pink hair dancing with a gangly guy. He moves with a huge lack of coordination, while the girl is graceful, looking bored as hell. “I think they’ve got their own mating ritual going on. Although, I think it might be a one-sided mating ritual.”</em>
<em>She tracks where I’m looking. “I think you’re right.” She turns to me, and for a moment, the pain in her <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="62beac60-7b84-43d8-abdb-74e90ff147b5" id="c0ea69ef-b6f1-4c19-bc69-1c66386eb008">eyes</gs> vanishes and pure lust flashes, instead. “It looks like she’s bored.”</em>
<em>My heart thuds deafeningly inside my chest from the look of desire in her eyes directed at me. “Is she a friend of yours?”</em>
<em>She nods, biting her lip <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="271e2158-2814-4c21-8055-6b0a1316b87e" id="c2d41541-5f22-4641-afde-4517af7cebcf">contemplatively</gs>. “Her name’s Raven.”</em>
<em>I cock my pierced brow. “Like the poem?”</em>
<em>“You know Edgar Allan Poe?” <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="193a5fd3-5f99-4f96-9ba3-279826686720" id="8b892ce4-411d-41cd-b9b8-bc249f0c21b5">He</gs> face lights up with excitement.</em>
<em>Jackpot. The girl has it bad for the dead poet, who I vaguely remember meeting two centuries ago.</em>
<em>“A little bit.” I stare at her beauty, trying to figure out what to do next. I know what my body wants to do with her, and my mind seems to be veering toward the same thing. Regardless, I’d be in a shitload of trouble for touching her. Fuck, even this conversation is going to get me into trouble.</em>
<em>“What’s your name?” I ask, trying to act as normal as I can.</em>
<em>“Ember.” She scoots forward, holding her breath as a girl stumbles by, having a drunken conversation with the air.</em>
<em>“Ember<gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="9dfb6ee6-9fa0-47b8-adb2-39b196fb2c1f" id="ea6a1564-69fe-442d-9cb5-4223a9fa81a5"> …</gs> I like it.” I dare a step or two closer and breathe in the faint scent of her—roses with a hint of lilies. “ ‘And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor,’ ” I quote the one line I can remember from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.”</em>
<em>“I thought you said you knew a little?” she asks me, impressed.</em>
<em>I shrug, stuffing my hands into my pockets. “What can I say? I’m fascinated with the idea<gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="8aaef689-7e99-467b-bc39-68aaa0d7b0b5" id="b468817e-4010-40f6-bce6-ce22331a5241"> …</gs> love, death, and the insanity it brings.”</em>
<em>She grows uncomfortable with my mention of death, and her eyes anxiously sweep the crowd as if she’s seeking an escape. I can’t have her leave just yet. I need to keep her here a little longer. I don’t want her to go.</em><br>

Wiping my hand off with a rag, I step back from the car. “It looks like it might—” My back bumps into Ayden.
He hardly ever instigates contact first, <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="8b27e720-c016-4c07-b2d9-8e9b5fb158f2" id="f2deb1c0-b7bc-49d4-85d5-a27b2d8e1f86">expect</gs> on rare, amazing, wonder-filled occasions, so I allow myself to enjoy the earth-shattering moment and breathe in the feel of his body heat.
I smile stupidly when he doesn’t move away. “<gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="74e5c4f0-67aa-425e-8be8-6d4621e6a6ec" id="0df99257-570b-46cf-b360-ff191abe2d8a">Whatcha</gs> doing?”
“Nothing.” His voice is uneven, revealing his nerves. “I <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="4f58973b-f7cb-40fa-8056-d95d4d3e5773" id="f8a219b1-1c1a-4649-bab0-13b8135dfb1c">was</gs> just…” He releases a <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="4f58973b-f7cb-40fa-8056-d95d4d3e5773" id="f7981412-cb15-43af-8c6e-f6be00ee1c21">breath then</gs> places his hands on my hips. Surprisingly, his fingers are steady. “I just wanted to touch you.” He rests his forehead against the back of my head and inhales deeply. “And to make sure you’re okay.”
“Okay about what?” My eyelids drift shut as I lean into his touch.
<em>His simple touches are better than light.</em>
<em> They awaken my body and bring it to life.</em>
<em> More. More. More, my body is craving.</em>
<em> The addiction is potent, consuming, aching.</em>
<em> Leaves my body wanting, pleading, shaking.</em>
<em> Sometimes I feel like I’m withering, fading.</em>
<em> Fading. Fading. Fading.</em>
<em> Into him.</em>
“About<gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="3f829cb9-f72a-4b12-ab26-c802ef557b56" id="e40ad4ba-cbd9-4323-aeff-5566e3d868b0"> …</gs> about what happened the other day<gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="3f829cb9-f72a-4b12-ab26-c802ef557b56" id="af5181d9-d0ce-4340-992f-81986fc5df63"> …</gs> when I sleepwalked.” His fingers grasp onto me, and his chest crashes against my back as his shallow breaths turn ragged. “I know I probably freaked you out. I’ve been meaning to ask you about it, but I didn’t want to upset you, so I decided to wait until stuff cooled off.”
“I’m not upset about what happened.” And not surprised one little bit that my theory about him was right. I turn around and loop my arms around him. “I’m just worried about you and how you’re handling it.”
“I’m fine,” he swears, searching my eyes for my true feelings. He forgets, though, that I’m like an open book.<br>

<b>During her time on "Ragged Royalty", Ashley developed a reputation as the show's scowling shrew. Clever editing, no doubt, but she still hates it.

She knows what doesn't, though--ever seeing MC or Kent or any of the other contestants again. She hates all of them and they hate her too. Who could like "Angry Ashley"?</b><br />
<b>When she meets sexy attorney Will on the flight home, she believes he can help her get everything she needs. Until he double-crosses her. Now she needs revenge on him too.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>After reluctantly enlisting fellow contestant Sam's much-needed help in her "Bad Will Hunting" mission, Ashley turns up a ton of dead ends but also some exciting life-changing possibilities. But she can't get over her need to get one over on Will, and on everyone else who's wronged her.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>With so much "bad will" in her way, can Ashley ever find true happiness?</b><br />

Forced to confront her past, Elliot must live out her troubled present on national TV if she has any hope of saving her future.<br />

<b>Review: </b>I was given an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest opinion, and I absolutely loved this book. This book tells the story of wedding planner, Elliot Lynch, and the sacrifices she makes for her family's business, Engagements; including starring on a reality show. Along the way, Elliot must plan a wedding for her ex-boyfriend's sister, and he's involved in the entire process. I loved the bond between Elliot and Sadie, and even the strained (at times) bond between Elliot and Eric. Overall, this novel was one of my favorite reads of this year, and I <b><u>highly recommend</u></b> this novel!Josie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648704471215915936noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258517953679254013.post-55933892799945145132015-03-12T07:05:00.000-07:002015-03-12T07:05:16.675-07:00The Bond I Have with My Sister(s)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last September, Kedra gave birth to a little boy that was only 2 pounds and 2 ounces; he had to stay in the NICU for a few months.

<strong>Emery</strong>
No matter how hard I try, I never seem to be able to escape my family’s world. Their madness controls my life, just like insanity consumes my mind.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s real.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell who I really am. The person everyone sees? Or the one I keep trapped inside?
I wonder which person <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="16d32f4f-61b4-4432-918d-fdc7920749e1" id="62562bd8-aef7-4d0c-88bb-c76253ed7a87">Ryler</gs> sees. Just like I wonder who I can trust.
<em>Wonder. Wonder. Wonder. </em>
I wonder too much.
I wish I could just find a way to escape it all and finally be free.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I live a double life and sometimes I hate myself for it. Watching Emery fall apart—pretending I don’t care—is killing me inside.
I want to tell her the truth, but I also want a new life.
<em>Want. Want. Want. </em>
I want too much. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what I really desire.
I wish I could be free from the confusion, free from this life.</div>

“If you want to dance, dance. There’s no judgment <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="f4b0ffc0-6e87-4a78-a451-a0712f8afbfd" id="e3a27643-5b52-4e50-8fda-2c28703f7539">at</gs> these things, which makes them pretty awesome.”
She smiles, and then threads her fingers through mine. “Okay, let’s dance, then.”
I don’t bother mentioning that dancing can be extremely sexy when done under the right circumstances—circumstances that usually include alcohol and sexual tension.
At first, Emery is cautious, keeping her distance from me as she rocks her hips to the music. I move with her. I’ve never really been into dancing, but I can rock out to a little garage rock any day. The longer the song goes on, the more into <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="d5c33c2d-b27e-45e3-9754-5c06162ecd3e" id="d1bf6ed4-f089-407e-9124-35d16ad59dfc">it she</gs> gets, until she finally spins around and presses her back against my chest. That’s when the two of us decide to start playing a dangerous game of Want But Can’t Have. A very, very dangerous game that is really fucking tortuous to play yet impossible to give up.
Emery starts grinding her hips to the sultry beat of the song. With each movement, her ass brushes against my cock, making me go rock hard. I grip the curves of her hips and my hands unnecessarily slip underneath the bottom of her shirt. My fingers delve into her soft flesh, and I bite back a moan. Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve forgotten just how soft her skin is, how amazing she smells, how incredible she feels against me.
She shivers from my touch and presses closer, rolling her hips and driving my body absolutely mad. She repeats the movement over and over again, until finally, I damn near lose my mind.
Gripping her waist, I spin her around to face me. “I thought you didn’t know how to dance?”

<br />
<b>My Rating</b>: <span style="font-size: x-large;">5/5</span><br />
<br />
<b>Summary</b>: Twenty-four-year-old Summer Johnson knows two things. The first is that due to a quickly worsening medical condition, she faces a risky surgery in three months’ time that may or may not end in her death. The second is that she would like to fall in love before then.<br />
<br />
As spring sinks into her namesake season on the Florida coastline, Summer plays the odds and downloads a new dating app - and after one intriguing message from a beautiful surfer named Cooper Nichols, it becomes clear that the story of what may be her last few months under the sun is about to be completely revised. All she has to do now is write something worth reading.<br />
<br />
Tender, honest, devastating and triumphant, The Summer Remains explores a very human battle being waged in a very digital age: the search for a love that will outlast this temporary borrowing of bones. In an era when many feel compelled to share and re-share anything about everything, prepare to feel a love so special, you will want to hug it close and make it yours forever.<br />
<br />
<b>Review</b>: I received a copy of this novel from Southern Belle Promotions in exchange for my honest opinion. God, where do I even start?! This is the second novel I’ve read by Seth King, and I absolutely loved it! This novel tells the story of 24-year-old Summer Johnson, who was born with Esophageal Intresia. As Summer’s condition worsens, she realizes that she’s about to face her biggest battle/surgery yet. Along the way, Summer meets a guy, Cooper Nichols, on the internet. Although Summer thinks her life is coming to an end, she realizes that <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="6de083fe-6bd0-452a-9e08-6d986eba8b2c" id="b6af12e9-9271-4f69-935c-66ce7f5014e1">its</gs> only just begun. This novel isn’t your ordinary romance novel, it’s more than that. I must admit, after reading The Goode Fight, my expectations were high for this novel, and Seth King definitely exceeded them with this one. This is the type of novel that doesn’t end, even once you’re finished; it’s forever etched in your brain. The Summer Remains <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="dc913613-a825-4934-835e-8ed553bc24d5" id="eccf71be-ecbd-4a30-a612-9463248e6d9c">is</gs> emotional, fun, sweet, but most of all realistic. I was dreading the end of this book for multiple reasons (because I knew I’d cry like a big baby), but it was the most perfect ending for <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="7f313599-fbd6-4d38-9cdc-cd6c5d14d8dc" id="3b1a1f8c-7ef4-455a-a1ec-6414f2e819c1">Summer</gs> and Cooper. Everyone deserves a Summer and Cooper in their life. This novel evoked so many different emotions in me that I wanted to hug and punch Seth King at the same time for writing something so incredible. So if you’re looking for a novel that you want to be etched in your brain forever, read The Summer Remains. You won’t be disappointed. This is definitely a <b><u>STOP EVERYTHING YOU’RE DOING AND BUY/RENT/MEMORIZE WORD FOR WORD</u></b> read!!!<br />

<b>She is attuned to Cal’s last-minute routine, his footfalls in the hallway, the clatter of the garage door opening, closing. Just to be certain, she pulls back the curtain, peers out the window and watches his car pull away.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>No. She is not that desperate. She will not dig through the trash.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>But Ginny is prepossessed. She takes a stealthy glance, finding the doughnut intact, unsullied by coffee grounds or leaks from last night’s takeout boxes. Her teeth sink into the supple, yielding surface, and there is a moment of bliss, a moment of relief—a moment of vengeance.</b><br />
<b><br /></b><b>JC Miller will be on tour February 23-March 9 with her novel <i>The To-D0 List</i></b><br />
<br />
Between unending housework and thankless efforts to appease a loutish husband and acid-tongue teens, Ginny Cooper’s to-do list never seems to get done. Her guilty pleasure—fantasizing about her husband’s demise—her weakness—the drive-thru at Arby’s. On the job as head librarian at the county’s obsolete library, tedium reigns. One afternoon Ginny innocently stumbles upon a dating website, where the rabbit hole awaits.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>
Who is Ginny Cooper? She is every woman who knows the exact number of calories in a Snickers bar, every woman who has ever struggled with her weight. She is every woman who has grappled with the gray areas, every woman who has wanted to escape her own life. At times the reader will want to reach between the pages, shake her, and talk some sense into her. But Ginny will have to navigate her own road. And through it all, we root for her.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>
Ginny’s childhood memories of her fading hometown provide a bittersweet backdrop for The To-Do List.<br />

<br />
The scars on Beth's face aren't nearly as deep as the ones she nurses on the inside. She was born with hemifacial microsomia and was supposed to feel "lucky" that she wasn't as disfigured as some people.<br />
<br />
One boy, Lucky O'Leary, starts to find the cracks in her hard shell and finds himself falling for her. Only Lucky has a secret--he needs to bring Beth to a "dog dinner" or lose his spot on the team. She can't find out that the guy who brings the ugliest date wins a prize.<br />
<br />
<b>Review</b>: This was a very short, quick read. The book tells the story of a girl, Beth, who works at a diner. She has low self-esteem and tries to cover her face with her hair, due to her disability. She meets a boy, Lucky, who never seems to have an off day. They develop a friendship over time, but it's brought to a hault when Lucky is ordered to bring Beth to a dog-dinner…the ending result is priceless.Josie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648704471215915936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258517953679254013.post-65188270882088445702015-02-25T22:21:00.000-08:002015-02-25T22:21:15.918-08:00Review: Our Hair by Leslie DuBois<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Review</b>: This is the first book I read for 2015, and I thought this was a really cute book. The author, Leslie DuBois, shines a light on African American hair, letting little boys and girls know how special, and different (in a good way), African American hair truly is. I thought this was a very cute book, and I think parents' should read this book to their children so they can grasp the uniqueness of their hair.Josie Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12648704471215915936noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4258517953679254013.post-22012895999516573152015-02-13T07:46:00.001-08:002015-02-13T07:49:25.423-08:00Valentine's Day Sale<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-23466" src="http://chicklitplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/WISHING-YOU-A-300x213.png" alt="WISHING YOU A" width="300" height="213">

<strong>Jerry Maguire ruined my life.</strong>
Did he have any idea of the impact of those three little words on people's lives? I got married because of them. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
I'm Lucy Stars and I give advice to the lovelorn on a podcast from my kitchen table. My qualifications? None whatsoever, except for the fact that I've had more relationships than I can count or even remember, so by definition, I'm an expert.
<strong>And all because I was looking for someone to complete me.</strong>
My life reads like a chick-lit bestseller. Swear. Or a good beach read when you want to hit the pause button on life. But for me? My story doesn't end on the last page.
My incredibly romantic husband, Kraft Conboy, is a successful and oh, so handsome life coach. His specialty? Women. Relationships. Romance. He was nothing short of inspirational. My plan was to live happily ever after...with him. The pages of our lives would unfold like a sexy, romantic comedy or maybe even a contemporary romance novel. And? He was good in bed.
<strong>But my life zagged when it should have zigged.</strong>
It took a left turn when it should have gone right. I remember the exact moment because I was about to start my show. That's when it happened. The zagging, I mean.
Kraft walked in and announced he wanted a divorce. I was so stunned that I actually asked him who was getting divorced because I thought he was talking about someone else! But then he said it again. I didn't know what to do, so I begged him to stay. I know, bad move. And then? He turned on his heel and walked out the door.
I turned back to my computer. In the shock of the moment, I'd gotten distracted; I still had a webcast to give. What in God's name was staring back at me? Lights. Lots of lights on my screen. My callers were trying to get through. Oh, no, my microphone was live! My entire audience had just heard me get dumped! And heard me plead, no, beg, for him to stay. I give relationship advice and I tell people not to do that!
My romantic comedy had turned into a horror film and there was no pause button to hit.
What happened next I couldn't have predicted.
<strong>Call it genius. Call it serendipity. Call it meant to be.</strong>
Look, I can't tell you everything, you'll have to read the book!

Divorced thirty-something Claire doesn’t know who’s in her dating pool—but she’s doing her best to avoid shark infested waters. Leaving her clueless and insensitive husband behind was a smart move after losing her fertility, but now she’s riding the wave of flying toupees, strange men in leather thongs and drunken nights in painfully impractical shoes. Claire desperately wanted to be a mother, but now she’ll settle for one middle aged man worthy of a second date.
After a long drought, men are flooding her shores and she’s drowning in choices. There’s Justin, the 25-year-old IT boy-genius with the GQ looks and cougar fetish, who won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. A woman would have to be a blind, lesbian nun not to fall for him, but he reminds Claire of her wasted youth. And then the charming but mysterious Dr. Nathan appears, but he’s cheating on her with his medical mistress—a demanding cardiology practice.
To further rock her boat, Claire’s ‘stable’ career in publishing has been tossed about by her floundering company’s launch of a new line of trendy, salacious books. Cookbooks aren’t selling these days, but erotica is flying off the shelves—and challenging Claire’s attitude about sex, work . . . and her tempestuous new life.
When her best friend convinces her to buddy up to the aspiring writer who just moved in across the street, Claire rejects the idea—he has already caught her in more than one embarrassing and scantily clad situation. Giving in to her friend’s nudging, she tries to ignore the details she discovers about him, including his hard rock night gig and his mesmerizing blue eyes, in the hopes his literary talents can pull her publishing house up from the bottom of the ocean.
Claire’s dilemma begs the question: Are there NO men or TOO MANY?

A novel about chasing dreams, for better or worse, and living your love story.
Claire Linley is finally a bride! After nearly ten years with her college freshman sweetheart, Claire is going to become Mrs. Conner Whitley. She’s got her bridal magazines, is the biggest Martha Stewart fan, and subscribes to all the major wedding blogs. She’s been dreaming of this moment for years! How could planning her dream wedding be anything but perfect?
The easy-going and bubbly type, Claire will obviously have a blast planning, and with her fantastic group of girlfriends-made-bridesmaids she just can’t go wrong. Whether it’s wedding gown shopping, makeup trials, or cake-tasting, Claire’s friends are there in a pinch.
But how big does the pinch get? All Claire wants to do is get married, but at every turn something seems to go awry and she’s starting to lose it. How is a girl supposed to remain cool and collected when the pricey dream wedding planner isn’t turning out to be so dreamy? When DIY projects and the perfect venue are going up in smoke? How is Claire supposed to marry Conner when the special day that’s supposed to join them together, forever, is slowly tearing them apart?
This is the charming story about how sometimes the biggest events in life are defined by the smallest acts of kindness and love. It’s a love story about dreaming large, loving deeply, and, in the end, truly having the happiest day of your life, no matter what happens (or doesn’t). About what happens when girlfriends chase dreams.

When a freak fast-food accident almost kills dayreaming city girl Lisa Flyte, she decides it's time to get a backbone and really start living out loud. But how is a shrinking violet like Lisa supposed to get tough all of a sudden after a lifetime of watching from the couch? Jack Hawkins, that's how. When Lisa finds out that the outdoor extremist needs a clueless urbanite to test his top-secret line of idiot-proof adventure gear, she gets the most outlandish idea of her life: she will be his undercover test dummy if he helps her become brave on their adventures in the wild.
They strike a deal. Lisa survives the treks, jumps, and dives (barely!) But can she use her bumbling...uh, blossoming outdoor moxie to become the alpha hero of her everyday life? Will she find the grit to pursue a career she really wants or the nerve to stand up to her bullying family? And will she get gutsy enough to go after Jack? He's a man who's not afraid of anything...except maybe falling for Lisa.

Sydney Bennett is back! And her pursuit of perfection is alive and well. Naïve to the core, Sydney believed that when she finally married the man of her dreams, the hard part was over. Following a civil ceremony as a means to keep Louis from being deported, Sydney continues to plan the fairytale wedding that she had dreamed of since the age of five. Much to her chagrin, she discovers that her mother-in-law is planning what seems to be a rival wedding in France that SHE has been dreaming about for her only child since before he was born. How will poor Sydney be able to ensure two perfect weddings in the midst of Louis’ fruitless job search? Especially when her mother-in-law’s idea of perfection appears to be having Sydney embarrass herself in front of hundreds of French people that she has never met?
As if she didn’t have enough on her mind already, Sydney finds herself faced with the trials and tribulations of being a wife. Sydney had always heard that marriage was hard, but she thought that this was just a ruse that married couples portrayed in a bid to make single girls feel less desperate. But as the bills pile up and emotions run high, she realizes that there may just be some truth to this statement. And as she watches Louis’ perfection fade away before her very eyes, she begins to wonder if she made a rash decision in marrying a man that she had known for a mere six months.
With all of the obstacles that Sydney and Louis will encounter, will they be raising their glasses in celebration or watching their impulsive marriage crash and burn? One thing is for certain, Sydney and Louis Durand are headed for one hell of a toast…

<em>For every girl who wondered if she should love him or dump him.....
For every girl who listened to her heart instead of her friends advice....
For every girl who l wondered if she was wasting her time dating that guy....</em>
<em> meet Hilary....</em>
She had gotten used to dating the commitment-phobic Marc, thirteen years her senior. They had a great relationship--why rush into things? She saw no need to pressure him for marriage, believing that when the time was right, he would propose. But after they had been together for four years, their friends decided to take matters into their own hands, pushing Marc to propose and making Hilary realize how much she really did want to marry the man that she loved. Unfortunately, Marc still wasn't ready--and their friends' meddling in the form of a faux engagement party led to a disastrous New Year's Eve that brought their relationship to an inevitable turning point.
For anyone who has ever dated a commitment-phobe, who has found their patience wearing thin with the one they love, or who has sat around wondering if he is ever going to pop the question while trying to remain the very picture of patience and grace, Hilary's humorous and honest story will hit home.

When coffee shop owner Zoey Everwood takes her obsession with ex-boyfriend Braden too far, everyone—except Zoey—is convinced a bit of fun in the sun at the Moment of Zen Wellness Resort will help her get over him once and for all.
But Zoey's relaxing vacation turns out to be anything but peaceful when she meets Shane Lawson, a resort guest who bears a striking resemblance to Braden. And things get even more complicated when the resort's owner starts spilling secrets about Zoey’s aunt Nessa, the woman who raised her. Add a snarky Wellness Coordinator and Nate Holmes—Shane's grumpy friend—to the mix, and you've got the recipe for a perfect tropical storm.
When Zoey comes back home with a new husband instead of tacky souvenirs, she must convince everyone she hasn't completely lost her mind. As Zoey and Shane struggle to keep the magic alive outside the resort, Zoey discovers that she isn't the only one having trouble letting go of the past. And when Nate drops a bombshell that changes everything, Zoey must decide if the old saying is true—what happens at the Moment of Zen stays at the Moment of Zen.

Emily Watts just wants a weekend break from the workaholic hours she's taken on to keep her business - a popular fashion-snark web site - up and running. What she gets is overnight celebrity and a career-killing media scandal.
While taking time out to attend a concert in support of friend Jesse Cinder, a struggling musician, Emily meets Cory Sampson, the lead singer of a chart-topping rock band. When she agrees to a date with Cory, making entertainment headlines is the last thing she expects. Even so, it's a minor surprise by comparison to her discovery that in the music world, media notoriety trumps all. Tabloid allegations erupt when Cory and fame-hungry Jesse use Emily for personal gain, and her tarnished image spells disaster - personally and professionally. To save the web site and writing career she's made her life and dream, Emily must go from being a pawn in the Hollywood headline game to becoming the media mastermind.

<ul>
<li>Twenty years
• Six presidential elections
• One consuming love affairFor Lucy Jones, the distinction between love and politics is hazy at best. Both can be all-consuming, and either can lead to a heart-breaking loss or an exhilarating win. Whatever the case, if you’re seen as a loser, you probably are one. Lucy first learns this lesson in 1988, when she’s a shy girl, battling a high school bully and rooting for Dukakis. Through the years Lucy will experience stunning victories and agonizing defeats as she makes the choices that define her. Meanwhile, she also struggles to define her relationship with Monty, who comes in and out of her life like the changes in public opinion. Is Monty simply a one-night stand, a kindred spirit, or the love of her life? And by 2008, can he offer her a change to believe in?Over the course of twenty years and six presidential elections, Lucy grows and adjusts with the times. Filled with snarky political and pop-culture references, November Surprise is about the journey we take to believe in a candidate, in love, and in ourselves.</li>

Single mom Grace Mason doesn't believe in miracles, magic, or love at first sight. She likes the quiet life, complete with her eight-year-old son, their tiny house, and her teaching job. For Grace, happiness means that nothing much ever changes in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
Then, one thousand miles away, tragedy strikes. A massive heart attack leaves Grace's estranged father comatose in an Upstate New York hospital. While a team of doctors fight to keep Henry Mason alive, Grace and Evan rush to his bedside to say their final goodbyes.
Henry's passing brings little closure for Grace, but she finds herself inexplicably drawn to her new surroundings. What begins as a short trip results in an entire summer spent with Henry's second wife, Kathleen, and her next-door neighbor, Ryan Gordon, the town doctor. When a series of unlikely events lead to Evan's disappearance, Grace must face her worst fears to find her son and bring him back home.
Stardust Summer explores the complexities of forgiveness, what it means to be a family, and the fabulous possibility of falling in love—again.

Between unending housework and thankless efforts to appease a loutish husband and acid-tongue teens, Ginny Cooper’s to-do list never seems to get done. Her guilty pleasure—fantasizing about her husband’s demise—her weakness—the drive-thru at Arby’s. On the job as head librarian at the county’s obsolete library, tedium reigns. One afternoon Ginny innocently stumbles upon a dating website, where the rabbit hole awaits.
Who is Ginny Cooper? She is every woman who knows the exact number of calories in a Snickers bar, every woman who has ever struggled with her weight. She is every woman who has grappled with the gray areas, every woman who has wanted to escape her own life. At times the reader will want to reach between the pages, shake her, and talk some sense into her. But Ginny will have to navigate her own road. And through it all, we root for her.
Ginny’s childhood memories of her fading hometown provide a bittersweet backdrop for The To-Do List.

Brynne Ropert and Portland Dolish have been best friends since being paired as roommates in college. Seven years later they are now twenty-five, married, and living in Maine–– but the two women couldn’t be more different. Brynne finds fulfillment in her life as a wife, mother and owner of a small café and bookshop, but is struggling to expand her family. Portland is still coping with her mother’s death during her childhood, and her marriage is unraveling before her eyes. Portland envies her friend’s seemingly stable and easy life while Brynne doesn’t understand the growing distance between them and cannot begin to guess what secret Portland is hiding about her husband and crumbling marriage. While one woman feels shut out, the other enters into a web of lies to protect herself.
A Questionable Friendship explores what really makes someone a true friend, a support system, a sister. How much trust goes into a friendship and when is being a friend not enough? Brynne and Portland’s story will attempt to answer those questions, and show that happily ever after isn’t in the cards for everyone.

Bloodpledge continues Alec and Laura’s story from Bloodgifted. Having undergone the Ritual and induction into the vampire community, Laura— the prophesised Child of Light and Darkness and last of the Ingenii—takes her place as Alec’s consort and First Lady of the Brethren. But resentment and anger grow at Alec’s privileged position as daywalker.
Among a powerful few, alliances are made and conspiracies formed, threatening a war that could destroy them all and endanger every human on Earth—creatures who would do anything to prevent the curse from ending. Now Alec and Laura must invoke the Pledge, an ancient ceremony that enforces Brethren loyalty to the Principate.
When Laura’s ex-boyfriend, Detective Inspector Matt Sommers, turns up with a threat that could expose Alec, the battle for their world and their lives begins.

Dylan Farrow puts on his pants every morning one leg at a time, just like everyone else at the Kerrigan Advertising Agency. He handles high-pressure projects with a fast turnaround. He's prized for his keen intellect and admirable performance. But how did he get where he is today—to the level of Junior Executive of Design Production?
Well, that involves how he takes his pants off...
and for whom...
Hoping to break through the glass ceiling under which she's been trapped for years, Valerie Caplan picks up her life and moves to Seattle. After hearing about the position of Senior Executive of Design Production from an art director at Kerrigan, she decides to apply. When she lands the big interview, she never thinks for a minute that she'll have any serious competition. She assumes that she has the job in the bag...until she discovers that the only competition has something she doesn't have—the willingness to go outside the office to impress Danica Stewart, their uptight female boss.

Love is a risk. If you lose it all, would you dare to risk it twice?
Hannah Rogers is lost: cynical, insecure, and withdrawn. Skeletons forged through a bad breakup that should have been a marriage proposal. Now four years later, Hannah follows her dead-end job to the big city where her only hope is to survive the next eight months as her flirtatious boss’s personal assistant. The last thing her predictable life needs is to collide with the boy responsible for breaking her heart, or the twist of fate that sends a sexy new neighbor to awaken feelings she’s long since put to bed.
Alex Sorrento doesn’t have any room in his life for another pet project. He’s already put aside his career and his personal dreams to follow his half-sister Mackenzie to the big city. Lost in the guilt over the events that nearly took her life, he feels he owes her that much. When Mackenzie befriends the new girl on the third floor, Alex finds himself defenseless against the sizzling chemistry between them and the sadness in her eyes. Can he protect Hannah from her ex without losing his heart?
In this turbulent journey about self-discovery, forgiveness, and love, some second chances aren’t worth taking, but others have their own rewards.

When Lorona's curiosity leads her to Kestrin's journal, doubt plagues them both with insecurities and threatens the relationship.

Elizabeth Lewis was the child of Hollywood’s darling couple, until her father murdered her mother. Six years later, she has traded her flashy, luxurious lifestyle for one of safe anonymity as a literary agent. With a different name and appearance, Liza Winter is living the life of her dreams—one where she’s known for who she is instead of what her father did. Except her apartment should be condemned, her car only starts when it wants, she hates the romance genre she has been assigned, and the CEO’s deliciously attractive nephew is out to ruin her carefully laid plans. Reid Harder has never met an obstacle he couldn’t overcome. When his new position in the romance department comes with a benefit his uncle didn’t mention, he decides to wage a war against the intelligent, beautiful Liza to destroy every argument she has for turning him down. Still, the closer he gets to winning the prize, the more he realizes that the woman is keeping secrets that may endanger not just her life but his. Will Liza overcome her mistrust of Reid to reveal her secrets before he learns the truth and walks away? Or will a grudge-wielding apparition from her past make her the next deadly Hollywood headline?

Continuing where Essence, Book 1, EVE series ended, the barrier between Jocelyn Timmons consciousness continues to dissolve as she better understands the two lives she lives and enormity of her newly discovered inherited gift of EVE (Essence Voyager Era) which allows her to fall asleep on one plane of existence and awaken on another as her soul travels nightly.
In Enlightened, Book 2, present-day Jocelyn uncovers the vast wonderment of the Victorian era but soon learns that life then was not as grand for women as she has read in the classics. Still, she finds comfort in the support of family and friends; a bolstering contrast to her overly hectic, career-oriented family in the twenty-first century. Her love for Jackson Chandler strengthens across time and becomes the light she so desperately needs as the world she has always known no longer makes sense. Yet, the closer she is drawn to Jackson by their mutual ability, the more strain develops amongst those she loves in 2009.
On the other side of Jocelyn’s consciousness in 1878, she remains ignorant of EVE. Her life is crumbling around her, yet she finds herself anxiously awaiting the images that invade her dreams. Jocelyn longs to be the woman she portrays in that world yet her jealousy is unbearable. Miscommunication, betrayal and hidden agendas make trust near impossible. The clearer the visions become the more she questions motives of her closest confidants and foregoes revealing the images that plague her perception. As her life seems to unravel, Jocelyn’s two worlds collide, and she is enlightened as the pieces start to fall into place. But is she strong enough to survive the truth? Is Jackson really her destiny? And can their love transcend time?

My hopes, my dreams, and most of all me…we will finally be, set free.
Questions, questions, and more questions . . . they consume Jocelyn Timmons’ life—both of them. Questions that never seem to have an answer. They haunt her, eat at her, and dreams of a normal senior year of high school have finally floated away into nothingness.
Inheriting the gift of EVE (Essence Voyager Era) has become both a gift and a curse. One that Jocelyn doesn’t know if she wants or can accept. The world she once knew and thrived in has all but disappeared in the last two months. And now she wonders if she can ever find her way home again.
Her fiancé, Jackson Chandler, and his family seem to be the only ones who understand what she’s going through besides her uncles, both of which she’s grown very close to. But even they do not fully grasp how turbulent the situation at home has become. Will Jocelyn survive the torments from her mother and brother? Or will she find a hidden key to finally unlock her golden cage?
Find out in Perception, the griping third installment in the EVE series.

Cassidy Jordan knows she’ll die a few weeks after her eighteenth birthday, and she can’t wait. This is her second time here, and she knows what’s waiting for her in The Life-After — the place most mistakenly call “the afterlife.” Getting back there is supposed to be easy: she just has to find nineteen-year-old Riley Davis and help him get his life on track. By the time she finds him, though, she has only seven weeks to help him. Riley will die too young if she fails, and she’ll never see The Life-After or this life again.
But no one told her helping Riley would mean dating him; she hasn’t dated anyone since the love of her first life caused her death the last time she turned eighteen. When Cassidy realizes she’s falling for Riley, she’s faced with a choice: give him the life he’s meant for and leave when it’s time, or give up eternity for the true love she’s never had, knowing Riley will die the same way she did in her first life and that her entire existence could end at any time.

After Vivian Cartwright’s aunt is killed by the same mysterious man who caused her mother’s death, she flees to protect those she loves. Searching for the father she’s never seen, she spends months on the road, working her way from one rundown motel to another and trying to move on with her lonely life.
Vivian must face her past when the very people she’s trying to protect walk through the door of the diner where she works, but their bittersweet reunion is short-lived when her nemesis, the man with black eyes, kidnaps Abby and Cooper.
Forced to work for the man she’s tried so hard to escape, Vivian learns she is only one of several gifted teenagers belonging to a corrupt group called the Liaisons. She joins with Wyck, a sinfully handsome twin and computer genius. Together, she and her unlikely ally discover the truth about the organization and its strange connection to her family.

Riley Witt is running out of time.
Battling Alzheimer’s disease, Riley’s grandmother Mary suffers from memory loss, mood swings, and a tendency to wander off.
As senior year approaches, Riley has to face the reality that the one person she depends on most is slowly fading. Making matters
worse, when Mary does remember the past, she tells tales of time travel and visions. As Mary’s version of the past gets more confused, Riley knows they are running out of time together.
But when Riley discovers a guitar belonging to a famous rock star at Mary’s house, the truth behind the crazy tales finally comes out.
SIX STRINGS tells the story of Riley’s journey back to 1973 where she enters a world of music, long-lost family, and first love. Her adventure is all about discovering her past, understanding her present, and figuring out how to step into her future.

Lexi Burke has always been a stickler for following rules and procedures. As a human resources manager for a leading Gulf Coast chemical company, it’s her job to make sure everyone else falls in line, too.
But after losing out on a big promotion–-because her boss sees her as too much of a yes-woman––Lexi adopts a new policy of following her heart instead of the fine print. And her heart knows what it wants: Jason Beaumont, a workplace crush who is off limits based on her previous protocol.
While navigating a new romance and interoffice politics, Lexi must find the confidence to stand on her own or face a lifetime of following someone else’s orders.

never heal. It’s easy for her to relate to the kids; what isn’t easy is the
thought of facing her own harrowing past.<br />
<br />
Millionaire playboy Stephen McKinney could use a little coaching himself. Five
years ago he encountered his most horrible nightmare—and the nightmare won. No
matter what he achieves, nothing can make up for that awful night . . . or so
he believes.<br />
<br />
<i>Both desperate for a second chance . . . </i>Stephen is used to getting what
he wants. And he wants Hannah. So when she turns him down, he’s intrigued. What
he doesn’t know is that her secrets will lead him to a place he never wanted to
go again . . . to a side of himself he’s tried to forget . . . a side that
would scare Hannah away from ever loving him. Now his only chance to win her
trust is to bare his soul, risking everything he tried so hard to protect.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Go
deeper than ever into a world of surrender and control. Readers of <i>Fifty
Shades of Grey </i>and the works of<i> </i>Sylvia Day and J. Kenner have turned
the wicked, wild novels of Stacey Kennedy into a <i>USA Today </i>bestselling
series, where powerful men and beautiful women play out their hottest fantasies
at Club Sin, an elite BDSM dungeon in Las Vegas. Now the first four
electrifying novels are together in one red-hot eBook bundle:<br />
<br />
<b>CLAIMED</b><br />
<b>BARED</b><br />
<b>DESIRED</b><br />
<b>FREED</b><br />
<b>Also includes a preview of Stacey Kennedy’s next Club Sin novel, <i>Tamed!</i></b><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><i> </i><br />
Dmitri Pratt, a Master who unleashes his lover’s wildest inhibitions with each
careful, calculated caress; Aidan Knight, whose dominant façade conceals a
devastating loss, something he instantly recognizes in his personally trained
sub; Kyler Morgan, lusting after new blood as a Dom who hasn’t had a real
challenge in a long time.<br />
<br />
<i>. . . and the women who love them.</i></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><i> </i><br />
Presley Flynn, who’s ripe to experience her secret fantasies and determined to
surrender to her every desire; Ella Snow, beautiful, inhibited, and innocent in
the ways of submission and domination; Mary Schmidt, who cannot bear to embrace
her needs with another Dom—until a man who exudes temptation reawakens passions
she can no longer deny.<br />
<br />

Kennedy</span></b><span style="line-height: 115%;"> is
the <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of the Club Sin series. Growing up,
Stacey’s mind wandered the path less traveled, and that path most often led to
love. She has always broken rules, and she continues to feed off emotion—always
staying true to her heart. Those traits are now the bones of her stories. She
lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband, who puts any of the heroes in
her books to shame, and their two young children. If she’s not on Mom duty or
