Chasing Christmas Eve


Meet cute...

Run for the hills—temporarily. That’s Colbie Albright’s plan when she flees New York for San Francisco. Wrangling her crazy family by day and writing a bestselling YA fantasy series by night has taken its toll. In short, Colbie’s so over it that she’s under it. She’s also under the waters of a historic San Francisco fountain within an hour of arrival. Fortunately, the guy who fishes Colbie out has her looking forward to Christmas among strangers. But she’s pretty sure Spencer Baldwin won’t be a stranger for long.

Make merry...

Spence’s commitment to hiding from the Ghosts of Relationships Past means he doesn’t have to worry about the powerful—okay, crazy hot—chemistry he’s got with Colbie. Just because she can laugh at anything, especially herself... just because she’s gorgeous and a great listener…just because she “gets” Spence immediately doesn’t mean he won’t be able to let Colbie go. Does it?

…and hope for a miracle.

Now the clock’s ticking for Colbie and Spence: Two weeks to cut loose. Two weeks to fall hard. Two weeks to figure out how to make this Christmas last a lifetime.


Excerpt

At the unexpected sight of Spence, Colbie startled hard. How was it that he was the one who needed glasses and yet she’d not seen him standing against the window? “No, I don’t kill a lot of people,” she said cautiously because she was wearing only a towelin front of a strange man. “But I’m happy to make an exception.”

Cracks Duet Cover Reveal


Crack Dues by L.H Cosway 
Releasing November 2017

So, hypothetical scenario. An alien species comes to earth, but we share no common language. We can only communicate through pictures and sounds. At first, they see our art, hear our music, gaze upon our sacred lands and they’re dazzled by the beauty. But then, as they explore deeper, they see all the stuff we’d prefer to hide; the pain, the cruelty, the pointless wars.

If you were one of the aliens, would you let us live or wipe us out?

Heavy question, I know, but I didn’t always think this way. Life used to be simple. I was a typical city girl with small dreams that were big enough for her. Then I met Dylan O’Dea. He
changed how I saw the world, opened my eyes.

For him, the sky was always falling. I guess that was why he achieved so many great things.

The constant fear of catastrophe was an excellent motivator. It’s kind of poetic that he came back to me 16 minutes and 59 seconds into Beethoven’s Symphony no. 7.

Dylan showed me the crack in everything. How our world is a contradiction of beauty and ugliness. How we choose to ignore the awful and gloss over it with the palatable. How you
need just a tiny drop of something unsavoury to create every great scent.

Pretty deep for a pair of teenagers living in a block of council flats in inner city Dublin, right?

Probably. But that wouldn’t always be our lot. We’d part ways, cross oceans and come together again. Dylan would create perfumes adored by women across the globe and I would be the one who first showed him the magic of flowers.

My name is Evelyn Flynn and I’m going to tell you about the cracks.

Forget You Not



Title: Forget You Not
A Reclusive Novel
Author: Harloe Rae
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 27, 2017

Blurb

Destiny is bogus and fate is fake.
Everything happens for a reason?
Whatever.
I gave up on my fairy tale years ago.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not settling for less.
All my energy gets poured into a job I love rather than dead end relationships.
Men aren't even a blip on my radar these days.
Who needs them?
Except to scratch the occasional itch, I'm not interested in anything they have to offer.
If so-called Cupid ever comes knocking on my door, I'll be waiting with my flying pig because happily ever after doesn't exist.
I've become a jaded disbeliever and my main reason just sauntered into the bar.
Rowen Sworr is the only arrow that pierced my heart, and dammit, he stuck.
His random reappearance is a complicated twist from that meddling matchmaker I didn't see coming…
Forget You Not is the second standalone in the interconnected Reclusive Novel Series.

Scandalous by LJ Shen

They call him The Mute for a reason.

I totally loved this book. I was addicted from the start to finished. LJ always knows how to keep you in the edge. You never know what's going to happen next I love that she keep me in my toes. The story was hot, forbidden, intense, heartbreaking and just crazy. I love how intense there's are between Trent and Edie the fight they put up was fierce. They both had so much to deal with my heart went out to them.

I would highly recommend this book. If you have read the other books in this series you are just crazy. It's one of the best series out there. LJ really knows how to create the best alpha men and the most strongest woman it's really hard to not love them. Overall if you haven't read this book do it's amazing. I m really hoping that we get more from these hot men.

Read Michelle's full review with possible spoilers HERE 


For me L.J Shen's books are one of the hardest ones for me to review. Not because I don't have things to say but because I just have so much that I want to rave about that I can't even put it into words. Scandalous had so much going on within the story and how complex these characters were that there was just no way I wouldn't be captivated.

"I'm not the prince in this fairy tale. I'm the villain. The poisonous apple, the flame-breathing monster."

Edie and Trent had this connection that could not be ignored and I loved watching them fight against it. So much sexual tension was being thrown around and it really made me sit up and take notice. I actually ended up loving Edie's character which surprised me because I usually don't connect with younger characters, even though they're the closest to my age. With Edie though I never got a sense of immaturity and I always admired the way she handled the cards life dealt her.

On top of how much I liked these characters there was also this unknown mystery of what was going to happen and it drew my attention to this book even more. From reading this author previously I already knew that I could not start this book until I had at least a few hours to do nothing but read. And I was exactly right in my assumption that this story would intrigue me to the point of not putting it down until the very end.

Saying goodbye to these men is so hard and I feel like I'm leaving some of my best friends. We got to see them from high school to taking the world for their own in a boardroom and now it's over which is so sad. I do hope that we'll see more of them in future books somehow because I'm just not ready to let these guys go.

EXCERPT

“I’m nervous.” The tightness in his tone backed up the muscles bunching near the hinge in his jaw. And the simple, honest admission did something to her that no amount of flirtatious back-and-forth ever would.

“So am I.” She began buttering the dish. “Who taught you how to cook?”

Blurb

In the darkness is where I first met him.
Alone at a water fountain, tears rolling down my cheeks.
Ready to give up.
From the shadows, his voice came to me.
Soothing. Comforting. Rough as the blackest night.
I didn’t see him.
I didn’t even know his name.
All I knew was he saved me that night.
He put my back on my feet.
And he kept me on them.
Every single time I needed him, he found a way to come to me.
My stranger of the night.
My dark warrior.
My name is Scarlett. You probably know me.
I’m America’s number one country music star.
I’m also the loneliest girl you’ll ever meet.
He’s as free as a bird. A nomad. Travelling alone.
Nobody to hold him back.
He holds the freedom I pray for every single day.
He shows me that life can be so much more than what I’m living.
When danger comes knocking, he’ll also show me a different world.
A world I never knew existed.
A world that both terrifies and fascinates me.
A world that goes against everything I’ve ever known.
A world of Iron Fury.

The Learning Hours
How to Date a Douchebag Book 3
Sara Ney
September 26, 2017

He's not a douchebag; but that doesn't stop his friends from turning him into one.

MY FRIENDS WANT ME TO GET LAID.

So much so that they plastered my ugly mug all over campus, in bold printed letters:

Are you the lucky lady who's going to break our roommate's cherry?
Him: socially awkward man with average-sized penis looking for willing sexual partner. You: must have a pulse. He will reciprakate with oral. Text him at: 555-254-5551

The morons can't even spell. And the texts I've been receiving are what wet dreams are made of. But I'm not like these douchebags, no matter how hard they try to turn me into one.

THIS ISN'T THE KIND OF ATTENTION I WANT.

One text stands out from hundreds. One number I can't bring myself to block. She seems different. Hotter, even in black and white.

However, after seeing her in person, I know she's not the girl for me. But my friends won't let up--they just don't get it. Douchebags or not, there's one thing they'll never understand: GIRLS DON'T WANT ME. 

Especially her.


This review is very hard to do cause we can't really say much. I could spend hours talking about it and how amazing it is and believe me it's great.

I'm a big fan of this series it's just brilliant and this book is maybe the best out of the 3. The story had me happy, sad, angry and maybe frustrated in parts. But once I started I couldn't put it down from the first page. I was hooked. This book is a little different from the other 2 books but just as good. I actually liked that it was different.

I love the characters so much. They're just great I did have a few moments where I was getting a little angry at people through this and there were times where I wanted to cuddle people maybe I wanted to actually cuddle one throughout the whole book. 

This book does have everything that you want it's funny and sexy. I just loved every bit of this book. I'm really hoping that series isn't over it's one of my favourite series so I'm crossing my fingers it's not over. I would highly recommend it your really not going to be disappointed.

Falling for her was inevitable, losing her will destroy me.
Letting someone in didn’t come easy, but she made me want to try for the first time in years.
Her bubbling personality and kind spirit make it impossible to forget a girl like her.
But when tragedy strikes and she loses all memory that our relationship ever existed, my worst nightmare comes to life.
I’ll do anything to remind her of the love we shared. I know it’ll be an uphill battle, but I won’t walk away without a fight. Whoever said all is fair in love and war never played by my rules.
Checkmate, Angel.

*Recommend for ages 18+ due to sexual content and adult language.*
**This is book w in the Logan & Kayla Saga–a second-chance romance. Must read This is Dangerous first. However, you don’t need to read any of the other Checkmate duet series to enjoy this one, but it’s recommended as they are both introduced in the earlier books.**





After reading a really good romance I'm often left wishing that I could read it all over again for the first time. Well in This is Beautiful Kennedy Fox gave me that opportunity and it get's an A+ from me. Logan and Kayla had to rediscover their love for one another throughout this book and took readers on that journey with them. Not only did they get a chance to fall in love all over again, I got a chance to experience it for a second time. It made me love their characters even more than I did before and there couldn't have been a better ending to their story.

Knowing that this is the end to the Checkmate series is a little sad but it makes me extra excited to see with this amazing writing duo will come up with next.
