Summary:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the majestic halls of a crystal palace lies a secret that
could destroy an entire kingdom…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Bryn Aven refuses to give up on her dream of serving the kingdom she loves.
It's a dream that brings her to a whole new realm…the glittering palace of the
Skojare. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
The Skojare people need protection from the same brutal enemy that's been
threatening the Kanin, and Bryn is there to help. Being half Skojare herself,
it's also a chance for her to learn more about her lost heritage. Her boss
Ridley Dresden is overseeing the mission, but as their undeniable attraction
heats up, their relationship is about to reach a whole new level--one neither
of them is prepared for. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><br />
As they delve deeper into the Skojare world, they begin to unravel a
long-hidden secret. The dark truth about her own beloved Kanin kingdom is about
to come to light, and it'll change her place in it forever…and threaten everyone
she loves.</div>

<b>About SURVIVING ICE:</b>
Ivy Lee, a talented tattoo artist who spent the early part of her twenties on the move, is looking for a place to call home. She thinks she might have finally found it working in her uncle’s tattoo shop in San Francisco. But all that changes when a robbery turns deadly, compelling her to pack up her things yet again.
When they need the best, they call him. That’s why<b> </b>Sebastian Riker is back in California, cleaning up the mess made after a tattoo shop owner with a penchant for blackmail got himself shot. But it’s impossible to get the answers he needs from a dead body, leaving him to look elsewhere. Namely, to the twenty-something-year-old niece who believes this was a random attack. Who needs to keep believing that until Sebastian finds what he’s searching for.
Ivy has one foot out of San Francisco when a chance encounter with a stranger stalls her departure. She’s always been drawn to intense men, so it’s no wonder that she now finds a reason to stay after all, quickly intoxicated by his dark smile, his intimidating strength, and his<b> </b>quiet control.
That is, until Ivy discovers that their encounter was no accident—and that their attraction could be her undoing.

<b>About BURYING WATER:</b>
The top-selling, beloved indie author of <i>Ten Tiny Breaths </i>returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.
Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And <i>why</i> does Water feel she recognizes him?
Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.
The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.

Luke Boone doesn't know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it—the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he's finally getting his wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set—one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity. Though it's not exactly legal, Luke's never been one to worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain.
Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game—at only twenty-six years old, she's one of the most successful undercover officers in the Washington, DC, major crime unit, and she's just been handed a case that could catapult her career and expose one of the West coast's most notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she'll need to go deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year-old nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle's footsteps.
As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her wonder if she'll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she'll even want to.

Armed with two years' worth of savings and the need to experience life outside the bubble of her Oregon small town, twenty-five-year old Amber Welles is prepared for anything. Except dying in Dublin. Had it not been for the bravery of a stranger, she might have. But he takes off before she has the chance to offer her gratitude.
Twenty-four-year-old River Delaney is rattled. No one was supposed to get hurt. But then that American tourist showed up. He couldn't let her die, but he also couldn’t risk being identified at the scene—so, he ran. Back to his everyday life of running his family’s pub. Only, everyday life is getting more and more complicated, thanks to his brother, Aengus, and his criminal associations. When the American girl tracks River down, he quickly realizes how much he likes her, how wrong she is for him. And how dangerous it is to have her around. Chasing her off would be the smart move.
Maybe it's because he saved her life, or maybe it's because he's completely different from everything she's left behind, but Amber finds herself chasing after River Delaney. Amber isn’t the kind of girl to chase after anyone.
And River isn't the kind of guy she'd want to catch.

</em><br /><br /><em>In the third and final book of the <strong>USA Today</strong> bestselling <strong>By His Game</strong>
series, the rules of the game no one knew they’d have to play are
blurring, and when the past becomes the opposing team, hearts aren’t the
only thing at stake of being lost…</em><br /><br />Finding naked pictures
of her best friend on her boyfriend’s phone wasn’t in Everleigh White’s
five year plan. Neither was moving back to Los Angeles, the city of
dreams that never managed to make hers come true. There’s only so many
years you can be in love with your best friend before you realize he’s
never going to love you back, after all. If only her ex would stop
showing up at the gym where she works, she’d be much happier. <br /><br />Being
a father at nineteen wasn’t how Reid North, the Vipers’ wide receiver,
imagined his life going, but when his ex-girlfriend tricked him into
parenthood, he accepted it. Eventually. Now, with his ex on the verge of
being released from prison, he’s holding onto full custody of his seven
year old son, Leo. Football and Leo have left Reid no time for dating…
Until Everleigh comes back. <br /><br />His best friend his whole life,
Everleigh never knew Reid loved her. She left before he could tell her.
Now she’s back in front of him, and he’s not letting go. Even if all he
gets is her friendship again. But in a city like L.A., dreams come true
when you’re least expecting it. <br /><br /><em>
<strong>So do nightmares. </strong>
</em><br /><br />With their exes beating down their doors with demands and
explanations, their hesitant and building relationship is threatened at
every corner. They’re at serious risk of being intercepted by the past,
and that’s a ball Reid is determined to catch. <br /><br />Except
desperation can lead to stupidity—and Reid soon realizes he can’t catch
every ball, no matter how perfectly it’s thrown to him. This time a
fumble could cost more than a few points. <br /><br /><em>
<strong>It could cost him everything.</strong>
</em><br /><br /><em><strong>Intercepted</strong> is the third and final book in the <strong>By His Game</strong> series and can be read as a standalone, although it is advised to read <strong>Blindsided</strong> and <strong>Sidelined</strong> before, in this order.</em></span>

Intercepted gave us more of super hunky Reid and the
outspoken Everleigh. They are seriously my favorite couple from this series.
Reid is a devoted father in a screwed up situation because of his crazy ex.
Ever is the best friend that ran away when her feelings turned into more but is
now back to heal her wounds from her ex. Oh, and can I just say that Leo is the
cutest kid ever?!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This book thankfully was not focused on the sex which I
found the previous two books did. This book had meat to it that I was not
expecting but was super happy to find. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think that Reid and Ever made such a cute couple, and I
loved the references to their past because they have always been so entwined.
They were the same, but different, perfectly blended so that I felt as if I
knew both versions. <span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think one of my favorite things about this book is that it
took a twist that was totally unexpected and left me reeling. Just when you
think the worst has happened BAM something else happens that left me gaping
like a fish out of water!</div>

<b>About CHASING RIVER:</b>
Armed with two years' worth of savings and the need to experience life outside the bubble of her Oregon small town, twenty-five-year old Amber Welles is prepared for anything. Except dying in Dublin. Had it not been for the bravery of a stranger, she might have. But he takes off before she has the chance to offer her gratitude.
Twenty-four-year-old River Delaney is rattled. No one was supposed to get hurt. But then that American tourist showed up. He couldn't let her die, but he also couldn’t risk being identified at the scene—so, he ran. Back to his everyday life of running his family’s pub. Only, everyday life is getting more and more complicated, thanks to his brother, Aengus, and his criminal associations. When the American girl tracks River down, he quickly realizes how much he likes her, how wrong she is for him. And how dangerous it is to have her around. Chasing her off would be the smart move.
Maybe it's because he saved her life, or maybe it's because he's completely different from everything she's left behind, but Amber finds herself chasing after River Delaney. Amber isn’t the kind of girl to chase after anyone.
And River isn't the kind of guy she'd want to catch.

<b>About BURYING WATER:</b>
The top-selling, beloved indie author of <i>Ten Tiny Breaths </i>returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.
Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And <i>why</i> does Water feel she recognizes him?
Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.
The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.

<b>About BECOMING RAIN:</b>
Luke Boone doesn't know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it-the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he's finally getting his wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set—one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity. Though it's not exactly legal, Luke's never been one to worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain.
Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game—at only twenty-six years old, she's one of the most successful undercover officers in the Washington D.C. major crime unit, and she's just been handed a case that could catapult her career and expose one of the west coast's most notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she'll need to go deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year old nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle's footsteps.
As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her wonder if she'll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she'll even want to.

My Review:</h2>
I stumbled upon Cristin Harber by accident when I read a novella from the Titan series (which is AMAZING btw) So when I saw this series (the first one I received from netgalley) I HAD to be a part of this Blog Tour. I remember reading the first book Only For Him and then tweeting Cristin because I couldnt beleive the way it ended, well let me warn you right now Only For Her does not end any better! <br />

I love how this book is sweet, yet it still portrays that no matter how perfect or imperfect everything seems, there is more beneath the surface then you could have ever imagined.<br />
<br />
I was a little pissed at Grayson at the end of the first book because he made a very bad choice. BUT I fell in love with him in this book, because seriously? How could you not. He made a bad choice, he regretted it, and now he is determined to fix everything.<br />
<br />
I loved loved LOVED Emma in this book! She has grown SO much as a character (which is understandable considering the circumstances) But I love how she is so tough, she has a real backbone and she is determined to take her situation and make the most of it. LOVE her so much!<br />
<br />
The writing style of the book is just so effortless, yes its a novella, but there is so much going on it feels like a full length book that you just cant put down. Its a quick read, but it will leave you thinking about it for a long time after!<br />
<br />
Ahh!! I Will have to go get me some more Titan Series books just to tide me over until I get my grabby little hands on the third installment of this novella series! <br />

<div id="outer_postBodyPS" style="color: black;">
<span style="color: black;">The second installment in the Only series. Must read book one first!!</span>
First loves never die but Grayson Ford comes close. Bleeding out in a war zone, he barters with God. Bring him back alive, and he'll make it right with his girl.
<b><i>All I want is Emma. I need her, and I fight for her memory. A story. A smile. Anything. But it's all blank.</i></b>
Emma is not his girl anymore. Time has skipped by and life's been hard. She strips to pay the bills, waitresses to fill the hours between classes and her third job. All while working to be the best mama she can be to the little girl who will never know her daddy. Even though Grayson abandoned her, she mourned his death. Until he calls, and everything she knew was wrong.
<i><b>It's him. The him that ruined my life. That made my life. That confused my mind to the point that I can't figure out if I've been destroyed or set free. The him that... is... dead.</b></i>
He's back with one objective--Emma Kingsley--and she never sees it coming.
<b>Only for Her, Only #2</b>
<b> The novella series will release in its entirety this spring.</b>

<b>Release Day Excerpt:</b>
THE CHURCH BELLS from St. Agnes Church chime, letting me know I have a half hour before Dad calls the National Guard out for me. <i>Hmm, maybe enough time to head to the Shake Shack and get a frozen salted caramel hot chocolate</i>—my new favorite addiction.
Gravel crunches under my feet as I cross the parking lot toward my car. As I dig through my backpack searching for my car keys, a yelp rings out in the distance. Pausing, I stand still and listen for the sound again. Was an animal hurt somewhere, maybe? The noise was muffled and not close by, so I can’t make out the source. The last bell chimes, reminding me I should hurry home, but the reporter in me won’t let me leave without checking. I wait a few minutes to see if I hear it again, scanning the area for the source.
Across the street, dark shadows fill the doorways of the now-closed shops that line the main road, setting my nerves on edge. The voice in my head nags that this is how horror movies begin, but I shake off the ridiculous thought. Horror movies aren’t real. The idea of scooping a story before anyone else—that’s a real possibility. Nothing moves except for the leaves as the breeze picks up. Just as I’m ready to give up, I hear the noise again, this time followed by what sounds like shuffling feet—like something sliding through gravel.
“What in the world was that?” I mutter. The sounds together don’t make any sense. If it was an animal yelping, what was that other noise? Had someone maybe captured an animal in a trap? This is rural Tennessee, so it wouldn’t surprise me. Everyone around here is well-versed in hunting, starting in elementary school.
My naturally inquisitive mind begins imagining several scenarios, and I can’t walk away. Not until I know. Lord knows if I just get in my car and leave, I’ll be up all night thinking about how I might’ve missed out on a story. Bye bye, scholarship.
I sigh, shoving my overflowing backpack in the passenger seat before slamming the car door as I head toward the source of the noise. I make my way toward the river, cutting through an alleyway. The single streetlight flickers, barely illuminating the area and making it feel even more desolate out here. Ominous, almost. I can’t help thinking that with my luck, it’ll end up being a skunk that sprays me for trying to help.
The alley is more of a narrow path between buildings, not even wide enough for a car to fit through. Overflowing dumpsters from surrounding businesses line one side while the other is a dirty brick wall covered in graffiti. If this were Baltimore, I might have been more cautious, but while Hope Mills isn’t Pleasantville by any means, I don’t feel afraid, only curious.
“Get your hands off me, you son of a bitch. You’re never going to get away with this!” a man growls in the distance, the final word echoing off the water.
I whip my head around, barely missing smacking it on an underhang promoting JT’s Soul Food Buffet. <i>Okay, that definitely wasn’t an animal.</i>

<b>NEVER GONNA TELL Synopsis:</b>
My name is Reagan Wilcox: high school senior by day, kick-ass investigative journalist by night. I’ve always loved observing people—especially when they think no one is paying attention.
I thought I was ready to cover any story. Work any angle.
Nothing could have prepared me for what happened that night. I wasn’t ready for what I saw. And I certainly wasn’t ready for him.
I always knew I’d write the headlines. Now, I just might become one.

<b>About Sarah M. Ross:</b>
Sarah started her obsession with reading at an early age, often sneaking BabySitter Club and Nancy Drew books into math class. She would read any book she could get her hands on. Her love of reading quickly evolved into a love of writing and stories began to pour out of her.
She grew up in Pittsburgh, graduated from The University of Pittsburgh with a degree in English, and taught 8th graders to love reading as much as she does for several years. Sarah will always be a proud member of the Steelers' Nation, but couldn't take the cold and moved her frozen tush to Florida where she now lives with her family and two cats. You will find her now with her trusty Kindle in hand and toes in the sand!
Sarah's debut novel, AWAKEN, released in January, 2012. Other novels include AVENGE, ATONE, ECHO OF AN EARTH ANGEL, and INHALE EXHALE.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span id="freeText9600298536908082523">Luke Boone doesn't know
exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it-the
cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he's finally getting his
wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come
with a second set—one that opens up the door to tons of cash and
opportunity. Though it's not exactly legal, Luke's never been one to
worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the
wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named
Rain.<br /><br />Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game—at only twenty-six
years old, she's one of the most successful undercover officers in the
Washington D.C. major crime unit, and she's just been handed a case that
could catapult her career and expose one of the west coast's most
notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she'll need to go
deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year old
nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle's
footsteps.<br /><br />As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of
Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming
target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her
wonder if she'll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she'll even want
to.</span></blockquote>

<div class="MsoNormal">
How do you write a review for a book that is written by one
of your favorite authors when the book was absolutely mindblowingly perfect? I
could gush about how K.A Tucker writes a story that is so full of twists and
turns that I don’t know how the characters can possibly get from Point A to
Point B… I can talk about how much I LOVED how strong, feminine and kickass
amazing Rain/Clara was… or how about how I totally fell in love with Luke and
he is my new book boyfriend… I don’t know how to put all my feels into words
but lets give it a shot. This series is way darker then I usually read, but I
get these books in my hands and I finish them within 1 day because once I start
I NEED to know what happens!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, every single character in this book was fantastic,
regardless of how big or small of a roll they played, you knew who they were
and you were able to form your opinions and then try to figure out if anyone
was like a double agent or was a bad guy playing good (because seriously that wouldn’t
surprise me in K.A. Tuckers books). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The book reads like a TV Series, or like a movie (this would
be an AMAZING movie or Tv series btw) You get POV’s from both Rain and Luke, I
loved seeing both sides of things. I felt super bad for Luke because well, I loved
him and I wanted my HEA you know? Although I loved Rain right from the beginning,
I felt a bit of anger towards her because she was trying to set up my new boyfriend
to go to jain (I’m a protective B* what can I say?) But then it became quite
clear that she was just as upset with herself as I was with her over what her
role was and I forgave her. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Obviously I loved Rain (Clara? What do I call her) and Luke…
but there were a few other surprises too! Elmira! OMG she blew me out of the
freaking water! I STILL don’t know what exactly to think of her! Is she good? Is
she bad?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>WHO THE HELL IS SHE! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This whole book was a long winding road and I had no idea
how it could POSSIBLY end the way I wanted it to. But I was totally ok with
that because I know that everything written by K.A. Tucker is going to blow my
mind and nothing will turn out the way I thought it would. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This book, is a MUST read by EVERYONE! It is the second in
the Burying Water Series and I would recommend reading Burying Water first
(because its super awesome and Jesse was my last book boyfriend) BUT you can
read this book without reading the first.</div>

<b>Three people. Three motives. Three reasons.</b>
</i><br /><br /><i>When the game leaves the field in the second book in the <b>USA Today</b> bestselling <b>By His Game</b> series and mixes with sex, lies, and betrayal, the future isn't the only thing on the line...</i><br /><br /><i>
<b>Macey Kelly has sworn off men. </b>
</i><br /><br />Unless they’re going to zip in and out of her apartment—and
her vagina—quicker than they can give her an orgasm, she’s not
interested. Finding out her boyfriend of three years got her cousin
pregnant was a total confidence knock. Luckily for Macey, confidence is
something she has in abundance, so all Mitch’s asshole move did was make
her pretty cynical toward men.<br /><br />The last thing Jack Carr needs at
the start of the season is for a dark-haired, sexy as sin, gyspyesque
beauty to be consuming his thoughts. Football is his life, which leaves
no time for girls. Unless they’re the love ‘em and leave ‘em girls.
Becoming one of the best running backs the league has ever seen by
racking up the yards is his top priority… not bedding Macey Kelly,
despite her affinity for blow jobs and total sexual abandon.<br /><br />Avoiding
each other is the perfect solution, but when your best friends are in a
serious living together kind of relationship, that isn’t always an
option. Sometimes, sex on tap is the easiest option. <br /><br /><i>
<b>And the sweetest.</b>
</i><br /><br />Until Mitch shows up with a bombshell that could shatter
Macey’s perfectly carved out life. It’s been a year, but he isn’t giving
her up, not now he has a chance at winning her back. And he knows her
buttons. Every single one of them.<br /><br />Unfortunately for him, Jack
Carr isn’t a loser. The star running back has his eye on the Vince
Lombardi—and on Macey. But seeing her hanging between them both isn’t
something he’s down with, not when he discovers why she’s so against
anything more-ish, as she puts it. <br /><br />Macey quickly realizes she’s
the ball being passed between two desperate yet opposing teams, and that
only one of them can score the touchdown. But will the winner be the
guy she lived with and loved for three years, or will the winner be the
guy who understands her and makes her body come alive?<br /><br /><i>
<b>In this game, someone will be sidelined, and calling the play isn’t always as easy as it seems.</b>
</i><br /><br /><i><b>Sidelined</b> is a full-length, standalone novel. It's not necessary to read <b>Blindsided</b> before this book, but it is advised.</i></span></span>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
My Review:</span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love Emma Hart, I have loved her since I first read her
Memories series, I loved her when I read The Game series, and I will probably
always love her. However, I can definitely see a change in her writing style,
and although I understand it (sex sells) I miss the sweet books with a touch of
sexiness. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That being said, I did still enjoy Sidelined, however I will
admit that I skipped maybe 30% of it because I didn’t want or need all the sexy,
the saving grace is that Emma can write a REALLY good story and that kept me
hooked enough to overlook the overdone and perhaps unnecessary sex scenes. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is because of the actual Story that I would recommend this book to others, but I would also tell them that it is quite explicit and to be prepared. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I thought that Macey was a really good character, she was
fun, open, spontaneous, driven, and and confident. But she also had a softer
side, a more vulnerable side which I totally loved seeing as well. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jack, well… Jack was an egotistical jerk for about half the
book… it took me a while to warm up to him, but I did eventually decide that
maybe he isn’t just a cocky arrogant ass, and although he didn’t become my new
book boyfriend, I didn’t hate him. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The actual STORY of the book was great, it reminded me a lot
of The Game series (which I freaking LOVED) it was fun, witty, fast paced, and
some of the comebacks the Macey had were fantastic! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, this book was ok… I read it because I love Emma,
and I will probably read just about everything in the NA genre that she writes…
I will finish this series because I have invested into the characters in the series,
and I am really excited for The Burke Brothers series, but I miss the sweet
Emma Hart books and it breaks my heart a little bit more with each sex scene I
read in the newer books.</span></div>

<span id="freeText6556465418438333350"><em>Darcy burned with
the pain of knowing she’d failed. What happened when a prophecy didn’t
come true? It must not have been much of a prophecy in the first place.
And if they couldn’t trust in that, then they couldn’t trust in anything
at all.</em><br /><br />Five years ago, Darcy first received the prophecy
of the Six, which stated she and her friends would save the land of
Alitheia from a shadowy foe. For five years, she hasn’t known what the
end will look like, but she certainly didn’t expect this.<br /><br />Thrust
back into Alitheia through unexpected means, Darcy winds up alone,
scared, and without her recent memory. As she struggles to regain her
lost memories and reunite with the ones she loves, she pieces together
the prophecies and the oracles to find they all converge into one
story—a story that tells her just how much she’ll have to give to save
both worlds, and everyone she loves.</span></blockquote>

<h2>
My Review:</h2>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
**Warning, this is a
LONG review because I just couldn’t help it! I *think* I left out spoilers, but
as with all reviews it is POSSIBLE that there may be something said that you
did not know**</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How do I even begin to express my thoughts on The Bone
Whistle?! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This has been one of my favorite series of ALL TIME! I was a
little skeptical at first, but that may have been because I was just beginning to
get into reading books that weren’t traditionally published so it was a new
experience for me… I mean a book I couldn’t purchase at my local Chapters? It
made zero sense to me! (Don’t worry I have since wizened up and I am love ALL
books regardless of how they are published and where they are sold)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, let’s give this a shot shall we? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Bone Whistle, it’s the last book in a FANTASTIC series
surrounding the lives of typical teenagers who visit camp with their families
each summer. When the series began they were 13, when the series ends they are
in their 20s. I think the best part of this series, is that we really got to
see each character grow as a person, I mean we basically lived the most
formative years of a kids life with them you know?! The fact that they were
immersed into a world full of magic and war, well that’s definitely going to
have an effect on everyone. There were also so many unanswered questions I had
after each book, so to read the final book, although bittersweet because I don’t
want to say goodbye to anyone (especially my fave couple Darcy and Tellius) I
was super excited to finally get all my questions answered!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
About the Characters, I am going to give you my thoughts on
the characters that always stood out for me in this series; I will try to keep
each one short and sweet. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Darcy</b>: I will be
the first to admit that I was NOT a Darcy fan until probably the third or forth
book, she always just rubbed me the wrong way and was too selfish and well just
not a nice girl. But she definitely grew on me, and as she aged and matured I
realized that I had to go through those rough awkward years in order to love
her and cheer for her as much as I did to the very last page of The Bone
Whistle.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Tellius</b>: When we
first met Tellius he was a spoiled royal on the run, he grew up into a man that
loves like no other. I fell for Tellius a lot faster then I did Darcy, but
their upbringing was totally different and Tellius HAD to grow up faster. I
laughed with Tellius, I cringed, and I cried, I experienced everything with him…
I would totally not be opposed to a novella on his experience of the events,
not everything obviously but just the major points ;) *cough* K.B. Hoyle make
it happen please *cough*</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Sam</b>: I liked Sam,
I mean you really couldn’t help but like Sam, she was just that freaking sweet
and sincere. She was a loyal and devoted friend and just to freaking cute.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Perry</b>: Honestly?
Perry was my least favorite of The Six, he was cocky and arrogant, and yea not
my fave but he served his purpose well. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Louis</b>: I loved
him! He was such a cutie, but then again I tend to like the nerdy guys. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Amelia: She was a bit of a B**** but that was just the way
she was, it wasn’t done to be mean. She was just a very straight forward this
is how it is kind girl, which I totally appreciated because she was a very
strong girl from the get go. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Dean</b>: I still
shake my head over Dean, I feel like we really got to know the other part of
The Six, but Dean was always such a mystery and even now, after reading the
whole series, I feel like I never knew him… but I don’t feel like I am missing
a part of the Story</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Yahto Veli</b>: I
loved Yahto Veli, he was a totally different character then I have ever read
(probably because he was technically two people in one) But, I loved how right
from the start he believed in Darcy and stood by her side to the very end. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Colin</b>: Then there
was Colin, I will admit, I held out hope for him from the very beginning, he
was obviously a very confused kid and I wanted a happy ending for him… </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Phew, ok, so those are some small thoughts on a few of the
characters I feel played a big role in the story… </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, what are my final thoughts on The Bone Whistle? Well let
me tell you… if was AMAZING! This is by far my favorite book in the series,
each thread was tired up, I was left with no questions, however I still wanted
MORE. I loved how it ended! It is so hard to put into words what I really thought
when it’s a book that you really have to read to understand the full amount of
thoughts and emotions that I experienced. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I said at the beginning, this is probably my favorite
series, and I will one day have these books on my bookshelf because I will totally
need to re-read them all, I am sad that The Gateway Chronicles is over, but I was
super impressed with how it ended! Thanks K.B. Hoyle for a FANTASTIC series, I
will definitely be watching for your upcoming books! </div>

My Review:</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love Melody Grace and I absolutely love this series, but I
have never really been a fan of the novella’s that have gone on in this series,
for some reason they always left me disappointed. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
BUT! That has all changed! I absolutely LOVED Unrequited and
I think it was TOTALLY necessary to read this book before Uninhibited. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been anxiously waiting for Alicia and Dex’s story
because well everyone in this series deserves a happy ending. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alicia has been in a few of the other books in this series
and she has always come across to me as uptight, by the books, sweet, and
innocent. This book introduces us to another side of Alicia that maybe she wasn’t
even aware existed. Although, when you have a guy like Dex taking dirty talk to
a whole new level its not exactly a surprise is it? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dex is probably my favorite character in this series and he
is definitely the baddest ‘bad boy’ that Melody has written in this series. He
is sweet, funny, and could probably talk a nun into stripping. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Together, Alicia and Dex are everything I was hoping for and
I am so excited to read Uninhibited which is the full story between Alicia and
Dex, if a novella gets my attention this much, the actual story is going to be
fantastic! </div>

My Review:</h2>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
This may have been my favorite book of the series to date.
This book is hot, and so fun to read. The dialogue in this book just drew me in
like there was nothing else I needed to do except read. It was fast, quick,
witty, and just fun. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I loved Alicia and Dex in Unrequited and I was super excited
to read their whole story (and yes read their HEA as well) because they are
just so different, yet complement each other so perfectly. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alicia is a sweet girl who has been in love with someone
else for years but has never said anything. That man is now in a committed
relationship with one of our other beloved characters from this series and
Alicia is heartbroken over her fantasy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then she meets Dex
who is a brooding musician who wants to forget his past… oh and he’s super hot
and can talk the panties off a nun… They are both broken but together they are
able to fill those cracks and be super awesome. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, its not smooth sailing, and I was a little bad at
their stubbornness but in the end I was happy with the way things worked out…
Love isn’t supposed to be easy right?! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This book is totally a recommendation for everyone on the
romantic contemporary wagon like I am, AND I am super excited that we were
introduced to new characters so that Melody is able to continue this series with a new
bunch of people! It is a standalone book, but I totally think you should read
the rest of the series because the characters all crossover, and I personally
love knowing the history behind the friendships we see. </div>

<h2>
My Review:</h2>
This was the first book from Cristin Harber that I have read and I absolutely loved it and I immediately went and bought more books from the Titan series!<br />
<br />
This book introduces us to Nicola and Cash, they have been friends forever but things are starting to change, they have both secretly loved each other from afar for years. Just as things begin to change and a HEA is in your sights, a horrible tragedy strikes and to save her loved ones Nic has to disappear. <br />
<br />
This story is definitely a New Adult novel, although the rest of the series seems to be more adult. Its sweet, the writing style is so smooth and easily depicts the fall of first love, as well as the grief experienced by everyone when life throws a curve-ball. <br />
<br />
I really wasn’t sure what to expect from this book, but it got me hook line and sinker, Each book in the series can be read as a standalone (although I totally recommend Sweet Girl before Garrison’s Creed) I will definitely be reading the rest in the books in this series simply because I absolutely loved the writing style and the guys, I will be gaining a new book boyfriend from each book!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08564475655669883267noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2317845481758635838.post-43563084608702740992015-02-09T13:49:00.000-05:002015-02-09T14:48:52.266-05:00Review: Soul Promise by Rachel Walter<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjDLTtTqYCDY6N0mB_BU0niRvqWXJiw5OCV9PteWqhhYALjkY9I9AsOj7I0ijArb-QNqfiC1fNO0lhBr3wzqoobxDpLAVIVrmC5sXRg-OgXxjxNnXhV5GDmTYExOKPEqx7eQo0CSW1eZU/s1600/soul+promise.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjDLTtTqYCDY6N0mB_BU0niRvqWXJiw5OCV9PteWqhhYALjkY9I9AsOj7I0ijArb-QNqfiC1fNO0lhBr3wzqoobxDpLAVIVrmC5sXRg-OgXxjxNnXhV5GDmTYExOKPEqx7eQo0CSW1eZU/s1600/soul+promise.jpg" width="131" /></a><b>Title:</b> <i>Soul Promise</i> <br />

<h2>
My Review:</h2>
<br />
I have been waiting FOREVER for this book! <br />
<br />
This is book 2 in the Soul Connection series and it is just so freaking fantastic I am LOVING the connections, and the characters, and the personalities and and and…. <br />
<br />
This book focuses on Skeeter and Henry, while it was obvious they were going to be connected just from reading the first book in the series, I loved the struggle they each faced before figuring it out. <br />
<br />
Skeeter is independent, snarky, confident, and sassy. Henry is still trying to figure this whole wolf thing out, but he is such a softy and just a genuinely NICE guy, that he just cant quite grasp why he fights so much with Skeeter. <br />
<br />
Then there is of course a battle, because this isn’t just a romance novel, it is paranormal/fantasish, so the big baddies… I was a little surprised at who it was, as well as a little creeped out because weird! Anyways, the battle was epic and it showed how strong everyone was, especially Henry, he surprised not only himself but everyone else as well.<br />
<br />
I am SUPER excited for book 3, they introduced this new character at the end of book 2, and something kinda happens but not really, and OMG I need to know WHAT IS GOING ON!!! Please Rachel don’t make me wait forever again! I <3 you and want the book ASAP

<h2>
My Review:</h2>
<br />
I love this series and I was so excited when we were introduced to a whole new group of people in Crash into You because it means the series isn’t quite over yet. <br />
<br />
Take Me On introduces us to West, who we met briefly in Crash into You and I totally wanted more of. West is the bad boy in the family, he is a rebel and he doesn’t back down from a fight (who can resist the bad boy?) This time though he may have bitten off more than he can chew.<br />
<br />
Then there is Haley, she had spunk, but she had issues, From our point of view it’s obvious that she was handling everyone wrong, but from her point of view she was handling things the only way she knew how. <br />
<br />
This book, as with the other books in the series, will put your emotions on a roller coaster. You will always be waiting for the other shoe to drop because when the author is Katie McGarry, it always drops when and how you least expect it to! <br />
<br />
Thanks for another fantastic book Katie PLEASE give us more of the Young boys ;) <br />
<br />
Recommendation: If you have read the other books in the Pushing the Limits Series then this book is a MUST READ. If you haven’t read them, then I totally recommend every book in this series. They can be read as standalones, but if you read them in order you will know a bit more about the characters that cross over into each book.

From the USA Today bestselling author of True, Sweet, and Believe comes a tantalizing New Adult novel about finding love in the most unexpected ways…<br /><br /> Kylie Warner prides herself on being optimistic, but after finding her best friend in bed with her boyfriend and flunking chemistry, her upbeat attitude has taken a dive. Even an impromptu hook-up with her sexy new chemistry tutor only brightens her mood slightly. After all, it’s not like she’ll ever see the tattooed scholar again…<br /><br /> While he’s a whiz at complex equations, Jonathon Kadisch has trouble when it comes to figuring out women. So when Kylie tells him that she’s pregnant after their night of passion, he’s at a complete loss. He’s prepared to be a good father—unlike his own deadbeat dad—but he’s less prepared to fall for the genuine and alluring blonde bearing his child.<br /><br /> With emotions running high, Kylie wonders if Jonathon’s devotion is out of growing love or looming obligation. And when heartbreak threatens to tear them apart, Jonathon will have to fight for the only girl who’s ever made him feel whole…</blockquote>

My Review:</h2>
<br />I have enjoyed this series, they are always quick reads with just enough oomph to keep me interested, but not make me think to hard. I loved the first book True and the second book Sweet, and had high hopes for the final 2 books in the series. However, I was unforutantly disspointed. It began with the 3rd book in the series Believe, it was an okay book but I think it had a lot more potential then what actually happened which disspointed me. BUT I didn’t give up on the series because well, I had already read three books I might as well finish the series.. plus I LOVED the position that Kylie was put in, maybe that’s a little mean but I was ready for the greatness that I experienced in the first 2 books to come back. <br /><br />Kylie is well perfect, she looks perfect acts perfect and is perfect. Everything good just happens to her, until she goes home and her douchbag bf sleeps with her bestfriend. She freaked (totally acceptable) and she is trying to move on. Then she meets Jonathan and has a one night stand with the hottie nerd (OMG A HOT NERD!) <br /><br />And then… well that’s about it really, the rest is very predictable. Whatever you think happens, does. Although not a bad thing, the predicatibily was a little sucky because I just felt there was so much potential! I loved Kylie and Jonathan, but I could have loved them MORE. <br />
<br />The saving grace for me though was that although the story wasn’t my favorite, I loved how smooth the writing is. I will continue to read books that Erin McCarthy puts out simply because her writing style is so perfect. I just hope the stories back the spark the first two books in this series had. <br />
<br />Recommendations: If you have read the other books in this series, you might as well read this one too… you do get full closure on all the characters at the end of this which was cool and although the story didn’t meet my expectations I loved Jonathan (hot nerd!) So you should totes meet him.

If You Never Get Lost, You’ll Never Be Found<br />
<br />
Twenty-one-year-old Natalia Stolfi is saying good-bye to the past-and turning her life upside down with a trip to the land down under. For the next six months, she'll act like a carefree exchange student, not a girl sinking under the weight of painful memories. Everything is going according to plan until she meets a brooding surfer with hypnotic green eyes and the troubling ability to see straight through her act.<br />
<br />
Bran Lockhart is having the worst year on record. After the girl of his dreams turned into a nightmare, he moved back home to Melbourne to piece his life together. Yet no amount of disappointment could blind him to the pretty California girl who gets past all his defenses. He's never wanted anyone the way he wants Talia. But when Bran gets a stark reminder of why he stopped believing in love, he and Talia must decide if what they have is once in a lifetime . . . or if they were meant to live a world apart.<br />
<br />
Book #1 in the OFF THE MAP series </blockquote>

My Review:</h2>
<br />
This was a super cute book and it was the perfect balance of emotions. The issues in this book, although similar to a lot of books in this genre, were slightly different, and the setting being in Australia was a pleasant experience because it is not a place I am familiar with it and the author did a fantastic job of describing it and making me feel as it i was there as well. <br />
Talia was an interesting character, like a baby bird really. She seems weak and afraid and she is OCD, but then out of no where really she grows a backbone, and although some issues can not go away she is no longer that weak baby bird. <br />
I also really liked Bran as well, he is cocky and arrogant, but he is also true to himself. He knows what he wants, and what he doesn't want, and he really doesn't let much stand in his way. He isn't afraid to push the boundaries and rules, but he isnt really a 'bad boy'. <br />
Overall, I was super impressed with this book, it took me to Australia and back to North America seamlessly, the writing was super good and I got really lost in the story. <br />
Recommendation: I would totally recommend this to anyone who likes NA books, its a little more on the clean side, like a sweet NA instead of the spicy NA that seems to be everywhere. I am really looking forward to more books in this series!</div>
