REVIEW: Fall into Forever by Beth Hyland

Fall into Forever by Beth Hyland
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

Book Description: 

A girl with a past she can't remember. A guy with a past he can't forget.

Ivy McAllister had it all. Perfect boyfriend. Perfect life. Perfect future. Or so they tell her. Because one night, on a dark country road, a fiery crash changed everything…and Ivy can’t remember what happened.

Now, two years later, at a new college far from home, she tries to regain control of her life, but her plans don’t include a tattooed, motorcycle-riding, indie music-obsessed guy with his own sorority girl fan club.

Jon Priestly is the hottest guy at Pacific State University. Just ask his groupies. But with a dark past he must keep hidden, he shuts himself off emotionally and trusts no one. That is…until he meets a broken girl with haunting green eyes and secrets of her own.

Ivy shouldn’t be attracted to Jon. They’re wrong for each other in every possible way. Yet as they spend time together, something about him—everything about him—feels so right.
But when threats from her past make her question what little she does remember, Ivy must decide whether to run again or trust the one person she can’t live without.

Lol. But if this is the only post they read from us, they wouldn't know!

But Jessie Lane is awesomesauce so how would they not know?

LOL. We're not making any progress here. We're supposed to be talking about her newly released book.

Yay!!! New book from Jessie Lane!

REVIEW: He Belongs with Me by Sarah Darlington

He Belongs with Me by Sarah Darlington
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book Description:
Two girls. One Leo.

Identical twins, Maggie and Clara Ryder, both grew up with Leo Maddox, billionaire playboy, apparent alcoholic, and heir to his grandfather's world-famous Maddox hotel empire. Their roles were cemented long ago: Maggie, as his best friend and Clara as his childhood nemesis.

But when a simple twist of fate changes everything and both girls start to fall for the lean, mean, ridiculously sexy and seemingly spoiled Leo... which girl will win his heart?

Throw in a little mischief, drama, and one smoking-hot bartender and lines are sure to blur. But one thing's for certain, neither good-girl Maggie nor rebellious Clara will be satisfied until they each figure out where they belong.

*NEW ADULT ROMANCE. Recommended for 17+ due to sexual situations and adult language.

REVIEW: Strength by Carrie Butler

Strength by Carrie Butler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

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

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

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

Time for TWO WORLDS to COLLIDE! Jani Kay's new MC book is LIVE!

Title: Two Worlds Colliding
Series: Scorpio Stinger MC Book #1
Author: Jani Kay
Release Date: March 18, 2014

All any woman ever wants, is to know that she’s worth fighting for. All any man ever wants, is to know that he can take care of his woman. Protect her, provide for her, look after her needs and desires. That’s enough. Right? WRONG. It matters where they come from. It matters who their family is. Especially when it’s from polar opposite worlds.

Opposites attract. Ryder and Jade are drawn to one another like magnets. The Princess and the Biker. They fall in lust—hard. But is it strong enough to lead to love when everything is stacked against them?

Will Jade follow her heart or her head? Ryder OR her family. Can Ryder forget his allegiance to his brothers and his club to have his Princess? Jade OR his family.

Is Jade worth fighting for?

What happens when Ryder and Jade’s two worlds collide? Is what they have strong enough to overcome the odds? Or will their worlds destroy one another and rip them apart.

Is the ultimate price too high?  

Full length STANDALONE novel continuing Jade & Ryder's story in the Scorpions MC.  

Who wants to STRIP(ping) HER DEFENSES for a cover reveal!?

 

Nikki! Do you know what we get to do today!?  

I know it has to do with one of our most favorite authors EVER!  *bouncing in excitement*

Today we are revealing the cover for Jessie Lane's upcoming romantic suspense, STRIPPING HER DEFENSES! 

YAY! We loved book one and this has been a highly anticipated follow up! And that cover... 

BTW, I've read the blurb, and I'm claiming Riley! ♥

Um.. No. 

Um... Yes! 

 Why are we always  over the heroes? Especially when you know I just keep them to myself when you log off! 

 What you fail to realize is that you log off before me so I'M the one that keeps them when you log off! And we're constantly fighting over heroes because we both have great taste in guys! 

  We do both have great taste in guys! I'll give you that. But that's all I'm giving you!  I'll make you a deal. You can have Riley, but I get the cover guy! 

NO! I'm already in love with him! He's got a tattoo on his chest that says Navy!!!! I want him!  You can have Bobby from the first book!

Um... No. You can't have it both ways. 

What both ways!? I want the guy on the cover, which IS Riley.

No, that's a representation of Riley. Once you read him you will picture him differently in your head. The cover guy doesn't even have a face. You have to choose: Riley or Cover Guy!

Both! He's Navy...NAVY! Bobby wasn't Navy. You can have him. And I don't know what you're talking about. I see his face perfectly. 

Lindsay, you can't have every guy! It's just not fair! 

  I don't take every guy! I'm just trying to make up for the fact that you hoard KA heroes! So I'm taking this guy! Fine. How about this. I get this guy AND Bobby and you can have Gage and Adam from the Big Bad Bite series. 

How is that an issue when you HATE KA heroes!!!!!

Ok, maybe not hate, but they definitely bug you A LOT!

Lindsay says:

Ok, we've gotten way off topic here! We'll have to stay at an impasse for now. Let's get back to the reason for today's post shall we?! 

Wait, you mean fighting over Riley isn't our reason for this post? I mean, it's what we do...talk books, fight over the guys, Lindsay wins because you get tired of fighting and try to change the subject...  

  No, smarty pants, we're here to reveal the COVER for Riley! We will continue the fighting at a later time when I'm not getting ready to log off the computer. 

*pouting* Well you're no fun! 

Fine. Ok, Welcome to the cover reveal for Riley, the hot hero from Jessie Lane's upcoming book Stripping Her Defenses! And without further ado, the cover! 

Nikki, we really need to pay for uniforms that are in our blog colors. 

Yeah we do! Lol *drum roll please*
