My Review
First of all this book was amazing and contains many of my favorite authors. It was also published for a great cause. I am a nurse and I love to read so any time an opportunity like this comes up for me I am going to take it! Promoting such a great book for an even greater cause is my calling, it's why I love blogging. So, to the book! As a nurse I have always dreamed of "McDreamy" ok. Who hasn't right? The super hot doctor with amazing hair and a great body who wants to ravage you in a linen closet! Is this not every girls nurse dream?! This book will bring out those exact fantasies!! YAY! Oh, if real life were that exciting. There would be a lot of sick people with no nurses haha. Alrighty, lets break down the stories!

Off Duty by Sawyer Bennett
Hello hot fireman! This is a story of getting a second chance at true love. The kind of love that makes you change your life and career path because of it! The kind that makes you cut off your family because of the way they treated the man you loved. This is a beautiful story of second chances for soul mates. 

Rebound by Chelle Bliss
Fiona and Sam are insanely hot. Seriously. Heartbreak can lead to the most fun things. Things that involve hot, sweaty, passionate things. What Fiona and Sam don't realize is that in their heartbreak something new blossoms. Something they weren't looking for or expecting. 

Wanting to Forget by Toni Aleo
OMG! Toni Aleo!! How I love her and her Assassin series. Jordie is one of my favorite characters. So much going on with him! Oh, how we love our man whores. Who are able to tempt none other then super hot doctors who shouldn't cross that line. Oh the forbidden temptations! This is the prequel to her next Assassin novel that I am anxiously waiting for!! 

Closet Confession by Kindle Alexander
What would this series be without a little man on man action. Ironically this one does have hot moments in the on call room which I can only hope happens in real life haha! 

Healing Touch by Brenda Rothert
I absolutely loved Carson and Joss. They were an unlikely couple. Joss being an MD and Carson being the maintenance man. Let me tell you, I have not met a maintenance man like that in all my years in healthcare. Just sayin. This is a cute love story and was one of my favorites of the book! Sometimes we all need someone to get to our happy place.

Swimming in Shadows by Eden Butler
This was the first title I have read for this author. All I can say is I am so curious about what is going to happen in the next book. This one was more suspenseful then the others. Well done Eden I am hooked!

This was a great and quick read. I read it on a plane ride. The writing was excellent. I am honored to take part in this tour to promote this book and the cause. Please take the time to go get your own copy! The links are above!

This Week's Question
Have you ever been inspired by a book character to do something? Who was the character and what was it? - Suggested by Eternity Through Pages

I don't really have a specific character but, I think a lot of characters rub off on us. Like Toni Aleo's books for instance. I am married and on the fence about the whole kids thing. The way she writes about kids in her books makes me want to be a Mom. I know that's probably kind of weird but, coming from someone who never had that dream of motherhood it's pretty huge. I am also a nurse so anytime I read a book about a bad nurse it makes me want to be better.

Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

Title: Velvet
Author: Temple West
Series Number: 1
Release Date: May 12, 2015

Goodreads Summary:
First rule of dealing with hot vampire bodyguards? Don't fall in love.

After losing both her parents before age seventeen, aspiring designer Caitlin Holte feels like her whole world has been turned upside down, and that was before the terrifying encounter with a supernatural force. Then, she learns that her hot bad-boy neighbor, Adrian—who might have just saved her life—is actually a half-demon vampire.

Suddenly Caitlin is stuck with a vampire bodyguard who feels that the best way to protect her is to become her pretend boyfriend. Trouble is, Caitlin is starting to fall in love for real, while Adrian can never love a human. Caitlin trusts Adrian to keep her safe from his demon father, but will he be able to protect her heart?

My Thoughts:
Ok, I know what your all thinking...oooo vampires, give me something new. Well I happen to LOVE vampires and I think I always will. I have been in the market for a good vampire book and this one sounds right up my alley! So all you vamp haters can kiss it!

ARC Review of Pocketful of Sand by M. Leighton

Goodreads Summary:
“She’s beauty for my ashes. And I’m hope for her heartache.”—Cole Danzer.

I don’t know what makes a great love story. Is it that instant attraction when boy meets girl? The passionate kisses and the fairy-tale ending? Or is it a lifetime of tragedy, paid in advance, for a few stolen moments of pure bliss? The pain and the suffering that, in the end, you can say are worth it for having found the missing piece of your soul? 

The answer is: I don’t know. I don’t know what makes a great love story. I only know what makes my love story. I only know that finding Cole when I did, when Emmy and I were running from a nightmare, was the only thing that saved me. That saved us. He was more broken than I was, but somehow we took each other’s shattered pieces and made a whole. If that is what makes a great love story, if that is what makes an epic romance, then mine…ours is the greatest of them all.


**Contains material that some may find disturbing. Not intended for readers under the age of 18**

My Review:
Pocketful of Sand will touch your heart so be prepared to have your heart strings tugged. Eden has not had an easy life. Her parents didn't want children, so when Eden came a long she was given to a couple to watch. This was ok for a while until something happened. This something led to one of the best things in Eden's life. She was never the same after that night. Forever changed at an age when you shouldn't have to grow up. She has made her way to a little beach town with her daughter Emmy. They like it there. It seems like a good place to be, to hide. On her first trip to the beach she meets the town crazy, Cole. It was an interesting encounter. One that leaves her breathless. He is gorgeous but, something is wrong with him. Could these two broken souls mend each other?

Cole is a beautiful man. He is handy too which is nice. Considering at one point her bathtub facet falls off the wall and is spraying water at her and everywhere and who comes to the rescue?? Cole! I can't image something like that happening. Seriously!!! He is gentle and sweet and broken. I can not imagine how he feels after what happened in his life. I simply would be broken. After Cole encounters Eden his heart does something it hasn't in a long time. Is it a betrayal? Can he get over his guilt and be happy again?

This book really touched my heart. Any time children are involved it is so much worse. Children can't protect themselves. Never have I been so angry with a character (Ryan)! You will understand when you read the book. Eden deserves a happy ending. How will it end? The choice is yours ;)

Night Shift Cover Reveal #6!! Healing Touch by Brenda Rothert

Night Shift Anthology Cover Reveal #6

brenda
Title: Healing Touch 
Author: Brenda Rothert 
Release Date: March 17, 2015
Blurb: 
 She spends her nights treating patients, but Dr. Jocelyn Drake’s own wounds are unfixable. Her ex-husband and his younger, bouncier girlfriend work just a few floors away at Tulane Medical Center, and they serve as a constant reminder of what Joss lost. But a fierce determination to continue her research project and a shred of remaining pride keep Joss from transferring out of the Big Easy. Carson Stephens recently returned from a tour of duty in the Middle East, and though willing women present themselves at every turn, his closest companion is loneliness. His night-shift work supervising the electrical and mechanical systems at the hospital is a perfect fit – it’s solitary work putting broken things back together. When the electrical system on Joss’ floor goes haywire, she’s frazzled by the sexy electrician who sparks her dormant sex drive. He’s brooding and cocky – so not her type. But if Carson has his way, his hands will work their magic on more than just the wiring, and he’ll show Joss a night of passion that restores her shattered confidence.

ARC Review of Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver

Goodreads Summary:
New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver delivers a gripping story about two sisters inexorably altered by a terrible accident.

Dara and Nick used to be inseparable, but that was before the accident that left Dara's beautiful face scarred and the two sisters totally estranged. When Dara vanishes on her birthday, Nick thinks Dara is just playing around. But another girl, nine-year-old Madeline Snow, has vanished, too, and Nick becomes increasingly convinced that the two disappearances are linked. Now Nick has to find her sister, before it's too late.


In this edgy and compelling novel, Lauren Oliver creates a world of intrigue, loss, and suspicion as two sisters search to find themselves, and each other.




My Review:
Vanishing Girls blew my mind. It was a psychological thriller that I was not expecting at all. This one was different from any YA book I have read in a long time. Nick and Dara are sisters who used to be friends. After the accident though everything changed. They are now estranged. When Nick goes home for a while things between them are very strained. Things with Nicks best friend and Dara's ex boyfriend. Nick still has a crush on him and after the accident things are even more weird for her. Dara vanishes on her birthday and this leaves Nick in a panic. There was another little girl who went missing too, Madeline Snow. Nick is convinced they disappearances are connected. Will Nick be able to find her sister or will she be to late? 

The dynamic between Nick and Dara is very interesting. I can see why they had a falling out. The book is very well written. We get different POV's from before and after the accident. That way we get a back story too. I felt bad for them. I don't have a sister but, I would assume that having a best friend and then losing them would be awful. They had a decent relationship before and after the accident Nick blames herself for what happened to Dara. They do what ever they can to avoid each other. Nick tries very hard to find her sister. She is pretty worried something bad has happened given how Dara has been acting. This book takes a turn for the...I'm not even sure. Will Nick be able to save her sister?

This book has one of the biggest blog twists I have read about in a long time. Like I said it blew my mind and I was pleasantly surprised by this book! I have not read anything else by this author but, I definitely will now!

Goodreads Summary: (Via Goodreads)
"I thrust my hand toward the sky as my voice begs the Elemental inside me to waken and rise. But it's no use. The curse I've spent my entire life abhorring—the thing I trained so hard to control—no longer exists."

Nym has saved Faelen only to discover that Draewulf stole everything she valued. Now he’s destroyed her Elemental storm-summoning ability as well.

When Nym sneaks off with a host of delegates to Bron, Lord Myles offers her the chance for a new kind of power and the whispered hope that it may do more than simply defeat the monster she loathes. But the secrets the Bron people have kept concealed, along with the horrors Draewulf has developed, may require more than simply harnessing a darker ability.

They may require who she is.

Set against the stark metallic backdrop of the Bron kingdom, Nym is faced with the chance to change the future.

Or was that Draewulf’s plan for her all along?

Amberlyn Reilly took a risk and found a new life in Ireland. She did something drastic and jumped in front of a loaded gun for the one she knew she couldn’t lose. And with her mother’s last request, she did more than fall in love. She fell into Declan O’Callaghan—with her eyes wide open and her damaged heart and soul leading the way.

When Irish-born Declan O’Callaghan spotted Amberlyn across the lake, he knew his life was about to change. And it did. Now he has everything he’s ever dreamed of —he’s marrying for love, and with that love, the family distillery will now be his as long as he marries before the deadline.

Things are moving fast. It’s now or never. And as their beautiful relationship grows, time is something these two don’t have a lot of. Declan’s and Amberlyn’s souls are tightly tethered, but will the questions and second thoughts of others prevent them from having a life they’ve both only begun to dream of? Will family and the obligations that come with the O’Callaghan name push them to their breaking point? Or has the Whiskey Prince truly found his happily ever after taking Amberlyn as his Princess?

My Review
I feel like I have been waiting for more of Declan and Amberlyn's story. With the way the first book ended how could I not!? Amberlyn is recuperating from the events of the last book. Now they have the added stress of also planning a wedding. I think it is safe to say that pretty early on Amberlyn's idea of a wedding was different then Declan's family. Despite the pressure, Amberlyn and Declan are very much in love. Even though their relationship has had some seriously rocky times already. It is blooming and growing into a love that one can only hope for. Every great love story has it's bumps in the road however. When the feelings of doubt start flowing will they be able to over come them?

Declan is a dream. I mean seriously. He time and time again puts himself out there for Amberlyn. He definitely proves himself and his love for her. I can't imagine how hard it would be to be having a whirlwind wedding and being pressured by your new in-laws! It can make planning your life and wedding that much harder and more stressful. Amberlyn is entering a world that is different from everything shes used to. Luckily for Amberlyn she has a pretty awesome guy to lead her through it. Even though she questions her decisions along the way. Lets be honest, they share some pretty steamy moments!! I mean...wow! 

I love Toni Aleo's writing and Becoming the Whiskey Princess is just another example of her awesomeness! I really enjoyed this book and I am so glad I got to take part in the tour for it!
