Random Thoughts:

So I started a new weight lifting program yesterday. Don't be fooled, I'm not in shape...at all. Pretty sure I whisper yelled at my husband at the gym saying I would  not be doing that a particular workout...So I am so sore I can hardly walk which means I will have lots of time to be on the computer checking out everyone's posts today! What did you guys get? I have so many books to read I am kind of slowing down the buying until I catch up haha! On a positive note, I got approved for two more ARC's today!! Yay!

Surrender Your Love by J.C. Reed

This one is not a YA book, if you couldn't tell from the cover. Just an FYI before you decide to read it!

Goodreads Summary:

Meeting Jett was like lightning. Dangerous. Better left untouched. And better forgotten. But lightning always strikes twice.

Brooke Stewart, a realtor in New York, doesn’t do relationships. When she’s sent to a remote estate to finalize a real estate deal, she discovers her new boss is no other than the guy she left naked in bed.

Sexy, dangerously handsome, and arrogant Jett Mayfield attracts trouble, and women, like a lightning rod. But the night he meets Brooke he gets more than he bargained for. The green-eyed millionaire playboy isn’t used to taking no for an answer, and he isn’t about to start now.

When he proposes two months of no strings sex, Brooke is intrigued and accepts his proposal. Little does she know Jett’s determined to claim the one woman he can’t have, pulling her deeper into his dangerous world.

A man who doesn't take 'no' for an answer.
A woman afraid to surrender to love.
Two lives that are about to cross...and secrets laid bare.

My Review:
I was contacted to review this book by the author. And boy am I glad she reached out. I really enjoyed Surrender Your Love. The book kept me on the edge of my seat and honestly I didn't see the end coming. Brooke and Jett are two people who both had rough pasts. Their family lives were not ideal when they were growing up. Because of that they both have a few issues as adults. Brooke is kind of working at at dead end job but, she hasn't found anything better yet. Jett is a rich hot guy with a very successful business. It's this business that brings them together. 

Brooke ends up getting recruited for the job of a lifetime. When the mysterious new boss turns out to be none other then the guy who was in her bed a day ago things are uphill from there! Brook and Jett spend a wonderful 2 weeks in Italy looking at a property that Jett needs to purchase. They do get to know each other quite fast. They realize they have more in common then they thought. Can a relationship possibly last with Brooke's boss? Can she get over her insecurities about commitment?? Brooke feels like Jett is keeping something from her...what could it be?

Jett is your typical hot guy whose dripping with cash. He gets what he wants when he wants it. This is kind of new for Brooke but, she goes with it. Jett is a powerful man who has to buy the property in Italy at any cost. This property does have a bit of a past to it. Lets just say that little something isn't an ideal selling point. But, none the less Jett needs it. I am hoping to figure out why in the next book! About half way through I felt like Jett was kind of pining for Brooke. Which is a nice change from the girl falling head over heals for someone who doesn't want her and blah blah blah. I loved his little point of view at the end. It was a great way to wrap up the book and I hope we get some more from his perspective. 

I am so glad I was offered a review copy of Surrender Your Love. It was a great and quick read. I am looking forward to the next installment!

Title: The Bane
Author: Keary Taylor
Release Date: March 5, 2013
Series Number: 1

Goodreads Summary:

Before the Evolution there was TorBane: technology that infused human DNA with cybernetic matter. It had the ability to grow new organs and limbs, to heal the world. Until it evolved out of control and spread like the common cold. The machine took over, the soul vanished, and the Bane were born. The Bane won't stop until every last person has been infected. With less than two percent of the human population left, mankind is on the brink of extinction.

Eve knows the stories of the Evolution, the time before she wandered into the colony of Eden, unable to recall anything but her name. But she doesn't need memories to know this world is her reality. This is a world that is quickly losing its humanity, one Bane at a time.

Fighting to keep one of the last remaining human colonies all live, Eve finds herself torn between her dedication to the colony, and the discovery of love. There is Avian and West – one a soldier, one a keeper of secrets. And in the end, Eve will make a choice that will change the future of mankind.

The Bane is The Terminator meets The Walking Dead with a heart-twisting romance.

Previously published as Eden, due to reader demand it has been revamped and re-released as The Bane: book one in The Eden Trilogy.

My Thoughts:
I have heard a lot about this book and have seen it on a few other blogs. I read the summary and I really like the sound of it! I guess it is a re-release which is interesting. I had not heard of it previously. Have any of you read it? What are your thoughts??

Shattered (The Secret Life of Trystan Scott #4) by H.M. Ward

Goodreads Summary:
After Mari's attempt to help Trystan goes horribly wrong they are both forced to deal with the consequences.
















My Review:
Shattered picked up literally right where Riptide left off. Mari is left standing outside Trystan's door after his dad tackled him. She does the brave thing and goes into the house. Things unfold in a terrible way and someone almost dies! I know right! Things for Mari and Trystan change after that. There is some serious guilt  on Trystan's side of things. It was because of him that all that happened to Mari. But, Mari stands tall. She is one heck of a girl. She is able to withstand a lot. Especially, after what happens and from her parents. Her parents are pretty much terrible. I have a hard time liking them even a little bit. Her and Trystan are soul mates. Seriously....They fit each other so well. They are each other's rock. That light at in the dark that keeps them going. It really is the perfect love story. Things take another turn at the very end of the books. Things are forever going to change and I don't know how it will turn out for them. I desperately want them to be together!!!

Trystan is the silent hero. He puts on an amazing show for the world even when something horrific happens to him. The guy has been through enough. I really hope his luck changes. He truly cares about Mari. His feelings are so well written it's like your really inside his head. Just perfect. Trystan is in need of a new life. As long as Mari's in it I don't think it would matter if they lived in a box or a mansion. True love!

I LOVE this series! If you haven't read it yet then now is the time!! Get all the novella's and catch up!

Off Sides by Sawyer Bennett

Goodreads Summary:
“I'm not sure what possessed me to do it. Maybe it was the impossible expectations I faced, maybe it was my own self-loathing. But I just knew I needed something different to happen. I needed someone...something...to derail me from my current path. Otherwise, I would become lost...a hollowed out shell of a man. So I did it. I approached her, then I pursued her, then I made her mine. And my life was saved...”

Ryan Burnham is the privileged son of a U.S. Congressman and captain of his university’s hockey team. While he is on the verge of fulfilling his dreams to play in the NHL, his parents want him on a different course. One he is expected to accept for the sake of his family’s public image.

Forced her to abandon her music career after the heart breaking death of her parents, Danny Cross exists on the opposite side of the tracks from Ryan. She is struggling to make her own way, working two jobs, attending college part time and volunteering in a homeless shelter. She is on a mission to build her own success.

With a chance meeting, their vastly different worlds collide, causing each to evaluate whether they are truly on the correct path to self-fulfillment and happiness. Can their relationship survive? Particularly when others are against them every step of the way. A lot can happen in just ten short days...

My Review:
Well as you all know I am a hockey NUT! So books with hockey in them are kind of a given. The author asked if I'd review Off Sides and I was like um yes! I read this book in 2 days. I really got into it. I loved the way it went between Danny and Ryan's point of view. I really like books that do that. We get to know more about each of the characters. Ryan is the rich jock who has rich friends. Some of them are decent and some are your typical snobby rich kids. Ryan meets Danny when he and his friends go to the diner she works at. She's not  your typical match for Ryan. She has purple tipped hair and facial piercings but, Ryan is instantly attracted to her. Things for Ryan and Danny get off to a rough start. They work through some of it but, lets face it they are from different social crowds and this leads to some awkward moments. Danny seems like a genuinely great person. I felt bad for her during certain points. When Angeline talked to her and Ryan's Mom. Just awful. I really enjoyed the book and I would recommend it. 

Ryan changed through this book. I think Danny changes him. For the better of course. He has been a victim of his own family his whole life. Danny helps free him from that. Ryan's family is all about impressions. They care so much about what other people think of them that it seriously wrecks them. His Mom is a piece of work. He turns out to be a pretty awesome guy. Oh yea, and he's the captain of the college hockey team. Which is huge!! Well in my eyes anyway. His parents never really wanted him to pursue that dream. They want him to be a lawyer. Danny helps his see that his dreams matter. Danny has some secrets of her own and has her own family stuff too. They are kind of perfect for each other. However, something tears them apart. Ryan is in trouble with the law and Danny does whats necessary to save him. Will it mean the end of their relationship?? Of each others dreams?

I really enjoyed this story and if you like romance/hot guys/hockey then this books is for you.

Title: The Fiery Heart

Author: Richelle Mead

Release Date: November 19, 2013

Series Number: 4

Goodreads Summary:

In The Indigo Spell, Sydney was torn between the Alchemist way of life and what her heart and gut were telling her to do. And in one breathtaking moment that Richelle Mead fans will never forget, she made a decision that shocked even her. . . .

But the struggle isn't over for Sydney. As she navigates the aftermath of her life-changing decision, she still finds herself pulled in too many directions at once. Her sister Zoe has arrived, and while Sydney longs to grow closer to her, there's still so much she must keep secret. Working with Marcus has changed the way she views the Alchemists, and Sydney must tread a careful path as she harnesses her profound magical ability to undermine the way of life she was raised to defend. Consumed by passion and vengeance, Sydney struggles to keep her secret life under wraps as the threat of exposure—and re-education—looms larger than ever.

Pulses will race throughout this thrilling fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe.

My Thoughts:

I have liked everything I have read by Richelle Mead. Bloodlines turned out to be an amazign series. I loved The Indigo Spell and I can't wait to see what is going to happen in book 4. Have any of you read this series yet? What do you think? I also love this cover!

Book 1 Info

Goodreads Summary:

He makes good girls...bad. 

Dante Walker is flippin’ awesome, and he knows it. His good looks, killer charm, and stellar confidence have made him one of hell’s best—a soul collector. His job is simple: weed through humanity and label those round rears with a big red good or bad stamp. Old Saint Nick gets the good guys, and he gets the fun ones. Bag-and-tag.

Sealing souls is nothing personal. Dante’s an equal-opportunity collector and doesn't want it any other way. But he’ll have to adjust, because Boss Man has given him a new assignment:

Collect Charlie Cooper’s soul within ten days.

Dante doesn't know why Boss Man wants Charlie, nor does he care. This assignment means only one thing to him, and that’s a permanent ticket out of hell. But after Dante meets the quirky Nerd Alert chick he’s come to collect, he realizes this assignment will test his abilities as a collector…and uncover emotions deeply buried.

My Thoughts

I haven't read the fist book yet because it's not out yet! But, I love this cover for book 2! I'm so excited for this series. The first book The Collector comes out April 2, 2013! Yay!

Wait for You by J.Lynn (Jennifer Armentrout)

Goodreads Summary:
Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself.

Some things are worth experiencing…

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.

Some things should never be kept quiet…

But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

And some things are worth fighting for…

My Review:
Wait for You is considered a New Adult book. I have to say I am loving this new genre. Avery has had a very difficult past. She ran from her family and her past to college in West Virginia. She is pretty reserved and it takes a little bit to make friends. On her first day she literally runs into Cam. After that she sees him everywhere and he happens to live across the hall from her too. These two have a hard time starting a relationship. Both of them have big secrets and aren't willing to share them for a while. This isn't your typical girl meets hot cocky guy and falls in insta love with him. These guys grow a relationship and it's not easy. I loved all the characters in this book. They were well developed and very enjoyable.The story contains some very mature topics like suicide and sexual assault. I thought the way that was in there was written very well. It can be something hard to write about.

Cam was just plain awesome. The hot cocky/confident guy. His personality was so different from Avery's but, they really clicked. I loved Raphael as well. He was just the all around perfect guy. The reformed womanizer. He knew when to push and when to back off. Always so confident in the way he was. I really liked him. One of my favorite characters. I really wonder what went on in his head sometimes. His family was awesome too! Again they were very different from Avery's uptight parents. He had is trouble in the past too but, had worked through it and it made him a better person. I think he did that for Avery and really did change her life. 

There were some times when I was frustrated with Avery. I wanted her to just sit and talk with Cam! To tell him what happened to her when she was 14. I figured it out, kind of, pretty quickly. But, when you think about it more it is something extremely hard to talk about. Especially when it went down the way it did with her family and friends. So I would get frustrated then think about it and I would have probably done the same thing. 

I have loved J. Lynn's adult and New Adult books and I am anxiously awaiting more of those books! This one kept me up late at night and I loved every minute of it. 

ARC review of The Arrangement #4 by H.M. Ward

Goodreads Summary:

Avery finds out too late that her heart isn’t cut out to be a call girl. She’s too attracted to Sean. Avery doesn’t just want Sean’s body, she wants his heart. When he sent her away, Avery was devastated. Trying to pick up the pieces is hard, especially since she can’t get another job. 

Caught in an impossible position with her employer, everything hinges on making this next client happy, but things don’t go as they should. To make matters worse, Sean shows up at the worst time. Avery dreams of a chance to start over, to erase Sean from her life forever and leave her old life behind. But, it’s beginning to look more and more like just a dream.

Genre: New Adult Romance
This story unfolds over multiple volumes approx. 20,000 words each.
~The Arrangement Vol 1, 2, 3 & 4 are on sale now.~

My Review:
This series just keeps getting better and better. Avery is on the outs with Sean because he basically returned her when Avery told him she loved him. So she did what any normal woman would do and threw a pile of cash at him and walked out. The bad thing is Black wants her money back and Avery doesn't have it obviously. So Black has an idea. Avery must pay her back by working and it will take a while. She has also signed her preference sheet to do anything! Things for Avery don't really get better. She is worried about what she is going to have to do. She keeps running into Sean at very inopportune times. She keeps running from him. She can't face him. This leads to a very  bad thing. 

I feel so bad for Avery. I know I have said that before but, seriously. Can't anything go right for her? I thought she was at the end of her rope in the last volume but, it's even worse now. Now she is in debt to Black. And if she doesn't pay her back the penalty will be severe. Ugh! I have to know how this is all going to end!

I have no idea what to think about Sean. Sometimes he's super sweet and the next time he's a major butt. I know Avery discovered one of his secrets and maybe he just can't handle it. I think he does regret what he did to her though as you will figure out as you read Vol. 4. I still like Sean and I hope he pulls his head out of his behind. 

The ending left me shocked. I finished it at work and literally cursed out loud when I read the end. Luckily I was alone. I really hope that Volume 5 comes out soon because that was the biggest cliffhanger EVER! It really seems like everything is against Sean and Avery. It's like fate is against them. I hope a miracle happens.  That's all I'm going to say.

Title: The Eternity Cure (Blood of Eden Series)

Author: Julie Kagawa

Series Number: 2

Release Date: April 23, 2013

Goodreads Summary: 

Allison Sekemoto has vowed to rescue her creator, Kanin, who is being held hostage and tortured by the psychotic vampire Sarren. The call of blood leads her back to the beginning—New Covington and the Fringe, and a vampire prince who wants her dead yet may become her wary ally.

Even as Allie faces shocking revelations and heartbreak like she’s never known, a new strain of the Red Lung virus that decimated humanity is rising to threaten human and vampire alike.

My Thoughts:

The first book in this series was The Immortal Rules (Blood of Eden #1) and I loved it! I have been really excited for the second book to get released. The summary is short but, it still sounds amazing! I'm super glad that it's in April which isn't to far away. This is the only series I have read by Julie Kagawa. I'm undecided if I am going to read the others. Have any of you read this series yet? Did you like it if you did?
