The Temptation of Lila and Ethan by Jessica Sorensen

On the surface, Lila Summers is flawless: good looks, expensive clothes, and a big, beautiful smile. But a dark past and even darker secrets are threatening to bubble over her perfect façade. She'll do anything to keep the emptiness inside hidden-which leads her into situations that always end badly. Whenever she hits bottom, there's only one person who's there to pull her out: Ethan Gregory.

Ethan set the rules a long time ago: he and Lila are just friends. He doesn't do relationships. Although his tattooed, bad boy exterior is a far cry from Lila's pretty princess image, Ethan can't deny they have a deeper connection than he's used to. If he's not careful, he could be in serious danger of becoming attached-and he's learned the hard way that attachment only leads to heartbreak.

When Lila falls farther than she ever has before, can Ethan continue to help as a friend? Or is he also getting close to falling . . . for her?

A little late to the party...

Unfortunately I have been a little crazy and really behind on my reading. Starting a new job and dealing with two small children and family has been a little time consuming. I have read in the past month a few books that I would like to talk to you about today.
First - Perfect Regret by A. Meredith Walters, The second book to the "Bad Rep" Novel. This story looks at Riley and Garrett's crazy relationship that seems to be nothing but a roller-coaster of emotions and bad mistakes.

 Riley is pretty much the good girl with the good grades and the perfect life. She has it all. Until her boyfriend decides he want's to end it after a year long relationship. Riley finds herself in a miserable state and only can cope with it when she becomes angry at the boy who broke her heart. After a crazy drunken night that her best friend and room mate Maysie decides she needs to be cheered up, Riley finds herself in the arms of the last person she would want to be seen with. Non other than Garrett Bellows, Lead guitarist for "Generation Rejects". Their one night together is instantly a regret for the both of them. Emotions and pride are on the line when it comes to these high strong personalities. They don't seem to know each other, yet are still drawn to one another on a more in depth level. These complete opposites might be the only thing that can heal the hurt they both feel inside from personal daemons and  pride. "Perfect Regret" is a beautiful sequel to the "Bad Rep" novel.

Breaking Nova (Nova #1) by Jessica Sorensen

A must read this year!!!

First off I want to say that I love Jessica Sorensen's books. She is one of many of my favorite authors and I think her writing is outstanding and her stories are exceptional and real. If you have yet to read any of her books I will tell you now to start reading. I have yet to be disappointed in any of them. From "The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden" to "The Redemption of Callie and Kayden" and "The Secret of Ella and Micha" to "The Forever of Ella and Micha". She is one writer that actually touches home with a lot of tough subjects; from child abuse, rape, alcoholic parents, suicide, depression, anxiety, survival, drugs, self worth, and trying to find your place in the world. Her books give you an insight of the reality that some kids and teens live with on a daily basis.
 

With the story of Nova Reed and Quinton Carter I was highly expecting a different turn out when it came close to the end of the story, but I was highly mistaken and shocked to say the least. Not that it was a bad thing in any way! I just tend to read a lot and always seem to find myself guessing the ending before it happens, and in most cases I am right on the ending, but not in this case. I was completely wrong and for that I have to apologize to the author for pretty much calling her predictable, when clearly she was not in any way with this book. Now on to the review:
Nova Reed is broken inside. Her anxiety get's the best of her and her need to control the world around her has a lot to do with the turns of events that made her world turn upside down and for many reasons. When she was twelve years old she watched her father die and found her boyfriend Landon to suicide. When she returns home form her first year at college with her "best" friend Delilah Peirce she finds herself wondering if it was such a great idea to come back tot the one place that has caused her so much pain in the first place.

Quinton Carter rather be dead or high then deal with the reality that is his life. When his father basically kicks Quinton out of the house he takes up refuge with his cousin Tristan, even after everything that happened between them.

When the two finally meet you think it will be an instant connection, but the two are so highly broken that it just seems that putting them together would be wrong. It would be like two opposite puzzle pieces trying to fit together, it just doesn't work. And two broken individuals don't fix each other. And that's why I love this story. It's not a happily ever after, even if I love them, it's real and raw and pure. I feel like this story belongs to one of my friends from high school. That's what makes it great.

If you have yet to pick up or download your copy of "Taming the Playboy" by MJ Carnal. I posted the link below:


Amazon Link:

This book seriously brought me to tears. You will get mad at the characters and you will laugh and feel happy and sad and get angry. But that's what a good book needs, all the emotions that need to come out. I also love that MJ Carnal brought in one of the most beautiful people in the world to be her cover models, fitness model and Shredz athlete, Alex Michael Turner. He truly is an inspiration to many and anti-bully advocate.

Caught Up In You (Loving on the Edge Series #4) by Roni Loren

I usually have a lot to say when it comes to writing my reviews, but I have become stuck for some reason. I guess you can say this is a "reviewers block". LOL. So needless to say that No spoilers will be given to you at this point. So here goes nothing.... I was so excited to read this book. I could not wait to find out about Wyatt and Kelsey's story. I was NOT disappointed!!! I was completely captivated by the true heat and raw emotion between the love of these two. I love the way Roni can make yo...more I read this book in August and realized I had never put my review on my blog.... So here it is LOL.... Spoiler Alert** As some of you may know that Roni Loren is known for her BDSM Romance novels, which by the way I love!! ;) Watch out fictional boyfriend's theirs a new Dom in town. HELLO, Wyatt Austin!!! ;) Reading about Wyatt and Kelsey's story I was kind of expecting the same thing. Boy meets girl, girl and boy have a fight or girl gets kidnaped...so on and so forth. What I was not expecting is kind of a role reversal in this book. I always wanted a Domme to come into a book that I was reading and Roni delivered for me. But please do not get your hopes up, Wyatt does not submit to Kelsey in any way. Wyatt actually adapts their relationship, allowing Kelsey to be who she is with out having to completely give up on what she needs. That's one of the reasons that I love this story. Wyatt was willing to make changes to be with Kelsey and not have her change who she was for him. They both push limits and boundaries with one another and still seem to come out on top. If you have not read any of Roni's books please don't hesitate to get one. I you loved "Fifty Shades of Grey" or not because you thought the writing was not that great, you wont be disappointed in the series.

Gabriel's Redemption (Gabriel's Inferno Trilogy)

  Many of you may know that the release date for Gabriel's Redemption is on December 3, 2013 and I am extremely excited to be one of the many people to be reading and reviewing this book for an amazing author such as Sylvain Reynard. For those of you have not yet read the series you still have time to catch up for the release of the third and I'm guessing (but sadly disappointed) final book in the series.

  When I started reading heavily two years ago, Gabriel's Inferno was the one I simply could not forget. Even though it's been well over a year since I first read the book and the second one, Gabriel's Rapture, I seem to find myself returning to it multiple times over the past few months. Certain parts in the book just seem to latch on to your soul and take hold and never really seem to let go. That's why I can not wait to read the next book, to find out what Sylvain has in store for our beloved Julianne and handsome Professor Gabriel.

  I also have been loving the new and fun way that some people have come up with to introduce the characters and story line with new viewers. On twitter, you can follow the story of Julianne Mitchell and Prof. Gabriel Emerson through @GabrielEmersonsHub. This is a new and fun way of introducing the story from a different point of view. Most people who just don't have the passion to sit down and actually read a book can find this way of presenting the story to viewers in a whole new light. I find this way very entertaining on so many levels. Not only do you get first person point of view but you also can look at the story in a new light.

 If you find the time to pick up a copy of the Gabriel's Inferno Trilogy you will not be disappointed in these great stories.

 I hope every one has a wonderful and fantastic weekend.
