So I know I haven't posted in ages and that's because (I'm very excited to mention...)<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">I'm moving! </span></h2>
Blogger has been great for the last couple of years that I've been using it. However recently I've had some serious issues trying to post pictures, have comments posted or approved, and lots of spam. As you've probably noticed, my pictures come up as question marks and it makes it difficult to share book covers, banners, author photos, and any gifs used.<br />
<br />
The link to my new blog will be posted below and hopefully I can be more successful over at wordpress.com - thank you guys for being so supportive over the last few years I've worked here!<br />
<br />
So without further ado:<br />

My new site is called Pierced Reader and I'm very excited to unveil it! It's under construction still but here it is!</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As the Prada-clad bad girl of Rosemary Beach, Nan Dillon has been called every vile name under the hot summer sun. Some of her reputation is deserved—she’s never had to worry about anything but maintaining her perfect figure and splitting Daddy’s private jet with her brother, Rush.<br /><br />But Nan is far from happy. Rush has another kid on the way and doesn’t have time to catch <span class="il">up</span> with his sister. Grant, the last guy she truly cared about, chose to be with her half-sister, Harlow, instead of her. And Harlow, who has never gotten over the way Nan treated her when she first moved to town, remains distant.<br /><br />So when Major asks her out, she jumps at the chance to date the gorgeous charmer. Though she doesn’t know much about the sweet-talking Texan, and though it’s clear he doesn’t want to be exclusive, dating him beats hanging out with vapid socialites or watching Netflix alone at home.<br /><br />For a while, Nan deals with Major’s playboy ways, but after he burns her one too many times, she takes off for an impromptu wild weekend <span class="il">in</span> Vegas. There, she meets Gannon, a darkly seductive and oh-so-dangerous businessman who knows exactly how to handle her.<br /><br />With Major asking for a second chance and Gannon haunting her dreams, Nan has to decide who to give her heart to. But what she doesn’t realize is that these players are involved <span class="il">in</span> a much bigger game—and they’re already two moves ahead of her. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Fate isn’t something to mess with… and now, neither is Alex.</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Alex has always feared two things: losing herself in the Awakening and being placed on the Elixir. But love has always been stronger than Fate, and Aiden St. Delphi is willing to make war on the gods—and Alex herself—to bring her back.</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">The gods have killed thousands and could destroy entire cities in their quest to stop Seth from taking Alex’s power and becoming the all-powerful God Killer. But breaking Alex’s connection to Seth isn’t the only problem. There are a few pesky little loopholes in the whole “an Apollyon can’t be killed” theory, and the only person who might know how to stop the destruction has been dead for centuries.</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Finding their way past the barriers that guard the Underworld, searching for one soul among countless millions, and then somehow returning will be hard enough. Alex might be able to keep Seth from becoming the God Killer… or she might become the God Killer herself.</span></span><br />

My fellow book-readers, I'm very hurt to say that I haven't read anything this month. I'm going to set a reasonable goal for this year (30 books) and even more reasonable goals (more attainable) for each month. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This month I want to read a book. I know it's not a lot, but there isn't many days left in the month and I haven't felt the urge to read.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm in the mood for paranormal young adult romance, so I'm looking at these:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Oblivion by Jennifer L. Armentrout</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><br />

Lots of it. </span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are. </span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game. </span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Falling for Katy—a human—won't just place her in danger. It could get us all killed, and that’s one thing I’ll never let happen...</span></span><br />

Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world?

After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><em style="color: #181818;">Together, they can face anything.</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"> </span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on? </span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><em style="color: #181818;">And will they even be together?</em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">The last few days have been the darkest of Sally’s life. After experiencing the joy of finding her mate, she now suffers the pain of losing everything she holds dear. Both the Romanian and Serbian packs have been captured, ripping Sally’s soul mate away from her almost as soon as she had found him. Her best friend and the emotional glue that usually holds Sally together, Jacque Pierce, lies writhing in a restless coma, having been put down by Desdemona’s dark magic. Jennifer Adams, the unshakable one, has revealed to her friends and her mate that she is pregnant, but the Fates have marked her unborn baby for death. Though she rails against the darkness, deep inside Jen knows that Decebel’s baby must die as payment for her own life, and the knowledge is tearing her soul to pieces. Cypher, King of the Warlocks, has claimed Jacque’s mother as his mate and agreed to help Desdemona open a door that would release a horde of demons from beyond the Veil. </span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Though her world is crashing down around her, Sally holds out hope. The Great Luna is not sitting idly by. She has commanded the Fey council to call upon the packs—all of them. And though Cypher looks for a way to open the Veil for Desdemona, he struggles to protect Lilly and the wolves at the same time. Peri, the ever-courageous High Fae, and a contingent of the remaining females of the Romanian and Serbian packs, push on through the rough Carpathian Mountains. Though they are bound to the human realm, they continue to search for a way to cross over to the land of the Fey. Meanwhile, in reluctant obedience to the Great Luna, the Fey council sends representatives to the far corners of the globe, meeting with the pack Alphas. The Fey must convince the Alphas of every pack to lay aside their petty territorial squabbles and battles of dominance. If they refuse, both the humans and the supernatural races will fall at Mona’s feet.</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Sally holds to a shred of hope. Though Vasile, Decebel, and their pack mates endure the torture of the In-Between, living their worst nightmares over and over, Sally holds. Though she knows that it is only a matter of time before their wolves take over, she holds. Sally knows that if the males die, then so too will their mates who have performed the Blood Rites, including her best friends Jen and Jacque. Yet she holds. If the males lose themselves to their wolves and turn feral, so too do their mates. Still she holds. Though Vasile, the strongest Alpha in their history to unite the wolves, is lost beyond the Veil, Sally holds. Though Decebel, the only other wolf besides Vaile strong enough to unite the packs, suffers beyond the Veil, Sally will hold. No one is left to unite their race, and defeat Desdemona. Yet Sally still holds. She holds out hope that the Great Luna will not abandon them, cannot abandon them. Throughout the centuries, the Great Luna has always provided a gypsy healer to the packs, especially in times of great need. Now Sally is that healer. Sally fears what role she has to play in the defeat of Desdemona, but she will play it. Though heaven and hell unite against her, she WILL play it.</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">For too long the supernatural races have lived in separation, warring amongst themselves, allowing trivial power plays and selfish disputes to keep them from uniting. That separation has made them weak. Now, being summoned as a collective force to the same land, will they come? Will they come in numbers greater than have been seen in centuries? Will they destroy each other and save Mona the trouble, or will they finally unite and fight as one?</span></span><br />

I remember my excitement when I got the email about the book because I've been waiting for Captain's book. I loved the book, but also had some mixed emotions. I was frustrated at the back story of Rose and Captain. I got confused on more then one occasion and had to go back to re-read what was really happening. However, once the frustration passed, I was very pleased. I like that this book wasn't all sex. Rose and Captain really built up a relationship - I especially loved the arguing in the beginning. I liked that Rose refused to take crap from Captain.</span><br style="color: #181818; font-weight: normal;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-weight: normal;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: normal;">Franny was a nice add in, I liked her character. She kind of reminded me of Micah from Abbi's other series, Sea Breeze. The story was steady, and didn't lead to constant breaking up (a trend appearing in many new adult novels nowadays). The build of the relationship was well done, it was a fun read. I really liked to be able to go back and read about Captain when he was fifteen, it's fun to see how different people are, and the way Abbi really puts in character development was genius.</span><br style="color: #181818; font-weight: normal;" /><br style="color: #181818; font-weight: normal;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-weight: normal;">Again, as I say in many other review for this series, I love the Rosemary Beach series, and am sad that there will only be one more continuing novel. I love the setting and the characters, and will be sad to let them go soon. I hated Captain in the beginning of When You're Back, and ended up really liking him in this book. I was expecting some like, but I really love Rose and Captain together.</span></span></b></div>

Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.</strong><br /><br />As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must ...and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty.<br /><br />The old gods have no power in the south, Stark's family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne.</span></span><br />

R. Martin was born September 20, 1948, in Bayonne, New Jersey. His father was Raymond Collins Martin, a longshoreman, and his mother was Margaret Brady Martin. He has two sisters, Darleen Martin Lapinski and Janet Martin Patten. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px;">Martin attended Mary Jane Donohoe School and Marist High School. He began writing very young, selling monster stories to other neighborhood children for pennies, dramatic readings included. Later he became a comic book fan and collector in high school, and began to write fiction for comic fanzines (amateur fan magazines). Martin's first professional sale was made in 1970 at age 21: "The Hero," sold to Galaxy, published in February, 1971 issue. Other sales followed. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px;">In 1970 Martin received a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, graduating summa cum laude. He went on to complete a M.S. in Journalism in 1971, also from Northwestern. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px;">As a conscientious objector, Martin did alternative service 1972-1974 with VISTA, attached to Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation. He also directed chess tournaments for the Continental Chess Association from 1973-1976, and was a Journalism instructor at Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, from 1976-1978. He wrote part-time throughout the 1970s while working as a VISTA Volunteer, chess director, and teacher. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px;">In 1975 he married Gale Burnick. They divorced in 1979, with no children. Martin became a full-time writer in 1979. He was writer-in-residence at Clarke College from 1978-79. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px;">Moving on to Hollywood, Martin signed on as a story editor for Twilight Zone at CBS Television in 1986. In 1987 Martin became an Executive Story Consultant for Beauty and the Beast at CBS. In 1988 he became a Producer for Beauty and the Beast, then in 1989 moved up to Co-Supervising Producer. He was Executive Producer for Doorways, a pilot which he wrote for Columbia Pictures Television, which was filmed during 1992-93. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px;">Martin's present home is Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (he was South-Central Regional Director 1977-1979, and Vice President 1996-1998), and of Writers' Guild of America, West.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">I originally wanted to read this series through the TV show. I never watched it, but my sister did. She was always trying to get me to watch it, but I refused because I always said "I want to read the book". Well Sydney, I finally did.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><img class="escapedImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1439331272r/15823555._SX540_.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; max-width: 430px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">There will be slight spoilers in this review.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">I was intrigued by the idea of this book and got really excited because I thought this series was finished. I thought it was six books long and I, for some reason, though that A Dance with Dragons was the final book. But now that I see that it's not I'm nervous. People are saying that George R. R. Martin takes really long to write these (which is understandable due to the length and depth of the novel), but I don't want to be 55 when I finish this series. So now I'm trying to take my time in reading the rest of the series.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">My favourite character was Arya; she reminded me most of myself, especially when I was around her age. Very curious and a tomboy. Her journey was most exciting to me; she had sword lessons, she was very close with Jon, and she found a secret escape route of the castle. I must say I was angered with her ending in the book because it was so abrupt and even so we hardly got any of her POV through the book. But she was fascinating enough to keep me excited for her chapter.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><img class="escapedImg" src="https://d.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1398171098ra/9379625.gif" style="border: 0px; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; max-width: 430px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">I also really loved Jon Snow; I will admit that that was influenced by the show's actor, but can you blame me?</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><img class="escapedImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1439331272r/15823556._SX540_.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; max-width: 430px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">(No, he is not the little man with the bow and arrow)</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">He was most honourable and I really did feel sorry for him being born a bastard. I felt Jon and Arya deserved to be part of house Winterfell most due to their honourability and love of their family. Even though Jon was a bastard, he was still around Robb, Arya, and Bran a lot. They all seemed to love having him around but Catelyn wouldn't accept that. Oh no, not someone who might actually be better then her own children. Gosh, Catelyn bothered me the most in this novel. She had to be one of the most hated people I've ever read in a book. Remember when she told Jon he should be in Bran's place (dying and paralyzed)? It really should have been her.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Since I've finished explaining the characters I liked, I thought I should really mention Tyrion.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><img class="escapedImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1439331272r/15823557._SX540_.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; max-width: 430px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">My sister loves him in the show (I swear, his hair gets better), and thought I might take a liking to him as well. I really don't know how I felt about him. He was funny enough, and I enjoyed his banter with others. He was also most smart and it was nice to hear about how Jamie really cared about him. Even thought Tyrion was an imp, he still had feelings, but he told Jon Snow to wear your flaws as armour and that seems like a great way to think of things. Plus he reminded me a lot of Gregory House when he was begging to keep his "pets", which were actually the people he picked up along the way on his journey. Which humoured me because of this picture:</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><img class="escapedImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1439331272r/15823558._SX540_.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; max-width: 430px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Daenerys is a character I keep forgetting was even there because of the fact that all the stories intertwine with one another except for Dany's. The reader will see Tyrion in Jon's POV and Catelyn in Eddard's and so on. I felt pretty neutral about Dany, didn't feel any immediate love for her. She was just an okay character for me. I didn't like how she kept trying to command her khalesar to follow her even though she wasn't a khal. I get that she was his khalessi, but they need to move on. And little did she realize, but after khal Drogo died, she pretty much became her brother, Viseryes.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><img class="escapedImg" src="https://d.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1439331272ra/15823559.gif" style="border: 0px; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; max-width: 430px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Sansa was just a pain in the butt; she was constantly blaming everything on everyone else. And stop with the Joffrey obsession! She didn't know him, not one ounce, and he was her "prince". Oh my prince this, my prince that. *shudders* It was real annoying after about three times of hearing it from her. She was ridiculous, but not the way George R. R. Martin wrote her; I'm glad he wrote her this way so that I could hate on her, like I do with her mom, Catelyn.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Bran was a character I enjoyed reading about because he wasn't always complain constantly and he enjoyed climbing (at least when he could). However, I was really sad that there wasn't a POV for Robb; I think I may have preferred that to Bran or even Sansa. I really hope that Bran remembers about Cersei and Jamie because that secret died with Ned.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Ah, Ned. He was another character that I enjoyed reading, however his POV came up too much for me. I feel that I may of loved Arya the most because her POV was like a rare sight. Ned was enjoyable to read most of the time, but sometimes I found myself having to re-read a paragraph of Ned's because the following paragraph didn't make sense. However, that's expected in a book as long as this one.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">The Lannisters where annoying people as well (aside from Tyrion), but I must say that I need to applaud Cersei. She is very smart when she's on her own and can get herself out of a tight situation. I actually wanted a POV for Cersei as well as Jamie. However, I find it appalling that they sleep together because "they're twins". Ew, just no. But for some reason I found that I liked Jamie, even a little bit. So that may be why I like the Lannisters a little.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><img class="escapedImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1439331272r/15823560.jpg" style="border: 0px; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; max-width: 430px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">All in all, the story was great and I do plan on reading the second hopefully this September or October. Side note: the actors chosen to play each character in the show were greatly chosen.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and shatter her heart. For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire—and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="freeTextreview1236441344" style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I knew the inevitable was slowly creeping up on me. Yes, I've been putting off this review; I loved this book and I already know that I can't really put into words why I loved it or how much, but I will definitely try.<br /><br />This book has turned into a TV series that plays on Starz/Showtime. I've gotten a lot of questions if I'm going to watch the TV series or not, but I don't think I will. I've had the same situation come upon me with Game of Thrones and like I've already told others, I prefer books. I like the fact that with books, you can imagine each character as you want to. I imagined Claire much different from the TV series, but Jamie is perfect in the TV series. It's a spitting image of how I imagined him.<br /><br /><span style="max-width: 430px;"><img class="escapedImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1413771401r/11560779._SX540_.jpg" style="border: 0px; max-width: 430px;" /></span><br /><br />Unfortunately I had some of the first book spoiled for me but it didn't stop me from really liking the book! It was like a big adventure and I really enjoyed the journey. Claire was a complicated character whom I disliked in the beginning; it wasn't that she was a bad character I just thought she was really boring. To be honest, I actually can hardly remember any of the beginning with Frank. Frank, who? Oh yeah, Frank, the guy you wouldn't shut up about. Honestly when I saw the picture of Frank online, all I could think is he dulls in comparison to Jamie. Seriously, who would you pick?<br /><br /><span style="max-width: 430px;"><img class="escapedImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1439576197r/15855739._SX540_.jpg" style="border: 0px; max-width: 430px;" /></span><br /><br />My favourite part of the book was when Jamie went "for a swim". He was trying to get the wheel to turn at his old home and ended up losing his red shorts. I found that humorous.<br /><br /><span style="max-width: 430px;"><img class="escapedImg" src="https://d.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1439576112ra/15855722.gif" style="border: 0px; max-width: 430px;" /></span><br /><br />Obviously no one likes Captain Randall (or Blackjack, whatever you want to call him), but I especially disliked Laoghaire because of her... <em>thing</em> with Jamie. She frustrated me thinking they had this "special thing". However, I was extremely pleased when she saw Jamie carrying Claire, as well as when Claire told Jamie that he could be with whomever he wanted. He got so possessive and that pleased me even more.<br /><br /><span style="max-width: 430px;"><img class="escapedImg" src="https://d.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1439576112ra/15855723.gif" style="border: 0px; max-width: 430px;" /></span><br /><br />I feel like it's important to discuss the "BDSM" or lack thereof in the book. I've seen multiple reviews comparing Jamie to Christian Grey and his "ways". First of all, this book is NOT sexist. Might I remind you of the era of the book? Way back when, women were punished for not listening. Men were too, differently then women were. This book does NOT have BDSM in it either. There's a scene when Claire is spanked, big whoop. It wasn't meant to be a sexual encounter; yes, Jamie was turned on. That doesn't mean that Christian Grey is a reincarnation of him. Most men would be turned on by doing something of this to their wife/fiancee/girlfriend. You know why? Men are visual and primal creatures. When they do something like this, it's something only they get to do/see. Outlander should not be thought of as demeaning or sexist.<br /><br /><span style="max-width: 430px;"><img class="escapedImg" src="https://d.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1439576112ra/15855724.gif" style="border: 0px; max-width: 430px;" /></span><br /><br />I'm not trying to say that if you didn't like this book you're wrong, I'm just placing my opinion; I wouldn't call this book sexist because a lot of what happened in this book, happened in this era. Back then, it wasn't a big surprise if a prisoner was raped or beat. You would hope it wasn't happening today, but it does still happen, just not as common.<br /><br /><span style="max-width: 430px;"><img class="escapedImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1439576112r/15855725._SX540_.jpg" style="border: 0px; max-width: 430px;" /></span><br /><br />Anyway, moreover to the point of the review: I enjoyed this book. BUT... the beginning was a little slow for my taste. I had a difficult time reading the first 30 or so pages. I actually started this book about a month or two before I actually got into the book, and the reason I stopped was because I couldn't understand what was "so desirable" about this book. It bored me, and there were multiple times through the book that I had to go back and re-read a paragraph. However, you can expect that in a book as long as this one. That's the reason for four stars.<br /><br />Honestly, I'm not going to be that person to say "everyone read this". It's certainly not for everyone, and I didn't even think I'd enjoy it myself. However, I have a Sydney to keep pushing it on me (thank you Syd). Anyway, if you like romance I recommend it. You might find you like the past times, you might not. But whatever you do, try your best to get past the first 50 or so pages because it's worth it.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sucking in a breath, I took him in. Rhett was good-looking in the completely opposite way of Ben. Ben had been handsome in a clean-cut, manicured way. Then there was Rhett…who looked like he could have been a construction worker or a firefighter…or maybe a male stripper dressed up as a construction worker or a firefighter. He was lean, muscular, tan, rugged, and the very sight of him, even from a distance, brought heat to my cheeks.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not to mention, the man was like catnip. The bar area was packed with hungry felines on the prowl. He moved fast, making drinks, smiling at the women he served, and embodying every frat-boy (minus the frat) image I could conjure in my mind. The memory of him from when I was sixteen wasn’t something easily forgotten, and a tingle touched my lips as my mind replayed the kiss we’d once shared.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Still…he wasn’t Ben.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sadness washed over me like a bucket of ice water. I shook off the feeling. Rhett had made me feel better once before, and I had no reason to doubt the same thing couldn’t work for me a second time. The only difference now was, I wanted to take it to the next level. I wanted to give up my virginity to him…tonight. No point in saving myself for someone who wasn’t alive anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Holy shit,” I said aloud. Breaking my eyes away from Rhett, I brought my attention back to the table and to my drink. Feeling like I was buried ten feet deep in teenage hormones, grief, and God knows what else, I removed the straw, as it was only slowing me down, and I finished the remainder of my drink in a giant swallow. The alcohol burned going down, and I grimaced. “That man is not for the faint of heart,” I mumbled to myself as I set down a now empty glass. “And neither is my plan for him tonight.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kimberly sighed. “The teacher in me probably should warn you that this is a bad idea,” she said, shaking her head. “But the girlfriend in me is going to do the opposite.” She leaned closer and her face turned very sincere. “You deserve this—to be young and stupid and go for something you want. All we have is the present moment. The past is gone, and the future isn’t guaranteed. So have a little fun. Knock that boy off his feet.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For the first time in a long time, I laughed. “He’s not going to remember me.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She shrugged. “So what. Make a new memory.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Convinced, though I’d made up my mind hours before coming here tonight, I stood up ready to go talk to Rhett, ready for <i>whatever</i> to happen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kimberly’s eyes went wide. “Yes,” she whispered. “You can do this.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I need to know something,” I said, lingering by the table. “Are you sure you’re okay with this? I kind of got the impression that you might have liked Rhett when you went to high school with him. I could find someone else—”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“No. Rhett is perfect for this. Sure, I had a crush on him like everyone else in high school, but that was ages ago. I’m with Cody now. I love Cody. I don’t need a man-child like Rhett, that’s for damn certain.” She smirked at me. “But you go get <i>your</i> man-child, honey. He should be fun for one night.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Fine.” Laughing, I left Kimberly. I’d lied to her a second ago. If she’d said no about Rhett than I wouldn’t be attempting this with someone random. Only Rhett would do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Feeling surprisingly confident, I approached the bar. I wore a short beach dress that buttoned in the front and showed off my long legs. My platinum hair was curled in big waves, beauty pageant worthy, and it fell just past my shoulders. I’d even broken out the high heels for this. No matter who I was on the inside, outwardly I wasn’t the nerdy girl with glasses anymore.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There was exactly one open seat. Setting my purse on top of the bar, I sat down. I unbuttoned one more button on my cotton dress and waited to be noticed. Rhett’s back was to me so he wasn’t noticing anything.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Five minutes passed and nothing happened. I unbuttoned another button, but changed my mind and redid it when the older man sitting beside me started staring at my chest and winking at me between sips of his whiskey.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="line-height: 26px;">Oh God.</span></i><span style="line-height: 26px;"> My confidence began to falter.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The bar was chaos, with only two bartenders working, and they both struggled to keep up with their demand. Rhett moved more quickly than the girl working, but he worked the opposite end from where I sat and had yet to even glance in my direction. I realized I was crazy-pants for thinking I could just walk over here and he'd suddenly see me, remember me, and we'd have some magical repeat moment of the one we had shared years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yeah, not happening.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another woman already had Rhett’s undivided attention. Brunette. Older than me. Ruby red lips with a leopard print bikini on under a sheer cover up. She was, without a doubt, a sure thing. Between every drink he poured, he'd return to her for a brief moment of flirting. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but the chemistry between them was enough to let me know that I had a better chance at winning the lottery tonight than ending up in his bed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“What can I get ya, babe? Piña Coladas are on special tonight—three dollars.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It took me a moment to realize someone was speaking to me. I had Rhett blinders on and had completely missed the woman bartender who waited impatiently for me to acknowledge her. My eyes focused on her name tag—Luce. When I finally realized how incredibly rude I was being, she had already started walking away from me, shaking her head and huffing under her breath.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Rhett," she hollered, as she motioned towards me. “Your customer.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<i><span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh shit!<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">At her words, Rhett glanced over his shoulder in my direction. He looked right through me as he called out, “One moment,” before returning to his brunette.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wanted to run from the bar. My stomach felt queasy, and that vodka tonic threatened to come back up. “This was a stupid idea," I murmured to myself.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rhett took his sweet-ass time finishing his conversation with the brunette before making his way toward me. It took him so damn long that by the time he came for my drink order, I no longer felt quite so nervous.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><span style="line-height: 26px;">“</span></i><span style="line-height: 26px;">Hello there, princess. What can I get for you?" he asked, smiling and cocking an eyebrow at me, charm oozing out of him. “Piña Coladas are on special tonight,” he told me, rubbing a hand over his closely shaved head and speaking fast. It was clear, even if he did it with a smile on his face, he was trying to hurry me into making a decision. “You look like a Piña Colada kind of girl. How ‘bout I get you one of those?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He had a very nice smile, which he clearly used to his advantage. He did, after all, work for tips. But whether his charm and that smile were real or fake, they pissed me off. I was too much of a cynic, something I knew I’d picked up by being raised by my very straight-forward, realist of a brother, to put up with his bullshit.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“What the hell?” I snapped, my frustrations pouring out of me. “Do you all have a giant premade batch of Piña Colada that you need to sell before the end of the night? Because I happen to hate coconut.” <i>I didn’t actually hate coconut. </i>“Fifty percent of people hate coconut.” <i>I made up that statistic.</i> “If you’re going to offer something that half the population hates, you should at least have a second drink option on special as an alternative, otherwise you’re discriminating. Besides, do I look twenty-one? I’m eighteen—learn how to card.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Shit. You’re a cop.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“No, I’m not a cop. I don’t even want a drink.” I started rummaging around in my purse for nothing in particular because I needed something to do with my hands. I was beyond annoyed and, frankly, a little hurt. “Can we pretend this conversation never happened? I would much rather keep my glorified memories intact. And—”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I stopped talking and digging when his fingers gently touched the underside of my chin. Swallowing, I looked up from my bag. <i>Why the hell was he touching me?</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I know you," he whispered, the color draining from his face.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"No you don't," I said pulling away from his touch and standing from my seat.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Yes, I do. You've changed, but those green eyes I haven’t forgotten.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Everything slowed down. I stood there with my bag slung over my shoulder and my feet frozen to the floor. The noise of the chaotic bar faded into the background. He stared at me, and I stared at him. He recognized me, and with that recognition his whole demeanor changed. Sincerity, I suppose, was the difference I suddenly saw in him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“You came back," he said after a moment, smiling.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span>
<br>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 19.799999237060547px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This smile, I could tell, was genuine.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: blue;">1. What made you want to become a writer?</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #500050;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #500050;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Twilight. Something about Twilight inspired me. It got me into reading again and it made me want to try to write. I know there are a lot of Twilight haters out there, but the simple romance of Bella and Edward had a big impact on me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: blue;">2. What is your favorite/least favorite part about writing?</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #500050;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #500050;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Favorite part: When the words are flowing and I'm in a writing groove.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #500050;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Least favorite part: When I get stuck. It happens from time to time, when I can't decide which direction to take my story. I'll stress and write/rewrite, having the hardest time getting past a certain scene. I always make it past those parts, I just hate the time I waste getting through them. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First, I come up with a basic concept. Then I come up with the characters. From there I just start writing. I'll always have a general idea of how a book will end and some key scenes playing in my mind, but other than that I don't plan ahead. It's better (for me) to let my characters surprise me and drive the story.</span></div>

REVIEW<br>
5 stars<br>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><em style="color: #181818;">I received an ARC copy of this book from the author, in exchange for an honest review.</em><br style="color: #181818;"><br style="color: #181818;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">From book one, this is the guy I've been waiting to see! I love him so much, and from book one I needed Rhett, Rhett, Rhett. He's the manwhore (or man-child) of the series and believe me the wait was very much worth it. Rhett is introduced to Sydney when she was sixteen, and he was about twenty. The real story picks up about three or four years after their first meeting.</span><br style="color: #181818;"><br style="color: #181818;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">Sydney was a character I really enjoyed reading about and finding out about her past, </span><em style="color: #181818;">but</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;"> unfortunately she got under my skin maybe once or twice. Only because she kept saying she loved Ben so much, but she honestly hardly knew the guy. Now, this is more or so explained in the ending and it doesn't bother me so much anymore because of the explanation.</span><br style="color: #181818;"><br style="color: #181818;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">I fell in love and under this books spell the minute I picked it up. When I was reading it, time wasn't a thing. It was just Rhett and Sydney. Little did I realize that I'd stayed up unbelievably late reading. Thank goodness it's summer! If you asked me before I read this book my book boyfriends it'd be racking my brain, but now if you asked me Rhett would probably be one of the first names out of my mouth.</span><br style="color: #181818;"><br style="color: #181818;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">The story was fun because it was going on at the same time as book one and two. It filled in all the blanks from book one and two and when the book was done, I was satisfied. And also sad that it was over. The romance was basically one of my all time favourites. I can't even think of a flaw from the book (other then spelling, which is expected from self-publish).</span><br style="color: #181818;"><br style="color: #181818;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">If you love romance, please do yourself a favour and start this series.</span></span></div>

He is seriously hot, with legit bedroom eyes and that firefighter body of his, but he’s a major player, and they can’t get along for more than a handful of minutes.

He wants her. Now. Tomorrow. But the more he gets to know her, the more it becomes obvious that Andrea has a problem. She’s teetering on the edge and every time he tries to catch her, she slips through his fingers.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Andrea’s life is spiraling out of control, and it doesn’t matter that Tanner wants to save her, because when everything falls apart and she’s speeding toward rock bottom, only she can save herself.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Sometimes life makes you work for that happily ever after…</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">I honestly can't say that I quite tell you how I felt about this book. First off, I </span><em style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">thought</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">that I liked Tanner better, I really did. I mean, he's attractive and is a fireman. But then every single time I heard </span><strong style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Kyler</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;"> I just wished I was reading about him. However, I feel that I did enjoy this book better then Frigid because of the content. It felt more real life, more relatable. It dealt with real life problems, such as drinking and driving, and anxiety. But why did Tanner and Andrea have to be all good together, you know going at it in a freaking pool, and then all of a sudden being chumps sitting across the room from one another. It was annoying.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><img class="escapedImg" src="https://d.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1423051922ra/13581637.gif" style="border: 0px; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; max-width: 430px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">And don't even get me started on Andrea. I loved the parts of her that made her real, relatable. She was worried about her weight and wasn't 90 pounds! She was actually large which is much better then hearing about skinny girls "problems" of being "fat".</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><img class="escapedImg" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1438059490r/15660829._SX540_.gif" style="border: 0px; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; max-width: 430px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">But come on! Girls, girls, girls! Stop over analyzing everything! Andrea would take one thing Tanner said and analyze and analyze until it was rubbed raw and I just grew bored.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><img class="escapedImg" src="https://d.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1438059490ra/15660830.gif" style="border: 0px; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; max-width: 430px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Like I said, I did enjoy this more then Frigid because of it's more realistic touch, but I was disappointed. It fell flat to my expectations and unfortunately I over-hyped the book before release.</span></span></div>

And he seems to find it with the hot girl who lives next door. The attraction between them is instant. Electric. Soon they’re spending every stolen minute together. Talk about the perfect summer fling…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Lucy isn’t what she seems. She doesn’t live next door—she’s the girl who’s been hired to house sit for the summer while the family goes on a worldwide vacation. If Gabe wants to believe she’s a spoiled rich girl looking for some fun, she can go along with that. After the summer, she’ll never see him again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He slips his hands beneath my dress as he continues to kiss me and skims his fingers along my thighs. I wrap my arms around his neck and hold him close, never wanting to let him go. He’s so strong, his body so hard and firm and muscular. I reach between us to finish unbuttoning his shirt, my fingers making quick work of the buttons until it falls open and I can touch his hot, smooth skin. I trace my fingers over his flat stomach, letting them drift down to the waistband of his pants.<br /><br />I’m not feeling bold enough just yet to undo those pants though. I don’t want to rush this.<br /><br />He runs his fingers up and down along the sides of my outer thighs and a shiver steals through me. His hands curve around, touching my ass and they grow still. I’m guessing he’s figured out I don’t have any underwear on. I break the kiss to stare up at him.<br /><br />His eyes have a dark gleam to them and his smile is nothing short of gigantic. “You’re a bad, naughty girl, Luce.”<br /><br />“I am? Why?” I ask innocently, even batting my eyelashes at him for good measure.<br /><br />“You know why.” He shoves the skirt of my dress up to my hips, exposing me completely and he sucks in a harsh breath. “Look at you,” he says reverently, his gaze locked on the spot between my thighs.<br /><br />The perv.<br /><br />But hey, at least he’s my perv. For tonight.<br /><br />A tiny part of me wishes I could keep him for all my nights.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

DARK (Book 2) August 25, 2015</span></b><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FFFFFE;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Stuck
spending the summer with his screwed up family, Gabriel Walker is bored out of
his mind and looking for an adventure. And he seems to find it with the hot
girl who lives next door. The attraction between them is instant. Electric.
Soon they’re spending every stolen minute together. Talk about the perfect
summer fling…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FFFFFE;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lucy
isn’t what she seems. She doesn’t live next door—she’s the girl who’s been
hired to house sit for the summer while the family goes on a worldwide
vacation. If Gabe wants to believe she’s a spoiled rich girl looking for some
fun, she can go along with that. After the summer, she’ll never see him again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FFFFFE;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: #FFFFFE;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They
don’t count on running into each other at college. Now Lucy must keep up the
pretense of being a rich girl—and it’s exhausting. She knows she’s falling in
love with Gabe and she’s scared he feels the same. Will he still care about her
when he discovers the truth?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He slips
his hands beneath my dress as he continues to kiss me and skims his fingers
along my thighs. I wrap my arms around his neck and hold him close, never
wanting to let him go. He’s so strong, his body so hard and firm and muscular.
I reach between us to finish unbuttoning his shirt, my fingers making quick
work of the buttons until it falls open and I can touch his hot, smooth skin. I
trace my fingers over his flat stomach, letting them drift down to the
waistband of his pants.<br>
<br>
I’m not feeling bold enough just yet to undo those pants though. I don’t want
to rush this.<br>
<br>
He runs his fingers up and down along the sides of my outer thighs and a shiver
steals through me. His hands curve around, touching my ass and they grow still.
I’m guessing he’s figured out I don’t have any underwear on. I break the kiss
to stare up at him.<br>
<br>
His eyes have a dark gleam to them and his smile is nothing short of gigantic.
“You’re a bad, naughty girl, Luce.”<br>
<br>
“I am? Why?” I ask innocently, even batting my eyelashes at him for good
measure.<br>
<br>
“You know why.” He shoves the skirt of my dress up to my hips, exposing me
completely and he sucks in a harsh breath. “Look at you,” he says reverently,
his gaze locked on the spot between my thighs.<br>
<br>
The perv.<br>
<br>
But hey, at least he’s my perv. For tonight.<br>
<br>
A tiny part of me wishes I could keep him for all my nights.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Alexa
Clausen has never fallen. She’s never soared. She’s lived her entire life floating
midway between passion and despondency, never experiencing those extremes. But
all it takes is one evening with Adam Westbrook to draw her out of her shell,
to leave her feeling bold for the first time ever. He is fiery and magnetic. He
is gravitational, that inescapable pull no one can avoid. After a few chance
encounters, Alexa finally accepts that she can’t stay away, can’t deny the
electricity she feels every time he comes around.<br />
<br />
But as the intensity between them deepens, she also can’t avoid the subtle
hints that Adam is hiding something. His wide smile and radiant eyes obscure
some burning secret, some detail of his past that resurfaces to steal his joy.
The farther Alexa falls, the more she realizes just how little she really knows
about Adam and how far he is willing to go to cover up the truth.<br />
<br />
Calm Like Home is a story about love and longing, growth and stagnation,
discovering one’s counterpart but losing oneself, and ultimately finding that
one person truly has the power to change everything.</span><span style="font-family: Baskerville Old Face, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The
early hostess ends up running late so I’m covering the host stand when Damien
strolls in through the door. Even in his work uniform, he looks every bit the
confident frat boy. He has one hand casually tucked in his pants pocket, the
other swinging languidly at his side. His tie is loose at his throat, his light
brown hair tousled on his head, lips curled into a relaxed don’t-give-a-fuck
smile. He nods towards me at the host stand then saunters towards the back,
likely in search of some new prey to poke fun of. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And
then there’s Adam, his dark head poking through the doorway. Suddenly the room
is filled with him, with his energy, with his light. I drink him in, soaking in
every detail. His crisp, white dress shirt fits him perfectly, lightly skimming
over the muscles in his chest and arms and tapering where his waist narrows.
The lightness of the shirt is the perfect contrast to his tan skin, to his dark
eyes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">His
gaze slowly sweeps from the floor to my face, and if seeing the four letters of
his name earlier was enough to give me butterflies, seeing him now is like
being hit by a freight train. It’s been three hundred days and yet everything
slams back into me at once. The way his brown eyes sparkle when he smiles, how
one corner of his mouth turns up a little higher than the other. And this smile
is all for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">His
stride quickens as he approaches and I can’t help myself. My face breaks into
an obvious grin, completely full-toothed and pinched-cheeked. So much for
playing it cool. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Look
who’s back!” I call out, hearing my voice light up. Being around him instantly
lifts me. This is what he does to people; it’s what he’s always done to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In case you're unaware, this book is ABOUT RHETT! My favourite character in this entire series (so far...)!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">SYNOPSIS</span><br />

The guy drank beer in the shower, for crying out loud. He had no prospects for the future, had slept with half the women in our beach town of Kill Devil Hills, and had no desire to change his manwhore ways.</span><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span style="line-height: 23.9999389648438px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"></span><span style="line-height: 23.9999389648438px;">And when Ben Turner, the guy I had loved from afar for the past four years, died and I couldn't get over his death, I desperately needed a distraction. A distraction like Rhett. So I used him for a one-night stand. Because, after all, that's the only thing a guy like Rhett is good for...right?</span><br style="line-height: 20px;" /><span style="line-height: 23.9999389648438px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"></span><span style="line-height: 23.9999389648438px;">***New Adult Romance.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A guy of her own? She’s not holding her breath—until he steals it away.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Vegas Nights, Book 3</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Natalie’s girls-only weekend in Vegas is shot to hell, thanks to her friends </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ditching her for very sexy, very famous guys. Not that she blames them. She </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">knows what lonely feels like. A nurse’s long hours leave little time for a social </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then she collides with and spills her drink all over a very fine, very exposed </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">male chest. A chest belonging to Noah Wilde, lead singer for the infamous </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Wilde & Wicked rock band. Thankfully, he’s merely amused as she tries to </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">take care of the mess she made.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Noah sure would like to make a mess of the gorgeous, petite lady with </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">luminous blue eyes. There’s no resisting the urge to tempt her along for an </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">adventurous night of gambling, drinking, eating, and sin.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But during the harsh light of day, Noah has a change of heart. Not about the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">fact he likes Natalie—a lot. He’s not sure he wants to drag this sweet lady </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">through his sordid life. Even though sparing her could cost them both a chance </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">at forever.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Warning: Contains a nurse who thought she knew all there was to know about </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">anatomy, and a rock god who’s about to show her a few spots she missed. To </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">say they both hit the jackpot would be an understatement.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Premier business consultant Simon West can turn around any struggling billion dollar corporation in New York City, but he can’t get what he wants most: revenge against Mark DuFord. The slick investment banker's shady dealing led to Simon’s best friend’s suicide. Wealthy, and well-protected by the political influence he’s been able to purchase, DuFord has become untouchable—or so he thinks. But when DuFord’s former girlfriend asks Simon for help, he knows that Grace Bell is the weapon he needs to finally destroy his enemy completely. All Simon has to do is pretend to love her. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Grace Bell knows that approaching hot-shot Simon West to save her business is a long shot, but she’s desperate. After growing up with a family that expected her to be a happy housewife, she’d proved them all wrong when she became the go-to event-coordinator in New York City. But after the tabloids took a completely innocent picture of her with a married senator and misinterpreted the situation, she’s losing clients left and right. When she approaches Simon and begs for his help to resuscitate the business she put her heart and soul into, she never expects him to agree. Or that the payment would be posing as his lover as an excuse to get close to her ex. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Simon knows if he goes forward with his plan, it's only a matter of time before Mark realizes what they're up to and Mark’s enemies have a way ending up broke, in jail or six feet under. As Simon and Grace grow closer, Simon must decide if putting her in the line of fire is worth avenging the past.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Q – What makes Simon and Grace different from the other couples in the Billionaires In The City series? </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">A – As I’ve said in the past, my I adore the power struggles between April and Sam from Teaching the Boss. She starts out below him and through the story, their roles shift. With Simon and Grace, they both start out on pretty equal footing. She doesn’t have his kind of money, but they’re both successful entrepreneurs who aren’t used to asking for help. So when they both have to depend on one another, the results are electric! </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Q - Why should readers give these books a try? </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">A – All I can say is that I LOVED writing them and I think readers will really be drawn into the characters. I adore putting two strong leads into tough situations and seeing them work together to grow. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">For this second book in the series, I took an obsessed billionaire and a savy business owner and made sure they both needed each other to reach their goals. To make it even more fun, I added in a major revenge plot and a trip to the Hamptons! </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Q – Why did you choose to set the Billionaires In The City books New York City? </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">A – Because it’s the city of endless possibilities! There are so many fantastic different settings to play with, between the Upper East Side, Soho, Brooklyn and Queens. They’re all so close together and each have distinct personalities that can fit the characters perfectly. But, as much as I love NYC, I’d love to branch out in the future, so I made sure I didn’t name the city in the subtitle.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="freeTextreview1293143965" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;"><em>I received a copy from the publisher, via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.</em><br /><br />I read the second in the series almost immediately after finishing the first and I enjoyed it significantly more. Although I liked Simon more then Sam, Grace got on my nerves a couple times. Also, the writing was hard to understand at times because the author would switch from one character to the other's point of view. It wasn't in the first person but it still was difficult to understand and I found myself having to read over a page more then once to understand whom the author was referring.<br /><br />Grace was the heroine and she had her company going into the ground because of some sleaze senator. I was slightly annoyed at Grace's reaction to it all when it went down, but was happy to see her go after Simon for help. I enjoyed seeing Grace and Simon's relationship grow and become something more. Although I feel their relationship could use a little more build to it, I liked how they cared for one another.<br /><br />Simon's character I really liked in the beginning, however near the end, he got on my nerves a little because he cared so much for Grace that it felt a little fake.<br /><br />Like I said, I enjoyed the second much better then the first and if your debating whether or not to read the second, give it a shot.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><em style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.</em><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">This was something else. I've never read a book with parallel universes, and the only movie I've seen with parallel universes is Sliding Doors. But this book was a good one. I've never read a book by this author before, but I really enjoyed it and plan on keeping an eye on Ms. Taylor Jenkins Reid because I loved it. I will admit I was slightly disappointed at the ending because of the similarities that I feel may of been much different, but nonetheless, I enjoyed it </span><em style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">enough</em><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I really enjoyed the concepts of one life and another. It's so interesting to read and really see it unravel because it's different from watching it on TV. In books you can really feel the emotion and heartbreak that the character is feeling because of their single choice. In this book, it was either go home with Gabby or Ethan. Each led to a different life.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Hannah was one of my favourite character's to read in a book. And the sole reason for that is because she represents so many people out there. Unknowing of what they want to do, unknowing if their life really will be okay. Hannah didn't know, and at twenty nine, everyone thinks she has herself together. In reality, she's a mess jumping from state to state, and I really liked that. Even though the protagonist was on the older side from what I usually read, I still really enjoyed her because she was still self-discovering.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I liked that the author didn't make the two different suitors in Hannah's life the same, or one-dimensional. She made them each different and like-able and it really is hard for the reader to just say they like one or the other.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">I really enjoy the author's writing style; it's very compelling and even when my eyes were sore and I was exhausted, I couldn't put down the book. Even when I did, I was thinking about it. It was, and will always be, an unforgettable read.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Book 1 in the "Billionaires in the City" series</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Business-school student April Morgan is ready to graduate--from school, from the secretary pool, and from never-gonna-happen fantasies involving Sam Hunt, her hunky billionaire boss. But when Sam’s girlfriend of the week pushes her too far, April finds herself quitting on the spot with only a mountain of student loan debt to keep her company. In steps Sam’s worst enemy, his father, with a job offer she can't refuse. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Sam was born into privilege, but refused to live life with a silver spoon in his mouth. After a decade of hard work, he’s on the verge of taking his business public and proving to his tyrannical family that he can make it without their help. When he finds out that April is working for his father, he knows she’s been turned into a pawn in his father’s twisted games. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Despite Sam’s warnings, April is determined to prove she doesn’t need him to make in New York City. But when she finds documents that could lead to Sam losing everything he’s worked for, April realizes that she and Sam have to work together to save the empire they’ve both worked to build.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Mallory Crowe</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Q – What inspired you to write April and Sam’s story? </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">A – When I first thought of April and Sam, I was working crazy long hours at the time and (strangely enough) a slowed down cover of a rap song made me think of an overworked assistant who starts out totally in love with her Tycoon boss and, by the end of the song, she’s disillusioned by the lifestyle and is ready to branch out on her own. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Teaching The Boss starts after this music video I made in my mind. April is just coming into her own and Sam doesn’t really realize how much he needs her until she is gone. And then the billionaire has to bargain to get her back. The shifting power play between the two was a blast to write! </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Q - Why should readers give these books a try? </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">A – All I can say is that I LOVED writing them and I think readers will really be drawn into the characters. I adore putting two strong leads into tough situations and seeing them work together to grow. For this first book in the series, I took the quintessential office romance, an untamed billionaire and a sexy secretary, and then completely shook up the power structure between the two and saw how they reacted. Throw in a few secrets and revenge plots and the result is explosive…. </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">Q – Why did you choose to set the Billionaires In The City books New York City? </span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">A – Because it’s the city of endless possibilities! There are so many different fantastic settings to play with, between the Upper East Side, Soho, Brooklyn and Queens. They’re all so close together and each have distinct personalities that can fit the characters perfectly. But, as much as I love NYC, I’m planning to branch out in the future, so I made sure I didn’t name the city in the subtitle. In book two, the Simon and Grace even take a trip to the Hamptons where they can get into even more trouble! </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><em style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review through Netgalley.</em><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">I became interested in this book through the intriguing cover. It wasn't a bad read, the author did a decent enough job to keep the reader interested. However, I felt the book was lacking something about half way through. From then on, the book wasn't as interesting.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">I liked the characters, and enjoyed the banter between Sam and April. I did get really annoyed by how they went from happy couple to hating each other and breaking up. I get very frustrated when authors make the characters break up because it feels as if they need some sort of drama in the book.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">I often got confused on whose point of view it was because there was no indication, no big name highlighted at the top of the chapter. Just when I thought the chapters went back and forth between the characters, two chapters would be from the same characters, or half way through a chapter it would switch point of view.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px;">I really enjoyed the ending, April's graduation. I can't say that it would happen in real life but it was be amazing if it did. The authors story was interesting enough and the book is short, making it a fast and easy read. I'm excited for the second book, being Simon's book, which is very exciting.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">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.</span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>And River isn't the kind of guy she'd want to catch.<br><br><b></b></span></span></div>

It was well thought out, definitely one of my all-time favourites from Abbi. To start off, I love cowboys. I've always had an undeniable thing for cowboys, no doubt, and when Abbi Glines's new book series had a cowboy, I just had to read it.</span><span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> </span></span></div>

Mase Colt-Manning. I mean, that double last name, I'm loving it. When Reese was first introduced in book 1, When I'm Gone, I knew immediately I'd love her character. After finishing When I'm Gone, I needed the next one and am very pleased with how things were resolved through the transition of book 1 to book 2. However, I must say that much is left to be desired, in a very good way. I really wish Mase and Reese had another book. They have been my favourite couple from Rosemary Beach to date.</span></span></div>

They were both incredibly frustrating, especially Aida, and I'm sure that's the purpose they were meant to serve. I actually really liked River, but not as someone interested in Reese. I just hope that he get's a book. Aida doesn't need a book because she was very rude to Reese near the end of the book. She was Mase's childhood friend/"cousin" and she thought she'd always have him and I'm glad that Mase didn't put up with her.</span></span></div>

He always called out everyone on the stupid things they did and I liked that. Just when I was really starting to like Major, there was a little hint going on. He was in Rosemary Beach by the end of the novel, instead of Texas. I have a very strong feeling he will end up with Nan, and I think that would be very sweet. She needs someone like him to keep her stable.</span></span></div>

Your choice, but I can promise you'll most likely love it if you've previously liked Abbi Glines, Colleen Hoover, or Jamie McGuire.</span></span></div>

An orphaned outsider, she is desperate to start fresh the moment she walks onto campus. In the time it takes to cross the university’s dining hall, she meets two men who bring color, air, and light to her darkened world.<br /><br /><i>They became my addiction, each a needle to my next hit, my high.</i><br /><br />Brock Cunningham’s appeal is dizzying, a potent force Amber can’t deny. A green-eyed smooth talker, he instantly attracts Amber. It doesn’t take long for him to consume her every thought, her every breath.<br /><br />Ryder Ashcroft, a blue-eyed, tattooed, and pierced bad boy, turns Amber off immediately—that is, until he kisses her, stealing a piece of her heart, her soul.<br /><br /><i>They were as opposite as fire and ice, yet I ached for them equally. </i><br /><br />Never knowing she could be broken down in so many unexpectedly beautiful yet petrifying ways, Amber finds herself falling for both men.<br /><br /><i>Immoral? Maybe. I say undeniable. Uncontained.</i><br /><br />But one devastating event changes everything, shattering each of their lives...and Amber isn’t sure she can recover from it.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reasons: I always go for the bad-boy first, the cocky SOB that I can't help but like. He is that cocky SOB and he makes jokes that I love. He's incredibly kind and sweet to Amber. However, Brock is still on the table for me; he could always make a comeback and be better in my books in the next one, yea?<br /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">How can I even begin to explain perfection? Before I really start getting in the details of it all, I've never read a Gail McHugh book in my life, not for a lack of trying that is. I've been trying very hard to read her book </span><em style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Collide</em><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> for a very long time and still haven't gotten around to it. However, I can promise my fellow readers that I will be reading it soon, because this book was a game-changer.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Gail McHugh; I can't describe to you how well she writes. It has an appeal to it that intrigues you and pulls you deep into the world she's created. The character of Amber to Ashes became a part of me as I was reading the book making me care deeply for each of them on a different level from some other authors I've read before this. To be honest, I didn't go into this book expecting greatness because I've never read a book by the author, but now I must say that I can't go into Collide with anything but very high standards!</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">This book was a love triangle and not like the YA love triangles were the author can sway her readers into liking one or the other better, I liked Brock and Ryder very equally. It was a very tough decision for me to make when I was trying to decide which I liked better and who I wanted Amber to end up with. Unfortunately, the author's amazing writing sucked me into deep, dark proportions that left me deprived by the ending. A cliff hanger at it's finest, I can't compare it to much other writing I've read.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">The characters weren't dry, they were new and very different from one another. As much as it was difficult to watch Amber switch from man-to-man, I can't say I'd do it much different. Both are equally swoon worthy with the ability to be a real man, instead of just physical. There were many supporting characters keeping the story from getting boring, I must say the author really planned out this novel better then expected.</span><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><br style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;" /><span style="color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">A dark, guttural and raw story, I can only say it gripped me from beginning to end, end to beginning. I was sucked into the worlds of three different people living through their own pain and finding comfort in one another. This book will forever be something to compare to other books.</span></span></div>

Please comment below if you've got any recommendations!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Right now I'm currently reading <i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Teaching the Boss</span></i> by Mallory Crowe, which I received through NetGalley. It is a series but can be read as a standalone!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm also reading <i><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Maybe In Another Life</span></i> by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I received it through the publisher, Washington Square Press. I love it so far, it's like Sliding Doors with Gwenyth Paltrow.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Blurb:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Lila and Austin
have known each other since she befriended his younger brother when she was a
toddler. In fact, since her parents moved from her hometown, Lila’s lived with
Austin’s family. The two are friends, though more of the teasing, taunting
breed than the BFF variety.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But all it takes

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For Austin, that
moment comes when Lila performs a rumba in the school’s auditorium to qualify
for the state dance competition, the young woman on stage so far-removed from
the little girl in his memories.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For Lila, the
moment is a reflected image of Austin preparing for prom, the guy standing in
front of his mirror hardly resembling the child that spent so much of his youth
pestering her.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Will they find a
way to admit to themselves and their families that their feelings are deeper
than friendship? And can Lila focus on this building relationship – and deal
with her unstable ex – and still win the dance contest?</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

EXCERPT</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I kind
of have a thing for this other girl.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She
smiles a bit. “Anyone I know?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Yeah,
you know her.” I lean closer to her, not moving my stare from her face. “She’s
beautiful, and smart, and funny, and quirky. The sad thing is, I didn’t notice
any of those things until about a week ago.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“What
happened a week ago?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Well,
she did this dance. One she hates, by the way.” I pause to let her laugh. “She
wore a blue dress, and her hair was flowing down her back. She was elegant, and
gorgeous, and I couldn’t look away.” Reaching out, I play with a strand of her
hair that’s fallen forward, one that’s dripping water from her shower. “And I
couldn’t push the attraction back. I tried, because it was so confusing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“You
see,” I continue, “I’ve known her since she was just a pesky girl who hung
around mostly for my kid brother, and being attracted to her took some getting
used to. But I had to deal with it, since I couldn’t look at her the way I used
to anymore. Once I saw her as the beautiful woman she’d grown into, I couldn’t
step back from that.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Austin—”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I put a
finger to her lips to stop her comments. I need to get all of this out. Now. “I
tried, Munchkin. I tried to keep myself from wanting you, but I can’t. I
figured that out at prom. You’re what I want, what I need, and the one girl I
have to be with. If you don’t want to be with me like that, I’ll take
friendship. I’ll take just about anything because you’re the one part of my
whole life I can’t let go of.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">She
reaches up so she can move my finger away from her mouth. “I wouldn’t have
kissed you if I didn’t want to be with you.”</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Relief
fills me, and I let out a long breath. “I was hoping you’d say that.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span lang="EN-US">Connie L. Smith spends far too much time
with her mind wandering in fictional places. She reads too much, likes to bake,
and might forever be sad that she doesn’t have fairy wings. And that she can’t
swing dance. Her music of choice is severely outdated, and as an adult she’s
kind of obsessed with Power Rangers. She has her BA from Northern Kentucky
University in Speech Communication and History (she doesn’t totally get the
connection either), and is currently working on her MA. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
