Loving Eden Playlist

Displaying LE_Release1.png


Loving Eden Playlist
In order to get back into Grey and Eden mode I listened to the original Kissing Eden playlist repeatedly until I was ready to start writing the sequel. Eden and Grey have moved on since spring break, but hey have new challenges facing them and I needed to add music to their soundtrack that reflected what’s happening with them now. It’s very heavy on country, but that’s fitting for Texas and especially for Grey. My all-time favorite song that’s on this list as well as the Kissing Eden playlist is Are You With Me by Easton Corbin. When I wrote the scene in Mexico this is what was playing—a true moment of vulnerability for Grey. I had to include it for Loving Eden.
I love the new playlist and hope you enjoy it too.

  All Things Pretty

Amazon ** Barnes & Noble ** iBooks ** Kobo

Excerpt: Her lips are still curved when she turns her attention back to me. Something about the moment hits me like a punch to the gut. I think for a second that I could stand here and stare at her, just enjoy her smile and her happiness for hours. Days, maybe. But I can’t. We can’t. So, instead, I brush a clump of mud from the end of her nose. “Have fun?” “I did. Thank you. This was so good for him.” “And you.” “And me,” she concedes. “You can be the real you around me anytime. I won’t tell a soul.” “So you prefer this?” “Oh, hell yeah! I don’t need glamorous. Or proper.” “I’m not proper.” “You forget that I heard your…expressiveness that day on the side of the road. And it didn’t consist of ‘darn’ or ‘golly gee’. But I haven’t heard anything like that come out of your mouth since then.” “Ladies aren’t supposed to talk that way, according to Lance.” “I don’t want a lady. I want a woman. One who knows her own mind. One who wears what she’s comfortable in, one who says what she’s thinking.” I take a step closer. I can’t help myself. Her scent draws me in. Even covered in mud, she smells like sexy sunshine. “I want the woman who kisses like she’s on fire and makes me feel like I’m the only one who can put her out.” “Sig,” she begins. I break in to cut her off. I know her objections. And I know how much I don’t want to hear them. “I’m just being honest. I’m not even touching you.” Her eyes are glued to mine, a damn near irresistible gravity pulling us together. “It’s not like you can anyway. I mean, we’re in public. With my little brother. What could you possibly touch?” I reach down and smear my hand in mud. With her eyes locked on mine, I reach between us and flatten my palm on her chest, right over her heart. “This. I’d touch this.” ALL THINGS PRETTY Synopsis: Pretending to be something they’re not, afraid to trust anyone completely, destined to tear each other apart– this is the story of unlikely love and unbearable consequences. Sig Locke is a cop. He was raised by a cop and all his brothers are cops. He bleeds blue, believes in right and wrong, and sees in black and white, never in shades of gray. But that was before he met Tommi. Tommi, with her long legs and bright green eyes, she captured Sig’s interest from the moment he saw her. Even after he discovered who she was–the girlfriend of a drug dealer, the beauty behind a criminal–he still found her utterly irresistible. What Sig doesn’t know, however, is that she has a secret even a cop can’t uncover. Tommi Lawrence hasn’t had an easy life, and it only got more complicated the day she met Sig. She learned long ago that she can’t trust anyone. Her gut tells her that Sig is no exception, her heart tells her that he is. But that was before she found out his real identity. Can love be forged in a fire of lies? Or will the truth destroy them both? Author PhotoM. Leighton Bio:

"No, you didn’t," I agree. A fact that I’m painfully aware of. 

"Are you still intact?" he asks, his tone raspy and deep.

A warm current zips through me, flushing my cheeks and soaking my panties. "Of c-course." My voice is hoarse and Colton’s dark eyes roaming on mine make it impossible to speak clearly. 

I see the vein throb at the base of his throat. "Good girl," he admonishes.

Stepbrother Dearest

By Penelope Ward

Release Date: September 29, 2014

 

Book Summary:

 

You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you.

 

When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be.

 

I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here.

I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room.

But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him.

 

At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. Then, things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night.

 

Just as quickly as he’d come into my life, he was gone back to California.

 

It had been years since I’d seen Elec.

 

When tragedy struck our family, I’d have to face him again.

 

And holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane.

 

I had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again.

 

Stepbrother Dearest is a standalone novel.

 

**Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. It is only appropriate for adult readers age 18+

Apolonia by Jamie McGuire


 
4 Stars

Apolonia is a new action packed paranormal romance by Jamie McGuire. I was super excited when I received an arc copy of Apolonia that I had to start it right away.  From page one I wasn’t able to put it down.  At first I had to keep reading to figure out what the heck was going on because I felt so lost, but after a few chapters things started to click in my head and then I just had to keep reading to know what was going to happen next.  There was nothing slow or boring about Apolonia, the story moves along at a steady pace and the characters draw you in.

I don’t really want to say much about the story itself because I want everyone to discover what the story is really about while they read Apolonia like I did.  What I will say is that Apolonia is told from the point of view of strong, independent, college student Rory Riordan.  Rory trust no one and doesn’t want to trust anyone, she prefers to be by herself.  The only person close to her is Dr. Z, college professor and old family friend she helps assists. Then there is Benji, he follows Rory around like a lost puppy, not carry that was won’t give him the time of day. When new student Cyrus or Cy shows up in Dr. Z class trying to also be his assistant, Rory is anything but happy about it.  Events start to unfold intertwining the four into some pretty crazy events.

I loved Rory, she was ballsy, strong and she could definitely take care of herself, just like a lot of Jamie’s leading ladies. Events in her past formed the person Rory was today and because of that I couldn’t blame her for not wanting to trust anyone.  Then there was Benji, I swooned over him right away. He was so sweet, funny and very insistent.  He could care less how rude or how much Rory pushed him away, he would do anything to just be around here.

Jamie McGuire is probably best known for her New Adult genre of books, but she is still just as good of a writer when it comes to paranormal/fantasy. Just like her other books she does a good job getting the reader's attention and keeping it with strong characters and creative writing.  I think people are really going to like the new fresh story from Jamie McGuire. I can’t wait everyone else to experience Apolonia and enjoy it as much as I did.

Loving Eden by T.A. Foster

Loving Eden
 
3 Stars
Loving Eden was a good ending to Kissing Eden and Grey and Eden’s story.  I liked but didn’t love it as much as I did Kissing Eden.  There was that spark of first love in Kissing Eden that I really liked that Loving Eden didn’t have. Even with that being said I still liked Loving Eden and was very happy that we get to see were Eden, and Grey’s relationship has gone and I was really happy where it concluded. 

Loving Eden picks up a few months after were Kissing Eden ended.  Eden has packed up her life in North Carolina and is moving to South Padre, TX. Starting a new life in South Padre is going to come with a lot of surprises for Eden and Grey.  Living together, keeping the Palms hotel running and an unexpected stranger will keep them on their toes.

This is a must read for anyone who has read and loved Kissing Eden.

Kssing Eden by T.A. Foster

Kissing Eden


4.5 Stars


Kissing Eden was a fun romance read.  I really enjoyed it.  I had received Loving Eden to read as an ARC, when I realized that was the sequel to Kissing Eden I figured I better read that first. 

Eden Brady has just been dumped by her boyfriend right before their planned spring break trip. Instead of staying home alone, Eden decides to take her spring trip by herself.  Once Eden arrives in South Padre, TX, her trip is off to a rocky start, with no luggage, no place to stay and no friends. Checking into the only hotel with available rooms Eden meets Grey.  He’s moody, stand-offish and hot!!!  The attrition between the two was very strong and pretty steamy.

I really liked Eden, she was a strong character.  She took everything that came here way good or bad in stride and made the most out of her situation.  I don’t think I would be able to go on spring break by myself like she did; traveling alone would make me go crazy.

I’m very much looking forward to starting Loving Eden and continuing Eden and Grey story.  Kissing Eden is a fast, fun romance that would make a great beach read.

Add INSPIRE on Goodreads

About INSPIRE: Kalliope lives with one purpose. To inspire. As an immortal muse, she doesn’t have any other choice. It’s part of how she was made. Musicians, artists, actors—they use her to advance their art, and she uses them to survive. She moves from one artist to the next, never staying long enough to get attached. But all she wants is a different life— a normal one. She’s spent thousands of years living lie after lie, and now she’s ready for something real. Sweet, sexy, and steady, Wilder Bell feels more real than anything else in her long existence. And most importantly… he’s not an artist. He doesn’t want her for her ability. But she can’t turn off the way she influences people, not even to save a man she might love. Because in small doses, she can help make something beautiful, but her ability has just as much capacity to destroy as it does to create. The longer she stays, the more obsessed Wilder will become. It’s happened before, and it never turns out well for the mortal. Her presence may inspire genius. But it breeds madness, too.     HeadshotAbout Cora Carmack: Cora Carmack is a twenty-something writer who likes to write about twenty-something characters. She's done a multitude of things in her life-- boring jobs (like working retail), Fun jobs (like working in a theatre), stressful jobs (like teaching), and dream jobs (like writing). She enjoys placing her characters in the most awkward situations possible, and then trying to help them get a boyfriend out of it. Awkward people need love, too. Her first book, LOSING IT, was a New York Times and USA Today bestseller.

Out today ~ Stay With Me by Jennifer L. Armentrout

SWM RDL Banner  

We are so pleased to bring you the Release Day Launch for Jennifer L. Armentrout's STAY WITH ME! STAY WITH ME is a New Adult contemporary romance being published by Avon (William Morrow), an imprint of HarperCollins, and is a part of Jennifer’s With You Saga!

  Stay With Me Cover

Amazon ** Barnes and Noble ** iTunes ** Kobo ** GooglePlay

STAY WITH ME TRAILER: EXCERPT: As I lay there, trying to swallow a loud, obnoxious yawn, I remembered something he’d said when we first met, about life being too short. I imagined he had firsthand experience with shortened lives while he was serving. That mentality came from experience. I got that now. Could even understand it, but there was something I didn’t understand. “Why?” I asked. There was a beat. “Why what?” Jax sounded tired, and I should shut up or point out that I was now tired and could sleep, so he could leave. But I didn’t. “Why are you here? You don’t know me and . . .” I trailed off, because there really wasn’t anything left to say. A minute went by, and he hadn’t answered my question, and then I think another minute ticked on, and I was okay with him not answering because maybe he didn’t even know. Or maybe he was just bored and that was why he was here. But then he moved. Jax pressed against my back, and the next breath I took got stuck in my throat. My eyes shot open. The sheet and blanket were between us, but they felt like nothing. “What are you doing?” I asked. “Getting comfortable.” He dropped an arm over my waist, and my entire body jerked against his. “It’s time to sleep I think.” “But—” “You can’t sleep when you talk,” he remarked. “You don’t need to be all up on me,” I pointed out. His answering chuckle stirred the hair along the back of my neck. “Honey, I’m not all up on you.” I freaking begged to differ on that point. I started to wiggle away, but the arm around my waist tightened, holding me in place. “You’re not going anywhere,” he announced casually, as if he wasn’t holding me prisoner in the bed. Okay. The whole prisoner thing might be melodramatic, but he wasn’t letting me up. Not when he was getting all kinds of comfy behind me. Oh my God, this was spooning. Total spooning. I was spooning with an honorary member of the Hot Guy Brigade. Did I wake up in a parallel universe? “Sleep,” he demanded, as if the one word carried that much power. “Go to sleep, Calla.” This time his voice was softer, quieter. “Yeah, it doesn’t work that way, Jax. You have a nice voice, but it doesn’t hold the power to make me sleep on your command.” He chuckled. I rolled my eyes, but the most ridiculous thing ever was the fact that after a couple of minutes, my eyes stayed shut. I . . . I actually settled in against him. With his front pressed to my back, his long legs cradling mine, and his arm snug around my waist, I actually did feel safe. More than that, I felt something else—something I hadn’t felt in years. I felt cared for . . . cherished. Which was the epitome of dumb, because I barely knew him, but feeling that, recognizing what the warm, buzzing feeling was, I fell right asleep.   Stay With Me Teaser 2     STAY WITH ME Synopsis: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You and Be with Me comes a daring tale that pushes boundaries . . . At 21, Calla hasn't done a lot of things. She’s never been kissed, never seen the ocean, never gone to an amusement park. But growing up, she witnessed some things no child ever should. She still carries the physical and emotional scars of living with a strung-out mother, Mona—secrets she keeps from everyone, including her close circle of college friends. But the safe cocoon Calla has carefully built is shattered when she discovers her mom has stolen her college money and run up a huge credit card debt in her name. Now, Calla has to go back to the small town she thought she’d left behind and clean up her mom’s mess again. Of course, when she arrives at her mother’s bar, Mona is nowhere to be found. Instead, six feet of hotness named Jackson James is pouring drinks and keeping the place humming. Sexy and intense, Jaxis in Calla’s business from the moment they meet, giving her a job and helping her search for Mona. And the way he looks at her makes it clear he wants to get horizontal . . . and maybe something more. Before Calla can let him get close, though, she’s got to deal with the pain of the past—and some very bad guys out to mess her up if she doesn't give them her mom.   Stay With Me Teaser 1   Author PhotoJennifer L.

Uncivilized by Sawyer Bennett

Uncivilized


5 HOT HOT STARS!

Uncivilized was melt your panties HOT!!!!  I’m talking need a fan nearby kind of hot.  I loved every minute of Uncivilized, I didn’t want to put it down or end.   I fell in love with the story, the writing and most important Zach. 

When Zach was a child he traveled with his missionary parents to the Amazon rainforest.  There they lived among an Indian tribe. When Zach’s parents die the tribe elder takes Zach in and raises him as his son.  Now a man, Zach loves his life in the Amazon, he loves his adopted father, there is no other place he’d rather be.  When anthropologist Dr. Moira Reed arrives in his village to bring Zach back to the States, he refuses. Zach’s adopted father insists that he goes with her and gives it a chance.  He wants Zach to have a chance to have a better life and a chance to get to know his godfather who has been looking for him for years. 


Moira was hired by Zach’s godfather to find Zach, bring him back to the States and help him adjust to the modern world.  Zach does nothing but fight Moira from the moment they leave his village. When Zach and Moira return to her home in Chicago, Zach is unwilling to conform to social normal such as wearing clothes around the house, using utensils to eat with. Even though Zach is really unhappy about being taken from his home, he is very curious and willing to learning about the modern world, especially about sex. Zach doesn’t like Moira but he is definitely attracted to her.  He wants nothing more than to have her submit to him.  Moira is also very attracted to him, but knows she can’t cross that professional line but Zach’s won’t give up until he gets what he wants.

Gosh, I loved Zach!!!  He was a total alpha male, bossy, demanding and the man has an insatiable appetite for sex. I would never be able to say no to him. In his tribe sex is not a big deal; it’s a way for the men to find a release.  Zach is used to women submitting to him, when Moira doesn’t submit, he accepts that as a challenge to get her too. Besides being an alpha male there were other sides to Zach that came out slowly as the book went along, a caring side and a vulnerable side.  Learning to care and be cared for opened Zach up to being more vulnerable, which was all new to him.  I swooned over this side of him. 

I’ve been a fan of Sawyer Bennett’s books since I read her Off series.  She does an amazing job of connecting the reader to the story, making you feel like you are part of it. Uncivilized was definitely different from her other books, a lot more intense but still so good.  For me to give a book 5 stars it needs to bring out a lot of different emotions in me and Uncivilized did that.    I laughed while Zach was learning the ways of the modern world, his curiosity about sex cracked me up. Besides there being a lot of great heat, the story also had a lot of heart and that is what made me fall in love with Uncivilized and Zach the most. J
