Until the End by Abbi Glines


We would love for you to join us in a release week event for UNTIL THE END by New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Abbi Glines from October 28-November 4, 2014! 

TitleUntil The End (Sea Breeze #9)
Author: Abbi Glines
Publisher: Simon Pulse (October 28, 2014)


The backstory that fans have been clamoring for—how Rock and Trisha fell in love—is the final installment in the Sea Breeze series from New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines. And don’t miss the sizzling Epilogue, where Abbi wraps up all the Sea Breeze couples’ stories!

Trisha Corbin always knew how to hide a bruise. With her momma’s boyfriends unable to keep their hands off of her, she had no choice. And as long as it meant the guys wouldn’t go near her little brother, Krit, it was worth it. But her days of dreaming that Prince Charming would ever come rescue her are far, far in the past.

Rock Taylor always had a plan. Through football, he would rise above the life he was born into. A full ride to play for a major college team was within his reach—assuming he didn’t let anything get in his way. But scoring a date with the hottest girl in Sea Breeze was proving harder than expected. Trisha Corbin was every man’s walking fantasy, and she wouldn’t even glance his way.

When Rock finally does get Trisha in his truck, it isn’t for a date. It’s because he picks her up on the side of the road, beaten and bruised and walking to the local hospital. Before Rock knows it, football is no longer his life. Trisha Corbin is. And he’ll do anything to save her. And keep her.

In addition to Rock and Trisha’s love story, this special novel contains the wrap-up stories of all your favorite Sea Breeze couples: Sadie and Jax, Marcus and Low, Cage and Eva, Preston and Amanda, Jess and Jason, Krit and Blythe, and Dewayne and Sienna.



Excerpt 3-Trisha, The Present
Once we had both boys tucked in we cut the lights and closed the door.
Rock stood there with his hand on the doorknob once we were in the hallway. “That never gets old,” he said in a whisper.
He didn’t have to explain. I understood. Two years ago we were told that we could never have children. It was something we both wanted. A family. We wanted to create a world we ourselves were cheated of.  We wanted to have a house full of love and safety. One we could give to kids the way we had always dreamed of having ourselves.
We had that now. We were not only able to have a family filled with all those things we longed for, but we were able to give it to kids that were living a life of hell much like the one we had been raised in. They were here now, though, and they were ours. And never again would they suffer or fear or go hungry. We would love them always.
“We’re very blessed,” I agreed quietly.
Rock smiled at me. “Yeah, we are.”

After the Pain by Gia Riley

After the Pain (Book #2)

3 Stars

This review may contain spoilers if you haven’t read Before the Pain.

After the Pain continues Hallie's story from Before the Pain. This is her journey of recovering from her tragic loss and finding that there is still love out there.

I liked After the Pain but didn’t enjoy it as much as I did Before the Pain. Hallie irritated me too much throughout the book, she kind of felt like a different character to me at times. She was keeping secrets and hiding stuff from Sean that caused drama. To me what she was doing just didn’t seem worth it. I will say the steam in this book was definitely amped up from the previous book. Hallie and Sean couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Another thing that I really liked about After the Pain was the bit of mystery mixed into the story; it kept the reader guessing who could be messing with them.

After the Pain was a good story and I was happy to see Hallie get her happily ever after but for me the secrets and drama was the only thing that took the enjoyment away from the story for me.


Between the Pain by Gia Riley

Between the Pain (The Reflection Series, #1)

4 Stars

Between the Pain was kind of an emotional read for me. I was happy, then sad and then happy again. I even shaded a tear or two, but I really enjoyed it. I was definitely sucked into the story right from the beginning. At first I was a little upset thinking this might end up being a love triangle, which I’m not a fan of but so everyone know it really isn’t.

 photo beforethepain_zps4bd1a14f.jpg



Hallie’s Dawson love life has definitely been lacking, but when she starts a new nursing job in the ER, she catches the eye for two very delicious guys, Ryan a fellow nurse and Sean a therapist at the hospital. The connection between Ryan and Hallie is instant and strong. The two have a world win romance and fall for each other hard.

I’m not going to go much more into the story because I want other reader’s experiences Hallie story and journey for themselves. The story does wrap up nicely but there is a sequel to Between the Pain called After the Pain which continues Hallie story and really does complete her journey.

First Position by Melody Grace

First Position  (Dirty Dancing, #1)


4 Stars

Woo Hoo!!! Another great book by Melody Grace. First Position and the Dirty Dancing series is a retelling of another book by Melody called With Every Heartbeat. I’ve already read With Every Heartbeat and loved it, so I was super excited when I found out she had revamped the book and turned it into a three part series. For those who have read With Every Heartbeat you’ll be excited to know we now get a few chapters from leading man Raphael’s pov and the story has gotten a lot steamier!! Even though I was already familiar with the story, I really enjoyed the new additions and the extra hotness.

First Position is about American ballet dancer Annalise Taylor. Annalise has come to Rome with a traveling ballet company, she is there to prove that she can be the best ballerina and also prove that to her superstar ballerina mother. What she wasn’t expecting was to meet local street dancer Raphael. From the moment their eyes meet there is an instant connection. Annalise isn’t only extremely attracted to him, but she is also intrigued by him. Raphael starts to open her eyes and mind to things Annalise never dreamed of.

Even though I already know how the story is going to play out I can’t wait for Second Position out November 12th. I was completely sucked in again to the story and the characters and wasn’t ready for it to be over yet. I really think this series has a little bit of something for everyone, blooming romance in the Italian city of Rome, passionate dance, humor and acceptance.



Second Position (Dirty Dancing #2)Third Position (Dirty Dancing #3)

A week in New York by Louise Bay

A Week in New York (The Empire State Trilogy, #1)

4 Stars

 
A Week in New York is part one in a new trilogy by Louise Bay.  This was a fast, fun, steamy read and I really enjoyed it. And did I say it was steamy because it was!

The story centers around Anna Kirby and Ethan Scott. Anna is on vacation with her best friend Leah in New York City.  This is her chance to get away from her latest heartbreak and just enjoy some time with her friend.  During a girls night out Anna meets super sexy stranger, Ethan.  Maybe a vacation fling is just what she needs to get over her broken heart but she has rules.  Rules she needs to keep in place so no one including herself gets attached or hurt.  That’s fine with Ethan, he has rules of his own.  He doesn’t date, no sleep overs and he doesn’t make promises of more to any of the girls he sleeps with.   Anna and Ethan agree to a week of fun, just “enjoying each other’s company” if you know what I mean. ;) Feelings or attachment shouldn’t be a problem when they only have a week to spend with each other right, wrong!

I really liked the chemistry and the easy way Anna and Ethan had with each other.  Louise did a great job of bringing humor into the book without making it feel juvenile.  She really made the characters feel real. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book.  I need to know where Anna and Ethan go after their week together.

Prologue to First Position
A woman dances the same way she fucks. 
Soft and self-conscious; lithe and graceful. Or wild. Passionate. 
Unleashed. 
It’s not just women either. If you want to know how a man will perform between the sheets, just take him to the nearest dance floor. You’ll learn everything you need to know. His stamina, his rhythm, the slow grind of his hips. Some people are born to it, others learn through years of careful study. 
And dancers? We fuck best of all. 
Our bodies are our instruments, and we use them in a symphony of pure pleasure. We know just how far to push you, the breathless pacing of true art. The rise and fall that will make you beg for mercy; the ache of satisfaction when we give it to you hard and strong. 
Dancing is the ultimate in sensual pleasure, a timeless erotic ritual that needs no words.
I thought I knew what it was like to dance with a skilled partner, a woman who could match my every step. My drive. 
My passion. 
Then I met her. 
Every step she takes conjures wild, dark fantasies in my mind. Every sway of those hips demands satisfaction. My hands on her body. Her lips parted in the sweet gasp of release. Easing those sweet thighs apart and sinking inside deep her, inch by ravenous inch. 
Her innocence is intoxicating. My lust is fierce. Primal. 
To watch her dance is to know the torment of true temptation. 
She will be mine.

Holly Lane by J.B. Morgan

Please check out this new upcoming book by my good friend J.B. Morgan called Holly Lane








Fractured Lines by Jen McLaughin

Fractured Lines (Out of Line, #4)


4 Stars
Fractured Lines by Jen McLaughlin is book 4 in the Out of Line series.  I haven’t read any of the books from this series before.  You can read this book as a stand-alone from the series.  There is some recapping as to what goes on in the other books so you’re not completely lost, but if you are wanting to read this series I would definitely start by reading book 1 Out of Line.  For those who have read this series will probably really love Fractured Lines because their favorite characters are back.  I’m not sure if they will be happy seeing their favorite characters go through more drama. 

 
Finn’s past demons come back to haunt him, causing him to slip up in a moment of weakness.  That moment of weakness might cost him the family he built and love with all his heart.  Trusts are broken along with hearts. What I love most about the story was that even though things are falling apart Finn and Carrie don’t completely just give up, even when they think they might.  They worked through it together.

What comes next, once your happily ever after has been written?
Real life.
Nicole and Alec are doing their best to live the HEA she's been dreaming for and writing about in her books.

Something's got to give.
Sometimes, what looks like happily ever after from the start can become something entirely different on the other side.

That is, until Nicole's publisher sends her on an extended book tour for her upcoming release, putting an unexpected strain on their relationship. When Alec begins hanging out with his ex, who also happens to be the mother of his little girl, Nicole can't help feeling that maybe her ever after is about to turn into a never mind.
Things turn from bad to worse when Nicole is faced with what she perceives as betrayal, leaving the door open to Greg, her new public relations rep who is more than willing to offer up a shoulder to dump her woes on. Betrayal can be a two-way street and Nicole must now decide which way the story goes from here.
Writing a happily ever after was so much easier than actually living one…

Just when Romero thought he'd conquered his anger issues...
Now that Izzy has earned her credentials to teach at a college level, Romero is doing his best to be supportive. Even after she informs him she won't be teaching.

She'll be assisting a professor—a recently divorced professor whom she'll work with side by side.
Isabel loves being home with her kids, but she's ready to get back to her career—back to a world where she can enjoy some in-depth political conversations with someone who really gets it. The brilliant Political Science professor she's assigned to assist seems to be the perfect fit.

But when those conversations get a little personal, Isabel isn't sure if she's just being silly or if the professor is sending insidiously veiled messages.
Romero's knack for picking up on her unease only complicates things, especially because Isabel also has a big Christmas surprise for him. With suspicions awakened, Romero's interpretation of Isabel's sneakiness stirs that dormant rage he hasn't had to deal with in years, and emotions become furiously Tangled.

Echoes Of Scotland Street by Samantha Young

Echoes of Scotland Street (On Dublin Street, #5)

4 Stars

I seriously love this series!!  I’ve been looking forward to Cole’s story since he was first introduced in the series. I was so excited to start Echoes of Scotland Street and it didn’t disappoint.  I really enjoyed Cole and Shannon’s story.  It wasn’t drama filled and there was no instant love, those are two things that can really bug me in a book. Plus all of the old favorites from the previous books were back, which made me even happier.

The story is told from the point of view of Shannon MacLeod.  Shannon has just moved to Edinburgh to get away from her family and a very bad relationship.  She might have gotten away from those things, but she still carries the baggage around from them. She starts a new job as a receptionist at INKarnate where she meets the extremely hot and dreamy Cole.  She very attracted to him, but knows she needs to stay away.  To Shannon he screams bad boy and that is the last kind of guy she needs to be around again.  Cole the charmer, instantly starts flirting with her.  Shannon does everything she can think of to keep Cole away from her, eventually it works when words are exchanged that cut pretty deep.  It takes some convincing by those who know Cole best to get Shannon to open her eyes to the man Cole really is. 

Cole and Shannon both have past issues that they bring with them in their relationship, but what I love the most is that they help each other work through those issues.  Then there is the chemistry and heat between these two and it was HOT!!!  They couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

 

As I said before the characters from the previous books are back and I was so happy to see what has happened with each couple.  To see how each relationship has grown and how their families have too.  We are also introduced to a new character, Logan.  Logan is Shannon’s older brother and has gone through a lot in his life already.  I’m very much looking forward to his story and the continuing story of the group of friends/family from on Dublin Street.
