Cover Reveal - Seeking Her

ABOUT SEEKING HER by Cora Carmack

A few months after being honorably discharged from the military, Jackson Hunt is still struggling to adjust back to the real world. He needs to get a job and find a sense of normalcy if he’s going to keep his own demons at bay. The job that falls into his lap, though, is anything but normal.

Bodyguard (and baby-sitter) to spoiled-rich-girl Kelsey Summers isn’t exactly what he’d been looking for, but it’s a chance to travel, to get away from the home that has felt stifling ever since his return. It would be a pretty sweet gig if it weren’t for the fact that Kelsey’s father doesn’t want Kelsey to know she’s being followed. Hunt feels guilty (and a little bit creepy) as he watches her from afar. She’s vibrant and infuriating, exciting and reckless, mysterious and familiar. When he sees her falling into the same patterns that he suffered years ago, he decides it’s time to stop watching and help her instead. But getting to know her is more difficult than he thought, especially because the more he knows her,the more he wants her.

All the Pretty Lies

Her…
Sloane Locke has led a sheltered life. However, with a history like hers, she can understand why her brothers and her father want so much to protect her. She has gone along with it for twenty long years, but those days are over. For the girl who never makes promises, Sloane has made a pact with herself that things will change on her twenty-first birthday. So when the clock strikes midnight, Sloane strikes out to spread her wings and break a few rules.

Him…
In addition to inking skin, Hemi Spencer possesses many talents. Controlling himself has never been one of them. It’s never had to be. He’s lived a life of indulgence for as long as he can remember. Right up until tragedy struck. Now, he’s nothing but controlled. He’s a man on a mission, one who will let nothing and no one stand in his way.

Them…
Nothing in their lives could’ve prepared Sloane and Hemi for what they’d find in each other—distraction and obsession, love and possession. But the one thing they can’t find is a future. Neither one has been totally honest. And they’ll soon learn that the devil is in the details. In the details and in the lies.
How far will two people go to live in the now when the now is all they’ve got?

My Thoughts on the Book

 
M. Leighton does such a wonderful job giving us enough information to keep us interested but not enough to figure out everything before the story unfolds and I love that in a book. All the Pretty Lies is a story about two people that have secrets of their own that start to collide. Sloan and Hemi are great together and I love when a player falls and falls hard.

Pushing the Limits

No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with freaky scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal.

But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.

Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

My Thoughts on the Book

 
This is my first Katie McGarry book and it will not be my last. This is a wonderful story of two people helping each other and falling in love in the process. Both are broken in their own ways but find strength in the other to be a better person and get past some of their problems. It was a really beautiful story and I am glad I chose to read it.

Elite by Rachel Van Dyken

She just didn't realize she was the enemy -- until it was too late. 

My Thoughts on the Book

 
This book was great but not at all what I expected. As a reader you are completely in the dark for the first third of the book, you may start to get a picture of what is going on but it is still very unclear and captivating at the same time. This book is fast paced, the boys are dangerous, protective, sometimes mean and completely irresistible. I loved the story and it is a very different sub genre then I usually read but this book is hard to put down. My only minor complaint is that I wish the book was longer so that the story could have been built up and developed a bit more, it is such a great story I just wanted more of it.

Foreplay by Sophie Jordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pepper has been hopelessly in love with her best friend’s brother, Hunter, for like ever. He’s the key to everything she’s always craved: security, stability, family. But she needs Hunter to notice her as more than just a friend. Even though she’s kissed exactly one guy, she has just the plan to go from novice to rock star in the bedroom—take a few pointers from someone who knows what he’s doing.

Her college roommates have the perfect teacher in mind. But bartender Reece is nothing like the player Pepper expects. Yes, he’s beyond gorgeous, but he’s also dangerous, deep—with a troubled past. Soon what started as lessons in attraction are turning both their worlds around, and showing just what can happen when you go past foreplay and get to what’s real…


My Thoughts on the Book

I was really looking forward to this book, one of my favorite authors wrote about it along with a few bloggers I follow that had gotten ARCs. It did not disappoint. Pepper is in College and in love with her best friend's brother Hunter. Hunter does not think of her as anything more then a friend and when he breaks up with his girl friend Peppers want to find a way to change how he feels. With the help of her roommates, a willing bartender, Reece, they work on teaching Pepper how to get Hunter to notice her but plans may end of changing for Pepper after all.

This story is very fun, with lots of fun and awkward moments. Pepper is very sweet and honest and Reece is a good guy masked in a bit of a bad boy mystery. The ending was a bit of the classic cliche for me but I still loved every moment. There were no bad guys here and I hope we get to see all of the characters again soon. 4.5 stars.

The Wager

The Wager by Rachel Van Dyken
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Granma Granma Grandma! The wager is adorable and I enjoyed it more then the Bet. Jake and Char are great together and the Grandmothers antics to get them together were some of the most hilarious things I have read. I really thought Kacey would be pushing for Jake and Char but that did not appear to be the case unless I missed part of the plan but either way the book is a lot of fun and a great read.

In the stunning, action-packed climax to the bestselling Covenant series, Alex must face a terrible choice: the destruction of everything and everyone she holds dear… or the end of herself.

My Thoughts on the Book


The final book in the Covenant Series and it did not disappoint. This book is action packed, fast paced and ever changing and I loved every minute of it. A certain character we love to hate redeemed himself in a very big way and we don't even know how big until the last chapter, hold onto your hats for that one! For once a god does not go back on his word while the books is exciting and will have you nervous about almost everything until the very end! I will not give anything away but JLA has done it again and yeah for a great HEA!!!!!!! I first started reading Jennifer's LUX series and I always thought that series would be my favorite but this series has grown and grown on my and now I am not so sure. At the very least it is a tie and since I have loved every JLA book I have read I am ok with that! Enjoy, I promise you will.
