4.5 Amazing Stars
I am hooked and can't let go!  Awesome book and kudos for this being the author's first published book.  The story is engaging, the characters are well developed, and the book is overall one you will not want to put down.  I was very impressed by the author and her ability to write about a very touchy subject in our world today, bullying.  It's something that everyone knows goes on, but if it's not happening to you, we tend to just turn a blind eye to it.  Through the book and characters of Broken, we don't just get a wonderful paranormal story line, we also get an in-depth look into the world of bullying from the stand point of the person being bullied.  I rooted for Cordelia throughout this entire book!  I absolutely LOVED her!  She isn't one of those heroines who is whiny and gets on your nerves.  I was very proud of her.  The book definitely ends in a cliffhanger and leaves you wanting more.  Can't wait to get my hands on the next one and I see a lot of growth happening in all of the characters.

Cover Reveal: Giving In


Giving In 
(The Sandy Cover Series Book 1)
by M.R. Joseph

Releases end February





Raphael Cruz doesn't do it. He just doesn't. Cruz doesn't fall in love. He's a "get in and get out" kind of guy. Ladies love him and fall all over him for his swoon worthy good looks and overwhelming sex appeal. He knows how to talk to them and tells them exactly what they want to hear. When he's done making them scream his name, he shows them straight to the door. The meaning of the word love doesn't exist in his world. But that could all change with a wink of a girl's eye... And one hot-as-hell romp in a bar bathroom.

Harlow Hannum is your typical girl-next-door. She has the brains, the beauty, and the money. What she doesn't have is the luxury of being someone's first choice in the game of love. She always comes in a distant second place, leaving her guarded with her feelings. Lies, betrayal, and secrets of her past follow her wherever she goes, no matter how hard she tries to hide them.  That is until she's reunited with the one guy who can ignite the spark in her heart that's been extinguished for so long.

With sunny days, heated nights, and love lingering in the air in the beach town of Sandy Cove anything can happen. Especially when fate steps in for Harlow and Cruz. Will their blossoming friendship turn into unexpected love or will the collision of their opposing worlds be the end of what could have been?

 A great suspense with light paranormal ~ 4 Stars

This was not your typical paranormal. At 6 years old, a tragedy brought Cassie to live with her Grandmother. Cassie grows up without the terrible memories of what happened to her family.  L.A. Remenicky takes what seems like an ordinary story and turns it into something that was so unpredictable. A fight to save Cassie from a Demon that is haunting her dreams.

After her Grandmother’s death, Cassie leaves her life in New York City to return to Fairfield Corners to run her Grandmother’s bookstore. She is reunited with James, her best friend since childhood. You will love their funny, brother-sister like relationship and the protectiveness they feel for each other.  Cassie is a strong, self-sufficient woman who has been through hell and back. She uses sarcasm to mask her insecurities but as you learn more about some of the difficulties she has had to deal with, alone, you will love her even more.

Cassie meets by-the-book, Deputy Logan Miller. They both are healing from a broken relationship and are fighting the feelings they have for each other. At first they don’t like each other very much, but when circumstances force them together, sparks fly and you won’t be able to get enough of them!

Cassie’s life is threatened, but how do you fight something you can’t see? It is a race to save Cassie from the unknown. As time goes on and she begins to remember events from the past, her life is in even more danger that begins to affect the people she loves.
This was a great story that has something for everyone ~ Romance, suspense, paranormal and hot sex!

RELEASE DATE: October 21, 2013

SYNOPSIS:


New York City, May 2000. The Internet bubble has burst, and Evan's boss fires him with an email. The next day, his girlfriend dumps him, also via email. Afraid to check any more emails, Evan desperately seeks a rebound romance but the catastrophes that ensue go from bad to hilariously worse. Fortunately, Evan meets someone whose legendary disasters with females eclipse even his own.

To reverse their fortunes, they recruit their friends into a group of five guys who take on Manhattan in pursuit of dates, sex, and adventure. With musings about life, relationships, and human psychology, this quintessential New York story about the search for happiness follows five men on their comical paths to trouble, self-discovery, and love.

AUTHOR BIO:

Zack Love graduated from Harvard College, where he tried to create a bachelor’s degree in Women. With the bachelor portion of that degree in hand, he settled in New York City but – to afford renting his bed-sized studio – found himself flirting mostly with a computer screen and stacks of documents. Determined not to die a corporate drone, Zack decided to sacrifice sleep for screenwriting, an active social life, and Internet startups offering temporary billion-dollar fantasies.

To feed his steady diet of NYC nightlife, he regularly crashed VIP parties in the early 2000s and twice bumped into his burgeoning crush, a Hollywood starlet. But – much to Zack’s surprise – neither of those awkward conversations led to marriage with the A-list actress. Zack eventually consoled himself by imagining fiascoes far worse than those involving his celebrity crush. In the process, he dreamed up a motley gang of five men inspired by some of his college friends and quirky work colleagues. And thus was born Sex in the Title. But the novel is not autobiographical: Zack never had his third leg attacked by any mammal (nor by any plant, for that matter). In fact, keeping his member safe has been one of Zack’s lifelong goals – and one of the few that he’s managed to accomplish.

EXCERPT 1
“So what’s the body count?”
“The body count?”
“You know: how many women have you slept with in your twenty-nine years?”
Evan wasn’t sure whether to overstate the number to look sexually impressive to a soft porn star, or whether to understate the number to look less promiscuous and more like the responsible, clean cut, solid-boyfriend type. Since he still hadn’t quite figured out what Tina was looking for or who she really was, he decided just to tell the truth.
“I’ve been with about sixty-seven women.”
“What do you mean ‘about sixty-seven?’ You say ‘about sixty’ or ‘about seventy.’ But not ‘about sixty-seven.’ You’re obviously keeping track.” Tina looked amused at another opportunity to toy with Evan.
“All right. You got me,” Evan conceded. “I’ve been with precisely sixty-seven women.”
“Unless, of course, you said ‘about’ because the total depends on how you define ‘being with a woman.’ For example, if you just got a blowjob and nothing else then maybe you don’t count that.”
“OK. To be more precise, I’ve had sexual intercourse with sixty-seven women.”
“All right, so then you’ve probably been with many more women than sixty-seven?”
“Yeah. But I don’t keep track of those.” Evan suddenly wondered why he didn’t bother to keep track of anything but consummation.
“I see…So when did you get started on these sixty-seven women?”
“You mean, how old was I when I lost my virginity?”
“Yes.”
“Twenty.”
“So you’ve slept with sixty-seven women in just nine years.”
“Well, actually I’ve had six serious relationships that together took up about two years.”
“Serious? Let’s see…Six serious relationships in two years…So each one lasted an average of four months. You call that serious?”
“Well, it was an intense four months. And I wasn’t seeing anyone else. You know, that’s kind of a big deal in New York,” he added ironically. “Dating someone exclusively for four months in New York is like four years in Anchorage.”
Tina chuckled at Evan’s joke. “All right, so not counting the serious relationships, you’ve slept with...” She crunched some numbers in her head. “You’ve slept with sixty-one women in just seven years…That’s an average of almost nine per year…A new woman every forty days.” Tina seemed impressed, which suddenly made Evan feel rather promiscuous.

Because of Ellison Tour

BLURB:
 
When I was nineteen years old, I lived for sex, drugs and a good party. I had it all - good looks, a fast car and a hot girlfriend. Nothing in life was more important.

That was, until I met Ellison James….

Since the moment I first saw her she was a raging bull; tackling me in the mud and throwing out insults as fast as her tongue could form the sound.

She was snarky
She was rude
And she pissed me off like no other woman could.

I lived beside her for a summer and in the three months that I walked by her side...

She opened my eyes
She changed my life
And she made me a better man
