Love Discovered in New York by Danielle Allen

 

 

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS:

 

The Rebel

 

Mya Washington is a rebel. Or at least, that’s what her family has always said. As the youngest of a set of triplets, she has always been the more rebellious of the three…even though she never considered herself a rebel.

Outspoken? Yes.

Rule Breaker? Sometimes.

Trouble Maker? Nev—occasionally.

Growing tired of being typecast and misunderstood, Mya moves to New York looking for a fresh start away from the life she grew up in and out of the shadow of her older sisters.  Striking out on her own may have put a strain on the family dynamic, but it’s the new beginning Mya was looking for.

But after the unexpected death of her mother, she is blindsided yet again by a wedding invitation she didn’t see coming. Her father’s upcoming marriage only cements the wall she’s put up around her heart. Because if her father could be such an utter disappointment, why should she even attempt to open up to any man?

Enter Colton Davis.

EXCERPT:

 

“What are you doing?” I asked breathily, licking my lips and silently begging him to kiss me.

He didn’t answer at first. He looked at me predatorily before leaning down to nibble on my neck. The feeling of his teeth lightly grazing my skin while the threat of someone walking down the hallway and turning the corner made me clench tightly. His fingers gripped my hips and desire washed over me.  His hands caused goosebumps to erupt everywhere he touched.  My body hummed from the electric currant that flowed between us. The anticipation I felt for Colton’s kiss was almost unbearable.

“What are you doing?” I repeated, wrapping my arms around his neck.

Leaning in so that our lips were almost touching, Colton answered sexily, “You.”

 

 

 

AUTHOR
BIO:

 

I am a married event planner, life coach and instructor.  Between my awesome friends and family and my amazing husband, I am constantly surrounded by love.  My goal at all times is to love what I’m doing and enjoy life.  I love shopping and
football with equal fervor.  I’m an amateur movie critic (i.e. my husband and I watch and critique a lot of movies for fun). I love to read, but since I’ve been writing, I don’t read as much as I used to. I love music. A good lyric with a good melody can paint a vivid picture and invoke such a range of emotions. I have a soft spot for most mediums of creative, artistic expression. But music is probably my favorite.

Giveaway: Finally Us by Harper Bentley

They wanted forever… but is forever really their destiny?

 

When misunderstandings and unsavory characters get in their way, Ellen and Jag call it quits after nine years of being together. Now they find themselves in places with which they’re unaccustomed: Ellen is trying to get used to the idea of dating another man, having never gone out with anyone other than Jag, while Jag is coping with an injury and the loss of baseball, a game he’s played for most of his life. Neither is sure how to handle their new situation, but they’re dealing.

 

When a surprise trade lands Jag right back in the middle of things and right back into Ellen’s life, new boyfriend and all, can he keep his cool and prove to her that what they once had is what’s right? Does Ellen still carry a torch for her first love or has she already fallen for her new baseball player, making it too late for them to start again? 

 

The fight is on as Jag goes head-to-head with Ellen’s new love interest as he tries proving to her that their love deserves another shot. Can he win her back or is their dream of a perfect forever gone for good?

 

This is the third book of the True Love Trilogy.

Finding Spencer by Kimberly Knight

With a crazy ex-girlfriend who won’t leave him alone, Brandon Montgomery is determined to move on to the brunette hottie who caught his eye at the gym he owns. Things start out slowly with Brandon and Spencer, since neither one can find the courage to speak to one another until they both happen to be in Vegas for a weekend. It’s not true. Things don’t always stay in Vegas, and lucky for Brandon, the girl he wants to be with lives in his town. Now if his crazy ex-girlfriend, Christy, would leave him alone, Brandon could move on to where he needs to be. Brandon and Spencer’s story is already written. You know Spencer’s side of it. Now find out what Brandon was really thinking from the moment Spencer walked into Club 24.

This is a novella of the first book in the series, Where I Need to Be, but from Brandons’ point of view.  In it we get to see the things that are going on behind the scenes that Spencer doesn’t know about in the first book until a bit later.  Namely that he’s being stalked by a crazy ex that just won’t take no for an answer and will do anything to get back into his life and his bed.  
    This kind of book can really go either way for me, sometimes they are so close to the original that it becomes a boring read.  This book, while slightly repetitive in places did a decent job of really trying to show the events from a new perspective.  I enjoyed knowing what was going on in Brandons’ head, as well as the rare find of a guy actually being nervous and slightly afraid to talk to a woman he likes.  Most books show the guy as an alpha macho type who could never be nervous or vulnerable in any way, it was a nice change to see something different.  
    Overall I liked this little novella and I think its cool that the author plans to keep writing these in between the longer books and continue to give us the guys’ point of view.  Again, the only drawback for me is that she is still extremely detailed in her narrative, but I hope that relaxes a bit as she writes more books.

I give it 4 out of 5 fangs.

RecruitZ by Karice Bolton

Publication Date: December 24, 2013

Scientists are the new rock stars. The infection has been contained for nearly three months, and the world is celebrating. But humans are still dying. Rebekah Taylor has seen it firsthand. Her husband was killed right in front of her by the very creatures that humans were told they no longer had to fear.Rebekah is determined to find out who is responsible for the death of her husband and the obvious cover-up. Fueled with revenge, she begins to find answers that lead to one frightening conclusion. The apocalypse might be over, but the battles are just beginning.

Review:

I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review. I have not read a lot of Apocalypse books because to me it is such a hard thing to get into. I was pulled into this book right away with the amount of action written into the story line for Rebekah. I absolutely loved how strong her character is even if it is sometimes a false sense of bravado. She is on the hunt but she really is not sure what to be hunting for. She is led to secrets she never dreamed people would keep and a life she never fathomed existing. I really liked Preston in this book and was rooting for the two of them as a pair. I really hope in the next installment we can see healing begin for both of them. What I disliked in this book is that it seemed that the flirtatious interactions between Rebekah and Preston were not fluid, they popped out at random times when it really did not seem fitting. I give this book 4 fangs as  I really want to see what is next for this couple, but had to dock a point because of how slow this book was for me.

Two Roads by L.M. Augustine

Publication Date: August 24, 2013

The only person poetry-loving Cali Monroe hates more than herself is Logan Waters, the geeky kid who lives in the dorm building next to hers.Ever since Cali’s parents told her she would amount to nothing, she has felt entirely inadequate. Friendless and alone, she takes on the mean girl role in hopes it will make her feel better–and Logan serves as the perfect target. He infuriates her with his obnoxiously long lashes, his all too perfect dimpled smile, and his complete lack of personality outside of his intelligence. It doesn’t hurt that he’s part of the reason her brother is dead, either. So Cali hates him, and he returns the favor. Thus, their prank-filled, insult-driven rivalry is born, and torturing Logan quickly becomes the highlight of her life.

But when Cali’s parents set them up on a blind date, she begins to realize Logan might not be as boring as she always thought. He shares her love of poetry, takes a sadistic pleasure in making fun of crepes, and he makes her blush when he calls her smile pretty.

And hey, maybe those long lashes of his aren’t that obnoxious after all…

Two Roads is a New Adult Romance containing some language and mild sexual content. It is a standalone book.

Review:

I received this book from the author and Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock for my honest review. Let me just start out by saying WOW ! This will have you on an emotional roller coaster with lots of ups and downs so get out some tissue ! Cali is a very emotionally scared young woman from the trauma of losing her brother. She is mean to others, lies constantly to everyone, and is just plain angry. She knows what she does to herself and others is wrong, but she can’t seem to help herself. Logan was Cali’s brother’s best friend, and they grew up together, until Logan took off after Ben died. Six months ago he transferred to the same college as Cali. Since then Cali and Logan have been pranking each other and trying to one up on the other. They have quit the love hate love relationship going on. Cali blames Logan for her brother’s death, but after Logan blackmails Cali into a weekend getaway to a poetry convention things turn around for both of them. At first I was very annoyed by Cali’s character. It was so oh poor me, I wanted to just smack her ! However as the book moved along I started to really feel for her and her real self came through. Logan was great, and the things he did for Cali melted my heart. I am giving this book a 4 fang rating and telling my friends to download it now ! Thank you, Shawn Reese

Review 2:

I give this book 5 Fangs
I got this book from L.M. Augustine and Paranormal Romance & Authors That Rock for an honest review.
Two Roads by L.M Augustine is in my top 10 favorite books of 2013.  In this book you will meet a girl named Cali Monroe, who doesn’t like who she is on the outside but cant figure out how to be who she is on the inside. Then comes in her prank war with long time rival Logan Waters, future dictating parents, failing grades, poetry blogs, and a slutty jock roomie names Ruby. Cali’s got a lot on her plate.
Cali is my favorite character because she goes through so much and you cant help but feel for, feel with her like you’re right there with her. This book will keep you guessing through out each chapter no matter what guesses or assumptions your make… you will be wrong. This book is fun, mysterious, love, hate, all in one that has to be my favorite part. I laughed a lot while reading Two Roads, and I also cried, its one of those book where you cant help but keep turning the page despite your tears. I would suggest this book to readers in their late teens to mid twenties who love relationship drama, comedies, with just a hint a mystery.
