Book Review : Kiss Me Again by Emma Hart @emmahartauthor

WANTED: ROOMMATE. Must be tidy, polite, and absolutely not my brother’s hot as sin best friend.

I have no idea why I said yes.
Maybe I’d had one too many wines. Maybe I’d done it accidentally. Maybe I’d been sleep-texting.
One thing I know for sure is this: I absolutely do not want Ethan Hawkins in my apartment, up in my business, taking over my space.
Yet he’s here. Moving his stuff into my spare bedroom. Sending a wave of panty-melting, musky man-scent my way every time he walks past me.
Here’s the thing.
We don’t get along—at all. We never have, and I don’t think we’re going to start now that we’re under one roof.
There’s also that little issue where I’m kinda, sorta, totally in love with him…

Uh-Oh

What happens when your next door neighbor is the hottest, most notorious playboy in all of South Beach?

Reece Rowe is on hiatus from respectability. Before she returns to her stable, boring existence of charity events and dating predictable, stuffy suitors who are only interested in getting closer to the wealthy family who adopted her, she’s going to get a taste of what she’s been missing. She screws up her courage and heads to Vincent Ferguson’s office to find out what all the women in South Beach already seem to know about him.

Once CEO Vin Ferguson’s tech company goes public, he’ll have proved he’s no longer the poor, gritty kid from the wrong side of the tracks. But, citing his bad boy reputation, some financial backers waver, and his friends suggest dating a more respectable woman to improve his image. Ridiculous. Because delectable but snooty socialites, like his next door neighbor, are way out of his league.

And then, Reese walks through his office door and makes him an offer. To say his jaw hits the floor is an understatement.

And he can’t believe what she just proposed...

Cover Reveal : Slider by Harley Wylde @HarleyW_writer @xpressotours



Slider
by Harley Wylde
(Hades Abyss MC, #3)
Publication date: November 8th 2019
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, 

Synopsis:

Vasha: Being groomed for the man who purchased me is the only life I’ve known. But I want more. I want freedom! My husband-to-be is a cruel, vicious man. I dread the day he claims me. When my bodyguard and friend, Anatoly, arranges my passage to America — as a mail order bride — I hope it means things will be better. I never counted on my husband being so handsome, or so tender. Nor did I know that passion between a man and a woman could be so consuming! He leaves my knees weak and makes my heart race. There’s just one problem… He doesn’t know we’re married! I don’t know how it happened, or how to fix things, but it’s clear Slider is angry. Leaving was the only thing I knew to do, but it was also the hardest decision I’ve ever made.

Slider: I’m not even thirty yet, but I’m already tired of the bullshit that comes with easy women. Maybe seeing my Pres settle down gave me a new perspective. Having the same woman in my bed every night is starting to sound more and more appealing. Or guy. I’m not picky. Love is love. What I didn’t count on was my ex-lover deciding to “help” me with my problem. When he left a naked woman in my bed, I was pissed… until I realized she was in trouble. She needs me, and maybe I need her too. I always did have a hero complex, but it only takes a few minutes of knowing her before I want to slay her dragons, keep her safe, and show her that not all men are evil.

I didn’t count on her being my wife. F**cking Surge! Always putting his nose where he shouldn’t. When she runs, I realize I seriously f**ked up and I have to get her back.

A tween reporter discovers an important and beloved club at school is being shut down—and uses the power of the pen to try and activate some much-needed social change in this period-positive and empowering middle grade novel about the importance of standing up for what you believe in.

Riley Dunne loves being a member of the Red Club. It’s more than a group of girls supporting each other through Aunt Flo’s ups and downs; it’s a Hawking Middle School tradition. The club’s secret locker has an emergency stash of supplies, and the girls are always willing to lend an ear, a shoulder, or an old pair of sweatpants.

But when the school administration shuts the Red Club down because of complaints, the girls are stunned. Who would do that to them? The girls’ shock quickly turns into anger, and then they decide to get even.

But wallpapering the gym with maxi pads and making tampon crafts in art class won’t bring their club back. Only Riley can do that. Using the skills she has cultivated as her school paper’s top investigative reporter (okay, only investigative reporter), she digs for the truth about who shut the club down and why. All the while dealing with friendship drama, a new and ridiculous dress code, and a support group that is now more focused on fighting with each other than fighting back.

Can she save the Red Club before this rebellion turns into a full-scale war?

Truth, like love, isn’t always obvious. 
Seventeen-year-old Ruby Brooks has never had a boyfriend. After moving to small-town La Luna, New Mexico following her mother’s untimely death, boys aren’t even on her radar.

As Ruby unravels her own powerful connections to both Ezra and the pueblo ruin, she’ll learn surfaces are deceiving. Especially in the heart of New Mexico, where ghosts and legends aren’t always just campfire stories.

NYCC 2019 RECAP : SATURDAY AND SUNDAY


Saturdays at NYCC are always crazy but for me I was rather chill. I stuck to mostly panels along with a giant cup of coffee and a nice and heavy sweater. NYCC was really not weather friendly this year.

I started my day off with a panel by Epic Reads titled The Harper Voyager an Intergalactic Battle Royale. Basically new books were put head to head to see which characters would win in bizarre situations. Very fun and we got freebies at the end.

Spotlight : Mental Health Reads

I feel its always a good time to recommend some good self help books and books that deal with mental illness in a real way and not so clinical. A way that keeps your attention and not have you googling what the actual fuck the writer means.

In the past few months I've come across some great material that made me laugh and cry about my situation. It made the discussions later on not so uncomfortable. You aren't alone in this fight and on this rotating marble of Earth. We all deal with some shit. Here are a few of my favorites.

So Sad Today : Personal Essays by Melissa Broder
Ok Fine Whatever by Courtenay Hameister
Mixed Feelings : Poems and Stories by Avan Jogia
To Drink Coffee with a Ghost by Amanda Lovelace
Boy Meets Depression: Or Life Sucks and Then You Live by Kevin Breel
Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay
A Tragic Kind of Wonderful by Eric Lindstrom
Masquerade by Cyrus Parker
Mental: Lithium, Love, and Losing My Mind by Jaime Lowe
Hope these books can help you out at any time or during a difficult time when you feel you may be at a low point or alone.

Book Review : Three Dark Crown Series. Books 1-3 by Kendare Blake


 When kingdom come, there will be one.

In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born—three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers. Katharine is a poisoner, one who can ingest the deadliest poisons without so much as a stomachache. Arsinoe, a naturalist, is said to have the ability to bloom the reddest rose and control the fiercest of lions.

But becoming the Queen Crowned isn’t solely a matter of royal birth. Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a game of win or lose…it’s life or death. The night the sisters turn sixteen, the battle begins.


Cover Reveal : Dead Man's Hands by Renee Rose @reneeroseauthor #ardentprosepr




“I OWN YOU NOW”
She made a big mistake. You don’t blackmail a Tacone.

But once I give it to her, we both know what it means:
She belongs to me.
I do my best to hold back. Give her respect.
Trouble is, I can’t keep my hands off her.
And now that she’s under my thumb,
I don’t plan to let her go...
