BLURRED LINES by Jen McLaughlin

Once burned...
Finding my fiancée naked on my couch might’ve been a good thing, if her ex-boyfriend hadn’t been with her. For the past eight years I’ve been a witness to the power of true love, but after getting burned I’d decided there wasn’t any hope for me finding it for myself. Until I met Noelle Brandt in a hotel bar. Maybe it wasn’t the most romantic meeting, but the moment I met her I knew I had to have her. The more I learn about her, the more I know I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her.
Twice shy.. 
I’d already found the love of my life, but I’d lost that love forever. And I’d been lost ever since. But one night a wounded man makes all of that go away. He makes me laugh, live, and feel alive. When he tells me he has no intention of letting me go, I finally begin to believe in the power of true love again.  That is, until I find out who he really is…and by then, it’s far too late to correct the mistakes we’ve already made. By the time we both know the truth, the lines have already been blurred beyond recognition.     

Blurred Lines si può considerare una sorta di spinoff della famosa serie Out of Line. 
Riley, il protagonista, l'abbiamo già incontrato proprio nel primo romanzo di questa serie, l'amico del college di Carrie che ha reso Finn un pò geloso, ve lo ricordate?
Bene, dopo aver lasciato che la ragazza di cui si era innamorato, sposasse l'uomo della sua vita, tocca a lui trovare la donna giusta.
Riley, è un'avvocato, la sua famiglia è più che benestante e il padre diventerà il futuro vicepresidente. Non c'è posto per i propri desideri, la sua vita viene costantemente messa sotto un microscopio dove ogni scelta deve essere analizzata da mille prospettive diverse. Non è importante se a lui non piace fare l'avvocato, se non è innamorato della fidanzata che la madre ha scelto, Riley fa quello che gli altri si aspettano che  faccia. No spontaneità, no libertà di essere se stesso. Solo imposizione e tanta tanta solitudine.
Quando una sera torna a casa e trova i vestiti della sua fidanzata e quelli di qualcun altro sparsi per casa, qualcosa scatta. Il fatto che si fosse più arrabbiato, non per la vista di due corpi avvinghiati, di cui uno era quello della sua futura moglie, ma perché lo stessero facendo sul suo divano, gli fa finalmente aprire gli occhi.
Questo vi da un'idea del tipo di relazione che li legava. Si trattava di un rapporto privo di amore reciproco, tutto era calcolato, si sarebbero presi cura di entrambi senza la paura di essere feriti. Nonostante Riley non fosse innamorato di Sara, non l'avrebbe  mai tradita.
Stanco di fare sempre la cosa giusta, decide di andarsene da casa sua, rompere il fidanzamento e provare a ricominciare daccapo. La rinascita incomincia con una bella sbronza di whisky , un albergo in San Diego e una scrittrice di libri romance, in città per una conferenza. 

Il loro primo incontro, piuttosto stravagante, avviene in un ascensore. Riley, visibilmente ubriaco, racconta a Noelle, la scrittrice, le sue recenti disavventure amorose e il suo attuale stato di vagabondaggio. Non avendo un posto dove trascorrere la notte, chiede a Noelle asilo in camera sua. Di norma, Noelle, schiva e associale, non avrebbe mai fatto entrare un estraneo in camera. Ma la giovane donna, vede negli occhi verdi dell'uomo di fronte a se, una persona persa ed infelice, bisognosa di un' amica che gli possa donare conforto e una spalla su cui piangere. Riley però non ha nessuna voglia di piangere, non è distrutto per la rottura del suo fidanzamento ma dalla consapevolezza che mai troverà l'amore. Si sente condannato ad una vita in solitaria, nessuno al suo fianco a condividerla.

Noelle non vuole sedurlo. Riley non vuole approfittare della sua disponibilità. Ma il bacio è inevitabile come del resto quello che generalmente ne consegue tra adulti consenzienti.
Dopo il loro primo incontro e la loro prima notte, per entrambi è difficile stare lontani. Consapevoli che la loro storia avrà durata fino a quando Noelle resterà in città, cercano di sfruttare al massimo ogni secondo. Proposte di matrimonio improvvise, colgono la nostra protagonista alla sprovvista. Come può Riley chiedere di sposarla conoscendola da nemmeno 15 giorni? La famiglia di lui non approverebbe mai. Cosa succederebbe se scoprissero il segreto della famiglia di Noelle? 

Riley non sa gestire la gioia e la freschezza che Noelle porta nella sua vita. Era convinto che mai avrebbe potuto amare un'altra donna oltre a Carrie. Ma si sbagliava di grosso, Noelle è una sferzata di aria fresca, lei riesce a fargli provare cosa significa essere spontanei e liberi ma sopratutto innamorati. Un sentimento che una volta scoperto gli permetterà di fare il gesto spontaneo per eccellenza: la proposta di matrimonio. Ma questo nuovo Riley, quanto è forte? Lo è abbastanza da non farsi nuovamente sottomettere dalle imposizioni familiari? 

Noelle, è una giovane vedova, ha rimesso in piedi la sua vita creandosi un nome scrivendo libri romance. Non parla volentieri della sua famiglia, per lei è come se fossero morti ma la verità è che non lo sono e hanno condizionato la sua vita in modo tale da obbligarla a trasferirsi dalla sua città e provare ad ogni costo a dimenticare di averne mai avuta una. Conosciuto Riley, però, dovrà farci i conti, anche sull'attaccamento che ancora prova per un uomo che ormai non c'è più. Riuscirà Noelle a combattere con i suoi demoni in favore di una vita felice, spontanea e ricca di amore?

Questa scrittrice, continua a sfornare romanzi su romanzi, serie su serie e non ho mai letto qualcosa che non fosse al di sopra della media.
Lei, come per tante altre, è stata una scoperta casuale, girovagando su siti come goodreads . Dopo aver letto Out of Line, non mi è stato più possibile non seguirla e leggere ogni sua pubblicazione. Mi congratulo con la Newton Compton Editori per aver fiutato il suo talento ed aver pubblicato questa scrittrice. Mi auguro solo che non diventi parte del cimitero delle serie interrotte che sembrano popolare le librerie italiane.
Il suo stile è facile da seguire e molto incalzante perché ricco di dialoghi e battute divertenti.
Il doppio POV, sempre utile, ci da un quadro a 360 gradi dei sentimenti dei protagonisti. Per gli affezionati di Carrie e Finn, in questo romanzo, faranno un paio di apparizioni fugaci!!
Un romanzo romance come se ne sono letti tanti, ma di qualità validissima, amore veloce, classiche incomprensioni e la domanda finale : ci sarà l'happy ending? Io ho la bocca cucita!

FORBIDDEN by Charlotte Stein





FORBIDDEN (Under the Skin Series #2)


They

say I need help. Another exorcism. This is not new. This is my life. Today, I
expect to suffer at the hands of a man as warped by superstition and fear as my
mother. A man who will torture me in order to save me from things that don't
exist.


But the

man who actually comes to me is different.


Killian

is good and decent, and he sees what's good and decent in me. And I don't mean
for it to happen, but every time he looks at me, his gaze sets me on fire. He
brings me to the light, gives me back my life. For the first time, I see a
future for myself.


A

future with him.


I burn

for Killian-a man who's intent on protecting me. On healing me.


He

doesn't get it. The only thing that can heal me is him. But Killian will soon
be a priest. Untouchable. Forbidden.


How can

I ask a man to choose between me … and God?

Seductions Kiss RDL Banner


Amazon ** Barnes and Noble ** iTunes ** GooglePlay ** Kobo


*Prequel novella to Lure (The Allure Chronicles #1)*


Never agree to a road trip to New Orleans with your roommate. At least not when your roommate is dragging you along while she reconnects with an ex-boyfriend. Possible consequences of failing to take my advice:

1) Unknowingly going out with a vampire stripper
2) Getting kidnapped by said vampire's nest mates
3) Falling head over heels for your winged hero

Believe it or not number 3 is the worst one, especially when no one believes you that he exists.

We wove our way through the crowds. I glanced into the rows of bars and clubs teeming with people dressed in various degrees of costumes. Despite my apprehension of hanging out with someone I barely knew, the excitement seemed to be rubbing off on me. I found myself moving along to the music spilling out of one club when we were momentarily stopped.
“Duncan!” A girl with long blond hair yelled and proceeded to wrap her arms around Duncan’s neck. She was dressed as a pumpkin, if a pumpkin was just a skimpy piece of orange fabric. “Come dancing with us.” She was visibly drunk.
“Oh, hi.” He gave me an apologetic look.
I shrugged. It wasn’t like we were on a date.
“Why aren’t you dressed up? It’s Halloween. You’re supposed to be dressed up.”
He shoved a hand into his back pocket. “How do you know that I’m not dressed up?”
“Laurie!” The girl yelled. “It’s Duncan, the stripper who did Debbie’s party last week.”
Wait. What? Did he strip? Wow, that was pretty surprising. He wasn’t bad looking, but I hadn’t met a male stripper before.
Another girl ran over. This one was appropriately attired. She had an awesome lollipop costume on. She also gave Duncan a hug, so I decided to people watch while I waited. That’s when I saw him. The gorgeous guy from the bar. All six plus feet of his perfectness. This time he was wearing one of those sleeveless white t-shirts that showed off his muscular arms. But it wasn’t his muscles that jumped out the most. It was his beautiful set of black wings. Now that was a costume.
He glanced up just as he passed, and my chest tightened. He looked at me with curiosity for a second before continuing on. Maybe he vaguely remembered my face but didn’t know why. I wasn’t sure what would be worse, if he remembered the humiliating moment, or if he didn’t.
I suddenly felt embarrassed of my cat costume. Were the whiskers too much?
“Daisy?” Duncan called my name and snapped me out of my daze. “Ready?” The girls must have walked off while I was distracted because Duncan was alone watching me. I wondered how obvious my ogling was.
“Yeah, sure.”
Duncan towed me along until he turned into a dark and completely unappealing dive. This was his favorite place? I kept my mouth shut. I didn’t want to offend him. Maybe this was one of those hidden gems you always hear about. Just to be safe I texted Reyna the name of the place as inconspicuously as possible, Grounddiggers.
“Who are you texting?” Duncan asked as we walked through the entrance.
Evidently I wasn’t as inconspicuous as I thought. “Just a friend.” I’m not sure why I didn’t just tell him who it was. I just felt like it was safer not to.
He nodded at a bouncer, who like Duncan was dressed all in black. The bouncer grunted something unintelligible to Duncan. Duncan must have taken the grunt to mean enter because he pulled me further inside.

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes the third romance in the Love Under the Big Sky series, featuring a veteran struggling with PTSD and the one woman who can help him recover—and learn to love again.

Jillian thought she was a city girl through and through; the fast cars, high fashion, and glamour—she loves it all. But when her ex tells her he’s having a baby with his new wife (after Jillian struggled for years to get pregnant), she hightails it back to Montana to cry on the shoulder of her best friend, Cara.

But in truth, Jillian would rather be comforted by someone else…specifically Zack, Cara’s brother-in-law. Zack is a veteran of the Iraq War who came back to the family ranch to raise his preteen son after the boy’s mother took off. He’s struggling to re-establish a relationship with his son, and warding off the demons of PTSD, which still haunt him. The last thing he needs is bold, brassy Jillian…but why can’t he keep his hands off her?

Loving Cara
SEDUCING LAUREN Cover


“Okay, plug them in.”

I run to the porch and plug in the lights, then run back into the front yard to see them.

“Oh, they’re so pretty!”

“Thank God they all work,” he says as he tosses the black shoe down to the ground and then moves carefully down to the ladder. “It would be a bitch to have to take them back down.”

“I checked them,” I assure him, and when his foot finally lands safely on the snow and he turns to me, I hit him on the arm. “You shouldn’t have done that! You took ten years off my life!”

I throw my arms around his torso and squeeze him tightly, then back away.

“No, you shouldn’t have been on that ladder. If I catch you on one again, I’ll spank your ass until it glows.”

My jaw drops as I gaze up into his frustrated face. For once in my life, I’m speechless. I scowl as I pull myself together and clench my fists. “You wouldn’t dare . . .”

“Put yourself in danger again and see if I don’t,” he replies calmly and crosses his arms over his chest.

“Did you come here to bully me?”

He sighs and pulls his beanie off his head, pushing his fingers through the messy brown strands. I want to sink my fingers in that thick, dark hair.

“No. I came because you won’t answer your fucking phone so I can apologize for the other night.”

“I don’t want your apology,” I reply and throw the extra lights and staple gun back into the tote and turn away, but he catches my arm and turns me back to him, takes the tote, and sets it down.

“I’m going to give it anyway.” His jaw is firm. “I had no right to kiss you like that in the parking lot for everyone to see.”

I jerk back, mortified. “You’re apologizing for kissing me?”

She, and so many English writers, like the ones who donate these giveaway's books, are the reason I opened this blog. I wanted to share with my fellow Italian readers what a treasure they should not miss out on!

The titles are:

Brooke Wright has only two goals her senior year at Charity Run High School: stay out of trouble and learn to forgive herself for the past. Forgiveness proves elusive, and trouble finds her anyway when she discovers a secret club at school connected to the death of her best friend. She learns that swim team members participate in a “Fantasy Slut League,” scoring points for their sexual acts with unsuspecting girls.



Brooke, wracked with guilt over her friend’s death, decides to infiltrate the league by becoming one of the “unsuspecting girls,” and exact revenge on the boys who stole away her best friend. An unexpected romance complicates her plans, and her dogged pursuit of justice turns her reckless as she underestimates just how far the boys will go to keep their sex club a secret.



After three years in Boston attending college, Mallory Wells has come home to Casper, Maine to care for her father, who is dying from cancer. She left Casper without looking back, leaving her small-town life and everyone in it, behind. Including her sexy high school sweetheart. 

Luke Bates was devastated when Mallory left him for the city life. He managed to pull himself together and move on, even if only just barely. When Mallory shows up in town, Luke vows to stay away from her at all costs. So why does he keep checking in on her and her father, showing up when he's clearly uninvited? Maybe Luke isn't as 'over her' as he thought.


Jaxon is the guy she’s supposed to avoid.

K.C. is the girl he won’t let get away....

K. C. Carter has always followed the rules—until this year, when a mistake leaves her the talk of her college campus and her carefully arranged life comes crashing to a halt. Now she’s stuck in her small hometown for the summer to complete her court-ordered community service, and to make matters worse, trouble is living right next door.



Jaxon Trent is the worst kind of temptation and exactly what K.C. was supposed to stay away from in high school. But he never forgot her. She was the one girl who wouldn’t give him the time of day and the only one to ever say no. Fate has brought K.C. back into his life—except what he thought was a great twist of luck turns out to be too close for comfort. As the bond between them grows, he discovers that convincing K.C. to get out from her mother’s shadow is hard, but revealing the darkest parts of his soul is nearly impossible.… 


Fate has a way of stepping in and righting itself when we least expect it. 
Maddison Powers has been regretting the biggest mistake of her life when she walked away from the only man who has ever sparked something deep inside her. After comparing every guy she dates to Cale Blackwood, she finally gives up all hope of ever finding him. 



One dare by Maddison throws Cale back into her life...and into the arms of her best friend. 



Cale Blackwood thought he had found the woman of his dreams, until she walked away from him one night and didn't look back. Attempting to find love again, Cale finds himself in a relationship built on one lie after another. Forced to take on the biggest challenge of his life, Cale must seek help from the woman who walked away from him and broke his heart. 

Sometimes it takes more than one journey in life to truly be home.


Tenleigh Falyn struggles each day to survive in a small, poverty-stricken, coal mining town where she lives with her sister and mentally ill mother. Her dream of winning the college scholarship given to one student by the local coal company and escaping the harshness of her life, keeps her going.
Kyland Barrett lives in the hills, too, and has worked tirelessly—through near starvation, through deep loneliness, against all odds—to win the Tyton Coal Scholarship and leave the town that is full of so much pain.
They're both determined not to form any attachments, but one moment changes everything. What happens when only one person gets to win? When only one person gets to leave? And what happens to the one left behind? 
Kyland is a story of desperation and hope, loss and sacrifice, pain and forgiveness, but ultimately, a story of deep and unending love.
