Craving Constellations - Nicole Jacquelyn
Craving Constellations by Nicole Jacquelyn Amazon.it
Brenna is the Aces's Vice President's daughter, a motorcycle club. She's going to college and can't wait to graduate and start a fresh and new life far away from there. She doesn't want this life for her: dating a biker, worring day and night for him to do something illegal, visiting him in prison for years because eventually they would get him. She wants stability, a classical normal life.
During a party at the compound, she meets Dragon, a biker who just got recruited. He's dangerous, rough and arrogant. He needs only a kiss to get her more excited than she's ever been in her life. Even though she doesn't want anything to do with this people, she lets herself go and spend with him an amazing night. After the tons of sex they had, they talk....like real talk. Chemistry is a fact but they also discover how good they are for each other. Dragon, who never chases a woman, was dazzled by Brenna and wants to explore this with her, spending time with her and maybe, when the time is right, put a ring on her finger.
Ops! Seems I forgot to mention something important....is not allowed for recruiters to have sexual intercourse, any kind of intercourse, with The Daughter of the President.....or The Vice President.
Unfortunately, Brenna didn't have the chance to tell it to Dragon. In the early morning, before leaving, she would have told him but her dad arrived and she had to run away.
Five year passed, Dragon never saw that girl again, the only one who could create a future with, a family. She vanished, so he just keeps going on with his life until the day she comes back. He watches her climbing off her car and searching for someone eyes, Poet's ( The Vice President ). She's not the same: she's weak, physically hurt so much she faint in Poet's arms. Wait a minute, how did she call him? Pop??? and who's the baby girl in her car??? she's kind of look familiar.....she looks like.....Dragon!!

Offerta speciale!! Jagged #5 Colorado Mountain Series - Kristen Ashley
Sarò breve e concisa: Jagged, il quinto libro della serie Colorado Mountain
della ormai onnipresente in questo blog Kristen Ashley, è in offerta speciale a € 0,99 formato kindle su Amazon.

Ammetto di averne parlato molto di questa scrittrice ultimamente, ma che ci posso fare se l'adoro incredibilmente e non sono mai stanca delle sue storie e dei suoi meravigliosi personaggi???
Lo stile di questa autrice molto fluido e l'inglese accessibile, quindi non c'è opportunità migliore per incominciare la vostra avventura nel leggere un libro in lingua originale!! Anche se fa parte di una serie più che avviata, potete benissimo iniziarla da questo romanzo. Una delle tante ottime qualità di KA, è saper fare un riassunto esaustivo delle "puntate precedenti" quando pubblica un nuovo libro, senza ripetizioni inutili e spreco di parole per un riepilogo lungo e tedioso. In questo modo, una lettrice che si imbatte in lei per la prima volta e non vuole iniziare per forza la serie dal primo capitolo può benissimo leggere in ordine sparso o dalla copertina che l'attira di più o approfittare di un libro in offerta speciale ;-)
A differenza degli altri romanzi della Colorado Mountain Series, in questa storia non troverete action scenes adrenalinici. Credo sia proprio da Jagged che la scrittrice ha intrapreso una strada diversa, cioè quella di lasciare da parte l'azione e concentrarsi su i rapporti umani, le loro relazioni, cosa gli spinge a comportarsi in un particolare modo e le conseguenze che questo comporta. Non tutte hanno gradito il cambio di rotta, ma io non sono tra quelle, ogni sua nuova pubblicazione è speciale proprio perché è caratterizzato da qualcosa di nuovo. A voi il giudizio!!
Se questa è la prima volta che visitate il mio blog, sappiate che vi informerò sempre se ci sono delle super occasioni per acquistare dei buoni libri ( non solo della KA, promesso!! ) quindi restate in zona ;-)
Trama :
An old flame rekindled . . .
Zara Cinders always knew Ham Reece was the one, but he wasn't interested in settling down. When she found someone who was, Ham walked out of her life. Three years later, Zara's lost her business, her marriage, and she's barely getting by in a tiny apartment on the wrong side of the tracks. As soon as Ham hears about Zara's plight, he's on her doorstep offering her a lifeline. Now, it will take every ounce of will power she possesses to resist all that he offers.
Ham was always a traveling man, never one to settle down in one town, with one woman, for more time than absolutely necessary. But Ham's faced his own demons, and he's learned a lot. About himself, and about the life he knows he's meant to live. So when he hears that Zara's having a rough time, he wants to be the one to help. In fact, he wants to do more than that for Zara. A lot more. But first, he must prove to Zara that he's a changed man
Quotes:
“He’d been her one. It took him years to realize she was his.”
“Seriously, I don’t care if feminists hunt me down and burn me at the stake, that man crooked his finger at me, I’d follow him into a bank and rob it at his side.”
“You love a job, no matter how hard it is, it’s still easy. Not sure, never studied up on the guy, could be wrong, but I reckon Michelangelo didn’t wake up and think, ‘Fuck, I gotta drag my ass outta bed. More painting at the Sistine Chapel. Wish that shit was done so I could get to a fuckin’ beach.”
“Ham was standing at the counter in the kitchen with his head turned, glowering at me.
“New rule. You don’t do that shit when I’m in the house,” he growled and I blinked.
“What shit?”
“You use your toy to get off when I’m not fuckin’ here.”
Oh my God. He heard me.
How humiliating was this?
“Ham--”
“Heard the toy. Head you. Don’t do that again.”
“I--”
“Hear it again, make no mistake, babe, I’ll join you.”

Il nuovo impiego è office manager in un negozio di vendita e riparazioni di moto. Non è molto esperta del settore ma ha voluto rischiare ed è pronta a tutto! Per festeggiare, trascorre la serata con amici in un bar per motociclisti, si stava divertendo quando i suoi occhi incrociano quelli di un biker mozzafiato con pizzetto, tatuaggi a vista e capelli sale e pepe. Era lì davanti ai suoi occhi, finalmente aveva incontrato l'uomo dei sogni. Lui si avvicina e dopo una piacevole conversazione, buttando giù shots di tequila, questo uomo ha il totale controllo sulla sua volontà e non può altro che acconsentire quando le chiede di andare via insieme.
“The perfect I was looking for wasn’t perfection. The perfect I was looking for was the one. And he was you.”
Trascorsa la notte al suo fianco, Tyra è certa di aver fatto la cosa giusta .....quando Tack le chiede non proprio diplomaticamente di sloggiare!!!
Stupefatta e amareggiata di aver preso un granchio colossale, il mattino seguente si dirige verso il suo nuovo posto di lavoro. Rimane senza parole quando scopre che il nuovo capo è l'uomo che le aveva dato una gioia immensa un momento e spezzato il cuore quello dopo. Tack non lavora con donne che ha conosciuto "intimamente" e le dice di girare i tacchi e tornare a casa. Tyra ha bisogno di lavorare e non si lascerà di certo trattare in questo modo...non più almeno...tira fuori il suo caratterino e gli fa capire che quello che è capitato tra di loro è acqua sotto i ponti e non succederà una seconda volta, la loro relazione sarà esclusivamente professionale.
“I will not blush, act like an idiot or a shrew. I will be professional. This is a job. Only a job. He’s my boss. He’s a handsome one but a jerky one and I slept with him, but he’s just my boss. I embrace my inner slut. Sluts wouldn’t blush, act like idiots or shrews. They would just go about their business. Therefore, I am a slut and I am proud,”
Tack, che sa apprezzare quando una donna tira fuori le unghie, decide di assumerla. Rimane piacevolmente colpito dalla sua vivacità e dalle sue forme. Quello che sembrava essere solo un rapporto di lavoro diventa difficile da controllare e Tack, che ottiene sempre quello che vuole, dovrà rimboccarsi le maniche per conquistare la fiducia di Tyra.

Law Man - # 3 Dream Man Series - Kristen Ashley
Mara è una donna indipendente che ha combattuto per costruirsi una vita soddisfacente, lavora sodo, ha affittato un appartamento in una raffinata zona residenziale a Denver. I colleghi e il suo capo sono molto disponibili e i vicini sono diventati i suoi amici, con i quali si organizzano feste e cocktail party. Si considera una donna felice. Il suo carattere timido e riservato non le ha impedito di fare amicizia con i vicini, tutti tranne uno. Il detective Mitch Lawson è attraente, sexy, forte e cambia fidanzata troppo spesso, quindi totalmente irraggiungibile. Purtroppo questo non le ha impedito di innamorarsi di lui al primo sguardo!!
“He started walking our way asking, “Now a good time?” No, no time was a good time for the Ten Point Five I was secretly in love with to be in my apartment.”
Quando il rubinetto si rompe e Mitch si offre di darle una mano, Mara non riesce a opporsi. Come in un sogno, può osservarlo girovagare per il suo appartamento con gli attrezzi da lavoro, ammirare il suo corpo fantastico e ascoltare la sua voce profonda e sensuale.
“He stopped at the door and turned to me. “I’ll be right back.” I nodded, and he disappeared out the door. I stood in my living area in my heels, skirt and blouse from work. Then I wondered if I had time to change before he got back. Then I wondered if he’d notice it if I’d spritzed on perfume when he got back. Then I wondered if I should do a shot or two of vodka before he got back. Then he knocked on my door, which meant he was back.”
A causa di un piccolo fraintendimento, Mara si nasconde dalle attenzioni che Mitch ha iniziato a riservarle, inoltre viene nuovamente coinvolta nei problemi del cugino e questa sono volta sono così seri che la obbligano a prendere con se i suoi due bambini, Billy e Billie. Nella confusione del momento, è solo concentrata a fare la cosa giusta per questi poveri ragazzi e non si rende conto che Mitch è subentrato nella sua vita e deciso a tutti i costi a darle una mano, fa la spesa, compra dei vestitini nuovi e organizza gli orari per andarli a prendere a scuola. Lei è sicura che la generosità proviene dal cuore grande del detective, è una brava persona che aiuta una vicina in difficoltà, quando sarà tutto sistemato, proseguirà la propria vita e tanti saluti. Non può permettersi di sopravvivere ad un cuore spezzato e lasciare che i bambini gli si affezionino, così dopo una profusione di sentiti ringraziamenti, rifiuta la sua disponibilità.Sfortunatamente per lei, i problemi con la legge del cugino sono molto più gravi di quanto potesse immaginare il che significa avere a che fare con la polizia e quindi con Mitch. Non essendoci alternative, Mara accetta l'offerta e insieme crescono i cuginetti. Con il passare del tempo, si sente più a suo agio insieme a lui, questo le consentirà di lasciarsi andare, permettendogli di mostrare la sua vera natura e del perché la timidezza lo ha tenuto lontano per cosi tanto tempo.

Mystery Man - # 1 Dream Man Series - Kristen Ashley
Avete presente il colpo di fulmine? Si può dire che Gwen è rimasta "folgorata" da questo uomo muscoloso e sfrontato che ha solo bisogno di avvicinarsi a lei, senza nemmeno presentarsi, per scioglierla come un gelato al sole e farle trascorrere la più bella notte di passione della sua vita.
“I felt a warm hand on the skin of my lower back. I twisted my neck, looked up and there he was.
I held my breath and he asked, “You comin’ or what?” That was it. That was his pickup line. “You comin’ or what?” I went.”
Il mattino seguente Gwen si sveglia da sola e si rende immediatamente conto che non conosce nemmeno il suo nome....Ok, è stata una scelta azzardata ma lei era assolutamente convinta che non le avrebbe mai fatto del male, si è sentita al sicuro tra le sue braccia. Per più di un anno e mezzo, Gwen e il suo Mystery Man hanno intrapreso un'insolita relazione di incontri notturni, dove la conversazione è alquanto limitata ma l'amore incendiario!! Nonostante Gwen sia consapevole della pazzia delle sue azioni, è più forte di lei tanto da non poterlo mandare via, dentro di se è certa che il suo MM sia l'uomo dei suoi sogni.
Oltre ad una vita sessuale soddisfacente, seppur discutibile, la vita di Gwen è tutt'altro che tranquilla, un matrimonio fallito da superare, una famiglia vivace ma invadente e Ginger, la sorella combinaguai. Quando le fa visita e accenna i suoi problemini illegali, la sorella maggiore che è in lei prende il sopravvento e decide di fare un'indagine per conto suo. Così facendo diventa erroneamente il nuovo bersaglio della malavita di Denver e sarà proprio i questa circostanza che il suo Mystery Man si presenterà a lei, come Cabe Hawk Delgado, comandante di un'organizzazione paramilitare specializzata in sicurezza e operazioni di salvataggio. Gli amanti notturni hanno l'opportunità di conoscersi finalmente alla luce del sole e, mentre Hawk apprezza il caratterino vivace di Gwen, lei non è altrettanto entusiasta del suo essere predominate e protettivo.
“You're bossy, arrogant, intrusive, annoying... " His minor grin amplified. See! Totally unrepentant..."Do I have anything going for me?"
"... you can be sweet, you're a cuddler, and you carried me out of a burning building..."
"I'm a cuddler?" "You spoon." His brows went up. "That's important enough to be on your list?" "Uh... yeah." [He's grinning] "Fuckin' ridiculous what women think is important.”
Tra case date alle fiamme, sparatorie con mitragliatrice e fughe a bordo di Harley Davidson, imparano ad apprezzare pregi e difetti di entrambi e decidono di dare alla loro relazione una possibilità. Più facile a dirsi che a farsi!!!

Axel - Harper Sloan
AXEL ( Corps Security #1 ) by Harper Sloan
Note from the author--This book is intended for a mature reading audience and isn't suitable for younger readers.
I'm not a big fan for eight-pack abdominal cover book , in fact it waited a while in my kindle. Recently I gave it a chance and I read it all in about two days, it's a short novel. Amazon / Smashwords
This is a typical kind of romance:

I'm not a big fan for eight-pack abdominal cover book , in fact it waited a while in my kindle. Recently I gave it a chance and I read it all in about two days, it's a short novel. Amazon / Smashwords
This is a typical kind of romance:
ex-marine alpha man - very sculputed body - amazing in bed - sweet and caring but possessive and rough
“Get over here and give your man some love.”
The main characters are Axel ( how cool is this name??) and Izzy.
They were high school sweethearts, young and naive but they wanted to spend their future together. Then....life happended and they spent 12 years apart in anger and pain. Izzy was so lonely she married an abusive man, Axel felt betrayed and heartbroken convinced she abandoned him. Fate decided to let them meet again and give another chance to live the life they dreamed so much.
Even this is a cheesy romance, serious topic as Izzy's abuse is treated with intelligence.
She's a broken woman who accepts to live her life without true love and an everlasting hole in her heart. She has some really good friends though who want to help her and when she starts moving on, her husband doesn't want to let her go and a man she thought was dead appears in front of her.

Axel, a foster kid, chose a marine career in order to give Izzy and their future family all that would be needed. When he came back home Izzy has disappeared. He searched for her everywhere but then he convinced himself that she was not patient enough to wait for him.
When they meet again, they are not the same people they remembered. She's lost and scared, he's way more bigger and possessive.
“Process? What the hell is there to process? Where are you, Izzy? Not asking you again, and I am not fucking doing this text message shit like a goddamn prepubescent little shit.”
Izzy needs some time to adjust having him in her life again but when she lets him in, hope and a stronger love she ever knew overwhelms her.
“Not one day went by Izzy that my heart didn’t belong to you. To this day there has only been one woman that has and will ever hold it. Fuck, baby but the love I have for you is so fucking strong sometimes, I wonder if it will crush me.”
This is the first book of the Corps Security Series. During the story every characters we meet, Axel's collegues, have their overture which means there will be a lot of more novels to read! Some of them are already published!!! When the writer keeps the story interesting I don't mind to wait for another book. Need to be worth it though ;-) As I said before, this kind of romance setting is too common for my taste but it was a nice read, not oh-my-god-this-book-is-so-good kind of satisfaction but it is well written in an extra easy english, I am very sure to recommend it to all of you.
“Never again, Izzy West. I will never again let anyone take you from me, or anything from us.”
There's a pleasant note from the author at the very beginning of the novel, it might be nice to read it because it will give you an idea how the writer inteded to address this book. You also find a complete playlist to listen during the reading!!!
"some songs mean more than others, some just made me smile and some made me feel"

Non ho ancora avuto modo di leggerlo quindi non posso farne una recensione accurata ma ve lo consiglio ad occhi chiusi!! Scrive in un inglese semplice (potete constatarlo voi stesse dagli estratti del libro gentilmente forniti dalla autrice!) quindi si presta a ogni tipo di lettrice.In questa storia d'amore si parla di un argomento molto delicato e sfortunatamente molto comune tra le persone OCD ( obsessive-compulsive disorder ), è stato affrontato con cura e delicatezza dalla scrittrice. Ha pubblicato un Post sul suo blog molto interessate che vi invito a leggere, vi darà un'idea con quanta serietà lavori questa autrice.
Ecco un pò di teasers per prepararci a quello che sarà la lettura di questo romanzo!! Io personalmente non vedo l'ora di immergermi in questo nuovo capolavoro!!!!

Lick - Kylie Scott
"No," I said, swallowing hard. "What did we do last night?"
"We got fucking married," he growled.
Queste sono le premesse del romanzo Lick di Kylie Scott!! Link per Amazon
Si tratta di un libro molto divertente la cui storia d'amore ha un contesto un pò diverso dal solito ma sempre suggestivo per noi inguaribile romantiche figlie degli anni 80 dove il rock e roll aveva un fascino irresistibile! Dal punto di vista dell'inglese, non ritengo sia una sfida per le principianti, la trama è molto semplice , i dialoghi rendono la lettura scorrevole. Accessibile a tutte !
Evelyn si sveglia in una stanza d'albergo, che non ricorda di aver prenotato, sul pavimento del bagno, ma non sa come ci sia arrivata, di fianco ad un super sexy ragazzo senza maglietta ricoperto di tatuaggi, che non ha mai visto prima, con un gigantesco diamante al dito di cui non ha assolutamente idea come ne è entrata in possesso.....
“It’s not fair that you remember and I don’t.”
“No,” he said, his voice hard, cold, in a way I hadn’t heard it. He looked over at me, jaw set. “It’s not fair that I remember and you don’t, Evelyn.”

Hearts in Darkness - Laura Kaye
Love In An Elevator Livin' it up when I'm goin' down
Love In An Elevator Lovin' it up till I hit the ground
Love In An Elevator Lovin' it up till I hit the ground
Così cantavano gli Aereosmith! Era la canzone che mi suonava nella mente mentre leggevo questo libro! Hearts in Darkness di Laura Kaye è un libro che appartiene ad un genere di profondo romance che sfocia leggermente nell'erotica,l'inglese è semplice quindi si tratta di una lettura facile facile!!!!
Analizziamo un momento il titolo: letteralmente significa cuori nell'oscurità. La storia si svolge, per buona parte del romanzo, dentro un ascensore. Makenna ha terminato la sua giornata di lavoro e sta freneticamente entrando in ascensore non guardando dove sta andando o chi le sta intorno, i suoi occhi sono fissi sul cellulare. Alza distrattamente lo sguardo e ha solo una frazione di secondo per rendersi conto che non è da sola mentre le luci si spengono e l'ascensore si blocca.
Makenna James thinks her day can't get any worse, until she finds herself stranded in a pitch-black elevator with a complete stranger. Distracted by a phone call, the pin-striped accountant catches only a glimpse of a dragon tattoo on his hand before the lights go out.
Four hours…
Caden Grayson is amused when a harried redhead dashes into his elevator fumbling her bags and cell phone. His amusement turns to panic when the power fails. Despite his piercings, tats, and vicious scar, he's terrified of the dark and confined spaces. Now, he's trapped in his own worst nightmare.
One pitch-black elevator…
To fight fear, they must reach out and open up. With no preconceived notions based on looks to hold them back, they discover just how much they have in common. In the warming darkness, attraction grows and sparks fly, but will they feel the same when the lights come back on?

Unbroken di Melody Grace - Versione in lingua originale a € 0,72 ( sorry ma non esiste ancora una versione in italiano! ) Ecco il link per Amazon
Un paio di informazioni al volo:
La trama è abbastanza coinvolgente, il livello di difficoltà dell'inglese è basso, personalmente non l'ho trovato molto scorrevole ma il libro è breve quindi non risulta pesante. Ammetto di averlo letto di fretta e non sono stata molto presa dalla storia ma tutto sommato l'ho trovato sufficientemente gradevole. Considerando l'offerta, lo consiglio !!!
TRAMA:
"Mom always told me there are two kinds of love in this world: the steady breeze, and the hurricane. Emerson Ray was my hurricane...."
Juliet McKenzie was an innocent eighteen-year old when she spent the summer in Beachwood Bay—and fell head over heels in love with Emerson. Complicated, intense Emerson, the local bad boy. His blue eyes hid dark secrets, and just one touch could set Juliet ablaze. Their love was demanding and all-consuming, but when summer ended, tragedy tore them apart. Juliet swore she’d never go back, and she’s kept that promise… Until now.
Four years later, Juliet’s done her best to rebuild the wreckage of her shattered life. She’s got a great boyfriend, and a steady job planned after she graduates. Returning to Beachwood to pack up her family’s beach house to prepare it for sale, Juliet is determined that nothing will stand in the way of her future. But one look from Emerson, and all her old desire comes flooding back. He let her go once, but this time, he’s not giving up without a fight. And Emerson fights dirty.
A heartbreaking history. An unstoppable passion. Torn between her past and future, Juliet struggles to separate love from desire. But will they find a way to overcome their tragic secrets—together? And after so much damage has been done, can a love remain unbroken?

Juliet McKenzie was an innocent eighteen-year old when she spent the summer in Beachwood Bay—and fell head over heels in love with Emerson. Complicated, intense Emerson, the local bad boy. His blue eyes hid dark secrets, and just one touch could set Juliet ablaze. Their love was demanding and all-consuming, but when summer ended, tragedy tore them apart. Juliet swore she’d never go back, and she’s kept that promise… Until now.
Four years later, Juliet’s done her best to rebuild the wreckage of her shattered life. She’s got a great boyfriend, and a steady job planned after she graduates. Returning to Beachwood to pack up her family’s beach house to prepare it for sale, Juliet is determined that nothing will stand in the way of her future. But one look from Emerson, and all her old desire comes flooding back. He let her go once, but this time, he’s not giving up without a fight. And Emerson fights dirty.
A heartbreaking history. An unstoppable passion. Torn between her past and future, Juliet struggles to separate love from desire. But will they find a way to overcome their tragic secrets—together? And after so much damage has been done, can a love remain unbroken?

Raw - Belle Aurora
A little personal anecdote on this book:
11.00 pm, I was in bed reading, almost at the end of the book, my husband next to me watching tv. I was very relaxed because I was getting how the book would end....then I finished it. In that moment I was rushing out of the bed saying very loud, and very inappropriate considering how late it was, " what the f**k??" my hubby looked at me like I was crazy so I told him all about this book!!! Poor guy...he listened but he did give it a damn...he's the sweetest!
That was a warning about this author!! when you think is all predictable...she changes it all!! she's amazing that's why she's in my top 5 !!!
This is Raw by Belle Aurora.
***Author Note: This is not a love story. This is a story of love gone wrong.***
Growing up the way I did, you’d think I’d be more screwed up than what I actually am. Soon as I turned sixteen, I left that bump in the road I called home and took my chances on the street. Best decision I ever made.
Now, at the age of twenty six, I’m educated, employed and damn good at my job. My friends have become my family. Like me, they know what it’s like to grow up unloved.
But the saying is true. The world makes way for those who know where they are going. That’s me.
I know where I’m going and I’ll get there eventually. On my own terms and at my own pace. But then there’s him.
I feel his eyes on me. I see him hiding in plain sight. He watches me. He makes me feel. It’s unconventional. But it’s real. I’m sure you’re wondering how a person falls in love with their stalker. So am I. This isn’t a story. This is my life
Lexi is a social worker with a heavy background. She wants to do something real in helping people avoid what she beared. She has a big heart but sometimes she's full of contradictions, she thinks in a way then do in another. That's because people experiment, they try something new, never thought it might be interesting. She thinks she knows the world and how it works....boy, how she's wrong and how she will know it!! but this give her a chance to know herself from a new prospective.
“There’s something about having your choices taken from you that is equally liberating and frightening. Handing over control to a person is a big deal. A showing of trust. And sometimes, I would like to be taken on a ride rather than drive.”
“I don't want a knight in shining armor. I don't want a knight in scuffed armor.
I want his helmet to have dents. I want my knight to be real, and dark and savage. I want my knight to be a survivor. Someone who's been tested and got through his trails. Not some pussy in gleaming metal.”
Raw: ( emotions/qualities ) strong and natural emotions but not completley developed or controlled -
( language ) containing a lot o sexual details - ( descriptions ) giving the unpleasant facts, without trying to make them more acceptable
This is a vague idea of Twitch's personality!!! He obviously has some major issuses. His life was so brutal it changed him completely but he found his way and very proud of it. He feels he misses something and mistakes it with vengence. His vicious anger makes him take some really bad decisions. In the end he only wants to be loved for what he is, don't we all??
This is an erotic/romace novel. Please don't mistake it for a cheesy chick flick story - boy meets girl,they fall in love and do it a loooot everywhere in every position, declaring how crazy are about each other!
Sex is present....very present....some like it hot or sweet or rough or kinky....we are not born with tastes, we find them during that trip called life and it could be we find we like it very kinky!!!!!

The Duff - Kody Keplinger
Quante volte vi è capitato di uscire con le vostre amiche, andare a fare shopping insieme, chiacchierare con loro tra i banchi di scuola, mangiare un panino al fast food....e all'improvviso rendersi conto di essere quella con qualche kg in più, la meno carina, quella non vestita alla moda e con poco trucco sul viso??
L'età della crescita non perdona e tanto meno i propri coetanei...soprattutto se sono maschi e magari super carini e circondati sempre da belle ragazze, ogni giorno una diversa. Peggio ancora se si viene avvicinati da un ragazzo simile ed è lui stesso a chiedere di stare al suo gioco e chiacchierare perché così facendo le amiche carine saranno commosse dal suo "pietoso" gesto di parlare con la bruttina o per meglio dire THE DUFF. Nel dettaglio, sarebbe la ragazza meno attraente di tutti, che i maschi considerano per ultima ( se si accorgono di lei ) e che rimane in disparte mentre le altre si divertono a ballare nei locali.
Non posso nemmeno immaginare l'umiliazione di sentirsi chiamare cosi ma è quello che succede in questo libro a Bianca Piper dal "womanizer" Wesley Rush. Siccome la nostra protagonista ha un carattere tosto, la sua reazione è quella di rovesciargli addosso un bicchere di Cherry Coke lasciandolo così a bocca aperta
“You're a disgusting, shallow, womanizing jackass, and I hope that soda stains your preppy little shirt." Just before I marched away, I looked over my shoulder and added, "And my name isn't Duffy. it's Bianca. we've been in the same homeroom since middle school, you selfabsorbed son of a bitch.” ( un applauso per Bianca!!). Frequentando la stessa High School e lo stesso locale, gli incontri sono frequenti e poco piacevoli.“Spanish, huh?" he said, glancing down at the scattered papers as he grabbed them. "Can you say anything interesting?""El tono de tu voz hace que queria estrangularme." I stood up and waited for him to hand over my papers."That sounds sexy," he said, getting to his feet and handing me the stack of Spanish work he'd swept together. "What's it mean?"
"The sound of your voice makes me want to strangle myself." "Kinky.”
"The sound of your voice makes me want to strangle myself." "Kinky.”
Vivendo una situazione familiare complicata, Bianca vuole solo distrarsi e non pensare, Wesley è sorprendentemente disponibile nell'aiutarla. Incomincia così una "amicizia di interesse" che porterà i due protagonisti a conoscersi e imparare che spesso la prima impressione non è quella che conta.

Escaping Destiny - Amelia Hutichins
Title: Escaping Destiny ( The Fae
Chronicles #3)
Author: Amelia Hutchins
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Publication: February 17, 2014
Hosted by: For
The Love of Books
I thought things couldn't get worse. I
was wrong.
I found out what I really wanted and was
forced to give him up. Just as I found out who I really am, I was presented to
the elusive Horde King as a gift.
This was the mystical being I was hidden
from for more than twenty years.
Although Ryder promised to save me, I
couldn't let him get near this creature, so I willingly (sort of) signed myself
over to be his new plaything.
Now in the Horde Realm, nothing is going
remotely like I thought it would.
My powers and emotions are on the fritz,
and each day seems to bring surprises that I am not sure how to deal with.
The Horde King thinks he has me exactly
where he wants me. He thinks he has taken all of my options
away. I still have choices. Embracing what destiny has planned for
me, or escaping it.
First of all, I want to thank Mrs Amelia Hitchins and "For the love of books" girls who provided me my ARC ( advance review copy ), they have been very nice to me and this is a great honor.
I seriously loved this book!!! This series is amazing and cherished very much all of it. do you need to refresh your memory? here's the link for the first and second book .
The author confirms her ability to surprise me keeping this story intriguing and exciting. I really don't want spoiler anything here...so I just write that for Syn and Ryder things are getting a little bit more complicated!!! Some secrets are discovered but some shadows still remain. when everything seems settled for them to start living their life together, growing a relationship, exploring what they feel for each other...some accidents happen and drift them apart. This is not an easy journey for them, suffer and pain are always to be found but this is a strong couple, they match and they have the same goals and want to fight together.
Syn is a warrion princess, she fights and loves with every cell of her body and heart, she beared a lot of troubles, her life changed suddenly and she's trying very hard to adjust. She wants to do the right thing but not sacrifice her heart. Her funny spirit never falter though!!
Ryder is an awesome male alpha character, at first sight he may seem shallow and selfish but he fights for what is important for him and Faery...his methods are peculiar but he get results, his army respect him and he knows his people depend on him. Big applause for the sex scenes!!! damn, this author knows what she's doing ;-)
Love, anger, passion, betrayal, lust and magic!!! you can find that in this book and so much more!!!

Entreat Me - Grace Draven
Beauty and the Beast. A wonderful story, a delicate sweet-dreams fairy tale. This is not the case of Entreat Me by Grace Draven. Foget the disney movie with dancing tea cups and all the singing stuff, this book is not for children at all. This story has been abused lately, a tv-show, a movie ( Vincent Cassel....come.on.!!) but please don't misunderstand it for a commercial pretext. This self-publishing author is not following the flow, she is writing in spite of it hoping we could appreciate it, I really did and hope you do too.
Afflicted by a centuries-old curse, a warlord slowly surrenders his humanity and descends toward madness. Ballard of Ketach Tor holds no hope of escaping his fate until his son returns home one day, accompanied by a woman of incomparable beauty. His family believes her arrival may herald Ballard's salvation....until they confront her elder sister.
Determined to rescue her sibling from ruin, Louvaen Duenda pursues her to a decrepit castle and discovers a household imprisoned in time. Dark magic, threatening sorcerers, and a malevolent climbing rose with a thirst for blood won't deter her, but a proud man disfigured by an undying hatred might. Louvaen must decide if loving him will ultimately save him or destroy him.
A tale of vengeance and devotion
How powerful can be a curse casted by a woman's hatred and vengeance in her deathbed. Four hundred years passed, Ballard and his son Gavin still suffered from it during magical flux, it causes them such a pain to even lose their humanity and sanity. They decided to live isolated, sure there is no hope for them to change their condition.
When Gavin meets Cinna and, in order to save her from a deceitful marriage, brings her to Ketach Tor, father and son start believing again. But this is not a curse that can be break with a kiss. Louven can't allow her sister spending an entire winter alone with strangers where there's a gentleman courting her, so she decides to follow and stay with her. Ballard and Louvaen finally meet and they are not what they expect from each other. The sisters will play an important role for the Lord of the castle and his heir.
