   #1  New York Times  bestselling author Colleen Hoover returns with a new heart-wrenching love story. When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn't think it's love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her. Never ask about the past. Don’t expect a future. They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all. Hearts get infiltrated. Promises get broken. Rules get shattered. Love gets ugly. 

Right off I feel the need to tell you that this is a bit darker subject matter than I expected. It deals with adults who were, in different ways, victims of a child abuse ring in a small town. The story unfolds bit by bit and can be very heavy reading at times. Also, this is book two in a series, and if you haven’t read book one it’s okay; however I found myself lost at times and I am sure that reading book one would have cleared up a lot for me. So yes, I recommend reading book one first. The write up and blurb is mostly about Adam. For me, though, it felt more about Lana. What she has been through in the last twenty years to keep a friends secret safe and believing she is responsible for the death of another.   Coming home isn’t what she wants to do, but it’s the right thing to do when the past resurfaces. Adam has pined for the girl he loved in secret for years, so when she comes home and he realizes who the beautiful stranger is, all bets are off. Both have suffered wi

There is just something magical about a couple who meet in childhood and fall in love, but the cruel world in which Thronos and Lanthe live would never permit that love to blossom into more than the short-lived childhood encounters. Centuries have passed, and through them, the virginal Thronos has chased his fated mate. Lanthe has run away into the arms of many. Thronos is left cold, unfeeling, and broken from the fall Lanthe pushed him into, and to never recover from. It's true Kresley Cole folks! It’s cat and mouse, love and hate, lust and distaste all rolled up into one amazing read. I really do love the way I can fall right back into her world: seamlessly and still knowing what's going on. With so many books in the series it can become easy to get lost. Cole has the ability to make each book memorable in its own right. Dark Skye is a page turning adventure. Not only in action, but in a boulder-to-the-head realization that tolerance and acceptance is key, in

When testing an enemy for weaknesses, prepare for things to get hard. Bryn Cavanaugh and her coven like that the community they live in is isolated thanks to a storm that destroyed the bridge between them and the outside world. Now the state wants the bridge rebuilt. When the construction crew checks into the inn, Bryn begins to suspect something about the crew’s boss isn’t quite…human. Bridges are Ethan Thorne’s thing—after all, he’s a troll—so building a simple span over a remote canal in backwater Louisiana shouldn’t be this much of a problem. When he follows the pretty little innkeeper to a midnight rendezvous, he discovers why his crew keeps running in to trouble. Bryn and her coven are casting spells in the moonlight. As a troll, Ethan feels the sting of his low place in demon hierarchy. But finding an unprotected coven of witches in the middle of the bayou could lead to all sorts of adventure.

Title: Three Years (Gypsy Brothers, #5) Author: Lili St. Germain Publication Date: July 20, 2014

One of the best romantic suspense I have read this year. From what I gather this is a Troubleshooters spinoff series . I have only read Brockmann’s Fighting Destiny series but am a huge fan of her writing style. So when I saw Do or Die up in the galley’s I had to jump on it. I am so glad I did guys. I laughed till I cried, turned pages at break neck speed and did the smirky smile too many times to count. This is why I read people. That feeling you get when a book ends and you just keep reliving it in your mind over and over. Going back and rereading parts to make sure, in your fervor to find out what happens next, you didn’t miss anything.                                                      The side characters are all well written and I am beside myself to see who will be the focus of book two. There are so many great options. Do or Die is a great ensemble read. No one is a throw away character. All become part of the fabric woven on the page, sigh….. What can I say other
