Title: Only for You (For You #1)

Author: Genna Rulon

Genre: New Adult

Publication Date: September 24, 2013

Event organized by: Literati Author Services, Inc.

“In its purest form love is self-sacrificing, eternal, selfless, enduring, truthful, forgiving and indulgent. It also feels an awful lot like a kick to the stomach when you try to fight it!“

All Everleigh Carsen wanted to do was complete her final semester at Hensley University and begin the life she carefully planned.

When a wave of violent crime seizes campus, Everleigh is persuaded to attend a school sponsored self-defense seminar by her best friend, where she meets volunteer instructor, Hunter Charles. After Everleigh’s biting sarcasm induces Hunter to eject her from class, a tempestuous relationship is born.

Everleigh is determined to forget the striking man, but fate–that fickle shrew–continuously intervenes. Unable to escape him, she declares Hunter an enemy combatant. The only complication… Hunter is resolutely pursuing vindication…by any means necessary. Verbal warfare ensues, and despite Everleigh’s ingenious efforts, in Hunter, she has finally found her equal.

Only For You is a compelling tale of friendship, desire, and redemption--brimming with intelligent characters, witty dialogue, unexpected twists, profound sorrow, unfettered hope, and love’s unassailable perseverance.

Note: Although this is series, each novel can be read as a stand alone.

My Thoughts:

I'm a sucker for Novels or series that are about college life. This one was no exception. I was immediately pulled in by the end of the first chapter. Everleigh was an awesome character. She was smart, sexy, witty, and playful. I loved her personality.
Hunter, OMG! He is probably one of my all time favorite male lead characters. The way Genna describes him, makes me want to go out and see if he actually real. ;) 

So, the story is about a chain of crimes that is taking place at Everliegh's college. Her best friends and room mate then convinces her that they should probably take self defense classes just in case. The first class is where Everleigh's and Hunter's friendship forms. He throws her out of the class because she is cracking jokes to her friend. Everleigh is more surprised when Hunter shows up in one of her business classes. Everleighs witty personality is what really strikes up their friendship, until Everleigh falls for him. The problem? Hunter will not open up to the idea of him and her ever having a relationship. 

I rate this book 5 Book Marks! It is most definately a MUST READ.

Synopsis

Hope Trahan has everything she wants and everyone she needs…except her sister and someone who really is deserving of her. Who knew two separate events would turn everything completely upside down?

She holds things she wishes she could let go of. Wesley just may hold the key to helping her overcome it all. Can he win her over and help mend her broken walls or will her past hold her down?

Excerpt

“Excuse me ladies.” The voice comes from nowhere and I look around spotting Amber first with her jaw on the ground. She’s speechless, this never happens with her. My eyes roam to find what’s got her in a comatose state and standing right in front of us is a guy in Wranglers so tight it should be a crime and a baby blue dress shirt with those snap buttons. This guy is playing this cowboy part a little too seriously. His boots are even worn like they are the only pair of shoes he owns. Oh brother, is he kidding me? I roll my eyes while Amber's jaw is still on the floor.

She slowly closes her mouth and manages a weak smile. “Hi.”

My eyes feel like they are constantly rolling, this is a damn joke. We’re next at the concession stand and I lean forward asking for a Bud Light. The girl hands me a big plastic cup filled to the brim. Thank you God. I take a big sip letting the cool liquid slide down my throat. I look back to see he’s still standing there and he’s looking at me. Practically staring. His green eyes are sparkling like emeralds and it takes a second before I’m able to tear mine away.

“I’m Wesley.” That drawl in his voice is almost making me swoon but I stop it. He extends his hand out to me. I can practically hear Amber scoff and I’m agreeing with her. Why isn't this guy talking to her? I am no where near ready to speak to another guy.

Baffled, I just stand there trying to decipher what’s going on. “I’m Amber, this is Hope.” Amber interjects and I shoot daggers at her begging her to shut up. She’s smiling, and I know exactly what she’s doing.

“Nice to meet you Hope. I won’t bite, I swear. I may nibble and that’s it.” Oh man Wesley sure has some nerve! I’m rolling my eyes again and I’m really praying he doesn't notice because I’m not trying to be rude.

“Nice to meet you too,” I mumble.

“I hope you like the rodeo tonight.” He says never taking his emerald green eyes away from mine. The intensity of his stare takes my breath away.

Wild Chase by L.A. Bressett Blog Tour & Giveaway

                                         Title:  Wild Chase, Book #1 in the Vengeful Honor Series

                                         Author:  L.A. Bressett

                                         Release Date:  September 14, 2013

                                         Genre:  Contemporary Romance

Synopsis

"Music is a Moral Law, It Give Soul to the Universe" - Plato

Sometimes it doesn't matter how long you know a person. The effect they can have on you can happen after four seconds or four years.

In Chase Taylor's case - it's both.

Avery McGuire doesn't just flip on a light inside of her - he set a blaze to everything holding her back. After only a week together he has to leave, but he strikes a match before walking away that won't easily burn out.

Four years later, Chase finds herself face to face with the boy - now rock star - who changed everything. The same one she still can't admit to falling head over heels in love with. She has no idea that her world is about to get rocked, in more ways than one.

Christine's Review

Who doesn't love a rocker book?... Hmm, That's what I thought! So, if you haven't read Wild Chase yet, what are you waiting for? You will not be disappointed. 

First, I must say that I couldn't believe that this was the authors first book, she writes wonderfully. The story flowed perfectly and was captivated from the beginning and I instantly fell in love with Chase and Avery.

It starts where Chase is not really the girl she inspires to be due to her very strict parents. She lies to her parents that she will be sleeping over her best friend Vic's house but has other plans. Chase and Avery meet each other in the bar that night and have an instant connection. Unfortunately, Avery has to leave after only one week together. 

Four years later, Chase is a new women... with purple hair and tattoos, inspiring to a musician. She ends up at a photo shoot for Avery's band but doesn't want him to know it's her so she goes by Melanie. Once Avery discovers its her, "his Chase" the connection is still there but unfortunately they can't be together and doesn't let the rest of the guys of Vengeful Honor know its her as well. Jesse, Avery's best friend and band mate has his eye on "Melanie"...this is where things get interesting. 

Sorry, that's as all your getting out of me about that...you need to go pick up your copy to find out the rest. Let's just say it gets HOT and you will laugh and you might even cry but it is one amazing ride. 

I give Wild Chase 5 Book Marks, this is a must read!! I cannot wait for the next book in this series, I love those boys of Vengeful Honor. 

Excerpt

Angie yells out that she is going to take a minute to look over a few shots and figure out what she wants to shoot next. A few people come over to touch up our makeup and rearrange a few limbs while we wait.

"I'm pretty sure that I had this exact dream last night," Adam chokes out when Vic is told to move. She drapes a long leg across his, and wraps an arm around his chest.

I hear my friend giggle, "I bet you did. I star in a lot of dreams; at least that’s what I'm told."

Almost instantly, Avery speaks up.

"Where are you from, Victoria?"

My friend hesitates a whole second, and then answers proudly, "Texas. Born and raised."

Jesse busts out laughing, "Oh god, don't tell Avery that! He has an obsession with that state."

Avery's body tenses slightly underneath me.

"I do not have an obsession."

Kennedy finally breaks his silence, "Dude, you kind of do. I get it. The southern accent is kind of hot."

Victoria's smile lights the room as she turns in Kennedy's direction and winks at him. Suddenly, the gleam forming in her eye begins to worry me.

"Well it must be your lucky day, Melanie there is a Texan, too," Vic states playfully, in a move that I can only assume is one to reveal me. The anger in me starts to rise as I picture strangling her pretty neck right here on the green screen. They could even CGI in some explosions afterward for dramatic effect, but I was about to kill me a model.

Avery's eyes soften as he looks over at me and whispers, "I'm not obsessed, but your home state is, well it’s pretty amazing."

Something in his words tugs at my heart. Thankfully, we are interrupted by an intern as it’s my turn for a touch up. Insisting I stay put in his lap, they quickly do it right there, pinning me in the most awkward moment of my life for just a minute longer. When they finish, I stand up quickly, needing a moment to breath. I lean down to fix the heel of my shoe, or at least that’s my excuse.

"No way! Can I see that?" Jesse asks from close behind me. I turn to see him now standing beside Avery.

"Who me? See what?" I ask anxiously.

"The tattoo on your back. What is it, wings?" Jesse inquires with a wicked sparkle in his eyes.

I blush slightly, "Yeah, those are wings."

Avery's eyes fall on my face and he stares hard.

Too hard.

More Than Her by Jay McLean cover reveal

Title: More Than Her

Author: Jay McLean

Release Date: end of Nov / Early December

"For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction."

For every choice you make there are rewards, 

or there are consequences.

It was my choice to walk away the first time.

And my choice to chase her the second.

But sometimes you don't get a choice, 

and all you get are the consequences.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, 

while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

Unless that someone is Logan Matthews. 

Because loving him didn't give me 

the strength to walk away.

It didn't give me 

the courage to fight for him.

And when it was over, 

                                                           all it gave me was a broken heart.

More than Her is book 2 in the More series. To purchase the first book, click the links below.
