The Mighty Storm by Samantha Towle

The Mighty Storm

"Jake Wethers, sexy, tattooed and deliciously bad lead singer, and brains behind The Mighty Storm, one of biggest bands in the world, left Tru with a broken heart when he moved from England to America with his family when they were both fourteen.

Sent to interview Jake for her music column by the magazine she works for, they are both unprepared for the sparks that fly the instant they reconnect. Only, there's a complication to their instant feelings for one another - Will, Tru's boyfriend of two years."

This book has it all. I didn't know one can write a book like this. It has the rock star love triangle like Kellan and Kiera in Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens. It has the angst like The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher. And the love you so much I'll do anything for you love like Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire. And I LOVE all those three books. The Mighty Storm is sure my new favorite! (And hopefully, yours? :)

The New Deputy in Town

The New Deputy in Town by B.J. Daniels

This story was set in Whitehorse, a small town in Montana with only a population of 50! And there were soooo much going on.
Geraldine Shaw's murder. An after-hours bar assault. 19 chicken disappearance. Nick Rogers, the new deputy sheriff was covering shifts for Sheriff Carter Jackson who returned from Florida to find his jail full and a dead man at the bottom of a swimming pool.

Amazon categorized it as contemporary romance. This book has romance in it. An intense one. I'm not arguing about it. But definitely more suspense material too.
I had to come back and look at product detail if I picked up the wrong book. Again, not complaining. More like a surprise. A nice surprise, of course. :)

Pride and Pleasure by Sylvia Day

Pride and Pleasure

I bought this book because I read Sylvia Day's Bared to You and love it.
The story was set back to 1818 so I wasn't sure how I would find it. I first skimmed through it and only stop where it caught my interest. After about 40% of the book, I had to start reading from the beginning again. I couldn't waste knowing I have skipped any word, any line, any part of the characters encounters and smart mouth remarks. I like the language. Historical Romance. Ah.. timeless >.<

Jasper Bond was a handsome thief-taker. He's what Eliza needed. Miss Eliza Martin, a wealthy, smart, independent young lady needed protection, investigation, and a suitor. With some twists at the end of the book. Entertaining. :)

Bait by Annie Nicholas

Bait

It was these fierce blue eyes on the cover and 4.5 stars from 33 reviews that got me to read this book and man, it didn't disappoint.

Connie Bence, a widow who broadcasted her grieve and pain was a live bait. This time her target was Rurik, a delicious, hunky, make-me-swoon, the Overlord vampire of Budapest.

Rulik. The lovable, passionate, and understanding vampire. These vampires are burnt in the sunlight. They bleed. But they heal. They heal after injuries. And they feed on human blood.

This book has everything. Romance, vampire details, twisted plots, betrayal, and a fight. I myself had given it 5 stars.

Wraith

Wraith

Wraith by Edie Claire

Kali and Zane. She sees shadows and he was one. A hot surfer boy shadow.
I thought the plot was so predictable. But her story telling made me doubt if I was right. That the ending would be like I expected. It kept me reading.
I wondered if I would find the exact place and location in Oahu, Hawaii.
And man, does it go with what I've heard before.. all the time that she wondered why her senses became more sharp and why she saw much more shadows there. The answer I had in my mind, Hawaii is closest to Hell.

Neville Chamberlain aka City, the hot banker and Marie Catherine Talarico from a well-known mafia family in Chicago. Tattooed her four life mistakes to her torso and about to make it five. And he's using his artistic ability to win her.
In 'About the Author' section, it mentions 'Ruthie abhors an epilogue and insists a decent romance requires at least three good sex scenes.'
Hmm.. I hope that's enough clue to get you to know what you're up to. ;)

9. Don't You Remember by Lana Davison

I'm so not use to the main characters in love at the beginning of the books. It makes me paranoid and keep looking for when the disaster would come.

Such a tease!!

10. The Reluctant Dom

Kaden is dying, but before he goes he has one problem to solve--he must ask his oldest and dearest friend, Seth, to take over as Dom and Master to his beloved wife, Leah. 

[Menage and More: Erotic Consensual BDSM Menage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, public exhibition, spanking, flogging, whipping, sex toys, HEA for M/F]

 This book is sex heavy. But it's something else too. It's the book that made me cry. It's so predictable. Yet the tear flowing was so inevitable.

11. Private Party by Jami Alden

Julie Driscoll chose to have an amazing rebound sex with the groom's best man, Chris Dennison. And decided to pursue this no string friend with benefit relationship with him at his luxury resort in the Caribbean.  

12. Defying the Odds (Battered Hearts) by Kele Moon

Clay Powers and Melody

13. Kiss of an Angel by Janelle Denison.

Caitlan, a guardian angel was sent to protect her soul mate, J.T. Rafferty. Beautiful story. Beautiful love. Their love was so strong.

"Between you keeping the medallion and me moping around heaven, Christopher and Mary decided to put us both out of our misery. "

I feel a little bit bad for Johny though. That he had to go through all these and thought he was insane. Amanda could have just kept it to herself. What good would it do if they can't be together?

14. Preservation by Rachel Wade

She already had me at acknowledgment. She clearly is a fan of Fifty!! >.<The SHOUTY CAPITALS. And the Laters. She even signed off as Rachel Grey. >.<  If she loves Fifty. She must be good. And her book must be too. Can't wait to jump on it to read!!
