FIRST LOOK - Thoughtful by S.C. Stephens - 6+ rock stars

Title: Thoughtful (Thoughtless 1.5)
Author: S.C. Stephens
Release Date: February 24, 2015


FIRST LOOK - Thoughtful by S.C. Stephens - 6+ rock stars
Thoughtful (Thoughtless, #1.5)Thoughtful by S.C. Stephens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I need a shot of tequila, a Xanax, 32 oz. coffee, a cold shower, and the willpower to pick up another book after reading Thoughtful 1.5 by SC Stephens. OMG…I’m ruined after reading this book.  Thoughtful rocked my world and has shaken me to my core.  Welcome to Kellan 2.0!!!

I knew Kiera and Kellan’s story from reading Thoughtless--but Kellan’s POV was just brilliant.  I am a ball of emotional wreckage and never expected THIS.  Getting inside Kellan’s head was beyond epic and just sweet torture. He was so passionate, engaging and oh so effing HOT. Maybe off the charts Chernobyl nuclear reactor hot would cover it. I knew what Kiera went through, but to see and feel Kellan’s story was incredible. Please don't think for a millisecond that S.C. Stephens simply regurgitated the other books in this series in order to create a POV book and it’s the same story. It's not...it’s BETTER! I feel like I read Thoughtless for the first time (remember that feeling S.C Stephens fans?). You thought you loved Kellan before...you just wait and see how THOUGHTFUL he really is.

Hands down this is the Best POV book I have ever read. 6+ rock stars.

Full review to follow closer to release date.

Spoiler-free review

Pam Godwin spins an intricate web of sex, lies, mayhem and murder in her latest book Dirty Ties. Family bonds will be tested in the underground down and dirty street bike racing and corporate worlds.   Who needs The Fast & The Furious (remember that movie?) when you can read about the fast and the murderous.  From the boardroom to the street, this fast paced sexy story of revenge and romance is a page turner. Bravo Pam.

Author bio →

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, their two children, and a foulmouthed parrot. When she ran away, she traveled fourteen countries across five continents, attended three universities, and married the vocalist of her favorite rock band.

Java, tobacco, and dark romance novels are her favorite indulgences, and might be considered more unhealthy than her aversion to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.

COVER REVEAL - The Summer Remains by Seth King

I'm excited to read The Summer Remains by Seth King.  I just added this one to my reading list.  Check it out.


Title: The Summer Remains
Author: Seth King
Release Date: February 14, 2015

SYNOPSIS
Twenty-four-year-old Summer Johnson knows two things. The first is that due to an incurable and worsening medical condition, she faces a risky surgery in three months’ time that may very well end in her death. The second is that she would like to fall in love before then.
As spring sinks into her namesake season on the Florida coast, Summer decides to play the odds and download a new dating app – and after one intriguing message from a beautiful surfer named Cooper Nichols, it becomes clear that the story of what may be her last few months under the sun is about to be completely revised. All she has to do now is write something worth reading.
Tender, honest, devastating and triumphant, The Summer Remains explores a very human battle being waged in a very digital age: the search for a love that will remain beyond this temporary borrowing of bones. In an era when many feel compelled to share and re-share anything about everything, prepare to feel a love so special, you will want to hug it close and make it yours forever.

NEW RELEASE ALERT - Thicker Than Blood by Madeline Sheehan & Claire C. Riley is LIVE

I'm reading this book right now! Look for my review of this new post apocalyptic/dystopian standalone book by 
Madeline Sheehan & Claire C. Riley. 



Title: Thicker Than Blood
Authors:  Madeline Sheehan & Claire C. Riley 
Release Date: January 12, 2015
Post Apocalyptic/Dystopia

A true friendship never dies.

Leisel and Evelyn lost everything. Husbands. Families. Friends. Lives that made sense. All they had left was each other, and a friendship that could withstand anything…

Even an apocalypse.

Until one fateful night, the marginal safety they’d come to rely on comes to a vicious and brutal end. With the help of Alex & Jami, both unlikely allies, Leisel and Evelyn are able to escape their shattered sanctuary only to find themselves face-to-face with a much altered, much crueler life where they have to find the way—and the will—to stay alive in a world they no longer recognize.

Traveling across a broken and infection-ridden country; the road-weary group are pitted against endless violence, improbable circumstances, and the ultimate loss.
Everything comes at a price—especially safety, the cost of which could very well strip them of the one thing they’ve tried so hard to cling to: their humanity.

Yet along with all the trials they’re forced to endure, there’s also hope in the form of love. Having loved Leisel from afar, Alex attempts to put the pieces of her fractured heart back together.

But in such a savage world, is there room for love?

In a place of nightmares-made-reality, where the living should be feared far more than the dead, an unbreakable friendship and a love amongst all odds can mean the difference between life and death.

There are friends…

The Vigilante’s Lover Synopsis:

Spies, vengeance, and one seriously well-dressed man

"If Bourne dressed like Bond and acted like Grey, you'd have Jax De Luca."
An addictive new romantic suspense series from the desk of USA Today bestselling author Deanna Roy/JJ Knight

Mia trembles as she reads the letter that arrives from Ridley Prison.

Seduction. Bondage ropes. Descriptions of things Mia has never experienced or known.

The man’s words are desperately passionate. He longs for a woman who must have given him a fake address. Mia’s address.

She plans to send the letter back. He’s a convicted felon.

But his words gnaw at her. She’s never done anything dangerous. And no man has ever talked to her like this.

So Mia writes him, pretending to be the woman he desires.

It's her one dark thrill in her dull, solitary small-town life.

The man is in prison for another fifteen years.

It's harmless. She is safe enough.

Until he escapes.

Excerpt:
I turn to the box of the letters from the prisoner, wondering if I can handle reading one more before I go to sleep. Maybe my dreams will be full of Jax De Luca. I lift my hand in the air, the long cotton sleeve of the old-fashioned nightgown sliding to my elbow. I giggle, imagining my wrist tethered to the bedpost.

I’m just not the sort of girl made for BDSM novels.

But Jax doesn’t know that. I can say anything I want to when I write him. He’s locked away. He’ll never know.

My eyes are heavy. For a little while, I drift in a twilight sleep. The letters ruffle through my thoughts. The cool silk of a well-made rope sliding around my wrist. The tickle of a sheet as it slips across my body.
