KissingEden

synopsis

Have you ever thought of taking a vacation alone? I mean step on a plane, check into your hotel, and lie on the beach completely and utterly alone. No? Me either, but then right before senior spring break I got dumped.

Something about break ups makes you do things you didn’t want to do, and try things you didn’t know you were capable of.

That’s how I ended up at the Palm Palace.

That’s how I met Grey.

That’s how my spring break turned into the most unforgettable week of my life.

review

The quaint intertwined love of a broken heart and a broken hotel ignites passion and romance in Kissing Eden by T.A Foster. In a charming and charisma filled novel, we were introduced to Eden and Grey as strong-willed passionate and loyal characters. Oh and isn’t Grey such a romantic name.  The narrative brought a Texas charm to Spring break with Eden escaping to a charming vacation hot spot and catching the eye of an exquisite irresistible man. When reading, I loved the dynamic that was created through the friendships that Eden created.

I feel like Kissing Eden is a very light-hearted book that dives into finding your own happiness and fighting for what you want. I really enjoyed reading about Grey because I imagined him all hot and sweaty with a little bit of a temper. Palm Palace is a mess and I think it is relatable to those who do get given the inheritance of a hotel or place and because of limited funds don’t know what to do.  I love how Grey had a lot of fight in him to start taking himself into consideration and doing things he wanted to do. Eden pulled a hurt hotel owner into a happier person.

Eden wasn’t without her own struggles, which I enjoyed seeing played out.  Eden came across as very fearless and if she set her mind to something she would accomplish it. I love that in a character. All the characters interacted with great chemistry. What could have been seen as cliché and stereotypical of the romance between Eden and Grey was a really enjoyable and light-hearted novel. The build up was an interesting delivery as this is the first book I have read from TA Foster and I enjoyed how she developed the characters. The fast pace of the book helped guide the book and I think it needed to be that way instead of drawn out longer.

Overall, Kissing Eden was a loveable, lighthearted sweet romance that brought flirt and heart into an intertwining narrative. I gave it a 4-Lit Love. I would definitely recommend it for someone looking for a nice sweet romantic summer novel.

*BOOK REVIEW* Sugar Kisses (3:AM Kisses Book 3) – Addison Moore

Today I am bringing you a really loveable and down to earth book review from one of my favourite series. Sugar Kisses is a new release by Addison Moore and the third book in the series.

18622270

synopsis

Sugar Kisses—nothing tastes sweeter than revenge…

Roxy Capwell couldn’t be more miserable. She just had her heart stomped on by her cheating boyfriend, and the last thing she’s looking for is love. She hates men.

Cole Brighton couldn’t be happier. He’s a player of the highest order, there’s not a girl at Whitney Briggs University that he can’t tag and bag. He loves the ladies.

Roxy’s dream is to own and operate her own bakery one day, but with no oven in her dorm, and a lucrative baking competition on the horizon, she agrees to move in with her best friend’s brother, the obnoxious, womanizing, Cole Brighton.

Between the heavenly scent of baked goods, and Roxy’s perfect body strutting around the apartment, Cole can’t think straight. So when Roxy’s ex starts sniffing around again, Cole volunteers to play the part of her new boy-toy and things get heated both in and out of the kitchen.

Roxy discovers she might not hate every man on the planet, and Cole discovers nothing tastes better than Roxy and her late night SUGAR KISSES.

Roxy is ball of stress and anger.
Cole is all ego and sex.
Their attraction is unstoppable.
And when their bodies collide—its combustible.

review

I was sold at cupcakes. I am a huge fan of Addison Moore and was so excited for the third book in the 3:AM Kisses series.  Sugar Kisses introduces Roxy and Cole Brighton narrative. We have known Cole from the very beginning and I was super excited to read a narrative of passion and a loveable sweetness.

“Shut Up and Kiss me” >Roxy to Cole – Sugar Kisses

The passion that ignites through Roxy and Cole’s narrative is like put gasoline to a fire, it explodes and the rippling feelings are felt everywhere. The spitfire of Roxy always having her guard up and Cole’s shall I say sex appeal makes it all the more enticing and loveable to read. Sugar Kisses brings warmth to the narrative of a tale of two roommates who realise their connection.

In the third book of series, this is possibly my favourite actually don’t get me wrong I love Baya and Bryson and they will always be amazing, but boy did Roxy and Cole create an epic tale of good romance. I loved the narrative, we still had the reappearance of Baya, Holt and some of the others from the earlier novels but I loved the connection that Roxy and Cole have. It’s more than a romance, it’s about fighting for love, fighting for yourself and not giving in.

The light heart of Sugar Kisses makes such a good read. The relationship’s created and developed are like glitter in a jar, all sparkly and soft. I love this one quote

“I had a mini orgasm just looking at you. I thought who the hell does this guy think he is looking so damn hot? You ruined me right then.” >Roxy to Cole- Sugar Kisses.

As a lover of baking cupcakes, this narrative was like putty in my hand. It is light hearted, emotional and just an astounding in the way it grips you to read. I rated Sugar Kisses at 5 Lit-Love because you had me at Cupcakes, you sold me at Cole.

Lie Next to Me- Sandi Lynn Promo Tour with Interview & Excerpt

Title: Lie Next To Me (A Millionaire’s Love)
Author: Sandi Lynn
Release Date: February 17, 2014
Genre: New Adult, Contemporary Romance

oie_wnHzdlyzZAho

The pain was unbearable, but I had to keep moving. I had to keep running because, if I didn’t, he’d find me. I looked behind me as I ran through the streets; scared, alone, and in the dark as the mist of rain hit my face. There was no time to think, and there was no time to stop. My shoes were soaked as they sloshed through the puddles of the dimly lit streets.

My name is Rory Sinclair, and the night I was violently attacked was the night that changed my life forever. One man, a man named Ian Braxton, made it his mission to heal me, to save me, and to show me a world that previously had been only a dream to me.

Ian Braxton is far from perfect. He’s a self-absorbed, demeaning, arrogant, and womanizing millionaire. He makes it so easy to hate him, but so very hard to resist him. We’re from opposite sides of the spectrum. He comes from money and I come from poverty. When our worlds collide, his struggles become mine, and mine become his, leaving us with one question:

How much would you give up to be with someone who was meant to be yours?

oie_pkerfVkzECm4

As soon as I stepped through the door and into the kitchen, Ian grabbed me and pushed me up against the wall, holding my arms above my head. “Don’t turn your back on me, Rory. I’m sorry. I don’t think you’re trash. I think you’re broken and I can fix you,” he whispered in my ear.

His hot breath traveled down my neck and my body went into a near convulsion. I wanted him, but I knew if anything were to happen, it would destroy me. I would become too emotionally attached and when he got tired of me and moved on, I wouldn’t recover. He brought his face to mine as he stared into my eyes.

“I’m not broken. I’m shattered. I’m a million tiny pieces that would take longer than forever to piece back together. So please, do me the favor and don’t even try,” I whispered.

His grip on my arms lightened as he let go and took a step back, giving me one last look before he turned around and walked away. I stood and placed my hand on my neck where his hot breath had touched me. I took in a deep breath and walked upstairs. Tomorrow was the day I start my life over, alone.

Interview

Coming after the successful trilogy and novella in the Forever series, tell us a bit about the novel Lie Next to Me (A Millionaire’s love)?

My name is Rory Sinclair, and the night I was violently attacked was the night that changed my life forever. One man, a man named Ian Braxton, made it his mission to heal me, to save me, and to show me a world that previously had been only a dream to me.
Ian Braxton is far from perfect. He’s a self-absorbed, demeaning, arrogant, and womanizing millionaire. He makes it so easy to hate him, but so very hard to resist him. We’re from opposite sides of the spectrum. He comes from money and I come from poverty. When our worlds collide, his struggles become mine, and mine become his, leaving us with one question:

How much would you give up to be with someone who was meant to be yours?

The story is about learning to trust and finding your own strength and courage to keep moving forward and letting go of your fears.

Did you have to step out of your comfort zone in moving forward from the Forever trilogy, although the theme of wealth and being a womanizer at the beginning stands to be in similar with the male leads?

No, Lie Next To Me was very comfortable for me to write. Ian and Connor are similar in the fact that they’re both millionaires, but they come from different pasts and I think Ian is more closed off and not as vulnerable as Connor was. Ian is more of a jerk, lol.

Did you relate to a certain character within the novel or was there a personality trait that you explored that was new to you within the characters of Rory and Ian?

I could relate to Rory because she never gave up. No matter how bad her childhood was, she never let it define her in a negative way. She kept her head up and gained enormous strength from it. She’s a fighter and that’s how I’ve raised my daughters. Never give up, keep moving forward, and most importantly don’t let anyone bring you down.

Is Lie Next to Me a part of a series or a standalone book?

It’s part of a two book series for now. Will it become a trilogy? I don’t know yet. It’s up to Ian and Rory.

What do you enjoy most about writing and sharing your stories?

I love to give readers an escape from the daily grind of life and into a world of romance and possibilities. When I write, I escape and become so connected to the characters that they become part of my life and that’s what I love the most. I love to share my passion with my readers.

Tell us about your readership. What kind of readers do you hope this narrative appeals to?

 To be honest, I hope it appeals to everybody. This book is mostly for readers that love romance and a HEA!

A lot of writers become authors by readings and falling in love with the notion of creating a world that can impact on a reader’s life. Did you always set out to be a writer and create the stories that you tell for the readers?

Ever since I was little, I had stories in my head that needed to be told so I would write them out in the form of poetry. I wrote a lot of poetry growing up and even won a few awards for them. About a year and a half ago, while I was working at the hospital and hating every waking second of it, I thought to myself, “There has to be more to life than this.” I also thought about my college English professor that pulled me aside one day and asked me if I had ever considered writing a novel based on stories I had to write for class. Writing has always provided me with an escape and I wanted to share some of my stories that were going on in my head with the world. I never thought in a million years that Forever Black would have touched the lives of so many people. It’s just amazing to me how the trilogy evolved and really had an impact on people’s lives, especially those with cancer.

Lastly, If there is one piece of advice you could give an inspiring author what would it be?

Have all your ducks in a row before you hit the publish button. An editor, cover designer, proofreader, beta readers and most importantly, support!

NLTL cover revealAnnabelle Spencer’s life is every girl’s dream. She has wonderful parents, great friends, and of course the perfect boyfriend, Jack Roberts. That all changes on her sixteenth birthday when her life comes crashing down around her. Her dream night turns into a nightmare when Jack is murdered right in front of her, and she’s kidnapped by his murderer, Carter Thomas, a big time drug and arms dealer.

After ten months of being with Carter, she’s found, but the experience has totally changed her. She’s no longer the happy-go-lucky girl that everyone used to know and love; she’s now cold, hard and suffers from night terrors. It appears that Carter broke not only her body, but her spirit too. A shadow of her former self, her slogan for life is now: ‘If you don’t care about anything, then you have nothing to lose’.

Carter is currently serving time for the murder of Jack, a conviction that Anna helped secure. But his retrial is coming up because some key evidence appears to have been tampered with. Unbeknown to Anna, death threats are being received by her father, the Senator. It appears that Carter is still interested in Anna and will stop at nothing to get her back.

Ashton Taylor is brought in to protect her. He’s a newly qualified SWAT agent, a bright spark, the agency’s new golden boy. He is assigned undercover, posing as her boyfriend. His job is to help her through college and keep her safe until the end of the trial in eight months’ time.

For three years she has been the broken, damaged girl, refusing to feel emotion or pain, but can Ashton help her rebuild her life and finally deal with the grief of losing her childhood sweetheart? Will he be the one to make her see that life is, in fact, worth living and that not all men will hurt her?

All the while, the shadow of the trial looms over the both of them, taunting them, reminding them that it isn’t over yet. After all, Carter Thomas will stop at nothing to be reunited with his ‘Princess’.

EXCERPT:

I grinned and shook my head. “No, actually, I was going to bet you twenty bucks that I could kiss you without using my lips.”

Her nose crinkled up as she frowned. “That’s impossible. You can’t kiss someone without using your lips,” she countered. I smirked at her, letting her think about it while silently praying she hadn’t seen this trick before. “Alright, yeah, I’ll take that bet,” she suddenly agreed, smiling confidently.

As I took another step towards her, she instantly stepped back and bumped into the wall behind her. I smiled at her deer-trapped-in-the-headlights look. The vulnerability of her and her cute little bewildered expression made my lungs constrict. Unable to keep the smile off my face, I bent my head slowly towards hers. Her breathing sped, but her eyes never left mine. As my lips touched hers, I tried not to moan at the soft feel of them. My whole body was itching to grab hold of her, kiss the life out of her and hear her moan my name. In that moment, I knew I shouldn’t have kissed her, because now I didn’t want to leave.

I forced myself to pull back after a couple of seconds. “I lost,” I whispered to her obviously shocked face.

BOOK REVIEW: Collaboration by Michelle Lynn & Nevaeh Lee

Today’s book review is a great new release by Michelle Lynn and Nevaeh Lee.

Synopsis:

This is not your typical rock star romance. For one, the “rock star” is a rapper. And not just any rapper. 18994979Trace is the hottest ticket in the music industry right now, regardless of which definition of ‘hot’ you choose.

Taryn Starr is not the girl-next-door who unknowingly meets a celebrity. Known as “America’s Sweetheart,” the reigning country music princess and world-renowned superstar knows exactly who Trace is…or does she?

Their worlds collide when the musicians whose paths were never destined to cross are forced by their joint record label to collaborate on a song. The sparks fly and ignite a fire that blazes hotter with every minute they spend together—for better or worse. One thing’s for certain, the two media magnets can’t deny their explosive chemistry, but will life in the spotlight ultimately bring Trace and Taryn together or force them apart?

***This contemporary romance new adult novel is for mature audiences. The language alone would make a sailor blush (the guy’s a rapper, remember?) so 18+ only, please.

Review:

What you have when you add Michelle Lynn and Nevaeh Lee together, the perfect collaboration. Collaboration is a new release that is about two musicians from two separate life, who come together for one life changing collaboration.

I love books that incorporate lyrics and music into the narrative. The narrative extends a love of music to the characters of Trace and Taryn. The two main characters immediately have amazing chemistry with their romance beginning by communication. I loved this book, because communication and the values each of the characters have created value to what the narrative explored.

What may seen as money-making by the record label, turns into passion, pressure and what the truth is when Trace and Taryn challenge the rights and wrongs of the music industry. I loved the use of the music industry as a point to say not everything you read and see is valid. We always hear news stories about this star doing this or being caught doing this, and the portrayal throughout the narrative gives us insight as a reader to how things can be manipulated and changed. With one key to her heart, I loved Taryn and Trace’s lyrics not only spoke to how they are feeling about each other, but it told a story to the audience reading it.

Taryn has her widths drawn beyond her capabilities by an overbearing mother and Trace only has family within his band, but with Taryn and Trace’s connection, notes to a song are put together with passion.  A collaboration as powerful and special as Taryn and Trace’s made this a great book to pick up and enjoy. Don’t get me wrong there was one point, where I almost could have thrown my iPad out the window, but rest assure through all good collaboration there are ups and downs.

Overall, I loved the music, lyrics and narrative that Michelle Lynn and Nevaeh Lee created. With a story portraying the power of two singers combining and the passion of a story within the lyrics. I truly loved this book and have rated it a 5/5.
