Twisted

By: N.L. Greene

Genre: NA Contemporary Romance

Expected Release Date: September 13th, 2013 

 

Growing up isn’t always easy.  But for most teenage girls, they can rely on their best friend to help them get through the process.  A BFF is something that is truly treasured and completely irreplaceable.  You share all of your secrets, and are loyal and honest with each other, even when you’re acting just a little bit crazy.  You have each other’s backs no matter what and you form a bond that is virtually unbreakable. 

 

At least that’s what normal teenage girls experience. 

 

Nat and Mel have been bestie’s since childhood and Nat has followed her blindly ever since.  But as Nat’s friendship with Mel begins to lead her down the wrong path, she starts to question the sincerity of their relationship.  Nat starts to see Mel’s manipulative, deceitful ways become more focused on her.  Will Natalie hold on tight to the friendship she’s had her entire life, no matter what it cost her?  Or will she let her heart lead her to a relationship that’s not so twisted.

for nickFor Nick

What would you do for love?

Zachary Drake had love in his life—and tragically lost it. He knows it won’t come his way again. Andie Parker would do anything for the love of her life.

Even marry a total stranger.

In spite of the unorthodox manner in which Zach and Andie come together, there is no denying that things are unexpectedly good between them, taking them both by surprise.

However, when secrets come between them—and trust does not—Andie soon finds herself vowing to never make the same mistake again. But, she’d do it again in a heartbeat and she knows it. She’d marry a hundred strangers if it helped Nick. She’d do anything for Nick . . . anything.

Praise for FOR NICK

This is another winner by Taylor Dean! It only took me a little over a day to read this book because it’s such a page turner! What would you do to save the one you love most in the world? Marry a stranger? That’s exactly what Andie has to do for the love of her life Nick. This story is so sweet and wonderfully written. It’s a beautiful story of love and sacrifice. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster! Absolutely worth the read!

~Christy of Christy’s Cozy Corners

I love this book!! It seemed like a happy ending early on but since there was a lot of book left, I realized that something big was going to happen. Zach and Andie are adorable together and I loved watching their relationship develop into something real. But Nick was always looming in the background and definitely isn’t a relationship Andie is going to let go of. I’m not giving any spoilers with this so you’ll have to read this book yourself to find out who Nick is and why Andie won’t let that relationship go. I cried a lot towards the end. If you need a good cry, grab some tissues and curl up with this book!

~Melanie of Mel’s Shelves

Hang onto your emotions with this story, because they will be running all over the place, and you don’t want them to get away. One minute you’ll be sighing with joy, the next your mascara will be running down your face–you know, that kind of emotional meltdown type of book. I adored both Andie and Zach. They are so funny and cute together, and their ongoing alliteration game was right up my alley. The emotions throughout this book are extreme–no blah, mediocre feelings in this tale! No way! This is my 5th Taylor Dean book, and it’s hard to pick a favorite…but this has to be in the top 2 for the surprises it held.

Tag Team Giveaway and Review ~ The Twelfth Child by Bette Lee Crosby

A funny thing happened while I was reading The Twelfth Child. I became so engrossed in the story, I forgot to take notes for my review. I always keep pens and scraps of paper handy wherever I am when reading.

I was so into Bette’s story, I plum forgot my notes. So. smiling happily, I dove right back in and read the complete story again.

All of Bette’s books are laced with her southern prose, making me feel at home, looking for an old rocking chair to sit in while I read, with a glass of iced tea handy, the condensation dripping down the sides.

Come up on my porch, pull up a chair and get comfortable.

I have many things to say about The Twelfth Child and a really great giveaway too!

The Twelfth Child

goodreads-badge-add-plus

Abigail Anne Lannigan couldn’t marry a boy she didn’t love. She ran away to escape and it broke her heart, knowing her father would never forgive her.

Seventy years later, Abigail is in her twilight years but still going strong. A chance meeting with Destiny, the young lady who moved in across the street, is the beginning of a lasting friendship.

Destiny is young and determined to make it on her own. She just moved in, has little money and not much to start a home with. As her friendship deepens with Abigail, she accepts her gifts of unused furniture, but insists on working for it.

What started as just a helping hand here or there, becomes more nurturing as Abigail’s health begins to fail.

About this time, a young man named Elliott enters the picture. He claims to be a distant cousin from Abigail’s long lost family. He wastes no time in making life difficult for Destiny.

He knows the old woman has a million dollars stashed away and being a money hound, he figures Destiny is trying to steal it.

He accuses Destiny of absconding with the million dollars and she’s hard pressed to prove otherwise, hiring a dashing lawyer to defend her.

Only Abigail knows what really happened to the million dollars and she’s not in a position to tell.

One thing I always enjoy about Bette’s writing is her ability to take you into the past and flash you forward to the present in her stories without a glitch and as always, her characters are authentic, they live and breathe.

Abigail’s early years were fascinating and her brave young heart was still the same so many years later. Some of the things she said, the words she used had me cracking up. I just wanted to hug her. If I had a friend like Abigail I would be so lucky.

Destiny is happy-go-lucky. You could say she has a rosy personality, always seeing the best in people. She’s sweet and funny, a joy to be around.

I was scared for her when Elliott accused her of stealing Abigail’s money.

She is loyal, nurturing and honest. A tender soul facing a horrible accusation.

And every story needs a bad guy. Someone to loath. Elliott is just that guy. A real stinker.

Elliott is greedy, selfish, manipulative, and a big fake. I wanted so bad to give him a swift kick in the you know what, hard!

I always feel welcome and at home in Bette’s stories and become so attached to the characters that I share their emotions. I care what happens to them, laugh with them, cry with them, and fall in love with them.

Bette added just a little bit of the supernatural to this story, making it that much more fun.

Okay, I must confess.

The first thing that attracted me to RUIN was the cover art.

And the problem with the cover art is my eyes keep wandering south!

I’m always saying if you put some sexy abs on the cover, please give me a sensual mouth and brooding eyes too!

In this case, I’m not really looking at his face. My eyes are looking below the belt.

Then I happened to spot the dreary house in the background with the clouds looming heavily in the sky.

A girl forbidden to be with a guy.

A guy with secrets.

A strong attraction.

Plenty to make me curious.

Ruin by C.J. Scott (A Summer in Winter Novel 1)
Publication date: August 2013
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
~~~
Synopsis:

Kate Bell isn’t perfect. Not even close. The things she got up to in college would cause her parents to fall off their pedestals in shock. Home for the summer vacation, Kate settles in for a long, boring break in the tiny backwater of Winter with folks who still treat her like she’s twelve.
Then Ben Parker arrives and suddenly Winter gets interesting. He’s hot, mysterious and good with his hands. Kate falls for him instantly, but her cop father warns her to stay away. But how can she stay away from someone as compelling as Ben? Someone who thinks she’s perfect just the way she is?
When Ben’s secrets catch up to him, not only is Kate’s heart in danger of being broken, but Ben’s entire future could be ruined.

~~~

Here’s a peek inside Ruin

“So Ben Parker, if I want you and you want me…what’s the problem?”

“You don’t like to beat around the bush, do you?”

“We don’t have time for that. We only have one night.”

“Yeah,” he said softly. “Don’t I know it.”

I turned so that I was fully facing him, one elbow on the railing. “Is that why you’re reluctant? Because you’re leaving tomorrow?”

“No. Yes. Partly.” He shook his head. “It’s complicated. I’m complicated.”

“You’re a guy. You can’t be too complicated.” I smiled and he smiled back sadly. “I’m listening if you want to explain all your complications to me.”

He shook his head. “I can’t.”

“Look,” I said. “I get that stuff has happened in your past that you want to forget.”

He straightened. “What makes you think that?”

“You’re traveling around the country with only one bag and no money. Not only that, but you got off the bus in a place with no jobs. If I wasn’t mistaken, I’d say you’re trying to lose yourself.”

He leaned on the railing again, his hands dangling over into nothing. He looked out to the garden, but it had grown darker in the last few minutes, and it was difficult to make out more than just shapes. “You’ll make a great criminologist, Kate. I have no doubt you’ll go far in whatever you decide to do.”

“Thanks. That’s very sweet of you. But it has nothing to do with the question at hand.”

“The question?”

I leaned over until my lips were near his ear. My breath fanned his hair. “Will you kiss me, Ben?” It was the wine talking. It had to be. I’d never been so brazen with any man before. I never made the first move, never took a chance on being rejected.

But I knew Ben wanted me. I just didn’t know why he pushed me away.

Speed Limits

Lottery Tickets

Elevator Buttons

Numbers are everywhere—they play such a vital role in our everyday lives. But what would happen if we measured love with equations just as we do our morning cup of coffee? My nana had many recipes in her cupboards, but it was her calculations for love that she insisted I live my life by; and I’ve followed her rules all these years.

One Animal

One Moment

One Critical Impact

That’s all it took for the numbers to start flying in a jumbled mess through my brain as I stared into the violet eyes that would forever make me question my choices. In a split second, the possibilities and reality of true love are revealed and I’m questioning all I’ve ever known.

A Tree

White Fences

Stolen Moments

I can’t ignore the storm brewing around—and within—me. Everything I am is confronted by these new numbers, and all they represent. My past, present and future will all be determined by the gambles I make right here, right now. Again, it’s all about the numbers.

And what I’m learning is, one plus one doesn’t always equal two and sometimes three times isn’t always the charm.

Description

Jack has some ‘splainin’ to do!

That’s right! Callie Lassiter’s normally well-behaved Great Dane Jack has run off and done the wild thing with the neighbor’s dog. It must be puppy love! It’s doubly embarrassing since she’s a professional dog trainer. Of course, the neighbor would have to be hot, hot nightclub owner bad boy Owen McKay, just the kind of man Callie is determined to avoid.

Owen’s comfortable with his playboy status and the hype in the media. But the ground moves beneath his feet when he gets an eyeful of the girl next door. The Dog Whisperer never looked this good! How can he convince this wholesome honey that his player days are behind him? Maybe Jill, his Great Dane can help him with this dilemma now that she’s pregnant and Callie’s dog is to blame.

Is this bad boy a bad bet?

My Review

Leashed is a fun summer read for by the pool.

I read this fairly quickly, having many laughs along the way.

It’s almost like there are two romances going on here.

great dane puppies photo: aren't they cute ashlinspuppies.jpg

Jack and Jill, the two Great Danes, do the doggie thing and now Jill is going to have puppies.

This is where romance two begins.

Callie is trying hard to stay away from her sexy neighbor, tabloid making club owner,Owan McKay. He is beyond sexy and Callie has a thing for the bad boy. But, after too many crash and burns, she’s promised herself, not this time.

Owan’s idea of romance is a different flavor each week and the tabloids are too happy to flash the pictures. He’s never felt he was missing anything until he became entangled with Cassie. Now he’s wondering if this sultry, cheeky tom-boy might be something special.

The first thing that made me smile was the dogs. I love a book where animals lend their own personality to the story, making it fun and genuine. Most of us have pets and they are a part of our family. Giving these Great Danes the names Jack and Jill is so cute and had me grinning.

As Jill’s day of delivery draws closer, her mate, Jack won’t leave her side, which means Callie and Owan are spending a lot of time together at his apartment, getting tangled up in more than leashes.

great danes photo: danes3 danes3.jpg

I may have had an idea where this would all end up, but I had a great time getting there.

Anybody looking for a fun, romantic comedy, and a love of dogs, will enjoy this book.

It’s a novella, so it reads fairly quick, and is a stand alone in the series, which I especially like.

I’ll be reading the rest of this series, for sure.

Vows – A marriage on the Rocks Giveaway!

Vows VBT

Vows sounds like a lot of fun. How do you seduce your husband and save your marriage?

I imagine  Addison will have to be creative.

Check out Vows, enjoy the peek inside, watch the awesome trailer, and don’t forget to enter the giveaway!

Vows_Cover

                      Addison Klein’s marriage is falling apart. She’s contemplating whether she should fight to keep her family together or walk away. After the sudden death of her best friend, Peyton, and a vicious fight with her husband Tyler, Addison knows she needs to finally decide her future.

Just when she thinks she’s all alone in making this life altering decision, she gets a little guidance from her guardian angel. Addison rediscovers herself and realizes that the vows she said on her wedding day meant something to her… for as long as we both shall live.

Addison sets a plan in motion to seduce her husband.

Enjoy this glimpse inside Vows

Peyton’s funeral was beautiful and emotionally overwhelming for me. Tyler went to his parents’ house after the church service to pick up the girls. He was never good at showing emotion or handling it when I did.

I accompanied Colin to the graveside service and the funeral brunch afterward for continued moral support. He was a wonderful man, but he wore his emotions on his sleeve. After the brunch was over, the immediate family and I went back to Colin’s house. We spent the day consoling each other and telling stories about Peyton and her antics. We talked about how she seemed to have a sixth sense, a feeling about how things were going to turn out. I finally said my goodbyes and headed home.

I looked over at the clock on my dashboard as I pulled back into the driveway and was stunned by how late it was. I was tired and emotionally drained. I just wanted to go to bed. I opened the door and set my purse and keys down on the table, slipping off my shoes.

“Nice of you finally to come home,” Tyler snarked before I saw him walking into the foyer.

“What?” I asked, shaking my head and trying to figure out what he meant.

“You’ve been gone all day,” he snipped.

I started to walk away from him and down the hall. “I was with Colin. Where did you think I was?” I replied just a snarky.

“Is there something going on with you and Colin?” he spat, ripping what little was left of my heart out.

I spun around to face him. “You have got to be kidding me! Really, Tyler? Is that what you think?” I took a deep breath and my body started to shake. I was on emotional overload and about to explode. “Do you really think I would do that to Peyton?” I seethed as I wiped the tears running down my cheek with the back of my hand.

“That’s what I mean. You ask if I think you could do that to Peyton and I’m wondering if you would do it to me,” he yelled.

TORCH (a Take It Off novel)

***This is a new adult contemporary novel and contains sexual content and graphic language. It is not intended for young adult readers. Recommended for ages 18+***

If you can’t take the heat… stay away from the flame.

Katie Parks has been on her own since the age of fifteen. All she’s ever wanted is a place to call her own—a life that is wholly hers that no one can take away. She thought she finally had it, but with the strike of a single match, everything she worked so hard for is reduced to a pile of smoking ash. And she almost is too.

Now she’s being stalked by someone who’s decided it’s her time to die. The only thing standing in the path of her blazing death is sexy firefighter Holt Arkain.

Katie’s body might be safe with Holt… but her heart is another story.

As the danger heats up, sparks fly and the only thing Katie knows for sure is that her whole life is about to go up in flames.
