Synopsis:

Cam has always channeled her super sleuth ways. Emmiline has a gift.
Together they make one hell of a team. When they dig deep, they get more
than they bargained for…and two is always better than one.

Emmi

For so many years I’ve felt cursed, the laughing stock of the town. The
lack of support from my very own family, the people who were supposed to
love me unconditionally, has been devastating. If those people can’t
even love and accept me for who I am, I’d be a fool to think that anyone
else would. So for my entire life, I’ve isolated myself out of
self-preservation. This is the safest way to maintain any remaining
dignity I may have.

Then Cam came along. She is the first person who didn’t give me that
patronizing look, and she’s become my everything. Cam has been bound and
determined to use my visions to help others. Who am I kidding? She also
wants to use my visions to help her with her dream of having her own PI
firm. More than that, she desperately wants me on the arm of a man. She
is constantly trying to get me to see what makes me great and different.
Funny thing is, I think she should practice what she preaches.

Cam

If I’ve told Emmi once, I’ve told her million times. What she is able to
do is no curse. It’s far from being a bad thing. The only bad thing
about Emmi is her sex life. I’m working on that, too. I know that she
and I can do great things together. I’m the lady with a plan. I always
have been.

The problem with plans is that they always look better on paper. Stuff
happens. Sometimes it’s safe, easy, and good. Other times, it’s
dangerous, risky, and unexpected.
She is either going to have to get with the program or I will have to
sprout patience overnight. Last time I checked, though, I’m no gardener.
It’s time that Emmi has my back because I’m in deep.

The Truth About Letting Go

by Leigh Talbert Moore

Ashley wants to smash everything in her once-perfect life.

Charlotte wants to walk in Ashley’s seemingly charmed shoes.

Colt wants to turn Smalltown USA on its ear–with Ashley at his side.

Jordan wants to follow his heart… but Ashley is the one sacrifice he never expected to make.

Up until now, Ashley Lockett has always followed the rules. She’s always done the right thing, played it safe, and then her ideal life is shattered when her dad dies suddenly.

Fueled by anger and grief, she vows to do everything opposite of how she lived before. She rejects safety, the rules, faith, and then she meets Jordan.

Jordan has big dreams, he’s had a crush on Ashley for years, he’s a great kisser… but he’s also safe.

Enter Colt. He is not safe, and he’s more than willing to help Ashley fulfill her vow.

An irresistible escape…

I feel Colt laugh, and he looks down into my face. That’s when he seems to realize what I’ve been acutely aware of for the last several minutes—our bodies are pressed together.

“It’s awesome, yeah?” he says. “Adrenaline rush.”

“Yeah,” I breathe. “I guess.”

I’m not sure if he’s going to kiss me until he does. His mouth covers mine, and energy mixes with the alcohol flooding my body. Our tongues slide together, and I grip his shirt so I don’t collapse.

Every single bit of this is wrong, and there’s no way I’m stopping it. It’s back, that good feeling. The sadness has been pushed out again, and in its place is this rush, this rush of adrenaline like Colt said.

He pulls back and smiles at me. “We’re going to start dating. Now. You’re my partner in crime.”

The Author:

Ari is in a wheelchair, obviously unhappy with that. She has been searching for many months for some sort of cure. The thought of not being able to do what she used to be able to do, is so painful.  Ari had been a track and field star and an archery wizard. Being confined to a wheelchair is a slow torture.  Things go awry when she considers homeopathic and non-traditional cures. You need to think of yourself in a position like that and what you would do to change it. Maybe as an adult the answer would vary, for Ari, it is a tough choice to make.

So it come to the choice between good and evil for Ari. It was a very different subject matter. I know you will be captivated by the story-line and very unique subject. Being almost eighteen, having to be confined to a wheelchair, and choosing between things she never knew existed, will challenge Ari. I say BRAVO a really interesting book! I know this will appeal to a very broad range of readers. Grab it up and ENJOY it

Author Bio:

Once upon a time, long, long ago, Victoria was born in sunny Florida, except it wasn’t sunny; it was the middle of the night. Midnight actually, well, two minutes past, but she tried really hard for midnight.

Victoria has been to twenty one schools in her lifetime. With all the continual switching around, she’s relied on her imagination for friends and books for close companions. In high school she remained apart from the whole and spent most of her time in the library either reading or writing.

Currently, Victoria has set down roots in New York with her family. She still reads and writes every day. She finished her debut novel Of Gaea in the winter of 2012 and is working on the sequel and many other projects.

When the book opens we meet Alexandra Riley who is in her first year at NYU with her sights to the future on pediatric medicine. From the beginning the picture of Alexandra and her family is painted as bold as a Do Not Enter sign! She was VERY sheltered and comes from a family that is built on wealth. Everything her parents and sister have lived for is wealth and status. That was Alexandra too. When she goes away she leaves her boyfriend behind and gets settled into college life. I think he was her best friend, but they were both expected to become a couple. While she is going through the start of her transformation she takes one art class. She has always liked painting and allows herself this one enjoyable class. In the class she meets Dane Wright. He is the one that turns her planets upside down and causes her extreme cosmic blowout!

This is the first part in the Plastic Hearts Series (secretly hoping to have 3 books or more) The story follows Alexandra, who quickly changes her life path and transforms to Alex.  This is the first novel for Lisa. I found that reader, blogger and reviewer makes a wonderful author. Aside from the fact that I read a lot of what this author does, we agree on a lot of it too. The book had a really good balance of angst and drama. The best part for me was the actual situations presented in the book. They were totally believable. I have read a lot of books that were good but the situations presented were just too “out there”. The love of art shared between Alex and Dane was believable. The way Alexandra grew up and the raw emotional fear she felt about explaining Dane.

The story-lines, the characters, and especially the background were spot on. As a New Yorker I love to read about anything East Coast that is accurate. New York and Connecticut have very many exclusive areas where The Riley type of family dwells. So when Alex is thinking about what her future holds and what her sister Gwenn’s future will be, it is the most real part. I know that Gwenn’s fiance and her upcoming wedding are getting Alex to see the light. She wonders but never asks Gwenn if she is in love. That is basically all I will say about the plot. I reads tons of reviews and I really don’t like when there is an outline, so I am not doing that.   I will just say that these families exist! Think of Donald Trump for a minute. Maybe Donald Junior, for instance, comes home with a girl who does ear piercings at a kiosk by Bryant Park. How do you think Mr Trump would react? Bingo!!  This is my girl and she works at a pizza place and is putting herself through school to become an artist. Dad can we take her to Regis Philbin’s house for lunch?  I could go on but I think I made my point.

Grab it up or enter to win a copy. You know I am doing a BIG giveaway!  Rave reviews and dripping with anticipation for book 2. On another note the editing was great. I never ever pick if I see an indie author who has a typos, this was perfect.

On another note, the cover girl is so Alexandra Riley to me, but the guy needs more edge. Recommended for mature readers due to sexual content and language. (this was so pg to me I didn’t need a warning, but I do love when I see those, I hurry and read them faster.

A quote:

I’d completed thirty-seven paintings over the last several months. If I placed them in order of when I painted them, they showed my rise, fall and eventual rebirth. -Alex

I follow a lot of blogs and subscribe to many via email. I was reading up on what I missed and I was just shocked that I reads a review that was in poor taste. If you feel the need to completely slam an ARC, that is SO not cool. If I read something that is awful (lucky for me I don’t have that a lot) it is better to just not post. Maybe you are not in your preferred genre or just not up for that type of book when you get it. Stop reading and remove the thought that would compel you to write something that is hurtful.

Think before you write! Maybe consider how the law of averages work and how many 5 star reviews you need to combat a bad review. Just saying, be KIND and read on
