Book Description
Publication Date: January 31, 2013
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Tattoo artist Ronnie Clark is counting the days until Valentine’s Day is over. Ronnie doesn’t do romance. She doesn’t do flowers or dates, and she sure as hell doesn’t do love–not anymore. After her fiancé cheated on her while deployed, she has vowed never to fall in love again, especially with a soldier.

Sergeant First Class Kale Emerson is home on his mid-tour leave from Iraq, but he can’t wait to return to finish leading his soldiers on their mission. He’s got no time for a relationship…but casual sex, that’s a different story. And when he meets Ronnie, a snarky, gorgeous, take-no-prisoners kind of woman, a fast fling is all he can think about. But when Kale realizes he’s met his match with a bombshell woman who is hell bent against love, will just sex be enough? And will winning her over both body and soul be the toughest battle he ever fought?

First of all this is the perfect book for me. LOVED it! The two main characters Ronnie and Kale are dreamy. She is the tattoo artist with the attitude and he is Sergeant First Class Kale Emerson. Home from Iraq for a few weeks and excited about the return. He isn’t interested in relationships, she was cheated on. He goes to get his first tatoo being a memorial piece for his Iraq brothers. First and secondary characters were well developed and likable.

The book is written between the characters and a third person’s POV. So overall if you like chicklit and romance with an edge this is for you. Lots of drama, feelings, past and future dreams with a little bit of stalker fear. The story line was very entertaining. No lie, I was hooked the minute Kale came in to get a tatoo.

So I was swooning and can not  wait to see what Kelsie Leverich comes out with next. Bravo on a wonderful debut

Kelsie Leverich

I am a wife and a mommy to two adorable knuckleheads, a hair stylist by day and a writer by night. My crazy life revolves around my family (to include two dogs and a cat) and most of the time, actually all of the time, it’s a crazy mess—but I love it! Drinking lots of wine and reading lots of books helps, I promise! My passion is writing. It’s the thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, the thing I think about in between packing lunches and giving baths, and the thing I think about when I close my eyes at night. Ask my friends, family, and clients—I’m sure they are sick to death of hearing me talk about it all the time! A book can teleport you to another life, to another world. It can sweep you off your feet, make you fall in love, break your heart, and heal your soul. I love reading for those reasons, and I love writing for those reasons. I would love to hear from you.

Grave Bound (Secrets, #1) by T. R. Graves @WarriorsSeries @Tale_of_Reviews

Posted in Book Titles by


GRAVE BOUNDEmily Riddle is now 19 and has lived her entire life inside a commune led by her father, Owen. This has never been a happy place for her. She is surrounded by people who simply obey her father  Owen, the leader. The entire story has you just holding your breath at times. I can’t even imagine how this life could be and aside from that writing it. It is a very tough subject matter that will conjure up some situations you never would have thought about.  The description of life on this commune is so detailed. The young girls, like Emily are “promised” and have no choice but to enter into an arranged marriage. There is only life inside the chain link fence. There is no communication allowed. woman are more slaves and baby makers than anything. 

 When Emily hears from the worst man she knows, Lorenzo, that she was promised to him, my heart was broken. For the first time she reacts without automatically doing what she was trained to do, say yes and nothing more. She thinks she can’t live with him, have babies, stay married. She meets Tope (who turns out to be the D.A.) and his cousin Levi. It all at once hits her, (bam! little lightning bugs and fairy dust) she is in love with Levi. At that moment she formulates a plot, if not she will die before she marries Lorenzo. She makes some pretty strong statements. It is the turning point where she realizes that this may be the only opportunity she has to leave the commune. It is a know fact you don’t ever leave, if you do you are found dead.

 Along with Em you meet her best friends and her Step Brothers, who are equally sick. They all beat women, talk down to them, marry them and go to the “Commune Hall” at night to have sex with the commune whores. Emily knows her Aunt Tess is her strongest advocate and Aunt Tess is so much stronger than anyone knows. There is where the secrets will unravel. She finds out so many things that leave her broken and feeling like there is no way out.

 

Fighting to escape the commune, her Dad, Lorenzo, and her brothers Emily is in for the battle of her life. Just read it and you will see.There are no words to express how exquisitely  told the story is. I want so much more and I just know this is destined for great reviews. It is like no other story I have read.

Book Synopsis:

Decades after being banished from Heaven for saving a life he shouldn’t have, seraph Lash is given a chance to redeem himself. His mission: protect Naomi Duran, a young woman who has lost her faith. The assignment proves to be anything but simple when his superiors, the Archangels, withhold key information about Naomi and refuse to restore Lash’s powers. When an unexpected source reveals centuries-old secrets, his trust is shaken to the core, and he begins to doubt those whom he had once considered to be his greatest allies.

Determined to avoid anything that would risk his chances of returning to Heaven, Lash struggles with the greatest obstacle of all—his growing feelings for Naomi. But when her life is threatened by an unknown source, Lash questions the wisdom of the Archangels and his ability to keep her safe.

Soon, Lash will have to choose where to place his faith—in the home he has fought so hard to regain or in the forbidden love he can’t bear to lose.

Grave Bound (Secrets, #1) by T. R. Graves @WarriorsSeries @Tale_of_Reviews

Posted in Book Titles by

GRAVE BOUND

Some secrets follow you to the grave. Others send you there.

Emily Riddle has lived her entire life inside a patriarchal commune led by her father. There are many rules, but the most important one, ‘keep it in the commune’, is the most difficult for her to follow… especially since the only people willing to champion her cause live on the outside.

When Emily learns her father has promised her to Lorenzo, a perverted man who has plans for her that extend well beyond marriage and kids, she rebels. Regardless of the consequences, she refuses to marry someone who’d rather beat her than caress her.

A day of hooky that starts out as a tiny act of defiance – sneaking out of the commune for a swim – turns into a day filled with hope. After spending time with Levi, a man camping near the lake, she finds what true romance looks like and catches a glimpse into a future that’s filled with love and admiration rather than hate and submission.

That tiny peek is enough to change the course of Emily’s existence and makes it nearly impossible for her to go back to the commune and pretend she’ll ever be able to tolerate the life chosen for her instead of the life she longs for. One that includes Levi.

Fighting to escape the commune, its leaders, and her fiancé proves to be more dangerous than Emily expected. The secrets she knows, as the leader’s daughter, will either follow her to the grave or send her – and Levi – there.

Strictly Off Limits (Jade’s College Diaries 0.5) by Crystal D. Spears @crystaldspears

Posted in Book Titles by

strictly 17285825

Short, sweet, sexy and just what I liked. I will now go to bed dreaming of three brothers and a best friend. Maybe I can be like Jade, I really wish I could be like Jade. Drink up the Jade Water I hear it is really tasty! Now I bought the other books and I will say the Smile cover is hot too!

So from a chick lit book that is what I would say juicy, should there be a message? I think not. We read authors like this because they satisfy a need. As for Jade, she is clearly described, as well as her roomie and BFF, right away you fall in love with her.  Overwhelming steam for sure! If you are sheltered, don’t know what a bar bell is, or a prude, do me a favor and don’t read it.

My thoughts are just that I loved it and I am naughty and proud

I have a giveaway on the side bar so go enter my little SHAMROCKS!!
