Cover Reveal Dare you To by Katie McGarry

If you read Pushing the limits you are just like me waiting for a sequel desperately.  Luckily it's coming and we have a tease with this amazing blurb and sequel cover.


Expected Publication Date:  May 28th 2013 by Harlequin Teen



"I dare you..."

If anyone knew the truth about Beth Risk's home life, they'd send her mother to jail and seventeen-year-old Beth who knows where. So she protects her mom at all costs. Until the day her uncle swoops in and forces Beth to choose between her mom's freedom and her own happiness. That's how Beth finds herself living with an aunt who doesn't want her and going to a school that doesn't understand her. At all. Except for the one guy who shouldn't get her, but does....

Ryan Stone is the town golden boy, a popular baseball star jock-with secrets he can't tell anyone. Not even the friends he shares everything with, including the constant dares to do crazy things. The craziest? Asking out the Skater girl who couldn't be less interested in him.

But what begins as a dare becomes an intense attraction neither Ryan nor Beth expected. Suddenly, the boy with the flawless image risks his dreams-and his life-for the girl he loves, and the girl who won't let anyone get too close is daring herself to want it all...

Cover Reveal: The Valentine's Arrangement by Kelsie Leverich

Cover Reveal: The Valentine's Arrangement by Kelsie Leverich


Synopsis

THE ARRANGEMENT

     With the freezing cold temperatures and the achromatic scenery, Fort Drum New York is the epitome of a dull and dreary winter; that is until cupid’s annual vomit infects the city with pink and red and yes, hearts and flowers.
                Ronnie Clark, an edgy tattoo artist with hopes of high tailing it out of this forsaken Military town she followed her now ex-fiancĂ© to, is counting down the days until Valentine’s Day is over. Valentine’s Day is for hopeless romantics and pathetic saps, and Ronnie couldn’t be farther away from either. Ronnie doesn’t do love.  She doesn’t do flowers or dates, and she sure as hell doesn’t do romance.  After her fiancĂ© slept with a female solider while deployed, she has vowed never to fall in love again, especially with a soldier.

                But as karma, fate, or the mocking divine powers of the universe would have it, her promise is put to the test when she is scheduled to do a tattoo on Sergeant First Class Kale Emerson.

SFC Emerson has no family to come home to and no girlfriend anxiously waiting for him, so when he returns to the states for R&R he only has one thing on his mind, returning to his deployment to finish leading his soldiers on their mission. The last thing Emerson wants is a relationship.  Relationships aren’t for him, but casual sex, that’s a different story.   And when he meets the renowned tattoo artist Ronnie Clark, a snarky, blunt, takes no prisoners kind of woman, that seems to be all he can think about.

Against Ronnie’s best efforts to withstand temptation, she finds herself not only attracted to the clean cut, put together Kale Emerson, but she finds herself giving into the very thing she has sworn against; a soldier.  Holed up in her house, determined to hide away from the fluff and mush that inhabits Valentine’s Day, Ronnie gets a little carried away with Kale when he surprises her with a visit.  After intense mind blowing sex makes Ronnie slam on the breaks and leaves Kale needing more, they decide the only way to continue this and keep true to their no romance or relationship mottoes would be to come up with an agreement; a just sex policy, their very own Valentine’s arrangement.

But when Kale realizes he has met his match with a bombshell woman who is hell bent against love, will just sex be enough?  And if it’s not, will he be able to convince Ronnie that the proverbial hearts and flowers aren’t so bad after all, even if he is a soldier? 



Expected publication date: January 2013

Teaser Tuesday - Dizzy by Jolene Perry & Nyrae Dawn

Dylan doesn’t do relationships. He and his older brother watched their dad go through hell and back, so they made a pact years ago—no girl would come between the Gibson boys. But his brother sells out. He's getting married anyway. To the sister of a chick Dylan met at a party, who's probably the angriest girl he's ever met. Unfortunately, she happens to be hot, too.

Ziah’s life is upside down—her safe boyfriend turns out to be not-so-safe, and now her sister is getting married before college is over to the older brother of a spoiled, party boy who drives her crazy. And also makes her heart beat too fast.

There’s no denying the attraction, but there's also no denying how much they irritate each other. When they’re thrown together as forced wedding planners, they find an ally in each other--neither wants this wedding to happen.

But instead of putting a stop to the crazy nuptials they find themselves at fittings and cake testing. And maybe even…a few dates?
Dizzy is a novel about what happens when two people who are determined not to fall in love, maybe do anyway. Maybe


My Teaser:  

"Hey" Only the rain is coming down so hard I have to speak it, not whisper

"Hey" His eyes hit me, and I know that look better than anything.  There's no way he's not thinking about me the way I'm thinking about him.

His arms come around me, and I shouldn't want them to but I do.  It feels so good to let him hold me.  Better than I remembered, or maybe it's just that I've thought about this way more time than I should.

About the author:

Danielle Sibarium grew up as an only child of divorced parents in Brooklyn, New York. Her imagination was developed at an early age. Surrounded by stuffed animals and imaginary friends, she transported herself into a fantasy world full of magic and wonder. Books were the gateway between her play world and reality. On any given summer afternoon she became Snow White sweeping and cooking for the dwarves, or Cinderella waiting for the prince.

Danielle always loved dialogue and in elementary school began writing plays and short stories. This is when she began to understand she could not only bring her fantastical world to life for herself, but she could enchant others as well. And so she wrote. She wrote and wrote and wrote.

Sadly the first piece she ever sent out for publication of any sort was a letter to the editor of The Home News Tribune. It was a piece thanking the first responders for their bravery and selflessness on Sept 11th. It was chosen as letter of the week.

In 2007 Danielle collaborated with Charlotte Doreen Small to write songs for her CD More. Danielle wrote the lyrics for Take My Hand, and Goodbye, while Charlotte contributed the melody.

Danielle graduated from Farleigh Dickinson University with honors, and currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and three children.

Double Dare by Rhonda Nelson

 

"Quirky, irreverent and laugh-out-loud hilarious, Rhonda Nelson speaks my language!" --New York Times bestselling author Vicki Lewis Thompson


Vintage Rhonda Nelson! Though Rhonda is known more recently for her sexy, romantic comedies she began her career writing funny, heart-warming romance for Kensington's Precious Gems line. The books were only sold in Wal-Mart and spent less than a month on the shelves. Now, thanks to the wonderful world of digital publishing, they're available again.

Runaway bride Louisa Honeycut is looking for a quick escape when she passes the Double Dare, Inc sign and the slogan "Are you ready for the time of your life?" seems like divine intervention. Sheltered by her overbearing father, Louisa has years of catching up to do and can think of no better person than gorgeous Sam Rawlins to show her. Is she ready for the time of her life? Hell, yes.

Ordinarily unflappable adventure guide Sam Rawlins makes his living showing the wealthy how to have fun, but nothing in his experience could have prepared him for the "adventure" Louisa Honeycut asks for. He might be showing Louisa the time of her life, but the quirky little snack-cake heiress is soon turning Sam's own life upside down...and perversely, he likes the new vantage point.

Opal by Jennifer Armentrout Trailer Reveal!




No one is like Daemon Black.
When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love. After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger... and they know it.

Together and only together,

Farewell to Twilight...

As a teenager I used to read loads of books and loved it but somehow while transitioning into an adult I stopped.  When Twilight came out as a movie for the first time my husband rented it for me and we sat down to watch.  I can honestly say this was it for me...

I ran the next day to the nearest book store and bought New Moon immediately falling in love with the characters and their world.  I finished the book in two days and when on to the next and so forth.   It honestly made me come back alive.  Reading these stories made me feel like I had found something long lost a while ago.  It goes without saying that thanks to Twilight I began reading like a maniac and blogging my brains off about the books I loved.


I have been a Twi hard since after Twilight came out and for every movie I have made a spectacle out of it.  It has been female bonding, friend making and oh so much eye candy fun.  These past years will never be forgotten. I cannot even say how many people I've meet just by talking about Twilight.

Last night  I watched Breaking Dawn Part 2.  It is bittersweet and very sad to say goodbye but it was a worth it.  So here is my farewell to one of my favorite series in the history of time.

Farewell Edward, Bella & Jacob!

Blog Tour Ever by Jessa Russo






Seventeen-year-old Ever’s love life has been on hold for the past two years. She’s secretly in love with her best friend Frankie, and he’s completely oblivious. Of course, it doesn’t help that he’s dead, and waking up to his ghost every day has made moving on nearly impossible.

Frustrated and desperate for something real, Ever finds herself falling for her hot new neighbor Toby. His relaxed confidence is irresistible, and not just Ever knows it. But falling for Toby comes with a price that throws Ever’s life into a whirlwind of chaos and drama. More than hearts are on the line, and more than Ever will suffer.

Some girls lose their hearts to love.
Some girls lose their minds.
Ever Van Ruysdael could lose her soul.

 
Buy Ever here:  Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo



My Summary:  


Ever Van Ruysdael (EVER) is your typical teenager except she has a ghost in her house.  Her best friend and the secret love of her life died but his spirit remained with her.  Somehow the bond they had before he died was so strong that it’s magically keeping them together.  

Frankie has been her friend forever and he has no clue Ever is in love with him.  The friendship they have is refreshing. Frankie is a funny guy and cares about his friend and her family.

Everything between them has now become a routine even thought is far from normal.  One day Ever notices someone has moved across from her house.  Intrigued by the new neighbor she finds Toby.

Toby fits the description of totally hot and dangerous but somehow makes Ever feel at ease.  Whatever started as a friendship has now flourished into a full blown rollercoaster.  Toby has a secret and Ever is in for the ride of her life. 
Frankie tries to warn her but will it be to late…



My Thoughts: 


As soon as I hit that first page I was hooked.  Ever is a refreshing tale of love, friendship and loyalty.  Ever is an example of self righteousness.   It was amazing to meet an insecure teenager blossom into a fiery young woman. 
 
I am sure that will see a bit more of her fire in the next installment and cannot wait to read what will happen next.  

It was hard not to fall for Frankie and Toby.  Frankie was the all American boy next door, with his quirky sense of humor and humbleness but Oh.Dear.God! Do we get a glimpse of the fire in him?  Toby was also red hot searing fire all the time but he has a hidden sweet side that we get to see towards the end.  

These boys are both swoon worthy and I hope to read more on them.  These are the images I pictured while reading the book

Sharing the Love of YA

Why do I love YA?

My love for this genre started after reading Twilight. Yes I am one of those crazy chics that instantly fell in love with Edward Cullen and the promise of a forbidden love. 

The reason I absolutely love YA is because I think that my teenage years were amazingly good ones.  It is when I began to find myself, fell in love, got my heart broken, fell in love again, made new friends.  It is all part of a master plan in life and I think the foundation for every woman begins when she is a teenager.  It is also the reason I began blogging.  I never thought in a million years I would have a blog but loving these books so much I needed to spread the word around them.  I'm sure you have seen me going crazy rambling when I find an amazing read.

Reading YA makes me feel like a teenager again and remember those years of my life I love an cherish.   Falling in love with all these amazing authors and their characters is what pushes me to keep reading and blogging about them. 

It is purely gratifying to share my love for these books with my friends. We had made some really crazy things for those books such as street teams, rally's to get votes on the tournaments and now getting my state to vote for my favorite author to come over to my city. 

So there you go the love for YA goes a long way with me.
