Review: Crash Into You (Pushing the Limits #3) – Katie McGarry

Review: Crash Into You (Pushing the Limits #3) – Katie McGarry

*I received a free ARC of Crash Into You from Harlequin Teen via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.* If you thought Isaiah was the best bad-boy out there in Pushing the Limits, you’ll adore him in Crash Into You! Of course, bad boy is relative, it has to do with the way people see him more than anything else! Rachel doesn’t really care all that much about appearances, though, especially because it seems like that is the only thing that matters for her family. And her four brothers aren’t really any better than her parents when it comes to that. This might become a very gushing review, because I was so excited when I got an e-mail telling […]

Stacking the Shelves #2

Stacking the Shelves #2

Stacking The Shelves #2 Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! I recently started participating in Stacking The Shelves, because I figured I really need to keep better track of books I’m adding to my huge TBR pile every week. At the same time, I also think it’s a great way of connecting with other bloggers. So come on in, and see what books I picked up last week : Left (Still Standing #1) […]

Sidekick Showcase #23 – Endearing and funny

Sidekick Showcase #23 – Endearing and funny

Sidekick Showcase, previously known as Sidekick Saturday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jaclyn at JC’s Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn’t have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! I will post my Sidekicks on Saturday, and so will Jaclyn, then whichever day during the week that you would like to post yours, you can put your link in on Jaclyn’s page. Just do the following: • Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to […]

Cover Reveal Blitz: Stripped Clean – Ellis Carrington

Cover Reveal Blitz: Stripped Clean – Ellis Carrington

Welcome to my stop on the cover reveal blitz for Ellis Carrington’s book Stripped Celan! Just to keep the suspense a little longer, I will share the blurb from Stripped Clean first :   Carlos O’Shea is stuck. He knocked-up a girl in college after a night of too much drinking, and then married her to be honorable. With little money, fewer options, and no degree, he winds up cleaning the floors in a small town gentleman’s club and thinking desperate thoughts about the handsome owner that’ll lead to nothing but trouble. Greg Moorehouse only invested in a nudie bar to help his best buddy out of a financial crisis. Now his drug-dealing ex boyfriend, his reverend father, and a […]

Review: The Iron Traitor (The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #2) – Julie Kagawa

Review: The Iron Traitor (The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten #2) – Julie Kagawa

*I received a free ARC of The Iron Traitor from Harlequin Teen via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Iron Traitor bears it’s name very aptly! And it completely and utterly broke my poor, poor heart. But in a good way. Yeah, my heart can actually be completely be shattered in a good way, it seems, I had no idea that was even possible until I finished The Iron Traitor. Please forgive me for starting with the end – there’s one of those cliffhangers where you just wonder what you just read – and how the heck that can be the last page of the book! But for once, I actually wasn’t upset about the cliffie. Ethan and […]

Review: Targeted (Deadly Ops #1) – Katie Reus

Review: Targeted (Deadly Ops #1) – Katie Reus

*I received a free ARC of Targeted from Penguin Group Berkley via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Targeted is an extremely fast-paced romantic thriller, with awesome characters, an exciting plot and some very hot and steamy scenes as well. Sophie and Jack has a lot of things working against them, especially that little detail from Jack’s past, the one where his name wasn’t Jack, and he was Sophie’s first boyfriend. And the only boy she’d ever loved. When Jack is sent to Miami to find out more about a medical company that seems to be involved with drug and arms trafficking, he doesn’t want to go at first, because he feels that seeing Sophie again is the biggest […]

Review: Life in Outer Space – Melissa Keil

Review: Life in Outer Space – Melissa Keil

*I received a free ARC of Life in Outer space from Peachtree Publishers via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Life in Outer Space is a hilarious story about Sam and his nerdy, outcast friends, and their life in highschool. The jocks never miss an opportunity to torment Sam, but Mike, Adrian and Allison always have his back. He’s contemplating moving fast-forward through his life until his forties because everything sucks so much. The popular kids picking at him in school is one thing, but coming home to the big wall of silence between his parents, and his mom’s tears makes it difficult for him to actually be home, too. A self-professed movie-geek, straight A student and great friend, […]

Blogtour, Giveaway and Review: The Holdout – Laurel Osterkamp

*I received a free ARC of The Holdout from IFB Blog Tours in exchange of an honest review* Welcome to my stop on The Holdout Blogtour! I’m sharing a review and some of my favorite quotes, and let me just start by letting you know I really enjoyed this story, even if I’m not a huge fan of reality TV, it was nice to kind of see the other side of what happens and how people can get really caught up in things when they are far away from home, living with strangers and being filmed at all times. The readers meet and get to know Robin quite well, and the story switches from flash-backs from her time on the […]
