Forever & Always by Jasinda Wilder Review


Forever and Always by Jasinda Wilder
I was gifted this book for a review.
First off, what a way to write a book. The letter formation was pretty cool. Ok I loved it, with the in between things that where happening to Caden & Ever.
I really enjoyed the slow build up with their relationship, even with the instant connection through their art. While reading their letters after camp, it was refreshing to see them grow in character. Real life got in the way of writing to each other but yet they remained connected. My heart broke for Caden twice, poor boy. Even miles away Ever was still there for him. He had no choice but to grow up quickly. I was rooting for them to get together as they were truly connected in more ways than one. It ended on a cliffhanger and now I really need to go get the next book 'After Forever' I would recommend this book, such a lovely story. <3 Amy

Nocturnes by Kendall Grey Review

Nocturnes by Kendall Grey 

 WOW! I thought I loved Strings, knew I loved Beats, but was completely leveled by Nocturnes. No one tells a dirty sex story like Kendall Grey!!!

 Rax is still torn up over his break up with Toombs and being forced to spend time in the vicinity of him and Jinx is doing his head in. If Rax is sober five minutes, that is five minutes too long for him. Drowning his sorrows and looking for his next fix, he stumbles into Nocturnes in New Orleans and runs right into the one woman that has never left his mind and who he thought he'd never see again.....Lola. 

 I absolutely loved this book and how these two broken people help ease each other's pain in a way that is nothing mushy and all kinky. Lol! No, really, this was a great book as anyone that read Strings and Beats should have come to expect from Kendall and it would be a complete lie if I said I want more and gave this a five star and two thumbs up recommendation. READ IT! But only if you don't mind lots of dirty and a bunch of anal..... <3 Kellie

Fix You by Carrie Elks Cover Reveal- 1/20/14


 
RELEASE DAY 2/12/14

 
"Richard, we had a baby."
31st December 1999. Seventeen-year-old Brit, Hanna Vincent, meets New Yorker, Richard Larsen; a Columbia student and step-son of scion Leon Maxwell. Divided by wealth, distance and a common language, an unconventional friendship grows between the two.
From London to New York, from 1999 to 2012, Fix You follows the story of quirky, music-loving Hanna and handsome, driven Richard as they fall in love and are torn apart. Their tempestuous relationship leads to an explosive revelation that threatens to destroy them both.
Emotional and touching, this is a story of second chances. Is their shattered love beyond repair?
 
 
 
EXCERPT:
 
 
 
EXCERPT
 
Prologue
 
 
May 12th 2012
Richard had filled out nicely since she had last seen him. The thin cotton of his shirt clung to his biceps, skimming his taut abdomen as it tucked into his dress pants. His hips were still lean and tight, and she closed her eyes as she tried not to remember how they had felt between her thighs, as he had moved inside her, breathing softly in her ear, as she had moaned and whimpered and—
She shook her head. She wasn't standing in his large, oak-panelled office just to take a trip down memory lane, as pleasant as that might be. She had flown here, over three thousand miles, to tell him what he deserved to know.
Inappropriate laughter bubbled up in her throat as she considered the ridiculous melodrama of the situation. Her 17-year-old self would be rolling her eyes, wondering how this 29-year-old woman had managed to turn a seemingly promising life into a soap opera.
She glanced up at his face, looking at his lips, which had turned down into a deep scowl. His eyes had narrowed beneath his brows, and his straight, patrician, nose was slightly crinkled in response to her presence.
The contempt he felt toward her was radiating from him.
Hanna tried to keep her breathing steady, reminding herself that although she was in his office, on the penthouse floor of his building, this was her show.
She was in control.
If he viewed her with contempt now, God only knew how he would feel once he'd heard what she had to say. He had been an integral part of her life for so long—as a friend, a confidante, even a lover—but never before did he have the power to break her.
"As nice as it is to see you," he drawled, the tone of his voice making it patently clear that her being in his office was anything but nice, "I have a meeting in five minutes. Exactly what is it that you want?"
He had no idea, but this was it. Time to open her mouth and tell him what he needed to hear. Her arms suddenly felt heavy, and her fingers trembled; a physical manifestation of her nervousness. Her laughter was replaced by something more unsettling, as she tried to take in a deep breath and form the words that she had travelled all this way to say.
Her tongue darted out to moisten her lips. She watched his gaze move down to her mouth, staring at it with dark eyes, as her teeth drew in her bottom lip.
"Richard." Her voice was surprisingly strong. She could do this. She could tell him the truth, and then get the hell out of here.
Back on a plane.
Back home.
Back to him.
"Richard, we had a baby."
 
Carrie Elks lives near London, England and writes contemporary romance with a dash of intrigue.

An avid social networker, she tries to limit her Facebook and Twitter time to stolen moments between writing chapters. When she isn’t reading or writing, she can usually be found baking, drinking wine or working out how to combine the two.
