July 30, 2014 by Aestas · 245 Comments

To celebrate the exciting release of Carnage #2, the highly anticipated sequel to Carnage #1, author Lesley Jones has generously offered to give away a signed series set and a $25.00 Amazon Gift Card!!

Carnage #1 was one of my top favorite books I read this year. It was a non-stop emotional roller coaster ride from start to finish and I LOVED it!!!! It made me feel everything. It consumed me. It took over my life. I couldn’t put it down, didn’t want to stop reading, and I know that I will never forget this story.

❤ CARNAGE ❤

I love him, from the instant I set eyes on him when I was just 11 years old I have loved him and nothing will ever change that, he owns me, he owns my heart and he owns my body and no matter how many lies are told, no matter how many people conspire to keep us apart, despite the fame and the distance, we will find a way.

“Georgia Rae, when we made love you used to cry.”
He waits for me to sing my bit.
I try to swallow down a sob but I just end up singing through it…
“I said I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you till I die.”

Carnage, an edgy coming of age love story that breaks all the rules and transcends the decades. Georgia and Sean’s story will stay with you long after you read the final word. An emotional, smoking hot, gut wrenching read.

Buy CARNAGE #1 (my review)

This is a completed 2-book story. The next book will be a spin-off standalone.

❤ THE WILD SIDE ❤

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE A WALK?

Alasdair Masters is in a rut. He just hit forty, has been nearly celibate for the past year, and his life has turned into a daily sequence of lonely patterns that revolve around avoiding human contact.

His tidy life is turned on its head when a hot young blonde at the gym that’s been pseudo-stalking him decides to rock his world. A very young blonde. Way, way too young for him. The problem is, he can’t seem to tell her no, and she just keeps coming back for more.

It doesn’t help that he’s ninety percent sure she’s a criminal, and still, he can’t seem to turn her down. What is a dull introvert to do when a chaotic cyclone that oozes sexuality comes twisting into his life?

At first, he thinks she’ll give him a heart attack, but after his twenty-year marriage ended a year ago, he’s been a little lost, and when she comes crashing into his life, he realizes that he’s never felt more alive.

Is a walk on the wild side just what he needs to get his on track or a disaster in the making? Is it possible for someone that much younger to be just what he needs, or is she a fortune hunter, as everyone keeps telling him? Is it his hormones telling him that the mysterious younger woman is the one, or could it be more?

Buy #1 THE WILD SIDE
Buy #2 IRIS
Buy #3 DAIR

SIGNED GIVEAWAY — 8 Colleen Hoover books!!!!

July 18, 2014 by Aestas · 717 Comments

Colleen Hoover fans, check this out!!!!!

To celebrate the upcoming release of her latest, heart-wrenching standalone romance Ugly Love on August 5th, Colleen has generously offered to gift signed copies of all 8 of her books to one lucky winner!!!

I’ve already read an early copy of Ugly Love and it’s one of the best books I’ve read!! It was unique and so intensely emotional — two of my favorite things in books!! It totally blew me away. I can almost guarantee that you will cry (seriously, my heart broke for Miles!!!) but I absolutely promise you that it’s worth every tear because the way that it all comes together is just gorgeous!!!! Oh and also, it’s HOT!! This is a whole new side to Colleen Hoover’s writing and it is sexy!! I honestly just loved every single word. 6 STARS!! Be sure to pre-order your copy!! This is a MUST-READ of the year!!

UGLY LOVE

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn’t think it’s love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.

Never ask about the past.
Don’t expect a future.

They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.

Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly.

SIGNED GIVEAWAY — THE ADDICTED SERIES by K&B Ritchie

July 11, 2014 by Aestas · 221 Comments

WOOHOO!!!! I am so excited today to bring you a series feature and huge 6-book giveaway (at bottom of post) of one of my top favorite series — The Addicted series by Krista & Becca Ritchie to celebrate the release of the latest book, Thrive.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most addictive series I have EVER read and one of the best New Adult romance series out there!! And it just keeps on getting better and better. These books have everything in spades — fantastic writing, an original plot line, and characters you can’t help but fall in love with.

You’re totally safe to start reading them at any time. Even though it’s an ongoing series, where it’s at now has no cliffhanger so I promise you’ll be left happy in between books.

The first three books (Addicted To You, Ricochet, Addicted For Now) are mainly about Lily and Lo. They’re childhood friends who have grown up together but they each have an addiction — she’s addicted to sex, he’s addicted to booze — and if their very wealthy and controlling families ever found out, they’d both be kicked to the curb… and so they lie. They live together and pretend to be a normal, perfectly functioning couple and by doing so each one gives the other an alibi and a safe zone to feed their addiction. But sometimes there are moments when their pretend relationship feels like the most real thing in the world because what neither of them is admitting out loud is that their feelings for each other are real. And then… one yacht trip changes everything… And, I’ll just let you discover the rest on your own there 😉

In those 3 books, we’re also introduced to a group of side characters (friends and siblings of Lily & Lo) who are featured in the next 2 books — Kiss The Sky (Connor & Rose) and Hothouse Flower (Ryke & Daisy).

I’ve listed the full reading order below along with purchase links, release dates, and my reviews.

Then, be sure to scroll down and enter the huge series giveaway at the bottom of the page!! 😀
