So... Anyone from the desert? Southwest by chance? 

Well, lets take a look at our current weekend weather...
Oh ya! No big deal! Right? 

I mean it's normal to have day time highs around 115! YUCK!

Well... Thank the Lord! I am out of here! Northbound! And I can't freakin' wait. Where will I be going you ask?

Tahoe. 
Yupper! 
On my way ASAP! 

I have been a bit behind in my readings. So I decided I would get my self all excited by making a Sea-ing Summer List! A little cheesy? Me thinks so, but I care not... 

Let begin with my YA Summer Reading List!

1. Apollyon by Jennifer L. Armentrout - Oh how I LOVE THIS AUTHOR! She has NEVER disappointed! This series is fantastic... and this book has been sitting on my bookshelf for far too long! 

2. Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins - Ok... I am on page 62... I can't get into this... but I must finish it this summer... What's my problem you ask? Well... It's to religious for me... I am a spiritual person and have read enough books to know when I am reading a Christian novel...

3. The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd -The hubs bought this for me... mixed reviews on GR... 

4. Beautiful Redemption by Garcia & Stohl - Not going to lie... this one scares me... Nuff said.




THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY! :)

Tomorrow I will post my NA/Adult reading list... Spicy! 

Sinners' on Tour - Wicked Beat (Book 4)

I am not even sure if I have done a review of a SINNERS' book on my blog yet! 
I think I was trying to keep it PG 13--- BUT screw PG 13! 
This book deserves a review of my small time blog!

WICKED BEAT!

OLIVIA CUNNING

4.5 SMEXY STARS! 

“Before I do something all stupid like fall in love with you, tell me exactly why you’re with me tonight.”

REALLY! YOU ARE JUST TOO CUTE ERIC!

-----

The diddy…

Truly, it’s no secret, I was a little perplexed by Mr. Sticks in the first two novels. For myself, reading Jace’s story sealed the deal and I fell head over heels for the 14 year old in a 26 year old’s body.

If you read this series in the order they were released (Book 1, Book 2 and SAY WHAT! Book 5? Ummm…), you were most likely a bit confused about the entire happenings with Jace and Eric in TREY’S story, but the kinks worked themselves out and now we FINALLY have a complete series, which desperately must be read in its entirety, IN ORDER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, very, very soon!

 

“Her eyes widened, and he bit his lip. “Sorry”. He was bound and determined to fuck this up with his big mouth.”

Eric Sticks is blunt, brash, and absolutely the most adorable of all the Sinners’! Well, this is me little opinion anywho.

He fires off rapidly ;) and tends to have no gosh dern filter! No one seems to understand him and he has just taken to the fact that he WILL be alone his entire life.

Then Miss Reb comes into the picture as a temp sound technician for the Sinners’ (also Dave’s sister… Remember?… Bus crash? … Last book? … I KNOW, they are all running together for me too!)  

And who does Miss Reb have the hot’s for!? Well --- pause… who do we  ALL have the hot’s for!? TREY!

Quickly things begin to fall in place for Eric and Reb. But Trey… He is always around causing a little bit of trouble.  

Drama is to a minimum.

Anxiety levels were below normal.

Smexy time was pretty intriguing and the storyline hit a 4 out of 5 for me.

Enjoyable read but as always OLIVIA CUNNINGS DOES NOT HOLD BACK!

Extremely cute couple and now I must read Trey’s story again!

I still don’t feel like I can comfortably wave goodbye to my little back tour bus.

SOOOOOO WHAT ARE THE OTHER SINNERS' BOOKS YOU ASK?

Skin in the Game

3 Stars

So this happened forever ago, but relax …

THEY GET ME EVERY TIME!

FOOTBALL! BASEBALL! HECK I MIGHT EVEN DIG A HOCKEY PLAYER!

Okay maybe not a hockey player, I have seen a few hockey players in my day and there is a reason they wear full face masks. Rude??? Sorry…. Don’t stone me if you know a hot hockey player… just send me a picture *winks*

The stuff you find on a book cover ----

Angela Peterson was always the quiet, shy kid growing up in Harper Falls, crushing on the high school quarterback and honing her football strategy skills. Now grown up and coaching the high school team, she’s shocked when that same sexy quarterback returns to Harper Falls asks her back to his hotel room. And then tries to steal her job.

Injured NFL quarterback Cade Reynolds is in Harper Falls to take over as interim head coach, and he never thought the tall, blond bombshell he propositioned would offer up any resistance. Not to a repeat of the amazingly wild night they shared and certainly not to his coaching position.

But the Harper Falls High Eagles are Angie’s team, and even the hometown hero won’t take that away from her, no matter how hot he is. As the two engage in a battle of wits and wills, this is one game neither is prepared to lose.

CHARACTERS:

Pretty awesome lady Angela with confused intentions in the beginning but no biggy. For a women in her dirty thirties (I hate that terminology but I had to use it) she had her life where she wanted it and knew her limits… Until…

Cade, super hot (and super hot) but I wanted….no, I needed him to be more ALPHA! Take charge do something, but instead he was bit passive for me.

All secondary characters in my opinion were vanilla.

Over/Under:

18 + book with a plot that was “ok”. A bit anti-climatic but definitely had some fantastic swooning moments.

I was a fan, but I wouldn’t necessarily but this one on the top reads list just yet.

I will however read another novel by Ms. Barbosa… because her writing has the ability to pull you; it just needs to keep us bound ;) 

Well, well... Woods

Twisted Perfection 

5 Stars!

I loved this story!
The world Abbi Glines creates is such so... snotty (for one) and absolutely nothing close to reality! And this my friends... is why I love it! 

Life outside of her house was a new experience for Della Sloane. The dark secrets of her past weren’t something she ever intended to share with anyone. They would never understand. No one would ever get close enough to find out. There was always a chance she’d go crazy sooner than they expected…

Woods Kerrington had never been one to be attracted to fragile females. They seemed like too much work. He wasn’t in it for the work just the pleasure. A night full of naughty fun had been exactly what was on his mind when he’d laid eyes on the hot little number that didn’t know how to pump gas and needed some help.

What he didn’t know was she was as fragile as they came.
The carefree girl who spoke her mind and didn’t care what the world thought of her was more breakable than he could ever imagine…

Thinking thoughts and ponderations:

I was always, always drawn to Woods in the Fallen to Far series! I actually was like - Rush, move your ass aside - Woods - come in for the landing! 

But that obviously did not happen and I am 110% completely okay with the outcome ---- Because Della and Woods are perfections! 

Storyline is super unique and takes place in the ever beautiful Rosemary by the sea... 

Far fetched at times but hey that might just be because I have NEVER lived such an extravagant life ;) Well, of course, unless vicariously through my many fictional crushes. 

Ending was like BAM CLIFF HANGER! BUT not the ones that make you want to set you kindle on fire --- so relax --- *smiles*

Have fun reading this one --- Absolutely for a mature audience! So, don't say I didn't warn you if you begin having vivid Woods dreams. *winky* 

One can NEVER get enough of J. Lynn!

 Holy mother of all unclaimed babies!

For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the 'man' in man-whore. He's never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by declaring her love. 

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have. 

But when they're stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

Frigid will be available in digital formats on July 30^th 2013

Reckless (#3)
S.C. Stephens  

3.5 ☆s

Oh boy, I knew it had to come to this, the moment where I sat down and actually wrote a review on Reckless.

It is no secret, S.C. Stephens throws her readers into a pile of shit. No joke. Love can get messy and during Thoughtless she never strayed from provided the real deal, emotions, desires, and the thoughtless actions that accompany any affair. Effortless was even more gut-wrenching. I constantly found myself crying with Kiera whilst wanting to punch her in her lady parts. 

But true love, with its ever fleeting desire and passion that no relationship can survive without, Kiera was given a second (or millionth - I lost count) chance and Kellan just couldn’t live without the only women who made him feel and accept love.

I did and well ... 

Man, when Effortless ended, life was good.

And then rumors of Reckless came out. I just didn't know what to do. I was tired of Kiera's voice and her insecurities that never seemed to fade.

I wanted to hear Kellan’s voice in this whole mess.

Reckless, it is a journey for two people inevitably in love. While fame pushes back at them, Kiera and Kellan are committed and determined to make it through.

It’s imperative to read this novel, although, I will not pretend like it is as wonderful as the rest. I skimmed. I did.

I needed more passion and steam.

Multiple sections were unneeded but it doesn't change the fact that we all love Kellan. Kiera --- Honestly I saw little growth in her confidence. I wanted her to come out like some sex starved lover. But that never happened.

Liked it --- didn’t love it…

Enjoy as best you can… I wish I could have raving reviews… just not happening…

I have seen my fair share of bookish boy friends. I have swooned, screamed, stepped on baby kittens (unintentionally), and taken innumerable cold showers. None have ever made me go as bat shit crazy as Trent. Ladies (and gentlemen) --- You are in for a treat with this one. He is overly creepy, incredible sexy, deeply rash, and just utterly mouth watering. I held my breath each time he spoke or moved or disappeared.

Kacey says it best!

 “Dammit! That guy is the dictionary definition of contradiction. He skates between nice guy and bad boy so fluidly, I never seem to notice the transition. It would be easier if he were a pigheaded player.”

Kacey is so jacked up! So sarcastic! And wow! Nobody does bitch like this woman! I loved her fire and pure determination to save the last person in her life –Livie. 

To say Kacey struggles with her past is a disgusting understatement. It’s a nightmare she will never wakes up from, one that keeps her in a constant state of rage. She was in a car accident that killed her father, mother, best friend, and boy friend. She was saved but barely. The girl that remained after the accident vaguely resembled the girl she once was.

After the accident, Kacey spent a year in recovery and eventually Livie and her ended up living with her aunt and uncle. After her uncle crossed the line with Livie, Kacey took her sister and ran, finding their way to Florida.

The twisting of this plot is out of control. I loved every moment of this novel. It was extremely touching and swoon-worthy to the max.

The romance was fantastic but fade to black is where this book is at. Still I would recommend it :) Enjoy!
