We’re kicking off the month-long celebration with three new Brazens, each with a smoking hot military man front and center and each for just 99 cents!





Marine for Hire, by Tawna Fenske

 

She thought she’d sworn off military men for good…

Sam Kercher is every inch a wickedly hot Marine. Tall. Sexy. Lethal. When his best friends call in a favor, Sam is forced to face an entirely new line of duty—playing nanny for their newly divorced sister and her squirming seven-month-old twin boys. If Sam can dissemble an M16 in his sleep, diaper duty should be a cakewalk…right?

Unfortunately, Operation Nanny isn’t quite that simple. Sheridan has sworn off overbearing military men, so Sam must protect her from her dirtbag ex without revealing just how much he has in common with her brothers. Or that he’s been ordered not to touch her. Ever. Problem is, Sheri’s one hell of a gorgeous woman, capable of making this hard-bodied Marine even harder. And Sam wants her bad.

Protect the girl. Care for the babies. Hide his identity. And keep his hands off. But even the most disciplined Marine has weaknesses...and Sheridan is one Sam might not be able to resist.











Staking His Claim, by Tessa Bailey



He wants her. All of her.

NYPD sniper Matt Donovan is in Hell. Instead of driving his best friend’s little sister home from college, he’s stuck with her roommate—a fresh-faced ray-of-sunshine with a body that makes grown men weep. There’s no way he’ll allow himself to taint the little vixen, no matter how hard she tries to tempt him, so he resigns himself to the longest—and hardest—drive of his life.

Matt’s obvious attraction suits grad student Lucy Mason just fine. She had no idea her brother’s best friend was so deliciously hot. Knowing he’d never have his wicked way with his buddy’s sister, she lies about her identity and seduces him. But Matt’s no fumbling college boy. His desires run deep—and dark—and he wants to teach Lucy what wicked really means.

Matt’s demanding appetites only make Lucy want more. But when her cover's blown, he’s furious—even as his hunger for her becomes insatiable. Matt can’t trust anyone, least of all himself. And he knows all too well that darkness always destroys the light…











Temporarily Yours, by Jen McLaughlin, writing as Diane Alberts



This soldier’s the perfect hoax…if she doesn’t fall for him first.

Stats whiz Kayla Moriarity knows her way around numbers and algorithms. Men, on the other hand, are unsolvable equations. Now Kayla’s en route to her sister’s wedding—without the fictional boyfriend she invented for her family. Fortunately, her plane comes complete with complimentary cocktails and a ridiculously hot ex-marine in the seat beside her. And that’s all it takes for Kayla’s inhibitions to go sailing out the airlock...

Cooper Shillings has soft spot for people in trouble, but he certainly wasn’t expecting to land in it himself—and definitely not while getting naughty mid-air with a sexy southern belle. When he hears Kayla’s predicament, however, he offers his services as a stand-in boyfriend. After all, he’s heading overseas soon...and how could he refuse a little no-strings wickedness?

It’s the perfect plan. And all Kayla has to do is ensure her family falls for the ultimate bluff, without falling for it—and Cooper—in the process...









We appreciate you and want readers to be able to fill up their eReaders all month long with great books at introductory prices.  Thank you for an amazing first three years.  This is just the beginning.

Review: Into The Still Blue - Veronica Rossi

Into the Still Blue (Under the Never Sky, #3)Title: Into The Still Blue (Under The Never Sky #3)
Author: Veronica Rossi

Release Date: January 28th, 2014 
Publisher: HarperCollins
Age and Genre: Young Adult, Science/Dystopian
Pages: 400
Source: bought







The earth-shattering conclusion to Veronica Rossi's "masterpiece" Under the Never Sky trilogy and sequel to the New York Times bestselling Through the Ever Night (Examiner.com).

Their love and their leadership have been tested. Now it's time for Perry and Aria to unite the Dwellers and the Outsiders in one last desperate attempt to bring balance to their world.

The race to the Still Blue has reached a stalemate. Aria and Perry are determined to find this last safe-haven from the Aether storms before Sable and Hess do-and they are just as determined to stay together.

Meanwhile, time is running out to rescue Cinder, who was abducted by Hess and Sable for his unique abilities. And when Roar returns to camp, he is so furious with Perry that he won't even look at him, and Perry begins to feel like they have already lost.

Out of options, Perry and Aria assemble a team to mount an impossible rescue mission-because Cinder isn't just the key to unlocking the Still Blue and their only hope for survival, he's also their friend. And in a dying world, the bonds between people are what matter most.

In this final book in her stunning Under the Never Sky trilogy, Veronica Rossi raises the stakes to their absolute limit and brings her epic love story to an unforgettable close.
May contain minor spoilers from this book!

This series is one of the few that I was hoping it would get the ending it deserves. And I was so scared before reading it as I wasn't ready to say goodbye to these characters and what if I don't like the ending? What if she killed one of my favourite characters? Nevertheless, I couldn't stop myself from buying it and couldn't stop myself from turning the pages. Well let me just tell you I worried over nothing! This perfect conclusion didn't let me down and was everything I hoped for! 

I don't want to say too much of the plot as to avoid major spoilers but there was a lot of nail-biting action scenes, a whole lot of tension and twists and turns. Everything before has all come down to this final book and it was great to see how they were going to reach their ultimate goal. I don't know whether I loved this book more or TTEN, but both surely deserves praise for it's creative world-building and heartstopping moments.

Aria is one of the few heroines that I would want to be friends with. Seriously love this girl! Her growth and character development from each book was subtle but freaking amazing. She's no longer the annoying, whiny girl that I found her to be like in the first book, but she's  changed for the better; more mature and smarter. She's definitely one of my favourite protagonists. She's very level-headed and not once did I wanted to slap her. As for Perry, I couldn't love him more. He's going through a lot in this book, what with keeping his tribe together and leading them, to Cinder's difficult situation. I really felt sorry for him as he carried a whole lot in his shoulders but throughout he was so brave, and strong and just such an unbelievable character. Oh, and we can't forget the Perry/Aria scenes. They've been through so much and they've grown a lot together, but I love in this book is that they still had a lot to fix between each other. Perry and Aria forever!

What's so unforgettable about this series is the love and friendship between the three main characters. Even though I love Perry and Aria as a couple, the platonic friendship between Aria and Roar really stood out to me. I praise Veronica for not having a stupid love triangle and instead created a true friendship and trust between a female and male character (yes, you can still be friends and not lust after each other!) I always was looking forward to their interactions. ROAR <3>

If you're scared to read this finale, don't be! It's everything you would ever want, considering their situation. I am honestly really fucking happy with the way things ended and I thought there's no better conclusion than this one. I already miss the characters and this creative world. I so wish there's going to be a spinoff series about Roar. It's been a few days since I read this book and right now writing this review makes me want to read it and experience everything again. The ending simply stays with you. Well done, Veronica Rossi, for writing such a beautiful conclusion to such a stunning series.

Waiting On Wednesday (59)

the fire wish  by amber lough


The Fire Wish (The Jinni Wars, #1)

July 22nd, 2014
Random House

A jinni. A princess. And the wish that changes everything. . . .

Najwa is a jinni, training to be a spy in the war against the humans. Zayele is a human on her way to marry a prince of Baghdad—which she’ll do anything to avoid. So she captures Najwa and makes a wish. With a rush of smoke and fire, they fall apart and re-form—as each other. A jinni and a human, trading lives. Both girls must play their parts among enemies who would kill them if the deception were ever discovered—enemies including the young men Najwa and Zayele are just discovering they might love.
  
I can't help myself be really excited for this book! I've always loved stories where two main characters have to switch places/pretend to be each other. And I have a feeling this one won't disappoint. Plus, it's set in Baghdad! And there's magic, jinnis, war, princesses! Oh and look! There's some romance included too! What more do you want? :) 


Cover thoughts: The lamp is striking. And thank God they didn't use the characters. I much prefer using symbols/objects for covers rather than models. Plus, the background gives us a glimpse of the setting (I only just noticed about the door!)

BEFORE YOU by Jenna Bennett
BOOK SUMMARY:
It’s all fun and games

I had a simple plan for spring break.

Sun, sand, and a hot guy. Sex on the beach, with no strings attached.

A chance to get rid of this pesky virginity once and for all.

And when I met Tyler McKenna, I thought I had it made.

Until someone gets hurt

But then girls started turning up at Key West landmarks. Girls who looked like me, but with one crucial difference: They’d all been drugged and relieved of their virginity.

The virginity I still have. The virginity Ty refuses to take.

And now I’ve begun to wonder whether there isn’t more to him than meets the eye.

Suddenly, sex on the beach doesn’t sound so good anymore...



BETWEEN US by Jen McLaughlin
BOOK SUMMARY:
I’m just a girl…
I’m a famous country star who’s spent her life cultivating a good girl persona to avoid bad press, but I’ve reached my limit. I’m going away for spring break with my two best friends from college, and we’ve vowed to spend the vacation seeking out fun in the sun—along with some hot, no-strings-attached sex. The only thing I needed was the perfect guy, and then I met Austin Murphy. He might be totally wrong for me, but the tattooed bad boy is hard to resist. When I’m in his arms, everything just feels right.

And I’m just a guy…
I’m just a bartender who lives in Key West, stuck in an endless cycle of boredom. But then Mackenzie Forbes, America’s Sweetheart herself, comes up to me and looks at me with those bright green eyes…and everything changes. She acts like she’s just a normal girl and I’m just a normal guy, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. My past isn’t pretty, you know. I did what I had to do to survive, and she’d run if she learned the truth about my darkness. But with her, I’m finally realizing what it’s like to be alive. To laugh, live, and be happy.

All good things must come to an end...


BEYOND ME by Jennifer Probst
BOOK SUMMARY:
CAN FUN IN THE SUN TURN INTO LASTING LOVE?
Spring break in Key West with my besties was supposed to be casual fun. But I never expected to meet James Hunt. Sex and frolic? Yes! A relationship? No. But his hot blue eyes and confident manner drew me in. And when he let me see the man behind the mask, I fell hard, foolishly believing there could be a future for us. Of course I never considered our relationship might be based on lies...or that his betrayal could rock my foundation and make me question everything I believed in...   

OR WILL A LIFE BUILT ON LIES RUIN EVERYTHING?
The moment I saw Quinn I knew I had to have her. She hooked me with her cool eyes and don’t touch me attitude. I had it all, money, social status, and looks. I could get any girl I wanted...until her. When my friends challenged me with a bet to get her into bed by the end of the week, I couldn’t pass it up. But sex wasn’t supposed to turn into love. She wasn’t supposed to change me, push me, and make me want more for myself. She wasn’t supposed to wreck me in all ways. And now, if I can’t turn my lies into truth, I just might lose her forever...

Cover Reveal: The Fine Art of Pretending by Rachel Harris

THE FINE ART OF PRETENDING
rachel harris

The Fine Art of Pretending (The Fine Art of Pretending, #1)
Release Date: September 30, 2014
Author: Rachel Harris 

According to the guys at Fairfield Academy, there are two types of girls: the kind you hook up with, and the kind you're friends with. Seventeen-year-old Alyssa Reed is the second type. And she hates it. With just one year left to change her rank, she devises a plan to become the first type by homecoming, and she sets her sights on the perfect date—Justin Carter, Fairfield Academy’s biggest hottie and most notorious player.

With 57 days until the dance, Aly launches Operation Sex Appeal and sheds her tomboy image. The only thing left is for Justin actually to notice her. Enter best friend Brandon Taylor, the school’s second biggest hottie, and now Aly’s pretend boyfriend. With his help, elevating from “funny friend” to “tempting vixen” is only a matter of time.

But when everything goes according to plan, the inevitable “break up” leaves their friendship in shambles, and Aly and Brandon with feelings they can’t explain. And the fake couple discovers pretending can sometimes cost you the one thing you never expected to want.
About the author:
Rachel  Harris Author of fun & flirty escapes about sassy girls-next-door and the hot guys that make them swoon. I grew up in New Orleans, watching soap operas with my grandmother, and staying up late sneak-reading my mama's romance novels. Today, I still stay up late reading romances, only now I do so openly.

A Cajun cowgirl now living in Houston, I firmly believe life's problems can be solved with a hot, sugar-coated beignet or a thick slice of king cake, and that screaming at strangers for cheap, plastic beads is acceptable behavior in certain situations.

I homeschool my two beautiful girls and watch countless hours of Food Network and reality television with my amazing husband. I write YA, NA, and Adult romance and LOVE talking with readers!

Tell Me When


BLOG TOUR - MY REVIEW

Tell Me When really surprised me. In a good way, of course! I really wasn't expecting this type of story that's so incredible and real and just heartwrenching. This New Adult story is powerful, raw and unputdownable. The author somehow manages to create a contemporary college romance (among other thins) that we haven't seen before. 

If you've read the synopsis, you'd know that one of the main themes is stalking. Stina highlighted an issue that we don't really see or heard a lot of but it's there. And it happens in real life. Now, this book deals with the consequences and it actually broke my heart when I read about what Amber had gone through. I hated the person and I wish that it could have been prevented. I think everyone should read this book as the message is very important and needed. 

Another aspect that I loved was the two main characters, especially Marcus. His backstory was so well done and developed. I admire how the two main characters weren't your typical NA characters (not that I have anything against those, it's just that sometimes it's nice to see other types) and they really do set apart from other couples. I felt sorry for Amber most of the time but I admired her for trying to pick up the pieces of her life and just move on. Marcus was my favourite. Let's just say he is another book boyfriend. 

I pretty much loved the plot, it was so addictive and moving. The only reason why this wasn't a five star read was one thing the heroine admitted. I was just like, WHAT THE HELL? Maybe I misunderstood it or whatever but I just couldn't help thinking, why would you do that??' Argh. Very frustrating to love a book and then something is revealed and BAM. Five star rating gone. Oh well. That wasn't enough for me to not enjoy the book, and I would still verry highly recommend this to all readers who love a realistic romance suspence novel.

The author Stina Lindenblatt is definitely going on my auto-buy list as I will read any book she publish after this very impressive debut. I am looking forward to whatever she has planned next but hopefully we'll still see Amber and Marcus! :) 





ABOUT THE BOOK 

Amber Scott should be enjoying life as a college freshman. She should be pursuing her dream of becoming a veterinarian. She should be working hard to make sense of her precalculus math class.


She shouldn't be waking up her college roommate with screaming nightmares. She shouldn't be flashing back, reliving the three weeks of hell she barely survived last year. And she definitely shouldn't be spending time with sexy player Marcus Reid.


But engineering student Marcus is the only one keeping Amber from failing her math course, so she grudgingly lets him into her life. She never expects the king of hookups will share his painful past. Or that she'll tell him her secrets in return, opening up and trusting him in a way she thought she'd never be able to again.


When their fragile future together is threatened by a stalker Amber thought was locked away for good, Marcus is determined to protect her—and Amber is determined to protect Marcus…even if that means pushing him away.
