Four minutes until the interview. 

She knows she’s only there because the owner, Grayson Cole, is her older sister’s friend.

Three minutes. 

For the last seven years, Grayson has been the most intimidating man Cammie has ever had the pleasure, or displeasure, of being around.

Two Minutes. 

But the job opportunity is too good to pass up. So, Cammie will have to ignore the fact that Grayson is handsome enough to have his own national holiday.

One. 

After all, she shouldn’t feel that way about her new boss. And, he will be her new boss.
…

“I’m not intimidated by you,” I said with a confident smile.
“Perhaps we should fix that, Ms. Heart. Close the door.”
 



The Lost Herondale - Cassandra Clare 

Simon learns the worst crime a Shadowhunter can commit: desertion of their comrades. In the early nineteenth century, Tobias Herondale abandoned his fellow Shadowhunters in the heat of battle and left them to die. His life was forfeit, but Tobias never returned, and the Clave claimed his wife’s life in exchange for Tobias’s.

But what if the child survived…could there be a lost Herondale line out in the world today?




Fall with me - J Lynn

Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.

Her best friend since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.

But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.



And now for the physical books.

So the first 5 books are all from the same series that of which I read on my kindle last November and they are books 3 - 7 in the Rosemary Beach series.

Forever too far - Abbi Glines (SPOILERS) 

Rush promised her forever... but promises can be broken.

Torn between his love for his family and his love for Blaire, Rush has to find a way to save one without losing the other. In the end one has to be more important. Letting go isn’t easy.

Blaire believed in her fairytale... but no one can live in a fantasy.

Her love for Rush and desire to have a family keep her believing that they can find a way for this to work. Until she has to make the right decision for her and the baby. Even if it breaks her heart.

Can they find the forever that they both want or has it all just gone... too far?



Rush too far - Abbi Glines

Get ready to fall hard for Rush…

Fallen Too Far introduced us to Rush Finlay, the gorgeous charming son of a famous rock star, and Blaire Wynn, the girl from Alabama who rode into Rosemary Beach, Florida, in a pick-up truck with a gun under the seat looking for her estranged father. United under one roof by the surprising marriage of their parents, Rush and Blaire couldn't hate each other more. But it only took a summer to for everything to change…

Fallen Too Far was Blaire's story. Now it's time for Rush to share his side, and for readers to fall all over again!
 



Twisted Perfection - Abbi Glines 

My future was about to be completely thrown off track because Della Sloane was under my skin, and I had to have her. I couldn't ignore it anymore. . . . I'd gotten close enough to her to see deeper. 

Della Sloane is not your average girl. Yearning to break free of her dark and sheltered past, Della plans a solo road trip to experience real life on her own terms. But the trip is nearly cut short in the little beach town of Rosemary when she realises she can't even pump her own gas-until Woods Kerrington shows up, more than willing to help out a pretty girl in need. 

Woods's family wants him to settle down with a wealthy woman in pearls, but he can't resist this carefree girl in cutoffs passing through town. A one-night stand should have been enough, but months later, Woods can't get the irresistible Della out of his head. 

When a twist of fate brings Della back to Woods, all signs point to trouble if they don't keep their distance. Neither is truly free, and a relationship could destroy both of them. With their hearts on the line, Della thinks the safest bet is to walk away. But Woods isn't about to let that happen…


Simple Perfection - Abbi Glines (SPOILERS)

Woods had his perfect life mapped out for him. Rise up the ranks of the family business. Marry the rich girl of his parents’ dreams. Pretend that wealth and privilege was all he’d ever wanted. Then a girl named Della breezed into town, a beautifully imperfect stranger who captured his heart and opened his eyes to a new kind of future. Woods is ready and willing to sacrifice everything for her when the sudden death of his father leaves him with his mother to care for and a business to manage.

Della is determined to be strong for Woods, even as she’s quietly falling to pieces. No matter how far from home she’s run, the ghosts of her past have never stopped haunting her. Struggling to hide her true feelings from Woods, Della fears she can’t be his rock without dragging him down into the darkness with her. But is she strong enough to let go of the last thing holding her together



Take a chance - Abbi Glines 

When Harlow Manning's rocker father goes on tour, he sends her to Rosemary Beach, Florida, to live with her half-sister, Nan. The problem: Nan despises her. Harlow has to keep her head down if she wants to get through the next nine months, which seems easy enough… until gorgeous Grant Carter walks out of Nan's room. Grant made a huge mistake getting involved with a girl with venom in her veins. He'd known about Nan's reputation, but still couldn't resist her. Nothing makes him regret the fling more than meeting Harlow, who sends his pulse racing. Yet Harlow wants nothing to do with a guy who could fall for her wicked half-sister - even if there are no strings between Grant and Nan. Grant is desperate to redeem himself in Harlow's eyes, but did he ruin his chances with her before he even met her? 


Suite Francaise - Irene Nemirovsky 

Over fifty years after acclaimed novelist Irène Némirovsky's death in a concentration camp, her daughter decided to find the courage to read her journals. What she discovered was an incredible story...

Set in 1940s France and based on the international best-selling work of Irène Némirovsky, SUITE FRANÇAISE follows beautiful Lucile Angellier who awaits news from her husband, a prisoner of war whilst leading a stifled existence with her domineering mother-in-law.

And Finally the last two books are the first two books in a saga 

Ross Poldark - Winston Graham

enduring enmity with powerful George Warleggan.

Top 5 Wednesday - Favourite Jokester Characters - 1st April 2015

So this was kind of difficult I read more historical fiction and there are not many jokester characters but I managed to get Five

So in no particular order

5. Tyrion Lannister

He's not really a jokester but he has an amazing wit and I love him. He's a jokester in his way.


4. Kenji Kishimoto 

I just remember so seriously funny quotes from Ignite Me the last book in the series and he's just always stuck with me as a funny jokester. 




3. Isaac (TFIOS)

For me Isaac is a fun person he makes jokes about his condition and is funny and its not in a terrible way the author could have gone two ways with Isaac and I'm glad he went the funny route.



2. The Marauders

The original pranksters of Hogwarts it is universally acknowledged that The Marauders were funny jokesters that ruled Hogwarts and I would love a book series from there time at Hogwarts.


And finally you cannot have this list without ...

1. Fred and George Weasley 

From there skiving snack boxes  to innocently pretending to be each other they were the ultimate jokesters and I don't think you could have anybody else at number 1 because they were perfect just they way they were.


Until next time my lovelies

All That Glitters - Holly Smale Book Review

All That Glitters (Geek Girl, #4)Title - All That Glitters 
Author - Holly Smale 
Series - Geek Girl
My Copy - E-ARC from NetGalley 
ISBN - 0007574584 (ISBN13: 9780007574582)
My Rating - 4.5/5 stars
Goodreads - All That Glitters

Synopsis 

"My name is Harriet Manners, and I am still a geek." The fourth book in the award-winning GEEK GIRL series. Harriet Manners has high hopes for the new school year: she's a Sixth Former now, and things are going to be different. But with Nat busy falling in love at college and Toby preoccupied with a Top Secret project, Harriet soon discovers that's not necessarily a good thing...




OK so for the non- spoiler section there isn't much i can say but to give you a quick over view, Harriet and her family have just got back from New York and Harriet is trying to make some good first impressions on her first day of Sixth-Form (16-18 yr olds) and trying to get over her break up with gorgeous boyfriend Nick who has gone back to Australia to spend more time with his Family. But after a disastrous first day when every one thinks shes a show off know it all, her modelling career gets exposed when a campaign she did goes up every where, this book was full of laughs and tears. Holly Smale knows how to write characters that are real and relatable and i suggest you read this book and this series because it is a brilliant YA Contemporary book. 

  

OK so if you haven't read this book stop reading NOW SPOILERS AHEAD 


So we come back and we are back in England, and we start of like in the previous books with Harriet stating what she believes to be fact for example Geek girls first line was "My name is Harriet Manners, and i am a Geek" and in all that glitters its "My name is Harriet Manners, and i am a genius" i love these first lines i don't know why they are just very quirky and British.

So lets talk about Harriet's friendships in this book, so since Nat and Toby were avoiding Harriet and then her Modelling Career was exposed a lot of people started pretending to be her friends and i will admit as soon as it happened i knew it wasn't going to end well, and it was all revealed at the party that they were only there because they thought people she modelled with would be there, but i was shocked that India was actually nice and that she wasn't part of the bad crowd and i was annoyed with Nat & Toby at first but when there motivations were revealed i was really happy that they were only doing that so that Harriet could make some new friends. 

Next topic has to be Nick, this book was full of surprises when she was writing the letters saying she missed him and it had me in tears i really felt her pain it was extremely real, and when nick was doing his interview and he says that she broke his heart it didn't register till it was revealed that he had written to her and said that he would come and stay in London and go back to modelling that broke my heart i was sobbing at that. On the other hand completely understand why she didn't reply was because if she said yes and he went back to modelling after some time, he would probably end up resenting her and if they did a long distance relationship it probably wouldn't have worked and she did the only real option and that was to let him go no matter how much she loved him and that is true love. 

There was not a lot of modelling in this book it was mainly about her personal relationships, so there isn't much to say about that but the past picture from book 2 make an appearances everywhere from bus stops to shop windows and i loved the title of this book and the way it went with the story 

Overall this book made me laugh out loud, and sob tears of sadness but i wouldn't change a thing 

I cannot wait for the next book in this series because its a brilliant series that should be so much more popular 

Happy Reading

Beautiful Redemption - Jamie McGuire !! SPOILERS !!

Title - Beautiful Redemption
Author - Jamie McGuire
My Rating - 5 / 5 
Goodreads - Beautiful Redemption
ISBN - 1502541858 (ISBN13: 9781502541857)

Synopsis - If A Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever. But what if he didn't love you, first?

No-nonsense Liis Lindy is an agent of the FBI. Deciding she is married only to her job, she breaks off her engagement and transfers from Chicago to the field office in San Diego. She loves her desk. She is committed to her laptop. She dreams of promotions and shaking hands with the director after cracking an impossible case.

Special Agent in Charge Thomas Maddox is arrogant, unforgiving, and ruthless. He is tasked with putting away some of the world’s toughest criminals, and he is one of the best the Bureau has to offer. Though, as many lives as he’s saved, there is one that is beyond his reach. Younger brother Travis is faced with prison time for his involvement in a basement fire that killed dozens of college students, and the media want a conviction. Travis’s only saviour is his unusual tie to the mob. In a deal that will spare his brother, Thomas has agreed to recruit Travis into the FBI.


Liis is stubborn, defiant, and yet somehow softens Thomas’s rough edges, making her the perfect agent to accompany him to the ceremony. Posing as a couple, they must travel to Travis & Abby’s beach vow renewal and give him the news, but when the pretending ends, she finds herself wondering if they were pretending at all. 



OK let me start by saying this was one of my most anticipated book of the year and it didn't disappoint it was for me fun fast exciting and at times emotional.

Now there is a review on amazon saying that its unemotional and yes some parts are, but Thomas just lost the woman hes was in love with to his younger brother i mean that would make me a bit emotionless toward people, but what i found emotional was the way Thomas was dealing with his and Cami's break up and the fact that he didn't even go home for thanks giving because she was there and also the parts where he was worrying about Travis's reaction to his recruiting him.

So lets start with our female protagonist Leiis ( Like Geese with an L ) i think its the first time i have read a book where the female lead isn't Caucasian Leiis is Half Japanese and half Irish. it didn't register until i finished the book. And she is feisty and as Thomas says lacks finesse.

I will admit some parts of this book seemed rushed and a bit too quick for how things were progressing. But it didn't take away from the story.
Now lets talk about the minor characters, so you have Val, Joel & Sawyer who are Thomas and Leiis's co workers we didn't really get to know them that much but i was really shocked to find out that Val and Sawyer were married and he cheated and now shes in a relationship with Joel. But we did see a soft side to sawyer when he helped Leiis unpack, then we have the awkwardness between Thomas and Cami and that scene where Leiis shots just as the music goes off

on to another point we found out who I'm guessing is the protagonists for the last two books

Falyn is with Taylor and apparently Tyler has been chasing Ellison Edson forever so we were finally introduced to all of the characters and got to see more of what we saw in A Beautiful Wedding and the Walking Disaster epilogue. 

Over all this was a good fun book that kept me entertained the whole way through and i cannot wait for the next book in this series.

All Fall Down - Ally Carter Spoiler Free Review

All Fall Down (Embassy Row #1)Title - All Fall Down
Series - Embassy Row
Author - Ally Carter
My Rating - 4.5 / 5
Goodreads - All Fall Down
ISBN - 1408334372 (ISBN13: 9781408334379)
My Copy - E-ARC from NetGalley
Release Date - 5th February 2015

Synopsis - Grace can best be described as a daredevil, an Army brat, and a rebel. She is also the only granddaughter of perhaps the most powerful ambassador in the world and Grace has spent every summer of her childhood running across the roofs of Embassy Row.

Now, at age sixteen, she's come back to stay - in order to solve the mystery of her mother's death. In the process, she uncovers an international conspiracy of unsettling proportions, and must choose her friends and watch her foes carefully if she and the world are to be saved



First let me start by saying any Ally Carter book for me is a must read, because she is an amazing author who write such wonderfully complex characters. I really enjoyed this book its a sort of mystery where our lead protagonist is trying to find the man who killed her mother. 

In the beginning of the book i was a bit apprehensive when we met the two male characters Alexei and then Noah i thought there was going to be a love triangle and it was going to take away from the book but like in Carters other books a love interest for Noah was put in there pretty quickly, but at the same time we didn't really get a sense for Alexei because we didn't really see him, but you can definitely see something happening in the future between them i have a weird feeling its going to a Romeo and Juliette where the families hate each other. 

So even though at time All Fall Down seemed like it was slow and just building the world and characters at the same time you had a lot of action, and scenes that make you want to go back and re read to see how you missed it. 

 This book is not a love story, its not a thriller its about a girl who wants the TRUTH and even if it starts World War Three she will get the answers shes looking for 

(Spoiler Review Coming Soon)

Night School - C J Daugherty Spoiler Free Review

Night School (Night School, #1)Title- Night School
Author - C J Daugherty
My Rating - 4 / 5
Goodreads - Night School
ISBN -1907411216 (ISBN13: 9781907411212)

Synopsis -  
Allie Sheridan’s world is falling apart. Her brother’s run away from home. Her parents ignore her. And she’s just been arrested.

Again.

This time her parents have had enough. They cut her off from her friends and send her away to boarding school, far from her London friends.

But at Cimmeria Academy, Allie is soon caught up in the strange activities of a secret group of elite students.

When she’s attacked late one night the incident sets off a chain of increasingly violent events. As the school begins to seem like a very dangerous place, she finds out that nothing at Cimmeria is what it seems to be.

And that she is not who she thought she was.


So if like me by looking at the cover and by reading the synopsis you think its a paranormal romance, think again. And that is what i loved about this book is the way Daugherty wrote scene like a branch snapping while being alone in the Forest it could of been anything a pack of wild animals or a group of assassins its a mystery you don't now what is behind it whether it is paranormal or mundane it keep you entertained and at the end of the book leaves you wanting more.

Some Points on the book 
  • Yes there is a love triangle which the book could probably do without because right now it dosen't really add anything to the story.
  • if you have read Secret lives by Gabriella Poole its a bit similar where there is a secret order within the school 
 So the main character Allie at first she is rebellious and some one i wouldn't normally connect with but as i read on and read her story and how she uses counting to stop her anxiety and in the end i loved her knee high Doc Martins and all 

Over all this was an fast paced book and i cannot wait to carry on with the series.

Until Next Time

January 2015 Book Haul

Hi so in the month of  January i got --- Books

and first i will show my kindle books i got this month ...

Stepbrother Dearest - Penelope Ward 

You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you.

When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be.

I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here.
I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room.
But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him.

At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. Then, things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night.

Just as quickly as he’d come into my life, he was gone back to California.

It had been years since I’d seen Elec.

When tragedy struck our family, I’d have to face him again.

And holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane.

I had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again.

Stepbrother Dearest

As if going to the same college as her football star ex wasn’t bad enough, her father, a Texas high school coaching phenom, has decided to make the jump to college ball… as the new head coach at Rusk University. Dallas finds herself in the shadows of her father and football all over again.

Carson McClain is determined to go from second-string quarterback to the starting line-up. He needs the scholarship and the future that football provides. But when a beautiful redhead literally falls into his life, his focus is more than tested. It's obliterated.

Beautiful Redemption (The Maddox Brothers, #2)


  
now on to the Physical Books 

Breathe - Abbi Glines

Sadie White's summer job isn't going to be on the beach life-guarding or working at rental booths like most kids her age. With her single mother's increasing pregnancy and refusal to work, Sadie has to take over her mother's job as a domestic servant for one of the wealthy summer families on a nearby island.

When the family arrives at their summer getaway, Sadie is surprised to learn that the owner of the house is Jax Stone, one of the hottest teen rockers in the world. If Sadie hadn't spent her life raising her mother and taking care of the house she might have been normal enough to be excited about working for a rock star.

Even though Sadie isn't impressed by Jax's fame, he is drawn to her. Everything about Sadie fascinates Jax but he fights his attraction. Relationships never work in his world and as badly as he wants Sadie, he believes she deserves more. By the end of the summer, Jax discovers he can't breathe without Sadie.

Breathe (Sea Breeze, #1)


Because of Low - Abbi Glines 

In my debut novel, Breathe, Sadie may have fallen in love with the teen rock star, Jax Stone, but readers fell head over heels for Marcus Hardy. This is his story…

Marcus Hardy had hoped to enjoy a year away at college while he put the summer he’d rather forget behind him. But instead, he’s jerked right back to the coastal town of Sea Breeze, Alabama due to a family crisis. His dear ol' dad found himself a girlfriend only a few years older than Marcus. So now his sister needs help dealing with their mother who is mentally falling apart. The only bright spot to returning is the fascinating red head who sleeps over several times a week. The problem is she's sleeping in bed with his new roommate, Cage York.

Willow “Low” Foster needs a place to live. Running to Cage’s apartment every time her sister kicks her out isn’t exactly a long term solution. Juggling her courses at the local community college and a part time job doesn’t produce excess income. But Cage has a new roommate and suddenly sleeping over at her best friend’s apartment isn’t such a bad thing. Not when she gets to see those sexy green eyes of Marcus Hardy’s twinkle when he smiles at her like he wants her there.
Even though Cage seems a little territorial where Low is concerned, Marcus finds time to spend with Low without upsetting his roommate. Cage may use his small college baseball star persona to sleep with every hot female in his path but he’s still under the disillusion that when he’s through sowing his wild oats, he’s going to marry Low. Marcus intends to change that assumption for both Cage and Low. Until his carefully laid plans come crashing down with a revelation he never expected. He’ll have to choose between Low or his family. Because once the truth comes out.... there’s no other choice.



While it Lasts - Abbi Glines 

Maybe driving home after a few (or more) shots of tequila had been a bad idea, but hell, he did it all the time. The cops had to have been freaking bored to have pulled him over. He wasn’t even swerving! That’s Cage York’s story and he’s sticking to it.

Unfortunately, his baseball coach isn’t buying it. Cage has a free ride to the local junior college for baseball -- or he did, until he’d gotten a DUI. Now, Cage has to decide: does he drop out and give up his dream of getting noticed by a college in the SEC, and possibly making it into the Major Leagues -- or does he give in to his coach’s demands and spend his summer baling hay?

Eva Brooks planned out her life step by step when she was eight years old. Not once over the years had she lost sight of her goals. Josh Beasley, her next door neighbour, had been the centre of those goals. He’d been her first boyfriend at seven, her first kiss at ten, her first date at fifteen, and her first tragedy at eighteen. The moment she’d received the phone call from Josh’s mother saying he’d been killed along with four other soldiers just north of Baghdad, Eva’s carefully planned life imploded in the worst way possible.

Cage isn’t real happy with his closet-sized bedroom in the back of a foul smelling barn, or his daily interactions with cows, but he knows that if he doesn’t make his coach happy then he can kiss his scholarship goodbye. Only a sick and twisted man would decide his punishment was to be working on a farm all summer. No hot babes in bikinis waiting to meet a Southern boy to make her vacation complete. Just him and the damned cows.

Oh -- and an uptight, snarky brunette with the biggest blue eyes he’s every seen. But she doesn’t count, because as hard as he’s tried to charm her out of her panties - he’s pretty sure she’d rather see him hung from the rafters than let him get a taste of her pretty little lips


  
Just For Now - Abbi Glines

The day Preston Drake figured out that wealthy women paid well for a set of tight abs and a pretty face his life turned around.

The run down rat-infested trailer he had shared with his alcoholic mother and three younger siblings was now only a place he visited to pay the bills and stock the pantry with food.

He no longer worried about his family starving or living without electricity. The money he made entertaining rich older women more than covered his family’s needs and his own. He had it all figured out. Except…

There was this girl.

She was as innocent as he was tainted.

Amanda Hardy wished her knees didn’t get weak when Preston walked into a room. She hated the fact her heart raced when he flashed his smile in her direction. He had a different girl in his bed every night. He was the kind of boy a smart girl ran from. So, why was she coming up with ways to get close to him? Even when it was obvious he wanted to keep her at a distance.

Maybe her heart knew something the world didn’t. Maybe Preston Drake was more than just a pretty face.
