Waiting on Opposition

Image
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post hosted by Breaking the Spine . Each week bloggers participate to share a book they are eagerly anticipating the arrival of. I don't participate in WoW very often any more. Mainly because my TBR list is SOOO incredibly long and it helps to not be tempted to add tons of books every week by the awesome suggestions everyone features. I save my few postings for when I'm really, really stoked about a book coming out. This one had a cover reveal yesterday. This week I'm waiting on: Opposition (Lux #5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout Expected Publication: August 5, 2014 Preorder Buy Link: Amazon In the stunning climax to the bestselling Lux series, Daemon and Katy join forces with an unlikely enemy to ensure the survival of not only their love for each other, but the future of all mankind.  Opposition  will bring forth a new dawn to the Lux universe, where man must stand with alien to survive, and the future, no matter the ...

Thief - Review

Image
Thief (Love Me With Lies #3) By: Tarryn Fisher Published: July 21, 2013 273 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Note to Self Love is patient; love is kind. Love doesn't boast or brag. There's no arrogance in love; it's never rude, crude, or indecent-it's not self absorbed. Love isn't easily upset. Love doesn't tally wrongs. Love trusts, hopes, and endures no matter what. Love will never become obsolete. I'll fight for her. Thief Caleb Drake never got over his first love. Not when he got married. Not when she got married. When life suddenly comes full circle Caleb must decide how how far he is willing to go to get the aloof and alluring Olivia Kaspen back. But for every action in life there is a consequence, and soon Caleb finds out that sometimes love comes at an unbearably high price. MY REVIEW: I gotta say - this series is exhausting but this last book takes the cake! Poor Caleb can't catch a break ...

Dirty Red - Review

Image
Dirty Red (Love Me With Lies #2) By: Tarryn Fisher Published: December 21, 2012 229 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Dear Opportunist, You thought you could take him from me, but you lost. Now, that he's mine I'll do anything to keep him. Do you doubt me? I have everything that was supposed to be yours. In case you were wondering; he doesn't ever think about you anymore. I won't let him go....ever. Dirty Red Leah Smith finally has everything she has ever wanted. Except she doesn't. Her marriage feels more like a loan than a lifelong commitment, and the image she has worked so hard to build is fraying before her eyes. With a new role and a past full of secrets, Leah must decide how far she is willing to go to keep what she has stolen. MY REVIEW: Man, oh man. I don't think I've ever read a book where I despised the main character THIS MUCH ! Leah is a red-headed, spoiled, selfish brat of a woman. And she...

Toxic - Review

Image
Toxic (Ruin #2) By: Rachel Van Dyken Published: March 4, 2014 340 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Everyone has a secret...  Gabe Hyde is on borrowed time. He's been hiding his identity for over four years-hidden from the world that used to adore him--obsess over him--driven to the edge of insanity by one poor choice.  But that one choice, altered the course of his life forever.  Pretending isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when pretending means hiding your real self from the people that care about you the most. But if anyone ever discovered the truth it wouldn't just be his life at risk--but hers.  Saylor doesn't hate men.  Just Gabe.  Only Gabe.  He's a reckless, happy-go-lucky, silver spoon fed pain in her ass. Everything about him makes her more and more confused. Unfortunately they both donate time at the same Group Home. If she wasn't afraid of flunking, she'd be long gone. S...
