G'day readers!

This is the choices for feb/march 2013 in no order at all by the readers. This also doesn't mean they are new releases either. If you are anything like me your TBR pile is huge and awesome books doen't make it to me for a little bit and I'm like...Why the hell haven't I read this already?

There are a few we have recommended before, but readers are just getting to them and I kinda think if they hadn't heard how awesome the book is until now, maybe you haven't either. So, here they are:

Cover Reveal & Release for Whisky State Of Mind By Karlene Blakemore Mowle

I'm really loving this cover. It has attitude.

I bought this one today and I tell ya, I better be getting some time to read it before the weekend.

I love Karlene's work and this one I'm sure wont disappoint. 

Karlene has branched out into another genre (another fellow genre whore like myself) and I'm very excited by this N/A novel.

You can grab this beauty from amazon

BLURB
Whisky “Sky” McKenna, daughter of a once notorious motorcycle club president, just wants to live her own life, without her father’s baggage, without her grandparents’ controlling rules, and preferably without stabbing her obnoxious employer with a fork.
For months, the only thing that kept Sky dragging herself out of bed and off to her job was the brief few moments she got to stand behind her mystery guy at the coffee shop. She didn’t know his name—she didn’t care, all she knew was that those precious few moments each day she spent fantasizing about having his babies was the highlight of her pathetically, mundane life.
Then he walked back into her life. Sawyer Riley; six feet of broody denim and leather with a demand that would turn her life upside down.
Suddenly mundane was beginning to look pretty darn good. 
Holding onto her newly found freedom was proving difficult when everyone seemed hell bent on taking it away. How was she supposed to have a future when her past kept getting in the way?

Cover reveal for ENTANGLED By Annie Brewer

ENTANGLED – A NOVEL BY ANNIE BREWER

Maddy Walker has lived a difficult life in a small town in Colorado. After losing her mother in a horrific car accident as a child, her father becomes nonexistent due to the aftermath. She has to pick up the pieces of her crumbled life and move on. For all intents and purposes she’s an orphan. But thanks to her best friend Andi and her family, she’s not completely alone; spending most of her childhood and adolescence with them. After turning 18, she and Andi move in together and she makes a decision to move forward with her life, working and putting her past behind her. Only, another tragedy hits her world and she must relive everything she has tried to forget.

Noah Parker is ready to move away from the busy New York City life…and his dark past where he is harboring a lot of guilt and pain. He just wants a fresh start and being the destructive bad boy in town is not a way to do that. He doesn't ever date girls; it’s all about sex for him. He figures if he could block his pain and bury it, it will go away. Little does he know, it never just goes away. Moving to a small town close to his aunt, he’s hoping for a good change.

What he doesn't expect, is to meet Maddy. She turns his world upside down. He finds himself wanting to get to know her, not on a sexual level but a deep, emotional one. It seems they have more in common than they ever imagined. And they are both having a hard time denying their attraction to one another. But the more time they spend together, the more they learn about themselves and that in order to move on, you have to learn to let go. Can Noah and Maddy make their growing relationship work together in the midst of more heartbreak and tragedy? Or are their lives already too complicated as it is? In both Maddy and Noah’s POV, this is their story of loss, grief, pain and learning to overcome it all to gain happiness.

Recommended for mature audience 17+ due to language and sexual content.

A hot read coming to you soon - 18+

S. Pratt, author of RUINED has a voice I have fallen in love with. Yes a girl crush.
I was extremely lucky enough to get a read of this one prior to it's release on the 17th March of this year and I have to say within the first paragraph I was hooked.
I wanted to know what made her think she was so terrible, who Angel was and why they couldnt be together.
Oh me gawd, I have to say I am lust with Angel, he gets my heart and other things racing.
Well you know me, I hate spoilers so thats all I will say other than Shelly Pratt is a very clever author when she touched base with a complex topic that normally would bring up barriers and yet the way she wrote it, I had none.
Suspensful, H.O.T, romantic and emotional.
Well done! 5 star.

Awesome Teen read for all ages.

A Game Worth Watching is a book worth reading!!!

I had the privilege to read a book after hubs wentt to bed Valentines night and my birthday morning and it didn't disappoint!
Now that you have that straight, listen to me when I say...A Game Worth Watching by Samantha Gudger is a must read book.
It's sweet and had me smile, hug myself and damn it, I cried! Yep the salty ugly kind of cry.
Honestly, 5/5.
It was very well written and had me from go. I love the journey ALL the characters had to go through and how they grew with the help of One girl who thought she had zero effect on any soul. Riley and Emma are beautifully put together and there isn't one point in the book I could  fault.
I stayed up late Valentines Day and early rise on my BIRTHDAY no less and that's a day I should be allowed a sleep in; although I did have to work too. LOL. Anyway, I was running late for work and only had 6 pages to go...SIX pages! Who can leave a book at six pages to go?
A girl who needs to keep her job ;)
As soon as I got home though, I was jumping in my jammies because they are the best reading attire in the world and I flopped on the lounge ready for the finale...Samantha, God bless her imagination is a beautiful author and A Game Worth Watching has made it to my top love list.
Thank you Samantha!

P.S, I like Basketball ight now and I see Emma as Emma Stone if there comes a movie. Just saying!

Hot Read For January

BLURB Layla Jennings is a fiery, independent and level headed nineteen year old. Always playing by the rules and doing what’s right, she has been the apple of her father’s eye and her mother’s treasure. But moving to college in Long Beach is about to turn Layla’s world upside down. With the gorgeous, pierced, guitar playing, wannabe rock star Oliver living across the hall, Layla finds herself thrown into a world of music, money, torn friendships and blood simmering sexual tension.

But on taking a job in a local coffee shop she meets the deliciously handsome Jared Garrett. Convincing herself that he is a waste of oxygen she tries to put the young successful business man out of her mind. But when he continues to show up she finds herself constantly thinking of him. Dazzled by his boyish good looks and discovering a whole new world of carnal and erotic pleasures, Layla finds herself falling head over heels in love but with Jared hiding a vital secret can she ever truly trust him?

Review Hot! Yep, Marie knows how to knock your socks off ...and maybe a little more than socks.

This is an erotica read with a YA feel to it, but definitely 18+

I couldn't pick a side for almost the whole book, I kept swapping between Olly and Jarred, Olly and Jarred. If I could have both-wait that's way to erotic to talk about.

Best to just read it yourself, you're bound to love it! (Pun intended. LOL)
