REVIEW: Breathe by Kristen Ashley
There's
nothing like the first time . . .
In Carnal, Colorado, Faye Goodknight is the town's quiet, shy
librarian. She may also be Carnal's last remaining virgin. For years, Faye has
had a crush on Chace Keaton, but the gorgeous cop has always been unattainable.
She's resigned to live contentedly with only her books for company-until Faye
suddenly meets Chace alone in the woods . . .
Chace doesn't think he's the good guy everyone believes him
to be. He's made a lot of choices he regrets, including denying his feelings
for Faye. Through his choices, he's come to believe the pretty librarian is too
good for him, but after their time in the woods, Chace realizes that she may be
his last chance for redemption. Soon, their long simmering desires grow to a
burning passion. Yet always casting a shadow over their happiness is Chace's
dark past . . .
Her typical elements were all there.
It started with a bang, Chace had his share of A-hole moments to get my juices
flowing and it had a hot, stirring romance between a virgin and a broken cop.
The courtship was very arousing because of Faye’s inexperience and Chace’s
he-man qualities in the bedroom. I still blush occasionally when KA writes her
sex descriptions and dialog. Sometimes Chace’s choice of words were shockingly
direct and made me flinch…in a good way.
Faye has to be one of my favorite KA heroines. She was
innocent, vulnerable and sweet; family oriented, dedicated and such a big, fat
LIAR! I loved her backbone! Faye had a brand of quiet that was strong and
fierce and boy, could she grandstand when she got pissed. A couple of scenes I
was cheering her on, thinking you go girl! (view spoiler) She went all
Clint Eastwood, I could just hear, “Go ahead, make my day” coming from her
sweet, little librarian mouth. All the girls were back from the previous
stories helping Faye get her man.

REVIEW: Obsidian by Jennifer Armentrout
TITLE: OBSIDIAN
AUTHOR: JENNIFER ARMENTROUT
GENRE: YOUNG ADULT
PUBLISHED: MAY 8 2012
Starting over sucks.
When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring… until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.
And then he opened his mouth.
Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something… unexpected happens.
The hot alien living next door marks me.
You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon’s touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I’m getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.
If I don’t kill him first, that is.

Trista Stevens
Things went quickly sour with the already married Harry when she found out their affair had a bigger repercussion. Heartbroken, she had to do what was best for everyone.
Just as planned, she and Lindsey went to visit Emma in Greece. Trista thought this vacation was going to be a way for her to heal and come to terms with of the gargantuan mistakes she’s made in the past.
Taylor Montgomery thought himself a rational man, but meeting the fiery Trista made him think twice. Yet, her mask slips once in awhile. She carried pain and secrets hidden from within. Her fire and vulnerability made him want to protect her all the more. But Trista wouldn’t have any of it.
One thing Trista should know about the indispensable man though. He's not the kind who gives up easily.
Come what may.
