Beta Reading Time...

I just printed my first copy of Unexpectedly and tomorrow it will be in the hands of my first beta :) She's warned me that her attention span is not the best so if a book isn't interesting there's no way she'll be able to finish it so this is a major test for me! I've given her and my other betas a week to read and give me their honest feedback. Then I'll give myself a week to make any necessary changes, which hopefully won't be too many (crossing fingers!). So, just in time for Christmas my book will be available for your reading pleasure or as a great gift for the bookworm in your life ;)

Sneak Peek #1

Sneak peek #1...

Suddenly his laughter stopped and I was pressed up against my car, the world around me spinning from being moved too quickly. I held onto his shoulders and closed my eyes while I focused on not throwing up all over him.

“What the hell Bryce?” I groaned barely above a whisper anything louder and I was sure I would vomit.

“Sorry,” he whispered placing his hands firmly on my hips to steady me. I swallowed hard when he pressed up against my chest to put my purse down on the hood of the car. “Are you okay?” he asked searching my eyes.

He asked if I was okay, but it felt more like he was asking if what we were doing was okay. Any thoughts or feeling of nausea was immediately forgotten. Pinned by the electrifying heat pulsating between our bodies I bobbed my head a fraction. I could feel the beats of my heart start to slowly drum through my veins and pick up in rhythm as I watched his eyes make their way down to my lips. Without thinking I licked them in preparation for a kiss. My breath caught when he squeezed down on my hips pushing me up against the car just a little more. His eyes traveled back up to mine asking for permission and again I bobbed my head a fraction unable to move or say anything more. The feel of his muscles move beneath my hands as he dipped down planting his lips tenderly over mine left me hypnotized.
 

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble by H.P. Mallory Review

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble by H.P. Mallory

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed this book, the supernatural elements and the romance was done just right. There were a few parts where I skimmed because Jolie's thoughts could run a little long! I'll definitely be reading the next three books in the series and hope I won't have to wait too long for the happy ending between Jolie and her sexy warlock ;) If you're trying to decide to read this book and can't find your answer in all the reviews it's free on Amazon and probably on other e-book sites I'd say get it and find out for yourself--hopefully you won't be disappointed!

Finally!

I'm finally there...well nearly there. I have two more paragraphs to go and then it's off to my betas! I'm incredibly anxious. Thankfully I don't have the bad habit of biting my nails or I'd have none to speak of!

Looking at the nearly finished product it's nothing like my initial outline and that I hope is for the better! I know I took a risk writing about something somewhat taboo, but when the story came to me I just could not let it go.

Now in honor of my near completion I've decided to release another little sneak peek this time something with a little more depth and insight into Mary's unexpected story. So read the Sneak Peeks post above and enjoy!

Fate Succumbs By Tammy Blackwell Review

Fate Succumbs by Tammy Blackwell

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This was not the ending I expected, but it was a good ending nonetheless. I fell in love with this story before I even finished the Destiny Binds and Miss Tammy continued to pull me in with Time Mends even when it became obvious my guy choice was never going to be The One (sigh)! My one and only dislike was that the buildup to the final battle with the Alpha Pack and Scout finally realizing who her one true love is felt really dragged out! Still, that wouldn't stop me from recommending this series because in the end it really was a great read :)

Mark of the Wolf by T.L. Shreffler Review

Mark of the Wolf by T.L. Shreffler

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is not just another werewolf story, because this is not your typical werewolf. Unlike some other werewolf stories where the hero is more than animal Gareth is as temperamental, unrefined and as wild as the wolf within. He can be protective and tender, but the urges of the wolf often outweigh sensibility. Rough around the edges and a face and body to crave, Maddy is instantly under his spell. The story follows Maddy a young 18 year old who tries to deal with the horrible life she’s been given when her mother committed suicide leaving her to be raised by an abusive step-father. Every time the abuse gets to be too much Maddy runs off into the woods behind her cabin home and one night at the tender age of 11 a young man finds her cold and scared. He carries her home and the pattern continues until she turns 14. Gareth is not just Maddy’s savior, at 18 he reveals to her that she’s his lifemate. That not the only thing he reveals, after he saves her from a vicious attack in his werewolf form he tells her what she saw was real and that he is an exiled werewolf. Hearing his story of how he was cheated out of becoming Alpha of his old pack, Maddy offers to repay the many times he helped her by helping him take back what is rightfully his.

Dark Summer by Lizzy Ford Review

Dark Summer by Lizzy Ford

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book in my opinion definitely deserves the 5 stars I gave it. The characters, their story, the magical world they live in it's all believable and very captivating. The tale of Summer an orphan from the age of four is a heart-wrenching one for sure. It's impossible not to feel what she feels and want her story to end happily-ever-after. Of course a good story takes you on a journey to that happy ending that Lizzy creates beautifully and leaves you wanting more! Dark Summer is filled with everything a reader like me can ask for in a YA story, it wasn't mushy at all, everything that took place between Decker and Summer was perfect timing especially where teens are concerned, the magical elements were fascinating and not over done at all. I can hardly wait for the second and third books!
