“Eleven months,” he said, voice deeper. “Eleven months, two weeks and three days. That’s exactly how long you’ve been avoiding me.”

Holy crap, did he just count that out to me?

There is something sexy about a guy who can call you out on your crap. There is also something sexy about a guy that notices things like how long one has been avoiding the other. Reece is one swoon worthy guy.

Waiting on Wednesday (16) Scorched

Hey y'all, thanks so much for stopping by my WoW!

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Sometimes life leaves a mark. 

Most days, Andrea doesn't know whether she wants to kiss Tanner or punch him in the gut. He is seriously hot, with legit bedroom eyes and that firefighter body of his, but he's a major player, and he never cuts her any slack. 

But when her life spirals out of control, he's there for her. The only problem is, no one else can save her... only she can save herself. 

Why am I waiting?

Okay so it is another JLA book- can I help that her books make me all warm and fuzzy? I kinda wanna know Andrea’s story. She was a great secondary character in Frigid and I want to see her get a HEA.

She stepped back and lost her footing, and suddenly she was hurtling toward the floor, one heel in the air and both of her arms flapping wildly to break her fall.

Out of nowhere, a warm, muscular pair of arms wrapped around her, catching her before she hit the ground. it took a few seconds to get her bearings back, but when she did, she noticed three things.

Waiting on Wednesday (15) The Witch Hunter

Hey y'all, thanks so much for stopping by my WoW!

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

The magic and suspense of Graceling meet the political intrigue and unrest of Game of Thrones in this riveting fantasy debut.

Elizabeth Grey is one of the king's best witch hunters, devoted to rooting out witchcraft and doling out justice. When she's accused of being a witch herself, Elizabeth is arrested and sentenced to die at the stake. Salvation comes from a man she thought was her enemy. Nicholas Perevil, the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, offers her a deal: he will save her from execution if she can track down the person who laid a deadly curse on him.

As she's thrust into the world of witches, ghosts, pirates, and all-too-handsome healers, Elizabeth is forced to redefine her ideas of right and wrong, of friends and enemies, and of love and hate.

Why am I waiting?

Come on who doesn’t like the thought of a wizard saving the very person meant to kill him. Poetic justice. Plus, I kinda like the idea of a person finding out all they know to be true is a lie.

“Good,” Ethan said softly, closing the distance between us. He leaned in, sending shivers up my spine. “Stay here with me,” he whispered. He wasn’t kissing me, but I could feel the brush of his lips when he spoke.

You know those almost kisses- the ones that almost turn into a real kiss but something interrupts the actual kiss. Oh how fabulous those almost kisses are.

Slowly, unable to resist, she wound her arms around his neck, curling her fingers into the soft hair at the nape of his neck. He took a ragged breath and suddenly he was bearing her down onto the bed, kissing her with a wild ferocity, as if her unspoken acceptance had snapped the thread of this control.

I love love love it when they lose control. Especially when it is an unplanned loosing of control.

Waiting on Wednesday (14) Charmed

Hey y'all, thanks so much for stopping by my WoW!

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Indie has spent the last few weeks frantically searching for Paige. She's tried every spell imaginable, but witchcraft has gotten her nowhere, and she's going crazy with guilt. Despite what her warlock boyfriend, Bishop, tells her, Indie knows it's her fault her best friend was kidnapped by the Priory. And with the Priory destroyed, finding Paige feels more hopeless than ever-especially when Indie discovers that Paige isn't even on Earth. She's trapped in Los Demonios, an alternate dimension of Los Angeles filled with evil paranormals. No one who has gone there has ever come out.

Fueled by terror and loyalty, Indie is desperate to find a way into the underworld prison. She'll worry about getting out later. But facing the dark world's most dangerous witches and warlocks on her own means keeping her plan hush-hush-and forging alliances with some sketchy people, including a seriously sexy sorcerer.

Sometimes a witch must keep secrets from the people she cares about most. And sometimes she isn't the only one with secrets… 

Why am I waiting?

I loved and adored the first book in this series- fast paced, easy on the eyes. Bishop was a sweetpie for a warlock and gave Indie all the space she needed. Cannot wait to see how Indie finds and gets Paige out of this miss.

The majority of Talents were some variation on those three areas, whether it was the ability to lift a car with one hand, move faster than a snake striking, or hear a coin hit the ground from a hundred feet away. And, as if all that wasn't enough, some folks could even conjure up their magic and hold balls of fire, lightening bolts, or poisonous clouds in the palms of their hands so that everyone could see and feel their power- and potentially be hurt by it.

Okay, I could not resist these two teasers today. One shows the awesome prisms that the series is based off of and the other shows you the heat between to two main characters. Lila and Devon have some serious chemistry.

Spellbinder Teaser

In Spellbinder you’ll learn:

When you play with fire, you might find things getting hotter for other reasons.

It’s possible for a girl to be kissed like she’d never been kissed and not even know who kissed her.

Magic moms are ten times worse than soccer moms.

The only thing better than going to Paris, is going to Paris with your two best friends. Well, it would be if someone wasn’t trying to kill you.

Sometimes the people you think you know the best, aren’t at all who you thought they were.

Some things are harder to forgive than others.

Family can work together and overpower dark magic.

If someone needs help and you ignore them, you may never forgive yourself.While a hug doesn’t fix everything, it can be exactly what you need at the moment.

Some people are willing to kill to win.

Eleven months ago, bartender and weir

d-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.

Inhaling heavily through my nose, my lids fell at the unhurried caress, my lips beginning to move with his, the kiss itself beautiful but puzzling by its seamless fit. The bloom of exploration that comes with kissing someone new was there as we slowly learned the contours of each other's lops, but there was no bumped noses, no teeth scraping, no hesitations- the way our lips fit together, the way out moths moved, was...flawless.

Sometimes you just need a perfect kiss. And man does this one get even more perfect.

Waiting on Wednesday (14) Seriously Wicked

Hey y'all, thanks so much for stopping by my WoW!

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

The only thing worse than being a witch is living with one.

Camellia’s adopted mother wants Cam to grow up to be just like her. Problem is, Mom’s a seriously wicked witch.

Cam’s used to stopping the witch’s crazy schemes for world domination. But when the witch summons a demon, he gets loose—and into Devon, the cute new boy at school.

Now Cam’s suddenly got bigger problems than passing Algebra. Her friends are getting zombiefied. Their dragon is tired of hiding in the RV garage. For being a shy boy-band boy, Devon is sure kissing a bunch of girls. And a phoenix hidden in the school is going to explode on the night of the Halloween Dance.

To stop the demon before he destroys Devon’s soul, Cam might have to try a spell of her own. But if she’s willing to work spells like the witch...will that mean she’s wicked too?

Why am I waiting?

I haven’t read a really good witch novel in a while. The cover is cute and looks like just what I need to get me back in love with magic.

The first teaser comes from someone close and personal to Kitty. The second comes from a guy in the story.  I love this cover- just how I picture Kitty.

Raining Romance Hop

Romance is defined as a quality or feeling of mystery, excitement, and remoteness from everyday life. Romance can come in many forms from opening a door, to holding a hand or even taking out a predator. When it is cold and deary outside you want to be warm and fuzzy on the inside.  You may cuddle up on your couch with a warm blanket, some hot tea and a great romance- I know do.  

We all have those go to authors- the ones we could read over and over again.  The ones who could write a manual on how to change the toilet paper roll and we would still buy it.  Here is a shout out to some of my favorite authors:

For this give away hop I will be giving away a $15 dollar Amazon gift card.

Bad girls burn hot…

Red is the color of Kia Alcott's hair.

It's her temper, which blazes hot and always gets Kia into way too much trouble.

And it's the color of fire. Fires that Kia can start…just by thinking about them.

When her latest “episode” gets her kicked out of school, Kia is shipped off to her grandmother, who works for the wealthy Blackwoods. It's an estate shrouded in secrets, surrounded by rules, and presided over by a family that is far from normal…including the gorgeous and insolent Ethan Blackwood.

Ethan knows far more about the dangers of the forest surrounding the estate than Kia can ever imagine. For this forest has teeth, and Ethan is charged with protecting the outside world from its vicious mysteries.

But inside, even the most vibrant shade of red doesn't stand a chance against the dark secrets of the Blackwood family…

Waiting on Wednesday (13) Scion

Hey y'all, thanks so much for stopping by my WoW! 

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Russ Devereaux used to have it all—loving father, beautiful best friend, a carefree life in a town he loved, and strong magic. He was the king of his happy universe. Five months ago, that life was taken from him. Do not pass Go. Do not collect two hundred dollars. 

He’s spent months fighting back and building himself a new life, in a new city, with new friends he now considers family. But suddenly, his new life might be in jeopardy of getting shot straight to hell just like the last one. Literally, this time. 

He’s discovered power inside of him—an ancient, dark power that he shouldn’t have, can’t explain, can’t control, and definitely needs to keep secret. He needs answers, but before he can get them, he finds himself arrested and on his way to face the supernatural council. The same council that stole everything from him the first time. 

As Russ struggles to keep his new power under wraps, his old life and he new one are about to collide and it’s bound to be explosive. He may not have all the answers he needs, but one thing is certain: he’ll be damned if anyone is taking his new life from him. That is, if he’s not just plain damned.

Why am I waiting?

I loved Russ in Supernatural and am hoping that he finds his happily ever after.
