The Only Boy Book Blast


















The only boyThe Only Boy by Jordan Locke




Mary is stuck in Section One, living with three hundred women in a crumbling hospital. She wonders what life was like two centuries ago, before the Cleansing wiped out all the men. But the rules—the Matriarch's senseless rules—prevent her from exploring the vacant city to find out.




Taylor's got a dangerous secret: he's a boy. His compound's been destroyed, and he's been relocated to Section One. Living under the Matriarch means giving up possessions, eating canned food and avoiding all physical contact. Baggy clothes hide his flat chest and skinny legs, but if anyone discovers what lies beneath, he'll be exiled. Maybe even executed.




Mary's never seen a boy—the Matriarch cut the pictures of men from the textbooks—and she doesn't suspect Taylor's secret. If she knew, she might understand the need to stop the girls from teasing him. If she knew, she might realize why she breaks the rules, just to be near him. Then again, she might be frightened to death of him.




Taylor should go. The Matriarch is watching his every move. But running means leaving Mary—and braving the land beyond the compound's boundaries.





Lost and Found


Lost and found tour







Lost and Found by Karey White




Lydia was supposed to have an adventurous and exciting summer. Instead she's done nothing more than read and eat takeout. Now it's time to go home, and what does she have to show for it? A big fat nothing. Unless, of course, her trip to the airport somehow turns into something more than just a flight home.




Blake feels like he's been sent on a wild goose chase. While work is piling up back in Denver, he's on the other side of the country, hunting for some mysterious box that his grandfather left him. Well, no more. Nothing inside that box could possibly be more important than the opportunity to make it as the youngest partner at his firm. So he's going home, and that's that. But that's before he discovers his flight has been cancelled.




When these two strangers meet at the airport, they make a split-second decision to search for the box together. Maybe with both of them on the hunt, Lydia can have her adventure and Blake can find the box. And maybe, if they’re lucky, they’ll even find some romance.

Scents and Senses Book Blast







scentsScents and Senses: Supernatural Friends. What the fairy tales didn’t tell you




Playing the role of a knight in shining armor is more complicated than it seems in the storybooks, as sixteen-year-old Joy discovers when she repeatedly comes to the rescue of a fifteen-year-old human. But when she meddles in the girl’s social life, Starra sends her packing.




Starra is determined to completely dissociate herself from the subterranean creature that has manipulated her life and cast her into the limelight. However, her resolve is soon tested when she becomes involved in a critical situation where supernatural assistance can enable her to carry out a daring plot.




Eventually, Starra’s involvement with her new other-wordly friends extracts a heavy price when she is beset by challenges that range from the down- to-earth struggles of a typical teenage student, to the realm of the fantastic. Nothing prepares her, however, for the ultimate challenge.




 




Fall Into Love

Fall Into Love (Naughty Nookie, #1)Fall Into Love by Serena Akeroyd

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I received a free copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This erotic short is the first in a series, that might should be an entire book instead of 60 pages here and there. However, I haven't finished them all so I will say no more about that. It is short, a taste of things to come maybe.

Fall Into Love starts out slow. Simone is cynical about love as she is trying to get past a divorce. She meets Zane and after a HOT one night stand thing take a twist that definitely is not forseen leaving us with quite a cliffhanger. Simone is one who is living in the past and we hear way too much about her ex for my liking. I want to go forward, live in the here and now. The language is also not what you would expect from southerners transplanted to NYC. We ain't so proper down here.

Overall, its not a bad read and hopefully a good start to this series. The next installments will stand on their own merits and we shall see what cums.... comes.

Prejudice Meets Pride Book Blast


Prejudice Meets Pride by Rachael Anderson Book Cover 




Prejudice Meets Pride by Rachael Anderson

After years of pinching pennies and struggling to get through art school, Emma Makie’s hard work finally pays off with the offer of a dream job. But when tragedy strikes, she has no choice but to make a cross-country move to Colorado Springs to take temporary custody of her two nieces. She has no money, no job prospects, and no idea how to be a mother to two little girls, but she isn’t about to let that stop her. Nor is she about to accept the help of Kevin Grantham, her handsome new neighbor, who seems to think she’s incapable of doing anything on her own.


Fun, compelling, and romantic, Prejudice Meets Pride is the story of a guy who thinks he has it all figured out and a girl who isn't afraid to show him that he doesn't. It’s about learning what it means to trust, figuring out how to give and to take, and realizing that not everyone gets to pick the person they fall in love with. Sometimes, love picks them.

Humming of Numbers

The Humming of NumbersThe Humming of Numbers by Joni Sensel

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I thought this was quite an interesting read. Aiden is a young novice monk, getting ready to take his final vows to enter the monastery. Living in 11th century Ireland and coming from a large family, he really has few options open to him. He also has a special talent that allows him to hear numeric vibrations from everything and everyone around him. He meets up with Lana who has been drug to the monastery by her biological father, and he hears an 11. This is the highest number he has ever heard from a person. He soon learns there is much more to her besides an 11.

After meeting Lana, a raid by Vikings is thrown into the mix and this gives a little drama and adventure to the story. We learn more about Lana and Aiden through all this but its never really explained why he hears numbers. Quite possibly its a form of synesthesia which really could not be explained at this time in history.

Overall, I really enjoyed this YA book. Even with the violence its not too over the top for the age group. It drew me in from the beginning and I had difficulty putting it down.

Baby's Got Back

Baby Got Back: Anal EroticaBaby Got Back: Anal Erotica by Rachel Kramer Bussel

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I received a free ecopy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, what a collection! This book certainly covered the entire spectrum of erotica and all of them were worth reading. Whatever your erotic reading desires this one is sure to please. Everything from m/f couples wanting to add some spice to the bedroom to m/m couples looking to change things up, this book has everything in between.

My favorite story was about the woman in the bookstore that was searching for a way to enjoy sex after being diagnosed with endometriosis. HOT! to say the very least.

Every story contained in this anthology is well written and no two are alike. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading erotica.

Life in the Palace Book Blast






Life in the PalaceLife in the Palace by Catherine Green




“We need to talk,” Tal said. Then I knew it was going to go badly. ‘We need to talk’ is the conversational equivalent of walking into your basement without turning on the light, on a dark and stormy night, when a known psychopath is on the loose. You might as well cut to the chase and slit your own throat.




Chloe Diaz assumed three things: that when Tal said that she was one of The People sent from heaven to maintain the cosmic balance, it was code for ‘I’m a pamphlet distributing, incense burning, religious weirdo;’ that the gorgeous Seth Wilks would never be her soul mate and that she’d never have to choose between them. Chloe was wrong.

Epherium Chronicles Book Blast


EmbraceThe Epherium Chronicles: Embrace




Book one of The Epherium Chronicles




Hope. Captain James Hood of the Earth Defense Forces remembers what it felt like. Twenty-five years ago, it surged through him as a young boy watching the colony ships launched by mega-corporation Epherium rocket away. He, like so many others, dreamed of following in the colonists' footsteps. He wanted to help settle a new world—to be something greater.




Then came the war...




Hope. During years of vicious conflict with an insectoid alien race, it was nearly lost. Though Earth has slowly rebuilt in the six years since the war, overcrowding and an unstable sun have made life increasingly inhospitable. When mysterious signals from the nearly forgotten colony ships are received, Hood is ordered to embark on a dangerous reconnaissance mission. Could humanity's future sit among the stars?




Hope. Hood needs it now more than ever. As secrets about the original colonists are revealed and the Epherium Corporation's dark agenda is exposed, new adversaries threaten the mission, proving more dangerous to Earth than their already formidable foes…
