Elements Of Chemistry By Penny Reid

What the hiccup??!! My friends insisted I read it right away, I didn't realize it's not a stand alone. So I also had to endure the Bunsen burner in my pants for anxiously waiting for them to get together. This Penny is one smart cookie, thank goodness kindle has a built in dictionary. I had to effing look for the word "vociferous". 

I tell you reading a trilogy is a pain in my gluteus Maximus.. But Elements of Chemistry made it tolerable. For a moment just like in the book or with a special person it became my safe place. It's nice to have someone like that in your life. A friend who would be willing to embrace you for what you are and would call you on your bad behavior. I admire Kaitlyn's disposition in life, she was able to walk away from the love of her life because she needed to do what's right. -JB


Finally going to bed at 2:30 am, thanks Penny for keeping me up all night! Thank you book buddies for forcing me to read it. Hehe. I'm hard to persuade, but you know,, I love books with the same intensity as the heat of magma.. Ow Penny! What the hiccup??!!! 

Parts 1-3: Elements of Chemistry
This book has been split into 3 novels. 
Part 1: ATTRACTION * Part 2: HEAT * Part 3: CAPTURE

PART 1: ATTRACTION
One week.
Private beach.
Invisible girl.
Jerk-faced bully.
What’s the worst that could happen? 
Kaitlyn Parker has no problem being the invisible girl, which is why she finds herself hiding in various cabinets and closets all over her college campus. Despite her best efforts, she can’t escape the notice of Martin Sandeke—bad boy, jerkface bully, and the universe’s hottest, wealthiest, and most unobtainable bachelor—who also happens to be Kaitlyn’s chemistry lab partner. 
Kaitlyn might be the only girl who isn’t interested in exploiting his stunning rower’s build, chiseled features, and family's billionaire fortune. Kaitlyn wants Martin for his brain, specifically to tabulate findings of trace elements in surface water.
When Kaitlyn saves Martin from a nefarious plot, Martin uses the opportunity to push Kaitlyn out of her comfort zone: spring break, one week, house parties, bathing suits, and suntan lotion. Can she overcome her aversion to being noticed? Will he be able grow beyond his self-centered nature? Or, despite their obvious chemistry, will Martin be the one to drive Kaitlyn into the science cabinet of obscurity for good?

SURVIVING ICE is a New Adult Romantic Suspense novel, and the fourth novel in in K.A. Tucker's Water Series.

SURVIVING ICE is set to be released October 13, 2015!





About SURVIVING ICE:

Ivy Lee, a talented tattoo artist who spent the early part of her twenties on the move, is looking for a place to call home. She thinks she might have finally found it working in her uncle’s tattoo shop in San Francisco. But all that changes when a robbery turns deadly, compelling her to pack up her things yet when they need the best, they call him.

That’s why Sebastian Riker is back in California, cleaning up the mess made after a tattoo shop owner with a penchant for blackmail got himself shot. But it’s impossible to get the answers he needs from a dead body, leaving him to look elsewhere. Namely, to the twenty-something-year-old niece who believes this was a random attack.

Who needs to keep believing that until Sebastian finds what he’s searching for.

Ivy has one foot out of San Francisco when a chance encounter with a stranger stalls her departure. She’s always been drawn to intense men, so it’s no wonder that she now finds a reason to stay after all, quickly intoxicated by his dark smile, his intimidating strength, and his quiet control.

That is, until Ivy discovers that their encounter was no accident—and that their attraction could be her undoing.

And don’t forget BURYING WATER, BECOMING RAIN and CHASING RIVER, the first three books in this thrilling series…

About BURYING WATER:

The top-selling, beloved indie author of Ten Tiny Breaths returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.

Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him?

Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.

The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.

About BECOMING RAIN:

Luke Boone doesn't know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it—the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he's finally getting his wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set—one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity. Though it's not exactly legal, Luke's never been one to worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain.

Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game—at only twenty-six years old, she's one of the most successful undercover officers in the Washington, DC, major crime unit, and she's just been handed a case that could catapult her career and expose one of the West coast's most notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she'll need to go deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year-old nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle's footsteps.

As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her wonder if she'll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she'll even want to. ​

About CHASING RIVER:

Armed with two years' worth of savings and the need to experience life outside the bubble of her Oregon small town, twenty-five-year old Amber Welles is prepared for anything. Except dying in Dublin.  Had it not been for the bravery of a stranger, she might have. But he takes off before she has the chance to offer her gratitude.

Twenty-four-year-old River Delaney is rattled. No one was supposed to get hurt. But then that American tourist showed up. He couldn't let her die, but he also couldn’t risk being identified at the scene—so, he ran. Back to his everyday life of running his family’s pub.  Only, everyday life is getting more and more complicated, thanks to his brother, Aengus, and his criminal associations. When the American girl tracks River down, he quickly realizes how much he likes her, how wrong she is for him.  And how dangerous it is to have her around. Chasing her off would be the smart move. 

Maybe it's because he saved her life, or maybe it's because he's completely different from everything she's left behind, but Amber finds herself chasing after River Delaney. Amber isn’t the kind of girl to chase after anyone. 

And River isn't the kind of guy she'd want to catch.

Conviction by Lesley Jones_SALE!!!



To celebrate the end of Lesley Jones' kick arse trip and UK signings, she's putting Conviction on sale on Amazon for the first time ever. 



Conviction by Lesley Jones Book Summary

She was mine. Our love, unquestioned. Our futures planned. But she didn’t show. All that we 
had, all that we meant, and after all that was said, she just didn’t show. That one act changed 
everything, but it especially changed me and from that moment on, there was no going back. 
No words of love, no whispered promises, just sex and drugs and rock and roll. No one gets a 
piece of Reed, but what they will get is the night of their life, the chance to let go, break their 
own rules and enjoy the best, the dirtiest, filthiest sex ever… along with the other four people 
in my bed. 

I thought he loved me, I believed everything he said, every promise that he made but then, 
when I needed him more than I’d needed anyone in my life, and when I was at my most 
vulnerable, he let me down. He chose to take a different path and leave me to pick up the 
pieces of my now broken life. I was changed forever and chose the easy option letting others 
take charge of my destiny, until, once again, I’m let down in the cruelest of ways.



Dirty filthy sex.

Love.

Heartbreak.

Betrayal.

High emotion and angst.

Everything and more that you would expect from a Lesley Jones novel.

Here's to Falling by Christine Zolendz

Here's to Falling by Christine Zolendz




Every girl has that one guy…that one guy who steals her heart and never gives it back.

We were all friends…until we weren’t.
We depended on each other…until we couldn’t.
We were in love…until we were ripped apart.
We moved on…even when we didn’t want to let go.


This is our love story.


**This standalone novel contains material that some may find disturbing. Intended for mature readers only.

This book was inspired "By True Events".

5+ Unforgettable stars!

Nope. I don't have any reviews for this book. But here's some advice if you still want to read through this.

Stop.

Stop reading this review and just read the book. Trust me. The BEST way to read the book is going to it blind, with just the blurb to give the hint of what the story is or are all about. 

I encourage you to refrain from reading any reviews, much more sneak a look for spoilers. And if in the duration of your reading you are tempted to peak in the next few pages to know what happens next.

Please. Don't. You'll thank me for it later. 

Read it from word to the next word. Sentence after sentence. One page to the next. Chapter to chapter.

Before you know it you'll be laughing or giggling from reading something funny. You'll have tears in your eyes. You'll have to stop to take a little break. A little breathing space to ease some ache. Wipe a tear or two from your eyes. And release the breath you didn't realize you've been holding until you've read the last chapter. And smile.

But if you still want a little more push. Here it is:

"I've heard people say that what you remember is not the whole truth; it's our thoughts of what we wanted things to be remembered as.
They believe that we change our memories, that we just fabricate them into pasts that we can live with.
Do I believe that?
No. I believe I remember, every little detail."

The story shifts from past to present and commence with the younger Joey, Charlie and Jase. (And no, it's not a love triangle.) The innocence and friendship of these three was a delight to read and you'll experience them growing up, until they turn 17, when everything happened and Charlotte "Charlie" Stone's life was changed.
"Remember I told you about my BOOM..That was my first one..It wrecked me..My next BOOM, it completely destroyed me." 
I'm not sure how to write something without giving away anything. All I can say is that when things went downhill you'll probably have the urge to stop reading. Because some of the things that happened will not be easy to read.

"...one day you'll feel like your world is crashing, spinning out of control, whatever the Hell that is to you, whatever storm that comes, whatever tragedy floods your life....believe me we all get touched by some tragedy in our lives." 

Charlie was one of the characters that I admire the most, she was so innocent as a child, feisty and witty as a teenager. And a totally different person as an adult. The things she went through... those are not easy. Not for anyone. 

"I didn't want to one of those girls who needed to be rescued.
I didn't want to be one of those girls who wanted to be rescued.
I wanted to be the heroine of one of those books where I rescued myself."


I admire her strength and courage, for writing her story. For sharing what she went through.

"This wasn't how my story was supposed to be written.This wasn't the way I wanted my story to go.So I needed to rewrite it.Word for word.Rewritten.Because I was so young.So young.And utterly broken."


It was an emotional roller coaster ride. It will make you laugh so hard, it will make you bawl, and then will make you lie on the floor while you collect your self up. I don't want to give away too much, because one of the thrill in reading this story was the mystery. But trust me, things will get better. 

"Our kisses healed our tears.Our touches healed our sadness, and we healed each other.There was nothing that could ever come between us.We were each other's forever."


This is a story about love, innocence, first love, true love, friendship, and loyalty. I hope you are convince by this review to read the book already. You can find it at the link below. 

"Come on, Charlie, come with me down the rabbit hole...I promise I'll be better than any adventure you could ever read."

Sawyer Bennett: Zack (A Cold Fury Hockey Novel #3)

                             

Expected Publication Date: June 9, 2015

Rising star Zack Grantham has been stuck in a downward spiral of grief ever since the car accident that left him a single dad and put his career on hold. Back on the road with the Carolina Cold Fury and still crippled by emotional baggage, he’s in need of some serious help with his son. But while the nerdy new nanny wins his son’s heart, Zack isn’t sure he’s ready for a woman’s touch—even after getting a glimpse of the killer curves she’s hiding under those baggy clothes.

Kate Francis usually keeps men like Zack at a distance. Though his athlete’s body is honed to perfection, he refuses to move on with his life—and besides, he’s her boss. Still, the sparks between them are undeniable, tempting Kate to turn their professional relationship into a personal one. But before she makes a power play for Zack’s wounded heart, Kate will have to open him up again and show him that love is worth the fight.

Tere's Review:

ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review**


4.5 Stars.



I must admit when I started reading this series, I wasn't really that excited as I am not a Hockey fan. there are some terminologies that i just couldn't get but i must admit that the first 2 books in this series got me interested and i keep on wanting more from these hot players! 



Zack is a Carolina Cold Fury Hockey Player and he got into an accident that killed his partner and mother of his child. He was devastated and he was left alone to look and care for his kid, the adorable Ben. Entered the geeky live in nanny, Kate. She was pretty cute with her geeky and dorky attitude but beneath that facade is a superlicious hot babe. Just what Zack needed. Kate is pretty good with her job taking care of little Ben and that made her off limits to Zack. He couldn't afford to loose Kate just because he's attracted to her - but their chemistry is off the charts that they just have to give in, but Zack is still hurting from and with all his past issues he couldn't commit himself to Kate. They have the no strings attached sexual relationship but as their affair goes further Kate started to hope and one day she just couldn't take anymore the hot-cold attitude of Zack. Ugh. I hate Zack but I guess that was part Sawyer's plan because it's really sweet and caveman-ish on how Zack claimed Kate back. :)



Zack for me is the best among the 3. It is recommended that you read the first 2 stories in the series to better understand what happened to Zack but this can be read as a stand alone. Highly recommended for Hockey and Sawyer Bennett Fans out there! :)
