Whatever Life Throws At You by Julie Cross (Excerpt & Giveaway)

Whatever Life Throws At You

Julie Cross

Life loves a good curveball…

Seventeen-year-old Annie Lucas's life is completely upended the moment her dad returns to the major leagues as the new pitching coach for the Kansas City Royals. Now she's living in Missouri (too cold), attending an all-girls school (no boys), and navigating the strange world of professional sports. But Annie has dreams of her own—most of which involve placing first at every track meet…and one starring the Royals' super-hot rookie pitcher.

But nineteen-year-old Jason Brody is completely, utterly, and totally off-limits. Besides, her dad would kill them both several times over. Not to mention Brody has something of a past, and his fan club is filled with C-cupped models, not smart-mouthed high school “brats” who can run the pants off every player on the team. Annie has enough on her plate without taking their friendship to the next level. The last thing she should be doing is falling in love.

But baseball isn't just a game. It's life. And sometimes, it can break your heart…

Hey everyone!  Happy Release Day for Whatever Life Throws At You and Julie Cross!!  I've got book info, an excerpt, and a giveaway - so good luck! I hope this book makes your TBR!

(Books 2&3 covers and blurbs below)

One email set my life on an unexpected path.

Dear Candace,
I’m sure you're getting flooded with messages, but I wanted to attempt to stand out among the rest and just get right to the point. I won’t attempt to woo you in a message. I won’t try to impress you with boastful words. If you're here for mind-blowing sex, and a lot of it, then I would venture to say that trying to impress you with well worded niceties is of no value. Instead, I will tell you what I’m looking for and if you are looking for something similar then I look forward to your reply. I like to fuck hard. I like to fuck slowly. I also enjoy making love. I like to be pleasured. I love to give pleasure. I like to laugh. I like to make others laugh. I love the female body and testing its limits. I want a lover who will explore new things without shame or embarrassment. I want to make a woman come so hard and in so many ways that her body designs its own special language just for mine.
I look forward to possibly learning what you like, too.
Regards,Brisban C. 

My reply will change everything I thought I knew about SEX.

I'm going to review all 3 editions at once, only because it's the easiest way to do a serial type novel.  I read them all at once, and so the break points, in my brain, don't really exist. But it doesn't matter - because I freaking loved this book!

Nobody Asked Me - Sunday Edition #2

Another Sunday is here.  It's about 9am here, and I still haven't decided what to make this post about!!  Hmmm.... Let's go with Location Stigma. 

Loving Eden Playlist by TA Foster (+Giveaway!)

Loving Eden

TA Foster

Have you ever thought of packing up everything you own and moving halfway across the country?

I’m talking about leaving your entire life behind—friends, family, school—with no turning back. No? Me either, but that was before a week of spring break changed my life forever. Before I did something I never thought I’d do at twenty-two. Before I fell in love with Grey.

Sometimes happily ever after isn’t always what you think it will be.

Hey!  So I read this book... and it was pretty good.  But without reading the first book, Kissing Eden, I felt like I missed out on the whole romance and angst part of New Adult that I just love.  So rather than post my review, I'm going with a playlist!  Now by all means, check out this book - but I'd definitely read the first book, well, first.  As for this list - I love it!!  It's got some of my favorite songs, so I hope you like it!

Spring Break Renegade by Elise Covert (Review)

Title: Spring Break Renegade
Series:  Standalone
Author: Elise Covert
Published: August 2014, Seascribe Publishing
Format: Ebook received for review
Length: 71 pages

When college student Meredith Walsh finds herself stranded on the side of the country road, she certainly doesn't welcome the approach of a tattooed man on a Harley. But Ren Stimson's blue eyes and dangerous smile capture her attention. His offer of spending a week with him in return for a ride back to Berkeley, with his lifted eyebrow making clear the implications of the offer, tempts her.

Her common-sense self demands that she refuse such a foolhardy plan. But then, there is a part of her that craves the chance at one last wild spring break.

The week will bring Meredith adventure, lust and danger. And more. 

Spring Break Renegade will bring you along on Meredith's erotic journey filled with outlaw bikers, bar fights, vengeful women, and lots of sex!

This is how a novella length novel should be done.  I've never heard of this author before, but based on these 70 pages, I am definitely going to be watching her.  Spring Break Renegade took me by surprise, and I fell in love with the characters in a big way.  BIG.

Scratch by Rhonda Helms (Excerpt & Giveaway!)

Scratch

Rhonda Helms

The most painful scars are the ones you never see. 

In her DJ booth at a Cleveland dance club, Casey feels a sense of connection that's the closest she ever gets to normal. On her college campus, she's reserved, practical-all too aware of the disaster that can result when you trust the wrong person. But inexplicably, Daniel refuses to pay attention to the walls she's put up. Like Casey, he's a senior. In every other way, he's her opposite. 

Sexy, open, effortlessly charming, Daniel is willing to take chances and show his feelings. For some reason Casey can't fathom, he's intent on drawing her out of her bubble and back into a world that's messy and unpredictable. He doesn't know about the deep scars that pucker her stomach - or the deeper secret behind them. Since the violent night when everything changed, Casey has never let anyone get close enough to hurt her again. Now, she might be tempted to try.

So I'm sure you've seen Scratch around.  I know I have!  Well, I'm here today with a sexy excerpt and a giveaway!  What a great way to get through hump day, right?  So what do you think of Scratch?  Are you going to read it?
