Elle Kennedy – After Hours Series Reading Order

By 4 Comments

Considering how much I LOVED this author’s latest indie read “The Deal” I just had to know more about her. She’s got a TON of books out (many, traditionally published) like this FIGHTER MMA BAD BOY series!

Ratula recommends ’em!

“Read them all. They were sooo great!!”

I HAVE to read this. She knows how to write a perfect fun/angsty balance romance and I have a feeling this delicious looking fighter series will rock my world!

About book #1:

When it comes to sex, good girl Skyler Thompson always plays it safe, choosing stable and sedate over wild and thrilling. She doesn’t do one-night-stands, but one look at sinfully sexy Gage Holt and she’s willing to reconsider. He makes her want to be bad for once in her life, and she’s prepared to take what she wants. read more

By 5 Comments

Mary Beth needs our book help! She’s looking for a book title, an she’s got the “gist” for us, so maybe someone here knows?

She asks:

“I’m trying to remember the title to a book I read. I follow your blog all the time and thought if anyone can help me it would be you. It’s about a girl who is dating a swim suit photographer. She follows him on location and when one of the models is sick aka morning sickness she becomes her replacement. Can you help? Thanks” read more

Book Review – The Deal by Elle Kennedy

By 72 Comments

The Deal (Off-Campus Book 1)
Absolute “new adult” angsty-romance reading PERFECTION!!!!!!! Yes. I SAID IT. Romance reading perrrrrrrfection! In fact, could very well be my favorite of 2015. Could I have already found it? I could very well have, but either way, this one has cinched a solid spot in my forever-favorites category. In fact, I was only 75% into the book when I publicly declared it a 5-star read.

The author could have ended it, MID-SENTENCE, mid-angsty-fight moment, with “the end” and I still would have been 5-star wooooo-hooing it. YES. I loved it THAT much. Okay sure, had that been the case, I would have amended my review with a note warning y’all about the abrupt ending… TEE HEE! BUT I just knew, it didn’t matter how she ended it at that point, I was in LOVE with this read. read more

Author Claire Wallis Shares Her Own Audiobook Narrating Experience + she has 2 Audiobooks to Giveaway!

By 29 Comments

*squeeeee!!* I just received an awesome little bit of “audiobook” insight by one of our favorite authors who narrated her own book! THE book that had so many of us gasping in the end eek (check out my 4.5 star review of Push. You’ll see ;)). But I had no idea she narrated it in audiobook format! (by the way, it is bargain priced even in audio…) When I found out, I had SO many questions about her experience, and she was all to happy to help!

Claire Wallis: I enjoyed reading your post about audiobook narrators. Not sure if you’re aware, but PUSH was recently released as an audiobook from Audible Studios, and I was lucky enough to read for the main character, Emma. It was a really interesting process. If you’d like, I’m happy to share some details on how the process worked from my end and what I was feeling as I did the narration. Also, I have several free downloads to share, if you’d like to give one away to a reader. read more
