Following my heart, one book at a time...
There’s been an influx of fantastic “circus” book bad boys in our midst. Fire breathers, dare devils, magicians… performers that steal our breath (and hearts) away! For those looking for more like “The Traveling Man” and “Hearts of Fire” this list is for you! And for those looking to fall in love with a new kind of “hero”, I bet you’ll find him in one of these!
In fact, I fell HARD a few years ago for a “circus sideshow” character that absolutely captivated me.

Hrmmm… audiobooks, huh? I’ve always been tempted but never relented. Until now. ‘Cause… lately I’ve been noticing some awesome favorite books on sale that are in “audiobook” format appearing in my Facebook news feed. Lots of our fellow readers are audiobook fans. In fact a few insist on ’em!
I never purchased them (even on sale), ’cause I always assumed I’d drift, ya know? Having control of my own reading experience seemed to be the only way I could properly take in a book. But I’m hearing more and more about how awesome audiobooks are. The convenience (especially for those that can’t sit and read, because they’re doing something, so instead, they listen…). Why not, right? Same story, same length. All the details are there… we’re just not reading it ourselves. Someone is reading it to us. Heck… that sounds awesome!
Sexy Stepbrother romance books are cropping up everywhere!! I’ve had my own personal book-step-brother crush… remember my “Rush Crush“? Ohhhhh it was INTENSE. Just a touch taboo, ’cause you know… sure it’s considered totally forbidden. But to some, kinda not, in some circumstances. Especially if they’ve never been raised together, are pretty much adults, and their parents end up marrying each other.
No wait. Still totally taboo and forbidden, ’cause OMG she’s canoodling with her step-brother. That would TOTALLY give their parents, the heebs, I think.
Well… it’s obvious I’m BIG on crazy twisty-turny books that shock the heck outta me. I like ’em “psych-thriller” (as it seems those are the ones I’ve been reviewing lately). But ANY book that leads me in a certain way to believe a certain “thing” (or to deduce it and anticipate it) only to SHOCK me right outta my expectations and/or comfort zone, well… I JUST LOVE that!
I especially love it when it’s clever. SO well done that I went on “a certain story’s journey in my own head” and the author was actually taking me on a different journey entirely. GAH! 
*blink blink*
<— First, congratulations to K.A. Linde for her upcoming bad-boy romance book release. Take Me With You releases tomorrow!! He’s the lead singer of a band, and she’s a total good girl college student. It’s book #2 and comes after this one: Take Me for Granted (#1). I LOVE her genre of angst! She turned my world upside down with her Avoiding Series! (Check out my review of book #1: Avoiding Commitment).
And second… did you guys know that she’s an AVID reader? I mean AVID. Sure… she writes angsty contemporary and NA romance and knows all about “bad boy book boyfriends”, but her favorite genre is something else entirely.
