Following my heart, one book at a time...
You know when you’re reading a book, and you’re enjoying it (or maybe you’re not) but you’re intrigued enough to stick with it? Whether it be because of adamant recommendations, or that “feeling” that something big is about to happen that will totally turn this book around, or “make” the story, you are in it for the long haul!
And then it happens. That *thing* that takes the story (or writing) from eh (or even good!)… to OMG EVERYONE HAS TO READ THIS!!!
Ricochet
This one caught my eye a few months ago upon its release, and nooooooo, not just ’cause of that gorgeous, mesmerizing cover ;)! It totally gave me a blurb jolt and I highlighted it big time:
“A few blurbs are giving me that coveted *jolt* …ESPECIALLY Ricochet (OMG… his wife is murdered so he exacts revenge by kidnapping the murderer’s wife… and you know how THAT goes).
I’m no longer Nick Ryder. I’m a masked vigilante. Faceless. Loveless. Fearless. A man with nothing left to lose—one who’s seen the dark and violent truth behind the city’s flawless veneer. Michael Culling doesn’t know who I am. Or what I want. All he knows is that I’ve kidnapped his beautiful wife… <— WHOA!”
Since I denied us the last few Saturday’s of reader favorites day, I thought I’d give us a second list today!! 😀
Jas sent us her list… and looking this one over, I see that she’s not only just discovered some of our old-indie-forever-favorites, BUT!!! She has also introduced ME to some new ones!!
YAY US!!
Hi Maryse,
I love favourite book lists! It gave me some great recommendations! I have way too many books that I love and it’s really hard to pick just ten. I’m going to pick my ten+ books based on these facts:
– read more then once
– made me cry
– still remember every single detail
– made me crazy with anticipation
– extra hotHere it goes:
YAY!!! I’ve received a few more reader favorites lists, recently, so our Saturdays are back on!!! 😀 Tonight, we’re featuring Tessa’s 2015 favorites list (and you can get to know Tessa even better, by checking out her Tessa’s Top Favorite Books List). It looks like she gave us this list awhile ago… but I missed it. I’m so glad I found it, now though. Better late than never, and this one is fun!!
P.S. We just found out more about Tessa!!
“Yep. I sing. I was classically trained, but darn if I don’t prefer other music. 
…Yep, opera. …Oh and the opera thing just means I won’t shut up and stop singing in stores with their bad elevator music. “

Great cover, great title, great author, great story! What a premise. That title says it all, and I could NOT resist making this one my next read.
I really enjoyed this sweet contemporary romance novel, because while it wasn’t one of the crazier-rides we love to embark on (nothing too gasp-worthy, or angsty) it gave us what we’ve come to love in our “new adult” love stories!
✔ A forced-roommates story between two ex-childhood friends, that are so far from it now, as adults.
