After my hugely emotional reading-week so far (taboo angst, but OMG the angst was KILLER!!! – see my “Forbidden review“) I’m ready for some good ol’ fashion uber-romance, tattooed bad-boy intensity and the possibility of finding my next new book-boyfriend. And from the looks of the awesome reviews already on this MMA fighter book, I’ve decided “Irish” is my next. Well… at least my next read. 😉 So if anyone wants to read along with me, I’m starting this one —> Fighting For Irish after work tonight.

Signed Book Giveaway! “One Tiny Lie” by K.A. Tucker
Congratulations to K.A. Tucker for her paperback release today of her hit One Tiny Lie: A Novel! And to celebrate, she has one signed copy to give away to a lucky commenter here on my blog!
What’s it about?
In this follow-up novel to the top-selling Ten Tiny Breaths, Livie Cleary faces a new set of challenges as she navigates freshman year at Princeton, wild parties, and the gorgeous rowing team captain who is everything she doesn’t want in a guy, or so she thinks…
“Make me proud.” These were the last words Livie’s father ever spoke to her. In the seven years since her parents’ tragic death, Livie has done her best to keep this promise through her every choice, word, and action, while looking after her sister with strength and maturity. But with college right around the corner, unexpected challenges will test her resilience—and her heart.
Latest Paranormal & Contemporary Romance Book Releases – January 14th 2014
<— This cover is veryyyyyy enticing, and the fact that the hero is an MMA fighter makes it sound that much better! 😉 Plus, it has a crazy amount of awesome reviews already and it was just released yesterday! Today’s list consists of only one fighter that I know of, but we’ve got plenty of tattoos, boys with bad attitudes, billionaires with control-issues, one super-taboo sounding read (eeeep!), rock stars, physically scarred heroes and even brothers caught in a love triangle <— *waggles eyebrows* this one is REALLY calling me.
Latest Bargain e-Books – January 10th 2014
Happy Friday my friends!! A whole reading weekend ahead of me, and my next read could be anything. I’ve got so many options, but I’m not sure what I’m in the mood for. A bunch below have my attention, and specifically three that really have it. (Mine to Lose, Come to Me Quietly, Break In Two and Never Smile at Strangers annnnd Someone Else’s Love Story). Okay that was five. 
Then again, I’m thinking of backtracking and finishing the “The Bronze Horseman Trilogy” (I’m halfway through book #2, and I honestly have NO idea why I put it down way back when – I think it was back in 2012?). Probably some shiny new tattooed bad-boy distracted me (I was bad-boy crazy wasn’t I? Er… was? I should say “am“. Still.) Tee hee!
Latest Paranormal & Contemporary Romance Book Releases – January 7th 2014
BIG awesome new year release day!!! LOTS and LOTS that so many in our reading group are loving, listed below, plus, here’s the new release that I’m reading right now —> Brutally Beautiful by Christine Zolendz.
I conked out late last night so I wasn’t able to finish it even though I was on a roll, but it’s good!! So good. She’s running away from… well, let’s just say a BAD beating (you’ll get the details later), and he’s a famous horror author running away from his own real-life horror story. They meet… and it’s not so “meet-cute”. SO gooooood and he’s SUCH a gorgeous, arrogant, unapproachable, recluse of a jack-ass that I just LOVE to fall in love with. Think Matt Sky from “Night Owl“. If you’re in the mood for another like him (although not as dirty-mouthed, but definitely hard-to-love on purpose), then this is your man!
