Latest Paranormal & Contemporary Romance Book Releases – June 6th 2017

By 119 Comments

HAPPY NEW RELEASE DAY AND I JUST WANNA *SQUEEEE!!!* My mini-blurb jolt list below, has every single one of ’em now at the top of my TBR list, and I can’t choose which one is next. Should I choose one ALREADY from my TBR list, or one from this list right here?

Like: The Farthest Edge (Kristen Ashley, but of course!!! And while I had reservations about the female DOM aspect, I’ve been hearing good things about #1, and now #2 has a blurb that has me even more intrigued. He lives off the grid!!), When Life Happened (OMG. HECK. YES!!!!!!! I was waiting for this one to finally be released in ebook format, and my wish has come true. It sounds so forbiddeny, and anxiety-inducing, AND it’s Jewel E Ann, so again… but of course!! 😉 ), Way Down Deep (two of my favorite authors teamed up to write this one together. CARA McKENNA anyone??? And Charlotte Stein. Both have such a unique voice, and “go there” in their storytelling. I CANNOT WAIT!!!!), Do Not Become Alarmed (PSYCH-THRILLER just for me!!! Two families go on a vacation together and all of their kids go missing), Mr. Right-Swipe (she goes on a dating website and sees the hot teacher from work, on it), One is a Promise (sounds like a totally angsty love triangle – she’s in love with a bad-ass that is deployed (breaks her heart along the way?? I think so), and then a “suit” comes along – totally not her type, but she falls for him, too), and of course Notice (CREEPY STALKER ALERT!!! He becomes obsessed with her. Even lays under her bed while she sleeps. *shudders*). MINE!!! 😛

Oh! And don’t forget to check out yesterday’s earlybirds. Awesome-sounding ones on there, too: 18 Earlybird Book Releases

P.S. Let me know if I’m missing any or if you loved any (from this list or elsewhere).

BARGAINS & READER RECOMMENDATIONS (NOTE: bargain priced when I added them, but prices can change on Amazon, so make sure to check before you finalize your order. Sales listed are for Amazon U.S., however some of the Amazon UK links also reflect the sale!):

  • Jaded Regret: The Complete Series by L.L. Collins <— SERIES BUNDLE ALERT!!! ROCK STAR SERIES and it’s bargain priced!
  • Devotion by Alexa Riley <— LOL THE AUTHOR WARNING!!! “Warning: He’s a billionaire set to kidnap the ballet dancer he sees on stage. What could possibly be any more wonderful!?” I skimmed reviews and it sounds like he’s SUPER-controlling. I love reading those, ’cause they can be so infuriating! And it’s super-bargain priced.
  • When It’s Real by Erin Watt <— SHE DATES A FAMOUS STAR…. and Julie 5-STARRED IT!
Julie: I read When It’s Real yesterday and loved it! I love pretend relationships and this one didn’t disappoint – 5 stars!!
  • The Tutor by K. Larsen <— PSYCH-THRILLER RECENT RELEASE & Grey read it too, and she recommends it!
Grey: there’s The Tutor… and while I only rated this as 4.25 stars, (which for me, is still an EXCELLENT rating, :lol: ) I’m thinking I may need to bump my rating up slightly. Because here I am, a month later, and I’m still thinking about it. It’s dark… I had full on pretzel tummy… There’s something about the way K. Larsen writes, that just hooks you and draws you into the world she builds. It’s different this time, more staccato-ish in nature to me at first, but then the methodology behind it sunk in and it totally made sense and vibed with the story. Yeah… Jezebel feels, I had them. …You’ll love The Tutor… And there’s something there at the end… Not a cliffy. But a gift of sorts… *giggle*
Amy: When It Rains left me with puffy eyes and a swollen, snot-filled nose after one of the biggest book-induced ugly cries I’ve ever experienced. OMG that little projector thingy which put stars all over the room… :cry:
  • The Butterflies by Kimberley Waldron <— PSYCH-THRILLER ALERT!!! Janie recommends it!
Janie: I found The Butterflies by Kim Waldron this weekend! I’ll be done with it tonight and that makes me sad! I literally didn’t put it down once I started it Friday! Excellent read, kimberleywaldron.com is her site with the info. If you like a good thriller, then this is the one you should read next!

Book Review – The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid

By 3 Comments

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel
This is one of my favorite authors and I have been so excited to read her latest (in fact, I received a review copy, and I held off so I could devour it right around release day) and that time is here! Almost. 😉

And I just want to say, that this is one of those that has that perfect, gasp-worthy, last line that brings it all together.

Maryse: I am reading The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo!!!! :D !!!!! FINALLLLLLLLLY I can jump in. *squeeeeeee*!!!!

Grey: Seven Husbands… EPIC!!! *Squee* gah! I can’t wait until I can gush with someone else about this one!

Amy: Grey! I can’t wait to read Seven Husbands!! Of course it has been preordered for me since I first heard about it here. ;)

Nay: …right now, the book I’m most anticipating is The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid!

And it was good! It held me captive from start to finish, even if I did’t particularly “fall in love” with anyone (I figured I would… you know… due to the number of husbands we’d be introduced to. ;)). Because, a few of this author’s stories are more life stories over love stories (although love ALWAYS factors in). And this one was no different. Obviously. With a title like that. But this wasn’t exactly that kind of story.

Yet, it had so many incredible “life” messages, such meaning and poignancy, that I fell in love with it as a whole.

So what’s it about?

It’s a story within a story. While it’s, at first, about an up-and-coming journalist (Monique), specifically (and surprisingly) requested by an aging, elusive starlet, to write an article about her,

“What are you saying?” I ask, and shift slightly in my chair.

Frankie clasps her hands in front of her and rests them on the desk., leaning toward me. “I’m asking if you have the guts to go toe-to-toe with Evelyn Hugo.”

Of all the things I thought someone would ask me today, this would probably be somewhere around nine million. Do I have the guts to go toe-to-toe with Evenlyn Huge? I have no idea.

“Yes,” I say finally.

“That’s all? Just Yes?”

I want this opportunity. I want to write this story. I’m sick of being the lowest one of the totem pile. And I need a win, goddamit. “F**k yes?”

it becomes so much more. It becomes an enlightenment.

“You have a once in a lifetime opportunity here, Monique. You can see that right?”

“Of course.”

“So do yourself a favor and learn to grab life by the balls, dear. Don’t be so tied up in trying to do the right thing when the smart thing is so painfully clear.”

And even more so, it becomes a personal revelation (oh yes!!! There is A TWIST!!!!). Oh boy was I excited to find out what this “you’re gonna hate me” secret would be. 😉 But the twist is not the only revelation.

LIFE. Her life… OUR lives, the human condition in general, that is one of the most amazing revelations of all.

Evelyn takes a second to answer, and in that moment I realize that she has just agreed to the very thing she swore she would never do – a Vivant cover – just so I won’t walk.

Evelyn wants me for something. And she wants it bad.

And now I’m finally starting ti suspect that  should be scared.

But, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. The actual story:

This is the story of a shrewd and designing (read: somewhat manipulative) 50’s starlet/pinup/one of the most famous actresses ever that started from the bottom and worked her way to the top, in any way she could. Without shame, without reservations, she uses everything she has (yes, even the casting couch plays into this), making deals with the “devils” (aka: some of the worst in the industry) to get everything she’s ever dreamed of.

I had made my way three thousand miles from where I was born.  I had found a way to be in the right place at the right time. I’d changed my name. Changed my hair. Changed my teeth and body. I’d learned how to act. I’d made the right friends. I’d married into a famous family. Most of America knew my name.

And yet…

And yet.

But what she’s dreamed of doesn’t only consist of materialistic things (at least not at first). Getting away from her creepy father. Becoming self sufficient. Being independent. Being successful. Being rich. And most of all, being famous. And with fame and wealth comes the desire for even more fame and wealth, and Evelyn finds herself locked in a never ending cycle of give and take. Lots of take… but considering Hollywood, and all it was back then (and probably still is right now)… oh boy does she sacrifice a ton, and give so much of herself, for it.

Years and years of self-sacrifice and personal injustices, forcing herself to be the “Evelyn Hugo” that everyone expects her to be (even her, after all.. SHE did reinvent herself) while desperately just wanting what the heart wants.

I was going to get married. To someone I loved this time. To someone that made me fee the way I was pretending to feel in the movies.

This IS an epic love story, but there’s so much expected of her, and so much that she has to give up to keep what she has, and continue on her rise to the top, that she finds she’s slowly losing herself in the process. And everyone else.

But there are a few constants that hold her together, and held MY heart, too.

For the first time in a very long time, I felt like I had family.

You do not know how fast you have been running, how hard you have been working, how truly exhausted you are, until somewhat stands behind you and says, “It’s OK, you can fall down now. I’ll catch you.”

So I fell down.

Oh… don’t get me wrong. This woman does not consider herself a victim (although she is at times, victimized and villainized). That said, she has her priorities, deals with them accordingly, knows exactly what she wants, stays focused no matter what, and always finds a way to get it. Her life is a series of successes and failures, both professional and personal, but it’s in her retelling of it, that it all comes to fruition. It all comes full circle. And boy is it turbulent.

And that’s where I’m ending it. Does it end well? Is there an HEA? My lips are sealed 😉

But I absolutely recommend reading this if you’re into amazing writing and raw yet poignant storytelling.

4 stars! <— Honestly? 5 stars for the writing and storytelling, but since I FIVE-star loved a few of this author’s other books like CRAZY (two that had me in tears and in hysterics and in emotional ecstasy), I’m being a bit more selective with this one even though it is SO good and most will absolutely love it!.

Kristen Ashley – The Honey Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

KRISTEN ASHLEY ALERT!!! This is her latest series, and book #2 has a scene in it that she considers her all-time favorite scene of all she’s ever written!!! *gasp*!!!

Janet: Kristen Ashley’s The Deep End: The Honey Series. … its about a Dominatrix but I DARE you to read it, and tell me you didn’t love it! The characters were just so likeable and somehow she turns subject-matter that seems often seems hard to relate to, and over-the-top, into a big love story with kink.

About book #1:

Olivier isn’t sure what he’s gotten himself into when he joins the Honey Club, only that a dark part of him hungers for the lifestyle offered by this exclusive club. Here, no boundary will be left untested…and one’s deepest fantasies will become an exquisite reality.

When Amélie invites Olivier to surrender, she gives the alpha submissive what he craves. Soon they both find themselves falling harder than they ever anticipated—but as their connection deepens, the truth about Olivier’s past could destroy everything…

Gripping and seductive, The Deep End is the first book in a sensational new series from bestselling author Kristen Ashley.

SATURDAY MORNING BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!!!! 😀 ➔ MARVEL COMICS FANS!!! AMAZON is having a SUPER-BARGAIN SALE ON THEM!! And I mean… SUPER-BARGAIN on a TON of these comics (some are even 0.80 cents!)!!!

Welp. My eyes are all puffy and red, and super-tight as if the lids are water-logged, ’cause I watched Me Before You last night and well… you know. I cried. And cried. And UGLY cried. And sobbed. I may start crying again, even.

My sweet MinPin, Hobbit. 🙂 Isn’t she SO CUTE??!

My adorable puppy, Hobbit, stared at me in confused wonder. And then she jumped in my lap, and snuggled her head right into my neck and totally cuddled me. And I sobbed all over her ears. Then she feasted on the tears on my cheeks. neutral Not sure if that’s a sweet thing, or a creepy thing. LOL!!!!!!

Whyyyyyyy????? Why do I do this to myself? Why? Because it’s a FREAKING AWESOME story, that’s why. One of the most devastatingly beautiful love stories ever. Even one of my best friends (Karai) from high school tried to come to my rescue:

Maryse: OMG I’M SO GONNA CRY. I’m watching ME BEFORE YOU. Ya’ll know I LOVED that book…

Amanda: I bawled like a baby

Acacia: So many tissues

Jennifer: I watched it yesterday!

Joeandcarrie: I ugly cried!!

Robin: OK who has Manny? Here’s a bellini. I’ll go look for him.

Michelle: I boohoo’d so hard! Great book, great movie!

Jenn: I ugly cried in the theater. It was bad.

Karai: As you well know I am a heavy metal horror fan. Not sentimental at all but this movie punched me straight in the feels!!

Maryse: The most beautiful happy delightful scene, and I’m already ugly crying…

Karai: Hang in there little buddy. Hugs!

Kristin: The movie is just as good, which is rare!

Maryse: Agreed!! They stayed true to the book, even the character-actors were EXACTLY right.

Autumn: My favorite ugly cry!!!! I read the book, but still haven’t watched the movie. but omgosh. This story is everything!!

Jane: I ugly cried for about a fourth of that movie! Haven’t cried that hard in a theater since Titanic- lol

Maryse: Oh sheesh, don’t even get me started over the Titanic. I locked myself in the bathroom, in the dark, and sobbed into a pillow, all alone, for half an hour over that one.

AND OMG am I paying for it today. After God Shaped Hole, and now this one (even though I had already read the book years ago) and now, I need something hilarious again. Any recommendations? There are a few very good-looking choices below, plus I have a few HIGH on my TBR list to sort through. 😉 *sigh*
