By 2 Comments

UPDATE!!!! THE TRILOGY IS NOW COMPLETE!!!
My friend Angie is LOSING HER MIND over this one. And yep. I get why just by that blurb. She’s trying to escape her underground life, and then she meets a fighter! <— It sounds all sorts of angsty and intense, sounds kind of… dark… and loaded in the stuff we love in our “kind” of romances. Oh how I hope!! 😉 P.S. Book #2 is going live in just a couple of days!!

Angie: SOOOOO excited about this! GAH
Autumn: AHHH!!! I hope you read RISING! I think you’ll love it! xo

FIGHTER SERIES ALERT & there’s BIG love for this one!!

Laura: Not sure if I missed it but is The Hurricane by RJ Prescott on the list? The hero is a boxer and the heroine is a college student struggling to cope with her abusive past.Both characters are living in poverty. It’s a wonderful romantic story and is one of my favourite books from 2015. I highly recommend it.

Marion:  I’m currently reading The Hurricane by R.J Prescott, fans of Beautiful Disaster this is one you need to get to pronto! (I’ll even go out on a limb and say this one has got me more hooked than BD) read more

Oh this book already has my heart by this fellow reader’s description. I just know I’d fall in love HARD. It has TONS of info and this one will be SO easy to guess, for those that have read it, or have heard of it!! There’s a big spoiler but it’s “spoiler-noticed” 😉

Hello there. I sent the message below to one of my friends on GoodReads hoping for some help remembering the title of a book I read last year. I’ve completely forgotten the title and it is making me a little crazy. She wasn’t familiar with the book but she suggested your blog and that I might message you for help. I hope you don’t mind me contacting you. read more

L.A. Fiore – Beautifully Damaged Series Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE! EACH BOOK IN THIS SERIES IS SUPER-BARGAIN PRICED TODAY!!!

I remember back in the early “indie new adult” days how much this book was talked about. Readers were loving it, hooked on the angsty romance fighter angle, but some were struggling with the editing issues. It’s been re-edited since then and picked up by a publisher… and now it’s a series!

Shawna: I read Beautifully Damaged when it first came out and I couldn’t put it down. It was very good and boy does it have a big secret. It’s intense, stay up all night intense, and I highly recommend it! read more

The Ultimate List Of Sports Star Romance

By 45 Comments

How in the heck did I not already have THIS list up?!! Some of my absolute favorite “new adult” books feature the sports star/girl-next-door fantasy. Whether he’s famous worldwide, or the college hero, there’s nothing better than being best friends (and maybe more) with one. Done right, whether they be loaded in cocky bad-boyness, or we have a more subdued, brooding-guy slow burn, these are the books that keep hitting the best sellers lists.

And it’s not for nothing. They can be hilarious (especially with a well-written entourage… like more popular guy friends). They tickle our “romance fantasy” needs (that, of being THE ONE noticed by the star that can have anybody they want), plus you get that family feel with the whole cast of characters. Pining and unrequited love. Angsty misunderstandings and endearing silly hijinks. Unexpected true friendships, groupies and mean girls. Nerds and jocks. Rumors and paparazzi. Throw ’em together in one story, and it promises unputdownable FUN!!! Plus, the sports stars tend to be a little alpha-male, so that’s always a plus. 😉 read more
