Letters to Nowhere
by Julie Cross
Genre: Contemporary, Young Adult
Release Date: August 1, 2013
Publisher: Long Walk Press
Synopsis:
From the International Bestselling Author of the Tempest Series...

Set in the tough world of Elite Gymnastics...

I've gotten used to the dead parents face. I've gotten used to living with my gymnastics coach. I've even adjusted to sharing a bathroom with his way-too-hot son. Dealing with boys is not something that's made it onto my list of experiences as of yet. But here I am, doing it. And something about Jordan--being around him, talking to him, thinking about him--makes me feel like I can finally breathe again. That's something I haven't been able to do lately. He knows what it feels like to be me right now. He knows what it's like to wonder--what now? I think about it constantly. I need answers. I need to know how to get through this. In the gym, if you're struggling, you train harder, you do drills and conditioning. How do I work hard at moving on? At being on my own? And what happens if I might be...maybe...probably falling for Jordan? I mean we live together now. That can't happen, can it? But kissing him...well, let's just say it's not an easy activity to forget.
 
TEASER
___________________________________________________

Jordan stepped closer, resting a hand on the red brick beside my head. “I’m gonna kiss you.”

My stomach jumped up towards my heart. “What?”

“I’m going to kiss you.” He had this serious, determined look on his face. “I mean, I won’t if you don’t want me to . . .”

I could feel my eyes widen as he leaned closer, my heart hammering faster, every other muscle in my body completely frozen. No words of protest were able to fall from my tongue before his mouth was on mine. My eyes drifted shut, my stomach doing a dozen floor routines beneath my rib cage.

INTERVIEW
___________________________________________________

Do you have a favorite character from Letters to Nowhere? Why is he (or she) your favorite? 

Karen, my main character, is my favorite to write mostly because I’ve wanted to write a book narrated from the point of view of an elite gymnast since my author journey first began. I absolutely love capturing that socially sheltered mindset and pairing it up with a level of maturity and discipline that most adults don’t have. That’s the essence of women’s elite gymnastics. Young girls carrying big loads of responsibility and self-awareness. They have it completely together, there’s always a plan for what’s next. With Karen, I gave her all of those qualities and then I pulled the rug out from under her by taking away her parents in a car accident before the book opens. Then: *Enter cute boy* whom she is forced to share a bathroom with. Who has a tragic past of his own. Who may be the only one that can help her heal. 

Were you nervous when you decided to venture outside of your Sci-Fi series and write a contemporary novel? Did you have any reservations at first? 

I wasn’t nervous to write the book, but I was super super nervous to tell people about it. Especially online to Tempest series fans. I honestly figured I’d finish the book so the characters would stop tormenting me inside my head, which I know it sounds a little schizophrenic, but it’s the truth and probably never publish it. And just hearing you say that it paid off means that it totally has. I’ve pleased at least one reader. Mission accomplished. Thanks so much for that J 

Gymnastics is a huge part of this novel and your website says that you were a former gymnastics coach. How excited were you to combine your passions for writing and gymnastics into one project? 

It was like Disney World, Universal Studios and a house right on the beach all packaged into one trip that didn’t even require packing or travel time. I enjoyed every phase of creating this story so much, I felt guilty calling it my job. 

There are some pretty heartbreaking scenes in the book. Do you get extremely attached to your characters? If so, how do you feel when you have to write a scene that is going to be particularly hard on them? 

Normally, I struggle with getting all the tension I need in a first draft because it becomes so difficult to put characters I love through all this emotional trauma. Often I have to step away from the story for a while and then I raise the stakes in the next draft. But with Letters to Nowhere, I had no problem shoving the characters into flaming fire after fire because I knew that in order for Karen (and also Jordan and Coach Bentley) to properly grieve and begin to heal, there was only one way to get past the fire—run straight through it. And the whole time I was writing this book, I knew Karen was a bomb waiting to go off. I knew she’d need to have that moment of realization about her future and what losing her parents really meant. And I wanted to get her there so I could see that she was okay. 

What was the hardest part of writing Letters to Nowhere? 

Nothing was really hard to write, but I worked the hardest at making the gymnastics element “user friendly” in the sense that I wanted this to be a book for the widest audience possible while still showing a true portrayal of the sport. 

What was your favorite part? 
The evolution of “Jaren” hands down. The relationship between Karen and Jordan is built in a way that I hadn’t done before in novel. Not exactly. I rarely do the insta-love thing but what they have is so much deeper than romantic love. Not to spoil anything in the book or future books in this world, but I truly believe that Jordan and Karen will always have a tie that can’t be severed no matter where their paths lead them. They could never hate each other. Many people look back on their first love and the relationship and drama often seem silly. It won’t be like that for these two. Their relationship will always represent a hugely important part of their lives.

(Fix You Blog Tour) Review + Giveaway

Thanks for stopping by my little stop in the Fix You Blog Tour hosted by Julie of
AToMR Tours. Be sure to go over the post because a giveaway awaits you below.

Fix You
by Beck Anderson
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Chick Lit, Adult
Release Date: September 10, 2013
Publisher: Omnific Publishing
Synopsis:
When Kelly Reynolds’s husband died, he left her—the awkward, cautious one—to raise their two young boys. She’s pieced herself back together, barely. Now she takes refuge in her routine: running her kids around and running the trails near her Idaho home.

Two years after her husband’s death, a chance encounter on a run brings Andrew into her life. But Andrew is Andy Pettigrew, the Andy Pettigrew, famous actor. Kelly hates risk, and a love affair with Andrew is certainly tempting fate. She doesn’t fit into his Hollywood world. She doesn’t own a pair of Louboutins, and she couldn’t walk five paces in them if she did. Andrew oozes cool. She reeks of dork.

But despite this, they click. It may be inexplicable, but it works. However, it’s also becoming clear that Andrew struggles with the pressures of his fame. Kelly’s hold on a so-called normal life is already tenuous, and as much as she might want to indulge the fantasy, she doesn’t know how either of them is supposed to cope with stalkerazzi and tweet-happy fans with camera phones. She and Andrew both have secrets that seem impossible to keep.

Beck Anderson’s witty, engaging writing yields an emotional tale of love, loss, and all the little things that make up a life. In the end, what is it that really holds us together? Kelly must decide if love can fix two people who might be broken beyond repair.

Review:

“Yes, there are stages of grief. Yes, there are plenty of abysses that seem to suck any attempt at normalcy into them. But routine often saves me.”


Fix you is a beautifully written story that perfectly captures the hardhips of love, loss, defeat, and fresh starts. This being my first (that I know of) chicklit novel, I had remembered to keep my expectations low because it's my first novel in the genre and I dont want to be disappointed and drop the genre all together. But keeping my expectations lo didn't benefit me, it benefitted the book—it made it all the more amazing. With this good start with chicklit, I am planning to read more, all thanks to you, Beck!

Kelly, from self-loathing cocoon, transformed into a butterfly! I love reading her because of their barters! Reading her exchanges with Andy was just so sweet! I loved how beck rode against the tide and decided to write the a real woman because most of the girls around here can't cook, can't clean, and I just love that about Kelly! 

I absolutely loved the plot. The build up was exuberant, not at all tiring. I didn't get tired of Kelly constant bickering that she is beyond fixing and all that because I totally understand where she comes from, having just lost a husband, it is really hard to balance a life connected to Andrew—a life of flashing cameras, magazine covers, and constant gossip. So they agree on a friendship, but thier undeniable attraction toward each other brings them closer and closer together to a point that they can neither hide their feelings for each other. To be together is a huge risk for Kelly, one that cannot be undone. How will she survive if her heart gets broken the second time around? Can Andrew, the man that is all that she wants in their moments together, act like that in public under consistent scrutiny?
 The fact that the plot was very engaging kept me up all night! It had me crying, shouting, and "Aaaw"-ing the whole time!

by Ingrid Seymour
Genre: New Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Release Date: December 4, 2013
Publisher: PenDreams
Source: eARC (Thanks, Dianne and Ingrid! <3)
Links: Goodreads | Amazon 

Synopsis:

Jessica Norton is a villain in the body of a gorgeous, rich, college girl. She cheats, lies, plays with people’s feelings, and purposely breaks unsuspecting hearts to avenge a personal loss. She’s the kind of girl people love to hate—even if it’s just because she has it all. Except . . . she doesn’t have it all. What she wants most is the love of her high school sweetheart, Taylor Drennon, the guy who got away, the one who left without telling her why and caused all her bitterness.


Not surprisingly, Jessica’s evil has made her a pariah. Alone, without friends or Taylor’s love, her college life is a nightmare. She’s haunted by her own mistakes and drowning in lack of direction. Something needs to change. So when the first opportunity to turn her life around presents itself, she takes it. Home for Christmas break, Jessica runs into Taylor. His unexpected friendliness seems like an invitation to rekindle their love. Inspired by a drastic idea that will both distance her from her heinous reputation and pull her closer to Taylor, she decides to transfer to OSU where he attends under a football scholarship.



Confident she can regain his heart, Jessica reenters Taylor’s life with a splash. Failing to naturally lure him closer, she is then forced to rely on her old games and underhanded scheming. Though Jessica’s heart is in the right place, it is hidden from Taylor by her blunders. More than once their powerful chemistry takes control, leading Jessica to believe she’s winning. But, it’s a hot and cold affair, and she’s not the only one to blame for their stormy love. If Jessica can only coax Taylor into explaining why he doesn’t want her, maybe she could finally walk away from him for good, maybe she could finally be happy.

Review: 
I, right from the very start, am a huge fan of the New Adult genre. With the influx of New Adult novels in the past two years, I decided on giving my newfound genre a try, and amazingly, I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one I've read. And Girls Are Players isn't an exception. 

Although this book continues where the first one left off, it can still be read as a standalone. Girls Are Players is the second book in the G.A.P. series and this is Jessica Norton's story, whom we've met during the course of Guys Are Props Club. 

For the plot, reading Girls Are Players was a pleasure because it's just my kind of pacing. It isn't too slow to be categorized under the did-not-finish list and not too fast to be an exhilarating-to-the-core-therefore-i-am-exhausted-and-i-wont-finish-this list. It took me on a roller coater of emotions and I enjoyed every bit! I really didn't expect myself to get attached to a certain character and cries when she does, and gets hurt when she does, but I did. I couldn't resist because INGRID SEYMOUR IS A GENIUS! 

Now onto Jessica, Oh, the big bad Jessica from Guys Are Props Club. You might think that after reading the first book that I might, I don't know, want to cut her throat and leave her bleeding to death? WRONG. Because there has been a slew of books that tend to make me sympathize, or maybe even empathize with the main character and this book is among those! I really think that Ingrid did a great job in making me feel her emotions because when I was crying, laughing, dancing, and hating with her, it felt so real that I would be surprised to find myself sitting in my room, holding the iPad and reading. (Boohoo, I hate you, reality!) Right from the start, I really liked Jessica because I understood where all her bitterness comes from when she admits that she's still grieving over the lost of her relationship with her high school sweetheart, Taylor.

As for Taylor.. Hmm, Taylor, oh, Taylor! The hot and cryptic Taylor.. BTW, I loved, and by loved I mean loved, his tatts! The main reason why I went on a roller coaster because of his cryptic words! I was lifted off my feet! I loved the cloud of enigma surrounding him because that's what makes his (poorly planned) declarations of love cute! He and Jessica are like a Filipino speaking with a Chinese, they can't really tell each other things, but the way she understands him is the reason why I loved them both.

I am really recommending this book because of three reasons:

1. A really hot guy.
2. A really, really hot guy with tattoos.
3. A really, really hot guy with tattoos and cryptic words.

I'm betting that you're sold because of the three statements above? Fear not because other people will be too! LOL. I admit that when I first saw the cover, I was as sold well! Haha.

Go grab Girls Are Players because it is a must-read!

EXCERPT
___________________________________________________

Taylor sat down on the bench and began to play a tune I’d never heard. It was mournful and soft and made my knees weak. I sat and listened, felt my eyes fill with tears as the melody reached inside me.

It seemed Taylor had done the opposite of me. He’d changed on the outside, but not one bit on the inside. He was still the same enigmatic, brooding person he’d always been. He still spoke in riddles if he spoke at all. He still could undo me with one look, one heartfelt song, one simple question.

God, I still loved him so much.

When he finished playing, he lowered his head, his breath hitching as he inhaled.

“W-was that one of yours?” I asked. He’d composed several pieces, and this one had that familiarity that made me almost sure he’d composed it.

He nodded. “It’s called . . . Taking Time.”

(Consoling Angel Blog Tour) Review + Giveaway




Consoling Angel
by Denise Alicea
Genre: Young Adult, Time Travel, Paranormal, Romance
Publisher: Book Baby (self published)
Source: eARC 
Links: Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | Apple | Kobo
Synopsis:
Mira did not know what she had in store the day she fell asleep while wanting to escape her current situation. Overcoming a death from someone so close and burying herself in school and an internship has kept her somewhat awake and alive. An admiration for the actor, James Dean was all that kept the memory of her father alive. If she couldn’t be with her father, she could at least remember what they shared an admiration for together. She always wanted to meet James Dean… she didn’t know it would come true. Be careful what you wish for. It may just come true.
___________________________________________________
Review:
Mira still quite hasn’t moved on from her losing her father to cancer. She spends her days trying to keep herself busy from remembering her dad. She and her dad were very close and you could say that her love for James Dean originated from him. During her free time, she remembers those times she spent with his father talking about James Dean and watching his films and thinks of meeting him to know whether the things she know about him are real or not. Falling asleep, she is transported back in 1950s where she meets James Dean.

Despite its length, I think Consoling Angel is a good read. It’s something I would surely remember. It is short, but compelling. The short scene of Mira and James Dean is well written that it didn’t feel rush at all despite it being only a few pages. To be honest, this book actually made me teary because of its bittersweet ending. The only thing I didn’t like about this book is its length. I want to know more about what will happen after the ending. Hopefully, this book becomes a full-length novel in the future because the story really has potential.

Would I recommend this book? If you’re looking for a short story that tells a good story, then this book is for you.

___________________________________________________
Excerpt:

Moving lightning fast, Dez shifted and I was suddenly underneath him. His arms were on either side of my head, caging me in. Our bodies didn’t touch, but I felt him to the tips of my toes anyway.

The teasing grin disappeared when I dragged in a deep breath and my chest brushed his. Everything changed in an instant. The playful mood faded, replaced by primal heaviness. Our gazes collided and locked. Neither of us moved. His closeness sent a series of shivers skittering across my skin and made it hard to take slow, even breaths. My body tensed when his gaze dropped to my mouth.

He tilted his head to the side. “I… I honestly have no idea what we were talking about.”

“Good. Neither do I.”

He shifted his weight onto one arm, bring him closer. “Have you enjoyed your trip so far?”

“Yes.” I felt as if I couldn’t get enough air into my lungs.

“Good.” He lowered his head. His breath was minty as it moved across my cheek and then my lips. “I’m glad.”

I wasn’t really following the conversation and I wasn’t sure that he was fully aware of what was coming out of his mouth. I searched my hazy brain for something to say and wet my lips. I-

The sound that came out of Dez’s chest rumbled through me. A stuttered heartbeat passed and then his lips were on mine. There was nothing slow about this kiss. It scorched my skin and caused my body to stretch tight like a bowstring. The kiss deepened, spinning my senses. I shuddered when his hand curved over my shoulder and drifted down to my waist, his long fingers spreading out under the hem of my shirt, grazing the bare skin of my stomach.

I gasped, floored by the raw sensations pounding through my blood. My skin felt as if I was about to phase. Maybe I was.

“Jasmine,” he whispered, the word falling against my lips, and then his body was pressing mine into the mattress, heavy, sweet and hard.
