Cover Reveal: Rush Too Far by Abbi Glines

Summary:
 
Everyone in Rosemary Beach thinks they know how Rush Finlay and Blaire Wynn fell in love. But Rush is back to tell his side of the story...

Rush has earned every bit of his bad-boy reputation. The three-story beach house, luxury car, and line of girls begging for time between his sheets are the envy of every guy in Rosemary Beach, and Rush handles it all with the laid-back cool of a rock star’s son. All he needs are his best friend, Grant, and his sister, Nan.

Until Blaire Wynn drives into town in her beat-up pickup truck with a pistol under her seat. The Alabama farm girl instantly captures Rush’s attention once he discovers that the angelic beauty is his new stepsister, but he vows to keep his distance. Even if she needs his help. Even if he craves her.

Because Rush knows why Blaire is all alone in the world, forced to ask for help from the father who abandoned her three years ago. And he knows if he gets too close it will destroy Nan, who has a secret connection to Blaire.
He has every reason in the world to stay away from her. Find out why he doesn’t.

Toxic by Rachel Van Dyken

Synopsis:  

Everyone has a secret...
     Gabe Hyde is on borrowed time. He's been hiding his identity for over four years-hidden from the world that used to adore him--obsess over him--driven to the edge of insanity by one poor choice.
     But that one choice, altered the course of his life forever.

     Pretending isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when pretending means hiding your real self from the people that care about you the most. But if anyone ever discovered the truth it wouldn't just be his life at risk--but hers. 



     Saylor doesn't hate men.
     Just Gabe.
     Only Gabe.
     He's a reckless, happy-go-lucky, silver spoon fed pain in her ass. Everything about him makes her more and more confused. Unfortunately they both donate time at the same Group Home. If she wasn't afraid of flunking, she'd be long gone. She hates that she's attracted to him almost as much as he hates that he's attracted to her--and she can tell, especially since their first encounter ended up making her knees so weak she couldn't form coherent sentences for weeks afterwards. But the closer she gets to him, the more confused she becomes. He isn't who he says he is, and he's hiding something big.


     What happen when two worlds collide? Two worlds that never should have met in the first place? Some secrets are too big to be hidden forever--the only question? Will his destroy everyone he loves? Or finally bring about the redemption he's been craving for the past four years?


     Everyone has a secret...What's yours?

My Review: 


5 Phenomenal Beautiful Stars

          I’ve been waiting for too long to finally read Gabe’s book because he captured my heart from the moment I met Him in Ruin and *BOOM* this book is  Perfect. Rachel just did it again, her books made me love reading even more and showed me again how talented she is.

       Toxic just blew me away and break my heart in a good way. I laugh, giggle, cried and cried and cried more. I can feel every emotion and captivates me heart really deep. This is one of the saddest, emotionally charged poignant story I ever read that made my heart and soul ache for Gabe. His story is painfully deep and captivating. It is one of the book that I consider UNPUTDOWNABLE, because Im  hooked from the very first word and just keep on turning the page. This is simply addicting. 

          I just love how MUSIC plays a huge part in this book. How music helps Gabe in expressing his feelings and emotions.  It was perfect when it’s blended with the heaviness of every scene.  Each song made me feel how powerful those emotions that the character feels and I fell in love with it even more. 

          And one thing that made me LOVE Toxic even more is because of those quotes on each chapter. It’s inspiring, beautiful and funny sometimes and we got to get some advice from Wes too. **and I so love WES so much**(just saying)<3.

          Toxic is a deeply emotional, beautiful and breathtaking story of friendship, hope, loss and the true meaning of unconditional love. 

           Highly Recommended

Cover Reveal: Taming the Storm by Samantha Towle


Blurb:

        Lyla Summers hates men. Okay, maybe hate is a strong word … Lyla intensely dislikes men. 
        Her father has let her down her whole life. Her brother betrayed her in the worst way possible. And her past relationship experiences with men have been less than great. 
        Lyla is focussing all her energy into her band, Vintage, so when they receive an offer to sign with TMS Records, it seems that things are finally turning around for her. The last thing she wants is a man getting in the way.

        Tom Carter loves women. Okay, love might be pushing it … Tom enjoys screwing lots of women.   
        When tragedy befalls his best friend, Tom finds himself making a promise to the big man upstairs – he’ll change his ways, if he saves the woman his best friend loves. 
        Tom’s prayer is answered. Now he has to change. Which means no sleeping around.

        After Vintage’s manager breaks her leg skiing, Tom steps in as tour manager, and Lyla finds herself on tour with the man whore of rock.  
        Put one perpetually horny Tom and one sex resistant Lyla together, equals a recipe for disaster. Or so you’d think… 
        But an unexpected friendship is formed. A closeness neither of them expected. Putting one chastity belt and one lamp that is in desperate need of rubbing, to the test.  
        Will the sex storm that is Tom Carter, finally find himself tamed by the rock chick with a hardened heart, or will he go back to his womanizing ways…?




Excerpt:
 **Message from Samantha: Here it is ... the first ever TAMING THE STORM TEASER!!** 
          Now, this is Tom, so expect excessive bad language, vulgarity... you know the drill!

         If you're not 18+, then look away now! It's from Lyla's POV, and they're talking about Lyla's ex-boyfriend.
           I put this specific piece out, as I want to give you a little insight to Lyla. But anyway... I hope you enjoy it! Oh, and it's unedited, subject to change, etc. 


“My ex-boyfriend, Chad … he’s bisexual. Something he failed to tell me when we got together.” Tom snorts. “You went out with someone called Chad? Who likes cock and pussy. Don’t tell me, he played football...?” I glance up at him through my lashes. The look on his face makes me grin. “Of course he played football.” He lets out a laugh. “So you dumped football playing Chad because he used to bang dudes – bit harsh, Lyla. Even for you.” “No. I dumped him because he continued to bang dudes while we were together … well, just one specific dude.” I pull in a breath. “My brother. They were screwing the whole time we were together.” “Your brother? Shit. That’s gotta hurt. I take back the harsh,” Tom says. Nodding, I take a large drink of my vodka, relishing the burn in my throat as I swallow. He leans across the table, nudging my arm with his own. “Well, he must be a fuckin’ idiot to have cheated on a hot piece of ass like you.” “Coming from you, I’ll take that as a complement.” I laugh. “It was meant as one. And seriously, I don’t get the – dude fucking another dude – thing. Give me a tight, warm pussy any day.” “Too much information, Tom ... and seriously you might have to turn to men when you run out of women.” “That’ll never happen.” He grins, leaning back in his chair. “You go through women at the speed of light. It is highly possible that you might have screwed the entire population of the US by the end of this year – excluding me of course – because that’s never gonna happen.” “Of course.” He smirks, bringing his whiskey glass to his lips, taking a drink. I ignore his pointed look. “Honestly, Tom, you do realise that you will run out of women at some point don’t you? What you gonna do then, start recycling?” He clanks his glass down on the table. “Nope. I’m not an environmentally friendly kind of guy. I guess I’ll just have to move to the Canada.” He smirks. “And just so you know, I might go through a lot of women, but I fuck nice and slow … real … slow.” An image of Tom and me, having sex flashes through my mind. My heart speeds up. I can feel my body heating at the thought of Tom and sex and me … him and me … fucking. I know my chest is flushed. I don’t have to look down to see. I know it is, because Tom’s eyes are on it, staring, right now. Stupid traitorous underused, currently oversexed body. Tom’s eyes lift, meeting mine, with knowing. Looking away, I force my spine straight, holding the glass to my chest, trying to cool myself down. “And I need to know your screwing speed, why?” He leans in close … real close this time, leaving our mouths millimetres apart. I gulp down. His hot, whiskey scented breath, blows through my parted lips and fires down signals to my, long unused girl parts, sending them into a frenzy. Shit. Squeezing my thighs together, I bite down on my lower lip to regain control. I will not lose my shit over a man whore. Especially not Tom the man whore. Definitely not Tom. His eyes flicker down to my mouth. “You’re not ready to hear the answer to that question, Lyla.” “And when I am?” ‘When I am?’ – What the hell am I saying! I’ll never be ready for Tom ‘fuck anything’ Carter. Ever. He smiles. It’s lusty, but surprisingly genuine. “Well, when you are ready, let me know and I’ll tell you. Until then … use your imagination.” He stands, running a hand through his hair. “And, Lyla, let it run wild.” With a wink, he’s gone, sauntering through the bar, leaving me and under used girl parts on fire.

My Most Anticipated Book: Take A Chance (Chance #1) by Abbi Glines


Synopsis:  

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines comes the story of Grant, the sexy playboy who first captured readers' hearts in Fallen Too Far.

When Harlow Manning's rocker father goes on tour, he sends her to Rosemary Beach, Florida, to live with her half-sister, Nan. The problem: Nan despises her. Harlow has to keep her head down if she wants to get through the next nine months, which seems easy enough. Until gorgeous Grant Carter walks out of Nan's room in nothing but his boxer briefs.

Grant made a huge mistake getting involved with a girl with venom in her veins. He'd known about Nan's reputation, but still he couldn't resist her. Nothing makes him regret the fling more than meeting Harlow, who sends his pulse racing. Yet Harlow wants nothing to do with a guy who could fall for her wicked half-sister, even if there are no strings between Grant and Nan. Grant is desperate to redeem himself in Harlow's eyes, but did he ruin his chances before he even met her?
