TEASER/EXCERPT:
She tilted her head back, and I planted a wet kiss on her mouth. I pulled back quickly, shocked at the spark I felt when our lips had met, and I kept dancing as she laced her fingers through mine on her hips. She grinned up at me, and I found that I really enjoyed just looking down at her gorgeous face.
I leaned down close to her ear, and I caught a whiff of her scent. She smelled like a citrus picnic on a summer day. I wanted to spread out a blanket and make myself comfortable.
“I’m moving out of Arizona in two days,” I said.
Her grin widened when I pulled back, and she reached up and curled her hand around my neck, pulling me down so her lips feathered against my ear.
“Perfect. I’m looking for something without strings anyway.”
Did she really just say that? She wanted it as much as I did.
She had given me permission to ravish her for just one night.
This was the perfect woman.

How do you tell someone you care about all of your secrets, and will they still want you when the truth comes out?






Review:



Unbelievably heart wrenching book.  I had tears running down my face the entire time.  And then at the end to find out that it was somewhat based on the Author's own story, I cried even more.

Tori is an amazingly strong high school senior who was raped about a year ago.  She never told anyone and just kept pushing down her feelings, her fear, her terrors.  But recently her nightmares are getting worse and she just can't hold it in any longer.  She finally breaks down and tells her mom and best friend, who are unbelievably supportive and she finally starts to be able to heal herself.  

Will is the boy she has had a crush on for forever, and who also has been in love with her this whole time. Tori is scared once she tells Will what happened, he won't want to be with her anymore.  The emotions Tori went through telling Will what happened and his emotions when he listened to her story was so raw and real.  

However, Will turns out to be more than just a nice guy who runs when the going gets tough.  He is so caring, supportive and protective of her.  He would do anything to help her get back to her old self and was so patient with supporting her along her path to not being a victim, but being a survivor.  It was wonderful to see how she was able to come out the other side of this horrific event in her life and have him waiting for her, encouraging her and loving her.

Without a doubt, Ms Gunter pulled on my heart strings and made me ache for all the characters involved. An amazing YA novel that I would recommend, especially to those with teenage daughters.  Not only was this a great YA love story, but also a great way to open up a candid discussion with your daughters.  -Tynna

Winning Back Ryan by S L Siwik




Synposis


After a horrible day at work, I came home to find my boyfriend...in a curious position. After determining why he was unhappy, I, Anne Watson, decided to try and fix our broken relationship. My four closest male friends, however, had another idea. Revenge.  
**Content Warning: This book contains a sexual assault scene and mature material. ** 



Review

Annie comes home from work to find a big surprise, her boyfriend in bed with another girl!  Who does Annie turn to for help?  Her 4 best friends, all of whom are guys.  Their perspectives on what she should do and how to go about exacting her revenge are at times hysterical - think 4 guys in a lingerie store!


Annie is overall fairly naive and has had no idea that 2 of her best friends have been in love with her for years.  How has she never seen the signs? Can she give up her revenge/get Ryan back plan and choose to move on instead?  How does she go from a broken heart and to starting over with her best friend?  


Brian is a great guy who has waited a long time for Annie to see him as more than her best friend.  I loved him and couldn't believe there was any thoughts of still trying to win back Ryan after she realized how Brian felt about her. 

I would have liked to see a bit more development of the storyline with Brian and Annie at the end as I felt it was rushed. I was disappointed that Annie blamed herself for Ryan cheating and immediately went about trying to reinvent herself for him. Although Annie started off weak, and made a lot of choices I just couldn't understand, she did slowly gain her confidence and stand up for herself and go after what she wanted.  Her friendship and interactions with the guys are some of the highlights of the book and added a great fun factor! - Tynna

Excerpt 
“Oh, look!” I shouted, pointing ahead.  Ben looked ahead at the large park in front of us. “Do you have any idea where we are?” I whispered. He shook his head. I laughed so hard that I snorted. “Come on; let’s go see what trouble we can get into over there.” 
We walked through the park for a while before I complained about my feet hurting from my high heels. In front of me, I saw a fountain, so I let go of Ben’s arm, running towards the monument. 
I yanked off my heels, tossing them and my pocketbook onto the ground before climbing into the fountain. 
 “What are you doing?” he shouted in exasperation. 
“Cooling off,” I explained as I began running around in a circle. When I made my way around to him, I splashed him with water. “Come on in.” 
He glanced down at his now wet clothes, then up at me.  
“That’s it. You’re going to get it now.” I shrieked as I began running in a circle, wading through the water, making sure that I didn’t slip on the coins littering the bottom of the fountain. I heard splashing behind me, so I knew he was gaining on me. I turned around, kicking water, spraying him from head to toe. He wiped the water off his face, before splashing me with water, his strong arms being able to spray me with more water that I could ever hit him with in one try. 
My hair and polka-dotted dress were soaked, and I wrung my hair out before shrieking and running away from him.  
“Watch out! I’m gonna getcha!” he shouted as we ran around the fountain. On one trip around, I was looking behind me and smashed right into his chest. When I looked up, I realized he had figured out to run in the opposite direction. He flashed me a cocky grin as his hands grabbed my arms to keep me from falling over as I laughed loudly. I placed my hands on his chest to steady myself more as the world began to spin, feeling the wet cotton beneath my fingertips, his chest heaving. I glanced up into his whiskey-colored eyes, who were staring down at me with an emotion I couldn’t place. They slowly made their way down my face, stopping on my lips before his brows pulled together.  He took a step backwards, and then hopped out of the fountain.  
The world was still spinning, though, so I stumbled backwards and held on to the statue in the middle of the fountain, throwing my arms around the marble. I wrapped my right leg around the base, while my head rested against cool tile as the water sprayed down onto my body. I licked a drop of water hanging from my upper lip and when I opened my eyes I found Ben looking at me with that same expression I had never seen on his face before. 
“Why did you get out?” I asked.  
“Someone needs to watch out for the cops while you frolic around like a faerie.”  
With my head still against the cool stone, I said, “What can I say? Every once in a while, a girl needs to frolic.”  
I could feel rather than see his smile. “In that case, keep on frolicking, Princess, just be ready to run when I tell you to.” 
I yawned while enjoying the feeling of the water pouring down on my overheated, alcohol flushed face. “God broke the mold when he made you, Ben.” I rolled my stiff neck to listen to it crack. “He really outdid himself that day.” 
Chuckling, he pulled his cigarettes out of his back pocket. He opened them, and groaned in annoyance before sliding them back into his jeans.  
“Too wet to smoke? What a shame.” Part of me thought that I was being a brat for mocking him. 
He threw me a half-dirty glare, though he smirked. “Just get your dancing out now. I still need to get some food in you.” 
“Yes, food does sound good,” I admitted.  
“Let me guess. You skipped dinner.” I heard the tone of disapproval in his voice. 
“Maybe.” 
He made a tsking noise, and I didn’t bother to defend myself. He was right; I had been stupid.  
“Come on. Let’s get you some food.” I released the marble statue, walking towards him. I stumbled to get out of the fountain, and he caught me before I fell. He shook his head. “You’re such a mess.” 
I glanced down at my shoes and grimaced. My feet were still killing me.  
“Do I have to wear them?” 
He rolled his eyes. “You can hop on my back while I hail a cab.” 

I smiled widely at the idea and he turned around while I picked up my shoes and pocketbook. I wrapped my arms around his neck and jumped up. He grabbed the back of my knees as he starting jogging out of the park.

Take It All by Emma Grayson


Synopsis:

***Inspired by true events***


Judy Garland said it best, ‘For it was not into my ear you whispered but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed but my soul.’



If you asked her why she loved him, she would only be able to tell you it was because he was who he was and well, she was who she was.

Plain and simple.

All her life Lennox Ward felt incomplete. That her heart was always searching for that one special thing; that special someone she had yet to find.

Then Caleb Kingston came strolling back into her life unexpectedly, and little did she know her world was about to come crashing down around her; forever shattering it.

Is love enough to conquer all?

Will she be able to lead them out of hell and off their path of self destruction?

Or will Caleb take it all?

*This book contains mature subject matter and is not intended for those under 17 years of age.* 


Goodreads: http://bit.ly/15j4rac 




Review:

I would say that this is not a typical romance story, however, so emotional and gut wrenching that I couldn't put the book down.  I think the author stating at the beginning that this was based on her story made me much more involved in the characters and much more emotional.  Drug addiction is such a difficult subject to be able to write about, especially from the point of  those who love the addict.

When Lennox is unexpectedly reunited with her first love/childhood crush, she finds out the feelings are the same for Caleb.  Their relationship progresses quickly and Lennox has never been happier.  However, Caleb has a past that begins to interfere in her happiness and begins to ruin their relationship.


Caleb is a drug addict, and even with multiple past rehab stays, he cannot stay clean.  Even his love for Lennox can't keep him away from this life.  It is so hard to see him struggle with wanting to be the man Lennox thinks he is but not be able to control his actions.  Once Lennox finds out, she still loves him unconditionally and tries to help him.  She is surprised by her own actions and what lengths she would go to for him. She wants to believe he has turned the corner, but deep down knows it isn't true.  You feel for Lennox and for Caleb too.

The book starts out with Lennox in hospital and then jumps back to the start of their relationship and the downward spiral Caleb's drug addiction takes on Lennox, his family, and his friends, and ends back with how Lennox ended up there.  Such a gut wrenching story, especially knowing it is based on the authors real life.

I can only hope the next story is about his true recovery and that they are able to find their happily ever after.  -Tynna
