Synopsis

DEVIL'S NIGHT is returning! Hiding places, chases, and all the games are back

BANKS
Buried in the shadows of the city, there’s a hotel called The Pope. Ailing, empty, and dark—it sits abandoned and surrounded by a forgotten mystery.

But you think it’s true, don’t you, Kai Mori? The story about the hidden twelfth floor. The mystery of the dark guest who never checked in and never checks out. You think I can help you find that secret hideaway and get to him, don’t you?

You and your friends can try to scare me. You can try to push me. Because even though I struggle to hide everything I feel when you look at me—and have ever since I was a girl—I think that maybe what you seek is so much closer than you’ll ever realize.

I will never betray him.

So sit tight.

On Devil’s Night, the hunt will be coming to you.

KAI
You have no idea what I seek, Little One. You don’t know what I had to become to survive three years in prison for a crime I would gladly commit again.

No one can know what I’ve turned into.

I want that hotel, I want to find him, and I want this over.

I want my life back.

But the more I’m around you, the more I realize this new me is exactly who I was meant to be.

So come on, kid. Don’t chicken out. My house is on the hill. So many ways in, and good luck finding your way out.

I’ve seen your hideaway. Time to see mine.

*Hideaway is a romantic suspense suitable for ages 18+. While the romance is a stand-alone, the plot is a continuation of events that began in CORRUPT (Devil's Night, #1). It is strongly recommended that you have read Corrupt prior to reading this. It is currently on sale for $0.99.

DEVIL'S NIGHT is returning! Hiding places, chases, and all the games are back... 

BANKS

Buried in the shadows of the city, there’s a hotel called The Pope. Ailing, empty, and dark—it sits abandoned and surrounded by a forgotten mystery.

But you think it’s true, don’t you, Kai Mori? The story about the hidden twelfth floor. The mystery of the dark guest who never checked in and never checks out. You think I can help you find that secret hideaway and get to him, don’t you?

You and your friends can try to scare me. You can try to push me. Because even though I struggle to hide everything I feel when you look at me—and have ever since I was a girl—I think maybe what you seek is so much closer than you’ll ever realize.

I will never betray him.

So sit tight.

On Devil’s Night, the hunt will be coming to you.

KAI

You have no idea what I seek, Little One. You don’t know what I had to become to survive three years in prison for a crime I would gladly commit again.

No one can know what I’ve turned into.

I want that hotel, I want to find him, and I want this over.

I want my life back.

But the more I’m around you, the more I realize this new me is exactly who I was meant to be.

I’ve seen your hideaway. Time to see mine.


IS THIS REAL!?!?! DO WE REALLY FINALLY HAVE HIDEAWAY!?!?! That was pretty much my reaction when an e-arc of Hideaway popped up on my kindle. This is definitely my most anticipated release of this year and Kai was hands down my favorite character of Corrupt, so I could't wait to finally read his story!

Kai and Banks are very different from the people that they were six years ago when they first met. Now, with Damon in hiding and another Devil's Night approaching, Kai and Banks enjoy playing a little, dangerous game with one another, a game that neither one of them are backing down from anytime soon. 

Like I said, I freaking loved Kai in Corrupt. While I enjoyed Rika and Michael, I wasn't head over heels for Michael. Kai, on the other hand, had my heart and stole it even more in this book. Like the other horsemen, Kai is pretty broken and has so many dark secrets and demons that he's fighting. Banks was such a refreshing, strong yet soft character to balance out Kai's dark side. I loved how much they challenged each other and pushed each other over the edge. This is definitely a dark book, but there were some pretty steamy parts to lighten up the story. 

Speaking of dark, there was so much suspense in this book, just as much as book one, and I was FREAKING out at parts. I literally sat up straight and had my nose practically stuck to the page. I did think the end happened a little too fast, but I still felt my heart pumping for the last 15% of the book. There were so many twists and turns in this book and, while I saw some of them coming, this book still kept me guessing along the way. And I loved how we still got a lot of depth with all four of the horsemen and not just Kai. I started to really like Will's character, enjoyed seeing more of Michael, and am intrigued by what we got from Damon's character. All I can say is, where is book three!?!? 

If you love a dark, gritty, steamy romance, you have to pick up the Devil's Night series. The moment you lay eyes on the first page, you will be hooked on these gorgeous, dangerous, broken men and the women who test them and put them in their places.

Blog Tour + Review/Giveaway: Without Merit by Colleen Hoover


Without Merit
by Colleen Hoover
Release Date: October 3, 2017
Source: Publisher 
In Colleen Hoover’s gripping novel, reminiscent of the bestselling works of Liane Moriarty and Jojo Moyes, a young woman decides to reveal the dark secrets of her seemingly-happy family before she leaves them behind, but when her escape plan fails, she must deal with the staggering consequences of telling the truth. 


I honestly never have any idea where to start when it comes to reviewing a new Colleen Hoover book. When I heard that her newest release was going back to her YA roots, I was skeptical. I have really outgrown YA and wasn't sure if I would enjoy it or not. All I can say is shame on me for ever doubting Colleen Hoover. 

Whenever I go into a new CoHo book, I love going in blind, so I'm not going to tell you a whole lot about the synopsis. All I can say it's about a girl and her family. Really, that's all you need to know to truly appreciate this book. Once again, Colleen has delivered a book that has really made me take a hard look at life and how I view the world. Just as like with It Ends With Us, I left this book with a whole new point of view on people and what others go through that I may not understand. This book deals with some pretty serious topics, but in the endearing and quirky CoHo way. 

I've got to say, when I started this book and first met our main character, I was not feeling the story. But, when I got more into the story and got to learn more about the main character, who she was, and who her family was, I fell head over heels for this book. The beginning made so much more sense and the family dynamics in this book were interesting to say the least. While there was a romance, it was not the center of the story, which I actually appreciated. There was so much more going on in Merit's life that the romance was only just a part of it. 

Without Merit is one of the most unique, endearing books I have ever read. I have never encountered a character like Merit or a family like hers in a book and I don't think I ever will again. While Colleen addresses some serious topics in her books, she does it in away that is so spot-on and aware that it will change how you view the world. Even if you're not a YA reader, this is so much more than just a book about a teenager and EVERYONE has to pick it up.

About MINE FOR THE WEEK (Wild Love Series #2)

As the top collegiate shortstop in the country, Ryan O’Donnell’s life is about discipline and training. But a growing restlessness causes him to bail on his baseball team over spring break to join his buddies at an exclusive singles resort. He just needs a few days to escape his life, and then he’ll get right back on track. But not twenty minutes after he arrives he meets HER, and the world as he knows it changes irrevocably. It should only be a hookup—that’s what spring break’s all about—but one taste of this sexy, vibrant woman isn’t enough. He has to have her. Even if it’s only for a week.

Sophie Valentine—yes, that Valentine—just found out her siblings want to sell off Crazy Hearts—the Peeps of the Valentine’s Day world. Being the youngest by eight years, she’s used to feeling left out, but selling off her family’s legacy without talking to her first? Not gonna happen. Upset, she takes off with her friends on their spring break vacation. She only wanted an escape—she never imagined meeting HIM. He’s smoking hot and intensely protective of her—and she loves it. But he’s about to start a major league baseball career, and she’s launching a battle to keep the family company. They have no future. It’s just…she’s never felt this way for anyone before.

Are they really going to walk away from this kind of connection…this passion? Or can a week turn into a lifetime?

I wasn't supposed to fall in love with the nanny.

When my wife left, she took the illusion of happiness with her, and I've been caught in a free fall ever since. For nine long months, I've been fighting to figure out how to be a single dad, how to be alone.

For nine long months, I've been failing.

When Hannah walked through the door, I took my first breath since I'd found myself on my own. She slipped into our lives effortlessly, showing me what I've been missing all these years. Because Hannah made me smile when I thought I'd packed the notion of happiness away with my wedding album.

She was only supposed to be the nanny, but she's so much more.

The day my wife left should have been the worst day of my life, but it wasn't. It was when Hannah walked away, taking my heart with her.

Blog Tour + Review: Break Line by Sarah E Green


Title: Break Line
Author: Sarah E. Green
Genre: New Adult/Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 28, 2017




CristiinaReads - “Overall, this was a love story that did not only captivate my heart, but also my soul…”
The Cozy Reader - “Sarah Green has created a fantastic debut novel about overcoming challenges and fears, self discovery, and falling in love when you least expect it.”
Booklover for Life - “It's funny, sweet, romantic, and oh so sexy.”


Emery Lawson was on the path to follow her dad’s footsteps. Going pro in surfing had always been the plan. The dream.
Until it wasn’t.

Now, at nineteen, everyone thinks Emery is done surfing and, aside from two of her best friends, no one knows the truth. Emery hasn’t stopped surfing. What was once her dream is now her little secret.

But if she wants to go pro, that secret is going to have to come out. Twenty-two-year-old Sebastian “Bash” Cleaton has worked hard to get to where he is. For eight years he’s never had a day off, never taken a vacation. He is the best in his sport for a reason. But the passion that once drove him to chase the waves is missing. And Bash—Bash is tired.
When he escapes for a recharge in a small beach town, he never expects to crash into a girl who introduces him to a new life. 

Secrets, hardships, and relationships come out of this debut tale of starting over and never letting go of your dreams.



I am so incredibly proud of Sarah for writing this book and so happy that this book is finally going out into the world and into people's hands. I have read this book soooo many times in its different stages of publication, so it definitely holds a special place in my heart. I will say, I am probably biased in this review because Sarah is one of my best friends and I helped edit this book, but I honestly think you all need to read it! 

Surfing was Emery Lawson's world, especially as the daughter of surfing legend Ren Lawson. Until it wasn't. Now, Emery has to surf in secret so that the ones she loves don't force her to stop. Emery doesn't know who she would be without surfing, so she does all she can to keep it. When she runs into Bash Cleaton, pro surfer and pretty boy, Emery has no idea that Bash is fighting to hold on to the very passion she almost lost. 

What I probably loved most about this book was the characters. Emery is just so sarcastic and tells it how it is and I love her. There were so many laugh-out-loud moments when her and Bash would banter and verbally spar. Emery is the kind of person who deflects when awkward or serious conversations come out and it was so fun how the more Bash got to know her, the more he would call her out on it. Bash is someone who can challenge Emery and push her to face the difficulties in life that she'd prefer to ignore. 

I am so happy that this is a surfer story because, of the sports romances out there, we really don't get a lot of surfer stories. And this one has a female athlete as well, which is so refreshing. Because of Emery's past, it's really hard for Emery to follow her dreams, even though she really does have great, supportive parents. Bash, on the other hand, has very different parents from Emery's and he has to deal with a lot of personal things in this story as well. Instead of leaning on each other, though, Bash and Emery let each other stand strong on their own, which I loved about their relationship. 

While I loved Bash and Emery's relationship and chemistry, this book definitely sets you up to be obsessed with the next couple in this series, as well as all of the other characters in Emery's friend circle. I'm dying for her friends to each have a book and cannot wait for the next books in this series! You all have to pick yourself up a copy of Break Line and meet these amazing and endearing characters now!








Sarah E. Green is a born and raised Florida girl who has an unhealthy obsession with the beach, Netflix, and her pit-mix, Echo. She can be found either at her laptop, working on her next novel, or by the water with her latest reads. When she’s not working or reading, she’s with family, friends, or binging Teen Wolf. 
She’s currently finishing up her B.A. in Creative Writing and minor in History from UCF.
