    Three-Wishes-cover

When Lily Jacobs was born, she inherited Fazire – a genie. Her family had three wishes and they’d only ever used one so Fazire was stuck in the human world. This worked since he’d become a member of the family anyway.

Even with a genie, Lily's young life wasn’t perfect. To escape the kids making her miserable at school, Lily buried herself in romance novels. One day, when the teasing was just too much, she used one of her wishes. She told Fazire she wanted to find a man like in her books and she made the most complicated wish Fazire had ever heard. Her wished-for man had to be impossibly handsome, virile, fierce, rugged and ruthless (amongst a dozen other things).

He also had to think she was beautiful and he had to love her more than anything in the world.

Nathaniel McAllister wasn’t born to a life where there were such things as genies granting wishes. His life was filled with drugs, crime and neglect. He was running errands for a gangster before he was in his teens and, even though life and hard work led him to wealth and respectability, he always knew, deep down, he was dirty. When Nate met Lily he knew he was no good for her but as virile, fierce, rugged and ruthless as he was, Nate was no match for the pull of sweet, innocent Lily.

Unfortunately, Lily’s wish included that she and her hero go through trials and tribulations to test their love. And Fazire wasn’t only a good genie, he loved Lily – so he gave her exactly what she wanted.

Nate didn’t know what he wanted but whatever it was, it certainly was not Georgia.

He was saved from answering Victor when he spied a youth wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, the hood worn up even though it was a warm day. The boy was slouching down the pavement, head bowed, hands in the front pocket of the sweatshirt, his head swinging this way and that, looking for his mark.

Nate’s guard, already on alert—always on alert—went into overdrive.

Nate’s eyes narrowed as he watched the youth, and Victor started to get into the Rolls. Then, as expected, the boy darted toward his target and Nate heard a woman’s outraged cry.

“Hey!” she yelled.

He watched the boy snatch the woman’s purse, his body tensing for action.

And then his eyes moved to the woman and uncharacteristically, he froze.

“Hey! He stole my purse! Stop him! He stole my purse!” she shouted.

Nate vaguely registered she was an American tourist. Nate also absently noticed that no one moved to assist.

In that brief moment in time, Nate was too busy drinking in the vision that was her, he himself didn’t move a muscle.

She was tall, incredibly tall.

And curvy, delectably curvy.

She had the most unusual colored hair. Hair that he knew from vast experience living in a house with Laura and Danielle for years came through a supremely talented and expensive stylist’s hands.

And she had an exquisite face, flawless skin and a bearing that was extraordinary. She had been given a wide berth around her even on the crowded pavement. Not because she was screaming her head off but instead because she was majestic, radiant, elegant…

Untouchable.

In a stupor from simply looking at her, the boy with her purse charged right by Nate.

Not in a stupor, she realized no one was going to help her, gave up screaming and charged right after the boy.

At the noise, Victor turned away from the car and Nate shifted to watch in astonishment as she deftly and agilely dodged the crowd, her long legs a match for the short boy. Then Nate watched in stunned surprise as she jumped onto the thief’s back with a graceful leap.

Everyone stared in shock but no one lifted a finger except a few started to take photographs.

“Give me back my purse, you thug!” she shouted.

Wrapping her long legs around her prey, one arm around his neck, she slapped him around the head with the other hand.

The thief staggered back then he staggered with intent and slammed her against the side of the building. Her head snapped back and cracked against the stone so loudly Nate could hear it from where he stood twenty paces away.

At the sound Nate jerked out of his stupor and forged forward.

About the Author

Kristin Ashley - headshot

Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn't taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen's Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning. 

Nothing's changed. 

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she's blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched). 

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.

And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.

Book Review Blitz: Take Me Back by Meghan March

TMB_Twitter_NA

TakeMeBack_FrontCover

We fell in love on a beach, got married in paradise, and I carried her off into the sunset. It should have been perfect, but saying “I do” doesn’t guarantee a happily-ever-after.

Two years later, I barely recognize either of us behind the walls we’ve built.

It’s time to bring it full circle. Back to a tropical paradise. Back to find out if we can still make this work.

I’m not willing to give her up, but to save us, I have to risk everything. 

Two damaged people. 

Countless secrets. 

The fight of our lives.
We might be broken, but we’re not done.

Is this cover for real? Because it is so gorgeous and I knew I had to read it before I even read what it was about. I haven't read anything else by Meghan March, but I knew that I had was going to read this book!

Dane and Kat had undeniable chemistry when they first met and quickly fell in love. They got married and thought they would have the perfect happily ever after. But two years later and they're practically strangers. They're giving themselves one last tropical vacation to find the passion and love they once had and try to salvage their relationship before it's too late. 

I want to start off my review by saying that I'm going to be vague when discussing this book and that's on purpose. I went into this book knowing that it was about a couple who had grown apart and were trying to save their relationship. That's literally all you should know because you need to go into this blind to get the full effect. I had no idea what would happen and that made me so much more invested in the story and where the story was going to take our main characters. 

How this book was set up, I loved how we didn't know what secrets our characters were hiding from each other or what had gone wrong in their relationship. I kept on trying to guess what they could possibly be hiding from each other and I loved watching how they met intertwined with how broken their relationship was now. The only reason that I gave this book a four star rating is because I felt the ending was a bit rushed. I wanted more of a realistic timeline and things fleshed out just a bit more. 

Overall, this book surprised me so much and had so many emotions! I was heavily invested in Dane and Kat's relationship and was definitely surprised with how this book turned out. Like I said, go in completely blind and you will be hooked in no time. If you want a unique read that will toy with your emotions and give you a couple you find yourself rooting for, you have to pick up Take Me Back!

Book Review: Egomaniac by Vi Keeland

Egomaniac
By Vi Keeland
Release Date: January 16, 2017
Source: Amazon
The night I met Drew Jagger, he’d just broken into my new Park Avenue office. 
I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills. 
He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing.   
 
Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant. 
Only, turned out, he wasn’t an intruder at all.   
 
Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office.  He’d been on vacation while his posh space was renovated. 
Which was how a scammer got away with leasing me office space that wasn’t really available for rent.   
I was swindled out of ten grand. 
 
The next day, after hours at the police station, Drew took pity on me and made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.  In exchange for answering his phones while his secretary was out, he’d let me stay until I found a new place. 
I probably should have acted grateful and kept my mouth shut when I overheard the advice he was spewing to his clients.  But I couldn’t help giving him a piece of my mind.  
I never expected my body to react every time we argued.  Especially when that was all we seemed to be able to do. 
 
The two of us were complete opposites. Drew was a bitter, angry, gorgeous-as-all-hell, destroyer of relationships.  And my job was to help people save their marriages.  
The only thing the two of us had in common was the space we were sharing.   
And an attraction that was getting harder to deny by the day. 



The minute I finished this book, I shoved it in my sister's hands and told her she had to read it. Does that tell you how I felt about this book? Yeah, I loved it. 

The first time Emerie met Drew Jaggar, she thought he was a burglar who broke into her office. Little did she know, she was actually conned into "renting" Drew's office. Out thousands of dollars, Emerie has no idea what she's going to do. Drew is intrigued by Emerie from the moment he meets her and feels a pull towards her. Drew offers to share his space, space he has refused to share with anyone else, if she answers his phones and helps out with his schedule. Emerie is grateful and excited to be able to stay, even if it means hanging around the egotistical divorce attorney. No matter how different Drew and Emerie may seem, the more they spend working with each other, the stronger their attraction builds and the harder it is to deny it…

Oh man, from the moment that Drew and Emerie met I was totally hooked on this story. While it isn't a full out rom-com, I laughed out loud so many times in this book and was so addicted to Drew and Emerie's banter. This all stemmed from a friendship the two formed while working and I think that's why I loved their relationship so much. Sure they were attracted to each other, but they only started to really develop feelings for each other after hanging out and just enjoying each other's company. Drew would play jokes on Emerie and Emerie would just be there to help out when Drew needed it. *sigh* It was perfect! 

While there were some more steamy scenes in this book, this was definitely all about the relationship and not necessarily the physical side. And while there was another guy that Emerie was interested in, it was a very realistic and not an over-the-top love interest that was there just to act as a conflict for the plot. Every moment of this book was pure perfection and all I can say is that I definitely want a guy as fun and sweet as Drew in my life!

This was my first Vi Keeland book and is definitely not going to be my last! This is already one of my favorites of 2017 and I see it staying on that list until the end of the year. This was so much more than a romance and I just loved the characters and the fun friendship they formed. I cannot wait to pick up more from Vi Keeland! If you want a fun, refreshing, and just all around perfect romance, you have to pick up Egomaniac!


Waiting on Wednesday (177)

 
This is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where every Wednesday bloggers highlight a book that they are eagerly anticipating the release of!

Words in Deep Blue
By Cath Crowley
Release Date: June 6, 2017
Years ago, Rachel had a crush on Henry Jones. The day before she moved away, she tucked a love letter into his favorite book in his family’s bookshop. She waited. But Henry never came.

Now Rachel has returned to the city—and to the bookshop—to work alongside the boy she’d rather not see, if at all possible, for the rest of her life. But Rachel needs the distraction. Her brother drowned months ago, and she can’t feel anything anymore.

As Henry and Rachel work side by side—surrounded by books, watching love stories unfold, exchanging letters between the pages—they find hope in each other. Because life may be uncontrollable, even unbearable sometimes. But it’s possible that words, and love, and second chances are enough.
 



--------------------------------------

I haven't been reading a lot of YA lately, but this book looks too good to pass up! As a book lover, I think it's so adorable that the main character of this book slipped a love letter into a book for a boy the day she was moving away. Little did she know she'd be back! And they end up working in a bookstore together!? Could this book be any more adorable? I actually received an ARC of this book, so I don't have to wait long to read it, and I can't wait to dig in!

Stacking the Shelves (235)

 
Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews where bloggers share what books they got throughout the week!

From Amazon

I had an Amazon gift card, so I treated myself to two new books! Be My Hero is book three in the Forbidden Men series and I am SO EXCITED for this book! And I have been eyeing Love in Lingerie ever since it was released and can't wait to read it! 

From Kennedy Fox

I am a part of the Kennedy Fox InstaFam, so I was sent a Kennedy Fox Box to unbox and post on my Instagram. Since my box was delayed, though, Kennedy Fox sent me the first two books in their series as well! I was so shocked and thankful that the wonderful author duo would do such a sweet thing! I still can't believe I now own all three books in the series! And the box was so much fun! I loved the first book of this series and cannot wait to dive in to the other two! 


That's it for me! What did you all add to your shelves this week?
