Genres: Adult, Paranormal Romance

Paige Donovan is an ambitious college graduate who aspires to reach the top of the corporate ladder. She’s climbing fast when given the promotion of a lifetime at a prestigious fashion magazine in New York City. Her bright future comes to an unexpected halt after news of her father’s death. She inherits his old cabin in the Colorado Rockies, and just when she thinks her luck couldn’t get any worse, she has a car accident in the mountains and awakens in the small, remote community of Black River.

Soon, she’s engulfed in the mystical world of Varulv—wolves descended from 13th century Scandinavia and blessed by Norse gods with the ability to appear human. Paige is desperate to return home, but never expects to fall for her rescuer, Riley Gray, a charming young werewolf from England who offers her an alternate future with his pack.

Now, she must choose between the career she’s always wanted and the love she’s always dreamed.

Paige it's a strong woman i really love her i felt her pain, her love for Riley, her desire, i love how she made an awful desicion for the pack! everything i read about her i felt it, she was real to me and i love that because characters are as important as the storyline for me.

Riley OMG what an alpha male -despite he was the beta male in the pack- i just LOVE HIM now i want to be a the mate of a varulv like him, hes cute, loyal, HOT, kind and he fight for what he wants in order to get it and i love that -and yes Riley i'll do it with you in your wolf form- 

I love every character in this book except for Dominic.. who i hate with all my heart (but Gosh i felt atracted to him too), and also Celia i hate her a little bit. 

And OMG this is my fav. highlight ever: Riley's words were soft and light as a feather. "Since i was a pup. I've only wanted  YOU as my mate" 

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK, you will LOVE it, its well written the characters are well done and the storyline is ORIGINAL & PERFECT!!

Cover Reveal: Captivate Me by S.J. Pierce

Captivate Me by S.J. Pierce 

Publication date: April 1st 2014 

Genres: Paranormal Romance, Young Adult

“My mom had always told me – when you meet “the one”, you’ll know; they’ll captivate your heart the moment you lay eyes on them. I had always wondered, though, if my mom’s words of wisdom were finite – if they applied to everyone. Maybe those who had found their one great love were the lucky few, and maybe the rest of us would have to settle for less than earth-shattering.”

Seventeen-year-old Kat Walsh is a Gifted – a human with paranormal abilities. With her mom a former Angel and her dad a dream prophet, it’s always been in her genetic make-up to be extraordinary. Unfortunately for her, the world can’t handle the strange or unusual. So when she slips up and uses her powers at her high school in Ireland, the entire student body treats her like a freak – even the ones she thought were her closest friends.

Broken, but hopeful for a fresh start, she allows her parents to enroll her in a boarding school buried deep within the forests of a small Colorado town. At Midland Pines, School for the Gifted, she feels as though she can finally be herself; she makes new friends and even has the attention of the most popular guy in school – Levi. Everything feels normal again… or does it?

Not long after her arrival, weird dreams of an alluring boy whom she’s never met surface during the night, and the eerie, shadowy trees encircling their school seem to call to her. As these disturbing, yet enticing developments intensify, other bizarre occurrences happen – students and staff turn up missing, and mystery visitors leave gifts while she sleeps. With all of these other things vying for her attention, a desperate Levi has to fight even harder to keep her interest. But with the dreams of the attractive boy slowly captivating her heart, Kat has to make a choice – will she settle for ‘great’ Levi, or will she search for her elusive dream visitor, possibly stumbling across ‘amazing?’

From the author of the Alyx Rayer Chronicles, comes a refreshingly different Young Adult series with plenty of love, suspense, and a new take on the Paranormal.

Recommended for readers 16 and up due to mature content.

Susan James Pierce has a degree in Marketing Management, works for a Fortune 500 company in Atlanta, Georgia, and devotes her precious, spare time to writing Fantasy and Sci-fi novels. 

Even though her full-time career has nothing to do with books at all, she has always enjoyed complex storytelling with fascinating characters, and has had a penchant for the written word since grade school. As a matter of fact, her first publishing credit was a poem she wrote at the age of twelve. Why her love for writing never translated into a career, she can only attribute to 'life happens', but her wish is that she can redirect her career path into something that satisfies her creative inner-self.

This book is book one in a three part series.

Happily ever after doesn’t exist. Not just in the romantic sense, but in the sense that there will never be a point in life that will contain no more obstacles. 

Josie Sommers is a nerdy twenty four year old, elementary school teacher who has always considered herself a strong person. But with the loss of a loved one and the return of someone she vowed to never see again, her strength starts to break. 

When he betrayed her in the ultimate way, she never thought she would let him back into her life, let alone open herself up to falling back in love with him. 

Plagued with resentment and the burden of her own dishonesty, 
Josie has to decide if forgiving and coming clean is worth the risk of losing him again. With so many hurdles, we know that Josie’s story is no fairytale. 

That’s a promise.

I am a devoted book nerd who is dedicated to ALWAYS reading! I am a wife and mother to a three year old little girl. My husband and I have been together for almost five years, and I love that he is my biggest supporter. He makes it possible for me to be a stay at home mother, student, and a writer! I have a passion for reading and writing, and I have put my heart into every word I write. My first book, That's a Promise will be released December 10th! I hope you all enjoy!

Review: Three broken promises by Monica Murphy (Drew+Fable #3)

Three broken promises

by Monica Murphy

 (Drew+Fable #3)

Commitment. That’s what I really want from Colin. Ever since my brother, Danny, died in Iraq, Colin’s done so much to help me, including giving me a job at his popular restaurant so I can leave my crappy waitressing job at the strip joint. But lying in bed with him every night to comfort him from his horrible nightmares isn’t enough anymore. I know he feels guilty about Danny’s death, about not going to Iraq, but I can’t keep living this double life.

I love him desperately, but he’s got so many demons, and if he can’t open up to me now, then he’ll never be the real partner I need him to be. I gave him a month, and now I’m out of here. If he truly loves me like he says, he knows where to find me.

I'll give this book 3,5 minibooks

(spoilers free)

Well, I dont know exactly how to do this, bc I finished it two days ago and I still cant process what this book has made to me.
Well, I loved the first book, even if sometimes I thought there was too much drama, Drew was (and still is) so lovely, and adorable, and he's so broken, and I just can't deal with him being hurt. I didnt like the second book so much, there were parts where I put the book down and say: what the hell am I readin? It looked like Monica had lost all her ideas about the book. But when I read this book, I remembered why I liked the first one
Fable is a ver strong protagonist. You know, we all are totally sick of stupid, innocent, unpalatable and brainless girls who cant believe that this unbelievabe boy is whit them. Fable has been hurt, but she loves Drew, and she will fight for him until the dead.
The relationship this two have its strong and beautiful, but sometimes they have to remember why they love each other, because this books show a real relation, with real problemas (even if its with too much drama), a real persons, a real behaviors.
This what I loved from this books; theyre real.
I loved Drew in this book, he is still him but he is so much mature, strong, and he finnally realices that he isnt the only one who needs someone, Fable needs him to. That momento was simply magnific.
I didnt like sooo much drama (wow, how many times have I said so), but its a NA romance, it HAS to have drama, the surprise whould be if it hadn't
In brief, its a lovely book with great characters, well written and with a totally memorable ending <3
