<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Twenty-two-year-old historical romance writer
Nicole Blake, or N.S. Blake to her readers, hasn't taken an official poll, mind
you, but she is convinced she may be the only romance author on the planet who
is still a card-carrying member of the virgin club.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Not that she hasn't tried to end her
membership. Life just keeps finding pesky ways to interfere. With no prospects
on the horizon, Nicole begins to feel lik<span class="textexposedshow">e the
closest she will ever get to experiencing a man is within her own stories.</span></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span class="textexposedshow"></span></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Opportunity presents itself in the form of
hot-as-sin-on-a-lollipop-stick bartender/premed student Alec Petropoulos, who
agrees to be the cover model for her upcoming book. Sparks fly instantly
between them, and Nicole begins to entertain the possibility that she's finally
found the right guy to hand over her tattered V-card. Alec has all the makings
for a perfect one-night-stand candidate except, much to Nicole's surprise, he
seems to be the only man in existence not interested in bagging a virgin.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Stuck between a rock and a stubborn male,
what's a virgin to do? Seduce him, of course. How hard could it be? If it works
for the characters in her stories, why wouldn't it work for her?</span> </blockquote>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>My Review:</b></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've said time and again how much I absolutely love <i>Poughkeepsie</i>. I've read the book so many times and each time I find something new that I fall in love with.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, I was so very excited when Debra mentioned an app with all these goodies included.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've been very lucky and feel very honored that I am a part of Debra's badass street team for <i>Poughkeepsie</i> and got an exclusive look at this amazing app.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What can I say about it? Seriously, if every book had an app like this, I'd be in freaking heaven. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All the music, pictures, interviews.....my mind is blown. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am so happy for Debra to be launching this app and that I was included in helping her announce the release.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you haven't read the book, I encourage you to not only read the book but get this extraordinary app and get the experience of a lifetime.</span></center>

Short interview with the lovely Debra Anastasia:</center>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
<i><b>1. I have to say that Poughkeepsie is so unusual and so very extraordinary. Where did the idea of this book start?</b> </i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
I was really inspired to write a romance that had a lead hero with nothing more than his love to offer the girl of his dreams. I wanted to highlight the every day kind of love that I think is the most special.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
<b><i>2. Have any of the characters in the series been based on any personal friends or someone you know personally? They are each so unique and have had such random backgrounds. I was always curious ;-)</i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
You are so sweet! There are parts of everyone I love in each of these characters. Blake reminds me of my husband and Beckett came from a steady diet of stories form my father and uncle growing up. They were both dead set on doing the right thing, every time no matter what!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
<i><b>3. How did the idea of this enhanced app come about?</b> </i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
Omnific approached my almost two years ago and I jumped on the chance. Anyway to give my readers more content to Poughkeepsie, I was going to take.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
<b><i>4. It seems like a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this app. Knowing how much of a hard long process this would take, what made you decide to go through with it? </i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
I had no idea it would take what it did. I knew I set the bar really high and I was supported in that goal by my publishier, so even in the darkest moments, I had to get it done. They believed in me and I wanted it to be everything it could for my readers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
<i><b>5. Are you planning on having any more of the series made into an enhanced app? Because I seriously will snatch them up. ;-)</b> </i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">
Thank you! No plans as of right now. I actually worked on a brief handbook for other authors on how to create an Enhanced version, but right now my focus is writing Saving Poughkeepsie (Poughkeepsie Brotherhood Series #3)<br />

There’s dinner, the dogs, the two kids, and her violent IBS–which is under control thanks to medication except for occasional multi-tonal farts. Her first love and crowning achievement is her thriving career as the weirdest mom on the block.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Signika Negative', sans-serif; font-size: 1.08333em; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: center;">
Her writing started a decent handful of years ago when–along with the animals and humans in her house–the voices of characters started whispering stories in Debra’s ear. Insomnia was the gateway to plots that wouldn’t give up, wouldn’t let go. Now they stalk her everywhere. Halfway through making lunches, a twist takes hold and–fingers full of peanut butter–she finds somewhere, anywhere to write it down.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Signika Negative', sans-serif; font-size: 1.08333em; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: center;">
She’s eternally grateful to Omnific Publishing, which has now published four of her books: two in the Seraphim Series and two in the Poughkeepsie Brotherhood Series, as well as her novella, Late Night with Andres. That one is special because 100% of the proceeds go to breast cancer research. (So go get it right now, please!) She also very much appreciates her open-minded readers, who embrace everything<br />
she has to offer, with a focus on anti-heroes and bathroom humor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: 'Signika Negative', sans-serif; font-size: 1.08333em; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; text-align: center;">
Debra lives in Maryland with her family. You can find her at DebraAnastasia.com and on Twitter @Debra_Anastasia. But be prepared.</div>

A quick note from Debra:</center>
</h3>
<center>
</center>
<center>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I started my Street Team, I knew it would be an amazing
group. My readers are my favorite people. I know for a fact that we would all
have a great time together. They are smart, adorable and deal with my crazy
ass. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These ladies were on my mind while constructing the
Poughkeepsie Enhanced Collector’s Edition app. I wondered what I could add to
the novel that they had already read that would help it feel like they were
reading it for the first time…again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I decided on commentary, and I imagined us all at a table
and picked out the stories I would share. My developer made them into little
pop up bubbles on text. That was the first layer of this huge project. Then
came the building blocks or the music, the extra scenes, sounds, moving gifs,
videos and so much more. The end result is literally my dream come true. It’s
like the most deluxe reading experience I’ve ever seen. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my head I wanted to make my Street Team proud, and I
really hope they like this new version of Poughkeepsie. Of course, they are
awesome helpers with the app release your. We will be getting together to have
a huge Twitter flash mob on March 19<sup>th</sup> at 7pm EST. It will be our
second one. The first was such a blast, I can not wait to do it again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jessica from Hackaroo’s Reviews here is on my Street team and
I cherish her! Thank you so much for letting me on your blog today. XOX<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><br />

<center>
<b>What did I think?</b></center>
<center>
I will say, first off, that this is honestly one of the hardest reviews I have ever had to write. One, because the author was a favorite of mine and two, because I really <i>really</i> didn't care for it. At all. It breaks my heart. Truly it does, but I have to be honest here. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
First of all, I've read the other <i>two</i> books in this series. That's right....there are <i>two </i>books before this one. <i>Fallen Too Far </i> & <i>Never Too Far</i> are the other two in the series. Those should have been it for this series in my opinion. <i>Forever Too Far</i> shouldn't have been written. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Why? You ask....well...it's because....It is the <i>same</i> story. 99% of this book is EXACTLY like the other two. There was no plot, no story line and no character development.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I knew this was going to be bust when I started to read it but I wanted to give the author the benefit of the doubt because she was a favorite of mine. I read this with my bestie April. We are in the same boat in regards to the author and her books so were pretty wary walking into it.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Here are some examples about what I'm talking about:</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
<b>1. No Plot</b></center>
<center>
Okay, so if you've read either of the first two books, you know that Rush and B;air are 'in love' and all that jazz. This is just a continuation of their relationship. The only thing that's really different is that Blair is farther along in her pregnancy. Nothing else happens. Oh wait....there's sex. Of course. There is always sex in these novels nowadays. Oh ya! Blair re-unites with her dad. Again.</center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>2. No Story Line</b></center>
<center>
See what I mentioned above? It applies here too. This book was just a waste of my time and energy. I will be more honest and say that I probably skimmed over 75% of this book because it was all the same things. There was no climax, no comic relief.....blah.</center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>3. No Character Development</b></center>
<center>
Seriously...this part was the most irritating to me. In the first two books, Rush is a dick with a capital "D" and takes Blair for granted. Blair is too "naive or nice" to really stand up for herself. Rush leaves her when she needs him most and it's for his evil bitch of a sister Nan.</center>
<center>
Yea...nothing has changed in any of the characters. Rush does the same damn thing and leaves Blair in a crucial moment to go "rescue" his sister. Blair runs away instead of facing her problems and forgives Rush because she "loves" him so very much and she's having his baby.</center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>4. The Sex</b></center>
<center>
Please don't get me wrong. I like sex scenes as much as the next blogger/girl. But I like it when it isn't so.... raunchy really. I like the sex to have meaning in it and the story to back it up. This doesn't happen here. </center>
<center>
One thing that I will touch on that made me EXTREMELY irritated is that Blair is nearing the end of her pregnancy....she's "huge" and has an episode where she starts to bleed. </center>
<center>
Now I know you can bleed during pregnancy and it's nothing really bad. But the way it was described in the book, she went to the hospital because she was having pains as well. That's a pretty good idea of danger zone. And yet.....they still have sex after her hospital trip. If Rush really cared, it wouldn't be so much of an issue to say, "you know what? maybe we should just wait." But both of them are such horn dogs, they can't stand to not have sex at least once a day.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
<b>5. "Love"</b></center>
<center>
Are Rush and Blair really in love or just in lust? Rush constantly puts his sister above Blair and doesn't give Blair the back up she should have.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Example:</center>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<center>
Blaire was pregnant and her emotions were harder for her to control. However, I needed to talk to her about just being quiet around Nan.</center>
</blockquote>
<center>
Are you effing me?! <i>This</i> is the type of guy ladies want now? An insensitive a**hole? Excuse me while I throw up a little in my mouth.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I know this review was a bit ranty. I have to be true to my feelings and be honest. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I used to love books by Abbi Glines. They were great when she first started. The story had depth and no sex in it. I still adore those books but I found out that she is re-writing them to make them more "steamy" and I can't even....it hurts. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I won't be buying any more of her books from now on because I want my stories to be just that. STORIES. Not just sex books. If I wanted to read about sex I'd get erotica and call it a day. But I'm not that into the erotica. </center>
<center>
I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. Here is another review that's along the same lines as mine:</center>
<center>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I know A LOT of people LOVED this book and the series. Here are some of the reviews they wrote about it:</span><br />

</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I just.....I can't get over the fact that this is so popular and it's a series where the main guy is a total douche. Yes, he's good looking....but why not be a nice guy and not a man-whore? I mean, really.... This is what we want our little girls to think is ok? I'm so over this author and what these books stand for.</center>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Catherine has spent her life being the perfect princess. She’s kept her hands clean, her head down, and most importantly—men at arm’s length. After all, most men are after only one thing, and for Cathy there’s a lot more at stake than her bed; she has to worry about the fate of an entire nation. But at the rate she’s going, Cathy is afraid she’ll give the Virgin Queen a run for her money. She is tired of waiting for someone good enough to come along. She has a plan, and it all hinges on seducing the one man who seems utterly unimpressed by all things royal. The one man she is tempted by more than any other . . .<br />
<br />
When David arrives at the royal wedding of his friend, the newly ordained Duchess Samantha Rousseau, he expected to feel uncomfortable and out of his element, but he wasn’t prepared to be targeted by Prince Alex’s gorgeous younger sister. With Cathy’s giant blue eyes, killer figure, and sense of humor, it won’t take long before he gives in. But when he finds out just how innocent the crown princess really is, will he play the part of knight in shining armor or the dashing rogue?</div>

<b>My Review:</b></center>
<center>
Oh holy hell, where do I start? I finished reading this book on Feb. 20 and I <i>still</i> have a book hangover from it. I am having such a hard time wrapping my mind around this book and the series as a whole.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
<i>Ignite Me</i> has to be my favorite book to read out of the whole series and it is the perfect ending. I absolutely loved this book. I know there are a lot of fans that were not happy with the way things ended but I thought it was completely perfect.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
There were times I did get frustrated with Juliette, as always. She has a real problem with standing up for herself. But when she does, boom!! Burn!! ;-) Everything escalates and comes to head but syncs up quite nicely.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
It's hard to write a review without spoilers since this just came out so I'm going to try my hardest not to be spoiler-y. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I'll go with the characters first....</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Adam...well, if you read <i>Fracture Me</i>, you have some inkling into what kind of person he is becoming. I still love him because he still tries his best for what he thinks is right. That's not always the case but he becomes quite a...well...snot. LOL His love for James is unconditional as it should be. But his love for Juliette? Is brought into question and made me think about it for a while.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Warner....is well....okay I am going to say that I think he is a <i>real</i> character. I don't know how exactly to put it really except that....I wish there were a lot more Warners out there in the real world. He is by far one of my all time favorite characters I've read. His feelings for Juliette really shine through this entire novel. Even more than in <i>Unravel Me </i>and <i>Destroy Me</i>. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Kenji.....as always one of the best characters in the series. Yes, as I've said, he is a comic relief but not just that. He is everything that Juliette needed in a friend and more. One of my favorite lines was when Juliette and Warner were talking and he mentioned Kenji and she said, "He's my best friend." Oh man it touched my heart. LOVED that.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Juliette....She's grown up quite a bit from the first book. It was really cool to see her transition into a strong person. Some of the ways she handled herself in certain situations frustrated me because she doesn't say what she really should have. But by the end, I was so damn proud of her. Wow. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
While I was reading this final book, I kept catching myself thinking about how old all these characters were. Seriously....the was the book projected them, made them seem older than they were. I had to keep reminding myself that they are 17-19 years old. Although I guess when you've been through what they all went through, you age a lot more.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I thought that the ending "battle" was a bit rushed and that the relationships were the real main focus. The ending did almost leave it open in case Mafi ever wants to revisit this series. I honestly don't really want her to because I thought the ending was perfect the way it was.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
In closing I will say this: CHAPTER 55. CHAPTER 55. CHAPTER 55. CHAPTER 55!!!</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
;-)</center>

<b>My Review:</b></center>
<center>
After reading Warner's POV in <i>Destroy Me</i>, I was a little wary on how this one was going to turn out. Warner brought on a new perspective that I didn't see coming. So I was pretty excited to see what <i>Unravel Me</i> had to offer.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I honestly had mixed feelings about this book. I liked it, but I didn't love it. Don't get me wrong, it was action packed and didn't really lag too much but the thing that made me <i>not</i> love it was that Juliette was sort of......whiny? </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
During most of the book, she goes inside herself and questions a lot of what she's doing. It gets a little annoying but I do get where she is coming from. I mean, she was incarcerated for most of her life and doesn't quite know how to act or react to things. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I did, however, enjoy when she would go all crazy powerful. It was pretty badass. Once she let go of her inner turmoil, she shined. I liked that aspect completely.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Kenji is the total saving grace in this entire novel. I loved him so hardcore in this book and he is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters. Yes, he is the comedy relief but he is also, in a weird way, Juliette's strength and pushes her in the right direction. He is too adorable.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Warner, as always, is a contradiction. You know what he feels and yet Juliette doesn't quite get it. I don't know if she plays stupid but she needs to wise up to the fact that Warner is sooooooo into her. Whenever I read something about him I melt a little more.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Adam......confuses me in this book. He was the nice guy in <i>Shatter Me</i>, but in this book, he is showing other signs of someone else. I feel like he doesn't quite get where Juliette is coming from in their "relationship". He doesn't understand that she can't hurt him and I get her point too. But Adam just seems so crazy in this book. I still love him because he tries so hard to be the knight in shining armor but his shine is wearing off a little bit. It's a really cool twist to the story that I wasn't expecting. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Mafi's writing style, as always, needs to be made clear. She writes unlike any other author. The poetic flow of her words brings everything to a new light and makes me feel completely different than what I expect. It's truly amazing.</center>
<center>

<b>My Review:</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
Just as I liked seeing Warner's POV in <i>Destroy Me</i>, I liked reading from Adam's POV. It's a great perspective to see the thoughts and feelings of another character.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Also, just like in <i>Destroy Me</i>, I was surprised at what I saw in this novella. I was all prepared to sympathize with Adam on how heartbroken he was over Juliette and his love for her.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I was quite surprised to find that Adam wasn't all he's cracked up to be. His love for his brother was never in question. But his thoughts on Juliette and her feelings were another story. His disregard to Juliette's feelings was quite a blow.</center>

After everything that happened to Omega Point at the end of <i>Unravel Me</i>, I was quite shocked that Juliette (his true love) wasn't his immediate thought. Yes, I get that his little brother is his first and foremost but Juliette didn't even come into the picture until Kenji brought her up. Kenji was the one who wanted to go and find her.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I have to say that Adam was the epitomy of hero in the first book but now....I'm not so sure what to really see him as. <i>Ignite Me</i> is sure to be a high octane book to tie up all loose ends that are so intertwined in the first 4. I'm excited. So very excited.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I only gave this 3 stars just because I had high hopes of Adam and although I still love him, I'm disappointed in his character. A little heartbroken really.</center>

<b>My Review:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now I originally read this back in 2011 when it first came out and I was blown away. Not only with the story but the writing. I've never read anything like it and I was enthralled. Here is my review from 2011 on Goodreads: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/222656109?book_show_action=false">REVIEW</a> .</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I recently re-read this book to refresh my memory on what exactly happened because I knew <i>Ignite Me</i> came out and I was anxious to read it. So this is just a sort of mini review for <i>Shatter Me</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Even though I've read this book before (3 years ago) I was still amazed by the writing in this book. Yes, the ending was a bit like X-Men but that's ok because I actually love X-Men. It was great to get a refresher on this book because I couldn't wait to read the rest in the series.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Juliette still broke my heart with her scratched out thoughts and Adam was the knight and shining armor that fairy tales are made of. The love scenes were so intense and just so....passionate. I loved every minute of this re-read. I cannot wait to see what happens next. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Even though everybody says Warner is a jerk, I still think he's hot and I LOVE a good bad boy lol.</div>

<b>My Review:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now going into this book I wasn't too much of a Warner fan. Just because he seemed a little crazy and bipolar. I still have a crush on him because the way Juliette described him was just so perfect. I loved it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, after reading the book, I am completely taken with Warner. Really and truly taken with him. I love Adam too but Warner.....it just....*sigh*. I'm not sure how to express what I think. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I really enjoyed seeing his side of things. It's a great perspective to see how deep he truly is and where is heart and mind truly lie. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One of my favorite parts was the scene with the dog. Oh my goodness I think my heart literally melted into a pile of goo all over the floor. I almost cried....almost. Mafi's style of writing just blows me away.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love little novellas like this so you can see a peek into another character's psyche. Now that I've seen Warner's mind, I don't think I wanted to leave it. I just hope he doesn't turn into a complete douche by the end.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'll still love him though I'm sure.</div>

<b>My Review:</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Where do I start with this book? I will go with a few words that I think describe it pretty well: touching, heartfelt, heartbreaking, perspective changing.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I will say that I enjoyed this book. I truly did. I read this with my bestie April. We've both been wanting to read this for a while but never got around to it. Now that it's becoming a movie in the next month or so we thought we would speed it up on our TBR list. Once we saw the trailer for the movie, it had to be the next one in the long line of our "buddy read" list.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm not going to say I didn't know what to expect. Because, frankly, I knew what was going to happen more or less. But even though I had an idea of what to expect, I still was surprised. Granted, the main reason why I only gave this 4 out of 5 stars is that it seemed a bit too....intellectual for me. Now, I'm not saying I'm ignorant by any means when reading books but there were areas when I had to re-read the excerpt to understand it. I consider myself pretty well rounded in the whole reading category since I read quite a bit.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This book made me truly think. I try to read as objectively as I possibly can. This book made that very difficult for a few reasons:</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
1. I'm a mother. After voxing with April, I realized that I felt the same way as she did. I can put myself in her mother's shoes and read as a mom. Reading that way nearly tore my heart out. How do you deal with something like that? How? You're one and only child is sick and so close to death. How do you <i>do </i> that? I have no idea what I would do if I were ever in that position. It gave me a new perspective on caregivers. Seriously. Mad props out to those who care for their sick loved ones. All around.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
2. I'm a wife. I'm in love. Everyone should have the chance to love someone and have that person return it. Sick or not. To see that these two teenagers love so deeply touched my heart. You don't think about that kind of thing when you see someone with an oxygen tank rolling with them. They are teenagers in the book but their love for each other is so beyond their years because of where they've been. What they've been through. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
3. I am a best friend. I have people that I consider my best friend and they (hopefully) consider me theirs. There is a point in TFIOS that I thoroughly agree with. When someone passes away, suddenly all these people coming out of the woodwork saying how sorry they were and what a great person they were. Did they really <i>know </i>them? Truly? If I found out one of my best friends was sick, I'd be there <i>everyday. </i>Just to be there. I thought that was awesome that Green touched on that.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This book completely changed my outlook on a few things. I am really glad that I read it and even though it wasn't my favorite, I will read it again. Maybe not soon because my heart is still a little raw, but I will. Not sure if I'll see the movie since movies tend to ruin the book. Or vice versa. The books are always better. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Hazel was fantastic. I loved her sense of humor and her views on life. She was very honest and very blunt. I'm sure she didn't want to hurt people's feelings with what she said but I enjoyed her honesty and her directness.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Augustus was...just....*sigh*. I thought he was so very perfect. He really made the book for me. His overwhelming love for Hazel was so touching. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Actually their love for each other was completely perfect. I don't know how to describe it. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I can't really say too much because I don't do spoilers. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
John Green's words just jump of the page and are written extremely well. There wasn't any fluff. Everything was just great. I felt this book was very real and very beautiful. </center>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<center style="text-align: left;">
"It seemed like forever ago, like we'd had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.</center>
</blockquote>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I strongly encourage you to pick this book up and read it. It really is a good book with a great story.</center>

<b>My Review:</b></center>
<center>
I recently finished <i>Divergent</i> at the end of 2013 and I ws anxiously waiting to read this one. Me and my bestie April over at <a href="http://sim-sational-books.blogspot.com/">Sim Sational Books</a> promised to do a bunch of buddy reads this year and finishing this series is in that list. I couldn't wait to start <i>Insurgent</i>. The previous books left it wide open.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Let me first tell you that I am totally pushing for buddy reads. They are probably the best thing ever. Reading with someone who has the same taste and same passion of books as you makes reading so much more fun. Voxer adds it all together with live narration of sorts. It's incredible. I highly suggest you do it.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
On to my review.....one word for <i>Insurgent...</i>WOW. This book is completely non stop with all the action and politics. I love that you don't know what is going to happen and it keeps you guessing. All the way until the cliffhanger ending.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I adore Tris and think she's a complete badass chick. She's been through so much and she still stands so strong. One of my favorite characters ever.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Four is dreamy but to me a little wishy washy sometimes. He's still dreamy though don't get me wrong. I understand where he is coming from in most of his little arguments with Tris.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I will say that was the downer of the book. Tris and Four argue quite a bit and I get that couples argue but I didn't like that it was the main focus for a while. There was just so much other stuff going on that should've been priority.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Other than the arguing, this was fantastic and cannot wait to read <i>Allegiant.</i> I will say that I highly dislike Four's mom....She's pretty shifty. Oh! And I want to slap Caleb in the face....more like punch.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Buddy read #2-<i>Allegiant</i> April and I are coming for you!!</center>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Stella Dahl assumed her life was as good as it was ever going to get. But after twelve years with a man who’s more a habit than husband material, she walks out on her bland existence, determined to start over. Goaded by her friends and a group of crass retirees she befriends at water aerobics, Stella plunges back into the dating pool. After a few false starts, she meets Joe, the sexy banjo player in a popular children’s band. He’s cocky, a smirking flirt, and a musician...everything she’s *not* looking for in a guy. Even still, she begins to fall — hard.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Just when Stella is beginning to think she could find true happiness, a family tragedy turns her world upside down.

My Review:</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I was a bit torn on this book. I give it 2.5 stars out of 5 because....well....it felt like trudging through mud for me to finish this book. But I liked it enough to push through and finish it.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
When I read the description and saw the cover, I thought it would be a cute little romantic comedy about a woman who finds herself wanting <i>more</i> out of life. Even though there is a love story in there, it wasn't the main focus and it really wasn't a love story persay.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Don't get me wrong....it wasn't completely horrible....but I probably wouldn't give it a high recommendation. Mainly for the fact that the story was blah and seemed so very long. I'll get more into that in a minute.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I'll go over the characters in the book first....</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Stella....she was a likable character sometimes. Well, for me, not very often. I found her whiny and pretty much a wimp who wouldn't stand up for herself. That could be due to the fact she had a rough go of it most of her young adult life.I can see that to a point I suppose. But throughout the book, she just....can't make a decision and lets people walk all over her.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Eric is douche. Pretty plan and simple. She's with him for 12 years. I guess when you're stuck in a rut....that's what you get. I really didn't understand his appeal in this book. That might be because the author didn't really paint a good picture of him. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
Joe....He seemed really adorable and cute. He was. Just a little too "go with the flow" for me. He put up with a lot of stupid crap from Stella which I gave him mad props for. He stuck by her and wanted to be with her so he was a nice character. He had a really sweet heart and was willing to change his "whorish ways". He was pretty damn honest with Stella from the beginning and so he was probably my favorite character in the book. </center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
All of Stella's friends were pretty damn judgmental. This whole book was based off a lot of judgemental. Stella getting the brunt of it and dishing it out herself. Her friends were really.....not who I would've picked as friends I guess. I don't really see the appeal to most of them.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
I'm starting to get ranty so I think I'm going to end my review here. Overall....this book didn't work for me. It could work for other people but all I got to say is I'm glad I got this for free. I try to research my freebies before downloading them and this has quite a few 5 and 4 star reviews. It just wasn't my kind of book.</center>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Beckett Taylor is a murderer. His calling, his craft are destruction and intimidation—whether he wants it that way now or not. He left Poughkeepsie to keep his brothers safe, to keep Eve safe. Set up with happy lives to live, they’re better off without him, right?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">But all his willpower crumbles when he hears his brother Blake’s frantic voice on the phone. An unknown enemy has moved in on his old territory, and Livia’s been taken. In an instant, Beckett knows it will take an attack only he and Eve can execute to bring her back. All his self-imposed embargoes are torn to shreds, perhaps along with the new man he’s struggled to become.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">“Brother, call Eve. I’ll be there soon.” </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">In this emotional and action-packed sequel to Poughkeepsie, Debra Anastasia conjures a tale of love at its most raw and ragged. With Beckett and Eve, how could we expect anything less? But even when it’s messy, not magical, true love perseveres. Real love finds a way—for better or for worse until death does part.</span></blockquote>

<b>My Review:</b></center>
</h3>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Where do I even start with this? I will try my damnedest to be spoiler free. <i>Poughkeepsie</i> is one of my all time favorite books. It was my top for 2012 and it will remain my top forever more. I wrote my review for that on my old blog a while ago. If you want to look at it you can click <a href="http://hackaroosreviews.wordpress.com/2012/07/09/review-poughkeepsie-by-debra-anastasia/">here</a>.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Since I loved <i>Poughkeepsie</i> so very much, you can probably guess at my enthusiasm to read the second book. I loved Beckett and couldn't wait to see his side of things. Not only that, but Eve gives me a lady boner. She is my favorite character in this series. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I could probably sum up my reaction to <i>Return To Poughkeepsie</i> in a few short words: Wow. Rocked. My. Entire. Universe. Debra Anastasia has the insane ability to be a true storyteller. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Okay....So now with the story....(without spoilers I promise)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
If you've read <i>Poughkeepsie</i>, you know that Beckett Taylor is a complete badass with some crazy on the side. But it's the good kind of badass and the hot kind of crazy right?! At least. that's how I justify it. Haha. I do have to say it was really awesome to see most of this from his point of view and his reactions. It was wonderful to see this man's side of things. I loved being inside of his head. His love for his brothers and their wives is overwhelming and completely endearing. I knew he had a heart. It shows a lot more in this book. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Eve. Oh, my dear deadly Eve. Man I wish I could have her as a bestie!! Holy crap what a woman. Like I've mentioned above, she gives me a lady boner and I don't know who really wouldn't for this chick. She's had a rough go of it and keeps it together....mostly. I just love how Debra showcased her complete badassery in this book. Also, her compassionate and softer side. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I could go into Blake, Livia, Kyle & Cole but really.....this book is about Beckett and Eve. Yes, all the other main characters from the first book are in here....but they aren't the main focus. I still love them all but Beckett and Eve's story is the forefront and I want to keep that in main focus. I will say that there are some moments in this book that Debra had me in tears for these 4. So don't count them out. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The whole story is crazy action packed. Full of twists and turns that you don't really see coming. This book has the ENTIRE package of what a book is supposed to be. Romance, action, debauchery, crazy ( I should highlight the crazy), sex, passion, compassion, adventure....I swear the list goes on and on.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
From the very beginning, Debra Anastasia bitch slaps you and catches your attention. She keeps it the entire time. She has such a way with it. She can bitch slap me anytime and I'd enjoy the hell out of it. I truly do not think she could ever write a book that I wouldn't enjoy to the fullest. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I know I've said it before tons of times....but seriously...I have to say it again. Debra Anastasia has become one of my all time favorite authors and will forever remain one. I consider her a friend and one of the most outrageously funny women I know. If you've ever read her facebook statuses you know what I'm talking about. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Personal stuff aside, she truly has a way with words and her approach to storytelling is unlike anything I've ever seen. Her words can have you busting up one second and touching your heart the next. All of the stories intertwine and I love it. I cannot recommend this book and this series enough. There are not enough words for me to describe just how much <i>Poughkeepsie</i> moved me when I read it the first time. It still moves me every time I read it. <i>Return To Poughkeepsie</i> is just as enchanting. </center>

Debra Anastasia is busy, just like every other mom. There's dinner, the dogs, the two kids, the two kids, and her ongoing battle with...ahem... digestive issues, which combined with her adolescent boy sense of humor makes for colorful and sometimes cringe-worthy social media updates. Her first love and crowning achievement is her thriving career as the weirdest mom on the block.</div>

Insomnia was the gateway to plots that wouldn't give up, wouldn't let go. Now they stalk her everywhere. Halfway through making lunches, a twist takes hold and--fingers full of peanut butter--she finds somewhere, anywhere to write it down.</span></div>

She's eternally grateful to Omnific Publishing, which has now published four of her books: two in the Seraphim Series and two in the Poughkeepsie Brotherhood Series, as well as her novella, Late Night with Andres. That one is special because 100% of the proceeds go to breast cancer research. (So go get it right now, please!) She also very much appreciates her open-minded readers, who embrace everything she has to offer, with a focus on anti-heroes and bathroom humor.</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 120%; position: relative; top: 8pt;">“Tell me your name.”</span><span style="font-family: Courier; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 120%; position: relative; top: 8pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">A shiver runs down my spine at the
commanding, deep voice that sounds in my ear. I keep myself still, trying my
best not to react considering we’re surrounded by at least a hundred people,
but oh, how I want to.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">If I could, I’d throw myself into the arms
of the man who’s standing far too close to me.
He’s demanding to know my name as if I owe him some sort of favor, which
I can’t help but find hot.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Irritating, but hot.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">“Tell me yours first,” I murmur in return,
turning my head in the opposite direction, so it appears I’m not even talking
to him. He stands behind me, tall and broad, imposing in his immaculate black
suit and crisp white shirt—the silvery tie he wears perfectly knotted at his
throat.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">I might not be looking at this very
moment, but I’d memorized everything about him the moment I first saw him not
an hour ago. He’d drawn plenty of attention without saying a word, striding
into the room as if he owned it, casting that calculating gaze upon everyone in
attendance. Looking very much like the mighty king observing his lowly
subjects—until his eyes lit upon me.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">He watched me for long, agonizing minutes.
Butterflies fluttered in my stomach as I felt his hungry eyes rake over my
body, and for a terrifying moment I wondered if he could see right through me.
I shifted the slightest bit, inwardly cursing myself for coming tonight, but I
held firm. I refused to react.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">I still refuse to react.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">“You don’t know who I am?” He sounds
amused at the notion, and I’m tempted to walk away without a word. My earlier
nerves evaporate, replaced by a steely spine and an even steelier attitude.
He’s so confident, so arrogant, I’m sure he believes he has me.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">He doesn’t know who he’s dealing with
then, does he?</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">We’re at a local wine- and
brewery-tasting, and I’m here representing the bakery my family owns. The one I
was recently allowed to take over and run since I’d graduated college. The
business they all believe is going to fail. <i>So
why not give it to Marina? She can’t screw it up too badly.</i></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">That’s what I overheard my father telling
my uncle. The memory of his words still cuts straight to the bone.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Finally I chance a glance at the man
behind me, drinking in his thick brown hair tinged with gold, the way it
tumbles across his forehead, his twinkling green eyes, the faint smile that
curves his full lips. The combination gives him a boyish appearance. It’s a
complete illusion because there is nothing boyish about this virile man before
me.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">“Perhaps you can enlighten me.” I offer a
carefree smile and turn to face him, the nerves returning tenfold when he takes
a step toward me, invading my personal space. His scent hits me first: clean
and subtle, a mixture of soap and just . . . him. No
cologne that I can detect.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Rather unusual. Most of the men I know
slather themselves in expensive scents all with the purpose of drawing us silly
women in. Instead, they end up choking us.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">With the exception of this man. I find the
uniqueness refreshing.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">A slow smile appears, revealing perfectly
straight white teeth. “Gage Emerson.” He thrusts his hand toward me. “And you are . . .?”</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">He’s not very subtle. And he’s exactly who
I suspected, not that I had any real doubt. The very man who recently bought up
what feels like half of the Napa Valley, all in the hopes of turning it around
and selling it to God knows who just to earn a hefty profit.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Not caring in the least that he’s forever
changing the landscape of the very place I’ve grown up in. And devastating my
family in the process.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">“Marina Knight,” I say. God, I sound
breathless, and I want to smack myself. I’m not here tonight because of him. I
came for other reasons. To promote the family bakery, to mix and mingle with
local business owners, many I consider friends. My life in the Napa Valley is
all I know.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 14pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14pt;">And this gorgeous man standing in front of
me is trying to take what I know away from me for good.</span><b><span style="color: red;"> </span></b></blockquote>

SUMMARY:</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
When 22-year-old Summer Stafford’s parents split halfway
through her senior year at college, Summer’s world is rocked. Everything she
thought she knew—heck, everything she thought she wanted for her own life—feels
like a lie. The truth is love is a risk. And the true kind, the kind that
lasts, might even be a fairy tale.<br />
Reeling from the divorce, Summer derails her own future by
breaking up with her parent-approved boyfriend and giving up her lifelong plans
for a big-city career. She moves back home, business degree in hand. Dad needs
her to fill the gaps her mother left behind; Summer needs to find who she is
outside of the cookie-cutter life that failed so miserably for her parents.<br />
Ford O’Neal’s future involves one person: himself. He
doesn’t have a permanent address and he definitely doesn’t commit. To a place
or a person. Raised by hippies, he plans just far enough ahead to secure his
next stop, this one landing him at a work-study program at Heritage Plantation
where he can grow his own herbal and medicinal creations.<br />
Summer is gorgeous and smart and fun to be with, the perfect
way to pass five months. It won’t be love—Ford’s got too many things to
accomplish, too many places to go, before he settles down. Yet Summer pulls him
in, challenging him to rethink his own philosophy.<br />
When Ford’s five months are up, each of them must decide if
love is really worth the risk.</blockquote>

Excerpt:</h3>

<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“’Scuse me, am I
interrupting?” Ford looked back and forth between us uncertainly, his body
already half turned toward the exit. His boots scuffed the floor as he turned
to go without waiting for an answer. How much had he heard?</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“No, it’s fine. Come in,”
I said, before my dad could say otherwise.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Are you sure? I can come
back.”</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Dad was just on his way
out,” I said.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My dad gave me a stern
look before rising, his hat in one hand, his coffee in the other. “I’ll see you
at dinner,” he said to me, his tone ominous and heavy with meaning. We weren’t
done with this conversation. Fine. I’d just keep finding ways to interrupt it.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As distractions went,
Ford wasn’t bad. He had on jeans snug enough around the hips that it got the
imagination going. His brown work boots had seen better days; the sole was
loose around the edges and stained where his frayed jeans met the laces. He
still hadn’t shaved. For a fleeting moment, I wondered what the stubble would
feel like against my skin.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I forced my eyes down,
not wanting to be caught staring—again—and saw that his shirt was blue today.
It matched his eyes. I tried not to compare the two shades, willing myself to
stop thinking about his eyes at all. Or any other part of him. Damn those
jeans…<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After a friendly exchange
of hellos between the two men, Ford shuffled into the empty seat Dad left
behind.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“What can I do for you?”
I asked, abandoning the computer for my cooling mug and trying to appear like I
wasn’t picturing him naked. Well, he could keep the boots on if he wanted.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Dean said to stop by
once you got settled so I could fill out some new employee paperwork.”</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Right. The internship is
paid, isn’t it?”</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“So they tell me.”</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Forms, forms,” I
muttered to myself, using my free hand to explore the contents of the desk
drawers on either side of me. Neither yielded the forms I needed.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I eyed the filing cabinet
across the room. I’d yet to touch it or even venture that way. The entire
cabinet was covered with old artwork I’d brought home as a child. My mother had
secured them with magnets we’d picked up on family vacations and
mother/daughter outings. I didn’t want to touch that thing. Not yet. God, the
entire office still smelled like her.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“You okay?” Ford asked.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I found him studying me
with a mixture of curiosity and concern. I knew my expression must’ve conveyed
some of what I’d been thinking but I wasn’t about to unload all my baggage on
this stranger, hot as he might be.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Fantastic. You?”<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“I’m always great,” he
said, hands folded and shoulders relaxed as he lounged in the chair.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My eyes narrowed,
searching for the sarcasm behind his words, but his tone was genuine and I
realized he meant it. Most people answered with a snappy “fine” or “okay” and
kept it moving. His upbeat answer caught me off guard.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“So … employment forms?”
he prompted.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Forms, right.” I rose
and walked to the filing cabinet, opening drawers and perusing their contents
while trying to ignore the pang in my gut it caused to be touching all of the
old artwork, things that were so absolutely hers yet she hadn’t bothered to
take a single one. She could take the knickknacks from the mantel but not the
kangaroo I’d painted in elementary school, writing her name in glitter across
the top.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I found the forms I needed
and slid the drawer closed. It stuck, and I had to shove it hard to get it to
click. Maybe I could convince Dad to spring for a new one. A clean one. And
this could go out for garbage, artwork and all. I whirled, antsy to escape this
corner of memory lane, and my nose bumped Ford’s chest. Not a bad way to be
injured, but still.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Sorry,” I said, jumping
back. My hip bumped the drawer handle behind me and I winced. Ford looked torn
between amusement and sympathy. “Employment forms,” I said, shoving them at his
chest before he could say a word.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Thank you.”</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“You can fill them out
and bring them back later.”</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Can I stay and fill them
out now?”<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I grimaced. He still
hadn’t moved, and his closeness only heightened my discomfort. Not so much from
the pain of the metal against my thigh, but from the way I could feel his
presence without a single part of our bodies touching. Like when you rub a
balloon for so long, you can feel it pricking at you from an inch away. I’d
never felt that from another person before, let alone a man. I hadn’t known
such a feeling existed. It was exciting and thrilling and terrifying.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Sure,” I answered, my
voice hoarse.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When he still didn’t
move, I looked up and met his eyes. He was studying me with an intensity in
those blue-grays that made it hard to breathe. “Is there something else?” I
managed to say through a suddenly parched throat.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Yes.” He leaned down and
for a split second, I thought he was going to kiss me. I blanched and the sheet
of static between us evaporated instantly. His expression smoothed so quickly I
wondered if I’d imagined the entire thing. But no, there was definitely a level
of tension in him too.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He cleared his throat at
the same time I wiped my sweaty palms on my jeans.<br /> </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“A pen?” he asked.</span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Rising-star blogger Milla Kierce knows she's arrived when she sees the swag basket in her dressing room on the night of her late-night television debut. But before she can bite into the muffin that symbolizes her success, gunfire echoes through the TV studio. She's just hidden herself (mostly in plain sight) when the door flings open. Instead of a gunman, there stands one of the world's most popular rock stars, Gage Daxson, looking for his own way out of danger.<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">Thrown together, they'll battle a venomous man seeking revenge and his own sexual pleasure, but they may never leave the building again. Distracted by fear, fame, and infamy, can these two somehow find their way to each other?</span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>Equal parts horrifying and hilarious, Debra Anastasia's Late Night With Andres offers more than a few twists and turns—and, of course, enough heat to keep things interesting.</blockquote>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Milla woke up topless and bloody. The pain in her foot was crazy. It felt like her baby toe was being held in a fire. She gathered her boobs. Gage Daxson was holding pressure on her foot with her dress. Too much pressure</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"Stop squeezing! You're going to pinch my toe off!" She tried to pull her foot away, but he wouldn't let her. Instead he pulled off his T-shirt with his free hand and handed it to her. She slipped it on as she noted all the blood again. <i>I will not faint. I will not faint.</i> She looked up and the Devil's Fart was shaking his balls near her face like a set of droopy maracas.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"I won the bomb! I'm going to blow everybody up! And the best part?" He squatted and everyone in the room groaned.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Milla looked up and found herself eye to eye with the maniac.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"You're going to die." He cackled</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Milla felt lightheaded. Between the slap, the concussion, and now Gage squeezing her bloody foot, she was pissed and maybe a little delusional.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"Well do it quick because I'd rather die from a bomb than the stench coming from your nuts." Milla rolled her eyes and slapped at Gage's hands. "Stop. It hurts."</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"Uh, don't look. Can you do that for me? Don't look at your foot" Gage bit his lip and glanced back at the huge new guy.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"Hey girl. I'm Sydney." He had a deep, pleasant voice. "You should probably listen to my boy."</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"I'm MIlla. And I'm not listening to anyone right now." She pulled Gage's hands away and screamed. "Where's my baby toe? OH MY GOD! He blew my toe off!" Milla tried looking for the missing digit, feeling around with her hands. Her foot throbbed.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"Sweetheart, you can't. It's not...There's nothing to find." Gage risked getting close to her injured foot. "I need to put pressure on it. I don't want you to bleed out."</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"I loved my toe!" Milla's eyes filled with tears. "I love flip flops. Can you even wear a flip flop with no baby toe?"</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">She cried softly in her hands. The Devil's Fart was close to her again. She smelled him first, then heard him.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"I think flip flops are low class."</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Milla snapped. She whipped her head in Fart's direction and punched him right in his horrible face. Once, twice and then a third time. She tried to punch him until he died, but Gage stopped her.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"Don't. He's got a bomb, remember?" Gage pulled her to his bare chest, which honestly, was a little pale, but his sweet abs made up for the lack of tan.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">The Devil's Fart started screaming through his nose. He sounded like a human sized tea kettle. like Mrs. Potss on her period.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">"Yeah, I remembered the bomb. I just hate him a lot." Milla looked up from Gage Daxson's arms.</span></span></center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">As Fart descended into madness, Gage gave her a crooked smile and offered, "I think I like you."</span></span></center>

My Review:</center>
</h3>
<center style="text-align: start;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
So what did I think? first of all, you can immediately tell who wrote this. Debra Anastasia always has a unique writing style and comedy. I love it. No one else writes like her and I admire her for being so unique and different with her writing. She is a fantastic storyteller.</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
Even though this was a short novella, this thing sure packed a punch. So much happened in such a short period of time, I was caught up in a whirlwind of action. </center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
From the very beginning, it was pretty explosive and it didn't stop til the very end. I thought it was a great read and kept me very entertained.</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
Milla was awesome to say the least. I wanted to fist pump a few times for her. She was extraordinary. </center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
Gage was great as well. I loved his character and how strong he became. </center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
Andres....well...he's a douchebag and I didn't like him at all. When you read this, you'll understand.</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
As always, Anastasia has a bunch of characters and she shows almost every point of view. It's always such a great way of reading because everything is so intertwined and it's almost like watching a movie really. </center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
I enjoyed every minute that I was reading and only wish it could've been longer so I could keep reading.</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">
I recommend this book to anyone who wants a short, explosive read with some romance and humor thrown in there.</center>
<center style="text-align: start;">

<div style="line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Debra Anastasia grew up in New York and got a bachelor's degree in political science at SUNY New Paltz. At the start of her marriage, she moved to southern Maryland with her husband. She still doesn't trust crabs and all their legs, though everyone else in her family thinks they're delicious. Her favorite hobbies include knitting, painting furniture and wall murals, and slapping clowns.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Her writing started a decent handful of years ago when along with the dogs, cat, kids, and husband, the voices of characters started whispering stories in Debra's ear. Insomnia was the gateway for the plots that wouldn't give up, wouldn't let go. In the shower, a twist would take hold and--dripping and frenzied--she'd find somewhere, anywhere to write it down.</div>

<b>What did I think?</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I haven't read the first book in this series but I am really interested in grabbing it to catch up.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
So I kind of read this as a stand alone novel which it really could be. I thought this book was really cute with some hotness in between.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I thought Gage was sexy as hell and wanted to jump hjs bones myself at times. LOL He also hid a very sweet side that no one really gets to see. He was a really good character that you could instantly like.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Marina was pretty awesome herself. I thought she was a strong, independant woman who know what she wants. I liked how she wanted to make things happen and be something. She has dreams that she was willing to reach for. I admired her for that.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>

Gage & Marina's chemestry jumped off the pages and was painfully evident. I loved that they brought out the worst in each other as well as the best. They couldn't seem to say the right things around each other which I thought was pretty funny. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Overall, this was a really easy, hot read with just the right amount of lust and romance. I would recommend this to my friends and read this over. I loved the characters and the way they connect with each other.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Although I wanted to smack the crap out of Marina's mom, I thought the book was overall really good. I wouldn't mind reading this again. I can't wait to read Archer's book and I'm hoping that she has the third coming out soon.</center>

Monica Murphy really has a great talent with storytelling that keeps you trapped in the book. She knows how to write the right sex scenes and make them hot but not trashy. Murphy is one of my favorite authors and one that I will be watching for a long time. </center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
No one writes like Monica Murphy. She knows how to combine the right amount of sex, romance, comedy and heart. Thoroughly enjoyed this read.</center>

Excerpt:</h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
John threw another pile of clothes and fast food
wrappers aside before he took my drink and put it on the night stand and then
crouched down in front of me. “Sorry for yelling at you. I just thought you
might want to sit somewhere more...comfortable.” His fingers ran down the
length of my arm until he interlocked them with mine.<br />
I moved my free hand up to his hat, turning the
brim around to the back and locking my eyes with his. “No need to apologize.”
The alcohol in my system was making me braver and my libido was turning into
full overdrive.<br />
He dipped his head down, leaning in closer until I
felt the stubble of his chin on my cheek. “A guy should always apologize, even
if he’s done nothing wrong. But I’ve done a lot wron<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1283139050650921833" name="_GoBack"></a>g. I
shouldn’t have ignored you. I didn’t want this to be a one time thing because
you’re too damn hard to stay away from.”<br />
I giggled. Short Stack really made the drink
strong. My nervousness already felt like it was melting away. “So are you. Hard
to ignore I mean.”<br />
“I’m glad you feel that way.” His breath tickled
my jaw line before he ran his tongue along it. “But I’m sorry about your back.”<br />
“What about my back?” I murmured, lost in the
trance of where his tongue was going to go next.<br />
He shoved my back against the mattress, pulling my
arms above my head before he crawled on top of me, straddling my hips. “I’m
sorry that it might be sore in the morning.”<br />
John leaned over, crushing his lips against mine,
not in an apology, but with an urgent fervor. His grip stayed on my wrists,
keeping them above my head while his tongue teased mine. I closed my eyes and a
soft moan escaped my lips. I wriggled my wrists, wanting to move them along the
curves of his body pressed against me.<br />
He moved his lips to my ear, whispering, “I’m
sorry, Red, you’re not going to move those hands. Let John Boy do the work.”<br />
His mouth trailed down my jawline, leaving feather
light kisses in its wake, until his lips where at my neck. His tongue flicked
against my skin, sending a shiver below my belly button. I bucked my hips up to
meet his and could feel the bulge forming underneath his jeans. No more awkward
moments this time. He wanted me just as bad as I wanted him.</blockquote>

My Review:</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<strong>What did I think?</strong></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Three words: O.M.G.<---yes that's three ;-)</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
For just a second, look at that cover. I mean.....really look at it. How freaking creepy is that?! When I picked this up, I had no idea what I was getting into. The cover seriously freaked me out. I mean....whoa *shivers*...</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
This book picks up right where <em>Dead Sky Morning </em>leaves off. This time the suspense and tension are a lot higher in this book.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Perry and Dex go inspect a haunted mental institution. How creepy is that?! Not only does Perry have to be in close proximity with her love interest Dex, but she also has to put up with his hot, overtly sweet girlfriend Jenn.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Talk about awkward right? You have no idea....</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
I think one of the best parts of this book is watching Perry grow up and get some real confidence. I know Dex has a lot to do with that but it's great that it's not just Dex. It's really herself.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
One of the other best parts is Dex tells Perry more about his past. Dex is so complicated. Argh! But I love him so! He still holds the title to one of my most favorite characters. You love him, yet you want to punch him right in the face. ;-) Which makes him all the more special to me. So complicated... *swoons*</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
We get introduced to a couple new characters in this book. One of whom I fell completely in love with. Rebecca. Oh man she is just so awesome. Oh just a breath of fresh air that Perry needs.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Things get real in this. I mean <em>really </em>real. In every way. For the last half hour that I was reading this, my eyes must have been bugging out and my mouth in a constant shock formation. I stayed up until 3 am finishing this.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
And oooooohhhhh the ending. Left me with soooooo many unanswered questions. Everything was left in the open and I'm so anxious to get to the next book.</div>

I really did enjoy this series thoroughly. Not only do I think the author is brilliant but she is wicked cool. I've gotten to talk to her on Twitter and she has to be one of <em>the</em> coolest chicks out there.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Whenever I read a book, I always talk about it to my fiancee. I love how he indulges me and acts interested...Even though I know he'd rather be playing video games. What really Robby's (my fiancee) attention is when I mentioned the bands that Perry talks about in the books. <em>Slayer, Mr. Bungle, Peeping Tom...</em> those are ALL bands that Robby and I listen to. It surprised Robby that a chick listens to these bands because they're pretty underground.</div>

I asked Karina about it and she's was a music journalist and got to meet Mike Patton and has met Dave Lombardo a couple of times. It's actually really cool. Robby was also impressed. ;-)</div>

It was really cool that she talked to me. LOL I know that sounds lame but it always means a lot to me when an author (one of my favs) actually acknowledges me. You know? It's awesome. So I want to say a special thank you to Karina. You are one wicked cool chick!!</div>

<h3>
<br />Excerpt:</h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I closed the door behind me with nothing more than a gentle click
and started walking down the hall back the way I came.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">A loud POP came from behind me while the hall in front of me
became a smidge darker. The loud and unexpected noise caught my breath and made
me jump mid-stride. I stopped and stood still.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Another quick POP followed by another level of dimness. I turned
around expecting to see someone but what I saw was the overhead lights at the
very end slowly going off.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Pop. Pop. Pop. They were fizzling out and leaving the once-bright
hallway in darkness, as if some invisible being was going along and removing
the bulbs. I knew enough that the scenario wasn’t all that crazy.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The dark was catching up with me. I turned and started to run as
quietly as possible, chalking it all up to faulty wiring on a stormy night. But
as I neared the stairwell at the end, the stairwell lights went off and so did
every other light in the hallway.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The darkness engulfed me. I paused, disoriented and scared out of
my wits.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Thump, thump, thump.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The sound of footsteps raced toward me from the far end of the
hallway. They didn’t sound quick but they were coming.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">For me.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I ran blindly for the door and felt around for it until my hands
connected with the handle. I yanked it. It wouldn’t open. The door had locked
behind me. There was blackness outside and in. I whirled around, hearing the
footsteps still coming, this strange, slow and sloppy run.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">They stopped somewhere in front of me, maybe a few inches away. I
held my breath. All I could feel was that terrifying notion that something was
standing in the dark and watching me. Wanting me.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">“Please let me die.” The voice from earlier came from down the
hall.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">“Yes, please let me die,” another voice came, this one closer to
me and from the left.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">“He let me die,” said one more. This one sounded familiar. This
one wasn’t a human being, a patient in a room with no hope or normal life left.
This one had an accent. This one was dead. It was coming from right in front of
me.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I slowly stuck my arm straight out in front of me. I wanted to see
how close it was. I waved it around but hit nothing.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Raucous laughter erupted from the rooms. It caught on like a wave,
crashing down the hall until it was all I could hear. Insane, unforgiving,
unrelenting laughter, the type that you’d hear being howled at the moon. It
reverberated through the hallway until it forced me to cover my ears.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I thought about calling Dex. He could come down and let me out. I
could tell him I went to look for the bathroom on this floor. I took one hand
away from my ear and took out my phone, conscious of not crushing the
vulnerable, secret meds in my pocket.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">BANG!</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The lights above me suddenly came on with the sound of snapping
wires and the low hum of a generator kicking in. The area just in front of me
was illuminated, hurting my eyes. I could see again.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">And there was nothing there.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The same went for the rest of the hallway. As each light went back
on, it showed how empty the place was. And the laughter stopped along with it.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Until the end.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The last light went on.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">There was a woman standing beneath the waxy light bulb. In the
middle of the hall. Facing me. She was far enough away that I couldn’t make out
her face. But I knew from the snakelike angle of her head that I didn’t want
to.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">She stood as still as night, not moving. Just facing me like a
gunslinger during a standoff.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This…wasn’t good.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I slowly lifted up my hand that had the phone and dialed Dex while
keeping my eyes on her.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">She still hadn’t moved. But I knew it was misleading.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">I put the phone to my ear and after a few rings (I could almost
hear it ringing on the floor above) he answered.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">“Perry? You OK?”</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">“I’m locked on the second floor,” I whispered. “Please come and let
me out right now.”</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">“OK, one sec,” he said. I heard him hang up, a few footsteps from
above and then the sound of the third-level door opening onto the stairwell. I
breathed a sigh of relief, not taking my eyes off the figure at the end.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Which was good. Because she twitched. And now, she was moving,
walking toward me, twice as fast as a normal person, almost gliding down the
hall as if she were on skates.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Her arms were outstretched, her head wobbled back and forth with
each quick stride, and a thick flow of blood flowed off of her, falling to the
floor behind her like a red bridal train.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">It happened so fast.</span><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">She was there.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">And then she was in my face.</span> </blockquote>

characters she writes, Karina never knew where to find herself and has dabbled
in acting, make-up artistry, film production, screenwriting, photography,
travel writing and music journalism. She eventually found herself in the pages
of the very novels she wrote (if only she had looked there to begin with).<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<b>ABOUT SHAKEN NOT STIRRED (Mixology Series, Book 1):</b></div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Finding the perfect guy is like mixing the perfect drink. It's all about the taste and presentation.
Maddy's gone off the deep end, at least that's what her family thinks when she handles her med school rejections by moving to the Outer Banks. It doesn't help that she's paying her bills by bartending and is sharing walls with two guys, even if one of them is her childhood best friend.
Her choice of men seems more balanced on the surface—Colin is driven, sexy, and gainfully employed, but she can't help spending her Thursday nights searching for the perfect drink for Lyle, whose music captivates her with its haunting lyrics. Maddy believes everyone has a perfect drink—and finding Lyle's isn't a challenge she's willing to lose.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Owning a strip club isn’t the fantasy most guys expect it to be. With long hours, a staff with enough issues to keep a psych ward in business, and the police regularly on his case, twenty-nine year old Cain is starting to second guess his unspoken mission to save the women he employs. And then blond, brown-eyed Charlie Rourke walks through his door, and things get really complicated. Cain abides by a strict “no sleeping with the staff” rule. But being around Charlie challenges Cain’s self-control…and it’s been a long time since any woman has done that.<br />
Twenty-two-year old Charlie Rourke needs a lot of money, really fast, in order to vanish before it’s too late. Taking her clothes off for men makes her stomach curl but Charlie tells herself that at least she’s putting her acting and dancing skills to good use. And though her fellow dancers seem eager to nab their sexy, sophisticated, and genuinely caring boss, she’s not interested. After all, Charlie Rourke doesn’t really exist—and the girl pretending to be her doesn’t need to complicate her life with romance.<br />
Unfortunately, Charlie soon discovers that developing feelings for Cain is inevitable, that those feelings may not be unrequited—but losing him when he finds out what she’s involved with will be more painful than any other sentence awaiting her.</blockquote>

<span style="color: black; font-family: arial, sans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I used to believe in love. I used to believe that two people and one lifetime equaled happily-ever-after. I used to believe that the strong arms that once held me tight would always protect, never leave, never give up on us.<br />Maybe he didn’t give up on us. Maybe I did.<br />At the end of the day, maybe we both did.<br />And yet, here I am in his penthouse again, devoid of clothes, low on dignity, loaded with whiskey.<br />“Let me into your heart, Laney,” he pleads with those deep navy eyes as we stand just shy of his bed. “Let me crush every memory you have of the two of us and make something new, something better, something that never disappoints because it doesn’t know how.” He dots a series of hot kisses slowly up my neck, and I groan.<br />My skin touches his, and then it’s over. I’m all in. Every last inch of me has been so thirsty for Ryder, and now, here I am, ready to drown in the cool spring of his affection while my entire body reanimates under his willful supervision. A part of me died last winter in a very real way, and, here he is, reawakening me, breathing life back into my soul by way of his mouth, his fingers—his bare flesh.<br />He pulls back and rakes over me with his slow gaze.<br />“Get in my bed,” he growls it out, sharp like an order.<br />“If you want me in your bed you’ll have to damn well put me there yourself.”<br />Ryder gives the ghost of a smile.<br />And he does. </span></div>

Severe Storm Warning Tip #1:<br />
Be alert to changing weather conditions. Look for approaching storms.<br />
<br />
Severe Storm Warning Tip #2:<br />
If you see approaching storms or any of the danger signs, be prepared to take
shelter immediately.<br />

Severe Storm Warning Tip #3:<br />
They may strike quickly, with little or no warning.<br />
<br />
Situated just outside of Oklahoma City, Calumet County is divided into two
drastically different communities: Hope’s Grove and Summit Bluffs. One is the
small backward town where dirt roads lead the way to field parties and railroad
tracks. And the other, a sprawling suburb where paved drives lead to the
landscaped lawns of the wealthy and privileged.<br />
<br />
For five teenagers smack in the middle of Tornado Alley, summer is heating up
fast. The winds of change are blurring the invisible line that divides the rich
and the rural.<br />
<br />
One has a secret.<br />
One has a crush.<br />
One has been lying.<br />
One will get caught.<br />
And one might not make it out alive.<br />
<br />
They’re from two different worlds…but one summer is about to change everything.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Whether you believe in
destiny, divine intervention, or just plain ol' dumb luck, several
things happened in 2013 that caused E. Lee and C. Quinn's
paths to cross. It may have been that the stars aligned perfectly,
or the fact anytime Luke Bryan was mentioned on a social media site both
of them were tagged, or maybe it was just that their small town roots and
country girl attitudes were magnetically drawn together—calling out to one
another, “Y'all should write a book!” Despite geography keeping them apart—Lee
in Illinois and Quinn in Alabama—they did. Thanks to three-hour phone calls,
ridiculous amounts of online chats, and umpteen Google Docs—Storm Warning is

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Photographer Sierra Stratton views the world through a lens all her own. She has an uncanny sense about people, something that often causes her trouble. When she meets the sexy and brooding Evan Dorsey, her intuition tells her he’s suffering, and she wants to be the one to help him.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Evan isn’t open to help from anyone, however. His focus is on his Major League career and making himself as marketable as possible for his upcoming free agency. He plans to ride out the season in Atlanta and then sign with another team, away from the painful memories that haunt him.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">Someone’s eager to send him on his way, too. Between anonymous threats and equipment sabotage, it’s clear he’s earned himself an enemy along the way. To him, it’s one more sign that he’s right to move on.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">But Sierra threatens his conviction. Her contagious smile proves hard to resist, as does her kiss. She tempts him in ways he never anticipated, making him question his plans for the first time. If he’s not careful, she might just convince him that he’s meant for her.</span></blockquote>

<b>Why did I pick this?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First of all, I just have to say that I didn't actually pick this. Raine actually picked me! I read her other book <i>For Everly</i> and reviewed it <a href="http://hackaroosreviews.blogspot.com/2013/09/review-for-everly-by-raine-thoms.html">HERE</a>. I thought that book was adorable so Raine offered me to be on this fabulous blog tour. Of course I accepted. I love Raine and I love this series. So, in a way, the book chose me for once. ;-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What did I think?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Adorable. Warm. Lovely. Heart-touching. I thought that this book was a very sweet and heart warming book. Raine has a wonderful way with words and this book was really cute.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll start off with the characters...like I always do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You first really get introduced to Evan. At first, you feel his horrible pain. You're not sure what his pain is caused from because he locks it up so deep but you know he has a big portion of it. That comes out across the page right away. As for looks, yeah....he's a hottie. Plus he's an Aussie?! Hel-lo...who <i>doesn't</i> like an Australian accent? C'mon... lol. Overall...he really is a deep character and I liked seeing him become a better person throughout the book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, for Sierra, I liked how she was wise beyond her years. She sees things normal people don't really catch. Instead of seeing the outside when she first meets people, she sees the deeper side. I truly liked that about her. I will say that I did agree with her friends....she's too nice. I did want to shake her and say, "Stand up for yourself!!" But I did understand where she was coming from. She was such a sweet and caring character.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The overall story was very warm. I really enjoyed reading it. It was easy and flowed very nicely. My heart broke for Evan though. Time and time again. I loved him so much though. I liked that Cole and Everly made an appearance too. So very cute.</div>
