"Underfoot" by Leanne Banks

My Book Summary : Trina never expected her day to go from being a guest at a disaster of a wedding to sleeping with the now non-groom that very night! She new both of the people getting married the bride was the great-granddaughter of her boss at Bellagio, Inc. and the groom was a marketing person she dealt with on occasion at her office and they were kinda friends (but mostly just respectful acquaintances). However, after the bride leaving the groom at the alter Trina notices Walker, the groom, at a bar not far from her apartment. They get to chatting, one thing leads to another and she offers to have him spend the night at her place (on her couch that is) but after they chat a little more things spark between them and the two end up in an night full of passion.

Trina never expected anything to come out of that night, so when she finds out that Walker is moving to France for his company, right after she finds out that she's pregnant she is really relived. Especially since, she knows that Walker wants NOTHING to do with being a father.

A little over a year later, Trina's plans take a nosedive when she finds out that not only Walker is back in town, he also plans to work with Bellagio, Inc. again. Now there is no way to avoid Walker and she is very afraid that her secret will come out. What will she do? And if her secret does come out ... how will Walker react?

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars!! The chemistry between Walker & Trina is palpable, I just couldn't get enough of this pair!! =0)

Book Teaser(s) :

Sad Fact: It's not unusual for a woman's feet to grow a half to a full size during pregnancy. Often enough, her feet will remain a larger size. Best consolation: a new wardrobe of shoes in the proper size. ~ within Chapter 8

Jenny raised her eyebrows. "Walker? I always wondered if the two of you would hook up if he and Brooke weren't together."
Trina felt her cheeks heat and frowned at the sensation, lifting her martini glass to take a sip. "No chance. I'm not his type. He's not mine."
"Why not? You're pretty and intelligent."
"I'm not a high-profile heiress," Trina said.
"You really think that's what he wants after his experience with Brooke?" Jenny asked doubtfully.
Trina shrugged. "I don't know. He's not my type, either. Doesn't want kids." ~ within Chapter 11

Made the Grade: Faeriewalker Series, Book 1

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 407 KB | Release Date: June 2010 | Publisher: St. Martin's Press

"Glimmerglass" [Faeriewalker Series, Book 1] by Jenna Black

My Book Summary : Dana grew up knowing that she was different. Different in a way that made her pack up and leave every time she seemed to be fitting into her new home/school. Basically her mother was scared that Dana's father would find out about her and find a way to steal her from where they were and take her back to his home in Avalon (a location in the United Kingdom that has the ability for humans and fairies to co-exist).

You see, Dana's mother grew up in Avalon even though she is a human but around the time she got pregnant she had a relationship with a fairy, so Dana is half-human and half-fairy. But for all of Dana's curiosity about her father she has mixed views about him from her mother. As when her mother is sober (or relatively so) she tells Dana about what a scary and mean man he is, and when her mother is drunk she tells Dana about how nice he is or was to her. However, for as long as Dana can remember her mother is usually on the drunk side of things, meaning she has to take care of things and she's more of the adult between the two of them. So, after putting up with her mother for so long she has decided that she should contact her father, let him know she exists, and hope that he will take care of her so she can be as much of a "kid" as she can now that she's sixteen yrs old.

However, as soon as she shows up in Avalon things have been going from bad to worse. To top off everything she finds out that she is a Faeriewalker, a rare person who has the ability of traveling between two worlds, and because of this ability there are a lot of people who are out to get her .... either to kill her or to find a way so she can be controlled by them.

Will her life ever be "normal" again?

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, it was not what I was expecting. However, the story did pull me in and there were plenty of twists and turns along the way!! I hope that things turn into something more between Dana and her fighting instructor, since as they say opposites attract! =0) But I'm more curious then anything to see if she can find out the new qualities she has in being a Faeriewalker and how she'll be able to weld them.

Book Teaser(s) :

He actually flinched, and I almost felt bad about it. Almost.
"Understood," he said. "But I presume you'll accept my help getting out of here even so."
"And go where?"
"Wherever you want."
I chewed that one over for a bit. I sure as hell didn't want to go back to that nasty little room in the tunnels, but I didn't want to find myself stuck with Aunt Grace, either. Not until I'd had time to consider my options, at least. I had no money or ID, so I still needed help, even though at this point I'd have preferred not to have to depend on anyone. ~ within Chapter 13

"Unraveled" [Intertwined Series, Book 2] by Gena Showalter

My Book Summary : Haden (Aden) and his friends have been through a lot already. However, after learning more about Aden & Mary Ann's shared past, meeting the girl of his dreams, and other things that have been happening to him lately ... Now Aden has to deal with becoming the possible Vampire King (while still being human), a curse that will kill his friends if he doesn't meet with the witches, and a bunch of people planning and willing to kill him. There is also the little thing about having 3 souls living inside of him and him wanting to help them as he did Mary Ann's mother. In addition, knowing that he is going to die shortly and knowing there is no way of stopping it.

During this time Mary Ann has some problems of her own ... she feels like she's to blame for her mother's death. She is falling for Riley, but she doesn't know if he likes her for her or because of how she makes him feel. Then to top everything off she finds out that her powers are worse then she could ever imagine and if anyone finds out what she really can do she'll have everyone after her hoping to eliminate her. Plus, the death curse doesn't help at all either.

Will these friends be able to stick together and fight what is to come? And will they all be able to defeat everything before Aden's death prediction comes to reality?

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars, not what I expected but it kept me wrapped all the way through. I'm really curious as to what book 3, "Twisted", will reveal especially with the change that happened to Aden at the very end of the novel. I hope everything works out for Mary Ann since I loved reading things from her POV, as she's my fave character in this series, but I am saddened by what her powers turned out to be and I really don't want anything bad to happen to her. Also, I really like Mary Ann & Riley together ... but I depending on the relationship seeing Aden & Mary Ann together might not be bad either. =0)

Book Teaser(s) :

On the way here, he'd punched a middle-aged man he'd never met, felt the guy's teeth cutting into his knuckles, and had laughed. Laughed. Because he'd liked inflicting pain.
I'm a monster.
The only time those kinds of urges left him was when he was with Mary Ann. ~ within Chapter 7

Dear God. Over her heart were two tiny swirling black and red tattoos his eyes could have traced forever.
Caleb fainted.
Elijah and Julian merely gasped.
"No. They're still there." Her voice was still layered. "Now, kiss me," she commanded, climbing over the console and sitting herself in his lap. ~ within Chapter 13

"Incredible Dreams" by Sandra Edwards

My Book Summary : Ever since her parents died when she was a little girl, Isabelle (Izzy), has been able to see dead people, talk to them and help them pass over. Over the years she has made a name for herself as being a ghost-whisperer, and recently she was asked to "exterminate" an old Air Force facility that is being bought, but the new owners want it without any ghosts. However, as soon as she sets foot into the abandoned hanger and meets the spirit, named Jack, she finds herself drawn to him more so then she could ever imagine ....

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars, this was a very cute novel!! I liked the relationship between Jack and Izzy! The writing was unique and entertaining. I, myself, wish that the ending happened in the here instead of the then but I do like how the author was able to wrap everything together.

Book Teaser(s) :

"Any idea what year it is?"
Her brow furrowed and her eyes darkened before settling back on the physician. "No."
"Not even a guess?"
"I have no idea."
"How about 1946? How does that sound?"
"Crazy." Her expression shifted from annoyance to doubt to fear. The exchange chased an apprehensive shiver down Jack’s backside. ~ within Chapter 6

She slowed her pace and Jack did the same. After a couple of steps, Izzy’s nerves eased a bit. "If Johnny and Sarah can do it, so can we." Determination swelled inside her. Izzy threw her shoulders back and walked a little taller.
"Pardon me?" With a curious squint Jack studied her face, obviously surprise by her statement.
"You know. The Dead Zone." She quickened her step a beat or two. "Johnny wakes up from a four-year coma and his fiancé—I think she was his fiancé—is married to another man."
Jack let out an exasperated sigh. "What?"
"Well, it’s not exactly like us, but...we can follow their lead and put our feelings aside, out of respect for the sanctity of marriage." While her words might sound convincing, Izzy knew they were a load of crap. ~ within Chapter 17

Book Teaser :

"It's okay to put a little pressure on the gas. You have my word you won't skid out of control if you pump it up to ten miles per hour."
"Very funny. Don't look, but I think we're being followed."
"What! By whom?" She immediately twisted in her seat, peering out the back window.
"I said don't look. Jeez!"
She turned, facing front and going stiff as a poker. "What should I do?" she asked, her voice shaking. With fear? Excitement?
"Just...I don't know." ~ within Chapter 13

"So Much Closer" by Susane Colasanti
Publication Released Date: May 3, 2011

Author's Book Description:

Follow your heart...no matter where it takes you.

Scott Abrams is the love of Brooke’s life. He just doesn’t know it yet. So when his family moves to New York City the summer before senior year, Brooke decides to take a chance and move in with her estranged father in NYC. This is her last chance to prove to Scott that they’re meant to be together.

But the city is full of surprises that Brooke never expected. Ever since a painful family trauma, she’s been closed off to her parents, to her friends, and even to herself. Now, inspired by the thrilling energy of the bustling and creative city around her, Brooke begins to discover a side of herself she never knew existed. And as she finds out, in the city that never sleeps, love can appear around any corner...

I usually love the books that this author writes about so I am excited to see what she has in-store next! However, I'm also curious as to what will happen between these two characters .... and I wonder how a girl supposedly in her senior year can just up and move? Hmmmm ... I think my curiosity will get the better of me until I'm able to read this book. =0)

"Wolf Tracks" [Granite Lake Wolves, Book 4] by Vivian Arend

My Book Summary : Things are finally going to look up for TJ, the Alpha's clumsy younger brother, during his friend's wedding just as long as he doesn't mess anything up.

Pam is attending her best friend's wedding as the maid of honor and has plans to let loose and enjoy her vacation/trip while she has the chance. She's the type of gal that has fun with guys but doesn't get into anything too serious. However, once she meets the best man, TJ, something inside her awakens and now whenever they are in the same location she can't seem to take her eyes off of him. Even though she doesn't typically go for younger guys, soon she finds the attraction is mutual and they seem not be able to get enough of each other.

TJ never expected to find his mate, let alone at his friend's wedding, and her being a HUMAN! So, when he finds that Pam is planning on attending one of his brother's outdoor group tours he takes advantage of the situation by "kidnapping" her to get alone time. And even though he's breaking tons of pack rules he just can't find the courage or worry to care. But will Pam agree? Or will she be able to accept TJ and his secrets?

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! I loved reading about TJ as a main character he is just so sweet! And seeing/reading about him trying to romance Pam .... I just couldn't get enough! =0)

Book Teaser(s) :

"I'm very thankful you've been so understanding about me...well..."
"The kidnapping? Forget it. I tried to get upset, but somewhere at about the fifteenth orgasm all my ability to be freaked out seemed to float away."
"You haven't come that many times."
She laughed softly. "Well, then, you'd better get busy, hadn't you?"
He moved closer, wrapped an arm behind her and let her lean against him. "Tonight. Right now, enjoy the view. I know I am."
"You're not even looking around." Pam flushed. The man never seemed to take his eyes off her. "You're staring again." ~ within Chapter 6
