Blog Tour & Giveaway: Finding Us [Bad Boy 03] by S.K. Hartley!

Publication date: 18th June 2014
Paperback edition: -

Source: Kindle
Rating: 4 stars
Synopsis: I'm loud, I'm proud, and I like to bust balls in my spare time.
At least, that's what Low Parker would do. But she is just a mask, one I have perfected over years of running.

I am Willow Knoxx. Master of deception, secrets, and lies.

I am the girl your mother told you to stay away from, and the girl your father fantasized about. I have been running for years, always looking over my shoulder.

Now, the mask I have perfected is about to disappear, and everything I have done to keep myself hidden is about to be revealed.

I completely love this series and I was so excited to read this book! I was even more excited when I found out that it was going to be Tate and Low's story! The two of these characters were secondary characters in the first two books, but this book was their book! I have to admit that this book is my least favourite of the series so far! There was just something about it that made me like it, but not love, love it! The plot had a mafia aspect to it and I didn't see this coming at all! The plot was all a bit bizarre to me because of this aspect lol! I did enjoy it, but I didn't expect the mafia aspect at all, so I was thrown off a bit! The plot had some suspense and action in it though and it developed really nicely! There was also a pretty big action scene at the end, which could ultimately have changed the outcome of the book completely! The characters were amazing! Low was the main character and she was in such a difficult situation in this book! She came from a tough background and she had to do some horrific things! Low was such an amazing character though and she only wanted to do good in her life because of what she had been made to do in her childhood! I really admired this about her because it showed what kind of person she was and that she was completely different from her father! I loved Low and I did feel sorry for her because of how she was brought up! She was raised to be a fighter, but in the wrong way! I loved how Low turned out though! Tate was the love interest of Low and he wasn't really in this book as much as I would have liked! I mean, it was mostly Low's story, but he did do something in this book that made me absolutely love him! It showed how much he loved Low and that he would literally give his life to save her! Tate was a hottie too and I loved how much he adored Low and I could see that he had some deep feelings for her! I would have loved this book to have been written more from both Low and Tate's point of views, because it was only really written from Low's! Most of the book was written from Low's point of view, but I loved the added Tate chapters from his point of view! I also loved that Neva and Logan from the first two books made appearances in this book too! I'm really excited to read the next book in this series! I can't wait to read this particular character's story, because he played such a big part in the first two books! The cover for this book is absolutely stunning! It also suits the book so well! I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it and I love how well it suits the other covers in the series! Big thank you to S.K. Hartley for an ARC of Finding Us and to Enticing Journey Book Promotions for having me on the Blog Tour!

Blog Tour: Stone of Destiny [The Danaan Trilogy 02] by Laura Howard!

Publication date: 15th April 2014
Paperback edition: -

Source: Kindle

Rating: 4.5 stars

Synopsis: Allison thought it was crazy enough when she found out her father, Liam, wasn't entirely human. But now she has to join his magical allies to unravel his former mistress's plans. Aoife wants to keep Allison's parents apart forever.

Despite Allison's efforts to keep Ethan, the only guy she's ever cared about, out of this supernatural mess, fate keeps throwing him back into the mix.

Will Allison be able to find the amulet that holds the enchantment Aoife placed on Liam and destroy it? Are Ethan's feelings for Allison strong enough to endure the magic of the Tuatha De Danaan?

Woah! I can't believe that it's been a few days shy of a year since I read the first book in this trilogy! The weird thing? I still remember what happened in it! I will admit that I did go back and re-read the last chapter of the first book to familiarize myself with it again, but the author does an amazing job at reminding you of everything that happened in the first book in this book, which is something I loved! The plot of this book continued straight on from where the first book stopped! It was all about the characters continuing their journey and about the main character learning more about the world she had been hidden from! I do have to say that there were still a lot of questions at the end of this book! None from the first book were really answered either! There's still one more book to come though, so I'm hoping all my questions will be answered! I did love the plot though and I also loved that there was some action in it too! The characters were again amazing and were developed so well! Allison was again the main character and in this book she knew what she was and she had started to learn how to use what she was to the best of her ability! I just loved Allison in this book! She was strong and she was determined to protect the people she cared about! She still had the same personality from the first book, but she was like a different person because she grew a lot! I loved everything about her in this book and I can't wait to see how she's going to develop in the next book! There was the glimmer of a love triangle in the first book and it sort of felt like it was still there at the beginning of this book, but then it sort of disappeared as Allison's relationship with one of the guys started to develop more! Just like the first book, the love triangle was between Allison, Ethan and Aodhan! I would have loved to have the love triangle be a major part of the plot, but I did love that Allison didn't play the guys against each other! Ethan was the main love interest of Allison and I did love him! I had such a soft spot for Aodhan though, but he wasn't in this book a lot! There were quite a few secondary characters in this book too! Some of them were from the first book, but there were a few new characters introduced too! All these characters added so much to the plot and I hope they make appearances in the next book! I'm so excited to read the last book in this trilogy! I can't wait to see how it's all going to end and what's going to happen! The ending of this book was a bit sudden though, which I wasn't expecting! It was almost like it ended mid-way through a conversation! The cover for this book is stunning! Absolutely stunning! I love how well it suits the first book's cover too!

Book Blitz & Giveaway: One, Two, Three… by Elodie Nowodazkij!

When seventeen-year-old Natalya’s dreams of being a ballerina are killed in a car accident along with her father, she must choose: shut down—like her mother—or open up to love.

Last year,seventeen-year-old Natalya Pushkaya was attending the School of Performing Arts in New York City. Last year, she was well on her way to becoming a professional ballerina. Last year, her father was still alive.

But a car crash changed all that—and Natalya can’t stop blaming herself. Now, she goes to a regular high school in New Jersey; lives with her onetime prima ballerina, now alcoholic mother; and has no hope of a dance career.

At her new school, however, sexy soccer player Antonio sees a brighter future for Natalya, or at least a more pleasant present. Keeping him an arabesque away proves to be a challenge for Natalya and his patient charms eventually draw her out of her shell.

When upsetting secrets come to light and Tonio’s own problems draw her in, Natalya shuts down again, this time turning to alcohol herself.

Can Natalya learn to trust Antonio before she loses him—and destroys herself?

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Escaping Heartbreak [Unbroken 01] by Regina Bartley!

Publication date: 27th June 2014
Paperback edition: -
Source: Kindle
Rating: 5 stars
Synopsis: It’s time for Sawyer to start living her life. Since she was fifteen she has taken care of everyone but herself, including her older brother Dane. She has been lying to herself to keep from feeling the pain of her parent’s death. Now she is twenty and she’s ready to start a life of her own. Moving into her parent’s lake house would be the perfect escape. Wouldn’t it? That’s what she thought. Only, it led her right into the emotional place she’s been hiding from all this time. All of those years of running from her feelings, she now has to face them. It’s too much. She can’t deal with it alone. Someone has to help. She’ll do anything to escape the heartbreak, but you can only run so far.

Travis can’t believe his eyes; his half-opened, blood shot eyes. Sawyer Evans was in the flesh and standing over him. He hadn’t seen this girl since he was ten years old. Travis only saw the Evan’s during the summer when they moved into the lake house. He and Dane were best friends. When Dane invited him and the old gang to a welcome back party at the Lake House, he couldn’t wait to go. It turns out getting wasted was only half the fun. Seeing Sawyer was the other half. She was the sexiest girl he’d ever seen and he was going to make sure that she knew it. Only she shot him down time and time again. He’s determined to break down those walls and get inside her head, but he’ll have to be sober to do it, and no matter how hard he tries, she’ll always run. He can’t keep chasing her. He has to figure out a way to make her stay.

It’s time to stop running, stop hiding, and start learning where the true escape lies. Everyone will face heartbreak, but not everyone will find love.

I freaking loved this book! It was such a cute book with a dark background! I was really excited about reading it before I got my ARC because I'd spoken to someone who beta read it and they said it was amazing, so my excitement was upped lol! The cover and synopsis also made me desperate for the book too because the cover is stunning and the synopsis sounded like the kind of book I'd read! The plot of this book was so cute and light, but quite dark at the same time! I absolutely loved it! I loved its development and I always found myself reading a few more chapters every chance I got! It was so cute as well with the developing romance in the plot too! There were also a few twist and turns in the plot to keep it going and to keep me desperate to read on and find out what was going to happen next! I just overall loved everything about the plot! The characters were just as amazing as the plot! Sawyer was the main character and she was just amazing! She had been through a lot, and because of this she'd been through a lot of changes in her life in such a short time! My heart went out to her when I found out her story because she felt disconnected from the people around her and I could see that it really affected her! Sawyer really started to learn how to cope with her loss as this book developed and it was really all down to one familiar face! I just overall loved Sawyer and I could understand why she reacted the way she did in some situations in this book! She grew a lot as a character in this book too, which I loved! Travis was the love interest of Sawyer and he was so hot! I just loved everything about him! I loved how protective he was of Sawyer and I loved that he was there for her the whole way through this book! I also adored Travis' relationship with his brother, Waylon! He was the main carer of his brother and I could see that he would do absolutely anything for him! I really admired this about Travis! I also adored his personality and that he was fiercely protective of the people he cared about! I really enjoyed this book being written from both Sawyer and Travis' point of views! I was kinda expecting it to be after I read the synopsis, but I'm really happy it was! It really helped me connect with both characters more and I loved getting to go inside both of their heads! I thought that this book was a standalone when I was reading it and when I finished it, but there's no way it can be after the ending! I'm super happy to discover that this book is actually the first book in a series! I can't wait to read the next book! I'm really excited to read it and find out what's going to happen next! The cover for this book is absolutely stunning! I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it! The model on the front really suits the character of Sawyer too! Big thank you to Regina for an ARC of Escaping Heartbreak and to Enticing Journey Book Promotions for having me on the Blog Tour!
