About BEST LAID PLANS (Coming 3/1/2019):

That time I had the brilliant idea to ask my good friend for lessons in sex-ploration…

Awkward? Maybe. But how else is a good girl going to find out if she likes being naughty? I might be sweet as cherry pie, but I’m also bold and damn curious. And Gabe is charming, trustworthy, aces at seduction (or so I hear) and—bonus!— willing to give me lessons. But to guarantee it won’t ruin our friendship, I have some specific requirements for his instruction. I want these classes to be hypothetical more than hands-on. So what if he’s hella sexy? I can handle that, no problem.

***

I have it bad for Arden. She’s bright, brilliant, insanely fun, and I want to take her home and spend all night together—and then spend the day with her, too. When she asks for my help, I see my chance to win her sweet heart by showing her how much fun we can have getting spicy. Trouble is, she has a different idea of what “sex-ploration” should mean. Now I’m going to have to get really clever to win her over.

Good thing I know exactly how to upend her best laid plans.

REVIEW: Dating in the Dark by Alexandria Bishop


Title: Dating In The Dark
Author: Alexandra Bishop
Pub Date: March 19, 2018


Who says turning 30 has to be a bad thing?
Tinley Scott is in a rut. Or so her best friend and sister tell her. She can't fall in love sitting on her couch watching Friends and drinking a bottle of wine. Their answer?
Speed dating in the dark.
Dating in today's world is hard enough as it is. Why go adding a new challenge to the mix? By date number three, she's ready to throw in the towel and return to her safe haven.
Until her final date sets her panties ablaze. His deep voice, his practiced words...everything about him lights Tinley's fire.
Too quickly their 15-minute date is over and done with. Or so she thought. Their easy banter continues through a slew of text messages until the inevitable happens.
Meeting face to face.
Falling in love wasn't on Tinley's radar, but then she wasn't counting on mystery date number four.
Dating in the Dark is the first book in the enemies to lovers Dating Trilogy. If you love snarky heroines and panty melting heroes, then you'll love this sexy rom-com trilogy.

*********************************************************************************


I'm not going to lie, I was a little skeptical of this story. With a title of Dating in the Dark, I wasn't sure how it was going to go. But I was pleasantly surprised, and glad that I read it. I know they say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, and I was totally judging by its title...haha. I will say that I am sorry for doing that, because the story was fabulous!

I am always a fan of a haters to lovers, enemies to friends kind of romance. And this story did not disappoint. There were some great funny moments. One of my favorite parts was during the actually dating in the dark part. The main heroines inner monologue was fantastic, and the waiter was too funny.

And without getting too spoilery, the sexy moments were quite sexy! And there was some great banter between the two main characters. And that ending though...had me picking up the second book right after finishing book 1. Thank goodness that was available and didn't I have to wait because I would have gone nuts.

I definitely give this a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating!


I was given a free copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my review of this novel. Until next time!

Waiting on Wednesday (4)


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by, Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.

All Your Perfects
by: Colleen Hoover
Expected publication date: July 17, 2018
From Goodreads
Publisher: Atria Books
Pages: 320


See the source image

Quinn and Graham’s perfect love is threatened by their imperfect marriage. The memories, mistakes, and secrets that they have built up over the years are now tearing them apart. The one thing that could save them might also be the very thing that pushes their marriage beyond the point of repair.

All Your Perfects is a profound novel about a damaged couple whose potential future hinges on promises made in the past. This is a heartbreaking page-turner that asks: Can a resounding love with a perfect beginning survive a lifetime between two imperfect people?

***********************************************************************

I can not wait for this next novel! It's set to release on July 17, and I want to read it so bad I could cry! Lol. I'm a tad over dramatic I know..lol. But when it comes to an author that I love, I can't help myself. And y'all know how much I am obsessed with Colleen! I can't even handle that she's going to be at Apollycon next year. Lord Jesus Save Me...lol. I don't even know how I'm going to react. The first time I met her I think I was in shock and hardly said anything. This time will be better...yes!

I don't know about y'll but if this doesn't scream ALL THE FEELS, I dont know what does! If you haven't picked up a Colleen Hoover book, I guarantee this one will probably win you over. And if you have read Colleen Hoover, than you know what I'm talking about! Make sure to add this to your goodreads by clicking the box below.

REVIEW: The Raging Ones by Krista and Becca Ritchie

AHHHH!! *Fangirl Flails* I am so excited to share with you all this review today. It is by two of my favorite, and I mean FAVORITE authors. You've heard me mention Krista and Becca Ritchie more than once, and always with wonderful things to say. Well today is no exception. They have blown me away again with their newest YA series, that I can not wait for you to get your hands one. Now without further adieu, I give you The Raging Ones! Enjoy! 

*This eARC was given to me in exchange for an honest review*

************************************************************************************

Title: The Raging Ones
Author: Krista and Becca Ritchie
Pub Date: August 14, 2017
Pages: 352


In a freezing world, where everyone knows the day they will die, three teens break all odds.
Franny Bluecastle, a tough city teen, dreams of dying in opulence, to see wealth she’s never known. Like the entire world, she believes it’s impossible to dodge a deathday.
Until the day she does.

Court Icecastle knows wealth. He also knows pain. Spending five years in Vorkter Prison, a fortress of ice and suffering, he dreams of life beyond the people that haunt him and the world that imprisoned him.

Mykal Kickfall fights for those he loves. The rugged Hinterlander shares a frustrating yet unbreakable connection with Court—which only grows more lawless and chaotic as their senses and emotions connect with Franny.

With the threat of people learning they’ve dodged their deathdays, they must flee their planet to survive. But to do so, all three will have to hide their shared bond as they vie for a highly sought after spot in the newest mission to space. Against thousands of people far smarter, who’ll live longer, and never fear death the way that they do

*********************************************************************************

*********************************************************************************


So you all know that I am HUGE, and I mean HUGE fan of Krista and Becca Ritchie. So when I heard they were writing a YA Fantasy Adventure, I knew I just had to read it. Even if I don't read YA very often, I knew I wouldn't be dissapointed. They have a knack for story telling that is just amazing. I have not read anything of theirs that I did not love and enjoy.

From the moment that we meet Franny on the cold, frozen streets of Bartholo looking for her last paycheck on her death day to meeting Mykal and Court. I was hooked! Hooked, brought into this cold world and the lives of these 3 characters. I had so many questions, questions I can't get into without being to spoilery. But this story was like one I had  never read before. I was completely fascinated. The whole concept of everyone knowing their death day, and how that is even possible. But it is set in the future, so who knows what type of technology will be developed. and why did they live past thier death day, what makes them so special?!

I loved that it was written in multiple POV's. Getting into each characters head is always fun. Especially when each character is so vastly different. I found myself being drawn to Court, a young guy who seemed so haunted by his past. And with each POV of his a little more of him was shown and I couldn't help but want to know more. There was this tender yet harshness about him that made you want to just wrap your arms around him. Give him a big hug and tell him that everything is going to be ok. Then there was Mykal, the light hearted "muscle" of the group. Not afraid to show his emotions. Wearing them right on his sleeve ( reminded me a little of Ryke and the hot tempered triad from the Addicted and Calloway series.)  Living in the moment, and trying to add some life into the hardships that they were all facing. Not to mention his relationship with Court was perfection. Their chemistry jumped off the pages, and you could tell that their friendship and bond was stronger than just the connection they shared.

The were thrills, suspense, sadness, and even a bit of romance. Definitely not their usual romance, but for this story what romance that was had, was perfect. Wasn't too much or too little! It was written to be part of the story and not just written to be written.The world that they created was futuristic, yet modern at the same time. Those elements were neat to read. And the fact that everyone knows their death day just added a whole knew thrill to the story. As well as some elements of surprise that crept up from the past that had you sitting on the edge of your seat. I liked how things were revealed to you when they needed to be. It was like an old fashioned mystery mixed with contemporary/ YA romance. If that makes any sense...haha.

In the beginning of the story, and this not spoilerish at all. Frannie is coming up to her death day and she speaks of what she has planned. Makes you think, what would you do if you knew the day you were going to die?! Would you spend it in a luxurious hotel that you would never be able to afford, go on a crazy vacation, spend it with family and friends?


I truly loved this story and can not wait for the rest of the world to get their hands on it. It's a definite must read, and I've been a fan of these ladies for quite sometime. But these ladies have a fan and friend in me for life. They will remain an instant buy for me always! I give this 5 out of  5 stars!

Excerpt

"Whatever, just hand me what you have, and I'll try it all on." She reaches for the huge pile from Tara's hands. "Happy now?" "Yep. Now get your cute butt into that fitting room and model everything for me." With a huff, Tinley throws the pile of clothes over her shoulder and trudges her way over. She doesn't see an employee in sight when the rooms come into view and hopes she doesn't need a key to get in. She'd rather not have to drag herself all over the store with this ridiculous pile of clothing. She tries the first door in front of her, and of course, it's locked. The doors go all the way to the floor, so there's no way she can slide her body underneath even if she wanted to. She starts to walk back out into the store when she spots a door slightly ajar at the end of the hallway. She shuffles past all the other rooms and pushes the door wide open. For a split second, she has that awkward panic moment-her feet glued to their spot on the floor and a look of horror on her face. She can't look away, but what's in front of her is absolutely terrifying. The woman screams, which finally pulls Tinley out of her daze. She slams the door shut, the clothes tumble from her hands, and she hightails it out of there. She doesn't even stop to tell Tara she's leaving as she speed walks by her. The only thing on her mind is getting out of this store as fast as humanly possible without making a scene. As soon as Tinley steps foot out of the store, someone pulls on her arm and whips her around. "What just happened? Why did you leave?"

SURPRISE! Cover Reveal: ALL CLOSED OFF by Cora Carmack


AllClosedOff_AnnouncementBanner

   


   


From New York Times bestselling author Cora Carmack, comes the highly anticipated fourth standalone title in her Rusk University Series, ALL CLOSED OFF! A passionate story and journey, get ready to be mesmerized with Stella’s story! ALL CLOSED OFF is coming your way May 1, 2017!

ALL CLOSED OFF - cover

Cover Design and Photography by Kelsey Kukal-Keeton at K. Keeton Designs

ABOUT ALL CLOSED OFF (Releasing May 1, 2017):

Stella Santos is fine.

Maybe something terrible happened to her that she can’t even remember. And maybe it drives her crazy when her friends treat her like she’s on the verge of breaking because of it. Maybe it feels even worse when they do what she asks and pretend that it never happened at all. And maybe she’s been getting harassing emails and messages for months from people who don’t even know her, but hate her all the same.
But none of that matters because she’s just fine.
For Ryan Blake, Stella was always that girl. Vibrant and hilarious and beautiful. He wanted her as his best friend. His more than friends. His everything and anything that she would give him. Which these days is a whole lot of nothing. She gets angry when he’s there. Angry when he’s not there. Angry when he tries to talk and when he doesn’t.
When Stella devises an unconventional art project for one of her classes all about exploring intimacy—between both friends and strangers—Ryan finds himself stepping in as guinea pig after one of her subjects bails. What was supposed to be an objective and artistic look at emotion and secrets and sex suddenly becomes much more personal. When he hits it off with another girl from the project, Stella will have to decide if she’s willing to do more than make art about intimacy. To keep him, she’ll have to open up and let herself be the one thing she swore she’d never be again.
Vulnerable.

fire-in-you-cover


About FIRE IN YOU (Standalone Contemporary Romance Releasing November 28, 2016): From the # 1 New York Times and International bestselling author comes a richly moving story about heartbreak and guilt, second chances and hope. Full of familiar, fan-favorite characters and no two people more deserving of a happy ending, Fire In You will burn bright beyond the last page…

Jillian Lima’s whole world was destroyed in a span of a few hours. The same night her childhood love, Brock ‘the Beast’ Mitchell, broke her heart, her life was irrevocably altered by the hand of a stranger with a gun.  It takes six years to slowly glue together the shattered pieces of her life, but Jillian is finally ready to stop existing in a past full of pain and regret. She takes a job at her father’s martial arts Academy and she’s going out on her first date since a failed relationship that was more yuck than yum. Jillian is determined to start living. She just never expected Brock to be a part of her life again. But he’s firmly back in her life before she knows it, and not only is he older, he’s impossibly more handsome, more teasing and more everything. And when he sees Jillian, he’s no longer capable of thinking of her as the little girl who was his shadow growing up or the daughter of the man who gave him a second chance at life. He sees the woman who’d always been there for him, the one person who believed in him no matter what. Brock knows she’s the one he should’ve made his, and what begins as a tentative friendship quickly turns to red-hot chemistry that sparks a flame that burns brighter than lust. Falling for Brock again risks more than her heart, because when the sorrow-filled and guilt-ridden past resurfaces, and a web of lies threatens to rip them apart, the fallout could lay waste to everything they’ve fought to build together, and destroy the dreams of those they care most about.

Pub Date: November 10, 2016



     sweetcheeks_frontcover


An all new second chance love story by the New York Times Bestselling author of the beloved Driven series. It all started with the invitation. To my ex-fiance’s new wedding. I should have ignored it. Thrown it away. Set it afire. But I didn’t. I replied. With a plus one. And then my assistant accidentally mailed it. Enter Hayes Whitley. Mega-movie star. The man who has captured the hearts of millions. But I gave him mine years ago. He was my first love. He was my everything. Right until he up and left to chase his dreams without so much as a simple goodbye. When he showed up out of the blue ten years later, I should have known to steer clear of him. I should have rejected his offer to take me to my ex’s wedding. I should have never let him kiss me. But I didn’t. And now we’re left wondering if the pieces of the life we once shared still fit together somehow. First loves are hard to forget. The question is, do we want to forget? Or do we risk the chance and see what happens next?

*********************************************************************************





K. Bromberg has been an author on my TBR list for quite sometime. I just haven't had the time with work to commit to another series. But when I saw that she was writing a stand alone I knew I knew I had to read it! I could not have been more excited when I saw I was chosen to receive an advanced copy to read and review.
Sweet Cheeks is a hilarious, moving, and very romantic second chance at love story.  And you all know how I'm a sucker for second chance stories. They just pull at my heart strings. And K. Bromberg did not disappoint with this one. She had me wanting more from the very beginning.

I could not help but fall in love and root for Saylor and Hayes. Childhood best friends turned high school sweet hearts with a rocky past. Brought together after 10 years of silence because of a pact that Hayes made with Saylors brother Ryder.



Saylor has been invited to her Ex. Finances wedding. And by mistake the RSVP had been sent. Saylors brother gets it in his head that it will help their business if she went to the wedding and made nice with everyone and show that even though she was the one that walked away her life couldn't be better. Hence the appearance of Hayes. Of course Saylor can't go to the wedding alone, especially since she replied with a plus one on the RSVP card.

Now the two of them are stuck together on an exotic tropical island. Acting like they are madly in love.  Of course, emotions begin to run high,  buried feelings begin surface,  and ultimately choices will have to be made. 
I loved the way the author wrote these characters. Even though its not everyday you find an actor going home to a small town. The  whole scenario seemed believable.  Everything seemed so natural and unforced.  The chemistry between the characters was phenomenal. Made me wish I had a high school sweet heart in my life.  It was just too cute.




Not to mention the witty banter between the characters, just great. Absolutely loved it. I could not have asked for more in a male lead. Strong, sexy, funny, and of course sweet. As well as an amazingly determined, strong willed, sweet, damaged , feisty female lead. 

When you are first introduced to the characters you know that they both has a past. Saylor, with her ex-fiance and Hayes with Saylor. You aren't sure why she would walk away from the so called "perfect man." and on the other hand you see that Hayes still affects her when he shows up to help her in this predicament that she is in. Even though she doesn't believe that she is in. And you're not exactly sure of the past that the two of them have (Saylor and Hayes.) All you know is that he left with out a word 10 years prior and she was heartbroken. But it seems that there was more to him leaving, which is told through out the book. 





While i was reading I could feel what each character was going through. When they were sad I felt sad, and when they were happy, I felt happy. When there was love in the air, oh boy I felt it. You knew from the moment that these two were thrown together that sparks were going to fly and boy did they. I will also warn you that by the end of this book you are going to be craving cupcakes. Through out reading this book, with all the talk about cupcakes I was like I need those....like now. I almost went and baked some because I was craving them so badly.

The setting of this story was beautiful and I could not have picked a better setting for a second chance love story then a tropical island/ small town. Creating a romantic setting as well as places that in sighted trips down memory lane. Well played K. Bromberg, well played.

Addicted Series Love Fest -Letter to Krista and Becca Ritchie



Hello Fellow Readers!

Due to the release of the final Addicted Series/Calloway Sisters novel on May 20th! The Fizzle Force wanted to do our own tribute and love to this wonderful series and its amazing authors!!

So I decided to show my addicted series love by just expressing how much I love these characters in the form of a goodbye/ thank you letter!

-To Krista and Becca

I have come to absolutely love these characters, each and everyone. From the two that started it all Lily and Lo all the way to Sadie the cat! Through all of these novels, we have laughed, cried, mourned, evolved, and fallen in love with these characters. From their highest achievements to their lowest of lows, we have been through it all.

Its hard not to become attached to characters that feel so real and normal, despite the fact that are children of millionaire moguls. They each had their own problems and worked through them, but I think what has stuck with me the most through all these books is they have one common theme.

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING!

No matter what either of them have gone through, they have gone through it together. When one of them was hurting they all were hurting.

Which is something that I have always admired about them. The way that they were a force to be reckoned with when something went wrong. Even if they weren't always fond of each other *cough* Rose and Lo *cough* haha. However,  In the end I believe that each and everyone of them would gladly lay down their lives to protect the other.

Not to mention they are all quirky and funny as hell, as well huge nerds. Well I cant necessarily call Connor and Rose Cobalt  nerds. They would be the know it all's of the group, I say that in the nicest way possible, because if I was ever in trouble those are the two I would want in my corner getting me out of any sticky situation. Even though I love Daisy, Lily, Lo, and Ryke.

These feelings that we have about these characters is a huge testament to Krista and Becca! The wonderful, talented, amazing authors who created and brought these unbelievable characters to life.
There are no amount of words that could be written to express the amount of gratitude and love that we all have for you! I can not tell you how many times I've been in a predicament and had to think what would Connor Cobalt do? Especially when choosing what I wear, Rose Calloway has been a huge influence. lol. I even tried to learn French because of those two. It didn't go so well. But its the attempt that counts right. 

The friendships that have also our been created from our love of this series. Is a friendship that will last long after this series is over.   

I still cant believe that its coming to an end. I feel like I'm losing Harry Potter all over again! Bu I can not be more excited to see what the future holds, as well as what happens in Some Kind of Perfect!

I know im kind of all over the place. Ive never been good with exspressing emorions into words. And I kind of feel all over the place, but I guess what I'm trying to say  is THANK YOU!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating these realistic, strong, caring, witty, brave, and loyal characters for us readers!


With Love and Thanks,

Kaitlan

Addicted Series Full-Length Epilogue Novelfalling in love was just the beginning





I am IN LOVE with this series, and these characters! I could be more excited and sad  for the release of this book. These characters have formed a special place in my heart and I am in no way ready to say goodbye! But I also can not wait to see how it all ends. These characters seriously feel like old friends, and have grown so much throughout the series. However, even though it will break my heart to have to say goodbye.  All good things must come to an end right. The best thing about books though, is that it never really ends. We can always go back and revisit our favorite characters over and over again. I say this now, but I guarantee that when I finish this book I will be a blubbering mess of feels.

If you have read this series then you know exactly what I am talking about, and if you have not yet met these wonderful characters. You are seriously missing out and I encourage you wholeheartedly to go and grab a copy of Addicted To You, the novel that started it all!
