A Little Too Hot Bonus Scene

Tossed out of college and cut off by her parents, Samantha West is in pretty dire straits. So when her rocker best friend hooks her up with a job dancing at a gentlemen’s club, who is she to turn it down? Plus, there are rules to dancing at Benny’s: No touching, keep your clothes on at all times, and never get closer than three feet. Unfortunately for Sam, her first private client makes her want to break every single one of them.

Harrison Yates is scorching hot, but he’s got a past that involves being left at the altar not too long ago. Sam is determined to make him forget about his ex, but when she makes her move, it flings her life into a spiral of chaos she never saw coming.

Because Harrison Yates isn’t who he seems to be. And his secret will probably get her killed.

Now for something special... 

TEASER BOMBING!!

“Alec looked down at the shattered pieces in disbelief. “You BROKE my PHONE.”
Jace shrugged. “Guys don’t let other guys keep calling other guys. Okay, that came out wrong. Friends don’t let friends keep calling their exes and hanging up. Seriously. You have to stop.”
Alec looked furious. “So you broke my brand new phone? Thanks a lot.”
Jace smiled serenely and lay back on the grass. “You’re welcome.” 

~City of Heavenly Fire

“We shouldn’t,” protested Isabelle. “The Clave has a plan.”
“The Clave has the collective intelligence of a pineapple,” said Jace.
Alec blinked up at them. “Jace is right.”
Isabelle turned on her brother. “What do you know? You weren’t even paying attention.”
“I was,” Alec said, injured. “I said Jace was right.”
“Yeah, but there’s like a 90% chance of me being right most of the time, so that’s not proof you were listening,” said Jace. “That’s just a good guess.” 

~City of Heavenly Fire

“Magnus rolled onto his back and put his feet up on the arm of the sofa. “What do you care if Alec’s miserable?”
“What do I care?” Jace said, so loudly that Chairman Meow rolled off the couch and landed on the floor. “Of course I care about Alec; he’s my best friend, my parabatai. And he’s unhappy. And so are you, by the look of things. Takeout containers everywhere, you haven’t done anything to fix up the place, your cat looks dead —“
“He’s not dead.”

~ City of Heavenly Fire

“Isabelle tugged her tank top back down and glared at her brother. “You don’t knock now?”

“It’s my bedroom!” Alec spluttered.” 

~ City of Heavenly Fire

“Alec pulled his knees up to his chest and looked thoughtfully at Jace. “I know,” he said. “I’m not jealous. I always knew, from the first, that everyone thought you were better than me. My dad thought it. The Clave thought it. Izzy and Max looked up to you as the great warrior they wanted to be like. But the day you asked me to be your parabatai, I knew you meant that you trusted me enough to ask me to help you. You were telling me that you weren’t this lone and self-sufficient warrior able to do everything alone. You needed me. So I realized that there was one person who didn’t assume you were better than me. You.”

~ City of Heavenly Fire

So, I don't know about all of you, but I happen to be totally in love with Jace, despite the fact that he is a dickhead, and broken, and probably completely mental... Okay so maybe it doesn't make sense, but any of you reading probably loves him too, so no judging! 

We'll definitely have more teasers coming up near the release date, but until then, this is all you get! If we're lucky, we'll post one quote a week until we get to the release date. Fingers cross these months go by quickly! I can hardly wait for this!

But until it comes out, keep reading, and keep falling in love with the characters

Barely Breathing by Rebecca Donovan

“I breathed for you... I begged for you to breathe with every breath I gave to you. I kept pleading for you to breathe over and over again. And then… then you did."
~Evan, Barely Breathing

Emma’s struggle with an abusive home life came to a heart pounding conclusion in the final chapters of Reason to Breathe. Now everyone in Weslyn knows Emma’s secret, but Carol can’t hurt Emma anymore. Some are still haunted by the horror of that night, and some must face the repercussions of their choices. Fans of Rebecca Donovan’s debut novel will discover there’s still much to learn about Emma’s life.

Arya: There are just too many things to say. I can't get it out on the screen or I swear you'll be reading for an hour... or more. No promises. Anyway, from my last post, you probably know that I was like almost crying to get this book in my hands. I was begging, and screaming to go to the library, and when I got it... I was horribly disappointed. That was the first emotion I felt upon opening the book. Seriously, what happened to the scene with her waking up?! Or getting saved for that matter? That happened through a lot of the book actually... the scenes with the most action were either skipped over or had too little description to completely satisfy me. Still, it was something I could look over when I read the actual book. Admittedly, it wasn't as great as the first one, but it was still pretty damn good! There was a little less of a need to cry, but there was still enough of it to make me swoon now. Thinking back on it just makes me want to read it again... or go out to buy the series. You should do that. Seriously. It was one hell of a boss book. The emotions it took me through just made me fall in love with the characters all over again, except for Emma. Her I wasn't so hot about during this book. Like, I get it and all, but damn. It's hard to wrap my mind around even though I'd probably be doing the same thing if thrust in her situation.
Evan: Let's start with him, because I like him. This book just... I don't really know how it made me feel. I was indignant on his behalf, I was freaking PISSED OFF for him, and most of all, I was sad about what was going on with Emma behind his back. His instincts were spot on, but his trust in her? Perhaps a bit misplaced. Not to say that she didn't deserve it, but she didn't deserve it nearly that much. At the end though, during the fight? Man, that boy might have been a bit immature and letting his emotions rule him, but having a guy for you is always hot, but it bothered me a bit. He let his emotions get in the way of his usual logical thinking. Of course, he was under the impression that his girlfriend was cheating on him with his mother's boyfriend of all people, but really, he could have at least listened to Emma... it didn't help that Jonathan was majorly provoking him though. That I can't really blame.
Emma: So many times. So many damn freaking times in this book I wanted to smack the living daylights out of her! Like seriously! All that stuff I said in my last review about her being noble and stuff? Yeah, totally take that back now. It's almost like she's incapable of finding middle ground, varying between noble to a fault and unbelievably selfish. This was on the bad end of the spectrum. Of course, after all that's happened to her, maybe she deserved some time to be like that, but man, that was taking it way too far. I mean, trust Jonathan over Evan? I could have slapped her. Again, I can't exactly blame her; Jonathan did kind of share her experiences, so perhaps she felt a kinship with him. But still, she shouldn't have gotten so close to him! He was dating her mother for goodness sakes! And while I'm on the topic of her mother, my heart just broke for Emma when dear Mommy came into the picture. What kind of mother blames her own daughter for her husband's death? I was almost jumping with joy when the Charles came in to talk about her father's inheritance for her. I was that happy. Her mother didn't deserve that title. She was horrible. She should have stayed the hell away from Emma, or at least not given her up! The poor girl went through hell because of her! Man, I hated her so much. She basically guilted her father into staying by saying she was pregnant with her child, just because she didn't want him to leave her. What a disgusting woman. Emma really got the bad hand with all the parental business. I wish I could rant some more, but I've already taken up a lot of room, so, let's end it off.
The ending... the damn ending. Again it made me beg for the last book. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. What was Emma going to do after the fight? Was she going to leave Evan there? Or was she going to go get him help? He was wounded pretty badly after all. I just couldn't wait. Those words she said to Jonathan though, were damn harsh. She was weak in the first book and so noble it broke me, but in this one, she definitely became like a tiny ball of pure fury and agony. That's the best way I can think of to describe her. What other cause would you have to hurt the people closest to you?

Searching around in my brain, la la la, let's find a number!

9 stars out of 10! Congratulations! 

What an amazing book!

Yeah... I couldn't find a book trailer for this one either, but next one, promise!

Until then, keep reading!

Much love,

~Kay and Arya

Reason to Breathe by Rebecca Donovan

“I love that picture," he admitted softly. "I think it's because I love the girl in that picture."
~Evan, Reason to Breathe

"No one tried to get involved with me, and I kept to myself. This was the place where everything was supposed to be safe and easy. How could Evan Mathews unravel my constant universe in just one day?"

In the affluent town of Weslyn, Connecticut, where most people worry about what to be seen in and who to be seen with, Emma Thomas would rather not be seen at all. She’s more concerned with feigning perfection while pulling down her sleeves to conceal the bruises - not wanting anyone to know how far from perfect her life truly is. Without expecting it, she finds love. It challenges her to recognize her own worth - but at the risk of revealing the terrible secret she’s desperate to hide. 

Reason to Breathe is an electrifying page turner from start to finish, a unique tale of life-changing love, unspeakable cruelty, and one girl’s fragile grasp of hope.

Arya: Man, what to say about this book? Just... damn. Over and over again I thought my heart would break reading this. Really, a few pages in, I was under the impression that it was like a classic Cinderella, where Prince Charming would come in, swoop her off her feet and carry her off the the happily ever after ending. And yet, I was totally wrong. I was so wrong it wasn't even funny any more. This Cinderella lived a horrid life, one that made my heart crack every which way. Her Prince Charming didn't save her from the life... but he did help immensely. When I started noticing the change in Emma after Evan popped in, just... damn. He was like a freaking saviour to her darkness.
Emma: Alright. As usual, we'll start with our lovely heroine. At first, I was thinking how Emily and Emma matched, but yeah, got it soon and just kinda ignored it. I guess after her mother left, she just wanted something a bit different. And don't even let me get into her mother; ranting for her will come later. Emma... I can't help but admire her. It's so hard not to, and yet at the same time I curse her absolute idiocy! It's kinda like Nixon from Elect and Elite. (The reviews for those two should be up too, just to let you know). Seriously. It's noble to a fault! Sure, you want to protect the kids from a life without their mother, but damn, you'd think she'd be worry about her own life too! I know Sara definitely was. Let me tell you, that girl takes the whole best friend thing and tosses the bar straight through the roof, high enough that I can't even see it any more. Sara is an amazing friend for Emma, and really, when she yelled at her, I was like, "Emma! What the hell do you think you're doing girl?!" Damn, she was definitely an idiot then, but admittedly, it kinda made sense in the same way. She had good intentions... she was just not being selfish enough. Like I said, noble to a fault.
Evan: Now, usually I love talking about the guy. This is no exception at all. Him, just...holy crap I don't know what to say. He's so caring, so damn amazing that I actually had a bit of trouble breathing! I know he's definitely on my list of book boyfriends! But anyways, even though he was great, it almost seemed unrealistic in how great he was. I mean, really, being that patient with a girl? It gets to be like, "seriously? He's not even mad at THAT?" I had a few of those moments, but they were amongst "awww! cute!" moments, so that was fine. Still, When Emma and Evan were apart, I had no words. I think I started crying, for both of them. They were so good together, and it was hard to see them get so mad at each other over virtually nothing! But Emma, at that point I was worried as hell over her, and worried about her breaking Evan's heart. He's so good! He doesn't deserve to be hurt!
There're so many things to say, but too little time to say it. The ending... all I can say about the ending is that I was almost begging for the next book. That ending was simply intense. I was so happy when I got Barely Breathing, and then I may have ranted a bit... Anyways, that comes next! But for anyone who loves angst and needs justice with a dash of sexy boys, this is definitely the book for you!

From the depths of Arya's mind comes her rating...

9.5 stars out of 10!!!!

Totally loved this book; YOU GOTTA READ IT!

Ya know what, I really wanted to find a book trailer, but I couldn't, or at least not one that wasn't stolen from a movie. So, until the next time, when I should have the next book, keep reading and exploring the infinite worlds.

Much love,

~Kay and Arya
