Jamie:
I drink.
I party.
I’ll let you guess what else I do the best and they never get any seconds with me. One and done.
The choices I make guarantee I’m never the one left behind.
I say and do what I want with no regrets; now I’m ordered to attend anger management to keep my job.
The problem? My failure of a one night stand is now running the group, but I’ve spent my time running and avoiding him at any cost.
Gavin:
My job, my house, my car…my life is exactly how I want it to be except in the relationship department. Jamie has a ridiculous one and done rule. I know one taste will never be enough. If she thinks this is over, she has never been more wrong.
I’m determined to prove to her that rules were made to be broken and that we are worth breaking them.

Blurb:
The first time I met Ian Kemp in the sparkling blue waters of St. Thomas, I was six years old and we shared a summer beneath the stars.
The second time I met Ian Kemp, he was a shell of the boy I once knew. Turbulent and infuriating, he refused my friendship at every turn. Like me, he was a casualty of life’s cruelty, but we were planets apart.
We’d both sought refuge on the island, hoping to find our anchor. Instead, we found each other and managed to reclaim our stars...until we both got swept away.
Review:
Koti and Ian met one summer years ago and quickly became friends- despite the age difference. When Koti's life doesn't go as planned she retreats to the beach home again to find herself. Getting herself back together again, she finds a friend, and work making her retreat on the beach property permanent.
Ian Kemp had his world shattered. That same day he boarded a plane for getaway from the world- what better than the Island of St. Thomas. With his life imploding around him, he doesn't need the infurriating girl next door sticking her nose in his business.
They rekindle their childhood friendship, which soon add on the benefits that they both need, getting seept away cointhe moment,the island- but they live in separate worlds. Will what they have on the island survive the real world?
Honestly I picked up this book and could scarcely put it down. It was so emotional, and I loved how much this book made me feel. I loved how strong Koti was, despite everything. I loved and felt for Koti, and Ian. I loved Ella & Jasmine. I was captivated by Koti & Ian's story. "And so, I'm here living someone else's life, in someone else's house staring at someone else's ocean." 5⭐ out of 5⭐.

Review: Confessions of a Klutz
Title: Confession of a Klutz
Author: Abigail Davies
Blurb:
What do you get when you cross a klutz with a GQ model lookalike?
Sounds like a bad joke, right? Only it’s my reality. And reality comes in the form of arm veins, dimples, and THE sexiest voice I’ve ever heard.
But there’s a slight issue. You see, I have a confession: I’m a klutz.
I’m used to it now and everything's going fine— if you don’t count the monthly trips to ER and the twenty-three jobs in the last four years—that is until I’m sent to New York.
The city of dreams… a klutz's worst nightmare.
Three weeks. Twenty-one days.
I can control it, right?
WRONG.
Let the fun begin.
Review:
Violet is a Klutz. She earns a trip to the ER multiple times a year, trips over nothing, and runs into stuff constantly. Throw in the fact that her job is sending her to NYC- a Klutz worst nightmare? Thats a recipe for disaster of epic proportions. And when her eyes land on her new boss- hot, moody, and arm veins for days? She can totally control her klutziness for three weeks, right? Right? Wrong.
I loved this book. I devoured it in hours. If you are looking for a rom-com then pick up this book. I loved how relatable Violet was- being a Klutz myself, who trips over nothing all the time, I was glad to see I wasn't alone. Quick, funny read perfect for the summer. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.

COVER REVEAL
Title: A Kiss to Tell
Author: Willow Winters
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Cover Design: Cover Me Darling
Photo: Regina Wamba
Models: Alex & Cherry
Release Date: August 14, 2018
BLURB
I didn’t need anyone to tell me, I knew he was forbidden with a single glance.
I didn’t need anyone to tell me, I knew he was forbidden with a single glance.
He was a boy I should be afraid of and definitely a boy I should never want. No matter how much neither of those statements were true.
From the first time I saw him, Sebastian had a hard stare that pinned me in place. And, years later, it hasn’t softened.
We lived on the same street, went to the same school, though he was a year ahead. Even so close, he was untouchable.
He was bad news and I was the sad girl who didn’t belong.
One night changed everything.
We both had secrets. We both saw the pain in each other’s eyes.
That gaze that gave me chills, turned to a lust-filled haze that heated every inch of me.
But that didn’t change who he was. A man who would take everything from me.

--Original Tag Creator: the.book.gypsy
⋯ QUESTIONS ⋯
1. What book gave you the creeps?
Pet Semetary by Stephen King i just remember reading it, and my cat was acting super weird- like doing the same things the cat from the book we're doing. It was creepy! 😂

2. What book gives you the best Halloween vibes?
I Love the Goosebumps books by R.L. Stien I need to restart the collection. I used to have almost all of them before my mom made me get rid of them. (Had to sell old books before I could buy new books.)

Another one is Black Bird of the Gallows by Meg Kassel I loved it.
3. What’s your favorite vampire book?
I love vampires. That being said,I haven't read many vampire books 😂 I Loved Simon from the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare does that count? Also the Vampire Diaries series by LJ Smith - ok so I basically just loved Damon, but can you blame me? I mean, HELLO it was Damon Salvatore!!

4. What book scared you so much you had to sleep with the light on?
Uhh in high school I went through and read a ton of Stephen King books among others. Yes I am easily scared & yes I had to sleep with a light on. But I can't remember any off the top of my head. I haven't read any horror books in a long time though.

Oh maybe I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan
5. What’s your favorite book about witches/goblins/ghosts/demons? (one of each)
Uhh I don't know why I am drawing such a blank. Ok for Ghosts I am going to say Remember Me by Christopher Pike. The only demons I can think of, again is the Shadowhunter series by Cassandra Clare. And I guess Harry Potter series by JK Rowling for Witches. I don't know if I read any books about Goblins. But I would be interested in more books about Demons I think.
6. What book do you wish was scarier than it was?
Nope nope nope. Hahaha. I don't need a book to scare me. I mean, I sometimes love a book to send my heart into a faster pace BUT I don't need a book to keep me awake for a week vs just a night. I do need my sleep now that I'm a mom.

Reread: Crowned With Guilt
Title: Crowned With Guilt
Series: Remember the Reaper
Author: S.K. Rose
Blurb:
As a child, I discovered a castle.
It became a sanctuary from the nightmare that was my life, but my fairytale truly began when he found me.
The boy with green eyes and crooked smile.
The boy with stories and an imagination that could take us far, far away.
In our castle he was the prince, and I the princess.
For the first time in my life I was safe, happy.
I was loved.
But every fairytale has a villain, ours would be no different.
I just never expected the villain to be me.
Review:
God. I absolutely love this book. Even the second time around my emotions are running wild. I love the characters. I love this story. And I cannot wait for more.
Tessa's life has been hell, until the day she meets the boy next door. For the first time she felt safe, happy and loved. But life isn't a fairy tale and there is no happily ever after for this broken princess.
When tragedy strikes again in Tessa's life- she becomes known as the Reaper.
And like the first time I read this book I was immediately drawn in from the beginning and went through a whirlwind of emotions. I still absolutely loved & with the characters. This book is still flipping amazing. And I still messaged the author to yell at her despite knowing the outcome.
If you haven't read this book yet, what the hell are you waiting for? Seriously, get on that. Buy this book. Bump it up on your TBR. And let the words consume you.
Still 5 mind blowing ⭐ out of 5⭐

EXCERPTS
Excerpt 1
Stella Lilith used to have an adventurous side, but I think it’s been a while since she broke a few rules. “Will you climb out first?”
There’s my girl. “Yep.” I press down on the sink, hoping it doesn’t fall off the wall. It looks old, so I’m not sure it can hold my weight. But it’s getting louder in the hall, so I climb up, grabbing an exposed pipe above the window, and maneuver my legs through the opening. Good thing we’re on the ground level. Pushing off, I land on my feet in the alley and turn around. “Stella?”
She peeks out and by the way her lips are twisted and her eyes are looking at the cement, she’s nervous. “I don’t want to fall.”
“I’d never let you. Not to the ground anyhow.”
For a second, she looks confused, but her brow relaxes and a small smile appears. “You’ll catch me?”
“Every time.”
She disappears, and I can hear her climbing onto the sink. Her legs slide out the window until her ass rests on the metal sill. “Ready for me, Rivers?”
“All my life.”
“For real,” she says, her nerves causing a slight shake to her tone. “You’re going to catch me, right?”
“Always.” I take her by the ass, and say, “Put your legs over my shoulders.”
“What? No.”
“Yes. I’ve got you. Then all I have to do is back up as you slip out.”
“I’m not as light as I used to be. Are you sure you can handle me?”
I work my way under her so her legs are over my shoulders. “Don’t worry about me, baby. I can handle you all right.”
Her thighs squeeze my neck. I like to think it was the name I slipped in there, but it’s probably because she’s anxious to do this. She slips out a little more, and our eyes meet. “You’re sure you’re ready?”
“All you have to do is let go. I have you.”
Releasing the pipe, she ducks her head to the side while I support her back with my hands, holding her until she clears the glass. Helping her upright, my face is against the jeans that cover her vagina and she’s squeezing my head with her legs so tight I don’t know if I’m going to live. What a sweet fucking way to die.
Excerpt 2
I’m a skilled guitarist. I know how to make her come using all I’ve learned and playing her like an instrument.
I’m just not sure if I’m ready to let her have a release. I’m thinking of keeping her on the brink so we can come together. Stella grinds against my hand, seeking relief. I pull out and replace my finger with my cock one big inch at a time.
A gasp and then a harsh intake of air draws my attention to her pretty face. “How do I feel, baby?”
“So good. So much.” Her eyes open lazily as she takes a slow deep breath and looks into my eyes as I hover over her. Her hands drift from my shoulders to my jaw. “I want all of you, Rivers. Your body, your love, this look in your eyes forever. Kiss me.” Fuck. Yes. Forever.
I push in a little more, causing her eyes to close with the motion. My lips touch hers, and she whispers, “I was always here waiting for you. I was always yours . . .” I push in farther, her words driving me to take more. “To love.” Further, the feel of her engulfing me begins to cloud my thoughts. “To fuck.”
Fuck. I thrust all the way, as deep as I can go. Her head goes back, her words cries of desire. I kiss the underside of her chin and fuck.
Fuck.
Love.
Fuck.
Not gentle.
Driving home everything I’ve wanted to tell her since the day we broke up. “I love you.” I fuck her selfishly. I fuck her to satisfy my own needs. I fuck her into an apology. “I’m sorry if I hurt you.”
“Don’t say sorry,” she manages between panting breaths. “You feel so good.”
I rest on my forearms and take her wrists in hand before pulling them above her head. Our palms press together. Our fingers entwine. Her body is stretched beneath me when I kiss her lips, showing her how much I care about her. “I meant I’m sorry for what I’m about to do to you.”
