ALL BROKE DOWN

RUSK UNIVERSITY #2
Author: Cora Carmack
Publication date: October 28th 2014
Genre: New Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Synopsis:
In this second book in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cora Carmack’s New Adult, Texas-set Rusk University series, which began with ALL LINED UP, a young woman discovers that you can’t only fight for what you believe in . . . sometimes you have to fight for what you love

 Dylan fights for lost causes. Probably because she used to be one.

 Environmental issues, civil rights, corrupt corporations, and politicians—you name it, she’s probably been involved in a protest. When her latest cause lands her in jail overnight, she meets Silas Moore. He’s in for a different kind of fighting. And though he’s arrogant and infuriating, she can’t help being fascinated with him. Yet another lost cause.

 Football and trouble are the only things that have ever come naturally to Silas. And it’s trouble that lands him in a cell next to do-gooder Dylan. He’s met girls like her before—fixers, he calls them, desperate to heal the damage and make him into their ideal boyfriend. But he doesn’t think he’s broken, and he definitely doesn’t need a girlfriend trying to change him. Until, that is, his anger issues and rash decisions threaten the only thing he really cares about, his spot on the Rusk University football team. Dylan might just be the perfect girl to help.

Because Silas Moore needs some fixing after all.

AT ANY MOMENT

GAMING THE SYSTEM #3
Author: Brenna Aubrey 
Publication date: October 27th 2014
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Synopsis:
It’s Dangerous to Go Alone!
Mia Strong never expected to be deciding the rest of her life at age twenty-two. Is she willing to become a human lab rat? Does she need to write a will? Does she ever want a family–and if so, with whom? She can’t dodge the tough questions–not if she plans to live to see twenty-three. With her life hanging in the balance, Mia wants nothing more than to rely on Adam Drake, but he’s hurt her before.

You Must Gather Your Party Before Venturing Forth…

Adam Drake knows that he’s made mistakes, but when he discovers what Mia’s facing, he realizes how much those mistakes could cost him. Now he has to choose between being the man who can save Mia’s life or the man she can love. No matter how much it tears him apart, Adam knows he has to put Mia first…even if it means he’s out of the picture entirely.

Will their love survive this epic battle or is it game over?

This novel is the third and final book in Adam and Mia’s trilogy, but they will be featured in future Gaming the System novels.

WITHERING HOPE

Author: Layla Hagen 
Publication date: January 19th 2015
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Synopsis:
Aimee’s wedding is supposed to turn out perfect. Her dress, her fiancé, and the location—the idyllic holiday ranch in Brazil—are perfect. 

But all Aimee’s plans come crashing down when the private jet that’s taking her from the U.S. to the ranch—where her fiancé awaits—defects mid-flight and the pilot is forced to perform an emergency landing in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. 

With no way to reach civilization, being rescued is Aimee and Tristan’s—the pilot—only hope. A slim one that slowly withers away, desperation taking its place. Because death wanders in the jungle under many forms: starvation, diseases. Beasts. 
As Aimee and Tristan fight to find ways to survive, they grow closer. Together they discover that facing old, inner agonies carved by painful pasts takes just as much courage, if not even more, than facing the rainforest. 

Despite her devotion to her fiancé, Aimee can’t hide her feelings for Tristan—the man for whom she’s slowly becoming everything. You can hide many things in the rainforest. But not lies. Or love.

Withering Hope is the story of a man who desperately needs forgiveness and the woman who brings him hope. It is a story in which hope births wings and blooms into a love that is as beautiful and intense as it is forbidden.

THE REASON I STAY

Author: Patty Maximini 
Publication date: September 10th 2014
Genres: New Adult, Romance

Synopsis:
Jack Daniels is the cure to all evils.

Sex should be casual and, preferably, anonymous.

Giving a damn is for nurses, philanthropists and suicide hotlines.

My name is Mathew Rogers and those are the values I built my adult life around. They are also the reason I had to forsake everything I loved in Seattle and embark on a solitary road trip across the country, with no direction other than searching for the next small town, the next girl, and the closest liquor store. 

Boredom, frustration and a series of unfortunate decisions led me to the rickety-ass town of Jolene, Alabama—a town I wanted to leave behind from the moment I passed the welcome sign. But it was there where I met her. The girl who made me question everything I’ve always believed in, and the only one who has ever had the power to break my heart. 

Her name is Lexie. 

She’s beautiful, and I’m pretty sure she hates me.

And for once in my life, I give enough of a damn that I keep finding a reason to stay.

[GUEST POST] DEALING WITH WRITER'S BLOCK

10/23/2014

2 Comments

Can I just start off by saying that writer’s block sucks? It does, big time! There’s nothing more frustrating in life than knowing what you need to say, but having no words to say it. It’s like being hungry, in a restaurant, but without your wallet. S-U-C-K-S! 

But it’s something every writer goes through from time to time, and every writer deals with it differently. There’re a lot of blog posts and articles out there on internet-land with amazing tips on how to deal with this evil. Personally, I’ve read about a million of them, and though some were really helpful, I don’t think there’s a road map or certified cure. You just have to wing it and find what works—and doesn’t work—for you. 

To me, the worst way to get around writer’s block is to try to push through and force myself to write. I know it works for some people, but I’m definitely not in that group. In fact, it’s a guaranteed way to up my frustration to the point where I’m in tears and seriously considering hitting the delete button on every word I have in the manuscript and retiring. 

Picture
Instead, whenever I start to feel blocked, I just step away from the computer—there’s no point in staying there anyway—and go do something that will distract me and, hopefully, jumpstart my brain. My top choices are mindless tasks like doing dishes, which is honestly a miracle worker. Within three plates my brain is already drifting back to the story with fresh ideas. Cooking, playing with my dogs and pinning things on Pinterest tends to help, as well. In severe cases, I resort to exercise. My favorites are yoga and running. They help clear my head, and by the end of the workout, I’m usually so relaxed and filled with yummy endorphins that the words start pouring out. 

If none of those options work, then we go to plan B, which involves a bowl of ice-cream, my butt on the couch and a romantic comedy on TV. Not such a bad option if you ask me. *winks*

of SHAME
by Rachel van Dyken

SHAME

RUIN #3
Author: Rachel van Dyken
Publication date: October 6th 2014
Genre: New Adult, Contemporary

Synopsis:
Everything done in darkness, will eventually be brought into the light.

I ran, but all it did was keep me one step ahead of my past. I tried to start over; new name, new identity. But you can't change your soul.
A fresh start at college was just what I needed. For a while, it worked. I was the party girl, the one that seemed confident, but it was a lie.
When guys kissed me--I felt only pain. 
When they touched me--Nothing but fear.

Deep inside, every girl wants to be the beauty in the story, to find someone that will see you as their world. 
But the truth? I was the beast. And as much as I wanted redemption, I wasn't fool enough to think I'd ever get it. 
Until he walked into my life.

I wasn't prepared to fall for someone. My scars were too deep, the wounds too raw. But he offered me peace, he offered me security. I should have known it was just another lie--I should have known that falling in love with my professor was a bad idea.
But I was powerless to stop myself from falling. 
And he was powerless to catch me.

Because the darkness finally caught up to me, and as fate would have it, a cruel twist almost bled me dry. But I'm stronger than I knew. I'm stronger than you think.
You think you know my story, but you don't....after all everyone has Shame in their lives-- and I'm no longer afraid to show you mine.
