He's her first. He's her everything. He's her...stepbrother.
Kat has always been a good girl. She studies hard and never stays out too late. But when sitting in a pub on her birthday, she realizes she's a nineteen-year-old virgin who's never really lived. And she wants tonight to be the night that changes.
Then she sees him walk in. He's tall, dark, handsome, and straight out of her deepest fantasies. His voice makes her knees feel weak, and when he smiles, she imagines him doing wicked things to her in bed. From the look in his eyes, she knows he's imagining it too. So when he asks if he can walk her home, she hears herself whisper yes...

Review
Noooo!  Evil, EVIL Author Person!  This book has a serious cliffhanger!  SO good though!  Super hot!  There IS a sneak peak into the next book though, so may be helpful to you, though it could also make it worse...  This was a first for me, most of the Step books that I've read, they already know that they're step-siblings, most of them having lived together, if only for a short while.  This one though, if it didn't say Stepbrother in the title, it would be a total shock!  I love that this author made it that way.  This book, obviously, ended WAY before I wanted it to.  I really hope there's a blitz for the next book, I NEED IT!

Books 2 & 3 are already available for preorder!  Go get them, I promise, you'll want them handy!

Five years ago, Embry Jacobs ran...

She ran from a past that still hasn’t let her go, but her dream of becoming a lawyer is stronger than her fear of confronting that past. Embry’s sole focus is to get through law school—with the help of her best friend, Morgan - and make something of the broken girl she became. Not thinking about falling in love, being in a relationship or even entertaining the idea of romance, Embry is moving forward one day at a time.

Luke Brody is charming and sexy, and has a past of his own. He wants nothing more than to put his demons to rest and move on with his life. But, when Embry enters the picture, is he destined to repeat those same mistakes?

Blindsided by their instant attraction, neither Luke nor Embry are prepared for the feelings they’re developing. But will it all be for nothing?

Will they let their pasts destroy them, or will they risk everything to fight for their relationship when it all comes undone?

Review
OMG! I loved this book!  Hated the Cliffhanger though!  Ugh, I was so mad, but that's why it gets 5 Stars, the book was just so awesome, I didn't want it to stop there, I wanted to know what happened!  Then I look at when it was published...January?!  So I don't even know when the next one will be out, but I SO want to read it!  This book was hot, there was drama, tension, I lost count of how many times I laughed!  I even cackled at one point, that was unexpected...  I had to put it down at one point, but I didn't want to...I HAD to sleep!  It was like 2 am, and my sister was going to kill me if she woke up and saw the light from my Kindle...  Otherwise, I would've stayed up and read the whole thing, I picked it back up first thing the next morning.  This was just such a great book, it didn't make me cry, but I wanted too, and at one point I felt my heart beating like crazy.  I can't tell you why of course, you'll have to read it and find out!  I love that Jar of Hearts is on the playlist below, and check out the excerpt at the bottom for a scene that made me giggle.  I really hope I get to review the next one.  May have to break my rule of not actually buying books...can't have that.

Excerpt
Embry sat in the middle of Luke’s floor, surrounded by baking flour. It was everywhere.
He walked in, and she did everything she could to hide her smile when she saw the look on his face. He was sexy as usual with no shirt, pajama pants hanging off his hips, and bedroom eyes. Until he took in the scene in the kitchen. His beautiful bedroom eyes widened into surprised saucers as he stared at Embry.
“Problem?” she deadpanned.
Luke shook his head, seemingly at a loss for words.
“I was going to make you breakfast.” She picked up a handful of flour and let it sift through her hands like a child would sand on the beach.
“That was nice of you,” he said carefully. “What happened instead?”
Embry hung her head. “I had an incident with the flour.”
Luke walked toward her, leaving floury footprints on the dark, tiled floor. Squatting in front of her, he brushed her hair from her face. “I can see that, baby. But what, exactly, happened?”
Good question. She'd woken up determined to surprise him with a nice breakfast. After searching his well-stocked pantry and refrigerator, she found all the ingredients necessary for blueberry pancakes. She pulled everything out that she would need except the flour. His pantry had tall pull-out cabinets, and the flour sat at the top of one. She’d poked around until she located a step stool. She used it to reach the flour, but the stool didn’t give her enough height. Stretching as far as she could, her fingers grazed the tip of the package. She hoped she could knock it over into her arms, but the flour toppled into her chest before it fell to the floor and exploded.
"I was going to make you blueberry pancakes, but I knocked the flour down from the top shelf of the pantry, and it kind of exploded."
His eyes traveled around the kitchen. An inch of flour covered most of the surfaces, including Embry. He brought his eyes back to her and wiped at a smudge of flour on her cheek. "I kind of figured that part out."
She glared at him, grabbed his arms, and pulled, causing him to fall to the floor in a cloud of white powder.
He narrowed his eyes and tackled her, pinning her arms above her head and hovering over her. "Really, Bree? You sure you want to play this game? You'll lose."
Never one to back down from a challenge, Embry wiggled beneath him, trying to pull her arms free. "Bring it on, Brody," she said, her voice husky.

She ran her hands over his muscled back, up his arms, and into his hair. Just as she was starting to enjoy herself, he pulled away. Before she knew it, he had pulled her back to her feet.
“All right,” he said, clapping and making flour fly. “Pancakes. Let’s do this.”
Embry stepped toward him, softening her eyes and sticking out her bottom lip in a perfect pout. “I’m not interested in pancakes anymore.”

Review
I was given the first and second books of this series for the tour, and while I think the two books may have been better as one, I really loved the story.  Make sure that you buy both Give Me Reason & Give Me HopeGive Me Reason ends with one hell of a cliffhanger, so you'll want to start Give Me Hope immediately!  Give Me Hope ends in a pretty good spot, but if you read the teaser from the next book...well I wouldn't recommend reading the teaser, lol.  I had more questions after reading that short little bit than I did when the book ended!  The next book doesn't come out until the end of December, so I will be so confused by the last sentence until I can read the next book, lol.  I can only hope that the author will let me review the next book as well.

It is from Glendale, Arizona that Zoey Derrick, writes stories as hot as the desert sun itself.  It is this passion that drips off of her work, bringing excitement to anyone who enjoys a good and sensual love story.



Not only does she aim to take her readers on an erotic dance that lasts the night, it allows her to empty her mind of stories we all wish were true.  
Her stories are hopeful yet true to life, skillfully avoiding melodrama and the unrealistic, bringing her gripping Erotica only closer to the heart of those that dare dipping into it.

The intimacy of her fantasies that she shares with her readers is thrilling and encouraging, climactic yet full of suspense. She is a loving mistress, up for anything, of which any reader is doomed to return to again and again.

The Gatekeeper's Daughter

4 of 5 Stars

Therese and Than fell in love in The Gatekeeper's Sons.  In The Gatekeeper's Challenge, Therese was SOOOO close, but ultimately failed her last challenge, so Than broke an oath to turn Therese into a god anyway.  Now Therese has to find her purpose in order to remain a god, and Ares is paranoid.  With godly powers, Therese may want to get vengeance for her parents' deaths.  While that isn't really in her nature, Ares kidnaps her, fearing her potential actions.  Will Therese find her purpose so she can remain a god?  Will they be able to convince Ares that she is not a threat?

This was a really good read!  I may be biased, but I can't recommend this author enough!  I read this book and the previous book in one sitting.  Probably would've started the next one too if I had had it, as this story just ended too soon for me.  The personal strength and the strength of their love, these two take on every obstacle thrown at them, with confidence that it will be overcome, is just amazing.  I can't wait to see what else Eva has planned for these two in the near future!  If you haven't already, go grab all three books!  You won't regret it.

Review of The Gatekeeper's Challenge by Eva Pohler

4 of 5 Stars

In The Gatekeeper's Sons, Therese and Than fell in love.  Ten months later, Than has been out of contact, but frantically searching for a way for Therese to become a god, so they can be together. He finally finds a way, but to do so, Hades tells them that Therese has to successfully complete 5 challenges.  With no outside help, she has to go up against a Hydra, the Minotaur, a dragon...as well as a few other obstacles, both personal and challenge related.  Will Therese be able to succeed?  Will they finally be able to be together?

This was a great read.  With so much action and excitement, I read this book and the next in one sitting!  I was really rooting for Therese to succeed.  She and Than had already been through so much, though I wanted to smack him when he simply tells her he's been "busy" when he finally sees her.  Not busy trying to find a way for them to be together, just BUSY?!  I love this author, she never fails to get me sucked into her books whenever I read them!  If you haven't read any of her books, I recommend you go get The Gatekeeper's Sons. It's still free on several sites, what have you got to lose?  May want to buy The Gatekeeper's Daughter when you buy The Gatekeeper's Challenge, Eva ends this book with one hell of a Cliffhanger!  So go out and buy them all now, and keep an eye out for more reviews of books from this author.  I plan to read, if I can, everything she has ever written!

Review of Grade A Stupid by AJ Lape


4 of 5 Stars

Darcy is known for getting in trouble.  Her best friend Dylan normally keeps her in check.  When Dylan goes to Hawaii with his family for Spring Break, he makes her promise to stay out of trouble, and has some friends keep an eye on her.  When she skips class one day and finds a body, will she be able to keep her promise?

You know, at first I thought, I'm not sure I like how this author ends a scene...just kinda cuts things off.  Then things started to happen and I look up what seems like five minutes later and realize that I've been reading for two hours?!  That's how into the story I was, and it was so intense that I was breathing heavy and my heart was beating like crazy, lol.  AJ has some serious skills, I never thought a YA novel would get me that involved.  I mean it's one thing to get wrapped up in a book and lose track of time, but wow!  I recommend having No Brainer on hand!  You'll want to read it right away.

The Gatekeeper's Sons by Eva Pohler

Audiobook tour button
4 of 5 Stars

Oh wow, where do I start?! I love this author! Eva Pohler has a gift for making the reader emotionally attached to the characters, in a matter of PAGES! I love the fact that she's an English teacher, I can be confident that my brain will never stumble over something in her books. Can't even stress how important that is to me, lol. Now on to the book!

Therese Mills is a 15 year old girl who watches her parents die, right in front of her. If things had happened just a little differently, she would've died too. In a coma for a week, with an amazing gift for lucid dreaming, Therese meets the gods Hypnos and Thanatos. Hip is fascinated by her dreaming skills. After one kiss, she about sweeps Than off of his feet, causing him to make a deal with his father Hades that will change both of their lives forever!

I loved this book! I can't wait to start the next one! If I did partial stars...this would get more than a 4. Not quite a 5 though, I save that for another amazing book this author has written. She really has a way with writing, from describing Than's first experiences, to the personalities given to Therese's pets, lol! I just love her writing and can't wait to read more. I, like another reviewer friend of mine, just don't understand how this author is not more well known! She is an awesome writer, and hands-down better than many of the more mainstream writers that I've read in my life! I hope this author continues writing for many years to come! I can't wait to see what she will come up with next!
