Holy Crap!

I know this is a hell of a way to start this blog but really. So I am reading Dark Light. Pardon my religious language, no offense. Holy sheep shit there is ALOT of sex. I plan to write the blog later this week, detail by detail. It is like every other page. I mean I am not complaining, but this will be a highlight of all the blogs I have written lately. You will enjoy this. ;-)

Sunny Needs Help...

First off, I forgot to put this link on the post yesterday. Molly McAdams put this song on Twitter as a perfect song from Chase to Harper. She is correct...it really is a great song. I am sure that as soon as I can find it I will add it to the playlist on here.

Now my issue that I need help with....I talked about it yesterday...I really need to get off Chase. I am to the point of almost following him on Twitter. This is not normal. I don't know what I need to go to move on. I guess maybe I will reread the Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning. Jericho Barrons usually works but I am not sure on this one. Anyways, hope you enjoy the video. I really like the song.  I need to review Shattered Promises by Jessica Sorensen. I read it this weekend. Hopefully I can get that done tomorrow morning.

Jamie is OBSESSED!

So a girl I know finally decided to get on board WAY late and read 50 Shades of Grey last week. She was at work this weekend and was all about the book and totally obsessing over EVERYTHING. It was to the point of her sitting there doing something and then just stopping and telling everyone that she was so depressed she was done and then how much she missed Christian...and of course the inevitable...feeling like she was going through a bad breakup!  (NO JUDGING PPL--YOU ALL DID THE SAME WHEN YOU READ IT!)  Now I am thinking back to when I read the books (and convinced the whole office and restaurant I worked at to read them) and how obsessed we all were...I have said this from day 1--you need to read these books with a buddy!

So in reliving these feelings I realized that as much I have been so over 50 Shades and annoyed that I was like that it is kinda awesome...I mean there are people that I never would have talked to before but we read the books together and now I can pretty much talk to them about anything.  I mean I was not very close to the girl that told me to read it. I had never heard of it and she had not either but started reading it. She worked with me and knew that I read a lot so she told me that she needed to talk about it with someone. Our whole office (Darra included) pretty much cast the whole movie...we had 50 Shades time each morning to discuss the book and where everyone was in it...we went online and found the apartment building he lived in and looked at the floor plans...I mean we did all the crazy and had a blast doing it.  Personally, I have tried to go back and reread the books to see if I really liked them or if it was just a craze and I cannot get back into it...and I have heard other people say the same...

So Jamie--there is light at the end of the tunnel  and you will eventually get over the break up ;-)

Jamie's Grey

Now I can't judge anybody on their obsessions b/c I am in the middle of one that apparently isn't going away anytime soon.  If you follow my posts you know that a couple of weeks ago I read Taking Chances by Molly McAdams. I am STILL all about CHASE!!!! I mean I never really got on board with Brandon and I understand why she picked him in the beginning but SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!  You may also know that Molly is writing Chase's POV and it comes out in June (there is some definite squealing going on in my head right now).  I can only imagine how much worse I am going to be after reading that book. I mean OMG I am already 120% on TEAM CHASE how am I going to survive his book!!!!!!!!! (and yes I have no self control and have looked at ALL 4 teasers--I really am ashamed of myself)  I also stalk Twitter and Pinterest for anything on this book....

SOOOOOOOOOOO...you tell me....what book/guy has had you all worked up and OBSESSED to the point of distraction?  I mean I have read several books since Taking Chances and I am still having issues...and the annoying thing is Molly McAdams wrote the 100% PERFECT guy for me in From Ashes....I mean GAGE IS FREAKING PERFECT (except he should have been blond hair blue eyes but hey no complaints). I mean cowboy, drives a truck, lived in Austin, owns a ranch, isn't afraid to work, loves being outside...I could go on forever...so WHY am I so into CHASE????? I don't know...I am rereading Captive in the Dark to try to offset it...I told Jamie to read it too...we are going to see if she does and if Caleb can get her off (heehee that's what she said) of Christian :)

When we Collide by A.L. Jackson

I am going to explain this book in one word. Intense. Each emotion is described in detail. It begins with a man named William and his extravagent but lack luster life. He hates his wife and his job. How did he end up here? And why can't he stop thinking about the one love he lost?

Just as he questions himself, he gets a call from his brother that their Aunt is dying and he needs to come home to say his goodbyes. It has been six years since he has been home. Because of her. However he goes to see his Aunt before her passing.

Maggie has been in the same vile relationship with Troy for many years. She goes from having a terrible, abusive home life to another one that she is physically abused each week. The one thing that keeps her going is her one reason for living, her son. Maggie also cannot forget the only person that holds her heart, William. Despite being afraid of going to William's mother house, she ends up going to give her condolenses anyways. But her son, Jonathan runs into William. William is lost, the child looks just like him. He has been dreaming of him for years. He goes downstairs to see Maggie running out with her son. He catches up to ask her why. Why did she not tell him? She tells him a lie and says Jonathan is not his son. The less he knows, the better.

William made the decision to stay. He can't leave here again. Because of his his family, the nothingness of his life back in L.A. and he can't lose her again. He decides he is not leaving like he had before. Nothing is going keep her from him. The details of what happened with her life after he left are unbelievable. He must get her away from Troy.

The book goes into details of how they got together. How their relationship was kept secret and how it ended. And what needs to be done to get her out of that relationship and try to get to know his son.

I would hate to tell you more because it would give it all away. But there is a love, sadness, anger, deception, but what is most important, happiness.

I enjoyed the book. Well writen. Check it out:

Taking Chances #2 Review

So Sunny already did her review for this book. I finally gave in and read it. I have never been so pissed that she had me read this book! It is not that the book was bad, it was the person who dies in the book. WTF! And sadly I cried. Yes, tears rolling down my face. That took a shot at my ego. I usually leave the crying to Sunny, but this time she got me!!!!

You have read her, you know the story line. If you haven't figured it out, the picture above is what tattoo's they got. It was a long book. I don't know why. Crazy things happen, love story, blah, blah, blah. But I think they were too lovey dovey too long in the book.

Everyone loves the guy that has a sweet streak but is an asshole too. It is what it is. I don't think that there was enough balance for me personally.

However many women will like this book. The guys were hot which is always a plus.

Neverfall by Brodi Ashton

As you have seen, I have read Everneath and Everbound. I was suppose to read Everbound after this book. Oops! Neverfall is Cole's point of view and the relationship he has with Nikki. He is the guy that takes her down to Hades for a century and feeds off of her. Sounds worse saying like that.

Anyways, it is like her other books. It goes back and forth, one chapter of current time. The other chapter is from the past. This includes when he first meets Nikki. He was trying to figure out how she stayed young and the same when they went back up. He went to England to meet with the Delphinians. This is a group of people that were outcasted by the queen because she feared they would have too much power. They are all mutilated when the Queen burned their faces.

This is a whole lot of jacked up. Cole ends up getting put in prison where there were rats coming in the middle of the night to chew on him. DISTURBING!!!

He gets out obviously. I can't say anymore. Despite that he took her down and fed off of her and then tricked her in Everbound, I still have love for him. He loved Nikki and it was so sad that she did not return the feelings.
I heart Cole!

Read it if you read the other books. It is worthy.

Where I am

Hola!

So I have been reading Taking Chances. Sunny already read it, but I am just getting to it. I had to read Neverfall, which is Cole's POV book. I love him despite I should not! I think that I need to review that one. Than I read Wait For You by Jennifer Armentrout.

Anyways, back to me. ;-) Reading Taking Chances which feels like I have been reading it forever! Like a whole 4 days! I have 30 pages left. I will write a short review on this since Sunny has already briefed you.

Tomorrow or later tonight I will be reading When We Collide. So expect that review this weekend. It looks like it will be different than most of the stories I read. Excited.

Peace Peeps!
