Why Books Made Me Become a Blogger

We usually do not post much besides our book reviews and releases. However I felt it is time you a idea of how we work/love/live as bloggers. Here is where we can tell you what makes a book memorable.

First I would like to say a huge Thank You to all the authors that want us to review your books. We truly do appreciate allowing us to take part in something that you poured your heart and soul into. I can't imagine what stress you feel having everyone critique each book you write. We both have full time jobs and wish we had more time to post each book we get can ahold off. If I had someone tell me each day what I am doing my job wrong, there would many trips to jail for causing bodily harm to others.

Sometimes when we read books, if it is a storyline very similar to a book I have read before, I may not remember it. This may not be a problem for a normal reader, but it does become an issue for people like us that read 2-3 books a week. It is so hard to imagine a plot that is distinctive including unique characters. Unfortunately it is necessary. I will not read the rest of the series or other books by an author if I don't get more than the "usual".

One way for a reader to remember a book is also the title and the cover. It is unfortunate that we base a book by its cover. However if the cover has something different to it, the book may be more noticed. Intrigued is the best way to describe it. It may have  the ugliest cover, but it is different.

BOOK COVERS:
My personal issue as of lately is book covers that have been used before or two half naked people in an awkward position with that fake look that is suppose to say "I'm hot. You want me". If an author promotes their book with erotic picture/poses with quotes, love it. It is just the automatic feeling that a book is "eh. Been there, read that". Leave the reader with something to the imagination. That characters is who I want to believe he or she looks like. Even having a book cover with a silhouette of models is better. This your form of ART!

TITLES:
If an author takes offense to this, don't. My feelings are not the same as all other readers. I have a terrible memory to what title or cover goes with which synopsis. As for the title of the book. If it ends with a "Us" or "Me", forget it. No recollection at all. Too many books with such similar titles.

SYNOPSIS:
About the synopsis of a book. Find another way to explain a characters "demons from their past". The characters dreadful early years. A rough start. A turbulent background. I do not know of anyone that would explain their childhood or relationships as "Demons".

CHARACTERS:
The Closer the characters are to a real person, the more I will enjoy the book. I need a strong person. If a character is in their 20's-later years, I can't understand how a person will stop living life because their boyfriend or girlfriend broke up with you. Cry yes, sulk for a week, yes. Dysfunctional and desperate, no bueno. Make the character the best person you know in life.

REVIEWS;
There are several other reasons why I like or dislike a book. Why I can tell you about a great book years after it is read. Reviews are a big part of how many people want to read it. To hit that buy button on Amazon or B&N or any other buy links. I read those reviews. From worst to best.
Most of the times I feel like my reviews just don't explain how much I like or dislike the book. It would be a novel(like this post). My personal feelings are: If I can help the author to get another reader to buy the book, I did my job.

We play a small role in an authors career. However if you truly make a novel that I cannot help but gab to everyone about, has made a emotional hit to my heart and a new memory in the book memory in my head, that is a trifecta of what makes a book the top of my life list.

THANK YOU ALL THAT FOLLOW THIS BLOG!

Book: Love Renewed
Series: Entwined Hearts #3
Author: Maria Macdonald
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Hosted By: Francessca’s Romance Reviews

Synopsis



Dane has only ever loved one woman in his whole life. Nova. When he lost her everything went dark, his mind, his soul, and his life. She was his light, his heart. A decade later fate plays a cruel joke bringing them back together, only to tear them apart again, when he realises she has no idea who he is. Now he has to battle, wage war, and bring grown men to their knees to get her back. The biggest fight he faces is turning away from the darkness and letting the light in.

All Libby Burchall remembers is a mediocre life, she’s just existed for over a decade. Scared of her history and confused about who she is, the safe path is the only one she’s travelled. When a face that she can’t remember breezes in from the past, calling her Nova and looking at her like she’s a ghost, it sets off a chain reaction of emotions that she can’t ever remember feeling before. Now she can’t stop seeing his eyes, hearing his voice, and being consumed by the dark, intense and insanely beautiful man that made her feel alive.

Two shattered halves of one soul. He wants her light to illuminate the never-ending darkness. She wants to run, but something keeps dragging her back.

Can they survive each other?

Excerpt

“Oh God, yes!”
I look down at the woman between my thighs and grimace. I just wanted a fuck. A release. Not her voice splitting my skull. She thinks it’s sexy. It’s not. While I bang into her over and over again I should be building up to the few seconds of pure bliss I need right now. Not thinking about how I should have gagged her.
Leaning forward over her, I slip my hand around her throat, watching as her slender neck disappears under my palm, positioning my thumb and forefinger on each side of her jaw, holding her in place. She automatically tilts her head back slightly and opens her mouth, but this time without sound. This is turning her on, which works for me because I wasn’t about to stop. I can feel her pulse through my hand and so squeeze my fingers, tightening on each thrust in. Her eyes widen and flick to the corner of my mouth then back to my eyes. I know what she sees. It’s what they all see…the only thing I allow.
Emptiness, darkness and cruelty.
They need to know. It’s who I am.
It’s who I’ll always be.
I finish up. Pulling myself out of her and out of the bed, her eyes snap open and she stares at me.
“What are you doing?” she whines.
I look over at her while pulling my jeans on. “Going home.”
“Well, you could stay?” she asks, with a smile. “We could do that again.” Her smile turns into a smirk
“No thanks,” I reply. Mentally going over the list of things I had on me and making sure I’ve got them all before leaving.
You never come back.
Never.
Rule One—If you leave your phone, wallet, house keys, etcetera, you get new ones. New phone, new wallet—Fuck! You get a new house if you have to. But you never come back. Period.
She frowns at me, I can see her brain working. “Okay, do you want to meet up later this week?” She’s grasping at straws and is sounding desperate.
“Not gonna happen. This was tonight. Just tonight. I told you when we were at the bar. This was a one-time deal. I fuck you. I leave.” My mouth twitches. “I’ve fucked you. Now I’m leaving.”
She scowls as my eyes land on my jacket.
“You complete wanker!” she shouts.
“Not sure what you expected?” I reply grabbing my jacket and heading to the bedroom door.
“Well thanks for fucking me!” she clips angrily as I walk away.
I salute her. “Pleasure babe.” Then walk out of her bedroom and her life, and I go back to feeling the cold. In more ways than one.

Darra's Review:

 



We chose this book because it was a unique synopsis. Not like what I have read before. I truly did enjoy the book. I think you learn more about the characters because of the back and forth of her life. That way you understand why she wanted to make changes for the better.

However if you think about it, so many things about your current life if you did something just a bit different when  you were younger. The books makes you think about that. All the what if's.

The only complaint I have was the ending. It was to be a cliffhanger, but it seemed to just dropped off. I reread the last few sentences because it was confusing by how it was worded. Good news is that the first chapter of the next book is included. So that made up for the odd ending.

 

I would rate the book a 4.3.

 

AUTHOR BIO

I started writing at a very young age, mostly as an escape from the real world. It is something I have done on and off throughout my life, but never went so far as to actually try and get published. 

I started my latest story, My Life As I Knew It, around 3 years ago. I was on a roll with it until I allowed life to get in the way. I am now officially picking up where I left off. It is the first book of a series on which I'm working.

I came up with the premise for this story while undergoing some pretty harsh challenges in my personal life. As mentioned before, I always liked writing as a means of escape. While going through these particularly tough times, I had a moment when I thought about what it would be like to go back in time and do certain things differently...which I'm sure almost everyone has thought about from time to time. I sat in front of my keyboard one morning, thought about what I would do if I had that chance and went from there.

Wrapped In Lace by Prescott Lane!!!

When I was a little boy, the best thing about the holiday season was unwrapping presents on Christmas morning — tearing off the paper and tossing it on the floor. Now that I’m a man, I like to unwrap slowly, deliberately, taking my time to savor what lies before me. I still like to throw the wrapping on the floor, but now I know the best gifts come wrapped in lace.

And unlike when I was a kid, I won’t get sick of this present by New Year’s. I’ll definitely be playing with this girl day after day after day. After six years avoiding my hometown, the last thing I expected when I returned was a wannabe bad girl to unwrap my heart and rip open my soul. But that’s exactly what happened. Now if I can just get the hell out of my own way, maybe I’ll finally get the best gift of all — her! Come get unwrapped by Drew this holiday.

Sunny's Review:

I liked this book. I was entertained from the first page and honestly who wouldn't want to walk into a bar and totally just not talk about their real life. Drew and Piper met and didn't give each other names and just had fun. I liked that the characters seemed real. I understand the reason Drew refused to go home and I don't blame him one bit. I loved the flirting between them and the fact that they were so comfortable with each other. There was one major issue I had with Piper. I don't want to tell you what it is but because I can't spoil it for you but luckily once it was all said and done the book was great.

 

I recommend this book if you want some pretty hot scenes and a little bit of drama. I really enjoyed it and am giving it 4.2 stars out of 5. So go get it!!!

“There was this guy.”

“OOH, a guy.”

“Shut up,” I said, laughing. “We flirted and drank all night, and he was so hot and sweet and. . . .”

“You are totally gushing over a boy. I can’t believe it.”

“I am not,” I protested, but I knew I was. “I don’t even know his name.”

“Why not?”

“I threw up before we got that far.”

Sabrina fell back on my bed laughing. “You did not.”

I hid my head back under my pillow. “I did.”

“Girl, you are hopeless,” she said, still laughing. “How hot was he?”

I came out from hiding. “Pretty damn hot.”

“As in you’d shave for him? That hot?”

“As in I’d wax for him.”

Sabrina started to fan herself, and I got up and headed to my bathroom, looking for some aspirin. “We’ve got to find this wax-worthy gentleman,” Sabrina called out.

I sat back and studied the canvas. I’d finally gotten it right — the way his lips turn up in that smile that makes both my heart and panties melt. It had taken me over a dozen tries to get it just perfect, but I finally had. Unfortunately, I didn’t feel any better. I thought if I could capture Drew’s smile on my canvas, my pain would somehow lessen. Because I’d always have his image, that his leaving me wouldn’t hurt so bad. It hadn’t worked. The pain in my heart was just as sharp, just as overwhelming as it was yesterday and the day before. I knew I’d never get over him. I knew it like I knew the deep blue color of his eyes, the rough spots on his hands. I knew it like I knew the way his lips tasted, the feel of his thick brown hair.
