Review: Captivate (Submerged #1) by Vanessa Garden

Genre: YA

Pages: 304

Buy Links: Amazon

~Summary~

In a glittering underwater world, nothing is as it seems...

For the past twelve months since her parents’ death, seventeen-year-old Miranda Sun has harboured a dark secret — a secret that has strained the close relationship she once shared with her older sister, Lauren. In an effort to repair this broken bond, Miranda’s grandparents whisk the siblings away on a secluded beach holiday. Except before Miranda gets a chance to confess her life-changing secret, she’s dragged underwater by a mysterious stranger while taking a midnight swim.

Awakening days later, Miranda discovers that she’s being held captive in a glittering underwater city by an arrogant young man named Marko...the King of this underwater civilisation.

Nineteen-year-old Marko intends to marry Miranda in order to keep his crown from falling into the sinister clutches of his half-brother, Damir. There’s only one problem. Miranda is desperate to return home to right things with her sister and she wants nothing to do with Marko. Trying to secure her freedom, Miranda quickly forms an alliance with Robbie — Marko’s personal guard. However, she soon discovers that even underwater, people are hiding dangerous secrets...

~My Review~

*ARC Provided by NetGalley*

The book starts out with Miranda, who is at the beach with her family. We instantly learn that Miranda and sister, Lauren, have been through a tragedy. Since the death of her parents, Miranda has been holding onto a secret that is eating away at her. That night she goes out for a swim with her sister, she is pulled underneath the water. Miranda wakes up somewhere that she doesn’t recognize. There she meets Robbie. Eventually, Miranda finds out that she is in an underwater city that is miles and miles down into the ocean. But this is no ordinary underwater city. In my mind I kept thinking they were mermaids….I won’t say what they are! That is something that you will have to find out lol

Marko is the king of the underwater city, he has a few siblings who are not normal, he wants to help the citizens of his city, but of course there is something that gets in his way. Marko wants to marry Miranda, in order to help his city. He and Robbie are like brothers, since they have been friends since they were kids. But since Miranda and Robbie become friends, can he trust Robbie? 

Within the first chapter, Vanessa grabs your attention, and keeps it until the end of the book. Even at the end of the book, you are going to want more! I was on the edge of my seat several times, so anxious to find out what was going on, there were even tears! Vanessa, has a way with words, the way she describes things, it’s like you are really there, feeling what they are feeling, makes me wish that this place was real. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Go forth and buy the book!!!

I give it:

Cover Reveal: Playing Hooky by Rita Webb

Title: Playing Hooky
Author: Rita Webb
Genre: New Adult Paranormal Romance
Series: Paranoraml Investigations


BLURB:
Sirens and love potions, witches and elves, and Valentine kisses.
Nothing will be the same for Emma again.

Valentine’s Day.

And Emma's 21st birthday.

Just another college day full of classes and more homework than is humanly
possible.

…until Jason, her best-friend-since-kindergarten, shows up to take her out
for the day.

Like old times: the two of them on a wacky adventure, playing hooky from
real life. With his lopsided grin and tickets to a circus full of misfits
and monsters, he introduces her to a whole new world—one full of magic
and mystery —and turns her reality upside down.

Leaving the house to go to school, I had schoolbooks spilling out of one

hand, the other holding my place in a Nancy Drew novel, and bunny slippers

still on my feet. My mom was a wee bit upset.

I haven't changed much. Still always have a book (or two) in my hand or

creating stories in my head, and although I don't have any bunny slippers,

I love writing in my jammies and snuggly slipper socks.

With my husband TJ (my own cuddly werewolf), I home-school our three

girls, who keep us busy with art, science projects, books to read, dance

classes, and walks about the park.

Event organized by: Literati Author Services, Inc.

 

Synopsis

In Hardpressed, the highly anticipated second book of the Hacker Series that began with Hardwired, Blake and Erica face threats that put both their love and their lives on the line. Despite Blake Landon’s controlling ways, the young and wealthy hacker finally won the trust of the woman he loves. Internet entrepreneur Erica Hathaway broke down the walls that kept her from opening her heart and her business to Blake.

But when demons from her past threaten their future, Erica makes a decision that could change their lives forever.

HARDPRESSED – EXCERPT TWO

“Hey.” He caught my chin, turning me toward him. “I’m proud of you.”

“For what? Roping you in for four million dollars?”

He laughed. “If that was all part of your master plan, then yes, I’m extremely proud, because I never saw that coming.”

I smirked despite myself. I would have done just about anything to avoid taking his money, and he knew it.

“Seriously though, this is a big step. I want you to remember to enjoy the moment.”

And I did just that. Being with Blake made every moment just a little sweeter. A lot sweeter. He gave everything a kind of wonder that made me question how I’d ever survived the tedious existence I called life before he walked in and turned everything upside down.

“I am, thanks to you.” I leaned in closer and met his lips.

He cradled my face in his palm and traced his tongue along my lips, coaxing them open, dipping into my mouth with soft lashes of his tongue.

“Aren’t you going to ask me what’s in the bag?”

I pulled back a fraction, breathless and a little dazed on his taste and scent. Clean, rough, and masculine, uniquely Blake. He turned away and unpacked the contents of the brown bag. He set out a container of strawberries, whipped cream, and a small glass jar of gourmet chocolate sauce.

“What kind of picnic did you have in mind?”

He held up the glass jar. “They drizzle this amazing chocolate sauce on the lattes and confections downstairs. I guess it’s not for sale, but when I politely explained to them that I’d be licking it off your naked body to christen the new office, they finally obliged.”

I giggled and tried to imagine that unlikely conversation between him and Simone. He twisted the lid off and offered it to me. I dipped my finger in the chocolate and then into my mouth. The chocolate coated my tongue, the taste decadent and divine, the experience only heightened by the surety that Blake would be making good on his plans shortly.

“I thought you were opposed to office nooky,” I said.

“This is your office. Different rules.”

“Which I see you’re already making.” I dipped my finger through the chocolate sauce again, but before I could make it to my mouth, Blake pulled it swiftly into his and tongued my fingertip suggestively.

“Take your shirt off and lie down.”

I grinned and rose slowly to my knees, pulling my tank top off. “You’re bossy today.”

He pulled a black silk mask out of the bag and slipped it over my eyes. “It’s not a mood, baby. It’s who I am. You'd do well to remember that.”

Review: The Hunted One(End of Days #1) by Meg Collett

Genre: NA(New Adult)

Pages: 303
Links: Amazon

Summary: 

The fallen have trespassed into Heaven for the first time in eternity. Prepared for battle, Michaela and her Archangels open Heaven’s gates to confront the fallen. Only, Michaela’s Archangels—her brothers and sisters in Heaven—betray her. And when the fallen attack the sanctuary in the skies through the gates Michaela inadvertently left open, the holy angels accuse Michaela of planning the invasion.

One simple mistake with a thousand consequences.

Dragged to Earth by an Archangel turned fallen, Michaela will do anything to return to Heaven and save it. In her fervor, she kills the Archangel—something no angel has ever done before. Wingless, without any hope, Michaela welcomes death when an unlikely human ally, Clark, finds her. With the help of Clark and Gabriel, an innocent Archangel whose friendship deepens into something far more torrid and unexpected on Earth, Michaela must prove the holy angels have their own plan for Heaven, and it is one that may prove to be the End of the Days.

It may be too late to save herself, but Michaela is the only one who knows the truth about the holy angels. If she fails, she may never be able to return to Heaven. But even that may be a hopeless dream.

My Review:

I won this book, from a giveaway that the author Meg Collett, had going on. This book was on my TBR for a while. Thank you, Meg! 

For certain reasons, I am very picky about books that are about angels. But I knew from the moment I read the blurb, I would love it! And I was right! I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!! I have a top 20 list of books, that I LOVE and will forever have a place in my heart, this book is on that list!!!!! So HAPPY that it will be a series! I NEED MORE! 

First we meet Michaela, who is a very powerful angel. When something happens to heaven, Michaela, has to be to protect it, which means that sometimes mistakes happen, and Michaela makes a mistake(or did she? Hehehe) she has to pay the price for something that is not in her control. Of course, Michaela the most prettiest angel, has to have that special someone who is connected with her, that guy is, or should I say that angel is Gabriel. Not going to lie, Gabriel sounded HOT! The protector, do anything for Michaela, even if that means that he has suffer, big time! 

Since Michaela was brought to earth by one of the Archangels, she is saved by Clark! Forget about Gabriel, I want more CLARK! Lucky, Michaela gets to have Clark help her, and even though he can’t fight like Michaela can, Clark is one BADASS guy! He is not afraid, he does have his own issues (I mean, who doesn’t?) you can’t help but to love him! 

For this being Meg Collett’s for first book, she did a wonderful job! Her writing will suck you in, and you won’t want to leave! If you like books that capture your attention from the beginning, then this the book for you!

I give it:

Blog Tour: Rockin' The Heart by Gracen Miller(Excerpt + GIVEAWAY!)

BLURB:

If music nourishes the soul…

Loved by millions, but shunned by blood, Heath “Fang” Fangor has led his band, Hot Wired, to the top while others have fallen by the wayside. He devoted his life to music, and from that devotion harvested a new family—his band mates and fans.

A man can desire nothing else…or can he?

Living in the shadow of her brother’s fame sucks! Sam Collins is desperate to have what she wants—a simple and uncomplicated life. She’s no stranger to scandals and how they work. Now that she’s inadvertently dragged Fang into the center of her latest gossip, could the scandal she created in her quest for freedom have gone too far?

Amid stardom the heart stages a new melody…

Fang has more fame and fortune than he will ever need, but none of that matters if he can’t have the woman of his dreams. Years have been wasted waiting for the right moment to approach the woman his heart desires above all others. There’s just one major problem...she’s his best friend’s sister. To have her, he will have to risk it all.

One that might be responsible for Rockin the Heart!

EXCERPT:

Chapter One

Heath was a rock star god. The tight lines fanning outward from his silver eyes classified him as a pissed off rock star god.

“Wanna tell me what you did this time to get the platinum treatment?” He indicated the jail cell, while ramming his fingers through his shaggy, jet-black hair.

Preferring to shrink into the shadows and avoid a confrontation with him, Sam took a deep breath and rose from the bench. She stepped away from the metal seat to draw closer to the bars dividing them.

She’d expected her brother, Jason—Jase—to ride to her rescue. Like always. Her foundation. Predictable. Dependable. Rattled by her sibling’s abandonment, she ogled the skull on Heath’s shirt, mortification overwhelming her.

If Heath was Jase’s replacement, then he’d been serious when he said ‘don’t call me the next time you’re arrested.’ She’d assumed he yelled that in anger. She was surprised he’d bothered to offer aid at all.

Gut hollow at her brother’s desertion, she cleared the ache out of her throat and asked, “Can’t you just bail me out and we’ll forget this ever happened?”

Knowing he wouldn’t go for that suggestion, Sam swallowed hard and shuffled her feet. Disappointing Jase was one thing, but letting Heath down was an entirely different

My Review:

This book was HOT! HOT! HOT!!!!!!!! Thank you, Gracen Miller for writing this book! *bows down* I am sucker for a hot rocker, who is a bad boy! If you love a hot rocker guy, steamy book, then this is the book for you! Not only was this book hot, but it kept me on my toes most of the time, even when I thought I knew how it was going to end, I was wrong! I even cried, but it was sooooooooo good!!! 

Sam- I thought Sam was strong woman, and can get any man that she wants. People may or may not agree with me, but I feel bad for the girl, she is young and wants to live her own life, tired of being in her brothers spot light, it’s not her fault that she had to grow up in the lime light. But she is also lucky, because she has so many people that care about her. 

Heath/Fang- He is one HOT ROCKER GUY! He is one smooth guy, he knows how to make a girl melt, just by looking at her. I could not get enough of him. There is one part in the book that just made me melt, once you read that part, you will want more of him. 

Sam and Heath, have been told that they have to do something, something that may or may not help the band. Can they do it? Does it really help the band? 

This is just not your typical hot romantic story, since it’s so hard for me not to spoil it, all I can say is GO BUY IT!
