          Highway
Author: Sara Gran
Genre: Noir Mystery
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin
Pub Date: June 2013

Our thoughts...



Claire DeWitt lives a life lacking shame. Or perhaps, it is just the opposite. Perhaps she just wants us to believe she is shameless in order to allow her to believe it herself, to care less about herself and those around her.

Review: Nine Minutes by Beth Flynn

Title: Nine Minutes
Author: Beth Flynn

Genre: Dark Romance
Publisher: Beth Flynn

Pub Date: July 23, 2014
Rating: 5 Stars

Our thoughts...
  

Where do I even begin with this book? Nine Minutes is a story filled with well developed and complex characters that you'll hate and love. This isn't your typical biker story. This is Ginny's story. This is a unconventional love story and I fell in love.

Exclusive Excerpt from Grizz's POV and Signed Paperback Giveaway



May 15, 1975
“I’m tired of hearing it. He should have thought of that before he agreed to my terms. Take care of it. Nobody fucks with me. Nobody!”
I was angry and I slammed down the phone. Another asshole who should’ve known who he was dealing with. I grabbed a beer and sat in my recliner and reflected on the last few days.
     I had taken Monster on a little ride. I was driving one of my old beater cars. A car that wouldn’t draw any notice. We sat in the parking lot of a drug store across from her bus stop. I watched as she got off the bus and walked toward Smitty’s. 
“That girl that just stepped off the bus,” I nodded toward her. “I want her and you will get her for me.” 
Monster didn’t ask why. He knew better.

K.A Linde took what is 100% a cliché story and intertwined it with her beautiful writing and created a not so cliché story. ←Like that makes any sense.

I thought about having a little fun with this giveaway, and wanted to make sure I did something a little different.  There will be two random winners to be picked at 7 pm cst with their choice of any of my top 2014 picks.

Confession Time.....



I wanted to end this day with confessing something to our readers as well as talking about one of our features I am most excited about. Ok, confession time - I honestly don't know how many books are on my TBR list.  I was using the Goodreads feature to import my Amazon ebook purchases and at one point, my TBR list was in the 800's and I am still not done.  What is the cause of this supersized TBR list?  I can only blame it on my one-click addiction. If I continue on this path, my TBR list will outlive me. Someone in my family will then inherit my TBR list, and I am afraid they will not be able to handle it.  

Book and Wine Pairing & Giveaway

It is no secret, I enjoy wine.  One of my favorite things to do in the evening  is curl up on my couch with a glass of wine and and the latest book I am reading.  One evening,  I thought about how food and wine are paired together and wondered if this is something that could be done with books.

Our thoughts...
  

When I first meet Harlow in the Sweet Filthy Boy, I fell in love with her instantly and could not wait to read her story.  Don’t get me wrong, I liked Mia, but I felt connection with Harlow.  She is a chick I could get Starbucks with and would tell me if my butt looked big in my skinny jeans.  (She would be my SSS - sassy soul sister.)
