August Beach Reads Hop 2015

Beach-Reads-in-August-Hop

Who does't love to read on the beach? Just until your eyes get heavy and you can drift off into sleep and dream of the characters you've just been with in your story. Contemporary romances are my personal favorites when sunbathing, which is the reason I am offering one up for grabs in this hop!

Choose New Adult

Dance_For_Me In_Harmony Punching and Kissing

I loved In Harmony, am determined to read the rest of her books soon, and I'd like her to gain some more amazing fans. =) You can pick one of those three, I recommend starting with Dance For Me, though.

or Adult

She's one of my favorite adult romance authors. She really knows how to team up cute pairs, add a bit of suspense and drama. I'm currently on her Ultimate series, and I love it to pieces! She's getting better and better with her characters and series flow. =)

Swoon Thursday (39) - Wish For Me

swoon-wolves

The ladies over at YA Bound created a sexy meme where you share what made you tingle in your current read.

I'm swooning over...

Wish For Me cover Wish For Me
(The Djinn Order 1) by A. Star

"Are you ashamed of your body?"
I blanched. "What?"
"Why do you not want me to see you?"
"I'm not hiding my body from you, Irving. I'm not ashamed of how I look."
"Good. Then do as you're told and get naked. Now."
That confirmed it. I wasn't the master in this situation. Irving had given me an order and he fully expected me to obey. And I wanted to obey.

So the hotness is also a bit on the hash side, just like their usual snarky banter is, and while there is a sweet and/or shy moment in between, being all clammed up all of a sudden would suit neither of those two. There's a slice of kink, since Glory lets Irving play the master card in the bedroom, but mostly not, and vivid enough.

Teaser Tuesday (78) - Wish For Me & Beautiful Curse

July 28, 2015 07:42 / 9 Comments / Caro

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jenn at A Daily Rhythm.

Wish For Me cover Wish For Me
(The Djinn Order 1) by A. Star

"Woman, you should come with a warning label. Don't fuck with me. No one will find your body."

"This is the single most fantastic thing I've ever seen!"
He leaned down to kiss me. "My raptor is pleased with your compliment."

I had a lot of laughs with these two, since they are both quite snarky. Not to mention the hotness *swoons*, but there's also some cuteness in between.
