WoW #75 – Hard As It Gets & Crash Into You

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Title: Hard As It Gets
Series: Hard Ink 1
Author: Laura Kaye

Language: English
Publisher: Avon Books
Expected Publication: November 26, 2013

Summary:

Tall, dark, and lethal...
Trouble just walked into Nicholas Rixey's tattoo parlor. Becca Merritt is warm, sexy, wholesome — pure temptation to a very jaded Nick. He's left his military life behind to become co-owner of Hard Ink Tattoo, but Becca is his ex-commander's daughter. Loyalty won't let him turn her away. Lust has plenty to do with it, too.
With her brother presumed kidnapped, Becca needs Nick. She just wasn't expecting to want him so much. As their investigation turns into all-out war with an organized crime ring, only Nick can protect her. And only Becca can heal the scars no one else sees.
Desire is the easy part. Love is as hard as it gets. Good thing Nick is always up for a challenge...

Why I am lurking on this: I believe there is already some Laura Kaye on my tbr, but I'm gladly adding this to the top because it just sounds all kinds of awesome. Military, tattoos, sexy guys and determined girls. Can't wait!

Title: Crash Into You
Series: Pushing the Limits 3
Authors: Katie McGarry

Language: English
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Expected Publication: November 26, 2013

Summary:

The girl with straight As, designer clothes and the perfect life-that's who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private-school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers... and she's just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker-a guy she has no business even talking to. But when the foster kid with the tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can't get him out of her mind.
Isaiah has secrets, too. About where he lives, and how he really feels about Rachel. The last thing he needs is to get tangled up with a rich girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks-no matter how angelic she might look.
But when their shared love of street racing puts both their lives in jeopardy, they have six weeks to come up with a way out. Six weeks to discover just how far they'll go to save each other.

Why I am lurking on this: Absolutely LOVED Pushing the Limits, haven't had time for Dare You To yet, but I got approved for it and for Crash Into You on Netgalley -- trying to make this happen still in 2013!
