In Flight (Up in the Air #1)

16134782Book: In Flight (Up in the Air #1)
Author: R.K. Lilley
Publication: October 20th 2012
Genre: Adult, erotica, bdsm, romance, contemporary romance
Synopsis: When reserved flight attendant Bianca gets one look at billionaire hotel owner James Cavendish, she loses all of her hard-won composure. For a girl who can easily juggle a tray of champagne flutes at 35,000 feet in three inch heels, she finds herself shockingly weak-kneed from their first encounter. The normally unruffled Bianca can't seem to look away from his electrifying turquoise gaze. They hold a challenge, and a promise, that she finds impossible to resist, and she is a girl who is used to saying no and meaning it.

Bianca is accustomed to dealing with supermodels and movie stars in her job as a first class flight attendant, but James Cavendish puts them all to shame in the looks department. If only it were just his looks that she found so irresistible about the intimidating man, Bianca could have ignored his attentions. But what tempts her like never before is the dominant pull he seems to have over her from the moment they meet, and the promise of pleasure, and pain, that she reads in his eyes.
This book is intended for ages 18 and up. 


My thoughts:

This book was just an good book. I am not a girl who reads so much about bdsm and erotica book I mean I have to be in the mood for it but I really did enjoy reading this book. This book had me swoon most of the time. I really liked James he could be real romantic at times.

James is perfect and the stuff he says has me swooning from the beginning of the book. Bianca had a bad past and has a tortured soul and she is having a harder time getting her feelings out because she scared her past might ruin it, even though we know her feelings for James.
 One of my favorite parts from the book: "I'm going to ruin you." he breathed. "I'll be your first, and I'll fuck you so thoroughly that I'll be your last, too. You won't want any other man after I've gotten my hands on you. Ever last inch of you."

This book could have been more longer and given more detail about there past but you cant change anything about it now. This book had me torn a lot of times that why it's not a 5 star because you feeling one thing and the next thing you know you jump into another feeling but I do wish there was a bit more dialogue between James and Stephan.

A groundbreaking novel in the New Adult genre, Easy faces one girl's struggle to regain the trust she's lost, find the inner strength to fight back against an attacker, and accept the peace she finds in the arms of a secretive boy


My Thoughts:
“Choosing to be with you isn't a difficult decision, Jacqueline," he breathed, pulling back one final time to stare into my eyes. "It's easy. Incredibly easy.” 
This book was breathtakingly beautiful. This book was all sexy and sweet and innocent and very steamy all in one go. Tammara knows how to write a story that kept you on your edge of the seat the whole time. This book stars very vivid and in a cruel kin off way where Jacqueline nearly gets raped, but some one saves her from the guy. She never saw him in school but after she nearly was raped she see him now everywhere.

“Love is not the absence of logic
but logic examined and recalculated
heated and curved to fit
inside the contours of the heart”

Lucas knew her from her Econ class and he liked her before she even knew about him, He liked that she was real and not like the rest of the collage girls. Lucas is what you would call a bad boy with tattoos and a lipring but  he is smoking hot. Lucas also has secrets that he kept from Jacqueline because he was scared to loose her like he lost his mom. 

Jacqueline was suppose to use him as her rebound guy but somehow she fell in love with him. The plan started off well but it all changed when she could only think about him and where she tries to figure out about his past why he does all the jobs he has. She found out that he was lying to her about the tutor thing but that worked out quite well in the end. When Jacqueline told her best friend about what Buck did to her she was so pissed that she broke up with her boyfriend because her boyfriend did not believe Erin. Erin signed them up for self defenses classes and Lucas was also a teacher there helping girls learn self defense. 

“The night we met-I'm not like that guy." His jaw was rigid."I know tha-" He placed a finger over my lips, his expression softening."So I don't want you to feel pressured. Or overpowered. But I do, absolutely, want to kiss you right now. Badly.” 
What I loved about this book is it never got boring. You always wanted to know what will happen to Buck if anybody stopped him. I also loved it that Jacqueline fell in love with two guys but actually those to guys was just one person just different parts of him. What I did not like about it is she went to go and pry about Lucas's past and she nearly lost him because of it but what I love about Lucas is how protective he is of the people he loves. This book was one of my favorites and I would recommend it to all but just to let you know it is not a dark story there is not a lot of rape if you all think this is all to do about rape then you wrong I really would say this is a nice romantic story of people finding each other.

 “I noticed you the first week. Not just because of how pretty you are, though of course, that played into it. It was the way you lean onto your elbows when you 're listening in class, when something catches your interest. And when you laugh, it's never to get attention, it's just-laughter. The way you obssevively tuck your hair behind your ear on the left side, but let the right side fall down like a screen. And when you 're bored, you tap your foot soundlessly and move your fingers on the desktop like you 're playing an instrument. I wanted to sketch you.”

Cover Reveal: Beautiful Oblivion (Maddox Brothers #1)


The Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster phenomenon continues in the first heart-pounding new adult romance in The Maddox Brothers series.

Fiercely independent Camille "Cami" Camlin gladly moved on from her childhood before it was over. She has held down a job since before she could drive, and moved into her own apartment after her freshman year of college. Now tending bar at The Red Door, Cami doesn’t have time for much else besides work and classes, until a trip to see her boyfriend is cancelled, leaving her with a first weekend off in almost a year.

Trenton Maddox was the king of Eastern State University, dating co-eds before he even graduated high school. His friends wanted to be him, and women wanted to tame him, but after a tragic accident turned his world upside down, Trenton leaves campus to come to grips with the crushing guilt. 

Eighteen months later, Trenton is living at home with his widower father, and works full-time at a local tattoo parlor to help with the bills. Just when he thinks his life is returning to normal, he notices Cami sitting alone at a table at The Red. 

As the baby sister of four rowdy brothers, Cami believes she’ll have no problem keeping her new friendship with Trenton Maddox strictly platonic. But when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever—even if she is the only reason their already broken family could fall apart.

In the first installment of the Maddox Brothers books, readers can experience the rush of reading Beautiful Disaster for the first time, all over again.

Don't you all think this cover is just wow!
This book will be released on the 1st of July and I am already counting down the days to read about more Maddox brothers.

The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never #1)

17726746Book: The Edge of Never (The Edge of Never #1)
Author: J. A. Redmerski
Publication:July 4th 2013 
Genre: Romance, Contemporary Romance, Young Adult, New Adult, Chick Lit
Synopsis: Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett thought she knew exactly where her life was going. But after a wild night at the hottest club in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, she shocks everyone-including herself-when she decides to leave the only life she's ever known and set out on her own. Grabbing her purse and her cell phone, Camryn boards a Greyhound bus ready to find herself. Instead, she finds Andrew Parrish.

Sexy and exciting, Andrew lives life like there is no tomorrow. He persuades Camryn to do things she never thought she would and shows her how to give in to her deepest, most forbidden desires. Soon he becomes the center of her daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But there is more to Andrew than Camryn realizes. Will his secret push them inseparably together-or destroy them forever?

MY THOUGHTS:

This book like the first time I read it last year was just as amazing as last year. I loved reading the book the first time and I still love it. I can say this book was sexy, fun read and also heartbreaking at the end and it was sweet. I love to say that I would read it again because I will I don't have a lot of books that I would reread over and over again but this book is one book that I will always make time to reread again and again.

“Everybody starts out as strangers.” 

This book is in both Andrew's and Camryn's point of view so you can see what both of them are thinking. Though it's been told more in Camryn's point of view so I loved it every time I read Andrews pov because I love to read and see what the guy thinks about the girl. I really loved that Andrew could make Camryn feel alive for the first time in her life. Camryn was broken and her fixed her in a way that no one else could but Andrew had a secret that nearly made Cam loose him. Cam made it the best few weeks of his life and he fell in love with her since the beginning but both of them weren't ready to be together. Andrew nearly walked away from her before she could say that she wants to be his but it all ended up quite well in the end where they started dating.

“I know you lost your partner in crime, but...I want YOU to be MINE. Maybe WE should travel the world together, Camryn...I know I can't replace your ex--"
"Andrew...it was always you.”

AT the end of the book I was crying like a baby even though I already new what will happen I still cried. It hurt my heart to read what was happening to the two and Camryn reacted when this happened The letter he wrote for Cam really did break my heart and like before after I finished readying the book I had to stare out in space for a while just to get control over my feelings again. Like I said before this is the best book I have ever read and I would reread it again anytime.

 “Never hold back...be sure to do what you want in life, say what you feel and never be afraid to be yourself. Fuck what everybody else thinks. You're living for you, not them.”

Cursed

CursedBook: Cursed
Publication: September 18th 2012 by Spencer Hill Press
Genre: Paranormal, young adult, ya, fantasy, romance
Synopsis: Dying sucks
...and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand.

After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows.

Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he's a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she's more than interested. There's just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out. However, she's willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't?

But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not've been an accident at all, she's not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not only her heart, but her life.

For real this time
MY THOUGHTS:
This book was a real good book, but somehow I expected a tiny bit more from JLA. I can say like in all her books Hayden was so drool worthy and hot. Cursed was on my to read list for nearly more than a year so when I was in the mood to read it I really did enjoy the book.

Jennifer always knows how to write books I mean she knows how to keep your attention most of the time and that’s what I like about her books. I could not give this book 5 stars like I give all her books because somehow I expected a tiny bit more ( I already said that I know) that’s why I give a 4 star because it was nearly perfect.
“Listen to me, Ember. I couldn’t hurt you. I can’t.” Hayden settled his eyes on me. They were softer than I’d ever seen. “I love you— I’ve loved you since the first time I saw you.” 


Now what is this book about? Well it’s about a very strong heroine who died but her baby sister could not lose her so she brought her back from the dead but when that happened she got this power of death. Now what does that mean? It means that if Ember ever touches anybody or anything by accident or on purpose the die, it’s not something she can switch of or that’s what she thought.  Hayden and his family new about Olivia(her younger sister) and later they found out about Ember. They all left the girls alone until one day somehow touched Ember’s skin. Now that means that the guy died. Hayden and his family had to step in, take them to a place where people like them lived people with power just like Olivia and Ember.
“Hunger gnawed at my stomach, but I was afraid someone would be in the kitchen again. So I found myself staring at the front door. Freedom seemed just a doorknob-turn away.
When I did open the door, freedom didn't wait — a half-naked Hayden did.” 
Olivia loves their new home but Ember didn’t because she did not trust anyone there. Nobody wanted her there either everyone was scared of her everyone except Hayden who fell in love with her while he was spying on her and everyone in the house new it. His dad told Hayden to stay away from her but he never listened and also Hayden is the only person she can touch because of his power that kicks in and saves him before Ember’s powers kills him. They can touch each other for a few seconds. Hayden decided he will help her find out how to control her powers more.  She was starting to control it perfectly well after a lot of practise and after that she and Hayden became closer than ever.
“Hayden’s gaze fell to my lips. 
My heart did a stupid little jump that made me all warm and fuzzy. He liked me— really liked me. Even after seeing my scars. It was like hitting the jackpot of awesome guys.”

I loved the ending of the book because it was fast paced and she trusted the wrong person at the end that nearly cost her life, but the people that she thought she could never trust saved her life. Hayden did everything he could to keep her save and that’s also what his father is doing now to. She now feels that she has a family again and not just has Olivia but everyone else is also there for her. It just took a while for her to figure it out. I would like it if JLA would write another story of all of them maybe where Ember learns to completely control her powers maybe where she can switch it on or off so she can feel like a normal person again.

Cover Reveal: Bang by E.K. Blair

I am so excited to share the super sexy cover of E.K. Blair’s intriguing new book, Bang! This is the first book in the series, The Black Lotus, and it’s been called a psychosexual suspense and romance novel and I, for one, cannot wait to see what it’s all about! Release date is May 22nd.
http://vilmasbookblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/bang.png

Synopsis

They say when you take revenge against another you lose a part of your innocence.
But I’m not innocent.
I haven’t been for a very long time.
My innocence was stolen from me. Taken was the life I was supposed to have. The soul I was born with. The ruby heart embedded in a life full of hopes and dreams.

Gone.
Vanished.

I never even had a choice.
I mourn that life. Mourn the what-ifs.
Until now.
I’m ready to take back what was always meant to be mine.

But every plan has a fatal flaw. Sometimes it’s the heart.




Excerpt

In an instant, he’s crouched down before me, hands spreading me open wider before dipping his tongue inside me. I continue massaging myself as he laps me up like I’m the only one who can quench his thirst. He sickens me, and as soon as I feel the swirl of hate manifest, I turn every part of me off and simply go through the movements I know he likes. I’m a well-oiled machine at this point, flawless in my performance.

He has no idea that I’m the poison in his bones, making my home in his soul. I’ve crept under his skin, and he never suspected a thing other than everything I’ve wanted him to, but he’s made my life a hell, and payback is a wicked bitch that comes in the form of me. I’m the devil seeped within the cracks of him. What he doesn’t know, is that it’s because of him that I am what I am, and he’s fallen into the cobwebs of my lies like a fool. I guess I should love him for that, because when he least suspects it, he’s going to give me everything I’ve been seeking—vengeance.

Opposition Teaser

Jennifer has just started with her final edits of Opposition the final book of the Lux series and she decided to mess with the readers a bit.

So what do you think? I'm wondering whats happening right!?
August really needs to come already!
What is your thoughts about it?

A Beautiful Wedding (Beautiful #2.5)

18808903Book: A Beautiful Wedding (Beautiful #2.5)
Author: Jamie McGuire
Publication: December 10th 2013
Genre: New Adult, Young Adult, Contemporary romance, chick lit.
Synopsis:You know that Abby Abernathy unexpectedly became Mrs. Maddox. But what do you really know?

Why did Abby pop the question?
What secrets were shared before the ceremony?
Where did they spend their wedding night?
Who else knew about it . . . and didn’t tell?

Everything about Abby and Travis’s elopement was top-secret . . . until now. Fans of Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster will get all of their questions answered in this whirlwind tale of the wedding day (and night!)—and as with all good stories, this one will definitely have been worth the wait.



My Thoughts:
This book was sweet and loving. Romantic in ways and I always will Love Travis Maddox. He is a huge book boyfriend for me. 

Even though its been a while since I have read Beautiful Disaster, I reconnected with the characters from the very start. This story is told in both Travis and Abby's pov. What I did not like about this book is the actual reason why Abby wanted to marry Travis. I was kind pissed at her for wanting to marry him for that reason. This book takes us through there wedding what they did and thought. What I really loved about this book is how strongly Travis loved Abby and how strongly she loved him. Yes the reason why she wanted to marry him was one thing I hated about her but she loved him so much that she married him even though she had this fear of marrying so young. 
“By anyone’s standards, we were too young to get married, too unpredictable. How many times had we hurt one another along the way, screamed at each other one minute and fallen into bed together the next? But… I looked at him, resolute. He was mine, and I was his. If I knew anything at all, it was that only those two things mattered.”
 Their texts were adorable (“I look ducking amazing.”), that gorgeous letter totally made me cry (and the kiss after *clutches heart*), the ceremony had me smiling from ear to ear (you’re going to love what Travis says!), their wedding night was just perfect (*fans self*), the tattoo parlor was hilarious (seriously, LOL Travis!!), oh and don’t even get me started on the bachelor party and I really cant wait to read more about the Maddox men. This book was really nice but because of the reason why Abby first wanted to marry Travis means that I gave to give this book only 3 stars. 

Red at Night (Harlequin More Than Words)

18808865Book: Red at Night (Harlequin More Than Words)
Author:
Publication:April 1st 2014
Genre:Young Adult, romance, short story, novella, chick lit, Contemporary romance
SynopsisIn Red at Night, Stella and Jonah are total opposites. She's the girl with purple hair from the wrong part of town. He's a high school senior who hangs with the cool crowd. Until a car accident leaves him haunted by guilt, and Jonah starts spending time at Stella's favorite refuge…the local cemetery.

Stella knows she should keep her distance—after all, she spent her girlhood being bullied by Jonah's friends. Once he's sorted out his tangled emotions, Jonah won't have time for her anymore. Too bad she's already fallen for him.
MY THOUGHTS:

This book was beautiful and I loved every moment of it. Katie McGarry is one of my favorite authors and when I saw what inspired the book I thought that was the sweetest thing ever. Thats why this book deserves a 5 star.
"See how the leaves turn up?" Rick points to the maple near Lydia's grave. "That means a storm's coming - a bad one." "A storm's always coming," I state. "Some don't have rain."
 Jonah and Stella's story put a huge smile to my face. This book was really sweet and it's true to the fact how a lot of fosterkids feel. These two helped each other out and I loved reading this book as much as I loved all of Katie's books. Katie just knows how to write romance books thats sweet and what might happen in real life. 
After our kiss, we watched the sunset in silence. "The sky was red," she whispers. "Yeah." It was possibly the most beautiful sunset I've seen. "That means there shouldn't be a storm." But there's doubt in her voice and somehow I don't feel like she's referring to the weather.
