COVER REVEAL for TEXT by Cambria Hebert

Total HOTNESS! OMG! Go ahead stare at it! I totally did for like a long ass time too... not really his chest either but what lies beyond! OMG Scandalous and totally perfect for this novel! (trust me, totally hot!)

TEXT BLURB
**This is a new adult novel. It contains sexual situations and graphic language. This is NOT intended for young adult readers**
 
One text can change everything.
Honor Calhoun never thought her life would ever be like the books she writes for a living. One morning while out for a run, she learns not all bad things are plots in novels. Some horrors can actually come true.
She faces off with a persistent attacker, holds her own, but in the end is taken hostage and thrown into a hole. In the middle of the woods.
But Honor didn’t go down there alone.
She took her kidnapper’s phone with her. With a spotty signal and a dying battery, her hope is slim.
Nathan Reed is an active duty Marine stationed at a small reserve base in Pennsylvania. All he wants is a calm and uneventful duty station where he can forget the memories of his time in a war-torn country.
But a single text changes everything.
Nathan becomes Honor’s only hope for survival, and he has to go against the clock, push aside his past, and take on a mission for a girl he’s never met.
Both of them want freedom… but they have to survive long enough to obtain it.

a little bit about Anchor Me, Bri's and Nate's story

Hey y'all! Now that LCB is published on Amazon, and B&N, I thought i'd share a little on their story!
Nathan Camden is a Navy SEAL and is Brianne's brothers best friend (if you've read LCB, that would be Konner). SO they've known each other for most of their lives. However, Nathan is eleven years Bri's senior. (also known in LCB). He didn't think anything of her but a little sister. That all changed when he came home from a mission and went to wish her happy birthday. The young girl he knew, blossomed into a beautiful young woman of seventeen. She's still too young for the lust and love raging inside him. So he and his SEAL team take every mission possible, only returning home when absolutely necessary and Nate does his best to avoid her.
Six years later, his best friends woman is in danger and Bri's has been dragged into it. At first glimpse, he knows he can not deny his feelings anymore. 
 
Brianne O'Brian would love nothing but to be with Nathan. But after he shuns her as nothing but a kid sister, she moves on. After a big break-up with her boyfriend, she finds herself once more looking at Nathan with stars in her eyes. When he's called away, she promises herself to him, knowing he'll come back. One fateful night, changed her life. And not for the better. She feels lost and alone.
 
They both have obstacles they have to overcome.
Can they anchor each other or will they let events keep them apart?

It's OUT!

 
They say if you love someone, you should set them free. What if, you don't have a choice? What if you're forced apart by circumstances out of your control?

Siddaleigh Carrington is a small town girl with big dreams. Konner O'Brian is a young injured Navy SEAL. Neither are looking love. But fate had other ideas.

Just as sparks ignite, Konner is called away to duty and the pair lose contact. Sidda tries to move on... with a man who isn't as he seems.

Years pass and Sidda finds herself face to face with Konner, the man she longed for but thought she would never see again. Konner soon realizes that the woman he once knew is held hostage by a painful past that only he can help her overcome.

And once she's free, Konner is hoping that their love will come back.

(Adult romance, for mature audiences due to some violent sexual content and language, and of course romantic sexual content and language.)

UNEDITED SCENE between Konner & Siddaleigh in Love Came Back, out by September 17th, or sooner if possible!

Excerpt time!!! (Unedited scene with Sidda & Konner) enjoy!!
****

He was out of sight for a few minutes and came back in with the clothes he shed last night. Laying his clothes on my vanity chair, he reached into his jacket and pulled out a small box.

Mother of Pearl. Am I breathing? Maybe that not what I think it is.

“Siddaleigh Mare Carrington, eight years ago you came into my life. It was so unexpected. I never imagined myself at that age thinking about marriage and settling down. Just a few months with you and getting to know you. I knew then what I still know now. This is right. You are the only woman I could ever give my everything to. You’re my best hope for the future. I am gonna be better than any fairy tale and better than any dream you’ll ever have had. You make me a better man. And want to be a better man. I’ll make your every dream come true. Mo chroí, mo ghrá, m’anam. My heart. My love. My soul. I’ll never stop loving you and taking care of you.  Until my last breath on this earth until we meet again in Heaven. I’m yours. Grab a hold of me and don’t let me go.”

Wow. Now that was a proposal. Eight years late, and I can laugh at that now but this was so much more. Although I let him kneel there for a good hot minutes with the most serious face I could muster. Seeing that knowing smile of his mar his face as if he knew I was faking about thinking about it made me smile in return.

“Konner, being with you is every dream come true. You’ve been mine since the day I met you babe. So since you’re insisting. Yes, Konner Patrick O’Brian. I’ll marry you and make an honest man out of you.” I laughed out loud in bliss and happiness. “Was there ever a doubt in your mind?”

He slid the two carat miracle setting diamond ring over my finger and slipped his hands /to my hips and kneaded them. Before I knew it, he rushed his hands to the bedding, gripped and I was being dragged, quilt and all, down until my hips straddled his on the floor. His lean hips and muscular thighs clenched and rubbed my naked body in just the right way. I felt myself soften as he got harder,

“Ye’re so damn stubborn Siddaleigh. Our lives were entwined over pretty much the last decade. Time don’t change that. God must have wanted us to be together because look at us now my love. It was just a long time waiting.”

He massaged my body and since I was naked I grabbed a pillow to cover myself up. I might be getting turned on right now, but I knew we needed to discuss the fucked-up-ness that’s become my life as of late.

“Now that we established ownership of each other. Let’s talk about these threats.”

Tapping me lightly on my rear, he took me off him and I sat quietly beside him as he got up, still naked. Still hard. Seeing his member jut and bob made me flustered.

Dear Lord in Heaven that man was built like a brick wall and he is all mine.
I felt like dancing and hopping up in ecstasy.

“Dang it Konner! Who knew a naked male body would turn me on like wild fire? Put some dang clothes on already. I’m burning up over here.”

Konner stopped, turned and raised an eyebrow in speculation.

“You won’t get none of this fire right now mo ghrá, until I get fed and go over these with you. Also, if I remember correctly, I technically haven’t taken ye on a proper first date. So me,” he pointed to himself, then me, “you, are going to dinner. Dancing, because I wanna sway with ye on a nice wooden dance floor. So keep that in mind. Get all dolled up or whatever you wanna do, and I’m taking you out tonight. Since it’s still early, after talking this out with the girls, which won’t take long, I’m gonna go check on some clients for my uncle. I should be done by five. That gives you til six to be ready for me.”

It's coming out in September, not October like I originally planned. I finished it early and is now it edits. I'm picking out a genre. It's definitely adult, but I don't know if it's erotica. I don't think it is, maybe just contemporary. I'm looking into it! But don't you just love this! I'm so excited! I finished! Took me a long time but I worked really hard, with a lot of late nights writing. Having a full time job at Chili's, two small children and being a wife/mother made it take just a bit longer, but that's okay! I'm blessed, and I am just happy I can say it's DONE!!

My own romance story, Love Came Back

So I have been extremely busy writing, I've written about 44000 words so far, but it's a matter of getting it on a computer and finishing it. I've been steadily writing but with 2 young ones, a full time job with hectic hours it's difficult to finish, but don't worry. I'll finish it this year. so if you like here is a snippet, it's the prologue of Love Came Back:

In the beginning

~Siddaleigh~

            “So do you know when you’re coming back?” I knew this would be a tough question to ask. The answer was almost too much to bare. Walking hand-in-hand with Konner on the shores of Clear Lake near his family’s neighborhood. I knew our time together was limited with his team being deployed soon. I never wanted him to leave me but he had a life as a Navy SEAL.

            “I’m not sure when I'll be back. My C.O. figured it's a quick in and out so top three to four weeks or up to 2 months. I hope to be back by October. Right after my birthday but before yers. I’m gonna miss ye Siddaleigh. So very much muirnín.” I wondered what he meant by that word and as the look of confusion marred on my face, Konner explained.

            “That’s sweetheart in Gaelic. We have only known each other for 6 months and I know without a doubt I am well on my way to being in love with ye. I’m 25 Siddaleigh, that’s an eight year age gap. Yer so young, so naïve about the world. To me, this feels so right.”

            I loved hearing the Irish accent he had. It sent tingles down my spine. His voice was deep, strong and firm. Not really melodic like some accents can be but it was beautiful. Especially when he spoke his language to me. I didn't know anything he had told me but sometimes when we went out or just relaxed at our spot on this lake, he would just talk to me in full sentences. It was a beautiful language. I researched the country and it was just as beautiful. I promised myself that I would go there the first chance I got.

“Konner this summer has flown by so quickly. I know this might sound petty and selfish but I don’t want you to leave me. Yeah, so I’m seventeen, and you might think I’m naïve and young but I know what I feel. I know what I want. I hate this tightening feeling in my chest and the ache that’s just waiting to settle when you leave me.”

            I looked away and when I looked up at the starry skies, the first day we met flashed in my mind.

            I had never been so embarrassed in my life. Stuck in a never ending line at my favorite coffee shop, I looked around and seen him reading a newspaper. His dark blonde hair had a short military cut to it and when he caught me staring at him, my face went from peach to cherry red real quick. Being caught red-handed ogling him, the hot hunk of perfect masculinity winked at me! He flashed a ‘yea I saw you’ smile.

            He made a bee-line right for me when I finally made my order. I hated coffee, but their Double Chocolate Chip Frap was to die for. Digging through my purse to find a five dollar bill, the oh-so hot rugged piece of man-flesh tossed the counter girl a ten spot. I had to look up to see his face, he was so tall, at least a foot to my 5’4”. He gave me another heated, sexy smile and asked me if I wanted to sit down with him.

            After only a few short months I knew he was the one. Excitement pulsed throughout my skin when he held me close, or when I heard his voice, so deep, accented with a deep brogue. Now that sound, somehow a little song-like voice made my nerve censors fire rapidly all over my body.

            I felt my eyes starting to water when Konner wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in close.

            “Siddaleigh. I just received a notice of deployment in the early AM from my C.O-”

I gasped and if he hadn’t been holding me, I definitely would have fallen to my knees. “No! No, Konner! How? When did this happen? It’s still too soon! Were you even going to tell me?”

He steadied me in his embrace and put a hand to wipe away the tears spilling from my eyes.

“You know my injury has been checked and I’ve been given a clean bill of health to return. My team needs me love. Banphrionsa, please baby girl, don’t ye shed one tear. Every tear is a knife slicing into my heart. I didn’t expect us to be so inseparable but that’s what happened and you have to trust me, now. I should be back before your birthday. Oh, love and what a special treat I’ll have for ye. My little witch. So fiery, my pyro-princess. M’anam.”

            I tried to calm down, I knew it wasn’t the end of the world for him to go out on a mission. I knew this was his life. He told me well enough about it over the time we had together, however short.

 “Don’t cry banphrionsa. This mission will come and go so quickly. That ache ye feel now is incomparable to mine. We can keep in touch; ye can tell me all about college. I’ll keep ye posted with any information I am allowed to give. There will be times when I can’t write back as quickly but I’ll keep up just the same love. I’ll always write back and ye can take that promise to yer heart.”

            He managed to calm me with his promises and I knew in my heart that it would turn out for the best.

 

 

~Konner~

I did not have to second guess, to really know that I was already in love with her, despite our age difference. With all the things I’ve seen and done since joining the Navy, then becoming a Navy SEAL second commander , it’s been seven years of hard ass work and if I’ve been lucky, hard play.

Meeting Sidda in that café was so unexpected. Getting to know her, her fire and passion for her dreams, I wanted to give her all that, and so much more. I felt so complete when looking in Siddaleigh’s eyes, seeing the innocence and yet determination that stirred up a spirit so fierce. I knew she wasn’t ready to hear it but I just couldn’t stop talking. Whenever I’m with her, it was like I could talk her straight to the moon. We talked about meeting the others parents when I came back. Never thought I’d be nervous meeting a girls’ parents but somehow this, this was important. I had to get my shit together and show them I could love her and love her well for the rest of our lives.

            “Siddaleigh, I know this might sound crazy but I know yer the one. Each and every day it only gets clearer and stronger for me.”

            I had no problem waiting for her. The previous months while I was recuperating an injured shoulder, I was practically bored out of my mind until I saw her. She made a massive impact on my thoughts about life and what I really wanted out of it. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. Looking back on the day I met her was so fresh in my mind.

            I was only two months out in injured leave with at least six more to go until I get the all clear. Taking a damn round in the back shoulder was a bitch and I hated staying stagnant. Luckily for me, athair sent me on some recon for his security business.

            I was supposed to meet with an informant in twenty minutes, and it was only 0810. Thank God I was meeting her close enough to where I could get a shot of caffeine ‘cause Christ, being up all night looking over clients security systems made me irritatingly cranky.

            I was reading the sports section, damn Dynamos killed another one, and drinking a black with an extra shot of espresso when I felt eyes on me. Not seeing anything in my peripherals’, I slowly shift my newspaper down. That’s when I saw her. Fresh, looked right out of high school fresh. God, practically a baby. That didn’t stop my dick from getting semi erect. I’m a disgusting pervert looking at a girl like that. She was all curves, though. A little on the thicker side, but with an hour glass figure. Reminded me of Marilyn Monroe. Hair that hung down to the base of her spine, kinda wavy and crazy curly in spots. She looked to be a hot mess. Shorts that topped her knees, and an off the shoulder blouse in fuck me red. Of all things, she was wearing some red Chuck Taylor’s to match.

            Her tits? Stacked. Ass to die for? Check. Her face, same color as her top. Maybe not what some people call beautiful but where I’m from, my home country, women had curves and this young thing had it in troves. Beautifully classic. Subtle make-up. So I flashed her a smile to let her know I seen her staring and she quickly turned just in time to make her order.

            That was my cue. I hurried to open my wallet and as I heard the counter girl give the girl her total, I pulled out a ten and threw it on the counter. That’s when I noticed how small she actually was. At least a foot from my six foot four.

            I knew I couldn’t let her go without talking to her, my meeting long forgotten and my father would understand.

            Looking at her now, I hated seeing her so upset. With the information I’m about to tell her, she’ll be even in more distress. God why is this so hard. Saying Goodbye, even if it’s only for a short time, was feeling my chest with lead.

            So I wrapped her in my arms and steadied my eyes on hers. This girl who took my heart. My soul. She’s my everything and for all the love I have serving my country, I didn’t want to leave her. Such precious cargo in my embrace.

            “Siddaleigh. I just received a notice of deployment in the early AM from my C.O.,” with this, Sidda sobbed a refusal and an accusation of withholding the information, which made my blood simmer. If I didn’t know it was because of how much she wanted me to stay, I’d argue with her and set her straight. But I did know, and seeing her tears fall was killing me to the quick.

“You know my injury has been checked and I’ve been given a clean bill of health to return. My team needs me love. Banphrionsa, please baby girl, don’t you shed one tear. Every tear is a knife slicing into my heart. I didn’t expect us to be so inseparable but that’s what happened and you have to trust me, now. I should be back before your birthday. Oh, love and what a special treat I’ll have for ye. My little witch. So fiery, my pyro-princess. M’anam.”

            My promises seemed to calm her somewhat and I did the only thing I could do. I kissed her. I kissed her hard. I kissed her deep. Pouring my heart into this last kiss we’d share until I came back.


 

Games of Fire, fired me up!

Games of FireGames of Fire by Airicka Phoenix
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG, I loved this book. I was up all night reading it, I could NOT put it down. Sophie and Spencer story gripped me from the very beginning. I realy don't have many words to describe how amazing this book was. It was passion-charged, suspence and I can't believe I waited to read this book. I mean I bought it when it came out, I just hadn't had time, but im so gah- Loved reading this book. Airicka does it again. Her touching series grabbed me by its hooks, and this one was just as page turning. I'm not a real big YA-NA reader, but this story was one I;m going to have to pick up in paperback too. And as anyone knows me, I only buy paperbacks now if I really really love the book. I LOVED this book. Can't wait to read more from this author.

Bound by Elisabeth Naughton

TITUS--To most his gift seems like a blessing, but for him it's a curse the other Eternal Guardians--those who protect the mortal realm from threats of the Underworld--seek to exploit. One he would gladly trade for the chance to be free...

Obsessed. Her touch is like a drug. From the moment he met her, Titus knew she was different. Even dangerous. Yet though his guardian brethren are convinced Natasa is working for Hades, Titus can't stop thinking about her. Can't stop fantasizing about her. Can't stop craving the one thing he knows could lead to the downfall of his world.

Possessed. Faced with stopping Natasa or joining in her quest, Titus falls to temptation and is thrust into a world of lust, deception, and deadly treachery designed by the gods. Her touch--only hers--frees him from his bonds, but desire may just condemn him. Because before the end he'll have to decide which is more important: duty and honor to those he took an oath to defend, or a woman who could very well be the biggest curse to them all.

I've excitedly waited for Titus' story. I have to say, besides Isa's and D's story, this is also a favorite of mine. There is a dark element to this book that surprised me but found fascinating. I'm loving this series. It only gets better. Great action, steamy romance and drama between the worlds of Gods and Argoleans. Every girls dream is what I say. I hope Nick's story is next. I'm desperately waiting for more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With every book Lora Leigh writes, I only want to read more. I love how she writes the Mackay Family. Piper and Jed so far are my favorite in this new nauti series. However, I wish it would be just a stand alone book. But that's ok. However, sorry Natches is still #1. But there's awesome action, hot romance, and family dynamics that will keep you gripped to your seat begging for more!

The sequel to the Amazon bestseller- Find You in the Dark

How do you keep going when you feel like your life is over?

Maggie never thought she’d see Clay again. So, she attempts to put her life back together after her heart has been shattered to pieces. Moving on and moving forward, just as Clay wanted her to.

Clay never stopped thinking of Maggie. Even after ripping their lives apart and leaving her behind to get the help he so desperately needed. He is healing...slowly. But his heart still belongs to the girl who tried to save him.

When a sudden tragedy brings Maggie and Clay face to face again, nothing is the same. Yet some things never change. Can the darkness that threatened to consume them be transformed into something else and finally give them what they always wanted? And can two people who fought so hard to be together, finally find their happiness? Or will their demons and fear drive them apart for good?

The thing about love, is even when it destroys you, it has a way of mending what is broken. And in the shadows, you can still see the light

Light in the Shadows (Find You in the Dark, #2)Light in the Shadows by A. Meredith Walters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow. This book was really good. It had me at the edge of my seat wondering if the HEA would actually even happen. The beginning and middle were practically heart wrenching to read because of Clay's struggle to keep going or to self-harm. The difficulties of Clay's and Maggie's relationship lead them to an ending that was full of love, hope and the will of endurance. I teared up because Clay really wanted to get help and maintain a healthy persona to be with Maggie. It was all for her and mostly for him, which I found amazing. You have to work on yourself first before you can venture into someone else. It ended just like it should. AMAZING!

AH! I CANT BELIEVE! I love this! Getting better so much better with each one! Love that sorta-kinda love triangle with Riley, but not. You know what i mean, I'm loving Riley! Tragic story for him, but im so hoping it turns out good for him in the end. And Sam and Heven are one of my favorite couples. This is action packed, the romance is awesome. Everything you could want to read. I Can't wait for Renegade!

Charade by my friend Cambria

The second novel in the Heven and Hell series.
Dying at the hands of a psycho was a shock. Having my life returned to me by an angel was incredible. Being named a Supernatural Treasure and being given Sam as my guard was pretty darn awesome. Acquiring a debt for it all—well, I should have seen it coming.
Now here we are, fighting demons from Hell, caring for a boy that I just don’t trust, and traveling to faraway places to return a treasure to its rightful place. Nothing is as it seems. Everyone wears a mask; everyone puts on a charade. It’s up to us to separate the truth from the lies and reality from fiction. A hard task when my new reality involves fallen angels, witches and dragons… and did I mention Hell?
Anchoring me down through it all is Sam. Sam, who must face tragedies of his own and is put to the test again and again.
If we fail in our task, life as we know it—life as you know it—will end. Forever.
.99c RIGHT NOW

Masquerade of Awesomeness

Book One in the Heven and Hell series

I'm disfigured. Scarred. Ugly.
When I look in the mirror, I see a stranger. When I look over my shoulder, no one's there…
Yet I feel watched. Hunted. Afraid.
And then he tells me I’m beautiful.
He tells me I’m safe.
I believe him.
Until someone tries to kill me.
Secrets abound, danger is near, and still… my heart desires a boy with whiskey-colored eyes and far too many secrets.
Secrets that could cost me my life.
To stay alive I have to look deep, beneath the masks everyone wears, to find the truth.
To find myself.
ONLY .99c
Can't beat that!
You know it amazes me sometimes how people can review books and give them a low rating. Or say negative comments to these authors, especially these indie authors. I mean these people aren't publishing through a big company, they are publishing it on amazon or whatever carrier they wanna sell it on. Then having their books printed, I've seen some sites, they are not cheap! I wanna say to all those who have something horrible to say, IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. Thank you!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

it's been awhile since ive read this but I've read it a few times. As well as the others in this series. I don't remember how I got to see books from this author, maybe a rec from my amazon, but I was skeptical as first, im not a big YA fan, but i said what the hey and picked up a copy of masquerade. OMG! Loved this book. Flawed girl, way too over protective mother, and a guy hard to resist, well for me anyways! Great fictional couple, i couldn't put it down! Will so be buying the paperpacks! Yes you might think, "well why buy the paperpack when you have a ebook copy?" Well I only buy the hard copies when i LOVE LOVE the book. And this is a whole series!

Synopsis of my Debut novel, Love Came Back, a PPDS novel

They say if you love someone you should set them free. What if you don't have a choice? What if your forced apart by circumstances out of your control?

Siddaleigh is a small town girl with big dreams. Konner is a young injured Navy SEAL. Neither are looking for love. But fate had other ideas.

Just as sparks ignite Konner is called away to duty and the pair lose contact. Sidda tries to move on... with a man who isn't as he seems.

Years pass and Sidda finds herself face to face with Konner, the man she longed for but thought she would never see again. Konner soon realizes that the woman he once knew is being held hostage by a painful past that only he can help her overcome.

And once she's free, Konner is hoping that their love will come back.
On the Plus Side (Chubby Girl Chronicles, #1)On the Plus Side by Tabatha Vargo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG! I mean literally OMG! I love this book. After I finished this book, gosh, I can barley call it that; it's like a masterpiece. I told the author I didn't really just enjoy it, I devoured it. It was can't-stop-reading-what-happens-next-omg amazing.

At my first glance at the paperback cover and the amazon description, it would have been like a cougar and a young guy. That's what I thought when read 'she was loaded' and a hot guy. That and the bills sticking in her panties, I thought maybe she was loaded by being a stripper so I skipped over it when I seen it advertised. LOOKS ARE DECIEVING! Because when I looked up the kindle edition, I felt more curious and went ahead & bought it.

OMG! It was nothing like my brain thought. The girl is early 20's and she ends up getting the $$ somehow (buy this book, because I won't give out spoilers if I can help it). She's a thick girl, with no problem with her size. That's just how she is, like most of us plus size woman, we got teased/bullied when we were younger and maybe not so younger but you know what I mean on that score. Chubby to me, is fat to skinny bitches. Love skinny girls too, my mother and sister are so I'm not judging but anyway. She meets this hot as all get out, Henry Cavil hot, type guy all tatted and rough hands mechanic. Hmm... the picture of mmm..mmm.. Yummy!

This hot guy Devin was into the whole skinny girls, lay em and leave em type until he meets Lilly. After first encounter, you start seeing him change his thoughts on big girls.

This awesomeness that I call a masterpiece, got me flustered with anticipation, I didn't want to put this book down, and working in a restaurant that's hard when I'm dealing with customers but I read most of it and finished it last night. It got me hot, I 7 out of 10 times skips sex scences or skim read them but reading these scenes I couldn't. I have never felt my face get all flushy and blushy from reading a book, and some of the parts its just the way he looks at her!

I cried near the end when I thought all hell was breaking loose. And cried happy tears because I didn't want this book to end. That's novel to me too because standalones usually end good but I don't want to see the end of Devin and Lilly. The ending was so amazing though.

I recommend this book to all women. Skinny witches to fat & chubby girls. Hey I am apart of that club so I can say that. This book will get you all kinds of happy and excited and- god I might have to reread it. I am that enthralled at reading it!

After buying the kindle edition, which is only $2.99, so amazingly cheap, BUY IT!, I went to my amazon prime site, and bought the paperback.

I usually never buy the papaerback anymore unless the book is like OMG I HAVE TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE COPY! feeling. Since having a kindle, buying paperback isn't too much of a concern unless im buying the rest of series I already had. I never never buy paperbacks, so having to buy the hard copy right after and I mean RIGHT AFTER reading this is saying something to all who read this!

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down. 100 billion, zillion STARS to Tabatha Vargo! I am anticipating how's Lilly best friend Shannons story plays out! I am on the edge of my seat desperately waiting for more.
