Saturday Goodies!!

It's that day on the week, you know the one where I restock on my yummy books. Last week I did not finish all the ones I got *GASP* I KNOW! So there are really only two that I got this week!

Friday Night Review

The Vincent Boys

Abbi Glines

When I choose this book to read I didn't have high hopes. All the reviews I had read had been not so generous in praise. I like to think I give everything a fair shot. It's the little things in life that take us by surprise. I admit the story line has been used time and time again. Love triangle. 

Now I like I said I did NOT have high hopes for this one, but I was surprised. It wasn't a book that I would put in my Top Ten, but it wasn't horrid. I enjoyed it. The characters are relate able. Ashton was admirable in the fact that she was willing to walk away from both of Sawyer and Beau. That's how much she loves them both. I felt Glines did a good job showing the conflict in loving someone verses being in love with someone. 

The thing I enjoyed the most about Glines writing is, I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT! I hate the snail pace build up that most authors take to get into the story. I fully understand that background is needed to be laid so that we understand the characters. We get to know Ashton and Beau's history through them. How they interact with each other. Things they say. We get to know Sawyer, through them as well. He doesn't actually make a appearance in the story until the end, but the characters are so conflicted with what they know is wrong and what feels right, that they expose us to the type of person Sawyer is. 

I admit I have a crush on Beau. He is masculine in everything he does. The silent suffering he has gone through while his cousin, who is basically his brother, dates the only women he has ever loved. I just want to pull him in my arms and hold him. I a sucker for a sad story. 

 

Over all it was an enjoyable quick read. I would recommend it, for a day at home with nothing to do. 

I stole this... Bad Me!

Battle of the Baby!

I have the worlds cutest niece, she gets it from me. I adore her and of course she idolizes me. As any 3 month old would. We get along so well, except one thing. In all of her cuteness and amazingness that she gets from me, we have created a monster.

SHE IS SPOILED! 

So I have taken to de-spoiling her. Shhh don't tell her parents. She likes to be held in a specific way which was awesome when she was a tiny little thing. Here is problem number two, she eats. Allot! I can't fault her because, come on I'd choose food over a hot blooded man ANY DAY! So My dear dear Baby Olive is not light anymore. So I must rectify her illusion that she needs to be held in a specific way always. I will now reenact our last battle of the minds. 

And SCENE!

Olive: waahhhh

Me: O.o 

Olive: WAHHHHH

Me: O.-

Olive: WWAAAHHHH

Me: If you don't stop crying Olive I will place you on the floor and walk away.

Olive: *Stops crying looks at me* ... WAHHHH!!

Me: *Places Olive on living room floor and walks away.*

Olive: *Looks around in silence.*

Me: *Fist pumps air* Alicia: 1 Olive: 0

END SCENE.

Now before I am arrested for child abuse her father was in the room I left her in and I did give her warning. She stopped acknowledged the consequences and gave me the baby version of the finger and continued! As well as I was informed by my older brother to please stop placing his baby on the floor. I didn't make that promise, all is fair in love and war. 

Baby Olive!

(Blurb from Goodreads)

Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…

Thanks to his alien mojo, Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarro connection. So I’ve sworn him off, even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But we’ve got bigger problems.

Something worse than the Arum has come to town…

The Department of Defense are here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we're linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who’s got a secret of his own. He knows what’s happened to me and he can help, but to do so, I have to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible. Against all common sense, I'm falling for Daemon. Hard.

But then everything changes…

I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. And I have to tell Daemon, even though I know he’s never going to stop searching until he gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies…

Spell check is my friend

As I sit under the blow dryer while my best friend/ stylist works magic on my head I noticed something..... I clearly never graduated high school or learned what spell check is.
Dear people of the world wide web I apologize that in my rants of excitement I revert back to third grade English.
I will strive for better spelling and grammar! As seen in this post I will use spell check.
Cross my heart and hope to die! Well I don't hope to die but you get the picture I am sure!
That is all.... GOOD DAY!!

Onyx!

Jennifer L. Armentrout released the new Onyx Book Trailer yesterday and might I say all it did was make the 3 day wait worse!

Look at all my goodies!!!

So every Saturday I like to stock up to get me through the week! Look at all the yummy books I got today!!

Undead and Undermined

Oh Sweet Baby Jebus make it stop!

I started out excited because Betsy is a guilty snarky pleasure of mine. I enjoyed the previous books because I literally had some laugh out loud OMG people are looking at me like I am nuts! moments. This one I have not even finished which is not something I like to do. It is currently sitting in my Nook gathering electronic dust because I can't put myself through the punishment of finishing it.

I <3 Betsy's one mindedness and snarky ability, any lady who has two main focuses of sex and shoes is my kind of girl. Only know I feel there we can't get through a scene without her mind running off like a scared bunny rabbit. Now I am a fairly intelligent girl, but I was confused and lost at times. If I didn't love my nook so much I am pretty sure it would be hiding in the corner like a scared puppy I JUST KICKED!

I hope to see more from MJD but maybe Betsy should have some growth or go on a trip or maybe just get GET HIT BY A BUS. Just please fix this!!

I also don't like the newer covers... but in no way did that play a role in my dislike of the book... Maybe.

I'm going to read WHA?!?!

I am totally going to start ready Shadow Of The Wolf by: Dana Marie Bell today.

Reason I am excited? I have a guilty pleasure for romances that have H-O-T sex sense, makes life a little bit more bearable. Also come on I'm a single mom, the only Hot scenes I get are from the steam going out of the dryer. 

I shall be back with my take and somewhat witty review. 0.o Wish me luck!

OHHHHH LOOK AT THAT COVER! ** drools**

I'm only on the 12th page and I'm already knowing this is going to be a good one!!

I CAN'T TAKE THE WAIT!!

I just finished reading Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout and let me tell you *fans herself* I think I'm in love. Wait no scratch that I AM IN LOVE! Oh sweet hot aliens made of light! Ok! Let me start off by saying that no way did I think going into this that I would become so obsessed, but once again I was wrong. Well I am wrong allot but I don't like to admit that out loud.

Now let me give you a run down, while I am suppose to be working. I will just have to make sure I look like I'm doing something when they walk past my office. i kid I kid, I am on lunch!

So it starts out with Katy staring at her boxes resigning herself to West Virginia, not a real town, boredom. After her mom makes her pack up and leave sunny Florida(which lets be honest hurricanes = NOT. COOL.). From the start the book was relate able, well as relate able as alien HAWTNESS can be. What I mean by relate able is that I could totally see myself reacting in the same way that Katy does. She's fierce but not scary fierce. She is nice but not a pushover. She also refuses to put up with a jerkface dickhead hot ass who lives next door. I have to give her props, I would have punched him in the face the first time and then demanded he take of his clothes so I could play doctor... I mean judgement is SOOOO not needed at the moment.  0.o

Daemon followed me home after school.
Literally. He tailed me in his new Infiniti SUV.
My old Camry, with its leaky exhaust and loudmuffler, 
was no match for the speeds he wanted to go.
I’d brake-checked him several times.
He’d blown his horn.
It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Daemon *sigh* she was write when she wrote he was the Holy Trinity of Boys. Let's face it he is a douche. Nothing he says is polite, kind, nice or considerate at all. Then I would not have a major crush on him if he was any less douchey then he is! It is apart of who he is, his complex character steams from the lose he has experience and the fierce protectiveness he feels for the only family he has less. Jennifer did an excellent job portraying his inner conflict with out giving it away. You won't catch Daemon whining about what he can't have. It's not like I wouldn't willingly give him a shoulder to cry on.

“Asshole,” I muttered. Daemon laughed. 
“You have such a mouthon you. Do you kiss 
boys with that thing?”My cheeks heated. 
“Do you kiss Ash withyours?”
“Ash?” His smile disappeared and his eyes 
were suddenly hooded, less clear. 
“You wouldlike to know that, wouldn’t you?”

The point I am trying to make is that Jennifer Arementrout is a glorious writter. She captures the core of Katy and Daemons relation and does take the easy route in giving them a reason to have a relationship that is not platonic. They have a weird connection/bond/aliem mojo thing so what! Katy want's more then that she wants bone deep, you better show it and mean it LOVE! 
This my friends is why I can't wait the 5 days until the release of ONYX! So please take mercy on me and let these days fly by, the teasers that Jennifer puts on her blog are quite frankly GOD AWFUL TEASER THAT WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME IF I DO NOT GET MY FIX LIKE 4 DAYS AGO!!!
Check out her Blog for little bits of AWESOMENESS!
