Blurb 

  Determined to overcome a dark and tragic past, college student Everly Wallace is only months away from earning her degree in physical therapy. She’s consumed with school, caring for her ailing grandfather, and figuring out how to pay the next bill. The last thing she wants is a relationship, but it just might be the one thing she needs.

 Major League pitcher Cole Parker hasn’t fought for anything in his life. He went from a privileged upbringing to a multimillion dollar All-Star career. But when his pitching shoulder starts to give him trouble at only twenty-four years old, he faces the possibility of his injury becoming public knowledge and costing him everything.

 In a desperate bid to save his career, Cole decides to hire someone to treat his injury, someone who will keep things off the record and out of the media. He finds the perfect solution in Everly. As mysterious as she is beautiful, she provides an enticing distraction from his pain. Soon, physical therapy is the last thing on his mind. 

 When an act of betrayal brings the truths they both fear to light, Cole will have to fight for the first time in his life…not just for his career, but for Everly’s love.

Cover Reveal Thursday

Hey guys.

So, lately there have been a lot of cover reveals for either new books, upcoming releases or re-releases and I wanted to share with you, my readers, my favorite two covers that I have seen over the last few weeks.

Cover #1

Clockwork Princess (The Infernal Devices #3) by Cassandra Clare

Release Date: March 19th 2013 by Margaret K. McElderry Books

 Format: Hardcover

Isn't this cover just gorgeous? I love the Victorian era red dress on the cover model. I think it's stunning, along with the city backdrop. Just love it. And, I am incredibly excited about this book. The Infernal Devices is one of my all time favorite book series. The writing is just beautiful and the character development is really good. These books really tug on the heartstrings. Cannot wait to read Clockwork Princess!

Cover #2

Boundless (Unearthly #3) by Cynthia Hand
Release Date: January 22nd 2013 by HarperTeen
Format: Hardcover

So, Boundless, is the 3rd installment in the Unearthly series. I own book 1 in this series but have not read it yet. I am excited about reading it eventually and catching up with this series because I always hear very high praise for these books. And, I just love the covers for them as well. They are always so ethereal looking and I love the blue/purple-ish tones that are always used for these.

What do you guys think? Are there any book covers that you are gushing about? And if so, which ones are they? :)

Thanks for reading lovelies <3

Cover Reveal Thursday

Hey guys.

So, lately there have been a lot of cover reveals for either new books, upcoming releases or re-releases and I wanted to share with you, my readers, my favorite two covers that I have seen over the last few weeks.

Cover #1

Unravel Me (Shatter Me #2) by Tahereh Mafi

Release Date:  February 5th 2013 by HarperCollins

Format: Hardcover

 

 

Isn't this cover just stunning? Cover art at it's best, in my opinion. So Unravel Me is the second installment in the Shatter Me series. Shatter Me was an incredibly amazing and poetic dystopian novel and I can't wait to read book 2 in this series.

Cover #2

The Indigo Spell (Bloodlines #3) by Richelle Mead

Release Date:  February 12th 2013 by Razorbill

Format: Hardcover

 

 

 

I cannot wait for this book. I am a huge fan of the Bloodlines series and I'm constantly amazed at how talented Richelle Mead is when it comes creating book series that are so unique even though they may take place in the same world as her previous books. I say this since the Bloodline series is a spin off series of Vampire Academy. I love the main characters in Bloodlines (Sydney and Adrian) and can't wait to see how they conquer more challenges in The Indigo Spell. Speaking of, I just love the cover for The Indigo Spell. The color, with the flowers around the title, everything looks great, though I am intrigued by the new guy on the cover (one on the left) since Adrian is on the right. I wonder who he may be? February can't come soon enough!

Cover Reveal Friday

Hey guys.

So, lately there have been a lot of cover reveals for either new books, upcoming releases or re-releases and I wanted to share with you, my readers, my favorite two covers that I have seen over the last few weeks.

Cover #1

Destroy Me (Shatter Me #1.5) by Tahereh Mafi

Release Date: October 2nd 2012 by HarperCollins

Format: Ebook

You guys. This cover. This COVER. So stunning that I can't even. So, Destroy Me is Shatter Me told from the point-of-view of Warner. If you haven't read Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi you really should think about doing so. It was an incredible dystopian novel with an incredibly poetic prose. And why am I super excited about Destroy Me? Well, because it is the story of Shatter Me told from Warner's perspective. Warner was the resident villain from Shatter Me. He was to me the biggest highlight of the story because of the dimensionality of his character. And that's a lot to say because Juliette and Adam were AMAZING main characters.

 

 But back to Warner, our villain in Shatter Me. Yes, he was crazy evil and a scary psychopath with incredibly neat hair BUT there was a subtle, dare I say it, vulnerability to him underneath all of that. Well, at least, that was the vibe I got, like there was just much more to him under the surface. And no I didn't like Warner as a person but I loved that he was so fascinating and that he had that vibe of maybe having a secret compelling side to him. And let me tell you, a villain like this is not easy to come by which is why I thought Tahereh did such an amazing job with the creation of his character and why I need Destroy Me, asap!

 

 

 

 

 

Cover #2

All the Broken Pieces by Cindi Madsen

Release Date: December 11th 2012 by Entangled Publishing

Format: Paperback 

 

 

 

Love love love this cover. I love how fragmented it is while remaining beautiful and cohesive, all at the same time. In All the Broken Pieces we have a girl who is recovering from a car accident that put her in a coma and from what I read in the summary, it seems like her thoughts are gonna be split in two different directions. So, I definitely think this book is gonna be deep, complex, and interesting and I can't wait to read it. Besides, Cindi is awesome so I know this will be fabulous as well!

What do you guys think? Are there any book covers that you are gushing about? And if so, which ones are they? :)

Thanks for reading lovelies <3

 

Cover Reveal Thursday

Hey guys.

So, lately there have been a lot of cover reveals for either new books, upcoming releases or re-releases and I wanted to share with you, my readers, my favorite three covers that I have seen over the last few weeks.

Cover #1

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

Release Date: October 16, 2012 by Harper

Format: Paperback

Shatter Me is already out in Hardcover. It is an amazing dystopian & incredibly poetic novel. Read my review here. But yea, for the paperback release, they decided to change the cover because they wanted a cover that more accurately reflected the story.

Cover #2

Finale (Hush, Hush, #4) by Becca Fitzpatrick

Release Date: October 23rd 2012 by Simon & Schuster

Format: Hardcover

I have not read the Hush, Hush series yet. But I am crazy over the covers for these books. They are just so gorgeous & full of drama & artistic. I just love them. A lot of my fellow book bloggers have gushed about this series so I look forward to starting it eventually since I luckily own the 1st installment in this Hush, Hush saga.

Cover #3

My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century by Rachel Harris

Release Date: September 11th 2012 by Entangled Publishing 

Format: Paperback

I just can't even. I want to hug this cover. Isn't that dress just amazeballs and the backdrop with the castle and everything? <3 I'm a historical geek, what can I say. And speaking of geekery LOL --> I totally geek out for the Italian Renaissance and the premise of this book is that the main character, Cat Crawford, goes to Italy on vacation and through magic of some sorts or something like that, she gets transported to the 16th century in Italy. The Italian Renaissance to be more specific. And, I cannot wait to read about it. I just think that this book is gonna be incredibly fun and I love Rachel. She is so nice, and if you don't, follow her on twitter. Sweetest person evahh.

Cover Reveal: My Super Sweet 16th Century by Rachel Harris

Hey guys!

Thanks for stopping by the blog to check out the cover reveal and an exclusive excerpt for the upcoming YA debut:

My Super Sweet 16th Century by Rachel Harris

Ready for some cover awesomeness?

Here it is:

Goodreads Summary:

On the precipice of her sixteenth birthday, the last thing lone wolf Cat Crawford wants is an extravagant gala thrown by her bubbly stepmother and well-meaning father. So even though Cat knows the family’s trip to Florence, Italy, is a peace offering, she embraces the magical city and all it offers. But when her curiosity leads her to an unusual gypsy tent, she exits . . . right into Renaissance Firenze.

Thrust into the sixteenth century armed with only a backpack full of contraband future items, Cat joins up with her ancestors, the sweet Alessandra and protective Cipriano, and soon falls for the gorgeous aspiring artist Lorenzo. But when the much-older Niccolo starts sniffing around, Cat realizes that an unwanted birthday party is nothing compared to an unwanted suitor full of creeptastic amore.

Can she find her way back to modern times before her Italian adventure turns into an Italian forever?

Excerpt:

I hear their muffled whispers and understand every Italian word. Every witty comment made at my expense.

It’s like my brain is automatically translating.

I bunch the soft fabric of the dress in my hand and then reach up to feel the ribbon in my hair. I lightly skim my fingers over my chin and feel my lack of zit. I take in the costumes of the crowd, the stench of the animals, and the Italian I can now speak and understand. And suddenly it hits me.

Reyna must have pulled some kind of gypsy mojo.

Maybe this is one of those nifty “change your life” magic scenarios like in the movies. I mean, mostly I’m still expecting to blink and be right back in the midst of overpriced, gaudy tourism, but for now, the gypsy-time-warp explanation is infinitely better than thinking I’ve lost my mind. As I decide to go with that option, I feel my frantic tension melt away.

The growing crowd seems to notice my change in demeanor and begins shooting one another amused looks, but I don’t care anymore. A smile stretches across my face. Evidently, I was wrong earlier; Reyna is a psychic mind reader, because if this is her special brand of bibbity-bobbity-boo, then she made my exact daydream from earlier in the courtyard come to life.

The long red gown, the braided hair, the Italian merchant’s daughter, the time period. I am in Renaissance Florence.

I stare dumbly at the ground, the words and reality sinking in.

I’m in Renaissance Florence!
