Between fantasy and reality

Summary: Two addicts. One epic love story.   Prepare for the worst.  That’s what Lily and Lo try to do when Jonathan Hale schedules an “important” meeting. The problem: after being swept into the public eye and battling their addictions, they’re not sure what the worst is anymore.  In a sea of many changes—including Ryke & Daisy living with them—Lily realizes that the best part of her fluctuating hormones might just be the worst.  Her sex drive is out of control.  Loren knows that she’s insatiable, but he’s not giving up on her.

#Hater by Cambria Hebert  (Hashtag #2)  Publication date: January 12th 2015 Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance Summary: It started with unspoken animosity. The bitter bite of jealousy. And now its full blown hate. It was during my first football game that I first felt the first chill of hate. I looked it right in the eyes and felt its sticky tentacles reach out for me. I’d never experienced something so cold and empty before. The effect of that look lingered, like an unspoken promise, long after it was gone.  Becoming a couple – becoming the other half of a campus celebrity wasn’t easy. I let down walls guarding my heart and he looked past my glasses and accident prone tendencies. Romeo and I are an unlikely match, a #nerd and a jock.

2014 has been a long year for me, with some personal issues and family troubles, so I struggled a little with reading and read less than normally, with longer reading slumps. I still managed to complete my Goodreads reading challenge with 303 books, but it was still less than previous years. 2015 will hopefully be more exciting, more inspiring and full of many fantastic reads.     I started with challenging myself with less books from the beginning, 250, and to write at least 50 reviews because I have been slacking in that departement too. There are so many books I was excited to read in 2014, some from my favorite series, and I havent read them yet so I plan on doing that in January and February. To name a few, those would be Heir of Fire, Exquisite captive, Talon, Havoc, Trial by Fire, Sinner, and a few of series-ending books or other books that have been on my TBR list for awhile I have been putting of like Allegiant, Hidden, Shadows in the silence, All our y...

Synopsis: There’s nothing worse than a cruel, cunning enemy with time to kill—and my murder to plan. With wicked Fire elemental Mab Monroe long gone, you’d think I could finally catch a break. But someone’s always trying to take me down, either as Gin Blanco or my assassin alter-ago. Now along comes the Spider’s new arch-nemesis, the mysteriously named M. M. Monroe, who is gleefully working overtime to trap me in a sticky web of deceit. The thing is, I’m not the only target. I can see through the tangled threads enough to know that every bit of bad luck my friends have been having lately is no accident—and that each unfortunate “coincidence” is just one more arrow drawing ever closer to hitting the real bulls-eye. Though new to Ashland, this M. M. Monroe is no stranger to irony, trying to get me, an assassin, framed for murder. Yet, as my enemy’s master plan is slowly revealed, I have a sinking feeling that it will take more than my powerful Ice and Stone magic to stop my whole ...

First of all, since this is my first post of 2015, I want to wish you all a happy New Year and all the best in 2015. I have not been around lately, I had some personal stuff to deal with, but hopefully, I will be around more from now. I have a Heart to heart mondays post prepared for you on 12th, with all my bookish resolutions, wishes and some new stuff that will be coming up on Between fantasy and reality, so I hope you check it out. Now, time for my first Quote of the week post in 2015.     I chose a quote from Falling away by Penelope Douglas. I have waited for some time for Jax s story, and it was well worth it. He is a special character and Juliet is a perfect match for him. Here goes: “He gave us three irrefutible pieces of advice about the male species: 1. Boys will lie, cheat, and steal to get into your pants. A man will stand the test of time. Make him wait, and you'll see which one he is. 2. They will try to tell you that it feels better without a condo...
