So there are those certain books that make you scream out loud like that and laugh and go “Awwww” all girl like and in the same breath make you go “OH MY GOD YOU ARE SO STUPID!”. Well this was my experience with the This man Trilogy!

While at work one day we were slow and I decided to read, well the main character did something insanely stupid and I was in total shock of said stupidity so I said “What the %uck” rather loudly in my quiet office and got four curious stares pointed at me. Thank god my boss was not there that day!

Let me tell you about Jesse Ward.

He is not you’re typical mag-millionaire with a tortured soul that needs saving and…wait maybe he is, BUT Jess Ward will have your jaw on the floor from his harshness and then in the same breath have you melting with his sweetness.

“Just tell me one thing before you leave Ava, How loud do you think you’ll scream when I *uck you?”

“You completely consume me,Ava. I can’t function without you. I’m totally addicted to you, baby.”

He wants what he wants and he wants it, and “It” just so happens to be a one Ms. Ava O’Shea, interior designer and when they set eyes on each other sparks fly. But Ava can spot a potential broken heart a mile away having just gotten out of a four-year relationship. But Jesse Ward will not let her get away from him that easily. Over the course of three books demons are fought, fights are had, countdowns and demands are made, and truths come to light. And Oh yea there is TONS of sex. All kinds actually. Jesse is a fan of %ucking the sense into someone, giving reminder %ucks, retribution %ucks and a whole lot of others. These books don’t lack imagination in  that department let me tell you.

The only problem that I did have with the books was the first one in general, Jesse’s behavior was bordering on stalkerish  and had that been me, first I’m not sure I would have played so hard to get and if I did I’m not sure I wouldn’t have been calling the cops at his behavior later.  I also was not a fan of how the female lead was seeming so very naive , I mean you would have had to be blind to not guess what the big secret was in book one. But still that was not enough to get me to NOT like/love the trilogy. The last two book were bananas! I loved the sometimes volatile  but never violent arguments that the couple faced and the running conflict that was started somewhat in the first book and blew up in the third only to be resolved nicely by the end of the trilogy.  On average I loved the books and will more than likely be re-visiting Mr. Ward.

Imagine finding the Greatest Treasure in the World? What would you do with it? What you do to find it? This is what we deal with in the Amazing Novel by Ted Dekker called Obsessed.

In this book we find Stephen Friedman, successful Realtor, a Jewish immigrant and an orphan who had tried to find out who his parents were for a long time and at last gave up. But Stephen is the one who gets caught up in an obsession that is much bigger than he anticipates. It all begins with an  unexpected letter from a friend and a newspaper article. Stephen discovers that his mother was a woman named Rachel, a woman who had been through the nightmare of World War II concentration camps, and recently died. Stephen also learns that she was quite wealthy and had some property. Can you say  JACKPOT BABY, let’s make it rain.

 His mother also left behind  a priceless historical artifact – a stone of David, one of the five stones believed to be used by David to defeat the giant Goliath. Also, it may be that she knew where the other four stones are.

Stephen becomes obsessed with the idea to find the remaining stones. Bring on the search and the adventure ahead! He goes to his  mother’s old house, where he believes the clues are hidden. However, the house is bought by someone else, snatched right out of Stephen’s hands (AIN’T THAT SOMETHING). The new owner is a German man named Roth, whose father  was the Nazi Commandant of the concentration camp, Torùn. Roth knows about the stones and about Stephen plans. And he also has plans of his own. It is so ON! Stephen’s quest to find the additional four stones introduces him to a much deeper obsession. For a time he unknowingly stakes his life on this adventure, but when the danger becomes clearer he must determine the value of his obsession to him.

The story goes on as Stephen makes one desperate attempt to get into his mother’s house after another. Roth’s thugs do their best to keep him away.  While all this happens we find another story-line that takes us back in time to the WWII camp, telling about two pregnant women, Ruth and Martha (Stephen’s mother) and their struggles with the ruthless commandant who kills on a whim and plays games with the prisoners by giving and taking away their hope. There is some mystery here, and although the two story-lines seem unconnected, they eventually come together.

 Ted Dekker did it again! He took me off the couch and engulfed in this book for days! His contrast of positive and negative obsessions was illuminating. This book really makes you wonder about your current obsessions in your life. I Think the main thing I received from this book is make sure our desires are in the right place and that love is the greatest gift of them all.

Yea, that was all types of sentimental…I’m in a place, don’t judge!

Again, we here at BookBesties love all things Jennifer L. Armentrout (JLA) we (mainly me) love that we get to be apart of anything involving her! By now you all should have downloaded Frigid as it was released yesterday. If you are still late to the party then hopefully this awesome trailer will help sway you!

For twenty-one-year-old Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn’t anything new. They’d been best friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the ‘man’ in man-whore. He’s never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being their last year in college, Syd doesn’t want to risk their friendship by declaring her love.

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal that was too high for him to reach. To him, she’s perfect and she’s everything. But the feelings he has for her, he’s always hidden away or focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl he can never have.

But when they’re stranded together at a posh ski resort due to a massive Nor’easter, there’s nothing stopping their red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all? Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

     So if you have seen my Facebook or Twitter feed lately than you know I looooove everything Charley Davidson. She’s my first ever book girlfriend. (Don’t act like you guys don’t have them).  She is part Veronica Mars and maybe part Ghost Whisper, to an extent. You see Charley is a Grimm Reaper, THE Grimm Reaper to be exact and she also happens to date/ have relations with the Son of Satan, Reyes. Plus she has the worst case of ADD that I have seen, which just makes her more lovable in my book. If you have no idea who I’m talking about check out my review on the first grave book here. Anyone who is a fan know that just the titles of the chapters alone is enough to make you spit milk from your nose.

“I’m not 100 percent certain, but I think my cup of coffee just said, “You’re my bitch.”- Status update

“Whoever is in charge of making sure I don’t do stupid %hit is fired-T-SHIRT

Charley is back in her element doing what she loves, PI-ing (if that’s a word) and along with her assistant/ best-friend Cookie, she doing OK. A normal day for her  is coffee, then going to work and having someone try to kill her and she has to use her mad ass skills to save her life or her super hot  guy materialize and does it for her.  Being the Grimm Reaper she is used to seeing dead people everywhere she goes, so she thinks nothing of it when a departed little girl shows up under her bed, followed by another and another, totaling 27 departed women in her apartment. It’s like six sense all over.  The women appeared almost overnight and they all are scared and not talking and clearly in distress, Charley has never seen anything like it in her life.  Wanting to help these girls and also solve the mystery about  the arsonist burning up Albuquerque  and also trying to lay low so that Satan won’t send any more of his army after her, Charley has her hands full.  Her whit however, has not left her, and her ADD brain, Barbra is just as funny as ever.

“Yes! I’d nailed it!, I was an expert at nailing things. Ideas, two-by-fours, men with low self-esteem. If it could be nailed  I could nail it. I should probably change my name to the Nailer.”

 I could not stop laughing out loud (sometimes snorting) to this book!

But with Charley comes Reyes, THE son of Satan and so much more. Reyes is as deadly as he is hot and he want’s one thing. Charley.  I loved flirtatious banter they had going on it throughout the whole book, it made me really fall in love with their relationship, Even though certain people seem to be hell-bent(pun intended) to keep them apart, Reyes and Charley could care less.  Reyes is also as cocky as he is the son of Satan.

“Hey, wait.” I said, puling back, “you are the son of Satan. Maybe we should have a safe word.” His grim morphed into something wickedly charming.”Okay, how about , ‘Oh my god it’s so big.’”

I loved with book and all it’s twist and turns, as usual there were 50 different things going on at once, and just like her ADD, everything was all over the place. The running mystery behind Reyes and Charley’s history and future is still ever-present and I loved that there was more Reyes in this book than the last, and man, was he swoon worthy.

“I want you Dutch, body and soul  I want you in my bed every night. I want you there when I wake up every morning. I want your clothes strung across my apartment and your sent on my skin.”

Yea that was all sorts of

I was glued to this book until I was done, which was in one day and my Charley crush was renewed. The knowledge that was dropped in this book had me going ‘ooooohhhhh, i get it’, I can’t wait for the next book and as always Darynda did an excellent job.

Ever since I read Safe Word by Teresa I have been wanting to read all her new stuff. White Trash Beautiful surprised me as first, it’s nothing like Safe Word and I think that’s refreshing as much as I LOVE the romance and yes, sex, I also like the wholesome, muted sex books as well. In WTB, we are introduced to Cass,who is the epitome of  what you would think of a person who is, well white trash. Trailer, check, mom hooked on drugs and missing father figure, check, abusive man in her life, double-check and to top it all off she works at a local craptastic diner to help support her mom and drug addict/ abusive boyfriend. She has had a rough life, and has an ever rougher attitude to boot.

Cass was fine, saving her money so she could get the hell out of her life in search of something better. That something better was Tucker White, lead singer and front-man of a rock band called Damaged. They form a short of friendship despite her attitude, that Cass knows is dangerous because of her crack head boyfriend, Jax.

Still there is something about him that draws her in, and Tucker feels the same way. This book was heart wrenching in so many ways, because not only did it deal with physical abuse, but also drug abuse and it made me feel so very sorry for Cass. Even though she tried to put up a protective shield with her attitude, she still just wanted someone to take care of her for a change. Tucker comes from a somewhat similar background and he wants to take her away from her crappy life, to take care of her.

“It’s not your problem.”

“I don’t have a choice, from the moment I saw you , I didn’t have a choice. You come off so strong and brave and it’s obvious you are hurting. Someone is hurting you and no one is there to protect you.”

Tucker is every bit the rock star, tattoos and all(of course tattoos) but has the biggest soft spot for one person. Cass.

The ending was the explosive mess that I knew it would be but also very gut wrenching,which I didn’t know it would be.  I can’t wait read White Trash damaged to find out the second half of the story and how they recover from such traumatic events!

Teresa Mummert did a wonderful job with this story, it’s not all rainbows and sunshine but then again, what life is?

You can pre-order the book here before it come’s out on the 9th of this month.

And because I loved the book soooooo very much, I’m going to give you a chance to sign  up to win paper back copy of the book before it’s out! Contest ends the 8th, one day before release date, so hurry and enter below!. (US RES ONLY)

I(Vonetta) had the pleasure of meeting  Cora Carmack at BookBash Saturday and it was all types of awesome! So super friendly! I also am totes excited because I get to reveal the latest in the ‘Losing it’ series which is Kelsey’s book FINDING IT! A little about the book if you don’t already know:

Most girls would kill to spend months traveling around Europe after college graduation with no responsibility, no parents, and no-limit credit cards. Kelsey Summers is no exception. She’s having the time of her life…or that’s what she keeps telling herself.

It’s a lonely business trying to find out who you are, especially when you’re afraid you won’t like what you discover. No amount of drinking or dancing can chase away Kelsey’s loneliness, but maybe Jackson Hunt can. After a few chance meetings, he convinces her to take a journey of adventure instead of alcohol. With each new city and experience, Kelsey’s mind becomes a little clearer and her heart a little less hers. Jackson helps her unravel her own dreams and desires. But the more she learns about herself, the more Kelsey realizes how little she knows about Jackson.

Sound amazing right! Right! Well without further ado, ok well maybe a little ado because we have to add a gif…duh

OK, now here it the super awesome cover
