Goodreads Synopsis:

Kate has no time for meaningless romantic charades, and definitely no time for hot college professors who are full of themselves and smitten with her. Constantly battling eviction notices, tuition she can’t afford, and a sick, dependent mother, the last thing she needs is to be distracted with someone else’s complicated baggage. 

When she stumbles into Ryan Campbell’s creative writing class, he is only “Mr. Campbell” to her, until Ryan finds himself captivated by her writing and she is forced to face their mutual attraction. His cocky know-it-all syndrome is enough to send her running in the other direction, and his posse of female admirers and playboy reputation are enough to squander any odds in her favor. 

But underneath Ryan’s abrasive facade is something to behold, and she can’t stay away for long. Ryan and Kate must decide who they’re willing to become and fight against their former selves if they want to make things work. That’s if academia, vicious vixens, old skeletons, and their own mastery at self-destruction don’t pummel their efforts first

This week's question:

If you could read one book again for the first time,
which one would you pick and why?

I would pick A Rush of Wings by Adrian Phoenix this was officially my first delve into the Urban Fantasy Genre. That got me reading a whole new genre and now that I have started I can not get enough of it.  Now I would say that 90% of what I read is in the paranormal world setting. Not to mention I just love Dante from this fantastic series and I can not get enough of him. Adrian has created a fantastic world and characters to devour.

I would pick Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry because it was the very first book that I read. That was actually mine.

I would probably read  Halfway To The Grave by Jeaniene Frost. I remember I was having trouble downloading the book to read and everyone was saying you have to read this! Finally when I did, I was hooked!! LOVE the Nighthuntress Novels!!

Our Picks:


Title: Biting Cold
Author: Chloe Neill
Expected Published Date: August 7th 2012
Goodreads Synopsis:
Turned into a vampire against her will, twenty-eight-year-old Merit found her way into the dark circle of Chicago’s vampire underground, where she learned there was more to supernaturals than met the eye—and more supernaturals than the public ever imagined. And not all the secrets she learned were for sharing—among humans or inhumans.
Now Merit is on the hunt, charging across the stark American Midwest, tailing a rogue supernatural intent on stealing an ancient artifact that could unleash catastrophic evil on the world. But Merit is also the prey. An enemy of Chicagoland is hunting her, and he’ll stop at nothing to get the book for himself. No mercy allowed. No rules apply. No lives spared. The race is on.

Shadow Rising By Yasmine Galenorn Cover Reveal

Title: Shadow Rising
Author: Yasmine Galenorn
Series: Otherworld / Sisters of the Moon (#12)
Publisher: Berkeley
Release Date: October 30, 2012

Goodreads Synopsis
We're the D'Artigo sisters: sexy, savvy ex-operatives from the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. Being half human, half-Fae means our powers go haywire at all the wrong times. My sister Camille is a wicked-good witch, with three gorgeous husbands. My sister Delilah is a two-faced werecat and a Death Maiden. And me? I'm Menolly, a jian-tu turned vampire, and I'm dating a sexy werepuma and the godfather of vampires. Unfortunately, life is about to get very, very nasty...
Nerissa and I can't decide on what we want to do for our promise ceremony and we're bickering like an old married couple. My sisters and I head to Otherworld for a meeting with Queen Asteria, where we discover that Shadow Wing has dispatched Telazhar to reignite the Scorching Wars. And as soon as we return back home, we find Gulakah, the Lord of Ghosts, waging a battle to control the magical beings over Earthside. Caught between two terrible enemies in a battle spanning two worlds, we can only hope we're in time to stop all-out annihilation.

 
When I came across this I knew I had to share this is one of my all time favorite series. I love the D’Artigo Sisters.
