ANGIE E'S 2013 YEAR END REVIEW

 So this year was a big year for me. It was crazy in all aspects of life. We (Angie J and I ) started this blog a little over a year ago. I remember her asking me and I was like HMMM well SURE. Never imagined it would grow this big. We are so grateful for all of our followers. The blog grew so fast that additions were needed and that how Twinsie Jo, Twinsie Brenda, Twinsie Melinda and Twinsie Jen became TWINSIES. They like trouble as much as Angie J and I do. Shhhhh Angie J is head trouble maker.. hahaha just kidding. LOVE HER !!!!! The friendships with these gals are great they have helped me not only through book stuff but real life situations. YOU GALS ARE GREAT !

So I started this year being being 3 months preggo. FUN FUN HUH? so you can imagine not much reading was accomplished ( I hear all those crying with me in understanding) THANK YOU. I did get to however read some AMAZING books in between all the baby books. I also got to meet some AWESOME authors and Twinsie Angie J and Twinsie Melinda =)

 

 What book signing wouldn't be complete unless Tara Sivic was groping someone. OK OK OK.... she was sweetly rubbing my belly.

 

 

 

So the Nashville book signing was a BLAST. I got to meet Katie Ashley, Tara Sivec, and Jasinda Wilder...and got some baby love <3 p="">

 

 

 

 

 

Ok on the books. Like I said this year reading have been SUCKY for me. Not enough reading time with the birth of Baby Girl.  So here are a few books that I did enjoy and will DEFINTATELY re-read.

 

Wounded by Jasinda Wilder

 

This book is so dark twisted and violent..... yet beautiful, sensual and intense.

 

 

 

 

Relentless by Cassia Leo

 

 This book was so amazingly awesome and filled with so much drama that I gushed about it for WEEKS afterwards. I totally found my girly crush love for Cassia with this book.

 

 

 

 

Reckless by SC Stephens

 

This book was the PERFECT ending to this series.

 

 

 

Falling Into You by Jasinda Wilder

 

OMGOSH ! This book was INCREDIBLE.... REMARKABLE...and literally BLEW MY M IND. Unlike Jasinda's other books. She took me on such a journey. It was amazing.

 

 

 

Lover At Last by JR Ward

 

I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK !!!!!  I waited so long and was NOT disappointed at all. To see Qhuay finally have their story and HEA was in my opinion BEST BOOK of the series

 

 

 

Because Of You by Tara Sivec

 

This book really showed Tara could do write ANYTHING. This book is special to me because well. I was mentioned in acknowledments. SHE LOVES ME.... SHE REALLY DOES... well love is such a strong word. =) Anywho.... This book like the first was a SEXY mystery till the end.

 

 

Break Me by Jo-Anna Walker

 

I got the AWESOME privaledge to BETA for Jo and meet Sebastion FIRST... For Jo's first book she done a great job. This book had so much HOTNESS it's a panty wetter.

 

 

 

 

Pieces of You by Cassia Leo

 

Another mind blowing book from Cassia. This series has me sooo hooked I was racing to finish it. I couldn't put it down. I NEEDED to finish it.  This had so many emotions wrapped up it was unbelievable

 

 

 

 

Watch Over Me by Tara Sivec

 

This book had my IFFY to read at first . Tara scared me. She's kinda scary. BUT.... I"m so glad I did. It was so emotional it drained me literally but it was worth EVERY tear I shed

 

 

 

 

 

Always Me by Jo-Anna Walker

 

Again. I LOVE Jo for letting me BETA this book. This series is awesome and gets better and better with each book. I love the TWIST this book had. Just when you THINK you had it all figured out. THINK AGAIN =)

 

 

This year was slow for reading for me I'm hoping to pick it up next year and look forward to my 2014 year end review. HAPPY READING

WOUNDED by Jasinda Wilder

Book Blurb:

War has taken everything from me. My family. My home. My innocence. In a country blasted by war and wracked by economic hardship, a young orphan girl like me has very few options when it comes to survival. Thus, I do what I must to live, to eat, and I try very hard to not consider the cost to my soul. My heart is empty, and my existence brutal.

The one impossibility in my life is love.

And then I meet HIM.

War is hell. It takes a chunk out of a man's very soul to do the kinds of things war demands of you. You live with fear, you live with guilt, and you live with nightmares. If you haven't been through it, there's no understanding it. War leaves no room for love, no room for tenderness or softness. You gotta be hard, closed off, and ready to fight every moment of every day. Lose focus for a split second, and you're dead.

Now the only thing that can save me is HER.


Angie's Review:

This book is unlike Jasinda’s other stories. This one is DARK , TWISTED, and VIOLENT… YET….BEAUTIFUL, SENSUAL, and INTENSE. I loved the way she gets so INSIDE the characters head. The way Jasinda lets the readers inside of Rania’s head lets them FEEL and UNDERSTAND more of who she is ? why she has done what she’s done? The way Jasinda tell’s Rania’s point of view it’s as if you ARE Rania. You feel her emotions. She does the same for Hunter. Hunter has had a troubled past and is just looking to move on with his life. He didn’t count on falling for one of the local girls. Jasinda does the same with Hunters point of view. She lets us in on EVERY aspect of his pain, emotional ties and the journey of trying to resist Rania. There story had me all over the place emotional wise. I felt sorrow, pain, love, angst, and romance. I was SURPRISED by reading this. I was not expecting to like it as well as I did. It started off slowly but after Rania and Hunter finally meet…..it held my attention through out to the end….GREAT JOB ON THIS JASINDA !

Rock Stars Do It Harder by Jasinda Wilder

Book Blurb:

***Rock Stars Do It Harder is the pilot story for a Big Girls spinoff-sequel series. It is best to read this after the Big Girls Do It books 1-5 to avoid major spoilers.***

Chase Delany is a rock star. Rock stars are expected to rock hard onstage and party even harder offstage. Chase is living up to those expectations, and then some. He leaves everything he's got onstage, and drowns the ache in his soul at the bottom of a tequila bottle. And then there are the girls. They throw themselves at him nonstop, a never-ending train of hot girls who want in his signature tight leather pants. The problem? Nothing, no amount of booze and no amount of backstage sex can heal the cracks in his heart left by Anna's rejection. And then he runs into Jamie. Anna's best friend. The one girl in the whole world who is off limits to him. The one girl who happens to be the one thing that seems to soothe the hurt inside him. Forgetting her proves to be impossible.

Jamie Dunleavy has always been an enthusiastic practitioner of the sexual arts. She's never apologized for it, and she owns it. She's been known to admit--to her best friend Anna Devine, at least--that she's a bit of a slut. Her deep, dark secret? She's tired of it. She doesn't want to be that girl anymore. She wants love, now more than ever, having watching Anna find her own happily-ever-after. So who does she find herself falling for? Chase Delany. Anna's very recent ex. A rockstar, and the one guy she knows she can't ever, ever be with. You don't bang your best friend's ex. You just don't. It's the one hard and fast rule of best friendship. Except, no matter how hard she tries to forget him, she can't seem to shake the image of his dark eyes and sexy tattoos and those lips she wants so badly to kiss and kiss until neither of them can breathe. She can't forget him, and she can't ever have him.

Angie J's Review:

I was given a copy of this book by the author for an honest review.

OMG I loved this book. It is a very quick but hawt read. Chase is one naughty boy who is so caught up in his heartache for Anna he is blindsided by a quick and passionate kiss with her best friend Jamie. The book is about the 2 of them trying to ignore the passion they are feeling because of the "Anna issue". It was hawt how Chase dealt with it while Jamie and 'Big Ben" not so much but kinda funny!!! I will never forget that scene and neither will she for that matter!  Curious aren't ya????

I think this book did a great job getting Jamie and Chase all kindas of confused about what they want with the other person. I love the ending and the set up for book 2!! CANNOT WAIT!!

Jo-Anna's Review:

Wow!! This book was hot!! It was short but super spicey. I loved it! I love rockstars and Chase? Oh. My. Gosh. SWOON!! A certain scene involving 4 people after a night of playing Strip Poker, was...let me just sum it up in one word..WOW! 
Also, I freaking love Jamie! Her and her trucker mouth rules!

This is my first story that I've read of Jacinda's and I'm glad and thankful that I had the opportunity to read it. I look forward to reading her other stuff and I CANNOT wait until the next book!!!

Book Clip that is rated PG!!! 

 (We like naughty clips but are saving the GOOD ones for the book!)

Jamie lifted her chin to gaze up at him, her palms caressing the stubble on his scalp at the back of his head.  She knew she shouldn't be here.  She knew this couldn't be, couldn't happen, but it already was happening.

She lifted up on her toes to kiss him, and something deep in her heart caught, tripped and shattered. His lips were tender on hers, tasting her mouth, not demanding more but exploring, treasuring.

His palm slid down her ass to pull up the skirt, and she desperately, frantically wanted him to lift it, to touch her bare skin.

NO she couldn't do this to Anna.

BIG GIRLS DO IT SERIES

~Big Girls Do It Better
Gorgeous, rock-star guys like Chase Delany don't go for girls like me. They go for supermodels and actresses, skinny-girls who never eat and spend all day working out. I'm not that girl. So when he locked his fiery brown eyes on me for the first time, I couldn't quite believe it was really happening to me.

It was the second night I spent with him that I'll never forget.

~Big Girls Do It WetterChase went to New York...without me. It was only one night, one delicious, sinful night, but it awakened something within me, and now, with him gone, I have no one to satiate my sudden, ferocious hunger. Then I woke up one day and looked at someone near and dear to me in a whole new light. And my world was rocked once again.

~Big Girls Do It Wilder
I'm going. Going to New York City to be with gorgeous, mysterious, rockstar Chase Delany seemed like a crazy dream, a fantasy come true. The bright lights and music, and his tight, sexy leather pants called to me...and I answered. Chase might want more and I just might give it to him, if I could only forget what I started with Jeff back in Detroit.

I thought I had my love life all figured out, I thought I knew what I wanted, and then things went and changed on me all over again...

~Big Girls Do It On Top
I fled New York with my heart breaking and a million questions. Foremost in my mind was whether Jeff would even see me after the colossal mess that New York turned out to be.

I discovered the answer, but that only spawned even more questions, many of the yes or no variety...

BIKER BILLIONAIRE SERIES


~A WILD RIDEThe night I met Shane Sorrenson started off as the worst one of my life. I had just broken up with my fiance, John, after a huge fight. I decided I would rather walk home in the rain than drive with him another minute. Then Shane pulled up next to me on his Harley. He was huge, sexy and dangerous. Everything I'd never even dared fantasize about. I should have made him take me to a hotel, or a friend's house, or anywhere. Instead, I let him take me to his condo where he turned the worst night of my life into the most erotic, sensual experience I never would have imagined in my wildest dreams.

~THE MILE HIGH CLUB
Well, I went with Shane. Crazy? Yes. But it was the ride of a lifetime. The things we did on his private jet...my god.

It turned out, however, that I'd gotten myself into way more than I'd bargained for. I didn't even know he had a private jet, for starters. There's quite a lot I don't know about Shane Sorrenson, I discovered.

I find myself faced with yet another last-minute decision that will change my life all over again. In a world of turbulent change, the one constant that I can rely on is hot sex with Shane.

~RIDING THE HEIR
I jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire, it seems. I had a feeling there were some things about himself Shane Sorrenson was keeping from me. I mean, I knew his family was wealthy, but it turns out he is too. And now I've found my life, both day and night, becoming far more than I'd ever imagined it could be. Along the way, I've discovered a whole new side of Shane...
