SYNOPSIS

* Book #1 in the Spirit Series *

While seventeen year-old Carrie Reese’s parents were working out the details of their divorce, she headed to Villisca, Iowa to stay with her grandparents.

Villisca was home to the infamous Axe Murder House…

It’s known to be haunted by the ghosts of the victims and their killer. Carrie doesn’t believe in ghosts, but the moving curtains and red flashes of light in the windows of Lot 310 were starting to give her reason to watch her back.

Then in walked Lucas…

Within days, Carrie knew she was in love. But Lucas seemed strange: his hands were cool and hollow, he barely touched his food, and there was sadness behind his brilliant green eyes.

Lucas was falling for Carrie but knowing that loving her puts her in grave danger, he reluctantly slips out of her life….

He struggles between staying away and telling Carrie his darkest secret. Unable to stand being apart from her any longer, he decides she must know.

Synopsis: A hopeless crush…


Back in high school, Allie McBride thought the sun set around Sam Fratto’s smiles, even if they were only friends. Now she’s older, wiser, hotter, and teaching at the same school they grew up in. When Sam joins the faculty, she has a chance to make good on the crush that got away. But when a dead body turns up on school grounds, they realize there might be a murderer in their midst. The heat keeps getting hotter between Allie and Sam, but more might be in danger than their hearts…


The cute kid from high school is all grown up…



A family crisis brings true-crime writer Sam Fratto back to town after more than a decade’s absence. Teaching at his alma mater seems like a good way to pass the time—especially when he sees that Allie, the geeky, sweet-mannered girl from high school, has blossomed into the saucy teacher in the classroom next door. Too bad finding a dead body transforms his return into one of his true-crime books come to life. And when it seems the killer might be after Allie next, it’s up to him to keep her safe…


A killer determined to keep the past buried at any price…


As if dealing with the return of one ghost from her past wasn’t enough, it looks like the killer might be the person they least suspected. Someone from the past. Someone with something to hide. Someone who thinks Allie and Sam are getting a little too close to the truth. If Allie and Sam are going to get out of this alive, these two friends to lovers will have to work together…or die together…

Author Bio:

Ashlee lives with her husband, two kids, a dog, and cat surrounded by the majestic mountains of her hometown of Salt Lake.


Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, she always wanted to know what it was like to live on the other side of the mountains. In college, she interned a semester in DC and later attended law school in Syracuse, New York, where she also ventured to Israel for a summer semester. After graduating law school with a taste of what it’s like living in the bigger world, she moved back home to Salt Lake and took the Utah Bar Exam, got married, and settled in with her hubby and two wonderful kids. After a few more years in the legal realm, she grew restless and turned her pen to one of her first loves—writing stories.


Currently, when she’s not working the day job as in-house counsel, she spends her time with the family and squeezing in writing time—anything to avoid the housekeeping. Just kidding, honey! ;)


She writes with romance and humor at the heart of every story—and a healthy dash of mystery and suspense.


Hopefully she pulls it off.

About Joan:

When I'm not working on a book I can often be found sipping a  latte at my local cafe and indulging my favorite past-time of people watching.
Growing up in Vancouver, Canada, I always wanted to be a writer. In university I took a detour to study marine biology. I worked as an environmental biologist for many years until the birth of my first child.
I loved staying at home with my kids because not only could I  raise them myself but I could indulge my first love -- writing. I soon realized story-telling was what I was always meant to do.
Twenty years later I'm still hooked on writing. I've published over twenty-five books with Harlequin. I'm now writing for Entangled Publishing and have a couple of self-publishing projects on the go.
I live in Melbourne, Australia, with my husband and three grown children. As well as writing and hanging out in cafes (Melbourne has the best coffee!) I go to the gym, walk my dog, cook, hike, garden, swim and read. I belong to Toastmasters Club and numerous writing organizations.

Un bărbat se întoarce în locurile în care a copilărit pentru a participa la o înmormântare. Acesta este momentul în care ies la iveală întâmplări stranii şi înfricoşătoare prin care a trecut, la vârsta de şapte ani, alături de trei persoane extraordinare: micuţa Lettie Hempstock (pentru care iazul de la capătul aleii este un ocean), mama şi bunica acesteia (care susţine că îşi aminteşte de începuturile lumii şi de Big Bang).Harul de povestitor al lui Neil Gaiman nu se dezminte nici de această dată: într-o istorisire plină de suspans şi poezie ni se dezvăluie o lume magică ale cărei creaturi fantastice vorbesc cea dintâi limbă, cea a creaţiei, în care orice ai rosti devine real.Pe scurt, Oceanul de la capătul aleii este o carte pentru adulţi, despre fantasmele copilăriei.


My opinion:


Vroiam de ceva timp sa citesc aceasta carte si ma bucur enorm de mult ca a fost tradusa si la noi. Este prima carte pe care o citesc despre acest autor, deci nu prea am stiut la ce sa ma astept.

Am vazut acum ceva timp pe Goodreads coperta si instantaneu mi-am dorit sa o citesc. Asa ca atunci cand am vazut ca a aparut si la noi, si mai ales ca a fost si o schimbare de coperta, stiam neaparat ca trebuie sa o am.

Inca sunt putin indecisa in ceea ce priveste acesta carte. Inceputul ei… mi s-a parut putin… nu stiu… pentru copii. Pentru ca nu am citit descrierea ei si m-am lasat atrasa doar de frumusetea coperti, am crezut ca am facut o greseala cumparand-o. Insa, doar pe la mijlocului ei am inceput sa o inteleg. Mi-a placut enorm misterele cartii. Pentru ca toata cartea a fost un mister. Chiar si dupa incheierea ei nu stii majoritatea lucrurilor petrecute in carte. Parca toate magia cartii emanate te cuprinde.

Mi sa parut putin ciudat la inceput pentru ca nu puteam intelege de ce copilul acela nu e curios. Curios de ce se intampla in jurul lui si de ce lucrurile acelea se intampla. Cred ca acesta a fost impedimentul meu in neintelegerea cartii. Doar dupa aceea realizezi ca nu trebuie sa te intrebi de ce ca sa o intelegi. Trebuie sa o traiesti. Iar atunci, pur si simplu o s-o adori.

Cum spune si decrierea cartii, este o poveste de copii destinata adultilor. Si cine nu ar mai vrea sa traiasca inca odata copilaria fara sa stie lucrurile vietii, si randuiala adultilor.

Recomanda tuturor acesta carte. Pentru ca e usor de citit si mai ales este o poveste unica cum nu ai mai intalnit. O sa te indragostesti pe loc de ea. :)

Favorite quotes:

"Cartile erau mai sigure decat oamenii, oricum."

"Daca fata se uita la ce nu eram si, stiam ca nu era asa, fiindca as fi fost tot eu, indiferent ce se intampla cu fata mea, atunci ce era eu? Si ce anu privea?"

"M-am lasat sa ma pierd intr-o carte. Acolo evadam de fiecare data cand viata reala era prea dificila sau prea rigida."

"Crescand, cartile mi-au servit multe indicii. M-au invatat majoritatea lucrurilor pe care le stiam despre ce fac oamenii si despre cum sa ma port. Mi-au fost profesori si consilieri."

"Sa fii un om nu e un test pe care sa-l treci sau sa-l pici."

Hollywood Temptation by Scarlet Wilson


About the book:
Hollywood surgeon Colt Travers needs a new receptionist ASAP. When the adorable—and completely broke—Selena Harris comes in needing stitches, he takes a risk and hires her on the spot. She can pay off her bill, and he won’t have to answer the phone anymore. They're opposites in every way, and she's exactly what he doesn’t want in a woman—impulsive, carefree, and amusing. He's trying to resist her, but the longer she's around, the further he sinks into temptation.

Selena never meant to get herself in such deep financial straits. LA has way too much temptation, from high-end shopping to gorgeous men, and now her life is in chaos. But Colt is different—responsible and noble—and although their chemistry is off the charts, he’s keeping her at arm’s length. She's determined to win his trust--and his heart--but will the secrets she's desperately trying to hide ruin their chance for a big Hollywood happy ending?

Excerpt:

A car skidded to a halt outside. He stood up and walked over to the window. It wasn’t the type of car that normally appeared in their parking lot. Not the usual parking spot, either. It was usually cars-for-the-stars around here. But this was a run-of-the-mill car. He watched as a blonde bombshell emerged from the car, pressing something to her head. There was a parking
lot directly to her left. It was clearly marked. She had practically blocked the driveway parked there. Another woman who thought the rules were made for everyone else.
She looked upward and he caught his breath. Even in her disheveled state he could see she was a knockout. Blond hair around her shoulders, lovely bone structure—the one thing a plastic surgeon always noted—lightly tanned skin, curves in all the right places, and fuchsia-pink lips. His favorite color on a woman.
He watched as she struggled to straighten her blouse and skirt with one hand, a signature handbag weighing her down as she continued to press something to her head. She stumbled. He winced. The last thing they needed was someone to fall on their way into the clinic and sue them. Bad publicity and lawsuits were not what they needed right now.
Something was caught around her ankle. He could see the bright scrap catching on the stiletto heel of her shoe. She stopped and dumped her bag on the ground then bent down to retrieve the wayward piece of material. Her head shot back up quickly, glancing at all the windows in the clinic. Her face was scarlet.
It wasn’t. It couldn’t be.
Yes, it was.
Colt couldn’t stop the hearty laugh he let out as she bent down and stuffed the pink thong into her bag.

SYNOPSIS

Dear Diary,

Leukemia’s been my life since I was eleven. Now, six years later, I want my life back. Only I’m not sure what that is. The test results came back today. 22,000. Which means I’m officially out of remission—again. I have three options:

1) Another round of chemo.
2) A super-new experimental drug.
3) Dump it all— forget the meds and treatments and enjoy the time I have left.

I think I know what I want. Then, in walks Damian, changing everything.

I mean, everything…

He’s got his own set of issues. It binds us together, you know? We understand what it’s like to lose what matters most in seconds. Still, the last thing I need is to have someone else to crush if I can’t fight hard enough. And the last thing he needs is someone else to grieve.

Never mind. I’m down to two options now.

Somehow I know that whichever one I choose, the result will be the same. With the sand in my hourglass seeping to the bottom, I hope there’s enough left to show Damian that life’s worth living.

Worth fighting for. Worth dying for.

Love Always,
Kate

Recenzie Invitatie la vals

Invitaţie la vals este un roman de dragoste scris de către Mihail Drumeş. Printre scrierile autorului se numara si Elevul Dima dintr-a şaptea şi Scrisoare de dragoste.

Romanul prezintă viaţa personajului principal masculin, felul in care se dezvoltă acesta, cum gândeşte şi nu în ultimul rând…cum iubeşte. Obişnuit să îşi seducă amantele, să le aibă şi apoi să le părăsească, numai de dragul sentimentului de măreţie, trufie, pe care îl simte atunci când ele îi cerşesc împăcarea, el îşi primeşte pedeapsa prin dragostea vieţii sale, Mihaela.



My opinion:


Probabil multa lume de la noi a citit deja aceasta carte si stie despre ce e vorba. Cei care ati facut-o, bravo voua. Cei care nu, trebuie sa va apucati neaparat de ea.

Am auzit prima data de ea, spre rusinea mea, in clasa a X- a de la o prietena de a mea, care nu tare era in pasiuniile cititului; a spus ca acesta carte i-a schimbat perspectiva asupra lumii, si, of course, asupra literaturii noastre romane. Am luat-o ca pe un lucru bun, si mai ales ca pe un soc. Si totusi, de ce mi-a trebui atat de mult pana sa o citesc? Pentru ca doar acum as fi putut intelege aceasta carte, pentru a-mi aminti de puterea cuvintelor in favoarea dragostei.


Invitatie la vals este vorba despre o iubire atat de pasionala, si atat de magica cum nu crezi ca ai mai intalnit vreodata. Povestea celor doi tineri, si mai ales timpul mitic in care se plaseaza este ceea ce-l face pe cititor sa dainuiasca intr-o pura magie. Pentru ca acesta carte este o magie. Vraja care te invaluie din primul pasaj al cartii, lumea care iti este descrisa… Imi era dor de o astfel de lume. Unde nu predomina doar sexul, doar lacomia, doar uratenia sufletului si scopul principal de a rani pe alti.

Acesta carte iti schimba perpectiva gandirii asupra dragostei, si cel mai importat asupra geloziei. Iti prezinta o gelozie, nu bolnavicioasa, ci contructiva. O gelozie care te face sa-ti doresti sa ajuti oamenilor doar pentru a le arata ca tu poti. Tu esti capabil de lucruri marete,  chiar daca lucrurile dintre noi odata prezente, nu mai sunt vesnice.

Am adorat acesta iubire. Am adorat multitudinea de metafore si filozofie din declaratiile celor doi. Am adorat aceasta iubire care iti ucide inima si sufletul.

Invitatie la vals ce ceea ce merita literatura noastra romana.


Favorite quotes:

“Tarmul lumii pe care l-am parasit e mult prea departe, si, chiar daca m-ar ademeni calea intoarsa, tot degeaba-i: nu mai am putere sa vreau.”

“…pasiunile fug de lumina – lumina le omoara.”

“ – Ce mai faci, domnule Petrican?
 Acesta intrebare insotita de zambet a marcat inceputul tragediei mele.”

“Ce e dragostea decat o taina pe care o acund indragostitii si o poarta in umbra, de frica luminii?”

“Tu esti, Micaela, aceea pe care o caut fara s-o gasesc? Aceea pe care o astept si nu vine? Aceea careia ii scriu si nu-mi raspunde? Mi se pare ca te vad in toate femeiile si nu tea flu in niciuna. Te simt cand prezenta, cand plecata – totusi mereu actuala. Daca uneori te prind de mana, faptura ta se topeste ca un fulg de zapada…”

“Stiu ca mi-o vei inapoia. Nu-I nimic. Asta e soarta scrisorilor mele. Imi ajunge s-o citesti. Si ai sa citesti zilnic de acum inainte, luni, ani, ceea ce se petrece in sufletul meu, daca nu vii sa-mi iei mainile sis a descoperi in ochii mei marea dragoste pe care mi-ai sadit-o sip e care nu poti s-o sfarami orice ai face, pentru ca e opera ta, nu a mea.”
“Numai lipsa unui obiect ori a unei finite care ne-a apartinut odata ne pune in lumina adevaratul pret.”

“Mi se pare – imi spuneam – ca deocamdata nu iubesc… decat iubirea.”

“O sarutam pe ochi, pe fata, pe gat, pe umeri, cu frenezie smintita, parca mi-era frica sa nu se volatilizeze in aer ca o intruchipare sintetica, iar eu sa raman pururi insetat de ea.”

“Pe o femeie o cuceresti usor, dar o pastrezi cu greu.”

“Nu, n-o iubesc. Totul nu se reduce decat la o betie a simturilor, o sete capiata de faptura ei. Dup ace-mi potolesc aceasta sete, sunt sigur c-o voi uita ca si cand izvorul ei miraculos nici n-ar fi fost pe lume.”

“Intotdeuna indragostitii au o lumina ciudata pe fata lor, care-l deosebeste pe unul dintr-o mie de oameni.”

“- Asta-i prima sarutare pe Marea Neagra!
-As vrea sa ma saruti pe toate marile pamantului!”

“Aici, in ochii astia frumosi, locuieste puterea ta.”

“Ne trebuie o capacitate de a suferi prea mare si nu stiu dac-o avem. De altfel, alesii dragostei absolute sunt exceptii tot atat de rare ca si geniile…”

“ Oricum – era de preferat iadul cu o femeie desteapta, decat paradisul cu una proasta…”

“- La ce te gandesti?
 -Cum as face sa ne salvam iubirea de calaul ei, Timpul?”

“- Luminatia ta, mi-a spus, prosternandu-se ca in fata sultanului, creau sa fac parte din haremul tau, eu fiind intotdeauna favorita ta…”

“Timpul curge uniform pentru toata lumea, ca apa unui rau. Numai ca oamenii de pe mal nu merg la fel. Batranii se misca anevoie, raman mereu in urma apei si de aceea li se pare ca timpul trece atat de repede. Noi, tinerii, alegam vartos, lasand timpul mereu in urma noastra.”

“Nu sorbi prea insetat din fericire, caci fericirea e insatiabila ca apa sarata a naufragiatului: cu cat bei, cu atat iti creste setea.”

“Inima unei femei nu se topeste chiar daca ai arunca-o la cuptoarele soarelui, o lacrima insa o inmoaie.”

“Banii se pot cheltui, chiar pierde. Averea mintii ramane insa neatinsa: nu s-a nascut acum hotul care s-o fure.”

“Pe cand noi, femeile, cand iubim, ne dam integral mistuindu-ne in asa fel, incat nu ne ramane decat umbra celor ce a fost. Iata de ce prabusirea noastra in lipsa coloanei vertebrale e asa de catastrofala.”

“Si inca ceva: trebuie sa stii ca nicio razbunare nu e mai cumplita ca aceea ce izvoraste din dragoste.”

Dyed and Gone by Beth Yarnall Blog Tour





Synopsis: Hairstylist Azalea March is looking forward to a wild weekend in Las Vegas with her friends. Oh, sure, they’re supposed to be there on business, attending the biggest hair show on the west coast, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have a little fun. But fun quickly turns to drama. On the first morning of the show, Dhane, the biggest celeb of the hair-styling world, is found dead. As it urns out Azalea’s friend, Vivian, not only knew Dhane, but the tale she weaves of how they met is faker than a showgirl’s uh… assets. When Vivian confesses to the murder and is arrested, Azalea knows there’s no way she could have done it and suspects Vivian may be trying to protect someone. But who?

Azalea now has to convince Alex, the sexy detective from her past, to help her prove Vivian’s innocence and comb through clues more twisted than a spiral perm. But the truth is stranger than anything found on the Las Vegas Strip, and proving Vivian’s innocence turns out to be more difficult than transforming a brunette into a blonde.
