The Son and His Hope by Pepper Winters + MY REVIEW!

The Son and His Hope by Pepper Winters

Release Date: February 12th

The Son and His Hope, a sweeping standalone from New York Times Bestselling author Pepper Winters.

“Things you should know about me from the very beginning:

I was born to true love, witnessed the destruction it causes, and vowed never to let such agony happen to me. I am not a story-teller like my father. I am not a writer like my mother. I am just a son—their son.

I am happy being alone.

And that is all I ever want to be.”

JACOB

The day he was born, Jacob learned his hardest and longest lesson.

It wasn’t a lesson a boy should learn so young, but from his earliest memories he knew where happiness lives, so does tragedy. Where love exists, so does heartbreak. And where hope resides, so does sorrow.

That lesson carved him from the kid to the teen to the man.

And nothing and no one could change his mind.

HOPE

I first met him when he was fourteen at a movie premiere of all places. A movie based on his parent’s life.

He was stoic, strong, suspicious, and secretive.

I was only ten, but I felt something for him. A strange kind of sorrow that made me want to hug and heal him.

I was the daughter of the actor hired to play his father.

We shared similarities.

I recognised parts of him because they were parts of me.

But no matter how many times we met. No matter how many times I tried.

He stayed true to his vow to never fall.

My Review

The Son & His Hope by Pepper Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

"She was maddening and frightening and everything I'd always avoided. Yet having her in my arms, I was free."

I am an absolute mess after reading this book! It was such a beautiful yet heartbreaking read. Hope and Jacobs relationship will take you on the most exhausting and down right heartbreaking ride that you will ever willing go on. I don’t know how many times I literally wanted to just hold Hope and tell her that she was such a brave and beautiful person. She is truly an angel sent from heaven from Ren to his son. My heart completely broke for at 83% I cried so dang hard for her. Enough about that though. What truly made this book what it is was the writing! The writing was beyond amazing and beautiful! It was perfection!
This story was so emotional crippling it was truly hard for me to get thru. It will break you and build you back up to literally rip you apart again, but that is what makes this story so beautiful and utterly unforgettable! I will carry this series with me now and forever!

"Love can sometimes be the worst weapon."

"Because love....that was the most dangerous thing a person could do."

“He was the penny on the street you picked up for good luck. The four-leaf clover you tucked into the pages of a book for good fortune. The wish you made to the starry sky, believing there had to be more than this.”

“I’d asked Dad why he put up with abuse—because it was emotional and physical abuse. And he’d said it was our job to be the carers of those who carry the pain. Pain could manifest in many ways, and it wasn’t up to us to point out how hurtful and cruel such pain could be. We had to be brave and show the hurting that they could share their agony or deliver their agony. Either way, there would be no judgment or condemnation. Only love.”

“Because the world wouldn’t be the same without love. Humanity wouldn’t exist. The cycle of life wouldn’t exist. Nothing would exist.”

Verity by Colleen Hoover Review

Synopsis: 

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of bestselling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. 

Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity’s notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn’t expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read. Page after page of bone-chilling admissions, including Verity's recollection of the night their family was forever altered. 

Lowen decides to keep the manuscript hidden from Jeremy, knowing its contents would devastate the already grieving father. But as Lowen’s feelings for Jeremy begin to intensify, she recognizes all the ways she could benefit if he were to read his wife’s words. After all, no matter how devoted Jeremy is to his injured wife, a truth this horrifying would make it impossible for him to continue to love her. 

A standalone romantic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, releasing December 7th.

My Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Verity by Colleen Hoover

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“What you read will taste so bad at times, you’ll want to spit it out, but you’ll swallow these words and they will become part of you, part of your gut, and you will hurt because of them.”

Hands down one of the best books I've read this year!

This book was SO incredibly different than anything Colleen Hoover has ever written and I absolutely LOVED it! I did not know she had it in her, It was riveting, dark and so dang compelling. It's was refreshing and down right disturbing, It was mind blowing!

I NEVER seen that ending coming! This book was absolutely astonishing!

The MUST read of 2018!!

*ARC given for my honest opinion.*

Quotes:

"The world was her manuscript. No surface was safe." 

"You can’t look at someone the way he looked at me—with the entirety of your past—if you aren’t also imagining your future.”

"And that’s what love at first sight is. It isn’t really love at first sight until you’ve been with the person long enough for it to become love at first sight."

”But when a person finds someone who makes all the negativity in their lives disappear, it’s hard not to want to feed off that person. I fed off Jeremy in order to keep my soul alive. It was starving and shriveled before I met him, but being in his presence nourished my wilted soul.”

Evil by Tijan Blog Tour & Review

Title: Evil

Author: Tijan

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release Date: May 13, 2016

You know that group of people in school that everyone fears? Popular. Beautiful. The in-crowd?

That was my family. Kind of.  

We were above that group. We held court over everyone else. We were the best looking. We were the mysterious and elusive ones. Most of the girls wanted to (and did) date the guys, but they didn’t want to be one of us. They couldn’t be. They were our prey.

We were the feared.

But like every family, nothing is as it seems. That was my truth. 

Kellan was in his own league. He was our leader and he was the one no one messed with. No one dared. He was ruthless, powerful, and no one could match him.

Except for me.

I was about to find out just how different I was from my family.

**Evil is a full-length paranormal romance stand-alone.

As I drove through the backstreets of Poehler and headed out of town, I saw Leah and a few others leaving one of the pizza places, like a normal teenager enjoying time with her friends.

I’d never been a part of that world. None of the Bradens had. And for some reason, it never bothered us. We were meant for different things. Still…a part of me wished things could’ve been different. That I could’ve grown up as a normal girl with a normal family and even a normal boyfriend.

When I slowed and turned onto the gravel road that led to my home, I knew it was useless to wish that.

I wasn’t normal. No one in my family was, but it would’ve been nice to know what normal felt like.

We lived in a three-story brick house. And as I parked to the left of the garage, I cursed when I saw that every single light was off. That didn’t mean everyone was asleep, not in my family. It meant that they were outside, probably down by the river.

It was a little reprieve for me.

I let myself in to the empty house, kept the lights off, toed off my sandals, and moved into the kitchen. The bare tile felt cool underneath my feet. As I opened the fridge, I pulled out a container of orange juice and then screamed.

Kellan stood right behind me, a foreboding expression on his face.

“Oh God.” I laughed, weakly, as I set down the orange juice. “You gave me a heart attack just now.”

Kellan cocked his head to the side, his eyes on mine.

When I shut the door, the fridge’s light was replaced by the moonlight. It fell over his face and gave him a shadowed, mysterious look. Anyone else would’ve shuddered in scared anticipation. I just shuddered because it was cold.

“What?” I asked. Kellan had something to say, I could tell. I didn’t have the patience to play his games.

“Where were you?” he asked, his voice low and gruff, almost raw.

“I had things to do. What are you talking about? I told you that.” I wanted him to leave it alone. I didn’t want to tell him about the painting, not after so many years of secrecy.

“No, you didn’t tell me anything. And I knew you didn’t want me to ask, just like you never want me to ask.” Kellan moved forward and leaned against the fridge. I knew he didn’t intend it, but his stance seemed predatory.

“I saw Leah leaving the pizza place tonight. You sure you want to miss out on that?” I asked nervously. I downed the rest of the orange juice, and when I turned toward the sink, Kellan grabbed my arm and hauled me back.

“What?” I asked. Kellan had never been intentionally rough with me. I’d never seen it, but I knew he had it in him. In fact, something told me that he had a lot in him that I wouldn’t want to know.

His fingers tightened on my arm. “What were you doing tonight?”

I looked at his hand, almost distantly, though I felt the pain intimately. “Don’t ask me that.”

“Why? Are you going to tell me the truth?”

I looked up and met his gaze. His eyes were a piercing blue, so beautiful to look at, but I swallowed and steadied myself. “I would lie. And I don’t want to lie to you.” 

Hello~ (waves)

I didn't begin writing until after undergraduate college. There'd been storylines and characters in my head all my life, but it came to a boiling point one day and I HAD to get them out of me. So the computer was booted up and I FINALLY felt it click. Writing is what I needed to do. After that, I had to teach myself how to write. I can't blame my teachers for not teaching me all those years in school. It was my fault. I was one of the students that was wishing I was anywhere but at school! So after that day, it took me lots of work until I was able to put together something that resembled a novel. I'm hoping I got it right since someone must be reading this profile! And I hope you keep enjoying my future stories.

My Review

I had started reading this as soon it was posted on Wattpad and was completely obsessed. So when I received an ARC of it I was over the moon.
I was hooked from the very first page, I loved the mystery. It was spell binding and thrilling till the very end.
Tijan is an amazing writer and I will read anything she writes! 

Release blitz for The Sound of Serendipity by Cynthia A. Rodriguez

 

Title: The Sound of Serendipity

Author: Cynthia A. Rodriguez

Release Date: April 14, 2016

Find on Goodreads

 

 

 

So many things can happen to a person on a Central Park bench.

 

For Emerson Kingsley, falling in love happened, despite her broken monster of a heart.

 

Emerson knows more about listening than she does about love, whether it’s listening to artists as a music producer or listening to stories as she people watches.

 

Months of watching Maddox Bailey from a park bench are to blame for her infatuation. In her mind, the moment they meet will be spectacular if she ever finds the nerve to speak to him.

 

But when the two share an awkward cab ride, she realizes that maybe fantasies are meant to stay that way.

 

The only problem is, now that they’ve met, he keeps popping up in her life. Each time he does, Emerson finds the real-life Maddox to be better than anything she could’ve dreamed—sexy, passionate, and sweeter than his chocolate brown eyes.

 

A woman in love with possibilities meets a man determined to make them happen.

We’re inside his apartment and I hope he doesn’t notice the way I’m clamming up. He’s in the kitchen, pouring us each a glass of wine and the dull romantic lighting is making me wish that I knew how to do this. How to initiate. How to be someone other than Emerson Kingsley; no virgin but no sex goddess either.

 

“Are you planning on leaving?” he asks when he walks over to me with both glasses in hand and I shake my head. “You can take off your coat. If you’re staying.”

 

I unbutton the large wooden buttons, slide the wool off my body and fold it over the top of his couch. He’s standing there, watching me with a smile in his brown eyes.

 

“You can take your shoes off too,” he suggests and I step out of them. My bare feet pad against the wood floor as I make my way to him.

 

“Thanks.” I take the glass of white wine and look around. The place looks exactly the same.

 

“Are you afraid?” The question takes me by surprise. I sit on the couch and wait until he’s sitting next to me to answer.

 

“I think I’m more afraid of disappointing you than anything else.” I set my glass down. “And I’m a little afraid of losing control with you. Of letting things happen and falling so hard that I break in the process.”

 

He pats his lap with his hands and I place my feet on him. When he starts rubbing my right foot, I groan. It feels amazing.

 

“Trust me to take care of you. Trust me to catch you,” he says and I relax. After a few minutes, he turns his ministrations to my left foot and I’m so relaxed, I may fall asleep. “Will you run away if I kiss you?”

 

My eyes are closed and I smile before I shake my head. I feel him let go of my foot and then he climbs over me. Holding his weight above me, not quite on top of me. I feel his breath on me. Cinnamon.

 

He takes my lips, just a taste. Then he takes another taste and another and my hands are on his back, in his hair, where ever I can touch him.

 

He sits up and takes me with him and before I know what I’m doing, I’m pulling off his shirt. He grabs my face between his hands and kisses me, and I’m so in the moment that I can’t be bothered about what I’m doing right or wrong.

 

He reaches under my shirt and runs his hand from my abdomen to my back. One hand makes light work of my bra’s clasp and then I’m leaning back to pull it from my body, throwing it across the room when I’m free. My white cotton tee is all that covers my breasts and before I can appreciate the way Maddox looks at them, he’s teasing them through the thin cotton, his finger grazing over them. Then his mouth is on my nipple, and I scoot closer to him until I’m rocking against the bulge under his zipper. Between the feel of his tongue and the way it flicks over the cotton and the way I’m rubbing myself against him, I’m ready to do anything he wants to do.

 

Suddenly he pushes me to stand, and I run my fingers through my messy hair as he unbuttons and tugs at my jeans. My panties come into view and he kisses my hipbones from his place on the couch. He turns me and I cry out when I feel his teeth scrape my lower back, just before the swell of my bottom.

 

“You’re breathtaking,” he says. I tug my shirt over my head and drop it on the floor. Then I hook my thumbs into my panties and slide those off. He’s staring at me with eyes that can’t stay still. They’re exploring and I want his hands to do the same.

 

I want to be naked in front of Maddox. I want him to be naked in front of me.

 

“Your turn,” I say, my voice little more than a whisper.

 

He stands and now that he’s towering over me, I can’t help but feel a little intimidated.

 

So I grab his belt and unbuckle it before tackling the buttons lining his groin. I brush against the hardness beneath and I try not to hold my breath. When enough of them are loosened, his jeans fall to the floor and I’m looking down at the prominent erection hidden by his blue boxer briefs.

 

I look up at him and he raises a brow. So I pull those down and straighten myself. I exhale and then we’re at each other. He lowers us to the floor and I arch my back, bringing my torso toward him. He runs his hand from my neck, flattening his hands between my bare breasts all the way down until he’s strumming my clit like his favorite guitar. He plays my body like a love song. There’s something sweet and intimate about the way he touches me. The way he caresses my bones, skin, and flesh. He touches me on the outside but he somehow touches me inside as well, where my soul is hidden. I know that love is such a dangerous feeling. I know it but I can’t help the way his name sits on my tongue, ready to escape the prison of my lips and teeth. The same way my heart escaped my ribcage and now only comes to life when he’s near.

Synopsis 

Fresh out of college, Ellison Edson has fallen through the cracks of rock bottom. While staying in her family’s vacation home in Colorado, her behavior has finally gained the attention of her parents—but not in the way she hoped. Cut off from the millions she’s always taken for granted, and left alone to fend for herself, Ellie spirals further out of control, making a mistake she can’t take back.

Like his twin brother Taylor, Tyler Maddox is a member of the Alpine Hotshots, fighting wildland fires on the frontline. As arrogant as he is charming, Tyler’s nomadic lifestyle makes it easy to contain his relationships to one night. When he meets Ellie at a local party during off-season, her extreme personality and dismissive attitude fascinates him at first, but as his feelings deepen, Tyler realizes that the crippling inner demons of the woman he loves might be the strongest enemy any Maddox has ever faced.

My Review

"Tyler Maddox and his fires filled a hole in my soul I hadn’t known existed."

It's a compelling and riveting page turner that will be pulling at your heart strings. 

Let me start of by saying I am a complete and utter mess. 

Nothing could have prepared me for the end of the Maddox brothers series. 

This can't be the end. 

I can't even begin to explain all the feelings I have. 

Devastatingly, Distraught. 

I tried to hold off on reading this book but I just couldn't. I had to read Tyler and Ellie's story. 

I loved Ellie! Yes, she's hard to love with her hard attitude and drinking/drug problem but she never once denied she had a problem nor did she try put that blame on someone else. In my eyes she was a REAL person that anyone with addiction could relate to. Truth be told, you don't have to have addiction to relate to her. Everyone has had some type of crisis that they have had to over come in their life and they have either trumpet over it or had plenty of failed attempts at trying to overcome it until they come to that point in their life where they are either going to keep being stuck in the same cycle or they are going to make the change for the better where they can actually do something to better their life. Who can't relate to that? 

It was hard to read Ellie's journey sometimes because you were wanting to scream at her to not do something or not to even put herself in the situation that she knows what predicament its going put her in but ever one has to hit rock bottom at some point and overall she's a good person but she's just lost and needing help. 

Tyler.. He's is a Maddox so he's a swoon worthy, alpha, that's hot as sin with a heart of gold and I am completely in LOVE with him. How could you not be? Tyler was somewhat trying to help Ellie, but it got the point where he was enabling her. He was watching her defuse and was just waiting for her to erupt. 

I really enjoyed how you were able to see all the other stories at different aspects. It was an eye opener and simply intriguing. It made me want to go back and read all the stories all over again. 

I would have really like to have some of the story in Tyler's Point of view, I think that was all that was really missing from the story. 

I can't say it's a perfect conclusion to the Maddox brother series because I never wanted to see the series come to an end but I can say it's pretty darn close! 

Favorite Quotes: 

"Tyler Maddox and his fires filled a hole in my soul I hadn’t known existed."

“If you’re the fire, Ellie … I’ll burn.”

“I’ve loved every version of you there’s ever been. I’ll love whoever comes back.”

"I’d never seen him before, but he looked a lot like my next mistake."

"He was the kind of beautiful you couldn’t buy, with his golden-brown eyes and square, scruffy chin—a symphony of perfection only flawless genes could compose."

"I could have been leading him to his death, but I could tell Tyler Maddox was afraid of nothing."

"I’d kissed dozens of lips before that night, but none of them had felt like they’d been starving for me, and had been for a long time. Every part of my skin Tyler touched seemed purposeful."

"To have everything and feel nothing was the worst kind of selfishness."

"Tyler breathed out a laugh, and I turned to see him staring at me the way I looked at the fire. He didn’t look away; instead, one side of his mouth curled up. Even through the sweat and ash, his dimple appeared. In that moment, Tyler Maddox and his fires filled a hole in my soul I hadn’t known existed."

"Tyler’s presence had a calming effect. Together they replaced the risks and narcotics I’d been destroying myself with since I was fourteen."

"I could see in his eyes that he was willing to try me like poison; even after the first taste, we were already wondering how excruciating the end would be."

"Tyler was my new addiction, like flirting with fire on the mountain, loving the danger and waiting for the burn."

“It’s been almost an hour. Your boy hasn’t come for you yet.” I looked down. “Probably because I’m not his to come and claim.” “Yeah, but he’s yours. I can see it all over the poor bastard’s face.”
