This week’s book: 

Goodreads Summary: 

Two undercover FBI agents can hide who they are from everyone but each other in the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Suddenly One Summer. 

FBI agents Jessica Harlow and John Shepherd have a past. The former lawyer and cocky Army ranger clashed during their training at Quantico, gladly going their separate ways after graduating from the Academy. Six years later, the last thing either of them expects is to run into each other again–assigned to work as partners in a high-profile undercover sting.

For both of them, being paired with a former rival couldn’t come at a worse time. Recently divorced from a Hollywood producer and looking for a fresh start, Jessica is eager to prove herself at her new field office. And John is just one case away from his dream assignment to the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team. In order to nail a corrupt Florida politician, they’ll have to find a way to work as a team–a task that becomes even trickier when they’re forced to hole up at a romantic, beachfront resort as part of the investigation. Suddenly, the heat behind their nonstop sparring threatens to make the job a whole lot more complicated.

BOOK BEGINNINGS:

Three minutes after the plane took off from the runway, FBI Special Agent John Shepherd knew he was doomed if he didn’t act immediately. Next to John, the guy in the middle seat was in his early forties and dressed in a suit and lime-green shirt. “Man, it’s a packed flight tonight.” He held out his hand in introduction. “Steve Fox. Corporate motivational speaker, leadership consultant, and occasional author. When I can motivate myself to write, that is.” He laughed at his own joke. “So . . . you heading to the Windy City for business or pleasure?”

FRIDAY 56:

Blair stopped just inches from her, the edge of his briefcase rubbing against her leg. His voice dipped lower, turning coy. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were trying to see me again.” Mindful of her obligations to play nice as part of the sting op, Jessica feigned a smile in return. “That’s just a bonus, Mr. Mayor.” He boldly held her gaze before turning and heading toward the door, as if this were all part of some cat-and-mouse game between them. Which it was, of course. Except the mouse hadn’t yet realized who was who.

MY THOUGHTS:

Today I chose a book I have already read and love, its actually one of my top favourite books so far in 2017. Julie James is an amazing author. She writes with meticulous care, everything is well researched. And if you're interested in finding out how FBI Special Agents Jessica and John catch corrupt Blair the Mr. Mayor, read this book now! I have also written a review of it, click here to check it out.

THIRSTY THURSDAYS AND HUNGRY HEARTS #4 ~ SHARDS OF HOPE (PSY-CHANGELING, #13) BY NALINI SINGH

It is hosted by Unconventional Bookviews . The idea of Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts is to share a quote with food or drinks that showed up in a recent read, as well as if it’s something you think you’d like or not. 

So without further ado:

This week, my quote is from my top favourite book in this year so far, Psy-Changeling series' Shards of Hope, for the excitement I am feeling for the upcoming Silver Silence's release. Its a must read series if you love paranormal romance. 

In the scene below Zaira and Aden are having breakfast with a changeling pack and Zaira doesn't know what to do when a cub child latches on to her. Its really funny seeing Zaira struggle with Jojo. And who isn't unable to control around cookies!

Sitting up in her lap, the child stared at her, frown lines marring her forehead above eyes that had
shifted to a soft brown. A second later, she clapped. “Cookies!”
As the word seemed apropos of nothing, Zaira downgraded her estimation of Jojo’s intelligence

until Aden said, “Do you find yourself unable to control yourself around cookies, Jojo?”

Thanks for stopping by! Leave links to your Thirsty Thursdays, I'll be sure to check it out!

Goodreads Summary:

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter returns with a sizzling Lords of the Underworld story about an iron-willed sovereign and the somber beauty who melts him with a glance

Possessed by the demon of Misery, Cameo isn't allowed to experience joy. If she dares, her memory is wiped clean. With no other recourse, she sneaks into a land more fantastical than any fairy tale, determined to find the one man with the key to her redemption.

Lazarus the Cruel and Unusual rules his kingdom with a single unwavering focus: to build his army and annihilate his enemies. Nothing distracts him - until Cameo. He is relentless in his quest to make her smile and seduce her into his bed.

As dark forces conspire against them, threatening to destroy the fragile bond they've forged, the once-calm Lazarus grows crazed. Every heart-stopping kiss and wicked touch causes Cameo to teeter on the brink of happiness. But if she falls, she risks forgetting him forever. 

I'm waiting because...

I really love this series but from The Darkest Craving I wasn't feeling it, I wanted Cameo's book and William's book. Finally we are getting Cameo's book now! Excited to see what we have in store!

Friday Reads #3 ~ Forever and a Day (Lucky Harbor, #6) by Jill Shalvis

Book Beginnings is a book meme hosted by Rose City Reader where participants share the first sentence (or so) of the book, along with initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.

The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice, and the rules are quite simple: Grab a book, any book, turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader. Find any non-spoilery sentence(s) and post.

This week’s book: 

Goodreads Summary: 

LOVE CAN HAPPEN IN A HEARTBEAT.

Grace never thought she’d be starting her life over from scratch. Losing everything has landed her in Lucky Harbor, working as a dog walker for overwhelmed ER doctor Josh Scott. But the day his nanny fails to show up, Grace goes from caring for Josh’s loveable mutt to caring for his rambunctious kids. Soon Grace is playing house with the sexy single dad…

With so many people depending on him, Josh has no time for anything outside of his clinic and family–until Grace arrives in town. Now this brainy blonde is turning his life inside out and giving a whole new meaning to the phrase “good bedside manner.” Josh and Grace don’t know if what they have can last. But in a town like Lucky Harbor, a lifetime of love starts with just one day.

BOOK BEGINNINGS:

Tired, edgy, and scared that she was never going to get her life on the happy track, Grace Brooks dropped into the back booth of the diner and sagged against the red vinyl seat. “I could really use a drink.”

FRIDAY 56:

Josh pushed to his feet and met Grace on the edge of the dance floor.
She smiled. “You dance?”
He gave her a boogie move that had gotten him laid once or twice in college and made her laugh. “I didn’t know,” she said.
“There’s a lot you don’t know about me.”
“Like the time you and the sheriff got drunk and went streaking on the pier?” she asked sweetly.
He sighed. “Why do you listen to Anna?”
She was grinning wide. “Did you really?”
“Yeah.” He grimaced, making her laugh again.
“Honesty,” she said. “I like that. Is lying against the doctor’s oath or something?”
“Hell, no. I lie all the time. Just tonight, on the walk from my car to the pier, I told Mrs. Lyons that she was looking good.”
“Is she the one wearing the chartreuse green spandex shorts?”

MY THOUGHTS:

It's a reread for today. I always love going back to any Lucky Harbor book and giving it a reread. If you're on the lookout for a cute, sweet and fun read, Lucky Harbor by Jill Shalvis is a series for you. I just recently read Pipe Dreams and the daughter of the hero was not very lovable in the book, so I felt like rereading a book with a cute kid and a sweet romance and Forever and a Day seemed like a perfect choice for it.

Goodreads Summary:

Enter New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s breathtakingly passionate Guild Hunter world with the story of a woman who isn’t a vampire or an angel…or human…

Once a broken girl known as Sorrow, Holly Chang now prowls the shadowy gray underground of the city for the angels. But it’s not her winged allies who make her a wanted woman—it’s the unknown power coursing through her veins. Brutalized by an insane archangel, she was left with the bloodlust of a vampire, the ability to mesmerize her prey, and a poisonous bite.

Now, someone has put a bounty on her head…

Venom is one of the Seven, Archangel Raphael’s private guard, and he’s as infuriating as he is seductive. A centuries-old vampire, his fangs dispense a poison deadlier than Holly’s. But even if Venom can protect Holly from those hunting her, he might not be able to save himself—because the strange, violent power inside Holly is awakening.

I'm waiting because...

If you know this series, you'll know why I'm excited to read Venom's book! Guild Hunter is an amazing series by an amazing author Nalini Singh. And Venom's book is just one of the most anticipated books in the series. This series has everything Archangels, angels, vampires, hunters and humans and its amazing.

Goodreads Summary: 

Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the wolds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives.

In The Indigo Spell, Sydney was torn between the Alchemist way of life and what her heart and gut were telling her to do. And in one breathtaking moment that Richelle Mead fans will never forget, she made a decision that shocked even her...

But the struggle isn't over for Sydney. As she navigates the aftermath of her life-changing decision, she still finds herself pulled in too many directions at once. Her sister Zoe has arrived, and while Sydney longs to grow closer to her, there's still so much she must keep secret. Working with Marcus has changed the way she views the Alchemists, and Sydney must tread a careful path as she harnesses her profound magical ability to undermine the way of life she was raised to defend. Consumed by passion and vengeance, Sydney struggles to keep her secret life under wraps as the threat of exposure — and re-education — looms larger than ever.

Pulses will race throughout this smoldering fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe.

BOOK BEGINNINGS:

I WON’T LIE. Walking into a room and seeing your girlfriend reading a baby-name book can kind of make your heart stop.

FRIDAY 56:

“I will,” she assured me, nodding eagerly. “I’ll be just like you.” “I know you’ll do a great job.” I actually meant it. She was smart and competent—and now motivated.

MY THOUGHTS:

I just started this book. Loving the series so far, so I'm excited to read this book. The excitement has doubled because its Adrian's pov!! I love how Adrian always seems to be in awe of Sydney's intelligence and has full confidence in her.

Publication Date:  June 16th, 2017

Goodreads Summary:

They say life can change in an instant…

After losing her sister in a devastating car accident, chef Quinn Weller is finally getting her life back on track. She appears to have it all: a loving family, a dream job in one of L.A.’s hottest eateries, and a gorgeous boyfriend dying to slip an engagement ring on her finger. So why does she feel so empty, like she’s looking for a missing piece she can’t find?

The answer comes when a lawyer tracks down Quinn and reveals a bombshell secret and a mysterious inheritance that only she can claim. This shocking revelation washes over Quinn like a tidal wave. Her whole life has been a lie.

On impulse, Quinn gives up her job, home, and boyfriend. She heads up the coast to the small hometown of Wildstone, California, which is just a few hours north, but feels worlds apart from Los Angeles. Though she doesn’t quite fit in right away, she can’t help but be drawn to the town’s simple pleasures…and the handsome, dark-haired stranger who offers friendship with no questions asked.

As Quinn settles into Wildstone, she discovers there’s another surprise in store for her. The inheritance isn’t a house or money, but rather something earthshattering, something that will make her question everything she thought she knew about herself, about her family. Now with a world of possibilities opening up to Quinn, she must decide if this new life is the one she was always meant to have—and the one that could finally give her the fulfillment she’s searched so long for.

This week’s book: 

Goodreads Summary: 

A great goalie always makes the save, even when he’s taken a shot to the heart… 

Mike Beacon is a champion at guarding the net, but off the ice, he’s not so lucky. A widower and a single father, he’s never gotten over Lauren Williams, the ex who gave him the best year of his life. When Lauren reappears in the Bruisers' office during the play-offs, Beacon sees his chance to make things right. 

Lauren hates traveling with the team she used to manage and with the man who broke her heart. There’s still undeniable sexual tension running between her and Mike, but she won’t go there again. She’s focused on her plans for the future—she doesn’t need a man to make her dreams of motherhood come true. 
Lauren plays her best defensive game, but she’s no match for the dark-eyed goalie. When the field of play moves to Florida, things heat up on the beach. 

Only one of Mike’s fans doesn’t approve—his teenage daughter. But a true competitor knows not to waste the perfect shot at love.

BOOK BEGINNINGS: 

Brooklyn, April 2016 The first time Lauren Williams ever drank a shot of whiskey in front of her boss was the night the Brooklyn Bruisers clinched a play-offs berth for the first time since Nate Kattenberger bought the team.

FRIDAY 56:

Mercifully, the last four were played at the other end of the ice. Somehow the fight had lit a fire under his guys. They skated like demons, which led to an ugly goal by Trevi in front of the net with less than thirty seconds left in the period.

MY THOUGHTS:

I just finished reading this book before writing this post and it was a nice read. Not my favourite in the series but still it was good. Sarina Bowen is a nice author and you must have guessed by now that this series is about Ice Hockey players and we follow some of their romance lives with great anticipation filled games.
