May Wrap-Up


The prepubescent gif of Justin Timberlake may be a tad inaccurate since May has already passed, but I couldn't resist. 


So I only read 4 books this month and my 2015 Goodreads Challenge is mocking me.


Onto the books!!


I absolutely had to read The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West! It released at the beginning of the month and was a really cute contemporary read, which is exactly what I was in the mood for! I devoured the entire thing in one sitting because I could not get enough of quirky Gia, adorable Hayden, and their hilarious banter.



Next thing I know, I found myself in the mood for a historical romance. So I picked up Catch a Falling Heiress by Laura Lee Guhrke. I really enjoyed this book and gave it a solid 4.5/5 stars. It featured a strong heroine, a swoon-worthy hero, and a big scandal. 



One of my favorite authors, Jeaniene Frost, posted a free short story called Pack on her website, so I obviously took the time to read it. It was super, super short but it definitely got me excited for when she expands the story and re-releases it later.


This got me in the paranormal mood, so I grabbed Eternal Hunter by Cynthia Eden. This book has got shifters, vampires, and demons, oh my! The main character, Erin, is being stalked by a wolf shifter hybrid, so she enlists the help of a rare white tiger shifter, but then things get a little heated.


Currently Reading:


I'm finally reading Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover!! I've heard so many amazing things and can't wait to see if it lives up to the hype. (It's also nice to picture Miles Archer as Nick Bateman.)


Update: It's the last day of May, I just finished reading Ugly Love, and I HAVE SO MANY FEELS!!!!

Book Blitz: Of Silver and Beasts by Trisha Wolfe (Excerpt + Giveaway)

Image
***Excerpt*** “What’s your rank, baby blue eyes?” the guy asks, pushing off his cot and stalking toward the prince. Everything in me screams to act, but I don’t want to declare alliances this early on. Not without understanding the dynamic of placements and bonds already formed among these people. But I’ll not let this hulk of a man harm the prince. I brace my heel against the wall, ready to push off and lunge. Prince Caben rises to his feet, slowly turning to face him. He straightens his spine, squaring his shoulders. “I don’t have one. And my name is Payne. Not ‘baby blue eyes’, meathead.” Big guy laughs, his husky voice bounces off the rock walls. “I’m Crew”—he beats his chest hard once, like a barbarian—“and I’ve won three fights. I’ll win the next two and be the one awarded the freedom ring.” He leans down toward Prince Caben, leveling their faces. “So don’t even think about you or your princess over there walking out of here. I’m ranked as a Colossal. The strongest Colossal in B
