cover reveal for Sweet Disaster by Sierra Hill


Sweet Disaster
Sierra Hill
Publication date: TBA
Genres: New Adult, Romance
Kady:
My life is a complete and utter disaster.
One major screw up after another.
In other words – I’m trouble.
I attempted college, but made a mess of that scene, too. Chalk it up to yet another disappointment in my parents’ ever-growing list of Kady failures.
Deciding I needed an escape from reality, my best friend and I flew off to Europe, where we were going to have the time of our lives.
The only problem with that plan is that I ran out of money after two weeks, and now I’m stuck in Florence, Italy with no means of getting home.
See? Trouble finds me wherever I go.
Gavin:

All I ever wanted to do was play basketball.
It’s all I’m good at.
I bypassed college and went straight to the pros. I’ve been playing overseas in Italy for six months, gaining fame, fans and having fun.

There’s only one problem. I miss home. I’m not too big to admit I’m homesick for my family and friends.

But that all changed when I heard from Cade Griffin, a former college hoops star. He called and asked me to rescue his sister, Kadence, who’s stranded and alone here in Florence.
Seems easy enough, right?

Except for the fact that Kady Griffin is gorgeous, completely off-limits and a sweet disaster waiting to happen all over my life.

Aileen Erin
Published by: Ink Monster LLC

Genres: Dystopian, Young Adult
From USA Today Bestselling Author Aileen Erin
Maite Martinez has always yearned for more than waitressing in a greasy diner on the polluted ruins of planet Earth. Hiding her special abilities is a full-time job on its own, even with the government distracted by the mysterious alien race – the Aunare.
When a SpaceTech officer gets handsy with her, she reacts without thinking. Breaking his nose might not have been her smartest move. Now she’s faced with a choice: serious jail time working in a chain gang on a volcano planet or join the corporate army to fight against the impending war with the Aunare. It’s really no choice at all.
As with everything in her life, Maite quickly realizes that the war with the Aurnare isn’t what it seems. And Lorne, the Aunare prince, keeps popping up everywhere she goes. Being seen with him could get her in even deeper trouble with her commanders, but he’s the first person who sees through the wall she’s built around herself and she can’t bring herself to send him away.
When the situation between SpaceTech and the Aunare escalates, Maite has a way to end the war before it even begins. There’s only one question: Can she stop the total annihilation of humanity without getting herself killed in the process?

Antique New England Homes & Barns: History, Restoration, and Reinterpretation by Jim DeStefano




Stunning book, not only the pictures but the history that goes along with them. I love old homes and old barns. My husband and I go from Florida to Pennsylvania ever year for vacation. While there are some really nice old homes and barns here in Florida the further north we go the more spectacular the homes and barns are. I literally have hundreds of pictures saved on my computer that I have taken during our travels of old houses and barns.

This book fits perfectly into my fascination of these homes and barns.  I could look at this book over and over and and probably will. I also love to see how from the earliest homes to the newer ones have changed in architecture. This is an awesome books with som any pictures. There is some reading but it is basically short and to the point but gives you what you need to really understand exactly what you are looking at.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

Dr. Pookie and The Case of his Missing Thought by Izzy Church




Super funny book. I would say kids of all ages would love it but it seems more geared toward maybe the 7 to 10 range by the larger words used, In the book Eccentric Dr. Pookie who is a bear by the way leaves the busy town of Little Royal Forest to move to the top of Bear Mountain, basically for some peace and quiet. Dr. Pookie is a quite famous bear, for his good deeds to his good looks and more. But not all the gossip is nice, so he moved.

Once settled in Dr. Pookie decides to throw a dinner party for his friends from Little Royal Forest. This is where the true adventure begins.  Dr. Pookie looses his thought. His friends decide to help him find it. The adventure is hilarious.

This is such a fun story,a t times I had a hard time reading it to the kids for my own laughter. Izzy Church has done a wonderful job with this book. I will be on the look out for more of her books,

The Witch's Book of Spirits by Devin Hunter




I have always been fascinated with witchcraft and have studied it for years. I wish I had of had this book years ago. This is not a read it and pass it on type of book. As a matter of fact it is not a story at all. This is one of those books you will want to add to your reference library and pull it out quite often. This book will teach you many different aspects of witchcraft. It will teach you spells, rituals, and so much more. No it is not a book of spells. It is kind of like a text book of witchcraft and all that is involved. If you have ever wanted to learn the craft or just brush up this is a great book. It is not a cheesy made up fascination it is very indepth. You can learn so much from this book. It will also teach the right way to go about the craft so you do not suffer in the end with mistakes made in spells that can haunt you in the end run. You may even want to have a notebook handy as you read this book, I did.

Excerpt
1 (spicy)

Julie dashed all
hope of close contact with Viv when she sat between them. Soon after, the only
waitress in the joint leaned over their table far enough to offer an ample view
of her cleavage as she batted her lashes at him. “What’ll ya have, handsome?”
Kage gestured at
the girls. “Ladies first.”
“Wine’s fine,”
Julie said.
“Long Island
Iced Tea, please,” Vivienne murmured. “Double the tequila.”
Interesting.
Liquid courage?
Julie’s eyes
widened on Viv before she spoke to the waitress. “Something to munch on too,
please.”
“Sure.” The
waitress tossed down a menu. Her eyes never left Kage. “And you, sweetheart?”
“Whatever you
have on tap’s fine.” He winked just to see if Viv reacted. “The stronger, the
better.”
Viv didn’t
react. Not outwardly. But he got the impression the waitress had a target on
her back.
“So, Julie.”
Kage rested his arm on the back of Julie’s seat, yet another test to see how
her assistant would react. “Tell me more about yourself.” He offered a casual
smile. One designed to cultivate trust. “Running a P.I. business sounds
intriguing.”
“It does…it is.”
Julie nodded. “Very intriguing.”
“I’d love to
hear more.”
“Yeah, sure.”
Julie began pressing the pad of her thumb against the edge of the table as
though trying to pinpoint how to spin her bullshit tale. “It’s…complicated.”
As complicated
as not having researched her lie before telling it.
“Complicated, how?”
“Like,
just…well, you know…”
He warmed his
smile even more. “I’m afraid I don’t.”
Julie swallowed,
her eyes glued to his as she tried to come up with something.
“It’s
complicated because it’s detective work,” Viv cut in as the waitress plopped
their drinks down, didn’t bother with a food order but flashed five fingers at
him, winked then sauntered off. He supposed that meant she’d be available for
sex out back in five.
Figure the odds.
“Well, then,
tell me about detective work.” He grinned at Viv. “Is it as boring as it
sounds?” A languid grin curled his lips. “Or can you make it sound exciting?”
He didn’t miss
the catch of her breath.
“I suppose that
depends on what you’re investigating,” she replied before she brought the straw
to her lips and sucked.
He’d been around
a lot of beautiful women who offered to do all sorts of creative things with
their mouths, but nothing compared to the way Viv worked a straw. A bolt of
lust slammed into him as her sexy-as-sin lips wrapped around that little bit of
plastic and sucked up over half her drink.
There was no
stopping his arousal.
Or his low
growl.
He didn’t care
who she was or if she might have been planted by the enemy, he wanted her. And
it didn’t matter where. His eyes skirted from the bathrooms to the rear
entrance to the damn linen closet. Then his eyes dropped to the table. All it
would take was a little dragon magic, and he could bend her right over this.
None would be the wiser.
And if she
wanted to keep sucking on that little straw the whole time, who was he to
judge?
Meanwhile,
Julie’s eyes were wide as saucers on him, and Viv had gone perfectly still. Too
still. That’s when it hit him. A scent unlike any other. Sweet. Spicy.
Female dragon.
But not just any
female.
Her.


Vivienne.
