Surf & Surrender: Summer Love Series Book 2
Contemporary Romance , New Adult / April 28, 2015

Sawyer broke Quinn’s heart 4 years ago when he disappeared without a word. Quinn moved on with her life–or at least she thought she had, until she rescues Sawyer’s little brother at the beach and realizes that the Carson family is back in town. Will Quinn surrender her heart once more to the man who shattered it so long ago, or will she hold the pieces close and protect herself at all costs? I wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars! I thought I loved the first book, Rock & Release, but it was nothing compared to how amazing Surf & Surrender was! The writing was, as expected, superb, and the characters were completely relatable. I also found the characters in this volume of the Summer Love series to be less angsty and a bit more mature. At times, I even forgot I was reading a New Adult. Though I’m normally not a fan of first person POV, I really didn’t find it to be bothersome in this book. Riley Edgewood is a master storyteller, and there wasn’t a single moment when I wanted to put this book down. In fact, I think I might have cried a little when I realized I…

Rock & Release: Summer Love Series Book 1

This book made me feel ALL the feelings. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to scream and throw the book…and the love scenes? Go ahead and grab a seat in the walk-in freezer, because man oh man! Cassidy is reeling after the loss of her brother. Her parents are unreachable, lost in their own grief, and Cassidy just wants to lose herself in something fun and entirely untouched by her brother’s memory (unlike the summer internship she has lined up–which was supposed to be her brother’s). So, on a whim, she drops her internship and takes a job at a bar, where she finds more than she bargained for in Gage. I’ll admit, there were times that I hated Cassidy and her boneheaded decisions. And I’m normally not a fan of first person books, BUT I think the point of view and excellent writing made it really easy to connect with Cassidy. So even when I wanted to punch her in the face, I still felt for her. If you’re looking for a well-written NA that will wring you out and leave you wanting more, this book by the fabulous Riley Edgewood is absolutely the book for you!4 thumbs up! (Big toes…

Lost Girl: Hidden Book 1
Fantasy , Paranormal Romance / April 28, 2015

Molly Brooks is a telepathic vigilante with a few secrets and a mysterious past. Determined to make something of her bizarre powers, she devotes herself to saving those who need her most. One night, she’s followed by a powerful being in a pickup truck, and her world will never be the same. Finding herself thrust into a world full of supernatural beings she could have only imagined, Molly learns how powerful she really is, and how much she stands to lose. —Book Teaser After reading the premise above and seeing the rave review from one of my favorite authors, Elizabeth Hunter, I was chomping at the bit to try this new series.  I have a soft spot for Urban Fantasy and kick-ass heroines, what can I say? The book started out promising.  I saw a lot of un-plumbed depth in Molly, our heroine and, despite not really having any kind of knowledge of or interest in Detroit, Vanderlinden created an interesting world with intriguing characters.  She had me hooked, and I enjoyed the tension between Molly, Nain and Brennan.  But then, at around 75% into the book, I almost put it down.  And I was angry.  Because I had loved the book so…
