Out of Time Blurb and Cover Reveal
 
I cannot remember being this excited for an upcoming book.  Nine Minutes was amazing and the end blew me away.  I can't wait to read the rest of the story.  And if possible, the blurb has me even more excited!!
 
Blurb
RECOMMENDED FOR READERS 18 AND OLDER DUE TO
STRONG LANGUAGE, SEXUAL SITUATIONS AND VIOLENCE

Out of Time is book two in a series. It is not a standalone novel. I highly recommend that you read my first novel, Nine Minutes, to be able to understand the background stories of the main characters. There are many twists and turns in both stories that can best be connected if read consecutively.
 Although I do answer all of the outstanding questions from Nine Minutes, there is more to this story, and some readers may consider it a cliffhanger. If you do not like cliffhangers, you may want to wait until the third novel is released in 2016.

They thought with his execution it would all be over.
They were wrong.

The leader of one of South Florida’s most notorious and brutal motorcycle gangs has been put to death by lethal injection. Days later, his family and friends should have been picking up the pieces, moving on. Instead, they’ve been catapulted into a world so twisted and dangerous even the most ruthless among them would be stunned to discover the tangled web of deception, not only on the dangerous streets of South Florida but all the way to the top.

In this gripping follow-up novel to Nine Minutes, Out of Time takes readers from the sun-drenched flatlands of 1950s Central Florida to the vivid tropical heat of Fort Lauderdale to the halls of Florida’s Death Row as we finally learn the gritty backstory of Jason “Grizz” Talbot and the secret he spent his life trying to conceal.

Not even Grizz’s inner circle knows his full story—the tragedy that enveloped his early life, the surprise discovery that made him the government’s most wanted and most feared, and the depths of his love for Ginny, the tenderhearted innocent he’d once abducted and later made his wife.

Once Grizz’s obsession and now the mother of his child, Ginny has spent years grieving the man she’d first resisted and then came to love. Now remarried to Tommy, a former member of the gang, the pair have spent more than a decade trying desperately to live a normal existence far from the violent, crime-ridden world they’d once carved out on the edge of the Florida Everglades. For Tommy, especially, the stakes are high. Desperately in love with Ginny for years, he’s finally living his dream: married to the woman he never thought he could have. But even with the façade of normalcy—thriving careers, two beautiful children, and a genuinely happy and loving marriage—they can’t seem to put the past behind them. Every time they turn around, another secret is revealed, unraveling the very bonds that hold them together.

And with Grizz finally put to death, now Ginny has learned secrets so dark, so evil she’s not even sure she can go on.

Will these secrets tear their love to pieces? And how far will Grizz go to protect?
 
 
 
Out of Time is not a Stand Alone and must be read after Nine Minutes.  Nine Minutes is on sale right now for $1.99, so you should definitely get it now!!!

Elude
by Rachel Van Dyken
Elude is book 6 in the Eagle Elite series.  This series just keeps getting better and better.  I have loved every single book and I hope the series NEVER ends!!
Synopsis:
Twenty-Four hours before we were to be married--I offered to shoot her.

Ten hours before our wedding--I made a mockery of her dying wish.

Five hours before we were going to say our vows--I promised I'd never love her.

One hour before I said I do--I vowed I'd never shed a tear over her death.

But the minute we were pronounced man and wife--I knew.

I'd only use my gun to protect her.

I'd give my life for hers.

I'd cry.

And I would, most definitely, lose myself, to a dying girl---a girl who by all accounts should have never been mine in the first place.

I always believed the mafia would be my end game--poisoning my heart, while it claimed my soul. I could have never imagined. It would be my redemption.

Or the beginning of something beautiful.

The beginning of her.

The end of us. 
I was not excited about Sergio going into this book, but in true Rachel Van Dyken style, she made me love him.  And I loved Andi from the very beginning.  She was sweet, funny, a little bad ass, and sexy.  I loved Sergio and Andi together.  This book made me laugh and cry.  I was torn between hating the author and also congratulating on such a heart wrenching story.

I loved this book, as with every other book in this series.  These book are not standalones.  All the characters show up in all the books, so you should read all of them.  But they are all amazing and will not disappoint!!  Elude releases on 7/9, but is available for pre order now for the bargain price of $.99!!!

Spark
by Erin Noelle
I have read a few other books by this author so I always pay attention to her releases.  This one was intriguing and completely different sounding.  
Synopsis:
I'm failing.
My younger brother is getting worse, and my job - my duty - is to help him at all costs. We've tried everything modern medicine has to offer and nothing works.
Nothing.
Deciding to turn to unconventional treatments, we end up at Fire-on-the-Mountain, a holistic resort deep in the Rockies.
In our search for medical marijuana, I find beautiful, free-spirited Hudson Shavell - a girl who may not only hold the key to heal my brother, but to fix me as well. Even though I can't afford distractions right now, she's all I can think about. All that I want.
It's funny how everything can change with one little SPARK. 

This book sucked me in right away.  I loved Hudson immediately!  She was sweet and funny and smart.  And Crew was sexy, and arrogant, but also completely devoted to his family.  The marijuana aspect of this story was something totally different for me, but also educational.  It made me see the positive benefits of medical marijuana, and the science that goes into it.  This story was sexy, sweet, and heart breaking at times.  At times I wanted to punch Crew, but I also wanted to hug him.  A great love story and I can't wait for more.

Spark is the first in a series, but it is a stand alone, each book is about a different sister of Hudson's.  She has a lot of sisters, so I see many more books in our future.  Spark is available now and I highly recommend it!  A  star read for me for sure!!

The Song of David
by Amy Harmon
 
The Song of David is the followup to The Law of Moses, which was absolutely amazing, so I was excited to get into The Song of David.  This book is Tag's story, we meet him in The Law of Moses.  
 
Synopsis:
I won my first fight when I was eleven years old, and I’ve been throwing punches ever since. Fighting is the purest, truest, most elemental thing there is. Some people describe heaven as a sea of unending white. Where choirs sing and loved ones await. But for me, heaven was something else. It sounded like the bell at the beginning of a round, it tasted like adrenaline, it burned like sweat in my eyes and fire in my belly. It looked like the blur of screaming crowds and an opponent who wanted my blood.
For me, heaven was the octagon.

Until I met Millie, and heaven became something different. I became something different. I knew I loved her when I watched her stand perfectly still in the middle of a crowded room, people swarming, buzzing, slipping around her, her straight dancer’s posture unyielding, her chin high, her hands loose at her sides. No one seemed to see her at all, except for the few who squeezed past her, tossing exasperated looks at her unsmiling face. When they realized she wasn’t normal, they hurried away. Why was it that no one saw her, yet she was the first thing I saw?

If heaven was the octagon, then she was my angel at the center of it all, the girl with the power to take me down and lift me up again. The girl I wanted to fight for, the girl I wanted to claim. The girl who taught me that sometimes the biggest heroes go unsung and the most important battles are the ones we don’t think we can win.
 
This book was amazing and hear wrenching.  I loved Tag and Millie's story.  This story was told in a different way and completely sucked me in.  We met Tag in The Law of Moses, he came to be Moses's best friend.  He has come a long way since Moses and him became friends, and I loved him in this book.  The story is told almost completely through cassette tapes that Tag makes, we get totally in his head.  This book is an emotional journey through an amazing love story and I cannot recommend it enough.

Technically this book is stand alone, but I highly recommend that you read The Law of Moses first.  The characters reappear in The Song of David.  Amy Harmon is a true artist.  Her writing is flawless and I would recommend all of her books, but Moses and Tag may be my new faves!!

Fury by Fisher Amelie
Book 3 in the Seven Deadly Sins Series
 
Fury is finally live.  It is Book 3 in the series but can be read as a standalone.  If you haven't read Vain and Greed I highly recommend them though, they are amazing.
 
Synopsis:
Revenge is an euphoric thing. Trust me on this. Nothing compares to the release you get when you ruin someone’s life. When they’ve stolen important things. Things that didn’t belong to them. Things I revel in making them pay for.
What? Have I offended you? I’m not here to appeal to your delicate senses. I have no intention of placating your wishes or living within your personal belief system nor do I care if you hate me. And you will hate me. Because I’m a brutal, savage, cold-blooded murderer and I’m here for my revenge.
I’m Ethan Moonsong...And this is the story about how I went from the world’s most sacrificing man to the most feared and why I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Fall For Me
by JC Emery

Fall for Me is book one in the Ladder Company Series.  When I read that this was about fireman, I said, of course, sign me up.

Synopsis:
Melanie Kincaid is a trust-fund baby with a knack for sassy comebacks and unnecessarily complicating her privileged life. So, of course she would have to fall in love with a man she can't have.
Jameson Hayes is a NYC firefighter for Manhattan’s oldest ladder company with big shoes to fill and a city to protect. He’s strong, sexy, and not looking for the complications Melanie brings. But he can't stay away from her either. The attraction between them is immediate and the pull between them is crazy powerful. But she's only home for the summer and long-distance relationships never work.
Unfortunately, Melanie’s beauty and smart mouth are a lethal combination and Jameson isn't the only Hayes who's interested. As if his brother isn't enough to compete with, now the city's most famous arsonist wants to claim her as his next prize. Jameson can't stand to watch Melanie get hurt and she can't seem to keep herself out of trouble.

Fall for Me is the first Ladder Company novel, a stand-alone companion series about New York's most elite firefighting family with hot alpha heroes, snarky heroines, and an arsonist hell-bent on destruction.

I fell for Jameson almost immediately.  He's a strong, sexy firefighter, but he also has a girlfriend. Jameson and Melanie have an instant connection, but it drove me crazy that he would not break up with his girlfriend.  As the story progresses, we get a little more about why, but it still drove me a little crazy.  Melanie was a ton of fun and I loved her.  She had a smart mouth and she was strong.  There was also a little mystery going on too, which added to the story for sure.  I loved that we weren't sure where it was going.  The banter between Melanie and Jameson was fun, and occasionally frustrating.  But I loved that Melanie was honest and laid it all out!

This is the first in a series, but the end is not a cliffhanger.  There is a few things not resolved, which I hope are in the next book.  This book will be live on 4/30, so make sure and grab a copy.  It's a fun and sexy read, I would give it 4 strong stars.
