When her father died, Lucy Mae Estmond inherited the family business. She has known all of her life that she would be in line to watch over the souls of the recently passed, keeping them safe from the Reapers.

The soul eating Reapers have been a plague upon the Earth, stealing souls and leaving the Keepers as the only thing that stands between Heaven and Hell. The factions despise each other and have warred for generations.

Then Lucy discovers an ancient legend predicting the arrival of the Chosen One, destined to bring forth an end to the Reapers. The surprises continue when she realizes she is that person. For Lucy, being the Chosen One doesn’t change much. Fighting Reapers is just another day in the life of a Keeper.

Stay With Me
by Elyssa Patrick
Release Date: August 30th 2013 by Elyssa Patrick
Pages: 276
Genres: New Adult, Romance
Author's Links: Goodreads, Website, Twitter, 

I’ve been famous since I can remember. Singing, acting, dancing—I’ve done it all. The tabloids cover my every move, but I don’t want that anymore. I want to be normal, whatever that is.

When I leave Hollywood for college in Vermont, I’m on my own for the first time in my life. This is my chance to figure out who I am and what I want in life.

But it’s a lot harder than I expected. I can’t escape my image. Classes are difficult, and I’m struggling. And then there’s Caleb Fox.

Sexy, intriguing Caleb Fox.

Caleb is the one man who doesn’t want to use me. He breaks down my walls. He challenges me. He wants me. And I just don’t know if I can give him the same—or if he’ll stick around when he finds out my shameful secret that the tabloids haven’t managed to uncover.

Dating him is risky enough, but loving him could break me.
New Adult/Contemporary Romance with a HEA - Recommended for ages 17 and older.

Review: Four Weddings and a Break Up by Elyssa Patrick

Four Weddings and a Break Up 
by Elyssa Patrick
Released Date: May 12th 2014 by Elyssa Patrick
Pages: ebook 
View/Purchase: Goodreads, Amazon, iBooks, B&N

From Elyssa Patrick comes a light, sexy, emotional contemporary romance perfect for fans of Jill Shalvis, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and Bella Andre, about what happens when a fake relationship becomes all too real. 

One fake relationship . . .

Ginny Michaels has always been a good girl and—ever since surviving a school shooting a little over a year ago—hailed a hero. Except she doesn’t feel like a hero. She can't even have a one-night stand with sexy Wes Dalton properly. When her big city fling resurfaces in her hometown with an intriguing proposition, she's powerless to resist. A fake relationship is exactly what's needed to keep her small town's matchmakers at bay during the upcoming wedding season. If only her attraction to Wes were as easy to ignore.

Too many real kisses . . .

Wes Dalton doesn’t have many regrets, and that includes his night with Ginny. But he's always hoped to strengthen his relationship with his estranged family. When his father’s health takes a bad turn, Wes puts his life on hold and moves to the meddling seaside town of Cape Hope. With his barriers in place—and a beautiful woman to help him hold them up—he's prepared for anything. Or so he thinks. Despite his determination to leave as soon as the summer is over, those fake kisses are starting to feel an awful lot like the real thing.

My Review:

Four Weddings and a Break Up was such a cute and romantic story to read. I found myself liking the characters personalities and the overall plot. Ever since Ginny Michaels survived a school shooting, the town of Cape Hope has been calling her a hero for saving her students by taking a bullet in order to protect them. But Ginny doesn't feel like a hero, because although she saved her students, she couldn't save the one student that started the shooting. She takes fault on that, and that has affected in a major way both physically and mentally. Now that hasn't stopped everyone else from seeing her as a hero and when it comes to love, her town has taken the job to find her the perfect man. Not only is wedding season in Cape Hope and she along with her sister's bakery are busier than ever, but when she sees her one-night stand Wes Dalton in her town she doesn't have any idea just how much her life is going to change.

To Wes Dalton, the one-night stand that he had with Ginny hasn't left his mind. It's all he can think of, but he knows that he'll never see her again. Now he is called back to Cape Hope to help out his step-brothers and his sick father and things aren't turning as well as he would like them to be. Not having a proper relationship with them has hurt the way they see each other, but now his dad is sick and he is needed in Cape Hope more than ever. Wes knows the town very well and he also knows that there is going to be a lot of matchmaking involved, but when he sees Ginny everything changes and his proposition to her can either help the other or hurt them in the long run. One thing is for sure, Wes has to go back to his life in Las Vegas by the end of summer, without getting romantically involved with anyone. 

The thing that I liked the most about the book was how there was character development in both of the main characters. Ginny hasn't had the best year after the shooting and she grows a lot throughout the book. So did Wes's relationship with his family, it grow and his view on commitment change for the better. Overall, the story was consistent, it was very well-written and the ending was just perfect for the story. I highly recommend it. :)
