Love, Lex 

by 
This summer, I’d planned to celebrate my eighteenth birthday in Europe with my fellow Manhattanites—Taddy Brill, Blake Morgan, and Vive Farnworth—until I caught my boyfriend screwing my mother. According to the police report, this vomit-inducing incident happened around the same time I’d supposedly blown-up my mother’s penthouse. Like I’m walking around Soho with a stick of dynamite in my Louis Vuitton purse—not! Now, my besties and I are in jail.

Officer Ford Gotti, the Harley-wheelin’ biker cop who arrested us, keeps sticking his perfectly-sculpted nose into my case. His inked body is jacked like a superhero, and he says I can trust him. He wants me to fess up. I won’t. Not again. Why should I? My friends and I had a previous stint in juvie that nearly destroyed us. I gotta protect them and keep my mouth shut. Right? —Lex Easton, women’s studies major, motorcycle enthusiast, and virgin. 

The Undergrad Years is a New Adult contemporary miniseries about first loves, independence, and everlasting friendships. 

Reader warning: Contains mature content intended for readers 17 and up.

Unintentional Virgin 
by A.J. Bennett
Released Date: Published September 19th 2013 by Amazon Digital Services, Inc.
Pages: 203
View/Purchase: Goodreads, Amazon, B&N

Karma Points is cursed. Cursed with a stupid name and the inability to lose her virginity. She's on a mission to lose her virginity before she turns twenty if it's the last thing she does.

One night, her good friend Eva brings her to an underground club where Karma meets a tattooed bouncer. He’s far from the clean-cut type she normally falls for, which makes her think this finally might be the night she crosses the threshold of womanhood.

Excited, she goes home with the bouncer named Jax and as always, her dreams crash down once again. Jax cannot believe she is willing to give away her virginity to a stranger she met at a club. As the only son with five sisters and a widowed mom, he can't morally go through with it, even though he's never been more tempted in his life.

Unwilling to let her walk away he strikes a deal. Karma has to spend three weeks dating him and then decide if she wants to have sex or walk away.

My Review:

Unintentional Virgin was such a great book, not only was this book hilarious, but it also is about personal acceptance and finding the right person to be with. 

Karma Points has been cursed with her name and no such luck at losing her virginity. There is always something going wrong whenever she is finally about to lose it, that she now thinks that she is really cursed. She lives with her gay father and his partner, who have always been supportive by trying to be the best fathers possible (and they really are). However, she is determined to lose her virginity once and for all before her twentieth birthday. When her friend, Eva, suggests they go to an underground club, she wasn't expecting to find herself attracted to the bouncer. All she wanted was a one-night stand and she was planning to convince Jax to give her what she wants no strings attached. 

When Jax saw Karma walked into the club he couldn't take his eyes away from her, so when she is willing to spend the night with him, he couldn't believe his luck. The minute he finds out that Karma just wants a one-night stand to lose her virginity, he makes her a deal: to spend three weeks dating him and then she'll decided if she still wants to have sex with him or not. 

I really enjoyed reading about the characters, Karma is such an unlucky girl that she is willing to go to the extremes to get what she wants. When she accidentally blurts out that she has a bucket list, (which it's not actually true), Jax is sweet and willing to help her fulfill what's on the list. I laughed when she got the list off the internet without having any idea what was on the list, so you can image what her reaction was when there were things that she wasn't expecting to do. As the two start to spend time together, the more she is feels comfortable around him and soon she starts to develop feelings for him. Jax is really the character that kept me from putting the book away in the middle of the night, he is one of those characters that is supportive and romantic. I liked the fact that he didn't want to take advantage of Karma and her situation, but decided to give her time to really think things through before making her final decision. Overall, the story was great, Bennett did a good job describing the characters and the ending was my favorite part by far. It was hilarious! I highly recommend it. (:

Book Blitz: HOT SHOT by Lynn Raye Harris {EXCERPT + GIVEAWAY}


    Hot Shot 

      by 

Genre: Contemporary Romance 


Cool under pressure... Until now.

Hostile Operations Team sniper Jack "Hawk" Hunter is cool, methodical, and utterly lethal. Nothing rattles Jack's calm. But that was before he learned he fathered a child three years ago--a child who has just been kidnapped.

Gina Domenico is a superstar, a pop sensation with a string of hit records. But deep inside, she's still the lonely girl she's always been. When Jack saved her from an arms dealer, they spent three unforgettable days together waiting for rescue--and Gina fell hard for the sexy soldier before he walked away forever.

But now she needs his help and she'll do anything to get it. Though Jack can never forgive Gina for keeping his child from him, he'll do everything in his power--and HOT's--to bring their son home safely. 

Nothing is what it seems, however, and their fates hang in the balance as someone else pulls the strings...and brings them ever closer to an explosive confrontation that could either save their son--or cost them everything.

***Excerpt***

A few minutes later Jack came into the bedroom. She thought she should tell him to knock first or something, but she didn’t have the energy. The barriers that would normally be there between her and a man just weren’t there with Jack.

“You didn’t eat enough on the plane. I ordered room service.”

“I’m not hungry.”

“Gina.” He walked into the room and stopped in front of her. His blue eyes roamed her face while her heart kicked up. When he met her eyes again, her breath hitched. “You have to rest and you have to eat. We don’t know what’s going to happen, and you need to be strong. That’s one of the rules on a mission. Take care of yourself or you’re no good to your team.”

“I’m not part of your team. I’m just me.”

“You aren’t alone on this. We’re here, and that makes you part of the team. I’m ordering you to eat, same as I’d order my spotter or anyone else under my authority, and then I’m ordering you to rest.”

“I’m not under your authority.” Maybe she should be angry at the way he was talking to her, but she was oddly touched. God, just blame it on stress and a situation outside her control. She needed to push this man away, but she couldn’t seem to do it.

“Think of this like the island. I’m the one with the experience. I know what I’m doing. I got you out of there, didn’t I?”

She nodded.

“Trust me to get you out of here too, okay?”

“All right.”

He lifted an eyebrow. “You gonna eat when the food gets here?”

“Depends on what you ordered. I hate squash, for instance.”

“Then I’ll call and cancel the squash sandwich.”

She couldn’t help but laugh even though it had an edge that could turn into panic at any moment. “You didn’t order anything of the sort.”

“No.” He backed away and reached for the door handle. “Put on your pajamas. Get comfortable.”

“I don’t wear pajamas. I don’t wear anything.”

He stopped in mid-swing and she wanted to laugh again. She did wear pajamas, but she’d wanted to rattle him. Just because.

“Well, honey, you can come out here in nothing if you want, but it’ll probably be embarrassing for you and the delivery person both. Still, you can tip him good and I’m sure it’ll be fine.”

He shot her a grin before shutting the door behind him. Gina stood there with her heart pounding and her pulse skipping and wondered just what it was about him that made her want to get beneath his skin.
