Blind Date #6








This is a brand new meme for those all to boring Monday's. Book Blind Date is inspired by a Facebook post Adria from Adria's Romance Reviews and Danielle at Book Whore Blog saw on Lawrence Public Library Page about a book blind date. This really got us thinking, what if the only thing you knew about a book was what the story was about? No character names, no pretty covers to suck you in. 

Here's how it works, you know the old saying never judge a book by its cover? Well you won't be able to, for this meme you are going to decide which book you would go on a "date" with based on the synopsis. Names are removed just in case you have heard about these telltale heroines. 


Blind Date  #1


No matter how hard she tries, E**** never thinks she’s good enough, from her job to her weight to her love life. After enduring years of abuse at the hands of an ex-boyfriend, E*** has been drifting through life in a daze. Until, that is, she meets S**** on a promotional shoot for the NHL’s Nashville Assassins. Before E*** knows what’s happening, the gorgeous S*** breaks the ice and shatters her world.

A brilliant athlete inside the rink, S**** is tired of the life he’s living outside of it: the girls, the money, the drinking. But everything changes when he meets E***. After laying eyes on this feisty, witty, beautiful woman, he feels like he’s just taken the hardest hit of his life. No matter how skeptical she is, S***knows they are meant to be together—if only he can convince E*** to put her insecurities aside throw her insecurities out the window before she misses out on a shot at love.

Blind Date #2

Some women are bad. Some women are a bad idea. The best ones are both...

As a Black Ops assassin, “L***” L*** has had more than his fair share of close calls. Now he's turned in his sniper rifle for the simple life of his small hometown. So the last thing he ever expected was to end up at gunpoint. Or that the woman holding the gun would be his best friend's little sister and L***'s on-again/off-again lover.
T**** is Trouble, and she likes it that way. And seeing L**** again? Well, he's been her dirty little secret for the past few years and everyone knows that secrets in a small town are almost impossible to keep. But T*** has bigger problems on her plate. Like the local mob boss who wants her dead.
And right now the only thing standing between Trouble and disaster is a hottie named L****…

{Review} Ten Tiny Breaths

Ten Tiny Breaths (Ten Tiny Breaths, #1)Ten Tiny Breaths by K.A. Tucker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Ten Tiny Breaths had me, simple as that. This was more than your average NA story, filled with laughing, heartache and I found myself holding my breath at what would happen next.

Kacey a twenty year old and her fifteen year old sister Livie, head to Miami after a four year stay with that Aunt and Uncle in Michigan. Four years ago everything was taken from Kacey and all she has left his her baby sister who she will protect. After living a life of meaningless sex and drugs, Livie asked Kacey to stop it and so she does. When events escalate at the Aunt’s house the two sisters. with little money, plan to start a new life together where they can be different people if they want. Moving to Miami turns out to be more than Kacey bargains for and finds herself surrounded by a new family she didn’t know she needed.

Kacey is a bad-ass chick on the outside but on the inside she is struggling with the demons of her past. At times she can come off rude but you still want to get to know her, there is more than meets the eye when it comes to Kacey. Livie is a sweet and smart teenager who is wise beyond her years, forced to grow up to soon. You can’t help but love these two sister and what to follow them on their journey of discovery. Trent has just moved in to the apartment next door and is a sexy sweetheart and has the need to protect Kacey and make her happy. Storm and Mia live on the other side of Kacey and Livie, these two have their own sub story and become a big part of the sisters lives.

K.A. Tucker had brought us a story that is filled with emotion. Your heart will be filled will hope, love, unbearable sadness and everything in between. This is one of my top books so far this year, by far. A beautiful story filled with beautifully damaged and strong characters. I received this book from the publisher for my honest review.

Blind Date #5

Book Blind Date is inspired by a Facebook post Adria from Adria's Romance Reviews and Danielle at Book Whore Blog saw on Lawrence Public Library Page about a book blind date.

Blind date #1

Once upon a time in New York City, there was a down-on-his-luck actor named ****, who was talented and gorgeous in that dreamy, broody sort of way that makes all the women swoon. But show biz is a rough biz – he lost out on a part in a big film, and now his day job hours have been cut too. What’s a handsome young thing in need of a role to do?

Enter ***** ***. She’s sexy and shrewd and the most top-notch casting director there is. She’s this close to landing a coveted gig casting a film based on a best-selling mega-romance novel, but there’s a catch. After one too many transgressions with lovely single ladies, the film’s philandering producer has been put on a short leash by his wife, who’s forbidden him from working with anyone unattached.

So the happily single S**** strikes a pact with R***** – play the role of her fiancee until she closes the deal, and he’s guaranteed to get an audition for the starring role in the film. But as the two play pretend, the lines between make-believe and matters of the heart start to blur. Especially after that hot night in the balcony of the Broadway theater. And that scorching afternoon in the stacks of the New York Public Library. Who’s playing who? Or is someone else really the director in the secret affair of their lives?


Blind Date #2

Over five seasons, Miss *** *** has managed to repel every gentleman of consequence and engineer a debacle at Almack’s so horrifying that her waltzing privileges are revoked. If she’s not in the library reading about Mongol hordes, she’s embarrassing her family or getting involved in impulsive scrapes.

Enter the Duke*****, a man known for his love of duty and decorum. Through a vexing series of events, he finds himself shackled to Miss **** in matrimony. But all is not lost. The duke harbors a not-so-secret affinity for spanking and discipline…and his new wife is ever in need of it. Will the mismatched couple find their way to marital happiness? Or will the duke be forever Disciplining the Duchess?
