And it's all downhill from there: mandatory AA meetings, visits to his probation officer, and dealing with the stress of Gloria’s vicious rumors, plus a visit from his Chicago friends. To top it all off, he's forced into a project partnership with Gloria’s best friend Rory, a girl who kind of wants to kill him.<br />A paternity suit, betrayals of trust, insurmountable loss—it’s basically the senior year from hell. After a while Axl starts to believe that not even proving that Gloria is lying will be enough to put his life back together again. But then hope appears from one of the last places he expects and he realizes he may finally be ready to trust someone with his heart.</span></span><br />

She is more than a friend though; she is also my co-author for the Laguna Tide Series. While she was here we planned a mass photo shoot for the remaining covers in the series. The shoot was fun and highly successful. We were in love with the images. There was a slight problem though. They did not match Taken By Chance's cover. At all. So we decided to re-shoot that cover, and this amazing image is what we came up with. While the picture was exactly what we hoped, the talented Cait Greer's work with the font made it perfect. We love these books and are beyond pleased that the models actually look like our characters. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you read my blog, then you'll know I love E.M. Tippetts' books. I have enjoyed all of them. 'Someone Else's Fairytale' is my favorite series though. This book is the third in that series. I really think you should read the first two before you read this one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">First, let me say I LOVED this book. Jason and Chloe remain one of my favorite literary couples. They are both good characters, genuinely nice people you can cheer for. I've enjoyed their fairytale. What's interesting about this series is we get to see what happens after they fall in love and get married. Chloe is getting more sure of herself and letting her emotional guards down further. Chloe is such a good lead. She tries so hard to think clearly and not to jump to conclusions. She had more strength in this book. Seeing her stand up for herself was very welcome. She has really grown throughout the series while still retaining her sweetness.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While we have Chloe's work playing an important role in the book there is still plenty of time spent with her family and friends. Those scenes and the ones with Jason are my favorite. I know Jason's ex-girlfriend went through something awful but I still do not like her. I did appreciate Jason's handling of her though. I like Jason a lot. He and Chloe are a wonderful couple and I'm hoping there are children in their near future. I highly recommend this series.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While the storyline wrapped up nicely I was left wishing the story kept going. I think I heard that Tippets is planning on continuing the series. I really hope so!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is what the book is about (description and cover from Goodreads):</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; widows: 1;">Chloe knew she was giving up the quiet life when she married Hollywood A-lister, Jason Vanderholt. She expected harassment from paparazzi but not from the writers of Blood Ritual, a television crime drama that brought national attention to a tough case she is trying to solve as a forensic scientist. While she and the rest of the Albuquerque Police Department once collaborated with the show, now relations have gone sour, and details that the police are trying to keep secret in the investigation are cropping up in episodes watched by millions. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; widows: 1;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; widows: 1;">If that weren’t enough, everyone in Chloe’s life seems to be going through a rough patch, from her best friend, Lori, who is trying to plan a wedding, to her niece Kyra who is upset about Jason’s choice of television roles, to Jason himself who is inexplicably moody and withdrawn. None of this drama is the type of thing Chloe knows how to resolve. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; widows: 1;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; widows: 1;">She is trained to do one thing: hunt down the big bad wolves of the world. But with her connections to fame compromising her work, she may not even be allowed to stay on the case. The clock is ticking as law enforcement agencies across the country try to find a serial killer before he strikes again. Chloe is faced with a choice, to help catch one of the most evil criminals in history, or provide support to the friends and family who have always been there for her. Either way, she feels she might make the mistake of a lifetime.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Out of Bounds</span>, my latest release is now available. Here is what it's about:<br />
<br />
At the end of her junior year, Jackie Sawyer ended her lifelong friendship with Jordan when her unrequited crush on him became too painful. And thanks to the district’s school boundary changes, Jackie is getting a fresh start as a senior. She’s ready to make new friends, get her first boyfriend, and put Jordan behind her. Only there’s one problem: Jordan is at her new high school. How can she move on when she sees him every day?<br />
<br />
Jordan Knowles used to have it all. He was the starting quarterback with loads of money, Jackie for a best friend, and a gorgeous girlfriend, Anna. Then last year it all fell apart, and his family had to trade in their ritzy estate for a crappy apartment. The one bright spot of moving is the chance to go to a new school without Anna or Jackie. But on his first day, not only is he warming the bench, but he finds the two people he most wanted to avoid. Seeing Jackie reminds him that he really misses his best friend. More than he wants to admit.<br />
<br />
Though part of a series (it is the third book in the Pom Pom Periodicals book) and tied to Breaking Pointe, it can easily be read as a stand alone.<br />

that's right, I said 6 YASH teams which means more prizes, news, and fun for
all you readers out there! So let's get started!</div>

So, I have some big news! My latest book came out today! You can purchase it on Amazon (or read it for free if you have Amazon Unlimited)! It's a YA stand-alone that I would describe as a sci-fi for people who don't like sic-fi, more X-men than Asimov. I am really proud of this book. I hope you guys like it!<br />
<br />
It's been said, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. In the aftermath of an alien invasion, the old saying became literal.<br />
<br />
When the aliens attacked Earth, their bombs changed our atmosphere. Through DNA manipulation, humanity survived, but exist now as two distinct classes of people: the Valudis who heal and gain strength from every hurt, and the weaker Debilii, for whom the slightest injury can be fatal. The Debilii are servants for the Valudis, who in turn act as warriors and protectors. And ruling over them all are the alien Orions who decided they liked Earth enough to stay.<br />
<br />
Despite being born a Debilii, Lexie Hake bravely joined the resistance to free Earth from the Orions. When several run-ins with Bryant, a handsome Valudis, bring her secret activities to the aliens’ notice, the whole rebellion is put at risk. Lexie is forced to take a more active role in overthrowing the Orions. She might be Earth’s last chance at freedom, and if she fails, the Orions’ ruthless reign may never end.<br />

<br />
Everyone needs a safe space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
For Lizzie Warner, that space has always been in front of the camera on her hit show, or on stage to a sold out concert arena. Since before she can remember, she’s been a star, but that may be about to change.<br />
<br />
She’s nineteen. Her show has been cancelled and now she’s going to play the lead in a new prime time drama series, but is the world ready to take her seriously, or will she be typecast as the cute tween queen forever?<br />
Her network has decided to be aggressive and has invested millions of dollars in an ad campaign for her show, money she’s not sure she can earn back. Her co-star can’t stand her, and the writing for the show turns out to be poor at best. The only reason Lizzie didn’t walk away from the job offer to begin with is because she’s broke, the victim of a decade of bad money management.<br />
<br />
Then there’s Devon, the personal trainer at her gym. Arrogant and abrasive, he’s the last guy she should ever find attractive, but she has a hopeless crush on him anyway, and he doesn’t seem entirely disinterested either. In fact, sometimes he’s downright sweet to her. If only he weren’t an untamable bad boy who uses and dumps women like they’re nothing. Though Lizzie’s friends warn her to stay away, he’s the only person who can create what she needs: a safe space. But is there any way she can break him of his years' long habit of being a user?<br />

Clues</div>
<br />
As Devon swaggers through the gym, there’s a sweep of female heads turning, like the wake behind a boat in water. He ignores them, though, and comes straight to me.<br />
<br />
My mind races, desperate to have a witty response ready for whatever obnoxious, arrogant crack he’s about to make. I avert my eyes from his toned body, flawless complexion, and those piercing hazel eyes. (I never thought of hazel as a piercing color before I met this guy.)<br />
<br />
I stand in my designer blouse, jeans, and boots by the exit with my roommate, Kyra, who digs in her purse for her keys, oblivious to his approach. When she looks up, her mouth turns down in a scowl. “Don’t, Devon,” she says.<br />
<br />
“Don’t what?” His eyes are wide with innocence and his mouth is curled into its usual smirk.<br />
<br />
I draw myself up to my full height, unsure whether I should look right at him defiantly or look away, as if he’s beneath my notice. If this were scene, I think, and he were the male romantic lead… wait, do I want to think of him as the romantic lead? Does that give too much of my hand away? Suffice it to say I’m not navigating this situation with the kind of cool, collected air I aspire to.<br />
<br />
“Have a good day, Veronica,” he says to me.<br />
<br />
“That,” says Kyra. “Stop calling her that. Lizzie is what we call an actress. The stuff you see her do on television isn’t real. Let me know if I’m throwing too many concepts at you too fast.”<br />
<br />
He directs his attention to her.<br />
<br />
Now, I think, here’s my chance. I should mock him for watching children’s television (that’s where I played the “Veronica” he’s referring to), or double down on Kyra’s insult about not understanding that I’m an actress. Anything to puncture his ego.<br />
<br />
I’ve acted on a show watched by millions of people around the world, sang whole concerts to sold out arena venues, and in front of this one guy, I choke. I cannot string together a coherent insult. My only saving grace is that he isn’t looking at me and doesn’t see my blank and no doubt embarrassed expression.<br />
<br />
“Hey, so you said you wanted to know a good app for a pedometer,” he says to Kyra, whipping out his phone and showing her the screen.<br />
<br />
The moment for trading insults has passed and I just stand, feeling like a third wheel while my roommate talks to her personal trainer, her silky black ponytail bobbing as he shows her some options.<br />
<br />
“All right, bandwrecker?” he jibes.<br />
<br />
There, another opportunity. He just insulted Kyra. I should say… something.<br />
<br />
“That should be fine, man-whore,” she replies. “Let’s go Lizzie. Hey, you gonna wish Lizzie good luck for her first day on the set of her new show?”<br />
<br />
“I’m still not over All About Veronica being cancelled. This is a painful moment for me,” he replies.<br />
<br />
“Why do you watch Nickelodeon?” I blurt out.<br />
<br />
“It’s quality programming,” he says without missing a beat. “And as your roommate here will tell you, it’s at my intellectual level.” He holds his hand horizontal to the floor, at about waist height. Then with a wink he turns away. “Ladies,” he says to a couple of women ogling him on the gym floor. “May I help you with anything?”<br />
<br />
They both giggle and it’s clear they have him pegged for the superficial, commitment adverse player that he is. It’s also clear that he doesn’t mind. His confidence doesn’t diminish, not even a little bit, that’s how sure he is that he can have his way with any girl he wants. From what I’ve seen, he’s right.<br />
<br />
Kyra shoots him a withering look behind his back. But that fades as soon as she turns to me. “You ready?”<br />
<br />
I shake my head.<br />
<br />
“You’ll kill it,” she says, leaning on the door that opens to the parking garage. “You can do this.”<br />
<br />
I follow her out and do my best to act confident. A glance over my shoulder reveals that Devon’s paused to watch us leave. I look away fast. He’s a jerk, I tell myself. He’s a user. It doesn’t matter that he’s gorgeous; I work in Hollywood. Gorgeous is normal.<br />
<br />
It’s as if there’s always a spotlight on Devon, though. No matter where he is in the room, I can sense him out of the corner of my eye.<br />
<br />
Kyra holds out her hand, and we fist bump before we part ways, her to her red Jeep Liberty that she calls “Libby,” and me to the car that waits at the curb. I greet the driver as I climb in the back.<br />
<br />
He turns to hand me the half-caff soy latte I requested he pick up on the way, and then we’re off.<br />
I shut my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose. I can do this. I can do this. The set is a safe space. A safe space. This is the mantra that has worked for me for over a decade. Don’t get me wrong, acting classes and coaching help a lot too, but this was the secret my mother unlocked for me at the very beginning of it all. People respect the set and the stage. There are social rules that prevent them from mocking or laughing. The more relaxed and expressive you can be, the more people respect what you do, provided you’re inside that safe space.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sixteen-year-old Gabriella Kilpatrick
can shoot fire from her hands, which would be great if she didn’t
get blamed for a blazing inferno that kills 17 schoolmates. Gabby
will have to learn who she can trust, how to control her own power,
and most of all, how to lead a Council of Elementals, most of whom
have more control over their power than she does. If she can’t,
she’ll find herself just like those 17 schoolmates: burned and six
feet under.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">
Gabriele had dared her to do this. “Just walk in, sign your name, and play a song for heaven's sake.” It was easy for her to say. Eva Baumann's sister didn't understand what it was like to be afraid. What it was like to be invisible. Gabriele oozed confidence, tall and lithe like a runway model, lighting up every room she entered. She was pretty, talented, smart.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
And not handicapped.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
Eva eyed the graffiti-marred entrance of the Blue Note Pub and watched as other musicians and-patrons strolled into the darkened room. Music pumping from the sound system escaped into the narrow corridor of four-story stone buildings every time the heavy wooden door opened and closed. Eva carefully set down her guitar case and rested her hand over her chest, willing her heartbeat to slow. The muscle pulsed erratically, and her stomach wanted to dry heave.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
Eva gripped her cane with white knuckles. She'd learned to master the uneven sidewalks with careful steps, but the cobblestones were still a nemesis, especially in colder months like March. The rubber knob </span><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="c49cb8f2-2971-4407-b041-45b077cfed64" id="1d7bd23a-d6bf-45ab-8535-6990161853b9" style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="b9b99164-c23b-419a-a4ca-d4f60a2bb20d" id="89bef327-42d0-42f6-a353-2f8ee04a03cf"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="3ab55395-007a-40cd-ae68-4df90025e7d3" id="e6a0e1dc-2574-4a1a-9515-fcedd0c27933"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="247c46be-2cff-4d6a-8904-3657157a48b9" id="33face85-678a-4827-bf8c-425266acaad3">on</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> the tip of her cane had to center on a stone, otherwise she could lose her balance and fall. It was necessary to wait for a break in traffic or to continue to the corner for a walk light before daring to cross the street.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
She took a deep breath. She could do this. This </span><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="e9c16f89-14f0-4b61-9202-7d227f4b536b" id="079e487e-d81c-4b7d-8834-b0db0a0d1e92" style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="922e2609-a295-41b1-865b-7b11b936ecec" id="a2b46b5a-b447-42bc-a97c-b56b30e1cfa7"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="463e3405-2016-457d-bc9a-391d0451ab30" id="6cf3b920-f8dc-4667-8348-fb9ecf456dea"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="7ad84c5a-4edc-4f8e-af79-7b7c5d32aa21" id="93a31720-3320-472d-8cae-bfc117ef7126">was</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> just an irrational fear—not real. Nothing bad would happen to her in that room. It was filled with people who loved music as much as she did. It was loud and crowded and dark, and no one would expect her to talk. When they called her name, she'd focus on the small stage, blocking out everyone in the room out until she safely stepped up. Then she'd just close her eyes and pretend she was at the street church playing to the people who came </span><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="27d9f84a-afbb-4767-8fbc-b167580690b3" id="67c2d03a-200b-4499-a131-d98e818a5cd1" style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="8c30dcfb-df06-4604-b3be-e62a093d102e" id="6843eb0d-44ac-4d49-871d-93cc41572b6e"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="b021e837-d455-42df-9b8b-98143fdf4f8b" id="5cb4297e-f0da-4d20-840b-c6825957d2db"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="efd242eb-aead-46d9-a911-b41d8e142af6" id="d66c01dd-a5e9-4c31-a935-1730815e87ae">for</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> the soup they provided.</span><br />

She lumbered across with a guitar in her left hand and her cane in her right. The weight of her instrument pulled her shoulders forward, her back arching slightly under her winter jacket. She caught her reflection in a store window and frowned. She looked like a crazy, old lady, not a nineteen-year-old girl.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
Eva tucked her cane under her left armpit and reached for the door. It swung open sharply, a patron had exited at the same moment, and she was shoved against the wall, nearly losing her balance.</span><br />
<br />

“Excuse me,” the guy said. He held the door open, waiting for her to go in. She wanted to turn around and head straight home, but the guy's eyes stayed on her, waiting. The cold air whooshed inside.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
It would be impolite not to pass through. “Thank you,” she said softly. She leaned on her cane and entered. She'd been to the Blue Note before. Gabriele and her British boyfriend Lennon Smith had dragged her out one night, so she knew what to expect. There was a bar to the right and table seating to the left. A poster on the wall read: “If you want to chat with your pals while the band is playing, take your conversation outside.” The air smelled of beer and cigarette smoke clinging to damp wool jackets. At the back of the </span><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="a6c60362-d95f-4e24-9167-fa1ccaa4f922" id="f7980d04-a441-4851-bc0a-219d32c1fc82" style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="04425eb4-f243-46eb-ac20-6b57838839c5" id="eaae20a9-707f-41e7-a37c-dea1e9f3bbfb"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="e18be554-b171-4d60-ab17-4f196752b8be" id="84d5156b-3d05-4b45-ac35-7f4cf52fba3d">midsized</span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> room was a small stage lit by two lights hanging from the ceiling.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
Her stomach churned, and once again she questioned herself. Why had she come? What did she have to prove? Why did she care so much what Gabriele thought? She stared back at the door.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
“Hello, </span><em style="font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="7fcc4a0b-4da9-4624-af0b-480ab8dceb1a" id="a0066869-3e8f-4816-a33d-03748e21c2c5"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="71176bc3-e466-4eeb-a017-1915be0ad347" id="e649d55d-9758-4feb-b4db-3027396d2266"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="887d08c1-907d-4934-8d7c-c4ed2df0e305" id="e3027298-61bc-4634-9da0-a7b6e08b3071">ma</span></span></span> Cherie</em><span style="font-size: large;">. Would you like to sign your name?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
The gruff yet friendly voice stopped Eva before she could leave. She knew the manager, Herr Maurice Leduc, by reputation, but had never spoken to him before. “I don't know,” she answered.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
“Well—” His eyes darted to the guitar in her hand. “I just thought since you lugged that thing in with you.” He pushed the sign-up sheet closer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
Eva didn't have the heart to deny the man. She took the pen and scribbled her name.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
“Wonderful,” Herr Leduc said with a sincere grin that filled a round face. “I look forward to hearing you play...” he glanced down at his sheet, “Eva Baumann.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
The room consisted of a lot of wood. Tables, chairs, benches and floors—all darkly stained, old wood. Even the ceiling had rough, open wood beams. Eva claimed a nearby empty chair and breathed in and out, long and slow. She was here. She'd done it. Wait until she told Gabriele. Wouldn't she be surprised?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
A server arrived, and Eva ordered a cola. The other people who shared the long table gave her sideways glances at her childish drink and cheered each other as they lifted their beer glasses.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
Herr Leduc walked on stage and welcomed everyone. He called the first act, a girl with long, golden hair, he introduced as Katja Stoltz.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
Eva listened intently impressed with the girl's talent and the way she took over the stage like she owned it. That was what Eva needed to do. Own it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
The girl finished her song, and after </span><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="65c2839b-dddf-4fdb-a186-b4da6f75fe23" id="8c622443-4ba4-455e-85e0-9d2655660a62" style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="817e6006-6b8e-448d-b26c-defc77b02026" id="cc32a8cb-9417-4b36-b475-645c71aec948"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="188002ec-bab7-48d2-86fc-c995252af2f7" id="1d874d62-e424-4723-86cb-bff739b93ec6">much</span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;">-deserved applause, she joined her friends at a table across the room. A guy in his early twenties with a peacock tattoo along one arm stood to give Katja Stoltz a hug. He had messy, dark brown hair and bristles on his face, like he hadn’t </span><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="97c24289-86fe-4c4d-abf5-12baa88d3e19" id="36ed07a9-8a2e-42ae-9b2d-7dbcdbe3712a" style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="54670b15-a8e9-4b43-994d-94cecf95a74d" id="f0915b6c-1d4a-4dc2-899b-35a581eba608"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="81ffb457-de7a-4471-8760-406e422d088c" id="5f7dc595-0a1c-4b82-94cd-ae02ff0bc2b1">shaven</span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> in a few days. He laughed and high-fived her before sitting and draping the peacock around a thin girl with spiky hair.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
A shiver ran up Eva's back. She recognized that guy. Last summer, when she was playing guitar for the homeless, many of them had raised their hands to God in praise. The outside metal blinds had been raised, they always were when the church was open, and a group of guys had stopped to watch from across the street. They began to laugh and then threw their arms in the air, mocking the people worshiping inside.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
That was the first time Eva had seen that peacock tattoo, and she'd never forget the laughing face of the handsome boy who went with it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
Her short-lived confidence shriveled at the thought of being the guy's next target. Oh, why did she come? She'd leave right now if she thought she could do it without making a scene. The room had filled, and there was no way she could slip out unnoticed with her guitar and her cane.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
She sipped her cola and kept her eyes focused on each act as it was called. Every time Herr Leduc stepped to the mic to call a name, Eva’s heart filled with nervous dread and emptied with a flush of relief when she didn't hear </span><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="d87b0704-1778-4651-89a0-c80b8cabf5c1" id="f9d33927-84cf-4fe3-b598-094a2c011061" style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="d69465c5-e7df-4f11-acff-1b63966d390a" id="83c3a6f0-1de9-4256-981e-1f0b09d152aa"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="0321b404-f92d-4eff-afda-e8adba2bc2f5" id="30c498b2-48fa-4038-af7f-5caef85db5bd">hers</span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
“
Sebastian Weiss,” Herr Leduc said.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
The guy with the peacock tattoo hooted, shifted out from behind his table and grabbed his guitar.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
So that was his name.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
He hopped onto the stage and strapped on a guitar with an over-confidence Eva envied. She wanted him to be </span><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="2fbb1cc1-a387-46bf-a8e2-1638332838b7" id="0b11a82c-d010-4555-812d-be8d72ffbb0f" style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="49ce3cbe-7809-41b2-a3fe-e26da8fa529e" id="76c7b33f-62fd-4c7e-b050-c90381c8182c"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="61483960-9699-495e-90a3-8f284d36a52f" id="a7b2fa41-34c8-4a06-b2e8-5d24629f6bc0">terrible so</span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> that she could add self-delusion to his other obvious traits of conceit and insensitivity, but unfortunately he wasn't. His voice was smooth and strong, and he had great range.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
She also happened to notice the flex in his biceps that poked out of the short sleeves of his dark T-shirt and how his jeans fit nicely on slender hips.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
He finished his song and fisted the air like he just won a boxing match. The audience went crazy. Eva couldn't help but join in the applause. Something about Sebastian was electric. His aura and competence, his popularity—she couldn't peel her eyes off him. His arm returned to its position around the girl beside him who hadn't smiled once. Such a contrast to </span><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="9d38f4a9-f159-445f-a390-306fa3f95e73" id="52cba0ab-2385-46d9-b136-34c62719208f" style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="be0d1da0-8873-4c94-bf5b-a094f032c780" id="a526eadc-2fcf-4aac-a09f-8b7d52fee1f1"><span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="045d1f5c-6284-4f3c-adcd-4bc23c337b40" id="9b504fad-8d6f-4859-97d1-bd74185915c1">Sebastian who</span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> couldn't stop smiling. He seemed quite taken by the pixie girl and kissed her excitedly on the cheek.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
“Eva Baumann.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
What? Eva had been so busy watching the table of cool people, she hadn't been paying attention.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
Herr Leduc's accented German bellowed again. “Eva Baumann.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
Eva's heart stopped. Then raced. Her hands broke out into a sweat, and she blinked back the tears welling up behind her eyes, which were opened far too wide. Her head prickled hotly, and she swallowed hard. She could sense the attention of the room, necks craning, everyone searching, waiting for the next act to stand.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
Herr Leduc stared at her, and all she could do was shake her head. He gave her a gracious nod and called the next name.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
A girl with short, dark hair bounced out of her seat, and within seconds Eva was forgotten. She took advantage of the swirl of commotion that occurred between acts, grabbing her guitar and cane, and limped to the entrance.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
It was a terrible mistake to come, she thought as she hobbled down the crusty street. She kept her head bowed low against the cold, and gripped her guitar case and her cane. If she'd had a third hand, she'd swipe at the bitter tear that slid down her cheek.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">

Here is the description.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Three years. So much has changed for Yara, yet much is still the same. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Yara has spent the last three years in Brazil, diligently studying with Vovó to develop her Waker abilities and desperately searching for a cure for Brent. Though her powers—and her control over them—have grown, every possible cure for Brent fails. And they're running out of the only medicine that keeps him alive. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">When a letter from the American Wakers recalls Yara and Vovó to California, Yara has to weigh the fading chance of saving Brent against the dangers of placing them all within the grasp of an old enemy. Not only has his power grown, but the barrier between our world and the spirit world is becoming dangerously thin. As the threat to the Wakers increases, Yara doesn't know if she'll be strong enough to defeat him.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Her only hope is to put her trust in some unexpected allies and fully embrace her Waker heritage. If she fails, not only could Brent die, but the power of the Wakers could disappear forever.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />Lani Woodlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14157783666477455633noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695171803446079613.post-86709468700669922432014-02-10T18:09:00.003-08:002014-02-10T18:09:43.988-08:00Break it UP<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span id="freeText562140565230340188">Kyra Armijo is making a few changes in her life. One of them being, she's no longer going to give it up to every guy who looks at her twice. And she's putting her hopes and dreams for her future first. When the aspiring photojournalist gets the opportunity of a lifetime to tag along with international boy band sensation, Triple Cross, she can't pass up the chance.<br /><br />The only problem is that she's in love with one band member, dodging the unwanted attention of another, and desperate to keep her turbulent past under wraps. Triple Cross have "nice guy" appeal, approved of by parents the world over, but have just let go their longtime manager, who controlled their clean image and media exposure with an iron fist. When Zach Wechsler, the object of Kyra's affection, begins to show interest, she has to be careful.<br /><br />Surely one girl can't destroy a band that's been together for ten years... only what if she can? Kyra knows she's one bad decision away from ruining everything she's worked for, and taking the hottest act of her generation down with her. Description and Cover taken from Goodreads.</span></div>

My thoughts about the book: E.M. Tippetts is one of my favorite authors. I haven't read a book she's written that I haven't loved.<br /><br />This was a fantastic coming of age story filled with a sweet romance. Kyra, the heroine of the story, who we first met in Tippet's Someone Else's Fairytale books is a reformed party girl with a good head on her shoulders. Yes, she has made some mistakes in her past but has been working on cleaning up her life and becoming responsible. She was a delight to read about. She kept sticking her neck out when people needed her, even if she knew it might cause problems for her.<br /><br />Zach is her love interest in the book. It was nice to read about an actual nice boy in a book. Even though I really liked him and understood (to a degree) his reactions when things went wrong, I still kinda wanted to slap him. But I feel like Tippets showed realistically how he went from an overprotected boy bander to becoming an actual adult.<br /><br />Kyra went through a lot in this book and she faced the problems head on. It showed what a strong character she was and how much she's grown throughout the series. I loved the strong family bonds in this book. The scenes Kyra had with Jason and her conversations with Chloe were my favorite of the book. I want to read more about Kyra and Zach. I'm interested to see the next stage in their life and I'm wondering what the next stage in his career is. I'm also hoping for more Jason and Chloe!</div>

Evie Starling has lived a relatively uneventful life hanging
out with friends, gossiping about boys, and driving her 1966 Mustang. All of
that changes when she moves to Gunnison, Colorado, to start college and meets
two mysterious men.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

For centuries, Alex Night and Emil Stone have yearned for
Evie—but they each have their own reasons for wanting to be with her. When both
men claim to be her soul mate and tell her about an unbelievable past, Evie
learns that she’s not the person she thought she was. Soon, Evie finds herself
in the middle of an age-old battle between the Amaranthine Society—the soul
protectors, and the Daevos Resistance—the soul destroyers. With a past she
doesn’t understand, and a future rife with danger, Evie has to decide who she
can trust. But Alex and Emil aren’t the only ones who want Evie, and her soul
is about to become the rope in an eternal tug-of-war.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I took a deep breath as I came</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
out of the memory. I was getting better at keeping my
flashback reaction less</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
noticeable, but I still steadied myself against the gate.
Alex noticed. “Are</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
you okay?” he asked.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I nodded,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
my breath less ragged. “I’m
fine.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
sure?” He came over and stood behind me, a commanding
presence. His hands were</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
a gentle weight on my arms as he turned me toward him. At
first, he seemed to</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
be looking for signs of distress, but as our eyes caught and
held, I knew his</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
thoughts were in other places, and mine were headed there,
too. His hand</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
slipped feather-light over my arms and down until they
rested above my hips. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like I was</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
having some sort of out-of-body experience, I watched as my
hand went up to his</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
face, tracing the line of his jaw. “We shouldn’t be doing
this,” I said in a</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
very unconvincing way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It wasn’t that I didn’t mean</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
what I said. I did. And I still had enough blood flowing to
my brain to</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
vocalize it. But I was having a hard time convincing my
rational side I</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
shouldn’t be making out with Alex. Especially when my
rational side was</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
practically screaming that I’d kissed Emil last night and to
be fair, I should</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
also make out with Alex. My rational side told me I wouldn’t
want a</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
double-standard. My rational side had lost its
mind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Why?” Alex</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
asked, inching slowly closer, his eyes dark in a way that
made my legs feel</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
like pudding.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There were</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
so many possible answers to that question, with reasonable
arguments why we</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
shouldn’t proceed, that I wasn’t sure which to choose. I
started with, “What if</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
the bracelet doesn’t
work?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alex</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
glanced down at my bracelet, giving a very slow smile I
could only describe as</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
predatory before eying me like he was preparing for an
attack. Apparently a</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
couple of centuries of sexual frustration will do that to
you. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It will,” he answered, still</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
moving toward me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“How can</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
you be sure?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alex’s</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
mouth curved slightly in a smile part rapacious, part entertained.
“I’ve been</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
waiting a <i>long</i> time for a</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
relationship with you, Evie. And for everything that comes
with it. I wouldn’t</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
have given you the bracelet if I wasn’t sure it would work.
I gave it to you</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
because I intend to put it to
use.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sheesh!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Judging by his dark, focused gaze, I knew he wasn’t kidding.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I don’t</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
think it’s a good idea.” I shook my head, like that would
emphasize my argument</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
and stop his sultry advances. It
didn’t.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His arms went around me tight,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
pulling me to him. My chest crushed into his, the hard
planes of his stomach</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
obvious even through our clothes. He stared down at me, not
loosening his</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
embrace. My breath was shallow as I stared back, wondering
how long it would be</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
until we both lost all common sense. He moved his lips over
my cheeks, the soft</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
skin brushing wispy strokes over my face. When he got to my
ear, he took the</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
soft pad in his lips and nipped lightly, then whispered one
word. “Why?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why? Why what? Had there been a</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
question? I fumbled around in my head for what we’d been
talking about. Oh.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s right. Bad idea. This is a bad idea. Why is it still
a bad idea? What</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
was my list again? I did more fumbling and found one. “What
about Emil?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I felt Alex tense, his shoulders</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
becoming taut under his shirt. “He’s not invited to this
conversation.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Geez! Alex had always been</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
overbearing, but apparently when it came to sex, he was not
only overbearing,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
but alarmingly primitive. Again, I attributed the aggression
to decades of pent</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
up frustration. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t you think he’ll be</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
pissed?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alex kept kissing down my neck,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
and I moaned. His hands moved around to my stomach,
unzipping my coat. He</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
quickly discarded it on the ground. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We all agreed to the rules,”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alex said, his hands moving lightly under my sweater,
inching it up ever so</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
slightly. I’d never been addicted to anything, but imagined
this was how</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
addiction started. A little at a time. Alex pulled my
sweater over my head,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
then kept kissing back up my neck and along my jawline.
“We’re not doing</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
anything wrong.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I looked at where our hands</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
were, and the clothes slowly making their way to the ground.
We were about to</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
be doing things that were wrong in a very good way. “I guess
it depends on your</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
definition. Emil would think this is seriously
wrong.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
</div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The muscles at Alex’s jaw</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ticked, his eyes glittering with a combination of passion
and anger. “I told</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
you,” he said, moving swiftly, one arm sliding under my
thighs, the other</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
around my back. He lifted me, cradling me in his arms, and
walked down the row</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
of stalls to an empty stall at the end of the barn. Fresh
hay was scattered in</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
large mounds, creating a soft bed on the ground—albeit a
scratchy one, but</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
better than the dirt floor. He laid me down gently in the
hay then straddled</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
me, the years of want and need, written across his face.
“We’re not talking</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
about him.” With that, he was on top of me, the kiss
aggressive. I could feel</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
my soulmark burning, and my bracelet seemed to be giving off
heat as well. If</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
this kept up, I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole barn
burst into flames.<o:p></o:p></div>

So much has changed for Yara, yet much is still the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Yara has spent the last three years in Brazil, diligently studying with Vovó to develop her Waker abilities and desperately searching for a cure for Brent. Though her powers—and her control over them—have grown, every possible cure for Brent fails. And they're running out of the only medicine that keeps him alive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> When a letter from the American Wakers recalls Yara and Vovó to California, Yara has to weigh the fading chance of saving Brent against the dangers of placing them all within the grasp of an old enemy. Not only has his power grown, but the barrier between our world and the spirit world is becoming dangerously thin. As the threat to the Wakers increases, Yara doesn't know if she'll be strong enough to defeat him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

Mine has been a lot more dramatic than I planned or wanted. My husband works next door in a machine shop. A few weeks ago he came into the back door yelling. His finger had been caught in on of the machines and was almost completely severed. I learned something very important in that moment. I do not do well at the sight of my husband's blood. The poor man had to calm me down. After that there were three surgeries to try to reattach the finger. In the end it turned out he lost the finger at the initial injury. I knew I was going to be spending a lot of time in the hospital (and I did) so I got some recommendations on some HAPPY books to read while I was there. Hospitals are usually enough of a soul suck I didn't need anything sad to read. My friends didn't let me down. The books they suggested were perfect. I even read some out loud to my husband and they had him smiling until it was time for the next pain pill. Here are a few that made me smile. The covers and description are from Goodreads. I hope they make you smile too.<br />

She’s going to find the cure. By forcing herself to experience the seven stages of grief through a series of social tests, she believes she will be able to get over Aiden Kennedy and make herself ready to love again. But she can’t do this experiment alone, and her partner (ex partner!) is the one who broke her heart.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Avery finds the solution to her troubles in the form of Aiden’s older brother Grayson. The gorgeous womanizer is about to be kicked off the school basketball team for failing physics. He’s in need of a good tutor and some serious extra credit. But when Avery recruits the lovable Grayson to be her “objective outside observer,” she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for, because Grayson has a theory of his own: Avery doesn’t need to grieve. She needs to live. And if there’s one thing Grayson Kennedy is good at, it’s living life to the fullest.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">When Chelsea gets nervous, embarrassed, or upset, she usually laughs it off, literally. But it’s not a happy sound. No, it’s an insane cackle, like the evil villain in a B movie horror flick, and she can’t control it.<br />So when she drops Alicia, her archenemy who just stole her boyfriend, during their cheer routine at a school assembly, it’s bad. But laughing like a maniac while Alicia writhes in pain from the leg she just broke, that’s a disaster. Chelsea doesn’t think it’s funny, but her annoying coping mechanism pops up and the whole school thinks she dropped Alicia on purpose.<br />Chelsea is kicked off the cheer team for her unsportsmanlike conduct and shunned by her classmates. With a cheer scholarship off the table, her only chance to afford her dream college is through academics. She’s getting good grades, so that would be fine, except she’s been paired with Cody, Alicia’s twin brother, to work together on the most important project of her senior year.<br />Cody isn’t happy to be forced to interact with Chelsea either. He has hated her since elementary school, for Chelsea’s treatment of Alicia. He plans to use the time with Chelsea to give her a little of the payback she deserves. The insults, pranks and sparks fly as the two find a way to get a passing grade without kissing . . . um, killing each other first!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Big-hearted Chloe Camden is the queen of her universe until her best friend shreds her reputation and her school counselor axes her junior independent study project. Chloe is forced to take on a meaningful project in order to pass, and so she joins her school’s struggling radio station, where the other students don’t find her too queenly. Ostracized by her former BFs and struggling with her beloved Grams’s mental deterioration, lonely Chloe ends up hosting a call-in show that gets the station much-needed publicity and, in the end, trouble. She also befriends radio techie and loner Duncan Moore, a quiet soul with a romantic heart. On and off the air, Chloe faces her loneliness and helps others find the fun and joy in everyday life. Readers will fall in love with Chloe as she falls in love with the radio station and the misfits who call it home.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Being a 16-year-old safecracker and active-duty daughter of international spies has its moments, good and bad. Pros: Seeing the world one crime-solving adventure at a time. Having parents with super cool jobs. Cons: Never staying in one place long enough to have friends or a boyfriend. But for Maggie Silver, the biggest perk of all has been avoiding high school and the accompanying cliques, bad lunches, and frustratingly simple locker combinations.<br /><br />Then Maggie and her parents are sent to New York for her first solo assignment, and all of that changes. She'll need to attend a private school, avoid the temptation to hack the school's security system, and befriend one aggravatingly cute Jesse Oliver to gain the essential information she needs to crack the case . . . all while trying not to blow her cover.</span>Lani Woodlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14157783666477455633noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695171803446079613.post-78187844433540614562013-06-07T16:31:00.000-07:002013-06-07T16:31:20.515-07:00Blood Revelation<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Is anyone else watching The Voice this season? I've loved the show since season one and am loving it even more this season. I think Usher and Shakira have been great additions to the show. My friend Melonie was able to get us tickets to see the taping this season. We had fantastic seats and were able to see some of the Battle Rounds and all of the judges. I spent about five hours watching Adam Levine. There are worse ways to pass the time. :) The taping was fun and made me realize how much better the performances are in person. The knockout rounds were sad to me, though. Three people I really liked were sent home. Does anyone have a favorite to win?<br />
