Book Description:

Clarity 1
Her world has always been dark, but he might be able to change everything…

Fiercely independent Helen Winters was born completely blind, but she vowed never to let her disability keep her down. She did not expect a traumatic event to devastate her life and force her to drop out of college. Disillusioned by the cruelty of people, Helen retreated from society to live by herself as a reclusive writer in the woods–where no one could ever hurt her again.

When a brilliant young doctor shows up on her doorstep, promising her that his new research can give her the ability to see for the first time, Helen stubbornly refuses. She has learned not to trust anyone, and to rely only on herself. But Dr. Liam Larson will not take no for an answer. He makes it his personal mission to rescue Helen from her loneliness, and bring joy into her world once more–the joy she has denied herself for so long.

When Helen’s demons come racing back into her life, threatening to rip her apart and destroy the strength she has carefully rebuilt, Liam is the only one who might be able to save her. Can he reach the broken girl in time, helping her to heal and see the world in a different light? Or will Helen’s grief send her spiraling out of control, lost to him forever?

Clarity 2:
When violent memories come racing back, he is her only hope…

Helen Winters was living a lonely existence when the charming Dr. Liam Larson coaxed her out of solitude with the promise of healing her sightless eyes. She was hopeful at the prospect of gaining vision for the first time and being reunited with her family. She was also growing somewhat fond of the persuasive young doctor. For the first time in years, she was being magnetically drawn to a new friend…

Then everything came crashing down.

Book Description:

Prequel novella to Lure (The Allure Chronicles #1)*

Never agree to a road trip to New Orleans with your roommate. 

At least not when your roommate is dragging you along while she reconnects with an ex-boyfriend. Possible consequences of failing to take my advice:

1) Unknowingly going out with a vampire stripper
2) Getting kidnapped by said vampire's nest mates
3) Falling head over heels for your winged hero

Believe it or not number 3 is the worst one, especially when no one believes you that he exists.

New Orleans!

I absolutely adore the French Quarter even though I’ve never been there and the fact that Seduction’s Kiss by Alyssa Rose Ivy takes place there is awesome. Daisy is dragged to New Orleans by her roommate and friend Reyna, so she can spend the weekend of Halloween with the boy she likes. While Daisy doesn’t exactly want to go, she sucks it up and takes one for the team so her friend can see the boy she likes, but what happens in New Orleans is worse than anything Daisy could have dreamed up.

I’m a huge fan of Alyssa Rose Ivy and I’ve gotta say this was an incredibly strong start to a new series. I loved Daisy. Who can’t relate to having a friend who you do stuff for even though you don’t really wanna? And Halloween as the setting was perfect. I love Ivy’s character’s they are always so relatable and well thought out. She does such a good job with the banter as well.

Book Description:

When twenty-three year old Tala Velsik appears in a last minute performance art piece, she has no idea that public nudity will be the least of her worries. 

Wearing nothing but silver paint and a pair of antlers, her body is bared to hundreds of eyes, but one penetrating stare simmers through the others, Adrian Caro.

Adrian Caro is one of the world’s most famous directors and photographers, but with striking features and a body made for sin, most would guess he belonged in front of the camera. 

 Of course, the last thing Tala needs is romance, even with a walking Adonis. Mounting bills, a dead end job and a set of childhood memories most therapists would pale at; love is low on her list. Assuming, of course, her new admirer allows her to have a say in the matter.

Shocked yet thrilled by Adrian’s passionate domination, Tala can’t help but feel she’s standing on quicksand. For all his wealth, fame and talent, Adrian is tormented by his own demons; hiding secrets big enough to destroy them both.

Excerpt:

“No, Monique, we are going to Sacred Coeur tomorrow,” Sergio said.

She pouted, but Sophie walked over and hugged her, kissing her cheek. A pang went through my chest at the love and comfort between these two women. It scraped against a deep longing in me to have a similar connection with my mother. I stroked the knife wound on my forearm, remembering that it had been earned one of the times I had trusted in and tried for that kind of comfort.

“Tala? Tala? Someone give Tala a hug, I think she could use one right now,” Fatou said.

I blinked at her. “What? Huh?”

“You were staring, and you looked sad,” Fatou observed.

Book Description:

Ever since her former roommates deserted her, Meg has had to share an apartment with a lazy, obnoxious ass. 

He won’t pick up after himself, and he refuses to get a good job. Plus, he doesn’t always wear enough clothes—which is really a problem, because he’s hot.

Maybe he’s occasionally funny. And every now and then he can be sweet. 

But mostly he’s just annoying. It doesn’t matter how much he’s starting to flirt with her—Meg is going to resist. 

She’s way too smart to fall for a guy who never takes anything seriously.

But then everything changes in only one night...

Excerpt:

She started to dig into her purse for her keys, but she looked up to check out his expression. He looked uncharacteristically quiet. And his tone was uncharacteristically gentle as he asked, “You okay?”

“Of course,” she replied, trying to sound natural and peppy. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

“I don’t know. You tell me.”

“I’ve got nothing to tell you,” she said with a frown, feeling a familiar impatience return, since he was acting like he knew something of what she was feeling. “I’m happy for them. It’s great news.”

“Of course, it is. But that doesn’t mean happy is all you feel at hearing the news.”
