Grant All of my demons are coming to head. I thought Ari could push them back. I thought I could conquer my vices with her at my side.

I thought wrong.

Aribel Fear is my new constant. I thought I could conceal it, contain it, control it. I thought that now that I had Grant the worst was over.

I thought wrong.

But if we’re going to survive, wherever you go…take me with you.

Grant practically bounded across the room until he was directly in front of me. Then, his hands were cupping my cheeks so tenderly that it was as if he thought I might break in half. Without a word, his mouth dropped down on mine, and the kiss was as light as a feather. It was a question, a soft and delicate question, one he had never asked before—permission. When I didn’t pull away from him, he received his answer. The kiss deepened, and he coaxed all the anger out of me. He drew it out as if sucking venom from an open wound. He kissed me so heatedly and lovingly that not even a drop remained. All that was left was a bottomless well of emotions of how much I loved and missed him. When I came back into the moment, I heard the catcalls and yells from the people around us. It was then I remembered that we were in a crowded room, surrounded by people, and Grant had kissed the breath out of me. I flushed from head to toe at the attention, but he wouldn’t let me pull away. “I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I shouldn’t have blown up on you. I shouldn’t have done anything. You’re all that matters.” I stared up at him in confusion. “Who are you, and what have you done with Grant McDermott?” He laughed that beautiful glorious laugh, and a smile lit up his whole face. It was that damn smile that had won me over in the first place. “Run away with me,” he murmured. “What?” “Run away with me. Let’s get out of here.” “Where are we going?” “Anywhere. Everywhere.”

Synopsis

With Congressman Brady Maxwell up for reelection and journalist Liz Dougherty about to graduate into a promising career, the ambitious couple’s future is brighter than ever. They share a passion for their work…and for each other. But when Brady holds a press conference to officially introduce Liz as his girlfriend, reporters hungry for a scandal bombard her. Now, her every move is under a vicious magnifying glass, and her life feels like it’s falling apart.

On the road to reelection, the passionate bond between the congressman and the journalist gets tested at every stop. Threatened by shameless media sensationalism and jealous exes, Brady and Liz now have to learn to trust each other despite what they read in the papers.

In the finale to USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde’s sexy Record trilogy, Liz and Brady may be setting off fireworks along the campaign trail, but can their love transcend politics as usual?
 
Excerpt:

Brady. He was here. He had come to pick her up. A million emotions hit her all at once. Her heart ached as it pounded fiercely in her chest. She had missed him so much. The weeks had stretched interminably long.

She caught his eyes and her stomach flopped.

Without a thought for Victoria, Daniel, or her discarded bags, she dashed across the airport. She felt she was in a movie as she rushed toward the man she loved. When she reached him, she threw herself into his arms. Her body thudded against his chest and she pressed her face into his shoulder. His arms pulled her flush against him and he hoisted her up so that her feet tucked up behind her. He smelled unbelievably masculine and delicious. The strength in the embrace grounded her, and everything felt right in the world.

“Hey baby,” Brady whispered in her ear.

Synopsis

Grant

Manwhore. Adrenaline junkie. Lead singer of ContraBand. What you see is what you get. I make no apologies for my actions, and by now no one expects any from me. I live my life the way I want and as long as it pushes the demons back, then I'm solid. I've never needed a chick for more than a good lay. Why would I need just one when I can have a different one every night? Until she walks into my world.

Aribel

Mouthy. Perfectionist. Princeton student. Chemistry major. Yes, that pretty much describes me. Oh, and virgin. But I'm only nineteen, and have more important things to concern myself with. What really matters is finishing my degree and getting a good job. I’ve worked hard for what I want, and do what’s expected of me. I don’t need anyone to get in my way.Until he opens up my world. But if I give you my world, whatever you do…don’t TAKE ME for granted.

Excerpt

“So, after your phone died earlier today, you didn’t call me back.” Aribel rolled her eyes and picked up her pace, carrying us out across an open field. 

“Do you need my number for next time?” She humphed and kept walking. Jesus, what is with this chick? “You don’t take jokes very well, do you?” 

“Excuse me, but did I lose a glass slipper or something?” she asked. 

“What?” “A glass slipper. Do I look like Cinderella to you? Are you some kind of prince trying to sweep me off my feet? What is this whole charade, Grant?” 

“No charade, babe. I just wanted to see you and take you out.” 

“Uh-huh. Where exactly are you taking me?” I smirked at her. 

“Dinner.” My bed.

“Why do I have a feeling that we’re not talking about eating the same thing?” I chuckled to myself. She had me there. 

“Oh, come on. I didn’t even say that.” Though, if I had it my way, I’d be doing more than that tonight. 

“You didn’t have to,” she called over her shoulder. I caught up to her again and started walking backward in front of her. I was probably making a spectacle of myself, but I didn’t really care. She didn’t even seem to notice that people were staring at us. 

“Look, I really do want to take you out. I’m not one to deny myself the things I want, but I was talking about eating food with you.” 

“No. And anyway, how did you know to find me? Are you stalking me or something now? Should I invest in a rape whistle?” 

“No, but you can blow my whistle, baby.” 

“Oh, dear Lord.”--

Off the Record - Release Day!

Synopsis:

Liz Dougherty has no idea that a single question is about to change her life.

Her first big reporting assignment for her North Carolina college newspaper has her covering a state senator’s impromptu press conference. Brady Maxwell may have everything it takes to be a politician—a winning pedigree, devastating good looks, a body made to wear suits—but his politics rub Liz the wrong way. When Liz’s hard-hitting question catches the upstart senator off-guard, it impresses Hayden Lane, Liz’s editor who feels she’s headed for a promising career as a reporter.

But Liz is also headed into a secret romance with Brady that could destroy both their ambitions. Though he’s a bachelor, potential voters might frown on Brady cozying up to a reporter. And Liz isn’t sure sneaking around is enough for her—especially when things between her and Hayden might be less platonic than she thought.

K.A. Linde’s Record series begins with a sleek, sexy, and smart venture into a high-stakes political campaign and an even higher-stakes affair that, in the end, will leave you wanting more with one of Linde’s gripping cliffhangers.

Excerpt

“Do you enjoy flying?” he asked abruptly.

“What?”

She was taken off guard. Did he want to take her flying? That was ludicrous.

“Flying, like in airplanes,” he added.

“I don’t understand.”

“I never did. My ears popped, my parents argued, I never got a window seat, the lines were too long, and it always happened when I wanted to stay home.”

Why was he telling her this? He didn’t even know her name.

“I’d have panic attacks before boarding,” he informed her. “Sometimes my parents would give me medicine to knock me out so I wouldn’t hyperventilate.”

“I’m sorry,” she said, not sure how to respond.

“I grew out of it, of course. I had to, especially if I wanted to be a politician like my father, but I never forgot that feeling. My fingers and toes would get warm and tingle. I’d find it hard to swallow. My stomach would be racked with nerves. I couldn’t focus properly on what was at hand. I couldn’t keep my breathing even, and I also couldn’t seem to suck in enough air. It was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life.”

“I’ve hyperventilated before,” she admitted—she wasn’t sure why. “My sister made me run a couple miles to the store with her in the middle of the summer in Tampa, but I’m not a runner. I’ve never felt so terrible.”

His eyes glistened as they stared into hers. “Then you know what I mean?” He waited until she nodded. “Well, I’ve never associated that feeling with anything good in my entire life . . . until you asked me that question today.”

Excerpt 2:

"You’ll have to forgive me," Brady said. "I’m not letting you out of my sight.”

“I think I can manage to forgive you,” Liz whispered. If she could be more shocked than she already was, she didn’t think it was possible. He was so forward . . . so different from all the other guys she was used to. She was sure that was part of his charm, but how could she resist it?

It worried her a bit—a very little bit at the moment—that she didn’t even want to resist him. She had never had the impulsive demeanor of Victoria or the party-girl side of her college friends. Liz’s world was rooted in reality, and she had always liked it that way. But she was starting to think that was only because she had never met anyone quite like Brady Maxwell.

And he was staring at her with an unrivaled intensity. She had the odd feeling that Brady Maxwell was seducing her. He had said that he wanted her at the club, but this . . . this was entirely different. This was him at his finest, and she wasn’t just happily falling victim to his charming words, gentle touches, piercing eyes, and knowing smiles; she wanted this.

“Liz?” he asked discreetly, brushing his hand up her arm, sending shivers up her spine.

“Yes?” Her eyes fluttered closed at the electricity flowing through her body at his touch. They opened back up to stare into his eyes, and she felt her walls crumbling.

“We should go,” he said, lust evident in his voice.

Even knowing it could be a bad idea, she nodded. “Couldn’t agree more.”

Avoiding Temptation - review

The final installment of the Avoiding Series was just exactly how I wanted it to end. Yes, sue me. I've been Team Jack from the very beginning! I know, I know, he's a liar, he's a cheater, he married that biotch Bekah but it was always about Lexi and always will be.

There was so much happening in this book and so much that I loved. I loved that it was told from the present to the past. Ramsey's proposal was so romantic and so sweet. It actually made me feel a little bad for him but like I said, I'm Team Jack all the way! There is just something about Ramsey that rubs me the wrong way though I get why Lexi fell in love with him and I don't know one girl that would kick him out of bed. I also absolutely LOVED that Kellen Kyle made an appearance!!! Much love for the D-Bags from this girl! 

All in all, this series was a roller coaster from the beginning. Buckle up for this ride, you'll be glad you did!

Sexy Sunday -12/2

Since we've already done Jack Howard, let's give this sexy Sunday to Ramsey Bridges from Avoiding Commitment and Avoiding Responsibility by K.A. Linde. Not a bad vision of Ramsey!

Avoiding Responsibility - review

For those of you who had to wait for this one, I bet you are thinking it was so worth it! I waited until now to write the review because I didn't want to give anything away. If you haven't read Avoiding Commitment, you can find my review here but I suggest you read it now!

Lexi is trying to move on with her life when she receives a phone call from Ramsey inviting her to Jack & Bekah's wedding. The wedding that Lexi has been trying to avoid at all costs. Lets just say that all of the angst and drama are back and the emotional roller coaster is one heck of a ride!

I absolutely loved the music lyrics at the beginning of each chapter, how it went from past to present tense and the ending was awesome! I am really hoping that K.A. Linde decides to write a third book however, I don't know if my heart can take it. Not saying I wouldn't read it though!

Avoiding Commitment - review

Oh K.A. Linde!!!! How you torment me!!! (In a good way, of course!) Even writing this review gets me all torn up again!

Jack and Lexi have never had a normal relationship. You could say that it was tainted from the beginning. Everything changes one night when Jack calls Lexi after 2 years and asks her to talk to his new girlfriend, soon to be fiance, Bekah and convince her that he's now ready to be in a committed relationship. Ugh, really?! Jack! 

Lexi relives her relationship with Jack and the book alternates between past and present day. Avoiding Commitment is super angsty!! Like you wanna punch someone in the face, break your kindle in half, angsty! Every girl has had a "Jack" in her life....I love you, Jack and I hate you, Jack! Bekah, you manipulative bitch! I hate you more! And Ramsey, well, I'm still undecided.  And I can't wait for more! 

(Luckily I've already read Avoiding Responsibility and I didn't have to wait. Review is coming shortly.) If you haven't read it yet, it'll be out December 1st!
