CELEBRATION GIVEAWAY! SLAMMED & POINT OF RETREAT by COLLEEN HOOVER

I have such an awesome post and announcement for you today! Slammed and Point of Retreat, by Colleen Hoover, have been optioned for film!! Isn't that the best news? To celebrate, the price of both books is now at $3.99, AND Colleen is giving one lucky winner signed copies of Slammed and Point of Retreat.


Slammed (Slammed, #1)Falling in love can feel like poetry. Or it can feel like a slam to the heart.

Colleen Hoover’s romantic, emotion-packed debut novel unforgettably captures all the magic and confusion of first love, as two young people forge an unlikely bond before discovering that fate has other plans for them.



Following the unexpected death of her father, eighteen-year-old Layken becomes the rock for both her mother and younger brother. She appears resilient and tenacious, but inside, she's losing hope. Then she meets her new neighbor Will, a handsome twenty-one-year-old whose mere presence leaves her flustered and whose passion for poetry slams thrills her.



Not long after a heart-stopping first date during which each recognizes something profound and familiar in the other, they are slammed to the core when a shocking discovery brings their new relationship to a sudden halt. Daily interactions become impossibly painful as they struggle to find a balance between the feelings that pull them together and the forces that tear them apart. Only through the poetry they share are they able to speak the truth that is in their hearts and imagine a future where love is cause for celebration, not regret.
 
 
Point of Retreat (Slammed #2)Hardships and heartache brought them together…now it will tear them apart.

Layken and Will have proved their love can get them through anything; until someone from Will’s past re-emerges, leaving Layken questioning the very foundation on which their relationship was built. Will is forced to face the ultimate challenge…how to prove his love for a girl who refuses to stop ‘carving pumpkins.’




Once again, I would like to say just how happy I am for Colleen. It's a fantastic feeling to see great things happen to great people.





GIVEAWAY
You peeps are SO LUCKY! I'm jealous. Also, GOOD LUCK!
