Publisher: Atria Publication Date: 10/1/13
When the world ends, can love survive?
For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone makes fighting for tomorrow an everyday battle. Nathan has a wife, but can’t remember what it’s like to be in love; only his young daughter Zoe makes coming home worthwhile. Miranda’s biggest concern is whether her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals.
When reports of a widespread, deadly “outbreak” begin to surface, these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly their fates are intertwined. Recognizing they can’t outrun the danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. Emotions run high while old and new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy—an enemy who no longer remembers what it’s like to be human.
Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic world, love somehow finds a way to survive. But what happens when the one you’d die for becomes the one who could destroy you?
Red Hill grabs you from page one and doesn’t let go until its stunning conclusion. This is #1 New York Times bestselling author Jamie McGuire at her unforgettable best.
"Hauntingly evocative...a true testament to Jamie McGuire's skill as a storyteller."
~Tracy Garvis Graves, New York Times bestselling author of On the Island
Creepy, right? And also gorgeous. Be sure to put Red Hill on your to-read list.

*New Adult Romance*
Now that Willow Avery is out of rehab, she's got one chance left to prove herself before she’s officially on every producer’s shit list. At least, that's what her parents and agent are claiming. She doesn't really give a damn if she never makes another movie or not—she just wants to get on with her life, get back to her friends, and find her next escape. But Willow is broke. And whether she likes it or not, acting is the only job she knows how to do.
When she accepts the lead in a beach drama, Willow finds herself in Hawaii. And in Hawaii, she finds Cooper, the gorgeous surfer hired to train her for her new role. With the bluest eyes she’s ever seen and the sexiest Australian accent she’s ever heard, Cooper’s different from the men she’s used to. He doesn’t want to use her. And he refuses to let her fail. But when an old friend re-enters Willow’s life—a friend whose toxicity she’s been drawn to time and time before and whose presence brings about the painful memories she's tried so hard to suppress—Willow will have to choose between the girl she was and the person she’s becoming. The lifestyle that helps her forget the pain and the guy she’s falling hard for.
Series: Devoured #0.5
Before Sienna was devoured, before Lucas was consumed, they were all over each other . . .
Lucas Wolfe is used to getting what he wants—from everyone but one person, that is—so when he meets the wardrobe assistant hired to work his band’s newest video, he’s got to have her. From the moment Sienna first obediently whispers “Yes, Mr. Wolfe”, he knows she’s perfect for him.
Three days.
And he’ll have her stripped down and bound to his bed.
Set two years before the events of DEVOURED, ALL OVER YOU is the story of Sienna and Lucas’s first encounter.
Series: Devoured #1
Sienna Jensen had no plans to return home when she graduated college last spring—after all, her dreams lie in California. But when she discovers her grandmother’s Nashville home has been foreclosed, and the new owner has started the eviction process, Sienna has no other choice but go back to Music City. And she comes face to face with the flawed, gorgeous man she never thought she’d see again. The man who now holds the deed to her grandma’s estate.
When millionaire rock star Lucas Wolfe finds the outspoken redhead glaring at him from across a courtroom, he’s both infuriated and intrigued. He still can't get the night Sienna almost spent with him out of his mind, and the chemistry between them is as undeniable as it was two years ago. He craves Sienna more than ever. And just like everything Lucas hungers for, he’s determined to have her.
Now, Lucas will do whatever it takes to lure Sienna into his bed, even if that means making a deal with her: ten days with him, playing by his rules, and he’ll hand over the deed to her grandmother’s home. Though she agrees to the arrangement, Sienna is conflicted. Because of her duty to her family. Because of promises she’s made to herself and a past that still haunts her. And as Lucas’s game of seduction continues, and Sienna is introduced to his dark, erotic world and even darker background, she realizes that at any moment, she could be devoured.
*This novel contains adult situations and content*
And, there are trailers for the books, too!
Once again, congratulations to Emily on her success!!
The Vincent Boys is a seductive story of attraction and betrayal. This November, the Vincent boys are helping us remember the guys who have both stolen and broken our hearts.
The Vincent Boys is all about that sexy bad boy, Beau Vincent. I searched high and low to find the perfect photo of my ideal Beau. I think I did a pretty great job.
For those of you who've read The Vincent Boys, I'm sure you know which scene this photo makes me think of.
Beau is okay with being the town's bad boy. He is content letting Sawyer be the "Good Vincent Boy", the boy with money, stable home, the quarterback. The one thing Sawyer has that he can't let go of is Ash.
I love Beau Vincent because he represents taking chances on love. Beau recognizes the wild, sweet spirit that he knows Ash still has, hidden deep down. He is determined to help Ash rediscover that side of herself. With Beau, Ash can truly be herself again.
"Good isn't my thing but Sawyer's important to me. Please remember I've got my limits and you studying my mouth like you want a taste is pushing me dangerously close to the edge of those limits." ~Beau Vincent
Get seduced by a sizzling account of attraction and betrayal in this previously self-published phenomenon. There was something wicked about Beau that drew me to him. What was wrong with me? Why did I want to sin so badly?
Ashton is getting tired of being good, of impressing her parents and playing ideal girlfriend to Sawyer Vincent. Sawyer is perfect, a regular Prince Charming, but when he leaves town for the summer, it’s his cousin Beau who catches Ashton’s eye. Beau is the sexiest guy she’s ever seen, and even though he’s dangerous, Ashton is drawn to him.
Beau loves his cousin like a brother, so the last thing he wants to do is make a move on Sawyer’s girl. Ashton is off-limits, absolutely. That’s why he does his best to keep his distance, even though he’s been in love with her forever. When Ashton wants to rekindle their childhood friendship in Sawyer’s absence, Beau knows he should say no.
Ashton and Beau don’t want to hurt Sawyer. But the more they try to stay away from each other, the more intense their urges become. It’s getting way too hard to resist....
Hot romance is the cure for heartbreak in this sequel to The Vincent Boys.
Getting a boy to fall head-over-heels in love with you isn’t easy. Especially when he’s been in love with your cousin for as long as you can remember.
Lana has lived her life in her cousin’s shadow. Ashton always made perfect grades, had tons of friends, and looks model-perfect. And she’s always had Sawyer Vincent—the only boy Lana’s ever wanted—wrapped around her finger. But now things are different. Lana has a chance to make Sawyer see her, and she’s taking it. If only he’d get over Ashton—because Lana is sick of second-best.
Sawyer’s heart is broken. He’s lost his best girl to his best friend. And then Lana comes to town. Ashton’s cousin has always been sweet and soft-spoken, but now she’s drop-dead gorgeous as well. Sawyer doesn’t know if Lana can heal his broken heart, but spending time with her might at least make Ashton jealous.
What starts as a carefree fling becomes a lusty game of seduction. Sawyer and Lana may have different motives, but their scintillating hookups are the same kind of steamy. . .
Abbi Glines can be found hanging out with rockstars, taking out her yacht on weekends for a party cruise, sky diving, or surfing in Maui. Okay maybe she needs to keep her imagination focused on her writing only. In the real world, Abbi can be found hauling kids (several who seem to show up that don’t belong to her) to all their social events, hiding under the covers with her MacBook in hopes her husband won’t catch her watching Buffy on Netflix again, and sneaking off to Barnes and Noble to spend hours lost in the yummy goodness of books.
Series: Sea Breeze #4 Genre: New Adult Publisher: Abbi Glines Publication Date: 10/30/12 Format: eARC Source: Received from author for review.
The day Preston Drake figured out that wealthy women paid well for a set of tight abs and a pretty face his life turned around.
The run down rat-infested trailer he had shared with his alcoholic mother and three younger siblings was now only a place he visited to pay the bills and stock the pantry with food.
He no longer worried about his family starving or living without electricity. The money he made entertaining rich older women more than covered his family’s needs and his own. He had it all figured out. Except…
There was this girl.
She was as innocent as he was tainted.
Amanda Hardy wished her knees didn’t get weak when Preston walked into a room. She hated the fact her heart raced when he flashed his smile in her direction. He had a different girl in his bed every night. He was the kind of boy a smart girl ran from. So, why was she coming up with ways to get close to him? Even when it was obvious he wanted to keep her at a distance.
Maybe her heart knew something the world didn’t. Maybe Preston Drake was more than just a pretty face.
"Ohhhh, Preston. Come here you sexy bitch." <----- Those may or may not have been the words that passed my lips when I began reading Just For Now. You see, I've known Preston Drake for quite some time now, but I was oh so ready to know him better. Since we first met him, in Breathe, Preston has been known as a guy who knows his way around the ladies, to put it mildly. He has a fondness for all the beautiful girls, but especially when they have a nice pair of legs attached. That's not usually too big of a problem for Preston, until those legs belong to his best friend's little sister, Amanda Hardy.
Amanda Hardy is sweet girl that I've been looking forward to knowing better. She's always been in the background of the series, Marcus' little sister, Sadie's best friend. But now Manda is all grown up, and she is hopelessly infatuated with Preston Drake. Manda's no fool, though, because she knows how Preston operates, and she's willing to take the risk. She can see through Preston's sleazy ways, to the good guy beneath the swagger. But Preston has bigger issues than she can even imagine, and when the horrible truth comes out, Manda will have to decide if she can look past his tragic life and the decision it forced upon him. Can she accept, forgive, and find love with this beautiful boy?
Preston and Amanda made a gorgeous, super steamy, and fun couple. The attraction between them is fierce, and hot. I loved that Amanda is actually the aggressor in the relationship. I love that she made the moves, refused to give up on what she wanted. And heaven help me, I was happy that the steam is delivered quickly. I have to say, Abbi knows how to write some hot Southern boys. The way they talk and behave is so realistic, intense, and hot. Believe me when I say that I spent a fair amount of the time fanning myself while reading Just For Now.
Just For Now...Tore. Me. Up. If you are a fan of the series, and you read the blurb, you know that Preston and Amanda spell Big Trouble. Preston is the guy who has always been around for a good time. The guy who is always commenting on how hot the chicks are, is referred to by his friends as a man whore. And there's Amanda, the sweet little sister who has had a crush on Preston for years, and is finally ready to act on it. Then you have Marcus, the ultimate big brother who will kill anyone who tries to use or hurt his baby sister. So obviously I was anticipating a ton of drama revolving around the forbidden love. The drama was delivered, and it was gooood.
I love Abbi Glines. I love Abbi Glines' books. I love the characters, the stories, the drama, the tears and the steam. I love that she can take these characters, write these simple yet heartfelt stories for them, and cause me to feel SO MUCH. I can't tell you how many times I have stayed up until the 3am reading her books. Oh wait, yes I can! That would be every single book. Everything about Abbi's books appeals to my heart and makes her one of my very favorite authors and I will forever be hopelessly devoted.
Just For Now is a perfect addition to the Sea Breeze series. Each time Abbi releases a new Sea Breeze book, I think "This is her best yet. She can't possibly top this one." But she does, every time. Just For Now is Just Perfect.
Favorite Quote:
" 'I'll be good. I promise. I'll be the best damn friend you'v ever had.' His voice had lowered to a husky whisper. I shivered from the sexy sound.
'Mmmm, I'm gonna have to work on that. Feeling you shiver. I like it. I'm gonna want to feel it more.'
I swallowed hard and tried to control the emotion in my voice. 'Friends don't get this close, Preston,' I said and started to take a step back when he pulled me tightly against him.
'No, Manda, they don't. But I can't stop from wanting you close. Can we be close friends?' " (eARC, pg 47)
"She was tired of this. I couldn't blame her. I wasn't worth the hassle. I could never be what she wanted. She thought I was like Cage and the right girl could tame me. It wasn't about that. I didn't need to be tamed. I needed to be f*cking saved." (eARC, pg 59)
"I wouldn't cry over her. I wouldn't. I never had her, not really. She didn't know me. She'd never accept the truth about me. It was better this way. Pretending like I could have her in any way was just a form of torture I didn't need. I had my family and my baseball careet to focus on. Amanda Hardy was a distraction that could make me lose it all." (eARC, pg 60)

If you want to find her then check Twitter first because she has a severe addiction to tweeting @abbiglines. Facebook is also somewhere she visits a little too often. She blogs regularly but rarely about anything life changing. She also really enjoys talking about herself in third person.
POSSESSION, by Elana Johnson, gets a new look for the paperback release!
And the new cover for SURRENDER
I have to say, I really like these covers. They are both so much more vibrant and appealing than the original white covers. I'm not usually a fan of cover re-designs, but this one is awesome.
