My Picks of the Week! (4th February 2014)

Hello, Muses!

Hello, February! As we get prepared for the Winter Olympics starting this Friday and the upcoming Oscar Awards in March, we can celebrate a little early with some great releases. In adult books, the third and final book in Glen Duncan's werewolf  series called By Blood We Live hits bookshelves. If you are looking for erotic romance, you may want to check out the first book in Maya Bank's new Surrender series called Letting Go. If you are a fan of Lora Leigh, celebrate the 29th novel in her Breeds series with her new book Rule Breaker coming out in hardcover.

In Young Adult, I highly recommend Alienated by Melissa Landers which I am currently reading. This also seems to be the week for third books in series, such as Cress (Lunar Chronicles, #3) by: Marissa Meyers and Ignite Me (Shatter Me, #3) by: Tahereh Mafi.

In movies, there is a little bit for everyone. Looking for some romance? Check out About Time starring Domhnall Gleeson, Bill Nighy and Rachel McAdams. Looking for a good drama with amazing acting? I highly recommend Dallas Buyers Club starring Academy Award nominees Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. Looking for an adrenaline rush?  Then Escape Plan starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone might be up your speed.

Whatever you are in the mood for, there is definitely plenty to choose from this week!

Enjoy!

A Million Guilty Pleasures (Million Dollar Duet, #2)
by: C.L. Parker

Two million dollars secured Noah Crawford the most enticing woman he has ever known. Initiating Delaine Talbot into a sensuous world of pleasure took them both to the brink—again and again. But when Noah discovers why the beautiful innocent sold her body to the highest bidder, he’s faced with the hardest thing he ever had to do: Set her free. 

Lanie can’t believe Noah would let her go. Doesn’t he know they share a bond deeper than sex—a connection too powerful to sever? Not even a treacherous enemy out to destroy Noah or the dark secret haunting the multibillionaire can keep them apart. But first Lanie has to show him that he belongs to her, even if it means risking everything for a love that can never be bought or sold.

And as Erin delves further into the crimes, chilling information about her own past is revealed.

Be With Me (Wait for You, #2)
by: J. Lynn

Teresa Hamilton is having a rough year—she’s in love with her big brother’s best friend, but he hasn’t spoken to her since they shared a truly amazing, mind-blowing, change-your-life kiss. She got out of a terrible relationship. And now an injury is threatening to end her dance career for good. It’s time for Plan B – college. And maybe a chance to convince Jase that what they have together is real.

Jase Winstead has a huge secret that he’s not telling anyone. Especially not his best friend’s incredibly beautiful sister. Even though he and Teresa shared the hottest kiss of his life, he knows that his responsibilities must take priority. He certainly doesn’t have time for a relationship. But it doesn’t help that all he can think about kissing the one girl who could ruin everything for him.

As they’re thrown together more and more, Jase and Tess can’t keep denying their feelings for each other. But a familiar danger looms and tragedy strikes. As the campus recovers, the star-crossed couple must decide what they’re willing to risk to be together, and what they’re willing to lose if they’re not…
