Waiting on Wednesday (44)

Talon (Talon #1) by Julie Kagawa

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Ahhhh, I love this cover! Julie Kagawa is an amazing writer. I first read her Iron Fey series and I honestly could not get enough of it. I love reading books about dragons so I am extremely excited for this one. 

Expected Publication Date: October 28, 2014

Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads)

Long ago, dragons were hunted to near extinction by the Order of St. George, a legendary society of dragon slayers. Hiding in human form and growing their numbers in secret, the dragons of Talon have become strong and cunning, and they're positioned to take over the world with humans none the wiser.

Ember and Dante Hill are the only sister and brother known to dragonkind. Trained to infiltrate society, Ember wants to live the teen experience and enjoy a summer of freedom before taking her destined place in Talon. But destiny is a matter of perspective, and a rogue dragon will soon challenge everything Ember has been taught. As Ember struggles to accept her future, she and her brother are hunted by the Order of St. George.

Soldier Garret Xavier Sebastian has a mission to seek and destroy all dragons, and Talon's newest recruits in particular. But he cannot kill unless he is certain he has found his prey: and nothing is certain about Ember Hill. Faced with Ember's bravery, confidence and all-too-human desires, Garret begins to question everything that the Order has ingrained in him: and what he might be willing to give up to find the truth about dragons.

Cover Reveal: Goodbye To You by A.J. Matthews

By A.J. Matthews

New Adult Romance

Release July 1, 2014

Published by Swoon Romance

Europe? Nope. Mexico? Nope. Key West?

Not me. This summer, I’m playing nursemaid to my sister. Yeah, I know. Relatively good looking twenty-two-year-olds don’t spend the summer bedside in the cancer ward but, that’s the plan. Until my sister threatens me with bodily harm unless I get on the plane.

That’s when I met him. He likes me. Really likes me. But more than that, he loves my boobs — like can’t get enough. I have no idea how to tell him that they’ll be gone soon. Courtesy of a preventative double mastectomy. Yep. That’s what testing positive for the breast cancer gene mutation will do to a girl.

But don’t feel sorry for me. I’m enjoying him, holding on until the last possible minute, while I muster up the strength to tell him, and watch him walk away.

A LITTLE TOO HOT:

Samantha West has been in love with Trent Sorenson forever. Problem is, he’s her best friend Lexie Bank’s older stepbrother, and he’s never seen her as anything but his sister’s friend. But in A LITTLE TOO FAR (book 1 in the A LITTLE TOO series) that all changes and she finally gets her man. What she doesn’t know is that Trent is secretly in love with Lexie, so things don’t turn out quite like Sam hopes. Not only does she loose her boyfriend, but also her best friend and it stings that they chose each other over her.   

  Amber Skye Noyes is totally Sam.

Her life takes a downward spiral and in A LITTLE TOO HOT she ends up thrown out of college and out of her parent’s house. Desperate for a job, she lets her goofball rocker best friend, Jonathan, talk her into a gig dancing at Benny’s Gentleman’s Club. 

Picture Jonathan as Gaspard Ulliel with a few facial piercings and ink up his neck.

 There are rules to dancing at Benny’s: No touching, keep your clothes on at all times, and don’t get closer than three feet. Unfortunately for Sam, her first private client makes her want to break every single one of them.   Harrison Yates is scorching hot, but he's got a past that involves being left at the altar not too long ago.

Mike Vogel is my Harrison

  Sam is determined to make Harrison forget about his ex, and she consults a fellow dancer at Benny’s for ideas. Izzy knows ways around the rules, and she’s all to willing to help Sam, and they become besties.  

I saw this picture of Beyonce Knowles and screamed, “That’s Izzy!”

 But when Sam makes her move on Harrison, it flings her life into a spiral of chaos she never saw coming. Because Harrison Yates isn't who he seems to be. And his secret will probably get her killed. Look for all your favorite characters from the entire A LITTLE TOO series in a pivotal scene near the end of A LITTLE TOO HOT!     ---------------------
