Waiting on Wednesday (20)

Wild Cards by Simone Elkeles

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

Expected Publication Date: September 24, 2013

Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads)
After getting kicked out of boarding school, bad boy Derek Fitzpatrick has no choice but to live with his ditzy stepmother while his military dad is deployed. Things quickly go from bad to worse when he finds out she plans to move them back to her childhood home in Illinois. Derek’s counting the days before he can be on his own, and the last thing he needs is to get involved with someone else’s family drama.

Ashtyn Parker knows one thing for certain--people you care about leave without a backward glance. A football scholarship would finally give her the chance to leave. So she pours everything into winning a state championship, until her boyfriend and star quarterback betrays them all by joining their rival team. Ashtyn needs a new game plan, but it requires trusting Derek—someone she barely knows, someone born to break the rules. Is she willing to put her heart on the line to try and win it all?


Hope to hear from you!

Cover Reveal: Change of Heart Part 2 by Scarlett Edwards

Title: Change of Heart Part 2 
Author: Scarlett Edwards
Release Date: July 25, 2013


BOOK DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------------

If you told me two weeks ago that I would fall in love with my would-be kidnapper, I would have laughed in your face.

Yet here I am today. Madly, deeply, and hopelessly in love. With Richard Blackthorne. With the man who drugged me and left me for myself... but with the same man who came back for me later.

Nobody in my life has ever given a shit. I've always been on my own—before Rich.

Now, things are different. Feelings I'd never have thought possible are rushing through me. With Rich, I feel... alive. Alive, and treasured.


Yet doubts still poison my thoughts. Can a relationship that began with a lie lead to true happiness? How will Rich and I escape our pursuers? Will Min ever be free?

As I open my heart to the man I love, our devotion to each other will be tested. In this tumultuous world, friends become enemies and enemies friends. Every choice I make leads to consequences for those around me. The secrets Rich holds spread far deeper than he ever let on. When cracks begin to show in our relationship, I'm faced with the most important question of all: Can Rich and I ever find the peace I so dearly crave?
--
Change of Heart, Part 2 concludes Rich and Penny's story. Will they get the happily-ever-after they deserve? There's only one way to find out...

Stacking the Shelves (14)


Welcome to this week's Stacking the Shelves by Tynga`s Reviews. It is about adding books to my shelves I received during the past week whether it is physical or virtual.

Bought from Amazon:



Lick by Kylie Scott
Pulse (Collide #2) by Gail McHugh

Bought from Chapters Indigo (Hardcopy):




Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood
Pivot Point by Kasie West

I haven't bought a hard copy book in awhile so I decided to get one. I walked into Chapters Indigo and walked out with 3 books instead of one, lol. When I go to a book store, I am like a kid in the candy store, I want all of them. I didn't have much time, if I had more time in the store I probably would have walked out with more, haha. These are books I have been meaning to get because I have heard all good things about them. Excited to start them!

Received for Review/Blog Tour:





Fixed On You by Laurelin Paige
Imperfectly Perfect by A. E. Woodward
No Reverse by Marion Croslydon
The Corollaria by Courtney Lyn Batten

I have been impatiently waiting to get my hands on both Fixed On You and No Reverse. They both look like awesome books, so when I saw they are a part of a blog tour I jumped at the chance to be a part of it.

Needless to say I am very happy with all the book I received. I am eager to start them, schedule permitting. I hope everyone else had a great week in books as well.
