Waiting on Wednesday (60)

White Hot (Hidden Legacy #2) by Ilona Andrews

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

This book was originally releases this month but it got pushed back  to 2016 and I am so bummed about it. I listened to the first book, Burn for Me, in audiobook version which was great. The beginning was a little slow but after that a lot happened. Certain parts I replayed over and over again. Overall I really enjoyed Burn for Me and I am really excited to see where the story goes.

Expected Publication Date: June 2016

Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads)
It is listed on the website as late spring/early summer 2016

Nevada Baylor has a unique and secret skill—she knows when people are lying—and she's used that magic (along with plain, hard work) to keep her colorful and close-knit family's detective agency afloat. But her new case pits her against the shadowy forces that almost destroyed the city of Houston once before, bringing Nevada back into contact with Connor "Mad" Rogan.

Rogan is a billionaire Prime—the highest rank of magic user—and as unreadable as ever, despite Nevada's "talent." But there's no hiding the sparks between them. Now that the stakes are even higher, both professionally and personally, and their foes are unimaginably powerful, Rogan and Nevada will find that nothing burns like ice . . .

A Moment of Weakness Synopsis:
 Until her new job starts in September, buttoned-up elementary school teacher Laurel Harris is at loose ends and in need of cash. Fortunately her best friend's older brother is a single dad and desperately needs a nanny. Or so she’s told. She doesn’t anticipate him being such a menacing, muscled, and undeniably gorgeous man…or that he has zero interest in hiring a nanny. Micah Crane will do right by his young daughter, no matter the cost. And right now, that cost is juggling parenthood with long hours at his bar and working as an enforcer for a notorious crime boss. He doesn’t need another complication in his life, but the sweet, frustratingly opinionated little blonde hell-bent on caring for his daughter stirs his blood like no woman ever has. All it takes is a moment of weakness to ignite the lust blazing between them. A moment that will unravel their self-control and unleash all of Micah’s darkest secrets...

Exclusive Excerpt: Laurel opened her mouth, but before she could get anything out, Micah said, “How about I show you where you’ll be sleeping,” and walked out of the kitchen, gesturing for her to follow. Silently, she trailed him, her suitcase bumping along the carpeted hallway. With each step, she catalogued what she knew of him so far. Right foot. Raising six-year-old alone. Left foot. Has taken some precautions in keeping Shaelynn safe, but might need some help with that. Right foot. His backside is really, really nice to look at. Left foot. I wonder if those muscles under his back pockets feel as hard as they look— “It’s only a two-bedroom apartment,” he said, suddenly coming to a stop. The movement was too fast, and by the time her brain caught up, she was already slamming into the back of him. Right against the butt she’d been staring at. Oh my god. He twirled fast and clamped his huge hand around the top of her arm to steady her, those brown eyes ticking from her eyes to her forehead to her ears, mouth, over her shoulder, then back to her eyes. The force of his stare triggered a nervous giggle from her lips. “I’m so sorry,” she said, forcing her gaze to stay with his even though the intensity was making her a little dizzy. “I didn’t expect you to stop right there.” “We’re at the end of the hallway,” he said, unamused. Right. But… She pointed to where the carpet dead ended. “I couldn’t see because of your…” Butt. Not a chance she’d admit that. Your entire ginormous body blocking my view. Yeah, not that either. “Because of…um, you,” she said, swallowing down what she hoped was all of her embarrassment. 

Praise for A MOMENT OF WEAKNESS: “...one of the hottest first kiss scenes I have ever read.” -Escape With a Book review blog “I loved the way this book was written. At times, it was almost like poetry. Brooklyn Skye knocked it out the park with this one.” -Wicked Good Reads “Skye's creation was absolutely superb… a perfect blend of romance and eroticism with a dash of suspense thrown in to keep the pace running smoothly.” –Lunaland Books “This book is a refreshing change from the run of the mill rich alpha guy falls for the beautiful girl that walks into his life and uncovers all his secrets. Micah is not rich. He is raising his six year old in a small two bedroom apartment. Trying to be a better parent than his dad was to him.” -Mollien for Alpha Book Club

Stacking the Shelves (51)


Welcome to this week's Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga`s Reviews. It features books I bought or received for review each week. It is about adding books to my book shelf whether it by physical, virtual or audio. Thanks for stopping by!

Over the past several weeks I have been purchasing audiobooks from Audible. Here are those purchases:





Item bought from Amazon:

Ride Steady (Chaos #3) by Kristen Ashley

I recently finished Ride Steady which was great. My review will be up in the next 2 weeks as I am way behind in reviews. I have also listened to Every Last Breath and Crown of Midnight which were great as well. I am currently listening to Heir of Fire which so far I am liking more than Crown of Midnight. 
I have been going through some things (reason for my lack of blogging) but I will be posting on a more consistent basis from now on :)

Also if you have not done so already, you can enter my giveaway for Spooktacular Giveaway Hop.
