i think because i've been in the same position that the main characters of seven days of you  are in, where you are moving across continents and countries and cultures leaving your friends and things you have come to love behind, it was easy to love this book. i really understood sophia. the parts of your identity that are wrapped up in where you live and where you come from form the foundation of how you self-identify. sophia has lived in japan most of her life. she's got an american mother and a french father and has spent time in those countries too. but japan is what she knows, even though she is not ethnically japanese. when i was in college i took this nineteenth-century european history class where we had one unit focused on the idea of nationalism and what establishes a nation's identity. is it language? is it geographic? is it cultural? and the reality is that it's complicated. it's a mix of all three. for sophia, throughout th...

i'm such a sucker for a sports romance, but hard stick  is more than that. it's got a surprising suspense/thriller element to it given the lead character's circumstances. kristin robinson has to escape a bad ex-boyfriend. she knows she's in a bad situation but there's no way to escape. the only way is to fake her death and take on a new identity.  when she meets kellan carter she thinks he's just another playboy athlete. but the more she gets to know him, the more she realizes that first impressions aren't always accurate. but trusting someone new is hard. and even though she hopes her past is dead and buried, she can't stop looking over her shoulder.  the thing is her past and kellan's present aren't all that far from each other. given his position as a public figure and who his family is, there's simply no way to plan for the kind of danger she is in. but the relationship that they have built, the strong bonds and connect...

Talk British to Me , an all-new sexy standalone romance from Robin Bielman will publish on June 19th ! As the Dating Guy on L.A.’s top morning show, I give the single guy’s perspective on dating, love, and sex—and I give great advice. Everyone’s hooking up…well, except for me. Sure, I can get any woman I want, but I’ve got a “no relationship” clause in my contract and the only woman I want has “relationship” written all over her. Probably stamped on her ass, too. And wouldn’t I like to confirm that. Unfortunately, she wants nothing to do with me. At all. Something about the next Ice Age might have even come up in her rebuttal. Adorable. Because she’s determined to ignore what one simple kiss proved: she wants me as badly as I want her. Everything in me is screaming to go after her, but I’ve got a secret that I’m fairly certain will end up with her roasting my nuts over an open fire. So, job on the line? Check. Nuts on the line? Check. Can’t get her out of my head? Nail…mee...

lauren helm's debut, level me up , has got a lot of things to like. the characters are great, i loved dex and his gaming buddies, as well as morgan, gia and ruby. the group scenes were some of the best parts of the book, even though i also really enjoyed morgan and dex together. the problems is that these characters spend so much time in their heads analyzing and describing everything. it's excruciating at times. morgan gives us her entire detailed dating history and philosophy in one of the early chapters, and while this helps us understand her hang ups, this info dump wasn't the best way of getting this information to us. this isn't a terribly long book, but because there was so much detailed thinking and so little action at times it felt interminable. i would have probably cut about 25% of the inner thoughts and comic con descriptions and added in more sex. i mean, it was fine, i don't mind when we stay entirely out of the bedroom. i just think that a littl...
