My Review
I received an Arc Copy of My Beautiful in exchange for an honest review.

I was part of the book tour for Beautiful Chances where we first meet Lily and Kyle. If you haven't already read this book you need to read it asap. check my review out. This book is Amazing.

I was so excited to be part of My Beautiful Tour. I couldn't wait to read more of Lily and Kyle.

So the story starts off where Beautiful Chances finished, Lily had gone with Kyle back to her home town to face her grieve over her parents and sister in the tragic accident that took them. While there she learns some more devastating news about her sister that she didn't know about. Slowly she's facing her fears with the help of Kyle whose always by her side.

Lily and Kyle are so much in love and are learning about each other as they spend more time together. While in her hometown lily receives two bits of news, her Stalker knows where she is and her friend Luke has been in an accident.

There is so much I could tell you about this book, but I wont - the sticky tape has gone back on my lips to avoid saying too much.

Here's a few of my favourite quotes from My Beautiful.

kyle - His tender eyes met mine. " Your stunning Lily. You take my breathe away. Each and every time is like I'm seeing you for the first time, and I can't get enough," he said, shaking his head. "It will never be enough."

Lily - " Show me just how sexy you can be, sexy alpha of mine," I dared. 

Kyle - "Each time I look at you, I think that it will get easier, but it doesn't. Your beauty  takes my breath away. Every. Single. Time. "

Lily - There was no defined line between where I ended and he began. We were intricately bound and woven together. It reminded me of crocheting. Once the two pieces of yarn were twined together, they were never the same if pulled apart.

Kyle - (after Lily has been reading) "I have never seen you so speechless for that long. It must be a really good book, or you need to join a bookaholics-anonymous group" - sound familiar anyone.

I love this series, I love Lily and Kyle story, along with all the other characters. The story flows perfectly. I love the way Kyle is with lily. WOW,  what's there not to love about Kyle Madison, HE'S A HOT, SEXY, ALPHA, SEXY -DID I SAY THAT ALREADY? I COULD SPEND ALL DAY READING ABOUT Kyle Madison. Girls I'm putting Kyle Madison at the top of the Hottest, alpha Book boyfriends list along side Remington Tate.

There is not one thing I didn't like about this book you need to go and buy it now. The Third and final book in the series Beautiful Dreams releases January 2014. Keep watching this space for details.

Alicia Rae is an author to watch out for. Her books are stunning, compelling and truly fantastic. You will not be disappointed reading this series it will leave you thinking about it long after you have read them.

Alicia, thank you again for writing a truly amazing book, I CANT wait for Beautiful Dreams.

This book gets 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments.

Book Blitz - Burn's World by Eve Rabi



 
Title:  Burn's World - A Love Triangle

Author:  Eve Rabi

Book Genre:  Romantic Fiction

Book Publisher:  Indie (Eve Rabi)




 


 



You never forget your first love. Burn couldn't either.

When blonde-haired, blue-eyed Brody McGraw asks her out, Burn can hardly believe her luck. He’s the kind of guy she can only dream of. In record time they start dating, and she is thrilled when she can finally change her Facebook profile status to ‘In a relationship’. 

However, Brody’s mother has huge political plans for her family and she makes it clear they do not include someone with Burn’s color. When Burn suffers a severe bout of self-loathing because of Dawn McGraw’s words, she is forced to make a decision that will break her heart. 

Enter Trojan Catrell, a street thug and an enemy of Brody McGraw’s. He wants what Brody has and he pursues Burn. Since her heart still belongs to Brody, Burn’s not interested in Trojan and the money he throws her way. However, Trojan has no intention of taking no for an answer.
He gets what he wants, but he soon finds that there are three people in their lives, him, Burn and Brody. A messy triangle that lasts for years ensues.  
 
  




“First rule of business – gotta be a win-win situation, know what I’m saying?”
“Eh, well, I don’t have a business and I don’t have much to give you. How much are you wanting?”
“I don’t want your money!” His tone is scoffing.
“Oh, okay.” I scratch my head and look at him. Maybe I should talk about me changing my story about the gun incident? “There’s nothing else I can give you that you’d …”
“I want you.” His voice is almost a whisper.
I look at him with huge eyes. “I’m seventeen!” I blurt.
He shrugs.
I frown. “I …I don’t do shit like that. Ever.”
“Ever?”
I shake my head.
“How come?” His tone tells me he doesn’t believe me.
My turn to shrug. “I’m doing it right. I’m waiting for the right guy before I give it up.”
His eyes turn to slits.
“And I want to be eighteen when it happens.”
“You serious?”
“Yeah.”
“Not even for white boy?”
“Not even for white boy.”
He folds his arms across his chest. “Don’t know if I believe you. I mean, you’re here asking me to save your boy, but you tell me that you haven’t given it up to him as yet, even though you …?”
“Love him? Yes. But I guess he doesn’t want to go to jail either.” I take a deep breath and cover my eyes with my hand. “Can we talk about something else? I’m getting really awkward here.”
He smiles.
“Back to your question – seriously, what do you want from me in return?”
“That.” Again, his voice is soft but serious.
I peer at him in disbelief. He wants my virginity? Is he fucking nuts? “I told you, I’m seventeen. You’ll go to prison and a pretty boy like you will get lots of sex there.”
He smiles.
“I’ll wait till you’re eighteen.” His voice is way too serious for my liking.
I stare at him, flabbergasted by this whole conversation. “That is the most indecent proposal I have ever heard …” I turn away from him then turn back to him. “It’s crazy. It’s absolutely crazy!”
My rant does not faze him. “That and three dinner dates with you.”
My jaw drops.
“Since I have to wait six months for my payment, it will be a ‘meanwhile’ scenario.”
“I …I …” This is so fucked up. “Why me? I mean, there are so many other girls around who are more experienced …”
“Cos you’re white boy’s girl. I want … what he has.”
“Because I’m … “I shake my head in disgust. “That is really fucked up, Dreads. It really is.”
“Maybe. But it is what it is, know what I’m saying?”
Of course I know what he’s saying. “And if I say no?”
He runs his hand slowly over his face, then locks eyes with me. “Then we have no deal.”
I stare at the ground as his words wash over me. “You’ll wait six months?”
“I’ll wait six months.”



WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING.....
“…it's heartbreaking, it's also hilarious. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.”
“keep you on the edge of your seat.”
“It was hard to turn off my Kindle and go to sleep or get anything else done as I just wanted to keep reading.”
“I loved every moment! Bravo, Ms. Rabi!”
“It had everything drama, action, humor, love, sex.....it hit so many levels I'm considering reading another one of her series.”
“One of the best series I have read in a long time.”

My Review

We meet Memory or Mem, waking from unconsciousness after having a real bad nightmare or was it? Memory meets Eloryn who she thinks is a Ghost girl. Memory cant remember anything of who she is, where she from, what her name is-which is why Eloryn gives her the name Memory. Memory is dressed completely different from Eloryn. Eloryn tells Memory if she helps her find Alward, she will help her get her Memory's back.

The girls have a long and difficult journey ahead of them. And have to decide who they can trust? Will after everything they go through, will Memory take the chance of getting her memory back even the bad ones?

I loved this book. I loved everything about it, especially the pictures. I felt like a little girl again reading about fairies and magic. This book was amazing. I loved the cover, the blurb, everything was right about this book. I loved how Eloryn and Memory's relationship changed. It kept me enthralled all the way through.

This book is amazing. Look out soon for my review of the next book in the series Hopes Reign.

This book gets 5/5 stars

Excerpt
 

Garret swims over and stands up right behind me, placing his hands on the edge of the pool around my head. He’s so close I can feel his warm breath on my neck and it sends a shiver down me.

“When are you gonna admit I’m a better swimmer than you?” 

“Never.” I flip around and let go of the pool, quickly grabbing his shoulders so I don’t sink since I’m too short to touch the bottom. But now my legs are dangling awkwardly and I’m having a hard time holding myself up. Garret notices and casually puts his arms around me, pulling our bodies together. 

My heart is beating wildly but I try to keep my breath steady to hide it. “When are you gonna admit I’m a better runner than you?” 

“I’ve already admitted that. I’ve told you that several times. I’ll say it again. You’re a better runner than me. Now do you have anything to say to me?”

“Hmm.” I pretend to think. “Nope. Nothing.”

He smiles. “You just can’t give me a compliment, can you?”

“I give you compliments all the time!” I wrap my legs around his waist. He doesn’t even react. 

“Like what? Because if you gave me one, I totally missed it.”

“I don’t know, but I’m sure I’ve given you one.”

“I’m sure you haven’t.” He keeps his eyes on mine, barely blinking.

“I told you how much I liked those lights you gave me for my birthday. That was kind of a compliment.”

“Not really.” He slides his hands down under my thighs, supporting my weight. It allows me to loosen my grip on his shoulders but it also makes me completely breathless. “Jade, is there anything I do that you like? Anything you think I’m good at?”

I know what he’s implying and yes, there are many things he does that I like. And he’s definitely good at them. Like the way he’s holding me right now? Definitely good. 

Before I can speak, he slowly licks the water from my lips until they part, then slips his tongue in my mouth. I wrap my hands behind his neck as his tongue explores my mouth in a way that gets my body so scorching hot that even the water can’t cool me down. 

After a few incredible, mind-blowing minutes, he slowly pulls away. 

“Do you like it when I do that?” There’s that cocky smile I know and love. 

I smile back. “I’ll admit you’re pretty good at that.”

“Finally! A compliment.” He lets me go, forcing me to grab the edge of the pool. He sets himself up in the lane next to me like he’s preparing to swim laps.

“Hey, where are you going?”

“I have to practice.”

“So we’re just done here?”

“We haven’t even been on a date. I was only kissing you because I was trying to find something you thought I was good at. And I did. So we’re done.”

He takes off swimming, leaving me wanting more. Much, much more.

My Review

OMG I need to breathe, phewwww. How excited am I to be part of this Tour.
 
I am so glad to welcome back to purpinkrosesbookcorner Katy Evans and Remy. Girls he's back our absolute FAVOURITE Book Boyfriend REMY REMINGTON TATE. When I started my Blog, Katy Evans Real was the very, very first book I reviewed and  I interviewed Katy as well, So if you look back in the archives you will see my review of Real.

***** OK this is the first warning I am going to give**********

When you start reading Mine Follow these rules -

1. DO not read on your lunch break at work people will think your a grinning idiot, especially since you wont know you are doing it ( Yes this was me, and I was only 5% into the book)

2. You Need to get a lockable room - as you WILL NOT want to come out until its read.
3. Take supplies your going to be in there a while- you will want to savoir EVERY SINGLE LINE.

4. EARPLUGS - You will not want to BE DISTURBED under any excuse.
5. FEEL FREE TO DROOL/LUST AS MUCH AS YOU NEED OVER REMY TATE- THIS IS A MUST.

The Danger of a second book is it wont be as amazing as the first, BUT with Mine this is not the case its just as amazing as Real. We see a little bit more into Remy and his parents.

The only thing I will tell you about this book is Brooke and Remy are still very much in love, and Remy is going after Scorpion in the ring again, with a few surprises along the way. My lips are sealed on this one. Its everything you would expect and more from Remy and Brooke.

I LOVED Mine, once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. Im still thinking of it now. Real Katy's debut book was Amazing and Mine is equally Amazing. These are Stunning books and you would think that Katy's been writing for years. I love this whole story. Katy leaves you wanting more.

Mine is a truly stunning and Amazingly talented piece of writing by Katy Evans. She has a way of enthralling you with the first few pages of the story. You truly feel like your there along with Brooke and Remy. This is a Fantastic book that you need to move straight to the top of your "TBR" pile.

Ladies, Remy IS the number one ULTIMATE BOOK BOYFRIEND, and along with the fans who watch him fight I can honestly say "RIP-TIIIIIIIDE, PULL ME UNDER"

These are a few of my favourite quotes through the book im going to leave you with:-

Brooke " I will never, ever get used to the sight of him in that ring. My heart whams excitedly into my rib cage while all my insides pulse with need, and my chest feels like a balloon about to burst in excitement. Hard, lean, and perfect, he is all dangerous, all beautiful, and all mine. "

Brooke " I tuck my nose into his chest and inhale him as he inhales me, and the room falls, and in this moment nothing matters. Nothing matters but him. His arms around me and my arms around him".

Brooke and Remy " I Love You" I whisper, and when he doesn't respond, I open my eyes and shiver when I see his fierce gaze trained on me. He rubs my bottom lip with his thumb again, then tucks me back into his chest as if I'm precious. He lowers his head, his lips to my ear: " You're mine now."

Remy " Completely mine," he says. "Brooks Dumas."

Remy " But if I'd known you existed, I'd have hunted you, I'd have caught you, and I'd have taken you."

This is a must read book, and its out now.

This book gets 5/5 Stars and 5/5 For movie moments.
