Discern By Andrea Pearson!!

Discern, A Young Adult Fantasy

Nicole Williams is an Arete—a fourth child with magical abilities—yet no matter how hard she tries, she can’t Channel her power. In fact, she seems to be the only student at Katon University who fails at magic.

This doesn’t stop her from competing to be included on a university-led expedition to Arches National Park. She is determined to show everyone, but mostly herself, that she does belong. Yet, to qualify for the trip, she must produce at least a speck of Wind magic, and that appears to be impossible.

Nicole turns to her best friend, Lizzie, for help, along with fellow student Austin Young, who is considered by all a magical rarity. He also happens to be the hottest guy on campus and just might be interested in her.

As the competition progresses, Nicole wonders if she’s making the right choice—especially when she learns that the strange fossils they’ll be studying in Arches might not be as dead as everyone thinks.

Forever with You (Wait for You #5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

In the irresistibly sexy series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout, two free spirits find their lives changed by a one-night stand…

Some things you just believe in, even if you've never experienced them. For Stephanie, that list includes love. It's out there. Somewhere. Eventually. Meanwhile she's got her job at the mixed martial arts training center and hot flings with gorgeous, temporary guys like Nick. Then a secret brings them closer, opening Steph's eyes to a future she never knew she wanted—until tragedy rips it away.

Nick's self-assured surface shields a past no one needs to know about. His mind-blowing connection with Steph changes all that. As fast as he's knocking down the walls that have kept him commitment-free, she's building them up again, determined to keep the hurt—and Nick—out. But he can't walk away. Not when she's the only one who's ever made him wish for forever . . . 

Jennifer L. Armentrout does it again!  Forever with you is a stunning book filled with romance, drama and so many feels. I was laughing, crying and expressing very emotion in between. Nick and Steph have some pretty heavy obstacles to overcome and every second was a pure joy to read. Armentrout has an amazing ability of making her characters feel like real people. You experience a journey whilst reading her books, so much so that you feel like the story is actually happening to friends of yours because you can't contemplate theses characters being imaginary. There is a weight to Armentrout's books that last far beyond the final pages of the book. Nick and Steph are simply stunning characters with flaws you could most likely find within yourself and i can't say enough for how much i loved them and this book. 

Nick and Steph both appeared in previous books in the series and before now they were the two characters i never connected with. With Steph it is most likely because she slept with two of the previous heroes in the series and i disliked her quite judgmentally because of this. If you are fearing reading this book because of this let me tell you now that you would be a fool not to read this book. There is such a vulnerable side to Steph as she explains her past and the reasons for her actions that it becomes impossible not to love her. You also see a different side to Nick and you watch him grow as a person and finally become a man and quite an amazing one at that.

I cannot wait for the next book as it looks like it will be another masterpiece.

ARC Until Jax by Aurora Rose Reynolds

Ellie Anthony isn’t looking for love. She isn’t even looking for a man, but when Jax Mayson insists on keeping her and her daughter safe, she’s left with no choice but to trust him. Now she just hopes she doesn’t get hurt when she falls hard for a guy who’s known for breaking hearts.  

Jax Mayson knows that Ellie is his BOOM the moment he sees her. When he finds out she has a daughter, he realizes he wants a family, and he will do whatever is necessary to keep both of his girls safe, even if that means facing the demons from his past.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Until Jax by Aurora Rose Reynolds. The Mason boys strike again and as usual their books are amazing! Reynolds writing is truly inspiring and absolutely captivating. In this book we follow the playboy son of Cash and Lily,  our very own Jax Mason. If you read Until July, and I certainly hope you did, you would have seen Jax meet his Boom Ellie. Not only does Jax get Ellie in this book but he also gets a little bit of Hope and a whole load of chocolate pancakes. I can't even put into words how much I loved this book. Jax and Ellie's story is so romantic and evolves so beautifully and seamlessly that its impossible not to care deeply for the characters in this book. 

There are plenty of references to Reynolds other books in the  Until series, and it was fantastic to hear what happened to are original favourite Mason bothers between the time jump of when they met their booms, to now that their children are adults falling in love. There are also some sneak peaks into June and Sages romantic lives and it looks like their stories are going to carry on the tradition of being fantastic reads. 

Until Jax will be available for purchase on the 29th September 2015 but is available for pre-order now:

I completely and wholeheartedly recommend this book and all others written by Aurora Rose Reynolds.  

ARC Angel Dares by Joss Stirling

Angel is impulsive. Disguising her savant ability to control water doesn't come easily to her. Then she meets the broodingly handsome Marcus at a music festival where they're both performing, and finds herself all at sea. For when he sings, her soul answers with its own music. Like the tide, their mutual attraction cannot be held back, but Marcus's mistrust of Angel's gift is even stronger. How can they ever be together if Marcus is unable to accept who Angel is or what they could mean to each other? And with the net closing in on the Savant community it's time for everyone to choose a side. 

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Angel Dares by Joss Stirling and i'm delighted to say her books just keep getting better. Angel Dares is an amazing continuation in the Benedict series. It's full of romance, fun, action and with that subtle paranormal hint that Stirling has perfected. Angel is such a strong heroine with a lively personality that makes her stand out from the previous heroines in the series. We also get to see more of our favourite savant brothers as they continue to search for their soulfinders, and we are introduced to Angel's soul finder the rockstar Marcus. 

Marcus and Angel have their fair share of obstacles to overcome in order to be together, but it's utterly enthralling to read the development of their relationship and how they grow up  and reflect on their actions throughout the book. Once you finish reading you will feel like you have been on a complete journey with each of the characters as they are written so wonderfully and have their own individual personalities that shine on the page. 

I can't recommend this book enough to everyone as this story is absolutely captivating. If you haven't read the other books in this series, i would suggest you go purchase Finding Sky right now and start this amazing journey as I'm positive you won't be disappointed. 

This title will be released on October 1, 2015. 

Pre-order now.

ARC Wrong Number, Right Guy by Elle Casey

When a mysterious text message summons May Wexler to a biker bar in downtown New Orleans, she knows something is very wrong. Her sister has sent out an SOS, but when May gets there, she’s nowhere to be found and May is the one in trouble—she’s wearing pink espadrilles, she’s got a Chihuahua in her purse, and she’s in the middle of a shootout.

After tall, muscular Ozzie comes to her rescue, May has no choice but to follow him to safety. At the headquarters of his private security firm, the Bourbon Street Boys, she finds a refuge for the night—and the offer of a job. But it’s not long before a gun-toting stalker isn’t the only complication in May’s life: the more time she spends with Ozzie, the less she can deny that they’ve got some serious chemistry. A wrong number got her into this mess…Will it also get her the right guy?

I received an ARC copy of Wrong Number, Right Guy by Elle Casey and let me tell you the Bourbon Street Boys are definitely going to be on my Christmas list this year! Casey gives you everything from action to romance in this series and also manages to throw in a little puppy love and beard jokes to keep the reader enthralled. All of Casey's characters have their own sparkling personalities and I can't wait to find out the rest of the teams back stories. 

This first book revolves around May the sweet little Bo Peep and Ozzie the big old grizzly bear. When possibly the worst ever case of answering a wrong number happens, May is literally thrown into Ozzie's world. Ozzie runs a security service and with a little push from the rest of the team, May is invited to join. What happens next is completely full of action packed drama and hilarious moments that made me nearly growl out loud when i finished and realised i'm going to have to wait for the next instalment. 

Ozzie is a dream Alpha male hero especially in the second half of the book where the pages nearly combust from the sexual tension between him and May. I absolutely loved the build up between them throughout and May is one badass heroine. I would definitely suggest this book to anyone in need of a good sweep you off your feet and throw you in a furnace romance. 

' " Why are you laughing?  You know I speak the truth." 

    "I know you speak nonsense."

    "Name one thing that wasn't accurate."

    "I hate beards."

     He Jumps up off the floor, and before I know what he's planning, I've been swept into his arms.

   " What are you doing?!" I yell. I sound way too happy for him to mistake my reaction for anger.

    "I'm bringing you to bed to give you a spanking."'

This book will be available from 22nd September 2015

ARC Wolf from the Past (Salvation Pack) by N.J. Walters

Playing dead is easy. Living is hard.

Sylvie LaForge Dubois knew coming back from the dead wouldn’t be easy, but facing her brother and his friends is harder than she imagined. The way Gator Rollins watches her every move makes her decidedly uneasy and excited.

After surviving a forced mating to the abusive Andre Dubois, having a rugged, dangerous werewolf like Gator sniffing around her is scary and thrilling at the same time. She never imagined she’d want another man, but her bone-deep attraction to Gator is too strong to fight.

Gator never got a chance to tell Sylvie he loved her before she was mated with another and, well, died. Now that she’s back, there’s nothing he won’t do to protect her.

Once word gets out, Sylvie’s former pack will be coming for her. No one leaves the Louisiana pack, especially not a female werewolf. But Gator’s determined that this time he won’t let anyone or anything get between him and Sylvie, even if she can’t decide if his touch makes her want to jump his bones…or run for the hills.

Warning: If you believe in second chances, this story will rock your soul, make you swoon, and bring tears to your eyes. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review of Wolf from the past, the latest book in the Salvation pack series. 

What can I say about this book except that N.J. Walters has done it again! Gator and Sylvie's  story is stunning. It's a beautiful story that had me hooked from beginning to end. Walters has a fantastic way of making each character individual and you never feel like she is repeating the same thing in her books. Sylvie is such a damaged character at the beginning of this story and Gator's strength and patience had me falling in love with both of them.  Gator is such an Alpha Male that there were plenty of moments in this book i had to stop and reach for a glass of water and a fan. 

"Come back." he whispered against her ear. She shivers as his hot breath skimmer over the outer shell. "Wherever you've gone, come back to me."

There has been a running storyline throughout all of this series involving the danger of the boys old pack and that progresses wonderfully throughout.  There is lots of drama, action and plenty of hilarious moments that kept the book moving at a fast pace and i didn't want this book to end at all! It looks like there is going to be some major explosions happening in Wolf on the Hunt and i'm so excited to see what happens to these amazing characters next.

This book definitely deserves 5 stars as I couldn't put it down from the second i received it.
