Review | Lauren Layne - Irresistibly Yours

Hotshot sports editor Cole Sharpe has been freelancing for Oxford for years, so when he hears about a staff position opening up, he figures he’s got the inside track. Then his boss drops a bombshell: Cole has competition. Female competition, in the form of a fresh-faced tomboy who can hang with the dudes - and write circles around them, too. Cole usually likes his women flirty and curvy, but he takes a special interest in his skinny, sassy rival, if only to keep an eye on her. And soon, he can’t take his eyes off her.

Penelope Pope knows all too well that she comes off as just one of the guys. Since she’s learned that wanting more usually leads to disappointment, Penelope’s resigned to sitting on the sidelines when it comes to love. So why does Cole make her want to get back in the game? The man is as arrogant as he is handsome. He probably sees her as nothing more than a barrier to his dream job. But when an unexpected kiss turns into a night of irresistible passion, Penelope has to figure out whether they’re just fooling around - or starting something real.

Wanted | New (e)books in May

Die Sonnenstrahlen werden kräftiger, die Blumen blühen und die Arbeit im Garten beginnt. Das bedeutet, dass der Frühlin Einzug hält und mit ihm diesmal viele neue Bücher, die mich im Mai interessieren würden. Zumindest die Hälfte davon will ich auch wirklich lesen :)

Wanted | New (e)books in March

Auch im nächsten Monat freue ich mich auf eine ausgewogene Mischung aus neuen Serien, Fortsetzungen und Stand Alones. Manche möchte ich sofort lesen, andere mir auf jeden Fall für die nächste Leselücke vormerken. Es wird also auch der März nicht langweilig werden... 

Wanted | New (e)books in February

Hallo meine Lieben, 

das neue Jahr ist bereits wieder alt und ich nach den Feiertagen wieder im Alltag angekommen. Leider :) Mit dem Lesen geht es momentan nur so lala voran, aber ich freue mich schon wieder auf ein paar Neuerscheinungen im Februar.

Review | Lauren Layne - The Trouble with Love

 

As Stiletto magazine’s authority on all things breakup-and-heartache, Emma Sinclair writes from personal experience. Five years ago, Emma was Charlotte, North Carolina’s darling debutante and a blushing bride-to-be. Now she’s the ice queen of the Manhattan dating scene. Emma left her sultry Southern drawl behind, but not even her closest friends know that with it she left her heart. Now Emma’s latest article forces her to face her demons - namely, the devilishly sexy guy who ditched her at the altar.

After giving up everything for a pro-soccer career, Alex Cassidy watches his dreams crumble as a knee injury sidelines him for good. Now he’s hanging up his cleats and giving journalism a shot. It’s just a coincidence that he happens to pick a job in the same field, and the same city, as his former fiancée…ight? But when Emma moves in next door, it’s no accident. It’s research. And Alex can’t help wondering what might have been. Unlike the innocent girl he remembers, this Emma is chic, sophisticated, and assertive - and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. The trouble is, Alex has never wanted her more.

Review | Lauren Layne - Just One Night

Riley McKenna knows sex - good sex, bad sex, kinky sex… Her articles in Stiletto magazine are consistently the publication’s most scandalous - and the most read. But Riley has a secret…all that sexy talk? Not an ounce of it comes from personal experience. Her own bedroom escapades are more limited than even her best friends know. When her editor requests that all columnists write something more personal for Stiletto’s anniversary issue, Riley turns to the one man she’s always been able to count on and calls in the favor of a lifetime.

Sam Compton would do anything for Riley McKenna. Anything except be her experimental sex toy. He refuses her request. At least until she tells him that it’ll either be him or she’ll go to someone else. And that, Sam can’t accept. Reluctantly he agrees to her terms - one night of completely meaningless sex in the name of research. Riley thinks she’s prepared for what awaits her in Sam’s bed. After ten years of writing about sex, actually doing it shouldn’t be that different, right? So wrong. What starts as “one time only” becomes “just one more time.” And then one more. And before they know it, Riley and Sam learn first-hand that when it comes to love, there’s no such thing as just one night.

Gossip | Neuzugänge Oktober / November

Diesen Monat geht das Lesen irgendwie nur schleppend voran (könnte vielleicht an dem schönen, unherbstlichen Wetter liegen, das hierzulande herrscht ;) ), dafür hat sich in meinen Regal etwas getan. Zwölf neue Bücher sind bei mir eingezogen und versuchen irgendwo in den letzten verbleibenden Lücken Platz zu finden.

Wanted | New (e)books in November

Der Herbst hält Einzug im Land und ich freue mich schon irgendwie auf nebelige Nachmittage, die man mit Tee und einem Buch auf der Couch verbringen kann. (Bitte nur nicht zu viel des Nebels ;))  Ich bin ja diesmal stolz auf mich. Bisher sind "nur" 15 Titel auf meiner November-Wunschliste ;) 

Wanted - New (e)books in October

Hiilfe! Wann soll ich das alles lesen?! Nehmt mir doch bitte den Laptop weg oder sperrt zumindest meinen Goodreads-Account ;) Hier sind meine Anwärter für einen Platz auf meinem EReader im Monat Oktober:

Review | Lauren Layne - Love The One You're With

As a leading columnist for Stiletto, Grace Brighton has built a career warning women about rotten, cheating liars. She just never suspected her fiancé would be one of them. After Grace takes a heart-mending hiatus, her first assignment is to go on a couple of dates with a counterpart from the men's magazine Oxford and report her impressions. Grace 1.0 may have been instantly smitten with the gorgeous correspondent, but Grace 2.0 has sworn off relationships for six months, and she's not falling for his outstanding bod and trophy-winning kisses... or is she?

Jake Malone wants to get back to the fly-by-night, who-knows-what's-next guy he used to be, and he knows exactly how to do it. Oxford is adding a travel section, and Jake - with no wife and no kids and a willingness to live anywhere, eat anything, do everything - is perfect for the job... except that his playboy reputation makes his new editor nervous. To get the gig, he must agree to a fluffy joint article with Stiletto.

But after just one date with snooty, sumptuous, sensational Grace Brighton, Jake starts taking this assignment a whole lot more seriously...

Wanted | New (e)books in August

Je heißer es wird, desto kürzer ist meine Liste :D Liegt wohl daran, dass im August weniger Titel erscheinen. Meine Oktober-Liste hingegen ist jetzt schon ziemlich lang. Aber so weit will ich gar nicht vorgreifen, sondern zeig euch lieber mal, was mich im nächsten Monat so interessiert.

Wanted - (e)books in July

Der Sommer rückt näher, der Urlaub naht und es erscheinen auch wieder ein paar Bücher, die ich in der Zeit lesen möchte. Es sind diesmal gar nicht so viele dabei, die ich unbedingt demnächst lesen will. Doch der Rest wird auf jeden Fall im Auge behalten. 

Review | Lauren Layne - After the Kiss

Julie Greene loves flings, steamy first dates, sizzling first kisses, and - every now and then - that first sexy romp between the sheets. But when Julie gets assigned the hardest story of her career - a first-person account of the shift between dating and "I do" she'll need a man brave enough to give a total commitment-phobe a chance at more.

Mitchell Forbes, a devastatingly hot workaholic who tends to stay in relationships for far too long, is the perfect subject for Julie's "research." But what Julie doesn't know is that Mitchell is looking to cut loose and that Julie, notorious for avoiding love, is exactly the type of no-strings fling he's looking for...
