Trusting You by L.P. Dover Blog Tour: Review

Blurb

I trust you …

These are the three words that Melissa Ashford wishes she could say to someone; to the one person she can fully give herself to and not worry about being betrayed. Being twenty-eight years old and divorced from a cheating ex-husband, Melissa enjoys her freedom until one night she finds herself indulging in a one night stand that changes everything.

There’s something about the alluring Brett Walker that has Melissa feeling things she’s never had with any other man; feelings that not only scare her, but push her past her limits. Just when she begins to open her soul to this new love their bond is put to the test when jealousies from the past try to break them apart.

It’s not only Melissa’s trust that’s put on the line, but Brett’s as well. Will their love be strong enough to get them through the lies? Will Melissa finally be able to say those three words she’s been dying to say? I trust you …

Review

L.P. is in my opinion a complete genius when it comes to mixing sexyness, romance and adventure in her stories. Her storylines are great, so fresh and fast paced that it grabs you by your collar and won't let you go until the end page.

Trusting You was beautifully executed and included some HOT scenes and a really crazy and addicting storyline. I was hooked from the get go and finished it quick, because I wanted to know how it was all going to end.

I love L.P.'s characters and how she develops them so thoroughly, it's like they are real people and you've known them all your life. That's what a truly gifted writer does, write people you can call your best friend or your book boyfriend.

Great story, you will not be able to put it down!!

Synopsis:

Lexi's Legacy, a contemporary adventure romance set in Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA., is the second book in the continuing saga of The Master of Whitehall. After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Lexi discovers an unexpected cure from an unlikely source and two best friends become eternal friends. Lexi tells her tale of life, lost and found, relating her experiences as she leaves behind her human life and begins her journey into a new immortal life.

She recounts the changes that take place as she enters a supernatural world she never knew existed, joining Katelyn and James at Whitehall Plantation. Lexi has much to learn about her new world as she grows and matures into the life of a vampire. Join her as she takes you on an adventure of life changing proportions. Let her tell you about how her life changes, about love … found … lost … and found again.

Lexi’s Legacy is an exciting and enjoyable adventure in the on-going epic of The Master of Whitehall.

Review:

Back in February I reviewed the first book in this series. You can find my review here. Well I was lucky to get the chance to read the continuing of this beautiful story and read Lexi's side of things. I was NOT disappointed. It was a book full of non stop BEAUTY! I was drawn in from the first page and couldn't let go and even now, after it's been awhile since I've read it, Lexi's story stays in my heart.

This is unlike any other vampire tale out there. The Master of Whitehall was amazing and this one is equal to it's greatness. This story deserves to be on the big screen because it has depth, soul and meaning. I loved the whole thing and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read a poignant story of love, life and vamps!

TEASER

A night at the bar, several tequila sunrises, and a gorgeous guy staring at me from across the room … how could I resist? Talking became flirting, flirting became touching, and then the touching led me to where I was now.

There were only a couple more hours until the first rays of sunshine would alert the coming of dawn. I was angry with myself for letting things go too far with the man sleeping soundly off to my side. How could I be so stupid yet love everything I did?

Review:

This story was different from what I usually read, but different can be good, just like it was in this case! Enemy Lines is a quick moving, action packed with some romance thrown in for good measure. I enjoyed it and I really liked Rachel and I loved the chemistry between Rachel and Noah. I like the military POV in this dystopian novel, it was a change and almost like I was on the inside looking out.

Enemy Lines is a great novel and if you're tired of reading about fluffy romances, and want something a little more gritty with some awesome action scenes, I would definitely recommend this! You won't be disappointed!

REALLY AWESOME BOOK!!!

Excerpt

Connor knew Lawton was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen or known. She thought and fought like a warrior, played with children, said whatever the hell she felt, and was just as stunning when she was angry and full of fury as she was when she was laughing. Oh, and her body… but he knew if he ever attempted to reach out and touch her, she would flutter away on the wind like a butterfly.

“Let’s play truth or dare.”

Connor almost choked on his drink. “Okay,”

“Full disclosure, Connor.” She warned.

“What does that mean in the game?”

“It means whatever is asked has to be answered truthfully – no holds barred. And anything we are dared to do – we have to do.”

Review: ARC of Incomplete by Lindy Zart

Blurb:

There are three absolute truths in Grayson Lee’s life:

1. His existence was a mistake.

2. No one is good enough for his best friend, Lily Jacobs, especially not him.

3. He loves her anyway.

Review:

Incomplete is a beautifully written YA story about two best friends that love each other and basically fight it, accept it, then live their life. Grayson and Lily are great characters, although I will say Grayson got on my nerves a tad bit. He was just very angsty, so fully of madness, but I understand teens are angry most the time especially if they have crappy home lives.

This was a quick read, and I did enjoy it. It flowed nicely and the dialogue was funny and raw. The chemistry between Grayson and Lily is sweet and real. I am anxious to read the sequel to this, Complete, coming Spring 2014.
