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!
Rating:
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.
REALLY AWESOME BOOK!!!Incomplete will be available on September 6th!

Love, Lies and Deception Blog Tour: Interview + Review!!
Welcome to my stop on the Love, Lies and Deception by L.P. Dover blog tour!!
Synopsis:
What do you do when the one person you thought you knew turns out to be the one you knew the least?
Twenty-three year old Marissa Chase, and soon to be college graduate, has everything going for her: wonderful friends, a lucrative degree, and a chance to explore the world. What made it even better – or so she thought – was when her path crossed with the alluring Alec Holden. Unable to stay away from him, Marissa experiences a love like no other, and falls into his world of passion and intrigue. However, things begin to shift when this path takes a deadly turn.
Her trust is put to the test when hidden dangers unfold before her, revealing secrets that have been buried for years. Secrets that were meant to stay hidden. Murder, lies, and betrayal … will Marissa figure it all out in time and escape with her life intact, or will she be too late and fall into the trap of deception?
Review
Love, Lies and Deception was an amazing read that took me less than 24 hours to read. The plot was fast paced, beautifully and realistically written and the sex scenes were uh-maz-ing!!!
Alec Holden is my new book BF and I just loved everything about his character. Marissa got on my nerves a tad bit, but deep down she is a real doll and a strong female lead.
This book has it all and so much more! You won't regret reading it!!
I was able to interview the lovely L.P. Dover! Check it out!!!
1.Where did the idea for Love, Lies and Deception evolve from?
It evolved from my head ... lol. I don't really know how it all came about. I was talking to one of my friends and it just popped up. I knew I wanted to write a romantic suspense so it just came to me. Needless to say, I did change the plot a few times and had to rewrite a lot, but it eventually came to me. I've never been happier with it.
2.When did you start writing?
I started writing when I was younger... poetry and stuff like that. I even wrote a special one for my sister's wedding. When the preacher read it I about died ...lol. I was so embarrassed for people to hear what I wrote. But as far as seriously writing, I didn't start that until a little over a year ago.
3.Any characters based off real life people?
Some of my characters are based off of real people. Not all of them though. I use some aspects of my own life and my own personality into my characters. If you notice, a lot of my characters love Italian food. It's my favorite, so mostly all of them have it as their favorite too...lol.
4.What's your advice for new indie authors?
My advice would be to always keep working hard. Never give up and even if people try to drag you down always get up and keep pushing. It'll be hard at first, but it'll be worth it in the end.
5.What's your favorite book you've written so far?
My favorite book is Love, Lies, and Deception. It was a joy to write and I loved writing about the suspense and trying to keep my readers in the dark. It was fun and spicy!!!!
