My Top Summer Reads 2012

09/02/2012

I read 50 books from June 1st until August 31st. Here are my Top Picks from those Fifty Books. Notice I snuck in an extra or two if I read the series, but it was SO HARD to choose!!!

I started making it 5, then decided to round it to 10, but I really need a dozen. There were so many good ones!

 

 

 

1. Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec  Not only my favorite book of summer, but I think this may be my favorite book ever. Laugh out loud funny, sexy, and a great story, this is my TOP fave.  See my review here.

Purchase Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec at Amazon || BN.com

 

2. If I Were You (Inside Out Trilogy 1) by Lisa Renee Jones  Mark my words, this will be the next IT book. This story combines mystery, intrigue, sex, romance and more, and leaves you panting for more. See my review here.

Purchase If I Were You by Lisa Renee Jones    Amazon || BN.com || iBooks

 

3. The Unidentified Redhead and The Redhead Revealed by Alice Clayton  The first book kept me smiling, giggling and was totally sexy, the second was all that with a load of angst in the middle. Loved them both, and can’t separate them for this list. See my review of The Unidentified Redhead Here, and The Redhead Revealed Here.

Purchase The Unidentified Redhead: Amazon | BN.com | iBooks
Purchase The Redhead Revealed at  Amazon | BN.com | iBooks

 

4. The Mighty Storm by Samantha Towle  Famous bad-boy Rock Star reconnects with childhood crush. Consumed me completely. See my review here.

Purchase The Mighty Storm at Amazon coming soon to others.

 

5. The Gamble by Kristen Ashley is the first in the Colorado Mountain Series by Kristen Ashley. I had started my Kristen Ashley reading with #2, Sweet Dreams, but never went back. I should have. This book had everything. See my review here.

Purchase The Gamble on Amazon || BN.com || iBooks

 

6. Friends with Benefits and Frenemies (Girl Next Door 1 & 2) by CC Wood I was trying not to put novellas on this list, but since there are two, and I really enjoyed both fun, sexy, books (especially the second), I had to include them. See my review of Friends with Benefits Here, and Frenemies Here.

Purchase Friends with Benefits at Amazon. Purchase Frenemies at Amazon.

 

7. Masters at Arms (Rescue Me #1) by Kallypso Masters This book is a FREE prequel, so I must include at least Nobody’s Angel. This is about 3 Doms who, after serving together in the Gulf form a fetish club back home. Each book is another Dom finding love. See my Review here.

Get Masters at Arms FREE at Amazon || BN.com || iBooks

 

8. Easy by Tammara Webber Beautifully written story about a college girl. Deals with sensitive subjects but has an awesome, angsty romance. For teens and up. See my review here.

Purchase Easy at Amazon || BN.com || iBooks

 

9. Poughkeepsie by Debra Anastasia. Young lady falls for a homeless man. This book was a long emotional ride, and very unique. See my review here.

Purchase: Poughkeepsie at Amazon || BN.com || iBooks

 

10. The Siren (The Original Sinners) by Tiffany Reisz  The Siren was a book within a book about an erotic author and her publisher. She also has numerous FREE short stories on her website. See my review for The Siren here. Check The Original Sinners Reading Order Here. 

Purchase The Siren at Amazon || BN.com || iBooks

THE RISING 
Once upon a time, in a parallel universe, there existed an abundance of beauty and riches on the continent of Triton.

Yet for millennia, peace was not the destiny chosen by the rulers and Triton grew fractured, splintering into different realms.

There were the magical Enchantments, the home of the warrior sisterhood of the Nadirii.

There were the sun-drenched dunes of the wanton land of Firenze.

There were the fertile forests of the virtuous region of Wodell.

There were the black crags of the cultured nation of Airen.

And there was the island continent of Mar-el.

Last, there was the Dome City where its priests held fast to three sacred missions: education, healing, and most of all, extending their beliefs.

But there were those…

Those who would see dominion over all the lands.

Those who conspired to reawaken the Beast.

Foreseeing this, a powerful coven of witches proclaimed the prophecy.

Triton’s four strongest warriors must wed its four most powerful witches, binding all nations together.

If these men and women could see beyond their differences of culture and history, pride, politics and pasts—and love could prevail—their strength would flourish…

Then, they could face The Rising.

They could battle the Beast.

The time has come.

He has been awakened…
And he is rising…
