#CuddlesByVal ~ 8/20/14

This is my version of Waiting on Wednesday but with more cuddles, books I can't wait to cuddle for various reasons.

Available August 26th from Penguin Books

Rival (Fall Away, #2) by Penelope Douglas

From the New Adult sensation and New York Times bestselling author of Until You

Madoc and Fallon. Two estranged teenagers playing games that push the boundaries between love and war…

She’s back.

For the two years she’s been away at boarding school, there was no word from her. Back when we lived in the same house, she used to cut me down during the day and then leave her door open for me at night.

I was stupid then, but now I’m ready to beat her at her own game…

I’m back.

Two years and I can tell he still wants me, even if he acts like he’s better than me.

But I won’t be scared away. Or pushed down. I’ll call his bluff and fight back. That’s what he wants, right? As long as I keep my guard up, he’ll never know how much he affects me…

Why am I waiting? I love New Adult books and this one sounds just a little bit different.  I'm excited to see if that's true.

  

Letting Go (Thatch #1) by Molly McAdams 

Grey and Ben fell in love at thirteen and believed they’d be together forever. But three days before their wedding, the twenty-year-old groom-to-be suddenly died from an unknown heart condition, destroying his would-be-bride’s world. If it hadn’t been for their best friend, Jagger, Grey never would have made it through those last two years to graduation. He’s the only one who understands her pain, the only one who knows what it’s like to force yourself to keep moving when your dreams are shattered. Jagger swears he’ll always be there for her, but no one has ever been able to hold on to him. He’s not the kind of guy to settle down.

It’s true that no one has ever been able to keep Jagger—because he’s only ever belonged to Grey. While everyone else worries over Grey’s fragility, he’s the only one who sees her strength. Yet as much as he wants Grey, he knows her heart will always be with Ben. Still they can’t deny the heat that is growing between them—a passion that soon becomes too hot to handle. But admitting their feelings for each other means they’ve got to face the past. Is being together what Ben would have wanted . . . or a betrayal of his memory that will eventually destroy them both?

Why am I waiting? Because I kind of have this addiction to Molly McAdams. Or her books, rather. I don't know what it is about them, but I get into these moods sometimes where all I want to do is sit around and read Molly's books. And this one sounds super good! So it'll be like two birds, one stone--feed the addiction, plus read a darn good novel. I absolutely CANNOT wait to get this one in my hands!
