Wicked (A Wicked Saga, #1) by Jennifer L Armentrout

Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans.

Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.

Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.

But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.







Teaser...



"Don't touch me," I gritted out.
His eyes met mine again, and for a moment, he didn't move, and I was struck again by his handsomeness.  It wasn't often one saw a mortal male that rivaled the beauty of the fae.  Then he easily slipped his hand free and rocked back on the lower step, kneeling.  He raised his hands to his sides.  "Not something I usually hear from the ladies, but your wish is my command." (Page 24)

EEP! And double EEP! *Spins and bounces*  This is Ren! What do you think?  You should meet him, oh yes, you should.  (I feel like Dr. Seuss - am I spending too much time with baby b? Hmmm) Aaaanyway, what do you think?








The Gamble (Colorado Mountain, #1)The Gamble (Colorado Mountain #1) by Kristen Ashley

Love is the greatest gamble of all . . .

Nina Sheridan desperately needs a timeout vacation. With a fiancé who can't even remember how she takes her coffee, Nina wants some distance to rethink her engagement. Flying halfway around the world from England to a mountain town in Colorado should do the trick. But when she finds a gorgeous man at her rental cabin, Nina's cold, lonely adventure suddenly heats up.

The owner of the house, Holden "Max" Maxwell is surprised by the beautiful woman who turns up at his door. But when Nina becomes ill, Max spends days nursing her back to health. A private man with a broken heart, Max finds himself drawn to the strong-willed woman. Soon it becomes impossible for Nina and Max to deny their growing attraction to one another. Yet even as these two wounded lovebirds think about taking a chance on a relationship, a dangerous secret from Max's past emerges-and threatens to end their love for good.




Teaser...


"Hang tight, baby." 
The bed moved and I fell back as substantial weight came in behind me. 
Then his body was the length of my back, fitting itself into the curve of mine. I nestled backwards, deeper into his solid warmth as the tremors kept quaking my frame. His arm came around me, his hand found mine and the fingers of both my hands curled around his, hard, tight, holding on.


Those are our teasers this week! What do you think? Do you have a teaser to share? Leave us a comment!
