Re-release Blitz: Surrender To Me by Monica James

Synopsis

Ava Thompson left her one true love, Jasper White, to unearth her destiny. It was the only way for Ava to grow into the woman she’s always wanted to become. 

Sadly, that destiny has led her back to the place that broke her … Singapore.

And more importantly, it has led her back to the man who broke her … Harper.

Ava is no longer the scared, lost girl she once was. She is stronger and determined to accomplish her dreams in order to find happiness. Hopefully, at the end of it all, she will return into the loving arms of Jasper White. 

Six months later, Ava travels back to Los Angeles for an event that embraces the true meaning of love. Sadly for Ava, her meaning of true love has been lost. 

Los Angeles is not how Ava left it. Things have changed. People have changed. She has changed. However, what has remained untouched is her passionate love for Jasper White. 

But does Jasper feel the same?

Synopsis: 

Singapore has stolen a piece of Ava Thompson.

It took one life shattering moment for her to realize her ex-boyfriend is not the man she believed him to be. Returning home to Los Angeles was never going to be easy for Ava, as her heart has been shattered to smithereens and she’s convinced it’ll never heal. Or, so she thought.

Enter Jasper White.

Unbeknown to Ava, he will change her life forever.

The attraction is instantaneous, which troubles Ava, who has sworn off men indefinitely. Yet, she is finding resisting Jasper—with his tousled bedroom hair and piercing cerulean eyes—harder than she ever imagined. That’s because Jasper knows what he wants … and he wants her.

Can Ava surrender to her feelings for the one man who compels her to love again? What happens if love isn’t enough?

Throwback Thursday #30: Dates From Hell

Throwback Thursday is a bookish meme hosted every two weeks by me and Christina @ Booksane where we feature books that we've read in the past but are still crazy about. It could be a book you read as a child and still remember and love or maybe just a book that you haven't read in a long time and want to show your love for.

Each week we'll be featuring a new random question to answer!

--

Dates from Hell by Kim Harrison, Lynsay Sands, Kelley Armstrong and Lori Handeland

 

1. Undead in the Garden of Good and Evil by Kim Harrison - Ivy and vampire Art are partners on homicide case for Inderland Security.

2. The Claire Switch Project by Lynsay Sands - Claire, new shapeshifter, accepts dates for school reunion with crush Kyle and his sister Jill.

3. Chaotic by Kelley Armstrong - Half-demon Hope is sent to museum gala by mentor Tristan to catch werewolf thief Karl Marsten.

4. Dead Man Dating by Lori Handeland - On their first date, Kit goes too far with Eric, shot by bystander Chavez, then wakes to no blood, no body.

Okay... this book? It's one of my all-time favorites. I can't express how much I love it. The short stories are sexy, well-written and just damn awesome. Chaotic by Kelley Amrstrong was my favorite because it was my first introduction to Kelley's Otherworld series AND Karl Marsten. Ever since I've always been crazy about Karl.  Second favorite was the story by Kim Harrison because it's also one of my favorite series and I just love Ivy. Also, Kisten was in it if I remember correctly. 

Quote:

“Death and blood didn’t turn on a vampire. Fear and the chance to take blood did. There was a difference.”

Question of this week:

Now it's gonna get dirty... show us your bookmarks!
