Please go check it out <a href="http://outlandishreads.wordpress.com/">here</a> and maybe follow my new <a href="https://twitter.com/caitrionabaelf">twitter account</a> as well.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16478330038061356063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817334970929341802.post-74848708712564025022013-09-06T21:13:00.001-04:002013-09-06T21:13:13.640-04:00NewsI know it's been pretty obvious that I haven't been posting much of anything lately. I've let some people down. Blogging has just become something I have to force myself to do, not the loved hobby it once was. So unfortunately I have decided to go on hiatus. No more posts for a while, maybe ever. I'm sorry to everyone who had enjoyed this blog, but I can't continue forcing myself to do this right now.

I live an extraordinary life: millionaire rock star, owner of exotic cars, pictures of me in every magazine, millions of fans, and a name that is recognized world wide. It's supposed to be my dream come true. But, my life IS a fantasy, and I want real. I want exciting. I want... NORMAL. So, I moved from California to Florida, hoping to obtain some normalcy.

He's an arrogant jerk. Seriously, I hate him. I swear if he tells me one more blonde joke, I will punch him... again... Unfortunately I can't stop thinking about him, or his gorgeous green eyes. Trust me, I know that he's bad for me. If only my heart would listen.</div>

“We have so much chemistry that we're literally smoking,” I smile. “And it's only a matter of time before we erupt.”</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18px;">
He clears his throat. “I'm kind of looking forward to this <b>eruption</b>. Think it will happen any time soon?”</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18px;">
“Stephan,” I swat my hand at his arm gently. “You are so bad.”</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18px;">
“Maybe, but you know you want me.”</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18px;">
“Oh, I do want you, but it's so much more fun to make you wait.” I laugh. “Besides, I'm waiting until we're in <b>love</b>.”</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18px;">
“Augh, the <b>L </b>word again.” He shakes his head, as if he can will the word to go away.</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18px;">
“Why are you so against <b>love</b>?” I ask.</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 18px;">
“I'm not <b>against love</b>. I just think that <b>love </b>is a serious word. I have never told a girl that I love her, and I want it to mean something. I want the one and only girl I say it to, to be my wife.”</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px;">
And right there, I lost my heart... to a boy named Stephan Montgomery.</div>

He pulls out a costume. “I could be Iron Man.”</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5px;">
I crinkle my nose. “No way. Thor is way cooler of a superhero.”</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5px;">
“He’s not a <b>superhero. </b>He’s a god. There is a difference,” Stephan quickly replies.</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5px;">
“Whatever. <b>I really don’t care</b>. He’s a mythical creature either way. He can be whoever the fuck I want him to be.” I shake my head.</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5px;">
“What are you going as?” Stephan asks.</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5px;">
“Who cares?” I laugh and decide to quote Mean Girls. “Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.” I pause then say, “I was thinking slutty zombie.”</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 13.5px;">

“Well <b>somebody</b> is going to have to repopulate the earth. It’s a rough job, but I think I’m up for the challenge.” He puts his arm around my shoulder and starts walking me to the door. “In fact, we better get started now.”</div>
<div style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 12px/normal Calibri; margin: 0px;">
I remove his arm from around my shoulder. “Right. You get started without me. I’m just going to grab my costume.”</div>

I am just trying to get through the next few months with my sanity intact, but that seems like an impossible feat. I’m back in LA, and this time I’m not alone. Between finding time for my new husband, my mother-in-law that hates me, and putting up with Alec and Bridgett’s bickering, I’m not sure how much more I can take… And then Mona shows up. I am in over my head.</div>

I thought I knew the truth about everything, but I was wrong. Secrets that weren’t supposed to come out are now being discovered. Secrets about my biological father… Even Bridgett is keeping a secret… Something big. I have to know what, even if it means running away again.</div>

And now for my review of Hated:<br />
<br />
I loved this book so sooo much. I loved this entire series. The best from Mercy in my opinion.<br />
<br />
Scarlett is one of my favorite characters. To be honest I didn't like her much at the beginning of the series, but she's grown on me. I'm sad to see her story end. <br />
<script src="//d12vno17mo87cx.cloudfront.net/embed/rafl/cptr.js"></script><br />
The plot twists! Oh my. I love plot twists and wow were there a lot of them! I was shocked at many of them. Good job Mercy ;)<br />
<br />
Scarlett and Stephan's relationship is one of my absolute favorites. They are perfect for each other and I'm so glad they lasted. <br />
<br />
I loved that Mercy wrote the last chapter telling what happens to these characters in the future. To many times I'm left with hundreds of questions at the end of the story. This time I only have two.<br />
1. What happened to Mona/Ethan?<br />
2. What about Alec??? He was practically non-existent in that last chapter. I'm so happy to know that there will be a short story featuring him.<br />
<br />
So yeah. You need to pick up this series right now.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16478330038061356063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817334970929341802.post-33654905501856386372013-08-04T01:00:00.000-04:002013-08-04T01:00:05.439-04:00Cover Reveal: Hated by Mercy Amare<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Review</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Okay I'm going to keep this short and honest. Really, this wasn't my favorite from Mercy. I liked it, it was alright. I mean I gave it 3 stars on goodreads which is actually pretty good coming from me. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The good: Short, easy to read. Mercy's writing is so fluent. It's definitely a good book to just sit down in read for the day. I like the rich lifestyle portrayed in the book. So yeah I'd recommend it for someone just looking for a quick read. I don't know, add it to a list for a readathon or something.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The bad: so. much. focus. on. sex. Ohmygoodness. Like okay! Teenagers do things other than party and have sex. The book centered around Kihanna's relationships for about 90% of the time. I was so worried at first when almost every new character introduced was a male who happened to have an interest in her. Love triangles are bad enough, we don't need a love hexagon thanks.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span> </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Overall: The last 10% is what is keeping me hopeful for book 2. Those last few chapters were a huge game changer for this series. </span></div>

No matter how she tries to deny it, Amelia Hoffman has a destiny. An evil plot threatens to destroy humanity and the future lies in her hands. To make things even more difficult, she is distracted by college, family squabbles and trying to decide between two men she loves.</div>

But destiny won’t be ignored for long.</div>
<br />
When an explosion tears through the Library that houses the entire history of the Otherworld, Amelia is thrust into action. She has to fight through the tension tearing the Otherworld apart to rally an army. As the danger grows, Amelia must rise to fulfill the prophecy.<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;">Elizabeth has a near crippling Facebook addiction, dwarfed only by her need for Dr. Pepper. A self-proclaimed <i>techno geek</i>, she loves cell phones, computers, tablets and all things technological. The internet has to be the greatest invention since the wheel, in her opinion. She lives in a quiet subdivision with her husband, one-year-old son, three cats, and far too many electronics. It’s quite possible she has some raccoon in her DNA, because she loves glitter and anything that sparkles. She enjoys making jewelry and costumes. Halloween is her favorite holiday since it’s the one day of the year that you can be whatever you want. But her first love will always be writing. Otherwise, hearing voices in her head would make her feel schizophrenic.</span></div>

<div class="yiv957331043MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong> </strong></span></div>
<div class="yiv957331043MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Mini Excerpt 1</strong></span></div>
<div class="yiv957331043MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">He breathed into my neck and his palms pushed gently on my hips, working my dress to the floor. I gave myself an inner high five when I remembered luckily this was one of those occasions I had worn my all-matching black lingerie. I shivered from the heat of his breath. My hands traced the muscles wrapping his torso and led down the path over his sculpted abs. There was just enough light for me to make out the vertical characters inked on his stomach. Whoa, that was hot! My hands kept moving and when I reached for his zipper, I stopped.</span></div>
<div class="yiv957331043MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">

<div class="yiv957331043MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Mini Excerpt 2</strong></span></div>
<div class="yiv957331043MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">His hand was on my arm, and then he stepped in closer. He put the other hand on my cheek and my body reacted with tingling sparks, snapping through my body when his burning mouth slowly melted into mine. I felt the familiar desire I had pushed down so many times desperately trying to break free inside me. With Finn there were never thoughts, just desire and instinct. He pulled me closer and tighter, holding on to me with everything in his being.</span></div>
<div class="yiv957331043MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong> </strong></span></div>
<div class="yiv957331043MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Mini Excerpt 3</strong></span></div>
<div class="yiv957331043MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">He brought both of his hands up to my face. The skin of his palms felt slightly rough, but warm. My eyes locked with his while his thumb softly traced across my lower lip. He leaned down and brushed his lips on mine and lingered, kissing me gently and deeply. I pressed my mouth to his, taking in his tongue and the taste of his mouth. He moved his hands over my body, wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close, so I was pressed hard against his body. I was melting into his embrace one inch of skin at a time. </span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1372821579784_2777" style="font-size: 12pt;">Stephanie fights reality every day. The voices inside, the ones declaring her worth, deem her broken, used and dirty. She is an object. A toy. Something to be tossed aside when bored. Who will believe her if she whispers the truth about her wrecking ball of a family? Eventually, her secret explodes and the person who means the most to her knows just how shattered she is and why she's so afraid. But rescue is closer than she realizes. Hidden in plain sight, her horror hasn’t been ignored by everyone. Racing against the truth of what she faces, forces are joining together and developing a plan to free her from the hell in her own backyard. And while she’s at her lowest point, she’s hit with the beauty of love at any cost - redemption in the face of ruin. Will it be enough?</span></div>

<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1372821579784_2780" style="font-size: 12pt;">Elora Ramirez lives in Austin, Texas with her chef-husband. At the age of four, she taught herself how to read and write, cutting her teeth on books like Dr. Suess and writing anywhere she could find the space—including her Fisher Price kitchen set, the pages of picture books and Highlights Magazine. Since then, she's grown to love the way words feel as they swell within her bones. Writing holy and broken is her calling, and pushing back the darkness and pursuing beauty through story is her purpose. She loves hip-hop, wishes she lived by the beach and cannot write without copious amounts of coffee, chocolate, and her husband's lavender liqueur.</span><br />

“Is there something on my face?” I asked, mid-wipe.<br />

<br />
“You’ve got a little…frosting…” He<br />

chuckled as he brought his hand up to my cheek and ran the gentle pad of his<br />

thumb over my now parted lips. He<br />
<br />
inspected his work and frowned. “I don’t<br />

think I got it all…” His voice was a low growl as he leaned in and kissed the<br />
<br />
corner of my lips; trailing feathery kisses at a teasingly slow place down to<br />
<br />
the center of my bottom lip, before sucking it all the way into his mouth. He nibbled on it softly while he tangled his<br />
<br />
hand into my hair and deepened the kiss. I was leaning into him, craving more<br />
<br />
of his touch with each second that passed.<br />
<br />
<br />
Jhett brought his other hand up to my cheek, cupped my face<br />
<br />
with both hands, and broke the kiss. I<br />
<br />
let out an unexpected whimper as he drew my forehead in to his. “Any more of that, and we won’t make it to<br />
<br />
the rest of your birthday presents,” he said between breaths.<br />
<br />
<br />
I sat back and folded my hands into my lap. “Well, if we get to do <i>that</i> again as one of them, I’m all about it,” I smirked at him.</blockquote>

Welcome to the South - where the tea is sweet and the accents are sweeter. This Southern way of life is all Charlie has ever known. It’s not until she loses the only person who pushed her to break free of the Southern Belle mold that she starts living the life she needs and not the life her parents forced on her.<br />
<br />
Jhett has lived on the edge for as long as he could remember - constantly teetering back and forth between being a rock star and living a normal life. His rebellious and sometimes arrogant attitude is known to get him into trouble, especially with the girls who hang on his every move.<br />
<br />
Charlie never thought that a trip to pack up her brother’s apartment would leave her feeling even more unsettled about the grainy details of her brother’s death. Her quest for information leads her straight to his old hangout and into arms of Jhett, who suspiciously knows more about her situation than he ever should. <br />
<br />
Only a few questions remain - Can you trust someone based on their word alone? And if you make a promise, how far will you go to keep it?<br />
My review:<br />
<br />This book was…perfect. Absolutely perfect.<br />
<br />Sarah’s writing style is easy and enjoyable to read. It’s one of those books you could easily sit down and read all day because it flows so well.<br />
<br />The characters are perfect, too. I say that, meaning…they’re human. Of course they have flaws. But you could relate to Charlie, or Jhett, or even Ginger. Charlie is probably one of my favorite main characters <em>ever</em>. Like Jhett says, she’s everything that’s good in life. She’s a character you could look up to. <br />
<br />And Jhett! Wowza! New book crush!! He’s this tough guy with a soft side and..how can you <em>not </em>fall in love with him?!<br />
<br />This is my first New Adult book I’ve read. I’ve got to say…I’m not disappointed. I’m glad this was my first. I hope to read many more NA books in the future. Especially from Sarah! I don’t think I’ve needed a sequel as much as this in my entire life!<br />
<br />I’d definitely recommend this book, which comes out tomorrow, June 17th! You can come back here for the release day post and links :)Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16478330038061356063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817334970929341802.post-34023096037668168022013-06-14T01:00:00.000-04:002013-06-14T01:00:04.645-04:00Cover Reveal: The Chalice of Malvron by Elisabeth Wheatley + Giveaway<em><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-LoUfbiufh_g/UbO8l5fSTDI/AAAAAAAABQg/hgnLzNtv2ss/s1600-h/Janir3%252520cover%252520draft006-1%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img align="left" alt="Janir3 cover draft006-1" border="0" height="320" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-vUBrouKNPlI/UbO8mWrBojI/AAAAAAAABQk/zllbegkZ87M/Janir3%252520cover%252520draft006-1_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; float: left; margin: 0px 16px 0px 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Janir3 cover draft006-1" width="208" /></a>The Chalice of Malvron</em> blurb: <em>A princess with no recollection of the past eight years. War on the horizon. Who to trust? Who to save?</em> Sixteen-year-old Janir Caersynn Argetallam wakes, sore and disoriented in the home city of her people, surrounded by relatives who seem concerned for her well-being. As she tries to recover, the Argetallams’ allies, the Stlavish, prepare to unleash a magical relic of untold power against the Argetallams’ age-old enemies, the Brevians. Janir watches silently from the sidelines until she meets a warrior elf and a strange wizard-boy who claim to know her and make her feel…confused. They claim that everything she’s been told is a lie, that her memories were stolen at the command of her father, the Lord Argetallam. As the eve of Brevia’s destruction draws closer, Janir finds herself with the power to stop the Stlavish. Conflicted and confused, she must decide whether she will allow Brevia to be conquered or if she will betray her father and destroy the relic—the Chalice of Malvron… <br />

I'm Scarlett Ryan.<br />
<br />
Yes, THAT Scarlett Ryan.<br />
<br />
I live an extraordinary life: millionaire rock star, owner of exotic cars, pictures of me in every magazine, millions of fans, and a name that is recognized world wide. It's supposed to be my dream come true. But, my life IS a fantasy, and I want real. I want exciting. I want... NORMAL. <br />
<br />
So, I moved from California to Florida, hoping to obtain some normalcy. Instead I find...<br />
<br />
Stephan Montgomery.<br />
<br />
He's an arrogant jerk. Seriously, I hate him. I swear if he tells me one more blonde joke, I will punch him... again... Unfortunately I can't stop thinking about him, or his gorgeous green eyes. Trust me, I know that he's bad for me. If only my heart would listen.<br />
I also find out that my parents have kept a LIFE CHANGING secret from me. I need to know the truth.<br />
<br />
The harder I strive for normal, the stranger things seem to get.<br />
<br />
Jaded is book 1 of the Rock Star trilogy<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17829876-faded">Goodreads description</a>:<br />
I left Hope – the only place I’ve ever felt at home. So now what? Where do I go from here?<br />
<br />
When I left, I didn’t just leave my home. I left my friends, my sisters, and Stephan… I just found them. I can’t lose them now.<br />
<br />
I know that I want to do MY music. I need to remember WHY I wanted to play music in the first place. And the only way to get that is by firing my dad, but that may be harder than I thought. <br />
<br />
On top of everything, I now have cameras following me around everywhere. Even my own home isn’t safe anymore. <br />
<br />
I’ve come to realize that normal will never be an option for me.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Duel Review:</u></strong> Okay I decided to do a duel review because I started Faded as soon as I finished Jaded and I felt it would be easier to write a review for both as one so as not to mix them up. Also, this is the first review I've written in a while so bear with me please.<br />
<br />
I am so torn between whether I love the series or not. On one hand, I couldn't put the books down. I read Jaded in one day which is unusual for me lately. On the other hand, I don't really like Scarlett.<br />
<br />
Scarlett, at first, seemed really snobby. "I'm Scarlett Ryan, everyone loves me blah blah blah". Then we get to know her and she's honestly a good person but extremely high maintenance. 6 inch heels everyday? Really? She'd have to go under the list of characters who I don't like but I care about. She's grown on me a bit.<br />
<br />
Then there's the romance. Okay I definitely expected there to be a love triangle, which there wasn't. And I'm so happy about that. I really love Stephan and Scarlett together, especially in book 1. Book 2 seemed to revolve too much about how much they wanted to have sex together but they wouldn't because of personal reasons. I think Stephan's a great guy for Scarlett, but I don't think she's ready for a relationship yet.<br />
<br />
I don't know much about the "rock star" industry so I can't really talk about how good of a portrayal Scarlett's life is. From what I do know, Mercy Amare does give a pretty good fictional display of this life style. I can't complain about that. I wish I knew how Scarlett sounded, though. Maybe Mercy will record some songs, yeah? ;)<br />
<br />
I don't really have much else to say without rambling. Overall, these were good books. If you're looking for a light read, pick up Jaded. That one is probably my favorite of the 2 (however, Faded left me wanting more by the end. I definitely need book 3 soon). <br />
<br />
Lastly, just give Mercy Amare's stories a chance. I've read a few of her other books and all I can say is: you'll definitely get attached to her characters.<br />

<b>What would you do to have the body of your dreams?</b><br />
<br />
Kiera hates being overweight and hides behind thick layers of clothing. One night, her friends present an opportunity that seems impossible to believe. With a single spell, she can have the thin physique she's always coveted.<br />
<br />
But all magic comes with a price: no sex or she'll revert back to her old body. Kiera accepts the cost. It's not like she has men lined up at her door. Obeying this one tiny rule isn't difficult at all—until the night she meets Cain, a were-tiger and a soldier with the Eternal Forces.<br />
<br />
When a slew of unexplained murders forces Kiera and Cain together, they'll have to face the horrors of their pasts. Will Kiera realize she is worth more than her outward appearance? Or will she make the wrong choice and lose everything—including her life?<br />

Joey made her dad a deathbed promise that she would become a doctor, and dedicate herself to fighting the very cancer that took his life. There’s just one problem -three years into her pre-med classes, she's struggling to stay on top of the curve, let alone prove she's dazzling enough to earn a spot in an Ivy League medical school. In a Hail Mary move, she throws a basic Business 101 class into her semester schedule, banking on a perfect score to boost her GPA. That is, until she’s paired for a final project with Hawk, the bartending, motorbike-riding, gorgeously bedheaded loser who falls asleep in class and communicates in one-word sentences. Hawk does whatever he wants, whenever he wants, which sets Joey on edge – in every possible way. As they get to know each other, her urge to scream at him is curbed only by her fantasies of tearing his clothes off. Soon those fantasies become reality, and Joey realizes Hawk makes her feel more fully herself than any of the rich boys her mother and sorority sisters approve of. But the promise to her father hangs over her head, and the harder Joey tries to succeed in her chosen career, the faster everything falls into a hopeless tailspin of bad grades, broken promises and guilt. It doesn't help to have Hawk sitting like a devil on her shoulder, insisting she should be free to live however she wants to live - like he does. The only thing Joey knows is that her neatly organized life is crushing her - and Hawk's bad attitude might be the only thing that can save her. <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17706061-subject-to-change" target="_blank">Goodreads</a><br />

After two years of runway modeling for easy cash, an accident shattered her lower leg bone and her self-esteem in just one swift fall. Ten months of no exercise, prescription steroids, comfort eating and yoga pants meant returning to campus as a size twelve instead of her former size two. When her gorgeous long-time friend with benefits sees her for the first time after her accident and snubs her in front of all her friends, Cat’s self-image hits rock bottom. Her sorority sisters all insist that she looks gorgeous, but all Cat sees is the roll of her stomach when she sits down, or the dimpling at the back of her thighs that wasn't there last year. Cat’s therapist prescribes something radical to stop the downward spiral - nude modeling for a nearby college's human form drawing classes. When Cat faces her fears and bares it all for the class, she realizes that she's posing naked in front the most gorgeous, buffest guy she's ever seen in her life. He asks her out after the class, and after one steamy night together, Cat's absolutely smitten. Nate’s pretty close to perfect – he takes Cat rock climbing when he discovers that it makes her feel strong and becomes a great chef after he learns that the perfect pesto sauce makes her swoon. Cat starts to feel like her old self again - confident and beautiful - as long as Nate's around. Even when he discourages her from entering the Real Woman Project, a design competition for plus-sized apparel, she reasons that he's just trying to prevent old body image wounds from splitting wide open again. But when Cat goes home with Nate for Thanksgiving, she discovers something shocking from his recent past that proves that he hasn’t always been so encouraging of women of all shapes and sizes. Cat has no idea what to think, but she does know one thing - this might destroy their relationship before it's even had a chance to get off the ground. Before Cat can figure out whether the real Nate is the sensitive, adoring guy she fell in love with, or an undercover asshole, she'll have to finally feel comfortable in her own skin - even if it means leaving him forever. <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17286268-picture-perfect" target="_blank">Goodreads</a> | <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/picture-perfect-alessandra-thomas/1114886163?ean=2940016360911" target="_blank">Barnes and Noble</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Picture-Perfect-ebook/dp/B00BYLQIQE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364230606&sr=8-1&keywords=Picture+Perfect+Alessandra+Thomas" target="_blank">Amazon</a> <b></b><br />
