Blog Tour: Thanks a Lot, John LeClair | Author Guest Post by Johanna Parkhurst

Hi guys! Today I’m part of the blog tour for Thanks a Lot, John LeClair by Johanna Parkhurst. Johanna’s publicist reached out to me about this book because of my total love for sports YA books. In this YA contemporary, two gay hockey players have to deal with their relationship, secrets and more – all amidst the backdrop of the state championship. As some of you know, I’m a huge fan of M/M hockey romances by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, so I was really excited to see a YA version pop up. Thanks a Lot, John LeClair is the companion […]

Early Review: Time After Time by Tamara Ireland Stone

Time After Time (Time Between Us #2) Author: Tamara Ireland Stone (website | twitter) Publisher: Disney-Hyperion Source: eARC provided by publisher on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review Publication date: October 8, 2013 (tomorrow!) My rating: 4.25 out of 5 stars Calling Anna and Bennett’s romance long distance is an understatement: she’s from 1995 Chicago and he’s a time traveler from 2012 San Francisco. The two of them never should have met, but they did. They fell in love, even though they knew they shouldn’t. And they found a way to stay together, against all odds. It’s not a perfect arrangement, […]

And so he becomes Henry David-or “Hank” and takes first to the streets, and then to the only destination he can think of–Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. Cal Armistead’s remarkable debut […]

And he’s…a force to be reckoned with. He’s a thief who tries to help people occasionally – he still takes money, but from the first moment you meet him, you see that he’s got a bit of a hero complex. He’s layered, he’s emotionally damaged, and he’s living on the streets because he’s had some MAJOR family drama. You really want […]
