Sum Up: (Goodreads)

Sick of being the only virgin among her friends, Bliss Edwards decides the best way to deal with the problem is to lose it as quickly and simply as possible - a one-night stand. But her plan turns out to be anything but simple when she freaks out and leaves a gorgeous guy alone and naked in her bed with an excuse that no one with half-a-brain would ever believe. And as if that weren't embarrassing enough, when she arrives for her first class of her last college semester, she recognizes her new theatre professor. She'd left him naked in her bed about 8 hours earlier.

Plot:

Soooooo... I had already read this book before and while I was waiting for my food at a restaurant, I was looking for a book to read on my e-reader. I saw Losing It and I was like "I remember this one!". I started reading again and I completely forgot how good it was.

Basically, Bliss is a student in her senior year. She is a virgin and even though it does nit bother her that much, she also convinces herself that the moment has come to cross that step. Kelsey - her best friend - insists that they go out so Bliss can pick out a guy and do THE thing. There, Bliss meets Garrick, an incredible handsome guy with a British accent. If I believed in love at first sight, my little sweeties, I would say they had a true love at first sight. She decides he is THE one (I feel you, girl!).

“He smiled, and I knew… I was in trouble.”

Plot:

Hey, sweeties! Back for the last book of this awesome series. So it starts exactly where Requiem left off, which means that during this book we will have a wedding, a birth and looooooads of fights! Yes, you read right: this book is suspens, fear and action non-stop. Let's say that this book is like a war book because that is what is actually happening. 

So technically Jared and Nina are still homeless, thus they stay with Cynthia. Her relationship to her mother is still quite complicated. Even at her wedding, her mother would never show her feelings. Yes, you read well; wedding! So Jared and Nina finally get married on this little island called Little Corn. However the wedding does not really go as planned. Michael interrupts the ceremony to seek redress for the murder of his Taleh (by Nina if you remember well). Nina fights for Jared and he is find innocent. They resumed the wedding and then come back to Providence. 

The first few months go very smoothly. But the closer Nina gets to her term, the tougher the demons become. At least, being pregnant of her guardian angel gives her some awesome "powers". She is now as tough as Claire, thus she can take care of herself. But even this is not enough and their trip to Jerusalem to bring back Shax's book has to be moved forward. Yes, the Sepulchre is actually the only safe place for Nina to be. 

The flight and the trip to the Sepulchre is not easy. It is a real war zone and unfortunately, some good lives will be lost... Trust me, little lambs, this book is quite a ride! Better be ready!

Requiem - Providence #2 - Jamie McGuire

15:07:00 Victoria 0 Comments

Sum Up: (Goodreads)

Dreaming of the dead might mean a restless night for anyone, but for Nina Grey it was a warning. 


Still healing from her last run-in with Hell, Nina struggles with not only her life as a Brown University student, but also as an intern at Titan Shipping, her father's company. Recurring nightmares about her father's violent death have become a nightly event, but being overwhelmed with guilt from Ryan's unexpected departure to the Armed Forces, and heart ache over Claire being across the ocean to protect him, Nina believes her sleepless nights are the least of her problems—but she's wrong.



Worried about Nina's declining health, Jared must steal back Shax's book for answers. Fighting new enemies, and with the help of new friends, Jared's worst fear comes to fruition. Desperate, he is faced with a choice: Fight Hell alone, or start a war with Heaven.

Plot:

And here we are, back with our favorite YA couple! It starts almost right after the end of the first book and unfortunately, it looks like Jared and Nina do not have time to catch a breath. Nina is now an intern in her own company where she is also CEO, she has classes and she also needs to understand what lies behind her nightmares. Yes, you are right! Every night Nina has been having quite some awful nightmares where Gabe and Jack steal Shax’s book. They keep saying that it is to save Nina. The ending is always the same: Jack dies in the most awful way: torn apart by demons.  
Time passes and the nightmares gain in intensity.  Jared needs to find a solution very quickly. Thus, he stops at nothing to try to take back Shax’s book to find out which prophecy concerns Nina and how he can help her. With Kim’s help (yes, she is actually not really human), they will stop at nothing to get this book and bring it back to Jerusalem where it will remain unreachable for Shax and at the same time, read it to understand what the new threat is.
But the mission is getting harder and harder when Heaven won’t step up and they will cross paths of other guardian angels from the bad side (yes, there are also guardian angels for bad guys. Unfair, right?). If they kill one of them, they may face a war with Heaven. Do you get the picture?

So between flats burning down, nightmares going on and on, friends who reveal themselves… It is quite tough to remain sane. Oh! And there is a little cliffhanger at the end that makes us want to read the third book straight!

Sum Up: (Goodreads)

Struggling with her father's death, Nina meets Jared Ryel, presumably by chance. However it soon becomes clear that he knows more about her than even close friends. When her father's former associates begin following her in the dark, Nina learns that her father was not the man she thought he was, but a thief who stole from demons. In searching for the truth behind her father's death, she stumbles upon something she never expected, and something Hell wants, that only she holds the key for. Jared risks everything to keep the women he was born to save, by sharing the secret he was sworn to protect.

Plot:

This is basically how the story starts: Nina is a student at Brown who just lost her dad. No need to say that she is utterly devastated and her world is about to be turned upside down. 
That exact same day she meets Jared – a 23 year-old guy who tries to cheer her up a little bit. In the next days, they repeatedly bump into each other as if Fate kept bringing them together. He is probably the kindest and the most loving person ever (I didn't tell you yet about his smile, did I?) 
Anyway, in spite of his exceptional personality, there seems to be many mysteries surrounding him and he never says a single thing about himself. Where does his strength come from? How does he constantly know when Nina is in danger? 
Little did Nina know that Jared is actually her guardian angel and had never been able to get close to her before as their respective fathers had forbid it. And yet, Jared has been in love with her for years.
When he decides to share his secret, nothing will be the same for Nina and Jared. More and more questions will come up, leaving the both of them fighting for what they truly want.

Beyond the Highlands Mist - The Highlander #1 - Karen Marie Moning

11:45:00 Victoria 0 Comments

Sum Up (Goodreads):


He would sell his warrior soul to possess her...

An alluring laird...

He was known throughout the kingdom as Hawk, legendary predator of the battlefield and the boudoir. No woman could refuse his touch, but no woman ever stirred his heart—until a vengeful fairy tumbled Adrienne de Simone out of modern-day Seattle and into medieval Scotland. Captive in a century not her own, entirely too bold, too outspoken, she was an irresistible challenge to the sixteenth-century rogue. Coerced into a marriage with Hawk, Adrienne vowed to keep him at arm's length—but his sweet seduction played havoc with her resolve.

A prisoner in time...

She had a perfect "no" on her perfect lips for the notorious laird, but Hawk swore she would whisper his name with desire, begging for the passion he longed to ignite within her. Not even the barriers of time and space would keep him from winning her love. Despite her uncertainty about following the promptings of her own passionate heart, Adrienne's reservations were no match for Hawk's determination to keep her by his side...
