2014 Book Love

I read so many beautiful books on 2014. I could go on for days about them but chances are I've already blogged my love for them to death. So I opted for a visual.

I was feeling wicked creative and uber lazy this morning, a fun combination I know LOL

I've been wanting to mess about with word clouds for ages, I'm not nearly as talented as so many others Ive seen, Jadence Wilkes did some amazing ones for her Beast Series as well as FreakShow. 

I'm learning 😜

First up is a mashup of my favourite Love stories the books that left me with that feel good, sighing in a glow of everlasting love... Happily ever after kind of books. 

Next I'm going dark & dirty... These are the filthy, panty melting, alpha male, tie me up and show me what a man you are kind of books :) ya... These are my faves. There is still the love and the sweetness but mostly it's going to push your boundaries on what you can handle. This is where the bad boys come to play... and we love every moment of it, even when it hurts.

  

Ok let's clean this shit up a bit... I confess... I am a LOVER of young adult fantasy & dystopian 😍

The angst, the torturous adventures through barren worlds of fantasy lands. It bring out the kid in me. Not gonna lie if there is a romance I am most likely screaming JUST DO IT AND GET IT OVER WITH! 

But these stories are gritty and dark and may be classified as YOUNG ADULT but they don't lack in amazing storylines and YA books have written the most insanely brave & strong female leads that some "grown up" books have yet to write. 

And to wrap it up and most likely forget to mention some author I obsessively love but somehow forgot to add their name.... 😳

Here's a tribute to some amazing authors that have shaped my reading in 2014. I have loved blogging and pimping your stories and look forward to 2015 and more amazing books :) 

And finally... I want to send out a shout out to the powers that bring these awesome books to me... 

The Book Promotions & Marketing. Thank you all for keeping my blog interesting & giving me my place in this awesome world of Indie Books ❤️ 

 

Perfectly Normal by. Jaden Wilkes

 

I have a mandatory 'cooling off' period after finishing a book, because when I finish a book I'm like a hopped up Cheerleader claiming "THIS IS THE GREATEST CREATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE  WORLD." but even after I slept on this book for two nights I am still smiling, there is still part of me is living in that world, and THAT is an awesome thing for a book geek like me.

Let's get to the point, Jaden Wilkes is a bad ass. The first book of hers I read was The Therapist, which is full of "WTF just happened! WTF did I just read!" moments so I will admit I was a wee bit scared to read this series but I like a challenge and I especially like twisted dark stories where there is little possibility of a happy ending so I pulled on my big girl panties and jumped in.

I loved the first book in the series The Beast with all it's dark and twisty bits and Perfectly Normal was such a great continuation of these three characters I love. It's a serious contender to knock Dark Duet  out as my favourite dark romance. 

Perfectly Normal is filthy, painful. Sexy and sweet. It will make you laugh, cry and scare the crap out of you and then turn you on. It is not a fluffy romance, it's broken people doing broken things. 

Columbia became this force of nature, like a little mini Dimi LOL fiercely loyal. I heard a whisper about a third book called "Little Dove" but don't hold me to that!

Dimitri was oh so sexy... Like shiver just thinking about him sexy. 

And the Concierge... he is my favourite... sigh.

Now don't get me wrong I LOVE Dimi he is a man in full but he's taken... Now the Concierge... I think I could show him a good time. We get to know him better and find out his name in this book! 

No spoilers, buy the book to find out!

I loved the way these three interacted with each other, it was funny seeing these two giant fierce men take care of her and her take care of them.

Let's take a moment to "sandwich" these three together... Ya... that's right... just like that.

The Concierge.

 Columbia.

 Dimitri.

Anyways... (No wait... I need another minute...)

Great story, strong meaningful characters, deep connections, suspense and sexy. 

ALL good things!
