My Teaser:

Title: Hard As It Gets (Hard Ink, #1)
Author: Laura Kaye
Publisher: Avon
Release date: November 26, 2013

Five dishonored soldiers.
Former Special Forces.
One last mission.
These are the men of Hard Ink.

Tall, dark, and lethal...

Trouble just walked into Nicholas Rixey's tattoo parlor. Becca Merritt is warm, sexy, wholesome--pure temptation to a very jaded Nick. He's left his military life behind to become co-owner of Hard Ink Tattoo, but Becca is his ex-commander's daughter. Loyalty won't let him turn her away. Lust has plenty to do with it too.

With her brother presumed kidnapped, Becca needs Nick. She just wasn't expecting to want him so much. As their investigation turns into all-out war with an organized crime ring, only Nick can protect her. And only Becca can heal the scars no one else sees.

Desire is the easy part. Love is as hard as it gets. Good thing Nick is always up for a challenge...

"Be the First to Fall" for Courtney Cole's Before We Fall

People, there's only a week and a day left until everyone will finally be able to read about bad boy, Dom! Cole's leading males are some of my most favorite and Dom... mmm-hmm, he's something else! I can't wait for all of you to meet him and fall hard! ;p

About the book:

Title: Before We Fall (Beautifully Broken, #3)
Author: Courtney Cole
Publisher: Forever
Release date: December 3, 2013

In the bestselling tradition of J.A. Redmerski and Jessica Sorensen come the next novel in Courtney Cole's New York Times bestselling Beautifully Broken Series...

Sometimes before we fall . . . we fly.

One dark moment was all it took to turn twenty-four-year-old Dominic Kinkaide's world black. On the night of his high school graduation, a single incident changed him forever, and he became a hardened man-famous in the eyes of the world, but tortured inside. Now all he cares about is losing himself in the roles that he plays.

At twenty-three years old, Jacey Vincent doesn't realize how much her father's indifference has affected her. She is proof that sometimes it isn't one specific moment that wrecks a person, but an absence of moments. She tries to find acceptance in the arms of men to fill the void-a plan that has worked just fine for her, until she meets Dominic.

When jaded Dominic and strong-willed Jacey are thrown together, the combination of his secrets and her issues turns their attraction into the perfect storm. It could change their lives for good-if it doesn't tear them both apart . . .

Drift Blog Tour: Excerpt

Welcome to my stop on the Drift Blog Tour hosted by InkSlinger PR. I am most thrilled to be on this tour because I adore Steph and Liz and I am so... all about this amazing series! Seriously. There's just so much that I love about it that I can't even!

After I finished Ties, I got my fangirl crayon and enthusiastically expressed my love to Steph and Liz and practically begged them to gimme, gimme, gimme more! So, when I heard that Enzo was getting a book, I nearly went to the psych ward. When I heard that Lydia was getting a book, by the time I finished fangirling, I ended up in the psych ward. ;p I'm so happy that majority of the cast of Silver Strand got a chance to tell us their stories because this amazing and wonderful group of characters is so super duper special to my heart.

I am so sad that this will be the end for them but... I'm definitely satisfied and content with where each of their lives ended up; it couldn't have been more perfect for each one of them.

Aah, before I get all mushy, let's get to today's post!

Even though the official day for my blogoversary has come to pass, I'm still celebrating because the weeks following my very first blog post are still worthy of celebration, yaknow? Well, I think so, anyway. Or, I just want a reason to celebrate, so here we are!

Today's post will be the last of my author features and I'm so excited to close it out with the one and only, Jennifer L. Armentrout, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Covenant and Lux series. JLA will always have a very special place in my heart. I feel as though we both started out at the same time and it makes my heart so happy and warm and fuzzy to see how far she's come and how much she's accomplished! It blows my mind; she's truly epic and oh-so-very amazing!

Every single book she writes is pure gold, no joke! If you're ever looking for a book that will never disappoint, JLA is your gal! I haven't read every single one of her books, but from what I have read, I've loved 'em all; she's totally turned me into a fan for life!

Four Seconds to Lose Blog Tour: Guest Post + Giveaway

Welcome to my stop on the Four Seconds to Lose Blog Tour hosted by InkSlinger PR. For today's stop, I've got an awesome guest post by K.A. Tucker to share with all of you as well as the tour wide giveaway, so do not go anywhere because there's a lot of epic going on here! Let's get to it!

About the book:

Title: Four Seconds to Lose (Ten Tiny Breaths, #3)
Author: K.A. Tucker
Publisher: Atria Books
Release date: November 4, 2013

When a gorgeous young dancer walks through his door, a strip club owner must decide whether to follow his rules or his heart in the third novel by the author of Ten Tiny Breaths and One Tiny Lie.

Owning a strip club isn’t the fantasy most guys expect it to be. With long hours, a staff with enough issues to keep a psych ward in business, and the police regularly on his case, twenty-nine-year-old Cain is starting to second guess his unspoken mission to save the women he employs. And then blond, brown-eyed Charlie Rourke walks through his door, and things get really complicated. Cain abides by a strict “no sleeping with the staff” rule. But being around Charlie challenges Cain’s self-control…and it’s been a long time since any woman has done that.

Twenty-two-year-old Charlie Rourke needs a lot of money, really fast, in order to vanish before it’s too late. Taking her clothes off for men makes her stomach curl but Charlie tells herself that at least she’s putting her acting and dancing skills to good use. And though her fellow dancers seem eager to nab their sexy, sophisticated, and genuinely caring boss, she’s not interested. After all, Charlie Rourke doesn’t really exist—and the girl pretending to be her can't get distracted by romance.

Unfortunately, Charlie soon discovers that developing feelings for Cain is inevitable, and that those feelings may not be unrequited—but losing him when he finds out what she’s involved with will be more painful than any other sentence awaiting her.

Turns 3 tab located in my right sidebar.

Even though the official day for my blogoversary has come to pass, I'm still celebrating because the weeks following my very first blog post are still worthy of celebration, yaknow? Well, I think so, anyway. Or, I just want a reason to celebrate, so here we are!

First off, my blogoversary celebration is coming to a close! I mean, it probably felt never-ending to some (or most) of you but it gave my heart all the warm and fuzzies that I was able to feature every single person that stopped by Books Over Boys. You guys don't know how much that meant the world to me! Aack, I'll save all the mushy-gushy-it's-all-coming-to-an-end speech for the last day. ;p

For today's feature, I've got the fabulous Kelly Oram, author of the super awesome Jamie Baker series and the adorable Avery Shaw Experiment, here to add to all the fun we've been having! Being Jamie Baker was one of the books that I came across before I even created Books Over Boys. I remember browsing the net, coming across the super duper bomb book trailer, and immediately wanting to dive in!

When I finally got the chance, I devoured it in one enormous bite! It was that good! Ever since then, I've been a fan. The one thing about Oram that never fails to keep you coming back (well, me anyway) when you open up any of her books is how well she captures her characters' voices. She's got that down straight to a tee! To me, it's definitely what differentiates her from all the other authors.

Earlier this year, I noticed that Oram was releasing another stand-alone that sounded super cyoot. When it came out, I remember getting into bed, starting the book and... not stopping until four short hours (FOUR! I can't believe it. I don't normally keep track but it was so good, I read straight through the night) later when I flipped to the very last page. And that book was The Avery Shaw Experiment. If you've yet to check that one out, I highly recommend it!

Kelly Oram's books are always a joy to read and I always have my eye on what she's whipping up next, so it's a huge pleasure to have her here today!

Even though the official day for my blogoversary has come to pass, I'm still celebrating because the weeks following my very first blog post are still worthy of celebration, yaknow? Well, I think so, anyway. Or, I just want a reason to celebrate, so here we are!

For today's feature, I've got the sweet and lovely, Nyrae Dawn, author of so, so, so many of my all-time favorites, here to join in the celebration! Back in 2012, I discovered Dawn's What A Boy Wants and ever since then, I have read most (with the exception of three, I believe) of her books. I just can't help it and I don't think you would be able to either once you pick up a Nyrae Dawn book.

When I picked up What A Boy Wants, the one thing that totally and completely captivated me about Dawn and her amazing story-telling was how well she was able to get inside the male POV. To this day, WABW and WABN are still two of my top male POV novels! They're amazing and so, so, so good!

Fast forward to June of this year when I fell madly, truly, and deeply head over heels in crazy stupid love with Facade. I'm not the fastest reader out there so I haven't read a ton of books this year but out of the ones I did read, there are six that are my absolute top favorites of 2013. Out of those six, Facade takes the lead, no doubt about it. I was so overwhelmed and thoroughly consumed by it that thus far, no other book has been able to shake it. I love it damn hardcore!

Needless to say, Nyrae Dawn is an all-time favorite author and I am so happy she let me feature her today as a part of my blogoversary! She's the best and I heart her!

For today's feature, I've got the amazing and wonderful Jordan Deen, author of one of my all time favorite werewolf series, The Crescent, here to join in the fun! I discovered Deen back in early 2011. Actually, my sister discovered Deen first. She read The Crescent and Half Moon back in late 2010, early 2011. I remember she would always text me and swoon all over Brandon and Alex and I especially remember her being all torn up about both of them!

Because she was hung up so hardcore, when my birthday rolled around in March, she got both books for me and because I was so darn stoked, I read both of them during my birthday weekend. And because my sister's taste never fails, I fell madly in love with Deen's series. Like... I fell really hard! To this day, I still rave that it's one of the best werewolf series of all time! But... I'm well aware that that might just be me. ;p

I am dying for the last and final book in the series. I don't even think Deen is aware of how much I need this book. I need to know where Lacey's story will go and how it will end and just... all of it! So, Jordan, pretty please get this baby in my hands!

It's a pleasure to have her here today and it means the most to me! So, without further ado...

The fabulous New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author returns with a sizzling, funny, and deeply emotional tale of passion and secrets, deception and forgiveness.

A matter of secrets . . .

Undercover cop Logan "Kash" Ryan can't afford a distraction like his new neighbor Rachel Masters, even if she's the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. To catch a serial killer, he needs to stay focused, yet all he can think about is the feisty, long-legged coed whose guarded nature intrigues him.

A matter of lies . . .

Deceived and hurt before, Rachel would rather be a single, crazy cat lady than trust another guy, especially a gorgeous, tattooed bad boy with a Harley, like Kash. But when his liquid-steel eyes meet hers, it takes all of Rachel's willpower to stop herself from exploring his hot body with her own.

A matter of love . . .

As much as they try to keep it platonic, the friction between them sparks an irresistible heat that soon consumes them. Can Kash keep Rachel's heart and her life safe even as he risks his own? Will she be able to forgive his lies . . . or will she run when she discovers the dangerous truth?

Publisher: Accendo Press
Release date: October 20, 2013

When 22-year-old Summer Stafford’s parents split halfway through her senior year at college, Summer’s world is rocked. Everything she thought she knew—heck, everything she thought she wanted for her own life—feels like a lie. The truth is love is a risk. And the true kind, the kind that lasts, might even be a fairy tale.

Reeling from the divorce, Summer derails her own future by breaking up with her parent-approved boyfriend and giving up her lifelong plans for a big-city career. She moves back home, business degree in hand. Dad needs her to fill the gaps her mother left behind; Summer needs to find who she is outside of the cookie-cutter life that failed so miserably for her parents.

Ford O’Neal’s future involves one person: himself. He doesn’t have a permanent address and he definitely doesn’t commit. To a place or a person. Raised by hippies, he plans just far enough ahead to secure his next stop, this one landing him at a work-study program at Heritage Plantation where he can grow his own herbal and medicinal creations.

Summer is gorgeous and smart and fun to be with, the perfect way to pass five months. It won’t be love—Ford’s got too many things to accomplish, too many places to go, before he settles down. Yet Summer pulls him in, challenging him to rethink his own philosophy.

When Ford’s five months are up, each of them must decide if love is really worth the risk.

About the book:

Title: Beyond Control (Beyond Love, #1)
Author: Karice Bolton
Publisher: Bulldog Press
Release date: October 10, 2013

Gabby Sullivan learns in college that some things are impossible to control, and whenever life has spun out of control bad things seem to happen. She promises herself that she’ll stay a safe distance from the top three culprits:

Sex
Love
Relationships

But some things are beyond control…

Gabby handles her mom’s death and brother’s sudden abandonment just about as well as anyone could at the age of twelve. Left feeling alone, she finishes high school, developing a bit of a wild streak, and lives like there’s no tomorrow. That is until an illness stops her in her tracks. Learning to control life around her becomes her comfort. With a visible scar that reminds her and the world that she beat the odds, it’s impossible for her to put everything behind her, no matter how hard she tries.

Right out of college she begins working at her family’s company and buries herself in the safety of the corporate world. No extra time, no life, no relationships. It’s safe to say she might be a little demanding and overly ambitious, but she’s got everything under control, just how she likes it.

Jason’s been trying to piece his life together after a personal tragedy, only it’s not working. He’s thrown himself into his work, but he’s only becoming angrier. He’ll never forgive himself and doesn’t expect anyone else to either.

When the back of his vehicle is clipped by an obnoxious limo driver he can’t wait to let the driver have it until he hears Gabby’s voice coming from inside the sedan. There’s something soothing about it, something familiar.

The moment she sees him, she knows her life will never be the same. But she doesn’t know why. He’s everything she said she never wanted. He’s cocky, arrogant, and infuriating. With his dazzling amber eyes, dark hair and chiseled features she can hardly remember where she’s going, let alone where she’s been and maybe that’s a good thing. She begins to let him show her what life could be, if she really lived it.

Neither wants their past to define their future, but sometimes destiny has something else in store. It’s only as their love grows and secrets are revealed that they realize a devastating connection from their past might actually tear them apart.

Even though the official day for my blogoversary has come to pass, I'm still celebrating because the weeks following my very first blog post are still worthy of celebration, yaknow? Well, I think so, anyway. Or, I just want a reason to celebrate, so here we are!

For today's feature, I've got the awesome and bad-ass Leah Clifford, author of the epic Touch Trilogy, here to join in the celebration! Clifford is another author that I discovered shortly after I came into the blog world. Her novel, A Touch Mortal, was met with a bit of uncertainty because of all the mixed feels from everyone who had already read it. Even my sister was a bit unsure and lost about it and I trust her but... eventually, I said screw what everyone's saying because they iz not me and I iz not them. ;p

Of course, I loved it and it blew my mismatched socks off! Although, I have yet to finish the series, lol. I fail. Anyway, I got the chance to meet Clifford a few months back (months as in last year, I think) and it's certified that she's just as awesome offline as she is online. More so, even. I was starstruck and amazed just being in her presence. Btw, she's got a ton of epic stories to tell and I could seriously listen to her tell stories all day, every day. By the end of the night, I left thinking, "Man, she's got such a cool life!" No joke.

It's so special and cool that she agreed to stop by my humble abode to help celebrate my three years! It definitely means a whole bunch of honey oats to me! So, without further ado...
