I’ve been obsessed with the famous baker since I was far too young to fall in love with a man so much older. My family thinks it’s an innocent celebrity crush, but what they don’t know is I’ve been saving myself for this stone cold silver fox. And now, to everyone’s disbelief, I’ve got my chance. There’s only one problem that I hope he doesn’t notice: I’m a terror in the kitchen.

Quotes
I don’t know the first thing about baking, except as a spectator sport. But I do know one thing. One day I’m going to marry that man.
Unfortunately, I can’t spank an American on worldwide television, but I take solace in the prospect of figuratively paddling a cocky colonist into submission.
It beats for no one and nothing until you showed up in my garden last night.
May 20-27 Three of them, one of her, and a remote cabin in the woods. Let the hot, winter nights ensue…
Tiernan de Haas doesn’t care about anything anymore. The only child of a film producer and his starlet wife, she’s grown up with wealth and privilege but not love or guidance. Shipped off to boarding schools from an early age, it was still impossible to escape the loneliness and carve out a life of her own. The shadow of her parents’ fame followed her everywhere.
And when they suddenly pass away, she knows she should be devastated. But has anything really changed? She’s always been alone, hasn’t she?
Jake Van der Berg, her father’s stepbrother and her only living relative, assumes guardianship of Tiernan who is still two months shy of eighteen. Sent to live with him and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in the mountains of Colorado, Tiernan soon learns that these men now have a say in what she chooses to care and not care about anymore.
As the three of them take her under their wing, teach her to work and survive in the remote woods far away from the rest of the world, she slowly finds her place among them.
And as a part of them.
She also realizes that lines blur and rules become easy to break when no one else is watching.
One of them has her.
The other one wants her.
But he…
He’s going to keep her.
Review : I really enjoyed this book it was a fun read this is about Tiernan who’s parents committed suicide . Her parents were famous but they also didn’t care a lot about her so she goes to stay with her step uncle and cousins . She’s hurt by her parents not caring enough to write her a note or something and then things start happening with all the guys. Tiernan looses her virginity to Jake and then when he went fishing she has sex with Noah and Kaleb . Kaleb is mute and kinda intense and she ends up falling for Kaleb . He goes up to the fishing cabin for awhile and her and Noah go and get him . There was a fire awhile back and the guy who started it came back to mostly blackmail her what a nut job. Tiernan ends up leaving and going back to LA and Noah shows up there he got a sponsorship to do racing . Jake and Kaleb also show up . Kaleb ends up speaking to her he practiced for six weeks I loved this book the ending was super cute with them five years later having a baby .
Quote : Do these men ever get completely dressed? Women survive with the heat and sweat all the time without discarding our clothing
This is why I’m better alone. I don’t have to feel all these things all the time. Embarrassment, shame, guilt… If you don’t put yourself out there, you don’t hurt.
Everyone contemplates suicide at some point, even if it’s just for a minute. And one thing is usually the root cause. Loneliness.
His light chuckle carries as I quickly disappear from his sight. Asshole. But then I stop, noticing. He laughed. Out loud. It wasn’t much, but I heard his deep voice. He’s growled or grunted a few times, but he let me hear him laugh
Let’s not be friends. Let’s fight and laugh and make babies someday and go insane, because I’m fucking in love with you.
Oh, the irony. Six months ago, I ran from a life of people who wouldn’t talk to me and ended up falling for a guy who may never say a word to me.
I can’t believe you’re here,” I tell him just above a whisper. “You actually left Colorado.” “It was time,” he says.
“I love you,” I tell him. He touches his nose to mine. “I love you, too.”
Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.
A Duty
The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.
A Kingdom
Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.
Review : I loved this book it was sexy and intense . Hawke and poppy have so much chemistry.
This is about poppy who is a maiden who is destination is for the gods and for her to ascended but she isn’t to sure she wants to do that . One day she visits the red pearl and she meets Hawke a guard things get kinda hot between them but she is wearing a mask so he doesn’t know who she is . There are these creatures called the craven and she and her guard Victor help them pass peacefully. There is this prince who wants poppy dead he’s called the dark one . There have been more craven attacks and one of poppy guards was killed and she was there to witness it . Hawke ends up being her new guard . The Duke is an asshole who gives poppy lessons what a complete asshole . Poppy and Hawke get more closer and he tells her he knew it was her at the red pearl they end up kissing and then there is this attack that happens and the Duke is dead and Victor gets killed and poppy kills this lord who is asshole . Hawke and more of poppy guard take her to get to the Queen . But things happen along the way poppy and Hawke end up having sex . Poppy discovers Hawke is a vampyr and that he is actually prince Casteel aka the dark one. This book was so good can’t wait to start the second one .
Quotes : Purity? I hated that word, the meaning behind it. As if my virginity determined my goodness, my innocence, and its presence or lack thereof was somehow more important than the hundred choices I made every day.”
“That was very naughty,” Hawke chided, snatching the sword out of my hand as if I hadn’t been holding onto it. “You are so incredibly violent.” He dipped his chin and whispered, “It still turns me on.”
Promise me you won’t forget this, Poppy. That no matter what happens tomorrow, the next day, next week, you won’t forget this, forget that this was real”
With my sword and with my life, I vow to keep you safe, Penellaphe,” he spoke, voice deep and smooth, reminding me of rich, decadent chocolate. “From this moment until the last moment, I am yours.”
You’re an absolutely stunning, murderous little creature.”
A magical island. A dangerous task. A burning secret.
Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life. At forty, he lives in a tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. As a Case Worker at the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth, he spends his days overseeing the well-being of children in government-sanctioned orphanages.
When Linus is unexpectedly summoned by Extremely Upper Management he’s given a curious and highly classified assignment: travel to Marsyas Island Orphanage, where six dangerous children reside: a gnome, a sprite, a wyvern, an unidentifiable green blob, a were-Pomeranian, and the Antichrist. Linus must set aside his fears and determine whether or not they’re likely to bring about the end of days.
But the children aren’t the only secret the island keeps. Their caretaker is the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, who will do anything to keep his wards safe. As Arthur and Linus grow closer, long-held secrets are exposed, and Linus must make a choice: destroy a home or watch the world burn.
An enchanting story, masterfully told, The House in the Cerulean Sea is about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place—and realizing that family is yours

Quotes : We should always make time for the things we like. If we don’t, we might forget how to be happy.”
Hate is loud, but I think you’ll learn it’s because it’s only a few people shouting, desperate to be heard. You might not ever be able to change their minds, but so long as your remember you’re not alone, you will overcome.”
A home isn’t always the house we live in. It’s also the people we choose to surround ourselves with. You may not live on the island, but you can’t tell me it’s not your home. Your bubble, Mr. Baker. It’s been popped. Why would you allow it to grow around you again?”
When something is broken, you can put it back together. It may not fit quite the same, or work like it did once before, but that doesn’t mean it’s no longer useful.”
People suck, but sometimes, they should just drown in their own suckage without our help.
I’m afraid I don’t have magic.” “You do, Mr. Baker. Arthur told me
Your voice is a weapon. Never forget that.”
Change often starts with the smallest of whispers. Like-minded people building it up to a roar.”
Zoe choked on a laugh. “Come on. Let’s leave the dumb adults to it. We absolutely will go inside and start dinner and not watch them through the windows.” “Ooh,” Talia said. “I get it. Yes, let’s go watch—I mean, make dinner.”
April 10-28 Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel—The Vipers.
They run this town and everyone in it. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses.
Yes, sold me.
They own me now.
I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant. These men, they look at me with longing. Their scarred, blood-stained hands holding me tight. They want everything I am, everything I have to give, and won’t stop until they get just that. They can own my body, but they will never have my heart.
The Vipers? I’m going to make them regret the day they took me.
This girl? She bites too.

Quotes : When you fuck with Vipers, you get fangs. That poor little girl has no idea what’s coming her way…
Jesus, Roxy, what the fuck happened?” “That one called me a broad, that one broke the furniture, I didn’t like the other two’s faces.”
Roxxane, I’m Ryder Viper,” he introduces himself. I ignore his use of Roxxane, no one calls me that. A shiver goes through me. Viper. As in the fucking nut jobs that run the city? The goddamn mafia who controls everything? No wonder the police freaked, they’re in their pocket. So are the judges and the mayor. Shit, this is serious. “That’s Diesel.” He nods to the blond who’s licking the flames from a lighter. “Kenzo.” He gestures to the one who looks like him. “And Garrett.” “Well, nice to fucking meet you. Want to tell me why you had goons come here and attack me last night?”
Diesel is a fucking mad dog, Ryder is an arrogant asshole, and Kenzo is a charming psychopath…I can’t figure Garrett out.
You want a drink, darling?” he calls, and I snap my eyes to his to see he’s turned and is smirking at me. “Or just to drool instead?” Asshole.
I thought I would try and scare him in his sleep like he does me, it didn’t work.” I laugh. “What did he do?” “Slapped me with his cock.” I gawk and then burst into laughter. She grins but props her hand on her hip. “Seriously, Garrett, whose first thought is to slap an intruder with their cock?” She throws her hands in the air. “He probably knew it was you, also, it would certainly stop me if I was trying to kill or rob him.”
We are Vipers, love. We bite, and we never stop hunting.”
Diesel puts on his bright purple fanny pack, complete with a sparkly unicorn on the front. I don’t question it, because we honestly don’t have time for his crazy.
I love her,” I state seriously, and Ryder laughs. “You fucking better. Nobody else is putting up with your crazy ass
I’m surprised you haven’t asked about the fanny pack,” I scoff to her. She looks at me with a grin. “On the list of weird, crazy shit Diesel does, that’s pretty low, plus he looks cute.” D snorts, and she sighs. “Fine, you look hot as hell. I can barely keep my hands to myself. The sparkling unicorn really brings out the crazy in your eyes,” she deadpans
Now the nation’s fate rests with a broken Sun Summoner, a disgraced tracker, and the shattered remnants of a once-great magical army.

It’s official. I, Ainsley James, am crazy. Desperate and crazy. It’s the only explanation as to why I’m nauseous, standing outside Maverick Lexington’s door. I mean, it’s possible the stories about his deck of playing cards—with the words IOU scrawled across the back—are just rumors of the ruthless quid pro quo deals he barters. But the flutters in my stomach know better. Maverick is as cold as they come. But, I need one of those cards. I NEED to owe Maverick Lexington a favor… Whatever the terms, I’m willing to pay. Because, at this point, I have nothing left to lose.
Review: I absolutely loved this book it was funny , sweet and cute. So this is about Ainsley she catches her boyfriend and roommate sleeping together and ended up throwing a candle which causes the fire department to be called which starts a caring friendship with a firefighter Ainsley calls boss. Then there is Maverick who is a known legend on campus for having deals or known IOUS .While working at her job Ainsley gets pissed at Maverick even though she didn’t know it was him she had no apartment and was crashing at the firehouse he told her his food was cold and to heat it up and she ended up spilling the food on his lap. Then she hears about Maverick and she makes a deal with him and she has to stay with him . There they start a friendship kinda with underlying sexual tension. They start to get closer in a way she calls him on his shit . Then something happens with Maverick and she brings him to the hospital he has a heart issue. They both start caring for each other deeper and they start fooling around and they love each other but haven’t said it yet . But then Tucker the asshole he is tells Ainsley that he made a deal with Maverick to get Taylor famous which he did just not in the way she wanted . Ainsley goes to the fire department see the firefighter Boss knew Maverick cause before he met Ainsley Maverick had another heart issue and Boss was the one to show up so he had Maverick have Ainsley stay with him but he didn’t expect to fall for her .A few years pass and Ainsley is working with the sea lions and Maverick is a Ceo . Maverick proposes to Ainsley and Ainsley has a surprise for him she’s pregnant aww so cute I loved it .
Quotes: He drops one of his massive arms and rubs a spot just above—ah damn, his nipple is pierced. Not to mention the whole right side of his ribs are covered in a massive tribal tattoo. Even on his left, a smaller tattoo wraps from his back and ends on his stomach, teasing me to gaze longingly at the ridiculous set of six-pack abs between them. Why is life not fair?
I’m just saying,” I continue, slapping another piece of pizza on my plate. “I’m not one of those girls who won’t eat in front of a man. I honestly don’t care what men think of me anymore.”
Dude, did you know there’s a chick floating in our beer pool?” I sigh, closing my laptop, and rub my temples. I knew I shouldn’t have left her alone. When I came out of the shower, she was gone. I assumed she heeded my warning. Evidently, not. “Where?” He doesn’t look at me. “On the sidewalk. Her feet are propped up on the hood of your car, and I’m pretty sure she’s chugging wine from a box.” I’m going to kill her.
I just noticed your back pocket looked a little thin this afternoon.” All right, fine. I was looking at his ass. It’s quite the firm masterpiece. Round and curved up into the perfect half-moon. Sue me. A girl can look.
“I think you keep these scary rumors going on around you, so no one will find out you’re really a water drinking trivia nerd.” See? Observant little thing. “Are you making fun of me for being smart?”
I’ll take the fact that you do actually have a heart to the grave,” I return, crossing my heart.
When he’s finally in and settled, I speed off to the nearest hospital, trying to ignore his shitty remarks. “I would have been better off dying in the apartment. At least then, my family would have a body to bury. The way you’re driving, and your history with fire, we’re sure to end up a pile of ash.”
What I wanted was ice cream and dick with a side of mac and cheese. So here we are.
Ainsley James is mine and there’s no way I’ll ever let her go.
March 1-13 Wanted: One roommate to share a 3-bedroom house, split the rent, and ideally not be the guy I can’t stop thinking about.

Seeking: A room to rent in town. I’m tidy, have no pets, and I will feed you homemade bread. I should probably add: Gay AF, and has no filter. It’s no wonder my new landlord is so wary of me.

Too bad I’ve never been smart with my heart …

Quotes:I’d be a good roommate. Neat freak will make you sourdough waffles once a week on his day off. Gay AF. Quiet because he has no friends.
He bends down, and I absolutely do not check out his ass as he retrieves the chalk off the floor.
This had better be Kieran’s house. Either that, or I’m about to be arrested for trespassing. And I don’t have bail money.” I hear what may possibly be a distant snort of laughter
Still, I can’t stop wondering how good it would feel to be grabbed up in those strong arms and hugged. Or, say, pinned to the bed while he fucks me. I’m not picky.
How did you, uh, know.” He clears his throat, and his eyes are tentative. “Know?” I feel so swimmy and bright that it takes a moment to understand what he’s asking. “Oh, that I’m queer as fuck? I always knew. Sorry.” I can hear myself babbling. “But everybody’s different. I know some dudes who were thirty-five and married before they figured out how much they like cock.”
No fucking way. I can’t use an app. Shit. I can’t even make barista conversation with strangers. People chat on that app, right? And if I actually saw someone interesting on there, they’d want to talk.” He shudders. I burst out laughing. “Oh the horrors! So you aren’t afraid to suck a dick, but the small talk might kill you?” “Maybe,” he grumbles
Let’s eat pulled pork. I’m drunk, and if we stand here any longer I’m just going to stare at you while I picture you naked.” His laughter sounds uncomfortable. “All right. Dinner
“I have a Christmas present for you to unwrap.” “Is it in your pants?” He nudges his ass against my crotch, and my body does not fail to take the hint. “I love opening presents,” he teases. “No, it’s under the tree.”
“I can’t believe the first guy you’ve ever dated happens to be named Rod,” Griffin says. “I suppose it could be worse. Dicky, maybe. Or Hammer.”
December 30-31 Garfield Logan has spent his entire life being overlooked. Even in a small town like Eden, Georgia, the 17-year-old with green streaks in his hair can’t find a way to stand out–and the clock is ticking. Senior year is almost over. If Gar doesn’t find a way to impress the Chosen Ones–the social elite at Bull Creek High School–he will never know what it’s like to matter. Gar’s best friends, Stella and Tank, don’t understand why he cares what other people think. They miss their funny, pizza-loving, video game-obsessed best friend.
Then Gar accepts a wild dare out of the blue. It impresses the Chosen Ones and his social status soars. But other things are changing, too. Gar grows six inches overnight. His voice drops and, suddenly, he’s stronger and faster. He’s finally getting everything he wanted, but his newfound popularity comes at a price. Gar has to work harder to impress his new friends. The dares keep getting bigger and the stakes keep getting higher.
When Gar realizes the extent of his physical changes, he has to dig deep and face the truth about himself–and the people who truly matter–before his life spirals out of control.
Review: I really enjoyed the second book in this series this is about Gar aka beast boy . Gar has these plans for his senior year and he hasn’t don’t any and he can’t seem to bulk up until he finds out his supplement his parents have been giving him have that effect he stops taking them and weird stuff starts happening. He eats a hot pepper and doesn’t feel the effect. He ends up posing with the snake mascot and finds out the school is doing animal testing and has his friends help him out . He ends up keeping a monkey he names it kong . He finds out when he was little he almost died so his parents injected him with vaccine and thats why he has these side effects and can shape shift into an animal . I can’t wait to read the next one where he meets raven.
Jason has a problem. He doesn’t remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she’s his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they’re all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for “bad kids.” What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea-except that everything seems very wrong.
Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he’s in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn’t recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going on?
Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. What’s troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper’s gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all-including Leo-related to a god.
Rick Riordan, the best-selling author of the Percy Jackson series, pumps up the action and suspense in The Lost Hero, the first book in The Heroes of Olympus series. Fans of demi-gods, prophesies, and quests will be left breathless–and panting for Book Two.

Quote :
Jason scratched his head. “You named him Festus? You know that in Latin, ‘festus’ means ‘happy’? You want us to ride off to save the world on Happy the Dragon?”
Leo: Rainbows. Very macho. Annabeth: Butch is our best equestrian, he gets along great with the pegasi. Leo: Rainbows, ponies… Butch: I’m gonna toss you off this chariot.”
I have lightning and wind powers,” Jason reminded him. “Piper can turn beautiful and charm people into giving her BMWs. You’re no more a freak than we are. And, hey, maybe you can fly, too. Like jump off a building and yell ‘Flame on!'” Leo snorted. “If I did that, you would see a flaming kid falling to his death, and I would be yelling something a little stronger than ‘Flame on!”
Gaea?” Leo shook his head. “Isn’t that Mother Nature? She’s supposed to have, like, flowers in her hair and birds singing around her and dear and rabbits doing her laundry.” “Leo, that’s Snow White,” Piper said.”
I’m the son of Jupiter, I’m a child of Rome, consul to demigods, praetor of the First Legion. I slew the Trojan sea monster, I toppled the black throne of Kronos, and destroyed Titan Krios with my own hand. And now I’m going to destroy you Porphyrion, and feed you to your own wolves.” “Wow, dude,” Leo muttered, “You been eating red meat?”

Quotes : Thinking about history makes me wonder how I’ll fit into it one day, I guess. And you too. I kinda wish people still wrote like that. History, huh? Bet we could make some.”
Should I tell you that when we’re apart, your body comes back to me in dreams? That when I sleep, I see you, the dip of your waist, the freckle above your hip, and when I wake up in the morning, it feels like I’ve just been with you, the phantom touch of your hand on the back of my neck fresh and not imagined? That I can feel your skin against mine, and it makes every bone in my body ache? That, for a few moments, I can hold my breath and be back there with you, in a dream, in a thousand rooms, nowhere at all?”
Alex snatches a shirt and boxers at random from the floor, shoves them at Henry’s chest, and points him towards the closet. “Get in there.”
“Quite,” he observes.
“Yes, we can unpack the ironic symbolism later. GO.”
“I am the First Son of the United States, and I’m bisexual. History will remember us.”
Oh my God, I thought you were getting into international relations or something.” “I mean, technically—” “If you finish that sentence, I’m gonna spend tonight in jail.”
I don’t know who YOU think you’re kidding you Hufflepuff-ass bitch”
Hi,” he says, when he reaches Henry’s eye level. “Hello,” Henry says back. “I’m gonna take your pants off now,” Alex tells him. “Yes, good, carry on.”

Quotes :
Fire-breathing bitch-queen
I missed you,” he said quietly, his gaze darting between her mouth and eyes. “When I was in
Wendlyn. I lied when I said I didn’t. From the moment you left, I missed you so much I went out of my
mind. I was glad for the excuse to track Lorcan here
It’s Aelin now,” she snapped as loudly as she dared. “Celaena Sardothien doesn’t exist anymore.”
What if we go on,’ he said, ‘only to more pain and despair? What if we go on, only to find a horrible friend waiting for us?’
Aelin looked northward, as if she could see all the way to Terrasen. ‘Then it is not the end.”
What are you waiting for?’ he said, the words near guttural.
‘Bastard,’ she murmured, and kissed him.
Her mouth was soft and warm, and he bit back a groan. His body went still—his entire world went still—at that whisper of a kiss, the answer to a question he’d asked for centuries. He realized he was staring only when she withdrew slightly. His fingers tightened at her waist.
‘Again,’ he breathed.
She slid out of his grip. ‘If we live through tomorrow, you’ll get the rest.’
He didn’t know whether to laugh or roar. ‘Are you trying to bribe me into surviving?’
His name was Dorian.
Dorian Havillard, and he was the Crown Prince of Adarlan.”
And at long last, Aelin Ashryver Galathynius was home
