Welcome to the last WWW Wednesday of August! Yes this month is almost over, It went by way to fast if you ask me. This week it felt like I accomplished nothing, but looking at my planner I see I actually accomplished something. Before I show you the books I read this week let me give you a little information about WWW Wednesday!
WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme ran by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words! There are three simple Questions to answer:
What are you currently reading?
What did you just finish reading?
What are you planning to read next?
I am currently reading an ARC of LONG FOR ME by Stacey Lynn. I’m 26% into this novel, I’m liking it so far but not loving it. I have a feeling though, that it will be picking up soon and my views will change…hopefully.
Long For Me
(Luminous #3)
by: Stacey Lynn
Publisher: Carina Press
Publication Date: September 4th
Synopsis:
My boss already controls my days; do I want to give him my nights as well?
Rebecca
I’ve seen what happens when you give everything to a man. That’s not what I want. I won’t have my heart crushed in anyone’s fist.
Then he changed everything.
Him. Bennett Ashby. My boss.
Seeing him at Luminous, dressed in leather pants and wielding a whip…
Do I crave this?
My mind says no, but my body is starting to have very different ideas.
Bennett
I knew Rebecca Morales would be the perfect assistant. That’s why I hired her.
I didn’t know that working with her every day would lead to temptation—to own her, to possess her.
When she walked into Luminous, I knew I was screwed. Dipping your pen in the company ink is never smart, but we both agreed what happens at the club stays there.
One night and then it’s back to business tomorrow.
Except I don’t want just one night with Rebecca. I want them all.
First let me start with the series I’ve been reading this month. I finished books 4 & 5 in the Bleeding Stars series by A.L. Jackson! Sadly though I unfortunately am not going to be able to finish the series this month. The series is no longer on KU and I spent my book money already this month…lol! But as for Wait and Stay….These novels were both angsty goodness that I highly needed on a cold rainy day. I snuggled up in my blanket and read the day away! I rated Wait 4 stars, I loved Austin and Edie’s story. Literally broke my heart. As for Ash and Willow.they also got a 4 star rating
Wait
(Bleeding Stars #4)
by: A.L. Jackson
Publication Date: August 23rd, 2016
Publisher: Self Published
Format: Kindle Unlimited
<3 Review <3
Synopsis:
She is his strength and he is her weakness. And this time he won’t let her go.
Edie Evans is gorgeous.
Sexy.
Kind.
She’s also the definition of off-limits.
But that didn’t stop me from sneaking into her room to comfort her at night.
But guys like me? We destroy everything, so it should have been no surprise when I destroyed us, too.
The night I sent her running, I thought I’d never see her again.
Until I saw her standing like a vision in the crowd.
Austin Stone is dangerous.
Alluring.
Tempting.
He broke my heart and I refused to give him the chance to do it again.
It’s been years since I’ve seen him, and now I can’t do anything but stare at the gorgeous, tattooed man playing onstage. I should run. I know I should. But like a fool, I run straight back to him.
Our desire is overpowering.
Our need unrelenting.
She is my hope.
He is my weakness.
We should have known a passion this intense would burn us right into the ground.
Stay
(Bleeding Stars #5)
by: A.L. Jackson
Publication Date: January 23rd, 2017
Publisher: Self Published
Format: Kindle Unlimited
<3 Review <3
Synopsis:
I’m Ash Evans.
The life of the party.
Hot. Rich. Charismatic.
A tattooed rock star with the world at my feet.
I burn through women faster than the strike of a match.
I’ve embraced my lifestyle and live it to the fullest.
Until the day my lifestyle caught up to me.
Willow Langston found me at my lowest.
Literally.
Facedown in a puddle of my own blood.
I owe her my life and I have three months to repay that debt.
What I never should have done was touch her. Kiss her. Take her to my bed.
Love wasn’t supposed to be a part of the equation.
I gave up that nasty complication a long damned time ago.
Now I want her more than my next breath.
But she doesn’t know what I know.
Do I leave to protect her? Or can I face my demons and ask her to Stay?
I also finished an ARC of THE ALPHA’S BARGAIN by Ryan Michele! I loved the hell out of this short and sexy novel! 5 STARS!
The Alpha’s Bargain
by: Ryan Michele
Publication Date: August 29th, 2017
Publisher: Self Published
Arc received through Enticing Journey Book Promotions
<3 Review <3
Synopsis:
Dire straights.
Rock bottom.
Out of options.
It’s where we were. My pack and I.
A simple bargain.
A childhood crush.
Could it work? In a world of fated mates how would we possibly fake it for everyone?
Luca made it all sound so easy. My heart, body, and wolf were on board. I just needed to convince my head.
I couldn’t deny the alpha he was or the chemistry between us. Only time could tell if it would be for eternity.
A not so simple bargain changed it all.
I will probably be trying to get ahead when it comes to my September ARCs. That way I have more time at the end of the month to read the series that I chose for September. The Arcs I plan on reading next are:

Temporary
by: Sarina Bowen & Sarah Mayberry
Publisher: Rennie Road Books
Publication Date: September 12th, 2017
Synopsis:
The most beautiful man I’ve ever seen is the same one who can ruin everything.
The first time I lay eyes on Callan Walker, I know he’ll be trouble. With his smug grin, hot Aussie accent and thousand dollar shoes, he’s just the kind of rich guy who always gets what he wants.
And he wants two things: a night of sin, and my cooperation as he outmaneuvers his powerful mother to take control of his uncle’s estate.
I can’t afford either one. I’m the only thing standing between my little sister and the foster care system. He may have money and charm on his side, but I have something even more powerful — pure desperation. This temp job at his mother’s company can become a full time job for me. It has to.
But when Callan’s eyes rake over my body, sometimes I forget my obligations. His piercing gaze finds the fun, optimistic girl I used to be and not the tired person I’ve become.
And it works–if only for a moment. Our night together was a mistake. I can’t afford to get sucked into his high-powered family’s treachery. But the closer I get to Callan, the more layers I find beneath those expensive clothes. Though I can’t forget this is temporary. He’s temporary. I have too much to lose.
Too bad my foolish heart didn’t get the memo…
Peace Love and Happy Reading,
