BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY: Amour Amour by Krista & Becca Ritchie



Amour Amour

Title: Amour Amour
Author: Krista & Becca Ritchie
Genre: Standalone--New Adult Romance
Publication Date: December 12th 2014
Love is a circus
"Every day,” he says lowly, “I hold a person’s life in my hands. The circus is based one-hundred percent off trust. I give it all to someone, and they give it all to me.”
The best aerial technique won’t land 21-year-old Thora James her dream role in Amour—a sexy new acrobatic show on the Vegas strip. Thora knows she’s out of her element the second she meets Amour’s leading performer. Confident, charming and devilishly captivating, 26-year-old Nikolai Kotova lives up to his nickname as the “God of Russia.”
When Thora unknowingly walks into the crosshairs of Nikolai’s after-show, her audition process begins way too soon. Unprofessional. That’s what Nik calls their “non-existent” relationship. It’s not like Thora can avoid him. For one, they may be partners in the future--acrobatic partners, that is. But getting closer to Nik means diving deeper into sin city and into his dizzying world.
Thora wants to perform with him, but when someone like Nikolai attracts the spotlight wherever he goes—Thora fears that she’s destined to be just background to his spellbinding show.
This sexy and exhilarating New Adult Romance can best be described as Cirque du Soleil meets the steamy, athletic romance of Center Stage. 
*standalone & no love triangles—recommended for readers 18+ for mature content*

Twenty-five-year-old Ryke Meadows knows he’s hard to love. With a billion-dollar inheritance, a track-star resume, and an alpha-male personality—he redefines the term likable asshole.

WAITING ON WEDNESDAY: I'll Meet You There & Amour Amour

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking The Spine.
This week, I have actually chosen two!! Only because both of them I am DYING for!! :D

 I'll Meet You There

Title: I'll Meet You There
Author: Heather Demetrios
Publication Date: February 3rd 2015
Publisher: Henry Holt and Co.
If seventeen-year-old Skylar Evans were a typical Creek View girl, her future would involve a double-wide trailer, a baby on her hip, and the graveyard shift at Taco Bell. But after graduation, the only thing standing between straightedge Skylar and art school are three minimum-wage months of summer. Skylar can taste the freedom—that is, until her mother loses her job and everything starts coming apart. Torn between her dreams and the people she loves, Skylar realizes everything she’s ever worked for is on the line.
Nineteen-year-old Josh Mitchell had a different ticket out of Creek View: the Marines. But after his leg is blown off in Afghanistan, he returns home, a shell of the cocksure boy he used to be. What brings Skylar and Josh together is working at the Paradise—a quirky motel off California’s dusty Highway 99. Despite their differences, their shared isolation turns into an unexpected friendship and soon, something deeper.

I have been wanting this book for AGES!! I read an excerpt that Heather Demetrios put on her website, and it just hooked me. I KNOW that this is going to be an emotional ride, probably a really unique one too. I'm just looking forward to it so much!!

Publisher: Speak
Rating: 2/5 
Welcome to New Vegas, a city once covered in bling, now blanketed in ice. Like much of the destroyed planet, the place knows only one temperature—freezing. But some things never change. The diamond in the ice desert is still a 24-hour hedonistic playground and nothing keeps the crowds away from the casino floors, never mind the rumors about sinister sorcery in its shadows.

At the heart of this city is Natasha Kestal, a young blackjack dealer looking for a way out. Like many, she's heard of a mythical land simply called the Blue. They say it’s a paradise, where the sun still shines and the waters are turquoise. More importantly, it’s a place where Nat won’t be persecuted, even if her darkest secret comes to light.

But passage to the Blue is treacherous, if not impossible, and her only shot is to bet on a ragtag crew of mercenaries led by a cocky runner named Ryan Wesson to take her there. Danger and deceit await on every corner, even as Nat and Wes find themselves inexorably drawn to each other. But can true love survive the lies? Fiery hearts collide in this fantastic tale of the evil men do and the awesome power within us all.

OCTOBER WRAP-UP

Hey guys!!
So today, I am doing my October wrap-up. Since I am a booktuber, I have a video up already talking about the books that I've read in October. 
I read in total of 10 books, and I talked about them down below in the video. But I forgot to mention 1 book, and that was:

My thoughts


I received this as a review copy from Netgalley.

I thought this book was really great. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars on goodreads and I thought it was really enjoyable, I really like the basic storyline and the thriller behind this book. However, I felt as if the characters weren't developed very well, sometimes, I ended up thinking the characters were too annoying, and that they were unrealistic (at times). I also thought that the romance was too 'instant' and I think we all hate insta-love so you probably get what I mean.

But apart from that, I love how this story includes the Stockholm Syndrome. That has always interests me. And I LOVE the ending to this story, it was not what I was expecting, and it was just really great. So overall, this book was a great start to Fitzpatrick's first YA thriller :D

So if you'd like to see more of what I read in October, here is my OCTOBER WRAP-UP video down below :D

REVIEW: Thrive by Krista & Becca Ritchie

THRIVE 

Title: Thrive
Author(s): Krista & Becca Ritchie
Series: Addicted #2.5
Publication date: 17th July 2014
Rating: 5/5 
This is NOT a novella. Thrive is a full-length New Adult Romance and vital to Lily & Lo's storyline. It's recommended to be read after the Calloway Sisters spin-off books: Kiss the Sky and Hothouse Flower. 
Two years will change them forever.
When rumors spread like wildfire—like having three-ways with her boyfriend’s rock climbing brother—Lily Calloway spirals into a dark place. Her bedroom. Loren Hale is more confident and determined to keep their sex life private, even from their friends, and he helps Lily in the only way he knows how. But how much love is too much?
Their lives are filmed, watched, and criticized. And through it all, Lily and Loren have to face enemies they never thought they’d see, demons they don’t know if they should bury, and setbacks they didn’t think they’d meet. Not this soon.
And one rumor could be too much for them to handle. It will test their greatest limitations, and if they don’t hold onto each other, someone is going to drown.

Robin used to be a party girl… until she got black out drunk and woke up in bed with her best friend's boyfriend. Now she's faced with being THAT girl, and couldn't be more disgusted with herself. She can't even tell her friends the reason for her sudden sobriety and she avoids everyone until she meets Phoenix—quiet, tattooed, and different in every way that's good and oh, so bad…
Phoenix is two days out of jail when he meets Robin at his cousin's house, and he knows that he has no business talking to her, but he's drawn to her quiet demeanor, sweet smile, and artistic talent. She doesn't care that he's done time, or that he only has five bucks to his name, and she supports his goal to be a tattoo artist.
But Phoenix knows Robin has a secret, and that it's a naïve dream to believe that his record won't catch up with them at some point. Though neither is prepared for the explosive result when the past collides with the present…

Draw Me In by Megan Squires

Title: Draw Me In
Author: Megan Squires
Publication Date: January 7th 2014
Genre: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
Source: ARC
Host: Xpresso Book Tours
He’s a young, up and coming businessman with the keys to his family’s Italian wine enterprise.
I’m a fine arts student, navigating life in the Big Apple, my pencil and sketchpad in hand.
We meet. We fall in love.
But it’s not that story.
Sometimes, by a rare gift of fate, two lives cross paths. And hey, if that happens to occur when staring at Michelangelo’s naked masterpiece, even better. We can tell our future children how a seventeen-foot tall marble guy named David brought us together.
But there’s always more to a relationship than its beginning and ever after. In life, there’s a whole lot of backstory. There are ex-fiancés and hot roommates and family members whose advice continues, even beyond the grave.
When you say you love someone, it’s never just that one person you’re saying it to. And it’s never just that one moment that sets everything in motion.
There is always more that draws you in.
