Synopsis: His touch was electric.
His eyes were magnetic.
His lips were a temptation....
But was he real?
After crashing her car on an empty highway, Shane is miraculously saved by Travis, a mysterious cowboy who walks out of nowhere. She is instantly attracted to him, and for the first time, she believes in “soul mates.” But Shane soon discovers that Travis is dead and that strict rules from the Underworld govern kindred spirits of different dimensions. Breaking these rules could destroy both their souls. And while Travis is almost impossible to resist, temptation proves to be the kindest enemy they encounter.
Can true love surpass the power of pure evil? Part love story, part supernatural thriller, this first book in the Kindred trilogy will leave readers lusting for more!

Synopsis: A novel about love, loss, and sex -- but not necessarily in that order.
Before her mother died, Shelby promised three things: to listen to her father, to love as much as possible, and to live without restraint. Those Promises become harder to keep when Shelby's father joins the planning committee for the Princess Ball, an annual dance that ends with a ceremonial vow to live pure lives -- in other words, no "bad behavior," no breaking the rules, and definitely no sex.
Torn between Promises One and Three, Shelby makes a decision -- to exploit a loophole and lose her virginity before taking the vow. But somewhere between failed hookup attempts and helping her dad plan the ball, Shelby starts to understand what her mother really meant, what her father really needs, and who really has the right to her purity.

Another three titles this week that I can't wait for. I think three looks like the magic number to me. I can never pick just one. First off, I LOVE all three covers. Not only are the covers each different from one another, but the stories are all vastly different from one another as well. One supernatural and two contemporary titles to round out this weeks WoW and I can't WAIT for all three! If you had to pick ONE you were MOST excited about from the three I've listed, which one would you choose for the top of your list? Leave a comment and let me know.
*covers are always subject to change.
*I am not compensated at all for any of the links within this post.
I am definitely intrigued by Purity. It sounds like a really good book that I will definitely read. I'm not so sure about The Temptation, so I may wait until I read reviews :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat picks this week!
