Other Breakable Things
Author: Kelley York, Rowan Altwood 
Genres: Young Adult, Contemporary Romance
Expected Publication: April 4th 2017


According to Japanese legend, folding a thousand paper cranes will grant you healing.

Evelyn Abel will fold two thousand if it will bring Luc back to her.

Luc Argent has always been intimately acquainted with death. After a car crash got him a second chance at life—via someone else’s transplanted heart—he tried to embrace it. He truly did. But he always knew death could be right around the corner again.

And now it is.

Sick of hospitals and tired of transplants, Luc is ready to let his failing heart give out, ready to give up. A road trip to Oregon—where death with dignity is legal—is his answer. But along for the ride is his best friend, Evelyn.

And she’s not giving up so easily.

A thousand miles, a handful of roadside attractions, and one life-altering kiss later, Evelyn’s fallen, and Luc’s heart is full. But is it enough to save him? Evelyn’s betting her heart, her life, that it can be.

Right down to the thousandth paper crane.




            

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of Other Breakable Things provided by Entangled Publishing and the author. Thank you so much for the reviewing opportunity!

Quoting Jennifer on her one-liner review, my first reaction when I finished the book was indeed:

I normally refrain from any crudeness in my review, but this a state of desperation, no other words could perfectly describe the emotions that are running rampage in my heart.

As expected from Kelley York, her books are always laced with such emotional depth and a plotline that challenges your thinking capacity. I first read Hushed back in 2011 and until this date, I still remember Archer and Evan's story as if it was just yesterday. I have a feeling that Luc and Evelyn's tale will be forever etched into my mind. Being Rowan's debut novel, she has also gained a loyal fan, I love their collaborative writing! 

Reading OBT was more of a slow burn. The story started off at a slow pace in which the authors took their time to build their characters. I fell in love with Luc who was struggling with his failing heart transplant and Evelyn who were always the second choice. I loved the fact that neither of them is perfect and their relationship is purely platonic, that is until the road trip. 

From the time Luc and Evelyn embarked on their road trip to Oregon, the story picked up its pace and I was completely absorbed into their little bubble of happiness. The writing was so vivid that I felt every emotion, from the joy of visiting the aquarium to the disappointment from the Butterfly's farm closure; from Luc and Evelyn's first kiss to the time when Evelyn discovered Luc's sickness, I was bombarded with all sorts of feelings - hopefulness, longing, desperation and an underlying sadness I can't seem to shake off. But, Luc and Evelyn's romance was beautifully written, the tenderness in Luc's actions and Evelyn's selflessness made my heart swell with happiness and for a second all sadness was forgotten. 

To be honest, I have NO idea where the story will lead me. Life or death, it was a constant mystery in the story that drove me to keep reading to discover what Luc will ultimately choose. 

BUT.

THE PLOT TWIST happened and know this, it completely destroyed my heart and soul, I'm talking about heart-wrenching-sobfest with lots of snot and crumpled tissues. It wasn't pretty.

WHY. OH GOD. WHY.

Long after I finished the story and turned off my kindle, I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. Gosh, I tried so hard but I just can't seem to find the stopper. 

Heartbreaking and bittersweet, Luc and Evelyn's story is one who would capture your heart and bring you to tears. 

*This book explores darker themes including mild sexual assault, suicide, and euthanasia.

From New York Times bestselling author Cora Carmack, comes the highly anticipated fourth standalone title in her Rusk University Series, ALL CLOSED OFF! A passionate story and journey, get ready to be mesmerized with Stella’s story! ALL CLOSED OFF is coming your way May 1, 2017!


Cover Design and Photography by Kelsey Kukal-Keeton at K. Keeton Designs
ABOUT ALL CLOSED OFF (Releasing May 1, 2017):


Stella Santos is fine.

Maybe something terrible happened to her that she can’t even remember. And maybe it drives her crazy when her friends treat her like she’s on the verge of breaking because of it. Maybe it feels even worse when they do what she asks and pretend that it never happened at all. And maybe she’s been getting harassing emails and messages for months from people who don’t even know her, but hate her all the same.

But none of that matters because she’s just fine.

For Ryan Blake, Stella was always that girl. Vibrant and hilarious and beautiful. He wanted her as his best friend. His more than friends. His everything and anything that she would give him. Which these days is a whole lot of nothing. She gets angry when he’s there. Angry when he’s not there. Angry when he tries to talk and when he doesn’t.

When Stella devises an unconventional art project for one of her classes all about exploring intimacy—between both friends and strangers—Ryan finds himself stepping in as guinea pig after one of her subjects bails. What was supposed to be an objective and artistic look at emotion and secrets and sex suddenly becomes much more personal. When he hits it off with another girl from the project, Stella will have to decide if she’s willing to do more than make art about intimacy. To keep him, she’ll have to open up and let herself be the one thing she swore she’d never be again.

Vulnerable.

Co-Wrecker by Meghan Quinn Publication Date: March 23, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Photographer: Lauren Watson Perry


What do ice cream and Sadie Montgomery have in common? They're both ice cold, but one taste is never enough.

I wanted to be friends — I would have even settled for her seeing me as anything but a nerd — but there was no getting through. So just like any hard-headed, red-blooded man out there, I made up my mind.

I’d make my coworker fall for me.

I’d like to say it was simple, but like every other epic love story, all it took was one drunken night and a lot of naked courage to get the girl. For a moment, at least.

Love with a coworker is never simple, especially since Sadie’s trying to keep us on the low. Not to mention her persistent ex-boyfriend who won’t leave her alone. But I’ve never been good at giving up, and I don’t plan to start now.

The whole thing is a recipe for a rocky road, but I plan to eat the whole gallon, no matter how bad the brain freeze.

A BLONDE AT HEART Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped. Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking. Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of Co-Wrecker provided by Social Butterfly PR and the author. Thank you so much for the much needed nerdy hotness! 

O.M.G. 

One look at those lickable abs and I'm fainting at the sight of those glasses and gorgeous hair, plus all I can think about are Oreos and Ice Cream and a lot of those nerdy math facts. I believe that one day the nerds will rule the world and I know for sure that Andrew has hijacked my brain because I. CAN'T. EFFING. STOP. LAUGHING.

I'm normally not this lewd in my reviews but Meghan Quinn totally WRECKED my good girl persona, I'm blaming her for that! 



1. Stay away from Oreos when you are reading this.

2. You are not weird for thinking that a man with an Albert Einstein poster in his room is completely hot.

3. Yankees losing the game is not necessarily a bad thing.

Co-Wrecker is RomCom at its finest! This is my first book by the author and hell, she became one of my insta-buy favorites. I love the fact that the book has a great mix of emotional depth and hold-your-pee kind of humor, I could cry at Sadie's past and insecurities but roll on the floor laughing in the next moment when Andrew mouthed some comment, totally unfiltered and preposterous.

The array of characters was splendidly created! Smilly and Saddlemire, Sadie's best friends, cracked me up more times than I could remember. Smilly also gave out a you don't f*** with me vibe (in which I totally idolized), and I also couldn't bring myself to hate Tucker who is the sort-of-antagonist-ex-boyfriend of Sadie's.

I could go on and on telling you how much I love the perverted nicknames *coughs* Sturdy Tits *coughs* or how Sadie and Andrew is a match made in nerd heaven, come on, have you read their texts? But I'm going to go with the intense chemistry because trust me, they are OFF THE CHARTS SEXY.

Laughed so hard from the first page to the last, I think I need to bleach my brains now.
