Waiting on Wednesday

 
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Breaking the Spine and showcases the books we are not-so-patiently waiting to be released!

 
*I do not think there is an official blurb yet but Samantha did post this teaser on Goodreads*
 
Through tight lips, I force out the words, “Hello again.” Then blurt out, “You go here.” It sounds more like an accusation than a statement.

Obviously he does, or else why would he be here in the college parking lot. And the fact he goes to school here is so not good. It’s bad. Very bad.

There is only me who could manage to move to the one place in the country where Tyler’s doppelganger lives. Land myself a place at the college he attends and, work and live above the pub which is owned by the woman his dad dates.

I don’t think it could be any worse.

Thank god he doesn’t know that he looks like Tyler. He’d probably think I was stalking him or something. I figure his ego is big enough to inflate to that assumption.

“Yeah, I go here.” He frowns. “Should I take it you go here too?”

I can’t distinguish whether that fact annoys, or appeals to him.

From the slight downward curl of his lips, I’m going with annoys. I’m guessing he hasn’t got over me soaking him with beer last night.

Well I haven’t got over him been a total asshole to me, so I figure we're even.

He might be hot, but he’s a total douche.

A hot douche.

Turning to face him, I drop my keys in my bag and roll my eyes. “What gave it away? My car in the college parking lot, or my book bag?”

Wow. When did I get so smart mouthed? Not that I’m complaining. I’m liking this new sassy Mia. She rocks a little.

He laughs, cocky grin still in place. “Touchy today, princess? You haven’t got any drinks hidden back there have you—because I’m fresh out of clean shirts?”

“Ha. Funny. Anyway, I thought you had no problem going shirtless?”

“Oh, I only get shirtless for you.” He winks. And I want to gag.

Yeah, not from what I’ve heard Jordan. You get shirtless for the females of Durango on a regular basis.

God, this guy is a straight up dick.

“Princess, if all you’d wanted was my shirt off last night, you only had to ask, I’d have happily obliged. You didn’t have to chuck beer on me to make it happen.”

“Ugh, pleaassse!” I groan, pulling a sickened face.

“Fuck me, you sound hot when you beg. Scrap what I just said, next time I want to hear you beg me to take off my shirt.”

 
* No release date set yet, although Goodreads has it as sometime in 2013.

Review - The Mighty Storm by Samantha Towle

 
Series:  The Storm #1
Publisher:  Self Published
Published:  November 20, 2012
Pages:  442, Kindle Edition
Edition Reviewed:  ebook
Source:  Borrowed
 
Summary:
 
It's been twelve years since Tru Bennett last saw Jake Wethers, her former best friend and boy she once loved.

Jake Wethers, sexy, tattooed and deliciously bad lead singer, and brains behind The Mighty Storm, one of the biggest bands in the world, left Tru with a broken heart when he moved from England to America with his family when they were both fourteen.

Sent to interview Jake for her music column by the magazine she works for, they are both unprepared for the sparks that fly the instant they reconnect. Only, there’s a complication to their instant feelings for one another—Will, Tru’s boyfriend of two years.

Then Jake makes Tru a job offer she can't refuse—travelling the world with him and his band. But taking the job means leaving Will behind, and being on the road with the band means spending an inordinate amount of time with Jake.

Is Tru strong enough to resist the delectable bad boy who once held her heart so completely, or will she willingly risk it all for one night with the world's most notorious womanizer?
 
Review *always spoiler free unless noted:
 
I love books about rockstars, as I'm sure you all do as well.  There is just something about tattooed, pierced, sweaty bad boys that gets me.  It also doesn't help that my boyfriend is in a metal band.  Getting back on topic, on to the review.
 
I honestly had no interest in reading this book, partly due to the cover, and partly due to the ages of the characters.  For some reason, I'm really hesitant to read books that have character over the age of 24 or so.  I'm not real sure why, given that I myself am about to turn 27 (the characters are 26 BTW).  This book was really good, and I was pleasantly surprised.  I'm going to have to purchase this one and the next Wethering the Storm (which releases August 20, 2013).  Tru was a likeable character that was REAL.  She wasn't a goody two-shoes, innocent virgin girl who had no experience with the real world.  That was a pleasant surprise, because most NA books have those as heroines.  And Jake.  Bad boy rocker to the max.  And HOOOTT.  Really hot.  As you can tell, the characters were wonderful.  Even the side characters, such as the other band members, were incredibly likeable.  My favorite one?  Stuart.  Stuart is Jake's Personal Assistant.  He's awesome.  I haven't come across anyone who didn't like Stuart!
 
Read this book!  There is so much drama and angst, and I couldn't look away!
 
4 out of 5 stars!
