Ready To Play Ball With Christina Lee?

Most of you already know that I am a self-proclaimed audiobook addict. They make my long commute to and from work each day enjoyable. On the days that I have projects at work that require hours of screening art, they make the day go faster. And as someone who suffers from insomnia, they help me relax and fill in the sleepless gaps. I tell you this because it’s not very often these days that I actually “read” a book. When books aren’t available in audiobook format that we want to check out for the blog, they usually go to my co-admin, kitt. When one of our favorite people *waves at Enn Bocci* contacted us about reading/reviewing ALL OF YOU by Christina Lee, we knew we wanted to check it out. Enn knows our tastes, and we respect her opinion immensely. The only problem? kitt couldn’t fit it into her hectic schedule. So it was that I found myself downloading the ARC and curling up with my cell phone.

Fast forward to my review of ALL OF YOU and our Q&A with the author, who is a sweetheart, here. Go ahead. I’ll wait…

Yep, kitt’s loss was my gain. Sorry, kitt. Not sorry 😉 I loved ALL OF YOU and Christina Lee’s Bennett (aka Swoony Boy).

What some of you may not know is that I’m also addicted to baseball. It’s always been a part of my life, from growing up with a dad who taught me to love the game, to marrying a man who loves the game, to teaching our  kids to love the game. My son even pitched at the collegiate level, and a big part of his success was a good catcher. See where I’m going with this?

Releases February 18, 2014

A sexy, emotional New Adult romance about a bad boy on the edge and a good girl about to lose control…

The star catcher of the college baseball team isn’t supposed to have skeletons in his closet. But Daniel Quinn is hiding a guilty past so dark he refuses to let anyone get close. Except there’s something about gorgeous, studious Ella Abrams that goes beyond the electric attraction between them—something that makes him want to open up.

Ella has suffered enough heartache and guilt to fill one of her psychology textbooks, but she keeps that part of herself hidden behind a bubbly exterior. Until she receives an anonymous call while working the suicide helpline and the voice on the other end touches something inside of her that she can’t ignore.

Soon Ella and Quinn’s physical connection heats up, even as their deep and revealing hotline talks intensify. But by the time Ella realizes that her seductive jock and her sensitive caller are the same guy, it might be too late to save him—or to stop herself from falling too far.

BEFORE YOU BREAK can be read as a stand-alone as part of THE BETWEEN BREATHS SERIES, but I really, really hope you’ll read ALL OF YOU, which is Avery’s story. Her friends Ella (BEFORE YOU BREAK) and Rachel (WHISPER TO ME – Cover Reveal & Synopsis here) are also introduced in it.

So order, pre-order, read, follow. I’ll just be over here curled up with my cell phone…

And I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you that the audiobook experience of TANGLED is one of the best I’ve had since falling down the audiobook rabbit hole. For those of you who know how obsessed I am with this format, you know this is saying a lot. I love Sebastian York as a narrator. Many of  you will recognize him from the audiobook versions of other great books (Beautiful Bastard series by Christina Lauren, REMY by Katy Evans, and Perfection series by Abbi Glines). Well, this is Sebastian York at his absolute best. Trust. His delivery/timing of Emma Chase’s wickedly funny words is SO good. You can listen to a sample on Audible here. If you’re new to Audible, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial and receive a credit to use toward an audiobook.

So go pick up a copy of TANGLED with it’s gorgeous new cover and then treat yourself to the audiobook! This is one book that truly lives up to the hype . . . and one book boyfriend that you can’t help but fall in love with. #TeamDrew

SYNOPSIS:

A hot and consuming New Adult romance about a wayward musician and the one girl who keeps him grounded…

At college, Rachel has a reputation for being a sarcastic flirt with a thing for star athletes. No one at school knows that she’d had her heart ripped to shreds by her high school sweetheart, who’d driven them both off the side of the road on a borrowed motorcycle, and then abandoned her. No one knows the real Rachel Mattson—except one person…

Ever since he helped nurse his sister’s feisty best friend back to health, pierced bass player Kai Nakos has been head over heels in love. But the supposed bad boy can’t risk letting Rachel know the truth—especially now that the two of them are back in their hometown for the summer, together for the first time since the months following that fateful night. Never mind that Rachel’s ex is back, groveling for her forgiveness.

Shaken by her ex’s return, Rachel finds herself turning to the one guy she knows she can trust. Kai is willing to hide his feelings for her, just to have Rachel touch him again. After all, this is only a temporary fling.  Until it becomes something more. But maybe it had been more all along.
