War is coming between humans and Arvies, leaving me trapped between two enemies. This time, I don’t think I’ll survive.

- SYNOPSIS -

Just a few weeks ago, computer prodigy China Mack’s typical night in involved Endor Star Wars pajamas and a sensible bedtime. Now she’s dating gorgeous tech guru Jackson Cooper—one of Forbes’s Top Ten Eligible Billionaires—much to the Twitterverse’s delight. 

 Turns out, going from socially inept hermit to poster girl for geek chic has its challenges. China’s relationship gets even more complicated because her role heading the top-secret Vigilance program—where she’s partnered with Superman clone Clark Slattery—makes her a target. And when ruthless businessman Simon Lu plans to co-opt Vigilance software to blackmail government and military employees, he’ll need China’s cooperation—willing or otherwise. 

 But not every enemy is so easily identified. Some hide in plain sight, in very high places, and mistaking foe for friend could be the last mistake China ever makes…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Rating:  

My Thoughts: All Is Fair In Love and Cyber War.

            So happy that China Mack is back and that more is obviously to follow! This second novel in the Corrupted Hearts series is just as amazing as the first maybe better with point of view changes and guest appearances from The Kathleen Turner series. Tiffany Snow has given me a female heroine whom I relate to on so many levels that I almost feel normal reading about China's issue until she endures hacking, espionage and problems dealing with two hot men. 

         Finally adjusting to the notion that her controlled-routine life is no longer an option thanks to people now actively in her life, China is now faced with trying to balance a social life and super secret work life. Dating one of Forbes hottest bachelors should be an females dream, but China is barely used to social norms and to be quickly thrust into celebrity status was something she hadn't calculated in dating the Jackson Cooper. So when her position as the head of operations for the President's off the records department of cyber intelligence code name Vigilance is compromised, China begins to take matters into her own hands and starts relying on the dangerous and handsome Clark Slattery. It's not till Jackson and Cysnet are threatened with actions of treason that China finds herself having to decide whom to trust and who is the enemy when it comes to politics, espionage, love and cyber war.

         Overall, great sequel! Absolutely love China and wish we could be awkward BFFs!! The dialogue Tiffany writes for this series is super chill, I know that's not very descriptive, but China as a brainiac is truly simple to understand. Her black is black and white is white, it's those in her life that bring complications. Jackson is a great guy for China in being similar minded, but I'm really pulling for Clark. I don't know why but I'm always rooting for the side guy in Tiffany's books. Besides all the relational business, I loved how much China was pushed out of her comfort zone. Honestly, no one likes to be out of sync but it's how you respond and adapt that makes or breaks you. Oh and last two points: 1) love the change up in character perspective mid novel which gave a fuller picture to the story through the eyes of the guys and 2) fans of Blane Kirk will be thoroughly pleased with what Tiffany drops in this novel. So if you were a fan of "Follow Me" then you'll definitely devour this book and want more of Ms. Mack.

EXCERPT

Chapter 1: 
O. M. G.
I turned slowly in front of the full-length mirror.
I looked fantastic!
I smoothed the fitted bodice of my high-neck halter dress. Black satin wrapped around my neck, flowing into black-on-black horizontal stripes that ended just under my breasts. The fabric changed to a shimmery gold with vertical black stripes extending down the skirt. It was sleeveless and fit perfectly. The designer off Etsy who’d made it had done an incredible job. The light glinted off the subtle gold tones and the skirt flared in a perfect bell to my ankles.
The doorbell rang and I nervously adjusted my hat, turning it slightly until it was just right. Tugging on silver gloves that went past my elbow and halfway up my arm, I then slipped on a pair of matching gold ballet slipper flats and hurried through the living room to the front door, swinging it open just as the bell rang again.
“Happy Hallo—” My voice trailed away in dismay. “What are you wearing?” I blurted.
Jackson Cooper—my erstwhile boss and current boyfriend—stood in my doorway, eyeing me with the same look of shock that I was sure was on my face.
“I’m wearing a tux,” he said, gesturing to his attire—a gorgeous black tuxedo with a blindingly white shirt, perfectly tied bow tie, and black shoes that shone even in the dim light. “What the hell are you wearing?”
“A dress,” I said, maybe a little defensively. Okay, a lot defensively. I was starting to be a bit concerned that I’d misinterpreted what Jackson had meant when I’d asked what kind of party we were going to on Halloween. “I’m a dalek.”
“I can see that,” he said, gesturing to my hat, a gold dome complete with knobs and eye stalk. “But why are you dressed as a dalek?”
“It’s a Halloween party, isn’t it? I asked you and you said, ‘Yes, it’ll be fancy, so dress up.’ That’s what I did.”
“China . . .”
That’s me. China Mack. Well, sort of. Mack was a shortened version of my middle name—Mackenzie—not my real last name, which was so long it had proven unpronounceable by 99 percent of the people who tried. In school, I’d never been able to fit my whole name in those little bubbles on standardized tests. Not that I’d had to take many of those. Once my IQ was measured at one hundred seventy-five—genius range—I’d never taken another one of those tests. Instead, I’d been fast-tracked and had graduated MIT at the age of nineteen with two undergrad degrees in computer science and biological engineering plus a master’s in engineering. That was four years ago.
Jackson passed a hand over his eyes while I bit my lip, awkwardly switching the wire whisk I was holding to the other hand. The gold, palm-sized, half-moon-shaped balls attached up and down the length of my skirt banged against the door as I stepped back. The noise made me wince, as did Jackson’s sigh.
“You do that a lot,” I said.
“I do what a lot?”
“Sigh.” He said nothing, so I continued. “I mean, it’s perfectly natural. Your body even requires sighing. When a person needs a breathing machine, sighs have to be programmed into the ventilator or the patient will suffer from oxygen deprivation.”
His lips twitched. “Is that so?”
I nodded . . . and my hat slid off. Jackson caught it neatly before it hit the floor. “Thanks,” I said, taking it from him. The two little knobs on the side looked a little like Shrek to me, but it went with the costume. “I guess I should go change.”
“Probably a good idea.”
“This’ll make a great cosplay costume for ComicCon, though,” I said, turning my back to him. “Unzip me?”
“Mmmm . . . yes, please . . .” This was followed by the slow lowering of my zipper and the touch of Jackson’s lips to the back of my neck. Suddenly I wasn’t sorry at all that I needed to change.
Twenty minutes later, Jackson was buttoning his shirt and tucking the tails back into his slacks while I stood in front of my closet clad in my favorite Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels panty and bra set in dove-gray lace with white trim. Hands on hips, I surveyed my clothing.
“I have a problem.”
“Just one?”
I wasn’t the best at inferring whether someone was joking or not—one of my many social inadequacies—so I turned to glance at Jackson. He was grinning at me and looking too sexy for a man who’d just given me three orgasms in a row. But the smile meant he was teasing.
“Yes, just one at the moment, but it’s a big one.” I gestured to my clothes. “I don’t have anything to wear.”
“Surely you have a dress, a skirt, something,” he said.
I shook my head. “I own a TARDIS dress, a Star Trek—the Original Series—Uhura minidress, and Princess Éowyn’s wedding gown from Return of the King.”
“If you own Princess Leia’s metal bikini, we’re skipping the party.”
“That chafes,” I said absently, turning around to poke through my closet again. Did I have anything in the back that I’d forgotten?
“We’ll revisit that later,” he said. “What about Mia?”
“She’s out at a friend’s house,” I replied. “What about her?” I failed to see how my niece’s presence would alleviate my problem.
“I meant, what about her clothes?” Jackson asked. “You two are about the same size. She probably has something you can wear.”
I gave Jackson a look. “She wears like a size two. Besides, I can’t just go wear someone else’s clothes. Not only is it rude, it’s unsanitary.”
“I’m sure she washes her clothes,” he said, reaching for my hand.
“But she washes her yoga pants with her fleece,” I protested, obediently letting him lead me to my niece’s bedroom, which used to be my storage room before she moved in a couple of months ago.
“So?”
“So . . . everyone knows that if you wash fleece with something stretchy, lint becomes forever embedded in the stretchy fabric. She should wash her yoga pants with other stretchy workout wear, though why she wears workout clothes just to sit on the couch and watch television is beyond me.”
Jackson opened Mia’s closet and began searching through it. Selecting a garment, he pulled it out and held it up in front of me. “That should work.”
I looked down. “But it’s really short . . .” As in miniskirt short.
“Yes.”
“It’s October. I’ll freeze.”
“No, you won’t. I’ll keep you warm.”
I opened my mouth to tell him he couldn’t physically fulfill such a promise, but the look in his eye and the set of his jaw told me his patience might be wearing thin. I took the dress.
“Okay.” I unzipped it, stepped in, and pulled the black fabric up my legs, shimmying to get it over my hips. “She shouldn’t even own a dress like this. She’s only fifteen.”
“Kids nowadays,” Jackson said, and I was glad to see him smiling slightly again.
I pushed my arms through the holes and turned around so he could zip me. “It barely covers my . . . tush.”
“Your tush?” he teased with a laugh.
“Well, what else are you supposed to call it? Butt sounds vulgar. Ass is worse. Rear sounds like I’m a granny.” I looked over my shoulder at him. “What do you call it?”
His hand settled on the body part in question and squeezed. “I call it awesome,” he said softly, his lips by my ear.
Though he hadn’t really answered my question, I wasn’t dumb enough not to appreciate a heartfelt compliment on my . . . “Posterior?” I tested out. Jackson just laughed.
“That’s even worse. Come on. Let’s go.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Rating:  

My Thoughts: When A Planner Falls For A Player

          This is the third novel in the Belmont Beach Brides Series and each novel can be read as a standalone. However, having read only the first novel prior to this release, I did feel a little left out in not knowing all the connections of friends and places mentioned. The main characters are the last two in a group of friends who unexpectedly find themselves falling for each other when they should be nothing but friends and friends only.

            In a town like Belmont image is everything, so when event/wedding planner, Ainsley Slone, endures a cold breakup just when she envisioned herself finally becoming the bride, Ainsley decides to rent out the bachelor of the town, Ryan Lawhill. Ryan as a good friend wants Ainsley to forget her problems and learn his ways of easy loving and living. Spurred by the need to beat Ryan at his own games, Ainsley agrees to a 3 week do as he says deal of fun. What neither expected was the chemistry that ignited from their times well spent together. Suddenly Ainsley and Ryan find themselves asking, should they proceed past the friend zone when hearts may be involved?

             Overall, enjoyable light romantic read. The witty banter between Ainsley and Ryan which was cute and flirty. I'm very qualified in sarcasm so totally loved how the couple prodded one another even when they knew they were pushing their friendship boundaries. The friendship dynamic of the whole group of characters/couples is great, but with only two single friends left in the bunch it was kinda like duh Ainsley and Ryan should get together. Ainsley by far grows the most and her progression felt real. From her time of seeking advice online to jumping into Ryan's deal or doing the camping hike I loved every part of Ainsley's story. Now Ryan, that stubborn idiot, his process was going great till the end where it got u-turned then righted then rushed, his mom needed to speak with him a whole lot earlier in life. I will say that the ending was okay but I was hoping for a bit more. So if you love a story where a woman finds herself a bit and a man discovers he can love while both try to one up each other, then you'll enjoy this novel.

EXCERPT

She strode toward him and cupped his strong jaw between her two hands. “Thank you, Ryan. Thank you for coming to get me and not judging me and not making fun of me.”

She’d given him the perfect fodder, of course, by trekking up a mountain in the rain just to prove to herself she didn’t need him. It had been an attempt to convince herself she didn’t care, that his regret for the kiss hadn’t penetrated. All she’d done was prove how much she did need him after all.

“It was my fault.” His voice was thick, his eyebrows knit in contrition. It was a look she’d never seen on him before: real, genuine remorse.

“No.” It would be unfair to let him take the blame for this. “It was my decision, and it was a bad one. I don’t want to think about it anymore though. You and I? We need to learn to let the past go.”

There had to be a way forward for them. They couldn’t go back and change things, but they could learn to make better decisions in the future. She was willing to try to change, for Ryan. Hell, she had changed for him, hadn’t she? Old Ainsley would never have gone hiking in the rain. Much as she was loath to admit it, he’d gotten to her core.

She closed her eyes and inhaled the spicy scent of him, then closed the distance. This time she would be the one to kiss him. It would be an affirmation of the other night at the concert. She’d make him understand that it wasn’t a mistake. Nothing that had happened between them so far had been a mistake, there had been a purpose behind all of it. To her relief, his lips met hers hungrily and her grip around his neck tightened. She kissed him hard, their tongues tangling together.

She nearly sagged with relief. As he kissed her back, she could almost feel his walls and his reserve, his sarcasm and his jokes, melting between them. He was opening up to her, showing her parts of himself he normally kept closed off.

He let out a low growl, then pulled back to stare at her. Her heart pounded in her ears as she met his gaze. There was a vulnerability there she’d never seen before. She almost smiled. Griffin was right, she’d had a thing or two to teach Ryan about relationships after all. It had just taken him a bit to catch on.

Keep kissing me.

As if he could read her mind, as if kicking down the last of the emotional walls that divided them, he lifted her, cupping her butt in his hands. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he tilted his head toward her and kissed her again. This time his tongue stroked hers, massaging and caressing.

A shiver ran through her and she moaned into his mouth. It was a shiver of desire, of expectation. The cold and the wet had melted completely away, as if kissing Ryan had cocooned her in a protective bubble. She didn’t care about anything other than him and the fact that they were suspended in this moment together. It was real. He was real. And, for the first time, she was pretty sure they were real together.

He pressed her against the van and his mouth trailed down to her throat. Her head fell backward and sensation throbbed inside of her as he found the hollow of her throat. He sucked gently, sending a tsunami of need through her body. For the first time she was sure that he saw her, all of her. They’d let go of their pride and ego to be in this moment together.

She eased away from his mouth and held his gaze. He looked at her longingly and gave a small, crinkled smile. It was more boyish, more filled with hope than she’d ever seen him.

Suddenly she was filled with resolve. They should get out of here. Go somewhere more...private. Comfortable. Because she knew exactly what they both wanted to come next.

Impulsively, she reached out and placed her thumb on his bottom lip. “You have a great mouth.”

He used his teeth to graze her thumb.

She gasped, her hips arching against him. He lowered his head, burying it in her neck. He nipped and licked at her neck, creating shocks of pleasure pain. After the past twenty four hours, the certainty in his touch meant more than words could.

“You smell amazing. And you have the softest skin,” he murmured.

Not that she minded those words. “I...um.” She swallowed hard. “It’s a special lotion.”

He pulled his head back and grinned at her. “Oh yeah? Let me guess, from Paris. Or handmade by oompah-loompahs.”

She slanted him a look. “I like you so much more when you’re not talking. I can think of much better things you could be doing with your mouth.”

Author: Amanda Leigh

Cover Design by Najla Qamber Designs

★ SYNOPSIS ★

A sassy witch, a vampire sworn to protect her, and a vampire that’s falling for her…? All bets are off.

Kiara was born with power. At eighteen, her powers are peaked, and she’s destined to destroy the demon threatening her home town. But even with her power and the help of Kaleib, a vampire who’s like an older brother to her, they’re not strong enough to stand against the evil. Enter Trent, a vampire with a secret past, and the tables turn, giving them a fighting chance.

Kiara shouldn’t feel anything toward Trent, especially since Kaleib hates him, but a strong attraction builds between them during their mission. Trent has successfully avoided caring about anyone for over one hundred years, and he plans to keep it that way. When Kiara asks for help, he can’t seem to deny her. Never would he imagine that he’d run into Kaleib, someone from his past–a vampire who knows his secret. Trent convinces himself he’s aiding Kiara for his own selfish amusement, but the little witch seems immune to his charms and she’s chipping away at his walls. To his dismay, he finds himself beginning to care for Kiara.

Between the demon that wants to kill her and two fighting vampires, how will things play out for Kiara and Trent? Will this demon let them live to find out?
