Wednesday Wishes

Despite my downtime away from books, I still found time to want-want-want!! Yeah!

So here’s some lovely titles that I’ve been eyeing from afar.


Loop by Karen Akins

loop-karen-akinsGet it: Amazon | Goodreads
Genre: Young Adult Time Travel (AKA Romance)
Series: Loop, book 1

At a school where Quantum Paradox 101 is a required course and history field trips are literal, sixteen year-old time traveler Bree Bennis excels…at screwing up.

After Bree botches a solo midterm to the 21st century by accidentally taking a boy hostage (a teensy snafu), she stands to lose her scholarship. But when Bree sneaks back to talk the kid into keeping his yap shut, she doesn’t go back far enough. The boy, Finn, now three years older and hot as a solar flare, is convinced he’s in love with Bree, or rather, a future version of her that doesn’t think he’s a complete pain in the arse. To make matters worse, she inadvertently transports him back to the 23rd century with her.

Once home, Bree discovers that a recent rash of accidents at her school are anything but accidental. Someone is attacking time travelers. As Bree and her temporal tagalong uncover seemingly unconnected clues—a broken bracelet, a missing data file, the art heist of the millennium—that lead to the person responsible, she alone has the knowledge to piece the puzzle together. Knowledge only one other person has. Her future self.

But when those closest to her become the next victims, Bree realizes the attacker is willing to do anything to stop her. In the past, present, or future.

The cover makes me both love and hate it! Just like the idea of this book. It sounds cool and every time a new Time Travel book with a romance twist comes up I get sooooo excited and then it falls to disaster.

Here’s hoping!

Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge

Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Series: Standalone not part of the Cruel Beauty Universe

When Rachelle was fifteen she was good—apprenticed to her aunt and in training to protect her village from dark magic. But she was also reckless— straying from the forest path in search of a way to free her world from the threat of eternal darkness. After an illicit meeting goes dreadfully wrong, Rachelle is forced to make a terrible choice that binds her to the very evil she had hoped to defeat.

Three years later, Rachelle has given her life to serving the realm, fighting deadly creatures in an effort to atone. When the king orders her to guard his son Armand—the man she hates most—Rachelle forces Armand to help her find the legendary sword that might save their world. As the two become unexpected allies, they uncover far-reaching conspiracies, hidden magic, and a love that may be their undoing. In a palace built on unbelievable wealth and dangerous secrets, can Rachelle discover the truth and stop the fall of endless night?

Inspired by the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, Crimson Bound is an exhilarating tale of darkness, love, and redemption.

(This is a standalone novel, not part of the Cruel Beauty Universe.)

Super excited for this! While it might not be the next one in the series, I’m hungry for anything by Hodge. Oh, and this cover! It’s a shame I couldn’t do a Cover Coveting post on it! Anywho, give it to me now!

The Ravishing of Beauty by Jessica Satin

Genre: Fairytale Erotica
Series: N/A

Belle's choice to become the Beast's prisoner changes her in ways she never imagined.

After her Beast transforms back into his human form, they eagerly explore each other’s bodies. He can caress every inch of her and probe his tongue deep between her lips. She can feel the warm bulge of his muscles and run her fingers through his red-gold hair, but it’s not enough. Their sexual affair began long before he was human, and Belle can’t help remembering what it was like to be with her Beast. She learned to love him through all the blood and sacrifice it required. Belle and Prince Adam must learn to find new ways to express their desires.

This popped up in my Goodreads updates from my friends reviews. So happy I’m not the only one who likes anything B&B. B&B no matter what. Mwah-ha-ha.
