When good goes bad in the latest installment of Laura Pavlov’s star-crossed lovers trilogy, you’ll want to be there every step of the way.

Life is sweet until it’s not…

I followed my dreams when I wanted to follow my heart.

I spent the summer touring with the band. Cruz Winslow is the love of my life and being with him 24/7 was amazing, until it came to an end.

I needed to go back to school while he finished up his commitment to Exiled.

But, that one decision threatened to tear us apart.

And although I knew a long-distance relationship would be challenging—the time change, classes, studying for exams didn’t help.

Being away from one another was more difficult than I ever imagined.

There was no doubt in my mind he was the one for me, but was true love going to be enough?

Because I gave him my heart, and he promised me forever…

I’m living a dream that isn’t even mine…

As the lead singer of Exiled, I’ve become a household name, and everyone wants a piece of me.

I’m trying to maintain a relationship with my girlfriend—but the road was a cruel mistress and wouldn’t let go.

I’m chained to my band, chained to my fans, and chained to my family. And I don’t want any of it —all I want is More Jade.

After Jade leaves for school, I miss her like hell and backslide into my old ways.

It kills me because she’s the one person I don’t want to disappoint.

I love her so much, but deep down I know she deserves a hell of a lot better than me.

I know I need to set her free.

But I can’t let her go…

Because what if she doesn’t come back?

#BookReview: Tigers, Not Daughters (Tigers, Not Daughters #1) by Samantha Mabry

Synopsis: The Torres sisters dream of escape. Escape from their needy and despotic widowed father, and from their San Antonio neighborhood, full of old San Antonio families and all the traditions and expectations that go along with them. In the summer after her senior year of high school, Ana, the oldest sister, falls to her death from her bedroom window. A year later, her three younger sisters, Jessica, Iridian, and Rosa, are still consumed by grief and haunted by their sister’s memory. Their dream of leaving Southtown now seems out of reach. But then strange things start happening around the house: mysterious laughter, mysterious shadows, mysterious writing on the walls. The sisters begin to wonder if Ana really is haunting them, trying to send them a message—and what exactly she’s trying to say.

In a stunning follow-up to her National Book Award–longlisted novel All the Wind in the World, Samantha Mabry weaves an aching, magical novel that is one part family drama, one part ghost story, and one part love story.

She belongs to my brother…

I’ve stood back for years watching Dax repeatedly screw things up with Kennedy, as if he doesn’t think anyone could ever swoop in and steal her away.

Breakup after breakup, they always end up back together, even though I’ve always had a thing for her. I’m tired of waiting. He had his chance.

I want mine.

When Dixie’s Alibi — her Grandmother’s bar — needs a new cook for the food truck, I jump at the opportunity, despite the fact that Kennedy Ward hates me. At least, she pretends she does. We both know she secretly wants me and always has.

One way or another, I will get her to finally admit it, even if it involves losing my brother. I plan to play dirty — real dirty — just like he did. This time I’m going to beat him at his own game. I wanted her first, and he knew that, but our age kept us apart. Not anymore.

Now, I’m grown and ready to take what should’ve been mine to begin with.

It's hard to find Prince Charming, especially in Vegas where fairy tales are ruined with tequila shots and bad choices...  

Ty

I'm no one's happily ever after. I'm the guy with various one-night stands on his bucket list. My job makes it easy to give each fantasy a check mark. It's why Emma hates me, but I know the truth—she secretly wants me. All the good girls do. I'd like nothing more than to loosen her tight ponytail and dirty her tidy apartment.

But she wants forever, and no matter how addicted to her I become, I'm broken beyond repair. Emma deserves more than only half of me.

Emma

After a not-so-amicable breakup, I long for a nice guy who understands my desire for order and cleanliness in every facet of my life. I tell myself I will not let Ty disrupt it all with his sexy moves on and off stage. That I despise his flirty smirks and tattoos. But when they start making me blush, I question everything—even my own sanity. Because I must be crazy to give in to Ty, right?

As a Vegas stripper, he oozes sensuality, not marriage vows, and I know I should stay far away.

But one night in Sin City, hatred turns into lust. When the sun rises, the question remains… is there enough magic in Vegas to turn lust into long-lasting love?

*Let Loose for Me is Book 2 in the Naked Heat series. Each book is a standalone contemporary romance.

#BookReview: The Kidnap Years by David Stout

Synopsis: The astonishing true history of the kidnapping open-season that terrorized America

The Great Depression was a time of desperation in America--parents struggled to feed their children and unemployment was at a record high. Adding to the lawlessness of the decade, thugs with submachine guns and corrupt law-enforcement officers ran rampant. But amidst this panic, there was one sure-fire way to make money, one used by criminals and resourceful civilians alike: kidnapping.

Jump into this forgotten history with Edgar Award-winning author David Stout as he explores the reports of missing people that inundated newspapers at the time. Learn the horrifying details of these abduction cases, from the methods used and the investigative processes to the personal histories of the culprits and victims. All of this culminates with the most infamous kidnapping in American history, the one that targeted an international celebrity and changed legislation forever: the Lindbergh kidnapping.

The Kidnap Years is a gritty, visceral, thoughtfully reported page-turner that chronicles the sweep of abductions that afflicted all corners of the country as desperate people were pushed to do the unthinkable.
