Review: Eleanor and Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge

Seduction. Infidelity. Blackmail. Scandal. It can all be bought for the right price and for Sienna Stevens, business is good.

Because she’s in the business of Great Exploitations.

She’s an Eve, a member of a secret society of women contracted by the wives of wealthy, powerful men for one reason and one reason only: to seduce their husbands. To ensure their pre-nuptial agreement will be null and void thanks to a little loophole known as the Infidelity Clause. To ensure that those wives don’t find themselves on the other side of a divorce without a penny to their name.

When it comes to the Eves, Sienna’s one of the best because she follows the number one rule of the Eves to the letter: don’t let it get personal.

When the job file of her wealthiest client yet falls into her lap, Sienna realizes that this case could be the one that’s impossible to detach herself from. The payout would lead to her independence, but will the cost be too high in the end?
I don't play favorites. OK. Maybe I do. But, my favorites are in that position because they're GREAT. And Nicole Williams is one of those greats. I took no time at all to put this book at the top of my TBR list and when Nicole was looking for bloggers, I jumped at the chance to read it! Once I sat down with this book I was consumed and couldn't get enough. It's a raw and risque read, that I enjoyed every second of.

Nicole Williams is an artist! This latest creation of hers happens to be a masterpiece and I can't wait for more of this collection. She has created a mini series, if you will, of novellas to be released consecutively. To better explain how this new series will work I have included some information from Nicole's blog:
"Have you all ever had a favorite television show you positively couldn't wait to watch? Where you were on pins and needles waiting to find out what happened in the following episode? I know I have and I wanted to translate this into a book series. Each installment (episode) will be about 20,000-30,000 words and a new installment will be released about every month."
To see the whole post, click here.

Nicole is the author of the Crash series, Up in Flames, and the Eden series. She is an extremely talented writer who has this ability to create worlds out of words and feelings out of sentences, she is magnificent. Her books are unbelievable and I recommend them to everyone, especially to fans of Abbi Glines, Tammara Webber, and Liz Reinhardt.

Back to the book at hand. It's a story about the Eves. The whole world surrounding this new series is extremely fascinating and easy to get caught up in. Nicole had it right when on her blog she said "This is something totally different. Something edgy. Something sexy." It is way different than not only her other books, but other stories in general. The main character is a glorified con-artist/prostitute. I don't like the term but that's the best way to simply describe it. Call it what you will, what the Eves do is seduce men for money from their wives. These are women who got stuck in a nasty marriage with a pre-nup staring them in the face and they want out, for whatever reason; and that's where the Eves come in. This book was brilliant, it was like being behind the lines; it was thrilling and incredibly sexy.

Sienna is cocky and confident, but it's taken her time to get there. Emotions pushed aside she trudges on looking for a large pay day that will allow her to leave this life in the past. But, while looking forward she sometimes glimpses back at the mess she was before her career change, at the disastrous wake a man left and she buries that history and continues on.
"I was a girl channeling my need for revenge on a worth cause."
To see Sienna work her magic was captivating. She's a chameleon of a character and an awesome leading lady.

This part 1 is a fast and easy read, only about 90 pages, and by the end it develops into what is sure to be a fantastic over all series. The background and set up this book does is sure to make the other books flow effortlessly after. The ending all about killed me, I'm talking total cliffhanger that left me pining for the next installment, Scandal in Seattle.

Blog Tour: And I Darken by Kiersten White

Top Ten YA Books That Use Genre to Tell True Stories My favorite genres are the ones that use non-real-world elements, such as sci-fi, dystopian, fantasy, and historical fiction. When done right, it’s exactly those larger-than-life elements that tell the truest parts of the story. I wanted to examine how good people get to the point where they can commit atrocities in the name of their goals. Using a gender-swapped, notorious historical figure made an odd sort of sense. I could explore everything I wanted to, but on a grand, lavish scale. And even though And I Darken is set in the 1400s, the parallels to today’s political and cultural climate are inescapable. I hope it feels visceral and familiar, in spite of the centuries between us. In that vein, I selected ten books I feel use their genre to tell the truest, most timely stories they can. 1–2. Alexandra Duncan’s SALVAGE and SOUND Both of these books are sci-fi, set in the future where space travel and even colonization are a reality

Weekly Round-Up 9/2

Weekly Round-Up is my wrap-up of last week's activities and includes what I'm reading this week, reviews I've posted, books in the mail and anything else of interest plus From the Library, my weekly listing of what I've checked out from the library. This week I'm reading Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard and then finishing The Cuckoo's Calling and listening to The Peculiar by Stefan Bachmann, read by Peter Altschuler. I'm reading Nick and Tesla's High-Voltage Lab   by Bob Pflugfelder and Steve Hockensmith with my son right now. I think I will start featuring the chapter and middle grade books we are reading together. Last week I reviewed She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith. Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard The year is 1876, and there’s something strange and deadly loose in Philadelphia… Eleanor Fitt has a lot to worry about. Her brother has gone missing, her family has fallen on hard times, and her mother is d

Review: Change Places With Me by Lois Metzger

Review: CHANGE PLACES WITH ME is a quiet, unassuming book that will unfortunately slip by a lot of readers. But it's a subtly disturbing book that makes you pause and think and wonder. Lois Metzger's beautifully written prose is haunted and almost lyrical. This book is definitely ... different. I'm not sure exactly what I expected when I started it, but I don't think it was this. It was a pleasant surprise. This book can only be described as a mystery shrouded in an enigma.  It's a fairly fast read, but I loved taking my time and savoring over the course of an afternoon. Metzger's writing and her heroine, Rose, are compelling and make for a great narrative. ABOUT CHANGE PLACES WITH ME: Rose has changed. She still lives in the same neighborhood with her stepmother and goes to the same high school with the same group of kids, but when she woke up today, something was just a little different than it was before. The dogs who live upstairs are no longer a terror. He
