       ____________________________________________________________




Hello all of you lovely New Adult readers! I’m Christine from the blog i *Heart* Big Books (and i cannot lie...) and I’m so thrilled to have the opportunity to represent one of my FIRST and FAVORITE New Adult book boyfriends! He’s the one, the only, DREW from Monica Murphy’s phenomenal NA debut, ONE WEEK GIRLFRIEND, and he deserves to be crowned as your favorite guy of this year’s NA Crush Tourney!



Drew [verb]: bring toward oneself, by inherent force or influence; attract.
Synonyms: Star quarterback, unbelievably sexy, kind hearted, broken, intelligent, creative, your choice for this year’s NA Crush Tourney. (of course this last one is all up to YOU, voters!)


Maybe you've already heard about the golden boy star quarterback Drew Callahan
And maybe you haven't, but
Regardless, you're going to want to know him now.
Shattered by a very painful past that still haunts his future
He pushes himself to succeed. To break away. But then he's sucked back in and his only solution is to
Make a deal with the girl with the bad reputation, Fable Maguire.
A temporary deal that starts out with mutual dislike soon evolves into
Lust and passion and diversion. And then...eventually, into
Love and healing and safety.
Only, how can two broken pieces mend each other's jagged edges?
Who fixes whom?
Lost and prisoner to the pull
Of one another, Drew + Fable
Vow to always be there when the other calls. And when the time comes, what are they willing to sacrifice for each other?
Everything. Always and Forever.




Drew quickly captivated readers with the whole package of who he is. On the outside, he has his movie star good looks and muscled physique that make him the star quarterback and NFL prospect, but it is the depth of who he is on the inside that makes the lasting impression.

Drew is sweet and kind, with an inherent sexy streak a mile wide.

He's the guy who is afraid to love, especially when it might hurt you. But once he's in, he's all in. And nothing and no one can stop his love.

He expresses himself in letters, poems and words. He doesn’t feel that this makes him any less manly. He is a reader's dream guy.

He's also wildly protective, yet knows when you can take care of yourself…though he'll still worry and want to protect you anyway.

He's been broken beyond belief. Yet, he has pushed himself to live and succeed anyway.

His intelligence, his athleticism, his gorgeous good looks could get him anything and anyone, but he holds himself back until the girl that breaks through all his happy facades comes along.

But most of all, when his girl says the word. When she needs saving or just needs HIM, he comes running for her, no questions asked. That’s a real man.
#MarshmallowLove


For those of you who prefer a more VISUAL presentation, please watch the following video to have the full Drew Callahan experience!

CAUTION: Contents involve extremely hot substances. Please sit down while consuming. Possible symptoms include swooning, shortness of breath, increased heart rate, and fullness of heart. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please vote for Drew IMMEDIATELY in the poll below. You have been warned.




Have you swooned yet? Drew Callahan is perfectly imperfect. He is the full package and he is MY choice for this year’s 2014 New Adult Crush. Won’t you make him yours?

** P.S. for those Drew+Fable lovers out there, Monica Murphy has promised a new bonus scene if Drew continues to advance through the rounds! Want more #MarshmallowLove? Vote for our boy below!

#TenTinyBreaths by K.A. Tucker - SALE + a GIVEAWAY



One of my favorite New Adult books ever, one of my favorite books of ANY genre/age group is on SALE! this is a rare sale for a phenomenal book.

As an incentive to pick this up now, I'm giving away some EXCLUSIVE SIGNED Ten Tiny Breaths swag!
Ten Tiny Breaths
by K.A. Tucker

Just breathe, Kacey. Ten tiny breaths. Seize them. Feel them. Love them.

Four years ago, Kacey Cleary’s life imploded when her car was hit by a drunk driver, killing her parents, boyfriend, and best friend. Still haunted by memories of being trapped inside, listening to her mother take her last breath, Kacey wants to leave her past behind. Armed with two bus tickets, Kacey and her fifteen-year-old sister, Livie, escape Grand Rapids, Michigan, to start over in Miami. They’re struggling to make ends meet at first, but Kacey’s not worried. She can handle anything—anything but her mysterious neighbor in apartment 1D.

Trent Emerson has smoldering blue eyes and deep dimples, and perfectly skates that irresistible line between nice guy and bad boy. Hardened by her tragic past, Kacey is determined to keep everyone at a distance, but their mutual attraction is undeniable, and Trent is desperate to find a way into Kacey’s guarded heart—even if it means revealing an explosive secret that could shatter both their worlds.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jennifer L. Armentrout! A gift to her and all her fans...


One of my favorite all time authors is celebrating her birthday today!! Jennifer L. Armentrout, thank you for all that you do and for ALL the books that you write! You've brought me so much joy and laughter and all around FEELS that I cannot adequately express what your work has meant to me. Oh, and thank you also for being such a fast writer...seriously, you're a godssend to this very impatient girl.

Happy Birthday, lovely! I hope this year brings you all the wonderful things, plus Theo James showing up on your doorstep. (As long as I'm wishing for you, I'll wish big!)

To celebrate Jen's birthday, and also because I get the question a lot of, "Which Jennifer L. Armentrout/J. Lynn book should I try?" I have been working on this little (actually very very BIG) map of Jen's books! After two crashes because the file was so big...I'm finally done and unveiling it here!

Without further ado:

*RELEASE DAY* LUX Beginings + Consequences by Jennifer L. Armentrout + GIVEAWAY



Woohoo! The brand new bindings for Jennifer L. Armentrout's Lux series have arrived!! The first four books of the series are being bound in two volumes titled, LUX: Beginnings and LUX: Consequences, JUST IN TIME for the heavily anticipated final book of the series, OPPOSITION!!

Can't wait to see what happens to our favorite Luxen and his girl next door? Haven't yet read the series? Well now is the perfect time!

The Lux Read-Along hosted by the absolutely lovely Vi from Deity Island just started and there will be prizes throughout as we share our love for this series with both the new and returning readers. Go here for more info:


Now a little about the books....(STAY TUNED FOR AN AWESOMESAUCE GIVEAWAY!!)


LUX: Beginnings by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal
Publication Date: June 3rd, 2014

Now available together for the first time, don't miss Obsidian and Onyx, the first two books in Jennifer L. Armentrout's bestselling Lux series. Also includes bonus content exclusive to the print edition! "A thrilling ride from start to finish," says RT Book Reviews.

Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring…. until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something…unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon’s touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I’m getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don’t kill him first, that is.

AVAIL FOR ORDER NOW!

LUX: Consequences by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal
Publication Date: June 3rd, 2014

Now available together for the first time, don't miss Obsidian and Onyx, the first two books in Jennifer L. Armentrout's bestselling Lux series. Also includes bonus content exclusive to the print edition! "A thrilling ride from start to finish," says RT Book Reviews.

Now available together for the first time, don't miss Opal and Origin, the third and fourth books in Jennifer L. Armentrout's bestselling Lux series. Also includes bonus content exclusive to the print edition! "A thrilling ride from start to finish," says RT Book Reviews.

No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger...and they know it.


AVAIL FOR ORDER NOW!
