Kari doesn’t know why Neil calls her his ‘Angel’ and when she finds out, she realizes what love is all about. Today’s feature book is All My Life (A First Thing Series) by Rucy Ban. It currently has a 4 star rating with 29 reviews. “A really smartly written, funny new adult romance…no cliffhanger!” – Poppy
A Brief Synopsis of All My Life:
Seventeen-year-old Kari meets Neil Mars. A boy who beats every vampire, werewolf, Highlander fantasy Kari has ever had. But she knows she can’t get close to him. Not ever. Because that would mean telling him everything. Coming clean. And Kari can’t bear the idea of changing the way Neil looks at her. Like she’s the only girl in the world. His reverence is something too precious to lose. Perhaps even at the cost of losing him.
About the Author:
Rucy Ban was born in 1978 and still continues to thrive. Ever since she first met Francine (the protagonist of her favorite novel, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn), Rucy fell in love with the written word. Rucy has a B-school degree in Marketing which she now puts to good use teaching lovable rowdy rogues and negotiating with her equally belligerent adolescent. In her previous avatar, she handled corporate communications for companies. At present, Rucy lives in Sao Paulo, travels often, speaks decent, if not quite fluent, Portuguese and really hates talking about herself in third person.

This Time Next Year by Catherine Peace
| July 14, 2013 | Filled under Paranormal Romance, Steamy Romance |
Vampire Kiernan Shaw has never forgotten the night twenty years ago when he’d been forced to stand by while another vampire killed a six-year-old girl’s parents in front of her. He’s spent the better part of the last two decades watching over her, protecting her and hoping for an opportunity to make amends one day.
Ever since surviving the vampire attack that killed her parents, Moira Curran has dealt with the resulting nightmares and abandonment issues the only way she could—by throwing herself into her biochemistry career, preferring a life of a hermit in her lab to facing the reality of her lonely life.
Madame Eve brings them back together for one fateful night. An immediate bond of sizzling chemistry and respect forms, but can it heal her fears and his guilt?
Raven @ Reviewing Vixens ~ “This was a great short story, one that truly fit well into the 1Night Stand series. It was smooth, compelling and tugged at the heart strings. For two people who met under such terrible circumstances to meet again and find in one another just what they’ve always been searching for, humbling. A great read to have in any collection and one that will always make you smile.”
