The Phantom Paragrapher

The First Taste by Jessica Hawkins Series: Slip of the Tongue #2 Release Date: August 4 th , 2016 Genre: Contemporary Romance   Synopsis: Andrew Beckwith has already devoted his life to one girl—and as far as he’s concerned, she’s all he needs. The rough-around-the-edges bad boy left his reckless ways behind six years ago when his daughter Bell was born. To the female population’s dismay, he’s unapologetically single.

But when sharp-tongued Amelia and stubborn Andrew cross paths, sparks fly—and burn. Two things are obvious in an instant: they want each other, and they’re from different worlds. It’s the perfect formula for an

      From the New York Times bestselling author of The Lie and The Pact comes a new romance that will test your limits and leave you breathless.   Death. It's something that Ada Palomino has always known so well, having grown up in a house of horrors, surrounded by a family plagued by ghosts and demons and things that go bump in the night. But after the sudden and tragic death of her mother two years ago, death has never felt so personal. Or so close. Now eighteen, Ada is trying to move on with her life and the last month of summer holds nothing but sunshine and promises with her first year at a Portland design school just around the bend. That is until her increasingly violent and realistic dreams, dreams of other worlds, of portals and veils where her mother is tortured and souls bleed for mercy, start to blend into reality. Ada has to lean on her older sister, Perry, to try and make sense of it all but even then, she's never felt more alone. Then there's J

      A one-night stand. That’s all Ashlyn Shepherd is to me. I’ve spent the last five years trying to convince myself that statement is true. But saying it doesn’t make it so.   She’s the one who slipped away in the middle of the night. The one who—after only one night together—took my heart when she left. Literally, she’s the one who got away.   I hate the way she consumes my every thought, even after all this time. I hate the way I dream of her every night. I hate the way I look for her in every crowd. But mostly I hate how I can’t forget her. Not even a little bit.   We were separated by cruel circumstances and now fate has returned her to me. But everything has changed. She isn’t that carefree girl I met five years ago.   I see so much pain behind her eyes. So much uncertainty. But one thing remains unchanged. I still want her.   She. Will. Be. Mine.          Jade Sinner is two friends, two New York Times bestselling authors, and two chicks with

  Review: The Proverbial Mr. Universe - Maria La Serra - June 2016 I am a sucker for true romance stories and have a thing for the personal ads section, when I was younger I loved reading the personal ads and the missed connections. I haven't read them in a long time as I don't really read newspapers anymore and when I was younger my parents used to buy a magazine called the Trade Exchange which had a list of them in the back. As soon as I opened The Proverbial Mr. Universe we are presented with a small Missed Connections Ad addressed to the :Girl in the Red Scarf.

During the engagement party, we get hints that the relationship is standing
