NEW RELEASE | BAD APPLE by Elle Kennedy

Hi there! Let's celebrate Elle Kennedy's release for BAD APPLE, previously published as Midnight Encounters, a quick and fun read to fill your summer of heat and passion. Take a look!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

A flirty standalone novel from New York Times and international bestselling author Elle Kennedy!

One night with him will change her life...

Between her waitressing job, volunteer work, and college classes, there are never enough hours in Maggie Reilly’s day. Especially not for a relationship. Luckily, she’s got the perfect arrangement: a lover she meets three or four times a year. But when she shows up at the hotel expecting to hop into bed with one man, she accidentally ends up with another—Ben Barrett, Hollywood’s most notorious bad boy.

Ben, determined to lay low after another scandal, just wants some much-needed sleep. What he gets is a scorching make-out session with a gorgeous, naked redhead. He won’t accept her apology, but what he will accept is a place to hide out…and if there’s some hot, no-strings sex involved, why the heck not?

But Ben soon discovers that one week with his sassy, bed-hopping waitress is definitely not enough. He wants more. A lot more.

Now he needs to convince relationship-averse Maggie that a bad boy might be oh so good for her—and the best thing that’s ever happened to both of them.

Previously published in 2008, Bad Apple (formerly Midnight Encounters) features almost entirely new content, including a point-of-view switch. Enjoy this new version of an old favorite!

MY REVIEW:

An unexpected encounter between people from two different worlds. Maybe their paths weren't destined to cross. Or maybe they were, who knows. What I do know it's when they are in the same room there's enough heat to light a fire (like a wildfire kind of hot).

Maggie is so focused in her work and classes, that she has no time for herself (except for a couple of times a year she get together with a stranger named Tony. But this time she, accidentally I must add, finds Ben instead.

Ben is a famous actor running away, hiding while trying to figure out how to put his life back together. He's in a hotel en New York, but not the kind of place he uses to visit. For the first time in a long time he's invisible. Anonymous. And then, she enters to his room. To his bed. And everything suddenly changes.

This was a fun and quick read, super romantic and sexy and with two wonderful lead characters. Ben and Maggie were just awesome! I loved to read their banter and their bickering, how they provoque the worst (but also the best) in each other.

The story was filled with a lot of hot moments between Maggie (AKA Red) and Ben, but more than that, there were a lot of moments for you to know them better, to understand their motivations, to share their secrets, to scream at them for their stubbornness, but also to cheer for a 'happily ever after'. Hope you like it as much as I did.

#Review ONE SMALL THING by Erin Watt

The amazing writing duo formed by Elle Kennedy and Jen Frederick known as Erin Watt comes with a wonderful new release that you wouldn't want to miss!

Take a look at ONE SMALL THING!

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author duo of The Royals and When It’s Real comes a sensational new novel about a girl falling for the one boy she should never have met…

Beth’s life hasn’t been the same since her sister died. Her parents try to lock her down, believing they can keep her safe by monitoring her every move. When Beth sneaks out to a party one night and meets the new guy in town, Chase, she’s thrilled to make a secret friend. It seems like a small thing, just for her.

Only Beth doesn’t know how big her secret really is…

Fresh out of juvie and determined to start his life over, Chase has demons to face and much to atone for, including his part in the night Beth’s sister died. Beth, who has more reason than anyone to despise him, is willing to give him a second chance. A forbidden romance is the last thing either of them planned for senior year, but the more time they spend together, the deeper their feelings get.

Now Beth has a choice to make—follow the rules, or risk tearing everything apart…again.

When I started to read this book I had no idea where the story would get me. It's cool sometimes to be surprised my an author, in this case by two of them, by the characters and how the story seems to be taking a way to suddenly take a turn. That happened to me, and despite my age difference with the main characters I also found this story close and entertaining.

In some books destiny can be awesome, leading the characters in a path of endless love and happiness. Some other times isn't that great. One Small Thing belongs to the second box. Beth and Chase, the main characters, are linked from the start even if they haven't idea. And the universe, being the big joker he is, won't let them forget that connection even for a minute.

At the beginning Beth seemed to be immature and infuriating, and it's precisely that immaturity that lead her to Chase for the first time. Little by little you'll fill in the blanks into Beth story, and realize she had a reason to act the way she does. But also you'll understand her parents. I reach the point, in some parts of the book, when I said "both of you are right, but also both of you are wrong" and wanted to slap some sense into them, lol.

Then Chase comes to Beth school... his past get exposed, and his future starts to blur.

Guilt is something powerful, but so is love. And while the characters are fighting the feelings they think they shouldn't have, their strength will be tested in more ways that they imagine. The ending wasn't that shocking, though. Despite the odds against Chase and Beth, they found a way to heal one another, and it was beautiful.

This book takes one for the team and talks about some sensible subjects like bullying, shaming, and the different forms of violence, so it's a great excuse to share it with the teens in your home. But it also talks about lost, grief, forgiveness, and friendship. I really loved this book and can't wait for you to read it!
