Trailer:
4.5/5
Oh this book. I simply adored it! I'll admit that I initially wanted to read it because of the mention of 5SOS in the blurb :P Thankfully I loved everything about this book, and not just just 5SOS mentions.
Told in multiple POVs, Unrequited is, as you can guess, the story of unrequited love. But it is so much more than that. It is about listening to your heart and following your dreams. The book sort of reminded me of those films Valentines Day and New Years Eve where there all these little stories that interconnect, but with fewer people. Normally I don't like when there are more than 2 or 3 POVs but I actually loved that we got so many this time. The story wouldn't have been the same if we only had Kat's POV. Speaking of Kat, omg I loved that girl! She was such a great character. Her snark and cynicism were brilliant and I found myself laughing so many times. I loved her taste in music too ;) Angus I also loved. He was the perfect love interest. Joel (med student from the train) I didn't really like as a love interest for Kat. He treated her like a little sister that he had to protect more so than a potential girlfriend.
The multiple POVs helped move the story along at the perfect pace. It wasn't rushed or dragged. And I absolutely loved the music element. I need to hear the songs they wrote! Oh and if you are any way a romantic like me prepare to cry! The concert near the end of the book? Tears! Those who have read it know what I'm talking about ;)
Normally I would say that I would love a sequel but I actually think the ending was perfect. I would love a book about the other band members though, especially Reuben :)
Overall this was a sweet and fabulous read. The perfect escape from reality. I just loved it!

***SPECIAL REVEAL***: Dirty Secret by Emma Hart
We are so excited to announce a brand new series from NYT Bestselling Author Emma Hart!!!
Release
Date: Dec 1, 2014
Conner Burke never expected Sofie Callahan to come back.
Where she’s been for the last two and half years is a
mystery, and so is the reason she left in the first place. Now, though, she’s
back in their hometown of Shelton Bay, South Carolina, at the same time
Conner’s band Dirty B is home on a tour break.
Sofie Callahan has spent the months since her father’s death
avoiding anything to do with her home town. But with her brother in
Afghanistan, she has no choice but to return and sort out her father’s house,
even if it means facing the boy she fell in love with and revealing the reason
she left.
Conner has questions, and when his broken heart and her
guilty one collide, Sofie has to start answering them. Their present is rocky,
their future unknown. Only one thing is certain:
Sofie’s daughter will change everything.

EXCERPT
That kid that could be mine.
I get up and let the empty bottle drop to the floor. The woods are eerily quiet, as if it can sense my anger. As if it knows the bitterness that lingers in my veins, as if it knows the burn of not knowing anything.
Like the woods, I’m left in the dark. Completely.
Branches and twigs crunch under my feet as I increase my pace to a gentle jog. And again, to a slow run. Then to a sprint.
The need to know increases with every footstep, as evenly paced as the ticking of the clock. It doesn’t matter that I’ve probably drunk too much beer to be here or that we’ve only been back for a matter of days.
I can’t be in this shithole full of memories without knowing. I can’t move on until I know. I can’t forgive her for a single fucking thing until I know—and even then, maybe I won’t be able to.
Maybe she’s unforgivable.
Instead of knocking on the back door like I did yesterday, I round the side of the house to the front door. The front room light glows softly through the curtains, but the rest of the house is dark.
My chest heaves with the exertion of my run here and I grab the doorframe to balance myself. I’m definitely too fucking drunk for this conversation, but what the hell.
I bang on the door, once, twice, again and again and again. “Sofie! Open the fuckin’ door!”
“Shut up!” she hisses, yanking it open. “The hell’re you doing here?”
I smirk, leaning against the wall. “Shouldn’t I be askin’ you that, princess?”
“Are you drunk?” Her voice rises a little at the end, and her eyes widen.
Those eyes. Fuck, those baby blues that have always undone me.
“Drunk? No. If I was drunk I’d be sitting at home like a miserable bastard and not here facing the cause of my misery.”
“You’re being an asshole. I don’t have to listen to this.”
She pushes on the door, but I wedge my foot in front of it. I let go of the wall and grab the edge of the door.
“Actually, you do.”
She can’t overpower me, and she knows it, because she lets up and the door swings open. “Why are you here, Conner?”
“You have a kid.”
She smacks her lips together. “Yep.”
“When? When did you have her?”
Sofie takes a deep breath in and presses her hands to her stomach. They’re shaking, even as she links her fingers to hide it. I can see that fucking tremble.
She whispers something but I’m too pre-occupied by her hands to hear it.
“What?”
“August last year,” she repeats, still a whisper.
August. Last year. My stomach clenches as I meet her eyes. “When? When in fuckin’ August, Sofie?”
“August fifteenth.” Her voice hitches halfway through the ‘fifteenth.’
Almost seven months to the day she walked out on me and the rest of Shelton Bay.
Adrenaline hums through my body, and I stare at her. At the tears building in her eyes, the quiver of her lips, the bob of her throat as she swallows harshly.
It’s no different from the burn in my chest, the twisting of my stomach.
“Is she mine?”
She shudders and a tear drips from her eye.
“Sofie. Is. She. Mine?!”

little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she
fancies - usually wine - and writes books.
Emma is working on Top Secret projects she will share with
her followers and fans at every available opportunity. Naturally, all Top

shirt, a sprinkling (or several) of hold-onto-your-panties hot scenes, and a
whole lotta love.
She likes to be busy - unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all the ideas come to life.

COVER REVEAL - Inspire by Cora Carmack
We are thrilled to bring you the cover for Cora Carmack's INSPIRE!
INSPIRE is a New Adult Paranormal Romance novel and is due to be released on December 15, 2014!
The cover was designed by VLC Productions.
About INSPIRE:
Kalliope lives with one purpose.
To inspire.
As an immortal muse, she doesn’t have any other choice. It’s part of how she was made. Musicians, artists, actors—they use her to advance their art, and she uses them to survive. She moves from one artist to the next, never staying long enough to get attached. But all she wants is a different life— a normal one. She’s spent thousands of years living lie after lie, and now she’s ready for something real.
Sweet, sexy, and steady, Wilder Bell feels more real than anything else in her long existence. And most importantly… he’s not an artist. He doesn’t want her for her ability. But she can’t turn off the way she influences people, not even to save a man she might love. Because in small doses, she can help make something beautiful, but her ability has just as much capacity to destroy as it does to create. The longer she stays, the more obsessed Wilder will become. It’s happened before, and it never turns out well for the mortal.
Her presence may inspire genius.
But it breeds madness, too.
About Cora Carmack: Cora Carmack is a twenty-something writer who likes to write about twenty-something characters. She's done a multitude of things in her life-- boring jobs (like working retail), Fun jobs (like working in a theatre), stressful jobs (like teaching), and dream jobs (like writing). She enjoys placing her characters in the most awkward situations possible, and then trying to help them get a boyfriend out of it. Awkward people need love, too. Her first book, LOSING IT, was a New York Times and USA Today bestseller.

EXCERPT:
I
head towards the bar and Grace isn’t even paying attention. She’s chatting up the bartender, who sees me coming and excuses
himself as I take a seat two stools away from her.
"Hey,"
I say in a low voice. "I’m
sorry for picking you up back there. It was presumptuous to think you’d talk to me tonight, let alone come up to my room."
"Another
margarita," Grace calls out to the bartender.
I
catch his eye and hold up a finger. "Scotch, please. Top shelf."
"I’m not interested in your excuse, Vaughn. Truly." She
looks me in the eyes for the first time tonight. "Truly, I am not
interested. I’m
not playing a game with you. I’m
not playing hard to get. I’m
not pretending to be pissed. I’m not even pissed. I’m just not interested. You’re not the man I thought you were. And I get that I was
invested in the fantasy version of you. OK?" she says, shaking her head a
little. "I get that. It was my fault for turning you into some kind of
Prince Charming. So it’s
not fair that I had such high expectations of you. I’m sorry that I blamed you for something I caused."
The
bartender delivers our drinks and takes Grace’s empty glass away. I take a sip of my Scotch, then gulp it
all, and slide my glass on the bar. "Another, please." The bartender
nods and moves off to get that. I put my head in my hands. "Grace," I
say, rubbing my temples. "Just for the fun of it, tell me what that Prince
Charming version of me was like. How do I not measure up?" I look up at
her, but she’s
staring down into her pink drink, playing with the paper umbrella. "Was I
nicer? Was I more generous? What is the real Vaughn Asher missing?"
She
meets my gaze for a moment, but it’s a fleeting one. They drop back down just a
quickly and shrugs her shoulders. “I don’t know. The fantasy was… charming. Not
just in a princely way, either. But really, really charming. Saying witty
things, and being at ease with himself and others. He jokes with me and makes
me laugh. You…"
She doesn’t
look at me, just continues to stare into her drink. "You make me sad. You
make me feel inadequate. You make me feel stupid and small and pathetic."
Fuck.
"How though? How did I do that? Because that was not my intention.
OK?" I reach out and cover her small hand with mine. "I never wanted
to make you feel like that. I wanted to excite you."
She
looks up at my eyes and I almost wish she hadn’t. Her expression is overflowing with disappointment and she
looks tired. She does look sad. She looks like she cried very hard earlier and
the makeup can’t
quite hide that. "You wanted to excite yourself, Vaughn. You wanted
to please yourself. Not me. Everything you did, from picking out those
clothes to putting money in my bank account, all of it was for your benefit.
You lie to yourself, I think. You’re one long string of self-serving lies. I don’t know how you do it, or how you get so many girls to play
along. But all your best intentions were nothing but really good deceptions.
And even though I know in my heart" —she clenches her fist and holds it over her chest—"that the fairy tale is fake, that it doesn’t exist and I’m setting myself up for disappointment, I don’t care. Because I deserve that happy ending, Vaughn. I do.
You might not think so. You might think I’m just some silly girl who has no right to expect so much
from a man. But I don’t
care. Maybe that man doesn’t
exist and maybe I’ll
spend the rest of my life alone, waiting for my prince. I don’t care. I refuse to play this game with you."
And
then she reaches into her little clutch purse to grab her credit card and wave
it at the bartender. "I’m
done, Vaughn. And for what it’s
worth, I do believe you about that girl on the TV. Thank you for the charity
money. I will make sure it goes to worthy organizations and send you the
receipt so you can claim it on your taxes."

AUTHOR BIO:
J. A. Huss likes to write new adult books that make you think and keep you guessing.

She has an undergraduate degree in horses, (yes, really–Thank you, Colorado State University) and a master’s degree in forensic toxicology from the University of Florida. She used to have a job driving around Colorado doing pretty much nothing but shooting the breeze with farmers, but now she just writes, runs the New Adult Addiction and Clean Teen Reads Book Blogs, and runs an online science classroom for homeschoolers.
