Review: Wishing for Someday Soon

Wishing for Someday Soon
by Tiffany King
Release Date: Someday Soon?
My Rating: 5 Stars 
My Summary

High school senior, Katelyn, has endured more pain in her short life than anybody should have to.
She has moved about 20 times since the 5th grade... Her mother seems to think that the "grass is greener on the other side"... Her mom also had a problem with her temper and Katelyn has to endure the "wrath" of her mother when she gets angry.
Katelyn has kept this hidden from everybody. She is scared that if anybody found out, that her and her brother, Kevin, would get separated, and he is all she cares about.
Everything changes when they move to Four Corners, Montana. Everybody seems to genuinely care about her and her brother... There, she meets Max, who makes her forget everything by his touch... When she's with him, she is able to put all fears behind her and trust him whole heartily. 


My Review
I haven't been able to think of much else to say besides this book seriously rocked my socks off!!! So I must ask myself, why did I pick up this book and read it cover to cover?  It was because of the heart breaking story that I had to find the happy ending to.  It was because of the swoony romance and a guy I fell head over heels for.  It was because Tiffany King is a captivating writer, and she brought me into Katelyn's story.  I felt the pain of the abuse.  I felt the hope of this new town.  I felt what Katelyn did and those are the best kind of books in my opinion.  I can't really say much more without giving the plot away, so just know that you need to go pick up this book and find the time to read it!!!

"Waiting on" Wednesday: Fissure

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post hosted by breaking the spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Fissure
by Nichole Williams
Release Date: April 9, 2012 (i think)

Summary
Patrick Hayward’s never been a one woman type of guy, that’s why he never dates just one. However, still reeling the loss of the one woman he took a chance on falling in love with to his older brother, Patrick is enrolled—sequestered, if you asked him—at Stanford in hopes of breaking him out of his months long, beard growing, rootbeer chugging, hygiene impaired, funk.

Something breaks when a certain Emma Scarlett storms into his life his first week on campus as he’s suntanning and cat calling when he should be in class. Emma sees through his act and calls him out like she’s seen his kind a million times before, but Patrick knows he isn’t one of a million, he’s one in a million. 

Intrigued by this fascinating creature that is ignorant to his charm, surrounded by four older brothers who look at Patrick like he’s a bug they could squish, and dating the same guy for the past six years who gives new meaning to the term territorial boyfriend, Patrick gravitates to her, knowing she’s everything he shouldn’t fall for.

So, of course, he can’t help himself.

Forcing the stars to realign and slapping fate in the face, Patrick takes matters into his own hands and finds a way to wrangle his way into Emma’s life at every chance. As Emma begins to open up to him, he’s about to discover she’s thwarted by as many secrets as he is. 

But hers are the kind that make you want to keep your light on at night.

Patrick never could have imagined a more unhappy ever after for himself than the one he's about to face.

Why I am Waiting on this book...
I, like so many other fans, fell in love with Patrick Hayward!  He was an amazing SWOON character!  William and Bryn were PERFECT for each other, but I still felt bad for poor Patrick! If you haven't read the Eden Trilogy it is a must!!! Actually Eternal Eden, the first book, is free on Kindle right now so go grab it! HERE IS THE LINK! This is one of my absolute favorite series and I can't wait read this one!  


Apparently Fissure is already out...not sure when that happened because when I looked for it last night I couldn't find it but here are the links!!!!
