Book Blitz & Giveaway: Romancing the R.A. (Campus Romance #1) by Ashelyn Drake

Goodreads blurb:

Noelle Buckman is looking forward to making a fresh start in college, one that doesn't involve immature high school boys. The second she steps on campus for freshman orientation, she can sense the possibilities. Especially when she spots Andy, a resident advisor who’s not just hot but also thoughtful enough to open doors for a girl.

And Andy has his eye on Noelle. Even when her nerves take control and she thinks she comes off as a hillbilly with no direction, Andy can see what she’s really like and he’s more than a little interested.

But orientation is less than two full days and there’s an entire summer between Noelle and Andy. Will her attempt to romance the R.A. be as short-lived as college orientation?

He’s stunned at first and doesn't move. I start to pull away, thinking I've made a huge mistake, but then I feel Andy’s hand on my lower back, pulling me closer. His lips part, and he deepens the kiss.

Every inch of me is on fire. Andy’s an incredible kisser, but the position we’re in is awkward. I reach my hands up and bury my fingers in his hair, which prompts him to lift me onto his lap. Much better. Our bodies are pressed so close I can feel every inch of him. My lungs are screaming for air, but I’m not willing to give in to them. I've been dying to kiss Andy ever since he first smiled at me, and I’ll be damned if I’m backing away that quickly.

His hands move up my back to my hair, and he pulls my head back gently exposing my neck. His lips trail down my jaw and to the nape of my neck. I bite my lip to stifle a moan, but it manages to slip out anyway. Andy slowly eases off, opening his eyes to see my reaction. I debate pulling his lips back to mine, but for the moment I drape my arms around his shoulders and just stare into his baby blue eyes. 

“Wow.”

He can say that again. “Yeah.”

“I can honestly say that’s the first time I didn't have to make the first move.”

“And it’s the first time I ever made the first move.”

He smiles. “Then I’m honored.” He leans forward and places a single kiss on my neck. His hips rise under me, and I know exactly where he’s hoping this is going to lead. My body is screaming for his touch, but I don’t want to be that girl. The one who goes off to college and sleeps with the first guy she meets. As much as I want Andy, I can’t do this right now.

Review: Dream Chaser (Dark-Hunter #14) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Goodreads blurb:

Hades doesn't often give second chances...

Xypher has one month on Earth to redeem himself through one good deed or be condemned to eternal torture in Tarturus. But redemption means little to a demigod who only wants vengeance on the one who caused his downfall.

Until one day in a cemetery...

Simone Dubois is a medical examiner with a real knack for the job. Those who are wrongfully killed appear to her and help her find the evidence the police need to convict their killers. But when a man appears and tells her that she’s more than just a psychic, she’s convinced he’s insane.

Now the fate of the world hangs in her hands...

It was bad enough when just the dead relied on her. Now’s there’s the seductive Dream-Hunter Xypher who needs Simone’s help in opening a portal to the Atlantean hell realm to fight insatiable demons. The future of mankind is at stake—and so is her life. The only question now is: Who is the bigger threat: the demons out to kill her, or the man who has left her forever changed?

I missed the Dark Hunters so much! This was the serie that made me fall in love with books and is completely impossible for a book by Sherrilyn to disappoint me.

I never was a big fan of the Dream Hunters but I can tell you that this book surprised me, Xypher is awesome, he is definitely my favorite Dream Hunter.

Dream Chaser is about Simone and Xypher. Simone is a medical examiner that can talk with ghosts so she uses that to help find the killers. Her mother and brother were killed when she was young and that day when she was in the hospital a ghost named Jesse came to her and told her not to cry, since that day they never left each other. Simone and Jesse have a wonderful friendship, is beautiful to see them together. How much they care for each other, how much they love each other, Jesse is her only family and he loves to be with her.

Xypher is half demon/ half god. He is dead but in the book Devil May Cry, Katra made a deal with Hades that he would allow Xypher to be human for a month and if within that month he found his humanity, he would be free. But Xypher just wants vengeance from the person that caused him to be tortured for all the eternity, he doesn’t even believe for a second that after that month he would not get back to hell, he just wants to make sure that this time he doesn’t go alone.

This book was amazing! Like always Sherrilyn gives us many surprises, twists that we were not expecting and makes us see that just because you suppose a person is mean doesn’t really mean that they are and that some people just need someone to loved them and they can become a completely different person, they priorities can change.

We also get to meet a new character that I LOVED and I am super curious to know more about. At a certain point that character really surprised me with his actions and that made me like him even more.

If you are already familiar with the Dark Hunters world than you know that all the books are fantastic and always full of surprises and you definitely should read this book. If you are not then what are you waiting for? Go read the first book in the series, you will love it.

I recommend reading all the books in the proper order, you don’t have to do it but I think is much more nice to know what previously happened and all the characters stories.
