Dragonfly (#1 in Dragonfly Series) by Leigh Talbert Moore



Today I'm very excited to be taking part in Leigh Talbert Moore's Dragonfly blog tour!


From Goodreads:



COMING THIS JUNE!
On NetGalley until 5/27! (http://bit.ly/YCz0cf)

“Gossip Girl meets VC Andrews in this contemporary family saga. Love, lies, and betrayal become the new normal when Anna enters the world of Jack and Lucy Kyser.” –Magan Vernon, international bestselling author of The Only Exception

Anna Sanders expected an anonymous (and uneventful) senior year until she crossed paths with rich-and-sexy Jack Kyser and his twin sister Lucy.

Pulling Anna into their extravagant lifestyle on the Gulf Coast, Lucy pushed her outside her comfort zone and Jack showed her feelings she's never experienced... Until he mysteriously withdrew.

Anna turned to her internship at the city paper and to her old attraction for Julian, a handsome local artist and rising star, for distraction. But both led to her discovery of a decades-old secret closely guarded by the twins' distant, single father.

It's a secret that could cost her the boy she loves and permanently change all their lives.

Be watching for Book #2: UNDERTOW, coming in July! 
My Thoughts:

Leigh Talbert Moore's novel Dragonfly, has an interesting and intriguing story line.  With a hint of mystery, that had me on the edge of my seat near the end, and to be honest FREAKING OUT when I read the last sentence.  I turned the page on my Kindle, and then it gave me the author info.  I was like "WHAT???!! NO!!!" I honestly almost gave this book 2 Bookies, BUT then I saw THANK YOU LEIGH!! that there will be a second book released this July!! Hallelujah!

I found this story and these characters very intriguing, because Anna, while starting off as a fairly normal uninteresting (for a story anyway), turned into such a complex person!  While I will admit I was annoyed with her non-decision between Jack and Julian...because COME ON, we should all know the obvious choice (cough Julian cough!).

Jack, while a great guy...possibly one day, when he's matured a bit, needs to work on some issues, and just comes with a bit too much baggage.  Julian on the other hand, has been there for Anna for the past two years, obviously adores her, and knows where he is headed in life!

Overall rating...


I truly enjoyed this one!  I thought the characters were intriguing, the mystery and story were interesting and definitely have ME WANTING MORE!!!!!!!  I NEED this second book!!!!  NOW!!!!  Leigh, do you hear me!!! The Romance Bookie NEEDS book 2! That ending killed me!!

This book is available now! You can get your copy of Dragonfly by Leigh Talbert Moore from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or iTunes! It is only 99 cents for a limited time! :)

And I definitely recommend to you YA/New Adult fans! For you younger ones, the under 16 years old, I will warn you and let you know this contains some mature content that might not be appropriate for your age...

Thanks everyone!

The Romance Bookie :)

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnects with succe

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo Cabret I didn't have to imagine.  T

The Cassandra Clare Experience that I ALMOST Missed!! (PLUS INTERNATIONAL GIVEAWAY!!!)

Hey Everyone! Can I just say I had one of the most amazing nights Friday night!! So rewind.... Let's start from the beginning... Once upon a time my fabulous mom and I went on a little road trip.  We left at 1:00 p.m. the house, with directions in hand that told us it would take about 2 hrs. and 20 minutes to get there. Well, thanks to the beautiful view of Los Angeles traffic, and the most crappy directions EVER, it took almost SIX hours to get there!!!!!!!!!! No freaking joke!!! Mapquest SKIPPED a step on the directions so we ended up going on the wrong freeway, and getting over an hour off track!! Thanks to wonderful lady at A Whale of a Tale Bookshoppe , who had the technology needed to actually travel, not just paper directions, we were able to find our way back on track!! The event was supposed to start at 6 p.m., and we didn't arrive at the Mission Viejo Library until almost 7. When my mom and I drove into the parking lot of the library, do you know wha
