Claim Me (Stark Trilogy #2) By J.Kenner

We pick up in this story right where we left off in Release Me. Nikki is still in the midst of her transaction with Mr. Stark, but now it's different. Their relationship has blossomed into something so much more powerful, erotic, fulfilling.

We already know that Damien is used to getting what he wants and when he wants it, so it comes to no shock that Nikki is his. But now Nikki wants more, she needs more, and my does she get it. We see her evolve in this book, she really is a strong female character but there are times when doubt creeps in and she can't help but wonder can someone like Damien ever really belong to another human being? Belong to her?

"Damien has seen me stripped bare in every way possible. And yet it seems as though I've only seen glimpses of him, and those cast in shadow."

But gosh darn it Nikki refuses to leave the man she loves, even when things go from bad to worst. She is determined to be by his side, and nothing, no one, or anything will get in her way, not even Damien trying to push her away.

Damien wants nothing more than to protect Nikki from his past, and from the secrets he holds. But he can't sometimes all the money in the world means nothing at all. Even when he tries to leave her, he can't. For he is a selfish man and needs Nikki in his life more than she might know. 

"But you're the one in control." I shift my hips a little, silently letting him know that I hold the control now. "No." He shakes his head. "That's an illusion, nothing more. It's you, Nikki. You have captured me utterly, and you hold my heart in your hands. Be gentle with it. It's more fragile than you might think."

Claim Me is utter brilliance. Kudos to Kenner who once again brings me to the edge of my seat. Of course she leave me with a cliffhanger and as far as my patience can go. I must of course take it all in good grace knowing that this summer Complete Me comes out and I get to read more about this dynamic duo.

"Bound to him. Marked by him. Claimed by him."

I am definitely Damienized so Stark me up.

New Music Tuesday

Check out the new songs I picked out for you this week: 

The Great Gatsby Soundtrack - Various Artist:

F. Scott Fitzgerald most popular book has been transformed into a movie, and now the sound track is out. It has a great line up on it. Jay Z, Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey, Jack White, Gotye and more.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but if it's a good as the book and album, I'm sure I won't have any complaints.

This is a Sampler. You can sample all the songs off the album and thank me later. (: 

Lady Antebellum - Golden:

I literally have every album by them. Lady Antebellum was a drastic part of my convert to country music. Maybe because I think of them as Country/Pop. They have the twang, but they remind me of something on the Top-40 radio station.

We mentioned Lady Antebellum on NMT before when they debuted Downtown. If you liked that single, you'll love the album.

Demi Lovato: Heart Attack

Everyone has been talking about this album, so I just got it from iTunes. I'm glad Demi is back in action. She had a struggle just like every other woman in the world, but she handled it with maturity. But not only did she mature in life, she matured vocally. She's a grown woman now, and sure is acting like it.

A lot like Love

Last week for my finals we had to present about opposites, my partner and I chose love and hate. Pretty simple concept, I opted for talking about hate, which seemed to have my ex boyfriend who happens to be in that class with me, ask me why I didn't talk about love instead. I looked at him like why would I talk about love and not have my married partner talk about it instead? He looked at me with a smirk and said “because you’re a hopeless romantic.” That led me to writing this post. I am a hopeless romantic and maybe that’s why I read all these love stories, and watch all those cheesy movies that make me cry and laugh and cry some more. I've been in love once my whole life and then I thought I was in love but realized that I was more in love with the idea than the person I was with. 

It’s something about the idea of love and being with someone that completes you that makes you feel safe and happy. But sometimes we push those people away, we let ourselves think that we don’t deserve the love and we build up walls but forget to build a door to let anyone in. All of us in a form are some kind of masochists we like the pain; we like being ripped apart and put up for a show. And the sadist in us lets us do it every time we fall in love. Falling in love doesn't hurt until you hit the ground, until you get out of the bubble you blew up. But all bubbles pop, and sometimes we need to face that rather than running from that. Yes, I am a hopeless romantic, and yes I think love can conquer all. But I also think sometimes we need to let ourselves know the difference between being in love and loving the idea that we’re in love. We need to distinguish the feelings and not allow ourselves to be with someone simply because we think it’s what we want. Being selfish is ok if it makes you happy you should never have to settle for less.

With that said I want to let all our readers know, that love is beautiful, love is pure, love is a phenomenon. But love also hurts; it wounds us, leaves scars, and can be the most painful of all emotions. But if the person we love is really in all honesty the one, we will take the pain, accept the demons that come along with it, and brace ourselves for the ride. Because you don’t let the love of your life go, not for anything, not for anyone.. 

Always remember that if it makes you happy, than that’s all that matters. Find what and who makes you happy and you go for it.

Light in the Shadows (Find You in the Dark sequel) by A. MeredithWalters

"And he asked her to share his forever." 

Clayton Reed had a lot of issues, a destructive mind, and a love that triggered him in both good and bad ways . He was consumed by darkness but in that darkness he found the light..Maggie May Young. 

Maggie would love Clay no matter what, through it all, forever. She would save him even when she needed saving, she would risk it all for the boy she loves. But when Clay leaves and she realizes she's not strong enough to be okay..her world falls apart. She realizes that living in self pity isn't going to do her any good so she attempts to put herself and her life back together. That is until Clayton comes back and once again her world is turned upside down, inside out. 

Clayton comes back to Virginia after a horrible tragedy which makes him have to be the strong one, the one to depend on. But seeing Maggie again triggers something in him. The one girl he'll ever love, his light in the darkness. 

Wanting to do right by her Clay will try anything to get another chance with the girl he loves. But is he strong enough to handle it? Are there some issues you can't overcome? How many times can you tell yourself that you're ok when you're not? 

Light in the Shadows is an amazing story, a great continuation to Find You in the Dark. It brings you up and and takes you down. You feel for Clayton and Maggie and want their relationship to overcome it all. 

"In the dark, she became my light." 

There are some funny bits. Maggie is sarcastic and well Clay is Clay so even though you know it's rough and he's going through some issues you will giggle here and there. But mainly this story is real, it shows you that you can overcome the demons who try and take over your life. But mainly it shows you that no matter how screwed up you are when someone honestly loves you, they love you for everything you are; demons and all. 

"I'll wait for you. I'll always wait for you."

Read this story and love it and remember if you're going through hell keep going. The thing about shadows is that there has to be light in order to have them.

New Music Tuesday!

So to make up for missing last Tuesday's NMT, I'll do a few extras for you. <3 Please forgive me!

Mariah Carey (Feat. Miguel) - #Beautiful

Aww sh!t, MiMi is back with a new one. I'm actually listening to this as I type about it, and I've declared, this might WILL be my summer jam. I'm so glad she picked Miguel to be on here with her. It's smooth, calming, and a new sound for Mariah. I like that Mariah can always get back in the game and effort is FLAWLESS. Married with two kids, and still hitting those high notes. WHAT?! She's my musical idol. Too bad I heard she's leaving American Idol. I LOVE YOU MIMI *Fan-girl voice*

Becky G - Becky from the Block

Who remembers J-Lo's Jenny from the Block? Well this is the 2013 Becky G version. Becky G has a cute little flow, and I like it. Representing Inglewood, CA, she's talking about her life back home, and quite honestly, I like when artist talk about their hometowns. The first time I heard of Becky G was on a Cody Simpson song, and she was a great feature. The only thing I don't like about her "style" is her wannabe chola-ness. If you don't know what a chola is, click here for the definition. If you still don't understand, e-mail Oriana.




Bingo Players - Rattle (Sexy Lady) [Feat. 2 Chainz]

I don't know much about Bingo Players, but after listening to this song, I'm on a search for good songs by them. To be honest, I've never had a thing for 2 Chainz, but I think he's slowly changing that. I don't know many songs by him, but his features are pretty hot. This song will specifically be a club hit. I don't care what anyone says. Blast it with the windows down, blast it in the gym while you're trying to get that one last mile in. I just want to put on some bright neon shorts and shake it while listening to this song.




Daft Punk - Get Lucky [Feat. Pharrell]

Daft Punk is a classic. If you don't know who they are e-mail me, I can recommend good tunes for you. Honestly, words don't do Daft Punk justice. I recommend you just listen to this song, and the fact that Pharrell is on this track is like A++.

We The Kings - Find You There

This is my first We The Kings song, so I don't have much to say about them. But I will be looking for more to share with you guys. But this song reminds me of music by The Cab, which is probably why I like it. This whole list could be my new summer playlist.
