ARC Review: Amber's Muse by Lacey Wolfe

Amber is a quiet librarian with a secret, she is working on an erotic novel that she hopes to get published. Her only problem is that she's not exactly thriving in the sex department. She's had boyfriends in the past, but not that wowed her. Because of this, she is struggling with some of her sex scenes in her book. She decides that maybe she could use some help and the only person that comes to mind is her extremely annoying, yet sexy neighbor Jax.

Jax has been harboring a crush on Amber for over a year now and is slowly making his move. His attempts at flirting consist of him turning up at the library at closing time to use the computers and then to chat with Amber while helping her close. He isn't completely sure on Amber's feelings, but he's almost positive she has been also checking him out. Imagine Jax' surprise when Amber propositions him and asks for his help with "research" for her book.

Immediately both Jax and Amber sense a strong bond with one another and are starting to realize that their hookups are starting to feel like so much more. But Amber isn't sure she can be in a relationship with someone who is as laid back as Jax. She wants someone that is responsible and career driven like she is.

I really liked this book. Though it was a short story there didn't feel like anything was missing and the story didn't feel rushed. I will admit that I had some issues with liking Amber and her reasoning for pushing Jax away. I just didn't think her reasoning was all that valid. All in all, I did enjoy this story and I really enjoyed watching Jax and Amber interacting with each other.

RATING:

Follow Friday #16

Feature and Follow Friday is a blog hop put together by two hosts:  Parajunkee and Alison Can Read as a way to help bloggers become aware of other blogs and bloggers. It's a great way to make new blogger friends.

Q:  If you could have dinner with your favorite book character, who would you eat with and what would you serve?

Okay, so my favorite book character is Zsadist from the BDB but I'll be honest and say I don't know if I would want to have dinner with him alone. Don't get me wrong, I lurve me some Zsadist, but I tend to be on the shy side and he tends to be on the quiet side so I think it would be one really awkward dinner with us both just sitting there eating. So I'm going to go with my second favorite character which happens to be Rhage. I think Rhage would be an awesome dinner companion. He could tell me cheesy jokes. It wouldn't be awkward at all. Now for dinner, I think we would have a little of everything. Cuz I don't know if you've read his book or not, but the man can eat and that is no exaggeration. =) 

Just follow these simple rules to join in on the fun:

1. (Required) Follow the Follow My Book Blog Friday Host {Parajunkee & Alison Can Read} and any one else you want to follow on the list.

5. Follow Follow Follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also, don't just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don't say "HI"
6. If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the Love...and the followers.

Feature: Darkness Dawns by Dianne Duvall and Giveaway

Once, Sarah Bingham’s biggest challenge was making her students pay attention in class. Now, after rescuing a wounded stranger, she’s landed in the middle of a battle between corrupt vampires and powerful immortals who also need blood to survive. Roland Warbrook is the most compelling man Sarah has ever laid hands on. But his desire for her is mingled with a hunger he can barely control . . .

In his nine centuries of immortal existence, no woman has tempted Roland as much as Sarah. But asking her to love him is impossible -- when it mean forfeiting the world she’s always known, and the life he would do anything
to protect.
