Review: Stay With Me by Elyssa Patrick

 Title: Stay With Me
Author: Elyssa Patrick
Source: Received through Xpresso Book Tours in exchange for an honest review


Synopsis:

With one look, I’m his . . .

With one touch, he’s mine . . .

With one kiss, it changes everything between us . . .

I’ve been famous since I can remember. Singing, acting, dancing—I’ve done it all. The tabloids cover my every move, but I don’t want that anymore. I want to be normal, whatever that is.

When I leave Hollywood for college in Vermont, I’m on my own for the first time in my life. This is my chance to figure out who I am and what I want in life.

But it’s a lot harder than I expected. I can’t escape my image. Classes are difficult, and I’m struggling. And then there’s Caleb Fox.

Sexy, intriguing Caleb Fox.

Caleb is the one man who doesn’t want to use me. He breaks down my walls. He challenges me. He wants me. And I just don’t know if I can give him the same—or if he’ll stick around when he finds out my shameful secret that the tabloids haven’t managed to uncover.

Dating him is risky enough, but loving him could break me.





Review:



 
Stay With Me is the first book in the With Me series. It revolves around a young woman named Hailey, who has just decided to walk away from fame. She wants to go to college and live a normal life. Being “normal” is tough for her though – everyone knows who she is. She has never gone to a regular school before and she is having a hard time keeping up with her classes. The tabloids are saying all kinds of bad things about her – thanks to her horrible mother. Life for her gets better once Caleb walks into it though.

Hailey is instantly attracted to Caleb. She has been around all sorts of good looking famous men, but to her – Caleb is better looking than any of them. Also, Caleb doesn't seem to be interested in her only because of her fame. He genuinely seems to want to get to know her. Caleb is a great guy. He actually seems to good to be true. I think that if he was struggling with his own personal demons, or if he had a bad boy image, or something...then he would have been a more interesting character.

Hailey has this big secret all through the book. The reader doesn't know this secret until the end and there's this big build up to it. She thinks everyone will hate her when they find out what happened. I was a little disappointed in the secret though. I thought it would be something more major. I'm not saying that what happened wasn't a big deal, I was just expecting more.

The romance between Hailey and Caleb was sweet. The sex scenes were steamy. The book was just missing a little something. Some drama maybe? I don't know. Of course, I know a lot of readers like to keep things simple with no complicated drama – in that case, you would LOVE this book! I think that anyone who is a fan of New Adult romance should give this book a shot. What I really liked was the background characters. They definitely added interest to the story. I definitely want to read more about Daphne and Nick! I really can't wait to read the next book!

Review: White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout



 Title: White Hot Kiss (The Dark Elements #1)
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Source: Received through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review


Synopsis:

One kiss could be the last.

Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses.

Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever.

Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul.

But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world.




Review:




White Hot Kiss is the first book in The Dark Elements series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. It's a young adult paranormal romance about a 17 year-old girl named Layla. She is different from those around her, and she doesn't really feel like she belongs. Layla is half demon, half gargoyle. She lives among the Wardens – gargoyles who fight demons to protect the world. Her best friends are human (and clueless as to what she is).

Layla is a great heroine. She is feisty and brave, and has powers of her own. She has feelings for Zayne, a guy that she has lived with most of her life. They grew up kind of like brother and sister, but now she sees him differently. He might even like her too, but she can't kiss anyone without taking their soul. That's a big problem to have for a teenage girl. She is seventeen, and never been kissed. But then she meets Roth.

Roth is a demon, but he seems to be protecting Layla for some reason. Her job is to tag demons for the Wardens to find and kill. Roth asks her to stop. He has his own reasons, but after all – she is part demon. Roth helps her to see that not all demons are as terrible as she is lead to believe. And she is able to be herself around Roth. She doesn't have to hide her demon side like she does with the Wardens. Roth is a hot, arrogant bad boy – but he can be sweet and is very protective of Layla. They start hanging out in secret, because the Wardens would go crazy if they knew she was friends with a demon. And best yet – Roth has no soul so he isn't on a no-kiss list. However, she doesn't know if she can trust him.

There are quite a few twists and turns in this book to keep it interesting. There is a little action and a little humor, but my favorite is the romance – although I wanted more. I am a romance junkee. There is a lot of sexual tension between Layla and Roth, and also a little between her and Zayne. But things don't get very far. There is an actual plot – even if other reviewers don't think so. There's not a lot of time for romance. There are two great swoonworthy guys in this book, but I wouldn't say there is a major love triangle – though I could see one happening in the future. The ending of this book is a bit of a cliffhanger. I was surprised how it ended, and not exactly happy. It did what it was supposed to though – it left me wanting more. So now I'm curious what happens in the next book, which doesn't come out until October. I suggest reading the book this fall, right before the next book comes out.

Excerpt:

Rey is the only man I can think of who can serve my purpose. He’s the only boy in town who doesn’t despise me. He even protects me. Hopefully, he won’t find a reason to protect me from himself.
I don’t want to develop feelings for my best friend. Because of my plans, Rey has been in my thoughts constantly since the troops announced their arrival, and I hate it. To distract my mind from Rey, I venture a little further in the water current.
Feeling fresh now that I’m clean and shaved, my mood improves. I splash and swim in the water, allowing myself to relax and play.
If I swim to the other side, I might catch Divine and Joey making love in the river beach. Perhaps I should get a little bit of last minute instruction.
A rumble brings me out of my reverie and then I hear some distant shots. My survival instincts wake up and I’m instantly alert.
More shots. It isn’t possible. Nobody in town has access to gun powder or explosives. You don’t get caught with them unless you want to get executed. They have to be soldiers. Patriot soldiers.
Just then I hear sounds above the current noise. Steps on the river beach. I’m barely armed not to mention undressed and unprepared. My razors might keep Starville peeping toms at bay, but they’ll be useless against soldiers.
I hear steps approaching and I wade away. In no time I find myself far from where I left my clothes. My best chance to safely get out of this situation is to avoid a fight. I can remain hidden if I move to the other side of the river behind the rocks. If soldiers see me so vulnerable and naked, I’m doomed.
I need to hurry. I have to head home soon and make sure my dad and siblings are safe.
The steps sound like they come from only one person but I can’t be sure. As they sound closer, I notice they come from my right.
I don’t know what I’m more afraid of: the intruder being an armed soldier or the fact of being caught so exposed.
Trying to not splash attract attention, I put distance between me and the steps. Hiding behind some bushes and rocks, I submerge myself, leaving only my head above the water line.
I stand still. Several minutes pass and I hear nothing. When I consider it safe to leave my hiding place, I swim, splashing as little as I can.
Then I notice something that makes my heart skip a beat.
I’m not the only person here. There’s someone else treading the water. I can’t see how many people are around, but I can hear as someone else splashes.
A feel of panic rushes hot through my veins.
I’m surprised no one’s attacked me yet. Haven’t they seen me? Does the splashing come from Starvillers hiding from the shots as well?
For a moment there’s only silence. Then another shot startles me and I fight my body to keep calm. I swim as fast as I can, not caring about silence anymore. Better to put distance between myself and my possible enemies. The water and the current make my escape slow. I reach a point where the water is only at my knees and I’m hiding behind a trunk.
Then I see him.
A young man, so tall and built that for a moment, I think he’s Sasquatch minus the fur. The water only covers him around the thighs. No one in Starville, not even Rey, is so big or built. His strong muscles reveal years of military training and hint at the drug use that makes Patriot soldiers so inhumanly tall and big. Wet strands of sandy blond hair run down his broad shoulders. A tattoo on his back tells me he has been in combat and is to be respected. A soldier! Something tells me he’s alone.
My stomach clenches in panic. I’m terrified of Patriot soldiers. They are sadistic giants and killing machines. The tonics they take to build their muscles and stature make them extremely dangerous and violent. And horny.
I lose sight of him for a moment. He emerges in a different spot where the water is deeper. He is so tall, the water covers only up his waist while he’s standing. He must be at least seven feet tall. When he moves I can see his most private areas. Every part of him is enormous.
He’s in the very spot I left my clothes. I could wait for him to go, but what if others come to join him? What if they plan to camp here? I want to go home to check on my dad and the twins. The possibility of being discovered with no one to witness when he rapes me makes the hairs on the back of my neck prick. I won’t wait for the coast to be clear, risking discovery and gang rape.
He doesn’t seem to be in attack mode. The soldier is inclined and rubbing foam around his huge torso. He is bathing! I suspect he has a good reason to be unbothered by the shots. If he’s not startled, it’s likely whoever’s making the racket will take his side.
Suppressing the fear that runs through my veins, I force my mind to remain focused. For a moment, I consider attacking him while he’s so naked and defenseless. I’ve been practicing knife throwing with my rebel group. But I’m still learning and suck at it. I rarely hit the target. Besides, Sasquatch’s nakedness and apparent relaxed behavior are deceiving. I’m armed while bathing, so he probably is too. What if he alerts his companions?
I don’t stand a chance fighting against a trained unit of steroid-injected soldiers. At this moment my only advantage is my knowledge of the hiding places of this river. And stealth. I can do stealth.
He’s blocking the only way to get my clothes and the safer spot to get out of the river. There’s a gargantuan rock behind him that reaches not far from where I’m hiding. If I could climb it unseen, I could get back my clothes and escape. The only other option is to swim to the other side, where the current is too strong.
The soldier submerges frequently and emerges several minutes after. I pay attention to the soldier’s face. He looks extremely sad. Sadness isn’t an emotion I associate with soldiers.
When he rubs his face with foam and closes his eyes, I silently approach the low part of the current and climb the rock. I’m still naked and holding a knife awkwardly. If I can pass him, I’ll hide on the other side and then dress completely unnoticed.
I put my foot on the base of the rock. The water has made it smooth and slippery. There are few places to put my fingers and climb on. But I manage to climb my way up.
When I’m almost at the top, I toss my knife over the rock to free my hands. From here I can confirm the soldier is by himself.
Sasquatch is back under the water now and hasn’t resurfaced for a while. In spite of the danger, I’m impressed. He has lung capacity.
The higher I climb, the less visible I become to him. He finally emerges to take air, but I hide until he goes back under.
I’m close to my goal when my feet become slippery traitors.
I fall to the water below me.
Butt first. Straight toward the soldier’s head.

Prologue
In the barely lit room, there are only some gym mattresses and a couple of mirrors. I’ve set the mirrors so I can watch myself losing the V of my nick name.
My “one-hour stand” climbs up the mattresses and touches my naked trembling body. His breathing becomes ragged, his eyes are dark.
I never imagined my first time like this. In my imagination, having my first time meant I would be in love.
I always thought I would only allow myself to be with someone in that way if I really, really, loved that person. He would also be unconditionally in love with me. He would be someone who would look at me as though I was his sun.
I wanted to lose my virginity to someone who adores me. Preferably someone who had said the five magic words: “Lila, will you marry me?” I wanted to have sex for the first time with someone I’d consider worthy enough to spend the rest of my life with. If I only had more time. Eighteen is too young in my book to have met the person to whom I want to commit my life.
I wish this occasion could have been a romantic spur of the moment situation. One thing leading to other in a natural manner and then...I wouldn’t be a V girl anymore.
That would have been an ideal situation. But I don’t live in an ideal world; I live in a world defined by a civil war.
My deflowering can’t be romantic or spontaneous. I’ve been preparing my first sexual encounter since I heard the troops were on their way to Starville.
I don’t love my sexual partner. He doesn’t love me either. But it has to be him or it is going to be a random guy from the troops…through force.
My “lover” hesitates for a moment. I feel his weight pressing me to the mattress. His body tenses. I wait for him to make the next move. But I’m afraid he has changed his mind.
