BLURB

This charming YA rom-com follows a strong-willed, ambitious teen as she teams up with her childhood frenemy to start a dating-advice column, perfect for fans of Emma Lord and Gloria Chao.

Juliana Zhao is absolutely certain of a few things:

1. She is the world’s foremost expert on love.

2. She is going to win the nationally renowned Asian Americans in Business Competition.

When Juliana is unceremoniously dropped by her partner and she’s forced to pair with her nonconformist and annoying frenemy, Garrett Tsai, everything seems less clear. Their joint dating advice column must be good enough to win and secure bragging rights within her small Taiwanese American community, where her family’s reputation has been in the pits since her older sister was disowned a few years prior.

Juliana always thought prestige mattered above all else. But as she argues with Garrett over how to best solve everyone else’s love problems and faces failure for the first time, she starts to see fractures in this privileged, sheltered worldview.

With the competition heating up, Juliana must reckon with the sacrifices she’s made to be a perfect daughter—and whether winning is something she even wants anymore.

IMMORTAL UNCHAINED

An Argeneau Novel

by Lynsay Sands

Published Date: March 28^th 2017

Publisher: Avon

Genre: Paranormal Romance

In a spellbinding new Argeneau novel from New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands, a dangerous rescue is just the beginning of red-hot adventure…

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of: Immortal Unchained (Argeneau, #25) . . . I have been waiting patiently for this one. We get to see a new Argeneau (Argenis, origin) and continues on the ride on to the island of the crazy mad doctor/scientist that wants to see what and how the immortals work and just how far he can take it.

SWEET. SEXY. SAUCY. SCITILATING. SCALACIOUS. SUPERB. I love the new installation to the Argeneau family. We get to see an ancient immortal that had found his soulmate in that of a young girl. He watched and allowed for her to mature into a woman, but things go wrong when he gets nabbed by the crazies and she follows. This was a high intensity impact of danger and passion. We get to see the true depravity of the man that wants more than to just become an immortal. He was much much more.

Sarita was strong, independent, sexy, sweet, and capable of more than the normal female mate. She gave just as good as she got. She could give more. She was the saucy, spice that added to the interaction from both sides passion and dangerous intrigue. While Domitian was the cool sweetness of the passion and fire.

Come take a trip to the isles of the Venezuela coast with the Argeneau family. The hunters. And of course for those that have read the previous books Lucian. We get to see the depths of this villain depravity. I loved the new addition. I have read all of them and I can say with all honesty and realness. You do not have to read them all to enjoy this one. You do not have to read them in order to get the full passion, fire, sparks, coolness of this series. Each one have its own impact on you. There are some underlying elements but there are all standalone reads.

BLURB

Ever since Domitian Argenis recognized Sarita as his life mate, he's been waiting for the perfect moment to claim her. Those fantasies did not include him being chained to a table in a secret lab, or both of them being held hostage by a mad scientist. Somehow, they have to escape…

Sarita has seen some crazy things as a cop, but nothing to rival Domitian. A vampire? Seriously? But his healing ability, incredible powers, and their mind-blowing physical connection-none of it should be possible, yet her body knows differently. Now, not only do they have to save each other, but other innocent lives are at stake. Failure is not an option, for Sarita intends for Domitian to show her exactly what an eternity of pleasure feels like…
