Tasting Never by CM Stunich - What can I say about Tasting Never, except it pulls out your heart stomps on and grinds in the ground. This book made me believe in the perfect person for everyone, wether they are F@#$ked up or not. We can always find that someone.
"Never Ross wants to be loved. Never is a girl with a broken soul who doesn't date nice guys and can't seem to go to bed at night without crying herself to sleep. She doesn't need any complications in her life, especially not when they're attached to a man that could be her emotional twin.
Ty McCabe can't stand Never the first time he meets her. He's aware that the feeling's mutual and the two don't think they'll ever see each other again, but when fate takes a hand and puts them both in the wrong place at the wrong time, Ty and Never form a tentative friendship that opens the door on their dark sides and shows them what it's like to live in the light.
"Sometimes, the only way to go forward, is to take a few, careful steps back."
Drowning by Rachel Firasek - I cant tell you exactly why I loved this book so much. The Heroine goes through hell and survives! Who doesnt love a survivor. I had a hangover for two weeks after this one. Of course it had to be in my top 5 books of 2013.

With the patience of a saint, Seth seeks the dark that keeps Alice from enjoying life. He challenges her to exorcise the demons in her past in order to discover the true meaning of love. But when the walls fall down, the hidden deceptions will bare the ugly truth about a woman drowning in sorrow and a man who may not know how to be her hero.

In a trilogy plot thick with twists and turns, this adult dark fantasy is as emotional as it is horrifyingly gripping.
My last pick for 2013 is Good Side of Sin by Kristie Haigwood. Thoros is a demon who is in love with an Angel, so of course they both go through Hell, litraly and figurativey. I love a good man who shows he is strong and compassionate. Thoros is my other book boyfriend. I have to allow him to be with Josselyn but in his heart he knows he is mine!
Josselyn has just spent the last three months in intense Line of Defense
training so she could join Malcolm’s search party. Little did she know the
archangels had no intention of letting her bring back into Heaven an angel who
had opened a portal between Heaven and Hell, at least not before saving God's
creations from the tight grasp of Lucifer first. Three months have passed since the angel Rhyan released nine repented demons from Hell, and now innocent people are dying, but their souls are not going to Heaven. Josselyn's mission is to find the demon responsible for stealing the souls and bring it to justice before Lucifer gains enough power to rise and claim Heaven and earth as his own.
Her whole world is shaken when she discovers what tool Lucifer is using to track down the one key to the release of his eternal damnation. Thoros is one half-souled immortal she prayed she would never see again. The ex-Prince of Lust had stolen her heart and crushed it with a cheeky smile. Now, not only is she being forced to put her damaged ego aside and face the only man that has ever hurt her, but she has to work with him in order to complete her assignment.
Is she strong enough to keep from falling in love with him again? Or is their love the only thing that can keep Lucifer from getting the one thing he wants most? Heaven.
Now, to my Book Resolutions... I want to read 365 book this year.... sadly I am already behind! I hate these book hangovers!!!
Sheri's Favorites:
I loved Bully because it wasn't your typical YA story. It was full of angst, and pain, and love and hate. It's not a pretty love story, its painful but ts real. You can see why things happen, you understand the pain and you fall in love. It's life in its brutal form.Bully by Penelope Douglas - NEW ADULT ROMANCE--Bully (Book 1 in the Fall Away Series) My name is Tate. He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me so informally, if he referred to me at all. No, he'll barely even speak to me. But he still won't leave me alone. We were best friends once. Then he turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. I've been humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got more sadistic as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to stay out of his way. I even went to France for a year, just to avoid him. But I'm done hiding from him now, and there's no way in hell I'll allow him to ruin my senior year. He might not have changed, but I have. It's time to fight back. *This novel contains adult/mature young adult situations.
Aaron hurt more then almost any other book I read this year. Aaron is broken, destroyed, torn apart barely holdng on. He lost his best friend and his youth on the same night. Now all he has is the memories and the scars to show for it. He has to learn to live being broken, he has to learn to love as broken person. He finds the boy who helps put him back together.

But his life remains a constant string of nightmares, flashbacks, and fear. When, in his very first semester of college, he's assigned Spencer Thomas as a partner for his programming project, Aaron decides that maybe "normal" is overrated. If he could just learn to control his fear, that could be enough for him to find his footing again.
With his parents' talk of institutionalizing him-of sacrificing him for the sake of his brothers' stability-Aaron becomes desperate to find a way to cope with his psychological damage or even fake normalcy. Can his new shrink control his own demons long enough to treat Aaron, or will he only deepen the damage?
Desperate to understand his attraction for Spencer, Aaron holds on to his sanity with both hands as it threatens to spin out of control.
I loved Wolf Protector because it was a fun lighthearted romance. Had awesome main characters in Trent and Erica, but also had really cool secondary characters. If you know me you know I am not so patiently waiting for Jane and Ramirez's story..hint, hint Milly!! This is just an awesome read that left me very hapy.Wolf Protector by Milly Taiden - A woman with a secret… The Federal Paranormal Unit is an elite squad of supernaturals dedicated to solving missing persons cases. Erica’s gift allows her a special connection with the crime, but it comes at a deep personal cost… Until now, she’s kept her gift a secret, even from the other members of the team.

He’s spent years patiently waiting for her to admit that she wants him too. Working one-on-one in a race to find a serial killer, Trent’s patience and Erica’s resolve wear thin.

Gorgeous guy, broken woman, Tattoo's, love, pain, angst, good friends and add in that it gave me a book hangover and it you have a perfect book. One of my favorte thing is that even though this book has a good ending, things aren't perfect. Book Two is them still working out issues that arise from her being broken. It's a book that sticks with you long after you are done reading it.
Life’s been hard for Zeke. Being a punching bag for his alcoholic father has turned him into stone. Not even the dodgy trailer park he lives in can scare him. Fighting is his release and sex, drugs, and his guitar bring him peace, but deep down Zeke isn’t quite as hard as he makes himself out to be. When he meets Patience, she finds all his broken pieces and puts him back together, but she’s a ray of light in his shadowed life and the last thing he wants to do is bring her into his dark world. Playing careless is easy, playing the bad guy can be fun, but playing Patience is impossible, especially when she can see right through him. Zeke isn’t the only one who’s broken, and for the first time, in a long time, Patience feels alive. Her black and white world gets a shot of color when she meets Zeke. He’s unlike anyone she’s ever met with his tattoos, piercings, and blunt honesty. She wants nothing more than to let go and ride the wild side with him, but some wounds never heal and the broken pieces of Patience aren’t so easy to find.
