J. A. Redmerski - The Edge of Never
Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew by the time she was sixteen that she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. She wanted to see the world and fall in love and not be grounded to the predictable. Well, she did fall in love and had plans to check the other things off The List with Ian, but after she gave up her virginity to him, he died in a tragic car accident and Camryn was never the same. Shortly after, her parents divorced, her older brother went to jail, her new boyfriend cheated on her and she had had enough.
Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward with her life, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job rather than living off her family’s money, but after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she’s ever known, far behind.
With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. But what she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. She promised herself that she would never get too close even to a friend, especially after what her best friend did after the night at the club. And she vowed never to fall in love.
But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought she’d do. He shows her what it’s really like to live out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But will Andrew’s dark secrets push them inseparably together, or tear them completely apart?
Jamie McGuire - Walking Disaster
Beautiful Disaster told in Travis point of view.
How much is too much to love?
Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.
In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. Just when he thought he was invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.
Every story has two sides. In Jamie McGuire's New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster Abby had her say. Now it's time to see the story through Travis's eyes.
Jamie McGuire - Beautiful Disaster
The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate percentage of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance between her and the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend America, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.
Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs—and wants—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the charming college co-ed. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his charms, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’ apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.
Jamie McGuire - Gyönyörű sorscsapás
Az új Abby tökéletes. Nem iszik, kerüli a káromkodást, a pólói kifogástalan rendben sorakoznak a szekrényében – azt hiszi, elegendő távolság választja el a múltjában rejlő sötétségtől. De amikor megérkezik a legjobb barátjával, Americával a főiskolára, az új élet felé vezető útja gyorsan megváltozik.
Travis izmos testét tetoválások borítják, tipikus laza srác, azt testesíti meg, amire Abbynek szüksége van – és amit szeretne elkerülni. Abby távolságtartása felkelti a kíváncsiságát, és cselhez folyamodik egy egyszerű fogadás segítségével: ha ő veszít, önmegtartóztató marad egy hónapig, ha Abby marad alul a játszmában, Travisnél fog lakni ugyanennyi ideig. Travis nem is sejti, hogy a párjával hozta össze a sors, akármelyikük is nyer.
Szerelem és játék keveredik a népszerű írónő, Jamie McGuire regényében, amely a fiatal olvasók körében nagy népszerűségre számíthat. Ne hagyd ki, játszd meg te is a tétjeidet! Szerinted Abby nyer vagy Travis? Vagy ebben a játékban nincsenek vesztesek?
"Bámulatos olvasmány, csupa nagyszerű szereplővel, izgalmas és nagy sóhajtozásokra késztető pillanatokkal, drámával, nevetéssel és széles érzelmi skálával. Komoly hírnevet kívánunk, Jamie!"

Stephenie Meyer - A burok
A Földet elfoglalta a világűrből érkező idegen faj, amelynek tagjai irányításuk alá vonják az emberek elméjét, miközben testüket érintetlenül hagyják. Az emberiség túlnyomó része feladta, az ő testük már csak egy burok. A betolakodók magukkal hozták a rák ellenszerét, megszüntették a háborúkat, a Földet paradicsommá változtatták. Saját maguk számára.
Amikor egy nagyhírű, különc, világról világra vándorló lélek érkezik a bolygóra, az utolsó lázadók egyikének testét kapja ittlétéhez. A Vándor, aki Melanie Stryder testébe költözik, ismeri a nehézségeket és kihívásokat, amelyekkel szembe kell néznie egy emberi burokban élve. Tud a mindent elsöprő érzelmekről és a mindennél erősebb emlékekről. Egyvalamire azonban nem készült fel. Arra, hogy új testének előző lakója nemhogy nem költözött ki a burokból, de egyenesen visszaköveteli a tulajdonát. Melanie nem hajlandó feladni, nem hajlandó eltűnni.
Ő egy kőkemény lány, aki a végsőkig küzdeni fog a testébe betolakodó idegen létforma ellen.
Melanie megtölti a Vándor elméjét az emlékeivel és képekkel a szerelméről, aki egy távoli helyen bujkál, és még mindig nem adta fel a harcot az idegenek ellen. Mivel a Vándor képtelen ellenállni a rátörő érzelmeknek, vágyakozni kezd a férfi után, akivel még soha nem találkozott. Aztán egy váratlan fordulatnak köszönhetően Melanie és a Vándor szövetségesekké válnak, és a két lélek ugyanabban a burokban vág neki az arizonai sivatagnak, hogy megtalálják a férfit, akibe mindketten szerelmesek…

Then Jacqueline discovers a withheld connection between her supportive tutor and her seductive classmate, her ex comes back into the picture, and her stalker escalates his attention by spreading rumors that they’ve hooked up.
