Here’s this week’s question:



 

What have you learned from book blogging that you didn't know before about the publishing industry?
 

 

Through book blogging, I have learnt that readers are extremely supportive, not only of those writers who have agents and publish thier books through publishing houses, but also of Indie-authors who are courageous enough to venture out on their own.

 

I am an Indie-author and I am greatly appreciative of all the support and encouragement which has been given to me by my fellow book bloggers.

Reckless Magic

by

Rachel Higginson

 

Yes, I know I posted this book as my Teaser on Tuesday. But being in the middle of that very busy time of the year which we refer to as Christmas, I haven't had a lot of time for reading this past week.

 

 

 

 

Kiran stared into my eyes for several seconds looking for something I was not sure I possessed. The intensity of his expression left me breathless and the closeness of his magic made me dizzy. The electricity ran between us wildly, igniting a lightening storm in my veins.

 

Suddenly, his lips were against mine, and his hand tangled in my hair. He kissed me hungrily, pressing me against his body and wrapping me up in his magic. I kissed him back as if I couldn't breathe without him. Every place our bodies touched felt like a thousand degrees; he kissed me passionately, leaving my mouth for only a second to kiss my neck and jaw line, but then he was back to my lips with even more passion. I heard him sigh sweetly as though he waited for this kiss for a very long time.

 

 

I've almost completed this book now, and I have to say, that although it started slow, it has turned out to be quite an enjoyable read.  The magic which flows between Kiran and Edan is electrifying.

Reckless Magic

 by

Rachel Higginson

 

16 year old Eden Matthews has been in and out of private schools for the last two years. Kingsley is her last chance to finish high school and she is determined to simply do that. But when she meets Kiran Kendrick and her world opens to something she thought only existed in fairy tales, she's unsure what her future will hold. Suddenly she is captivated by a boy who seems to be the source of all of her problems and struggling to rescue her best friend from a foreign prison. When attempts are made on Kiran's life, Eden alone must save him. Thrust into a world that is more make-believe than reality, Eden has to find her own destiny without losing those she loves most. Reckless is an intricate story of mystery, adventure, magic and love. Eden Matthews is an unlikely heroine set on a path to save the world and her loved ones before its too late.

 

 

Now for the Tease:

 

"What are you wearing?" He took another step closer and lifted the hem of my sweatshirt with one finger, letting his other fingers brush lightly against my thigh.

 

I couldn't move. I couldn't think. I couldn't do anything with him that close.
