It was Sloane who yanked Emily out of her shell and made life 100% interesting. But right before what should have been the most epic summer, Sloane just…disappears. All she leaves behind is a to-do list.

On it, thirteen Sloane-inspired tasks that Emily would normally never try. But what if they could bring her best friend back?

Apple picking at night? Okay, easy enough.

Dance until dawn? Sure. Why not?

Kiss a stranger? Um...

Emily now has this unexpected summer, and the help of Frank Porter (totally unexpected), to check things off Sloane's list. Who knows what she’ll find?

Go skinny-dipping? Wait...what?

About three things I was absolutely positive.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him—and I didn't know how dominant that part might be—that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.In the first book of the Twilight Saga, internationally bestselling author Stephenie Meyer introduces Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, a pair of star-crossed lovers whose forbidden relationship ripens against the backdrop of small-town suspicion and a mysterious coven of vampires. This is a love story with bite.

 When Drix was convicted of a crime--one he didn't commit--he thought his life was over. But opportunity came with the new Second Chance Program, the governor's newest pet project to get delinquents off the streets, rehabilitated and back into society. Drix knows this is his chance to get his life back on track, even if it means being paraded in front of reporters for a while.

Elle knows she lives a life of privilege. As the governor's daughter, she can open doors with her name alone. But the expectations and pressure to be someone she isn't may be too much to handle. She wants to follow her own path, whatever that means.

When Drix and Elle meet, their connection is immediate, but so are their problems. Drix is not the type of boy Elle's parents have in mind for her, and Elle is not the kind of girl who can understand Drix's messy life.

But sometimes love can breach all barriers. 

Fighting against a society that can't imagine them together, Drix and Elle must push themselves--Drix to confront the truth of the robbery, and Elle to assert her independence--and each other to finally get what they deserve.

I'm Back!!!

 

Hi everybody! I'm back. I'm sorry I've been missing for the last four months, but life has been hectic rollercoaster. I moved, and not just down the street.... to a whole new continent. 

I'm currently an au pair for a beautiful family in Los Angeles, California, which is a far cry from my small town in Ireland. So between the stress of packing and sorting out legalities with the US, and then actually arriving here and dealing with the culture shock and settling into such a bizarre environment, I really haven't really had the motivation to blog. 

So I apologise, but I hope you can forgive me and understand why I've been gone. I hope you haven't missed me too much! I know I've missed all of you quite a lot. 

I can't promise I'll blog as often as I used to, as life is really busy over here, between working with the four beautiful girls in my host family, to being a complete tourist on the weekends! But I can promise I will never stop reading, and whenever I can find a spare second I will try and review or just pop in for a quick visit. 

I love you all!
