Waiting on Wednesday!

Okay, so I'm really excited for The Whiskey Prince(Which I have reviewed), and I've got the chance to be involved in a promotional buildup to the book! So yay! Who else is excited for this new book by Toni Aleo?

Take a risk.

Do something drastic.

Fall in love.

When Amberlyn Reilly loses her mother, her whole world comes crashing down. Having been caretaker to her for most of her teenage years, Amberlyn is inexperienced in many aspects of life. She hasn’t had time to live, have fun, or enjoy even the little things. It’s only when a letter from her mother, asking her to fulfill three things, sends her off to Ireland to live a life she never thought possible that she begins to heal.

Declan O’Callaghan was born and raised in Ireland and has his family’s legendary whiskey in his veins. He’s shy and not a fan of the pressure and spotlight that comes with his family name, or the title he was given at birth—the Whiskey Prince. Declan knows just what he wants and that is to take over the family dynasty, but when his father gives him an ultimatum, everything he’s worked for could come undone in the blink of an eye.

With six months to get married, the reclusive Declan spots Amberlyn across a lake and instantly feels the need to know her. Soon, the two find themselves traveling down a path neither expected. However, like any road, there are bumps and side streets to derail them. Can Declan help find the pieces that will make Amberlyn whole again? And will Amberlyn stay or run when she learns of Declan’s deadline of marriage?

Fast Track by Julie Garwood

(Image found on Goodreads)

"Aiden smelled divine when he wrapped his arms around her, and she tried not to react."-Julie Garwood, Fast Track

WARNING: This book contains sexual content and is not for younger readers.

Cordelia is left alone to deal with a secret her father revealed on his deathbed. And she's finally decided to get over her crush on her best friend's brother who has been utterly clueless about it. But when danger becomes the norm in Cordelia's life will Aiden finally realize that she's the one for him? Read the official description on Goodreads.

Okay, so I am going to say that I have read Julie Garwood's books before. Only the Buchanon-Renard series really so when I found this book on NetGalley I couldn't resist! And I was lucky enough to be allowed to receive a copy! So yay! But I'm also familiar with the characters and whatnot so it made Fast Track feel familiar while at the same time being new and exciting if you can understand that. The characters in this book I've met before but they've usually been more so in the background than the forefront and you didn't really get an in-depth look at them. It was great to read Fast Track and get more in depth with them as characters, learning what makes them tick and how their minds work.

Not only was it great to see familiar characters, Julie Garwood has a nice flow and incorporates emotions into her characters. Readers can't help but fall in love as these two did, and they can't resist empathizing with Cordie and Aiden both. You'd think that the book would be full of action, adrenaline and sadness but Julie Garwood incorporated humour into Fast Track as well. 

If you haven't read any of the Buchanon-Renard series, the books can be read as standalones but it's always more interesting to read the series. I found I was able to connect more with the characters and found myself looking forward to interactions that Aiden and Cordie had with the other characters because I know them through previous books. 

Fast Track will be released July 29th, 2014 and I strongly suggest you give it a read!

Overworked and Underpaid....Not Really.

(Image found on Google)

So, little update on the life of Aly. It's finally looking like spring has come to Canada! Yay! On the downside, several of my coworkers are off work for various reasons so I've been picking up shifts like crazy. Which unfortunately means that I haven't been able to read as much as I'd like to(It's so terrible!!!). But I've got some reviews coming up that I think you'll love! Not to mention a blog tour stop or two, interviews and some teasers from one of my favourite authors, Toni Aleo, who has a new book coming out June 10th which I for one cannot wait for! 

If you didn't know she's doing a month of Assassin's(a hockey series which the new book is a part of) which means since May 10th she has been releasing different things about her series. To find out more about it check out her Facebook page. And don't forget to check out my review of Taking Shots, the first in the Assassin's series and her novella in the Seduced by the Game Anthology! Both of which are amazing, especially if you like hockey....and hot men.....yes, I have a problem and I'm not afraid to admit it. Haha.
