First things first a note to YA blog followers: This post has nothing to do with the YA Blogger drama earlier in the week; because of my content I am not uh I can't participate in IMM. So I made up my own. As for the drama I take no stance in that shitstorm, i'm neutral and I'd like to stay that way. So no nasty comments on my blog thank you very much. A simple reminder that we're a drama free zone.
Now onto The Book Pile
Yeah, I know those two surely are not books, and I don't think they've been reading either. However, in-case you hadn't noticed I review mostly erotica.
So this is my these are "the titles I received in my inbox this week". I've seen YA blogs do these, I didn't join in because they're YA, I don't generally do YA, I do mostly erotica, I can't exactly link my (insert inbox/mailbox meme here) post to theirs. So I'm gonna do my own thing, and if any of you know of any 18+ blogs that does meme like this, please point me in their direction. So I'm not by myself. Or you can join me, so I'm not by myself.
The point of this meme is to show what I've received, bought, borrowed, etc, and in my case so you can see what I get on a weekly basis. You should of seen what I got last week! This week though I safely stayed away from the bookstore and the library.
Also there are three 1 Night Stand Series in the Pile, look for those reviews on Thursdays, one each Thursday (starting this week)
eBooks I received this week, it's gonna be a long one.
Want
Julianne counts the days until she can pack her bags and leave her old-money, tradition-bound Southern town where appearance is everything and secrecy is a way of life. A piano virtuoso, she dreams of attending a prestigious music school in Boston. Failure is not an option, so she enlists the help of New England Conservatory graduate Isaac Laroche.
Julianne can’t understand why Isaac suddenly gave up Boston’s music scene to return to the South. He doesn’t know her life depends on escaping it before she inherits her mother’s madness. Isaac knows he must resist his attraction to a student ten years his junior, but loneliness and jealousy threaten his resolve.
Their indiscretion at a Mardi Gras ball—the pinnacle event for Mobile’s elite—forces their present wants and needs to collide with sins of the past.
Will Julianne accept the help she’s offered and get everything she ever wanted, or will she self-destruct and take Isaac down with her?

With Gabe's help, Neela's memory begins to return, and ugly truths emerge. Snagged in a violent, illegal scheme, Neela will have to struggle for survival. The nightmare is not over yet.
Meanwhile, Gabe has managed to find a tear between the dream world and the real world, but will he arrive too late to help his Neela?
