Stacking The Shelves #79 – BB&B #29
Stacking The Shelves, hosted by Tynga’s Reviews is all about the latest additions to your library – virtual or actual, with books that are bought, borrowed, won or ARCs you will be reading soon. BB&B is a homage to to Barron’s Books and Baubles from Karen Marie Moning’s amazing Fever series, and is hosted by Braine over at Talk Supe.
ARCs received from author:
Seduced (Undercover #1) – Helena Newbury
I am out of my depth.
Yesterday, I was just a CIA languages geek, safe behind a desk. I thought I wanted a taste of the action.
Then I met him. Luka. Arms dealer. Russian mafia. A man who’ll kill to get what he wants. And he wants me.
Now I’m on a plane to Moscow with orders to “accidentally” run into him again. Seduce him. Sleep with him.
I can’t control myself when I’m near him.
And if he finds out who I really am, I’m dead.
Conflicted (Undercover #2) – Helena Newbury
Part 2 in the New Adult Romantic Suspense serial, “Undercover.”
I’ve become the girlfriend of one of the most dangerous men in Russia.
Everyone tells me he’s a monster. But I’ve glimpsed the man underneath. The one who might just be able to heal my pain.
I try to remember who I am. Where my loyalties lie.
I try to convince myself I’m not falling for him.
Betrayed (Undercover #3) – Helena Newbury
The final part of the New Adult Romantic Suspense serial, “Undercover.”
I have to choose between saving him and saving us.
Everything seemed so simple back in the US. He was the bad guy. I was going to stop him.
Then I saw the evil he does…and the good inside him.
Now they’re asking me to do the unthinkable.
And no matter which side I betray, I’m going to lose him forever.

And here are three I received last week, but due to no internet, I couldn’t change my already prepared STS / BB&B post, nor actually receive these on my kindle:
Instinct (Chronicles of Nick #6) – Sherrilyn Kenyon
Zombies, demons, vampires, shapeshifters— another day in the life of Nick Gautier– and those are just his friends. But now that he’s accepted the demon that lives inside him, he must learn to control it and temper the very emotions that threaten the lives of everyone he cares for. Something that’s hard to do while trying to stay off the menus of those who want his head on a platter. And no one wants him more than the dark gods who created his race. Now that they know where he is, they will stop at nothing to reclaim him. And without knowing it, Nick has just embraced the one person he should never have trusted. The one person who will hand him over to his enemies to get back the life they lost.
Nick has finally accepted his fate, now he must learn to defy his destiny, and the dark, deadly forces that will stop at nothing to destroy everyone he loves so that they can again return to the world of man and own it.
Sisters of Blood and Spirit (Sisters of Blood and Spirit #1) – Kady Cross
Wren Noble is dead—she was born that way. Vibrant, unlike other dead things, she craves those rare moments when her twin sister allows her to step inside her body and experience the world of the living.
Lark Noble is alive but often feels she belongs in the muted Shadow Lands—the realm of the dead. Known as the crazy girl who talks to her dead sister, she doesn’t exactly fit in with the living, though a recent suicide attempt and time in a psych ward have proved to her she’s not ready to join her sister in the afterlife.
Now the guy who saved Lark’s life needs her to repay the favor. He and his friends have been marked for death by the malevolent spirit of a vicious and long-dead serial killer, and the twins—who should know better than to mess with the dead—may be their only hope of staying alive.
The Shadows (Black Dagger Brotherhood #13) – J.R. Ward
Trez “Latimer” doesn’t really exist. And not just because the identity was created so that a Shadow could function in the underbelly of the human world. Sold by his parents to the Queen of the S’Hsibe as a child, Trez escaped the Territory and has been a pimp and an enforcer in Caldwell, NY for years- all the while on the run from a destiny of sexual servitude. He’s never had anyone he could totally rely on… except for his brother, iAm.
iAm’s sole goal has always been to keep his brother from self-destructing- and he knows he’s failed. It’s not until the Chosen Serena enters Trez’s life that the male begins to turn things around… but by then it’s too late. The pledge to mate the Queen’s daughter comes due and there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no negotiating.
Trapped between his heart and a fate he never volunteered for, Trez must decide whether to endanger himself and others- or forever leave behind the female he’s in love with. But then an unimaginable tragedy strikes and changes everything. Staring out over an emotional abyss, Trez must find a reason to go on or risk losing himself and his soul forever. And iAm, in the name of brotherly love, is faced with making the ultimate sacrifice…
The nicest thing is that now, my kindle looks like this – aren’t those covers just very enticing all together like this?
Did you get some exciting-looking books this week? Remember to leave me your link so I can check out your Stacking the Shelves and or Bought, Borrowed and Bagged post, too 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! Have a spectacular Saturday.
I had some internet issues as well this week. I really enjoyed Sisters of Blood and Spirit. I got Instinct as well. Hope you enjoy all your new books.
Internet issues makes me feel like I’m in the stone-age… I hope your issues are solved now, Grace. I’m glad you enjoyed Sisters of Blood and Spirit, I’ve been curious about that one for a long time!
Have a great weekend 🙂

That Undercover series looks fantastic! I need to check it out. Enjoy!
Check out my STS
Genesis @ GenGen’s Book Blog
Yeah, it looks fabulous, Genesis! I can’t wait to start reading 🙂
Mmm… I’m loving all those yummy covers. Hope you enjoy all your new books and have a great weekend.
I know… sometimes, I catch myself just staring at the covers 😉
One thing that really puts me off a book is having half naked models on the cover, whether it is male or female! I’m guessing these will not be my kind of read! *grins* Hope you have fun with all your books when you get a chance to read them!
LOL, well, then you know very easily which books to steer clear of, Chuckles 😉 I do tend to enjoy those romance stories, so it’s a clue for me as well.
Happy reading!
Sisters of Blood and Spirit sounds like a cool concept. I’ve heard of Sherrilyn Kenyon before, of course, but somehow not her Nick series – that could be very cool.
The Chronicles of Nick series is set in her Dark Hunter universe, but it’s more YA with characters that are a bit younger.
Happy reading 🙂
The Undercover series look and sound really great. Those covers *drools* =D And BDB! I’m sooo behind on those books. I think I’ve only read the first 3.
Happy Reading!
I know, right? Newbury is a great NA writer, so I’m looking forward to those even more 🙂
Sisters of Blood and Spirit looks really intriguing. I hope that you enjoy it and the rest of your books. Have a great weekend!
Yeah, I have been waiting on Sisters of Blood and Spirit for a long time, Chrissi 🙂 Have a great weekend yourself 🙂
OOoh nice! Lots of new to me ones, but I did read Kady Cross’s book and LOVED it! Love her books basically! LOL! Thought it was a different kind of read and cannot wait for the next one! Hope you enjoy all your new reads!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so be sure to stop by then!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I haven’t read any books by Kady Cross yet, but I’m really looking forward to this one, Jessica.
J.R Ward is an amazing author hope you like her new book.
my stacking the shelves
yeah, I hope so too, Christine!
I want those books from Helena Newbury, too!!! They look hot and sound great! When do they release?!? *hahaha* Oh, and *I* made you do it, huh? But I think you’ll really enjoy the boys of Tempest, Lexxie. 😉 You made quite the haul, my dear. I have this feeling you’re going to *love* every single one!
Enjoy your weekend! You go back home today?? I know you hated to leave but it’ll be nice being home too, no? Get those things done so you can relax, okay! 31 more days!!!!! **BIG HUGS**
They actually released in late March, Brandee, so you could get them straight away 😉 And yes, you definitely made me do it!!
We came back yesterday, I didn’t want the weekend traffic, as I was alone with the two youngest in the car… no need to spend more time driving than absolutely necessary. I have graded half the papers already, and the grades are really good! I’m amazed 🙂
31 more days!!! That’s amazing, Brandee. *BIG HUGS*
I haven’t read a BDB book in a long time but after the debates over this recent one, I’m unsure I’ll ever pick up the series again. It has turned into “not my cup of tea” very quickly. I hope you like it.
Tsuki’s STS
Hmm… I’m guessing I should consider myself lucky I haven’t seen any of the debates over this last BDB story, then, Tsuki… I would hate to have anything spoiled!
Happy reading.
Ooh, Sisters of Blood and Spirit looks fun! Hope you enjoy all the new books.
Yes, I’m very excited about that one, Nikki!!
One day I’ll have to try a Ward book. The others are new to me. Happy reading!
You definitely should try a Ward book Melliane 🙂 Have a great weekend!

I am a few books behind in the BDB series, I must make time to catch up! Such sexy covers too, Lexxie!
