Waves of Sunday #33 & Giveaway

Welcome to our weekly edition of Waves of Sunday where each Sunday we spotlight a book that has been making waves in the book scene or has simply caught our attention causing a riptide on our TBR. This week is extra special because we are featuring our winner for May WoS!! But that's not all, Arlene and I couldn't agree on just one pick so we're featuring my pick for May's Winner this week and Arlene's pick for May's Winner next week!! 
All new suggestions in the comments below will be considered for June's Winner, so please leave us your most anticipated ADULT read. Please refer to our "about" and "rating and review" page to see what genres are appropriate for choices. No Young Adult picks or previously reviewed picks.  Thank you.

So without further ado here's May's Winner: Exposure by Iris Blaire. Reader AJ's BRILLIANT choice on May 26th:
Exposure (East Park #1) 
Exposure by Iris Blaire
Publication Date: May 20th 2013
Purchase Links: Amazon | Barnes & Noble 
About the book:
She’s the sexiest secret at East Park University.

Rylan Willow is the top model for East Park Exposed, the university’s underground and insanely successful erotic magazine.

Her friends know her as Evan Cosette, a biochemistry major with a flawless GPA.
East Park Exposed has kept Evan’s tuition paid. All she has to do is keep up the naïve school-girl disguise when she’s on campus and her secret is safe, her two worlds separate.
Until Dallas.

When the magazine runs a co-ed shoot to broaden readership, Evan’s partner is a gorgeous and disgustingly brilliant grad student. Evan doesn’t know how much of Dallas Whitley she’ll be able to handle, especially when he wants to study with her outside the studio. She promises herself that she can just be friends with Dallas. He has a girlfriend, after all. And Evan needs to focus.

She can’t when the co-ed printing brings sales through the roof.
She can’t when her photographer wants to crank the heat for the next issue.

Every steamy shoot leaves Evan gasping for breath, her true feelings for Dallas clouded by their camera-charade. But the more time she spends with him in the real world, the more she risks someone finding out the truth about her.

She needs to decide.
Who gets Dallas—Rylan, or Evan?
Rachel's Thoughts:
I went out and bought this after I read this description! It sounds wickedly HOT! The thought of photographing with a sexy hunk in wildly erotic poses, and then trying to keep it "hands off" after sounds like sexual tension amped up to the millionth degree!!  I'm dying to read this ASAP!

Arlene's Thoughts:
I think AJ was on to something when she rec'd this book. This sounds pretty enticing. I totally get having to do crazy ass jobs to get through school. Mind you... my stints were never as exciting as Rylan's. :) I'm very much intrigued by this novel to say the least! I can't wait to find out if the heat between these two is just as explosive when the cameras are off. Great pick!

  1. I'd have to say one that caught my eye and is on my wishlist is Extreme Love by Abby Niles.

    blurb: Dante “Inferno” Jones is used to winning in the ring. But when the MMA fighter meets pretty Caitlyn Moore, he seems to be striking out left and right. The more Cait denies his advances, the more intrigued he becomes by the sharp-tongued beauty. She’s a challenge he can’t resist.

    Comfortable with the average Joe, Cait doesn’t get it when the ultra-masculine Dante walks into her life and expresses an interest in her. Sure, she’s shed eighty pounds and her confidence is building, but there's nothing spectacular about her. Certainly not enough to hang onto a ripped babe-magnet like Dante, whose violent profession, catty groupies, and cruel competitors are already making her life a living hell.

    Dante’s light-hearted pursuit quickly becomes a battle to win her heart as they find themselves thrown together again and again—and it’s affecting his training. Cait won’t let him lose the biggest fight of his career because of her, but when her plan to keep him focused lands her in the dangerous clutches of Dante’s vicious opponent, there is more at stake than just the championship belt.
