Waiting on Wednesday (9/7)

Hey!

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

*Thanks Danny @  Bewitched Bookworms for the lovely button

Yeah, I know, I know. Don't judge a book by the cover. But Gosh! How GORGEOUS is this cover? Me wants it ASAP! Though I've always wrinkled my nose at Faerie books, after reading a certain... umm... Feverish series, I find myself drawn to quite pretty often lately. So once my radar spotted this one, I just had to add it to my TBR list!

Radiant Desire (Handmaid’s Seduction #1)
by Inara Scott

Release Date: October 2011 
Paperback, by Entangled Publishing

Goodreads blurb: 

The object of every man’s fantasy just lost her wings…

Kaia Verde is one of the four Faerie Handmaids of Zafira, Queen of the Fey. To redress an ancient wrong done to Zafira by a human king, the Handmaids make sport of mortal men, seducing and humiliating them. When Kaia sets out to seduce Garrett Jameson, but ends up being the one surrendering to pleasure, Zafira is furious. Kaia’s punishment is simple: make Garrett fall in love with her by the summer solstice, then break his heart, or face eternity without her wings—or her soul. To make the task harder, Zafira tells Kaia she cannot use her faerie magic or charm to lure Garrett into her bed.

…and now she’s losing her heart…

Kaia thinks her task will be relatively easy—as a faerie, she understands lust, and can love be much different? But once she is living among the humans, Kaia discovers the race she once disparaged is far more complex and beautiful than she imagined. She learns before she can break Garrett’s heart, she must find a way to heal it. And eventually, discovers that losing her wings may be a far easier price to pay than losing her heart. 

Seems very interesting and... hot. :D Also, Jeri Smith-Ready says it's “More sensual delights than a waltz through a fairy garden! Inara Scott’s tale of hope and surrender had me turning pages late into the night. One of the most enjoyable paranormal romances I’ve ever read!”, so more reasons for me to want to read it!:D

And while we're at Entangled Publishing, here's another of their titles a great author recommended that I had to add to my TBR pile:

Touch (Denazen #1) 
by Jus Accardo

Release Date: November 1st 2011
Paperback, by Entangled Publishing

Goodreads blurb:

When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home.

Except there’s something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her. It’s not until Dez’s father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there’s more to this boy—and her father’s “law firm”—than she realized.

Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation—an organization devoted to collecting “special” kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons—his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. The two team up with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking down Denazen before they’re caught and her father discovers the biggest secret of all. A secret Dez has spent her life keeping safe.

A secret Kale will kill to protect.

This one sounds refreshing and kick ass. And I heard it's hot, too. :)

What are you waiting on this week?

P.S. I know I haven't been around that much this summer, but I did read a lot of awesome books - books that are so good, I just have to share them with you all! :D So stay tunned, there are going to be giveaways around here soon! ;)
