Preservation by Rachael Wade Guest Post

Title: Preservation
Author: Rachael Wade


Goodreads Synopsis

Fear is sabotage’s sweetest weapon.
Kate has no time for meaningless romantic charades, and definitely no time for hot college professors who are full of themselves and smitten with her. Constantly battling eviction notices, tuition she can’t afford, and a sick, dependent mother, the last thing she needs is to be distracted with someone else’s complicated baggage.
When she stumbles into Ryan Campbell’s creative writing class, he is only “Mr. Campbell” to her, until Ryan finds himself captivated by her writing and she is forced to face their mutual attraction. His cocky know-it-all syndrome is enough to send her running in the other direction, and his posse of female admirers and playboy reputation are enough to squander any odds in her favor.
But underneath Ryan’s abrasive facade is something to behold, and she can’t stay away for long. Ryan and Kate must decide who they’re willing to become and fight against their former selves if they want to make things work. That’s if academia, vicious vixens, old skeletons, and their own mastery at self-destruction don’t pummel their efforts first.
 
Preservation On Tour!



A sexy, arrogant, playboy professor. A stubborn, independent, aspiring writer. Both masters at the art of sabotage. Let the games begin. Available 5/25 from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords.

• Song: Remain Nameless
• Artist: Florence and the Machine
• Tour Date: 5/21
• Venue: The campus swimming pool
• Scene Snapshot: Ryan and Kate get to know each other during their weekly swims at the campus pool
• Anthem:

I wish to remain nameless
And live without shame
'Cause what's in a name, oh
I still remain the same
You can call it what you want
You can call me anything you want
You can call us what you want
You can call me anything you want
Everybody lets you down
In this brief hole of a town
What a difference of the rushing out
Tell me what you're running from
I know everybody lets you down
And I'll do the same
But know I'll always be around
This can remain the same

This week's question:

If you could read one book again for the first time,
which one would you pick and why?

I would pick A Rush of Wings by Adrian Phoenix this was officially my first delve into the Urban Fantasy Genre. That got me reading a whole new genre and now that I have started I can not get enough of it.  Now I would say that 90% of what I read is in the paranormal world setting. Not to mention I just love Dante from this fantastic series and I can not get enough of him. Adrian has created a fantastic world and characters to devour.

I would pick Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry because it was the very first book that I read. That was actually mine.

I would probably read  Halfway To The Grave by Jeaniene Frost. I remember I was having trouble downloading the book to read and everyone was saying you have to read this! Finally when I did, I was hooked!! LOVE the Nighthuntress Novels!!

Turned into a vampire against her will, twenty-eight-year-old Merit found her way into the dark circle of Chicago’s vampire underground, where she learned there was more to supernaturals than met the eye—and more supernaturals than the public ever imagined. And not all the secrets she learned were for sharing—among humans or inhumans.
Now Merit is on the hunt, charging across the stark American Midwest, tailing a rogue supernatural intent on stealing an ancient artifact that could unleash catastrophic evil on the world. But Merit is also the prey. An enemy of Chicagoland is hunting her, and he’ll stop at nothing to get the book for himself. No mercy allowed. No rules apply. No lives spared. The race is on.

Knee Deep Summary
Shawn is the guy Ronnie Bird promised her life to at the age of fourteen. He's her soul mate. He's more uptight every day, but it's not his fault. His family life is stressful, and she's adding to it. She just needs to be more understanding, and he'll start to be the boy she fell in love with. She won’t give up on someone she’s loved for so long.
Luke is her best friend, and the guy she hangs with to watch girlie movies in her large blanketopias. He's the guy she can confide in before she even goes to her girlfriends, and the guy who she's playing opposite in Romeo and Juliet. Now her chest flutters every time he gets too close. This is new. Is Ronnie falling for him? Or is Juliet? The lines are getting blurry, but leaving one guy for another is not something that a girl like Ronnie does.
Shawn’s outbursts are starting to give her bruises, and Luke’s heart breaks as Ronnie remains torn. While her thoughts and feelings swirl around the lines between friendship and forever, she’s about to lose them both.
