Heavy in Your Arms ~ What's Your Song {34}


Heavy in Your Arms by Florence + The Machine

I was a heavy heart to carry 
My beloved was weighed down 
My arms around his neck 
My fingers laced to crown. 
 I was a heavy heart to carry 
My feet dragged across ground 
And he took me to the river 
Where he slowly let me drown 
 My love has concrete feet 
My love's an iron ball 
Wrapped around your ankles
 Over the waterfall 
 I'm so heavy, heavy 
Heavy in your arms 
I'm so heavy, heavy 
Heavy in your arms 
 And is it worth the wait 
 All this killing time? 
Are you strong enough to stand 
Protecting both your heart and mine? 
 Who is the betrayer? 
Who's the killer in the crowd? 
The one who creeps in corridors 
And doesn't make a sound 
My love has concrete feet 
My love's an iron ball 
Wrapped around your ankles 
 Over the waterfall 
 My love has concrete feet 
My love's an iron ball 
Wrapped around your ankles 
 Over the waterfall 
 I'm so heavy, heavy 
Heavy in your arms 
I'm so heavy, heavy 
So heavy in your arms 
 This will be my last confession 
I love you never felt like any blessing 
 (Ohhhh) 
Whispering like it's a secret 
 Only to condemn the one who hears it 
With a heavy heart 
 Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms 
(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms 
(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms 
(i'm so) Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms 
 I was a heavy heart to carry my beloved was weighed down 
My arms around his neck 
My fingers laced to crown 
 I was a heavy heart to carry 
But he never let me down 
When he had me in his arms 
My feet never touched the ground 
 I'm so heavy, heavy in your arms. 
 Heavy, i'm so heavy in your arms.

Waiting on Wednesday {103}: Better off Friends @ElizEulberg

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. It is showcases upcoming releases of books that I'm looking forward to. It is somewhat similar to one of my previous posts, Anxiously Awaiting. {Button courtesy of Bewitched Bookworms}

Better off Friends
Elizabeth Eulberg
February 25, 2014

Better off FriendsFor Macallan and Levi, it was friends at first sight. Everyone says guys and girls can’t be just friends, but these two are. They hang out after school, share tons of inside jokes, their families are super close, and Levi even starts dating one of Macallan’s friends. They are platonic and happy that way.
Eventually they realize they’re best friends — which wouldn’t be so bad if they didn’t keep getting in each other’s way. Guys won’t ask Macallan out because they think she’s with Levi, and Levi spends too much time joking around with Macallan, and maybe not enough time with his date. They can’t help but wonder . . . are they more than friends or are they better off without making it even more complicated?

From romantic comedy superstar Elizabeth Eulberg comes a fresh, fun examination of a question for the ages: Can guys and girls ever really be just friends? Or are they always one fight away from not speaking again — and one kiss away from true love?

Bloodstream ~ What's Your Song {33}


Bloodstream by Stateless

Wake up and look me in the eyes again I need to feel your hand upon my face Words can be like knives They can cut you open And then the silence surrounds you And haunts you

I think I might've inhaled you I can feel you behind my eyes You've gotten into my bloodstream I can feel you flowing in me

Words can be like knives They can cut you open And then the silence surrounds you And haunts you

I think I might've inhaled you I can feel you behind my eyes You've gotten into my bloodstream I can feel you flowing in me

The spaces in between Two minds and all the places they have been The spaces in between I try to put my finger on it I try to put my finger on it

I think I might've inhaled you I can feel you behind my eyes You've gotten into my bloodstream I can feel you flowing in me

I think I might've inhaled you I can feel you behind my eyes You've gotten into my bloodstream I can feel you floating in me

Letting Go
Maya Banks 
February 4, 2014

Letting Go (Surrender Trilogy, #1)Josslyn found perfection once, and she knows she’ll never find it again. Now widowed, she seeks the one thing her beloved husband couldn’t give her. Dominance. Lonely and searching for an outlet for her grief and wanting only a brief taste of the perfection she once enjoyed, she seeks what she’s looking for at an exclusive club that caters to people indulging in their most hedonistic fantasies. She never imagined that what she’d find is the one man who’s long been a source of comfort—and secret longing. Her husband’s best friend.

Dash has lived in an untenable position for years. In love with his best friend’s wife and unwilling to act on that attraction. He’d never betray his best friend. And so he’s waited in the wings, offering Joss unconditional support and comfort as she works past her grief, hoping for the day when he can offer her more.

When he finds her in a club devoted to the darker edges of desire, he’s furious because he thinks she has no idea what she’s getting herself into. Until she explains in detail what it is she wants. What she needs. As realization sets in, he is gripped by fierce, unwavering determination. If she wants dominance, he is the only man who will introduce her to that world. He is the only man who will touch her, cherish her…love her. And the only man she’ll ever submit to.

Review: Whiteout & Rescued by Laura Harner

Whiteout (Three's Allowed, #1)

The immediate sex had by these three I didn't find very believable. There didn't seem to be any working up to it. They'd had a crush on Christina for years and then all of sudden they finally work up the nerve to act during a snowstorm?

The whole rapid progression of Cade and Carter's feelings for one another was also unrealistic. I'm not sure if I overlooked what finally got them to act on their feelings or if the author never addressed it. Either why, it was way too quickly. I didn't feel the chemistry or any kind of connection with these three.


Rescued (Three's Allowed, #2)
I really enjoyed this one from the start. The chemistry between the three of them was immediately felt. The overall story was deeper than sex just for the sake of sex, which is always a plus. I only wish the story was longer so that it would have allowed for their relationship to fully develop.

I did think that Elizabeth seemed to get of her abuse rather quickly, which threw some wrenches into the overall believability of the story. Other than that, this is a good read for those looking for a bi-ménage.

Only If For A Night ~ What's Your Song? {32}


Only If For A Night by Florence + The Machine

And I had a dream About my old school And she was there all pink and gold and glittering I threw my arms around her legs Came to weeping (came to weeping) Came to weeping (came to weeping)

And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night

And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night

And the grass was so green against my new clothes And I did cartwheels in your honour Dancing on tiptoes My own secret ceremonials Before the service began In the graveyard doing handstands

And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night

And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night

Madam, my dear, my darling Tell me what all the sighing's about Tell me what all the sighing's about

And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night

Only if for a night

Dark Wolf
Christine Feehan
January 7, 2014

Dark Wolf (Dark, #25)In Dark Lycan, Christine Feehan journeyed into the heart of the Carpathians, and into the souls of two lifemates stirred by the flush of passion and the threat of annihilation. In Dark Wolf, the breathtaking story continues as the bonds of family are imperiled, and the fate of two lovers lies hidden in the seductive shadows between life and death.

Skyler Daratrazanoff always recognized the miracle that was Dimitri Tirunul, a man beyond any dream that had ever engaged her nights. But she was human. Vulnerable. He was Carpathian. Nearly immortal. She was nineteen. He was an ancient. Yet she held half his soul, the light to his darkness. Without her, he would not survive. Caught between the two warring species, Dimitri has spent centuries hunting the undead to keep his people free, and humans safe. He had survived honorably when others had chosen to give up their souls. But now, marked for extermination by the Lycans, Dimitri found himself alone, and fearing for his life. But salvation was coming…

No Lycan would ever suspect someone like Skyler to dare mount a secret rescue operation. A teenage girl. A human of untested abilities. But she had something no one else had. She was predestined for Dimitri—as he was for her. And there was nothing stronger for Skyler than her desire to see her life-dream come true. Whatever the risk.

Review: Black and Blue by Gena Showalter

Black and Blue (Otherworld Assassin, #2)
Publish Date: October 22, 2013
Mass Market Paperback {p.387}
Genre: Paranormal
Series: Otherworld Assassin #2
Source: Personal Library
Evangeline Black, Corbin Blue
He is every woman’s fantasy

Corbin Blue is a man of many talents. One of the most powerful otherworlders ever born, he is wealthy, a professional football star, and a legend in the bedroom. But only a select few know he is also a black ops agent…and there is no better killer. When he and his crew are attacked and separated, he’s forced to turn to his boss’s daughter for help—a woman with even more secrets than Blue.

She becomes his only obsession…

Evangeline Black has always been wary, guarded. No man has ever breeched her walls. Until Blue. He has never been denied something he wants, and now, he’s decided he wants her. As he sweeps her into his double life of seduction, intrigue, and danger, he helps her see beyond the darkness of her own past. But as an enemy closes in, Blue will have to let Evie go to keep her safe—even though he'd rather die than live without her…

This story started out slow and I never really got into. Blue and Evie had some very funny moments together, but I never truly connected with either one of them. It was a struggle just to finish it.

Evie constantly berated Blue for being a "man-whore" but in the same time wanted to be one of his long list of many. Beyond their connection of Michael, Evie's father and Blue's boss, they have absolutely nothing in common. They had sex a couple of times and the rest of the story was just page fillers.

The communication, or speech, between the two main characters was very reminiscent of that of my junior high cousins. "Amazeballs" "Gorge" "Snugs" Very troubling for the speech of the future. Not the best I've read from this author.
