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

For 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

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.

AFTER THE STORM by Maya Banks

Review: Whiteout & Rescued by Laura Harner

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.

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.
