CraveLiquid sex comes to mind when thinking of a way to describe Cass St. Marie lead singer of the band Crave. Though I'm not sure that's actually enough to get across how appealing this character comes across in this book. Attractive body, check, sexy southern accent, check, leather pants, check, singer, check. Do you have any idea what happens when you put all of these things together? I'll tell you, you get my dream guy. Well with the exception of a southern accent I think I might prefer something a little more foreign.Harper is a reporter for the Wakefield post working on a story about a missing girl that happens to tie into one of the hottest bands around, Crave. Harper's friend Ellen convinces her to go to their concert and talk to the band saying that they were close to the girl who went missing. Ty Langston did a wonderful job of painting a picture of what life as a reporter is like.I could feel Harper's annoyance, but also that spark of curiosity you get when you know you're on the trail of something and totally need to follow through. So of course she does and after going home, changing, and stopping by the missing girls home Harper heads to the club. Langston's description of the club and music was so vivid that I could seriously picture it in my head. The way she describe Cass, my god he sounds good enough to eat. And have I mentioned I like accents? No I like accents.Don't worry there's no drool on the Kindle, thankfully, but oh my god I was totally blindsided by the ending of this story. I slid my finder across the screen and the next story was there. I was so confused for a full minute and I kept swiping my finger back and forth to try and figure out what happened when I realized this is episode one meaning it continues in book two. MEAN! I need to know what happens now. Whines. For a short story this really drew me in and that's without the naughty bits.The Genesis ProjectI'm totally Team Adam!The Genesis Project was amazing. The idea was fresh and the execution was terrific. I absolutely loved the way Tigris Eden wrote this story. Her descriptions are vivid and her word choices when describing things make them that much more potent. I love Genesis. She's so new to everything that every time she experiences something new I just want to pet her and be like `Oh, honey," like that one episode of How I Met Your Mother, the one with Katy Perry.But I really enjoy experiencing things through her character in the story. I dislike Xander, which is sad because his name reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but there's just something not quite right about him. He gives me the creeps while simultaneously appealing to the creeper side of my personality. But despite that, I love Adam. Yes, I'm aware that's odd and he's only been in a few scenes but there's just something about him.He's angry and there's something sexy about that anger. I like guys I can fight with. I like men that spark passion, someone who has their own opinion and won't just agree with me unless they actually agree with what I'm saying. I enjoy snark and sarcasm and just being challenged in general so someone like Adam appeals to me because I feel like once we know more about his character that's what he's going to be with Genesis.The only problem I am with this story is that it ended. Jeez is it the end of the month yet so can read the second part?The Getaway"Bitch is about to get her ass beat," ß This right here is the best. Juliet is an awesome.All I can say is I love Juliet. She's terrible in the best way possible. All her poor boyfriend wants is to take things slow and she's going around wearing dresses without panties, teasing the hell out of him and being coyly provocative. It's highly amusing. This story was sweet and boy howdy crazy boyfriends Mother. It's like those scary Mother-in-laws that hate you just because you married their son except they aren't even married yet.I love that they went to this picturesque lake house to have some quiet time and relax and it's most likely going to be more stressful then they intended. Oh, I can't believe I forgot she called him ROMEO! Those of you who know me, know I have an unhealthy obsession with Chloe Sullivan and Oliver Queen from Smallville ( or Chloe Sullivan-Queen if you want to get technical) and she calls him Romeo, so that totally made me smile.Anyway I digress. I really enjoyed the first part of this story and I can't wait to find out how things go now that his Mother brought in the ex-girlfriend!
