Welcome to our stop on the BEYOND CONTROL blog tour for author Karice Bolton. This tour is hosted by Book Nerds tours and schedule is HERE


Beyond Control Excerpt

      I loved Brandy's dress on her, but it was so not me. Why? Because it was really tiny! One false move and noting's left to the imagination, but that was exactly how she liked it. I, on the othe hand, built a world that kept 'em guessing. That was my motto. 
      "Suddenly I'm no longer the belle of the ball," she laughed. "Holy. Shit. Is this Valentino?"
      I shrugged and felt the familiar heat run up my face. My fingers instinctively ran up the scar along my breastbone as I eyed the neckline. There was no hiding it in this dress.




Beyond Control
Beyond Love #1
Released: August 31st 2013
Publisher: Bulldog Press

Gabby Sullivan learns in college that some things are impossible to control, and whenever life has spun out of control bad things seem to happen. She promises herself that she’ll stay a safe distance from the top three culprits:

Sex
Love
Relationships

But some things are beyond control…

Gabby handles her mom’s death and brother’s sudden abandonment just about as well as anyone could at the age of twelve. Left feeling alone, she finishes high school, developing a bit of a wild streak, and lives like there’s no tomorrow. That is until an illness stops her in her tracks. Learning to control life around her becomes her comfort. With a visible scar that reminds her and the world that she beat the odds, it’s impossible for her to put everything behind her, no matter how hard she tries.

Right out of college she begins working at her family’s company and buries herself in the safety of the corporate world. No extra time, no life, no relationships. It’s safe to say she might be a little demanding and overly ambitious, but she’s got everything under control, just how she likes it.

Jason’s been trying to piece his life together after a personal tragedy, only it’s not working. He’s thrown himself into his work, but he’s only becoming angrier. He’ll never forgive himself and doesn’t expect anyone else to either.

When the back of his vehicle is clipped by an obnoxious limo driver he can’t wait to let the driver have it until he hears Gabby’s voice coming from inside the sedan. There’s something soothing about it, something familiar.

The moment she sees him, she knows her life will never be the same. But she doesn’t know why. He’s everything she said she never wanted. He’s cocky, arrogant, and infuriating. With his dazzling amber eyes, dark hair and chiseled features she can hardly remember where she’s going, let alone where she’s been and maybe that’s a good thing. She begins to let him show her what life could be, if she really lived it.

Neither wants their past to define their future, but sometimes destiny has something else in store. It’s only as their love grows and secrets are revealed that they realize a devastating connection from their past might actually tear them apart.

Book Review: Awakening by Karice Bolton

Awakening
The Watchers Trilogy #1
Author: Karice Bolton
Reading Level: YA
Genre: Paranormal
Published: September 27th 2011
Review Source: Author
Available: Amazon

Summary: (from goodreads) Alone in snowy, remote Whistler village, Ana tries to build a new life since losing her parents. With a cozy condo, a sweet-faced bulldog and an evening job to leave the days free for the slopes, life slips into a great routine. If only she could shake the guilt for not remembering anything about her parents and banish the night terrors that haunt her every dream. On a whim, Ana goes out with Athen, a guy she’s just met in the Grizzly Pub... The only problem is that she feels like she already knows him.
Within 48 hours of meeting Athen and his family, Ana’s world implodes. She falls for Athen quickly and before she knows it, a past life begins to resurface. As thrilling as the revelations appear at first, she fights against the chilling information that Athen is from the underworld. Soon she begins to struggle as her own supernatural gifts are slowly unveiled, and she realizes that the nightmares she’s been having might be premonitions and not dreams at all.
It is up to Ana to decipher between fact and fiction before it is too late, and her new love, Athen, follows in her same fate - one that is lost between two worlds.


Ana is alone in life and lives in a small village with her adorable bulldog Matilda. She has constant night terrors and doesn't know what to do about it. Then while working in a small pub some customers come in that change her life. She finally feels like she belongs somewhere and she is alive in life. Ana meets Athen and family. Let me just say Athen is adorable and I love everything about him, he is slightly secretive, but for the good of Ana. Hes a very chivalrous man, and the way they show it is so romantic and adorable.

Ana has some awakening to do in every sense of the word, she finds out that she might not be who she thought she was and Athen definitely isn't. She is trying to sort out her dreams and find out what is real and what isn't. Or maybe it is all real and she just needs to come with the fact that shes different, and not in a bad way. There is alot i cannot say about this book because then it would give away the whole plot, but I love that this book wasn't your usual Angels and Demons book. There was a twist, and I love the back story for how everything came to be. That was splendidly told. I loved the romance between Athen and Ana, it was fast to start, but slowed down and that was a treat because I though the pace was perfect. I couldn't put this book down to find out what would happen. It was a big build up and the ending, oh goodness the ending had me reeling. How could you do that to me Karice??

But thank goodness the second part of this series Legions is out so I can find out what happens because I NEED to. Ana and Athen, I'm going to be reading about you very soon and I cannot wait.
