He reached out and flipped the strap back into place, then stepped back, squelching the zing of pleasure that zipped through his finger at the heat of her bare skin. "You won't even have to clean up much. I was just going to take you the Roundup."

"Do" judge a book by its cover (1)
"Do" judge a book by its cover is a weekly meme hosted by The Thoughts of a Book Junky!Have you ever picked up a book because of its cover? Of coarse you have. Well here we get to look at some of the outstanding covers that are coming out soon! To participate, just link back here and grab the pic, and let everyone know what your favorite cover of the week is!
This week's fab cover:
The new Goddess Summoning novel from the author of the multimillion- selling House of Night phenomenon.
After her car plummets off a bridge, Isabel, a world-weary photojournalist, struggles between life and death when she's saved by the Water Goddess-with one tiny caveat: Isabel must travel to another time to seduce the legendary Lancelot du Lac away from Queen Guinevere.
The handsome knight is a dream for any woman in any century. But Isabel is the one who's seduced by King Arthur. For Isabel, a deal is a deal. Now, the King watches as fate takes from him the mysterious beauty he has come to worship, knowing all too well that any interference on his part could destroy the kingdom he loves.
My thoughts:
I love PC Cast Goddess Series and I just love the ethereal feel of this cover. Its soft, feminine and absolutely beautiful. I can't wait for it to come out!

Finding Perfect is the third novel in Susan Mallery's Fool's Gold series. I loved the previous two as well as the novella Sister of the Bride in the anthology Summer Brides. Finding Perfect comes out August 31st! I'm so excited to read about Pia and Raoul.

Review~*~ Sister of the Bride by Susan Mallery
Sister of the bride is a short Novella in the Anthology Summer Brides. It also has novellas by Susan Wiggs and Sherryl Woods. I was skeptical that two people could fall in love in 99 pages but it happened beautifully.
With Mallery's usual wit and charm Katie and Jackson have a whirlwind romance. Jackson is Katie's date to her sister's wedding. Both Jackson and Katie's mothers forced them to go together. Katie's sister was marrying Katie's ex-boyfriend and her mother didn't want Katie going to the wedding alone. Katie's family members were very worried about the fact that Katie was still single being the older sister. Hilarity and family squabbles ensue with Jackson taking it all in stride.
Jackson and Katie met when they were younger. Jackson was going by his first name of Howie and Katie thought he was a big geek. Jackson thought that Katie hated him. Their first meeting did not go over so well. When they get reacquainted at the hotel sparks fly. The novella brings them together and has them falling in love in the midst of the disaster that is Katie's sister's wedding. Her sister is spoiled and wants everything just right. Katie in the end gets what she deserves in Jackson.
I loved this novella. I was hoping to meet my own Jackson. I love geeky guys that know how to treat a lady right. I give the novella 5 out of babies.
