Waiting On Wednesday: Wicked Cravings / The Liberator


"Waitng On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Two novels I am waiting for and both heroes are named Dante.

Loved Feral Sins (The Phoenix Pack #1) and can not wait to get back to Suzanne Wright sexy uber alpha male wolf shifters. Yummy!!


Adult

Blurb by Goodreads
 
Despite having been besotted with Dante Garcea since she was a child, wolf shifter Jaime Farrow figures that it’s time to move past the crush. If he wanted her, he wouldn’t have ignored her flirtatious behavior, right? Hiding her intense attraction to him isn’t easy – especially now that they're part of the same pack again – but with bigger issues to worry about and with the submissive wolf act to maintain, Jaime is resolute on moving forward. Now if only the workaholic control-freak would let her…

As the pack Beta, Dante doesn't have the space or time in his life for a relationship. As such, he ignores his intense hunger for the willful – and sometimes crazy – Jaime. Yet when her flirtations abruptly end, Dante finds that he doesn’t like losing her attention. He finds something else too – Jaime's hiding something. Determined to uncover her secret, he sets out to break through her defenses, even though being around her intensifies his cravings for her. What he finds is a problem that Jaime is convinced not even a powerful Beta can solve.

The Liberator (Dante Walker #2)
by Victoria Scott
Release Date: August 27, 2013

Bad boy, meet bad girl.

Dante has a shiny new cuff wrapped around his ankle, and he doesn’t like that mess one bit. His new accessory comes straight from Big Guy himself and marks the former demon as a liberator. Despite his gritty past and bad boy ways, Dante Walker has been granted a second chance.

When Dante is given his first mission as a liberator to save the soul of seventeen-year-old Aspen, he knows he’s got this. But Aspen reminds him of the rebellious life he used to live and is making it difficult to resist sinful temptations. Though Dante is committed to living clean for his girlfriend Charlie, this dude’s been a playboy for far too long…and old demons die hard.

With Charlie becoming the girl she was never able to be pre-makeover and Aspen showing him how delicious it feels to embrace his inner beast, Dante will have to go somewhere he never thought he’d return to in order to accomplish the impossible: save the girl he’s been assigned to, and keep the girl he loves.

ARC Review (YA): The Collector (Dante Walker #1) by Victoria Scott





The Collector (Dante Walker #1)

Publisher: Entangled Teen

Dante Walker is flippin’ awesome, and he knows it. His good looks, killer charm, and stellar confidence has made him one of Hell’s best — a soul collector. His job is simple, weed through humanity and label those round rears with a big red good or bad stamp. Old Saint Nick gets the good guys, and he gets the fun ones. Bag-and-tag.

Sealing souls is nothing personal. Dante’s an equal opportunity collector and doesn’t want it any other way. But he’ll have to adjust, because Boss Man has given him a new assignment: Collect Charlie Cooper’s soul within 10 days.

Dante doesn’t know why Boss Man wants Charlie, nor does he care. This assignment means only one thing to him, and that’s a permanent ticket out of Hell. But after Dante meets the quirky, Nerd Alert chick he’s come to collect—he realizes this assignment will test his abilities as a collector, and uncover emotions long ago buried.
 

I have been waiting it seems like for ever for The Collector (Dante Walker #1) and loved it. The cover is eye catching and portrays Dante’s character perfect.
 
The Collector was all about second chances. When Dante was living he did not have a care in the world. Thought he could do anything he wants. When he died and became A Collector he thought he still can do anything he wants.
 
He is your bad boy who is witty and arrogant. He does not know it yet but deep down inside he is good and Charlie is the one who will bring out the good in him. At first Charlie is just a job to him but the more time he spends with her the more he grows attached to her. She is nerdy and had a rough life after her parents died. She knows she is nerdy and accepts it. She holds her head up high, enjoys the little things in life. I enjoyed her character and even shed a few tears during some not so nice scenes with her schoolmates. Loved how Dante who only thinks of himself is the one to protect and be there for her. Kudos to Victoria Scott for writing about that beauty on the outside is not everything. What is inside that counts and makes someone beautiful. I Loved how Dante was able to see Charlie as a beautiful person from the good she has on the inside.
 
The Collector is a fresh new YA Paranormal novel in Victoria Scott new Series Dante Walker. I love the idea of a Collector stealing souls and look forward to The Liberator (Dante Walker #2).

Loved the cover for The Collector (Dante Walker #1) and loving The Liberator (Dante Collector #2). Love the tight black T-shirt and his sideways stance. The Grey/Black background with blue writing would grab any ones attention. I can not wait to get my copy of The Collector and meet this sexy villain Dante.
