So what's up for grabs?
It's two of Cimmaron's Favorite Reads from 2012!

TWO lucky winners will receive eBook copies of the
After the unexpected death of her father forces eighteen year old Layken and her family to move across the country, away from everyone and everything she knows, her outlook on life is anything but hopeful.

 Enter Will Cooper: the attractive twenty-one year old new neighbor with an intriguing passion for slam poetry. After a night together that turns out to be everything but the expected, both Layken and Will are left with feelings they never knew they could have. Unfortunately in Layken's life, things are never what they seem. Just as quickly as it develops, their relationship is derailed by a shocking revelation, sparking a tumultuous battle between their hearts and their ethics.

As if the dramatic turn of events in her life isn't enough, Layken is slammed again when her mother reveals a secret of her own. A secret so intense, all of Layken's current problems pale in comparison to her seemingly insurmountable future. Unable to confront the changes that lie ahead of her, Layken ignores her conscience as she turns to Will for solace. Struggles ensue as both Layken and Will search for a balance between that which keeps them apart and the feelings that pull them together.


Slammed, released on Janary 2012, is the first installment of this two-part series. The second installment, Point of Retreat, was released March 2nd, 2012.
Slammed was a suprisingly strong debut from Colleen Hoover. I was totally blown away by this sweet, complicated and beautiful romance between Lake and Will. Their romance was touching, tragic, heartbreaking and left me questioning what I would do if I were to walk in their shoes. Slammed and Point of Retreat were both so emotionally compelling and left me breathless and sleep deprived after reaing both books. I think that Colleen Hoover has a very promising career ahead of her and I'm looking forward to reading more books from her in the future.

  22. I've read Meyer's Cinder and it really blew my mind... I like how Meyer used a classic fairytale and made it a futuristic story... I really can't wait for the next book cause according to what I've read around the net, the next book is based on Red Riding Hood which seems to fit the title of the second book, Scarlet... Thank you for this!!!
