Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
So wrong for each other...and yet so right.
No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with "freaky" scars on her arms. Even Echo can't remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal. But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible. Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she'll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

ReplyDeleteSome bloggers get what are called advanced readers copies (commonly referred to as arc) so they can review and help spread the word about the books. Email me if you want more info.

I have been seeing only 5 star reviews of this book and I cant wait to read it! Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy!
ReplyDeleteI love the mystery behind her disfiguring incident and that she can't remember. I can see why that would cause night terrors. Yes, chocolate! I love the character interview.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway opportunity.
I'm completely pro-paper, too! Just getting to nestle in bed with a book is worth whatever extra money it takes to purchase a print copy. Great interview, and thanks for the giveaway!
