“Waiting
On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that
spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating. Basically books that are not yet out that we
are dying to get our hands on. This week’s
pick is:
Temporary High by Colette
Ballard
Out: ?
From Goodreads:
The side of his mouth quirked up as he studied
me. "I think I might be fallin' in
love."
I picked up his keys off the bedside table and
tossed them to him. "That makes one
of us."
He clutched at his heart in mock pain. Then his perfect red lips formed the word,
"Liar."
Seventeen year-old Kat Chandler has been called
worse, but she orked hard to make amends for past mistakes and gain control of
her life. So she isn't about to be
thrown off her game by some Harley-driving bad boy who's just moved to
town. Luca is mysterious. Aloof.
Frustrating. Kat can't stand him;
she can't seem to stay away from him either.
But she's forced to reassess the company she keeps
when she finds herself being blackmailed by her mom's con artist
ex-boyfriend. Fresh out of prison, Cross
has reappeared to collect a debt—Kat's debt.
His demand? Three grand in three
weeks or else his stay won't be temporary.
He even offers a suggestion on how to get the cash—and it involves Luca.
Desperate to keep Cross out of her life and the
people she cares about safe, Kat devises a plan that will cost her more than
just money. She will have to give up
control, her hard-won integrity, and possibly the only guy she's ever fallen
for.
My thoughts:
This
is a sequel/companion on Running on Empty.
I read Running on Empty when it first came out, as an ARC so before
hand. I just loved the story and the
friendships inside the pages. I have
been eagerly waiting for this book since I found out about it. Even more so since I had the fun to hang out
and jabber with the amazing author herself at YALLfest. Sadly, Temporary High was supposed to be
released in August but got pushed back and there isn't a 100% solid day just
yet but I am ready and waiting when it does.
I want to see Kat's story as she was such a great character in Running
on Empty. My review is here and I also interviewed Colette which you can find here.
That’s
one I’m waiting on. What are you waiting
on? Share in the comments below!
