Diese Woche gibt es wieder Neuzugänge und diesmal alle von derselben Autorin: Jennifer L. Armentrout. Weil ich bisher alle Bücher von Jennifer L. Armentrout geliebt habe, die Jungendbuchreihen Lux und Covenant regelrecht verschlungen habe und total begeistert war von dem ersten Buch der New Adult-Serie Wait for You, bin ich eigentlich sehr zuversichtlich, dass mir auch ihre anderen Bücher gefallen werden, denn ihr Schreibstil ist super witzig und fesselnd. Dabei sind Cursed, ein Jugendbuch über ein Mädchen, dessen Berührung töten kann, und Tempting the Best Man und der zweite Teil Tempting the Player als E-Books, die die Autorin unter ihrem Pseudonym J. Lynn für Erwachsene geschrieben hat. Obwohl die Cover der letzten beiden Bücher einem Erotikroman ähneln, erinnern die Inhaltsangaben an die Bücher im Stil von Susan Elizabeth Phillips, die ich meistens immer in einem Rutsch durchlese. Ich bin schon gespannt :-)
Cursed von Jennifer L. Armentrout
Dying Sucks…
and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows.
Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things–including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he’s a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she’s more than interested. There’s just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden’s adopted father, a man she’s sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out. However, she’s willing to do anything to hold her sister’s hand again. And hell, she’d also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn’t?
But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not’ve been an accident at all, she’s not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not only her heart, but her life.
For real this time.

Madison Daniels has worshipped her brother’s best friend since they were kids. Everyone thinks she and Chase Gamble would make the perfect couple, but there are two major flaws in their logic. 1) Chase has sworn off relationships of any kind, and 2) after blurring the line between friends and lovers for one night four years ago, they can’t stop bickering.
Forced together for her brother’s wedding getaway, Chase and Madison decide to call a truce for the happy couple. Except all bets are off when they’re forced to shack up in a tacky 70’s honeymoon suite and survive a multitude of “accidents” as the family tries to prove their “spark” can be used than for more than fighting. That is, if they don’t strangle each other first.

Tempting the Player von J. Lynn
Chad Gamble, all-star pitcher for the Nationals, is one of the best players on—and off—the field. And right now, the notorious bad boy wants Bridget Rodgers. But with her lush curves and snappy comebacks, the feisty redhead is the kind of woman a man wants to settle down with…and that’s the last thing Chad needs.
When the paparazzi catch them in a compromising position, Chad’s manager issues an ultimatum: clean up his act or kiss his multi-million dollar contract goodbye. To save his career, his meddling publicist says he’ll have to convince everyone Bridget isn’t just his flavor of the week, but his girlfriend.
Being blackmailed into a fake relationship with Chad Gamble isn’t easy, especially when the sizzling physical attraction between them is undeniable. With a month to go on their arranged pretense, it’s going to take every ounce of willpower they have not to fall into bed together…or in love.
Leider ist mir bisher nichts über deutsche Übersetzungen bekannt, aber der Stil der Autorin ist recht leicht zu verstehen und lesen. Also traut Euch ruhig ;-)
