Mila Ali’s fiancée, Warren, is killed in a corporate plane crash. Grief wraps around her heart and soul – cushioning her to the outside world and the reality that is now her life.

After spending too many years working too many hours for a large corporation, Mila was able to let go and love Warren, even at the expense of losing her traditional Somalian father’s favor. Nothing could have prepared her for such a devastating loss, yet the fragile bubble she has built around her heart is shattered when Mila comes face to face with Blake Baldwin – Billionaire, womanizer, Warren’s boss…. And the owner of that fateful airplane. Blake Baldwin is too handsome for words, with a body that could melt hearts and a piercing stare that cut through Mila’s every defense. The encounter seems to ignite a fascination in the enigmatic Billionaire, one that sends him to the Somalian beauty’s door again and again… Mila is not looking for love—been there, done that, but Blake will not rest until Mila Ali is his. He thrusts her into a frenzy of confusion, deception, and passion. Blake just may be the bandage Mila’s wounded heart and neglected body needs, or he could be the biggest heartbreak of all.

The Problem With Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Cover + Excerpt


The Problem with Forever
Jennifer L. Armentrout



Title: The Problem with Forever
Series: Forever
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Expected publication: May 17th, 2016
Synopsis

For some people, silence is a weapon. For Mallory “Mouse” Dodge, it’s a shield. Growing up, she learned that the best way to survive was to say nothing. And even though it’s been four years since her nightmare ended, she’s beginning to worry that the fear that holds her back will last a lifetime.
Now, after years of homeschooling with loving adoptive parents, Mallory must face a new milestone—spending her senior year at public high school. But of all the terrifying and exhilarating scenarios she’s imagined, there’s one she never dreamed of—that she’d run into Rider Stark, the friend and protector she hasn’t seen since childhood, on her very first day.
It doesn’t take long for Mallory to realize that the connection she shared with Rider never really faded. Yet the deeper their bond grows, the more it becomes apparent that she’s not the only one grappling with the lingering scars from the past. And as she watches Rider’s life spiral out of control, Mallory faces a choice between staying silent and speaking out—for the people she loves, the life she wants, and the truths that need to be heard.

EXCERPT


Mr. Santos appeared at the front of the speech class like there had been a trap door in the ceiling he’d fallen out of. That took talent. “All right, kiddos. We’re going to start class off with a little exercise.” He clapped his hands together, startling the boy in the front of the room that had already drifted off to sleep. “When it comes to public speaking, practice is key. The more you do it, the easier it gets. Trust me.”

A tingling started in my fingers as I straightened.

“When I was your age—”

“A century ago,” someone muttered.

Santos shot the kid a droll look. “Cute. Anyway, when I was your age a few decades ago, the thought of talking in front of a bunch of people made me want to vomit.”

“Yikes,” murmured a girl.

There was a good chance I was going to hurl, myself.

“So it was something I had to work at. We all do. That means we’re going to kick off with a quick introduction.”

“Oh, s—,” Rider muttered under his breath. He of all people would know why this was impossible for me.

Santos continued, oblivious to the fact that I was staring at him with my eyes peeled so wide it was like I no longer had eyelids. “Each of you will stand up, face the class, give us your name, and tell us one thing you like—keep it classy, folks—and one thing you don’t like. Again, PG-rated.”

Laughter followed, but the blood was draining from my head so fast I felt dizzy. No. I had weeks to prepare for this. Talking in front of the class was not supposed to happen today or tomorrow or next week.

“Mallory.” Rider called my name in a whisper.

Hello! | ¡Hola!





English

     Hello everyone, so even when a few days ago I finished this blog, just today I had time to write and give you all a proper welcome! So welcome to my new-little world, I hope you enjoy and take part of it.

     First of all, I’m going to start introducing myself. My name is Nicole, I’m 19 years old and I’m from Chile —for those who don’t know about it, is located in the Western South America— I'm studying translation with a degree in languages and letters, I plan to work in a publisher or somewhere where I can make or do things related to books, either translating or editing them, or maybe do free-lance, no idea yet.

     These days isn’t strange to see reviews blogs with giveaways and a lot of others things, so as my 2016 project I decided to do a bilingual blog, both English and Spanish —and of course, not just reviewing.

       How did my love for books start? This started like 5 or 6 years ago in high school, and there was this girl —who was one of my closest friends until last year— she was the reader of our friends group and a day she told me to read a book —don't remember the name because I do know I didn't like it— I didn't want to at first because I didn't like to read! Well, I accepted...  then I —by myself— decided to read other... and other... and well, then another one, so not an amazing beginning but there it's. And of course, now I can't be a whole day without reading, a book or some story in Wattpad.

P.S. English isn’t my native language so I apologize if you see a grammatical error, this blog is going to help me to improve my English writing.
P.S. of P.S. I do PenPal so if someday you want to talk, just ask :) 

Spanish

       Hola a todos, a pesar de que hace unos días terminé el blog, recién hoy tengo el tiempo para poder escribir y darles una bienvenida apropiada :) Así que, bienvenidos a mi pequeño y nuevo espacio, espero que disfruten y sean parte de él.

      Primero que todo, voy a comenzar con una pequeña presentación. Me llamo Nicole, tengo diecinueve y soy de Chile, estudio traducción con una licenciatura en lenguas y letras, planeo trabajar en una editorial o algún lugar donde pueda hacer cosas relacionadas con libros, ya sea traduciendo o editándolos, y bueno, si no se da esa posibilidad, supongo que haré free-lance, aún no me encuentro muy segura.

      En estos días, no es muy raro ver blogs de reseñas con concursos y esas cosas, así que como mi proyecto para este año decidí hacer un blog bilingüe, tanto en español como en inglés, pero por supuesto no solamente haciendo reseñas.

      ¿Cómo comenzó mi amor por los libros? Comenzó hace cinco o seis años más o menos, en la secundaria —o enseñanza media, como le decimos en Chile— y ahí estaba esta chica, quien fue una de mis amigas más cercanas hasta el último año, era la lectora de nuestro grupo, y un día simplemente me dijo que leyera un libro —no recuerdo el nombre, porque estoy bastante segura de que no me gustó— debo confesar que al principio no quise, pero entonces acepté leerlo... luego, sin nadie diciéndomelo, leí otro... y otro... y bueno, otro, así que, no es un comienzo extraordinario, pero así fue. Y por supuesto, ahora no puedo estar ni un día sin leer, ya sea un libro o alguna historia en Wattpad.

Pdta. Si haces PenPal, solo pregunta :)

      I don't want to do this new journey alone, so if there was a moment where you thought about doing something like this —not the bilingual part but the blog— and didn't do it, just ask! I'm looking for a co-administrator. for whatever you want, English or Spanish.

       No quiero hacer este nuevo viaje sola, por lo que si hubo un momento cuando pensaste en hacer algo así, la parte del blog, no necesariamente lo de que sea bilingüe, y al final no lo hiciste, ¡pregunta! Estoy buscando a una o un co-administrador, para lo que sea, inglés o español.
