Blood Type (Blood Type #1) by K.A. Linde

For Reyna Carpenter, giving up her body isn’t a choice. It’s survival.
In a civilization laid waste by poverty and desperation, Reyna accepts a high-paying position with the wealthy and hungry vampire elite. Her new job is as the live-in blood escort for the intimidating, demanding, and devilishly handsome Beckham Anderson. He’s everything she expected from a vampire, except for one thing—he won’t feed off her.

Reyna soon discovers that behind Beckham’s brooding, wicked façade lies a unique and complex man. And that, in a dark and divided world, she is more valuable than she ever would have believed.

For with each passing night, Reyna can’t shake the sensation that it’s Beckham who’s afraid of 
her.

For the Record (Record, #3) by K.A. Linde

For the Record (Record, #3)For the Record by K.A. Linde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 I’m Voting for Maxwell Stars

I was really surprised with For the Record. K.A. Linde is known for major angsty books. I feel like I’ve been on this up and down roller coast from Off the Record, but For the Record is not filled with hair pulling out scenes. It’s actually very adorable and will leave you smiling.

I have some reservations with Brady, I guess I can’t get over the whole hiding Liz and being away from her for a year kind of thing (even if it was Liz breaking up with him).

I feel like For the Record was Brady’s redeeming story. He had to step it up and prove to us he could be the book boyfriend I crave to read.

I believe the goal was achieved.

So, Liz and Brady are official and what are we to expect?

Lots of drama, lots of things on Liz’s part and lots of people trying to separate Liz and Brady. What I really loved about this one is that I felt like it was the couple against the world and for once they weren’t working against each other.

I love that Liz and Brady were a united front and I didn’t have to cringe throughout the book.

Liz is still insecure about the relationship because Brady put her on the back-burner for so long, she doesn’t know what is genuine. I actually liked reading Liz’s thoughts and I totally got her. I felt like she always wanted what was best for the relationship, but she was still trying to recover over the hurt.

I also loved reading about the other characters. I want books on Brady’s best friend, Brady’s brother, maybe even Hayden, okay, not him, but you get the point. Linde created such strong side characters, she made me a fan. I just want more!

I love this series and I love the political theme.

Book Blast - For the Record by K.A. Linde


With Congressman Brady Maxwell up for reelection and journalist Liz Dougherty about to graduate into a promising career, the ambitious couple’s future is brighter than ever. They share a passion for their work…and for each other. But when Brady holds a press conference to officially introduce Liz as his girlfriend, reporters hungry for a scandal bombard her. Now, her every move is under a vicious magnifying glass, and her life feels like it’s falling apart.

On the road to reelection, the passionate bond between the congressman and the journalist gets tested at every stop. Threatened by shameless media sensationalism and jealous exes, Brady and Liz now have to learn to trust each other despite what they read in the papers.

In the finale to USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde’s sexy Record trilogy, Liz and Brady may be setting off fireworks along the campaign trail, but can their love transcend politics as usual?

On the Record *Record, #2) by K.A. Linde

On the Record (Record, #2)On the Record by K.A. Linde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 I put myself through torture stars

When I think of K.A. Linde books, I think of the following:

Intense story line

Cheating

Love triangles

ANGST

CRAZY CRAZY tension


I usually need someone to hold my hand to prevent myself from pulling all of my hair out. Just FYI, I did have a support group to help me with this read. It.was.just.that.intense.

Recap

Liz left Brady because she wanted Brady to pursue his political career. Crazy huh? On the Record picks up where Off the Record left off.

Liz

So Liz is crazy emotional and trying to get over Brady. Let me just rephrase that. A good portion of the book is Liz trying to get over Brady. The one thing I did like is that Linde didn’t make Liz crazy annoying or crazy obsessive. I felt for Liz, she’s trying to be the better person and move on and let Brady do his thing. She moves on by dating Hayden.

Hayden

Hayden is your boy-next-door, meet-the-parents kind of boyfriend. He’s PERFECT and you will love him, I will admit, I was very swooned by him. He doesn’t asks questions and gives Liz space when she needs it and believe me, Liz takes her sweet time in the relationship, which frustrated me a tad bit.

Brady

Where does Brady fall in this equation? Good question because I can say he doesn’t show up until the 25% mark. If you are looking for a book that has Brady and Liz going back and forth with crazy angst, it’s not really there. It’s hard to explain, but most of the issues are upon Liz herself. But fear not, Brady does have a nice presence in the book, I just wish it was slightly bigger.

Overall

As Liz and Hayden work on their relationship, Liz’s affection for Brady plays a huge role. Even though I was kind of ticked that Brady isn’t in the book too much, the parts that he is, makes up for it. The beginning is a bit slow as it mostly talks about Liz trying to get over Brady.

The second half picks up a notch and then there’s drama, passion and plenty of crazy. I was on the edge of my seat, screaming at the tablet many times, questioning, wondering and screaming, but in the end…

It was all worth it

If you are a fan of the series, if you are a fan of Linde’s reads, then you will NOT be disappointed, but be prepared for a bumping ride and have your girlfriends ready to hold your hand.
