Welcome to the world of ARC's!

I just received my very first ARC this past week & I am super excited about it.  I've always been jealous of those who got books early & had the privilege of reading it before they were out on book shelves.  It's like getting a sneak peek at your Christmas presents before the day of!

Vixen (The Flappers) - by Jillian Larkin

Jazz . . . Booze . . . Boys . . . It’s a dangerous combination.

Every girl wants what she can’t have. Seventeen-year-old Gloria Carmody wants the flapper lifestyle—and the bobbed hair, cigarettes, and music-filled nights that go with it. Now that she’s engaged to Sebastian Grey, scion of one of Chicago’s most powerful families, Gloria’s party days are over before they’ve even begun . . . or are they?

Clara Knowles, Gloria’s goody-two-shoes cousin, has arrived to make sure the high-society wedding comes off without a hitch—but Clara isn’t as lily-white as she appears. Seems she has some dirty little secrets of her own that she’ll do anything to keep hidden. . . .

Lorraine Dyer, Gloria’s social-climbing best friend, is tired of living in Gloria’s shadow. When Lorraine’s envy spills over into desperate spite, no one is safe. And someone’s going to be very sorry. . . .

From debut author Jillian Larkin, VIXEN is the first novel in the sexy, dangerous, and ridiculously romantic new series set in the Roaring Twenties . . . when anything goes.


How awesome does this book sound?!  I love the 1920's.. so much that I dressed up as flapper girl just a few Halloween's ago :-)  If I could go back in time, I'd definitely pick this era.  I'm excited to be reading this book soon.. so keep an eye out for my review on it!
