COVER LOVE: Soft and Sweet Edition!

How long has it been since I've done a cover post? It feels like forever! But I've found a ton of them lately that have some of the softest and sweetest covers ever, so I really wanted to share them with you. :)

Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson
Release Date: June 14, 2012
Links: Goodreads | The Book Depository | Amazon | Chapters


15 year old Tiger Lily, proud and fierce, wild and misunderstood, doesn't believe in love stories or happy endings. Then she meets the teenage Peter Pan in the forbidden woods of Neverland, and immediately falls under his spell. Peter is unlike anyone she's ever known. Impetuous and brave, big-hearted but hard to reach, he both scares and enthralls her. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. Soon, she is risking everything - her family, her future - to be with the haunted, hunted, courageous boy who loves her. When - as a punishment for her rebellious ways - she is faced with marriage to a terrible man in her own tribe, she must choose between the life she's always known and running away to an uncertain future with Peter. With enemies threatening to tear them apart, the lovers seem doomed. But it's the arrival of Wendy Darling, an English girl who's everything Tiger Lily is not, that leads Tiger Lily to discover that the most dangerous enemies can live inside even the most loyal and loving heart.

From the New York Times bestselling author of PEACHES comes a magical and bewitching story of the romance between a fearless heroine and the boy who wouldn't grow up.

Want by Stephanie Lawton
Release Date: June 7, 2012
Links: Goodreads


Julianne counts the days until she can pack her bags and leave her old-money, tradition-bound Southern town where appearance is everything and secrecy is a way of life. A piano virtuoso, she dreams of attending a prestigious music school in Boston. Failure is not an option, so she enlists the help of New England Conservatory graduate Isaac Laroche.

Julianne can’t understand why Isaac suddenly gave up Boston’s music scene to return to the South. He doesn’t know her life depends on escaping it before she inherits her mother’s madness. Isaac knows he must resist his attraction to a student ten years his junior, but loneliness and jealousy threaten his resolve.

Their indiscretion at a Mardi Gras ball—the pinnacle event for Mobile’s elite—forces their present wants and needs to collide with sins of the past.

Will Julianne accept the help she’s offered and get everything she ever wanted, or will she self-destruct and take Isaac down with her?

The Breakaway by Michelle Davidson Argyle
Release Date: June 7, 2012
Links: Goodreads


When Naomi Jensen is kidnapped, it takes her parents two days to realize she’s missing. 

Escape isn’t high on her list of priorities when all she has to return to is an abusive boyfriend and parents who never paid much attention to her. For the first time in her life she’s part of a family—even if it is a family of criminals.
But she’s still a captive. In a desperate attempt to regain some control in her life, Naomi embarks on a dangerous plan to make one of her kidnappers think she’s falling in love with him. The plan works too well, and when faced with the chance to escape, Naomi isn’t sure she wants to take it.

A Want So Wicked by Suzanne Young
Release Date: June 14, 2012
Links: Goodreads | The Book Depository | Amazon | Chapters


Elise is a normal seventeen-year-old girl until the day she wakes up in a desert park, with no idea who she is.

After that episode, her life takes a bizarre turn. She’s experiencing unexpected flashes of insight into people’s lives—people she’s never met before. Strangers frighten her with warnings about the approaching Shadows. And although Elise has never had a boyfriend, she suddenly finds herself torn between two handsome but very different young men: Abe, the charming bad boy whose affect on her both seduces and frightens her, and the mysterious Harlin, who’s new to town but with whom Elise feels an urgent, elemental connection—almost as if they are soul mates.

Now Elise begins to question everything about her life. Why do these guys both want her so desperately? What are the Shadows? Why does the name Charlotte inspire a terrifying familiarity? And who is Elise, really?

  11. Woohoo, I think Want by Stephanie Lawton is the one I like the most. In fact, I love it. The piano is a nice touch, it's what makes it special.
    It took me a while to notice the shadow with the gun on the Breakaway cover. I am so blind - Lisa calls me Bat, you know. :D
    Of course I love Preloved too, it's so quirky and charming.

I'm kind of sad that the ARCs have different covers, though. :( And the cover for Want is absolutely beautiful as well! Thanks for sharing these soft and sweet covers, Mimi. :)

  34. YOU GOT A PA DAY? *burning jealousy* Haha, I hope you enjoyed it! :) I think I had a lockdown on that day so I guess that counts as missing class time? I did manage to sneak a book with me under the desk after all.

    CAN I HAVE THESE BOOKS PLEASE? *puppy dog eyes* I've actually always sucked at that but I'm willing to work on it for these beauties. Tiger Lily sounds crazy amazing (Peter Pan! Tinkerbell! <3) and the cover is so pretty.

    Want is one I've never heard of (you always manage to sneak some undiscovered gems on here!) but it sounds so good. Really intense, but great. I love books where the stakes are high, you know? I also love books where the stakes are low... I think I just need a job as a professional YA reader.

    Oh sorry, did I say Want looked intense? Take a look at The Breakaway!! Kidnap, disinterested parents, abusive boyfriend, family of criminals, kidnapper/criminal lover... where does it end?! Hopefully with the girl safe and happy :) Seriously though, I'm curious about how this one would play out! I mean obviously going back to an abusive relationship and HORRIBLE parents (2 days?!?) isn't ideal but I can't imagine life with your kidnapper is a healthy alternative. I hope this one has some good character development!

    And ahhh, A Want So Wicked. I still haven't read ANSB but I've only read I think 1 negative review and the rest have been great. If you like it, I'll need to check it out! <3

    AND AWWWWW. THE HEAVEN COVER IS SO ADORABLE. I've always admired the covers for the series (gorgeous, all of them) but I've never picked up one of the books mostly because of the almost overwhelmingly negative reviews I've read. Still though, that cover = perfect. (A heart, Mimi, a heart! *wipes tear*)

    Fabulous selections!

  35. Hi there Mimi! I just die over pretty covers! I love Want and Preloved.

    I'm always so tempted by a pretty cover and I've been victim a few times to "cover fraud" where the insides do not match the pretty outsides. Let's hope these are not that type. Great collection! :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh, I absolutely adore the cover of Want. o: And Tiger Lily just looks fantastic inside and out! I'm super intrigued by them all though. I'm loving the covers on the new releases lately:)
