Four Seconds to Lose by K.A. Tucker Published: November 4, 2013 Publisher: Atria Books Received: Bought for my Kindle! "It's about trying to balance out the good with the bad. I don't believe in second chances" Cain has been owning and running a strip club for years. He takes care of the dancers: makes sure they don't have to do anything more than dance to get money, makes sure they aren't harassed in or out of the club, and never takes advantage of them.

One Tiny Lie by K.A. Tucker Published: June 11th 2013 Publisher: Atria Books Received: Bought at discount price! "How do you figure out the right way to live your life?" One Tiny Lie  follows Livie as she enters her first year of college at Princeton. Livie is anxiety prone and scholastically-driven. Her pseudo-psychiatrist, Dr. Stayner, convinces Livie to attend a party and get drunk her first night at Princeton. This leads to Livie getting a tattoo as well as making-out with the hottest guy on campus, Ashton. Of course Ashton has a girlfriend, and even though Livie struggles to put their encounter out her mind, she finds herself meeting the guy she'd always imagined she would end up with. Livie must decide whether to follow the dream she'd built when her parents were still alive or find a new path. I love K.A. Tucker's books. One Tiny Lie shows grow in Tucker's writing style. And I have to give her kudos for tackling characters with me...
