Keep in mind as I tell you my story of how I
took it one step further. My story of lies, deceit, manipulation and love. Yeah,
love. Believe me, it fits. Especially, when you factor in Nick and Tucker – one
had my heart and the other one wanted it all for himself. Which one? Well, I
can’t tell you that. It would defeat the purpose of the story. If I’m going to
fill you in about me, Lila Garrison, and my life as a con artist you’re going
to need to know all the facts, including the ones about the two guys who made
me want to give up the life of fancy clothes, expensive jewelry, fast cars and
easy money. Because sometimes, one person can give you something that’s more
valuable than all of that.
If you’re still interested, stick around.
Just remember, I’m pretty good at convincing people to do what I want, so if by
the end of this whole thing you feel worked over, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
"I was pretty sure I was in love with Nick, falling for Tucker, and lying to them both." - Lila
"I was pretty sure I was in love with Nick, falling for Tucker, and lying to them both." - Lila
A con artist, her sexy partner,
an even sexier mark…and a bucket load of perfectly cheesy pickup lines. Anyone
who knows me, knows I am a sucker for cheesy pickup lines; they make me laugh,
and as Marilyn Monroe said, “If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do
anything.” Give Me Something is
Elizabeth Lee’s second novel, and I love this book just about as much as I love
her!
Give Me Something is a perfect mix of deception, angst, love,
and suspense. The storyline is original and draws you in from page one; I was
so wrapped up in the mess between Lila, Nick, and Tucker that I read the entire
novel in a matter of hours! I seriously couldn’t put it down. I would tell
myself, “Okay Ash, one more chapter and then you need to get some shit done,”
but let me tell you something – the only shit I got done that day was starting
and finishing this book.
The characters are some of my
all-time favorites, and honestly, I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be a
big fan of Lila before reading this. She is the type of girl who knows just how
beautiful she really is and uses it to her advantage. And while I think we can
all agree that we’ve all used our looks to get our way at some point, I was
concerned that she would come across an arrogant girl with her nose up so high
it might as well be in the damn clouds. I seriously could not have been more
wrong; there was not one time during this book that I disliked her. Sure, I don’t
agree with her and Nick’s business of conning people but even with that
baggage, she was still a likable character. That’s the sign of a talented
author, y’all!
Nick and Tucker…where do I even
begin?! My feelings for Nick were all over the freaking place because the guy
just seemed like a sneaky, little bastard. I liked him and then didn’t like him…and
then I’d forgive him, and then there
was one particular scene where I was all, “OH HELL MOTHER FUCKING NO HE DIDN’T!!!”
I hated him in that moment; and then
Elizabeth throws another curveball right at my face and makes me regret
screaming angry obscenities towards him! The only thing that kept me from
forgetting which was up was Tucker Kline. Sweet sassy molassey! I absolutely adore him!! His cheesy
pickup lines were adorable, and his whole persona is like a breath of fresh
air. Well, a steaming hot breath of fresh air. Excuse me for a moment while I
wipe the drool off my face and collect my thoughts………
Okay. Good enough.
Honestly, I could go on and on
about this book but now I have Tucker Kline on the brain, and it doesn’t appear
he’s going away any time soon. If you haven’t read Give Me Something yet, you’re missing out. Buy this book and
buy it noooow! Oh and
PS – Just because of the pickup
lines in this book, I thought I’d share my all-time favorite cheesy pickup
line with y'all: You’ve got 206 bones in your body.
Want one more?
You know that made
you laugh… :)

About the Author
Born and raised in the middle of a Midwestern cornfield (not literally, that would be weird), I've spent my entire life imagining stories. Stories where the right guy always gets the right girl, first kisses are as magical as they are on the big screen and anything is completely possible if you believe.
Although this journey began years ago, it recently took on a whole new life. After years of devouring hundreds of romance, YA and new adult novels, I had an epiphany...I should write a book. And I did! My first YA/New Adult novel is out now!
If I'm not reading, writing, enjoying drinks with my amazing group of girlfriends or chasing around a sarcastically funny one-year-old, I'm probably watching television shows that were created for teenagers, while my husband teases that I'm too old to watch them.
