Fan Fic Event: No Boundaries Challenge & Readers Giveaway

And so the lion fell in love

with the She Wolf.

The No Boundaries Contest

Brought to you by the creators of Fandom Fanatic & She Wolf Awards

Bridging the gap between both vamp and wolf lovers in a unique one shot contest featuring Leah Clearwater, our she wolf, with any of our favorite Twilight vamps (*coughs* The Volturi. The LUV'NV votes Volturi. *coughs*). Nothing is off limits—there are no boundaries.

Fandom Fanatic and She Wolf Awards have paired up to hold another No Boundaries contest, with Printing Paws, Tricky Raven, and us, The LUV'NV, as their contest hosts. That's right, contest hosts. We love the wolves and non-canon pairings as much as She Wolf Awards and Fandom Fanatic do. We'll be posting the contest as well as its giveaway on our sites. You can enter on any and all of the participating sites, blog hop style.

To get everyone inspired and excited, Fandom Fanatic and She Wolf Awards will be running a promo of No Boundaries stories and graphics throughout the month of April. The LUV'NV will also be showing love for a few, too. If you would like to spread the love, please grab the No Boundaries avi and contact SWA at pmu@shewolfawards.com.

For those of our readers who don't know, fan fic is fan-based fiction. Readers write stories with characters from books they flove and can't let die—in this case, Twilight. Fics can be canon and follow the original series's timeline, expanding on it or deviating it. They can include any pairing, even (especially!) non-canon, with entirely different rules and universes; for example, an all-human Edward with a vampire Bella or a Volturi Carlisle with an original character. Really, the possibilities are endless. Fics are posted on various sites like FanFiction.net and TWCS and can be multiple chapters or one chapter (a.k.a. a short story or one shot).

Some of you may have even read published fan fic, like Wallbanger and 50 Shades of Gray. (If you have any questions regarding fan fic, you can leave a comment below or email us at theluvnv@theluvnv.com).

For the No Boundaries contest, Leah is the beloved star. Check out the rules and all the info to enter what your imagination conjures and your fingers itch to put on digital paper.

The Verve & Stacking the Shelves (6)

The Verve is our Sunday edition of the weekly memes "The Sunday Post," hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer,
and "Stacking the Shelves," hosted by Tynga's Reviews. We feature the books we bought, borrowed, were gifted and given for review,
as well as share blog news from the past couple weeks and what you might see in the next two.

Hello, LUVs. How is everyone? Are you ready for April? Spring break? Warmer weather? I'm definitely ready for the latter. Wisconsin teased us cheeseheads with it before bringing back the biting cold wind and some snow. As for the blog, nothing new happening. I did, however, suffer through computer death last weekend. Yup, it scared me half to death. I was like Jackie O., trying to put my love back together, with no such luck. Thankfully, I had my posts scheduled beforehand, but I did have a hard decision to make ... and eventually got this:

A MacBook Pro! I'm thrilled ... now. At the time of purchase, not so much. I was afraid to touch it, not only because of the "investment" made but also to avoid disappointment and frustration. I've heard Mac's praises, but I'm not that big a fan of change. The system is different; it does take some getting used to, but I've acclimated and love it. I'm never going back to PC again. How about you? Have you thought about switching to Mac but are afraid to? Mac users, were you hesitant to switch? Any tips or app suggestions for a newb?

Now, here's what you might have missed the past two weeks and what to expect in the next two, as well as what we're stacking on our shelves. Be sure to enter our current giveaways, also found in the sidebar.

Book Depository Amazon B & N Goodreads

Amie Wentworth writes paranormal romances, not because she is looking for a degree in ectoplasm, but because she’s got bills to pay. Ever since her parents’ car crash, she has been led a reclusive life and trusted books more than people. Not even a letter from her long-lost uncle, begging her to visit, gives Amie incentive for anything other than ire—until she is stabbed in an alley and brought back to life by a mysterious stranger.

After crossing the Atlantic to her father’s homeland, Amie is dragged into the very sort of tale she is used to selling. Silver Hollow is a place of ancient traditions and supernatural dangers, where everything is the opposite of what it seems and few escape sane.

To make matters worse, the man who saved her life keeps turning up and her would-be-murderer is still at large.

But when she comes face to face with the ugly truth, will she too be sucked into her father’s madness? Or will she discover that madness is just another name for honesty?

It seemed only natural to nickname them the ‘Onslow Boys’. Every time they swaggered in the front door of the Onslow Hotel after a hard week’s work, their laughter was loud and genuine as they settled onto their bar stools. I peeked through the restaurant partition, a flimsy divider between my world and theirs. I couldn’t help but smile whenever I saw them, saw him ... Toby Morrison.

Quiet seventeen-year-old Tess doesn’t relish the thought of a summertime job. She wants nothing more than to forget the past haunts of high school and have fun with her best friends before the dreaded Year Twelve begins.

To Tess, summer is when everything happens: riding bikes down to the lake, watching the fireworks at the Onslow Show and water bomb fights at the sweltering Sunday markets.

How did she let her friends talk her into working?

After first-shift disasters, rude, wealthy tourists and a taunting ex-boyfriend, Tess is convinced nothing good can come of working her summer away. However, Tess finds unlikely allies in a group of locals dubbed ‘The Onslow Boys’, who are old enough to drive cars, drink beer and not worry about curfews. Tess’s summer of working expands her world with a series of first times with new friends, forbidden love and heartbreaking chaos.

All with the one boy she has never been able to forget.

It will be a summer she will always remember.

The question for this week is:

What is your guilty pleasure as far as reading? Is it a genre, or is it a certain type of book?

Highlander Romances. They're pleasurable, and yeah, sometimes I do feel guilty (well, more like guiltily shameless and a little embarrassed) when I whip out the muscle-and-bare-chest-covered book, especially around hubs or out in public. But I flove the genre like no other—they're a true fantastical escape I need every one in a while, or I get a bit grumpy. The Bride by Julie Garwood is one of my favorites. At the moment, favorite Highland series would be The Highland Guard by Monica McCarty, in which Robert the Bruce has a secret army guard.

Feeling guilty? Yeah, me neither. :P I do, however, have an ARC of book #7, The Hunter, releasing June 25th (thank you, Ballantine Books!), and I haven't picked it up yet. Feeling a little guilty about that, but I'm trying to show some restraint and read the closer, upcoming releases first. It's the perfect Highlander series if you're ever looking for a thrilling political and romantic plot.

What about you? What's your guilty pleasure read?
Let us know in a comment below. We enjoy hearing from you! And feel free to leave us a link to your F&F Friday.
We love discovering new blogs. Thanks for stopping by. ♥

You certainly don't have to follow, but if you'd like to,

Experience the heart-pounding thrill of the chase in this electrifying page-turner as you uncover the mystery behind the series of gruesome killings that have been terrorizing the citizens of Chicago.

When a grisly decapitated corpse pops up on a Chicago Street, drained of blood, the highly-trained, government-funded special police force assigned two of their best detectives to the case. S.U.I.T. Detectives Warren Davis and Matthew Eric delve deep into their investigation to discover just who or what is leaving mutilated bodies in public places. They soon realize that the killer or killers is one step ahead of them and if they are going to stop the menace before another innocent human is viciously attack, they are going to need help.

Natasha Hemingway liked her life just the way it was… normal and supernatural-free. The vampires and shape-shifters were just where she wanted them to be—far away from her. All was going well until an unfortunate accident landed her in the hospital. It was then that she discovered she had an ability that could help her save countless lives. All of a sudden, she finds herself thrust into the dangerous and alluring world of the supernatural and into the arms of two very sexy and deadly vampires.

Handsome, considerate, and seemingly sane, Wallace Blake doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, screaming and banging on the walls of his dorm room. Hell, he doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, period.

Too curious for her own good, Rena vows to uncover the truth behind Wallace’s madman reputation—and how two seconds of contact had left her with bruises. Of course, there are a few setbacks along the way: guilt, admiration, feelings of the warm and fuzzy variety ...

Not to mention the unwanted attention of Wallace's powerful, supernaturally-gifted family.

They’re a bloodline divided by opposing ideals, two soon-to-be warring factions that live in secret among us. When Rena ends up caught in their crossfire, Wallace has no choice but to save her by using his powers. Now they’re really in trouble. With war on the horizon and Rena’s life in the balance, he needs to put some distance between them. But Rena won’t let go. If fighting is what it takes to prove her own strength and keep Wallace in her life, then that’s what she’ll do—even if it means risking a whole lot more than her heart.

When Avery Shaw’s heart is shattered by her life-long best friend, she chooses to deal with it the only way she knows how—scientifically.

The state science fair is coming up and Avery decides to use her broken heart as the topic of her experiment. She’s going to find the cure. By forcing herself to experience the seven stages of grief through a series of social tests, she believes she will be able to get over Aiden Kennedy and make herself ready to love again. But she can’t do this experiment alone, and her partner (ex partner!) is the one who broke her heart.

Avery finds the solution to her troubles in the form of Aiden’s older brother Grayson. The gorgeous womanizer is about to be kicked off the school basketball team for failing physics. He’s in need of a good tutor and some serious extra credit. But when Avery recruits the lovable Grayson to be her “objective outside observer,” she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for, because Grayson has a theory of his own: Avery doesn’t need to grieve. She needs to live. And if there’s one thing Grayson Kennedy is good at, it’s living life to the fullest.

A world kept peaceful for a thousand years by the magic of the ruling vicars. But a threat lurks from a violent past. Wizards from the darkness have hidden their sorcery in a place called the keep and left a trail of clues that have never been solved.

Nathaniel has grown up longing for more but unwilling to challenge the vicars. Until his friend Thomas is taken for a teaching, the mysterious coming-of-age ritual. Thomas returns but with his dreams ripped away. When Orah is taken next, Nathaniel tries to rescue her and ends up in the prisons of Temple City. There he meets the first keeper of the ancient clues. But when he seeks the keep, what he finds is not magic at all.

If he reveals the truth, the words of the book of light might come to pass:

“If there comes among you a prophet saying ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the light.”
