Welcome to my Pink Blog, fellow bookworms! Today , I am participating for The Tempering by Adrianne James Book Blitz hosted by Ms. Giselle of Xpresso Book Tours . Please check the details of this interesting book found below:
Publication date: September 13th 2013
Genres: New Adult, Paranormal Romance
Synopsis:
The Mythology department at prestigious Harvard University is tiny—and Mackenzie Duncan has just been selected as one of the lucky few. Her love for myths and legends is deep, but she never thought any of it could be real.
After being attacked by a large wolf while walking home alone, Mackenzie realizes something is not right. She heals quickly, has suddenly become super strong, and is experiencing mood swings that can’t possibly be normal. The myths she’s studying aren’t myths at all. Werewolves are real, and she’s one of them. Fear of what she is, and who she might hurt sends Mackenzie running from the life she’s worked hard to build–and straight into the arms of a handsome Were named Geoff and into the home of his pack. Living with her new pack takes the edge off her confusion and self-loathing, but the arrival of new pack members changes the dynamic, and tests Geoff and Mackenzie’s growing relationship.
The hardest part of being a werewolf is to have no control and no memory of her time as a bloodthirsty beast. When a moon cycle passes, and she is actually able to remember bits and pieces of the night, she starts to ask questions, and the more questions she asks, the more she realizes she doesn’t like the answers. Can she set aside her own sense of morals to belong to a pack that is like a family or will she leave everything behind yet again in search of a life she can be proud of?

Growing up, Adrianne couldn't get her hands on enough books to satisfy her need for the make believe. If she finished a novel and didn't have a new one ready and waiting for her, she began to create her own tales of magic and wonder. Now, as an adult, books still make up majority of her free time, and now her tales get written down to be shared with the world.
During the day, Adrianne uses her camera to capture life's stories for clients of all ages and at night, after her two children are tucked in bed; she devotes herself to her written work. Adrianne is living the life she always wanted, surrounded by art and beauty, the written word and a loving family.
As a young adult and new adult author, Adrianne James has plans to bring stories of growing characters, a little romance, and perhaps a little magic and mythology down the line for her readers to enjoy.

“Is this normal?” Mackenzie asked in
a whisper not wanting to wake Liam. She figured sleeping was probably the only
way to keep the pain away.
“Yes. Every bitten Were goes through
this. You did, but the body shuts the mind off for a reason. His bones are
breaking and healing. Cartilage is shifting or growing. Muscles are stretching.
It’s a whole process that the body goes through. The only thing to do now is
wait.”
“Okay. I’ll be right back.” Waiting
might be part of the process, but maybe she could make him more comfortable. He
may not recognize what she was doing, but she did.
Grabbing a bucket of cool water, a
washcloth, and some blankets, she went back to the den. Margret and Geoff stood
off to the side, whispering with one another so low that even with her super
hearing, she couldn’t tell what they were saying.
“I am so sorry, Liam. You can’t hear
me, but I won’t leave you. We can figure this whole thing out together. You are
not alone.” Her voice was soft and she knew the others could hear her, but she
didn’t care.
Dipping the cloth into the cool
water then ringing it out, she placed it on his forehead.
“Mack? Come on. Let’s leave Margret to
deal with this. You need to rest.” Geoff stood so close she could feel his
breath on her neck. As much as she wanted to turn around to see how close he
was and to go wherever he asked her to, asshole or not, she couldn’t leave
Liam. He was her responsibility. She would be his sire. He needed her.
“I can’t leave him. Not yet.” Tears
slipped from her eyes but for the first time in ages, she didn’t wipe them away
or force herself to stop. Someone needed to grieve for his lost life even if no
one knew it was gone yet.
