PUSHING THE LIMITS by Katie McGarry
Available July 31, 2012–TOMORROW!
“I won’t tell anyone, Echo. I promise.” Noah tucked a curl behind my ear. It had been so long since someone touched me like he did. Why did it have to be Noah Hutchins? His dark brown eyes shifted to my covered arms. “You didn’t do that-did you? It was done to you?” No one ever asked that question. They stared. They whispered. They laughed. But they never asked.
So wrong for each other…and yet so right.
No one knows what happened the night Echo Emerson went from popular girl with jock boyfriend to gossiped-about outsider with “freaky” scars on her arms. Even Echo can’t remember the whole truth of that horrible night. All she knows is that she wants everything to go back to normal. But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo’s world shifts in ways she could never have imagined. They should have nothing in common. And with the secrets they both keep, being together is pretty much impossible.Yet the crazy attraction between them refuses to go away. And Echo has to ask herself just how far they can push the limits and what she’ll risk for the one guy who might teach her how to love again.

Kimberly’s Review of PUSHING THE LIMITS:
I am crushing on Noah Hutchins in a big way. Nothing gets me like a bad boys who’s really a good guy at heart. The best of both worlds. But I loved Echo too. (And her name and what it meant to the story) She tugged at my heart strings and I was constantly rooting for her, so sympathetic to her pain. What a fabulous, well spun story. It never shied away from very dark topics, yet left me smiling more times than I can count with it’s smartly placed humor. I couldn’t put this book down and I can’t wait to get my hands on DARE YOU TO because the supporting characters in PUSHING THE LIMITS were wonderful and I absolutely want to learn more about them.
KATIE MCGARRY was a teenager during the age of grunge and boy bands and remembers those years as the best and worst of her life. She is a lover of music, happy endings, and reality television, and is a secret University of Kentucky basketball fan.

In order to win the ARC of PUSHING THE LIMITS you need to tell me what limits do you push? Is there an a aspect of your life where you’re unusually brave? Willing to step outside of your comfort zone? What are you willing to be daring for? This contest is open internationally and don’t forget to include your contact information in the comment–you can’t win if I can’t reach you.
I always try to push myself into always doing the best I can whenever I do anything. I’m unusually brave with discussing things I really like to people. I’m willing to be daring if I see something is worth it I’d go for it.
Thanks for the chance!

I’m the most brave when it comes to my kids or kids in general. I’ll find the courage to do the right thing when I know that nothing less is acceptable.
I always push myself in general. I’m not a quitter. I’ve been told my entire life I’m brave so it’s hard for me to pinpoint a time, I guess! The “oldest” time I pushed myself was when I was born. I was a preemie (23 weeks early) and the doctors told my parents constantly that I wouldn’t make it. It took 6 months of the first year of my life but I went through countless surgeries and…I guess to this date 😉 I’m doing okay. 😉 The most recent time was when I went to study abroad in Australia – I had to choose between a guy and studying abroad. I chose studying abroad because I felt it was going to push me more than going out with this guy was, plus how often do you get to go to Australia! 🙂 I also pushed myself when I went skydiving in New Zealand – 9,000 feet in the air….holy cow!
I would love a copy of PUSHING THE LIMITS. I didn’t get a chance to pick it up when I was at BEA! :/ I’ve heard nothing but great things about it.
Wow!!! You’ve been kicking it from the start–I love that. And yes, my palms are sweating just thinking about the dive–I did go down the Leap of Faith in the Bahamas LOL!!!
I push myself when it comes to eating. I have problems not eating enough (no, not anerexia or bellimia) and I push myself to eat more so I can gain weight.
I’ve been doing the same thing, but in reverse–trying to eat healthy to be fit. It doesn’t matter if you’re losing or gaining as long as the goal is being fit and healthy!
I tend to push the limits of social boundries. I can be pretty inappropriate and I am blunt and I don’t think before speaking a lot of the time. this has gotten me in a lot of trouble throughout my life. I am brave when it comes to my daughter. I will do anything (like most parents) to ensure her safety and happiness.
Ha! I like that. I’ve always been the opposite, but I’m working on being braver in this area. :o)
Ooops. Forgot my contact info. desiree1612@hotmail.com
I feel like I used to be a whole lot more brave and daring when I was younger than I am now. Freshman year of college I went from living my whole life in Alabama to college at NYU, which was a pretty big thing to do for me at the time. I can’t think of anything I’ve done recently that was pushing the limits or even brave or daring. I guess I should probably work on that! : )

I can relate to that–after I got married, my hubby was stationed in Germany for 4 years. I hopped on a plane by myself and went. WOW! Bravest thing I’ve ever done.
That’s a really tough question! While I’m not so sure I’m brave in real life situations (I should probably work on that…), I think I am within my writing. Normally I stick with contemporary, real life situations when I write fiction, but a couple months ago an idea struck me that’s definitely more on the thriller, fantastical and supernatural side…something I have ZERO clue about writing! But it was one of those ideas that just won’t go away, and I’m finally being brave enough to put it on paper and find out where it’s going. I’m fairly certain I’m breaking all sorts of unspoken rules, but I’ve got to push limits somehow, right?
Woo hoo!!! Absolutley!!! It sounds exciting…I love it!
