Finding You Review + Giveaway

'I will always take care of you'

My pain started when I was just ten years old, it was the day my mom got that dreaded phone call. Life has never been the same.... 'I will always protect you' I am all kinds of broken.... I have known Logan White since forever, he is my brothers best friend and my secret protector. I used to have nightmares that drew me into a dark place and when the nightmares got too much, Logan was by my side. The nightmares are few and far between now, but my life is centered around the tragedy of my past. Logan is the definition of 'man whore', with girls lining around the block to drop their panties at the click of his fingers. But after an unexpected moment things change. Now Logan is somebody else; hot, sexy and so damn delicious and I want to know him. Desperately. But then there is Angel Walker who is far from the angelic nature of his name, with eyes so hypnotic that I lose my inhabitation’s just by staring into them. But he is a broken man who just screams sin. He doesn't want to protect me or care for me, He just wants me. Do I want the man who can cut through all of my pain or the man who could cause me more? Fists will fly, hearts will shatter and desire will be fueled.  
 

Ten white petals... Thud. One yellow centre... Thud. One...thud. Two...thud. Three...thud. I can feel hands around my throat, my breathing becoming shallow as I try to scream on the inside, not knowing if my own nightmare filled with the demons of my past will kill me while I sleep. My heartbeat roaring as it pounded relentlessly, leaving a ringing sensation in my ears. The smell of antiseptic so potent against my nostrils suddenly hit me, it was so strong that I could taste it in the back of my throat. The pressure around my neck slackened enough for me to get my bearings, I was back on the bridge again, pinned to the wooden slabs by someone or something I couldn't see nor describe. There was no where to go, I was trapped on the bridge that lead to no where, keeping me forever in the darkness, never to see the light again. I could taste the fear in my throat drowning out the antiseptic, I could feel my fear pouring into my gut as my body absorbed it, it was in my bones, in my soul. The fear in the air caused me to look back at demon above me, a black and smoky silhouette figure towering over my tiny frame, I could never make out who or what the demon was, but I knew I should fear it. The grip around my neck tightened once more, my hands trying to reach for anything to help free me, but there was nothing, there was always nothing. I could see the bridge clearly but I could never feel it against my skin, just the subconscious pressure of it against my back, a mixture of pressure and the feeling of floating. “Stop, please. No!” I wanted to scream but my vision was becoming blurred as my head swam with weightlessness. Images projected against the dark shadow of the demon above me, a car severely damaged, flashing blue lights and screaming, organized chaos. I thought I was going to die, I was ready just to let go, but I never died in my nightmares, I just hung on the edge, the demon making me remember. Suddenly the nightmare slowly started to release me, the twisted dark depths of my past slowly fading into a painful reminder of what was cruelly taken, what I would never get back. Thud...my heart slamming against my chest. Thud...my throat constricting tightly. Thud...my lungs burning with every breath. Thud. Thud. Thud. My lids were heavy, so heavy that I didn't think I could open my eyes. "Come back to me" A familiar soothing voice wrapped around around my mind, trying to release me of my own painful imprisonment. I tried desperately to speak to the voice, wanting them to pull me out from the torture that held me captive within my own mind, my tongue heavy and my mouth dry. My skin becoming saturated with sweat, my toes curling as if in pain, my heart heavy with unrelenting sadness. The light was almost to much to bare as I finally managed to open my eyes, squinting as the light penetrated my pupils, burning right through me. There was a figure above me once more, but it wasn't dark and twisted like the demons in my nightmares, it was home. I'm home.

I have been waiting months for Finding You to finally land on my Kindle awaiting to be absorbed in one setting... and that is exactly what happened! Even when the words were starting to blur at 2:30 AM last night, I couldn't stop.

***zombie voice*** MUST. KEEP. READING.

 

Let me make this short and sweet for you....

 

Neva - Relatable, Funny, and NOT Annoying (BONUS!)

Logan - Charming, Endearing, Sexy as Hell, Heartbreaker

Angel - Sex on a Stick, Bad Boy, Guitar Player (Need I go on?)

I refuse to butcher this review by telling you how much I have "fallen head over heels" for this book, which I have, but that's not the point. Aside from all of the sexy men, enjoyable characters, and a fun college setting, S.K. Hartley wrote a emotionally-driven, romance novel about a young woman dealing with the loss of a parent, how that loss effected so many, and how it caused two friendly hearts to fall for each other.

 

If you enjoyed romance novels by Addison Moore, Jessica Sorensen, and J.A. Redmerski, you must buy FINDING YOU (Bad Boys Series #1)!

S.K. Hartley is a mother, wife, avid reader and writer based in the not so sunny North West of England. You can find her either glued to her computer desk, in the library (yes they still exist) or floating around her favorite authors book signings!

What sort of except do authors usually post? IE. sex scenes, love scenes....

Falling Behind Review + Giveaway

Falling Behind 

Author: Dee Avila

Genre: Mature Young Adult

Release Date: June 2013

Hosted by: Love Between the Sheets

 

Going into the her second year of high school in the rural town of Laton, Reese was ready to come out of her shell, experience life with her best friends and find a way to tell Titus she wanted to be more than friends. When Josh, the new student, shows up on the first day and a whirlwind relationship starts between him and Reese, she was in her own world and barely noticed her friend spiraling downhill. The night Josh pushed her to far her best friend died, causing her own world to spiral. 

Trying to move on from losing her best friend and ignore what Josh did to her, Reese pulls away from everyone. She had to overcome her fears and face her demons to be able to move forward.

Candice was waiting at the end of her long driveway when I pulled up. As she climbed into the car, I noticed old, yellowish bruises on her left wrist. My gaze flicked from her wrist to her eyes, as I pressed my lips into a tight line. “Candice, wanna talk about those?”

“Nope.”

“Listen, if those are from Alex, you need to get out—end things with him; sooner, rather than later.”

“I said I don’t wanna talk about it.”

“I don’t give a shit what you want to talk about. Those are bruises from fingers. I can see it. How many more do you have, C? I hope that’s it and you’re doing the smart thing.”

“Ugh, fine it was one time. He grabbed my wrist, as I was walking away, after we had an argument. I threatened to leave him. He just grabbed harder than he thought. No big deal, Ty, I promise. We talked about things and we’re fixing things. He won’t do it, again.”

“I’m going to keep an eye out. If I see anything else, I will kick his ass. I promise you.”

When we pulled into the school parking lot, my eyes scanned the whole campus. It was covered in green balloons and those cheap cowboy hats. I laughed when Candice squealed. “I can’t believe they did this! Our varsity team better have done something to their school.”

We were playing the Riverdale Cowboys for Homecoming. The two schools were cross-town rivals. We always did something to each other’s school on game day. I usually went, but this morning, I woke up late. “I don’t know what they did. But they all went.”

“I bet that’s where Alex went, then.”

“Probably. Come on we’re going to be late for class.”

I rated Falling Behind FOUR LEAVES!

 

When I read that Falling Behind was a Mature Young Adult novel, I was a little curious, because I had never read from this particular sub-genre. Falling In Fall reviewers rarely review young adult romances, so right off the bat, you know it must have something that caught our attention.  

 

The "mature" adjective for this novel's genre is absolutely correct. Throughout the time I spent reading this story, I found myself constantly thinking how old I felt. The main characters of this story are between 15 and 16 years of age, but the story contains many scenes where drugs, rape, and physical abuse are either spoken about or present. I know things have changed drastically since I was in high school, but I couldn't help but think that my biggest worry at 15-16 was getting my FIRST KISS! Man, how times have changed.

 

Falling Behind, written by Dee Avila, follows the story of three best friends: Candice, Reese, and Titus. Candice and Reese are your typical 15-16 year old girls. They love boys, fashion, boys, cheerleading, and boys. Both had landed two popular senior guys as boyfriends, but they quickly learn that their relationships are not the healthiest. Both boyfriends have been rumored to be messing with drugs, but the girls only notice their mood swings. Candice and Reese are hiding secrets about their relationships not only from each other but from their families and friends. When Reese notices bruising on Candice, she begs her friend to get help, but Candice promises she is on her way out of the relationship soon. On the other hand, Reese has a boyfriend pushing her further into their sexual relationship than she wants to go, and eventually, pushes her right over that virginal edge while she lays there crying and wishing it was already done. She feels like she has to stay with her boyfriend, because she "gave" him her virginity.

 

Titus is perfect. You will fall head over kitten heels in love with this guy. You can't help but like this character. He has a great and close relationship with his mother. Seriously. They talk about everything together! He is Candice and Reese's Superman. The three have history together, because Titus and Candice dated when they were in fifth grade. When they broke up, Candice introduced him to Reese, and the three became close friends. Titus made it his life's work to watch over and protect the girls. The only problem is the girls haven't confided in him about their relationship problems, and he is too caught up in his affections for Reese and making her boyfriend jealous. So, why has Titus not shared his feelings? Candice made him promise not to.

 

Dee Avila did a fabulous job portraying those teenage years you are glad you never have to experience again. She captured the everyday high school drama without the story becoming too immature and causing the reader to disconnect. This story will evict lots of emotions from a reader. At times I felt giddy like I was a teenager, traumatized by the idea of these young adults having to deal with terrible situations, and saddened by the tragedies. If you enjoy a young adult novels and are looking to transition into new adult, this would be an excellent book for you. Falling Behind is the first in the Falling Series. I am excited to continue reading about these characters in the next installment. 

 

I'm a wife and mother of four. I have been writing for as long as I can remember. I use to write fairy tales when I was in grade school, but now I love writing about those tough high school years and how one decision can change the course of your life. Friendships, first loves and over coming the odds all interest me.

Three years ago, I decided life was too short to waste my stories by letting them collect dust on my shelves. I researched querying, took a few writing workshops and wrote the whole time. I first ventured away from what I normally wrote and tried a Paranormal Romance. That novel is tucked safely away. A year ago I chose to go back to my roots and write what I love - friendships, love and choices - how speaking out can save a life, maybe yours or a friends.

I talked to other authors and made wonderful friends. That's when I learned about self-publishing. I'm glad I followed through. I was so nervous to hit publish, but now I am grateful for the encouragement. It was the best decision I've ever made.

I'm usually in front of my laptop. When I'm not writing I am either trying to catch up on a weeks worth of laundry or on Facebook. I am a huge procrastinator. Usually close to a deadline, you can find me actually cleaning house just so I don't have to hit send. I think sending my books out to betas and my editor is the second scariest thing in the world. I love Rockstars and PB&J sandwiches. (Not the healthiest I know but it’s the fastest and it tastes good.)

Let it be Me Review + Giveaway

I'm torn between what's right and my own fear.
But not anymore.
I’m taking my life back now.
I will fight back.
I will be happy.

 

Let it be Me receives FOUR and a HALF HEART WRENCHING LEAVES! Romance novels with major themes of physical, verbal, and sexual abuse are generally popular, because these situations are very relatable. Either you have been abused or you know someone who has been, whether they are a relative or a close friend. As a reader, I am attracted to stories with abusive relationship themes, because I grew up in an abusive home. For some, it is hard to read about these type of situations, but for me it is a reminder of how important it is that this message continues to have a voice.

I was very impressed with the angle at which Toni Aleo wrote this story. Violet's present tense voice created a foundation for the reader to step into the main character's shoes and see the scenes from her eyes, hear Rob's terrible insults, and feel each blow from his fist. Usually authors only scratch the surface, because these situations can be hard to capture with the writer word unless a personal experience is present. I'm not sure what motivated Aleo to write Let it be Me, but I am glad she did. Each scene held true to real domestic violence, the victim's thought process and actions, and the various support systems.

Let's talk characters...

Violet Moore has been married to Rob for three years, but any trace of love and admiration went out the window the moment their vows were completed. Not only did Violet spend her honeymoon black and blue, but she continued to take the constant belittling and physical abuse from her husband. Over time, she walked on egg shells in order to keep from upsetting him and triggering another attack. Because of the abuse he had inflicted on Violet, she not only lost her confidence, internal fight and drive, friendships, but also a child.

I really loved Violet's character. Even though she made decisions along the way that I didn't agree with, I could see myself making those exact wrong decisions. For example, she hid her secret from everyone including her mother for years, and even when people did catch on to what was happening, she would continue to lie about her situation. Aside from the more serious and secret side of Violet, she managed to keep going each day and could still have her humorous moments.

"Hey, are you busy?"

 

"If fantasizing about stripping you down and licking every inch of you is busy, then yes, yes I am. I'm so screwed. How the hell am I going to work here when I've only known of Tucker's existence for maybe thirty minutes, and I've already had sex with him in my head? And it isn't normal sex, it's hang off the chandeliers, smack my ass, sex."

 

Who is this infamous Tucker? Why that is Dr. Tucker McCloud, this story's hero. After Tucker's father resigns from his private practice, Tucker steps in to take over. Dr. McCloud introduces Tucker at staff meeting one morning, and the moment he locks eyes with Violet (who recently took the office manager position) he falls head over heels. I absolutely fell for Tucker in that moment too. I like his confidence and how he never questions his feelings for Violet. He knew instantly she was his other half, and spent the entire story doing everything in his power to make her happy and keep her safe from Rob.

 

"...sweetheart, there is this huge universe, nine planets and two hundred and four countries and out of all that, I met you, I fell for you and have had the pleasure to feel your lips against mine. You are the piece of me that was missing. My heart and soul. Nothing will ever change that. My love will never fade because you have me. All of me."

 

Throughout the story, Violet talks about Tucker's gorgeous smile, and I can't stop thinking how Tucker's good looks would definitely appear on a couple episodes of Grey's Anatomy. With the majority of the story's setting taking place in the practice, it creates some fun and flirty scenes between Tucker and Violet. Although I understand this story was more about Violet, her abusive husband, and her internal struggle to find the strength to fight back, I really just wanted some more steamy scenes with Tucker! 

 

"No, I know you're not a cheater, but the reason why you did it is because we belong together. When I said you don't understand, what I meant is that you don't understand how much my heart belongs to you. I've been completely yours since the moment our eyes met. I've never felt this intensely about someone and I don't think I ever will again. Last night was everything I dreamed of. If you walk out that door, it will crush me." Taking my face in his hands, I gasp before he whispers, "I promise I'll never let you down. I'll never hurt you, I'll only love you. You deserve better than what he gives you. I can do better. I can give you the world because you are my world. I'm laying it all out, Violet. I love you and I need you to take a chance on me. Leave him. Be with me."

 



The only unrealistic thing about this story for me was her mother's actions or lack there of to helping her daughter. She had knowledge Violet's abuse, but she would just keep asking her to leave Rob. If it was my mom, she would have been on my doorstep with a shotgun when she first got wind of the abuse.

 I really enjoyed this story, and I had a hard time putting it down, because I was so scared what Rob was going to do to Violet next. Plus, I really just wanted to read more of Tucker's romantic monologues. I strongly suggest this novel, but please be aware that the abuse scenes are graphic. This was my first Toni Aleo novel, but it will definitely not be my last.

 

 

Toni Aleo is the author of the Nashville Assassins series: Taking Shots, Trying to Score, Empty Net, and Blue Lines. When not rooting for her beloved Nashville Predators, she’s probably going to her husband’s and son’s hockey games and her daughter’s dance competitions, taking pictures, scrapbooking, or reading the latest romance novel. She lives in the Nashville area with her husband, two children, and a bulldog.

Be My Downfall Tour

 

Be My Downfall

Author: Lyla Payne

 

Toby Wright has always prided himself on being one of the most normal guys at Whitman University. He loves his parents, has a great job lined up after graduation, and with the exception of attempting to cross the unbalanced Sebastian Blair sophomore year, has kept his nose pretty clean.

But the rich never have empty closets, and memories long stashed away come spilling free when notorious party girl Kennedy Gilbert almost dies in his bathroom.

Nobody really knows how Kennedy manages to stay in good standing at Whitman–she never goes to class, doesn’t pretend to care about her future, and as far as people can tell, is never sober. This isn’t her first meeting with a stomach pump, but it is the first time she’s woken up to Toby’s concerned brown eyes. Despite the fact that she prefers life without friends, he gets under her skin with his insistence on playing her guardian angel.

No one knows better than Toby that people can only be saved if they want to be, but the realization that she has no one else draws him back into the shadows of Kennedy’s life–and eventually into her bed. But she long ago came to terms with a truth that Toby refuses to accept: she doesn’t want to be rescued, she only wants to forget.

Unwilling to give up on her, Toby’s dragged under by this broken girl and her dark, twisted Whitman University he never guessed existed. If he struggles to the surface, he’ll abandon someone he loves for the second time in his life. If he doesn’t, it won’t be long until they both drown.

 

I rated Be My Downfall with FOUR AND ONE HALF LEAVES! Guys!! This is a must read! I was intrigued by this book from the very start. I hadn't read any of the other books in the series so it took me a bit to learn the characters, but when I did, I fell in love. The story is about Toby, who is on Spring Break with his friends. The story is also about Kennedy, who is the school party girl. She drinks ALL the time and is constantly high. This story is all about the natural way we want to help people in our lives, but sometimes they don't want or need to be helped. 

Toby has been through a lot in his life, even though on the outside it doesn't look like it. He tries his very best to stay away from Kennedy, because the last thing he needs is to try and save someone who doesn't want to be saved. Toby and Kennedy spend one evening together and Toby realizes that he is already in too deep. 

This is such a wonderful book because the characters are both SO wrapped up in each other. I love them both. Read Be My Downfall and find out how Toby and Kennedy end up. It might just surprise you how much they save each other! 

 

 

 I’ve long had a love of stories. A few years ago decided to put them down on the page, and even though I have a degree in film and television, novels were the creative outlet where I found a home. I’ve published Young Adult under a different name, but when I got the idea for Broken at Love (my first New Adult title), I couldn’t wait to try something new – and I’m hooked.  In my spare time I watch a ton of tennis (no surprise, there), play a ton of tennis, and dedicate a good portion of brain power to dreaming up the next fictitious bad boy we’d all love to meet in real life.

Jealousy Tour + Giveaway

Jealousy

Author: Jenna Galicki

Release Date: July 3, 2013

Genre: Contemporary Romance (M/M)

When Heather Cooper married Peter, she thought that she had finally found someone who could handle the inseparable bond she shares with her gay best friend, Justin Perrotta. It’s only a matter of time, however, before jealousy rears its ugly head and Peter’s true feelings emerge. He starts drinking and his erratic behavior threatens their marriage.

Burned by an ex-boyfriend, Justin refuses to open his heart to love again. Wild relationships and one night stands leave him lonely and unfulfilled, even though he will not admit it. He finds love when he least expects it, but his fear of commitment threatens to ruin the best thing that has ever happened to him.

In this modern day ‘Will and Grace’ meets ‘Sex and the City’, two best friends, a straight woman and a gay man, struggle to find someone to love as much as they love each other.

~*~

 Meet Heather Cooper

Somewhat insecure and emotionally fragile on the outside, she battles the injustices and heartache the world throws at her with an inner strength she doesn't realize she possesses.   Sexually free and uninhibited, her marriage lacks the love and passion she craves.   Loyal, kindhearted and caring, she’s always ready to fight to the death to defend her best friend, Justin.

Meet Justin Perrotta

Relentlessly bullied as a child, he triumphed over ridicule.  Now, confident and assertive, he credits his transformation to his best friend, Heather.  Forever indebted to her, he shields and protects her.   Shattered by betrayal and afraid to love again, he guards his sensitive heart with promiscuity.  

 

"Feel the soft petals against your skin," Tyler said. "Clear your head and don't think of

anything except the flower. Visualize it in your mind. See the deep blood red pigment of the rose. See it touching your body.  

It was surprisingly erotic. It made Justin yearn for deeper physical contact. It was hard to lie still. He reached out and his hand found Tyler’s thigh.

“Keep your hands flat on the bed.” Tyler removed Justin’s hand from his leg. “Let me

touch you.”  

Tyler gently ran the flower across Justin's chest, down his right arm, then down his left.

The flower traced each finger from the knuckle to its tip. Next, Tyler slowly glided it down the length of Justin’s legs, one at a time.

Neither one of them spoke. The only sound in the room was Justin's breath, deepening

with each caress of the silky rose against his bare skin. The flower found its way back to the center of his chest. It made small circles around his nipples, first clockwise, then counter clockwise. His nerve endings were standing on end. They were over sensitized and over stimulated. He was tingling all over. A sweet aroma filled his nostrils. He wrinkled his nose. It was the flower.

"That's it," Tyler whispered. "Let your senses experience the pleasures."

The rose traveled across the nape of Justin’s neck and traced the outline of his collarbone. It ran down his sternum and slowly outlined each one of his ribs. Normally it would have tickled, but this flower was magical. It was a wand filled with delight, bestowing joy and bliss co-mingled with rapture.  All of his senses were heightened. They were alive. It was as if he was using them for the first time. He not only felt the flower, but he heard it, as it glided across his skin. The sweet scent of the rose got stronger, or lighter, depending upon its proximity to his nose. The flower jumped to his ankle, floated over his calf and lingered on his thigh. It settled in the area where his thigh met his hip. It felt like a thousand tiny little fingers were igniting his flesh with sensations of grandeur. Then it was gone. It was no longer touching him. He yearned for it, and silently begged for its return. He lusted for the touch of a flower.

 

I am a newly published author of adult contemporary romance, geared toward male/male romance.

My debut novel, Jealousy, is a modern day 'Will & Grace' meets 'Sex & the City' - only hotter. A reviewer recently gave me a a tremendous compliment by comparing it to 'Jane Austen' meets '50 Shades".

In Jealousy, I am blending genres, in that it has both m/f and m/m romance. I am introducing the reader to m/m romance, in a way that is tender, touching and loving. I want to make m/m romance novels mainstream in the literary industry. I want to take it from the back shelf and put it on the front shelf. I want to walk into a major retail book store and see boy meets boy, right along side boy meets girl.
