The Surprise Announcement from Lauren!!!

Surprise! The Caught Up in Love series is continuing! Bryan - as in Kat and Bryan - has a younger sister and she goes to college in Los Angeles. She has something in common with Kat - Jess also is a huge fan of the movies and she's putting herself through college as a celebrity photographer. I'm so excited to bring you more of these characters and introduce readers to the "west coast" side of the Caught Up in Love cast of characters and friends. Kat & Bryan will both appear in this story and you'll also get to meet Matthew Harrigan's brother who lives in LA (you know this if you read Far Too Tempting). Here's the storyline and the book releases in August.
Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000038_00060]
About STARS IN THEIR EYES: Celebrity photographer-in-training Jess Leighton desperately needs to crash the wedding of the year. Snapping just one pic of the A-list Hollywood couple tying the knot will pay her way through school, but with security tighter than the bride-to-be's corset, she'll need more than her camera and smarts - she'll need help from her biggest rival, William Harrigan. Hot, motorcycle-riding Will is the last person Jess trusts, but he's her only ticket in. Good-looking, charming, and British, he's a triple threat. And he's got that sexy accent to boot. Soon, sparks are flying off-screen and in front of the cameras as they devise a plan to sneak into the ceremony. But when Jess' new celebrity client raises the stakes with a photo shoot of the maid-of-honor, she wonders if she's in over her head. Blackmail, botox, and the worst Breakfast Club remake in the world? It's all in a whirlwind week's work in Hollywood. The audience loves a happy ending, but in a town where everyone's acting and no one's playing on the same team, can Jess find her own ever after in time?

Stars in Their Eyes Jacket **STARS IN THEIR EYES is part of the New York Times & USA Today Bestselling CAUGHT UP IN LOVE series. It follows the sister of the hero in Caught Up In Us and can be read as a standalone, though you will likely enjoy the other books in the series.**

Will their past determine their future?
Saint Ford has worked hard to achieve her childhood dream of becoming of nurse. Focused on her work and devoted to her patients, there’s no room for love. She doesn’t need a guy making waves in her calm, serene life—especially when he’s the unforgettable hottie who nearly destroyed her in high school. Dark, brooding Nash Donovan might not remember her or the terrible pain he caused. But he turned her world upside down . . . and now he’s trying to do it again.
Saint has no idea that Nash isn’t the cocky player he once was. Uncovering a devastating family secret has rocked his world, and now he’s struggling to figure out his future. He can’t be distracted by the pretty nurse he seems to meet everywhere. Still, he can’t ignore the sparks that fly between them —or how she seems so desperate to get away from him. But the funny, sweet, and drop-dead gorgeous Saint is far too amazing to give up on—especially since she’s the only thing in his life that seems to make sense.
When Nash discovers the truth about their past, he realizes he may have lost her heart before he could even fight for it. Now, Saint has to decide: is Nash worth risking herself for all over again?

Affirmation (Legal Affairs #6)



Things are off, and I can’t quite put my finger on it. Some things, however, are the same. For example, the sex with Matt is just as nuclear and consistent as it always has been.

Still… I feel like I’m holding onto Matt with my fingertips, like he’s on the verge of slipping away and I don’t know what to do.

When I started these Legal Affairs, I had no way of knowing the depth of feeling that would become involved. I had no way of knowing this man could shatter my existence.

I don’t want to be hurt, so I’m grasping hard and I can only hope that he wants me enough to hang on just as tight.

 
Legal Affairs is a serial romance with a whole lot of hot and a little bit of funny. It has six volumes that will be released every two weeks, the first one, entitled Objection, on January 10, 2014.
Legal Affairs – Objection – releasing January 10, 2014
Legal Affairs – Stipulation – releasing January 24, 2014
Legal Affairs – Violation – releasing February 7, 2014

We are finally at the end of our time with Mac and Matt! I am not sure whether to be happy or not because I will miss these two! I was anxious, however, to find out how it ends so I think I can be happy with that. In this book we have Mac and Matt trying to have a relationship, trying being the key word because as you read in the last book, Reparation, Matt’s ex-wife is causing some problems with Matt and his son. After the last sex scene, you knew something was wrong because Matt didn’t say Mac’s name like he normally did and this was a huge warning sign for Mac. In Affirmation, Matt is pulling away from Mac and she doesn’t understand why. A new woman in the office is trying for Matt and since no one knows about them, Matt isn’t fighting off the attention, not to mention the nights he isn’t spending with Mac or really trying to be there for her. One night, Matt tells Mac that he is going out with the boys from the firm and that it will just be a guy’s night out, as it turns out the next morning, it wasn’t just a guy’s night out but a night out with the woman who wants her man. Mac finally gets tired of it and confronts him and not to her surprise they end up parting ways but for good this time. She finally understands that she can no longer try for Matt if he isn’t willing to open his heart for her; he has too much hate in it for Cal and his ex-wife to let Mac in. After a week of not talking Matt finally transfers Mac to a different department that way she is no longer around him and this was the final straw. Mac emails a letter of resignation to Matt and he relents but accepts it with a heavy heart that in two weeks’ time she will be gone. Mac has a plan now that she is about to be unemployed and she calls up Cal for lunch to help. Not only is she asking Cal with help on her Jackson case, she is offering him a way to do what he loves: open a law firm together. At first Cal isn’t sure this is a real deal but when Mac produces the business proposal she has, Cal agrees. When Matt sees them together and sees the job plans they have he reaches his breaking point and knows that there is no going back with Mac. With only two weeks left working at the firm what will happen with these two?  Will they finally get a happily ever after or will Matt’s past emotions make him lose the love of his life? Read the final book in the Legal Affairs series to find out what happens to Mac and Matt. You will not be disappointed!

Patience Review + Giveaway



Jenna Ryan is the kind of girl everyone wants for a friend. Her spunky and carefree outlook on life often leads to trouble of the best kind. She's not afraid to speak her mind, and when it comes to her friends, she's fiercely loyal and protective. When she met Eric, she knew immediately he was her forever, but why was he holding back?

Eric James is the epitome of a Greek God. He parties hard while trying to meet the expectations of his overachiever parents. When he met Jenna, sparks flew, and he knew he'd met his match. 

But Eric is hiding a small secret. When Jenna finds out, these two will embark on a wild and hilarious journey to torture each other into submission.

Who will win? And who will learn the true meaning of... Patience?

***Patience is a Jenna and Eric novella with approximately 30k words. It can be read as a stand alone but is much better after reading Choices or Fate.


Jenna (Shopping with Quincy)

Victoria's Secret. Every girl's friend and every guy's dream. I'm on a mission to find something to drive Eric wild. Panties, bras, lingerie, thongs... how's a girl to choose? I don't have a lot to spend, so I've got to make it count.

"How about this one?" Quincy pops around the rack I'm staring at, holding up a sheer black negligee complete with a barely-there thong.
"Quince, I want to make him suffer, not give him a heart attack." I smile as I imagine the look on Eric's face if he saw me in that. It's almost worth buying it. "That's why we're here instead of Frederick's."

Shrugging her shoulders, my best friend looks perplexed as she continues to hold up the pitiful scrap of material. "Sheesh. I'm just trying to figure out what guys like about this stuff." She rotates it on the hanger. "I mean, why pay so much when they'll just rip it off anyway?"

I almost swallow my tongue as I start coughing. "Rip it off? What kind of movies have you been watching, Quince?"

When her face grows red and she looks anywhere but me, my amusement turns to shock. She tries to hide behind the rack, but I'm not having it. "Oh, hell no, girlfriend."


I rated Patience FIVE LEAVES.  Patience... this is one quality I lack.  I lack mostly when it comes to having books coming out! I've been waiting for another book by Sydney Lane to come out... now when is the next book coming out? ;) Patience is a branch off of the Choices story.  Declan, Quincy, Brody are very much in this story and you get to be a third person that is looking in on the love triangle that is taking place.  But what this book is really about is Eric and Jenna.  You have to build on trust and you have to have Patience and understand to the appreciation of that of in a relationship.  The book does a great job gearing us up for the next book in the Choices series... I can't wait!! Can it come out like, tomorrow?



Sydney Lane lives in Nashville, TN with her husband and children. Growing up in Smalltown, USA, Sydney dreamed of being a writer. After spending an obscene amount of money to go to college, Sydney finally decided to follow her heart. With her babies in bed and husband neglected, she worked by the light of her laptop and wrote Choices. Sydney is very active in charity work for anti-bullying and depression awareness groups.

Reparation (Legal Affairs, #5)



Matt Connover is like a new person. Caring, romantic and thoughtful. No worries though… he’s still sexy as hell.

He has changed in every way that I have ever dreamed of, and he did it because he wants me. It’s like a fairy tale of sorts.

Except… like with every fairy tale, there is a villain. One who threatens to disrupt the harmony we have created together.

Is what we have strong enough to survive? I truly believe that perhaps I can find love within these Legal Affairs. I’m just not sure Matt believes it

One more book and we get our conclusion and I am not ready to let go yet! I wait every two weeks for these two and I am not sure what I will do once their story is done. Alright rant over now let’s get into this week’s book. A short recap of last book we know that Matt finally has agreed to try with Mac and she is just ecstatic. As you know, if you’ve followed these two, it is a huge deal that Matt is willing to try a relationship with Mac. He was betrayed by his best friend Cal and his ex-wife, so his trust is minimal at best and his emotions are locked up tight. In Reparation, you see a different side to Matt, one I don’t think anyone expected he had. Late night dinners and dates with Mac are just some of the sweet things he does for her. Yes, there is still a ton of hot sex between these two but it is a little more special because it has more meaning. One night when Mac gets drunk she utters those three words that she’s kept in for so long: I love you. To Mac’s surprise, Matt says nothing and acts as if it wasn’t said the next day. However, Matt takes a huge step in the right direction when he decides it’s time for Mac to meet Gabe. One weekend Matt’s ex asks him to watch Gabe and makes a plan to take him to Coney Island, but after he gets Gabe, she cancels her plans and wants him back. She ends up meeting Mac and all hell breaks loose between Matt and his ex and she leaves him pissed and heartbroken by taking Gabe. They end up making plans to take him to Coney Island on Matt’s week but the damage is done and Matt is back to how he was before: cold and heartless. When he and Mac have sex in the last scene, Matt doesn’t chant her name like he used to, he says nothing and Mac knows that everything has taken a turn for the worst. And that is the last part of the book for another two weeks! I know it always ends with a bang and leaves you wishing for a time machine to travel two weeks into the future but we have to be patient.. yup being patient is not my strong suit and we will have to wait to get the final instalment of this miniseries. Will they get their HEA or will Matt never let anyone in again?
