"Finding Me" Blog Tour Stop

Synopsis:

The lines are blurred between what is real and what isn't, the darkness that was once a place I feared was now a place of safety. If I stayed in the darkness, the hellish reality of what was truly happening no longer seemed real.

But I was about to be pulled out from under the consuming blanket of dark shadows, and plunged into the murky depths of my past. I was about to be shown my demons and all it's evil sides, all of it's pain and grief. I could only hope I survive it.

What happens when the world you once knew crumbles and falls at your feet? 

Who will find me? Who will save me from my demons?

My dark prince or my white knight...

And will I find myself in the process.

Excerpt:

"Neva, don't walk away from me!" Logan spits. 

He is angry.  What right did he have to be angry with me? I wasn't the one flirting with another girl. Why was he even here anyway? "Go away, Logan!" I say, walking faster. 

Suddenly my arms are latched to my back and I am being spun around. My heartbeat picks up around twenty notches as I come eye to eye with Logan. 

"Why the hell are you always running from me? I can't take it when you run from me!" 

"I'm not doing this now. Let me go." I say, trying to get my wrist free from his grasp. 

"No, we are doing this now. Why the hell did you run?" 

"We're all running from something, Logan." I spit, repeating Dex's words. 

"You still don't get it do you? How much clearer do I need to be for you to understand that I'm not going anywhere? I have been in love with you for ten years, Neva! Ten years. It isn't just going to go away!" 

"I never asked you to love me! Why are you doing this to me?" "Because I hate seeing you fall and not get back up. I want to be the one to catch you, but you keep pushing me away!" 

"What do you want from me?" I whisper. 

"You. Just you. All of you. Every broken piece." 

I bow my head. He releases my wrists from behind my back, and they drop to my side. I can't give him what he wants. I just can't do it. I will break him. Christ, I break myself on a daily basis. 

"I can't give you that." I say, taking a step back. 

"I'm not giving you up without a fight, Neva. You can't just walk away from us!" 

"I am protecting you the only way I know how." 

"I don't need protecting. What part of me looks like it needs protecting?" 

"Your heart." I whisper. I gulp back the tears that were begging to release. I would not cry. But every time I pushed back that feeling, it hurt just a little bit more. 

"You're breaking it right now." He whispers, taking a step towards me. 

"I will break it over and over again, Logan. My nightmares will hurt you, my fear of people being ripped away from me will gut you, and my anxiety will spike yours." 

"I can take pain, Neva. I had dealt with it for the past three weeks. I would rather have the pain with you, than without you." 

"I … I." The words are at the tip of my tongue. Waiting to release, but I know if I say them, everything will change. Nothing will be the same and I will drag him into the pit of hell where my heart lies and my nightmares are real. 

"I can't."

*******************

I could not wait to read this book!

If you have not read "Finding You" you need to get on it, it is a heartbreaking love triangle then has this crazy ass twist at the end. The first part of this book is one ugly mess, but once again Logan swoops in and saves the day. Logan is the boy that has loved Neva for the past 10 years, holding her together and being there for her at every turn. Now Logan just recently told Neva he was in love with her, and from Neva's eyes Logan was your all American football playing man whore, even know he was her white knight. Neva decided she did not want to be that broken girl anymore, so she tried to become someone else and instead of giving her heart to Logan (which is where is belongs) she gave it to Angel. This turned out to be a grave mistake. As for Angel he does not get much play in this book, but even know what he did was unforgivable I can not help but feel sorry for him and hope that he heals and finds love. I honestly wanted to punch Neva mid way thru the book. She was thinking one thing, but when she came face to face with Logan she resisted and ran. Logan oh boy he is a hot mess that you just want to hug.  Lucky for these two they have some good friends that force them to work things out once and for all- either be together or walk away for good. One hot sex scenes. 

Fabulous ending.

Cover Reveal & Giveaway "Make Me Forget" by Brandelyn Harris

Make Me Forget

Synopsis: 

*Inspired by true events*

Where do you turn when the ones who are supposed to love you most, hurt you?

When is enough, enough?

That is the exact question Chloe Evans had when she escaped her own personal hell that terrifying night. Even though the road to rebuilding her life has been tough, she's spent the last two years trying to mend her battered soul. Doubting that all her efforts are even worth it, she begins to feel she will forever be tied to the man who took everything away from her.

Ryder Matthews is the epitome of what most girls associate with perfection. With his good looks, bad boy persona, multiple tattoos and piercings he is every girl’s fantasy; every girl except Chloe Evans that is. Ryder sees Chloe as a challenge...one that he's more than confident he will win.

We all have things in life we'd like to forget about. Some bigger than others. When Chloe uses college as her diversion to escape the memories will Ryder be able to make her forget?

Price Drop "Beautiful Failure" by Mariah Cole

Price Drop!

"Beautiful Failure" was $2.99 but you can click it for .99 right now.

Not sure how long the price will be dropped so click it quick.

If you're looking for a heartwarming story about a girl who falls deeply in love with a troubled boy who changes her life--a sob story with pretty metaphors and a million ways that'll tell you how "broken" she is, STOP. Don't read another word of this. 

I'm not that type of girl. 

My name is Emerald Anderson and I'm not going to bullshit you: I flunked out of college after my sophomore year, I've been fired from every job I've ever taken, and I've never had a fully functioning relationship in my life. 

I wish I could say that I had a cheerleader in my corner, someone who says, "No, Emerald--You're great and you are good at something!" but I don't. My grandparents are completely oblivious to my life, and my mother's dying words to me were "You're going to end up just like me one day. A beautiful nothing." 

She was right.

As I decide to start my life over and take two jobs that will forever change me--one from the inside, and one from the outside, I keep my mother's words close to my heart so I can keep the sexy and mysterious Carter Black away. 

He's the first man who's ever pursued me, the first man who seems bent on finding out why I am the way I am, but he's wasting his time. 

I'm not broken. I don't need to be fixed. I'm perfectly fine being a beautiful failure...

Love Show

Hadley Arrington is the career-driven editor-in-chief of her university’s prestigious newspaper. Jack Diamond is a laidback student whose good looks have made things even easier than they need to be. She’s the girl who came out of nowhere and kissed him in the rain. He’s the boy who made her do something crazy.

When the stakes seem too high, they have to decide if they’ll let their love show or if they’ll walk away for good.

*************

.5

Hadley is pretty wrapped up in her career goal and doesn't do much of anything besides school and the university newspaper. When she kisses Jack and walks away she can't stop thinking about him. They finally cross paths but Hadley is one tough nut to crack - she is seriously infuriation so much so I gave some thought to stop reading. As things go on with Jack & Hadley some rules get broken but she is still on her career course and Jack does not fit in course anywhere. Things get hairy and come to a breaking point and things about Jack's family come to surface making things very emotional. These two decide to call it quits but are miserable without each other. Hadley has her light bulb moment and hopefully it's not to late to let Jack finally know how she feels.

Some sex scenes -nothing detailed or raunchy. Ending was ok I would have liked an Epilogue.

Two years ago everything changed for the remaining members of the Seattle rock band Tempest.

Two years is a long time.

Too long to keep on remembering.

Not nearly long enough to forget.

In trouble with nowhere else to go songstress Lace Lowell seeks refuge with the band during their stop in New York City. It's a risky move for her because they are both there, two impossibly good looking men whose lives are inseparably entwined with hers. One who bruised her heart and one who smashed it into pieces.

Warren “War” Jinkins, the mercurial lead singer of Tempest, has always had a thing for Lace. But then again so does his best friend and band mate.

Bryan “Bullet” Jackson, the sinfully handsome tat-sleeved lead guitarist, has a bad boy reputation befitting his nickname. For the past two years Bullet’s had a rule with the groupies: one time, never twice, leave ‘em satisfied, but always leave ‘em.

Two guys, one woman, and a host of dark secrets all together within the tight confines of a tour bus as the group travels cross country.

Can the past be forgotten and buried?

Will friendships prevail?

Or will the three of them succumb to seductive impulses too addictive to resist?

Hot New Release "Who I Am" by Shanora Williams

Title: Who I Am (FireNine #3)
Author: Shanora Williams writing as S.Q. Williams
Release:  January 28, 2014

Goodreads Link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18681557-who-i-am?from_search=true

Synopsis:

Some stories aren’t easy to tell.

Some situations aren’t easy to relive.

But I was raised to be strong—to hold my own. Because of it, I was hurt, torn down, beaten and even had my heart snatched right out of my chest.

But I’m ready now. It’s time for me to speak up. You want to know what really goes on inside my head, well I’m right here.

Real. Raw. Intense.

This is all me. Roy Sykes. This is my story, and trust me… its far from pretty.

Excerpt:

(Kelsey's POV)

A smile smothers my lips as I spot Roy standing in front of some fancy restaurant. He’s dressed in all black (as usual), but his hair is wavy, proving he most likely took a shower before reaching his destination. He’s looking around, and there are moments when he checks his phone. My smile continues as I start to walk toward him, but in no time, my smile evaporates. A girl rushes up to him, and I stop in my tracks, staring like a deer stuck in headlights. I’m… confused. The girl stands on her toes and wraps her arms around his neck, and somehow, a part of me shrivels away. I swallow to block the dryness in my throat. I can feel my bottom lip trembling… my palms getting sweaty. I don’t even realize I’ve dropped the bag in my hand or the cup holder containing the coffee until I’m storming towards him. My eyebrows are furrowed, fists clenched tight around my keys. The sharp metal of my keys is digging into my hand, but I don’t even realize it. I can’t seem to focus on anything but my boyfriend walking into some restaurant with this blonde beauty.

  CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Excerpt

When I open my front door, I’m not surprised to see her in jeans. She thinks the extra clothing will deter me.

“Welcome to my not-so-humble abode.”

“This house is way too big for one person,” she says as she turns her back to me so I can take her coat.

I slip the coat off and hang it up in the coat closet as she glances around the foyer at the marble floors, the sweeping curved staircase, and the enormous industrial era chandelier.

“You want something to drink,” I ask as I take a few steps toward the kitchen, hoping she’ll follow me instead of standing there with her mouth agape.

“The only thing that’s missing in here is a ten-foot-tall self-portrait.”

“That’s in the study.”

She turns to me and purses her lips. “Exactly how rich are you?”

“I’m not rich. I’m wealthy.”

She sighs as she follows me into the kitchen. I open the refrigerator and pull out a bottle of water. When I turn around to hand it to her, she’s too busy admiring the glossy white cabinets to notice. I press the cold bottle against the back of her neck and she gasps as she steps aside.

“You bastard!” she cries. I chuckle as I hold the bottle out to her and she waits a moment before she takes it. “You’re a child. How the hell are you able to live here by yourself without setting the house on fire?”

“Baby, this house has been set on fire multiple times.”

“Ugh. You are such a player,” she groans, holding her hands out as I approach her. “Don’t touch me.”

“That won’t last long.”

“Are we talking about your erection?”

I chuckle as her hands press against my chest. “Your humor only turns me on even more.”

She pushes me hard and quickly scoots sideways to get away from me. “We need to talk,” she says as she scurries around the kitchen island and takes a seat at the breakfast bar with her bottle of water. “I’m scared shitless.”

“I can help you with that.”

“With what?” she whispers breathlessly as I stand behind the barstool and brush her ponytail aside.

“All of it. If you want to talk, we’ll talk.” I kiss the back of her neck and the plastic water bottle in her handle crackles as she tightens her grip.

*************

We already get a taste of Senia & Tristan throughout the Shattered Heart series but to be up close and personal with then is so much better. Senia seems to be a mess when her and Tristan hook up and she certainly is going to be one of his quickies that he tosses aside. Yeah she had a quickie with him but she was the one to leave him first. Tristan has a horrible past that comes out throughout the book and it's a truly is horrible beyond belief. I am not sure if Tristan really loves Senia or if he is doing it for his Grandma but his true feels become clear even to him after a turn of events. Tragedy strikes and I'm afraid where it will leave these two once the dust settles . A few hot steamy sex scenes. We get a lot of info on the rest of the couples in the band. Fabulous Ending.

Everything orderly and well balanced. 
Her perfect match.

All Ryder wants is inner peace. Freedom from the hatred churning in his gut.

Saved by Razor and Cobra, sons of the Scorpions, he owes his life and allegiance to them. The Scorpion MC is his only family. One he will serve and protect till his dying breath. 
What he doesn’t need in his life is a smart mouthed woman who thinks she’s better than him. One who pushes every one of his buttons. One who challenges him to want to be more than a drifter. One who makes him question everything he’s ever known. 
Ryder never saw it coming. He can’t get Jade out of his head. She shows him what he really wants. Her.
Ryder wants Jade beneath him. Submitting to him and only him.
“I’m addicted to the taste of you, baby. Your skin. Your mouth. Your pussy. Give it to me. All of it. I want it all.” ~ Ryder
Jade has other plans that don’t include badass biker boys.

AUTHOR BIO

Jani has been married for a long time to a special man, and her two children and their partners are the sunshine in her life. She is a voracious reader and would spend her last dollar on a book - always fascinated that for the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through someone else's eyes.

Besides reading, her favorite 'thing' is traveling - she has traveled the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realization that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things. Her hobby - Scrapbooking - keeps her up till way after midnight and her usual subjects are her family and her travels.

Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people, about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness - arguably the most difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately desires (in her humble opinion).
