Excerpt

 

Cash’s POV“Stay.”

It’s uttered so quietly, I assume she’s dreaming. Without turning to look at her, I take another step out of the room.

“Please.”

There is a desperate sound in her tone that seizes my heart and traps the air in my lungs. Turning back, I go to the side of the bed and crouch down, so I’m eye-level with her. Softly, I push the hair off her forehead and hold her gaze. All her defenses are down. If a person’s eyes are windows to their soul, I feel like I’m seeing into the depths of her. Seeing all the broken pieces.

“All right, baby girl, I’ll stay.”

And here we have it people…The first book to make me cry of the year-Healing the Broken by K. Street! Healing the Broken will grab your insides, hold them tight, then K. Street will let you go out of her grips and you will feel just as beaten down as Ryann Sinclair. K. Street wrote this book so vividly and with such emotion that it was just amazing! I wish I could really describe how beautifully written this book was. Street took an unapproachable subject matter and wrote it beautifully with such grace and style. I felt every emotion the characters did-happiness, sadness, broken, love, and the feeling of just giving up. To be able to feel of that while reading is truly unique and my hat is off to K. Street for making that possible.

Healing the Broken was not a rushed love story and truly did not leave any emotion unturned. When an author can make you see exactly what they are writing, to actually be able to visualize the events and actions let alone the characters, is truly an amazing gift.

Ryann Sinclair is not your ordinary character. She is trying to forget her past. However, her horrific past is what makes her strong but also can break her at any moment. Normally I see characters that are broken, cry and fall apart but Ryann has a badass side to her! Ryann also as a huge wall up that only Cash can penetrate.

Cash is well- just say hello to your new book boyfriend. Whew and let me tell you to have a man stand behind you, support you and be there for you in your best and darkest moments- isn’t that what we all want ladies? Cash is that guy. I adore this story and couple because there is not a moment he leaves her. When she pushes him away- he stays! I love that. I love that he never says enough of this. I love that K. Street doesn’t make them a typical couple in a romance novel.

Special price of $.99
through release weekend

 

Tequila and Tailgates is the second book in Andrea’s Country Road series and it can be read as a standalone.  However, we do have updates on the couple from the first book so if you want to know about their story, go back and read Whiskey and Honey first, then come read this one.

“Truth or Dare”

I enjoyed this sweet and sassy story.  Jameson and Ashton have grown up beside one another.  He’s her brother’s best friend.  Yes, I know this cliché is starting to run its course, but I liked Andrea’s take on it.  Neither have really pined after the other one throughout the years.  It’s just that one night that changed everything between them.

They’ve kept their distance as much as possible and have learned to deal with one another when they’re together since they do have the same circle of friends.  But now due to a freak accident, Ashton finds herself having to live with Jameson until her house is repaired.  And then they add something in their new roommate status…..

” ‘One Rule.’

‘Fine, what?’

‘Monogamy.  No sleeping with others.  If you meet someone and want to hook up, you tell me first and this ends.’

‘Deal. But, I have one too.’

‘Oookkkaayyy,’ I reply.

‘Don’t fall in love with me, Sunshine.’

Planting a quick kiss on my lips, he laughs and turns toward the stove.

Jameson may be joking, but it is also likely a little too late.”

Jameson and Ashton are quite a pair together.  They both are fighting the same battle towards each other but never realizing the other is having the same issues.  They have some work to do in the communications department and they both know it.  They just refuse to truly accept what they are feeling, not only to themselves but to one another.

Andrea writes quite the funny and sassy story between these two.  There are no short of jabs and witty come backs in this book.  It’s funny how two people who are so compatible are completely blind to it themselves.  Andrea brings everything full circle in the end and I feel she pulled it all together in a nice pace.  Nothing was rushed and everything fell into place.

Great follow up to the first book.  I am looking forward to Owen and Landon’s books!!!

 

 

We spent the entire weekend at the
lake eating, drinking, and swimming. It’s a tradition that we maintain to this day. On the
final night of the weekend, Jameson and I were the last two awake by the fire. I think together
we managed to consume an entire bottle of tequila. And, as it often is, the alcohol was a sort of
truth serum for us.
We started a game of Truth or Dare,
which never quite mustered a dare. Until the end. Truths varied from cheating on history tests to
sneaking in after curfew and even first crushes. I admitted to my fear of small children and
Jameson admitted his fear of a woman dressed in head-to-toe leopard. We laughed and we
cried. Tears from laughter, not sadness.
Then he asked me the final truth or
dare as I took my last shot and handed him the bottle.
“Truth or Dare,
Ash?”
 
“Hmmm. Well,
considering we’ve just demolished a bottle of tequila, neither seems like a good idea.
I’m likely to break a leg or make an ass of myself.”
 
“I’d go with the
ass part. I don’t think either of us wants a lecture from Piper if we have to go to the
hospital.” 
 
“Ain’t that the
truth. Okay then. Truth it is. Hit me.”
 
“Do you ever think about
kissing me?”
 
Seconds that feel like minutes
pass between us. Something glimmers in his eyes as he asks me. Screw it, I can always blame
the tequila.
 
“Yes.” 
 
His breath hitches and a sinister
smile takes over my face. Two can play this game.
 
“Your turn, J. Truth or
Dare?”
 
He stands and finishes the
tequila straight from the bottle and takes the three steps necessary to stand in front of me. He
bends so that his hands rest on the arms of my chair and leans in. I can smell the tequila on his
breath mixing with mine. My own breath hitches.
 
“Dare,
Sunshine.” 
 
“I hate that
name.”
 
“I
know.”
 
Our words are
whispers.
 
“I dare you to kiss
me.”

The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan….Blog Tour & Review

 

RMbanner

 

room-mate_amazonThe last time I saw my best friend’s younger brother, he was a geek wearing braces. But when Cannon shows up to crash in my spare room, I get a swift reality check.

Now twenty-four, he’s broad shouldered and masculine, and so sinfully sexy, I want to climb him like the jungle gyms we used to enjoy. At six-foot-something with lean muscles hiding under his T-shirt, a deep sexy voice, and full lips that pull into a smirk when he studies me, he’s pure temptation.

Fresh out of a messy breakup, he doesn’t want any entanglements. But I can resist, right?

I’m holding strong until the third night of our new arrangement when we get drunk and he confesses his biggest secret of all: he’s cursed when it comes to sex. Apparently he’s a god in bed, and women instantly fall in love with him.

I’m calling bullshit. In fact, I’m going to prove him wrong, and if I rack up a few much-needed orgasms in the process, all the better.

There’s no way I’m going to fall in love with Cannon. But once we start…I realize betting against him may have been the biggest mistake of my life.

Kendall Ryan is my go-to for quick, no-drama, romantic reads.  And she never fails.

The Room Mate is sexy, comical and cute book that starts Kendall’s 2017 out with bang – both literally and figuratively.  HA!

Paige and Cannon grew up together.  Cannon is the little brother of Allie, Paige’s BFF.   Paige always saw him as her nerdy little brother, til the day she shows up on her doorstep.  He’s not 24 and going through his residency for medical school.  And yea, he looks like a walking billboard.

Paige keeps telling herself that she’s doing her best friend a favor by allowing her brother to crash at her place for two months after he was evicted from his old place due to former flame causing some major issues.

Everything will be fine.  These two are grown adults.  They can handle the attraction and not act upon it.  But wait – that’s not really the problem.  They both could use some non-commitment sex.  Everyone woman Cannon sleeps with seems to fall in insta-love with him.  And well Paige needs to get in game.  Plus she wants to prove that to Cannon that his actions in the sack won’t make her fall in love with him.

Kendall is always able to write some great characters.  They are always relatable in some way.  And their interactions with one another are always so natural and at times quick funny.  Kendall’s writing is always on-point and keeps the book moving at a great pace.  I never want to put her books down once I start them.

Another great hit to add to her already humungous pile of great achievements.

FBI agent, Eden Collins is going home… to catch a killer.  Fans of Audey Harte’s It Takes One and Kendra Elliott’s Bone Secrets series, will devour The Devil’s Daughter, the fast-paced and suspenseful first book, in the Hidden Sins series by NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author Katee Robert.

Title: The Devil’s Daughter

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: January 24, 2017

Publisher: Montlake Romance

Print Length:  316 pages

Synopsis:

Growing up in a small town isn’t easy, especially when you’re the daughter of a local cult leader. Ten years ago, Eden Collins left Clear Springs, Montana, and never once looked back. But when the bodies of murdered young women surface, their corpses violated and marked with tattoos worn by her mother’s followers, Eden, now an FBI agent, can’t turn a blind eye. To catch the killer, she’s going to have to return to the fold.

Sheriff Zach Owens isn’t comfortable putting Eden in danger, even if she is an elite agent. And he certainly wasn’t expecting to be so attracted to her. As calm and cool as she appears, he knows this can’t be a happy homecoming. Zach wants to protect her—from her mother, the cult, and the evil that lurks behind its locked gates. But Eden is his only key to the tight-lipped group, and she may just be closer to the killer than either one of them suspects…

I have to say that I am really love this side of Katee Robert.  Most people read her more contemporary romance books, but I am absolutely loving her romantic suspense side.  And this book is definitely more thriller and suspense than romance, but there is a tiny bit of it.

So if you read the synopsis (which I would assume one has) then you know that Eden has returned to her childhood town, one she vowed never to return to.  However, it’s the circumstances that has her more on edge than just being back home.

Eden is helping out the local police unofficially on a case where the trail leads to her mother’s cult, Elysia.  Elysia is based on the Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone.

There are so many things I love about this book.  Katee is able to write a very thrilling and suspenseful plot that leaves you guessing til the very end.  Katee does a great job of explaining the cult’s beliefs and culture, which helps filtrate into the case they are trying to solve.

Everything ties together so perfectly in the end.  And what makes it so great is how Katee slowly and methodically gives you all the pieces to slowly put together.  Trust me – you may think you have all the pieces in place perfectly together, until you realize that there is more to the puzzle.

The Devil’s Daughter is captivating, thrilling and suspenseful must read.  A fantastic start to her newest series.

Excerpt

By the time she made it back to the courtyard, it was empty, everyone having gone off to their varying duties. Martha might be a monster of a particular variety, but she had a well-run establishment. But then, she would. Keep her people too busy to stop and wonder about some of the insane shit she preaches. That saying about idle hands didn’t originate with the Greeks, but her mother had never been shy about incorporating whatever dogma she found most useful. No one questioned it.

No one but Eden.

And she’d paid for every question she’d asked.

She stopped next to her car, slowing her movements, because if she didn’t exert total control, she was going to fling herself into the driver’s seat and tear out of here as fast as the car could go. She wouldn’t stop in Clear Springs. She’d just keep driving until she put a few states between her and Elysia.

Not an option. You made damn sure of that.

She noticed the door was unlocked and frowned. Had she locked it when she got here? Eden couldn’t be sure. She’d been so rattled and practically bursting with adrenaline and dread that it was entirely possible she’d headed for her mother’s house without pausing to lock the door.

But she didn’t think so.

She opened the driver’s door cautiously, half expecting something to explode. She only had cursory bomb training, so even if she swept the vehicle, she couldn’t be sure she’d find something. If there was even something to find. Hello, paranoia, my old friend. She turned a slow circle, trying to figure out if someone would have had enough time to plant something. If a person had the know-how, setting up a bomb in a half hour was cake.

Way to be reassuring.

She leaned back into the car, a flash of white and yellow catching her eye. Frowning, she leaned in farther and used the pen in her cup holder to hook the circular wreath of daisies lying on the floorboard of the passenger side. It looked like the kind of thing she’d made when she was a kid and bored out of her ever-loving mind during the summer. She’d weave together the flowers that grew in the fields of Elysia into something very similar to this and wear it while she pretended she was Persephone, just waiting for her Hades to appear and whisk her away to be his queen. Eden dropped it like it’d caught fire. She’d completely forgotten about playing that game. Hell, no one knew she’d done it. She’d always been alone out there.

Or so she’d thought.

She wanted to throw the flowers away, to rip the wreath apart and grind it beneath her boots. But it was most definitely some kind of evidence. Even if there was no trace on there to find whoever had left it, it was proof that someone had been watching her when she got here.

Apparently my instincts aren’t as ravaged as I thought.

She wasn’t sure if that was comforting or terrifying.

Perfect ending to one hell of an amazing series. 

“To Fidelity”

I love, love, love this series and loved how this all played out.  And Aleatha wrapped this story up beautifully.  Fidelity is the 5th and final book in this series and we finally get to see how this all ends for Charli and Nox.

Aleatha definitely delivers her on promise to keep us guessing up to the last minute as to what will happen with all the players.  There isn’t any shortage of suspense with the many twists she throws out in this book.  But through it all, the love between Charli and Nox always shines through.

I won’t give any details away but I will say that we get more than one HEA in this book.  And I love that some characters stories won’t be ending with this book.  And the Fidelity world will continue on in a very unique way.  And that is something I am very much looking forward to.

“Never stop believing”

 

 

 

 

BETRAYAL 1One week. No future. No past. No more.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as “Charli,” she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined. With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

 

“Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”

 

Lennox “Nox” Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one:

 

One week. No more.

 

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

“New rules…my rules.”

Alex “Charli” Collins found pleasure with Nox like she’d never known. That was before she knew his last name. Now that Infidelity is involved and the rules have changed, what will result when real life and fantasy collide?

Now, once again, the game has changed. Nox and Charli’s hot sensual encounter has grown into something more but it is threatened with secrets and regrets. Is it their love and intense sexual chemistry that’s pushing them together or something darker, a puppetmaster behind the scenes pulling the strings on their love affair?

Shadowy villains lurk around each corner and everyone is suspect as Nox’s and Charli’s pasts collide with the present and threaten to compel them back to their predestined fates.

Flawed by Tracy Wolff…Release Day with Review

FLAWED

by Tracy Wolff

On Sale January 17th | Ballantine/Loveswept

The bestselling Ethan Frost series introduces a tantalizing new hero—and the broken woman only he can save. Discover why Beth Kery once declared that readers of Tracy Wolff will “fall in love under the spell of a master.”

 

Synopsis

When Tori Reed loses everything, he sets her free.

I told myself I’d never trust Miles Girard, no matter how brilliant or sexy he may be. His sister, Chloe—Ethan Frost’s wife—is my best friend, but I know just how low Miles will stoop to get what he wants. Now he’s the last thing I want: my boss.

Growing up, I had it all—except for the sense that I belonged. And when a mistake from my past surfaces in the press, my parents don’t hesitate to cut me off.

But surprisingly, Miles offers me a helping hand.

Before I know it, our relationship turns unprofessional in the hottest ways. Of course, he still drives me crazy. But when I’m dealt the ultimate blow, Miles is there for me. And maybe he’s the one I’ve been looking for all along.

Well hello my new favorite “nerdy” friend, Miles. Whew are you going to love this book! In all honesty, this is my first Tracy Wolff novel and why did I not know about her! I am impressed! Tracy wrote Tori and Miles with such pizzazz that I had no choice but to keep turning the pages. I love that Tori is a feisty character that holds her own. She is strong and capable of taking care of herself. In a way I found her to be the girl you love to hate. However, I found myself falling in love with her spunk and spoil brat act just as Miles did! Miles is great in his own right. He is brilliant, nerdy and protective, oh and hot as hell. It is nice to see a male character who is not a billionaire but someone who has earned his success because of his brain. Tracy Wolff wrote with such passion that it truly bounced off the pages. It is a fast paced book, yes, but you feel like it naturally would be that way between these two. I have to say I read this in two days- that is how good it was! You will not be disappointed if you love a passionate fast paced romance novel!

About the Author

 


Tracy Wolff collects books, English degrees and lipsticks and has been known to forget where—and sometimes who—she is when immersed in a great novel. At six she wrote her first short story—something with a rainbow and a prince—and at seven she forayed into the wonderful world of girls lit with her first Judy Blume novel. By ten she’d read everything in the young adult and classics sections of her local bookstore, so in desperation her mom started her on romance novels. And from the first page of the first book, Tracy knew she’d found her life-long love.

Have you ever had that “I want to have that kind of love” moment? This book does that over and over. Southern Desire is such a sweet book- I mean just so sweet and innocent. It makes you want to hug your heart. This was the first time I have read Kaylee Ryan and wow I am a fan for sure! I adored how Whitney and Aaron fall for each other.  Whitney and Aaron don’t fall in love within a chapter or a day or two- it is more natural and realistic. Whitney moves to be close to her only family left after her mother passes away from breast cancer. She begins to work for Kinley, Aaron’s sister. They form a strong friendship that allows the chance for her to get to know Aaron. Ladies let me tell you, a cowboy is something hot! Whew…Aaron will get your heart racing and make you want to sign up for that dating website for farmers. He is such a gentlemen and sweet. I think if you want a love story that is full of love, finding “the one” and not full of hot and heavy, then Southern Desire is for you. Kaylee Ryan did a terrific job writing a love story that was enduring and never dull to read. I am so happy that I have a new author to look forward too reading more of!

Home Run by Heidi McLaughlin…Release Day blitz with Review

Title: Home Run
Series: The Boys of Summer #2
Author: Heidi McLaughlin
Release Date: Jan 17, 2017
Add to your TBR

LOVE ISN’T A GAME . . .

I’ve given up everything for the chance to play major league baseball. Everything. Now I’m so close I can practically hear the crowd chanting my name. There’s nothing that could take my dream away from me . . .

Unless I lose focus. And Ainsley Burke is the most beautiful, distracting woman I’ve ever met. When I’m with her, I can’t think of anything else.

But no matter how much I want Ainsley, there’s no room for love in my game plan. I can give her a quick tour of the bases, but that’s it. Then I have to let her go. If she wants to think I’m a love ’em and leave ’em player, fine.

All dreams require sacrifice. I just wish this one didn’t mean tearing out my own heart.

Whenever anyone asks me “what should I read?”, I always tell them to pick up one of Heidi McLaughlin’s books. I do this because with any book she writes, she has the ability to reinvent a romance story. Home Run is perfect example of how just that. I have read several romances where I knew what was coming next, loved them but I just knew. Not with Home Run! Heidi McLaughlin will suck you in with her writing, make you fall in love with the characters, rip your heart in two then make you fall in love again all with an element of surprise.

Ainsley Burke and Cooper Bailey meet at a charity event The Renegades baseball team Cooper plays for. Cooper is a rookie whose whole world is baseball. He refuses not to advance in his career and will not put anything before baseball. It is actually a blessing for him that Ainsley keeps saying no to him when he asks her out. However, he does find a way to become friends with her while he is in spring training. They form a friendship and soon Ainsley decides to take a chance on Cooper. As soon as she takes the leap forward, she is hit with a family matter that requires all of her attention and she pushes Cooper away. This is why I love Heidi’s writing because you expect him to not walk away quietly but he does.

While they are apart, Ainsley and Cooper, live their lives as best as they can. It is not until news arrives that they find themselves face to face. I cannot say more without giving anything away but I so did not see that coming! If you want to read something that has a love, hate, heartbreak and friendship- this is a must! I am thrilled that Home Run held up to Heidi’s reputation with me.

Heidi is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author.

Originally from Portland, Oregon and raised in the Pacific Northwest, she now lives in picturesque Vermont, with her husband and two daughters. Also renting space in their home is an over-hyper Beagle/Jack Russell, Buttercup and a Highland Westie/Mini Schnauzer, JiLL and her brother, Racicot.

When she isn’t writing one of the many stories planned for release, you’ll find her sitting courtside during either daughter’s basketball games.

Heidi’s first novel, Forever My Girl, is currently in production for a major motion picture.

My Peace by Courtney Cole…Release Day Blitz & Review

My Peace, the continuation of Pax Tate’s story from IF YOU STAY, is live today!

Happy endings must be worked for.

Pax Tate used to be an effed up asshole, but you’d never know it now.

He’s got a sexy wife, their own little family, a cozy home, and a successful career.

Everything is perfect.

Until his past rears its ugly head.

Pax will do anything to protect his family,

even if he destroys himself in the process.

**BUY ON AMAZON **

Note from Courtney:

Dear Readers,

I announced recently that I based the character of Pax Tate on my twenty-two year old son, Gunner.

Gunner is a drug addict. He’s currently in rehab, and he’s doing well, but it’s been a long roller-coaster of a journey to get here.

Pax’s personality traits are Gunner’s. Even though Gunner’s moods have been mercurial because of drugs, deep down he is strong and funny, charming and sweet. I wanted that to come through in Pax.

(Of course, when I’m writing the “sexy time” scenes, I’m definitely picturing Jensen Ackles or Alex Pettyfer in my head. 🙂

Pax’s heart is as deep as the ocean, even though sometimes, he can be an asshole. I think readers realized that in IF YOU STAY, and that book sat on the New York Times for twelve weeks back in 2013.

Readers have asked for more Pax over the years, and it is only now, that I wanted to add more to the story. It is only now that I have come to terms with the fact, based on my son’s own life, that happy endings must be worked for.

I hope you love Pax’s story.

I wrote it with the ending I want for my own son, one of hope, of happiness and of good health.

I will give anything to make that true.

From my pen to God’s ear.

I hope you enjoy the story. Thank you for reading!

XO,

Courtney

** BUY ON AMAZON **

My Peace is a perfect follow up to If You Stay.  And you MUST read If You Stay in order to truly understand this novella.
If You Stay hit close to home for me, so I knew immediately this novella would be the same way.  But also knowing now that Pax is based on Courtney’s son, it just makes the story all the more real and raw.
My Peace shows that an addicts struggle is never over and lasts a lifetime.  And it takes the love of everyone in their lives to help them overcome any new struggles they may face.  And even those ugly demons that sometimes try to worm their way back in.  This book had me in tears, some ugly cryng at times. For some people it won’t hit close to home but it will cause you feel everything.
I love how Courtney interwove a few different story lines into this.  But also gave you insight into addiction and how even a small situation can cause any recovering addict to possibly relapse.  Courtney tells this story from both Mila and Pax’s POV; these two face new struggles each and Courtney really proves how strong their love is.
I can’t praise Courtney enough for even writing this story, knowing how difficult it had to be.  But I love that she did and there aren’t enough “thank you’s” to show my gratitude.  It gave us readers more of Mila and Pax, something we can never get enough of.  But it also gives readers more of an insight to what and addict and their loved ones go through.  It doesn’t really get any more real, raw or more life like than this.

Lucian Devine by Renée Carlino….Blog Tour & Review

luciandivine-fb-banner-now

 

luciandivine_03-1-1-1“My guardian angel is a drunk.”

Evelyn Casey’s life is at a standstill. She’s in her mid-twenties, struggling with the dating scene in San Francisco. Nothing seems to be working out, and she’s starting to think that she’ll live out her days in her crummy apartment with her overbearing roommate, Brooklyn. It’s absurd, but sometimes Evey longs for a guardian angel to show up and save the day.

And then he does. Seriously. His name is Lucian and he’s a guardian angel, been on the job for two thousand years. His sudden presence in her life is both good—he’s brilliant, witty, and warm—and bad—he’s brilliant, witty, warm, and hot as —-. But as perfect as Lucian seems, he’s got problems of his own. He’s taken up drinking and he’s brazenly inserted himself into Evey’s life, going against the greatest cosmic law ever created.

For Evey, the rules are simple: You are not allowed to hook up with your guardian angel. But sometimes fulfilling your destiny requires a leap of faith, a confrontation with God.

Yes, God as in God.

I enjoy Renee Carlino and her writing.  However, this book didn’t feel that it had the depth of her other books.
What I did love about this book was the different aspects it brought.  Yes, it’s about angels but the way Renee tells the story is quite interesting.  She has a unique take on guardian angels and God and the unknown.  I truly loved the added humor in this book. It helped give the story that quirky view and that what’s kept me interested.
Renee tells this story from Lucian and Evelyn’s POV.   Lucian definitely made this book for me.  I enjoyed his view on things and the way he challenged everything.  His love for Evelyn was astounding.  Evelyn was just ok for me.  I couldn’t really connect with her but that sometimes happens.
Overall, it’s how this story played out that entertained me.  While I had figured out how things were going to happen, it’s the characters reactions that made the book interesting.  These angels do things I don’t expect most angels to do.  And the unexpected in always enjoyable to read.

Meghan Quinn – you have done me in with this book.

This book is an emotional tidal wave.  It will crush you but the end will leave you feeling new and fresh again.  It’s an emotional and cathartic story, one that I will forever remember.

“Prove your existence.”

I don’t even know where to start with this book.  It gutted me.  It shook me to my core.  These characters, OMG, these characters.  Hollyn, Daisy, Jace and Carter.  They’ve rooted themselves deep inside me.  They come from all different backgrounds and yet one common thing – to live and love life again.  And Meghan does one hell of an amazing job writing this book from each one of their POV’s.

“Life is work.  Life is a journey of triumphs and sorrows.  Of successes and failures.  Of learning experiences and growing opportunities.”

I want to say so much about this book but can’t and won’t.  You need to read their stories. You MUST read them.  You would think having 4 different main characters in a book would make you go bonkers and have you confused, but that won’t happen.  Not one time.  Even if you don’t see who the chapter or section is about, you immediately know who it is. 

“It’s funny that as a collective whole we ask for compassion and understanding but have a hard time handing it out when the time comes.”

You will feel as though you have walked in these characters shoes and lived their lives.  Meghan takes you right there and never brings you back. This book is very raw and makes every damn emotion alive in you; from feelings of fear, anger, hatred, scared, shy, devastation to hopeful, lively, happy, appreciated and wanted.  Meghan will make you come full circle with these characters stories. 

“Failure is a part of life. Without failure you never learn, and without trying, you’re never given the chance to fail.”

You have to read this book.  I am telling everyone that if you read one book this year, it’s this one.  Meghan will floor with her flawless writing and her amazing ability to put you right there in the thick of plot.  This is my book for 2017 and I so damn glad that I didn’t have to wait all year to finally read it. 

“This right here, this is what experiencing life is all about: living, learning and loving each moment.”

This is writing.   It’s a whole other side of Meghan than what we’re used to.  This book is what it means to take your readers on a journey and make them feel the words an author writes. 

 

 

 

About the Author:

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!
