<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Summary: </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You know how you hear those stories
about once abused kids growing up and overcoming the difficult life they
have been dealt and becoming majorly successful like FBI agents or
lawyers or something cool like that and never having any lingering
problems?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well this isn't one of those stories.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I
used to know how my life as going to be, how I was going to live out my
lifeless days, unloved and fearful. Hopeless to the possibility that
life, my life could be anything better than what it is now. I knew that I
would either give up, or give in, either one would eventually being the
end of me and I didn't think that was so bad. I would no longer be
constantly reminded that I was shit, and would be shit no matter how
hard I tried in life. I thought it was all easier to just slip away.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
But that was before....</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Review</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Harley is your typical pathetic 20 something romance novel heroine who is emotionally and physically abused by her mother. Her only interests include staying out of her mother's way and her job at a local book store where she meets Deklan, a womanizing man-slut. Deklan is home to visit his dying mother, but to do so he must face his abusive father and a complicated past with his younger brother. By distracting himself with women and sex, he finds Harley, a rumored harlot, intriguing as he tests her clear innocence. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">As the two become closer, we find they are not all that different from one another. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Breathe Me" is an easy and fast read. Filled with heart thundering and body flushing imagery, Deklan's filthy mind and shocking dirty talk bring its entertainment level to its highest. As a hero, Deklan is the ultimate bad boy who is forever changed by love. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">As for Harley, she had no plot twisting characteristic to bring any impact to the story. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">The author strongly illustrates the fear, innocence and naivety, but she never becomes anything more than a victim. Harley</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> is beaten almost daily and keeps everyone at a distance, but her character never changes. And why would she? Her character was never written with any passion</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> to drive her otherwise. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">There is one particular scene depicting Harley's predilection to reading, but again it lacks the passion for change! </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">As Harley and Deklan's relationship develop, it is only fitting that it devours her character since she has no individuality or spark.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Having no real thoughts or goals for Harley's character brought the book to a one dimensional halt. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Her character just needed more!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">This book was entertaining for its sexual and steamy content, but for substance it fell flat. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Excerpt:</span></h3>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: left;">
His breathing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
His breathing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I tried to step back again, and found myself up against the side of the building, the coldness of it hitting my back. Dammit!<br />
<br />
"Harley," he moved his thumb and caressed my bottom lip. His eyes fell to my mouth and he licked his lips, and that was it. I got goose bumps all over, as I flattened my back against the wall I looked into his eyes, now a gun metal color and watched as he searched my face. He shouldn't be allowed to look at a woman like this.<br />
<br />
"What are you hiding?" Those words caused my slamming heart to stop. How could he know I was hiding, when not even Ember knew? I was trying to tell myself he didn’t, it was just a ploy for someone like him to get what he wanted. But deep down, I knew he knew.<br />
<br />
"I...I...I don't know what..."<br />
<br />
He took a deep breath and closed the already small gap between our bodies. I put my hands up to stop him, and came into contact with his rock hard abdomen. Shit, those couldn’t be real. I wanted to move my hand further and feel what I knew would be a six pack, if not eight. That was the wrong thing to touch if I wanted to stop him.<br />
<br />
"Just a taste..." His grip on my face tightened slightly as he pulled me toward his lips, the heat coming off him felt amazing, it instantly made my vaginal walls tighten and moister to dampen my panties. I had been waiting 23 years for this kiss, to feel lips on mine. I moved my hands to his side and gripped the sides of his shirt blazingly pulling him closer, I wanted this, I didn’t care that he was a stranger, a customer and that I didn’t even know his name. I. Was. Ready.<br />
<br />
He must have taken my actions as a go-ahead and he slowly leaned down bringing our mouths closer. I closed my eyes because that’s what they did in all my books and waited for his lips to touch mine.<br />
<br />
"Harley, is that you?" A voice I knew and hated right now called out.<br />
<br />
Seriously?! Great fucking timing Ember. I heard him make the sexiest noise I have ever heard as he braced his hand against the wall and leaned down, his lips brushing my ear.<br />
<br />
“I smell you. Fuck, you smell amazing.” His voice came out leathery.<br />
<br />
If I wasn’t leaning against a wall, I would have fainted epically right there. I was one hundred and thirty-five percent sure he wasn’t talking about my deodorant and it made my panties moisten more.</blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Meanwhile, I was still rejecting any forward motion in my life. I was a stagnant puddle of shit. I had volunteered to go back on location to South America with a <i>National Geographic</i> film crew. New York just wasn't the same anymore. It held no magic for me. The Amazonian jungle, with all of its wonderful and exotic diseases, seemed more appealing than taking orders from my ex-wife and her smug husband. But my request hadn't been approved or denied. It just sat in a pile of other requests on Scott's desk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He was right, and I could admit that to myself, but not out loud.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">After work, I sat on a bus bench just outside the National Geographic building. I watched hordes of people trying to get home, racing down the crowded sidewalks of Midtown. I wondered if I could judge how lonely a person was based on how much of a hurry he or she was in. No one who has someone waiting for him at home would sit on a bus bench after a ten-hour workday and people-watch. I always carried an old Pentax camera from my college<br />
days in my messenger bag, but I hadn't used it in years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I removed it from the case and starting clicking away as people flooded in and out of the subway, as they waited for buses, as they hailed cabs. I hoped that through the lens I would see her again, like I had years before. Her vibrant spirit; the way she could color a black-and-white<br />
photo with her magnetism alone. I had thought about Grace often over the years. Something as simple as a smell, like sugared pancakes at night, or the sound of a cello in Grand Central or Washington Square Park on a warm day, could transport me right back to that year in college. The year I spent falling in love with her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It was hard for me to see the beauty in New York anymore. Granted, much of the riffraff and grit was gone, at least in the East Village; it was cleaner and greener now, but that palpable energy I had felt in college was gone, too. For me, anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Time passes, life goes on, places change, people change. And still, I couldn't get Grace off my mind after seeing her in the subway. Fifteen years is too long to be holding on to a few heart-pounding moments from college.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
Rike and Peyton fell in love in college.</span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
A boy from the wrong side of the tracks, covered in ink and crooning in a bar is the last person a straight laced girl with a art major should fall for, but his rough edges made her jagged, alive, shaving away the coddled southern princess and revealing a soul wild and brilliant.</span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
They fell in love, despite her family and his past and all the reasons why it wouldn't work--and with their best friends, they made a life. Everyone was supposed to live happily ever after.<br />
They, more than anyone, knows that life doesn't go according to plan.</span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
Rike and Peyton fell in love in college. A boy with a guitar, and a poet's heart, and a girl with freckles dusted over her nose, a perfect fucking fairy tale.</span>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
But what happens when the fairy tale doesn't fall apart--but is forgotten?</span></h3>

<b>Chapter One:</b></h1>
<b>Prologue: Now</b><br />
<br />
It's raining buckets and I don't want to go out in that. I stared at it from under the awning of the club and felt Lindsay sway into me. For a second, we both wobbled and another one of the girls banged against my side and I shrieked, sure we were going down.<br />
Lindsay rights me, pulls me close. I lean my head on her shoulder and puff out a petulant, "Bitch."<br />
Her grip tightens just a touch and she laughs.<br />
I haven't been this drunk since senior year of college, when we did Christmas at her parent's beach house in Key West. I wouldn't be this drunk now except she begged.<br />
Hung over and washed out wouldn't do for the wedding, and even after that insane night on the beach with jello shots and beer funnels and tequila body shots, I had woken up without a hang over.<br />
And that's what you do, when your best friend begs the night before her wedding--you do her shots while the rest of the bridal party screams at the strippers and you slip her watered down beer that smells like piss.<br />
You take the holy fuck never again drunk, because tomorrow, no one will be looking at me while she prances down the aisle in white.<br />
Well.<br />
One person will. And he'd think this shit was hilarious. I giggle against Linds' shoulder and she bumps me gently. "You good?" She murmurs as we wait for the cab.<br />
I smirk up at her, the world spinning unsteadily. "I'm fucking wasted."<br />
She laughs softly and kisses my forehead.<br />
"Lindsay, get in," one of the other girls calls and she peers at the cab. It won't hold all of us, and I can feel a new tension settle over my best friend.<br />
Lindsay doesn't have a lot of close friends. Partly because we came here, to this city neither of us knows, because of the boys. So we both started over.<br />
And because when we have each other, and the boys, well. We don't need much else. But she's more social than I am. And she works at a small ad agency, where she's gotten close to the other girls.<br />
So when she needed bridesmaids, of course she asked them.<br />
I smirk as Lindsay shakes her head. "Y’all go. Peyton and I will grab the next."<br />
There's a moment of rain splattered quiet and then the girl--I forget but I think she's one of the Jennifers--shrugs and slides into the little cab, slamming the door behind her.<br />
"What a bitch," I mutter.<br />
She laughs, that real noise that I know like breathing. Not the fake shit she's been shoveling at the other girls all night.<br />
"Stop it," she orders and I blink up at her. "You’re thinking too much. Your drunk, Pey. Let go and enjoy it."<br />
I lean into her, and murmur, "Wanna help?"<br />
She laughs again, shoving my shoulder, and I giggle. "You are such a slut when you drink." She mutters.<br />
I nod agreeably, and a cab pulls up. It's dingy and the driver is frowning at his phone even as it he pulls to a stop. He gives us a distracted look as we spill in and the world sways, dizzy for a long moment. Lindsay tugs me against her as I whimper and pushes my hair back, studying me. "The Embassy Suites," she says and he nods, jerking into motion.<br />
Linds mutters under her breath and reaches for her seatbelt. "Sit up, honey. Belt. The rain is awful."<br />
"Freaking mother hen," I grumble and she shrugs, implacable. I huff and shift to sit up and my phone goes off, the ringtone that only Rike has. I squeal and Lindsay reaches for me as I scramble for my purse, abandoned on the dark, dirty floorboard. I close my hand over it and hear her scream, my name a twisted noise that is almost unrecognizable.<br />
It's the last thing I can't remember.</blockquote>

<span id="freeText13337398877507708897">Meet Lily Wilder: New Yorker, lawyer extraordinaire, blushing bride. And totally incapable of being faithful to one man.</span><br />
<span id="freeText13337398877507708897"><br /> </span><br />
<span id="freeText13337398877507708897">Lily’s
fiancé Will is a brilliant, handsome archaeologist. Lily is sassy,
impulsive, fond of a good drink (or five) and has no business getting
married. Lily likes Will, but does she love him? Will loves Lily, but
does he know her? As the wedding approaches, Lily’s nights—and mornings,
and afternoons—of booze, laughter and questionable decisions become a
growing reminder that the happiest day of her life might turn out to be
her worst mistake yet.</span><br />
<br />
Unapologetically sexy with the
ribald humor of Bridesmaids, this joyously provocative debut introduces a
self-assured protagonist you won’t soon forget.<br />

<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">
Brilliant. Outrageously funny. Beautifully imperfect.</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">
Lily
Wilder is 20 something New York lawyer engaged to her wonderful
archeologist boyfriend of 7 months. As we enter the week of her wedding,
we witness the horrifying acts of Lily on her bachelorette party, Lily
and her boss, Lily and her dry cleaner AND Lily and more than a few
random bar hook ups. What is this chick doing getting married!? The
story continues and we watch her struggle with the decision to get
married or call off the wedding. While unscrupulous, Lily does present a
conscious. It is this glimmer of guilt and regret that makes this story
so gripping.</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">
Some
may consider this story to be appalling, I consider more as
entertainment. So, I'm going to assess it as such. While Lily and Will's
flaws lay bare and their relationship clearly romanticizes infidelity,
it really isn't too far off from over dramatization of the rippling
chests and multiple orgasms of other romance novels.</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">
Understandably,
I hated Lily. She did and said everything I have known deep in by bones
to be wrong since I was born, but she made a very demanding lead
character. Witnessing her inner conflict eased my judgment for the sake
of entertainment. She captured my attention from page one and I did not
want to stop reading!</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">
The
supporting characters in this story move the plot along flawlessly. Not
once does the plot stall waiting for motivation. Freddy, Lily's
ultimate BFF, is hilarious as she guides Lily through the final days
before her wedding. She provides Lily a much needed reality check and
more than enough levity for a sad situation. Next, are Lily's father's
ex-wives. They provide the delightful wisdom of experience as they try
to prevent Lily from deceiving Will into an untruthful marriage.</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">
This
book takes the saying "all's fair in love and war" to a whole new
level. Can a relationship work after a "Cold War" such as Will and
Lily's? With multiple twists and turns along the way this book easily
makes a readers head spin with anticipation.</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;">

<b>Exclusive Excerpt: </b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Good morning, sleeping beauty!” A familiar voice cut across the street, and I winced. Carson sauntered over to me, holding a brown paper bag in one hand and a Styrofoam cup in the other.<br />
<br />
I blinked at him, confused. “What are you doing here?”<br />
<br />
“You mentioned where you were staying last night.”<br />
<br />
I frowned, trying to remember. “I did?”<br />
<br />
He slapped his hand to his chest as if I’d wounded him. “That’s the kind of welcome I get? A few dances and the lady doesn’t even remember me!”<br />
<br />
I giggled, but pain shot through my head, and I winced.<br />
<br />
Carson handed me the cup and the bag. “I thought you might need some hangover first-aid. You do like coffee, right?”<br />
<br />
I nodded, taking the cup. “Actually, I like tea better, but coffee’s okay.”<br />
<br />
Carson laughed. “Here I was trying to please your American sensibilities.” He shook his head ruefully. “If you want tea, we’ll find tea for you. That’s one thing we never run short of in London.”<br />
<br />
I chuckled, taking a cautious sip. It was warm, but not too hot, and I took another swallow of the coffee. “What’s in the bag?”<br />
<br />
“Hangover cure. I told you.”<br />
<br />
I peeked inside. “A croissant?”<br />
<br />
“Not just any croissant. It’s a chocolate croissant; you’ll love it.”<br />
<br />
I took a tentative bite of the flaky pastry, and then I grinned up at Carson. “Oh my God. This is so good.”<br />
<br />
He laughed. “I thought you’d like it. At least I was right about half the breakfast.”<br />
<br />
“The coffee’s good, too.” I took another sip to prove my point.<br />
<br />
“That’s good.” He draped an arm over my shoulder and pulled me close. We started to walk, and I hurried to finish the food. Taking the aspirin out of my bag, I popped a pill in my mouth and washed it down with coffee. Carson grinned at me. “Feeling better?”<br />
<br />
I nodded, surprised that my head had calmed down. “Yeah. I thought it was a migraine.”<br />
<br />
“Just a hangover. We drank a lot last night.”<br />
<br />
I flushed, remembering the feeling of his hands running all over me on the dance floor. “It was fun.”<br />
<br />
“It was more than fun.” His eyes sparkled, and his fingers began tracing lazy circles on my shoulder.<br />
<br />
I shivered in delight. “So,” I said, trying to keep the quiver out of my voice, “what did you want to do today?”<br />
<br />
His eyes danced wickedly. “Well”—he lowered his face to mine—“there are a few things I’ve had in mind,” he whispered, close enough that I could feel the vibration of his words against my skin. Hangover forgotten, I shut my eyes and parted my lips. After a moment, I felt him exhale against my mouth, and then his lips were pressed to mine.<br />
<br />
The kiss was sweet and deep, and my body felt electric. God, so this is what I’d been missing all those years? I pressed my lips to his hungrily, but then he pulled back gently and smiled.</blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">EXCERPT:</span></h3>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He made a move to get up, but she lost it, knowing once she spotted the pity in his eyes she may never be the same.<br />
“Don’t you dare feel sorry for me! I need you to leave. I’m begging you to go out the door and give me time. Tomorrow, I’ll put myself back together and everything will be fine.” Her voice broke but she pushed on. “I just need some time alone. To<br />
process. Please, Wolfe, please just go.”<br />
She had nothing left, so she turned and walked toward the window. He didn’t move from the edge of the bed. Didn’t breathe. She pressed her forehead to the cool pane of glass and prayed to finish this awful night in isolation. Tomorrow she’d get her shit together and it would be okay. But tonight all bets were off, and she felt dangerously out of control . . . on the pinnacle of something so fierce she didn’t know how to handle it.<br />
The mattress creaked. Shoes hit the floor. She held her breath and waited for the blessed silence, but instead of heading out, he stopped right behind her. His body heat roped her in and pulled tight, like a helpless calf at the rodeo. She held the windowsill in a deathlike grip, sensing him closing the distance inch by precious inch, until his chest pressed against her back.<br />
“Look at me.” The rough growl was full of danger, command, heat. She was helpless to disobey, leaving the safety of the window to turn and face him full force. He reached out and tipped her chin up. Blistering, raw lust shot from his eyes. As if they were glowing from under the sea in the Caribbean, she tumbled into the depths of a gaze that promised everything with a Warning: Danger label attached.<br />
His grip tightened, refusing to allow her to retreat, and he crowded her space by taking another step between her thighs. The sill dug into her lower back. His scent drowned out everything but the need to touch him, feast, taste—the delicious mix of lemon and soap and cotton surrounding her.<br />
“I need you to listen closely, because I’m only going to say it once. Understood?”<br />
Her lips parted. This was no friend. This was a deadly man with an agenda. Transfixed, she nodded, unable to form words, mere prey beneath the command of a dangerous predator.<br />
“I’m done with excuses and conversation and politeness. I’m over this bullshit of you questioning the power you have to grip me in a vise so tight I can’t even breathe without wanting you with my last breath. I’m tired of walking around with a dick that won’t go down when I catch your scent, or look at your sweet curves, or imagine being buried deep within you. Are you still listening, Gen?”<br />
Her body flamed so hot and bright she was surprised burn marks didn’t appear on her skin. She began to shake, and her belly uncurled so a river flow of liquid warmth coursed between her thighs, tightening her muscles, gripping her with a need she’d never experienced or believed could be real. “Yes,”she whispered.<br />
“Good. Because tonight I’m going to fuck you. All night. If I was a true friend, I’d walk out that door and give you the space to rebuild your walls. You deserve that. But I’m a selfish prick who needs you in my bed so bad I’ll trade my soul to the devil for one taste of you. Still listening?”<br />
“Y-y-yes.”<br />
“I’ll give you three seconds to run. It’s the smart thing to do. Just walk away from me and we’ll never mention this again. We’ll go back to being friends, push this whole episode aside, and go on pretending. But if you’re still standing here after that, you’re mine. Every part of you. And I promise you’ll never question your ability to cast a sexual spell on a man so deep and encompassing he’ll spend the rest of his life comparing you to every other woman he touches.”<br />
Her head spun, the room tilted, and she grasped his arm to keep her balance. “Wolfe.”<br />
“One.”<br />
Her stomach dropped to her toes. His mouth moved closer.<br />
“Oh, God.”<br />
“Two.”<br />
She swallowed, one foot poised for flight, knowing it would wreck everything, change their relationship forever, open a door that could never be shut and locked again.<br />
“I don’t—”<br />
“Three. Too late. You belong to me for tonight.”<br />
“I think—”<br />
“Don’t think. Just give me everything you got.”<br />
He cupped her cheeks, dropped his head, and took her mouth.</span></blockquote>

<b>About ALL PLAYED OUT</b>:<br />
<br />
First person in her family to go to college? CHECK.<br />
Straight A’s? CHECK.<br />
On track to graduate early? CHECK.<br />
Social life? …..yeah, about that….<br />
<br />
With just a few weeks until she graduates, Antonella DeLuca’s beginning to worry that maybe she hasn’t had the full college experience. (Okay... Scratch that. She knows she hasn't had the full college experience).<br />
<br />
So Nell does what a smart, dedicated girl like herself does best. She makes a "to do" list of normal college activities.<br />
<br />
Item #1? Hook up with a jock.<br />
<br />
Rusk University wide receiver Mateo Torres practically wrote the playbook for normal college living. When he’s not on the field, he excels at partying, girls, and more partying. As long as he keeps things light and easy, it's impossible to get hurt... again. But something about the quiet, shy, sexy-as-hell Nell gets under his skin, and when he learns about her list, he makes it his mission to help her complete it.<br />
<br />
Torres is the definition of confident (And sexy. And wild), and he opens up a side of Nell that she's never known. But as they begin to check off each crazy, exciting, normal item, Nell finds that her frivolous list leads to something more serious than she bargained for. And while Torres is used to taking risks on the field, he has to decide if he's willing to take the chance when it's more than just a game.<br />
<br />
Together they will have to decide if what they have is just part of the experiment or a chance at something real.<br />
<br />

<b>ALL PLAYED OUT
Excerpt:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“We’re going to a Halloween party. Trust me,
you’ll feel more awkward if you’re <i>not </i>dressed
up. When we get there, you’ll see. This is no big deal.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">I don’t look down at the white button-up shirt
that’s gaping open over my boobs. I’ve looked at the awful naughty-schoolgirl
costume enough times to imprint the thing on my memory.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“If this costume weren’t so … so …”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“Sexy?” she prompts. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“Atrocious.”</span></i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“Well, that’s what you get for buying a costume
the day before Halloween. Everything is picked over by then. You didn’t want to
go as Jasmine and have your stomach showing, so this is what you got. Besides,
it kind of fits you.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">I gesture to the button over my chest that’s
threatening to pop with any sudden movement. “It does <i>not </i>kind of fit me.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“I mean, the schoolgirl vibe. It’s like the
amplified version of you. That’s perfect for Halloween.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“There is absolutely no universe where the
amplified version of me would not be wearing yoga pants and glasses.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“Fine. It’s the bold and wild version of you.
Nothing wrong with trying bold and wild for a change.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">I groan and throw myself down on the toilet
seat beside her. “I’ve changed my mind. I don’t think I should go to this party
after all. All those people, and costumes, and decorations. I think Halloween
is way too overwhelming for my first foray into the college party scene.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Dylan tosses her mascara into her makeup bag
and faces me, her look now complete. She manages to appear both classy and sexy
in a homemade Statue of Liberty costume. Only Dylan could make Lady Liberty
look hot. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“Just take a deep breath, Nell. This isn’t
nearly as scary as you’re making it out to be in your head. I promise.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“Maybe not for you. But the idea of being in
some frat house with a bunch of people I don’t know—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">She cuts me off. “We’re not going to one of the
frat parties. Everyone has been avoiding that scene since … well, it doesn’t
matter. The group decided it would be better to have something smaller, more
manageable. It’s at Silas’s house. And it’s only people they know and trust.
You’ll be fine. I know it.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Apparently “people they know and trust”
translates into about thirty people on the lawn, fifteen on the porch, and more
people than I can count on the inside. Dylan’s hand is wrapped tight around my
elbow as we step through the entryway to Silas’s house. She’s on her tiptoes,
searching for him, and all I can think about is making a break for it and
getting out of there as soon as possible. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">I’m so concentrated on keeping my short skirt
down and the too-tight white shirt buttoned up that I don’t even realize she’s
found her boyfriend until she lets go of my arm. At the loss of her touch, I
look up, panicked. Silas is dressed as a fireman, and he drops his helmet to
circle his arms around Dylan. His fist clutches at the material on the back of
her dress, just above her bottom, and I immediately look away, only to lock
eyes with the one person I want to see even less than a very public display of
affection. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Mateo Torres. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">He has a beer lifted halfway to his mouth, but
his jaw is slack, and he’s staring at me. No, “stare”<i> </i>does not quite do justice to the look he’s giving me. His eyes <i>raze</i> me, and when I lift my hand to
touch my neck, subconsciously covering my all-too-visible cleavage, I’m
surprised my skin doesn’t flake away into ashes from the fire in his gaze. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Adrenaline surges through me, and for a moment
it feels like a fight-or-flight impulse, and I wonder why my brain still reads
his presence as dangerous. But then I stop and think. It’s not quite the same
sensation. Fight or flight generally makes me either panic or freeze up. It’s
about fear. This is different. When seconds pass and he still hasn’t taken his
eyes off of me, I recognize the extra sensation riding on the adrenaline’s
heels. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Power</span></i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">He makes me feel powerful.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">I drop my eyes, overwhelmed by the rush of
pleasure I feel at that idea, and am faced instead with his costume that I
hadn’t noticed before. Or more correctly, his near lack of a costume. His chest
is bare, and I can’t help but measure him with my eyes. His chest is broad,
hewn in muscles that couldn’t be more defined if an artist sculpted them. His
skin is a warm bronze, and it looks so smooth to the touch. Everywhere. Except
for the small line of dark hair disappearing beneath a strange, leatherlike
cloth. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">God. A loincloth. He’s wearing nothing but a <i>loincloth</i>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Oh, mercy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Then he’s moving toward me, and I don’t know
where to look. His dangerous gaze. His naked chest. That cloth that hides only
… <i>oh, mercy. </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“Girl genius,” he says, and I can hear the
smirk in his voice without even looking away from the suddenly interesting spot
on the floor. Then he shifts, and something changes in his voice when he says,
“Nell.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">A part of me likes hearing him say my name
entirely too much. And that part … is a fool. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“Still ignoring my request that you stay away?”
I ask stiffly.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“If you wanted me to stay away, you definitely
shouldn’t have worn <i>that</i>.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">A furious blush steals across my cheeks and
down my neck. “Dylan insisted I wear a costume, and this was all that was left
at the store.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“Thank God for Dylan, then. And for
procrastination. Can you do me a favor and say, ‘Hit me, baby, one more time?’
Pretty please?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Rather
than answering, I actually hit him. But when my palm makes contact with the
hard muscle of his shoulder, I wish I hadn’t. Because now that I know what his
bare skin feels like, I’m not sure I’ll be able to forget the sensation. My
brain is already cataloging the feel, comparing it to all the other people I’ve
touched, and coming up empty for comparison. Is it normal for him to feel so <i>warm</i>? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">It’s the alcohol, I decide. It must be. I read
something once about it dilating blood vessels and bringing warmer blood closer
to the surface of the skin. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Yes, that’s absolutely it. </span></div>

<i>*<b>WARNING</b>: This letter contains spoilers for All Broke Down. If you haven't yet read that book, read at your own peril. <b>SECOND WARNING</b>: this letter talks about fictional characters as if they are real people. Sorry I'm not sorry. <b>THIRD WARNING</b>: The letter below broaches a serious topic that could be a trigger for some people*</i></h3>
<br />
<br />
Hello beloved readers!<br />
<br />
The first person who read one of my Rusk University books was my older sister. I gave her All Lined Up when I finished, and her first question was "Are Ryan and Stella going to be together?"<br />
<br />
At the time, I told her no. I had plans for both of them that included their own storylines. I thought they were too much alike. They'd make great friends. They might even hook-up, but in the end... I couldn't envision anything serious for them. So I actually rewrote some of their scenes trying to make that aspect of their connection more obvious. And still, when All Lined Up released, amidst the chatter about sweet Carson and sassy Dallas, I had people asking if Stella and Ryan were next. I denied it again (and again and again).<br />
<br />
But sometimes in writing, the stars align and a character will become bigger and more real than you could have possibly imagined. It's a wonderful experience, but in Stella's case it was also incredibly heartbreaking. While I was writing All Broke Down, the news was inundated with information about the Steubenville rape trial and other tragedies and injustices like it. Tragedies where women have been violated first by an attacker, then by judgmental and hateful people, and finally by a justice system that repeatedly fails survivors of sexual assault. Having grown up in Texas, where too often football stars are treated like gods and can get away with just about anything, it hit particularly close to home. And since All Broke Down featured a passionate activist heroine, I felt compelled to reference this chronic dark underbelly of elite sports.<br />
<br />
I can remember vividly sitting on my couch, brainstorming how I would incorporate such an event into the book. I had thought the assault would happen to an unknown character, and maybe I would focus on the way it divided the team and the school and the town. But like I said... Sometimes a character will become bigger and more human than I anticipated. And it sounds crazy, but in my mind, I felt Stella push her way forward and say, "Mine. This is my story." I immediately began to cry. Sob, really. Because I loved her as a character. She was hilarious and strong and didn't take crap from anyone. She was everything I always hope to be. And I didn't want her to go through that. Even as I cried, my brain began to tell me that it made sense. Stella was vibrant and enjoyed a wild party. She was not afraid of her sexuality, and she had no problem with casual sex. She was the kind of girl that probably had a reputation. The kind of girl who could be heinously and violently taken advantage of, and people would STILL blame her. Because she was in the wrong place, wearing the wrong clothes, behaving in the wrong way. But just because it COULD happen to her, didn't mean I wanted it to. But once again, Stella was there in my head saying, "Someone needs to tell this story. And I'm strong enough to do it. Let me." And when Stella chose her story, she also chose the man I'd been adamant wasn't right for her. Because as it turns out... Those two characters who I thought were too alike aren't so alike anymore. And Stella needs Ryan to help her hold on to that vibrant and strong girl she was before.<br />
<br />
So I let go of all the plans I had for her, and allowed her to tell me her story, which is about more than just sexual assault. It's about the aftermath. Depression. Shame. Guilt. Anger. Injustice. Victim-blaming. Slut-shaming. It's about the way that kind of event can change everything-- how you relate to people, how you think, how you dream, how you love. It's about the way the rest of the world moves on to the next big tragedy, and you're still left holding the broken pieces of who you used to be, with no idea how to put them together again or even if you want to. It will be the most difficult story I ever tell. And the most important. Because it’s a story that belongs not just to Stella, but to millions of people around the world. It’s a story that belongs to a new person every 107 seconds*. And that’s just in the United States. Think about that for a moment. 107 seconds. Stella’s story won’t be any easier to read than it will be to write. But I hope you’ll help me drag this story into the light.<br />
<br />
So now I’ll step off my soapbox and just tell you about the book…<br />
<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>ALL CLOSED OFF:</b><br />
<br />
Stella Santos is fine.<br />
<br />
Maybe something terrible happened to her that she can’t even remember. And maybe it drives her crazy when her friends treat her like she’s on the verge of breaking because of it. Maybe it feels even worse when they do what she asks and pretend that it never happened at all. And maybe she’s been getting harassing emails and messages for months from people who don’t even know her, but hate her all the same.<br />
<br />
But none of that matters because she’s just <i>fine</i>.<br />
<br />
For Ryan Blake, Stella was always that girl. Vibrant and hilarious and beautiful. He wanted her as his best friend. His more than friends. His everything and anything that she would give him. Which these days is a whole lot of nothing. She gets angry when he’s there. Angry when he’s not there. Angry when he tries to talk and when he doesn’t.<br />
<br />
When Stella devises an unconventional art project for one of her classes all about exploring intimacy—between both friends and strangers—Ryan finds himself stepping in as guinea pig after one of her subjects bails. What was supposed to be an objective and artistic look at emotion and secrets and sex suddenly becomes much more personal. When he hits it off with another girl from the project, Stella will have to decide if she’s willing to do more than make art about intimacy. To keep him, she’ll have to open up and let herself be the one thing she swore she’d never be again.<br />
<br />
Vulnerable.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
*****</div>
<br />
ALL CLOSED OFF will be releasing sometime in early 2016. I don't have a date yet for several reasons. The first and most important, is that I want to do this story justice. And as such, I have no intentions of rushing the process. Secondly, I'll be returning to indie publishing for the remainder of the Rusk series. As you can probably tell, this story means a great deal to me. And by having the ultimate control over everything from timing to editing to price, I'll be able to ensure that I'm able to create exactly the story I envision. Unfortunately, that means you won't be seeing the paperback of ALL CLOSED OFF on the shelves in most stores. Nor is it currently available for pre-order. But I hope you'll <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23865291-untitled">add the book on goodreads</a>, follow me on social media, and/or <a href="http://eepurl.com/XeqJz">join my newsletter</a>. I promise to shout it all over the place when I have a set release date or pre-order links.<br />
<br />
Thank you for listening as I told you the evolution of Stella's story. When it's finished, I hope you will feel as passionately about it as I do.<br />
<br />
All my best,<br />
<br />

And an opportunity to add your voice to Stella’s…</h1>
Stella’s experience is only one story of many. She was with someone she trusted when it happened, and the only memories she has are pieced together from her own blurred recollections and the things people have told her. Not everyone’s experience with sexual assault is the same. Each person reacts, copes, and overcomes differently. And while this book is about one specific character’s journey, I would like to tell as many sides of this story as possible. As Stella grapples with her thoughts and emotions she’ll be searching for advice, for comfort, for a place where people understand her and can identify with what she’s experiencing. <b>There will be room for truth within the fiction, and if you’d like that truth to be yours, this is your chance.</b><br />
<br />
If you have a story like Stella’s, and you want your voice to be heard….<br />
<br />
If there’s something you wish more people understood about what you’ve gone through….<br />
<br />
If there’s something you’d like to tell people struggling with a story like yours…<br />
<br />
I’d like to give you the opportunity to add your voice to Stella’s. Use the hashtag <b><i>#WhenItHappened</i></b> and let your voice be heard on your own by posting on your own social media, or if you’d rather I share your words <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bKZD3JRn-NxqUmA5ngcGYJtw3j4ItRpEzGMNP99l0Ac/viewform?usp=send_form">fill out this google document</a> and tell me your story. <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bKZD3JRn-NxqUmA5ngcGYJtw3j4ItRpEzGMNP99l0Ac/viewform?usp=send_form">You can fill out this form anonymously or not.</a> I’d like to begin this discussion now because April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. But my hope is to include as many stories as possible within the book itself.<br />
<br />
So many have stories of <b><i>#WhenItHappened</i></b>. Your voice and your story deserve to be heard. I’m listening.<br />

Joshua Miles has spent his early twenties spinning his wheels. Working dead-end jobs and living at home has left him exhausted and uninspired, with little energy to pursue his passion for graphic art. <br />
<br />
Until he meets Gemma Henare, a vivacious out-of-towner<br />
from New Zealand. <br />
<br />
What begins as a one-night stand soon becomes a turning point for Josh. He can’t get Gemma out of his head, even after she has left for home, and finds himself throwing caution to the wind for the first time in his life.<br />
<br />
It’s not long before Josh is headed to New Zealand with only a backpack, some cash, and Gemma’s name to go on. But when he finally tracks her down, he finds his adventure is only just beginning. Equally infatuated, Gemma leads him on a whirlwind tour across the beautiful country, opening Josh up to life, lust, love, and all the messy heartache in between. Because, when love drags you somewhere, it might never let go—even when you know you have to say goodbye.<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<blockquote>
<br />
“Gemma,” I whisper softly. Before I know what I’m doing, I’m raising her palm to my lips and kissing along her scar. She smells so good, feels even better.<br />
<br />
She lets me do it for a moment then she awkwardly clears her throat.<br />
<br />
Don’t make me let go, I think. Please don’t make me let go.<br />
<br />
The rustle in the bushes is back again. Gemma jerks her hand away, as if we’re about to be caught by Nick the Peeping Tom, as if we’re doing something wrong.<br />
<br />
Are we doing something wrong?<br />
<br />
Suddenly the air around us fills with squeals, and the rustling increases. The nearest bush to us at the base of the yard, near the fence, starts to move back and forth.<br />
<br />
<br />
I stand up out of my chair to get a better look and see what looks to be little creatures waddling out of the bushes and heading for the side of the house. Once they hit a patch of light coming from the house, I can see what they are.<br />
<br />
Little blue penguins.<br />
<br />
“What the fuck?” I say softly, feeling like my mind has just imploded. “What the hell are those?”<br />
<br />
“Little blue penguins,” she says proudly.<br />
<br />
I turn to her in disbelief. “Are you serious?” I thought I was making that up. In my head.<br />
<br />
She nods. “Yup. Little blue penguins.” <br />
<br />
And she’s right. They’re about a foot high, miniature versions of the ones I’ve seen on TV, and they’re entirely blue in color. I thought it was just the darkness playing tricks on me but no, once they hit the light, you can see the color on their oily feathers.<br />
<br />
“I don’t get it,” I say, watching as the last of their group quickly scampers out of sight. That might have been the cutest and weirdest thing I have ever seen.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
“You never head of them?” she asks. “They probably have a burrow under the house. It’s actually quite common for beach houses.”<br />
<br />
“Look, I wasn’t lying when I said I didn’t do a whole lot of research about the country.”<br />
<br />
“I can see that,” she says. “Well, how about that, then.”<br />
<br />
“How about that,” I say, sitting back down. The penguins’ magical appearance has somehow taken Gemma’s heartbreaking story to another place, and she’s quick to jump on the transition. She tells me all about the interesting birdlife in New Zealand, from yellow-eyed penguins on the Otago Peninsula down south, to the Kea—cheeky green parrots that live in the snow-covered Alps. She’s animated as she tells me all she knows, and I absorb it like a sponge. <br />
<br />
I drink my beer and she goes back to drinking hers, and before Nick, Amber, and the Irish show up all sloshed, she’s painted a beautiful picture of what’s to come. I can only hope I’ll continue to be part of the picture.</blockquote>

<span id="freeText15663526272478879015">Warning: Sleeping with a friend might change your life forever.<br /><br />Sleeping
with Kyle was never in the plans. Pretending to be his girlfriend was
one thing, but letting our relationship become anything but platonic was
another. The problem with mixing friendship with sex is that inevitably
feelings get involved, and when that happens there's no turning back.<br /><br />When
Kyle's life fell apart around him, I needed to help, but doing that
meant opening myself up to the most terrifying thing in the
world—falling in love.</span>

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“You already know I’m screwed up.
That secret got out of the bag when I invited you here.” There was something
freeing about that. I didn’t have to pretend to be put together for her
anymore. Like it or hate it, she now had a hint at how messed up my life was. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Not any more screwed up than me.”
She <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>smiled slightly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I guess we’re a lot alike then.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I guess so.” She gazed out at a
spot somewhere in the distance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“What are you looking at?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Nothing. Just looking.” A tear
slid down her face.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Without thinking I wiped away the
tear.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
She turned to me with her wide
brown eyes, and I didn’t think. I leaned in and brushed my lips against hers. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Her lips were soft and welcoming,
and a single touch wasn’t enough. I started to move my lips against hers, and
she responded, giving me all the encouragement I needed to deepen the kiss. She
eagerly welcomed me into her mouth, letting me explore every corner as her
hands twisted in my hair. I wrapped my arms around her, needing her closer than
she could ever be. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
I couldn’t get enough of her taste,
half sweet and half a minty flavor lingering from her toothpaste. Her body felt
so warm pressed against mine. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
Finally we broke the kiss.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
She stumbled back out of my arms.
“Wow.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“My thoughts exactly.” I was
probably grinning like an idiot.<span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I can’t believe we did that.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I can. I’ve wanted to for a long
time.” It was even better than I expected. She was so responsive, and there was
none of the usual first kiss awkwardness that could sometimes ruin the moment. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“So have I.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“There’s only one problem though.”
I looked right into her eyes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“And what problem is that?” She
raked her teeth over her bottom lip. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I want to do it again.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Then do it.” She started into my
eyes intently. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Ok then.” I leaned in. She didn’t
need to tell me twice.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span> </div>

I can't wait to read "The Hazards of Sleeping with a Friend" and tell you all about it! I've read authors who have written the whole friends with benefits turns into romance, but Alyssa's <i>Hazards</i> series caught my attention. It's innocent, but quickly turns into a stomach flipping, anxiety inducing romance. Stay tuned for my review! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
When slavers steal Juhan and his twin sister Chosi from
their home planet of psychics, their only comfort is in the fact that they’re
together. When they are separated at auction, Juhan swears to find his sister,
no matter the cost.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Juhan is bought by the spoiled daughter of a political
scion. Caught in her glittering world of intrigue and politics, Juhan is
startled to find Sadi playing a long game to change intergalactic politics and
Juhan is merely a pawn in her game. But as his vow and Sadi's lies takes them
across galaxies, he begins to wonder if his young owner is more than an
arrogant rich girl. And he has to consider the cost of his promise—especially
when people they both care for begin to die.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A galaxy away, Chosi is sold into blood sport. With her
psychic ability, she earns a precarious position of value within the gladiator
school, training the draken—wild creatures of smoke and fire—for the arena. In
the midst of that hell, she forges a friendship with the slave Jemes and the
draken she cares for. But when her defiance comes with devastating results,
Chosi contemplates suicide as an escape from her chains. Yet, she can't forget
the brother who promised to find her, and even as she welcomes the risk of
death, she clings to that promise. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Spun across space and exotic worlds, Juhan and Chosi try to
find each other, and home in a stunning story about the lengths love will take
you. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">They--I don't know who they is, but THEY--say write what you
know. but they got it wrong. What I know is everyday small town America. It's
babies and softball practice and excel spreadsheets and late late nights. And
while there is nothing wrong with what I know--in fact, I rather like it, it's
certainly not where this book came from.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="line-height: 20pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">They also say write what you want to read. And that? That I
did do. I remember--vividly--the day I started writing Gentle Chains. I wanted
a scifi because I'd been watching my husband play a video game but I wanted, at
the heart of this epic story, something simple. The love of siblings. The
length you would go for them.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="line-height: 20pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">It was midafternoon, I was sitting on the porch of a house I
no longer live in listening to my daughters (I only had two then) play with our
dog while I looked for this book. And when I couldn't find anything like
that--I started writing.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>
<div class="FreeForm" style="line-height: 20pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I love all of my books. From college professors and their
TAs, to boys who never grew up chasing the girl who got away to the zombie
apocalypse and every dark twisted tale in between. I love them all. But I have
never written a book that was more "what I wanted to read" than the
story of Juhan and Chosi and every bit of hell and happiness they went through.
I won't lie. It's incredibly special to me because of that. And I hope that you
love it as much as I do.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<br />
Imagine the worst day of your life. Immerse yourself in the details. How did you feel? Who were you with? What were the consequences?<br />
<br />
Recalling my darkest day is as simple as typing a few search terms into a web browser. It only took thirty minutes for me to become the center of a media frenzy that caught the attention of an entire country.<br />
<br />
So I hid.<br />
<br />
Nine months later and I'm getting better. Moved two hours from home, landed my dream job, and met a delicious new guy.<br />
<br />
Healing is that simple, right?<br />
<br />
Wrong.</blockquote>

<br />
I know what you’re thinking. It’s unconventional to want a man nine years older than you. It’s inconvenient to crush on your dearest friend’s older brother. It’s silly to pine after a man for six years. It’s cliché to lust after a celebrity. It’s pathetic to fall in love with a man who barely knows you exist.<br />
<br />
I know what you’re thinking because I’ve thought it all, too. And yet that hasn’t stopped me from wanting Blake Campbell. Charming, gorgeous, brilliant, kind, selfless – Blake is everything I’ve ever wanted, but he doesn’t see me that way. In fact, he hardly noticed me until one night.<br />
<br />
Traumatic events brought us together for the first time, but then he tossed me aside. I know it’s irrational, but I wanted him up until the moment he left me lying there alone.<br />
<br />
When his eyes finally open and he finds out I’ve left, will it be too late?</blockquote>

<br />
A shriek escapes from my lips as I teeter preciously on the wood chair and my hands lose their grip on the white doorframe. The rubber of my flip flop doesn’t provide much traction and my body pitches sideways. In just a second I’ll crash against the deck floor and I’ll spend the summer recovering physically instead of gaining back my old–<br />
<br />
Sturdy muscular arms slide around my waist and yank me against an equally firm chest. “Woah, there. I didn’t mean to scare you.” The masculine voice has a smile behind it.<br />
<br />
“Probably shouldn’t go sneaking up on someone then,” I mutter once I catch my breath and untangle myself from his grasp. He chuckles at my retort, a rich baritone that makes me feel like shivering.<br />
<br />
When I’m a step or two back I’m nearly breathless again, but this time for completely different reasons.<br />
<br />
Sturdy was one way to describe his muscular grasp, but now that I have a full frontal view of him, I see my mistake. He’s <i>perfect</i>. Thick arms with nicely defined muscles that don’t bulge too aggressively beneath his white T-shirt, a broad chest, trim waist with low riding blue exercise shorts. And that’s just his body. Bright white teeth gleam at me from behind a broad smile. Thick, dark curly hair begs to have fingers run through it and he has coffee colored eyes framed by long lashes most girls want desperately.<br />
<br />
He’s a combination of sultry sex appeal and mischievous intentions as displayed by the twist of his lips. Less than one minute in his presence and I’m practically swooning.<br />
<br />
“Who are you?” I blurt out.<br />
<br />
With a smirk, he crosses his arms across the planes of chest. “Shouldn’t I be asking the questions, Ms. Breaking and Entering?”</blockquote>

You spend your life making decisions and dealing with the consequences, whether they are positive or negative. In my tumultuous frame of mind, I make a choice. A very poorly thought out choice, but one that I have to live with, nevertheless.<br />
<br />
As soon as Cassidy finishes her encore, I tell the girls that we’re going backstage to meet the singer. They follow behind the private elevator to the lower level of the Chi Center, talking giddily. I push their voices out of my mind, leading them with long, purposeful strides.<br />
<br />
There are perks to owning the joint. The security guards clear the way for me, knowing not to bother me when I’m in a foul mood.<br />
With a short knock, I push my way into Cassidy’s crowded backstage room. The moment she lays her fake-eyelash covered gaze on me, she squeals. The sound hurts my ears, but I pretend it doesn’t.<br />
<br />
“Blake Campbell, I didn’t know you were coming back here!” She literally launches herself at me, latching her over tanned arms around my neck and thrusting her glitter-speckled tits against my chest.<br />
<br />
And then, in plain sight of Stella, I yank the pop star into my arms and thrust my tongue down her throat.<br />
<br />
<i>You are a moron.</i></blockquote>

<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We are about to open the conference room door and enter the hallway when he stops. He turns to me, his lovely eyes achingly sincere. “I want to take you on a date when all of this craziness is over. A real one. We’ve kind of gone about this all backwards, haven’t we?” </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
One corner of my mouth lifts up. “Are you saying you’d like to court me?” </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
There is no playfulness to his face, no quirk to his own lips. My heart flutters at his seriousness. “Yes.” </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He wants to court me. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Too many emotions rush around in a caucus race throughout my body. I have no doubts of Huckleberry Finn Van Brunt’s feelings toward me. I understood them two minutes ago just as well as I did this morning when I woke up and from the night before and from the day in Wonderland where he said, in not so many words, that he was falling in love with me. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I told him he was my north star, and meant it. He countered we are binaries. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He and I . . . We’ve never said those words, though, not the ones that truly spell out fragile, deep secrets of a heart and soul. Words so easily and yet unfortunately uttered by many, be it to express their appreciation of fried bits of potatoes to sports teams on the television. Words offered so frivolously about a variety of subjects and yet can be the most difficult, most painful, most meaningful, most cherished syllables we gift another person. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I have said these words before, to another man. Another man I still love. One I know, in the deepest confines of my heart, that I will love until the last breath escapes my body. A man who courted me in secret and then publicly in the face of astonishment, disapproval, confusion, and, in the end, prophesies. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I have willingly given the man in front of me my heart, though, whether he knows it or not. He now holds it in his hands, and while I pray he is my future, there is still a part of me that bucks in conflicted confusion and delight by this declaration of his. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>He wants to court me.</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
And yet, as sweet and romantic as such a gesture might be, I require no such formalities. My affections for Finn Van Brunt have already solidified into something real and wonderful and meaningful.</blockquote>

<b>ABOUT THE HIDDEN LIBRARY:</b><br />
<br />
<i>Sometimes, the rabbit hole is deeper than expected . . .<br />
<b><br />
</b></i>Alice Reeve and Finn Van Brunt have tumbled into a life of secrets. Some secrets they share, such as their employment by the clandestine organization known as The Collectors’ Society. Other secrets they carry within them, fighting to keep buried the things that could change everything they think they know.<br />
<br />
On the hunt for an elusive villain who is hell-bent on destroying legacies, Alice, Finn, and the rest of the Society are desperate to unravel the mysteries surrounding them. But the farther they spiral down this rabbit hole, the deeper they fall into secrets that will test their loyalties and pit them against enemies both new and old.<br />
<br />
Secrets, they come to find, can reveal the deadliest of truths.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Houston Cavanaugh.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The first boy I ever loved. And <i>boy</i>, did I love him a long time. I loved him until he was a man. I loved him until he loved me back. At least, I <i>thought</i> he loved me.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
His eyes narrow and he appears confused for a moment. “Jamie?”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
My heart drops to my feet.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He doesn’t even remember me.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“No,” I say with far too much emotion.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Oh, my God. I’m sorry. I... I know you.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I clutch my chest, unable to breathe. Then his eyes widen with what can only be described as pure terror.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Rory? Aurora?”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I let out a sharp puff of air. “Yeah.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
His lips are still moving. I want to hear what he’s saying, but my thoughts are pounding in time with my heart. Images flash in my mind: our bodies tangled in his sheets; the breakfast bar littered with sticky shot glasses and empty beer bottles; my empty dorm.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Rory?”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I blink a few times to focus on his face and he looks at the floor, as if the weight of our history is pulling his head down.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I’m sorry. Maybe I should come back later.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“What? No!”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He looks up, startled by my outburst.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I mean, you came to talk about the contract, so... let’s talk. I’m...” I nod toward the chair for him to sit down, then I close the office door behind him. “I’m sorry for spacing out. I was just a little surprised to see you.” I take a seat in Jamie’s chair and yelp as it begins to tip backward. “Shit!”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Houston laughs as I scoot forward and lean my elbows on the desk, hoping he doesn’t notice how the sound of his laughter makes the hairs on my arms stand up.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Sorry. Obviously, I don’t sit on this side of the desk very often, but Jamie didn’t want to reschedule this appointment. She should be here shortly.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“You don’t need to apologize.” The left corner of his mouth pulls up in his signature half smile and I grit my teeth against the surge of emotions welling up inside me. “I’m actually kind of glad we ran into each other.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Really? You hardly remembered me a minute ago.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
He chuckles again. “Yeah, sorry about that. I was just surprised.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I can’t argue with this when I just used the same excuse. But it’s no more true coming from his lips than it is from mine. We’re not <i>surprised</i> to see each other. We’re <i>terrified</i>.</blockquote>

<br />
Maybe we shouldn’t have fallen so fast and so willingly.<br />
<br />
Maybe we shouldn’t have moved in together before we went on our first date. Maybe we should have given our wounds time to heal before we tore each other to shreds.<br />
<br />
Maybe we should have never been together.<br />
<br />
Houston has kept a devastating secret from Rory since the day he took her into his home. But the tragic circumstances that brought them together left wounds too deep to heal.<br />
<br />
Five years after the breakup, Houston and Rory are thrust together by forces beyond their control. And all the resentments and passion return with more intensity than ever.<br />
<br />
Once again, Houston is left with a choice between the truth and the only girl he’s ever loved.<br />
<br />
<b><i>The Way We Fall</i></b><i> is the first book in </i><b><i>The Story of Us</i></b><i> series, which follows the tumultuous love story of Rory and Houston. The sequel, </i><b><i>The Way We Break</i></b><i>, will be released Spring 2015.</i><br />

<i>New York Times </i>and<i> USA Today</i> bestselling author Cassia Leo loves her coffee, chocolate, and margaritas with salt. When she’s not writing, she spends way too much time watching old reruns of <i>Friends</i> and <i>Sex and the City</i>. When she’s not watching reruns, she’s usually enjoying the California sunshine or reading – sometimes both.<br />

Let me tell you about this book!<br />
<br />
What started off slow and rocky ended with a bang! (That is why I always give a book at least 40 pages.)<br />
<br />
Rory (Aurora) is a 20-something college graduate finding her way in the world when she bumps into Houston, her deceased best friend's brother and ex-boyfriend from five years ago. Now, married and running his own micro-brewery he attempts to reconnect with Rory. As their relationship develops, the darkness in their pasts unfold and we realize the two of them left a lot unsaid. As Houston's marriage deteriorates, the two begin to fall back into familiar patterns.<br />
<br />
The characters in this book are not your typical clear conscious hero's. In fact, they shamelessly display some of most frightening and horrific sides of human nature and it is delicious! Who wants their heroine to have self-respect and a clear sense of right and wrong? Not me! The characters are interesting and volatile and will entrap my imagination for days to come. I give the author a standing ovation for the bravery and talent it took to write character's who are relatable, morally corrupt, a little psychologically unstable and still leave the reader wanting more. <br />
<br />
Please, just let me tell you the ending to this book is AMAZING! I don't know what this statement will say about me, but when you read books involving a romantic reconnection, you do not expect this ending! This is why I loved it! Cassia Leo has gotten my attention in the world of emerging authors and I hope I've gotten yours to read this book!</div>

<b>Book #3<br />Releasing: February 18, 2015<br />Can be read as a stand-alone.</b></div>
<br />
Love means fading out so another shines brighter. <br />
Right clothes. Right school. Right fiancé. As a Wyndemere, Arian's expected to abide by the rules. The most important: be perfect. But Arian's seemingly flawless life is far from it. An embarrassing expulsion from her parents' alma mater spirals an already unhealthy obsession out of control, exposing a dark truth.<br />
Faced with having to attend a small private college after a stint in rehab, Arian's just ready to coast under the radar and repair some of the wreckage, but her father's looming control is like a vise choking off her air supply.<br />
When a run-in with Braxton's beloved star quarterback, Ryder Nash, puts Arian squarely in the crosshairs of his devoted teammates, the last of her controlled, orderly world unhinges. As the pranks and paybacks escalate, Arian and Ryder's rivalry takes a passionate turn. And once Arian glimpses beneath the all-star-athlete exterior Ryder projects, she realizes he's far more than just a jock.<br />
As their relationship intensifies, outside forces feel the threat. Outrunning their pasts doesn't mean history won't repeat itself, but Ryder can't let that happen. He's just one Championship game away from breaking the mold. Only one moment, one choice, might change everything.<br />

So, I love romance books...can you tell!? I especially enjoy romance books that have characters with lots and lots of flaws. This book has a heroine and hero both epically flawed from the beginning. Arian, our heroine, looks for approval in others, more specifically her family; and Ryder, our hero, takes responsibility for his brother's mistakes and is living a life he never wanted. Both are so consumed with their own problems, finding one another is almost like a relief. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Having another person in your life can mess things up, but with these
two it's a reprieve from the pressure of their daily lives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Most of all, I enjoyed the efforts by Trisha Wolfe to expand the book into the darkness that sometimes can consume us all. Towards the end, I wish I was able to follow Arian more than Ryder. Throughout the book we are made aware of Arain's struggles, but she consistently pulls herself together. What made this time different? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I would recommend this book to anyone who reads Monica Murphy or K.A. Tucker. FADING OUT includes the ugliness of life with self-discovery and the joy of finding someone who lets you be yourself. </div>

<br />
Pressing the boundaries of both the psyche and the heart, Sam and Holden embark on a dangerous journey that will test the limits of love.<br />
Sam Wintry’s life used to be almost perfect. She was engaged to her childhood best friend and high school sweetheart, Tyler Marks, planning an amazing cross-country honeymoon during her college break. But after a hit-and-run leaves her in ruin, she begins seeing Tyler’s fractured, ghostly presence, and her family believes she’s losing her mind. Not until she completes their journey, stopping along the way to scatter Tyler's remains, will Tyler be able cross over. Only...is Sam ready for him to leave her?<br />
When the black sheep of the Marks' family, Holden Marks, returns to check on Tyler's case, Sam convinces him to give her his brother's ashes. Despite their shaky history, she needs him...plus, he owes it to Sam and his brother. What she doesn’t count on is Holden’s relentlessness to go on the trip. <br />
On the road, Holden realizes just how unhinged Sam has become. Dealing with her psychosis forces him to confront his dark past, making it harder to keep secrets hidden that should remain buried. Especially from Sam, the only woman he’s ever loved. And as Sam starts to unravel the truth, she begins to question if the brother she's unwillingly falling for again is in an even darker place than her.<br />

Sometimes you have to lose your way before finding the right track.<br />
The roar of a bike engine. The vibration between her thighs. The feel of cool darkness kissing her skin as she coasts along twisty back roads at night—Melody Lachlan lives for these things. Ever since Mel and her best friend Darla escaped their small, backwoods town, they’ve traveled the countryside in search of fast rides, tatted bikers, and good times.<br />
A self-proclaimed poet and lover of all things free, Mel views her life as one long bike ride—with pit stops along the way to numb the pain. But she never saw herself as a junkie. Party as hard as you ride. That’s her motto…until a tragic night steals her soul. Then she’s forced to delve below the surface, to where her demons rage.<br />
When she meets recovered drug addict Boone Randall, she’s more likely to deck him than kiss his dimple-adorable face. She doesn’t want his help; doesn’t want to own up to her part in that night. She just wants to do her time and keep her promise to her friend. Yet Boone challenges Mel, and soon she doesn’t mind sharing the road. Only when Boone’s own secret demons threaten their newfound, fragile security, Mel’s course becomes rocky, and she must decide if letting her well-worn track marks fade is worth finding a new path.<br />
Told from Dual point of view from Melody and Boone, this is a New Adult Contemporary Romance intended for readers seventeen years of age and older.<br />

<b>THE RETURN Excerpt:</b><br />
<br />
Shaking my head, I pivoted around and walked down the long hall to my dorm room. As I reached the door, the shiver was at the base of my spine again, dancing its way up until it traveled across my shoulders. My heart turned over heavily and I closed my eyes. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Twice in one day. Oh God. I’d never felt this more than once in any span of several days.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Swallowing hard, I wrapped my fingers around the doorknob, battling the urge to turn and scan the hall, because I knew no one would be there.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Dragging in a deep breath, I opened the door and stepped inside the room. My brows flew up, and I forgot about the feeling as I closed the door behind me. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Erin was sprawled on the floor, palms pressed down on a mat, her spandex-covered behind jutting up toward the sky. She turned her head, peering at me from under her armpit.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Her armpit. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“How in the world do you get your neck to bend like that without killing yourself?” I asked. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Skills, yo.” <br />
Erin did yoga and meditation religiously, saying it helped merge her yin and yang together or something. She’d once told me she had a hell of a mean streak, and contorting herself into painful-looking positions helped keep “good vibrations” around her. Which was strange, because I’d never seen Erin lose her temper in the two years I’d known her. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Erin unfolded herself from some kind of downward dog or upward pony and grinned at me. “Check under the bed.”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Curious, I dropped my bag and stepped over her legs. Bending down, I lifted the bedspread and my eyes grew to the size of saucers when I spotted the bottle. I snatched it up and clutched it to my chest as I whipped toward her. “José!”</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
Her grin spread into a smile. “The best boyfriend ever.”</blockquote>

<b>THE RETURN Synopsis:</b><br />
<br />
The Fates are cackling their bony asses off...<br />
<br />
It's been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they've given him have been violent and bloody--which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He's got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.<br />
<br />
Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy's deal might be, but it's a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.<br />
<br />
But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.<br />
<br />
Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.<br />
<br />

<br />
<i>The truth shall set you free.</i><br />
<br />
My name is Calla Price and I’m drowning.<br />
<br />
My new world is a dark, dark ocean and I’m being pulled under by secrets.<br />
<br />
Can I trust anyone? I don’t know anymore.<br />
<br />
The lies are spirals. They twist and turn, binding me with their thorns and serpentine tongues. And just when I think I have it figured out, everything is pulled out from under me.<br />
<br />
I’m entangled in the darkness.<br />
<br />
But the truth will set me free.<br />
<br />
It’s just ahead of me, so close I can touch it. But even though it shines and glimmers, it has glistening fangs and I know it will shred me.<br />
<br />
Are you scared?<br />
<br />
I am.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Excerpt:</b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Together, we float to the surface, still intertwined. We break through the top and I suck in a breath and Dare is staring into my eyes.<br />
<br />
There’s tension here, but not the bad kind. It’s the kind that ignites you, the kind that intoxicates you, the kind that once you taste it, you’ll crave for the rest of your life.<br />
<br />
I’ve forgotten that I was going to be careful, that I was going to reject him on every level.<br />
<br />
All I can remember, all I can focus on, is how very <i>alive</i> Dare DuBray is making me feel in this moment, how alive he <i>always </i>makes me feel.<br />
<br />
For a girl who has been surrounded by death her entire life, this is a very big deal.<br />
<br />
“I’m a little afraid of you,” I blurt honestly, and Dare still has his arms around me. Our treading water motions keep our legs rubbing together, the friction still there.<br />
<br />
Hot,<br />
<br />
Hot,<br />
<br />
Hotter.<br />
<br />
Dare smiles, but there is no humor in it.<br />
<br />
“Good.”<br />
<br />
“Why?”<br />
<br />
My honesty makes me seem innocent, but I don’t know how to play games. I have no experience with the opposite sex at all.<br />
<br />
“Because that makes you feel something.”<br />
<br />
But he’s hesitant now and he looks away. There’s something he wants to say, it’s balanced on the tip of his tongue, but he swallows it.<br />
<br />
“What is it?” I ask softly. “Just tell me.”<br />
<br />
He wants to, I can tell. His secrets are killing him. He just wants to be normal, he’s just acting out a role.<br />
<br />
I don’t know why I feel like I know this. It’s just there, suddenly resting on my heart.<br />
<br />
“You don’t have to be someone you’re not,” I murmur quietly. His dark eyes snap up to mine and he pulls his hands away. There’s something in his eyes now, something guarded, and our easy afternoon has come to an end.<br />
<br />
“What makes you think I am?” he snaps. “Pretending to be something I’m not, I mean.”<br />
<br />
I’ve somehow annoyed him, and I don’t answer because I don’t know what to say.<br />
<br />
“I’m not being someone I’m not, Calla,” he says coolly as he strides from the water. “I’m being who you need me to be.”<br />
<br />
I’m utterly confused, and I’m dripping wet.<br />
<br />
“We don’t have towels,” is all he says when I follow him. My clothing soaks up the water and it is a very cold ride back home.<br />
<br />
Dare doesn’t say another word and I leave him in the garage.<br />
<br />
I don’t see him at dinner, and I don’t see him the rest of the night.<br />
<br />
But as I lay in bed around midnight, I see his car leave the garage.<br />
<br />
I don’t see him come home, and I’m awake for half the night waiting.<br />
<br />
I have no idea where he goes when he slips away.<br />
<br />
Somehow, I think he wants it that way.<br />
<br />
<i>There’s a fork in the road and even though I see it, I can’t avoid it. </i><br />
<br />
<i>One road goes left, one goes right, and neither of them end well. </i><br />
<br />
<i>I feel it in my bones,</i><br />
<br />
<i>In my bones, </i><br />
<br />
<i>In my bones.</i><br />
<br />
<i>I sing a song of nonsense, and it sings back. The notes echo and twist in the air, and I swallow them whole. </i><br />
<br />
<i>“Come out,” I call behind me, because I know they’re there. </i><br />
<br />
<i>I can’t see them, but they’re always watching. </i><br />
<br />
<i>Eyes appear, blood red, and they blink once, twice, three times. </i><br />
<br />
<i>“I can see you,” I announce and there’s a growl and then I’m crushed beneath the dark, beneath the weight, beneath the oppression. </i><br />
<br />
<i>“You don’t scare me,” I lie. </i><br />
<br />
<i>There’s savagery here, there’s grace. </i><br />
<br />
<i>But above all, there’s oblivion and no matter what I do, I will be sucked into it. </i><br />
<br />
<i>I know it. </i><br />
<br />
<i>I feel it. </i><br />
<br />
<i>I’m crazy. </i><br />
<br />
<i>And it doesn’t matter. </i><br />
<br />
<i>I’m the rabbitrabbitrabbit and I’ll never be free. </i></blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Acclaimed literary biographer Elizabeth Winston writes about long-dead heroes. So bad boy rock icon Zander Freedman couldn’t possibly tempt her to write his memoir. Except the man is a mass of fascinating contradictions - manipulative, honest, gifted, charismatic, morally ambiguous.<br />
<br />
In short, everything she sought in a biography subject. When in her life will she get another chance to work with a living legend? But saying yes to one temptation soon leads to another.<br />
<br />
Suddenly she’s having heated fantasies about her subject, fantasies this blue-eyed-devil is only too willing to stoke. She’d thought self-control was in her DNA, after all she grew up a minister’s daughter. She thought wrong.</div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #e06666;">Outside your comfort zone is the only place worth living...</span></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zander Freedman has been an outlier - many would say an outcast – for most of his life. But there’s no disaster he can’t overcome, from the break-up of his band to the fall-out on his reputation. His Resurrection Tour is shaping up to be his greatest triumph - if his golden voice holds out. Contracting a respected biographer is simply about creating more buzz; Elizabeth's integrity the key to consolidating his legacy as one of rock’s greats.<br />
<br />
All the damn woman has to do is write down what he tells her. Not make him think.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Or encourage the good guy struggling to get out. And certainly not to fall in love for the first time in his life.</div>
Turns out he is scared of something - being known.<br />

<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Turning a bad boy into a romance hero</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">By Karina Bliss</span></h2>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zander Freedman, the rock star hero of Rise, has been a minor character in three previous books. I wrote him as vain, selfish and egotistical, a neglectful son, bad brother and lousy boyfriend. And yet readers loved this guy and wanted his story, possibly because of his few attractive qualities - unflinching honesty, intelligence and a keen sense of irony. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of my biggest challenges in finding ‘the hero-within’ was Zander’s reputation for vanity. How is a reader going to fall in love with a guy rumoured to have had everything from Botox and tattooed eyeliner to hair implants? <br />
<br />
In one scene, I had the heroine’s family voice every Yuck the reader would have around a guy with a ‘beauty’ regime. And then fall over themselves when they thought Zander was visiting. Because the guy’s still a rock god, still extraordinary. And it’s too easy to criticize a stranger. In effect, I'm asking the reader to keep an open mind. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Given that Zander is smart and ambitious it also made sense that he would deliberately exaggerate his vanity for the press. Any publicity is good publicity when this showman is promoting the band’s tour. He also takes a pragmatist’s view of maintaining his looks; keeping in shape is simply a part of his job as Rage’s frontman. And finally, I made him supremely confident in his masculinity. At one point he even says, “A real man should be able to seduce a woman in a tutu and a tiara…Actually that would be fun.” <br />
<br />
Most importantly, I gave Zander the vulnerability attached to being a beautiful person. Women date me because of the way I look. What will happen if I stop these treatments? Who will love me as I age? The Beauty, as well as the Beast, is judged on appearances.<br />
<br />
Of course that’s just one aspect of the reinvention of Zander Freedman. Hopefully, I’ve intrigued you enough to read about his moral make-over. <br />

<br />
<br />
We begin by meeting Stella, our heroine, Blake, our hero, and Zoe, best friend to Stella and sister to Blake. While Stella secretly crushes on Blake, a gorgeous and famous ex-football player turned team owner, she promises herself she will never let her fantasies of Blake put her friendship with Zoe in jeopardy. Until one frightening day, Zoe's life is compromised and none of their relationships are ever the same.<br />
<br />
I would like to begin by dissecting the main characters. Stella is an only child of parents who own the family's city famous Italian restaurant, Baccino's. With lots of cousins, aunts, and uncles near by, this close knit group becomes the stereotypical loud, loving and protective Italian family. How this relationship translates into the story, is minimial.<br />
<br />
Before everything in the story complicates, they spend an evening eating a home cooked meal at her families home. It is here where Stella's omniscient mother is introduced to both Zoe and Blake and says, "Call me Teresa, you're family now." <br />
<br />
Cue all "Godfather" impressions... <br />
<br />
Having this strong family connection, illustrates the missing family of Blake and Zoe. Zoe's parents and Blake's mother die in a car accident and at young age, Blake assumes custody of Zoe. It is interesting to see the development of the characters as their past instincts take over in their personal relationships and slowly become their greatest weaknesses.<br />
<br />
This book is highly entertaining as each character has their "come to Jesus" moment and tries to repair their once treasured relationships. <br />

They say life is about choices. You spend your life making decisions and dealing with the consequences, whether they are positive or negative. In my tumultuous frame of mind, I make a choice. A very poorly thought out choice, but one that I have to live with, nevertheless.<br />
<br />
As soon as Cassidy finishes her encore, I tell the girls that we’re going backstage to meet the singer. They follow behind the private elevator to the lower level of the Chi Center, talking giddily. I push their voices out of my mind, leading them with long, purposeful strides.<br />
<br />
There are perks to owning the joint. The security guards clear the way for me, knowing not to bother me when I’m in a foul mood.<br />
<br />
With a short knock, I push my way into Cassidy’s crowded backstage room. The moment she lays her fake-eyelash covered gaze on me, she squeals. The sound hurts my ears, but I pretend it doesn’t.<br />
<br />
“Blake Campbell, I didn’t know you were coming back here!” She literally launches herself at me, latching her over tanned arms around my neck and thrusting her glitter-speckled tits against my chest.<br />
<br />
And then, in plain sight of Stella, I yank the pop star into my arms and thrust my tongue down her throat.<br />
<br />
You are a moron.<br />

"Stella, please wait." <br />
<br />
I know my heart is at risk. It's tottering on the edge of a cliff, and a stiff wind could send it over the edge. He has the power. To scar me. To break me. To destroy me. But the moment that he murmurs my name, I relinquish control.<br />
<br />
“Why?” I choke out. “Who are you? The nurturing big brother? The loving, compassionate guy I’ve come to know, or the conceited prick using me for my body? You know what; don’t answer that. I can’t do this anymore.”<br />
<br />
I take a few steps back. Heartache, my steady companion, reappears. Without the distraction of his touch, I’m reminded that it’s bitterly cold outside and a stark shudder rolls through my entire body.<br />
<br />
“You’re cold,” he mutters unhappily and shrugs off his suit jacket. Before I have a chance to argue, he drapes it around my back. Blake’s large hands settle on my upper arms and begin to rub vigorously.<br />
<br />
“Why does my temperature matter?” I ask the question to this collarbone, refusing to make eye contact with the man who continues to torment my emotions.<br />
<br />
“Stella –” there it is again, my name on his lips is tremendously distracting–“I want to start over with you.” Another shiver cascades through my shoulders and he makes a pained expression. With an arm anchoring me to his side, Blake leads me back through the door of the club and into the secluded hallway. I wrench out of his grip and put some much-needed distance between us.<br />
<br />
“Start over with what?”<br />
<br />
“A first date, we’ll need one of those.”<br />
<br />
“You’re not making any sense, Blake.”<br />
<br />
“It’s pretty simple. When a woman captures all a man’s attention, when she’s the only thing on this mind, he takes her on a date. Then another and another and another until he can convince her to be his.”<br />
<br />
The words make my body go rigid in disbelief and my heart slow in my chest. I let my eyes fall closed as I shake my head back and forth. “Don’t say things like that to me, Blake.”<br />
<br />
Even though I can’t see him, I sense him getting closer. Then his knuckles trail down my cheek in a whisper of a caress. “I won’t stop, Stella. This is going to happen and we’re going to do it right. That night last month… I don’t regret what happened between us because I wanted you.” His voice drops into a husky murmur.<br />

asking herself ever since the day she met David Whitman, her best friend
Renee’s boyfriend. Justine is determined to ignore her growing feelings
for the irresistibly charming David, until one night, when she finds

Our story starts with Justine retelling the high school memories of meeting and "falling in love" with her best friend Renee. The two are fast friends and go off to college together in Los Angeles. While living in Los Angeles, post graduation, we witness the dating disasters of Justine and Renee's new relationship with David. Unfortunately for Justine, she like David a little too much, and when Renee comes back from Boston and finds them in bed together... well that's where the story begins. Present day, post-David, both Renee and Justine are back in Boston and are friends again. However, Justine is suffering from a break up after a year long relationship with David. (Yes, that David!) Will Justine get her groove back?</div>

This story is fun and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed the voice and first person narration. <span style="font-size: large;">S</span>o often I've read books where using this style fell flat. However, in this book there were well developed and supporting characters to provide addition insight into the events and plot that the story was fully developed and multidimensional. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This novel had wonderful and nostalgic details about teenagers growing up in the 90's. The girly and rebellious teenage years of Renee and Justine add depth and character to this wonderful story of rediscovery. </div>

together, twenty-five year-old Renee flees sunny Los Angeles and her
dream job as a music journalist and returns to her hometown of Boston –
only to meet Dylan Cavallari, the mysterious, aspiring musician who
lives in her apartment building. Dylan’s piercing gaze and womanizing
demeanor make him exactly the type of guy that Renee should steer clear
of – which is most likely the reason she falls for him. But when Renee’s
troublesome ex comes back and threatens to drive her and Dylan apart,
Renee is forced to face her past and save her relationship with Dylan
before it's too late.<br /><br />Sound Bites dramatizes what happens when

on whether she can trust herself enough to make the right decisions.
Sound Bites is a novel about love, friendship, betrayal, forgiveness,
and the power of music to help you find your way.</span></div>

<br />
First person in her family to go to college? CHECK.<br />
Straight A’s? CHECK.<br />
On track to graduate early? CHECK.<br />
Social life? …..yeah, about that….<br />
<br />
With just a few weeks until she graduates, Antonella DeLuca’s beginning to worry that maybe she hasn’t had the full college experience. (Okay... Scratch that. She knows she hasn't had the full college experience).<br />
<br />
So Nell does what a smart, dedicated girl like herself does best. She makes a "to do" list of normal college activities.<br />
<br />
Item #1? Hook up with a jock.<br />
<br />
Rusk University wide receiver Mateo Torres practically wrote the playbook for normal college living. When he’s not on the field, he excels at partying, girls, and more partying. As long as he keeps things light and easy, it's impossible to get hurt... again. But something about the quiet, shy, sexy-as-hell Nell gets under his skin, and when he learns about her list, he makes it his mission to help her complete it.<br />
<br />
Torres is the definition of confident (And sexy. And wild), and he opens up a side of Nell that she's never known. But as they begin to check off each crazy, exciting, normal item, Nell finds that her frivolous list leads to something more serious than she bargained for. And while Torres is used to taking risks on the field, he has to decide if he's willing to take the chance when it's more than just a game.<br />
<br />
Together they will have to decide if what they have is just part of the experiment or a chance at something real.<br />
<br />

He needs her.<br />
<br />
He has to have her.<br />

She moved her head to one side. “I’m not a submissive. I don’t know the ins and outs of all that, but I know that’s not for me.”<br />
<br />
She was all business, and I liked that about her. She wasn’t doing all that lovey-dovey giggle shit.<br />
<br />
I relaxed my posture in my seat since she hadn’t said no. “I’m not asking for a submissive. We’ll both give each other what we need on equal ground. We’ll never do anything you are uncomfortable with.”<br />
<br />
She let my words absorb. My eyes kept going to her top. It was a low-scoop green silk shirt. The club was cold, and as she shifted, I could make out the faint outline of her nipples.<br />
<br />
Ainsley also relaxed her posture slightly as she leaned back in the chair. “And what do you need, Adam?”<br />
<br />
“To fuck you hard, countless times, to be buried so deep inside you while you scream in pleasure—that’s what I want out of this, Ainsley. Lust and sex, that’s it.” </blockquote>

<b>About the Author:</b><br />
Kristin Mayer is a wife, a proud mother, and a full-time Analyst and Import Manager. Since an early age, she has always enjoyed reading and writing. While visiting her father one weekend, he suggested that she should take up writing again. With family and a career, she didn’t give it a lot of thought, until a story entered her mind and wouldn’t leave. It just kept forming and developing over a couple of months.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of 2013, she decided to sit down and write it all down, but she kept it to herself. One sentence developed into two, and before she knew it, she had the makings of a novel.<br />
<br />
Kristin tries to live life to the fullest during every moment. She loves to travel and meet new people. She holds a degree in International Business and uses it daily in her job. Kristin now adds “author” on her list of jobs, and feels very blessed and thankful.<br />
