Blurb
Lea Lamb and Austin Wolf were young when they fell in love. They never imagined the future could hold anything other than together-forever.
When Lea’s father dies in a tragic fishing accident, she's crushed under the weight of her grief and catches a glimpse of another type of future, one she knows she's not strong enough to face.
Austin is angry. For the past fifteen years, he's believed the woman he loved with every ounce of his soul left him without so much as a backwards glance.
When Lea unexpectedly returns to their hometown, all the years of heartache inside Austin bubbles to the surface and presents itself as blinding rage.
Faced with the truth about the past, a newly discovered secret, these former lovers will learn that if they want to have any chance at the future they’d given up on all those years ago, they will have to rescue one another from drowning in pain so debilitating it will leave them both fighting to breathe.

My Review

What is there possibly left to say about Aurora Rose Reynolds that hasn't already been said.

Exceptional

You know the moment your waiting for your favorite TV show or the night before Christmas that feeling of excitement. This is the feeling i get when Aurora announces she's got a new book.

I could not wait to get my hands on Fighting To Breathe. I wanted to know what was so special about this book. And let me tell your this isn't just special it's exceptional.


You will be left Fighting to Breathe when you read this and just like all the other books by her you will be dazed once you have read it. Auroras books are additive they always leave you wanting more.

This book fantastic. I loved the characters. It's written in a way that pulls you in and the characters feel like people you have always know. You never have a problem seeing in your mind what she wants you to see, It's almost like watching a film play out.

I give this 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments





Excerpt
“CAN WE STOP by the liquor store on the way to dinner?” Mom asks from the passenger seat of my car.
“Should you be drinking?” I frown then turn onto the main road—well, really the only road in town.
“What’s it going to do, kill me?” she jokes, making me inhale a sharp breath. “Honey,” she says quietly, and I look at her briefly, wondering how the hell she can be so casual about this. “I’m dying. When it will happen, only the good Lord knows, but it is happening, and there is nothing you or I can do about it. I have made my peace with it, and I want you to do the same.” She reaches over to pat my thigh.
“Make peace with it?” I repeat, shaking my head in disbelief.
“Yes, make peace with it. If you think about it, I’m lucky. I know I’m going to die. I know that sooner rather than later God is going to come take me home, and when he does, I will be ready. I will have had a chance to say goodbye to the people I care about and right any wrongs I’ve caused. I’m lucky, honey.”
“What about me?” I wring my hands on the steering wheel, feeling my chest get tight as I fight back tears.
“I love you, honey. I loved you before you were even a sparkle in my eye, and I will always be with you. I know this isn’t easy for you. I know there are going to be a lot of tears shed, but we’re lucky, honey.”
I press my lips together to keep from saying something I might regret. I’m not lucky; in fact, I’m unlucky to the tenth power. How many people have I lost, how many people do I have to loose before it’s enough.
“Oh look! Sheryl!” She yells, pulling me from my thoughts as she reaches over, pressing the horn on my steering wheel while her other hand shoots across me so she can wave out my window. Looking to where she’s waving my heart begins to beat wildly
against my ribcage when I see not Sheryl, but Austin walking into one of the many bars that litter Main Street, only it’s not just Austin—it’s him and a woman with her arm wrapped around the back of his waist as he holds the door open for her.
Even from the distance separating us, my lungs compress at the beauty that is him. The years have been good to him. His hair is still shaggy, only now a little lighter; his face is tan and covered in a beard that makes his crystal blue eyes stand out even more. My eyes travel from his face to his torso, which is covered in a dark green thermal that shows off the muscles of his arms, chest, and tapered waist, then down to his denim-covered thighs. When my gaze sweeps back up, his eyes are on me, and I see them crinkle in confusion then realization that soon turns into anger.
“You missed the liquor store,” my mom complains as I speed up.

My Review

I have to admit that rock stars are usually my genre of book to read, I'm just not that fussed on them. I think think i have only read a few and one was good. 

BUT let me tell you if there is anyone who can change your mind about a genre of book its Nina Levine. I can honestly say I was hooked from the first page. This book blew me away. It contained everything we love hot book boyfriends in the form of Jet and his band mates, alpha males, angst, romance and so much more.

From the first book All Your Reason. I was hooked on Jet and Presley. It enthralled me. I don't think i could of read any quicker than what I did. And i eagerly awaited Be the one. 

Be The One was everything I hoped it would be and loads more. It is a good job I wasn't in public while reading it as i think people may of thought i was a bit strange with talking to a book, you know the ones....... Nooooo, omg, seriously!!!!

You need to add both of these books to your "TBR" list. 

I give both books 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments. 






*****************************
EXCERPT


I squeeze him and then drop to my knees to take him into my mouth. After I treat him to my mouth and tongue for a moment, I let him go and take him back into my hand. Looking up at him, I suggest, “That might be something I would let you boss me around on.”
His hands grab me under my arms and pull me up. He lifts me and turns around to deposit me on the vanity. After I’ve wrapped my legs around him, he kisses me hard and growls, “I did consider bossing you into sucking my dick for longer but it turns out I want inside of your pussy more than your mouth.”
“Turns out I want that, too. You gonna take care of that or are you all talk and no action?”
His eyes flash heat at me and he hisses. Running his finger over my lips, he says, “I’ve fucking missed this dirty mouth. I’m not sure what I like more – the words coming out of it or the way it fits perfectly around my cock.”
I dig my fingernails into his back and pull him closer. “I tell you what, you hurry up and get that cock of yours inside me and I’ll treat you to both words and tongue all day long.”
“Jesus fucking Christ, woman, I’m going to bang you so fucking hard you might not be able to speak for the rest of the day.” He positions his cock at my entrance and I try to push myself even further against him so I can force it in, but he’s teasing me and pulls away at the last moment.
“I’m game if you are,” I practically beg him. “Let’s see what you’ve got, Mr. Rockstar.”
His hungry eyes are all over me and it’s like a switch is flipped and he can’t hold back any longer. He thrusts in and my eyes roll back in my head. He wasn’t kidding when he said he was going to fuck me hard. Hard is what I just got. And I’m in fucking heaven.

When heartbreaker meets ball breaker, sparks will fly.

Rockstar, Jett Vaughn, isn’t against settling down, but no woman has ever held his attention long enough for a relationship to develop. That is until he meets Presley Hart. She’s confident, opinionated and headstrong. She drives him to the edge of crazy, but he can’t deny how she makes him feel.

He wants her heart, but she only wants his body. 

Presley’s not against giving her heart to a man, but she has too many reasons why he’s not the one to give it to. Jett isn’t a man who will take no for an answer though. He’s about to declare war on her reasons and take what he wants.

My Review 

I have to tell you when you read this book you have to read the others books first. And you HAVE to read them. From the first book Ledger you will be hooked. If you like alpha men these books are for you. If you are going to read them i would suggest making sure you have a few days free with no interruptions because you will mot want to be disrupted. 

I thought I know which way this book was going to go but let me tell you i was so wrong. I loved Shelby, and you will too when you read about her. The book pull you in from the first page and doesn't let go until the end. 

I got totally lost in this book and when it finished it was though i was seeing sunlight for the first time. This book is flawless. Its an amazing read and one you need to add to your bookshelf. 

I give this book 5/5 stars and 3/5 for movie moments. 


Excerpt #1

Well, there you have it. Shelby's in a corset. I simply shake my head, wondering what lies on the ladder-rung below this one. I've been watching her long before I needed to start surveillance, and I saw her step steadily down one tiny notch at a time since I was assigned her case those few months ago. Watching isn't stalking if I'm her assigned guardian angel, right? I shake my head at myself again. Since then, she's gone from sweet and almost virginal to coming to bars like a walking train wreck.

Mother of Two Boys...
My husband and I have been married for 17 years and are blessed with two amazing young men. They are 10 and 12 right now, and both are on very different parts of the autism spectrum. I’ve learned so much being their mom and I feel pretty lucky to have become part of a community of loving, understanding people.

If you’d like to meet my oldest son, watch Big Bang Theory and shake hands with Sheldon. Those two are so similar, straight down to the fake laugh when they recognize something is funny.

My youngest cannot be explained. He’s more of an experience, and a joyful one at that.

Romance Novelist...
I’ve always loved to write. I’ve written for newspapers and magazines, also a host of personal projects. Then in December of 2012 I was reading on my first Kindle, gobbling up romances left and right. That’s when I fell in love with Ethan Blackstone, by the way.

I was inspired to sit down and write. Less than one year later I’ve published three books, written another and its sequel novella, and started on two more. Another series popped into my head, as well. Now as of August of 2014, I’m on the verge of publishing book six, with at least five started or specifically planned. Since I’m sure I won’t update this bio for a long time, you’ll have to rely on my Facebook updates to know what’s going on with Kemmie Michaels romances. You can also subscribe to my newsletterfor releases, covers, sales, and other news.

Bookshelf Review - Bent Not Broken By Julia Goda




Displaying BentnotBroken_1.jpg

Title: Bent Not Broken
Series: A Cedar Creek Novel #1
Author: Julia Goda
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release: April 17, 2015


Blurb:

Life has taught Ivey Jones early on that with trust come pain and betrayal. Out of survival she has created walls around her to keep anyone from getting too close. Though she lives in her dream house in the Rocky Mountains and loves being the owner of the town's quirky little bookstore Serendipity, her life is narrow and governed by strict rules that she never deviates from…until Cal Bennett enters her life.

For the past nine years Calvin “Cal” Bennett has stayed away from Ivey, thinking she deserved better than to be saddled with a single dad who has never been good at relationships. Until a few chance encounters show him what he’s been missing and he can’t stay away any longer.

Little does he know he’s got a fight on his hands that he might not be equipped to win. Shadows from Ivey's past lurk in the dark, ready to strike and bring her low once and for all. But Cal swears he will do whatever it takes to break through that wall of steel to win Ivey’s heart and keep her safe.

My Review 

I have to tell you the saying " Don't judge a book by it's cover" is so true with this book. The cover didn't grab me, but when I read the blurb i was interested. Yet when i was reading the first two chapters my interest waned dramatically. But the you know the saying "sucker punched" OMG I could not put this book down. 

I loved the characters. I LOVED Cal. I think everyone needs a Cal. I loved Ivey. This is the book you forget its not real that you try to get involved by shouting at t he characters or shouting NOOOOOOO. This book was flawless. I cant wait to read more Cedar Creek books. 

This book was fantastic. It was entralling and the story beautifuly wrote you felt like you were part of the scenery. 

I give this book 5/5 stars and 3/5 for movie moments. 


Author Bio:

I have been writing stories in my head since I can remember. Much to my teachers’ dismay, given the task of writing a short essay I would always come back with way too long and detailed stories. Many discussions (I have always been somewhat of a smart-aleck) and bad grades were the result, so that for most of my life I thought I couldn’t write worth a damn and pursued other careers. But the dream of being an author wouldn’t be ignored and kept lingering. With a little help from my fantastic husband, who gave me the necessary kick in the behind, I was finally brave enough to start writing my first novel and finished it only a few short weeks later—well, the first draft, that is. The seal was broken.
My novels jump genres and touch on all kinds of different topics, but the things I try to focus on no matter what are romance, strong women, and a good sense of humor.
Now, when I’m not in my writing cave, spinning the tales that have been hounding me or editing (yes, I am also a professional editor, guess that degree in Literature and Linguistics turned out to be useful after all!), I enjoy reading, drinking coffee, eating good food, and listening to rock music.

Release Blitz - Flawed Heart By Bella Jewel




Title: Flawed Heart
Series: House of Obsidian #1
Author: Bella Jewel
 Release Date: June 22, 2015



Blurb


This isn’t the man I married. 
The man I married was strong, beautiful and pure. 
The man I married cherished our lives together. 
The man I married loved me. 

This…this isn’t that man.

One night. One accident. It changes everything.


I wish I could tell you the exact moment he fell out of love with me. 
I wish I could tell you there was hope. That I hung on. That I fought. 
I wish I could tell you that we fixed it. 
That happily ever after was just out of our grips.

It wasn’t. I ran. In the dead of the night, I packed my things and I left him.

Now I’m back. He’s still the same man. A deadly underground fighter for the House Of Obsidian. He’s still dangerous. He’s still broken. I still love him.

This is the part where I’m supposed to turn back around and run… But I don’t.





My Review 

I have to bow down to Bella Jewel, and say You are an exceptional author. If you have read any books by Bella Jewel you will know what I am talking about. She has the profound ability to enthrall you into the story.   

I was so excited to get my hands on this book, why, because I couldn't wait to see the next book Bella was going to enslave me to. And, OMG, excited is too tame a word for how i was whilst reading this book.  When I was reading I kept coming across things in the book that made me go oooh I wasn't expecting that. 

This book is a must read. It is the type of book that will make you loss a few hours and feel like you have been reading it for 10 mins and when you get to the end you are like " seriously already!!!!!" I cant wait for the next book. 

There is so much i want to tell you about this book, but my lips are sealed. you need to discover the beauty of it yourself.

Bella, another emotionally stunning and flawless book. You have a great exceptional talent. 

I give this 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments.
