Excerpt Liv’s POV 
Vinny slips on a pair of running shorts and reaches down to the 

floor, pulling up the panties I’m still searching for. “You looking for 

these?” He twirls my sad excuse for underwear around on his one 

finger with a devilish grin.

“Yes.” I reach out to grab them, but Vinny’s too quick. He folds 

them into one hand and hooks his arm around my waist, pulling me to 

him with the other.

“Stay. I’ll be back in less than two hours.”

“You want me to stay?”

Leaning down, his mouth close to my ear, he responds, “I want 

you in my bed waiting for me when I get back.” 

His words are kind, and I appreciate him offering them to me, but 

it’s not necessary. I’m a big girl, he doesn’t need to coddle me after a 

night of passion. “It’s okay.

Summary
A sexy, emotional New Adult romance about a bad boy on the edge and a good girl about to lose control...

A college baseball star isn't supposed to have skeletons in his closet. But Daniel Quinn is hiding a guilty past so dark he refuses to let anyone get close. Except there's something about gorgeous, studious Ella Abrams that goes beyond the electric attraction between them--something that makes him want to open up.

Ella has suffered enough heartache and guilt to fill one of her psychology textbooks, but she keeps that part of herself hidden behind a bubbly exterior. Until she receives an anonymous call while working a suicide helpline and the voice on the other end touches something inside of her that she can't ignore.

Soon Ella and Quinn's physical connection heats up, even as their deep and revealing hotline talks intensify. But by the time Ella realizes that her seductive jock and her sensitive caller are the same guy, it might be too late to save him--or to stop herself from falling too far...


Excerpt
At the theater, we bought popcorn, Milk Duds, and large sodas. After we settled in our seats in the crowded room, I opened the box of chocolate caramel confections and dumped them in the large tub.

“Um,” Quinn said, scratching his chin.

“Sweet and salty—it’s a must-have for movie watching.”

“Seriously?”

“Yes, seriously.” I picked up a Milk Dud, flanked it with two pieces of popcorn, and then brought it to his lips. “Here. I guarantee you’ll fall in love. You’ll never watch a movie without them again.”



“If you say so. . . .” He dragged the sweet and salty mixture into his mouth but kept my fingers enclosed between his lips. I held in a gasp while he ran his tongue over my thumb and then sucked on my forefinger before releasing my hand and chewing what remained.

“Agree,” he said around a mouthful of popcorn. “Wouldn’t want to be without them ever again.”

Quinn’s gaze latched on to mine. It felt like a bundle of feathers had been let loose in my stomach. “Guess you’ll have to come to every movie from now on. So I don’t forget.”

Speechless wasn’t even the word for what I felt in that moment. Dumbfounded might have been more like it, or maybe just struck stupid, because I couldn’t even move my lips to form any coherent words.

When the movie previews began, he turned toward the screen and reached for my fingers, interlacing our hands. Then he leaned close to my ear and said, “I expect you to feed me just like that the entire movie.”

Book Description:
In the past, I've always been given everything I've wanted, but nothing that I truly needed. I've experienced a lot of things in my twenty-five years, everything except the one thing I want. It's the one thing that can’t be bought. It can't even be taken, it has to be given. And nobody has ever given it to me, not really anyway.
Not until him.Music is the center of both our lives, but as he found his place in it, I lost my way. He soared, while I spiraled down a destructive path.I lost myself in more ways than I can count.The ironic thing is that I didn’t realize how lost I was until he found me. And now that he has, I have to wonder if he'll stay around long enough to catch me.

Catch Me by Claire Contreras
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC kindly provided by in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. HEA. Stand Alone. 4.50 stars.

I’m not going to regurgitate the synopsis…but I will top line it. Brooklyn lost so much.  She lost her best friend, she lost respect for her parents and she lost her way in life. Brooklyn bumps into Shea, her ex-boyfriend, and his producer while boarding a plane.  Shea is a hot rock star that Brooklyn has an on/off again and relationship with. Their relationship is complicated and borderline toxic. Brooklyn and Nick end up running into each and working together.  Sparks fly for Nick and Brooklyn.  She starts to slowly let Nick into her life…but is he just using her because she is the boss’s daughter?  Will Brooklyn let go of her past or will the past repeat itself?    Did fate bring them together?  Can Nick  Catch Brooklyn before she falls?

Catch Me is such an amazing second chance love story about letting go of the past to have a future. Claire Contreras is a phenomenal writer. She can craft a story with such skilled perfection.  Claire has such a way of creating characters and tapping into their emotions in a relatable manner.  This story deals with some heavy topics like addiction and depression but managed to be lighthearted and sexy.  There is a great mix of drama, steam and angst. The only part of the story I would have liked to have been developed more was the big reveal/realization with Nick at his parents house. It was such a pivotal part of the story and I felt like it was glossed over a bit. This story does not end in a cliffhanger…but I wonder if Shea will end up having his own story.  One click this book now…you won’t be disappointed.

Excerpt:
“Tell me again why we’ve done our last four beach trips here?” I said. “I mean, we know everyone in this goddamn town. Isn’t the point of a trip to get away? So we don’t have to see people?”
“Bailey, tone down the bitchiness, okay?” Erica ordered. She dug around the inside of her purse for her cell phone. 
“And you know why. Noah, God love him, is a moron with our kids. I’ve gotta stay close until they get older.”
I snorted, then took off towards another club.
“Bailey!” Erica called, running after me.
“I’m not ready to go back to the hotel,” I said, shrugging off her arm.
“That’s fine. We can hang out, but if you go dark on me . . .”
“Nobody’s going dark, okay? I just wanna get my dance on,” I replied.
I spent the rest of the evening getting wasted and looking like a total slut on the dance floor. My goal was to erase two recent painful memories: shaking my ass for Reece and seeing my ex-fiancé on a booty date. When Erica and I emerged from the club at 2:30 A.M., a taxi van was waiting. A group of young men (one carrying a case of beer) cut in front of us and threw open the van door.
“Oh, well,” Erica said. “Let’s find another.”
The boy toting the beer spotted us. “Oh, my bad. You wanted this taxi?”
“It’s cool,” Erica replied. “You guys take it. We’ll wait for another.”
“Well, I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t you come with us? We’re going to a film screening.”
The others nodded, shuffling around the sidewalk.
A film screening at 2:30 in the morning? Please. I shook my head. “Thanks, but we’re tired. We’re gonna go home.”
“Nah! Come with us. It’s gonna be a fun time,” Beer Boy pleaded.
“No no,” I replied. “You all go have a good time.”
He turned to his friend and muttered, “Fucking bitch.” A few of the boys snickered.
Excuse me?
And then something in my brain snapped. I watched that little college punk stand there, avoiding my face, gripping his bush-league beer while the taxi driver yelled at his punk ass posse to make a decision.
“Hey, son!” I called in his direction. “There’s no need for that. No need for that kind of language.”
He hung his head—literally hung his head—while I chastised him.
“Bailey, let’s go.” Erica tugged on my arm.
“Now, I’m sorry we turned you down, and I’m sorry if that embarrassed you, but maybe we don’t feel like ‘screening’ the bullshit home movie you shot for film class on your bullshit, cheap ass camcorder.”
“Oh my God,” Erica said.

Author Bio:
I must've been 5 or 6 when I started writing "stories".  I would write them and hide them. Not wanting anyone to see my "secret" thoughts. I needed to write - even back then.  Now I'm just not hiding them anymore.  Is that a sign of maturity? Writer, photographer, insatiable wanderluster, edge-player, foodie, music addict, pop culture fanatic, animal lover, warrior for the rights of people and planet, and
avid cusser (am a Native New Yorker, so very little offends me ... and if I am offended, it must be pretty freaking bad .. like bad grammar!). I am big believer in signs and if we keep ourselves open, there are guideposts all along the way. Stay humble. Be true. Be you.

Life is not a dress rehearsal ...

"Damn, it's cold in here!" Schooner grabbed Mia and pulled her close.

"Will be much better under the down blanket - naked." Mia said into his chest.

The now gale force winds were slamming her bedroom windows, chilling them

with each rattle, a fine snow had begun to fall and sounded like sand hitting the window

with each gust.

She started to unbutton his shirt and he took her hands, "Baby Girl, I'm getting

naked under the blanket. It's freaking freezing in here."

He pulled her toward the bed and lifted the down comforter.

"Afraid of shrinkage?" she teased, getting under the blanket next to him and

pulling off her clothes.

He pulled her underneath his now naked body. "This feel like shrinkage to you?"

He pressed his hard cock against her.

She threaded her fingers through his hair and pulled his lips to hers. "It feels like

Heaven to me."
