Cover Reveal - Fully Automatic (Bullet #4) by Jade C. Jamison

The Bullet Series by Jade C. Jamison rocks....literally!  If you like rock band drama, tortured heros and steamy romance with a beat  this series is for you.  Check out Fully Automatic (Bullet #4) except and synopsis.  



Title: Fully Automatic (Bullet #4)

Release: January 27, 2014

Author: Jade C. Jamison


 Synopsis:
You might think you know Brad’s story, but think again. There’s so much more to his story than what Valerie told. See Brad 
before Valerie came into his life and, when he was playing back burner to Ethan, see what Brad was up to when no one else in
the band was looking.
Valerie might have thought she and Brad were inevitable and maybe, in the back of his mind, Brad might have felt that way 
too, but he didn’t just sit around waiting for her. See the secret side of Brad that you had no idea existed. What kept the driving 
force behind Fully Automatic focused even while his heart was breaking?
Author Bio
Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado, moved from one city/town to the next, and she’s decided she likes it so much she wants to stay…although travel is not out of the question. She lives in a big town in Colorado (not unlike Winchester!) with her husband and four children. She is working on becoming a crazy cat lady. Okay, so maybe not. Still want more? Jade has a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Theater, a master’s degree in English, and a master of fine arts in Creative Writing. Obviously, she loves school and the student loan folks love her. She works in human services by day, teaches English and creative writing at night, and—in between playing soccer mom and community leader—writes like a fiend. Someday soon, she’ll narrow it down to just writing, but let’s get all those kids off to college first.

Excerpt from Fully Automatic
When Brad caught Nick outside the apartment after work, he asked him to take a walk. “How you feeling?”

 “What do you mean?”

 “Well, the past few weeks have been pretty emotional. You holding up okay, man?”

 “Yeah.” Nick shrugged. He was quiet for a little bit but then said,

Cover Reveal - Whisper To Me by Christina Lee

A few different friends have mentioned this series to me.  I think I am going to read Whisper To Me (Between Breaths #3) first. I could totally get into reading a stand alone romance book with a bad boy musician and a HEA.  Sign me up!  



Synopsis:
A hot and consuming New Adult romance about a wayward musician and the one girl who keeps him grounded…

At college, Rachel has a reputation for being a sarcastic flirt with a thing for star athletes. No one at school knows that she’d had her heart ripped to shreds by her high school sweetheart, who’d driven them both off the side of the road on a borrowed motorcycle, and then abandoned her. No one knows the real Rachel Mattson—except one person…

Ever since he helped nurse his sister’s feisty best friend back to health, pierced bass player Kai Nakos has been head over heels in love. But the supposed bad boy can’t risk letting Rachel know the truth—especially now that the two of them are back in their hometown for the summer, together for the first time since the months following that fateful night. Never mind that Rachel’s ex is back, groveling for her forgiveness.

Shaken by her ex’s return, Rachel finds herself turning to the one guy she knows she can trust. Kai is willing to hide his feelings for her, just to have Rachel touch him again. After all, this is only a temporary fling.  Until it becomes something more. But maybe it had been more all along.

****
Avery's story was first in All Of You, followed by Ella's story in Before You Break, which releases on February 18th, 2014.  Whisper To Me  releases on May 20th, 2014 and tells Rachel's story. All of the novels in The Between Breathsseries are stand-alones and have a HEA (happily-ever-after).

“Hot, sweet, emotional, page-turner, awesome.”—New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Monica Murphy

“Steamy, honest, and full of heart.” —Roni Loren, national bestselling author

“A study in sexual tension…Delicious.”—Heroes and Heartbreakers

Review and Blog Tour Giveaway - More Than Her by Jay McLean - 5 + Stars!

I write book reviews because of books like this. I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this writer and this series.  JMac is effin brilliant.  There is a cliffhanger and the book hangover I had been nursing was so monumental that I nicked named it the “McLeanover”. I will NEVER say what’s next…but here it goes. The cliffhanger was worth it. If this story wasn’t so spectacular and the writing so brilliant I probably would have been pissed off :) Book #3 is about to come out…I was lucky to read it.  5+ stars. One click this series now.  That is all. Xoxo – Cheri

AWESOME AUTHOR GIVEAWAY, REVIEW & EXCERPT



More Than Her (More Series Book #2) by Jay McLean
Publication Date: November 18, 2013
Published By: Jay Mclean


BLURB:
For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction."For every choice you make there are rewards,
or there are consequences. It was my choice to walk away the first time.And my choice to chase her the second. But sometimes you don't get a choice,and all you get are the consequences.” "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”Unless that someone is Logan Matthews.Because loving him didn't give me the strength to walk away. It didn't give me the courage to fight for him. And when it was over, all it gave me was a broken heart.

 ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Jay McLean is an author of Mature YA / New Adult contemporary novels. She enjoys reading and writing books that make people laugh, cry and swoon for dreamy book boyfriends. When not doing ether of those things, she can be found looking after her two little boys and trying to avoid house work at all
costs.

More Than Her (More, #2)More Than Her by Jay McLean
My rating: 5+ of 5 stars



Where do I start?  Jay McLean knocked it out of the park with her follow up to More Than This. I was scared to read this book since the first book blew me away.  More Than Her (Book #2) exceeded my expectations.

I will say that I was a little confused in the beginning from how she switched between past and present times.  Then out of nowhere it all came together.  I cried some big ugly tears.

I am at loss for words…as I don’t want to spoil this book for anyone.  I’ll top line it.  After Logan relentlessly pursues Amanda - she agrees to go out with him.  Amanda is in a pseudo long distance relationship with a guy named Ty who is away at school.  She agrees to go on a date with Logan and one night changes everything. Amanda falls for Logan and she breaks up with her longtime boyfriend to pursue a relationship with him.  They agree to go out the next day…but he never calls. Logan feel like he isn’t good enough for Amanda since and he might have feelings for his best friends girlfriend.  SHE IS HEART BROKEN. It turns out a bad summer got even worse for Amanda. Fast forward… Logan and Amanda are off at college and run into each.  Logan ends up moving in with Amanda and her twin brother.  Logan is known as the campus man whore but he wants a second chance with Amanda. He knows he royally effed up the first time with her.   Logan has a boat load of childhood issues he is dealing with along with his feelings for Amanda.  He wants Amanda more than anything in the world.  Logan seems like the perfect boyfriend. Are things too good to be true?

“Boys in books are not better. Not compared to Logan Matthew.  I love him.”

My heart was turned into sashimi. Just cut open and raw. I had a freaking heart attack while reading the last 15% of this book.  Arghhhhh. Holy effing hell.  I wanted to reach in my Kindle and drop kick my perfect book boyfriend.

I’m writing this review a few days later and I'm still torn up. Jay McLean sucked me into this story and its characters. Reading More Than Her took me on such an emotional journey.  I felt like I was reading Colleen Hoover book with the amount of emotional build up that was happening.  I found myself so emotionally invested in Amanda and Logan’s story.  Angst...you want some?  Jay McLean is going to serve it up and take you on a roller coaster of emotion and then BOOM…the end. Yes…there is a painful cliffhanger.  If this story wasn’t so spectacular and the writing so brilliant I would be pissed off.  I am still suffering from a McLeanover (book hangover from a Jay McLean cliffy) after reading More Than Her.  I know so many people hate cliff hangers…but the hell with it.  This book is worth it. The next book is on auto download.  I love Jay McLean - cliffhanger and all. I can’t wait to see where book three goes. Reading books like this is the very reason why I write reviews… WOWwww… Five+ stars. Absolute Kindle Crack.

"We're not even close to being done. I'm going to take you home and I'm going to fucking finish what I started. And when I'm done with you, you won't even remember what happened just now. All you'll remember is how I make you feel when you're screaming my name." He put his free hand on the small of my back, and that's how we stayed, with is arm wrapped around me, is fingers in my hair, my head on his chest, and my heart in his hands. Minutes went by before I felt his hand that was stroking my hair began to slow, and his breathing evened out. He'd fallen sleep. I lifted my head slowly, hoping not to wake him. And I looked at him. And I forget where I am, and how I got here. I forgot the storm outside, and all the memories associated with it. Because all I feel is him. I watched as is chest slowly rises and falls, his hair - that perfect mess, his lips slightly parted as is breath blew in and out. My gaze lingered on his lips longer than it should, but I don't kiss him. Instead, I lay my head back down and let his rhythmic breathing lull me into my own slumber. He kissed me once, softly. " I want to feel everywhere he's felt. I want to replace the memory of his touch with mine. I don't want a single part of your body to no know my hands, do you understand?" His voice was low, husky, filled with desire.  My eyes drifted shut at his words. A sound of agreement leaves my mouth. He started kissing my jaw. "Has he kissed you here?" he whispered, his words muffled. I nodded. His lips moved from my jaw and worked their way down to my neck, kissing, licking, and slightly sucking.

Cover Reveal and Amazon GC Giveaway - Incinterate by Tessa Teevan

I know I still need to read Ignite (Explosive Book #1) by Teesa Teevan.  The reviews have been amazing and it's been sitting on my Kindle.  Well this hot man-cover has pushed me over the edge. It's on!   Check out Tessa's new book in the Explosive series and enter to win one of 10 $10.00 Amazon gift cards.  

Title: Incinerate (Explosive, #2)
Author: Tessa Teevan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: February 18, 2014
Cover Design: Wicked by Design
Cover Model: Joshua Saari
Cover Photographer: Josh Norris
Goodreads Link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18243857-incinerate

Synopsis
When Knox Wellington opens the door to Charlie Davenport, he's not expecting the fiery brunette with whiskey colored eyes and a feisty personality. Sparks fly immediately, even though their initial meeting is nothing but hostile. Their chemistry is undeniable, but the chip on Knox's shoulder threatens to destroy any hope of him wooing the sweet, southern volunteer sent to help with his rehabilitation. 
Little does he know she's no Southern Belle, as she gives as good as she can take. As unexpected circumstances push them closer together, heads butt, patience is tested, and flames ignite as they dance around their mutual attraction, both of them jaded from broken pasts. 
They've both been burned before, so when their feelings of lust, desire, and wanting are inflamed in the heat of the moment, will they finally be able to get over the pain of the past or will their relationship be reduced to ashes before it can ever really begin?

Excerpt
“What’s the matter, Charlie? I promise, I won’t bite… unless you’re into that sort of thing.” He pauses, and I can feel my skin blush as his eyes wander down my body and then back up again where his eyes rest on my lips. “Because if so, then I most certainly do.”
“Whether you bite or not is none of my concern, and as far as what I’m into… that’s none of your business,” I say, a little too quickly, causing him to chuckle.
His eyes are hooded and he looks at me for a moment before responding.
“Don’t worry, sweetheart. You don’t have to tell me your deep, dark secrets today. We have plenty of time for that. But I won’t forget that you didn’t say no.” He winks, stepping back from me, as if he’s forcing me to come to him. I’m not some plaything he can mess with, so I just cross my arms and stare at him. A worthy adversary, he stands stoically in place, not moving, as if he could play this game all day.

About Tessa
I'm a twenty six year old book junkie who is also obsessed with sports. Bengals, Buckeyes, Reds are my teams! I work for the government during the day, hang out with Air National Guard on the weekends, and am married to a guy 15 inches taller than me. We're quite the pair! We currently live right outside of Dayton, OH with our two cats.
I've been reading since I was a kid. My mom was a librarian, so it was a given. Heck, she even made sure we watched Wishbone instead of the Smurfs. In 2011 when I graduated from college, my mom bought me a Nook, and then in the summer of 2012 I found this amazing site called Goodreads. I was introduced to so many amazing indie/self-published authors. After reading almost 400 books that year, my husband gave me the push to finally sit down and write my own. It was a rocky start, but over time the words started flowing and I couldn't get Jace and Lexi out of my head.
If I’m not writing or looking through tons of photos of hot men, all in the name of research, then you can probably find me curled up with my Kindle, ignoring the rest of the world. I love my sports almost as much as I love my books. My other obsessions include red wine, hot men, country music, and all things Grace Potter.

Worth the Fight, Book #1 (Each book a standalone)
Amazon | Barnes and Noble | Kobo | Smashwords

Synopsis:
Meet Liv Michaels
It may have been seven years, but I’d know him anywhere. Sure, he’s grown, filled out in all the right places, but his captivating blue eyes and cocky grin are exactly the way I remember. Even though I’d much rather forget.

Liv Michaels is almost there. She’s smart, determined and weeks away from landing the job she’s dreamed about for years. Time healed old wounds, even her broken heart from the devastation of being crushed by her first love.

Meet Vince Stone
Women love a fighter, especially a good one. Lucky for me, I’m damn good. But there’s one woman that isn’t interested. Not again, anyway. 

Vince ‘The Invincible’ Stone is every woman’s fantasy…strong, sexy, confident and completely in control. Growing up surrounded by chaos, he’s learned never to get too attached. Love will drag you down. He adores women, treats them well, puts their own needs before his own…for the night anyway. With the biggest fight of his life coming up, his focus should be on training.

When fate brings Vince & Liv back together again, there’s no denying the chemistry is still there. But can Vince erase the old scars their past left behind? Or will Liv hurt him instead?
