Come To Me Quietly Blog Tour!
Title: Come To Me Quietly (The Closer to You Series, Book 1)
Author: A.L. Jackson
Release Date: January 7, 2014
Genre: New Adult Romance
Blog Tour hosted by: Shh Moms Reading, Literary Mania Reviews, 
and Brandee’s Book Endings


From the acclaimed bestselling author of Lost to You and When We Collide comes a new adult novel of one woman’s obsession: a man who’s as passionate as he is elusive—and as tempting as he is trouble…

Aleena Moore is haunted by Jared Holt. It’s been six years since she’s seen her brother’s best friend, the self-destructive bad boy she secretly loved in high school. As the years pass, she knows it’s time to move on. Time to decide between a practical nursing degree and her true dream as an artist. Time to get over Jared and give another guy a chance…

Just when she opens her heart to her friend Gabe, Aly returns home to find Jared sleeping on her couch. The teenage boy she loved has grown into a man she can’t resist. 

Covered in tattoos and lost in rage, he’s begging to be saved from his demons—the memories of the day he destroyed his family. As the two reconnect, their passion is hot enough to torch Aly’s judgment. But can she risk her future for a man who lives on the edge of destruction?

Review of Come To Me Quietly
Come to Me Quietly (Closer to You, #1)Come to Me Quietly by A.L. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler- free review. 5+ stars!

There aren't many writers like A.L Jackson.  Only a handful of books could consume my heart and soul, and Come To Me Quietly is one of them.  If this book isn't on your list, add it or buy it now.

My spoiler-free mini review/synopsis: Aly has been in love with her brother’s best friend, Jared, since they were kids.  After a devastating incident for which Jared blames himself…he goes into self-destruct mode. Jared numbs his painful memories with booze and drugs…and creates a vendetta against his soul.  Fast-forward years later…Jared crosses paths with Aly and her brother and from there, Aly and Jared slowly build their relationship. He doesn’t feel worthy of her love…he is broken and stuck in this self-induced emotional purgatory. Aly is Jared’s light in all of his darkness.  Will he let her in and allow himself to love and be loved again?  

This book is “unputabledownable”.  CTMQ is  raw and loaded with angst, turmoil, love and is absolutely touching. A.L. Jackson made my heart melt from the firestorm of emotion she created on each and every page of this book.  There isn’t a full blown cliff hanger, but loose ends that will likely be tied up in book two Come To Me Softly. A.L. Jackson is on my auto download list and will read ANYTHING this woman writes. Come To Me Quietly is absolute Kindle Crack.

Excerpt
Aly took my hand again. “Come on, let’s find a good spot to watch the fireworks.” 

With her voice, I shoved off the images, turned and gently smiled at her, ignoring the 

guy whose gaze burned into the back of my head with outright hate. 

Instead I focused on her words that sounded so damned cute, like they used to when 

we’d run ahead of ourselves to find the best spot at the park. We used to get so close that 

we’d feel the fireworks rumble through our bodies, and we had to dodge the little pieces of 

paper ashes that flitted down from the sky. 

She led me to a lounger that sat out in the open on the grass. She pushed at my side 

and grinned. “Take a seat.” 

Quirking a brow, I smirked at her, but did as I was told. I sat sideways on it with my 

feet on the ground. Aly settled to the grass, and instinctively my knees parted to make room 

for her. Nestling between my legs, she shifted a bit to rest her head on the inside of my thigh. 

Then she released a breathy sigh as if this was the only place she wanted to be, murmuring, 

“I’m so glad you’re here, Jared.” 

Desire coursed over every inch of my skin and pooled in my stomach. There was 

nothing I could do to stop it, the way I hardened at her slightest touch, at the soft sound that 

fell from her mouth, at the smell of her hair that had become permanently ingrained in my 

mind

Synopsis:
Rachel Dennehy had a crazy thought. If she could just start over somewhere else, she could forget about her sad and tragic past and all the ghosts that chased her. When an email landed in her inbox, to tutor a difficult student whose father just happened to be the CEO of one of the biggest companies in the nation, the apple was a bit too enticing for Rachel to refuse. She moves from Texas to Beverly Hills, where she is tasked with turning around her wealthy pupil’s bad attitude. It is a bad attitude that stems almost entirely from his parents’ ugly divorce and even uglier custody battle. That her new boss Andrew, or Drew, Fullerton is one of the handsomest and most eligible bachelors in the world means nothing to Rachel. She has absolutely no plans to ever marry or have kids of her own. Her priority is teaching nine-year-old Jonathan, who needs her guidance and her direction and… most importantly… her friendship.Drew’s brother, Alex, however, assumes otherwise. He basically accuses her of being a gold-digging opportunist upon their first meeting. This sets the two immediately at odds, though they both have young Jonathan’s best interest at heart. Alex believes that Rachel is a “ringer,” a wholesome alternative to edge Jonathan’s socialite mother out of the running for custody, since she left Drew after her own salacious affair with a younger man. He wastes no time in telling Rachel that as long as she stays in her job, she will keep Jonathan from his real mother, and that is the driving force behind Drew’s interest. Unfortunately the more he tries to warn her away from Drew, the closer he ultimately propels her toward her charming boss. Drew never questions her motivation or her presence because Jonathan thrives under her tutelage, and Drew is beguiled by her no-nonsense attitude that challenges him from the start.Rachel navigates these choppy waters solely to protect Jonathan. She sees the adults in the family as self-serving; most of whom are far more interested in hurting each other than taking care of this fragile, vulnerable boy. Her heart traps her into this sticky web, despite her own history of loss and betrayal. How long will she last? More importantly, what will she be required to give to save these Fullerton men who continually tug her in three different directions? The saga begins with the first book, titled “Enticed,” due to release in early 2014. Author Ginger Voight returns to the dream-making landscape of Los Angeles, in a new tale that throws back the curtain on the dangerous power, appeal and excess of the privileged. Only by the time this tale is done, one principle character will pay the ultimate price as they all race toward that elusive happily ever after.

Review of Enticed by Ginger Voight
Enticed (Fullerton Family Saga, #1)Enticed by Ginger Voight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler- free review. Books 1&2 will be available on January 28th. Cliffhanger.4.75 - 5.00 stars.

The synopsis accurately describes what this story is about…so I’m not going to regurgitate it entirely. Rachel ends up falling for Drew (the hot CEO/business owner that hired her to home school his son).   She also becomes a pseudo step mom to Jonathan (her student.  She moves in and shakes up the household.  Rachel ends up filling two missing pieces of her broken heart…then her world shatters when she finds out why she was really hired. I loved Rachel. She isn’t an emotional doormat waiting to get walked on.  She’s strong, smart and independent. It’s hard to find heroines like this in so books these days.

I’m a huge fan of Ginger Voight and will read anything she writes.  I will say I really liked Enticed. The story was a little predictable -- but totally enjoyable. I am looking forward to reading book #2 on 1/28.  Book #2 will hopefully give us a HEA...because right now my heart hurts for Rachel.

Ginger Voight is prolific author, freelance writer and optioned screenwriter. Her fiction is diverse, with novels like the edgy, coming-of-age drama DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS, and the fun family adventure for kids of all ages, COMIC SQUAD.Having grown up reading different authors like Danielle Steel and Stephen King, Ginger has always been drawn more to story than to genre. This shows up in her various stories. Titles such as MY IMMORTAL and TASTE OF BLOOD are a delicious, heady mix of horror, suspense, and romance.Genre romance, however, has held a special place in her heart, ever since she read her first Harlequin novel when she was only eleven. As a result, Ginger is making a name for herself writing romances of her own, starring women who look more like the average American woman rather than those traditionally represented in the size-biased American media. Her Rubenesque romances were created especially for those heroines with fuller figures, who can still get the man of their dreams if only they believe they can. Such titles include UNDER TEXAS SKIES, LOVE PLUS ONE, THE GROUPIE TRILOGY, THE FIERCE TRILOGY and PICTURE POSTCARDS.Ginger was included in the best-selling book by Smith Magazine NOT QUITE WHAT I WAS PLANNING, featuring her six-word memoir.

Her finger trembles as she cocks the gun pointed at me. Her eyes are cold,
determined, but I know.
I know her.
My name is Devon Andre and I confess my sin. I am not a good man because this is
the woman I love.
She pulls the trigger.

Review of Vendetta:
VendettaVendetta by Autumn Karr
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.75-4 stars. ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review.

I enjoyed this modern day Romeo and Juliet inspired mafia story. After being kidnapped and held hostage at Devon’s family compound – Leighton and Devon fall for each other.  Can they get past deep rooted hatred that their families have for one another? Can these star crossed lovers find a way to make it work?  Vendetta had some great twists and turns that kept me interested.  Overall, I liked this captive/love story….but I didn’t feel the connection between the Devon/Leighton as much as I would have liked. Pretty good first book from the writing team of Autumn Karr.

Excerpt:
I shake my head, muttering another curse. I should have just left her there.
It's not like I have an overwhelming urge to play her knight in shining armor.
God knows she's not a damsel in distress. The woman is poison, like all the
Moores are. Unfortunately, despite what people think about me, I can't stand
men hitting women, and I'm sure as fuck George wouldn't have minded

in. I round the back, and open up the trunk, looking for something to bind her

Review of Wrecked on Kindle Crack Book Reviews
Wrecked (Wrecked, #1)Wrecked by Priscilla West
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.00 ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free. Cliffhanger.

The synopsis for this book describes this story perfectly.
Hunter is a sexy, tattooed campus man-whore and MMA cage fighter. He has a bad reputation and a past full of secrets. Lorrie is a wreck and a half after losing her family.  Her face has been plastered all over the news after her mom was murdered and dad committed suicide.  She takes off a year from college to try and get her act together.  Lorrie goes back to school and vows to lay low and stay off of everyone’s gossipy radar. She meets Hunter and tries to resist his biceps and friendly advances.  The tortured pair ends up hooking up.  Things should be amazing…but  Lorrie and Hunter are just a wreck.

Wrecked was total Kindle Crack.  It was a pretty good story and fast read. I wanted to smack Lorrie towards the end of this book.  I KNOW SHE IS MENTAL BUT…. Arghhh!  Ahhh…I feel better - I needed to vent.  I can’t wait to read Rescued (Book #2).  I hope it comes out super SOON!  Love that Hunter…I hope he gets rescued.

Chapter 1
(Unedited and subject to change.)

You can run but you can’t hide,
I know what lies deep inside.
I lower my glasses and rush across the road, head down, hoodie covering my head and face. A small woman standing outside of the door, watches at me as I dart around behind the gas station, backpack
tightly wrapped around my shoulders, clipped at the front. My sneakers are worn, and they squeak on the pavement as I scurry into the ladies toilets. I rush into the small, crappy room, kicking in the doors, and
when I realize it’s empty, I lower my hood. My long blonde hair tumbles out when I remove the cap from my
head that was sitting firmly under my hoodie. It’s my usual look these days. Jeans, sneakers, singlet top, hoodie and a cap. It’s the easiest look to disguise who I am when I’m forced to get out in public. I lower my
face, and turn on the tap, filling my hands with water and splashing it on my skin. I close my eyes, letting the cool feeling calm my nervous, frightened body. They’ve found me. It’s only the third time Axel Wraithe has managed to catch up

READ THIS NOW - Behind His Eyes (Consequences Book #4) by Aleatha Romig is LIVE!


Behind His Eyes by Aleatha Romig is LIVE.  I was super lucky to receive an advanced review copy of this book and all I have to say is...one click this now. My review will appear next week with the blog tour. Please note:  This is a reading companion and recommended to read AFTER finishing this series. Read a excerpt below.



Synopsis:
BEHIND HIS EYES—CONSEQUENCES is a reading companion, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig, recommended to be read after completing all three books of the CONSEQUENCES SERIES: Consequences, Truth, and Convicted. It is not a standalone book and should not be read as such.

This companion was written to explore the thoughts and motivations of Anthony Rawlings, the man behind the consequences. It was not intended as a total rewrite of Consequences, but meant to enhance the reader’s understanding. BEHIND HIS EYES—CONSEQUENCES contains significant scenes from the novel Consequences, as experienced from Anthony’s point of view. It also contains never before published, behind the scenes information, as well as, a glossary of the characters, and a timeline devoted to the events within Consequences.

BEHIND HIS EYES—CONSEQUENCES is a dark journey into the mind of the man who believes that he controls everything and controls nothing. Because there is more to learn about a man who:

Once upon a time, signed a napkin that he knew was a contract. As an esteemed businessman, he forgot one very important rule—he forgot to read the fine print. It wasn’t an acquisition to own another person as he’d previously assumed. It was an agreement to acquire a soul.
—Aleatha Romig, CONVICTED


It was a long and painful acquisition—especially from Behind His Eyes!

About the Author
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?  Nah .... 
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 ...

Meet the Author:
My name is Wendi Hulsey. I was born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee. After several vacations to the sunshine state, my husband and I fell in love with the warm weather and decided to have a house built in Florida. I miss my family and friends up north;however, I will never regret not having to shovel snow again. I have been a registered nurse for about ten years. I currently work on a medical/surgical unit, preferring to work the night shift.
My husband and I have been married for sixteen years, and I appreciate his support during this endeavor. I have one son who is a hard working grown man now living on his own. He has blessed me with the most precious grandson and a wonderful future daughter in law. My daughter is a beautiful and smart teenager who excels at just about anything she tries. She enjoys playing soccer and we have spent numerous hours on various soccer fields. I am blessed to have my mother, a retired cook, living with me and she is a great help with cooking, cleaning, and chauffeuring the teenager. Other members of our family include; one dog, one cat, two turtles and several fish.
My love for reading began at the age of twelve on a stormy day. With nothing to do I was bugging my mother, she said, “Go read a book.” I have never stopped. As a teenager, I preferred horror books, mainly Stephen King. As I age, my reading tastes change and I currently read mysteries, romance, or erotica. It has always been my dream to write a book. Although writing is a hobby for me, I hope to produce a book to the best of my abilities and hope you have enjoyed what you read. Thank you for your support.

AUTHOR BIO:
Tijan started writing later in life, after she had already graduated college with a different direction in mind and a different degree under her belt. Hitting the brakes on that path, she taught herself how to write a good book and began posting at sites such as Fictionpress, along with Wattpad. After receiving such encouraging messages from readers, she self-published Fallen Crest High and has continued throughout the year. She continues to keep writing NA books!

I will remain spoiler free and not regurgitate the synopsis.  All I have to say is FCP is all DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA that will have you all bitter twisted and page turning into the night.  Once again this crazy HS drama had me I was clutching my Kindle either wanting to smack a bitch or…..saying ONWTF(Oh No What The F***).   Then the ending.

EXCERPT
Then Logan came out of the gas station. He had two coffees in hand with his head down, clueless of the
Broudou brothers as he crossed the lot. There still hadn’t been a word spoken between the brothers
and Mason. Yet. It was coming.A shiver went down my spine.Slipping my hand inside my pocket, I made sure my phone was there and pulled it out. If they made one violent move, I was calling 911. I wasn’t going to risk them being hurt. Mason’s future had already been threatened by Analise. It wasn’t going to be
threatened again.Then it happened. I gulped as I watched it in slow motion. Logan stepped forward, he frowned, and then lifted his head. His eyes found me first. He paused. His
foot came down hard in mid-step and he glanced around. He saw

Blog Tour Review & Promo Giveaway - Beck by Harper Sloan


There was Axel...then Cage and NOW Beck!  Check out my review Beck (Book #3 Corps Security) and blog tour giveaway! If you are looking for a interconnected  standalone series with some hot alpha males and free of cliff hangers-- this is it!



Synopsis:
**Warning** This book is intended for a mature reading**

~DEE~
I’ve always been good at wearing masks. Not letting anyone see the real me. I’m content
the happy-go-lucky best friend. The strong willed boss. The independent woman who
doesn’t need a man. But the truth is I’m just as broken as the rest of you. I’m terrified that all it will take is one person to make all my carefully constructed walls crumble into fine dust. So I guard my
heart with everything I have. Determined to never let anyone get close enough to hurt me
again.

All is perfect until HE walks into my life. No… he doesn’t just walk. He struts his good-
looking, sex-oozing self-right into my space and demands that I see HIM. Making me want
what I know I can’t have. So I did the only thing I know how to do.
I run. But he just won’t let me go.

~BECK~
The second I see her, I know she will be mine. I see past the gorgeous smiles and heart-stopping laughter. I see HER. She doesn’t want me to know her secrets or the past that haunts her, but I make it my mission to find out.

To make her mine.She can run all she wants, but it will never be far enough to stop me from coming after
her.

She’s it for me and she knows it.
She’s just too scared to admit it.

**NO cliffhanger, HEA, inter-connected standalones**


About The Author:
Harper lives in small town Georgia just a short drive from her hometown of Peachtree City. She (and her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the house they dubbed 'Estrogen Ocean', much to her husband’s chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with her ereader
attached. As an ex-reviewer and blogger, Harper's passion for reading runs deep. It wasn't until 'Axel' decided to take up residence that she realized her true calling. She started using writing as a way to unwind when the house went to sleep at night; and with a house full of crazy it was the perfect way to just relax. It didn't take long before a head full of very demanding alphas would stop at nothing to
have their story told.

Beck (Corps Security, #3)Beck by Harper Sloan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free.  I highly suggest reading this series in order to understand back story/relationships etc.

Series Reading Order:
-Axel
-Cage
-Beck

I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up Beck.  I read and enjoyed the other two books in this series and didn’t really “know” Dee.   I knew that Beck was part of the hottie alpha security team and had a thing with Dee.  The couple had a tumultuous relationship going on.  Everything about their relationship came together in the third installment of this series.  Man, I had NO idea what was going on in the background....no one did!

Dee painted a picture of what she wanted everyone to see.  No one realized the pain, depression and desperation she was going though. Happy and fun loving Dee didn’t really exist.  Her best friends had NO idea that she was *thisclose* to going off the deep end.  Only one person recognized her pain, saw through her bitchy/fake façade and took the time to love and help her any way he could.  Beck was there ready to catch her every time…but would she fall too far down for Beck to pick her up?

There was a lot going on in this action packed and steamy story.  If you read Axel and Cage…you must check out Beck.  This book does not end  with a cliffhanger but it’s obvious the other Corps boys will have a story to tell.  I am looking forward to checking out Locke and Cooper in books four and five!!

Cover Reveal - Destroyed by Pepper Winters

I recently devoured Tears of Tess and Quintessentially Q by Pepper Winters.  If you are in the mood for a little dark and twisted...read them.  Check out the cover and synopsis for Destroyed.  I have a feeling its going to be really good! 


Title: Destroyed
Author: Pepper Winters
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Expected Release Date: February 2014



Synopsis
She’s a woman with a dirty secret.
I’m complicated. Not broken or ruined or running from a past I can’t face. Just complicated. For good reason.
I thought my life couldn’t get any more tangled in deceit and confusion. But I hadn’t met him. I hadn’t been sucked into his lies or taught to run from everything that he is. Instead, I let him ensnare me, seduce me, trap me with secrets—Hazel Hunter
He’s a man with a killer secret.
I’ve never pretended to be good or deserving. Despite the shadows I live in, I’m ultimately a slave to my secrets and that gives me a free pass to chase who I want, be who I want, act how I want.
I didn’t have time to lust after a woman I had no right to lust after. I told myself to shut up and stay hidden. But how could I deny her? How could I deny my one chance at redemption? But then she tried to run. I’d found a cure to my existence and damned if I would let her go—Roan Fox
And secrets silently destroy them.

Prologue
I didn’t believe her when she said she was complicated.
She didn’t believe me when I said I had secrets.
I didn’t understand the truth, even when she let me glimpse behind her mask.
She didn’t understand that I couldn’t live with the consequences.
I thought she was a saint.
She thought I was a sinner.
Too bad we didn’t try to find the truth.
We both paid the price.
We destroyed each other.



About the Author
