Synopsis:
Cooper Rand is the high-energy drummer for his band Ivory Tower. Everyone is drawn to Cooper; which makes him the go-to party guy for those lucky enough to call him friend. He loves the lifestyle that comes along with being a rock star and feels perfectly suited for the role. He is also a professional when it comes to the hook-up, unwilling to stick around long enough to allow emotions to enter into what he's doing. He's lived his entire life 'in the moment' and it isn't until he meets Jayson that he begins to question the direction of his life and if he's been missing out on something truly special all this time.

Jayson Keller has spent most of his life living on the island of Martha's Vineyard working as a builder.
Living on a small, conservative island also has Jayson working overtime to keep his sexual orientation
secret. He has mastered the art of hiding in the closet, but he doesn't want it to be a forever thing.
Jayson always said if the right man came along he'd happily leave the safety of his closet and live openly as a gay man. The problem is, living where he does limits his partner options and finding someone worth coming out of that closet for seems an unlikely prospect.

A party at Alex Metcalf's island estate brings Cooper and Jayson face-to-face. Lightning strikes hot and fast and suddenly their lives take a whole new path. Has Jayson finally met a man worth leaving his self-imposed closet? Have a couple of hours spent alone with Jayson opened Cooper to the idea there is a deeper meaning to life beyond the stage and the value of a committed relationship? But, a bigoted
family and the rock star lifestyle could ruin everything and keep both men searching for what was
standing right in front of them: a soul mate.

Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling author of Into the Deep
LIVE YOUNG. LIVE HARD. LOVE DEEP.
Charley and Jake’s story concludes in Out of the Shallows…
Somehow, after everything they’ve been through, Jake Caplin and Charley Redford made their way back to one another. But finding each other and staying together are two completely different things.
When Charley’s world is flipped upside down, she begins to question the choices and decisions she’s made since her arrival in Edinburgh, and in an effort to grip onto what she holds most dear she believes she must sacrifice her love for Jake.
Returning to the States for her senior year, Charley struggles to find peace and happiness. While everyone else seems to be finding themselves in college, Charley is terrified that, along with almost everything else that’s important to her, she’s lost herself.
While friends and family deal with their own tumultuous lives, there is one person resolved to uncover the reason behind Charley’s sudden defection and unhappiness. Refusing to give up without a fight, Jake believes he is the only one who can truly understand what Charley is going through, and this time he’s determined to prove he’s there for her no matter what obstacles are thrown in their way.
However, as Charley strives to make it through the biggest personal journey of her life thus far, there is no guarantee that the woman she is becoming will still need Jake as much as the girl she once was did...

Excerpt
I couldn’t actually dispute any of that, which made me even more pissed, hurt, defensive, scared and … confused.
I started to shiver. “I … I can’t do this.” I turned away.
I hadn’t taken two steps when I felt his hand wrap around my wrist. Jake tugged me, forcefully, pulling me around so I stumbled into his chest. His lips crashed down on mine, his kiss hungry, desperate, angry …
For a moment I forgot everything else but the hard pressure of his mouth on mine, the smell of his cologne, the feel of his body. I was surrounded.
Drowning.
And I let it happen.
His lips moved from my mouth to my chin, along my jaw, as his hand slid up my waist, his thumb just grazing my breast. I sighed, my body arching into his. I was hot. Hot and wanting. Nothing else mattered but the way I felt when he touched me.
His voice was ragged in my ear. “I’ve missed you so much. I love you so fucking much.” He squeezed my waist and pulled me closer, his mouth reaching for mine again but those three little words had broken through the spell of lust created by Jake’s proximity and the four beers I’d had.
“Stop,” I whispered, pushing gently on his chest.

I know I’m twisted. Growing up in a perfectly well-adjusted home, I don’t really have
an excuse. But no matter… I realize how messed up I am. And therapy can only do so
much.

I pushed my boyfriend to violence, a violence he couldn't control. Sickly, I almost liked
it. So I pushed him more. Before long, the pain outweighed the pleasure and the loss
I sustained shattered me. So I ran. I’m now a bit shell-shocked harboring a lot of guilt.

My boyfriend is now my ex and wants revenge. He wants me to pay for turning him into
the monster he’s become. And I still have a deviant yearning that I don’t understand. My
own monster inside… my own demon to battle.

I can’t get close to anyone. I can’t give in and scratch that itch. I can’t wreck someone
And now there is Kian… my rescuer on a dark, painful night. He sees through my
pretense. He tries to pull me from my frightened isolation, to keep me from becoming a
victim. He forces me to face my warped desires and shows me that pain doesn’t really
have to truly hurt.

He wants to show me a way to serenity. But I am afraid… Will I ruin a good man?

Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla discovered historical romance, feeding off of work of Jude Deveraux & Lisa Kleypas. She loves a book that can make the reader run the gamut of emotions, from the sweet glow of new love to gut-wrenching heartache. She is a true romantic & always has stories floating around in her head, living in a fantasyland until she writes them down to free them.
Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-loving mother, Sibylla was raised to treasure music that digs deep into the psyche, drawing out elation, sorrow, grief, desire. The soundtrack to her life includes many genres spanning centuries. She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (ratherobsessively, actually... but, really, how can you NOT be crazy about this guy!? Jared Leto. Shhh.</ strong>) & pimps them out to all her friends through Spotify. She also delights in Met HD broadcasts at her local movie theater & hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte.

Sibylla lives with her husband and hero who saved her from her own calamitous, young-adult self.
He makes her laugh daily, even when things are tough. He's proved to her that love really can heal a
shattered soul. In 18 years, they have never had a fight, although argue regularly with their two teenage
kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their father’s quick wit (unfortunate as it is a quick wit that
Sibylla, herself, definitely does not possess – there is a reason she is a writer & not a stand-up
comedian). They live a quiet life with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers & little yap-dogs? OK, maybe not so quiet.

Review of Because of Kian on Kindle Crack Book Reviews
Because of Kian by Sibylla Matilde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars. Complementary review copy kindly provided by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free. No cliffhanger/standalone.   Because of Kian is the story of Brynn and Kian.  Brynn is not looking for a relationship with anyone after getting out of her abusive relationship with her ex- Evan. Kian is everything she thinks she is not looking for (sweet, sexy, protector type). Brynn is afraid to ruin another man by “causing” him to be abusive and crazy.  The couple tries to make it work as danger lurks around the corner.
Because of Kian was an ok for me. I had a difficult time trying to connect with Brynn and a few of the plot elements at times.  I understand insta-love stories….but insta-bondage with an abuse victim? The story went from “friends” doing the nasty on a gym floor to "I’m into kimbaku/sadomasochism…want to do it? type of situation." Other than that this book was an enjoyable, fast paced read.

Review of Finding My Way on Kindle Crack Book Reviews
Finding My Way by Heidi  McLaughlin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just when I thought this series could not get any better...it did!
It's no secret I am a Heidi McLaughlin fan.  She has auto download status on my Kindle.  I read all four books in this series and loved them all.  Initially, I wondered how much this prequel could add to this series-- since I thought I knew Liam and Josies' story.  Finding My Way added a whole new level of depth and dimension to this story. I was captivated from the first to the last page.  There were a few times that  I wanted to smack Liam and a few times that I wanted to hug him.    Finding My Way gets five huge rock stars.
