Synopsis:
Bo Dunway’s young life has been fortunate. His parents being wealthy and providing
him and his sister a loving environment growing up, he’s never wanted for much but he
has a heart of gold. With his good grades and basketball scholarship he’s able to attend
a prominent college, but he doesn't want to live out of state. He can’t bear the thought of
leaving behind the one thing he loves more than basketball. Stormy Reece.

Stormy Reece grew up in the most unusual conditions. Meeting Bo and his family was
the best thing that ever happened to her. They met when he was seven, and she was five
behind the Mexican Restaurant he and his family frequented. Her single mother worked
there most day and nights so Stormy was always there hanging out in the kitchen or
the back alley. Without a father figure in her life, she rebelled in her late teens, going to
party’s with the friends she had made that were horrible influences, staying out till all
hours of the night and worrying her mother sick.
Bo and Stormy became inseparable until he reluctantly left for college. He promised
he’d never leave her. She believed him. Never again will she trust anyone but herself. He
knew from the moment he saw her that he was going to marry her one day. Being forced
to attend a college away from his home town, his promising career hangs in the balance
as his concentration is only on one thing. Stormy.
Will Bo follow his dreams or his heart and will they ever be able to live out their dream
of being together?

Michelle Kemper Brownlow's link to Chapter One! http://michellekemperbrownlow.blogspot.com/2014/04/above-noise-cover-reveal-and-chapter-1.html

Synopsis:
Becki Mowry’s journalism expertise keeps her busy as she spends her waking hours filling a calendar with gigs and public appearances for her boyfriend’s up and coming band, Alternate Tragedy. Radio interviews and TV spots result in sold out concerts and rowdy groupies hot for her guy; lead singer, Calon Ridge. But, as fame would have it, their time in the limelight also brings sabotage, rumors and false accusations. Becki and Calon try to stay steadfast on a personal journey that takes them to the depths of fear and uncertainty. And finally, the rug is pulled out from under the band when they must make a transition they never dreamed they’d be faced with.

In this third book of the In Too Deep series, Becki and Calon struggle to find balance as they navigate their new relationship while living amid the rock world’s nocturnal chaos. But when life’s unexpected obstacles come out of nowhere, they focus on finding their own private solace Above the Noise.
My debut New Adult romance, IN TOO DEEP, and its sequel, ON SOLID GROUND, were released in 2013 and have spent time on 3 of Amazon's Top 100 lists!
  
AUTHOR BIO:
Michelle Kemper Brownlow has been a storyteller her entire life. Her debut was on the high school cheerleading bus granting requests to re-tell her most embarrassing moments for a gaggle of hysterical squadmates.
Earning her Bachelor’s degree from Penn State University in Art Education and then marrying her very own “Jake,” she moved to Binghamton, NY where she taught high school. After having two children she quit work and finished her Master’s degree in Elementary Education at Binghamton University.
The Brownlow family of four moved to Michelle’s hometown of Morgantown, PA while the children were still quite young. A few years after moving, her family grew by one when they welcomed a baby into their home through the gift of adoption. The family still resides in PA, just miles from where that high school cheer bus was parked.
Michelle has been an artist for as long as she can remember, always choosing pencils and crayons over toys and puzzles. As a freelance illustrator, her simple characters play the starring roles in numerous emergent reader books published by Reading Reading Books.

Check out my review, excerpt and giveaway for Salvation by Noelle Adams. I will be checking out Noelle's other books after reading this one. There is a $25.00 gift card (from Amazon or B&N) and five signed paperbacks up for grabs.

Synopsis:
You get to the point where you can just say it. There was never anything special about me, 
except my father is rich and important. That's why it happened.

It was just a normal Tuesday afternoon. 

I was twenty-three and thinking about my new designer boots. They kidnapped me for ransom. 

They raped me before I was rescued. My therapist says that talking about it means I'm starting to 
heal.

I don't really think I am.

It's even harder to talk about Gideon. He couldn’t save me when it really mattered, so he keeps trying to save me now. He refuses to give up on me, and I can’t make him understand. There are some things you just can’t be saved from.

Warning: Salvation is a love story that follows a difficult path of healing after sexual assault. It is a true contemporary romance, but it addresses very hard issues, including rape and attempted suicide. Please consider whether this book is for you.

Review on Kindle Crack Book Reviews
Salvation by Noelle  Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.0 – 4.5 Stars! Complementary review copy kindly provided by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free. Stand-alone. HEA.

Diana is walking down the street without a worry in the world.  She is kidnapped, and gang raped by Albanian mafia members hell-bent on revenge. While, in captivity, she meets Gideon. Gideon is an undercover FBI agent who has been working to take down the Albanian gang.  His cover is blown, and he is waiting for gang members to kill him.    Diana and Gideon are thrown together in a makeshift holding area.  He does his best to protect and prepare her for the worst. After physically surviving…Diana is dead on the inside.   Gideon can never forget the woman the tried to protect and him.    Their budding romance is over shadowed by the incident that brought them together.  Together they find the light in darkness as they learn to navigate new love and bad memories.

Salvation heavily focuses on the emotional aftermath than the actual rape/kidnapping.  This story was so authentic and raw. Dianas journey to find herself again is, so painfully real….it hurts to think that people have experienced such anguish. The characters were likeable. Diana was not a doormat, and Gideon was a saint.   I couldn’t get enough of this story and would recommend it.


Excerpt:
The voices were even louder now. Right outside the door. I buried my face in his shirt and tried to drown them out.

Something banged into the door, and I smothered a squeal in his chest. Then Gideon was moving my head, raising my face to look up at him. His voice was low and rough and urgent. “Diana, try not to panic. You need to listen to me.”

I was shaking so helplessly I couldn’t see, I couldn’t think.

He held my shoulders and said, still roughly but with clearer authority. “Diana, look at me. Listen to me right now.”

I managed to control myself enough to meet his eyes. There was no way I could say anything.

“They’re not allowed to kill either one of us yet, and that can help us. There are some things they won’t be able to do.”
