Two best friends. One Christmas. Unpredictable events that tear a perfect friendship apart.

Jenna Rivera changed after the night on the beach where her heart was broken and she lost everything she thought she had. Gone is the girl who was raised by the sea, replaced by the city girl she swore she'd never be.

Five and a half years, countless one night stands and a stockbroker boyfriend later, Jenna and Deacon reunite. The past and present collide as they mask the all consuming love they feel for each other with a dangerous cocktail of anger, jealousy and lust.
Deacon makes it his mission to win Jenna back, to save her from the years of pain he caused. He swears to be her hero, grasping with both hands at their second chance at the kind of love many dream of .

In life nothing is certain, and every day must be treated as if it's your last. Can they save their love, and each other, before it's too late?

I found a new author to love! Review of On My Knees by Meredith Wild


On My Knees is one heck of a second chance roller coaster ride romance!  It's official...I am a fan of Meredith Wild!  Check out my review & author giveaway. 
Synopsis:
Haunted by the responsibility of caring for her troubled family, Maya Jacobs gave the only
answer she could when Cameron asked her to marry him. Years later, entrenched in a
soulless professional routine, she distracts herself from the lingering regret of her decision
with a “work hard, play hard” lifestyle that guarantees no man will ever find his way into
her heart again.

Cameron Bridge has spent the past five years married to the military, trying to escape the
painful memory of losing Maya. After fighting his own war in the desert, he starts a new life
in New York City, with his siblings, Olivia and Darren, by his side.
When fate brings Maya back to him in the heart of a city filled with its own hopes and shadows, can Cameron find the girl he once loved in the woman she’s become?

Review of On My Knees by Meredith Wild on Kindle Crack Book Reviews
On My Knees (Bridge, #1)On My Knees by Meredith Wild
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Kindle Crack Book Reviews rating 4.5 – 5.00 stars.
No cliffhanger
Stand alone: book one in a series.
Steam factor: amazing character chemistry.

ARC kindly provided by in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. 4.5 – 5.00. On My Knees by Meredith Wild is an emotion packed story about love, heartbreak and second chances. I am physically and mentally fried after reading On My Knees.  This book was “unputabledownable.”

I am not going to regurgitate the synopsis, but I will top-line it in order to remain spoiler free.  Maya is in her last year of college and head over heels in love with her boyfriend Cam.  While on leave from the military, Cam visits Maya and proposes to her. Maya declines his proposal.

“As head over heels as I was, as we both were, I couldn’t go through with it.  One day, yes.  But I couldn’t say when that would be.  He wanted to take care of me, but he’d never really understand the weight I carried.”

Cam is devastated and servers all contact with her.  Maya is crushed from their breakup.  She did not want to lose him, but she just wasn’t ready to tie the knot and expose her less than perfect family life.

Five years later Maya is on a career fast track and has turned into party girl train wreck.  She is extremely unhappy and numbs herself with booze. Maya was never the same after Cam left her.  While she is pretty successful…she is also broken and bitter after losing Cam. Cam was a huge mess after he and Maya broke up. He threw himself into his military career by volunteering for dangerous tours of duty. He is a successful gym owner and still head over heels in love with Maya.  After running into Maya on the street by her office, Cam manages to wiggle back into her life. He wants to get back together with her. Maya is still devastated from their breakup and pushes Cam away…again and again…and again and again. What will it take for love to find its way?

Let me start off by saying Maya frustrated the life out of me at times.   I think I was on my knees begging her to get her act together and give Cam a second chance. Yeah...she gave me emotional whiplash.   Overall, I didn’t let my frustration with Maya get in the way of loving this book.  The plot and the characters got under my skin in a big way. Cam & Maya’s story flowed beautifully from alternating points of view. I was captivated from the first to the last page.  I couldn’t put this book down and read it in one sitting. One click this rollercoaster now.  I think I found a new writer to love and will auto-download the next book in this series.

SNEAK PEEK - BEHIND HIS EYES CONVICTED: THE MISSING YEARS (BOOK #4) BY Aleatha Romig

Check out the fourth book in the Convicted series - BEHIND HIS EYES CONVICTED: THE MISSING YEARS.  Aleatha Romig renumbered the series and will officially announce this exciting series addition later today.  This book is not a companion to the series. Aleatha was kind enough to give a sneak peak to Kindle Crack Book Reviews fans! Enjoy.

Series reading order:
Consequences - Book 1
Truth - Book 2
Convicted - Book 3
NEW - Behind His Eyes Convicted: THE MISSING YEARS - Book 4






If Aleatha Romig’s CONSEQUENCES SERIES is a puzzle, BEHIND HIS EYES CONVICTED: THE MISSING YEARS is the final piece. Follow the twists and turns as secrets are revealed, consequences are delivered, and the future is shown. 

In CONVICTED we saw what happened that fateful afternoon at the Rawlings Estate. Now experience the shocking repercussions firsthand. More than a companion, this full-length novel fills in the gap of 
time that was only mentioned, beginning when Claire Nichols forgets and seen through the eyes of collective men (the HIS is plural).

In THE MISSING YEARS, readers will see Anthony Rawlings fight for what belongs to him and cope with the reality of his past. Watch as Harrison Baldwin discovers the truth that threatens his beliefs, and as 

John Vandersol comes to terms with his revelations. Witness Phillip Roach, as he decides with whom his loyalties lay, and Brent Simmons, as he demonstrates the meaning of friendship—no matter the cost. 

As the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, BEHIND HIS EYES CONVICTED goes beyond. This final 
installment of the series offers a glimpse into the future of the lives that will forever be changed 
because there was 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

BEHIND HIS EYES CONVICTED also contains a complete glossary of characters and a timeline that covers the entire series. If you have read New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig’s CONSEQUENCES, TRUTH, and CONVICTED, you must learn the rest of the story: BEHIND HIS EYES CONVICTED: THE MISSING YEARS!

A Hunted Man (The Men of Halfway House #2) by Jamie Reese - Release Day News

Happy release day Jamie Reese.  I just started reading A Hunted Man, and I'm loving this new m/m romance.  Check it out. 


Title: A Hunted Man (The Men of Halfway House #2)
Author: Jaime Reese
Release: April 29, 2014

Synopsis:
After surviving ten years in prison, Cameron Pierce is attempting to put the past behind him. He tries to adjust to his newfound freedom with a place at the halfway house and a job. But one lesson he learned in prison keeps him guarded: hope is a dangerous thing.

Hunter Donovan, Assistant State Attorney, is a man of justice who loves a challenge. After a lifetime of putting his career first, a milestone brings him to a harsh realization—he's lonely.

Hunter's world changes when he meets Cam. The wary young man intrigues him and awakens a desire unlike anything he's ever experienced. When Cam's past resurfaces and threatens to rip them apart, their budding relationship is challenged and Cam's hope for a future begins to dim.

These outside forces hunting Cam will stop at nothing to send him back to prison. But they'll have to get past Hunter first.

Author Bio:
Jaime Reese is the alter ego of an artist who loves the creative process of writing, just not about herself. Fiction is far more interesting. She has a weakness for broken, misunderstood heroes and feels everyone deserves a chance at love and life. An avid fan of a happy ending, she believes those endings acquired with a little difficulty are more cherished.

Excerpt/Chapter 1:

Cameron Pierce didn't really know what to expect when the entire nightmare began days before
his eighteenth birthday, but here he was, standing behind a large metal door waiting for it to open
and grant his freedom. Nine years, eight months, two weeks, and five days of hell. Even though he
had to stay in a designated halfway house for the next few months, at least he wouldn't have these
bars or barbed wire fences to constantly remind him of his nightmare.

He fidgeted. In exchange for almost ten years of his life, the prison system gave him a hundred
bucks for expenses during transfer, and a plain, standard-issue cardboard box containing his
personal items—a watch, ten bucks, and a pack of gum. Everything broken or useless, which pretty
much mirrored his existence. He ditched the box and everything else then pocketed the cash.
The gears of the large metal door ground as they inched open. Cameron shifted his weight from
foot to foot, waiting for just enough space to squeeze through the door. He looked over to the
guard and concluded he'd be better off attempting to walk out of this prison with a little dignity.

At the pace these doors opened, he figured he'd age another decade in the process. He closed his
eyes and counted, begging for a little patience to come his way. He finally heard the grinding stop
and opened his eyes.There, in the middle of the empty parking lot, Sam leaned against a car with crossed arms and a
smile.

Cameron groaned as he finally exited the prison gates.

Mr. Samuel Issacs, rehabilitation officer, also secretly campaigned for sainthood every chance he
had. His job was to help a group of assigned inmates rejoin the world with others but his mission
was to mentor them. Sam wanted to talk, help, and offer support. Cam, on the other hand, knew
better than to open his mouth, and he damn sure wasn't going to risk Sam becoming some form of
collateral damage. Cam had learned that lesson the hard way.

"Hey, Sam," he said once he arrived where Sam was parked.

"Hey, Cam. I thought I'd give you a ride to the halfway house instead of having you take the bus,"
he said as he opened the passenger side door of the car.Cameron waited, not sure if sitting in a car for hours with Saint Sam was a good idea.

"C'mon, Cam. I can guarantee you the drive with me will be better than a busload of people coming
back from Universal Studios with stinky feet and a crapload of gas."

Cameron groaned.

Sam laughed. "Besides, I already filled out the paperwork so you're stuck with me. Get in."
Cam didn't say a word. He climbed into the car, sat in the passenger seat, and then closed the car
door.

"Buckle up, it's the law."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Nope, state of Florida, it's the law."

"Since when?"

"Just strap in so we can get out of here."

Cameron groaned again as he pulled the belt and clicked it in place. He hated the way it cut into
his damn shoulder. Who knew what else had changed while he was in prison. Just another reminder
of things he had missed. He shifted in his seat only to have his movement limited by the seat belt
restraint.

Wonderful.

Here he was, finally out of prison, yet somehow still found a way to be constrained in a small
enclosed area. Hell, this was even smaller than the six-by-eight cell he’d called home for almost a
decade.

How ironic.
