Synopsis:
#1 New York Times Bestseller Jamie McGuire returns to self-
publishing with this page-turning YA account of Erin Easter, one of three Erins in the small senior class of rural Blackwell High School who not only share a first name, but also their birthday. Easter, raised by a neglectful single mom, keeps to herself and admires Weston Gates from afar. The other Erins, Erin "Alder" Alderman and Erin"Sonny" Masterson are the darlings of the community: daughters of the two wealthiest families in town, best friends, cheerleaders, and everything Easter isn't--and they never let her forget it. Alder has even claimed Weston since the 8th grade.

Weston is a well-liked star athlete, and the son of two prominent attorneys. He struggles daily with the pressures of living up to his family name and secretly empathizes with Easter's feeling that she belongs somewhere else; in a different life. Not until he begins sneaking nights out with Easter does he gain the courage to buck expectations and acknowledge his feelings ... both for his future, and for her.

A shocking tragedy rocks the tiny town, and Easter's life is turned upside down in the best way possible. But when the truth is revealed and everything she thinks she wanted falls into her lap, life only becomes more complicated.

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.

Review of A Hunted Man on Kindle Crack Book ReviewsA Hunted Man by Jaime Reese
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided by in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. 4.5 –5 Stars. HEA.  No cliffhanger/part of a series.

A Hunted Man by Jamie Reese was such a wonderful feel good mystery m/m type of romance.  Hunter was such a smart and sexy hero/prosecutor who was married to his job. Cam was the ex-con who spent 10 years in prison for murder.  Hunter was the man to set Cam free in more ways than one.

Ok…let’s talk about epic nuclear connection!  This story was all about the build up and not a smutastic sex fest. Don’t get me wrong….I love smutastic steam fests....but the build-up and chemistry between Cam and Hunter was so crazy sexy.  This story reminded me of a gay romance version of Law & Order.

This love story has some intricate plot twists filled with lies, lattes and murder.  Highly recommend if you like hot lawyers, hot coffee and hot gay romance stories :)  Enjoy!!!

Synopsis:
THE MISSING YEARS is the final piece to Aleatha Romig’s CONSEQUENCES SERIES puzzle. 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.

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!




Tony

You never find yourself until you face the truth. 

—Pearl Bailey

Judge Temple interjected, “Let me get this straight: it’s believed that Mrs. Rawlings’ current mental state 

was caused by previous injury or possibly a very stressful situation?”

“Yes,” Jane replied.

“Are both options viable?”

“Yes,” she said again.

Turning toward Tony, the judge asked, “Mr. Rawlings, in the best interest of your family, though you are 

not under oath, I’m expecting a truthful answer. Do you know how Mrs. Rawlings received the initial and most 

severe injury to her brain that is evident on the medical scans?”

“Judge, my client does not need to answer that question,” Brent interjected.

“Counselor, I need the facts to make my decision. Mr. Rawlings, I’m waiting.”

The rush of blood to his face made Tony feel faint. Maintaining the eye contact he’d demanded of Claire 

in the past, Tony gazed only at the judge. “Yes, I do.”

“There is a sensationalized bestselling book on the market right now that claims to have been narrated by 

your wife. Are you aware of this book?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Have you read the book?”

Tony stoically replied, “No, I have not.”

“Were you aware that you’re mentioned in this book?”

“Judge, where is this going?” Brent asked.

“Counselor, I want to hear your client’s answer. Mr. Rawlings, were you the cause of that brain injury? 

Did you harm your wife?”

Tony turned toward John and Emily. “I’m not proud of the things I’ve done in the past, and I would never 

do them again. I would do anything to have never behaved as I did. You need to know that this time things were 

different.”

“Mr. Rawlings...” Judge Temple’s voice deepened, “...while we’re not in a courtroom, I will still hold you 

in contempt if you avoid another of my direct questions. Did you cause your wife grievous bodily harm in 2010?”

“Tony, don’t answer this,” Brent urged.

“Grievous?” Tony asked.

“Did you wound her with intent?”

“I didn’t intend to harm her. It just...”

Tony’s words faded, tears descended Emily’s cheeks, as the small room buzzed with silence. 

“Mr. Rawlings,” Judge Temple continued, “are the things in Ms. Banks’ book based on fact?”

“I haven’t read her book.”

“How did Mrs. Rawlings first come to live at your house, in 2010?”

Tony looked toward Brent and then remembering the judge’s statement about contempt, he replied, “I’d 

rather not answer that question.”

“Oh my God,” Emily breathed under her breath, “you’re a monster.”

How will Axel and Isabelle deal when all their cards are put on the table and everything they thought was true blows up in their faces?

About Harper Sloan
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 husbands chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with her eReader attached. She enjoys bad reality TV and cheesy romantic flicks. Her favorite kind of hero--the super alpha kind!
Harper 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.
