 Blurb:
What is the true name of evil?

 The Zodiac Killer, the Hillside Strangler, the Night Stalker, and the Green River Killer all left their mark on California . . . and now the city of angels is under siege.

 When fiery, redheaded biker MJ Bennett witnessed her beloved grandfather gunned down on her sixteenth birthday, she made herself two promises. She would continue his quest to save teenagers lost to the dark side of Hollywood—the side tourists never see—and she would never let herself get that close to anyone ever again.

 But after meeting traumatized runaway, Haley Roberts, she breaks her own rule. MJ suspects that Haley has narrowly escaped the Hard Candy Killer, a sadistic serial killer targeting teen sex workers with blonde hair and blue eyes.

 MJ begins to connect the dots between Haley and a dangerous crime lord who hides his savage sex trafficking enterprise behind legitimate businesses. But the clock is ticking, and the Hard Candy Killer is closing in on the target he wants most, MJ, whose family secrets have her marked for destruction, turning the hunter into the hunted.

 Blurb
Dimpled smile of a boy
Hard body of a man
Sings like an angel
Fucks like the devil

 I was stuck between a rock(star) and a hard place.

 At fifteen, his poster hung on my bedroom wall.  At twenty-five his body hovered over mine.  Every girl’s fantasy became my reality.  I was dating a rockstar.  Yet I was slowly falling for another man.  The problem was—the two men—they shared a tour bus.  

 Flynn Beckham was the opening act.
Dylan Ryder was the headliner.

 What happens when the opening act begins to shine so bright, it seems to dim everything else in its wake?

 I’ll tell you what happens.  Things get ugly.

Release Day Giveaway & Review - Come to Me Recklessly (Closer to You #3) by A.L. Jackson

Another gem by Jackson!  Check out my review & enter to win a signed set of the Closer to You series!  



Blurb:

His heart was turned off…

 Until she turned him on…

 Christopher Moore gave up on the idea of love years ago. Now, his life is an endless string of parties and an even longer string of girls. Enjoying the physical perks with none of the emotional mess, hes convinced everyone that hes satisfied—everyone but himself. 

 Samantha Schultz has moved on with her life. Finishing her student teaching and living with her boyfriend, shes deluded herself into believing shes content. But there is one boy she never forgot—her first love—and she keeps the memory of him locked up tight. She will never allow any man to break her the way Christopher did.

 When Christopher's sister and her family move into a new neighborhood, Christopher is completely unprepared to find Samantha living at the end of the street. Memories and unspent desires send them on collision course of sex, lies, and lust. But when guilt and fear send Samantha running, Christopher will have to fight for what has always been his.

Review of Come to Me Recklessly
Come to Me Recklessly (Closer to You, #3)Come to Me Recklessly by A.L. Jackson
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Rating: 4.5 stars
Spoiler-free review
Title: Come to Me Recklessly (Closer to You #3)
Author: A.L. Jackson
Release Date: April 7, 2015
Cliffhanger: No

Everyone was against Christopher and Samantha’s budding relationship. Parents, classmates and family friends did everything they could to keep the two teenagers apart.  A series of unfortunate circumstances finally led to the young couple splitting up.  Samantha is devastated by the breakup.  She ends up going through life trying to forget about Christopher and settling for someone else.

Christopher will never get over the girl who stole his heart and walked away.  He gave up on love and fell into a world of reckless sex and drinking to numb the pain he felt after Samantha was gone. The two move on but they never got over the love that they once shared.  A chance meeting allows the two to revisit their past, but the past didn’t end pretty or nice.

“What does it take to delete the past? A thousand apologies?
A million regrets?
A litany of prayers?
If I shouted them, would you hear? If I whispered them, would you believe? If I fell at your feet, would you forgive? If I asked, would you start again?”

A.L. Jackson is an expert at writing stories about broken boys.  Boys who seem out of reach, in need of repair and a little reckless.  Come to Me Recklessly is full of love, lies and heartbreak….all served up with Jackson’s signature emotional writing style. Come to Me Recklessly beautifully ties characters from the first two books in this series together.  This book can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend reading the first two books since they were so good. While this story was a little predictable, it was still perfect. I tore through this book in a day. I hope there is another book in this series…maybe Ben’s story!!!  Another gem by Jackson!

 EXCERPT:
By the waist, he lifted me, pinning me to the wall with the hard planes of his body. I could do nothing but wrap my legs around his hips. He rocked against me, the friction of his jeans igniting that fire, the threat of Ben fueling those flames. He buried his face in my neck as if he didn’t want to see, his bite aggressive as he turned to nip at my jaw, at my chin, moving to my lips. "Told you I wouldn't let you go. Not ever again."
His frenzied voice ached with regret.
"Never," I told him, grinding myself on his erection that was pressed tight between my thighs. I felt desperate to erase the distance Ben had tried to wedge between us.
Christopher seemed even more fractured over it, unable to fathom the idea of what Ben had tried to force on me.
“I just got you back and he’s trying to take you away.” 
“I’m here…I’m here.”
“Here,” he said as if a demand, tearing at my clothes, overwrought as he rushed to palm every inch of exposed skin. My shoulders were pressed to the wall, my chest heaving with harsh breaths. He pushed up my shirt and dragged off the cups of my bra. My breasts felt heavy and full as he looked on them with a stuttered groan. He splayed his hands across my back, dragging me forward, and his mouth was there, drawing my nipple into his hot mouth, sucking hard before he turned to the other.
I bucked, my hands fists in his hair.  
He wrapped an arm low around my waist, his body leaving mine for a fraction of a second, and without setting me down, he dragged my shorts and panties from my legs. Fumbling, he pushed his jeans and underwear down around his thighs.
Without warning, he thrust into me.
I cried out from the perfect invasion.
No condom.
No heed.
Christopher took me completely.
Recklessly.

GIVEAWAY & REVIEW For the Love of Raindrops by Beth Michele


One night will change everything.  How does something so good turn so bad? 
You will need to check out my spoiler free review and enter Beth's $10.00 Amazon giveaway.
Title: For The Love of Raindrops

Author: Beth Michele

Genre: New Adult Romance

Release Date: April 6, 2015

Blurb

 This is a story about a boy who loves a girl...deeply, madly, passionately. But never in a million years did I think my story would end like this... 

 I fell in love with her when I was just a boy. 

 And then I never fell out of love. I just fell deeper.

 But she has everything. She is everything. And I have nothing to offer her. Except my heart.

 Sometimes the guy gets the girl, and they live happily ever after. I wanted to be that guy, you know? Especially since I can't imagine ever loving anyone else.

 Right after I work up the courage to tell her, my world gets torn apart. My dream becomes my worst nightmare.

 I wish I could go back in time. I wish I had told her sooner. 

 But most of all...I wish it would rain again.

Spoiler-free review
Title: For the Love of Raindrops
Author: Beth Michele
Release Date: April 6, 2015
Rating: 5 stars

Dylan and Evie are the best of friends.  They grew up together and experienced everything from eating worms to breaking bones, along with plenty of laughs and unfortunate sadness.  Through the good and bad times, memories were made.  No matter what, they were always there for one another.  Unbeknownst to each other the other, the two friends have always been attracted to each other.  Dylan finally decides to risk their friendship and tell Evie how he feels about her.  One night will change everything.  How does something so good turn so bad?

For the Love of Raindrops is a passionate, friends to lovers story that spans 20-plus years. Evie and Dylan’s story is a perfect mix of three of my favorite genres – Coming of Age, New Adult, and Young Adult.  I fell in love with both of these characters while reading about them falling in love.  This story pulled on my heart strings and didn’t let go. I shed some big ugly tears while reading this book.   FTLOR was jam packed with emotion.  Beth knocked it out of the park with this bittersweet story of friendship, courage, heartfelt devotion and tragedy. I have read and loved all of Beth’s books and For the Love of Raindrops might be my favorite.  Bravo Beth!
