The epic romance
between an all-American beauty and her Aussie continues in this final
installment of The Beauty
Series.
Jack McLachlan is
fulfilled by more than he dared to dream possible. He finds everything he never

Life is beautiful with his beloved by his side but their post-wedded bliss is
cut short when his dark past springs into their present happiness. He wants to
shelter Laurelyn but keeping her untainted by his previous life proves
impossible when yesterday’s sins insist on returning to haunt him. Will
it be possible for them to find happiness in their forever with a past like
his?
Beauty From Love is an adult contemporary novel and is not
intended for younger readers due to mature content.
Chapter Five
Laurelyn McLachlan
My
eyes are closed and I’m listening to the sound of the waves. I’ve only been
awake for a few minutes but the resonance is hypnotic so I’m drifting back into
slumber when the bed shifts. My eyes pop open when the bed sheet slides down my
body and I feel Jack Henry’s kisses against the bare skin of my lower back.
“Are you awake?”
“I
am now.”
He
runs his hand over the valley where my spine curves inward. “Have I ever told
you how much I love this dip?”
Is
he kidding? Only like a bazillion times. “I believe you may have a time or
two.”
His
wet tongue glides upward and I bow reflexively, sending my bottom up from the
bed, hitting him against his chest. My hair prickles as goosebumps spread from
the top of my head to the tips of my toes. No matter how many times he does
this, my body reacts the same. “Good grief. You’d think I’d become immune to
that at some point.”
His
palm slides up my thigh to my cheek and he rubs it in a circular motion.
“Please don’t because I’ll never tire of seeing your body arch like that.”
I
relax beneath his touch and his talented hands knead the muscles of my back as
they make their way to my shoulders. I haven’t said anything but my body is
rebelling after our frolic against the pole yesterday. A massage is very
welcomed. “Mmm … you can stop doing that sometime next week.”
His
fingers knead in circles and, again, my body erupts into chills. “So you like
that, huh?”
“Mmm-hmm
… just a little bit.”
“A
massage is the least I can do since it’s my fault you’re sore.”
I
lift my head from the pillow and peer over my shoulder at him. “I didn’t say I
was sore.”
“You
didn’t but your body speaks to me in other ways.”
Funny,
I didn’t hear it say a thing. “How so?”
“It
wasn’t your usual fuck-me-harder moan I heard when I pushed your legs back.” He
leans down to kiss the side of my neck. “Your legs were guarded so I knew you
were probably feeling the aftermath of our pole excursion.” He kisses the side of
my face. “I’m sure it’s worse today so we’re taking a break from sex so you can
recuperate.”
I
recall how gentle and loving Jack Henry was last night while we christened our
honeymoon bed. His whole demeanor was different, but he was that way before, possibly
discerning how sore I was. “Is that why you were so gentle with me?”
“Partly.”
“What’s
the other reason?”
“I
wanted to make love to you.” He presses his nose against my hair and inhales
deeply. “I’m boorish with you too often. I should be gentler.”
I
roll, forcing him to move from my back. “Listen up, McLachlan.” He moves to his
side and we’re face to face. “I love your gentle side but I’m not a porcelain
doll. I love it when you fuck me hard.” I grab his chin and give it a squeeze.
“Sometimes I need you to be a caveman. I crave it. Understand?”
He
nods in agreement. “Yes, ma’am.”
Georgia resides in
rural Mississippi with her wonderful husband, Jeff, and their two beautiful
daughters. She spent fourteen years as a labor and delivery nurse before she
decided to pursue her dream of becoming an author and hasn’t looked back yet.
When she’s not
writing, she’s thinking about writing. When she’s being domestic, she’s listening
to her iPod and visualizing scenes for her current work in progress. Every
story coming from her always has a song to inspire it.

Excerpt
Rachel lifted her face and pressed a kiss to her favorite arm her spot. “Devin, all of these years, I’ve been trying so hard to replace you, to make my mind forget by filling it with…men. But, every time, Dev. Every single time, I was disappointed. No one can ever be you because you are the only one for me. And to answer your question, yes. I’m more than okay. That wasn’t just sex, Devin. That was you, bringing me back to life. I want to do that over, and over and over again. And next time,” she rolled over to face him, a glint in her eye. “I want it like I know you wanted to do it this time. Hard, fast, and in whatever position you want it. We had some fabulous times together. Let’s do that again.” “I want nothing more than to do it all,” Devin said, his voice low. “But don’t mistake what just happened for me just being gentle on you. I wanted to make love to you, to show you what you mean to me. I can tell you all day long, but I wanted you to feel it; feel me. My heart is beating only for you. My body is yours. I love you, Rachel.” She climbed back on top of him, pressing her body against him. “Devin,” she said, her face even with his. Pressing kisses to his eyes, nose, then lips, her body started shaking. Why was this so hard for her? She knew it like she knew her own name, but saying it was so difficult for her. “I…” She dipped her head down and kissed his ear, running her tongue along it, then his neck. When goose bumps broke out on his body, she grinned against his neck. Going back to his lips, she put her hands against his face and looked at him in the eyes. “I love your eyes,” she whispered. “And your face. God help me, that body is to die for. But Devin?” “Yes.” “What I really love?” Rachel paused, willing her body to stop quivering. “Is you. I always have.” There, that wasn’t so bad. “I have since the night I met you, and I’ve never stopped. All this time, all these years, it’s only been you for me, Dev. I know we have shit to work through. But, I love you. I do. I don’t think there will ever be a moment where I’m not completely and totally in love with you.”About the Author

Life is full of moments.
Big moments.
Little moments.
And none of them are inconsequential.
Every single moment prepares you for that one instance that defines your life. You must overcome all your fears, confront the demons that chase you, and cleanse the poison that clings to your soul or you risk the chance of losing everything.
Mine started the minute Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet. She made me feel. Made me whole when all I thought I could ever be was incomplete. Became the lifeline I never knew I needed. Hell yes, she’s worth the fight…but how do you fight for someone you know you don’t deserve?
Love is full of ups and downs.
Heart stopping highs.
Soul shattering lows.
And none of them are insignificant.
Love is a racecourse of unexpected twists and turns that must be negotiated. You have to break down walls, learn to trust, and heal from your past in order to win. But sometimes it’s the expected that’s the hardest to hold on to.
Colton has healed and completed me, stolen my heart, and made me realize our love’s not predictable nor perfect—it’s bent. And bent’s okay. But when outside factors put our relationship to the test, what lengths will I have to go to prove to him that he’s worth the fight?
Whoever said love is patient and love is kind, never met the two of us. We know our love is worth it—have acknowledged that we were meant to be—but when our pasts crash into our future, will the repercussions make us stronger or break us apart?

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us." - Marianne Williamson
We live in a world of darkness and shadows,
where monsters hide and aim to ruin.
And they did.
They ruined us and turned our dreams into nightmares.
But now we're back.
And we're fighting.
Not just for us, or for each other, but for our light.

~So Much More Than 5 Stars~
“She turned her head and lifted her chin to face me.
Her smile caught me off guard. Our eyes locked. Then: Thump. Thump. But it was
different this time. Not nerves, or anxiety. It was like the world’s way of
telling me that I was alive, and to pay attention” - Logan
This is the third book in this series, and the whole
gang is back, thank God! I missed these characters too much. Amanda, Logan,
Micky, Jake, Cam, Luce, Ethan, Tristan they’re all back. This is book two of
Amanda and Logan’s story. It picks up directly where we left off in More Than
Her. I was heartbroken at the end of More Than Her and the heartbreak overflows
right into this next book. Jay McLean has brought these characters to life in
such a way to me, they’re real. I felt all of their pain, suffering, heartbreak,
frustration, longing, I need to stop there. I read More Than Him in two settings,
yep I said two.
While I was reading More Than Him I felt like a voyeur. Has
that ever happened to you as a reader? I get so engrossed in a story sometimes,
I feel like I’m in it, watching it play out in front of me...I was so entranced with this story, everything outside
of it faded away. The reasoning, I adore these characters, I have fallen in
love with each one of them. I bask in the hilarity of the conversations and
situations they find themselves in. The dialogue is beautiful, heartbreaking;
gut busting funny, haunting and realistic. Sometimes as beautiful as it is
dialogue in a story can seem scripted, in More Than Him, it’s so real and
unfiltered. For me, this makes it even more powerful and effecting. The agony
in parts is palatable and hangs thick in air. You can almost taste the fear.
Jay’s style of writing calls to me, as a reader and I am addicted.
More Than Him was extremely emotional and beautifully
written. We are given more insights into Logan’s past and his reasoning behind
his decisions. We watch Amanda struggle with her emotional scars and healing,
while missing and hating Logan. Waiting for these two to figure it all out is
painful and frustrating, but in the best possible way. I cried reading Logan’s
recounts of his past, his journal entries. His journal entries are touching and
made my heart ache. His self doubt, guilt, his memories, they are eating him
alive from the inside out. I wanted to hold him, and reassure him that it would
be okay. He broke my heart in his suffering. Logan however is finally diagnosed
with PTSD and undergoing treatment. Logan’s perseverance, loyalty and
determination are inspiring. Amanda’s ability to forgive, trudge forward and
love unconditionally will leave you in awe.
“You know, one day, baby, I’m
going to take your nightmares and turn them into dreams.” - Amanda
“He threaded his fingers through
my hair and moved it away from my face. “It means shadow passes, light remains.
You’re my light, Amanda. In a life full of shadows, and darkness, and monsters,
you’re my light. When the blackness fades and the memories subside, you’ll be
there. You’re always there.” - Logan
This is a wonderfully written love story. Logan and
Amanda’s love will touch you, deep down on a very basic level. It is love in its
purest form. It’s not perfect, but love is never perfect, it’s messy, painful,
and unrelenting. These two characters that against ALL odds should have never
made it to the other side, struggle and stumble to make it right, to be happy.
The point here, they try. They really try.
“He held me tighter. “We got a
lot of shit to work through.” “Yeah,” I agreed. “But once we do we’re going to
be amazing” ~Amanda and Logan
The ending is poignant and touching. It leaves you
grinning. I was warm and fuzzy finishing this one. I cannot possibly tell you
how badly you need to read these books.
“I loved them and will re-read them eleventy
three times.” - Angie

Be spontaneous, they say.
That's how I ended up on the back of a stranger's bike.
A sexy, tall, tattooed stranger, but a stranger nonetheless.
How was I to know that a chance meeting with this man, Xander Kane, was going to change my life?
