♥ Synopsis ♥

Grace Rivers is your everyday twenty-five year old. She could have the world at her feet, but instead chooses to help run the family business. After experiencing great loss early in her life, Grace values what's most important: her family and friends. But she aches to find that certain someone—that one great, passionate love who values family as much as she does.

Cole Tierney loves his life. He has a wonderful family, a loyal best friend and a successful career as an ER doctor. The only downside is he wants someone to share it with. After being used and left heartbroken, he wants to find someone who will love him for him and not his or his family's status.

"Every beat my heart makes is for you. Every time it beats faster it's because of you—because you're near me, because of your smile—because you take my breath away."

Their two hearts collide by chance and an undeniable connection is quickly made. But when others are plotting against their happiness, will their love flatline, or will the rhythm of their hearts continue to beat as one?

Born and raised in Sydney, Australia; she is a city girl at heart but loves the laid back lifestyle of living in country New South Wales.

Title: Hit the Wall (Blythe College #2)

Author: Rochelle Paige

Genre: New Adult Romance

Release Date: March 10, 2014

Cover Designer: Kari Avasha at Cover to Cover Design

 

Jackson thought he knew what love was and feels like he missed his chance at happiness. He realizes he wasted his chances by chasing after one-night stands instead of going after what he really wanted.

Kaylie knows what loss feels like and doesn't want to take a chance on love. She puts up walls to keep her heart protected from experiencing that kind of pain again.

What happens when a guy who refuses to lose out again meets a girl who resists him as much as she can? Will Jackson be able to hit the wall Kaylie has put up and knock it down?

 

“What the fuck?!” I heard as the door was thrown open. My jaw dropped at the sight of Jackson Silver in Sasha’s room. I never would have thought he had it in him to care enough about any woman to get into a shouting match with her the way he blew through all the girls on campus, except maybe his sister and her best friend. Not that I didn’t totally get why so many girls went crazy over him with his tousled blond hair, wicked blue eyes and insanely hot body. But he was the epitome of love ‘em and leave ‘em, never spending more than a few nights with the same one.

“Ummmm…” I stuttered in response.

“You don’t want to get in the middle of this, little girl,” he growled at me.

I glanced at Sasha, who was standing behind him with tears streaking down her cheeks. She was usually so perfectly put-together, but she looked a total wreck right now with her hair mussed up and mascara smudged everywhere. She wasn’t my favorite person in the world, but it seemed like she could use a little bit of help right about now.

I absolutely adore reading - always have and always will. My friends growing up used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.

I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream as long as you are willing to work for it.

When I told my mom that my new year's resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me "About time!"

I cast no illusions or offer fake apologies—I don’t pretend to be a good guy. I’m a businessman, and a biker. Silver Serpent MC are my family; the only people I care about. The day I set eyes upon the sweet perfection of Cleo Price I knew it would be one sale I’d enjoy. Too bad I didn’t stick to my own rules: No using the merchandise. No getting caught. And above all else--no going against family. *** A story of lawlessness and sin. Brutal and raw and completely unapologetic. Not suitable for people who don't enjoy violence, non-consensual sex, and harsh language.

Book title: More Than Him

Author: Jay McLean

Series: More #3

Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance

Release date: January 28, 2014

Hosted by: Forever Me Romance

"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 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
