Focused on her work and devoted to her patients, there’s no room for love. She doesn’t need a guy making waves in her calm, serene life—especially when he’s the unforgettable hottie who nearly destroyed her in high school. Dark, brooding Nash Donovan might not remember her or the terrible pain he caused. But he turned her world upside down . . . and now he’s trying to do it again.</span></div>

Uncovering a devastating family secret has rocked his world, and now he’s struggling to figure out his future. He can’t be distracted by the pretty nurse he seems to meet everywhere. Still, he can’t ignore the sparks that fly between them —or how she seems so desperate to get away from him. But the funny, sweet, and drop-dead gorgeous Saint is far too amazing to give up on—especially since she’s the only thing in his life that seems to make sense.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>~My Thoughts~</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>5 STARS *****</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have loved the Marked Men series from Jay Crownover. Nash is the next chapter in this series and it does not disappoint. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Nash and Saint have both been through similar obstacles in their lives. Both feeling unwanted and not good enough. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Nash and Saint's paths have crossed more than once. Recently, at the hospital and in the past at high school. Nash doesn't remember much about Saint from high school, nor does he know about the extreme crush that she had on him that eventually caused Saint to experience life changing heart break. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now they meet again.This time while Nash's Uncle Phil is in the hospital battling cancer. Saint is a nurse and although she carries hatred for Nash, she can't deny the pull she feels around him. Nash is heartbroken when he learns about his Uncle Phil's fate and even more so once he realizes he has been deceived all these years by the one person he thought was always there and he could trust.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Despite wallowing in his own sadness, Nash is still there for his friends. His one saving grace is Saint. He isn't sure what it is about her but he needs her. He may look tough on the outside, but inside is a sweet man just wanting to be loved and wanted. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Read Nash and follow along Saint and Nash's journey to find what we all want, love. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Mia and Schooner have come a long way since their college days. They have been through so many trials and tribulations. Missed communications and jealous people have gotten in their way at finding true happiness together. But, once they get another chance through a Facebook encounter of all things, maybe their future together looks bright after all. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> When we begin Moore Than Forever, Mia has gone into labor early. Scared and anxious and without Schooner there to go through the birth of their son, Mia gathers strength from inside and their beautiful baby boy Nathaniel is born. Mia, BBC that she is, doesn't tell Schooner that she is in labor. Schooner has been in California, trying to get his son Zac straightened out and doesn't realize how much Mia needs him at home with her. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Babies bring such happiness and healing and Nathaniel is no exception. Once he is born, things start to turn around for Schooner's dad, Zac, and well....everyone. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> I think one of my favorite parts of the book was the trip to Zambia, Africa. Great personal growth happens here for a few characters. It's amazing how traveling to different parts of the world can change the perspective of your own life. When you see how other people struggle so hard for a simple thing like water. Things we take for granted in our everyday life. I was so overjoyed to see that Mia was able to experience the same feelings Schooner did when he visited all those years ago. They have the capability to make such a huge difference in those people's lives and they don't waste that. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> This final book takes Mia and Schooner from being a he/she to an 'us". They learn how to communicate with each other and read each other. They heal old wounds, get rid of the demons that haunt them, grow as people, and become a real family. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b>Synopsis:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">Hensley Bradley is the definition of the girl-next-door. She’s kindhearted, beautiful, and talented. Bored with her mundane life, thoughts of fleeing her small town begin to consume her. With aspiring dreams to use her voice as a one-way ticket, she suddenly discovers that music might not be her only passion.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">After a fallout back home, Colby Grant decides to leave his family’s farm, determined to show his father he’s more than just a wanna-be country singer. With his All-American good looks, it </span><span style="color: #222222;">doesn't</span><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> take long for girls in his new town to focus their eyes on him. But things </span>aren't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> what they appear from the outside, and it </span>isn't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> long until Colby feels he doesn't fit into the perfect world that so quickly embraced him. </span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A chance encounter places Hensley in Colby’s path, but it </span>isn't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> her natural beauty that first captures his attention – it’s her voice. </span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">When love and music mix, will the combination blossom into a beautiful melody or wither into a heart-wrenching tune?</span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b>My Thoughts:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> What would you do if your dream was to be a famous singer and one day you are given the opportunity to fulfill that dream? Only, it means leaving school, and the person you just started dating, who also happens to have the same dream. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Colby Grant lives on his families farm and he is miserable. Ever since a tragedy struck things have gone way downhill. His father has turned into a mean physical drunk and his mom is a complete wallflower. Colby needs to get away so he transfers to another college. He loads up his guitar and kisses his mamma goodbye. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Hensley Bradley is a guarded girl. She believes love is for losers and music is what drives her. She spends most of her time with her best friend Dusty and even stays at his apartment a lot of the time. She is just waiting for the day she gets her big break and can get out of town and no boy is going to stand in her way.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Hensley and Dusty sing on the street and in bars trying to earn as much money as they can for rent and to chase the big dream. One night they are playing in downtown Nashville and Hensley feels someones eyes on her. When she looks up her pulse races as they check each other out. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Her- <i>"I knew it the moment our eyes locked, and he listened as I sang. Not just to my voice, but to my soul. Colby Grant is going to be hard to keep at a distance..."</i></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Him-<i> "I know all too well that sometimes what we want and what we need are two extremely different things. My aspiring career is why I came here, but she just might be the reason why I stay."</i></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b>I ADORED Colby! He breaks down all of Hensley's defenses and makes choices, life changing choices, all with her in mind.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Hensley irritated me! I kept thinking, "Gah, can't she see how awesome he is!? What the hell is wrong with her? Why is she such a bitch!?!" </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>"What is it about those damn dimples that renders me speechless and irritates me? I can't put my finger on it, but it's like being around him brings out the giddy schoolgirl in me at the same time as the raging bitch that hides in my soul."</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b>Colby just happens to be Dusty's new roommate much to Hensley's surprise as this puts a damper in her plan to ignore the attraction she feels towards him. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>"Colby?"</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>"Yes, Sunshine."</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>"Why do you call me that?"</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>"Because my world was dark for a long, long time. When I first laid eyes on you, things seemed brighter for once."</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Swoon!!! I mean HELLO, how can you not fall for that???</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Easy, you can't. So, what happens when Hensley, Dusty, and Colby are playing at a bar one night and music execs show up? What if they only want one of you? Would you go if it was your dream? Would you discuss it with the others? And, if you do accept the execs offer, what happens now? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Nacole Stayton does not disappoint with In the Lyrics. You will be laughing, then screaming, then crying, then screaming again. Read it and find out what happens as Hensley and Colby find each other while chasing their dreams. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>~ MY REVIEW~</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> There are books out there that tear you up inside. They claw at your skin forcing you to feel just a little bit of the unimaginable horrors the character goes through. This is one of those books. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><i>"Can someone recover from meeting the devil in person, being violated and beaten by him, and then left for dead?"</i></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Thankfully, it has as much comic relief in it as sadness. You will be crying one minute and laughing your head off the next. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Genna Rulon has created an amazing set of characters who take care of each other and love each other with great passion. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Sam and Everleigh are what best friends are supposed to be. Sam has suffered so much with nightmares and trying to get her life back together after she was attacked. Everleigh takes care of her every step of the way. I loved how strong Sam was. She wasn't going to let her attacker win. She was going to survive and come out strong. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Each day becomes a little easier for Sam. Her therapist, who is awesome by the way, gives her homework. Things she can do to acclimate herself back into society and feel safe. While Sam still understandably has a few setbacks, she does very well moving forward. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><i>"You are one of the few with the bravery to walk through the fire, let it burn you to ash, and rise again, changed but all the more beautiful for it."</i></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Sam is worried that she will never get her libido back and after having a very healthy appetite before the attack she is saddened for the loss of it now. That is until Griffin comes back into her life.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Oh be still my heart! Griffin is a sexy bar owner who has admired Sam for a while but never acted on his feelings. Now that he has a second chance, he isn't going to let anything stand in his way. I loved Griffin. He was so kind, and thoughtful, and patient. He was exactly the kind of guy Sam needed. The connection between them is hot! And, the constant eye fondling made me giggle. Move aside ladies, I think there is a new book boyfriend in the house. Haha. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Seriously though, I loved this book. You know a book is going to be good when you can't put it down from the first page. Genna Rulon knows how to write a fantastic story and this one has it all; Drama, Humor, Heat, and Healing. I can't wait to read more from her.</span></span><br />

But all that flash and sass hide the fact that she’s never gotten over the way her first love broke her heart. Now she has a plan to make sure that never happens again: She’s only going to fall in love with someone perfect.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>

He’s stubborn and rigid, he’s bossy and has come back from his final tour of duty fundamentally broken. Rome’s used to filling a role: big brother, doting son, super soldier; and now none of these fit anymore. Now he’s just a man trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the demons of war and loss at bay. He would have been glad to suffer it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes the only color on his bleak horizon.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 24px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;"> What happens when you have a strong man who is used to taking care of his family, taking care of business, and used to being a hero, and then none of that is true anymore? You get Rome Archer. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">
<span style="line-height: 24px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Rome has just come home from his final duty at war to find that everything has changed. He is no longer needed to take care of his brothers. He has no work obligations. So he finds himself lost and drowning his sadness in the bottom of a bottle every night. Rome knows he needs to snap out of it, but with his PTSD nightmares, and lack of knowing what is next for him, he can't seem to let go of his despair.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 5pt; margin-top: 5pt;">

<span style="line-height: 24px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;"> When he meets Cora under interesting circumstances, he thinks she is a sassy little thing with a big attitude. Cora is the one that breaks Rome out of his funk and makes him smile and laugh. Their paths keep crossing and neither one can deny the intense attraction they feel towards each other. Cora has been hurt badly in the past and swore she would never let anyone break her heart again. Rome isn't her idea of a perfect man, not even close, but he may just be the perfect man for her. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><strong>SYNOPSIS:</strong></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">What good is running AWAY when you only end up lost?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">Cassandra Pierce had her whole "perfect" life planned out by her parents. One night of pure weakness and lust has her running away from it all and seeking refuge in Alamosa with her best friend. But it seems life has other plans for her when she finds herself lost in the small town of Keaton.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">Jason Bradley is a charming country guy. He lives a simple life that’s nothing like what Cassandra is used to. A single moment in life changed everything he thought he once knew, leaving him with a broken heart and an unplanned future.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">What happens in Keaton is nothing Cassandra or her heart could have ever prepared for. The instant connection she shares with Jason is no secret, but what they're keeping hidden from one another is. Will these two be able to find a way to trust each other or will their secrets tear them apart?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: black;">EXCERPT:</span></strong></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">Not a word was said as we headed in a direction we had yet to go in this town. I kept my eyes in front of me and Jason did the same. It was awkward and it was killing me, but I was hurt. He lied to me. He knew what was going on the whole time and made me believe I was hiding it from him. I wiped the tears that were slipping out in a continuous flow now as I thought of how he had to feel about me now, pregnant, lost, and apparently not as good of a liar as I once believed.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">“You probably think I’m a terrible person and I’m sorry I lied to you, but I was afraid. I was terrified of what you would think of me once you found out. I was scared of losing you and your friendship that I’ve grown to enjoy too much,” I said quietly as I closed my eyes, wondering if he even heard me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">“Look, I'm not going anywhere, you have to believe me. I want to help you; you don’t have to go through this alone. I know you have your friend, but you have me too.” </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">I looked over at him, his eyes still shying away from mine. “You should have told me you knew Jason. You shouldn’t have let me continue to hide everything if you knew.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">“It wasn’t my place to say, Cassie. <i>You</i> needed to tell me, but then tonight, seeing Jeff and his damn hands, I couldn’t take it anymore,” he said, his hands slamming down on his steering wheel. “I knew you would want answers so I just had to come clean. Listen, I’m not proud of what I did, but I’ll be damned if I let someone put their hands on you.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">“Where are you taking us?” I asked lost, hurt, and scared. I didn’t want to hear about his feelings, how he didn’t want someone else to touch me, yet he wouldn’t. I just wanted to run, go back to his house, and cry into my pillow.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">“You’ll see,” he said quietly.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">Before I knew it, we had arrived at what looked like a farm. I could only guess it was theirs. “Your farm?” I asked as he parked in front of a huge wheat field.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">“Yeah,” he said, finally looking at me. “It’s the only place far enough from the town that you actually feel far away from the world, I like it here.” He grabbed a blanket from the truck, the same blue quilt from his room as he stepped out. I did the same and followed him to the back, watching as he quickly spread the blanket across the bed of the truck before hopping down.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">“Give me your hand,” he said, reaching his out for mine. “Let’s take a walk and talk first.” I placed my shaking hand into his. We started walking into the field, the wheat stalks tickling the bare skin in between the boots and my dress.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">I followed him, our hands intertwined, as we got further into the field. It didn’t take long for the nerves to take over my whole body. I stopped and let go of his hand. I couldn’t take the silence anymore. “Jason, my heart is racing. I am so nervous right now. I just… I need to tell you what happened, I need you to know the whole story,” I told him.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">“I want to know what happened, Cassie, but only if you’re okay with telling me,” he said, his body facing mine.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">I wasn’t okay with confessing it, but he had to know. I just feared for what was to come after he heard it. I knew he wouldn’t be so inclined to help me anymore. He would think horrible things about me; I knew this, because I thought them myself.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">B.A. Wolfe is a girl with a passion for reading and writing, and lives in the good ol’ state of Colorado with her husband (her biggest cheerleader), and her two crazy min pin fur babies. These days, her life is anything but calm, and there isn't one thing she’d want to change. B.A. spends all her free time either furiously typing stories on her laptop or happily reading through her endless TBR on her Kindle. Her list of favorites would be long enough to fill a book, but most would likely fall under the romance category. She is a sucker for a good love story that makes her cry, and an amazing book boyfriend who will melt her heart. ‘Away’ is B.A. Wolfe’s debut novel.</span></div>

I want what you have, I want what you don’t have, I want more of what I <i>already</i> have. I want. But if you so much as ask for something in return, go ahead and walk away. Know if you want to play in my world, it’s every man for themselves and the weak become mine. Leeches will be obliterated because I make it my job to destroy them.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fisher Amelie is the author of The Leaving Series, Callum & Harper and Thomas & January. She began her writing career as a copywriter for an internet marketing company wherein one of their client's said, 'Hey! You're funny. You should write books'. Which in turn she said, 'Hey, get out of here! This is the lady's restroom.' While washing her hands and the embarrassment from her face, she thought they may have had a valid point. So, she took the thousands of hours of writing stories growing up, tucked them into her pocket and began writing and writing and writing.</span></span></div>

Acquire money, acquire material, acquire time, acquire energy, acquire attention. The running mantra is “I want, I want, I want” but that quickly turns to “I need, I need, I need.” Suddenly there just isn’t enough time for friends, for family, for anyone. Your goal is to acquire and to make sure what you acquire stays acquired. Your life depends on it. You don’t see truth because the truth is shadowed by enormous homes, incredibly fast cars, in lavish spending. Your life no longer belongs to you, but you are blind to it all because those around you are seeking the same.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>

He tucked his hands into his Italian silk pants. His six-foot frame followed the steps up to the foyer and stopped a few inches away from my own. We were face to face.

<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Synopsis:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After going from demon hunter to babysitter, seventeen-year-old SHADOW has truly hit rock bottom. One week he's slaughtering demons, and the next he has ten super-powered teenagers in his care. Shadow needs them, because without them he can't hope to defeat his new foe. But he's never dealt with other teenagers before. He never had a real childhood. He's always been a loner. Hell, he's tried the whole having-a-pet thing. It died.<br /><br />Shadow's mission: save the world and ensure his team survives the potential apocalypse. If MAEDARA, self-proclaimed fashionista and Queen of Evil, wasn't trying to rule the world, it'd be cake. Now, not only does Shadow have to deal with teens more concerned with going to the mall than fighting evil, but also a villain who, in his opinion, makes Lady Gaga look like Mother Theresa. </span><br />

<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>My Review:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Shadow is a dhampir- half human/half vampire. He is also on a mission. He needs to round up other teenagers with similar but different powers and train them to fight. They must go to Draconia Isle to try and stop whoever is trying to steal the Dragon's Eye. He runs into many challenges on his missions to find all the teenagers. Once he has them all, they begin training. At first, everyone living together is rough. They argue, and tease, and get on each others nerves as they are acclimating to their new living arrangements. If they are to succeed, they must put their differences aside and come together like family to overcome evil. They start to realize that they aren't as different as they think. Everyone wants to be accepted for who they are.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> This was my first YA Paranormal of this nature. When Michael Chulsky contacted me about reading and reviewing his book I thought the blurb sounded interesting and I was excited to read something different for a change. If you like reading books with vampires, and/or people with special powers then you should definitely read this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> I've had a few conversations with Michael through email about the book and his fantastic personality shines through not only in person but in his writing as well. I look forward to reading more from him in the future.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Writing has become such a big part of my life that it’s weird to think back to a time when I didn’t do it. I know that it all started in fourth grade when I randomly decided to make a little newspaper for my friends/classmates to read – you know, just for fun. I still can’t believe how positive their reactions were to it.<br class="kix-line-break" /><br class="kix-line-break" />I didn’t think about writing much after fourth grade. I was far too invested into video games and television to think about anything else. I still kept little journals and wrote down random details of my life. I also would draw little characters and pretend that they were real and imagine backstories for them. Little did I know back then, my imagination was trying to tell me something.<br class="kix-line-break" /><br class="kix-line-break" />In sixth grade, I had a hard time fitting in and I needed a creative outlet. It was then that I started writing poetry. I remember there was one assignment in my English class to write a poem and read it aloud to the class. I ended up writing a poem in which I described my disdain for school and took playful jabs at all of my teachers – playful jabs, nothing disrespectful. Everyone loved it, including the English teacher. It was then that I remembered how much I loved seeing the reactions to my writing. And I couldn’t stop.<br class="kix-line-break" /><br class="kix-line-break" />I continued writing poetry throughout middle school. I didn’t like to share my poetry with people, but when I did, I enjoyed their reactions and criticisms. It was a few years into high school when I started writing short stories and imagining up TDD. I knew that I couldn’t leave it inside my imagination – I had to make it real somehow. So after much encouragement from my friends, I began writing it.<br class="kix-line-break" /><br class="kix-line-break" />And that’s how it all began. =)</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">There were still lessons to learn and consequences for the truth!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">When Claire Nichols met Anthony Rawlings, she didn’t know they had a past, or that he had plans for her future.Over time, the role of teacher changed—games became reality—and domination turned to desire. Despite an insurmountable history, Claire and Tony found their way back to one another.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Just when they seemed to have it all—love, respect, and the promise of a family—the game master exposed the<span style="font-style: italic;">t</span><span style="font-style: italic;">ruth. </span>Claire’s world once again spun out of control. Unwilling to allow her child to suffer the consequences of an old vendetta, Claire fled...</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">At one time, Claire was held captive in an opulent mansion—then her incarceration was a cell inside a state penitentiary. Was her new prison—a tropical island—truly less lonely? Perhaps that was the game master’s plan, all along?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Who will save Claire from her oldest nightmare and her newest reality? Will it be Tony? Can he forgive her for leaving him—again? Harry? Will he utilize previously unknown connections to save the woman who infiltrates his thoughts? Maybe Phil? Will his devotion in keeping Claire and her child safe be rewarded?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">As the cards are played—sins of the past, innocent victims, and truths are revealed. With compartmentalization no longer an option, is the reality too much? Could there be an even worse isolation?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">With the game master dealing from a stacked deck, can this new high-stakes game possibly be won?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">When it’s all over and their cards are on the table—<span style="font-style: italic;">SOME </span>will discover their bets were too high—they have nothing left to lose—ALL will learn the crucial lesson—the most important rule—there <span style="font-style: italic;">are</span> CONSEQUENCES for the TRUTH!</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5 LAUGH OUT LOUD STARS!!!<br /><br /><br />Blurb:</b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: start;"><br /><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Love and Lists is the first book in the Chocolate Lovers spinoff - Chocoholics: The foul-mouthed offspring tell their stories. Twenty-five-year-old Gavin Ellis has always had the love and support of his family ever since he was a little boy and couldn't stop talking about his penis. He's also always had their unsolicited advice and uncanny knack of embarrassing him at all costs. Now that he's an adult and trying to convince the love of his life to love him back, things haven't changed very much from when he was younger. When Gavin's best friend Tyler suggests he make a to-do list of items that will ensure he wins the girl, Gavin is one-hundred-percent on board: after a few six packs. After puking in the shrubs, a bad experience with Viagra, a Sex-Ed course gone wrong, and a slew of other mishaps courtesy of his family and friends, Gavin is pretty sure this list will be the death of him. Sometimes, trying to make someone love you with a list isn't always the best idea. Especially when "Show her your penis..." is the first "to do" item. </span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">My Review:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>*Warning* - </b>Reading this book in any public place may cause you to be taken to the crazy house for excessive laughter and depending on how strong your bladder is, excessive peeing.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Ever since I read book one in the Chocolate Lovers series by Tara Sivec, I knew she had a gift for humor. Not only that, but she has a gift for making people happy, for making a bad day turn into a great one with just one chapter. I've been going through a bit of a rough time lately with my father-in-law being in the hospital with cancer and it's been a bit mopey around here. I knew there was hope as soon as I got my hands on Love and Lists. Not only was I extremely excited to read about Gavin as an adult but I knew that just by reading this book that my sad day would brighten up instantly. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br />Love and Lists, Gavin's story made me laugh so hard, I thought I was going to pull a muscle! I mean, look:</span><br /><br /><b style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><br /><i>"My penis is a pirate and I fight crime with a meat whistle sword. Who wants to pet my goat?"</i></b><i><br /></i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />But besides the laughter there is also a great story within and some of this:</span><br /><br /><b style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><br /><i>"I want her to love me. I want her to see me as something other than a friend. I want her to realize that we're soul mates."</i></b><i><br /></i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Jesus, and just wait until you read the Cheesecake Factory part. Holy hell on a biscuit, I almost choked from laughing so hard. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">If you haven't read any of Tara Sivec's books, you need to stop what you're doing and buy them all! Yes I said all, right now. You will NOT regret it. Even her serious stuff is freaking awesome. I am the proud owner of her previous books and I will be purchasing all of her future books as well. They could be about donkey's and I'd still buy them because if she wrote it, I know it will be fantastic. I can't wait to read more in this series coming soon!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /><span style="color: #f1c232;">Purchase Links</span></b></span><br /><br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Love-Lists-Tara-Sivec/dp/1492108421/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380859372&sr=8-1&keywords=love+and+lists" style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">Amazon</a><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"> </span><a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/love-and-lists-tara-sivec/1117005303?ean=2940148746430" style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">BN</a><br /><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"> </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">About Tara</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Sivec</span></span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Tara Sivec is a wife, mom, chauffeur, cheerleading coach, soccer coach, babysitter, shortorder cook,<br />genius and albino squirrel hunter.

Adult Contemporary Romance</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Blurb:<br /></span></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 22.390625px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Continuing the fight for their happily ever after that began in Searching for Moore, Schooner Moore and Mia Silver struggle to overcome the ghosts and baggage they accumulated during their time apart. Exploring the missing 24 years when they were separated, Moore to Lose follows Mia's journey from heartbroken teen to kickass businesswoman to her emotional reunion with Schooner and the exploration of the love that was ripped from them. But is their love really strong enough to overcome the damage of those missing 24 years or will they continue to be ripped apart by pasts that can't be changed? This is Book 2 in the Needing Moore Series trilogy and is not to be read as a standalone book. Searching for Moore is the first book in the series.</span></span><br /><br /><b style="font-size: xx-large;">My Review:</b><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br />I was so excited to read this book. I was so angry at the end of book one and NEEDED to know what the fate was of Mia and her unborn baby. In book two, Moore to Lose, we are taken back during the 24 years that Mia and Schooner were apart. I don't want to give away anything to ruin the story for anyone so this will be brief. Mia finds herself unable to get Schooner off of her mind until thankfully she takes a class and is partnered up with Rob Ryan. They confide in each other their past hurts and end up being best friends. It is this friendship that gets Mia through most of the year. We also meet a new character to the story, Professor Tom Sheehan. He plays a big part in this book. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Mia feels like Schooner has betrayed her and doesn't think she can move on. We see little bits of what Schooner is up to and also who has really betrayed them. Everything leads us up to when Mia and Schooner come back together through Facebook and then to present day. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Julie Richman is an incredible author who knows how to draw you in and not let go until the last word and then leave you begging for more. I love this series and can't wait for book three.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Purchase Links:</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Moore-Lose-Needing-2/dp/1492769339/ref=la_B001K90BTU_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1380641182&sr=1-2"><span style="color: #351c75;">Amazon</span></a><span style="color: #674ea7;"> </span><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18132425-moore-to-lose"><span style="color: #351c75;">Goodreads</span></a></b></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Dream Cast</b></span><br /><div style="text-align: left;">

But even the barre can’t steady her when fate brings her face-to-face with her old college flame, Mason, who’s hoping to return to the NFL after a career-threatening injury. Before they can surrender to their sexual desires and find salvation in each other’s arms, they need to come to terms with their past. Mason must confront the demons that have set him on a path of self-destruction, while Emory must decide whether to keep her painful secrets locked away, or expose them and risk losing the love of her life. But nothing can prepare Mason for what Emory has kept hidden, or the possibility that he himself may be to blame for the very secrets she keeps – and why they continue to haunt her.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold;">Links:</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Amazon</b></span><span style="font-size: large;">- </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/First-Position-ebook/dp/B00CDW3SDE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380122693&sr=8-1&keywords=first+position-+prescott+lane">http://www.amazon.com/First-Position-ebook/dp/B00CDW3SDE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380122693&sr=8-1&keywords=first+position-+prescott+lane</a></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Goodreads: </b></span></span></span><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17826980-first-position?ac=1"><span style="font-size: small;">http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17826980-first-position?ac=1</span></a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><b style="color: #f1c232; font-size: xx-large;">My Review:</b><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">When Emory was in college she lived for ballet. She was even accepted to a prestigious ballet company. Unfortunately, her boyfriend Mason has NFL aspirations that conflict with hers. After Mason breaks up with Emory she is devastated. Sadly, before she is even able to join the ballet company she is injured and can no longer dance at a professional level. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Fast forward six years...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">One night Emory is at a bar when she bumps into Mason, literally. She is shocked to see the man who broke her heart many years ago. He is in town to possibly get a new NFL contract after his old team let him go due to injury. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Mason knows he screwed up when he let Emory go all those years ago. He is unhappily married to a woman who only married him for his fame and money but what does he expect? That's the lifestyle he wanted...or so he thought. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">As they get to know each other again and catch up on each others lives, Mason can't shake thoughts of Emory. He is getting a divorce and a possible new location and decides he wants to be where Emory is. But can she forgive him for breaking her heart and choosing football over her? </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Mason keeps things from Emory, small things, that he doesn't feel she needs to know. Emory get upset when she finds out and asks him to please be honest with her about everything if they are going to try again. But, Emory is keeping a big secret of her own. Will she tell Mason? How will he react? She can't keep her nightmare's a secret forever. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I thought this was a good easy read and the author Prescott Lane is a sweet sweet lady. I want to thank her for her patience with me on this review. I was sent a copy of this story in exchange for a fair review but unfortunately couldn't read it when I wanted due to a family illness.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b> Synopsis:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><b> </b></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Keeping others safe is what Caleb Montgomery does. He’s never had a problem taking on an assignment, whether it was during his dangerous SEAL days or his most recent job of training war mercenaries. But being assigned to keep Brynna Vincent and her adorable daughters, Maddie and Josie, safe from an unknown threat has thrown Caleb off his axis. Hot for the tall brunette since she came back to town more than a year ago, being close to her day in and day out is cracking Caleb’s resolve to keep his hands off her gorgeous body and his head in the mission.</span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Brynna is sick and tired of being afraid. All she wants is a normal, quiet life for her and her precious girls. Just as she’s settling into her new home in Seattle and feeling safe again, Caleb shows up on her doorstep insisting the danger is as high as ever. But whether she needs to be sheltered from the threat in her past, or from the intense emotions she feels for the sexy, protective man sleeping in her home, remains to be seen. What will happen if Brynna and her girls fall in love with a man so broken he may not be able to protect them from the danger that threatens, much less himself?”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">SAFE WITH ME is the fifth book in the With Me In Seattle series, and continues to follow this tight-knit, loving family through life’s trials and tribulations with humor, passion and everlasting love.</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>4 Stars</b><br /><br /><br />I just turned the last page of this book on my Kindle and now I'm trying to get my thoughts together for this review.<br /><br />Melanie Dawn is an excellent writer. This book flowed nicely and everything came together as a good book should.<br /><br />As far as the actually story goes, I have mixed thoughts about how the characters handled certain situations and the ending itself. Being a stay at home mom myself, I definitely know the day to day stress it can bring. I know how many people think that stay at home moms have it easy and don't do much. I also know how that is completely untrue.<br /><br />This book starts off present day with Kaitlyn Thomas, a stay at home mom, needing a break from the endless day to day chores life brings. She decides to go away with her friends on a little getaway, a weekend escape to the beach. Little does she know that her past will be catching up with her while she is there.<br /><br />While at a bar, she runs into Chris King, a boy from her high school days who was there for her at a pivotal time when she needed him most. She realizes that the fierce attraction she felt all those years ago is still there. But what will she do about it, if anything?<br /><br />Her friends, wanting to know more about this mysterious man from Kaitlyn's past, ask her to divulge the information. In order to do this, she must go back to the beginning.<br /><br />The book then switches to her high school days, recounting the stories of her abusive high school boyfriend and when Chris King comes into her life and how he essentially saves her despite the consequences for himself.<br /><br />Kaitlyn really aggravated me with the way she handled many things. I understood some of her decisions but others made me want to throw my precious Kindle at the wall!<br /><br />Abuse is never okay, and I know its easier said then done but you should always seek help no matter the threat your abuser is using against you. Even if you are scared, try and be brave and get help.<br />There are people who will believe you. <br /><br />Abuse Hotline: 1-800-799-7233<br /><br />http://www.breakthecycle.org<br /><br />http://www.loveisrespect.org<br /><br />http://www.rainn.org<br /><br /><br />I couldn't tear my eyes off of the pages. I kept reading and reading late at night until I felt my eyes get so heavy I started to read the same line over and over with no comprehension.<br /><br />There really was no fair way for this book to end. Someone would end up getting hurt. I felt for Chris, he is such a great guy and he deserves so much goodness in his life. I felt for Kaitlyn and the choices she had to make. Although, I would have chosen a different ending, this book was an excellent read and I am eager to read more from Melanie Dawn in the future. </span></td></tr>

All she wants to do is relax and rejuvenate on her weekend escape to the beach. Having a drink at the bar with the girls sounds like the perfect way to unwind. That is, until Kaitlyn hears a familiar voice from the stage that shakes her to her core. She grapples with her memory until Chris King, the lead singer of the band, walks up to her and eliminates the questions in her mind.</span></span></div>

Forced to revisit a painful past from which she has spent years trying to heal, Kaitlyn's recollection of Chris awakens intense feelings that she has kept buried deep inside her heart. Has time changed him, or is he still the same person Kaitlyn fell in love with so many years ago? </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #ffd966; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I sat with my back to the stage. My friends and I were laughing hysterically at the fools we had made of ourselves during our poor rendition of Aretha Franklin’s song, Respect. Downing a few drinks prior to our performance gave me enough liquid courage to embarrass myself on stage. I had immersed myself so deeply in the conversation that I barely noticed karaoke had ended and a band had started setting up on stage.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #ffd966; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">In the background, a voice emerged from the microphone. “Testing…one, two, three. Testing…”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #ffd966; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The hair on the back of my neck stood upright. My body seemed to recognize the smooth and soothing voice, but my mind could not recall it. I quickly spun around in my seat and peered at the figure on stage. However, we sat too far away, and the terrible lighting in the bar restricted my view. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.0791666666666666; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #ffd966; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">“What’s the matter, Kaitlyn?” Shannon sounded concerned. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #ffd966; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">“That voice…it sounds so familiar. I’ve heard it before,” I stammered.</span></span></div>

Years of living up to a man who was more ghost than father, and a publicly failed marriage has left Logan cold and emotionless until he walks into an exam room and discovers a woman who can stop his heart, make his body burn with desire and leave his entire world altered.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">But how far are Clare and Logan willing to go for love? When their love is tested, is Clare ready to put her whole heart on the line again? Can Logan learn the true meaning of love, even if it means sacrificing his own happiness? When a second chance at love is given, Clare and Logan learn you never know if you are truly ready until you’re ready to risk it all.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><b style="font-size: xx-large;">My Thoughts:</b><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I LOVED this book so much! Jennifer sent me an email asking if I would be willing to read her book for a fair review. After looking at the blurb and the high reviews I couldn't say no. You always start a book with high hopes that what you are about to read will be great and be different than what you have been reading. This book exceeded my expectations. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> Clare was lucky enough to find love once and have a beautiful little girl but, fate stepped in and changed the whole direction her life was going. Not fully able to move on from her grief, she has mourned the loss of her husband Ethan for three years. Would she ever be lucky enough to find that kind of love again? She didn't think so and she was prepared to continue on single for the remainder of her life. Clare was still young and when Maddie gets sick and Hottie Mc. Hotterson, Dr. Matthews, walks into the room to take care of Maddie, feelings awaken in Clare that she hasn't felt in quite a while.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> Logan Matthews, son of a billionaire, and a mother that gave him up and pretty much forgot about him thinks he doesn't deserve love. He doesn't think he is capable of giving or receiving what he clearly needs. To cover up his loneliness he fills the void with meaningless one night stands. That is until he meets Clare Murray. Logan isn't sure what it is about her and her precious daughter but he is drawn to them and feels an overwhelming urge to protect them both. They embark on a passionate love affair that changes both of their lives for the better. </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> I fell in love with Logan the most when I read the way he was with Maddie. I think every single mother hopes that any man she lets into her life will love her children as much as she does. And, he does for sure! Swoon!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> When their love is tested will they be able to get through it, or will they both end up lonely and brokenhearted? This book took me through all the emotions one could feel while reading. I laughed, sobbed, yelled, and repeat. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I would definitely recommend When You're Ready by J.L. Berg. You will not be disappointed. </span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">P.S. I was so hoping half way through that Clare's friend Leah would get her story told and it turns out that she will next! I am a fan of J.L. Berg's writing and cannot wait for more!</span><br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">About the Author</span></b></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">I’m a California native, who lives in the South – Virginia to be exact. I still prefer sushi to fried chicken, avocados to okra, and I absolutely loathe humidity. I do love watching the seasons change though. My husband and I have been here for ten years, and I still get giddy like a school girl every time it snows.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">I’m married to my high school sweetheart. We were married young, barely out of high school. Everyone told us we were crazy and stupid. We’ll be celebrating 12 years of marriage this year, and I love him more every single day. We’re living proof that true love knows no age limit.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">We’ve been blessed with two beautiful daughters who continue to amaze and inspire me, and are probably making me go a bit insane. I’m obsessed with yoga and pilates and am a complete chocoholic. I apologize in advance for the amount of sweets in my book.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">I’m absolutely obsessed with romance novels (duh) and probably could have built a vacation home with the amount of money I’ve invested in them over the years. Romance novels take you to another place, making your heart race, emotions swell, passion run free. After so many years of meeting hundreds of fictional characters and discovering their worlds, I found myself creating my own.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">My debut novel, When You’re Ready, a novel about about finding love after loss, will be released August 1st!</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #181818; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #181818; font-size: x-large;">Book Links:</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/When-Youre-Ready-ebook/dp/B00E49HBKU/ref=sr_1_1_bnp_1_kin?ie=UTF8&qid=1378013714&sr=8-1&keywords=when+you%27re+ready"><span style="color: #351c75;">Amazon</span></a><span style="color: #351c75;"> </span><a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/when-youre-ready-jl-berg/1116058807?ean=2940148485704" style="color: #351c75;">BN</a><span style="color: #351c75;"> </span><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17906490-when-you-re-ready?from_search=true" style="color: #351c75;">Goodreads</a></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #181818; font-size: x-large;">Author Links:</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/authorjlberg"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Facebook </span></a> <a href="http://jlberg.com/"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Blog </span></a> <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7084780.J_L_Berg"><span style="color: #f1c232;">Goodreads</span></a></span><br /><br /><br /></b></span></span><br />

Then one night, while at dinner, she spotted someone who made her feel things she’d never felt before—dangerous, heart pounding and breathless heat. Thinking she would never see him again, she brushed it off, but when she started to run into him unexpectedly, all she could think of was how he made her feel with his sweet flirtations. Everything about Maxwell Knight screamed trouble, especially when she found out he was her new boss’s son. Now, heading to a New York fashion show, would she be able to focus on her career instead of Maxwell, who had been scheduled to attend with her? As much as she tried to forget their encounters, his good looks, smooth words and determination to win her over gravitated her toward him. The next thing she knew, her mind was utterly consumed by him. Would she be willing to ignore all the dangerous signs and jump into his arms? Or would she miss out on the chance of finding something great?</span></span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> My Review:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> This was a cute story about a girl Jeanella, who guards her heart because she has been hurt in the past. She goes for the safe guy that doesn't make her feel anything special. That is until she meets Maxwell Knight. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> Fate seems to intervene, and they happen to run into each other quite often before they even speak. His flirtations and gentleman ways catch her attention. She can't deny the chemistry she feels towards him. But what happens when she realizes who he really is? Follow their courtship and see if Jeanella will free her heart or end up a lonely lady.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> I liked this book, however some of the wording seemed off. Perhaps a little over descriptive as well, but overall a safe light read.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></b>
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;"><b>Suddenly, Max placed his hand under my elbow. With a slight tug, I was somewhat in his hold. With a light gasp and a wave of heat flushing through me again, I was lost in his eyes. He leaned in. “I had a wonderful time,” he whispered. “Thanks for being my lunch buddy.” Then he handed me the brown bag. “Lunch buddies share their feelings, stories, and even goodies.”</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;"><b>I radiated a huge shy smile and walked away. Needing that Rice Krispies Treat right that moment, I reached inside the bag. What I saw stunned me, and even tugged at my heart. He hadn’t broken it in half as I had expected. Instead, he had molded it into the shape of a heart.</b></span><br />
<b><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;"></span></b><br />
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;"><b>After that, I knew…unwillingly…I was making a space for him in my heart. Thinking he would be devouring his sandwich, I looked over my shoulder just as I pushed the door to exit. His eyes were set on me intently, and I got a glimpse of his wink that made me want to dive into his arms. I liked the feeling way too much!</b></span><br />

Sebastian Sorensen wants Serena more than ever, and he's willing to fight for it, even against a powerful foe like Price.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Holy dominance! Price Turnsby sure does know how to wield his power over Serena Singleton. But is that really the kind of life she wants? What about Sebastian Sorensen? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The Innocent starts off right where book one, The Protege, left off. Serena is trying to deal with a past the only way she knows how and falls into Price's web. Price is a crazy jealous, controlling, dominant man and Serena is his submissive. She wants to make him happy and will do anything to show him including some things that were quite shocking. I think I actually gasped a few times. Not my cup of tea but who am I to judge. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Serena wants to be a music composer and needs an advisor so she seeks out Professor Sebastian Sorensen. You can feel the attraction right from the start. Sebastian agree's to be Serena's advisor if she will go with him to a family function. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Sebastian wants Serena to be his and he will not give up trying to show her how much. When Serena and Sebastian go away for a few weeks, Serena learns things about Sebastian that brings them closer. But, is their two weeks enough to show her that she should choose to be with him? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What will happen when Price finds them? Read, The Innocent, and watch the two men fight over Serena and try to convince her that she belongs with him. </span></div>

She’s sweet, confident, beautiful—and single. With her thirtieth birthday sneaking up on her, she needs a new plan. No more Mr. Wrongs or Mr. Bads, it’s time to find Mr. Safe…<br class="kix-line-break" /><br class="kix-line-break" />Army Captain, Reed Porter, lives for the thrill—he’s an Airborne Jumpmaster with a rush addiction. He’s sexy and playful, and he quickly tempts Meagan with his rich Southern drawl and sinful looks. But slowing down and settling down are not in his agenda, making him exactly the type of man Meagan wants to avoid…<br class="kix-line-break" /><br class="kix-line-break" />As their undeniable attraction heats up, Meagan has to decide if she’s willing to risk everything on a chance at love with a reckless charmer. Is she brave enough to bet her future—and her heart—on Mr. Thrill? Or will Reed finally learn that the feeling of a safe landing is just as addicting as the rush of the fall?

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 36px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> This was a sweet story about Meagan, a girl looking for the right kind of man. The marrying kind. Safe, successful, someone who wants the house, picket fence, and 2.5 kids. Reed Porter is an adrenaline junkie who likes to have fun and doesn't seem to take much seriously. He just kind of goes with the flow and he isn't in a hurry to get serious with anyone. He doesn't think that kind of life is in the cards for him.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 36px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> When Meagan and Reeds paths cross, there is an interesting connection. One Meagan recognizes instantly. However, Reed isn't the type of guy Meagan needs in her life, in fact, he is everything but. Reed can't help the intense attraction he feels towards Meagan and he can't seem to get his mind off of her. No girl has ever affected him this way. But he isn't the marrying kind so Meagan decides they should just be friends even though she also feels an overwhelming desire to be with Reed. </span></span></div>

She toyed with the idea of her body curled next to him. It was tempting, and the thought was very appealing. She had slept in the same bed as Trevor many times—but she was afraid it wouldn’t be the same when she was lying next to Reed. Trevor could curl up behind her and wrap her up in his arms and she would feel nothing but content—no flutter of excitement, no wanton desire to feel more of him. But what if she did with Reed? Actually, she already knew the answer to that question—she would feel those things with Reed, she didn’t need to be in his arms to feel them either. But ultimately, her body’s cravings won out against her pesky internal need to weigh the repercussions. She wanted that contact, even if it was just lying in the same space as him, sleeping.</span></span></div>

Her life revolves around her family (to include two dogs and a cat) and most of the time, actually all of the time, it’s a crazy mess—but that’s the way she loves it! When Kelsie’s not writing, you can usually find her on the lake with friends and family or snuggling on the couch with her kids and a good book. Kelsie is not a morning person, has a soft spot for animals, loves musicals, hates seafood, and thinks laundry is the source of all evil.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span style="color: #f1c232;">"They say be careful of the quiet ones. A statement I never really understood to be honest. What is wrong with being quiet or a little on the shy side? It's a demeanor I use as a mask to hide myself from a world I don't feel like I fit into."</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b>I just finished, A Graceful Mess, and I'm kind of at a loss for words. What can I say that will convey how much I loved and adored this book? I just hope I can do it justice. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> There are some books that you read that are good but you breeze through them and can put them down and come back and it's no big deal. But, then there are books like A Graceful Mess. A book that kept my attention from the beginning. A book that created such deep emotions in me that I laughed and yelled and cried, I mean ugly cried. Yep. It's that good.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Grace Clearwater goes through life feeling vulnerable. She is shy and quiet and doesn't like to be in large crowds or out of her comfort zone. She keeps a small number of people by her side and she doesn't deviate from that. Grace hasn't had it easy. In high school, her boyfriend, Brody, seemed normal at first, but then the beast within came out and damaged Grace beyond belief. Brody was sentenced for 10 years in jail. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Parker Porter...holy hell...this man can come into my bed anytime! Parker is taking over the family private investigator business from his father when what he really wants to do is open a gym. His first assignment is to follow Grace Clearwater around so that she doesn't cause trouble for aspiring mayor Mark Jacobs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Parker's father and Mark Jacobs warn Parker to not get too close to Grace but Parker can't help the connection he feels when he meets her. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">"My eyes watch Grace, step by step. My throat feels dry, so I take a swig of my drink and allow an ice cube to rest on my tongue and then I suck on it. The coolness of the small square cube in my warm mouth does nothing to quench my thirst."</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Parker tries to stay away from Grace. He knows he's lying to her and that can only end badly. She is just supposed to be an assignment, nothing more. However, the closer they get, the more he doesn't care about his assignment, and only cares about his love for Grace. They have a chemistry that cannot be denied. And, let me tell you, Nacole Stayton knows how to write one hell of a love scene! I had to turn on the fan a few times! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> A series of events unfold that I won't giveaway but you must read the book so that you can experience the same emotions I did. Find out what happens when Grace learns things about her past she had forgotten and the heartbreak that ensues. My mouth dropped open a few times and my hand covered over it in shock at what was happening. This book does have an ending and you won't have to wait for another book to find out what it is!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I loved The Upside of Letting Go, Nacole's first book, but with this book, I believe she has grown even more as an author and I know readers will love it as much as I did. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Claire Nichols endured the CONSEQUENCES of Anthony Rawlings’ vendetta. When she first arrived to his home, her goal was survival. Through strength and compartmentalization Claire captivated her captor. Her resilience in the face of his rule threatened Anthony’s well developed plan. Domination became desire and power turned to love. Their passion and adoration in a world of opulence appeared perfect. Yet, reality was a roller coaster of emotion. Claire’s world teetered on the edge of sanity as Antony monitored her every move. When given the opportunity to flee, Claire drove away. A fateful decision which set a well laid plan into motion. However, unbeknownst to either of them, there were others who saw past the perfect facade of Anthony Rawlings. There were others who saw the TRUTH. Conspiracy and unfulfilled promises result in an early prison release for Claire. Not just a release – a pardon. According to the law, her crime never happened! Will it be that easy? Faced with freedom from her past... can Claire seize it? Can she build a new life, mend her broken spirit, become the woman she once was, and seek her own revenge? Or is it all a game? And does the game master have different plans? How does Sophia Burke fit into the puzzle that is Tony and Claire? Will her presence affect the future of this well esteemed man? Can he dominate twice? Is that his goal? TRUTH continues the tumultuous saga of CONSEQUENCES, introduces new players, and uncovers more intrigue. Aleatha Romig skillfully weaves past transgressions through current deception to create a fervent world of obsessed desire. In this reality can an all-consuming relationship survive? When buried sins are discovered they threaten not only Tony and Claire’s future -- but their very lives! Will the TRUTH be revealed in time?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gabrielle Ginsberg was a public defender with plenty of nerve and Braden Pierce was an assistant district attorney with a whole lot of swagger. Gabrielle wanted Braden and Braden wanted Gabrielle.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And Cameron wanted Gabrielle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And Marla wanted Braden.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And Cole wanted Gabrielle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> And Mrs. Mason wanted Braden.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And an anonymous letter writer wanted to keep Gabrielle and Braden apart. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Together Gabrielle and Braden discovered many important things, like which doors at the courthouse actually locked, and that desks could be useful for more than writing. They also found out that the path of love was not always smooth, and it was sometimes trod upon by some really wacky people, like a confused fanny grabber, an eighty-two year old pothead and a gentleman who threw a wine and cheese party in his pants. Could true love overcome a lack of privacy, interference by jealous rivals and the insanity of the criminal court system? </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: xx-large;">My Review:</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh my freaking hilarious! This book! You will be laughing your butt off! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gabrielle is a public defender...which pretty much means she doesn't have much of a chance of winning any cases...but she surely does try. Gabrielle comes up with all kinds of kooky reasons why her clients shouldn't be prosecuted. I don't know how Braden keeps a straight face when against her in court. Perhaps it's the sizzling attraction they have towards each other. Gabrielle's lack of filter had me rushing to the bathroom from laughing! (I've had two kids ya'll!) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Their friends are also fantastic and make excellent wing men and women. Then there is also, Gabby's mom and Bubbie (Grandma)...they are a whole other conversation! (Conversations of oral at the dinner table...yes I'm serious!)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you like to read a book that has a fun love story with lots of humor (who doesn't?) then you NEED to read this book!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>About the Author</b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Once upon a time ... N.M. Silber was a criminal defense attorney who got up each morning, donned her power suit and sensible pumps, downed a gallon of coffee and set out to "fight the good fight" while trying to not go insane. Having a dark sense of humor and a sarcastic wit helped -- a lot. Another thing that helped was reading. As escapism was the goal, she liked to read romance novels, especially really funny ones and really sexy ones. Then one day something beautiful happened -- she read one that was both funny and sexy at the same time. She hung up her power suit, put away her sensible pumps and moved her coffee mug to her computer. Now she writes funny and sexy romance novels herself and she lives happily ever after.</span></span><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><br /></b><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> My Review</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anika (Inky) Redding is a broken tough girl. Her childhood wasn't exactly filled with happy times thanks to her mother and Joe. (I wanted to punch her mother in the face for the things she allowed and even told Joe to do to Inky!!!!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Inky decided one day that she had had enough and she left her mother's condo and never looked back.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, she is in a relationship with a boy,Evan, that she has been "in love" with forever. They started as friends first, her always watching him leave with a different girl from the bar she works at. All of a sudden Evan decides he wants them to be together exclusively and within two weeks they are engaged to be married.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Warning bells were going off in my head when I read this!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To escape her nightmare's and to deal with her abusive past, Inky paints. She paints beautiful works of art in her art studio to find solace. Painting is the only thing that can make her forget. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Inky has the greatest best friend named Aimee, who has been there though it all. Aimee is the one that consoled Inky after she was abused when they were younger. She is one of the few people who know everything Inky has gone though. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> EVERY GIRL SHOULD HAVE A BEST FRIEND LIKE AIMEE! Seriously! Especially how she kicked ass at a certain point in the book...you'll know what I'm talking about when you read it. BEST.FRIEND.EVER!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> While working one night at the bar, Inky meets Cole. He is a sad, lonely, heart broken man. However, there is something about him that draws Inky towards him and vise versa. He can comfort her like no one else before. He shows her how to cope. However, he has past demons of his own, mainly his father. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> J.B.Hartnett is a brilliant author and her writing style will keep you glued to each page to find out what happens.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> When both of their pasts come back, can they lean on each other for support? Read Inky and find out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">*Warning* This book does end in a cliffhanger. (Dang-it!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to know what happens next!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be stalking you for book two J.B. Hartnett!</span><br />

<span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>“Please…” I begged. The way he spoke and the words he used, I wanted him more than ever. I felt him move to my feet, straddling the end of the chaise. He was stroking his cock harder and hissing between his teeth. “Come for me. Come for me so I can put my cock in you and fuck you hard and finally make you scream, Anika. Come for me.” His words were like fire igniting my flesh. I came at his urging and as soon as the first shudders of my orgasm began, he thrust himself into me, hard and deep. “Ah, Cole, yes…please, please.” I felt the second wave begin as he rammed against me, his sweat dripping onto my face as we came together. He cried out my name, almost a roar and I’d never heard anything more erotic and sexy in my life. I wasn’t sure if I did indeed scream but it was beyond amazing. He collapsed against me, panting and breathless. “God, what you to do me. How did you know I’d like that?” “Lucky guess?” I replied trying to catch my breath.</b></span><br />

Julie is a Southern California native, a fan of a really good story (preferably romance with a happily ever after), really good pie (preferably pumpkin) and copious amounts of coffee (preferably Folgers).</div>
<div>
She has always enjoyed writing and at one time thought she could be a singer songwriter...the 'writer' part is the one that stuck.</div>
<div>
Julie is obsessed with pi...the equation(and the food). She's allergic to cats and cantaloupe and hates mushrooms...so if you ever want to give her a gift, those are out for sure.She currently lives with her own romance hero husband and two boys in Melbourne, Australia.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">A party ruined my life. It was supposed to be all about making a name for myself and showing everyone that I was the new kid on the block, but my wife was in the background and she left me.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">When I got home from shooting the day after the party, I thought she would be there waiting for me with a home cooked meal like always. She had told me she wanted to keep something normal while everything else was so make-believe. But when I came in, all that was there was a note:</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">"I'm leaving. I hope you have all the successes you've ever wanted. I won't be along for this crazy ride. Goodbye.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I didn't believe her when she said she would leave. I thought she was just mad about all the girls in the house. I never thought she could really just be gone.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> After I read that note, I tore the house apart. I ran through every room yelling her name and then I grabbed the phone and tried to call her over and over again. When she didn't answer, I called her parents. All Mrs. Parker would tell me was that she was safe and really upset. She said she was sure we could work things out, this was just the first of many fights married couples have. But she was wrong. Katy never came back home to me.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So I started drinking. I drank and drank until I could hardly move anymore. Mitchell Fallon said he was going to fire me if I didn't get over it because she's "only a girl" and there's plenty more where she came from. But he never got it. She's still more than just another girl to me, she's everything. And I blew it.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">One morning I woke up and made myself think with a clear head. I was going to find her. Filming was on a break, so I took a few days and I drove home to my parents' house first.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">"Sweetie, are you sure you're alright?" my mom asked me for the hundredth time after I got there.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">"Yes. Because I'm going to find her, Mom. I have to. I'm going to go talk to Mr. and Mrs. Parker and make them understand that I need her! I'll apologize and Katy will come home with me."</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">My parents exchanged a look and I sighed with frustration. "Look, I'll be back later."</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I walked out, hopped into my car, and sped down the route I knew by heart until I got to Katy's child hood home. I tapped my fingers on the steering wheel until I had the courage to get out and walk up to the door and knock.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

"Liam."</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

I wanted to sound like I meant business but it came out more as a plea.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">He shook his head looking down at the ground. "I'm sorry son, I can't tell you that."</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I glared at him. "She is my wife! I have every right to know where she is!"</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">He glared right back at me and stepped closer. "And she is my daughter. Do you have any idea what you put her through when you took her to that city? All you did was party and you forgot all about the wife you had that was right there with you!" He yelled through clenched teeth.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

"Hello, Liam."</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Tell me where she is so I can fix this," I pleaded with them.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Mrs. Parker looked at me sadly as she stepped forward and took my hand. "Liam, sweetheart, she needs her time." She turned to look at her husband. "Katelyn's not in Nevada anymore."</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

"She left the state? Just up and left?" I shouted, frustrated, and started pacing.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Now." Mr. Parker glared at me. "You're just going to cause a scene, and I doubt that's real great for your… what do they call it in Hollywood? Image?" He shook his head. "Go on back. If Kate wants to come back, she will."</span></span></div>

What if I already screwed this up too bad?" I gulped and looked down at my simple black wedding band. When we ran off to Vegas to get married right after graduation, our parents were furious. But we were in love and this was supposed to be forever.</span></span></div>

Any free days I got, I was going to spend contacting Katy's friends and family that I had information on. One of them was bound to know exactly where she was. Or maybe Katy's parents would slip up when they were talking to my parents. They're best friends. My parents are practically Katy and her brother Derek's other family. They couldn't keep her away from me. I just had to hope she'd come around. “We've known each other our whole lives, she has to know how much she means to me,” I thought as I smacked my fist against the steering wheel and turned into our very empty home.</span></span></div>

We got along good, and he liked to hang out-- especially since everything that had happened with Katy.</span></span></div>

"Not good. She's not even back home. She left the state. Her parents won't even tell me where the heck she went!" I kicked some rocks from the driveway into the grass.</span></span></div>

"I do. This city makes me different. I'm not the Liam that came from a theater in Nevada anymore. Here I'm Liam Warren, movie star, and I feel like I need to act the part." I ran both hands through my hair and squeezed them into fists. "I just forgot to stop acting when I came back home."</span></span></div>

"You need to let go. I know you don't want to," he added in when I gave him a look, but he just shrugged. "Come out with me tonight. Mingle with some of Hollywood's newest and brightest. You have noticed your co-star, Alexia right?" He raised an eyebrow at me.</span></span></div>

"Our pictures are all over the place right now, we can just bypass all this," he motioned to the lines. "You know what Mitch always says about the paps. Any publicity from them is good as long as we don't destroy anything." He shruged and pulled me up to the front of the line by the bouncer.</span></span></div>

Immediately we were handed drinks, and I took a quick glance to see that it was beer before taking a swig and following behind Scott to a table in the back. Sitting there was Alexia Dalton and another actress I can't remember the name of.</span></span></div>

She raised an eyebrow at me suggestively and leaned in a little closer, until she had pressed her lips to mine and for a minute, I froze. But the alcohol was flowing through me, and it had been a whole year since I'd had the comfort of my wife, and I need this; I deserved this. I could find another way to be happy. I let myself kiss her back and smiled flirtatiously as I pulled her up out of her chair. "Let's go."</span></span></div>

As we enter, he quickly stands and smoothes down his suit. "Mr. Adams, Mr. Warren," he reaches his arm out to shake our hands, "It's a pleasure to meet you. Would you like a tour of our school grounds?"</span></span></div>

Anywhere I go, if I catch a glimpse of a girl with long brown hair, I always stop to see if maybe--just maybe--it's Katy. I know it's a really long shot, but I've never stopped looking. She's always in my thoughts and I can't ever just forget her like she seems to have forgotten me. </span></span></div>

She's holding onto the hand of a tall guy with cropped brown hair. She has the same hairstyle as Katy, too... the same one she's had her whole life, since she always refused to cut it much shorter or dye it. My heart is pounding. There's no way, right? Here in Georgia on some itty bitty college campus?</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> She really wants to piss me off. "I NEVER cheated on you, Katy!" I yell as Scott wanders over with the bodyguard. Perfect timing, guys, I think as I look over my shoulder at them.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Freaking laughing at me! "Maybe you didn't then, but since then? I've seen all your magazine covers, Liam! How many "girlfriends" or, hell, just one night stands, have you had in the last four years? I'm not Katy Warren anymore. I'm just normal Kate Parker again. And I've moved on and just want to forget that I was ever married to someone like you!" she yells back at me.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Katy grabs hold of the boyfriend guy and turns to go, but I'm too mad to let her. I run over and grab her elbow and turn her back around to me. "How many men have you had, Katy? How many have you dated or had flings with since we've been separated? And a guy like this?" I point at her boyfriend and shake my head. "You know your Mama must be so disappointed. You could do so much better."</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

"Shut up!" she yells at me angrily. All I can do is stand there, tense, as I feel all kinds of emotions rolling through me. "Lucas is great, thank you very much. He’s never hurt me like you did. The only one my Mama has ever been disappointed in is you! So please," she says as she starts to storm away again, "do me a favor and stay on your side of the country in L.A." </span></span></div>

I just keep standing there, watching her in shock, unable to move. "By the way," I hear her yell over her shoulder as she and the boyfriend--Lucas, apparently--take off, "I want a divorce!" </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.1500000000000001; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> She has a boyfriend, she just freaking slapped me in public, and she says she wants a divorce? Oh there is no way that is happening, because seeing her in person just reminded me even more how much I love her, even if she hates me.</span></span></div>
