"Patience"

Jenna Ryan is the kind of girl everyone wants for a friend. Her spunky and carefree outlook on life often leads to trouble of the best kind. She's not afraid to speak her mind, and when it comes to her friends, she's fiercely loyal and protective. When she met Eric, she knew immediately he was her forever, but why was he holding back?

Eric James is the epitome of a Greek God. He parties hard while trying to meet the expectations of his overachiever parents. When he met Jenna, sparks flew, and he knew he'd met his match.  But Eric is hiding a small secret. When Jenna finds out, these two will embark on a wild and hilarious journey to torture each other into submission. Who will win? And who will learn the true meaning of... Patience?***Patience is a Jenna and Eric novella with approximately 30k words. It can be read as a stand alone but is much better after reading Choices or Fate.

Jenna

When I finally spot him sitting at a table in the corner, my heart stutters, pounding in my chest as he takes my breath away. With his chin-length blonde hair and stunning blue eyes, he is the epitome of perfection. His eyes scan the crowd as he lazily tips his beer back, his throat smoothly gliding up and down with each swallow. He sits there, watching the crowd while he talks to the guys, and has no freakin' idea how much I want him. It should be illegal to look like that.

When I move into his line of vision, his eyes narrow on me, piercing, as if he's mentally undressing me. I walk to him, slowly, swaying my hips seductively. He can't tear his eyes off me. I wanted to drive him wild, and I succeeded.

"I've been waiting for you." I can't really hear him over the music, but I read his lips. There must be something about wanting what you can't have because his lips are suddenly more appealing than they've ever been. I can't look away, even when they turn up in a knowing smile. He caught me, and he knows it. "Now I see what took you so long." His eyes slowly move down my body, lingering on my feet, before traveling back to my face.

When he wraps his hand around my waist, his thumb grazing the exposed area, I look into his eyes. They are smoldering, filled with promise, and I know this little plan of mine is backfiring.

I so suck at revenge.

Quincy pulls out a chair and sits, her movement bringing me crashing back to reality. "You like?" I ask, holding my hands out to my sides and turning in a circle.

"Like? Sunshine, if we weren't right here, right now, I'd say to hell with the bet and then I'd show you just how much I like." He lifts a hand, slowly wrapping a strand of my hair around his finger and releasing it. "I think I still might."

"Precious Consequences"

All it took was one night to change the rest of my life. 

One night that created irrevocable consequences. 

But some consequences aren’t all bad.

They can be amazing…beautiful… Precious.

I willingly accepted those consequences and wrote a new plan for my life. But that plan didn’t include Cameron Argent – the sexy-as-sin tattooed playboy who got under my skin the moment I laid eyes on him. I was headed down a dark and dangerous road where he was concerned and in the end, our relationship was inevitable. Despite our dark secrets, our feelings for each other burned brighter than a thousand stars and left us both naked, vulnerable.

But when my past came rolling back into my life like a Summer storm, I wasn’t sure if his love for me was enough. 
Was he prepared to deal with the consequences of a past I couldn’t regret or would he walk away with my beating heart in his hands?

Excerpt 

“You need a ride? I’m heading over to the University anyway.”

She thinks it over. “You’re not a serial killer, are you?”

I throw my head back and laugh. I can’t help myself. She asks the question so seriously. Is she for real?

“What gave me away?” I ask between my fits of laughter. “Is it my tattoos?”

Her lips lift into a shy smile. “Sorry,” she giggles. “I didn’t mean to offend you. I wasn’t expecting help from a complete stranger.”  Her eyes drift down my body, paying special attention to my ink.

“None taken….” I wait for her to give me her name.

“Oh, sorry.” she says flustered. “Hayley. My name’s Hayley.”

I smile, watching her cheeks flush. “It’s nice to meet you Hayley.”

Her eyebrows lift, and I suspect she’s waiting for me to tell her my name in return. “Well?” she urges. “Don’t you have a name?”

I chuckle. “What kind of serial killer would I be if I gave you my name?”

She rolls her eyes but I can see the smile playing on her lips. “Can you at least phone your friend so we can have my car taken to a garage? Please? I’ll worry about you killing me later.”

"Wrecked"

“There would be no happy ending for us. He was too damaged. I was too broken.”

Two years ago, Lorrie’s mother was murdered. But that wasn’t the end of it. Reeling from the tragedy, Lorrie’s father spiraled into alcohol, depression, and finally suicide.

The two most important people in Lorrie’s life are both gone but she’s still alive.

Trying to recover from the tragedy, Lorrie returns to campus, ready to pick up the pieces of her life. All Lorrie wants is to get back to “normal.”

Then she meets Hunter. The man, the legend, “the Hammer.”

Hunter is a cage fighter who takes on every fight like he’s got nothing to lose. His life is a tangled mess of girls, booze, and fist fights. And while it may seem like he’s got a devil-may-care attitude, he’s fighting a private cage-match with a monster he can’t defeat.

Lorrie knows that Hunter is the exact type of guy she should stay away from, especially in her fragile state, but Hunter has other ideas.

As Hunter and Lorrie grow closer together, will they be able to overcome their pain and heal each other? Or will they both end up wrecked?

**************

Lorrie returns to college after take a few years off to try to get her world back in order which is hard after loosing both of her parents. She meets Hunter when he has an accident and he saves her. She runs out on him upon this first encounter

Then for about 60% of this book I wanted to beat the crap out of her because she just wouldn't give Hunter a chance and she was frustrating me beyond belief. When they finally gave in to their desires things were off the charts! Really could two people have that much sex lol. Just as things were going well it all explodes and goes to shit.  I have yet to see things go so badly in a book. Now I was pissed at Hunter! Hunter holds his secrets close and when you finally find out about them you will be heart broken. The ending is sad and pretty much a cliff hanger. Book 2 is due out early 2014. 

"Lovely Vicious"

Seventeen-year-old Isis Blake hasn’t fallen in love in three years, nine weeks, and five days, and after what happened last time, she intends to keep it that way. Since then she’s lost eighty-five pounds, gotten four streaks of purple in her hair, and moved to the Buttcrack-of-Nowhere Ohio to help her mom escape a bad relationship. 

All the girls in her new school want one thing – Jack Hunter, the Ice Prince of East Summit High. Hot as an Armani ad, smart enough to get into Yale, and colder than the Arctic, Jack Hunter’s never gone out with anyone. Sure, people have seen him downtown with beautiful women, but he’s never given high school girls the time of day. Until Isis punches him in the face.

Jack’s met his match. Suddenly everything is a game.

The goal: Make the other beg for mercy. 

The game board: East Summit High.

The reward: Something neither of them expected.

Excerpt

“I paid the fee, if that’s what you’re here about,” Madison starts. Jack looks to her, smile flashing on for a moment.

“Let me talk to her. Give me one second.”

“Okay,” Madison giggles. He grabs my elbow and pulls me in the other direction.

“Is that how you kissed me?” I ask, nearly tripping as he pulls me along. “Golly gee, it looks kind of mildly fucking embarrassing! No wonder up my appointments - ”

“Whoa, I think you overestimate me, shitlord. Last time I checked all I did was be in the wrong place at the right time. I saw you and had to - ”

“Stalk me.”

“ - delicately approach you. In a sideways manner. From behind. Without being seen at all. For ten minutes.”

“Why are you even out? I thought you were sick.”

“I was. See, it’s this thing called an immune system -”

He holds up his hand and rubs his eyes. “Okay, stop. Shut all systems down and just. Stop. Talking.”

“Why?”

“It’s annoying.”

“That’s never stopped me before!”

“Why did you follow me?”

“I was…curious?”

He looks down at the jar of frosting I clutch in my hands. “Are you eating that out of the can?”

“Are you the king of stupid questions?” I fire back. “Of course I am! Frosting is the ambrosia of the gods. God, if you’re into that religious thing. Are you religious? Somehow I get the feeling the only church you’d join is the church of self-worship. Your body is your temple. Work it, boy.”

“What are you saying?” He snarls.

“You’re blabbering!”

“At least I’m not whoring!”

"I'm working right now, okay? I’m getting paid. So you need to just piss off and go to whatever immature party you were going to in the first place.”

“How’d you know I’m going to a party?”

“The receipt for red plastic cups sticking out of your jacket. Your eyeliner. Girls don’t make eyeliner wings that big unless they plan on drinking.”

“Touché. You’re smarter than I gave you credit for.”

“And you’re far more annoying than I first suspected. If I’d known you’d stalk me like all the others, I never would’ve kissed you, even as payback.”

“Seriously, you kiss everyone like that though! It was nothing special.”

“Exactly. It was nothing special. So back off and leave me alone.”

********************

I stayed up all night and read this book in one sitting it's that good!
It's a high school setting and there is no sex but I hope that doesn't detour any of you from reading it.
The banter between Isis & Jack is out of this world. Isis is Hilarious & the things that come out of her mouth is probably what wouldn't let me put the book down because I wanted to know what she was going to say next. Isis has gone through some bad stuff for a teenage girl. She seems to tell is like it is & she meets her match in Jack Hunter. Jack is too good looking for his own good. He is the "Ice Prince" all cold & unemotional. Jack has had bad stuff happen to him as well making him the way he is. Isis's attitude is melting the "Ice Prince" but things are a mess to say the least. Cliff Hanger ending. 2 more books in the series.

Quotes:

"I wake up in Satan's buttonhole. Everything is white-white walls, white beds, white light. Or Narnia. It could be Narnia. Did I die and go to Narnia? Because that would be rad. But then I see the IV attached to my arm and hear the steady 'beep-beep' of my heart monitor and all hope deflates out of me quickly. Nope. Satan's buttonhole, aka a hospital."

"War? No, I'm not fighting anybody. Well, I have to fight on a daily basis not to marry myself, but no. I'm not at war with anybody."

"Entangled"

Things heat up, and not just the Georgia summertime, when Dane and Laney go head to head over plans for her new duplex. But Laney's got his number, and knows just how to coerce her bossy, domineering man. Spend the summer with the gang and find out...just how many is a crowd? 

The members of the Evolve Crew are getting older; so is the content. Mature audiences recommended.

**************

First off I loved "Emerge" & "Embrace" & I can't wait for "Entice" but I was not in love with "Entangled" it was to mushy - To many 'I love you's ' but on the up side there was a lot of hot juicy sex. Something is up with Sawyer , which we will find out all about in "Entice". Dane has plans for Laney that don't work out but I think he is over thinking it so we will see if he will eventually move forward with the plan in the next book.

"Beautiful Broken Mess"

When life's always been a mess, can you still turn it into something beautiful?

Jace Riley’s close connection with his identical twin brother, Jaxon, is put to the test when he tries to choose between keeping his promises and following his heart. Is this girl that still haunts his dreams, even after four years, really worth it? Jace can’t help but wonder if he made a huge mistake all that time ago when he let her walk into someone else’s arms, especially since that someone was his twin.

Audrey Mills often wonders at what point she should throw her hands up in defeat and allow all of the horrible circumstances of her life to overtake her. Despite the demons she has faced, however, something inside her won’t give in. When she leaves her small town in Texas to attend college in California, Audrey runs into the one guy who could make her or break her. But is the past they share too painful for them to overcome?

This is the second book in the broken series. While each book can stand on it's own, it's recommended you read Beautiful Broken Rules before Beautiful Broken Mess.

************

Holy Moly this book - this Series - is FANTASTIC!!!!

In "Beautiful Broken Rules" we get a taste of Aubry and well we hate her but this is because we are only seeing a small glimpse of her. I fell in love with her within the first few pages of this book. The tragedy that is her and Jace is frankly sad and down right ridiculous on Jace's part if you ask me. It's too bad they lost so much time but I suppose it was the road that had to be traveled so they could end up where they are. Lots of hot juicy steamy sex-nothing ranching. Again things are starting to go well with these two, mostly there is one thing still hanging out there, then bam something tragic happens and blows it all to hell. Now it's time for Jace to step up and fight for what he really wants. We get to hear about about Jaxon & Emerson's relationship as well as Quinn & Colt. Finally we are introduced to Lane and I can't wait to hear his story in 2014!

"Beautiful Broken Rules"

What happens when you create rules to keep others out?

One thing Emerson Moore has come to terms with is that she is the school slut. She knows her way around a frat house and how to get what she wants. She doesn’t make any excuses for her actions and she doesn’t pretend to be anything different. She is who she is and with that she knows how to have a good time. She’s made rules to keep relationships at bay and avoid the demons of her past.

When her best friend, Cole has his two friends from back home move in with him she begins to think she has met her match with Jaxon Riley. Jax is the perfect mixture of tattooed muscle and a sweet-talking mouth. With “hand” written notes, a voice that exudes sex and knowing just how to get under her skin, Jaxon learns how to break all the rules. But will he just end up breaking her heart anyway?

************

I loved this book! Emerson has a 'I don't give a shit' attitude -especially about her sexual prowless . Jaxon well he is the full package- hot, motorcycle riding football player. When Jaxon first meets Emerson it's epic. He has his work cut out for him with Emerson because her heart it locked tighter than Fort Knox . Finally when things seem to be going great for these two it all comes crashing down and when it does it will bring tears to your eyes it's that heat breaking. Fabulous ending .

"Sweet Home"

At age twenty, Molly Shakespeare knows a lot.

She knows Descartes and Kant.

She knows academia and Oxford.

She knows that the people who love you leave you.

She knows how to be alone. 

But when Molly leaves England's grey skies behind to start a new life at the University of Alabama, she finds that she has a lot to learn — she didn't know a summer could be so hot, she didn't know students could be so intimidating, and she certainly didn't know just how much the folks of Alabama love their football.

When a chance encounter with notorious star quarterback, Romeo Prince, leaves her unable to think of anything but his chocolate-brown eyes, dirty-blond hair and perfect physique, Molly soon realises that her quiet, solitary life is about to dramatically change forever…

***********

This book was a page turner. I have read similar books but love them all just the same. 

Molly isn't your gorgeous hot blonde college girl she is your nerdy, glasses wear brunette who wears orange croc's! Molly has a much easier time confiding in Rome than he does her. When Rome's secrets finally come out OMG they are a doozie! It's a wonderful book on how two lonely souls find each other it's just will Molly stop running to realize Rome is her soul mate. Lot's of hot spicy sex. Fantastic ending.

"Finding You"

'I will always take care of you'

My pain started when I was just ten years old, it was the day my mom got that dreaded phone call. Life has never been the same....

'I will always protect you'

I am all kinds of broken....

I have known Logan White since forever, he is my brothers best friend and my secret protector. I used to have nightmares that drew me into a dark place and when the nightmares got too much, Logan was by my side. The nightmares are few and far between now, but my life is centered around the tragedy of my past. 

Logan is the definition of 'man whore', with girls lining around the block to drop their panties at the click of his fingers. But after an unexpected moment things change. Now Logan is somebody else; hot, sexy and so damn delicious and I want to know him. Desperately. 

But then there is Angel Walker who is far from the angelic nature of his name, with eyes so hypnotic that I lose my inhabitation’s just by staring into them. But he is a broken man who just screams sin. He doesn't want to protect me or care for me, He just wants me. 

Do I want the man who can cut through all of my pain or the man who could cause me more?

Fists will fly, hearts will shatter and desire will be fueled.

***********

Holy Moly you will want to be locked in a padded room when you get to the end because you are going to scream , Kick & even throw things it's a hell of a cliff hanger!

Now that doesn't mean you shouldn't read it yet because I truly believe it's cliff hangers are good for us it keeps up wanting and wanting is a good thing!

As for the rest of the story its a gut twister. A love triangle that is complicated- I mean they always are but this one definitely has a twist. So mid way I figured out what the "Boom" was going to be and I was right However there is a big a twist to that "Boom" that I would have never never seen coming.

I love all the characters in the book- it's hard to hate any of them. There a bunch of things that go haywire in the beginning that I thought was keep Neva & Logan apart but then when Neva's reason's come out I sympathize with her and get why things go the way they do. Angel he's a hot bad boy that loves the ground Neva walks on. There some hot sex scenes -nothing detailed or raunchy. 

Ending well I already went there -Cliff hanger.

"Unspoken"

Whore. Slut. Typhoid Mary. 

I've been called all these at Central College. One drunken night, one act of irresponsible behavior, and my reputation was ruined. Guys labeled me as easy and girls shied away. To cope, I stayed away from Central social life and away from Central men, so why is it that my new biology lab partner is so irresistible to me?

He's everything I shouldn't want. A former Marine involved in illegal fighting with a quick trigger temper and an easy smile for all the women. His fists aren't the danger to me, though, it's his charm. He's sliding his way into my heart and I'm afraid that he's going to be the one to break me.

Impulsive. Unthinking. Hot tempered. 

I allow instinct to rule my behavior. If it feels good, do it, has been my motto because if I spend too much time thinking, I'll begin to remember exactly where I came from. At Central College, I've got fighting and I've got women and I thought I was satisfied until I met her. 

She's everything I didn't realize I wanted and the more time I spend with her, the more I want her. But she's been hurt too much in the past and I don't want to be the one to break her. I know I should walk away, but I just can't.

**************

This is the second book in the 'Woodlands' Series -
I did not read the first one "Undeclared" yet but I will be very soon!
This book was Awesome! Bo & AnnMarie come from messed up families they just have to find away to share so that they don't feel alone in the world. Once things get going with these two there's no stopping all it comes out and all the wrongs are made right. Lots of Hot Sex scenes.
Fabulous Ending. I can't wait for more in this series because I know we will get some glimpses of Bo & AnnMarie.
