the drifter cover reveal (1)

Blurb

 

To the outside world, Kray Brooks had it all growing up.

Wealth. The devoting parents.

The beautiful girlfriend.

Good grades.

 

All of it a lie, except her. The woman he left behind thirteen years ago to try and achieve his real dream… to become a musician.

 

Life doesn’t always go according to the plan you set out for yourself.

Sometimes, you drift. Become lost, lose hope and crash.

 

For thirteen years he’s been drifting wherever his guitar takes him, avoiding his past. Never thinking of his future.

Not once did he think it would all catch up to him. Until it did.

Excerpt

“You in there or what?” Josh nudges me with his hip. His finger rises up to tap me on my temple, startling me out of my slumber. I stumble forward, damn near tripping over a guitar case that’s sitting on the edge of the sidewalk. I should be paying attention to where I’m going. There are many people here singing and offering up some sort of trick for money up and down this strip. Only the ones who can carry a tune catch my wandering eye for more than a second. Not that they all don’t deserve my attention, but the people who sing have a raw, natural talent. I become lost in their voices. Attuned. Familiar. There’s no sweet, tender, or rough and seductive voice close by. Therefore, whoever owns this particular case isn’t singing, or otherwise I may have pulled Josh to a sudden stop to listen before tumbling over it like an idiot. “Shit. Sorry about that,” I tell the man I notice standing up against the brick wall without looking at him. This is what I get for thinking about things I shouldn’t. “It was my fault,” Josh comments as we both bend down to shove the few dollar bills that fell out back into the case. The man behind us just mumbles something incoherent. I instantly feel worse for some reason. He’s worked hard for this money. In the heat no less. And here I am, scrounging around to make sure I gather it all up while assholes walk around me not giving a shit there are two people squatted down on the sidewalk. They just step around us, not bothering to offer help. Insensitive assholes. I reach into my purse and toss a hundred-dollar bill inside the case. I know most of these people spend their money on booze and drugs. I don’t care. Well, I do, really. They should be using it wisely. But who am I to judge? I only wish I could have heard him sing before we walk away. The talent they have is remarkable. It’s sad, really, how I enjoy listening to them sing on these streets for food, a home, or more than likely a fix of alcohol or drugs. I can’t help it; those voices carry me away. Some of them are truly mesmerizing. Wasted talent on a dirty street. I’m sure some are runaways with dreams shattered and hopes burned. This is the only way they know how to survive. The Hollywood record producers should listen to some of these talented people instead of shoving their lying butts into the faces of the fake boob Barbie to either get in her pants or rake her back over hot coals, sucking as much money out of her as they can. If only the rich would seek out the poor. To lend a hand to those who only think life has fed them nothing but shit. For these people to see that no matter how bad your life has been, if given the chance or a choice, you can become whoever you want to be, even if you’re alone doing it. I turn to the man whose face is darkened by the way he stands. His face is completely out of my sight with his chin tugged down to where it’s almost touching his chest. One black, shiny-booted foot rests up against the wall. His jeans hang low. He’s wearing a faded gray t-shirt that, if I’m correct, was black at one time. It also looks way too small, because my god, is it tight across his massive chest. He has shoulders any woman would love to reach around and grab as he lies on top of her. I’d give anything to see his face. To hear him sing. To observe and dissect his talent.

TBRreview

Reading this book just mad me want to reach in, hug Kray and smack some self confidence in him. His parents really did a number on his self esteem as a kid and the 13 years since haven’t changed it.

Purely by chance, Rori shows up in Las Vegas where Kray is living now. Rori is the woman he left behind that he has never forgotten about. 

Rori is a less than emotional woman since Kray left. He left and took her heart with him. Rori runs into Kray and while she hates him, she still loves him.

This story was a good read that makes you believe in fate and second chance love!

4.5 stars!

review.png

I LOVE baseball books! And I love John Hughes movies and useless bits of trivia. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

Alice is just amazing. She left Ohio from an oppressive mother who wanted to basically keep her in bubble wrap from exploring the world and growing up. Alice heads to South Carolina, with a job with Boeing. She starts living her life. Finally! She goes to baseball games and bars which is how she meets Dutch, Andy and Rafe. She wants to soak up learning and the world, so she has a tendency to Google everything she has a question about. Which makes me love her even more.

Rafe is the quintessential baseball player who is immediately interested in this quirky, useless fact spouting, Nerd girl, Alice. She worms her way into his life until his whole focus is on her. She is the one who helps him get his head into the game when he’s distracted by other events. She is the one he thinks of and wants to rush back to as soon as the game is over.

This is definitely a book I will be purchasing in paperback and getting signed at the next signing I see her at. And I just bought a copy for a good friend who has a similar book taste as me.

5 stars!

Blog Tour ~ Underwater ~ by ~ Maayan Nahmani

Title: Underwater
Author: Maayan Nahmani
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 26, 2016

In an instant, my world turned upside down

Because of one incident, my life will never be the same

Every day I struggled to breathe

Every day I went through the motions

I felt too much

I was numb

I was drowning

I was lost inside the black

So they made me go there

I was already there, watching from the dark

And then I met him

And then I saw her

He scared me to death

She took my breath away

He was darkness

She was my light

They whispered he can’t be touched

She was the only one I could touch

I couldn’t be with him, they needed me

I fucking needed her

So I told him I would be his friend

I told her I would be her friend. For now.

But I couldn’t resist him for long

She finally realized that she’ll always be mine

We were a hot mess

We were the perfect kind of mess

Then reality dawned on me

Then my demons broke loose

I was underwater, trying to break through to the surface

I reached out my hand, trying to pull her to shore

Could he really help me?

Would she accept me, scars and all?

This was us

This was our storyAuthor’s Note:

“This book is based on true events and contains sensitive subjects that may be a trigger to some readers, such as violence, abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder. It also contains a parent with cancer. It is recommended for ages 18 and up.” Safe. No cheating/OW.

“Aria?”
My body tensed, as I watched the motherfucker who’d touched her coming our way.
“Oh, hey Brian.”
His tall frame loomed over her while he stood with his hands inside his front pockets. He was built, and if I were a chick, I would probably think he looked decent. He had curly blond hair, blue eyes and tan skin. He looked like a freaking copy of a Ken-doll. Fucking cliché. I hated him already.
“We’re all going to have a drink at a nearby bar. You wanna come?”
I didn’t want her to go anywhere with him, but if she decided to go there was nothing I could do about it. All I could do was bite my tongue and pray she would say no.
“That’s sweet of you, Brian, but I can’t today. I’m sorry.”
“Oh, yeah… sure. Maybe some other time?”
He looked disappointed, yet hopeful she would say yes.
Did I mention I hated this fucker?
“Yeah, maybe,” she mumbled.
He smiled, nodded, and turned around, leaving with the rest of the group waiting for him.
“Fucker,” I said under my breath.
“What?”
Shit. “Um… nothing.”
She looked at me with questioning eyes. ”What’s going on?”
I sighed. “Don’t date him.” The words tumbled out of my mouth without permission. I winced, knowing I sounded like a fucking mental case.
“Whoa… who said I was going to date him? He was just being friendly.”
I laughed humorlessly. “That guy doesn’t have one friendly thought about you. I can promise you that.”
I didn’t have friendly thoughts about her either. But right now, the thought of her with him – or anyone else for that matter – made my blood boil.
She shook her head. “You’re overreacting, but alright, I won’t date him. Geez… happy?”
“No,” I growled.
“What?” She sounded annoyed.
I didn’t care. I was on a roll. My hands settled on either side of her chair, caging her in. “I don’t want you to date anyone else.”
“Excuse me?”
Fuck. This was not going well.
“I need you to promise me that you won’t date someone else. I said I would be your friend, and I will. But you need to know…” My head inched closer until I was in her face. “I want more. I want you. I promise I’ll wait for you until you’re ready for me. But please…” I pleaded. I fucking begged, “Don’t date other people. I couldn’t bear it.”
I am twenty-six years old and I live in a small town in Israel.
My family and I were going through some difficult times not too long ago and one day I was confiding in my best-friend about everything. I didn’t know how to deal with it all. Then she suggested I should write a book about it. I looked at her as if she had grown another head and dismissed the idea on the spot. But the seed had been planted, and day after day, little by little, without realizing it – I started writing.
That’s how Underwater was born.
I found writing to be cathartic, healing.  Something that helped my mind unwind and put things in perspective. I discovered a magical world where I traveled between imagination and reality. Writing became my home and I never wanted to leave.
I love to read, write, listen to music, edit videos, and play the guitar. I am always looking for the next creative thing. I also like a good movie and a glass of wine.

Excerpt
THE SICKLY YELLOW lights reflected off the metal tables in the sterile room. Where

there should have been noise, there was only silence for me.

Silence and the sight of my own bloodied, dead body.

My red-gold hair shimmered in the light of the fire surrounding me. Clay, the man I

loved, clasped my body as his tears overtook him. He refused to let go even as his

brother, Ethan, tried to pull him away from the flames. Blood from the wounds in my

chest and back was smeared over his face and arms, and smudged into his nearly black

hair.

The sight confirmed I’d committed the ultimate betrayal: I’d left him.

I wanted to comfort him, but without my voice it was impossible. There was so

much I needed to tell him before I left. That I loved him. That despite everything we’d

been through, he’d brought happiness to my life I’d never expected. I wanted to explain

there was something more important than him and me—my daughter.

The child who would rise from the ashes after the flames consumed my body.

The image fell away as the fire raged hotter.

Darkness took hold, gripping me and squeezing tight. The sunbird pleaded with me

to let go. To be free. To join with my mother, with my ancestors, and pass the baton on to

the next generation. My child would be safe with Clay, and I was ready move on.

Peace filled me.

A pinprick of light broke through the inky dark that I’d sunk into. The sunbird urged

me to ignore it. To focus on the certainty that my time had come. Only, the light wouldn’t

be refused. When I shifted my attention to it, a flash filled the darkness around me,

flooding my vision with a bright apple-green.

With the darkness gone, a new sensation overtook me. Pain. Panic. Confusion.

Flashes of the moments leading up to my death rushed through me. My drive to

keep Louise safe from the harm the Unseelie fae, Caelan, intended to cause. Clay and

his father fighting over the gun. The crack of a gunshot.

I burned again at the memory of the fire in my chest as the bullet tore through my

heart. The ache of death ran through me again, and the green light grew in intensity once

more.

Through the pain, there was something new. A soft voice whispered to me, calling

me back. Not the sunbird, someone new but familiar all at once. She spoke words I didn’t

understand, but they compelled my attention. They overrode the sunbird’s

instructions—tried to push her away. They beckoned me backward instead.

To a wall of red.

Of fire and pain.

The sight of the barrier terrified me, but I could do nothing to react. I was separate

from everything. Floating. As I moved closer to the wall, agony coursed through me. My

chest tightened. I felt cold.

Danger lay that way.

Come with me, the sunbird whispered. You will be free of the pain; it is your

daughter’s time.

She called for me to abandon the wall, to head into the darkness. I’d been so ready

to until the apple-green light. Until the other voice.

Now . . .

I reached out with my mind, trying to figure out what was beyond the barrier.

Something told me it was important.

“I . . . I can’t lose her.” My focus snapped to the wall when I heard another voice.

Clay’s.

He was on the other side of the barrier. Even though I’d been calm, ready to move

on, hearing the heartbreak in his tone made me want to fight my way back to him. If only

to reassure him he’d survive this.

Evelyn, the sunbird called, urging me away from the wall. Away from Clay.

Once more I had to choose between moving onward into the darkness or turning

and fighting through the fire to get to him. Only the fire was too strong, too fierce. The

pain too intense.

The sunbird, who’d convinced me to stay last time, now wanted me to move on.

It’s time, she called.

Book #1: Through The Fire

Through the Fire 1400x2100 300dpi

Blurb

Life could have been different for Evie Meyers. If only she wasn’t a freak.

She wouldn’t be hiding from the Rain, a secret organization intent on destroying all supernatural creatures. Neither would she have run from Clay, the object of her desire.

Her hope for love and a normal life shattered when Clay stumbled onto her biggest secret and revealed one of his own in the process—he’s a soldier for the Rain. Learning that Clay was a threat to her survival, Evie had no choice but to flee.

Now Clay’s back—battle-scarred and mysterious—and the attraction between them is undeniable. Stuck on opposite sides in the war between humans and the supernatural, there seems little hope for a happily ever after. Caught between what her heart wants and what her head knows, something has to give. What will she choose? And what price will she have to pay?

Excerpt

When I arrived at the Met, it was after nine. Hundreds of people were flocking out of the front doors. I was panting. My eyes searched the crowd in desperation for her. I hoped I wasn’t too late. Finally, after the crowd had thinned, I spotted her. She was wearing a drab gray wool coat and a striped knit hat along with a new pair of eyeglasses that were almost identical to the ones she’d left at my loft. She looked worn-out as she trudged down the steps. Fuck. Maybe something was wrong with her. I mounted the steps two at time, hoping to meet her half way.“Allee,” I shouted out to her.

Her mouth dropped open when she saw me. She galloped down the steps, attempting to run past me, but I caught her and held her firmly in my arms. She squirmed, trying to break away, but she was no match for my strength. I studied her face. Her eyes were painfully sad and her cheeks were sallow. She had lost weight.

“Get away from me, Madewell,” she begged. There were tears in her eyes.

I didn’t let go of her and, in fact, squeezed her tighter. “Why haven’t you returned my calls?”

“Madewell, please! Let go of me.” Her voice was watery and desperate.

“No, you’re not going anywhere until you answer my question.”

“I don’t belong with you. You’re too good for me.”

“No, baby, you’re too good for me.” I pressed her even tighter against me.

Thunder roared in the night sky.

“Please! I’ve gotta go home and get ready for a massage client.”

Maybe she had just been overworking. Fuck her client. I tugged hard at her ponytail that hung out from under her funky hat. “You’re coming home with me.”

“I can’t.” She blinked back tears. “You don’t understand—”

“Stop it!” I crushed my lips against hers, hushing her, and pulled her down to a sitting position on the step where we were sparring. She couldn’t resist my assault. Her tongue hungrily met mine, and a hot bolt of energy surged through my body.

Lightening flashed, and another loud burst of thunder followed. The sky opened up, and torrential rain fell upon us. But it didn’t stop us. Soaked, our embrace deepened, the warmth of it fending off the icy chill of the pounding drops. I don’t know how long it lasted, but she was the first to pull away. Wet streaks rolled down her cheeks… tears, not the rain.

“Why me, Madewell?” she asked, her voice hoarse and strained.

“Because, Allee Adair, I’m suffocating without you. You’re the air I need to breathe.” Cradling her in my arms, I removed her rain-streaked glasses and brushed away the shimmering rivulets dripping down her face. Just the mere touch of her infused me with light.

She looked deep into my eyes, hers still watering. “Oh, Madewell, I’m so afraid.”

“Afraid of what, baby?” I held her tear-drenched face in my hands.

Her lips quivered. “That I’ll hurt you.”

That wasn’t possible, I thought as I swept her into my arms and carried her down the rain-soaked steps, my lips never leaving hers.

***

I carried her straight into my bathroom steam room. She was shivering wet. I set her down and rapidly peeled off her drenched layers of clothing. I removed mine just as fast. She let me wrap my arms around her naked body and hold her close to me as a cloud of steam warmed us. Tears were still streaming down her beautiful face, mingling with steamy mist. I sealed my mouth over hers and kissed her deeply and passionately. With my lips still covering hers, I lifted her up off the water-coated tiled floor.

“Wrap your legs around me, baby,” I breathed into her ear.

She did as I asked, twisting her long limbs around my waist like a pretzel. I carried her to the edge of the steamy room and pressed her against the dripping wet back wall, just high enough so that my cock could shoot easily into her glorious pussy. Her arms wrapped around my shoulders.

“Baby, I’ve missed you so much.” I studied her angelic face, made dreamy in the steamy haze. My lips latched onto to hers and pressed into another deep, tongue-driven kiss. Her velvety breasts skimmed my chest. I groaned as my length grew between my legs.

“Oh, Golden Boy,” she rasped as my mouth released hers. “Make me come.”

 

TBRreview
Going in to this book, I should have realized that it would cause an emotional upheaval. I mean the title, Undying Love, and the description:

A Love Story for this generation and perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes’s Me Before You and John Greene’s The Fault in Our Stars, this heart-wrenching romantic novel brings together two people who couldn’t have less in common or more to share.

It should have given me the clue that this would bring out the emotions. But I still read it before bed last night. And into this morning. Which makes getting up at 5:45am so much more fun.

Anywho, I LOVED this book!! Ryan and Allee’s banter and relationship was just so all-consuming. I was heartbroken at 12:15am when I finished the book. Yeah trying going to sleep after that!

It was such an amazing story! I only wish there was more!!

 

 5 stars!

“A rock star with no rhythm is a man with no soul.” – Stone Lockhart

 

As the lead singer of one of the hottest bands to hit the rock scene, fucks are free, drugs come easy, and music is life.

For as long as Stone can remember, Willow has been his music – the notes that weave his soul together.

His rhythm.

Until he threw her away.

All he has left is a handful of pills and a few lines of powder to make him forget her.

And he tries, over and over.

 

Clean and ready to make things right, he’s faced with the fact that Willow’s moved on. She’s not the same girl he cast aside. Willow’s a woman sure about her purpose in life. Sure about who she’s meant to love.

Stone may be lost without his rhythm, but Willow has found so much more.

Excerpt

 

Willow isn’t a performer. She’s too honest and pure for that. She plays and sings with her heart. If she’s mad, she sings angry shit. Happy, she smiles throughout the whole damn song making you smile too. But I know the moment I hear the chords of “Over,” this set she’s working on is all me. She can’t see me in the corner here, but she sings for me nonetheless, and I feel every fucking word. Every last note as she pours her heart out. This is a Willow that was always reserved for me. She never wanted to be in the spotlight. We begged her to be in the band and not just help write the music, but she said no, over and over. But when it was just her and I, this was the Birdie I got. We would play for each other for hours, late into the night, sometimes it would lead to us fucking, and other times it was because we had just finished, our bodies sated, but our souls still full of passion and adrenaline. A naked Wills wearing nothing but a guitar is the most beautiful fucking sight in the world and just thinking about it now makes me hard.

 

“Stone? Babe? Wake up, I can’t sleep.” I can hear her but can’t make my eyes open to see her. The bed shifts and then dips. Willow straddling my lap has my eyes opening slowly, blinking the sleep away. I suck in a breath when I can finally focus. My beautiful Birdie is sitting astride me, completely naked except for her brand new custom Martin. Her fingers lovingly stroking over the fret board. “I wrote you a new song,” she whispers excitedly. Peering up at her, I can see the excitement on her face, the love in her whiskey-colored eyes. As she starts playing I shift. My bottom lip clamped between my teeth I gently tug the sheet lower down my legs inconspicuously. She begins singing and I feel a lightness wash over me. Her words like a balm on my now overly heated skin. Every time she opens her mouth, beauty pours from it, and I have the urge to fill her. Fill her any way that I can so that I can touch that music. Be her music the way she’s mine. Entranced, I watch as Willow falls into her zone, eyes closed, face intense in its peacefulness. As she hits the bridge, her voice raising an octave, I slip inside her. Pussy wet, always so wet when she gets like this, I thrust. Her eyes don’t open, but she softens, all of her relaxing into me. When I begin rocking back and forth, slowly, rhythmically in sync with the chords she plays, she falters for a beat. Gradually her eyes open, landing on mine just long enough for me to see all the love from moments ago turned to lust and a deep, needy want. She’s close. Thank fuck.

Careful to not bump the guitar, I slide my thumb to her clit and play her, same as she plays her Martin. Silently we make music together as her song envelopes us, breathier than before. I join in on the chorus, my raspy voice melding with hers as I fuck her, pushing us both over the edge.

Blissed out and with hands on her thighs, I smile wickedly, “Sing it for me again, Wills.”

 

I’m brought from my thoughts when Law elbows me. “Where’d you go, bro? You okay?” he whispers just as the song finishes and she takes a moment to sip from her mug. I’d bet money it was tea. She always drank tea to soothe her throat when she was serious about a session or we had a lot to work out in the studio.

“Yeah, man. Just thinking about Wills.” Shrugging sheepishly, I glance over at him before letting my gaze settle back on Willow. “I haven’t had to share her like this in forever, not even with you guys really. Not like this.” My voice is pitched low so that it doesn’t travel. “It’s fucking with my head a little. There’s never been a time that she wasn’t mine and that music wasn’t ours. Ya know?”

TBRreview

I should know by now that Mandi Beck books are an experience. It’s not just a quick simple love story; there are layers, dimensions, twists and turns. Stoned has those, that’s for sure!

Stone is a rock star living the life of a rock star, even when he has a girlfriend on the road with him. She finally gets tired of his shenanigans and leaves. Stone is so out of it that 8 months later, after the tour has ended, he is surprised that Willow is nowhere to be found in their house. Her phone is disconnected and he has no way to get in touch with her.

Willow has had enough. She has stood by Stone’s side while he’s been building his career and fan base. She can’t play second string to his “rock star” ways any more. So she leaves. And makes sure he can’t find her.

I’m not going in to all the events that happen because this review would be NOVEL length if I did that. Just suffice it to say LOTS of twists and turns happen on the way to Stone’s sobriety and finding Willow.

And Stone’s lyrics and words, once he’s sober, are just amazing. You can see the true artist in him with how he words things and calls Willow his rhythm.

I definitely want more of this band of crazy guys! I can just see all the troubles Ro, Judge and Law get in to.

5 stars!
