“I just want to say WOW. Just WOW. I seriously hated Ava. No redeeming qualities whatsoever in Changing Lanes and now she is one of my favorite people and i was rooting for her. I DID NOT see that U-turn (brillliant). I love your writing. And i love how when I read your books I get to know all characters. Not just one or two. Bravo!!! Great great job!!” 

“This book! Goodness woman! Your characters are so real. You managed to make me hate Ava in Changing Lanes and love her…even at her worst…in U-Turn. And Riley! There were times I wanted to rip his heart out. Thank you for giving me this privilege! You are one damn good storyteller!”


TROUBLE.

That’s all she is and all she’ll ever be.

What in the hell was I thinking getting involved with her?

Everyone knows her reputation precedes her.

But I’ll be damned if I don’t like it.

Hurricane Ava crashes to shore wreaking havoc, the beautiful disaster she is.

And I love it.

What’s worse, she does too.

So, why am I in love with her? Because, she loves me.
She just doesn’t know it yet.
 
I find myself halfway home when I do a U-turn. I hit the gas, speeding toward Myrtle Beach. My tears fall once again as I think of him leaving and I’m not the last person he sees. I need to be the last thing he sees. The fissure my heart has suffered begins to quake as I pray I make it back to him.

I park at the airport entrance, racing through every checkpoint I can before actually yelling, “He’s leaving. I have to tell him I love him.” The airport officials have mercy on me when I explain he’s a soldier and I’m crazy for him. “He may not make it back, he’s deploying.”

Pointed in the right direction, I sprint to his departure gate. His family standing close by the window, I know then he’s already boarded. I push past several onlookers to the wide expanse of glass standing between us.

I search, switching between his family and the plane, to gauge where he will be. My chest constricts as I get a glimpse of him for the first time in fatigues. He’s breathtaking. As my pride swells, I lay my hand on the window, reaching for him.

I begin to lose hope when his eyes suddenly dart to me. A smile growing on his face as I fight to dry mine. The plane begins to roll, and I follow it, never moving my hand from the clear barrier. When Riley raises his hand, pressing it against the glass, I fall to my knees.

My eyes never leave his face nor does my hand break our connection. I stay there as he taxi’s down the runway and lifts off. Leaving me. I push against the glass with both hands, hoping beyond all things I could break it and run after him.

I sit against the window, clutching my chest as if my heart has fallen from it until Walker picks me up from the floor. He carries me from the building, my life in ashes. Walker sits with me until I regain some semblance of composure. I’m not ever far from plummeting over the edge again.

“No, no!” He shakes his head repeatedly. “I gave you all the time you needed. You should have realized by now we were meant to be together. And I come over here and what do I see? You hugging and kissing all over some asshole.” He vigorously shoves his free hand through his hair. “Do you know how that made me feel? This shit ends now,” he screams, his eyes darkening.

 

He lunges toward me with his gun pointing at my face. I scream for help as loudly as I can, “Jam—”
Everything goes black.

About Selfish (Selfish Series Book 1)

ASHLYN
It was supposed to be a vacation. Five whole days on the beach with my best friend before we made the move from Seattle to New York. I never expected to meet a man who would make me change the way I saw love and sex. I’ve always believed you can have one without the other. So, when I hooked up with a one-night stand while on vacation, I never expected him to be standing in the middle of my hotel room hours later. Proclaiming to be my best friend’s brother.
RYDER
I’m married to my job. I’m twenty-nine and help run a fortune 500 company. I hadn’t seen my sister in four years, and I wanted to surprise her. What better way than on her vacation? What I ended up getting was a woman who knew exactly what she wanted. And for that one night, I was it. I knew that I wanted more. You don’t spend a night with someone like her and let her walk away that easily.
It took me two seconds to decide I wanted him for one night. It took me a day to understand that he was gonna want more.
I’ve always had the means to buy anything I want. Too bad, she is priceless.
I’ve always believed in love. But I’m selfish. I want more … But can he give it to me? Or when this gets hard, does he walk away?

TBRreview

This was actually the first book of Shantel Tessier’s that I’ve read and I was NOT disappointed. This series was amazing! I loved Ashlyn and Ryder’s start. Ashlyn is not interested in relationships and neither is Ryder. So when they meet at a bar, they figure one night will be perfect for them. Until Ashlyn finds out that Ryder is her bestie’s brother.

Ryder hasn’t been into relationships but he can’t stop himself from wanting one with Ashlyn and having to convince her into it. I love stories where the male wants the female and has to persuade her on giving them a shot.

Now there is a cliffhanger but Myself is out and you get to hear more…

5 stars!

About Myself (Selfish Series Book 2)

Becca
Mistakes? We all make them. But when you get the chance to right them, you don’t think twice. You take what you know, and you learn from it. I realized I had a chance at something better. He was willing to give me himself. And I wasn’t willing to let anyone take that from me again..
Jaycent
I should have never walked away. He wasn’t right for her; we all saw it. But I did as she asked and let her go. No matter how much it hurt me. But I’ve been given another chance. Now that she’s back in my life, I’m gonna make sure no one comes between us. Some aren’t going to agree. Others are going to downright hate it. But I don’t care. I’m doing what’s best for me, myself and I … and she is the best!

TBRreview

A great continuation of the series but featuring Becca and Jaycent. Yes, Ashlyn and Ryder make appearances but you get to hear about Becca and Jaycent’s story from them directly. Which I so wanted to hear after the a$$hole that Conner was. And I love this title because it fits Becca directly. She is doing things for herself now and not someone else and planning to make herself happy, however that happens.

Jaycent has always been Becca’s protector and now we know why. Yes, she’s his bestie’s little sister but there’s more and almost always has been. I loved that there was more to Jaycent than being just happy go lucky guy and that he was so deep and feeling.

This ends in a cliffhanger too but it will be more about Ryder and Ashlyn again – because we need their story wrapped up STAT!!!

AP new - synopsis.jpg
Sienna Taylor walked into Mad Ink looking for a temporary escape. Instead, she found River Madden, the gorgeously talented and impossibly moody owner of the shop. One look in her big, dark eyes makes him desperate to possess her, his need to mark her untouched skin a primal distraction.

One touch of his needle sends electricity rocketing between them, and by the time he’s finished leaving his brand on her, he’s doing the unthinkable and offering her a job—and possibly losing his sense of sanity.

Finding forever is the last thing on River’s mind, but one taste of her sweet innocence has him consumed with claiming her.
She’s too innocent, too sweet, too untouchable, and far too good for him. But she has a darkness that claws at her, a crack fracturing her heart that only makes him crave her more.

Warning: From the moment his tattoo gun touches her skin, River is utterly obsessed with his girl. If over-the-top, insta-love goodness with a moody, tattooed alpha is your cup of steam, look no further! River has a talent for pushing all the right buttons. 😉

Paige Palmer has a problem and she has the solution within reach: it’s name is Leo Morris. Leo, master of Richmond town, is a powerful and unscrupulous man who will ask her to do something very particular in return for his help.

 

And situations are never as simple as they look…
“…Leo turned around, it was time to set foot in his office. He always locked himself in there from eleven p.m. into the dead of night, solving problems and meeting people. Sometimes he would also go into the club to throw some punches when needed, but he did that rarely now. Old habits die hard and when he had to solve something personally, there was no henchman who could do the job in his place. He grabbed the door handle, pulled it down, and found himself face to face with a pair of glacial eyes and a perfectly designed and symmetrical goatee with just a few strands of silver in it. If there were a prize for the most definite and precise goatee, Andy Pride would definitely win it. He was the best treasurer and public accountant in all of Virginia.
«There’s a person who wants to see you in your office.»
«Who the hell is it?»
«A woman» iceman answered without losing his composure and letting him get by.
When Leo left the room, Andy entered to take the documents and Dante smirked.
He would have loved to see his face when he saw the kind of woman who was waiting for him…
