5 ways to fall

Synopsis

Sometimes you can’t change—and sometimes you just don’t want to. Discover Ben’s side of the story in this fourth novel by the beloved, top-selling indie author of Ten Tiny Breaths, One Tiny Lie, and Four Seconds to Lose.

Purple-haired, sharp-tongued Reese MacKay knows all about making the wrong choice; she’s made plenty of them in her twenty-odd-years. So when her impulsive, short-lived marriage ends in heartbreak, she decides it’s time for a change. She moves to Miami with the intention of hitting reset on her irresponsible life, and she does quite well…aside from an epically humiliating one-night stand in Cancun with a hot blond bouncer named Ben. Thank God she can get on a plane and leave that mistake behind her.

Football scholarship and frat parties with hot chicks? Part of charmer Ben Morris’s plan. Blown knee that kills any hope of a professional football career? So not part of the plan. Luckily Ben has brains to go with his knockout looks and magnetism. After three long years of balancing law school with his job as a bouncer at Penny’s Palace, he’s ready to lead a more mature life—until his first day of work, when he finds himself in the office of that crazy, hot chick he met in Cancun. The one he hasn’t stopped thinking about.

If Ben truly were a smart guy, he’d stay clear of Reese. She’s the boss’s stepdaughter and it’s been made very clear that office romances are grounds for dismissal. Plus, rumor has it she’s trouble. The only problem is, he likes trouble, especially when it’s so good-looking…

Michel’s Review

Five Ways To Fall is the final book in one of my favorite book series, Ten Tiny Breaths by K. A. Tucker.  This series has kept me captivated. I have been deeply invested with the cast of characters, their stories, and their lives.  They have become dear to my heart.  It is sad that this series is ending.  But it is going out with a bang.  Five Ways To Fall is the best book in the series and leaves the reader very satisfied with the ending.

Five Ways To Fall is Ben’s story.  Ben has been one of those characters that has been steadfast, light hearted, dedicated, and flat out fun throughout the series.  He is the sexy bouncer at the strip club that is a fun loving player.  Although he lives his life in an uncomplicated and carefree manner , he is far from being a slouch.  He has been in law school and has now graduated.  It’s time for him to move on and play in the grown up world.

K. A. Tucker has created the perfect heroine for Ben.  Reece is a rebellious hellion.  She is feisty, rebellious, spiteful, and sarcastic.  She has extreme trust issues, relationship issues which include her family & friends, and has a very colorful past.  She has been hurt and she is on a mission to get revenge.  On the surface she seems like your worst nightmare.  But beneath it all she is smart, witty, sensitive, fun loving, and desperately needing love.  Ben is just the man to help her with her mission and show her that everything she’s hiding below the surface is just as sexy as all the in your face rebellion is .

What Ben doesn’t realize is that she is just what he needs too.  She is his perfect partner in every sense of the word.

This book will have you laughing, crying, and celebrating.  It is a heartwarming romance and all around superb read.

I highly recommend Five Ways To Fall by K. A. Tucker.

Five Ways To Fall can be read as a stand alone romance or in series order.  I recommend reading the series.  It is full of charismatic characters that will stay in your heart long after the books have been closed.

Indiscretion: Volume One

F*ck and chuck. Pump and dump. Hit it and quit it. One night stand. Didn’t matter how I branded it—that’s all she had wanted it to be. That much was clear when she left me with my pants down and my dick still out.

What she hadn’t counted on was fate intervening and our worlds colliding—again.

The day I showed back up in the life of Chloe Griffins, I knew I had to have her again. My body was hungry for another taste. Like an addict, I’d been craving another hit for months, and there she was—flesh and bone, tits and ass.

The fact that she worked for the competition should’ve been reason enough for me to leave her alone. I had a job to do that summer and f*cking Chloe wasn’t part of it. But I was like a man possessed.

I’d do whatever it took to haveher again.

Excerpt:

“Enough talk about the heavy stuff. Let’s get back to finding a guy for me to flirt with tonight.”

“I thought we’d already found one.” She nodded mischievously toward the insanely hot guy with the blue eyes.

“Yeah, right,” I scoffed. “A little out of my league, I think.”

“Oh please,” Jackie frowned. “For all we know, he could be covered in back hair and have a small dick.”

I burst out laughing and gave my friend a light smack across the arm. It took me a minute to catch my breath. “You’re horrible,” I grinned at her. “Do you know how long it’s been since I flirted with someone? Maybe I should start with more of an average Joe.”

I was in the mood for some innocent fun tonight. Being away from home and all the memories and responsibilities it held seemed to have had that affect. Even so, I had a feeling any conversation with the blue-eyed stranger had the potential to turn into something not entirely innocent.

“Alright then.” Jackie leaned in to give me a hug as the rest of the bridal party returned from the bar and placed down a variety of drinks and . In the spirit of the evening, I picked up a shot of God-knows-what neon concoction and held it in the air. The other girls followed suit.

Smiling at my friend, I shoved down the lump of nostalgia. “I’d like to propose a toast to Jackie and her upcoming nuptials. May she and Rob have a long and happy life together, full of nothing but love, trust, joy…and because it’s Jackie, a whole lot of mind-blowing sex.”

All the girls cheered and clinked the assortment of drinks and shots before tossing them back. Jackie beamed. Whether a result of alcohol, love, or the fact that I was looking to have a little fun, I couldn’t be sure. I hoped it wasn’t the latter or my friend would end up disappointed. Despite what I’d said, I had no intention of pursuing anything beyond a mild flirtation with anyone—blue-eyedstranger included.

Synopsis

Jason Sutherland is a billionaire investor who has it all: good looks, billions of dollars, and every expensive toy a man could ever want.  What he doesn’t have is the one thing he wants the most: Hope Sinclair.  Unfortunately Hope, the little sister of his best friend, was off limits. But when he finds out that she’s getting married, he decides that he’s staking his claim before it’s too late, and it will take more than a little deception and risk to accomplish his goal. Hope could end up hating his guts, but after spending one forbidden night with her that he can’t forget, he knows he has to try to make her his forever.

Hope Sinclair was born into money, but being rich has never made her happy.  The one thing she wants is a man to care about her and not her bank account.  The closest thing she’s ever found to real happiness was the magical, passionate night she’d spent in the arms of Jason Sutherland…until that night turned into heartbreak.  So when he unexpectedly comes back into her life in the strangest of ways, Hope is determined to resist her attraction to him.

Thrown together by Jason’s deception and with their passion still burning hot, can the two of them survive after the billionaire is unmasked?

Find out in “Billionaire Unmasked,” the next book in The Billionaire’s Obsession series.

 

Synopsis

After four years of working for “the billionaire boss from hell” Ally Caldwell thinks she finally has her life on the right track. Her fiancé is out of dental school, ready to go to work at a thriving practice, and it would finally be her turn to go back and finish her college degree. Unfortunately, her carefully planned future crumbles when she finds out that her fiancé, the man she’d nearly killed herself to help get through school, has been cheating on her. With her wedding looming in the near future, Ally’s blindsided, realizing she’d never even knew the man she’d been planning to marry. Suddenly, her carefully organized life is turned upside down, and not one single thing is turning out the way it was supposed to happen. Even her boss, Travis the Tyrant, is beginning to act differently, throwing Ally into an even more confused and chaotic state of mind. Travis, the one man who she’d always counted on to be a jerk, was now the guy who actually steps up to try and help her straighten her life out again. Unfortunately, she doesn’t much care for his highhanded arrogance or his methods of “helping.” Ally wants to hate Travis. It makes her life so much simpler to fight with him than to admit to the combustible chemistry growing between the two of them. But as she begins to see more and more of the real Travis beneath his dark façade, she can’t seem to resist the dangerous lure of their unlikely attraction.Billionaire Travis Harrison does everything he possibly can to repair the Harrison name after a scandal nearly destroyed his family years ago. He makes sure he keeps himself and his actions in check, his emotions buried under a thick layer of ice. Only his secretary and assistant, Alison Caldwell, makes him come close to losing his carefully constructed image. The obstinate female keeps shoving him closer and closer to the edge of sanity every single day. But when he finds out about her fiancé’s betrayal, his protective instincts roar to life inside him, making him want to ensure she’s never hurt again. The only problem is…Ally doesn’t want his help, and the infuriating woman does everything she can to push him away, even as the two of them are swept into an undeniable passion that neither of them can possibly ignore. Before long, Travis finds himself in ruthless pursuit of something much more important and elusive than just a business deal.Can these two very different, very stubborn people actually be meant to be together? Find out if Travis and Ally can let down their defenses and surrender to a love so powerful it will rock them to the depths of their souls in Billionaire Undone, Book Five of The Billionaire’s Obsession series.

Sam and Maddie are here!

Billionaire Sam Hudson has pretty much lived his life with no
apologies because he tries never to do anything that he’s sorry
about…except for what he had done in the past to Dr. Madeline Reynolds.
Many years and regrets later, Sam meets up with Maddie again by chance;
his brother Simon is marrying Maddie’s best friend and the two of them
are forced to be civil. But Sam wants to be more than polite, and he
wants another chance to make things right, so he offers Maddie a bold
proposition, an offer he knows she’ll have a very hard time declining
even though she hates him.

Dr. Madeline Reynolds adores her best friend Kara and her fiancé
Simon, but being forced into the company of Sam Hudson, because they are
both in Simon and Kara’s wedding, is pure torture. She’s hated Sam for
years, but when he offers her a bargain, something near and dear to her
heart, she’s torn between her dislike for the man and the offer of
something she’s always desperately wanted. Once, Sam Hudson nearly
destroyed her, but Maddie discovers that sometimes things aren’t always
what they appear to be. Is Sam really a devious heartbreaker, or is
there something more to him beneath the surface?

Can two people with so many years of hurt between them learn to trust each other again?

With his professional football career over due to a tragic accident,
billionaire Kade Harrison takes on the task of solving a mystery for
his brother-in-law and friend, Max Hamilton. Without his former career
to fill every minute of the day, Kade’s looking for something to
challenge him–now that he’s lost the career that had meant everything
to him. But what starts out as a simple favor soon becomes a whole lot
more than he bargained for when the woman he’s seeking slips away from
him every time he gets close to finding her. When Kade does finally
corner her, things start to get even more complicated. Asha Paritala is
nothing like he expected, and the female he had tracked down as a favor
for Max soon becomes a woman he wants for his very own, a woman who
makes protective and highly predatory instincts he didn’t know he had
flare to life inside him. Kade soon discovers that he wants Asha’s
total surrender to the desire and passion that vibrates intensely
between the two of them, but he also wants her trust, the one thing
Asha’s history makes it difficult for her to give. Can Kade convince
her that some things are worth risking it all?

Caught between two worlds, Asha Paritala is homeless, broke and
damaged from a life of abuse and neglect. Born of an American mother
and an Indian immigrant father, Asha was raised as an Indian woman by a
foster family after the death of her natural parents when she was little
more than a baby. She’s spent her entire life under the control of
others until finally breaking free two years earlier, and she’s
determined to keep her freedom, even if it means she has to struggle to
survive. But when she meets Kade Harrison, her resolve is tested.
After Kade helps her through a bad situation, she finds herself
beginning to trust Kade as she’s never trusted a man before. Kade is
everything she always thought a man should be, but can she lose herself
in him completely when she knows she’s damaged and confused. And is it
really possible that she could be a lost sibling to two people like Max
Hamilton and Maddie Hudson? Asha is tempted by the possibility of
family, and the irresistible lure of a man like Kade Harrison. Can a
woman caught between two cultures, so flawed and so backward, really
reach out and take what she wants, or will the instinct to run from the
pain of her past destroy the hope of happiness for her future?

Find out if two broken souls can heal each other in The Billionaire’s Game, book 4 of The Billionaire’s Obsession series!!

Tracey’s Review

In this fourth episode of the ‘Deep Surrendering’ series by Chelsea Cameron, Marisol and Fin are back, and they’re still as hot and crazy as ever.

The feelings between Marisol and Fin have continued to grow. Now that they’ve been able to really get to know and accept each other for who they are, they are doing their best to have an actual relationship. There are still secrets in Fin’s past, but as he and Marisol grow more deeply involved, those things are revealed, things that make Fin the person that he is today.

I am really enjoying this series. The storyline flows nicely from one serial installment to the next, and it’s very easy to keep up. As well, I feel more and more attached to Marisol and Fin, and invested in their story. Fin is still all sorts of messed up, despite Marisol’s love and support. Even with all that he has materially, he has not had an easy time of things in his life, and my heart goes out to him. Watching him fight to break down the walls that he’s built to protect himself, with Marisol’s help, makes me hopeful that they’ll finally get their happily ever after. Not that it’s going to be easy to get there, because it wouldn’t be an a angsty romance without some trials along the way. Add to the romance and angst some super-hot sexy times, and I cannot wait until Episode 5 comes out so that we can see what’s in store for these two.

Excerpt

“He’ll um, be right down. Please take a seat,” she said, gesturing to the leather chairs. “May I get you anything, Miss Everly?” Oh, now that she knew who I was, she was going to be nice to me? That didn’t make me feel very good.

“No, thank you,” I said, my voice cool as I went to take a seat and wait for Fin. I patted myself on the back for deciding that showing up wearing just a trench coat and nothing else was a bad idea. The receptionist would have seen right through that and probably would have thrown me out before I could even ask for Fin.

I heard him coming down the hall before I saw him.

“Marisol? What are you doing here?” He was bewildered and concerned and shocked. I’d kind of hoped for excited.

My eyes flicked to the girl at the desk, who was pretending to be immersed in her work but was clearly eavesdropping.

“I came to see you and ask if you’ll have dinner with me tonight.”

Kelley’s Review

I have really adored this series.  It is my go to series after reading a but gusting cry your eyes out romance because it is light and fun and brings me back to center.  It was so much fun seeing the gang again.  Monica really does a good job with the birth of Ivy and Archer’s baby.  It is not over the top and reminded me a lot of when I had my kids.

Marina kind of turns into bridezilla which is to be expected since her huge Italian family is putting so much pressure on her.  It is nice to see her and Gabe get to chill out on the beach during their honeymoon.  Monica sure knows how to write some sexy and spicy beach scenes so look out.

Bryn poor Bryn.  I love her to death but I can not believe that she told Matt no.  I thought for sure that story was going to end differently than it did.  I still want to know what happens next with them.  I love Matt and Bryn.

Monica does a great job giving us the next chapter in the lives of the Billionaire Bachelors that we have grown to love.  I will miss them.  I have been head over heels for this series since Archer’s story came out and I hated to see this series end.  I am looking forward to whatever Monica decides to throw at us next.

Ten Things the Billionaire Bachelors Wish You Knew About Them

Archer, Gage and Matt—the billionaire bachelors that are bachelors no longer. It was a lot of fun taking these men down a notch by having them meet women they fall head over heels for. They’re all a bunch of macho you-know-whats but they also have a few secrets. Considering these guys have known each other a long time, there are all sorts of things they know about each other. And now they want to share those things with you…

  1. Archer and Gage didn’t like Matt when they first met him. They thought he was an arrogant jerk. He felt the same way about them.
  1. Archer has been in love with Ivy for so long he truly believed it would never happen. And he didn’t want it to happen because he didn’t want to lose Gage as a friend. Luckily enough it all worked out.
  1. It was touch and go for Gage and Marina for a while—family tensions on her side were getting to them both.
  1. Gage has a serious sweet tooth and he secretly hates that Marina owns a bakery. He doesn’t want to get fat.
  1. Matt has turned into a complete sap who only has eyes for Bryn. His friends mock him but he knows deep down inside they’re just as gone over their women as he is over his.
  1. Who’s the richest billionaire of the three? They’ll never tell.
  1. (Answer to #6 – Archer)
  1. Ivy went to Archer early in her pregnancy and said if they were having a boy, she wanted to name him after her brother. Archer said hell no. They had one Gage in the family and that was enough.
  1. Matt is afraid of Bryn’s grandma. And Bryn’s grandma’s rooster.
  1. All three friends give each other a lot of grief but they are definitely the happiest they’ve ever been—and they thank their lucky stars every day for the women who entered their lives and changed them completely.

Except her assistant volunteered her for L.A.’s annual 24 Hour Plays.Nervous about doing a good job for such a worthy charity, Heather falls back on “diva” mode, a defense mechanism that always carries her through. Until she encounters something that really gets on her nerves—a lowly carpenter whose Norse god eyes pierce right through her. Highly sought-after production designer Seth Rafferty has little patience for A-listers with superior attitudes, which is why his attraction to Heather is absurd. Yet, sensing vulnerability beneath her screen-queen act, he lets her assumptions play out. After the wrap party, Heather awakens with little memory of the night before—except that Seth gave her the best orgasm of her life, then disappeared. When he shows up on the set of her next movie, she winds up to give him a piece of her mind…and Seth shows her just how stinging hot “chemistry” can get. Warning: Contains an outwardly snobby actress with a good heart, a delicious carpenter with a power drill, some much-deserved spanking, and an appropriately consensual—if tipsy—orgasm, as well as sex at an inappropriate time of the month.

Tracey’s Review

What do you get when you put a snobby actress from the wrong side of the tracks and a super-hot alpha guy that’s good with his hands together? Perfection, if you’re reading ‘Star Struck’ by Laurelin Paige. Heather Wainwright is the Hollywood ‘IT’ girl of the moment, in much demand, and at the top of her game. She is the actress that all ingenues want to be like, and all the leading men want to date. But Heather’s life hasn’t always been the dream that it is. She comes from a less-than-spectacular background, and will do most anything to keep this hidden from her adoring public. Seth Rafferty has also worked hard to rise to the top of the heap in Hollywood. Seth, while not proud of his background, refuses to hide who he is and where he comes from, except when it comes to Heather. He wants to teach her a lesson, and have a good time while doing it. I am a huge fan of Laurelin Paige. Her ‘Fixed’ series has one of my all-time favorite book boyfriends, after all. In ‘Star Stuck,’ she has given us Seth Rafferty, and let me tell you, he ranks right up there at the top. Not only is he gorgeous and sexy, he’s smart and sweet, and can easily keep up with Heather, giving as good as he gets, and making her a better person along the way. And while, at first glance it would be easy to dislike Heather, you really can’t, because it becomes clear why she acts the way that she does. Even she doesn’t really like the person that she’s become, but isn’t secure enough in herself to make a change. This book was HOT from the get-go, and I could not put it down The interchange between Heather and Seth was by turns funny and sweet, and always sexy as all get-out. And Lexie, I just adore Lexie. Heather lucked out for sure when she landed such a smart, loyal, and sassy chick to be her PA. I’d love to see her in her own story (hint, hint, Laurelin!). Five hot and sexy stars!

About Laurelin: Laurelin Paige is the NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Fixed Trilogy. She’s a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Mad Men and the Walking Dead, or dreaming of Adam Levine.

Title: Unrequited (Beachwood Bay #3.5) 

Author: Melody Grace

Release Date: May 21, 2014

 You can be anyone for a night…

Dex is looking for distraction, at any price. The innocent redhead is just what he needs to keep his demons at bay — but one taste of her sweetness isn’t enough. He needs to possess her, body and soul.

Two searching hearts. One night to discover the passion of a lifetime. Dex is determined to show Alicia the pleasure she’s been denied, but can she let go of her heartache and take a risk on the unknown? Find out in the sizzling new novella from USA Today bestselling author, Melody Grace!

 What the hell am I doing?

The city lights flash past us in a neon blur, bright and electric as the adrenalin pumping through my veins. I can feel every rumble of the engine echo up through my body as I hold on tight to the solid muscle of the stranger between my thighs.

            The man who wouldn’t let me walk away.

            This is crazy. I’m crazy.

When Dex finally pulls the bike to a stop, I’m surprised to feel a flash of disappointment.

I shake out my hair, wondering how much of a mess I look. “Motorcycles are dangerous,” I say, instead of admitting just how good that just felt.

I blush, looking away. Now we’re far from the party, and all the reasons I had to run, I’m reminded just how far out of my depth I am with a man like him. He’s probably used to groupies and daredevils — rock chick girls who wouldn’t think twice about leaving a party with a man they’ve never met before, not some ordinary girl whose head is still spinning just from a motorcycle ride across town.

I catch my breath, feeling a sudden panic. He brought me straight to his place? He thinks we’re going to…? “I didn’t mean–” I stutter. “When I said, we should get out of there–” I stop, my face burning up with embarrassment.

             He beckons me to follow him inside.

 “You’re not that kind of girl,” Dex finishes, smiling. “I know. But, I’m going to let you in on a little secret.” He drops to a whisper, leaning in close enough for me to feel his body, hot against mine.

            “You want to be.”

Tracey’s Review

Dex is not Alicia’s type. He’s hot, edgy, sexy, a rocker that just happened to show up in her town. And Alicia is definitely not Dex’s type. She’s straight-laced, buttoned-up, and innocent. But when the two of them end up in the same place, it’s fireworks galore. These two cannot keep their hands off of each other!

Alicia has come to the realization that the guy she wants so badly doesn’t feel the same. Her love is completely unrequited, and her heart is breaking. Running from the fame that had become like a drug to him, Dex finds himself crashing into Alicia, drawn to her like no one before.

‘Unrequited’ is a novella, the first book in the ‘Callahans’ series by Melody Grace. This story definitely grabbed and held my attention, because the chemistry between Dex and Alicia is OFF THE CHARTS. I mean, completely steamy, and then some. My only complaint is that it is a novella, after all, so the story is more like an appetizer, something to whet the appetite until the whole meal is delivered in the next book. And I will definitely be reading the next book, because I cannot wait to find out what happens with these two. Get ready for a hot and sexy four-star read in this one.

Last Second Chance by Caisey Quinn 5 Star Review

Posted on by

AMAZON | B&N | KOBO 
When Stella Jo Chandler gets an offer to work at the Second Chance Ranch celebrity rehab facility right after graduating from Texas A&M, she’s tempted to turn it down. She wants to help real people with real problems, not spoiled celebrities going on vacation for publicity. But growing up on her family’s ranch left her with a love of horses that draws her to the opportunity. How bad can babysitting a bunch of strung out celebrities be?  What she didn’t count on was being roped into a tangled mess with infamous rocker and three-time rehab drop out Van Ransom on her first day. And she sure didn’t expect to feel the overwhelming attraction that pulls her to the man who has more issues than she can count on both hands. Like the hotel rooms and tour buses he’s famous for trashing, the havoc he could wreak on Stella’s heart would be irreparable.

 

Van isn’t at Second Chance for publicity or because he’s suffering from “exhaustion”. He’s on the brink of destruction, and he needs the kind of help Stella isn’t sure she can give. But without her, he’ll lose everything. Because he’s on his last second chance.

TEASERS 
 
 
 
EXCERPT 

Van stood at the edge of her bed and stared down at her. He had to clench his hands at his side to keep himself steady.Fuck, she was beautiful. She was more than beautiful. She was a goddess. She was something no one had created a word for yet. Because no other such creature had existed.

“Lose the blanket, Stella Jo.” His gravelly voice filled the small room.

She nodded, licked her lips, and slid the white comforter down. His eyes narrowed when he saw that she’d left her bra and underwear on.

“I said naked, cowgirl. But you know that, don’t you?”

“I was…” She paused to take a deep breath. “I thought I had more time.”

Setting the rope and riding crop on the bedside table, Van crossed his arms. “You have all the time in the world. Go ahead. I’ll wait.”

Her emerald eyes widened, meeting his with an ‘are you serious’ stare. He nodded once at her unspoken question.

She stood on shaking legs, and he resisted the urge to let her off the hook. She was nervous. She should be. He was going to do things to her that would wreck her—things she wouldn’t be able to forget for as long as she lived.

He planned to make damn sure of it.

Tracey’s Review
bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472

Stella Jo Chandler has always done the right thing. Former champion horse rider, she graduated with honors from college and wants to help people. For Stella Jo, who has never felt good enough, like no one has ever wanted her, Second Chance Ranch is just the opportunity to give to people what she has always missed in her life. Van Ransom is in deep trouble. He’s the ultimate bad boy, the guy that pushes the envelope and then some. As the lead singer of Hostage For Ransom, Van is living the whole ‘sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll’ to the extreme, and has finally gone too far. With his life and future of his role as hot lead singer in jeopardy, he has no choice but to get cleaned up for good.

“So this is it then? No second chances? Epitaph is sending me to rehab and I have to fake my way into a whole new me or else I ruin it for the whole band? That’s some messed-up shit, Sid.

Now it was the manager’s hand that fisted, clenching the rail tightly as he stared at Van in disbelief.

“You have got to be screwing with me, kid. You’ve had more second chances than any other person on the planet. And as much as I hate to say this to you, if you don’t complete the program this time and get your shit together, Epitaph won’t be the only one washing their hands of you. This is last second chance, Van. Plain and simple.”

Good Lord, I love a hot rocker. One that’s got a story, that is tortured and just waiting for the person that will help put him back together (even though he never thinks that that’s what he wants or needs, mind you), even better. Van Ransom is all of this and more. He’s at Second Chance Ranch, a rehab facility that caters to the rich and famous, to get it together once and for all. Stella Jo, running from a cold and unloving home life, has come to Second Chance to be able to give back, to help people get past their problems and get on with their lives. From the moment that Van and Stella Jo literally run into each other, they are like magnets, unable to stay away from each other. Each sees in the other a reflection of themselves, and and the brokenness that needs fixing.

I absolutely loved this book. Caisey Quinn writes one heck of a story, and this in no exception. Van and Stella Jo are on fire, and I loved reading about the two of them. The plot, the characters, and, did I say, Van, makes this absolutely a 5-star read for me.

SynopsisTwo years ago, Evie’s sister died, leaving her lost. Existing without really living. Coping the only way she knew how: by wrecking things.

Last year, Evie exposed her dad’s affairs, finished ripping apart her relationship with her longtime boyfriend, and completely ruined her music scholarship.

But today, she’s reinventing herself at her new university. Desperate to break away from all the destruction she’s caused, Evie’s ready to start over. For her sister, who never even had a chance. And for herself.

Then Rhys, her new voice instructor, happens.

He’s gorgeous and insanely talented, but he’s also a part of the dark past Evie is trying to overcome. Rhys’s brother is the reason why her life went up in flames, the reason why Lily, Evie’s sister, is dead. But even though Rhys is the last person Evie should ever want, for the first time in two years, wrecking things seems…right.

Excerpt

Chapter 2
Then

“I don’t think I can go,” I tell my mom, looking directly at her, wanting nothing more than for her to meet my gaze. She won’t—I already know that—because looking at me would mean facing the inevitable.
Lily’s gone for good.
Mom drums her French-manicured fingernails on the thatched placemat, the beat uneven and rushed. “The car will be here to pick us up in an hour.” Her hazel eyes, red-rimmed and swollen, focus on the kitchen window. From the looks of it, she’ll start crying again at any second.
Five more drums of her fingers. A sniffle. Then two last beats.
She turns her head slightly in my direction, still refusing to look at me, but I get a clear view of her face. My mother’s always been beautiful, and even with her skin splotchy from crying and her short, chestnut-colored hair uncombed, she’s still stunning in that tragic, ethereal sense. “The car comes in an hour,” she repeats before pushing away from the kitchen table and shuffling away. Even though it never left her mouth, I know the precise word that’s rolling through her mind as I hear her climb the steps and slam her bedroom door.
Selfish.
Maybe she’s right. But maybe, if she’d just looked at me, she would have seen that selfishness is rooted in an even deeper emotion: fear.
I don’t want the last time I see my sister to be … this.
That’s not a memory I think I can deal with and I’m scared to hell of it.
But in the end, my dad stalks into the kitchen and motions for me to follow him. He gives me a gentle nudge toward the staircase with the instructions to get dressed and do it fast. Skin flushed, I find myself in my room. By the time I’m finished there are clothes all over the place and my chest is heaving up and down. I glare at myself in the mirror, at my chocolate brown eyes that are clear because I’ve been too numb to cry.
Eyes like Lily’s.
“You selfish bitch,” I mutter and make myself look away. “You’ve ruined everything.”
On the way to the funeral home, none of us say a word to each other. The closer we get, the more and more I don’t mind the silence. Maybe quietness, solitude, is what I need to make it through today.
I sit on the front row with my parents, unable to cry or breathe or think straight as one-by-one, people who knew my sister—who adored her—tell us how sorry they are. There’s her overachieving snob of a best friend, Kendra. The boy who broke Lily’s heart a year ago, the same one who tried, unsuccessfully, for the last year to win her back. There are teachers and teammates and her closest friends. There’s my own boyfriend, James. When he walks past, he stops for just a moment to give my hand a reassuring squeeze, but I don’t say anything to him.
I don’t trust my words.
*** So I continue to watch in stunned silence. There are so many people here that I don’t know that I barely notice the tall man who stops to talk to my parents. He’s speaking in a hushed voice, but the second, “Owen Delane’s brother” tumbles from his lips, my gaze snaps up. I don’t see very much of him through the sudden haze of tears, but I listen to every word, each one catching my breath.
“…so sorry for what happened. For what this has done to your—”
Before he can finish, my mother—the woman who’s never physically disciplined us a day in our lives, the same woman who hasn’t been able to look me in the eye since the afternoon the officers showed up to our house with the news—is on her feet, her eyes meeting his as she swings her hand roughly across his face.
“What gives you the right to think you can come here?” she demands, shrugging off my dad who stands and tries to take her by the shoulders. “Will it help you sleep better at night? Do you think I care if you or your brother is sorry?” With every word, her volume rises, until she’s practically screaming.
Every emotion that Delane is feeling passes over his tan face, and I can’t help but to feel for him, the brother of the man who killed my sister. Forcing my eyes down long enough for me to catch my breath, I dig my fingers into the pew beneath me. What happened to Lily wasn’t this man’s fault. Surely Mom knows that. But the more I try to reason with myself, the more bitter I feel. ***
When I look back up, Delane’s back is straight and his expression is unreadable. His eyes sweep over me for a brief moment, just long enough for him to give me a solemn nod, and then he turns on his heel and walks away. I know every head inside the funeral home is turned on him, so I look at my mother instead.
My father has pulled her back down to a sitting position, and she buries her face in the crook of his neck, sobbing uncontrollably. Dad looks ahead—quiet and tearless—his gaze pointed on the white casket that’s not even ten feet away from us. And behind us, I know there’s more crying. Hushed whispers because my mom just decked a guy. I can’t hear any of it. There’s a blaring in my ears. A pressure sitting on my chest.
And suddenly, I’m on my feet, my gaze pointed down at my parents. “I’m so sorry,” I whisper, finally breaking my silence.
I don’t fully realize that I’ve left the building until the brisk fall air knocks me in the face. It, combined with the tears that have begun to fall, stings my cheeks. A second after my foot touches the bottom step I feel a hand clamp down on my shoulder. I half-expect it to be my father, but when I spin around, I come face to face with Kendra.
In spite of everything she must be going through herself, her eyebrows are pulled together over her dark brown eyes in concern over me. And I’ve been nothing but a bitch to this girl since she and my sister became friends in middle school. Kendra presses her lips together and then lets out a breath. “Evie … where are you going?”
The sad reality is, I don’t even know. “Oh God, Kendra. I’ve fucked everything up.” Immediately, she wraps her arm around me, drawing a gasp, and a sob, from the back of my throat. I drop my head against her shoulder. “I don’t even have the—”
“Shut up,” Kendra orders in a calm voice as she holds me even tighter. “Shut up and stop trying to do this on your own. You shouldn’t.” She releases me, takes a step back, and braces herself. “I don’t want to do it on my own either, okay?”
For the next ten minutes, she and I sit together on that bottom step. Neither of us says a word, and I’m almost certain neither of us manages more than a few breaths, but she doesn’t leave and I won’t either. Finally, at the sound of Lily’s favorite Regina Spektor song—the one I’d suggested we use for the slideshow—Kendra stands and jerks her head to the front door of the funeral home.
“Hey, Evie?” she whispers tearfully. “We can help each other, okay?”
Nodding, I stumble to my feet, brushing my palms over my skirt to smooth off any dirt. But as I go back inside and take my spot beside my parents, letting a song about not saying goodbye burn into my brain, I can’t help but wonder what Owen Delane’s brother would have said if he’d finished speaking.

Kelley’s Review

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472

Forever Ride will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions that you will not want to end.   Chelsea Camaron writes amazing biker stories because it is what she grew up around.  Chelsea put a piece of something real from her own life experience into this series and it shows.  I was up until 2:00 am and had to go to work the next day reading this story.  It had me hooked and I could not put it down.  5 hours of sleep later I made it into work happily knowing that Tank and Sass were going to be okay.

I am one of the lucky few that has become part of CC’s Writing Shenanigans.  I am honored to be part of this group and to be able to cheer Chelsea on as she writes these amazing stories.  Chelsea is first a wife and mother, and then a writer.  She has worked very hard to put together two amazing series.  I found her while she was writing her Love and Repair series and was so impressed about how on target she was with her characters and what life is like living with mechanics.  Then she hooked me again with One Ride.  Her description of what life is like as part of the Hellions Motorcycle Club is spot on.  She, like me, grew up around bikers.  My dad was a Matador and the club will always be part of his past and he looks upon those days with fond memories.  The Hellions remind me so much of his old club when it came to family events.  If you have not picked up this series I can’t tell you enough that you need to.  One Ride is only $.99 cents right now so you have nothing to lose. There is no other biker series that comes close to this one because what Chelsea writes is real.

On to Tank and Sass.  Chelsea about killed me at the end of One Ride.  I had to know what was going to happen with Tank and Sass.  She kept hinting that she was going to kill Tank and I can’t tell you how many times I begged her not to.  Then I started reading Forever Ride and I wanted to kill Tank because he just would not wake up.  I was on the edge of my seat wondering if Tank was going to wake up in time to stop Sass from doing something stupid.

Sass really taught me a lot of things in this book.  One of the most important lessons learned once again is to always be yourself.  Do not conform to what others want or expect you to be.  There are people who love you for who you are.  Life is to short to lose yourself trying to please others.  Sass had changed so much to fit into Nicks world it was scary.  She was not even a shell of who she used to be and had convinced herself that she was happy with her life that way.

I felt like jumping up and down and cheering when Tank finally did wake up.  The scary part of all of it was it felt like he might be too late.  Sass is stubborn and when she wants something she goes all in and she really wanted a life with Nick.  Still, she could never deny the chemistry she an Tank shared.

Forever Ride will take you on several twists and turns that will keep you turning the pages.  I cannot wait to see what Chelsea has in store for us next.  I am in love with this series.

~Sass~

“Button, you don’t have to stay here with him. You know that, right?”

“So you keep sayin’, but the way I see it, you can’t be you here. The fancy car, big house, stiff clothes, and boring hair… that shit ain’t you. Button, you gotta live life.”

“What I see is family. What I see is you’re afraid. You once called me out about being afraid of commitment. Well, Button, you’re full of fear, too. Fear of the unknown. There was a time when you wanted to take chances, to hell with the consequences. What happened?”

“This is the life you were born into. It’s in your blood. Holding on to me just now, you relaxed into the ride like it was second nature. You know you’re meant for this, and you’re meant for me. Life’s too short, Button.”

“Roundman once told me to play the cards life deals us. Well, folding is not an option. You’re in my cards. Life placed you in my hand and I’m building my winning play around you. Sort your shit, Button, because I’m not letting go.”

“I didn’t come here to upset you or force my hand today. I’m gonna go, but I’m not giving up on you.”

“Until next ride, Button,” he responds with a wink as he cranks the bike and then proceeds to pull away, leaving my heart and my life a mess.

 

About the Author

6980925

Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice.

When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in.

She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.
