“You Are Always on My Mind was a heart clenching book that had me gasping and reaching for tissue as I ugly cried so hard I could barely see the words on my kindle.”~Becca

We all like to think we have a soulmate. Unfortunately for some of us, we miss them, passing unseen like two ships in the night. Revel and Harper were among the lucky ones, they knew without a shadow of a doubt that they were meant for one another. In a perfect world, they would’ve enjoyed a ‘happily ever after’. But this isn’t a perfect world.

Harper is haunted by her past, a past so tragic and so unthinkable that she can’t even imagine confessing it to Revel. And she knows from past experience, that when he learns the shameful truth about her – nothing will be the same. So to protect him, she walks away.

Harper underestimated Revel’s love for her. From the moment she disappeared, he set out to bring her home. Their journey to love is one fraught with ghosts from the past, both real and imagined, and a demon from their present who is intent on making sure she has no future. But those ghosts and demons have never met a hero like Revel Lee. He is determined to give Harper exactly what she needs…until Harper realizes that all she needs is him. 

***CONTENT WARNING: This book contains adult language and sexual situations. It is intended for audiences 18+ ONLY***

Like all of the Hell Yeah books by Sable Hunter, You Are Always on My Mind was a heart clenching book that had me gasping and reaching for tissue as I ugly cried so hard I could barely see the words on my kindle.

Sable Hunter has such a unique way of creating a story that gives us multiple perspectives from extremely well developed realistic and lovable characters. Needless to say it’s addicting and once I start reading I can never seem to put the books down.

This story was rough. I will warn that if you have triggers from abuse it may be a bit difficult to read. There aren’t a lot of in depth scenes of abuse but it’s talked about enough to matter.

Overall, this book was amazing! Everything flowed beautifully and the romance was one that I had been dying for since first meeting these characters earlier in this series. I am definitely ready to find out which love story we get next!

Want to hear my thoughts on the other books in this series? Check out the video below!

Sorry…I was so excited about finally talking about this series that I couldn’t sit still!

Sable’s hometown will always be New Orleans. She loves the culture of Louisiana and it permeates everything she does. Now, she lives in the big state of Texas and like most southern women, she loves to cook southern food – especially Cajun and Tex-Mex. She also loves to research the supernatural, but shhhh don’t tell anyone.

Sable writes Saucy Romance novels. She believes that her goal as a writer is to make her readers laugh with joy, cry in sympathy and fan themselves when they read the hot parts – ha!
The worlds she creates in her books are ones where right prevails, love conquers all and holding out for a hero is not an impossible dream.

Title: Break Me, Always Me & Rembember Me

Author: JM Walker

Series: Shattered

Published by: Beau Coup Publishing, LLC

Date published: Sept. 22, 2914

Genres: Contemporary

Book Length: 238 pages

Steam Rating: Steamy/Risque

Main Characters: Sebastian & Tori

Buy on Amazon

“I so wanted Sebastion to be a good guy! hahaha It killed me to learn who he really was…”~Becca

Break Me:

Running is always easier.

Tori McLeod moved to the big city to get away from her mother—and her past. Her new routine is destroyed when she meets a mysterious stranger who won’t take no for an answer. Sebastian intrigues her, but his eyes hold secrets she would rather avoid.

Sebastian Chelios, a hard-as-nails enforcer, is a new-in-town loner. He has to have her. Control her. Possess her. But he can’t—won’t—lose control, even though Tori’s innocence fascinates him. The last thing he’s going to do is love her, even after he gets her in his bed.

Losing control is dangerous, especially when someone from Sebastian’s past covets Tori, putting more than just her heart in danger.

Can Sebastian protect Tori from Jose’s sadistic obsession? If he gets his hands on her, will she make it out in one piece?

Always Me:

Forgetting is hard to do.

Tori McLeod survived the sadistic wrath of a madman at the cost of the love of her life. Always a survivor, she’s determined to move on, for her sake and the sake of her son, even if she has to leave everything and everyone behind.

Two years have passed since she lost Sebastian Chelios. He is gone, but Tori can still feel the raw magnetism pulling her toward a ghost. Relationships change and new bonds form. Budding feelings tempt Tori, but she continues to ache for Sebastian.

Whispers of danger lurk around the corner and questions regarding Jose remain unanswered. Can Tori move on with her life when a dark shadow from her past revisits her? With Jose still being out there, will Tori and her son ever be truly safe?

Remember Me:

Remembering is just the beginning.

Keisha Lee had her life ripped apart at the hands of Jose Alvarez. Not having anywhere to turn, she seeks solace from the one man who could give her everything she needed. Only problem is, she doesn’t remember him.

Garrith Jameson, FBI agent on a leave of absence, has been in love with Keisha his whole life, and she’s always gotten under his skin. They were happy. Complete. Until that horrible day destroyed them, tearing them apart.

Having amnesia is one thing but remembering the mistakes that had been made could separate Garrith and Keisha forever.

A world of trust, healing and new memories arise, making Keisha need more than just the man she knew she once loved.

Will Keisha remember Garrith and give in to the submission her body craves?

While the book took me a bit to get into, once I did I was totally hooked on the characters and just had to know more. I think my main issue was that it was only from Tori’s POV and not a dual POV. I am so used to getting both sides of a story that it was hard to adjust to. I know that a few other reviewers mentioned that the story line was confusing and hard to follow…while I agree to an extent, I also have to disagree. Yep, the whole deal between Sebastion, Jose and Brett is hard to keep up with, but it was still interesting and kept me on my toes.

The relationship between Sebastian and Tori moves extremely fast, but that is brought up in the book and even they admit that it’s crazy. I so wanted Sebastian to be a good guy! hahaha It killed me to learn who he really was…but book two sort of redeemed him a bit so that helps

Overall I feel that this is a really good read and would definitely recommend giving it a try!

Book 2, Always Me, was definitely one that kept me wanting more. I’m pretty sure that I read it in one sitting! I really loved getting even more of Tori and Sebastian’s story and the emotions that these two books brought out in me were epic and unbelievable. I was definitely ugly crying my way through this Trilogy!

There isn’t a whole lot I can say about Always Me other than that it continues the story picking up 2 years later with Jose still out there. There are quite a few twists and turns and surprises along the way. This is one book that left me with my jaw on the ground and gasping around every page.

While book 1, Break Me, may not have been my favorite ever, Always Me definitely finished the job of hooking me and making sure I would be reading more J.M. Walker books in the near future!

Book 3, Remember Me, is by far my favorite so far. I adored getting the feel of a dual POV and learning more about Garrith and Keisha. I was amazed by some of the things that popped up in this book! Just wow, didn’t realize those two had it in them! hehe

Trust me when I say that while my review may be short due to me trying to avoid spoilers (this is one trilogy that has so many plot twists that it’s hard not to give anything away), this is a trilogy that you will regret not reading! So head on over to Amazon and give it a go! 

BTW WHILE PREPARING EVERYTHING FOR THIS REVIEW I FOUND OUT THAT BRETT HAS HIS OWN SERIES CALLED TORN!! OMG YEEEEAAAAHHHH!! I’LL BE BUYING THAT SOON HAHAHA

“All I could do was focus on how wonderful the story was and how much I didn’t want to put the book down.”~Becca

What do you do when a baby is dropped on your doorstep and you’re not sure if the father is you or your wayward brother? If you’re Derek Sloan you freak out as your perfectly organized world suddenly becomes filled with chaos. With his brother nowhere to be found and fatherhood is suddenly thrust upon him, Derek is desperate for any help he can get.

What do you do when the man you’ve been crushing on suddenly has a need and you are the only one he wants to fill it? You do a little happy dance and pinch yourself to make sure you’re not dreaming! For five years Kayleigh Mitchell has longed for her boss to notice her and now that he has, she can only hope that he’ll come to see her as more than a temporary solution to his problem, but someone that he wants around for the long haul.

This is a Valentine’s Day SHORT STORY of approximately 27,000 words

Alright, I will admit it….

The Baby Arrangement is predictable…

it is an extremely quick read…

and yep…you got me…it is a bit cheesy!

Want to know something else that it is!?!

IT IS ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY AWESOME!!

Hehe, this story had me giggling, ooohing, aaahhhing and crying! As I read I honestly didn’t even care about any of the things I listed above! All I could do was focus on how wonderful the story was and how much I didn’t want to put the book down.

For such a short story, Samantha really did an amazing job of character and plot development. Nothing felt rushed or skimped on.

While the story line has been done a dozen times at least, it hasn’t been done quite like this. The crazy and unexpected occurrences were a welcome distraction from the slightly predictable plot line.

To put it mildly, The Baby Arrangement is short, sweet and an epic romance. I highly recommend it and cannot wait to dig into the next book in the series!!

New York Times and USA Today Bestseller/contemporary romance writer Samantha Chase released her debut novel, Jordan’s Return, in November 2011. Although she waited until she was in her 40’s to publish for the first time, writing has been a lifelong passion. Her motivation to take that step was her students: teaching creative writing to elementary age students all the way up through high school and encouraging those students to follow their writing dreams gave Samantha the confidence to take that step as well.

When she’s not working on a new story, she spends her time reading contemporary romances, playing way too many games of Scrabble or Solitaire on Facebook and spending time with her husband of 25 years and their two sons in North Carolina.

“The witty banter, epic second chance romance, and the sweet gestures were just perfect when mixed with Katy’s superb writing style!”~Becca

“Falling for Fitz” is the second of six books about the Philadelphia-based, wildly-handsome English brothers who are absolutely not on the look-out for love.

(Except Barrett, who fell in love when he was eight-years-old. And Fitz, who met the girl of his dreams at nineteen. And maybe even Weston, who just doesn’t know it yet.

Fitz English and Daisy Edwards fell in love during one magical summer when they were teenagers. When something tragic happens at the end of the summer, Daisy tells Fitz she never wants to see him again. Despite his feelings for her, he respects her wishes and for almost a decade Fitz and Daisy go their separate ways.

Almost ten years later, when Daisy moves home to Philadelphia, they meet again, and both are shocked to discover that the feelings they had that summer are just as deep and real today. There’s a little snag, however. It seems that Daisy is engaged to someone else, and she’s come home to get married.

Can Fitz get Daisy to fall for him all over again before it’s too late? Only if Daisy can learn to trust the man who shattered her heart once upon a time.

From book one in this series I was hooked on Katy Regnery’s writing and couldn’t wait to get started on book 2! I mean come on…who doesn’t want a little Fitz??

I adore a second chance romance book! Something about them just really make me grin and giggle and I can never get enough!

To make this book even more to die for and addictive Katy added in the fun aspect of the main character being such a serious non-rule breaker…except around Daisy of course! Watching as Fitz let loose and showed more of a laid back romantic side was just awesome!

The break up between these two (the first go round) was epic and life changing. Who would have thought that uptight Fitz was capable of such things. What an awful thing for both of them to have to go through!! I definitely teared up quite a bit while reading about their summer romance.

We learn rather quickly that both Fitz and Daisy both use one another as their “measuring stick” when it came to relationships…both miss the other terribly…. and both regret their decisions during that summer.

Needless to say that this book is impeccably written and just as great as Breaking Up With Barrett. The witty banter, epic second chance romance, and the sweet gestures were just perfect when mixed with Katy’s superb writing style! I adore the fact that we get glimpses of Emily and Barrett. I am always thrilled when I get to read a book about a new couple while keeping up with the others  

Trust me when I say that this book, this series, is one that you will not want to, nor be able to, put down!

Katy Regnery, award-winning and Amazon bestselling author, started her writing career by enrolling in a short story class in January 2012. One year later, she signed her first contract for a winter romance entitled By Proxy.

Now a hybrid author who publishes both independently and traditionally, Katy claims authorship of the six-book Heart of Montana series, the six-book English Brothers series, and a Kindle Worlds novella entitled “Four Weddings and a Fiasco: The Wedding Date,” in addition to the standalone novels, Playing for Love at Deep Haven and Amazon bestseller, The Vixen and the Vet.

The Vixen and the Vet is included in the charity anthology Hometown Heroes: Hotter Ever After, and Katy’s novella “Frosted” will appear in the upcoming (Jan ’15) anthology, Snowy Days Steamy Nights. Additionally, Katy’s short story, “The Long Way Home” will appear in the first RWA anthology (Feb ’15), Premiere.

Katy lives in the relative wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, and two dogs create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories begin at home.

I’m a contemporary romance author , and I am just about to complete my first series of books called The Into The Series.

I live in Scotland with my husband and three amazing children. I live in a very small village in the country so writing makes it easier to have friends, even if they are in my head.

I have always been a huge reader but it wasn’t until 2013 that I was…lets say encouraged…to write my first book. I published on my birthday in 2014 and have been on a crazy roller coaster ever since.

My favorite things to read about are tattooed alphas…and if they have a dirty mouth its all the better!

I have met so many awesome people on this journey and I never imaged talking to some of my favourite authors, never mind calling some of them my friend.

If you ever go to a signing and there is a Scottish redhead fan-girling in the corner….well that’s probably me!

I walk past my dark bedroom and I realise my mistake when I’m grabbed from behind by a strong pair of arms. I can’t believe he was hiding, and I can’t believe I fell for it. A scream leaves my throat as Noah’s arms tighten around my waist and he lifts me off the floor.

“Got you now, little girl. Whatcha gonna do about it?” The words are spoken close to my ear, his breath fanning over my face. I’m torn between being scared of what’s about to happen and being more turned on that ever before, but my decision is made when I feel him moving towards … the bathroom I think? I try to pry his hands off me but I know it’s going to be useless.

“Noah, what are you doing? This is silly. Lets just call a truce and go tidy up the hall? You don’t want anything to be stolen. This is a bad neighbourhood.” I feel his body vibrate and his laughter reaches my ear before he speaks.

“Nice try, Angel. That’s all tidied up, your door is locked … it’s just you and me.” How the hell had he cleaned up so quickly? I must have been trying to calm down longer than I thought.

He turns our bodies around and I see we’re in the bathroom, and he’s moving me towards the bathtub. No, no, no. He wouldn’t? I struggle harder but he’s just too strong to fight against.

“Noah, don’t you dare. I swear if you do this I will make you suffer. It won’t be worth it. Noah, no!” He doesn’t stop moving, my pleas falling on deaf ears as he moves me under the showerhead and reaches his hand out for the cold tap.

“Noah, please. I’m sorry okay? I promise never to laugh at you, no matter what epically stupid thing you do.”

“Wrong answer.” He turns the tap and within seconds freezing cold is spraying over me, drenching through my clothes and making my breath catch in my chest.

Oh my gosh…she is just insanely awesome! I thought it gave the book a really awesome and unexpected twist

I was so very happy to get to hear from everyone that I have come to love in this series and learn about the exciting things that are going on in their lives. For such a short story this book is totally packed with romance, laughter, surprises and love!

We get to see how everyone’s HEA is working out and get a glimpse into what may be coming in their futures. I think the only thing I didn’t like about this book is that it is supposed to be the last one in the series…that is so totally not cool! Come on Jessie…you know you want to write some more about these guys! I know Fire and Icing touches on them as well…but after reading those books I’m still dying for more!

Both the Fire and Icing series as well as all of the books in the Always a Bridesmaid series are extremely high on my recommended list! These books are all amazingly quick and definitely awesome reads that you will not want to miss out on!

A Summerville Short Story
Always a Bridesmaid Book 4

A bad case of the love bug…

John O’Grady has been making a reputation for himself as a player since returning to Summerville. The former geek turned sexy tattoo artist has been loving the single life, bringing home a new girl every weekend. That is, until he meets Kitty, and catches a bad case of the love bug. Too bad Kitty seems to be immune to his infamous charm…

Kitty Nance is convinced she’s cursed. It’s been over a year since she’s made it past date three with a guy, and she’s begun to think she’ll never meet Mr. Right Now, let alone Mr. Right. Jonn O’Grady seems like a great guy, but she’s not going to risk her heart until he’s proved he’s ready for more than a fling.

John agrees to three tests, and the couple set out on a day of adventure to see if they’re mismatched or meant to be.

I really enjoyed Catching You. John and Kitty are both super characters that kept me begging for more. I’m not typically a huge fan of novellas…I just feel that things are rushed and not nearly as much fun. I am always left with that feeling that something is missing…

However, Jessie Evans has a way of writing novellas that makes me forget that the book is short. Things are far from rushed and so well developed and detailed that there is nothing left for me to question…that is unless there is supposed to be a cliffie at the end.

Jessie’s writing style is so addictive that I am already drooling for the next book before I finish the one I’m reading. I keep finding myself trying to figure out who gets a story next. Which characters that met do I get to hear from! It’s exciting and I love it! I am definitely an official Jessie Evan’s junkie!

Catching You is short and sweet with a romance to die for! I spent pretty much this entire book with a huge grin on my face and a smile in my heart. I highly recommend not only this book but the entire series!

“I am in love! I cannot wait to read more of this series! The only bad part about it is that there are only two more books!” ~Becca

This ebook contains three full-length novels:

*Betting on You (Always a Bridesmaid 1)

*Keeping You (Always a Bridesmaid 2)

*Wild for You (Always a Bridesmaid 3)

-BETTING ON YOU:

He’d always bet on her, always…

Lark March is over Mason Stewart, so over him she’s practically forgotten the cruel way he ended things four years ago. At least that’s what she’s told her sisters… But when Mason shows up at her best friend’s wedding, talking sweet and looking even sweeter, Lark can’t deny the man still gets to her in a major way.

-KEEPING YOU:

A marriage of insanity…

Aria March and Nash Geary’s first summer fling ended badly, very badly, and they haven’t spoken a civil word to each other since they were teens.

Twelve years later, Aria is back in Summerville, fighting for custody of her little girl, and it sure wouldn’t hurt her case to be in a committed relationship. Fresh from a nasty breakup, Nash will do anything to one-up Rachael, the woman who broke his heart a few months ago, even agree to a marriage of inconvenience to Aria March.

-WILD FOR YOU:

This good girl’s about to go wild…

Melody March has always been the sweet little sister everyone could count on, but lately she’s longed to let her hair down and try something new. She tells herself it has nothing to do with bad boy, Nick Geary, or the steamy kiss they shared a month ago, but she can’t deny the sexy, tattoo artist has gotten under her skin. She’s determined to show him she’s got what it takes to enjoy a walk on the wild side.

Fans of Bella Andre, Kristan Higgins, and Susan Mallery will love the Summerville romance series, stories featuring sassy Southern women and the alpha males who love them.

It’s official…I am a Jessie Evans addict with a serious one-click problem!!

No, really…someone needs to save my bank account from her books!! I was lucky enough to get a few in exchange for a honest review and I swear it just made my addiction worse!! I have been stuck in bed sick for two days..and in that time I have read 10 books by Jessie!

This boxed set contains books 1-3 of the Always a Bridesmaid series and I can say that without a doubt I am hooked on the people of Summerville and am absolutely thrilled that the Fire and Icing series takes place in the same town!

So let’s talk books a bit…

Betting on You (Always a Bridesmaid 1)

Lark and Mason’s story is sweet and deliciously detailed. This is an amazing second chance romance that had me hooked from page one. The characters are well developed, including the ‘background’ characters. As readers, we learn so much so fast it could easily be overwhelming. However, somehow Jessie manages to make it easy to take in. The romance flows realistically and keeps you on your toes. I am in awe of Jessie’s writing style and thoroughly enjoying this series.

Keeping You (Always a Bridesmaid 2)

I think that Aria and Nash’s romance is by far my favorite in the series. I adore the angst and enemies turned lovers story. Again, the characters are extremely well developed and so real that I swear I could roll into Summerville and meet them if I tried! The romance is fast, fun and intense and yet flows beautifully. The deeper into the lives of the people of Summerville I get the more I want!

Wild for You (Always a Bridesmaid 3)

Oh gosh…Nick and Melody’s story was just awesome! I still think Aria and Nash are my fave, but these two aren’t far behind! I mean come on, who doesn’t enjoy a little girl next door with a bad boy? While those two descriptions seem accurate at first, as we get further into their story it is easy to see that both Nick and Melody are both so much more than what they seem. Watching as their relationship grows and they figure out who they truly are while bringing out the best in one another is just priceless. Such a sweet story!

Overall thoughts…

Oh my gosh! I am in love! I cannot wait to read more of the Always a Bridesmaid series! The only bad part about it is that there are only two more books! I’m going to be soooo sad when I’m done But hey…at least I get to read the Fire and Icing books next!
