How I wish...

Excerpt "Boy In A Band": He picked up his acoustical guitar, the one I just put down, and sat on the bed next to me. His first song was Pink Floyd’s “How I Wish You Were Here”. I listened and was sure he had chosen it specifically, knowing I would hear the words, the story. “We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year. Oh, how I wish you were here,” he sang. TODAY ON TOUR--hookedonbooksforever.blogspot.com & naughtygirlsofromance.com

Jack's

"BOY IN A BAND" & "CASANOVA COWBOY" on blog tour till June 11 Twinsietalk.com Excerpt "Boy In A Band": “Jack’s it is then,” he said, pushing the eight-track in. Carly Simon came blasting out. He sang the words to "You’re So Vain". I couldn’t help but laugh. He didn’t much like my sappy kind of music. “I’m learning,” he said glancing at me. “Learning what? I hardly imagine you up on stage doing Carly Simon.” He took the exit towards Jack’s not Gayle’s. “I said Gayle’s,” I repeated firmly. He wasn’t listening. I had mixed emotions about being with him. The butterflies were confused, but they were there, as was the pressure in my chest.

Hate…a strong word

I usually post about 5*'s but today I'm going to post about a 1* on "Boy In A Band". The reader that posted it said she hated the book, hated the characters, hoped I hadn't written another, and then ended with she hated to post negative reviews. How do I feel about this? It makes me really value the readers that take the time to post that they loved the book. Those readers get me and my style of writing. It also made me look backwards and try to figure out if I ever hated a book, and hated it enough to write a nasty review; no can't say that I have. There have been some books I didn't like as much as other's, but I've never HATED one. She claimed she almost couldn't finish it. Well here's what I really don't understand----why did she then? If you hate something so much, why waste your time? I know my style won't appeal to everyone so negative reviews I can't focus on too much, especially when the 5*'s clearly overshadow the 3 1*'s. And as for writing another book, well sitting down at my keyboard today!

***** Thanks Tracy!

Tracy Brewer rated a book Boy in a Band (A Morgan Mallory Story) by Lisa Loomis Read EMOTIONAL WRECK!!!! Like how do I get this book off my mind? Book High..... 5+ stars...... Some Love it and some Hate it.... I felt both! In the end.... Genius! I read this awhile ago. I got this when it was FREE and after reading a book that I wasn't too pleased with, I needed a pick me up and Rock Stars always do that to me.... I desperately NEEDED something to get me out of my FUNK and leave me panting and my "Happy place" happy! I scrolled through my recent books.... thinking Okay...what usually gets me out of a book Funk.... I know... A hot as Fuck - All Alpha Rock star or Alpha Bad-ass Biker! This one is about a Rock Star.... yes please....What I didn't realize is this was going to have me on such an emotional roller coaster and book high for days.... Lisa Loomis Freaking rocks! This started out in the 70's which is completely different than any other book I have read thus far and it grabs you by the balls and doesn't let go. It opens up in the 70's when both characters - Morgan and Matthew- are 12 and it follows them for a span of 30 + years. Middle school, High school, College and there after..... So hang on my book nerds.... this one is an emotional ride. A very long friendship. Morgan and Matthew have a friendship...a best frienship, for almost their entire lives. He plays guitar and that's kind of their thing together... she'll ask for him to play her a song and he will...That comes into play later.... a HUGE part of the story.... There is a lot of sex, drugs and of course, rock n roll. Morgan loved Matthew from the moment she met him. We watch Matthew go through his groupies like dirty underwear, we watch him play with Morgans emotions and "Friend Zone" her on more than one occasion. The sexual tension is undeniable. Just when we think Matthew has realized he is totally in love with her.... NOPE! He shits on her again. I wanted to scream on several occasions. Mad as hell that Morgan is so naive and keeps letting Matthew pull her back in and also mad as hell at Matthew for being such a total douche bag! They make you want to reach in and strangle them both. He acts jealous if she hangs out with guys yet he won't commit and be exclusive to her for most of the book. Once he forms his band.... he starts to change.... he gets caught up in that lifestyle and that's when he starts treating Mallory in my opinion, like one of his groupies. Morgan eventually finds Ryan, who gives her what she wants. His whole heart and she finally finds True Love. This doesn't sit well with Matthew...... Could he be a day late and a dollar short? It definitely isn't your predictable Cinderella HEA love story. This book made my heart hurt....on many occasions. It also made my heart happy. I literally bawled like a freaking baby.... real crocodile tears. I even cried twice more trying to tell A friend A and my daughter about the book... I don't give spoilers, but will say this I was pissed several times at the author in between the tears and the snot running from my nose. She was BRILLIANT! I have spread the word and have had several read this already. One click this bitch and Grab your tissues because Lisa takes you on an Emotional Roller Coaster. You Rock Kid! ;) I was on a book high for days!

Wild, Wild, horses...

Excerpt:

            Mathew smiled at me as he finished my perfect s’more. He picked up his guitar and strummed, his hair falling forward as he tuned. The firelight danced off everyone’s faces as we all waited for him to play. He started his first song, “Wild Horses”, by the Rolling Stones. He sang it softly, and everyone stopped talking and listened. He’d chosen my favorite song.            “Wild, wild, horses, couldn’t drag me away from you,” he sang.             My heart didn’t feel as desperate for him tonight as it could—I was such an emotional yoyo when it came to him.

Ah-choo

            “Sit here,” Ryan said patting the hay next to him.            Tracy took off her sandals and sat down dropping her legs out of the opening as well.             “Ah-choo,” she sneezed.            “Sorry it’s a little dusty and even more so cause I moved the hay around.”            “It’s okay,” she said. “Look at that moon.”             She said it with awe, like she’d never seen one before and moved closer to him as they silently admired the almost full moon, big and bright in the sky.
