Paint Me Beautiful: a Tale of Anorexia, a Love Story, and the Rebirth of Claire Simone
(P.S. If you can’t see the content, try scrolling all the way down!)
“I’m dying to be beautiful.”
My story isn’t unique. You’ve heard it before. I’m just a girl who doesn’t eat as much as she should. See, I have goals, big ones, and nobody is going to stop me, not even a boy named Emmett. He has good intentions and he’s hot as hell, but he doesn’t understand what it’s like to want something so bad that you’ll do anything for it. I’m going to become a model, even if it kills me. Dream big or go home, that’s what they always say, right?

Quote for Cover: “I love you Kenna and I will never lose you. I promise.”
Official Blurb:
There are three rules when it comes to being a vampire in New Orleans. 1) Don’t kill dinner. 2) Don’t feed from people you know. 3) Don’t tell anyone. Not too hard, right? Wrong. Kenna is a new vampire filled with a passion that has turned into an uncontrollable lust for blood.
Will Arthur be able to stop her feeding spree before the coven comes after her or is Kenna beyond saving?
Arthur has been watching Kenna for years, wanting her to try her own hand in life before he gave her the ultimate proposal. Now that she has accepted, will his love be enough to save her?
MY REVIEW
UNKNOWN STAR RATING SINCE I HAVEN’T READ IT YET!
I got a review copy for this book, and it is on the top of my to-read list, BUT as you may know, I just released a new book, Keeping Never, a few days ago, and I haven’t gotten the chance. What I can tell you though is that Jennifer Martinez is one of the coolest people I have ever met, so you know, that will definitely translate over into her writing! You can’t have as wicked awesome a personality as she’s got and not write something cool beans. So, even though I haven’t read it yet, I did want to share it with you, so you could add to your to-read list and get ready to rock! Don’t forget to join Jennifer’s Facebook event to win some crazy cool stuff.

AUTHOR BIO:
One day while slaving away at her monotonous day job, Jennifer Martinez found her true calling. Like a firefly in the night, the pages called to her. Once she caught the bug there was no stopping it. Her fingers flew furiously across the keyboard winding tales of love, mystery and anger. She snapped out of her reverie to find herself still behind the desk but at least she knew who she was… Author Jennifer Martinez.
I like to think of myself as a beautiful conundrum. When I am not writing, I can be found surrounded by my amazing family and 4 dogs or volunteering at a local animal rescue. I love who I am and don’t mind at all when I get strange looks from people. I am a tattoo covered, child and animal lover who looks forward to destroying peoples preconceived notions of what “someone like me” would be interested in. You only live life once… you may as well make it interesting.
I love to get lost in a good book and hope that everyone will get lost in mine.

Valentine’s Blog Hop!
Welcome, welcome, welcome! So, we all know Valentine’s Day is like, the coolest holiday ever, right? 
Okay, well maybe not for some. Well, maybe not for a lot of us! But that’s why we have book boyfriends, right? Anyhow, it isn’t great for the character in my new short story either. It’s aptly titled “F*** Valentine’s Day”. Please check out the blurb and sample chapter and let me know what you think! I am releasing this book on the big day along with another V Day story called “A Werewolf Valentine’s” which may sound familiar to you if you’ve read the first book in my Howling Holiday miniseries, “A Werewolf Christmas”. If you want to check that out, it’s only 99 cents on Amazon, Smashwords, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble.

So today we’re participating in the Valentine’s Blog Hop brought to you by the Release Day Diva. The theme here is the best/worst Valentine’s Day date ever. In “F*** Valentine’s Day”, I wrote up the absolute hottest date I could come up with, so now it’s your turn. Write me up one in the comments – real or fake – and then use your entry to wrack up some credits for the new Rafflecopter I’ve got cooking below!
Here’s mine!
What a way to start V-Day (A F*** Valentine’s Day Excerpt)
I woke to a very loud, very raucous knock at my door. I rolled over and groaned, assuming that Gen and her boy toy were busy fucking against it. Wouldn’t have been the first time.
“Andi, there’s some super hot guy here to see you.” And then she gave me a very gracious five seconds to react to the news, roll over and squint at the door as it opened and in walked Quinn. He was wearing a black tank that showed off his beefy shoulders and various skull tattoos. He had plugs in his lower earlobes today and a beanie on his head, covering up his Mohawk do. Little bits of red hair stuck out the front like bangs.
“Sorry,” he said as he made a sort of grimacing face at my current state, all sleepy eyed and disoriented. “But your friend said you were in desperate need of something and that I should come up here?” I tried to glare at Genevieve, but she was already gone, probably scouting out her next boy. Or girl. Gen swung both ways.
“Um,” I struggled to sit up and felt a strange pull in my shoulder. Pain rocketed through my body making me scream out in pain. It felt like Scar Face was behind me, twisting my arm into a very awkward, very uncomfortable position.
“Shit!” Quinn said as he leapt to my rescue and … unhooked … my … handcuffs. He held the furry purple plastic cuffs in one hand and stared at me with his baby blues. I was sitting with my teeth clenched, arm lying across my knees as I tried to breathe through my nose. I fell asleep with them on again. Masturbating to … the dick pic. Wow, this is awkward.
“There’s a rational explanation to all of this,” I explained as Quinn stared at me and a rictus grin spread across his smooth face. He might’ve been the ‘bad boy’ archetype, but he didn’t have quite as nice a face as Preston, not as manly. Quinn had a rounder jaw and smoother cheeks whereas Preston had a nice, strong jaw and bones sculpted by the Gods. And you’re comparing them why? Why are you even thinking about Preston Ellis?
“You like to get your kink on, right?” Quinn said and then he kissed me. Just leaned over the bed and kissed me. He started off with a bang, too. There was none of that sweet, romance-y stuff where we like, tasted each other’s souls or anything. He just shoved his hot, slick tongue in my mouth and started Frenching the shit out of me.
Rational Andi: Kick this bitch’s ass! Who the hell does he think he is?
Horny Andi: I am feeding you cyanide first chance I get. Shut your damn mouth. This guy is HOT.
I reached up and wrapped my arms around Quinn’s neck, pulling him down between my knees where I could feel his hot, hard body very clearly against mine. He had an erection that was poking me through the thin blanket that separated us. Did I mention I wasn’t wearing any panties? Kind of took ‘em off to masturbate. I had brief thoughts of remorse that Quinn wasn’t my Mystery Man and vice versa, but decided to roll with it for a second. I mean, Quinn Prentis was kissing me. Seriously, how cool was that? Granted, I had turned him down before, but that was only because Rational Andi was in control. Now that that bitch was poisoned, I could finally get a nibble of this boy with the hard ass and the sexy growl that he was not afraid to use as he reached down and unbuttoned his pants.
Rational Andi: I’m not dead, yet, bitch. Get a grip on yourself, seriously.
I struggled to say something to Quinn, anything at all. No words would come out, just moans as he freed his cock from his pants and proceeded to rub it against my clit through the blanket. Is this dry humping? I wondered and then, No, this is at least wet humping. Oh my god … Wet humping … Yes!
“You are so hot, beautiful,” Quinn said as he pressed his mouth to mine and knocked our teeth together. It was kind of hot. “Hottest calc babe I know.”
“I’m not exactly a babe,” I said and then, “Oh!” as Quinn started nibbling my ear. I reached my hands under his shirt and felt along his muscles. They were rock solid and slick with just a bit of sweat (probably because Gen leaves the heater on all the damn time). I explored his shoulders and upper back, dragged my nails along his flesh, and opened my legs. Quinn didn’t move the blanket though, just kept his rhythm going until we were both moaning like alley cats.
Bang! Zip! BAM!
“Holy shit!” I screamed as I came, wrapping my legs around Quinn’s ripped midsection, squeezing his body in a vice grip between my thighs. He paused for a moment while I shuddered in his arms, throwing my head back into my pillows and making a complete ass out of myself. When I was finished, I had tears in my eyes, not from an emotional response or anything but just because it felt so damn good.
“Hey beautiful,” Quinn whispered after a few seconds.
“It’s Andi.”
“Do you think you could, um, help me out a little?” Quinn sat back and showed me his, uh, problem. It was about six inches long and totally uncircumcised.
I sort of panicked and shoved him off onto the floor. Not because of the whole not circumcised thing, but because I had just orgasmed in the arms of a guy who hadn’t even known my name until like, two days ago.
“Where are you going?” he asked as I stumbled out of bed with the sheets wrapped around my waist. “You’ve got that condom on your bedside table. You sure you don’t want to finish?” I grabbed a bra from the top drawer of my dresser and yanked a random dress off its hanger without bothering to look at what it was.
“Sorry, Quinn. I have to get to calc.” I paused. “You should go, too. We have a pop quiz today.”
Mwah!

~*****SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO MY LOVELY FRIENDS, FAMILY AND READERS*****~
Hello everyone! First of all, I want to thank all of you for your support and your friendship during the last few weeks and months and most especially the last few crazy days. You have been nothing but kind to me, and have been so wonderful that I can’t help but feel blessed. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you profusely and to let you know that I have been super swamped lately, so if I didn’t reply to a post/tag/email/or PM, I most likely still saw it and it made me smile. =)
I have been getting busier and busier lately, but will do my best to respond to everyone individually. If you don’t hear back from me in a few days, it’s probably best to assume that you need to message me again. LOL. With the exception of the folks listed below (unless I contacted you specifically), I have sent out any prizes/review copies that were earned at my last few parties/blog tours/etc. If you have not heard from me or received something and were expecting it, please PM me here on Facebook directly!
Also, I have not yet tackled all the emails I need to tackle and will be working through those in the next few days, so if you’re waiting on one of those, contact me on Tuesday of next week if you don’t hear from me. I will be a bit scarce on Facebook in the next few weeks because I have a really awesome but brutal writing schedule planned!!!
Once again, thank you for being there, for reading my books, and for showing me love where I never expected to find any!
Mwah!
Thanks lovelies!
xXx
