*OMG say what? The first chapters of Be With Me by J.Lynn are out? Hell yeah!*

HI Brats :)

We have something super special for you today! (EEEEEEP!!) In just a few days, J. Lynn will be publishing the much anticipated (sort of) sequel to her NYT bestselling title, Wait For You. Be With Me, coming Feb 4th, is the story of Cam's little sis, Tess, and his best friend, Jase… #Sigh…. I love stories like this one - you know, boy falls for his best friends' little sister! So what's so special about today? Well, TheSecretBookBrat, along with some other cool blogs, has been given the privilege to share the first 5 chapters of Be With Me! ((SQUEEEEEEE!!)) And if it doesn't make you want to read this story bad enough, there's something really wrong with you!! So, enough blabbering from me (Tamsyn) - here's the good stuff… :) P.S Be sure to read Wait For You AND Trust In Me too!! :)




Teresa Hamilton is having a rough year—she’s in love with her big brother’s best friend, but he hasn’t spoken to her since they shared a truly amazing, mind-blowing, change-your-life kiss. She got out of a terrible relationship. And now an injury is threatening to end her dance career for good. It’s time for Plan B – college. And maybe a chance to convince Jase that what they have together is real.

Jase Winstead has a huge secret that he’s not telling anyone. Especially not his best friend’s incredibly beautiful sister. Even though he and Teresa shared the hottest kiss of his life, he knows that his responsibilities must take priority. He certainly doesn’t have time for a relationship. But it doesn’t help that all he can think about kissing the one girl who could ruin everything for him.

As they’re thrown together more and more, Jase and Tess can’t keep denying their feelings for each other. But a familiar danger looms and tragedy strikes. As the campus recovers, the star-crossed couple must decide what they’re willing to risk to be together, and what they’re willing to lose if they’re not…

Be With Me Excerpt



Okaaaaay….. If that doesn't convince you to ((pre-order)) RIGHT.THIS.MINUTE… then maybe you need some extra motivation…..






Or maybe this will…..

NO? Okay, this DEFINITELY will…


……. '1 Click' it…. Because I know you want to meet Tess and Jase… On a farm…Near a barn… and in the damn hay!!



Some things are worth waiting for…

Traveling thousands of miles from home to enter college is the only way nineteen-year-old Avery Morgansten can escape what happened at the Halloween party five years ago—an event that forever changed her life. All she needs to do is make it to her classes on time, make sure the bracelet on her left wrist stays in place, not draw any attention to herself, and maybe—please God—make a few friends, because surely that would be a nice change of pace. The one thing she didn’t need and never planned on was capturing the attention of the one guy who could shatter the precarious future she’s building for herself.

Some things are worth experiencing…

Cameron Hamilton is six feet and three inches of swoon-worthy hotness, complete with a pair of striking blue eyes and a remarkable ability to make her want things she believed were irrevocably stolen from her. She knows she needs to stay away from him, but Cam is freaking everywhere, with his charm, his witty banter, and that damn dimple that’s just so… so lickable. Getting involved with him is dangerous, but when ignoring the simmering tension that sparks whenever they are around each other becomes impossible, he brings out a side of her she never knew existed.

Some things should never be kept quiet…

But when Avery starts receiving threatening emails and phone calls forcing her to face a past she wants silenced, she’s has no other choice but to acknowledge that someone is refusing to allow her to let go of that night when everything changed. When the devastating truth comes out, will she resurface this time with one less scar? And can Cam be there to help her or will he be dragged down with her?

And some things are worth fighting for…

t’s Wait for You as you’ve never seen it. Trust in Me lets you in on Cam’s side of the #1 New York Times Bestselling story.

Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women. But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life – literally – he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues. But Cam’s not ready to give up. He can’t get the feisty and intriguing girl out of his head.

Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings Cam knows she has for him. Will persistence (and some delicious homemade cookies) help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shut out of Avery's life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?

*Blog Tour: Savor by Monica Murphy*

Hi Brats :) We are super excited to be part of the blog tour for Monica Murphy's 'Savor', the final installment in her Billionaire Bachelors Club series :)




SAVOR Synopsis:
New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy concludes her sexy Billionaire Bachelors Club series with a fiery romance that refuses to be left at the office…
Bryn James can’t take much more. Smart, sexy Matthew DeLuca is everything she wants in a man, but he’s also her boss—the youngest, hottest vineyard owner in the Napa Valley—and he doesn’t see her as anything more than his shy assistant. That’s all about to change. Armed with a hot new look and an attitude to match, Bryn is determined to catch Matt’s eye… professionalism be damned.
With his winery’s grand reopening approaching, Matt is trying to stay focused, but Bryn is suddenly making it very difficult. He’s always thought her prim demeanor effortlessly sexy, but Matt can’t deny that her transformation is jaw-dropping …and going to make it very difficult to keep his hands to himself.
But when one thing leads to another and suddenly Matt is stripping Bryn bare, he’ll be faced with the biggest risk of his career—and his heart. Can he convince her—and himself—that this might just be more than a no-strings office affair?

Savor is the final installment in Monica Murphy's Billionaire Bachelor's Club series, and our boy Matt DeLuca is the last man standing - or is he? 
Matt DeLuca has been working hard to get his new winery ready for it's relaunch, which has left little time for much else, let alone an office romance. But he soon finds himself drawn to his shy office assistant, Bryn, who uses drab, boring clothes and 'old lady' hairstyles to keep herself from getting into any unnecessary trouble with the opposite sex. Underneath all that, Bryn is a stunning, confident woman who is convinced that her good looks are nothing but a magnet for drama when it comes to men, and her track record only proves that - but when her heart starts skipping an involuntary beat fro her new boss, Matt, Bryn is torn between playing a game she cows very well, and ignoring her feelings… With a bit of friendly encouragement, Matt and Bryn meander between a steamy love affair, and an office fling, but continue to be held back - Bryn won't make the same mistake twice, and Matt want's to be the last man standing in the bet he made with his two best friends…
This book was another sweet and sexy read from Monica Murphy with characters you can't help but LOVE. Matt is ten levels past the top of the hot-o-meter and aside from a brain for business, has an irresistible charm that women are drawn to. He's sexy, confident, and smart - a complete trifecta. Bryn comes across as shy, and timid, but underneath she's a wild child with blood that hums every time Matt is in the room. Her character is lovable, and sweet, and she's the heroine in this book that you'll be rooting for… 
My only issue? I thought there could've been a little more to the ending, and unless there's a 4th book we don't know about, it felt a little incomplete and abrupt. I would love to low what becomes of our sexy reformed bachelors, and yes, that means I want to know if they all get the happy ending that Archer and Ivy get :) 
All in all, LOVED LOVED LOVED it :)

ABOUT SAVOR:



New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy concludes her sexy Billionaire Bachelors Club series with a fiery romance that refuses to be left at the office…

Bryn James can’t take much more. Smart, sexy Matthew DeLuca is everything she wants in a man, but he’s also her boss—the youngest, hottest vineyard owner in the Napa Valley—and he doesn’t see her as anything more than his shy assistant. That’s all about to change. Armed with a hot new look and an attitude to match, Bryn is determined to catch Matt’s eye… professionalism be damned.

With his winery’s grand reopening approaching, Matt is trying to stay focused, but Bryn is suddenly making it very difficult. He’s always thought her prim demeanor effortlessly sexy, but Matt can’t deny that her transformation is jaw-dropping …and going to make it very difficult to keep his hands to himself.

But when one thing leads to another and suddenly Matt is stripping Bryn bare, he’ll be faced with the biggest risk of his career—and his heart. Can he convince her—and himself—that this might just be more than a no-strings office affair?







EXCERPT:

“Don’t be so cranky. It’s okay to admit you have a thing for Bryn.” Ivy leans forward in her chair, a secretive smile curling her lips. “I have a feeling she has a thing for you too, you know.”

I do know. And I can’t act on it. Bryn James works for me. She’s my assistant. She’s by my side constantly; we spend more time with each other than probably anyone else in our lives, especially lately what with the winery’s grand reopening approaching. She’s a representative of my business. If I were to fuck around with the help and the relationship fell apart, I’d be in huge trouble. She could screw me over financially every which way by suing me for sexual harassment and I’d be left with a limp dick in my hand and a ruined business.

Yeah. Not going to take the chance. Saw it happen with my father. Not going to let it happen to me.

“It doesn’t matter. Nothing can happen.” I send Ivy a stern look. “And this conversation can never leave this office.” Glancing over her shoulder, I try to see if Bryn is at her desk but the chair is empty.

Thank Christ.

Ivy’s expression goes solemn and she holds up three fingers. “This conversation stays here. Scout’s honor.”

“You were never a scout,” I mutter, afraid she’s making a promise on an untruth. She’ll probably just blab to everyone. Or specifically Archer and Gage. I don’t need to hear their shit.

And I am worrying way too much over this.

She laughs again. “I won’t say a word, I promise. But I need to tell you something, Matt.” She leans in close, her voice dropping. “She’s got a major crush on you. You might not see it but it’s there—sounding in her voice, shining in her eyes, every time she looks at you, talks about you. The way her body turns into yours every time the two of you are together . . . it’s pretty obvious. A body language expert would have a field day with you two.”

Body language expert? What the hell is Ivy talking about? “I have no idea what you’re referring to, but office crushes are just that. Crushes. Harmless attractions no one ever acts on. Period. End of story.”

This is what I keep telling myself. I can’t pursue anything with Bryn, no matter how much I’m tempted to. Not only would it be wildly inappropriate, dating my assistant, but we come from two different worlds. She seems nice and normal, quiet and unobtrusive, and I am anything but. My life has been a circus sideshow for years.

“I get it. You’re trying to do the right thing, and I admire that. So, of course you don’t see anything beyond an efficient assistant in Miss James.”

Well. Ivy’s not too far off the mark. When I first met Bryn, she hardly said two words, kept her head bent when I spoke to her and offered lots of yes-sir and no-sir answers. She had this way of almost blending in with the walls, like she didn’t want anyone to notice her.

So I didn’t.

As we got comfortable working together though, something happened. I’m thinking Ivy had a hand in Bryn’s slow transformation. She actually makes eye contact when she speaks to me, and she’s become somewhat animated. Started to wear bolder colors as well, drawing my attention to her chest though I keep my eyes averted as best I can.

These subtle changes made me notice all of the little things—like the color of her eyes (blue), how her hair looks (like silk and I want to touch it), and the tempting fullness of her lips (they’re spectacular).

Her gaze lingers when she looks at me and sometimes so does mine. Her smile softens, her voice drops lower when she speaks, sparking my imagination. Would she sound like that right before I kissed her? Took off her clothes? Took her to my bed?

Yeah. All of those are dangerous thoughts. I almost prefer the old Miss James. The one who was like the wallpaper—boring and nondescript. Mean to say, but hell, the last thing I need is a distraction.

And she’s become the biggest distraction I’m currently facing. The very last one I need.

Release Day Launch: Loving Cara by Kristen Proby*

We are so excited that Kristen Proby's LOVING CARA, the first book in her new Love Under the Big Sky Series, is now available!!







About LOVING CARA:

In this new Love Under the Big Sky series from a USA TODAY bestselling author, Cara agrees to tutor her former classmate's nephew—and learns some lessons in love!

Josh King is an expert at running his family’s multi-million dollar ranch in Montana. (And all that outside manual labor has done wonders for sculpting his six-foot-three body, too.) But as sure footed as he is when it comes to the ranch, Josh doesn’t know anything about how to deal with an adolescent boy—so when his twelve-year-old nephew, Seth, is dropped off on his doorstep, looking scared and acting surly as hell, Josh knows he needs help in straightening him out.

Cara Donovan loves her quiet life as a teacher in her sleepy hometown, so she jumps at the chance to make a little money over the summer as a tutor. But when she learns she’ll be teaching Josh King’s nephew, Cara’s sweet summer job gets a little bit hotter. Cara tries to focus all her attention on tutoring Seth, but Josh proves to be a delicious distraction, while Josh’s memories of the shy girl he once teased in high school are nothing like the beautiful woman he’s facing now. Can he persuade her that there’s more between them than a summer fling?








I was first introduced to Kristen’s work when I started reading her With Me In Seattle series and like most readers who know it, I fell hopelessly in love with the Montgomery clan and all their add-ons. When she announced that she would be writing a new series, the Love Under The Big Sky series, I was excited to see what she cooked up for us this time, and to see if it would be addictive as her With Me In Seattle series.
Loving Cara is nothing short of HOT HOT HOT, and everything I expected from Kristen. It was sweet, and sticky, and just so sexy it should really come with a warning!
Cara is a far cry from the frumpy, frizzy haired girl she was in high school. She’s now a teacher, with a voluptuous figure and curves in all the right places – wish Josh King, the high school hotty who used to tease Cara, finds irresistible. When Cara is asked to tutor Seth, Josh’s rebellious twelve year old nephew, she thinks it will be an easy summer job. Until she realizes that Josh King is interested, and it’s got everything to do with Chemistry.
Josh King is all grown up and running his families ranch quite successfully.  He knows women, but when it comes to twelve year old boys he knows less than nothing – which is why he’s asked for a tutor. But he wasn’t expecting Cara Donovan and her sexy-as-hell curves to show up.
What starts out as a fun, innocent flirtation, soon becomes hotter than the summer sun in Montana, and finds Josh and Cara heading down an unexpected road. Cara is forced to face her insecurities while Josh has to learn to live with Cara as a permanent fixture in his life…
Needless to say this book didn’t disappoint, and Cara and Josh are two more characters from Kristen Proby that people will LOVE. I loved the story, and the sex was just so.damn.hot! I can’t wait for the next book in this series J

*Blog Tour: Euphoria by Erin Noelle*

HI Brats!

Today the blog tour for Erin Noelle's 'Euphoria' makes a stop here at TheSecretBookBrat HQ :) Be sure to check out Michelle's 5 star review :)





Blurb


After a series of catastrophic misunderstandings and impulsively poor decision-making, Scarlett MacGregor finds herself once again torn between two loves, as different as they may be. Lacking proper closure with their relationship, accompanied by the overwhelming guilt for her role in his devastating downfall, Scarlett resolves to help Mason recover and reclaim his life as a budding rock star. However, now that he has finally claimed her as his, Ash Walker is bound and determined to keep her by his side, and he will go to any lengths necessary to do just that.



Mason Templeton has hit rock bottom. He’s in love with a girl whose heart and soul belong to another and he’s partied his way off of an international music tour that was supposed to be his big break. Returning home for rehab sounds like the worst possible way to start a new year, but when an unexpected friendship emerges, he begins to realize that maybe everything does happen for a reason.



Euphoria is the third and final installment of Scarlett, Ash, and Mason’s self-discovering journeys to happiness and understanding the meaning of true love ~ the kind that begs for complete surrender


Recommended for readers 17+ due to sexual content and harsh language.




EuphoriaReview byMichelle
WHERE do I start with this one??? This might be the hardest review I have ever had to write and I am going to try and do it without any major spoilers. I hate spoilers in reviews because in my opinion...the whole point of a review is to make people want to actually read the book. First of all, for those who are not aware, Euphoria is the 3rd book in the Book Boyfriend series which are written by Erin Noelle. If you haven’t read Metamorphosis and Ambrosia then you are going to want to avert your eyes and step away...now! Ok, now that we have that settled….as you all know, this series is a love triangle and is the story of Scarlett, Mason and Ash.



Euphoria picks up right where Ambrosia left off. In Ambrosia, Scar chose Ash and Mason has gone on a self- destructive, drug and alcohol induced bender. Ambrosia ends with Scar being called and told that Mason has overdosed and is in the hospital. Scarlett leaves Ash and rushes to be by Mason’s side. Mason wakes up and says the words that have haunted me for so many months…
“Am I in heaven now, Angel?”
Talk about GUTTED! This poor man has been through SO much :( Oh yeah...did I mention I am die hard, never wavering, true to a fault, 110% #teamMason? It is important that you know that but with that being said, I actually like Ash. I wish him no ill and feel he earned Scar’s love and deserves it. He just isn’t who I would pick. I will chose my tattooed, pierced, bad ass rocker boy any day of the week! Anyway...Mason is now awake and Scar is there and determined to help him get clean and not fail him again. She feels responsible for his downward spiral and wants to help him in any way she can so she makes him a promise…
“ I won’t fail you. I promise I won’t let you fall again.”
However, not even 24 hours after she says this, she is back in Ash’s arms and on a plane home leaving Mase to fend for himself. At this point I am thinking “here we go again...nasty, self centered Scar is back in this book” and I am getting kind of disappointed. Luckily, Erin Noelle must have known my heart couldn’t take another book of hating Scar (and I really did hate her in Ambrosia) and she turned my girl around.
Meanwhile, Mason looks like he is going to jump right back onto that path of self-destruction until he is given an ultimatum by his record label. Go to rehab and get clean or no more shows and no more touring. Luckily Mason makes the right decision and goes to rehab. While he is there, Scarlett comes to visit him on a regular basis and they find a way to make peace and be friends.  Scarlett realizes she will always love both of these men but her heart remains true to Ash with whom she is deliriously happy. I found that I was really able to make my peace with the whole Mason/Scar/Ash situation and I was happy with where they all were at in their lives. Scarlett and Ash were starting their lives together, Mason was clean, Scar and Mase were friends...life was good.  Of course, just as I am thinking “I like where this is headed and I can’t wait for my Mase to get a kick ass girl”...Erin does something that I TOTALLY did NOT see coming! I am talking about something SO huge...I was left looking like this...





You seriously cannot even comprehend what happens and I won’t tell you but be warned...I was reeling for DAYS! Book hangover does not even begin to describe how I felt. There isn’t a word for how I felt! Once I got air back in my lungs, got up off the floor,  and pushed my eyes back into their sockets, I was able to finish the book and this is what I have to say...
 Some people are going to hate this book. I have already witnessed quite a bit of this backlash. What people need to remember is that this is Erin’s story to tell. No one else’s. She wrote it how it played out in her head knowing that it would cause a shit storm with A LOT of people...and it did! This book is real life. Real life is not all rainbows and unicorns. Real life is ugly and things don’t always happen the way you expect them but that doesn’t mean you can’t still find a way to be happy. It just may be a different path than you expected to a different kindof happiness. I may not necessarily agree with the turn that the story took, but I respect Erin’s choice to write it the way she felt it and I ask you to keep this in mind as you read…
“ Many psychologists refer to euphoria as a state of intense happiness and self-confidence, a blissful self-clarity if you will, and most people throughout their lives search and strive for this feeling. Why many never achieve it is because they never learn how to love themselves. When you discover the true beauty of self-love, then and only then, will you experience pure euphoria.”

 I can’t even begin to tell you how much I loved this book! For me it was the best of the 3 so far and that is saying a lot because I adored Meta. Lastly, I will tell you that the Epilogue is probably the best one I have ever read in any book and it was truly EPIC for me. I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars because it was that good. I can’t recommend Euphoria enough! It is a MUST read…..



Excerpt 



Embracing her one last time, I whispered in her ear, “I love you, butterfly… ‘your curves and all your edges, and all your perfect imperfections.’ I’ll see you tomorrow night.”

“I love you, too, Ash. ‘You’re my end and my beginning; even when I lose, I’m winning,’” she whispered back. Then she grabbed her bag and headed for the security check point. Right
before turning the corner where I couldn’t see her anymore, she looked back at me and blew me
a kiss and made hand hearts. Damn, she was beautiful. I stood there for several minutes with a
goofy ass grin on my face. I wasn’t expecting her to sing the next lyrics of the song to me, but it
filled me with an indescribable feeling of warmth and love. ~Ash

*Release Day Launch: Drew + Fable Forever by Monica Murphy

We are so excited that DREW + FABLE FOREVER is now available for purchase! This novella is part of Monica Murphy's One Week Girlfriend Series and only .99 for a limited time!!!







ABOUT DREW + FABLE FOREVER:

Monica Murphy returns with her most beloved characters, Drew and Fable, in this eBook original short story that brings her bestselling New Adult series full circle.

Fantasy. How I ended up with NFL player Drew Callahan, the guy every woman wants, is beyond my wildest dreams. All I know is that once he chose me as his one and only, I sure wasn’t looking back. I had past wounds and he showed patience and concern—even accepting responsibility for my messed-up kid brother. Now, yet again, he's found a way to blow my mind: an exotic wedding and honeymoon miles and miles away from home. What else could a girl ever ask for?

Reality. Except now the honeymoon’s over. Drew's football schedule takes him on the road constantly, while I need to stay put and look after my brother until he finishes high school—because God knows our sorry excuse for a mother won’t. I know Drew loves me with all his heart, and I’ll always be over the moon about him. This just isn’t how I imagined life as newlyweds . . . dealing with the distance, missing him constantly. But we’ve gone through hard times before. We can get through this, too, right? We’re Drew and Fable, together forever. At least I hope so. . . .



EXCERPT:

“We should check out Ocean Avenue tomorrow,” Drew whispers close to my ear, amusement tingeing his deep voice.

“What? Are you serious?” Even though I’ve come to terms with being here, it doesn’t mean I want to linger and make it a serious vacation. Besides, Drew needs to get back home so he can resume practice.

“Well yeah, remember the spot where we kissed?” His eyes are warm as they search my face, filled with so much love I feel my heart swell.

“Yes,” I whisper achingly. “Of course I remember.”

“I want to go back there.” He tucks a strand of hair behind my ear, his index finger lingering on my skin. “I want to kiss you again in that little alley and remember how wet we were from the rain. How nervous I was. I was scared you might reject me.”

I’d felt the same way. We’d dealt with much of the same feelings and fears and hadn’t even known it.

“I want to take you to that store where you got the dress that just about killed me and buy you whatever you want,” he continues, his fingers drifting across my jaw. My eyes flutter closed as memories rush back at me. “I want to sit outside the dressing room and have you come out to show me every single thing you’re trying on.”

That he remembers all the little details sends a thrill of pleasure spiraling to the very depths of my soul.

“And then I want to wander off for a bit and let you do whatever you want, secretly hoping that you’ll send me a text that says marshmallow. Though if you don’t that’s okay because I’ll send you one instead.” He offers up a crooked smile and the sight of it cracks my heart wide open, overflowing with so much pure love for him I want to cry. “Because we made a deal. Whenever we see or hear that word, the other comes running. I’ll always be the one to rescue you, Fable. You never have to worry about that.”

Fallen Crest Publicreview byMichelle

What the heck is it about Mason Kade that makes me want to run up to him and drop my panties??? Dead serious. Not kidding. I just want to drop them and let him have his way with me...ANY way he choses. What is it about him?  I mean, I have A LOT of book boyfriends and they are all hot but….there is just something about Mason that DOES.IT.FOR.ME. I count the days waiting for these books to come out so needless to say I was practically giddythe day Fallen Crest Public showed up on my Kindle. I immediately dropped what I was doing and started reading. Read the entire book in one sitting  and as usual, Tijan did NOT disappoint! In fact, this book ended up being my favorite of the three so far :)

For those of you not familiar with the Fallen Crest books, this is the third book in the series behind Fallen Crest High and Fallen Crest Family. You will definitely want to read those before you read this one. FCP is the continuation of the story of Sam (Samantha) and brothers, Mason and Logan Kade.

It picks up right where FCF left off with Sam, Mason and Logan living at Mason’s friend Nate’s house after a huge blowout with Sam’s batshit crazy mom. It is the start of a new school year and Sam has transferred to Fallen Crest Public. She and Mason are still crazy in love with each other and still steaming up my Kindle screen with their all consuming, crazy hot, melt your panties off passion.

Mason is super protective of Sam and they just can’t get enough of each other. His feelings for her almost scare him with their intensity.
“ A part of me knew that Sam was different. I could tell her, and she wouldn’t use it against me, but I didn’t know for certain. I was too scared to find out, so I kept quiet. She knew I loved her. She just didn’t know how much.”
Not only are these two deeply in love, but the sexual chemistry is off the charts!
“I’m not going to be gentle. I’m not going to be quick. And you are going to be thoroughly fucked when I’m through with you.”

Good LAWD this man is hot!! I couldn’t get enough of the two of them together. And as much as I love their relationship, I also love the close relationship they both share with Logan. These three are the epitome of what family should be. They stick together, they protect each other and if you mess with one of them, you mess with ALL of them. This is Mason’s last year of high school before he goes away to college leaving Sam and Logan to their senior year. Sam is really struggling with this and what it will do to her and Mason’s relationship but as she starts junior year at her new school she soon realizes she has much bigger issues to worry about...The Tommy Princesses.
The Tommy Princesses, a group of nasty girls at school that used to hang out with the Kade brothers and their crew of friends has declared all out war on Sam. The Tommy Princesses are lead by Kate...think Regina George from Mean Girls but on crack and times 100!

That is how crazy and obsessed this girl is with ruining Sam’s life. She blames Sam for her and the other girls getting banished from hanging out with Mason’s crew. As a result, Sam is constantly on guard but also trying to handle the situation herself as opposed to telling Mason and Logan what is going on. Mason and Logan are having their own issues with the  Broudou brothers, guys from a rival high school,  who want to find out who Mason’s girlfriend is so they can use her to extract revenge on Mason. Nasty, disturbing revenge. Mason and Logan are doing everything in their power to keep this from happening. Their #1 goal is always protecting Sam.
One thing I really liked about this book was how much stronger Sam continues to get. She was so weak and whiny in book one but she has finally come into her own and is sticking up for herself and trying to solve her own problems. I think the biggest thing, however, that has drawn me to these books is the dynamic of the relationship between Sam, Mason and Logan. These three go through some serious obstacles in this book and some really crazy things happen but they remain true and loyal to each other. There are parts that will have you seething, parts that will make you cry and parts that will have you saying WTF?! Throughout it all...they always have each other.
“He was home. Logan was home. No matter all the changes, no matter where he was going. I was home for now.”
I can’t tell you enough how much I loved this book and how you NEED to read it! I will warn you that the end left me feeling like this…

Like I can’t believe that Tijan went THERE!! You will know exactly what I mean when you read it. Of course, now I am DYING for book 4 and all I can say is it better go my way or I may find myself standing on a very high bridge. I.Am.Invested. You feel me, Tijan???? Don’t let a girl down!! To the rest of you, read this book...ASAP! You will love it and you will love these characters. Fallen Crest Public is a 5 star read for this girl!

FALLEN CREST SERIES BOOK TRAILER














EXCERPT 




Kate’s sneer turned into a snarl. “You think you’re funny?”

One of the three added, “Maybe she’s taking lessons from Logan?”

Another snorted. “Probably. She needs all the lessons she can get.”

My smile had stretched from ear to ear now. It was genuine, too. “Is this another warning from you? I thought you moved past the cliché insults and name calling. Oh wait. You said lessons. Yes, that’s referencing that I’m dumb. That’s another cliché insult.” With my hand in the air, I lifted a finger with each point. “I’m ugly. I’m dumb. I have too much sex. Those are the three main ones most simpletons use to insult others. The clothes and the mannequin gave me hope. I thought you were starting to progress, but then I heard that you’ve already done that before. It’s recycled material. You guys need to find new stuff. You know what they say about comedians?” At their blank faces, I nodded. “What I expected. If they use old material, the act is boring. People move on. If you’re going to keep drawing fresh fear from everyone, you need new stuff.” I stood and patted Kate’s head. “You can do it. I believe in you.”

Logan stood by the door and held it open. Mason came in behind him. Both found me immediately. I wondered who had notified them, but then Kate grabbed my arm. She twisted it and got into my face. Her hand tightened on my arm and she lowered her voice, “You have until the end of the day to drop out of school. This is the last warning.”

A taunt rose to my tongue, but I swallowed it. The jokes were gone.

Three thoughts happened at the same time. David’s image flashed again. “Fuck it,” came next. Third, when I knew what I was going to do, I thought, “Let’s see how this goes.”

Kate’s eyes widened as she watched the myriad of expressions before she saw my intent. Her hand let me go, and she started to back away, but it was too late. My hand latched onto hers instead, and I took one second to comment, “Bet you weren’t expecting this,” I said before my other hand grabbed the back of her head and used all my body weight to slam her head into the table.

*Cover Reveal: Who I Am by S.Q Williams*

Some stories aren’t easy to tell. Some situations aren’t easy to relive. But I was raised to be strong—to hold my own. Because of it, I was hurt, torn down, beaten and even had my heart snatched right out of my chest. But I’m ready now. It’s time for me to speak up. You want to know what really goes on inside my head, well I’m right here. Real. Raw. Intense. This is all me. Roy Sykes. This is my story, and trust me… its far from pretty. Without another second to waste, I open the door and hop out. Loads of screams fill my eardrums, and I fight a smile. I guess, after a while, it feels good to be wanted. To be appreciated. I can’t ask for more enthusiastic fans.Deed climbs out with his so-called “lucky drumsticks” in hand and waves at the wild girls behind the ropes. They holler at the top of their lungs, clambering over each other, wailing, and stretching their arms for a feel of us as we walk by.“Roy, you’re so fucking hot! I love you!” one girl says. I don’t know who says it, and I don’t bother looking to find out.“Deed! Let me have you!” That one isn’t for me, so I keep chugging.“Roy! Please! Let me touch your hair!” Okay. I admit that one makes me laugh, but again, I don’t look.“Roy Sykes… remember me?” For some reason, that calm, familiar voice catches my attention. I jerk my gaze up, and as soon as I meet the sky blue eyes I never thought I’d see again, I stop dead in my tracks. The girls continue to holler and reach for me, but I’m in the middle of the runway, shocked… stunned.She looks the same—actually better. Her hair is longer, her face still flawless. She’s wearing a shimmery silver dress, revealing her long, creamy legs, with heels to match, and seeing her like this—hotter than ever before—leaves me completely speechless.Taking one last step forward, close enough to see her clearly among the thick crowd, I part my lips, a part of me not wanting to say her name ever again, but a part of me yearning to roll it off my tongue. “Rose?” I murmur.I’m sure she can’t hear me over the screaming, but I know she’s read my lips because she looks from them to my eyes and nods. “Yes,” she says, thrilled. “It’s me, Roy. Rosemarie Beretta.”
