Invincible by Alana AlbertsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
First off, I want to say that I had things I had wanted to get done today (my day off). Too bad that never happened.
This was an awesome book. The author in me catches typos and grammatical errors which is why this is a 4 star rating rather than 5 star.
I started reading this book this morning with the premise of seeing what the book was like before working on things around the house but never got around to putting it back down. I loved the storyline and cried at a few parts of it.
I highly recommend this book to others because it is an awesome read and will keep you on the edge of your seat -- Personally I think the storyline would make a great movie.

5 of 5 starsRead in May, 2014Great Book. Nothing fancy just a great story that is so easy to get into, I was done before I knew it and wanted the next book A.S.A.P.
Life is good at throwing us curve balls some of us take the bat and hit it out of the park, some of us not so much. Jordan has had life throw her some nasty fastballs but still survives.
Scarred really was a great story that was so easy to read I finished it in about 3 hours. And every minute was worth it.
Teresa's review May 12, 145 of 5 starsRead in May, 2014Every story has two sides, thats how the saying goes. Well this is Gavin's side. He thinks he has finally found the one and only, only to lose her at every turn.
Life throws him some nasty turns but he just keeps rolling with the punches, because one day he and Jordan will finally be in the same place at the same time. BUT WHEN.
After getting the biggest shock of his life he finds Jordan left some details out.
I cannot wait to read the next book to see just how he works those details out with Jordan. She really does have a " coming to Jesus" moment due..
Just read it, you will love it and it will be worth every minute you take.

SHATTEREDTeaser
Growing up, I thought my life was perfect. Well, at least close to perfect. My family is the absolute best; we are close. I grew up with my mom and my brother. Of course, my grandma, grandpa, aunts and uncles have been there too. Mom gets aggravated sometimes, especially when my grandma tries to tell her how to live her life; well that and when grandma tries to tell mom how to raise her kids.
You have to understand how our family dynamic works here. You see, my grandma feels like she has to control and manage everything. I mean everything. She almost acts like a matriarch with the control she feels she should have. My aunts let her take control for the most part. My mom, now she is a whole different story. My mom’s name is Jordan and she is a very strong, independent woman. Everyone in the family says she has always been that way. Stubborn, that is what grandma says mom is. I guess mom just marches to the beat of a different drummer. You know, the black sheep. It drives grandma crazy. Me, well I have grown up with them going head to head so it is perfectly normal for me...
...Never in my entire life, would I have ever expected the secret that has been kept from everyone to turn my life upside down. But it did. It shattered me and everything I ever believed in.

Tease Me by Olivia CunningMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I started reading the Sole Regret series one night when I found one of her combined books and thought that I could read a little and be done without staying up all night to get to the end of the book. I figured if it actually had three books I could get through one quickly and get to sleep.
I was very, very wrong. Now this is another series I have to keep up with and wait for the next in the series.
I love this book, this series, all of it and find myself dying for the next one to come out.
If you are going to start reading this series, my suggestion is to go to the very beginning and read "Share Me". I was not as fortunate to get this one first but it all ties together and you will love it.

C.R. GressAuthor Biography
I am an indie author of erotic romance books. My debut novel "Scarred" is currently available on Amazon Kindle as well as available in paperback. "Scarred" is book 1 in the "Scars Series" while book 2, "Wounded by Her" will hopefully be available March 2014.
After stressing myself out for most of my life and obtaining three engineering degrees, I decided it was in my best interest, for my health, that I uproot the family and move to the east coast of Florida. Then add to that the fact that I refuse to work in the engineering field rather I wait tables at a local restaurant and write books in my spare time.
I am married with two teenagers and a very spoiled pit bull but we love living at the beach year round. The family enjoys boating, swimming, fishing and more while I enjoy being around lots of different people at work as well as stay in shape with all the running. I love Rock-n-Roll music and spend a lot of time at concerts around the region. I also love riding Harley motorcycles and can be thought of as the redneck type.
