Tuesday, March 24, 2015
An Ordinary Me by Author Brooklyn Taylor
SYNOPSIS:
From the outside looking in Garrison Davis seems like every other senior in high school. On the inside though, he’s an emotional wreck promising to not love anyone. He chooses to protect himself by vowing solitude. His dad is in prison for dealing drugs; his mother is a recovering addict and an emotional mess. The only thing that brings him joy is playing the drums and that feeling of being needed by his band. It is his escape, his passion. No one gets hurt or disappointed. That is until he lays his eyes on Reese at school. She is the exact example of what he cannot let himself get involved in. He would do nothing but drag her down with him.
“I want to tell her and show her how much I love her. I had loved her from the first time I spotted her in that courtyard smiling but I can’t, I won’t. She deserves so much more than I can offer. I’m the spawn of a drug dealer and an addict. I have never let myself love another person and now… I love her so much it hurts.”
Reese Owens is the exact opposite of Garrison. Inside she’s beaming; growing up in a happy home and on the outside she was a duck out of water. Her parents are the over protective set but are finally loosening the jail bars. Sophomore year in high school, she has never dated a boy and is envious of the social life her best friend Autumn Welch has. She meets Garrison and is instantly attracted to him. He pulls away when she pushes in. A whole new world opens up to Reese and she finds herself falling into situations she can’t get herself out of. Making bad decision after bad decision, she finds out the hard way on how life is full of choices. The one thing she wants more than anything is Garrison’s attention which she doesn’t get in return.
“How is it possible to love someone and keep it quiet? Never to utter those very words knowing he doesn’t feel the same way. I finally fall in love and he only wants to be friends. He is everything I have always wanted and he keeps me at a distance making sure we don’t get too close. How can I ignore my feelings and act like I don’t have them when we are around each other? How do I resist the urge to move my lips towards his when he is talking to me?”
Garrison realizes he has to be honest with Reese and tell her how he really feels before he loses her for good. Just maybe, he will get love in return for the first time in his life. When he finally convinces himself to come forth, a life changing event occurs that could take away the only person in his life that truly loves him.
Is it too late? Does he get the chance to tell her? And when he confesses does it matter?
REVIEW 5 STARS
An Ordinary Me
YA Romance
This is a deeply moving
YA book, about two high school students. One Garrison
Davis
who is a senior and should be having the best year of his life
and Reese
Owens a young girl who is discovering what high school is about,
along the way these two people will meet and it will set them on a
course that changes both of their lives.
Garrison
is an amazing character, you are drawn to him from the very
beginning. His home life has not been easy. Garrison's father is in
prison and his mother is a drug addict. He has so much to deal with
in his daily life. Garrison wants a better life for himself and is
determined to leave his painful past behind.
Reese,
I loved her she is every young girl in high school, always thinking
that she doesn't look good enough or thinking of herself as a just an
ordinary girl. Reese comes from a loving family, very different from
Garrison. She always has her friend Autumn by her side who is
completely opposite of Reese. Over the years Reese has had a crush on
a boy she grew up with, Cannon, I'm not going to tell you about him
you have to read the book...
Something
happens that brings these two together, Garrison really is a knight
in shining armor, but he doesn't think he's good enough for Reese,
she thinks he's perfect, loyal and caring.
“I
will say it one more time and I hope you really hear me. To love
someone, truly love them, inside and out is a once in lifetime
opportunity. If you pass it up you will regret it.” An Ordinary
Me
There
are so many things that I loved about this book it really captures
the feelings of being a young teenager in high school, today. I loved
how the author added in two teachers who were mentors to Garrison.
This book is a heartfelt story with a good message on how you can
over come any obstacle in your life and how two people can grow
together and teach each other what love and family really means. It's
a book that a teenager and adult would love.

Shaken not Stirred by Sawyer Bennette
Welcome to Last Call...a bar where the drinks are cold and the nights are scorching hot
BLURB
Casey Markham is a man-eater in a rut. Swearing off relation- ships may keep her heart safe, but she’s beginning to question
if her casual flings will ever leave her satisfied. She’s wondering
if it’s finally time to let go of the past and stop letting history
control her future.
Bad boy biker, Tenn Jennings can’t get Casey off his mind. A
chance encounter with the beautiful blond has left its mark, and
now he’s determined to prove her wrong about everything she
thought she knew about men.
It’s safe to say… Casey Markham has met her match.
SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED can be read as a stand-alone.
REVIEW 4 STARS
Let me just say, you will fall in love with a man named Tenn and cheer him on to capture the heart of the woman he wants, Casey.
Casey Markham has no desire to fall in love, she was terribly hurt by a wealthy man and it's made her feel that every man in her life she needs to control and the word LOVE is never spoken.
Tenn Jennings is a handsome take no for answer man that comes into Casey's life. From the moment they meet sparks fly, but Casey is not looking for romance just a good time with Tenn.
Tenn can't get Casey out of his mind but he's ready for more than just sex and he has his mind set on Casey. Tenn has a past with an ex wife and a daughter he adores, he wants to figure out how to get his daughter back permanently from his ex who is always holding her over his head. Tenn slowly begins to break down Casey's walls, but he's hiding something from her, that could change everything.
This is a steamy passionate read, all the characters in this book are great and play a huge roll in the story.

Holding You by Kelly Elliott
RELEASE DATE MAY 5
Lauren Reynolds wanted only two things in life—to run her
father’s horse breeding business and Colt Matthews. Fearing Colt would take her
position within the family business, she tried to push him far away from her
heart.
When life could no longer keep Lauren and Colt apart,
their two worlds became one. Every second of every moment, they spent together.
Their love bloomed into something neither of them imagined—a bond so strong
Lauren and Colt believed nothing would ever stand in their way.
However, life threw a cruel twist into Colt and Lauren’s
planned happily ever after. Will fate let them live out the life they dreamed
of, or will one of them be left alone, lost and angry?
“I’ll spend forever holding you … even if it’s only in my
memory.”
EXCERPT
“I’m headed back to A&M tonight, Lauren. Come with
me.”
Pulling back, I looked into his eyes. They were filled
with a passion I’d never seen before. My mouth opened, but words wouldn’t form.
Clearing my throat, I asked, “What are you saying, Colt?”
If there was one thing Colt Mathews could do, and do
well, was swoon the hell out of me with his smile. And boy was he swooning me
right now. My knees felt weak as Colt flashed me that smile that I had fallen
in love with a few years back. That stupid crooked smile that I dreamed about
every single night.
“I’m asking you to let me make you mine, Lauren.”
Holy
mother of God. Play it cool, Lauren. Play. It. Cool. Colt wants to make me his!
Swallowing hard, I asked … again, “What are you saying,
Colt?”
Colt chuckled. Pulling me closer to him, he moved his
lips to my ear. “I’ve been wanting to make to you mine for so long, Lauren. I
can’t bare to wait any longer.”
My lips parted open. “Me … um … I … I’ve never … ahh …
what about …” For the love of all things good. I can’t even form a sentence. My
mind was swirling with images of Colt making love to me. Colt naked. Colt
kissing my body. Colt touching my body. My eyes widened in horror. The one thing
I’ve wanted so badly for the last few years I was about to lose because I can’t
form a damn sentence.
Colt’s lifted his hand and brushed the back of it down my
face gently. “I’m scared too, Lauren. You’re the only woman I’ve ever dreamed
of being with.” Closing his eyes for a brief moment before opening them again,
he whispered. “I’ve never been with anyone, Lauren. My first time I wanted to
be with someone I cared about. Someone I loved.”
Oh. My.
Glitter. Swoon alert! We
have a major swoon alert. My legs gave out and Colt grabbed a hold of me.
“Lauren, are you okay?” Colt asked as concern swept over his face.
“You waited for me? I mean, you’re … a …um? Wait, someone
you love?”
Colt pulled me closer as he nodded. I felt his desire
pushing into my stomach. Something washed over me and I found my senes.
Grabbing onto his arms again, I smiled. “I’ve waited for you too, Colt. Every
time I dreamed of being with someone, I dreamt it was you.”
Taking a few steps back, Colt winked at me as a wicked
grin grew across his face. “Follow my lead.”

Lovely Distraction by Author J.J. Dorn
Lovely Distraction
By: J.J. Dorn
I met him over five years ago, when I was still going to the University of Tennessee. I was on spring break and having drinks at a local bar called Havens at home in Huntsville. That was the exact moment when my path collided with Jamieson Wellington and my life was forever changed. He was unlike anyone I had ever met before. I knew I would never be able to forget him after that night, nor did I want to. But unfortunately for us, fate was not kind.
Now as I sit on this airplane about to leave for my bachelorette party in Las Vegas, I look up to lock eyes with the one person who continuously haunts me day and night. I fight back a sick feeling in my gut, knowing my life has just forced me to a crossroads. I feel the static electricity in the air between us and I know I’m not strong enough to resist him. I never have been, but this time I have so much more to lose. This time Jamieson may just ruin me.
Prologue
“Are you totally excited or what BFF?” Olivia beamed at me from the window seat of our first class seats.
“Yes! I can’t believe we are going to Vegas for my Bachelorette party!” I was very excited for a weekend getaway with my two best friends, Audrey and Olivia. In a few short months I was going to be getting married to my boyfriend of a year, Cain Stratford. We had met in law school during our third year and we had become study partners. It took Cain all of three study sessions before he asked me out with such confidence it stunned me at first. But I knew on that first date that Cain and I were perfectly matched. We had similar passions and goals in life. We made sense.
“I for one can’t wait to get my party on.” Audrey announced from beside me, shifting my attention back to our ensuing trip. I was looking forward to this vacation. I needed it. I was exhausted between planning this wedding and working endlessly as a new associate attorney at large firm. I was hoping a three day vacation would be the perfect thing to reenergize me.
“Oh shit.” I heard Olivia say as I was rummaging through my bag on the floor in front of me.
“What did you forget?” I looked over at her but her eyes were wide and her face was locked on the front of the plane.
I followed the direction in which Livy was looking and I gasped. I couldn’t help it. The mere sight of him sent my body and my mind into overdrive. It took just a half a second before his eyes locked onto mine and a hint of a grin spread wide across his lips. Fuck my life!
“Oh no, here we go.” I heard Audrey mumble from the seat next to mine but I couldn’t respond to her. I felt like I was having an out of body experience. What are the chances that the one that got away, or in my case the one that ran away, ends up crashing my Bachelorette party?

Caden Carlisle is a world-renowned superstar with good looks, million dollar movie deals and women throwing themselves at him wherever he goes. He has it all… but wants nothing more than a normal life without the paparazzi and glitz.
Brooklyn Holloway is an up and coming starlet with a solid head on her shoulders and her eyes wide open. It’s all about art for her and she isn’t looking to star in blockbuster films. She’s perfectly happy keeping a low profile and doing indie projects with a message.
When fate throws the two of them together on set; both are unprepared for their undeniable connection. Cade is drawn to Brook’s down-to-earth wholesomeness and she can’t help the irresistible pull of his good looks, sense of humor and chivalrous ways… So, when he begins to think he’s in love with her, resisting is next to impossible, despite being committed to someone else.
Only when filming ends and the world’s fascination with celebrity invades their bubble, can they decide if the emotions they felt on set were scripted, or forever.
I felt the walls were crashing in around me. I tried to push against his chest, but he only held me tighter, his arms going around my back.
"Go back to your... girlfriend!" I said the words softly, but inside I was screaming. His eyes were wide, and he was breathing fast when he looked at my tear stained face
"Brook, this is so fucked up! Please listen to me. Until twenty seconds ago, I thought you were with David!" His voice was thick with pain, as he tried to stop my struggles.
My useless struggles quieted, and defeat filled my voice. "Cade, I beg you, please let me go. Don't make a scene that neither one of us can afford. We don't need the rags telling the wrong story to the world. Please, I just gotta get out of here." I struggled against him again, and this time his arms dropped to his sides. He stood in front of me, staring in stunned disbelief.
"Please don't follow me." I turned and ran out to the street.
