Author: Kemmie Michaels
Genre: Contemporary
Hosted by: Francessca’s Romance Reviews

Synopsis:



Erin never would have expected to fall in love. Never. Not with her past, and not with her fear. She never dated; she didn't even allow herself friendships. She didn't trust her judge-of-character skills enough to allow anyone close...until Marcus.

With him, a deep connection happened in spite of the walls she'd so carefully constructed around herself. His self-confessed rage fueled much of his life, with the exception of her. For Erin, Marcus dares to make the step toward love…one with the potential to heal them both.

What others had to say about the book:

What an amazing, beautiful story of two people falling in love before they even meet.~ Goodreads

I found this book so charming. I loved watching Erin evolve from victim to victor. I loved watching Marcus learn to trust himself as Erin opened up to him. I loved everything from their playful banter to the scenes where Marcus was fiercely protective of her. ~ Goodreads Review

Such a wonderful book, that I will continue to remember because it has such strong meaning and is so much more than a book about love and sex but it’s about growing and becoming who you want to be In Erin's case “adorable badass butterfly”. ~ Goodreads Review

About The Author



Mother of Two Boys...
My husband and I have been married for 17 years and are blessed with two amazing young men. They are 10 and 12 right now, and both are on very different parts of the autism spectrum. I’ve learned so much being their mom and I feel pretty lucky to have become part of a community of loving, understanding people.

If you’d like to meet my oldest son, watch Big Bang Theory and shake hands with Sheldon. Those two are so similar, straight down to the fake laugh when they recognize something is funny.

My youngest cannot be explained. He’s more of an experience, and a joyful one at that.

Romance Novelist...
I’ve always loved to write. I’ve written for newspapers and magazines, also a host of personal projects. Then in December of 2012 I was reading on my first Kindle, gobbling up romances left and right. That’s when I fell in love with Ethan Blackstone, by the way.

I was inspired to sit down and write. Less than one year later I’ve published three books, written another and its sequel novella, and started on two more. Another series popped into my head, as well. Now as of August of 2014, I’m on the verge of publishing book six, with at least five started or specifically planned. Since I’m sure I won’t update this bio for a long time, you’ll have to rely on my Facebook updates to know what’s going on with Kemmie Michaels romances. You can also subscribe to my newsletterfor releases, covers, sales, and other news.

...and I LOVE coffee.

Happy Release Day ~ Girl Crush (Redwoods Book 1) by Kaydee Mavericks and Riley Rhea

Girl Crush (Redwoods Book 1) IS LIVE

Kerrigan Marks has been in love with her boss from the first day of her job, she just hasn't known it. Only problem is, he's taken and he doesn't even notice her.

His model like girlfriend, with her blond hair, crystal blue eyes and legs that go on for days, is the only person that catches his attention.

So why would he notice me?

I'm the plain Jane, the girl everyone passes by without a second glance. I'm the girl who wants to be the model girlfriend, the one who gets a second and third glance.

I WANT IT ALL.

But what happens when I get what I want?

No matter how much I thought I knew. I WAS WRONG.

NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS. NOTHING AT ALL.

What can I say about Girl Crush by Kaydee Mavericks and Riley Rhea.  These two collaborated and came up with a book, a series

really that is right up any paranormal lovers aisle.  I will warn you know that there is a cliffhanger, but that is only because there is going

be more to come.

Kerrigan Marks knew from the minute that she saw the picture of her mother standing in the Northern California Redwoods, that is where she is meant to be.  When she receives a job offer from Vaughn Enterprises in Redding, California she jumps at the chance and never looks back. Working as the Assistant to Damon Vaughn could prove to be a bit much for young Kerrigan.   From the moment she lays eyes on him she wants him, but the problem is that his beautiful, blond model of a girlfriend might not like that idea.   Now all Kerrigan can think about is how much she wishes that she were Lucia, how she wishes that she had Damon, and how she wishes that her hot, handsome boss would look at her in the same way.

But the longer that Kerrigan is in Redding, the longer that she works for Damon at Vaughn Enterprises, the more she starts having strange dreams.  There is something going on in the Redwoods that she can't quite understand, but as things start to come to light, Kerrigan might get everything she ever wanted......but at what cost?

I loved everything about Kerrigan.  She is young, sheltered, but in Redding she feels free to be herself, free to make a new start, and safer than any place that she has ever been before.  I love the dynamic between Damon and Kerrigan.  The way that he seems to know that she is present even when he is busy with something, or someone else just adds to the story.  Nope, no spoilers from me.  There is a reason and you will find out why, but again, mind you, there is a cliffhanger and more will be revealed hopefully in the next book.  Bryce, Kerrigan's upstairs neighbor and part of the Redding secret is laugh out loud funny.  The way that he looks out for Kerrigan, the way that he protects her and encourages her made me want him for a BFF.  Bryce is the kind of guy that will have Kerrigans back.  I truly enjoyed this wonderful story and I look forward to the release of the next book in the series.  I give this wonderful new series 5 super stars.

Excerpt...

“Take off your clothes,” he says in a deep gravelly voice.

Yes Sir. She doesn’t hesitate to lift her sweater, but clings to the ball of warmth when the cold air scrapes her soft skin.

“All of them,” he adds.

She drops it to the floor and unbuttons her jeans, tugging hard on their elastic grip to her legs. Her socks get sucked off with them in the final pull. Her fingers are icy as she slides her panties to the floor. He stands perfectly still with his hands to his sides, giving away nothing as she unhooks the clasps on her bra. She holds the cups as cover a moment longer, searching his stoic face before dropping it to the side. His eyes study the way the light accents the right side of her body. She feels his gaze glide across her flesh, leaving a burning trail behind.

“On your knees, close your eyes and don’t move.”

She does as told, deaf to anything above the sound of her own pounding heart until the crack of his knuckle. It was the sign of his tension building, which was the most exciting part of these games. She knows she has just as much control over him. He steps towards her and each vibration through the floor shoots chills up her exposed thighs.

When he doesn’t stop she turns her head slightly to follow his spicy scent, but soon he’s ascending the stairs and gone. She hears him continue towards their room, so she waits, eyes closed, branding every sound to memory. An electric city bus passes, and then then a distant foghorn blows before a Moped buzzes down the quieting street. Things stand still and she no longer hears anything in the house.

Minutes seem like hours when you’re naked and alone in a cold room. Still no sounds other than the occasional creak of the old Victorian house. Monica opens her eyes and scans the darkness to orient her focus. She looks down admiring the way the blue light highlights her nipples.

How long is he going to be? Do I really just stay here like this? Shivering? It’s freezing in here. She looks out as the Christmas lights still on the house across the street go dark. Did he leave me here? Is this his punishment? Or is he testing me? She sits back on her heels and exhales with frustration.

It’s gotta be nearly twenty minutes already. This is crazy. Just as she starts to get to her feet, she hears a squeak a few feet behind her. Judging by his sharp look she drops back down and faces the empty fireplace.

“I didn’t tell you to get up.”

 

About the Author:

Bio:

I'm a designer, author, wife and dog-lover living in the South Pasadena area of California. I got my BFA in Film Production from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, but my love of a good story came way before college. I remember writing my first full story in fifth grade on a typewriter. I cut and pasted it into a book, complete with cardboard cover and taped binding. Things have changed a lot since then. With the magnificent digital age I can produce books and give them to the world without a sticky mess. In college numerous instructors and peers praised my dialogue pushed me to hone my storytelling skills. Of course the need to cut and paste was still there, so I went into the world of Production Design and Art Direction for films and television. It gave me the ability to connect design to storytelling in a way that no other career can. The past 18 years have spun a unique perspective on visually emotional tales of relationships and the thread that ties all things together. Now I'm shifting focus on the driving force that brought me here... stories. I hope that I can share a unique perspective on life, love and the pursuit in all of the above.

♦10 fun facts about A.L.♦

1. I not only like to design things like homes, gardens, and interiors, I like to build them too. I built the redwood decks in our backyard when our carpenter backed out at the last minute. Since I was off work for a few weeks, I went for it. The best part was the neighbor's reaction to me out there every day with power tools and very long planks of wood. I think working with your hands gives you an immediate sense of accomplishment. 2. I'm a reluctant morning lover, which means I love getting things get done early while it's quiet and calm, but my attitude when I first roll out of bed is sour. 3. I've practiced bonsai for many years and have a garden with 10 trees on display. 4. I love board games and try to organize game nights with friends as often as possible. My family was always very competitive and had a regular Sunday night usually filled with Yahtzee or UNO battles. 5. My favorite book as a kid was Pride and Prejudice, but I was very Dyslexic so I hated reading. Eventually I got into an assistance program that worked me through the difficulties and turned me into a bookworm. 6. I'm a hardcore Oakland A's fan. Baseball is the only sport I follow. 7. We moved from Oklahoma when I was twelve to Las Vegas. It was so completely twisted and unique to living anywhere else in the world, especially in the early 90s when things were booming. I got a well-rounded education on what I didn't want out of life by living there. I don't visit unless I'm dragged there. 8. I have an English Setter and German Shorthair Pointer that keep me on my toes. 9. I love road trips, but have to be the driver. I'm a terrible passenger. 10. My husband and I are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in 2015, but we've known each other since the summer of 1993 in high school.

Synopsis

People looking at my life would think ‘wow she’s so lucky’ but I’m far from it. Five years ago my entire world changed. The older I get the more I start to think that maybe what I know about my family is all an illusion. Maybe the family business isn’t just what it looks like on the outside, but the cause for my devastation when I was sixteen.
I never thought five years later my world would start to unravel around me. Some parts amazing, other parts a nightmare.
The amazing part was hard to let in. He was everything I wasn’t looking for but turned out to be everything I needed and more.
The nightmare was… well let’s just say a nightmare. Something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I knew I would need to fight with everything that I had to make the nightmare go away.
My name is Gabriella Ashford and this is my story.

Synopsis:

Saving myself for marriage, not hardly.

Saving myself for someone who will make my heart race, most definitely.

In theory it's a good plan, however even the best-laid plans fall through. Seeing him, being around him, alerts all my senses and I dream about being his, wrapping myself in his arms and never letting go. The only problem – he sees me as his sister.

My name's Ava Evans and I'm in love with my older brother's best friend, Nate Garrison. 



Burying myself in work for the past two years, avoiding any thought of her, has worked, until now. She's everywhere, in my dreams, in my gym, and in my heart. I'm not sure when I fell in love with Ava Evans, but I am completely in love with my best friends baby sister.

At first she was too young for me and that made it easy to stay away. Now, it's a struggle to keep my distance.

How am I supposed to resist her when I can’t escape her? If he ever found out, it would ruin our friendship. Even with that knowledge all she would have to do is...

Just Say When.
