Love Notes

How do you cope when the people you care for hurt you the most? When the way you feel on the outside, smothers you on the inside. And when you are left to face your demons alone, will you learn that only you have the power to overcome them?

Charlie has never had it easy. Between the constant moving and the incessant fat comments and jokes from her father, her self-worth is nonexistent. Her reflection in the mirror shows her nothing but a plain Jane. Music is the only thing that keeps her sanity in check.

Charlie catches the eye of the town star quarterback, Maverick. With her curves, her brunette hair, and the voice of an angel, Maverick has never met anyone like her. Everything that is different about Charlie just makes Maverick like her more. Unfortunately, Charlie doesn’t see it herself.

Proving it to her may deem harder than he thinks, especially when tragedy strikes and tears them apart.

Now standing on her own two feet she may finally learn exactly who she is, what’s she’s capable of and how very un plain Jane she really is.

Claire Nichols endured the CONSEQUENCES of Anthony Rawlings’ vendetta.
When she first arrived to his home, her goal was survival. Through strength and compartmentalization Claire captivated her captor. Her resilience in the face of his rule threatened Anthony’s well developed plan. Domination became desire and power turned to love.
Their passion and adoration in a world of opulence appeared perfect. Yet, reality was a roller coaster of emotion. Claire’s world teetered on the edge of sanity as Antony monitored her every move. When given the opportunity to flee, Claire drove away. A fateful decision which set a well laid plan into motion.
However, unbeknownst to either of them, there were others who saw past the perfect facade of Anthony Rawlings. There were others who saw the TRUTH. Conspiracy and unfulfilled promises result in an early prison release for Claire. Not just a release – a pardon. According to the law, her crime never happened!
Will it be that easy? Faced with freedom from her past... can Claire seize it? Can she build a new life, mend her broken spirit, become the woman she once was, and seek her own revenge? Or is it all a game? And does the game master have different plans?
How does Sophia Burke fit into the puzzle that is Tony and Claire? Will her presence affect the future of this well esteemed man? Can he dominate twice? Is that his goal?
TRUTH continues the tumultuous saga of CONSEQUENCES, introduces new players, and uncovers more intrigue. Aleatha Romig skillfully weaves past transgressions through current deception to create a fervent world of obsessed desire. In this reality can an all-consuming relationship survive?
When buried sins are discovered they threaten not only Tony and Claire’s future -- but their very lives! Will the TRUTH be revealed in time?

FATALISM - blog tour

 

Blurb:

Alexa Schaefer has been through more pain and 
hurt in her life than your average twenty-eight year old.
She protects her heart by controlling everything around her
 and living her life according to a strict set of rules.
For years, she has lived behind a wall, not allowing 
anyone into her heart. That is, until she meets Vincent, a man 
she can't get out of her head no matter what she tells herself.


On the outside, Vincent Mileski appears to be a 
confident, no nonsense attorney. A prodigy in the field of law, 
he has just won the biggest case of his career. Needing out of
 the spotlight, Vincent moves back to his home state of Colorado 
to get some time alone to heal from a previous betrayal.
He hasn’t had a woman turn his head in years, that is,
until he meets Alexa. After only knowing her name and the
 sweet taste of her kiss, she is torn from his arms.


Will fate bring these two back together,
or will they spend an eternity searching?

Sanctuary of Mine - blog tour

 

 

Blurb

 

From the bestselling author of RUINED comes SANCTUARY OF MINE:

When you see someone who looks like they need saving, you save them right?

Mackenzie Deeks is struggling. Outwardly she plays the tough guy and acts like being a young adult with an eating disorder is no big deal. Inside, she's crumbling.

Ever since her parents’ divorce, the only way she has been able to feel in control of her life is by purging the despair that has its grips on her and won't let go.

Tyler Redding knows when someone needs help - he's seen it before. This time, though, he's not going to take no for an answer. From the moment he first sets his sights on Mackenzie, he's unable to think of anyone else. But how can he focus on a football career when all he wants to do is date the most unassuming person he's ever met?

As their lives become intricately entwined, it becomes more than wishful thinking when Mackenzie and Tyler find each other again as adults. With successful careers, a beachside lifestyle and each other’s love to contend with, life should be pretty damn good. But just when they think they’ve found their wonderful kind of normal, their perfect world comes crashing down.

It’s going to take a lot to keep Mackenzie from succumbing to old habits, but Tyler thinks he might just be the one to save her for good.

Save Me from Me ~ Erika Ashby ~ Cover Reveal

Title: Save Me From Me

Author: Erika Ashby

Release Date: October 2013

Goodreads Link:  http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17281558-save-me-from-me

Synopsis:

Dani refuses to lose another parent due to her absence from their life. After pulling herself back together following the death of her father, she moves back to her childhood town to live with her mom. She’s instantly pulled back into the lifestyle she worked so hard to get away from ten years ago. She accepts that this is the life she has always been destined to live. Getting a job at the store down the road and hooking up with an ex fling seem to be the logical way to go…that is until Holden Reynolds shows up in town.

Now that Holden is finally back home from the Navy he plans on following in his father’s footsteps. Still trying to move on from the one woman who had his heart, he busies himself in work and returning to the country boy lifestyle he’s always loved. The best way to get over someone is to be under someone, right? That’s his mindset as he travels town to town with his job perfectly content with being a rambling man…that is until he meets Danielle Brooks.

Excerpt:

*Dani*

     If first impressions are really everything, then my first encounter with Holden will forever be engrained into my mind. Like seriously. I will never be able to get the look of his face as that slut bag was going down on him out of my mind. The way his head dropped back against the outside wall of the bar and the moan that slowly eased its way out of his throat was the hottest damn thing ever. The thought of wishing I was the one causing it quickly passed my mind. It would have stayed a bit longer if he would have never lifted his head making eye contact with me. He wasn’t fazed at all by me checking out the show. No, instead he just griped the chicks head harder pushing her faster and deeper onto what I’m sure is a very nice cock. It’s sad and maybe a little sick that this is making me horny. Maybe it’s the fact that I’m in a desperate need to get laid. It’s been forever. So long that I can’t even remember. 

*Holden*

      I push back the head of the girl whose name apparently is Loralee. It’s not like I would have given two-shits and even asked. I could care less to be honest. I just got into town today and was just looking for a release and she was more than willing to comply. But now, ever since that hot little thing openly watched me getting my dick sucked and enjoyed the show, this chick is just feeling like a dog licking up slop.

     “Enough.” I say trying to adjust my now deflating dick back into my boxers.

     She huffs, “Wait, why? Is it because of what Dani said?” Dani, I let the sound of her name play in my mind. “Because what she said isn’t true. I’m gonna beat her fuckin’ ass.”

     I lift my hand to shut her up, “Listen here sweetheart. This has nothing to do with her. It has to do with me not getting anything out of your mouth. I lost interest…my dick lost interest. I could lie and say that I have a case of whiskey dick, but we both know that isn’t true. Maybe you just suck at sucking tonight. It’s okay.” I pat her shoulder, “We all have our off nights.”

Sarah Elizabeth Author Interview

Hi Sarah Elizabeth First Congratulations On your Book Misjudged loved every minute of it.........

Fictional- Tell us a little about yourself and your book?

 

Sarah- Thank you! I'm a mum to 3 young sons and began writing in March 2013 when a guy called Brandon entered into my mind and wouldn't leave me alone until I got his story told :) I'd read so many books in the past year that I thought I might have a try at it myself :)

 

Fictional- Who is your Favourite author?

 

Sarah- Can I only name one?

 

Fictional-I’ll be nice Top 3 Go?

 

Sarah -Rachael Wade, Jodi Ellen Malpas and Tina Reber.

 

Fictional-What Book are you reading at the moment?

 

Sarah-Love & Relativity by Rachael Wade. (For the third time)

 

Fictional-Outside of writing what do you do to relax?

 

Sarah -Write some more!

 

Fictional- I love that answer. Describe your book in three words?

 


Sarah-Emotional, sexy, and tense.

 

Fictional-This question comes from a member of my group called Claire Lamb....When can we expect snippets on the 2nd book?

 

Sarah- From the end of August onwards although I will probably drop hints within my pages status updates like I did for Misjudged

 

Fictional- In your book can you relate to any of the circumstances the characters go through i.e. Are there any of your own experiences or total fiction?

 

Sarah-Total fiction. I don't even know how some of the things that happened in the book came into my head. Misjudged started as a completely different story and just kept evolving until the final result.

 

Fictional- Does your family support you with your writing?

 

Sarah-Yes very much :) I don’t know how they put up with my screaming at the laptop screen sometimes but they've been very supportive.

 

Fictional-Are the names of characters in your novel important to you?

 

Sarah- Ha-ha! Hmm... Brandon and Alexis just wrote themselves when I sat at my laptop for the first time. I hadn't planned on them, or Alyssa and Ryan's come to think of it. Matt and Neil... Matt Boomer = Neil Caffrey. James 'Caffrey' - so I think it's safe to say I have an extremely unhealthy addiction to Matt Bomer!

 

Fictional-Oh I realised that as soon as I read it just wanted you to confirm it. What is your least favourite part in the writing progress?

 

Sarah- The editing, no actually it was when Brandon decided to change EVERYTHING from Chapter 4 onwards, and I had a week before Misjudged was planned to got edit to get it done. Writing almost 70'000 words without anything planned was quite stressful although I enjoyed every minute of it!

 

Fictional -This question makes me laugh... Are you a person who makes their bed in the morning, or do you not see the point?

 

Sarah- I don't see the point! : P Who asked this?! Lol. Although then it gets to around 6pm and I think 'hmm, I’d better make it.'

 

Fictional – EBook or paperback

 

Sarah - Tough one!!! Both? I buy eBooks mainly and if I really love the book, I'll get it in paperback too.

 

Fictional-I’m the same although I have to sneak books into my house.

 

Sarah-Do you have to hide them under your bed?

 

Fictional-You would be surprised the places I hide them all over my house. The rule is one comes in one goes out, if you had to pick another author to co-write with who would it be and why?

 

Sarah -SC Stephens because I really want to be involved with Kellan Kyle! : P I <3 that guy!

 

 

Fictional- ok this comes from me seeing as I run a Fifty shades group on Facebook.....Vanilla or kinkery F*ckery?

 

Sarah - It depends who it's with!

 

Fictional-Favourite Take-out food?

 

Sarah -Chinese food without a doubt.

 

 

Fictional-So the very beginning of your book is extremely HOT will we be seeing more of this in your writing?

 

Sarah - Yes and no.

 

Fictional- Do you listen to music when you write?

 

Sarah - I did for a while but stopped when I began writing the lyrics to the songs rather than the words I should have been writing.

 

 

Fictional - If you wrote a book about your life....what name would you call yourself and what 3 words would you use to describe your personality?

 

Sarah - I wouldn't even know how to answer the first part to this question because I could never write about my life. It's not very exciting! :) Three words... Hyperactive, witty and shy. (It depends who I'm around so they may contradict themselves slightly!

 

Fictional - Ok easy one top five book boyfriends?

 

 

Sarah - You call this easy?! Five? ONLY FIVE??!! Okay think... Brandon Taylor, from Misjudged, obviously! : P Kellan Kyle from the Thoughtless Series. Christian Grey, we all know where he is from! Ryan from Preservation and Ryan Christenson from Love Unscripted.

 

 

Fictional- Next question comes from the lovely Sandee Love....How did you come up with the characters?

 

 

Sarah - I didn't. They came to me, seriously! Wow, I sound like some crazy lady don't I?!

 

Fictional- No you don't I understand.

 

Sarah- Phew!

 

 

Fictional- Apart from Brandon Freaking Taylor who is your favourite man that's in your life?

 

Sarah - I choose my three sons :)

 

Fictional - Lovely answer. Next question is from Tracy Mckay.....Why are you so mean? Leaving us like that ugh Lol.... Also where did you get the inspiration for the story song, dream, and experience?

 

 

Sarah - To answer the first one, it's because, and I quote Brandon's exact words, 'I'm a b*tch author!’ Inspiration for the story... I really have no idea... It started off so different to what was published and I kept having what I call 'BOOM' moments, where something else pops in and then eventually it all pieced together. Yes, I have imaginary people talking to me in my head!

 

 

Fictional-Has there been a review that has stood out the most for you?

 

 

Sarah - No. Each and every single review I've received have been amazing and I'm really overwhelmed as to how people have connected with the story. It doesn't seem real at all. I'm still trying to get over the fact that I pressed the publish button!

 

 

Fictional -How would you describe Brandon troubled, Broken?

 

 

Sarah - Misjudged.

 

Fictional- Are there any other projects in progress at the moment?

 

Sarah- I'm working on Misplaced Trust right now, which is the second and final book from Alexis' POV. Then 1.5 and 2.5 (which are up on Goodreads as Untitled) are Misjudged and Misplaced Trust from Brandon's POV and although his will almost be along the same timeline as Alexis', there will be a lot more of what you don't see from Alexis' POV. I can't wait to get started on Brandon's ones because they're going to be quite different to books 1 and 2. THEN I do have another book which isn’t connected to this series in my mind but I won't be working on it until all the ones above are out.

 

Fictional - you just answered my next question Brandon’s POV happy dance...

 

Sarah -Ha-ha!

 

Fictional - This question is from Katie Moron Benson....Will you be revealing who the flowers were from? And also we know that your obvious muse for Brandon was Matt Bomer but did you have anyone in mind for other characters?

 

Sarah - Yes! The flowers sender will be revealed. I would like to know who everyone thinks they were from Lol :) Matt Bomer *sighs. Ahem, okay... I didn't. They really did write themselves. I feel quite used actually. Like I’m just their typist or something!

 

Fictional - Sarah Fictional men’s page for book ho's love you and I do too......Tell me something no one knows about the next book?

 

Sarah - Awh I love you too! : D <3 It'll be more emotional than the first. (Sorry!)

 

Fictional -Arghhh I forgive you. Last question finally what would you like to say to your fans?

 

Sarah - I would like to say a HUGE thank you to each and every one of them for all their support, for buying Misjudged and for their incredible feedback. I'm completely and utterly overwhelmed at the response my first novel has received and didn't expect to even sell five copies. I love those lots and lots!

 

Fictional-Thanks Sarah it’s been a pleasure. I can’t wait to follow and help promote your work your forever Facebook friend...

 

 

Sarah - Thank you! This was fun!

 

 

 

Fictional-And also I would like to thank you on behalf of all fans for bringing Brandon Freaking Taylor to life :)
