WELCOME TO THE BLOG TOUR KICK OFF TO Axel!! by HARPER SLOAN!!
We have had to many bloggers sign up that Twinsies decided to do a kick-off interview before we take this to the road!!! Get ready for a CRAZY BUSY WEEK!!! Tons of great reviews and interviews will be posted daily!!
Here's the FIRST INTERVIEW EVER WITH IZZY AND DEE, from Axel!!!
Hi All – This is Brenda, from Twinsie Talk....Today is an
exciting day. I get to interview Izzy
and Dee from the book Axel. We are
having a “Girls’ Day”. I am meeting them
at the beauty shop. Sway is going to do our hair!!! I’m so excited. I cannot wait to meet him. I’m a little nervous, though. I’m hoping Izzy doesn’t get any crazy idea
about us going to get a tattoo or anything pierced!!! I’m an old woman, I don’t need to have
anything tattooed or pierced at my age!!!
Oh well, here it goes.
I pull up to the strip mall where the beauty shop is. I park several stores down. I have to walk by the Corps Security store
front. I try not to gawk as I walk
by. I see several VERY HUNKY men sitting
inside. OH MY LORD!! One of them just looked my way!!! I think I may just melt right into the
sidewalk!!! I sure hope I get to meet
them.
As I walk up to the beauty shop, I see Dee and Izzy getting
out of their cars. Sway opens the door
and almost screams at us!!! I go to
shake his hand and he grabs me and gives me a HUGE hug!!! I knew I’d love him!!! He’s got quite the outfit on today!! I feel very underdressed!! I hug Dee and Izzy and we go inside.
We are all chatting and Sway looks at my hair. He says “OH GIRLFRIEND, we need to fix this
mess!” I tell him that I agree and he
can have at it!! He’s now jumping up and
down in his high heeled thigh-high boots and jeggings. I laugh.
Dee and Izzy are now laughing too.
Izzy says we better start this interview before Sway gets ahold of my
hair and takes over our conversation.
We sit in our chairs and immediately we all have someone
giving us a foot massages. This is
heaven.
So, Izzy, how often do you get to have a special Girls’ Day
now that you have little Nathan? You
will need to show me pics, by the way!!
I know, I know!! And trust me girlfriend, I brought a camera
full! He is so perfect…just like his
daddy! Believe it or not, this is the first
time since he was born I came to see Sway.
He was NOT happy about being left out for so long. If it hadn’t been for your call I would still
be at home.
So you’ve got to tell me about that first night you saw Axel
after all those years? I know it kinda
freaked you out, but wasn’t part of you so excited to see him again?
No, oh God no. I was so out of my mind scared. Not because of him, but because of the
reality of what my life had been without him.
Looking back now I could kick my own butt for acting like that. So much time had been wasted already and my
fit didn’t help matters.
You also mention that Axel was more built and “bigger” that
when he was 18. (giggles) does that mean that he “grew up”
everywhere?!?! (I think I’m blushing)
HAHA!! Oh girl!!
Alright, since I know this is just between us girls…er, and Sway,
YES! My man, oh girlfriend what he can
do with his body. When I say he grew up,
I mean he GREW UP.
This question is for Dee and Izzy – Just how can you get
anything done with all of those gorgeous hunky guys hanging around all the
time? I don’t think I’d be able to stand
up my knees would be soo wobbly!! (I
hear Sway squeal and start jumping up and down again!)
(I know Sway has a comment here)
(Dee opens her mouth
to speak but…enter Sway) Oh honey! Let me tell YOU! Sway spends all his time, yes he does, just
waiting for one of those hunks to walk past my windows. Muscles, tight shirts, MUSCLES, and those
jeans. Oh. My.
Goddess! What I wouldn’t do to
die and come back to life as denim! (Dee
is laughing so hard at this point)
Brenda, I think what
Sway so dramatically means is yes, it is very hard to focus with those 5
around! I have never been more grateful
that my office is on the other side of town!
The do not make insurance agents like those men.
Sway asks me if he can color my hair. I say yes, but it has to stay in the blonde
family! I don’t want any crazy hair
color. I’m a mom and don’t need to look
like a teenager. I see him frown. LOL I
tell him he just needs to make sure all the greys are covered!
I then look over to Izzy.
She’s texting on her phone and has a smile on her face and I do believe
she’s blushing. Hey, Izzy, are you
texting Axel?
Izzy coughs a few
times and quickly shoves her phones away)
HAHA! Izzy just got busted
sexting with her man again!! Brenda, I
promise you those two are like horny teenagers!
Never stop!
Shut up, Dee! Yes…that was Axel and he was, uh…asking about
dinner tonight. **blushing**
Izzyyyyy, please let
Sway see that!! Oh honey, dinner! I bet he was asking about dessert instead!!!
Dee, have you found a new roommate yet, now that Izzy has
moved in with Axel?
No. (She looks over at Izzy with a pained
expression) Just not really ready for
another roommate. Maddox’s apartment
complex had an opening so I just moved in over there. It’s nice and secure.
Izzy, how does it make you feel knowing that there are
thousands of women out there drooling over Axel? I have to admit, I really did have a crush on
him!! By the end of the book, however, I
was totally in love with Maddox!! (shhhhh don’t tell my husband!)
I love it! I honestly don’t blame them…just look at
him. Haha! I would probably enjoy it a little more if
his ego wasn’t about to knock the house down.
I swear that man loves his ‘other women’!
Dee, are you seeing anyone now? I really hope you find a nice hottie to take
care of you! You really deserve it. You are a really good BFF!!
I sure am…well, I
casually date. Not really to settle
down, if you know what I mean.
Don’t let her fool
you, Brenda! She is running like a
scared little chicken!
Speaking of Hotties and BFFs – the door of the shop chimes
and I think I’ve died and gone to heaven...In walks 4 of the hottest men I have
ever seen in my life (sorry honey, you know I still love you). I’m glad I’m sitting down otherwise, I may
have just passed out! I recognize them
right away. Axel (I’d recognize those
green eyes anywhere), Greg (HOLY BLUE EYES), My Maddox (just WOW – I wipe the
drool) and Coop (just heavenly). I know
that Sway is just as affected because he stops doing whatever he was doing to
my hair and I think I hear his heart beating from my chair!!
Oh honey what did I
do to deserve this parade of gorgeousness!
Oh my lawwwd!!
Sway, keeping my girl
happy today?
Axel, you sexy man,
of course I am. Doesn’t see look
happy? Well, it might have been your
fine ass popping up on her screen. How
many times will it take before you remember her hairdresser will see the
message if he is standing behind her.
And, boyfriend…she was not right, grow you did!
OMG, Sway…stop! (Izzy jumps up and gives Axel a big kiss,
interrupting his shocked look of terror)
Izzy introduces me to the “boys”. I don’t even remember if I
said anything. I’m sure they all think
I’m acting like a teenage girl!! I just
sit in amazement until I realize I have foils in my hair and must look a
fright! I laugh and giggle and try to
put together a complete sentence. “Hi
boys, it is soo nice to see.... I mean MEET you!”
(nods and smiles from
all of them and Coop walks over) Hey
there you pretty lady…plans tonight??
COOP! Leave her alone!! (Dee pulls a still smiling Coop away)
Sway finally finishes my hair and swings me around to take a
look. I love it!! It makes me look younger! He’s pleased with my response.
Could Sway ever do
anything other than perfect? No ma’am he
would not! Just wait until your hunky
husband sees you tonight!
After chatting with the boys for a few minutes, Axel says
that he “needs” his princess home. He
said that Nathan is with a sitter for the rest of the day and he doesn’t want
to “waste” a minute of alone time.
Well I can take a hint and I hug everyone ( I may have “accidentally” pinched Maddox in
the bootie – hehehe). I tell everyone Good
Bye and tell Greg that I can’t wait to hear his story next.
I get in my car and pinch myself. I had to be dreaming!! I really just met all the boys from Corps
Security!!!!
Well Twinsie fans, I know that you are all sooo jealous of
me right now!! HELL, I’M JEALOUS OF ME
RIGHT NOW!!! Totally worth it!!
Thank you to Harper Sloan for writing these hotties and
bringing them to life. And to my hubby –
I’m on my way home honey!!! And if I
call you Axel, Maddox, Greg by mistake, just know that I still love you!!
oh, and by the way, my husband did NOT notice I had anything done with my hair..... go figure, huh!!! When I told him about my interview and Sway, he said he'd better stay home, Sway might be into chocolate, and his chocolate self might be too much of a temptation him. OH MEN!!!! ~brenda~ thanks for reading my interview.
Here's my review for the book:
I don’t even know where to begin with this book....even
“book” sounds too insignificant of a word.
This was a STORY not a “book”. I
was asked by a friend and author if I could help out a friend of her’s and edit
a book that she was writing. I said, of
course! I was a little nervous, as I’ve never read anything by her. This was her first book. What if I didn’t like it? Well, a few weeks
later, I received an email with what she had written “so far”. I read it and from the prologue, I was
intrigued. I was crying in the prologue. I was so emotional. I couldn’t wait to read more. And that is how my love of Axel started.
Sigh...
But Izzy is tough and is a survivor! She comes through very strong. Her best friend, Denise, moves away with her
to start her life over. That’s a GREAT
best friend!! Izzy has another best
friend, Greg, who has been through a lot with her and helps her deal with her
emotions from her past. When her
estranged husband contacts her again, Greg contacts his friend to help. He owns his own security company. They were best friends in the Marines. When Izzy meets the man that can help her
deal with her husband, she thinks she’s in a horrible nightmare... it can’t
be...can it be? Why is he here, and on
her birthday? Her birthday is an awful
day for Izzy. She just wants to drink to
forget and wake up the next day and not have to remember what happened on her
birthday.
True love prevails.......sometimes it’s a rough journey, but
true love can survive. I don’t want to
give away too many details. Just trust
me when I say that you MUST read this book.
I cannot tell you how much I loved it!
You may have seen me on facebook pimping the hell out of this book this
week. I’m the type of person that likes
to share greatness when I see it. I am
so excited to hear about Greg Cage in the next book in the series. Believe me, I’m already bugging Harper Sloan
to get to writing faster so we can read that story.
Axel is an ex-Marine...that alone puts him up a few notches
on the hotness meter. Add those green
eyes and the way he talks to his “princess”, and you will be melting. There are several scenes (like chapter 13)
that I really needed a cold shower after reading. I have a few pictures that go along with that
chapter. Soon, you’ll be one-clicking,
and you’ll also be swooning over Axel.
You may not to read that chapter in a public place! YEP, it was that hot!!!
There are other ex-Marines in this story and you will also fall in love with them. I can’t wait for their stories too. I think one of my favorite characters was Sway..... OMG – wait until you meet him. I was laughing out loud every time he spoke! HILARIOUS!!! You will love him!!
Ok, enough of me blabbing about this book. You’re
wasting time....go, one-click!
You can start reading now!! Soon
you’ll be pimping this story too!!
Here are a few of my favorite quotes!
Going
to make you scream princess, and then when you can’t take it anymore,” he
pushes his denim covered hips hard into mine, his thick erection rubbing my
clit in the most delicious way, “then I’m going to lick my way up this sweet
fucking body and finally I’m going make you mine.”
“I love you, Axel Reid.
I have loved you forever and I will never stop.
Made for me, baby. You were made for me. Don’t ever leave me. Never again.
I would rather die than be without you again.”
