Nicki Sosebee book 5 - One More Time by Jade Jamison


One More Time (Nicki Sosebee, #5)

Blurb:
 Nicki notices there is a big problem with the homeless population in Winchester, and the local shelter doesn’t have any more room for them. Nicki becomes irate when the City Council decides to do everything in its power to drive the homeless out of town, because she has other ideas. Meanwhile, she and Jesse are still going strong, if they can keep everyone else out of their business.

Warning: Not for the faint of heart! This book contains explicit sex and naughty language. Proceed with caution...if you dare



Angie J's Review:

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Ok sooooo here is the low down about this book.  Nicki and Jesse are back together and doing great.  Sean is of course being a brat about what "almost happened" between Nicki and him.  Nicki is like "shut the front door about it already"......Sean does seem to be helpful and a friend to Nicki again.  He is helping her investigate the poverty in the area.  The city council is not a big fan of Nicki because she is stirring the pot about the poor.  When Nicki is threatened, Sean steps up his game and begins to rally support to help Nicki with her piece for the newspaper. Sean isn't about to let anyone tell him (or his girl :)  ) what to do...he really is a BAMF!!!!

Jesse and Nicki are great UNTIL Jesse's nephew asks if that is the girl who Jesse wants to marry....WTH!!!  Nicki FREAKS to say the least.  She is afraid of commitment or so she says.....Lets face it Nicki.....The reason you don't want to get married is................wrong guy..............I love Jesse people.  I really and truly do but he begins to get a bit freaky about Nicki.  He gets her name tattooed on him.  Now marriage freaked her out ya don't think body tattooing wont????  Then Jesse starts acting a bit Douche and i was wanting to kick him in the testicles!!! 

I will say that this news story line didn't seem to be resolved but I am not sure if "Sean's stand" resolves the issues in the story .  I would be interested to see more of the poverty story line in the next novel.

Anyway, people this was another great book in the series and I am a total Team Nicki girl!!!  BUT i would like a side of Jesse and A LARGE helping of Sean as well.

About the author:

Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado and has decided she likes it enough to stay forever. Jade's day job is teaching Creative Writing, but teaching doesn't stop her from doing a little writing herself.

Unfortunately, there's no one genre that quite fits her writing. Her work has been labeled romance, erotica, suspense, and women's fiction, and the latter is probably the safest and closest description. But you'll see that her writing doesn't quite fit any of those genres.

You'll have to discover Jade's writing for yourself to decide if you like it

Fall for Me - Ann Lister





Blurb:
Entertainment journalist, Ryan Pierce, meets the infamous bad-boy rocker, Dagger Drummond, and walks away with a great interview and a scandalous news bit that has the potential to turn the music world on its ear. Exposing the story would boost Ryan's career, but it would also come with the risk of ruining Dagger's privacy – and possibly his Rock God status.

The unlikely friendship that develops between Dagger and Ryan brings Ryan to question more than just his journalistic oath to report the news. It also forces him to take a look at himself and newly discovered feelings – feelings that make Ryan blind to the risk of becoming front page news himself.

Will Ryan find the courage to make a life decision to give himself true happiness with Dagger or take the path that would likely lead to heartbreak and destroy his career forever?

*This novel is intended for Adult 18+ due to explicit language and sex scenes*

Brenda's Review:


Wow....I love a great rocker story.  This was my first M/M rocker story.  It did not disappoint!!  I was hooked right from the COVER!  It grabs you right from the start.  Dagger is so hot in my mind...he’s the typical rocker, hot, has tattoos, can get any girl, and DOES get any girl.  He meets a journalist that’s supposed to be doing an interview with him....sparks fly for Dagger.  But wait, this guy is straight?!?  They why does he feel this way.  He normally has pretty good “gay-dar”. 

Ryan, walks in to do an interview with the rocker, Dagger....OHHH MY...AWKWARD!!  Dagger is someone with him in the shower. oh and that "SOMEONE" happens to be a guy!!  Ryan is somewhat surprised by his reaction!  Why is he feeling these feelings?  He's a straight man...... but WOW!!

Dagger walks out, naked – of course, and is shocked to find a strange man (however handsome) in his tour bus.  He’s not happy about doing another interview BUT he can’t say no to the handsome Ryan!! 

The kicker in this story, is that Ryan is straight.  Well he thinks he’s straight.  He’s gotta be straight, right?  He’s had girlfriends.  He’s never thought of a guy “like that”.  Ryan struggles with his feelings and he doesn’t know what to do.  Thank God he has an ex-girlfriend, who still happens to be his best friend. 

Well as you can guess, they finally get together....it’s hot!  MIGHTY hot!!  If you like a bad boy rocker with tattoos that falls for another HOTTIE (nice guy) – THIS IS YOUR BOOK!!!  Here are MY versions of Dagger and Ryan
Dagger  
  Ryan
 
AND THE GREAT NEWS........ This is going to be a series!!!  I can't wait to read about the next "Rocker" in the Rock God series!!!  It will be just as spicy!!!  I just know it !!  Thank you Ann Lister!!!  GREAT STORY!!!

Excerpt:

            Dagger followed him inside to the bar and watched Ryan pour another two fingers of whiskey into it.  “You're pissed off because you don't want to feel anything for me, but you do.  You can't find any logic behind that, so you'd rather find a way to dismiss it instead.  It's easier that way, isn't it?  It's easier to walk away from something that's uncomfortable for you to face.  From what you've told me, that is how you've lived your entire life, and it's what you want to do now with me.  Isn't it?  You want to run back to Los Angeles because you can hide there and not have to feel things that are new and scary for you.”

            Ryan drained the glass and set it on the bar.  Every word Dagger spoke rang true.  It annoyed the hell out of him that this man had him figured out so clearly and had no problem calling him on it, either.  He wanted to yell; punch something, anything to make what he was feeling go away, because in the end what he feared most was being hurt by Dagger.

            Ryan rubbed at his face.  “You're right,” he said.  “You're absolutely right.  That's exactly what I'm doing, so why waste your time on someone as fucked up as me and afraid to live his life?”

            Dagger ran the back of his fingers across Ryan's face.  His eyes were painfully serious; appearing to glisten with emotion; the second time in one night Ryan had seen this in Dagger's expression.

            “You're pushing me to reveal too much of myself, Ry,” Dagger said, his voice a soft whisper.  “If I admit exactly what I'm feeling for you, it will only hurt more when you leave.”

            Ryan swallowed around the lump forming in his throat.  “What makes you think I'm leaving?”

            “Because nice guys like you never go for someone like me – especially straight guys, and you happen to be both.”

COVER REVEAL - Breaking Through The Wall (Guarded Hearts Book 2) by Ashley Piscitelli

After a traumatic event he gets involved with the one girl who could force him to change his ways. Will he be able to commit to her though? Or will he drive her away before he ever has the chance to have her?

Madison and Carter finally found happiness but their lives have just been turned upside down, by someone who refuses to go away. Can their relationship survive the tragedy and pain that he has caused? What if justice doesn’t always win, and the bad guys get away?

Author Bio and Links


My name is Ashley Piscitelli and I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with my husband, two kids, and two dogs. On top of starting a writing career, I am a full-time student and a full-time mom. I love spending time with my kids, although I have to hide the computer from them when I am writing! I love being active and being outdoors.

I have always been passionate about writing, and wrote this book in about three months. I love reading romance books! I feel like being able to lose yourself in a book is one of the more exciting aspects. The books I love to read and write will be ones that make you feel for the characters. You should have an opinion on every character in a book whether you love them, hate them, or think they are up to something.

I have always thought that the most important critic is your reader, so I would love to hear from you. If you read the book and loved it or hated it, tell me. As long as it is in a constructive way, I will always answer and interact with you. I want fans to feel free to tell me what they want for the characters in the story, and what they want to see happen.

I hope you all enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Let Love In AND Let Love Stay Blog Tour by Melissa Collins

Let Love In (The Love Series #1)

Blurb:

What would happen if you lost everything? If the people who were supposed to love you unconditionally were no longer there for you, how would your world change?

Madeleine Becker lost everything when her parents died when she was ten years old. Ripped from her home and everything that she has ever loved, she is forced to start all over again. The only way for her to move on is to build walls around her heart and keep everyone at a safe distance. Her logic: she can't get hurt if she doesn't fall in love.

That theory is blown to pieces when she meets Reid Connely during her freshman year at college. He is gorgeous and darkly mysterious. He understands Maddy's pain all too well, but sharing his pain would mean breaking down the walls he put up around his own heart. Conflicted between loving Maddy and hiding his dark past, Reid starts to reevaluate his world. Maddy's inner strength, snarky personality and breath taking beauty help Reid to make peace with his past.

Together they find out what happens when they let love in



Angie J's Review:

Ok so I signed up to Read Let Love Stay not realizing it was book 2 in the series.  Well I am an OCD reader and cannot read book 2 without reading book 1.  So i quick downloaded it and poured through the book today.  I was hooked!!

I loved the concept of the idea.  2 people who have lost loved ones who are broken.  Maddy is open to finding love where Reid feels he is a lost cause.  The 2 meet at a party and instant chemistry.  Maddy SEES the pain Reid has and he SEES that she can SEE him. He FREAKS out.  Being the total Douche Bag Player he hooks up with a total hooch and is a jerk to Maddy.  Well she is hurt because she felt the spark but wont be played by a player.  The two have a few more run ins but Maddy is over it.  She is hanging out with Reids roomie and Reid isn't happy but doesn't understand this connection he feels for her.  Well one night he saves Maddy from a bad situation and they confess their feelings of attraction.  Both admit to having walls but seem willing to try a relationship.

The books is really good at keeping you in the characters heads but also letting you see how they feel about the other.  You can see each character self doubting why the other wants to be with them because they are soo messed up.  The big plot lines are when Reid starts getting phone calls and he wont answer...is he cheating????  Then Maddy and him have an argument about his mother and LOTS of hurtful things are said which causes more drama for Maddy.  The BIG CLimax of the book is the last chapter.  Maddy is given some pretty life altering news and her relationship with Reid is rocked to the core.  When the books ended I was immediately opening the next book because I need to know what happens.  

I enjoyed this couple.  I enjoyed them opening up and growing.  I enjoyed them both risking their hearts on another when they haven't relied on others in a very long time.





Blurb:


If you’re lucky, you’ll fall in love – truly, madly and deeply in love.  But what happens when that honest and pure love isn’t enough to erase your fears?  What happens when your past rears its ugly head and threatens your future? 



Maddy and Reid had that kind of love – the all-encompassing, Earth shattering, once in a lifetime kind of love.  Then life happened.  Old wounds that were thought to be long healed and scabbed over are ripped opened and they are forced to face the possibility that, maybe, they are not strong enough to fight their demons and embrace the light. 



Together, they found out what love is, but now they will each need to heal on their own before they can ever be together again.  They must face their fears and beat down their pasts in order to find their way through this crazy uphill battle called love. 



They’ve let love in, but now, they need to find out how to Let Love Stay. 



Bonus Scene #2 – Let Love Stay Blog Tour – Melissa Collins
“What about this one?”  I hold a random carton of ice cream in front of me.  Picking out an ice cream flavor should not be this difficult. 
Leave it to Maddy, though.
Holding the pint of Ben and Jerry’s, she’s actually reading the label.  “Maddy!  Does it really matter?  It’s ice chocolate.  It’s peanut butter.  What else could you want?  Let’s just get this one.” I wrap my arms around her waist and nuzzle into her neck.  I know what’ll get her ass in gear.  “The sooner we get home,” I lick her neck to emphasize my point, “the sooner we can start the movie.  And the sooner we start the movie, well, then,” one more lick just to bring the point home, “the sooner we can get distracted by other things.”  I shove certain “other things” into her fine, tight ass just to continue emphasizing my point. 
Damn!  Now I want to get out of here for entirely different reasons. 
I feel her melt against me and I know I’ve won. 
“Hmmm,” is the only response of which she’s capable.
The superhero fanatic in me fist pumps in the air.  I have been dying to see the new Batman movie since it came out on DVD, but well, even when you put Batman up against hot sex with your girl, well, sex always wins. 
Walking hand in hand to the cashier, Maddy stares up at me dreamily.  “I know what we could do instead of watching one of your silly ‘boy movies’.”  She arches an eyebrow at me and I know exactly what she means.  She’s not getting off that easily.  Well, I mean she will, eventually.  But, dammit I’m watching my movie first. 
I pull her to my side as we walk away from the cashier.  “Oh no you don’t!  The last time we rented this DVD, you won.”
She huffs a sigh at me.  “What the heck is that supposed to mean, ‘I won?’” Her words are shocked, but playfully so.  She knows exactly what I mean.
As we walk up to the car, I open the door for her and lean into her neck once again.  “You know exactly what I mean.  Now, if you let me watch my movie first”, I lick a seductive path from her neck up to her jawline and hover above her lips. 
When I’ve rendered her speechless, I move my lips to speak at they flutter on top of her.  “Well, if you let me watch this first, then you’ll win over and over and over again.”
Her responding groan is all I need to hear to know that I’ve won.  Boy movie night it is.  Not to be overshadowed by “the hottest sex of your life” sex night either.
*****
In true Maddy fashion, she passed out on my lap less than thirty minutes into the movie. That works out perfectly for me actually.  I got to watch the movie and now I get to carry a drowsy Maddy up to her room and, well, you know.
She barely stirs as I move to pick her up, but by the time I’m halfway up the stairs she finally wakes up. 
“Did I miss the movie?”  She asks sleepily while pressing her lips against my neck. 
“You sure did, sweetheart.  But don’t worry, we can watch it again tomorrow night.”  My response is met with a playful swat to the ass. 
I didn’t even realize her hand was back there!
As I drop her onto the bed, she looks up at me lustfully.  Oh, hell!  Two can play at that game.  I feign a yawn and plop down next to her.  “I’m beat, Maddy.  Let’s go to sleep.”  Trying my best to hide my smile, I turn on my side and curl away from her.
I can hear her harrumph and fidget on the bed.  Before I can say or do anything, she’s pinching me on the side, tickling the shit out of me.  Oh it’s on now!
With lightning quick reflexes, I turn over to her and wrap my legs around hers, essentially pinning her into place.  “So that’s how you want to play it, huh?”  I pull her arms above her head and encircle both of her tiny wrists in one of my hands. 
Her eyes dilate and I can see how hard she has to work to swallow past her desire.  Just when I have her where I want her, I reach for her breast with my other hand. 
Hovering above her supple flesh, I wink at her and then change tactics quickly.  Pinching and tickling at her sides and underarms has her squirming beneath me in seconds. 
“Reid…stop…please… that tickles…”  Her words trail off into a fit of hysterical laughter. 
When she’s out of breath, I press my lips softly to hers and stare into her deep green eyes.  “Love you, babe.”
“I love you, too, Reid.  Now can we finally go to sleep?”  She arches her hips up into mine on the word “sleep” and I know “sleep” is the last thing either one of us have planned. 


 

Angie J's Review:

I received this book for an honest review.

So I fell in love with the characters of this series....Reid the bad boy player turned whipped boyfriend and Maddy the girl who has had nothing but heartache who transforms said bad boy.

The end of the first book was not a HEA because both Reid and Maddy have serious issues to over come.  Throughout this novel, the two of them are trying to fix their past demons to make it right for two of them to have a future.

Reid has shown sooo much growth from the first novel.  He is doing everything to get his girl back.  I loved when he shows up at Maddy's work and sees her with another guy.  WELL, Reid isnt a very big sharer soooo he knopcked the guy out.  I had to giggle a bit because WE, the reader, know there is nothing going on BUT Reid is Mr. Possessive Alpha Male.  I did like Reid and his mother making a connection and finding out her side of what happened when Shane dies (Reid's brother).  it was also very eye opening to find out a little bit more about Shane and his love life.

Maddy matures but because she is expecting she has to make grown up decisions.  She is always hoping Reid will be there but she has to worry about her baby more then him.  She definitely helps him make better choices WHEN they stop yelling and talk to figure things out.

The tone of this book is very different from the first.  This book they are struggling to be together and make their situation work where the last book was "college fun times".  I did enjoy the book and can't wait for Melanie and Dylan's books.  I really want to know if Melanie and Bryan can make things work.
