Every lie, no matter how small, has some degree of truth. Five months after moving to New York City, Emily is engaged to Blake Carson, future doctor and the man who she believes to be the love of her life. Until she starts to realize that the foundation upon which she’s building her future is based on a series of Blake’s self-serving lies.

  Blake can’t let her go. He can’t continue to deceive Emily, either. But Blake’s biggest problem is that he has to maintain the life he has become accustomed to, at any cost. And that means keeping his overbearing mother happy, and keeping Emily ignorant. Tyler Carson left New York City two years ago, happy to leave behind all of the Carson family drama. Until he comes home and meets Emily.

Falling in love with his brother’s fiancĂ©e was easy. Protecting her from his family was necessary. Leaving her was almost impossible, knowing that he was breaking her heart, and his own. Finding solace in her friendship with Tyler, Emily is forced to face the reality that Blake is not the man she thought he was. But neither is Tyler, the friend who gave her the clarity she needed, and then left her alone to pick up the shattered pieces of her life.

Heartbroken and deserted, Emily has had enough of the Carson brothers. But sometimes, love is not that which sends us soaring, but that which keeps us grounded. Can Emily ever bring herself to love another Carson completely? Secrets, lies and lust-filled nights, all in the name of the screwed-up pursuit of happily ever after, Scared of Forever is the second novel in the Scared Series, which features characters from Scared of Beautiful, but can be read as a standalone.

Guest Post
The Scared Series started out as one book. One little love story, all on it's own. It started out as a first draft in the months after I had just discovered New Adult as genre, and had fallen in love with reading it. Having started a YA paranormal novel, I abandoned that and moved to the manuscript that would become Scared of Beautiful. I started it, got to 16000 words, and there she sat, on my PC for six months. Until a friend volunteered to read it, and like the awesome muse that she was, hounded the crap out of me till it was done! I like to write organically, so I really didn't have an outline. All I knew was that there must be love, there must be pain and there must be happily ever after. There must be a man that I conjured up in my dreams, and a woman who, like me, is a little awkward. And they must fall in love in a way that renders them incapable of breathing without the other. And when I had published Scared of Beautiful, one night while drinking one too many ciders, I thought, 'I could do a series of love stories, all unique, each one examining the life and loves of two different people. I could write happily ever afters forever!' And I was sold. And then I did a happy dance. And honestly, I don't know how I lived before I wrote. It's the most amazing job in the world. And that's the story of the conception of the Scared Series, a series written under duress with the help of one too many ciders ;)

EXCERPT


But when I close my eyes, I can see him—and me. I can see me pressed up against the mirror in the bathroom, my hands making starfish prints as I brace myself against his thrusts. I can hear his harsh breathing, his commands to come, come now, Charlotte. There was that passage of time that felt endless when he was between my legs, licking me softly and leisurely as if there wasn’t anything in this world that gave him more pleasure than helping me find my own. I touch myself, but it’s useless. My body wants one thing: Nathan Jackson.
 
I’m on fire and the ache of want is so acute it’s like a knife in my chest. I’ve had multiple surgeries, chemo treatments, radiation but that’s nothing compared to what I feel now.
 
Time and distance had dulled my pain and that my desire and love for Nathan had actually started to ease only to be stoked into high, hot flames by his reappearance in my life.
 
He is the poison and the antidote.

ICE (Regulators MC Book 1) {Book Review}


Title: ICE {Regulators MC 1}

Authors: Chelsea Camaron & Jessie Lane

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Book Description:

She's an investment banker.

He's an outlaw biker.

A little bit of heaven is about to meet a whole lot of hell.

Morgan Powell was raised to be perfect, to set an example for her sisters to follow. Her life has been dedicated to making something of her career, so she wouldn’t know what to do with a man even if you gave her an instruction manual.

Brett 'Ice' Grady spends his days trying to keep up with his teenage daughter, his nights consumed in Regulators’ MC business. He has no time for anything more than a casual hookup.

Two worlds collide when the dangers of his life crash into the calm of hers.

Can she go beyond her own boundaries and chip her way through to the man known to be as cold as ice?

My Review:

So two authors that I really, really enjoy reading have teamed up together to start a new series. A new motorcycle club series, which I'm really happy about since I have been on a MC kick lately. The first book starts with, obviously as the title states, Brett 'Ice' Grady. If you've read Jessie Lane's Stripping Her Denfenses than you probably know that's where we first meet Brett 'Ice' Grady. If you haven't read Stripping Her Denfenses you can read my full review  HERE.

     I really enjoyed 'Ice' in Stripping Her Denfenses. You could tell that he really liked and cared about Kara. And what he would do for someone he cared about. I'm saying all this because 'Ice' may have seemed like an arsehole to most when you meet him in Stripping Her Defenses. 

     I have to say I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end. You really get to see how Brett 'Ice' Grady is and what makes him tick. You also get to know his back story. Even though he proclaims himself a prick. I don't see him that way at all. I a man who is a business man, a club leader and a father. Also I see someone who lost someone he cared for very deeply. You could even see how much he cares about his daughter. He even had me giggling at times. 

    Morgan is a very likable character. She's independent and strong and has made something of herself. She's also very dependable, which might be a hinderance for her. You can tell she care very deeply for her sisters. Proof of that being she seems to be the only one who cares her sister has gone missing. Well besides Brett's daughter and Brett. 

     I will say that in this book, unlike in other books. Brett and Morgan's relationship is very slow moving, no not moving maybe I should say, slow progressing. It's not bam in your face like a lot of books. It was refreshing to read a slow progressing relationship. The downfall of this book is that most of the book Brett and Morgan don't have a lot of interaction with each other. Especially with the rocky start they get in this book and than with Brett looking for Morgan's sister. 

    But besides that I did really enjoy this book and would give it 4 Out of 5 Stars. And I can't wait to read Hammer's book next.

Carter Reed from New York Times Bestseller Tijan
Emma decided to skip the gym and went home early. It was the last easy decision she made because she found her roommate being raped by the boyfriend. She had two choices.

She killed the bastard first and went to the one person who could protect her. Carter Reed. He’s a weapon for the rivaling mafia family, but he’s also Emma’s secret. Not only was he best friends with her brother, but she’s the reason he became that weapon in the first place.

Worth the Fight from New York Times Bestseller Vi Keeland
It didn’t matter that the ref called it a clean hit. Nico Hunter would never be the same.


Elle has a good life. A job she loves, a great apartment, and the guy she’s been dating for more than two years is a catch and a half. But it’s boring…and she strives to keep it that way. Too many emotions are dangerous. Her own past is living proof of what can happen when you lose control.

Then Nico walks into Elle’s office and everything changes…for both of them. But what can the tattooed, hard-bodied MMA fighter and the beautiful and always steady attorney have in common? A lot more than they bargained for.

This Regret from New York Times Bestseller Victoria Ashley
Phoenix has been stumbling through life since her brother Adric's tragic death but after eight years, she is finally piecing what remains together.

When walking into the tattoo shop one day, the last thing she’s expecting to see is Kellan Haze, Adric’s best friend no one has seen or heard from since the day they found her brother’s body. He’s nothing as she remembers him as a child, with his wild messy hair, tattoos that cover most of his undeniably sexy body and eyes so intense it makes her legs quiver with one look. The one thing even she can’t deny is the instant rush she feels just by being in his presence. But . . .

Kellan is sexy, daring and possibly . . . dangerous.
This Regret is a story of love, lust, betrayal and danger with an ending that no one saw coming.

Nico knows the kind of man he is, and the things he is capable of, and he will do everything in his power to help Sophie fight her demons so they can have their happily ever after. Everything in life worth having is worth fighting for.
