<br />
Today is cover reveal day for M. Leighton's upcoming release entitled <i>The Empty Jar.</i> She wanted to say a little something about the cover before we reveal it and the description, so here she is.<br />
<br />
First of all, a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to all of you amazing women who are helping me reveal this cover today. I appreciate everything you do for me, for authors in general and for this community. As a reader, I love you, too:)<br />
<br />
Secondly...<br />
<br />
OMG OMG OMG! IT'S FINALLY TIME TO REVEAL!<br />
<br />
I feel like I've been waiting AGES to share this with you!<br />
<br />
This cover... GAH! Y'all, it took me forEVER to get it just right. There was a certain "feel" that I wanted to achieve with it and I wasn't happy until I felt that "feel" jumped right out when I looked at it. I wanted the cover to speak of the book. I wanted it to show the highs and lows, the sweet and the poignant, the <i>depth </i>of it, if you will. And finally...finally, I feel like it does:) You might not realize just how much NOW, but once you read this story, you'll be like, "Yeah. That cover is perfect for this book!"<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7717207666491428194" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>When I got the paperback proof in the other day, I held it in my hands and I just stared at it. Not only is this story extremely special to me, but this is probably my favorite cover of all my books. Ever. When I look at it, I see so much more than just a picture. I see all the things that I find in life, as well as what I put into the story that is <i>The Empty Jar. </i>It's a blend of happy pinks and brooding blues. It's light and it's dark. There are highs and there are lows. There is morning and there is night. But if you notice the sky on this cover, there are little flickers of brightness in the bodies of the lightning bugs. Life is that way, too. Even in the darkest part of the night, there is a spark of hope. There is beauty. There is the romantic glow of a full moon, the silvery face of your mate, the delicate twinkle of fireflies. It's all there if we look closely enough—that balance of beauty and tragedy.<br />
<br />
And love.<br />
<br />
Always love.<br />
<br />
Below is a little more about the book. It's hard to tell you much without spoiling anything, but I think you can get a feel for it. It's such a special story. So raw, so real. I honestly can't wait for y'all to read it! I hope you love IT and the cover as much as I do:)<br />
<br />
If you want to know more about how it came about, you can read my blog post about it <a href="http://www.mleightonbooks.com/the-empty-jar-what-it-is/">here.</a><br />
<br />
But before I get to that...THE COVER!<br />

I went to lower my lashes so I didn’t have to see how he really felt about me shining out of that reflective gaze.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“But as much as it pains me to say it, we can help each other out. In fact I think the only way to do this with minimal casualties is to work together. I want Roark and you want to keep your ass covered, and to do that, we need to be attached at the hip.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
I frowned at him as he continued to loom over me. “What are you suggesting, Detective?”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I’m not suggesting it. I’m telling you that you are suddenly and irrevocably in love with me. You are obsessed with me and we are about to embark on a passionate, out-of-control, unexplainable, and very, very obvious romance. We are going to shove our new relationship so far down everyone’s throat that they are going to choke on it.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
I gulped and opened my mouth to tell him how crazy he sounded, but he reached out a hand and placed his palm lightly over my mouth. I scowled at him and contemplated sinking my teeth into the meaty part of his hand.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Seriously, Reeve, it’s the only way. Bax will rein it in if he thinks I’ve got a thing for you. Nassir won’t back all the way off, but he’ll be less dangerous if he thinks he has to go through me to get to you. Plus, from what you’ve told me, and what I understand about whack jobs like Roark, if he thinks you replaced him with me, it’ll force him to move more quickly. He’ll come out of hiding faster if he thinks you moved on without a second thought. If you understand the risk involved, I’m willing to take them with you.”</div>

I lifted both my eyebrows up and tapped my fingers on my knee until he took a step back as he gauged my reaction. I don’t know what he was expecting but he actually looked nervous as I climbed to my feet.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“What do you think?” His voice was low and he didn’t look away as I walked up so that I was standing directly in front of him.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
What did I think? I thought there was no “suddenly” about being irrevocably in something that looked a lot like love with him. I thought passionate, out of control, and obsessive about summed up the way I already felt about him and that it would require zero acting on my part. I reached out and put a hand on the center of his chest. He was warm and hard. He felt like security and strength.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I think you are going to have a much harder time pretending you like me than I will pretending I like you, Detective. Have you considered that?”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
He balked a little and lifted a hand to circle his fingers around my wrist. I wondered if he felt my pulse kick at the touch.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“I do whatever it takes to get the job done.”</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Oh, I bet he did. I smirked up at him and lifted up on tippy toes so that our lips were almost touching. I expected him to recoil, to back away in haste, but he didn’t. Instead his tongue darted out to lick across the curve of his bottom lip, and I almost groaned out loud.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
“Prove it.” I whispered the challenge and then held my breath to see what this scary, sexy man would do once the gauntlet was thrown down.</div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: wf_segoe-ui_normal, 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe WP', Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
He didn’t disappoint. He never did.</div>

<strong>BETTER WHEN HE’S BRAVE
Synopsis:</strong><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In <em>New York
Times</em> and <em>USA Today</em> bestselling
author Jay Crownover’s third novel in her sexy, thrilling Welcome to the Point
series, a woman’s search for repentance leads her to the one man from her past
she can’t forget as they join forces to save their city—and the explosive love
neither can live without.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Titus King sees the world in black and white. Right and
wrong. Which is why as a teenager he left behind the only family he’d ever known
to make a better life for himself. Now a police detective in one of the worst
cities in the country, he can’t deny his life has turned into a million
different shades of gray.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The new criminal element in The Point has brought vengeance
and destruction right to Titus’s front door, and the difference between right
and wrong is nothing compared to keeping those he loves alive. To add to his
already strained moral compass, the beautiful and mysterious Reeve Black has
made her way back to town, and she might be as dangerous to Titus as the guy
trying to destroy the Point because he needs her—in more ways than one.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reeve knows all about how ruthless this new threat to
destroy The Point can be… and instead of running away, she wants to help. She
has a lot to repent for and saving the city, plus the hot cop that she hasn’t
been able to forget might just be the only way she can finally find some inner
peace.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With an entire city poised on the brink of war, Titus and
Reeve stand in the crossfire—and it will take two brave souls to fight for the
ultimate love.<o:p></o:p></div>

relationships. I have two best friends that I have known for most of my life.
We have continued to stick together over the years and we are always there for
one another. I couldn’t imagine my life without them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

some really great people convinced me otherwise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eventually I decided to give it a try and
what do you know? I just finished writing my fourth book and I couldn’t be

full time career at some point in my life. And I look forward to many more
years of bring you the best books that I can. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">How would I
describe myself? Well, I’m Muse Harper. I’m a twenty-something painter who
loves red wine, quirky movies, and men with a fatal flaw. But that was before I
met Jasper King. He became my fatal flaw. Eight months ago, I had a choice to
make—abandon everything I’ve ever known to protect my family, or stay and risk
someone getting hurt. I chose the former. My plan was working just fine until I
found out my father had gone missing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">That’s when I met
Jasper. A bounty hunter with the eyes of a tiger and the nose of a bloodhound,
he was supposed to help me find my father. What I didn’t know was that meeting
him was no accident. Hunting people isn’t all that Jasper does. And helping me
was only part of his plan. I just wish I’d found out sooner, before my heart
got involved. But even then, I don’t know if I’d have done things differently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Now, I have
another choice to make—trust the man that I’m falling in love with and hope
that he’ll do the right thing, or run as far away from him as I can get.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I had the honor
of reading another book from M. Leighton. I am pleased to say that I thoroughly
enjoyed it. I honestly don’t think there are any books that I don’t enjoy from
her. M. Leighton knows how to draw you
in right from the start and I love that about her books. I’m always quickly
thrown into a world of awesomeness as soon as I open the book.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Muse Harper is
our female lead and she is naïve which did grate on my teeth alittle bit, but I
still enjoyed her. She has made so many sacrifices for someone whom she
cherishes so much that when he goes missing, all bets are off. She goes above
and beyond to hire a bounty hunter to help her find the answers to problems. That’s
where Jasper King comes in.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Jasper is dark
and secluded. He very rarely answered questions that Muse asked. I thoroughly
enjoyed that. I liked that everything from his past wasn’t thrown out there in
the matter of three chapters. It allowed us to see the growth that Jasper
makes. You can tell from when you first meet him that he has a secret; that
there is something that he is hiding.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">As the story
progressed, the chemistry between Muse and Jasper grew and grew. Jasper was
absolutely dirty… is a very VERY good way! He had the whole package, muscles,
tattoos, and a dirty mouth (hehe). Each scene was an amazing build up to the
next mind-blowing scene. Jasper starts to feel guilty for double crossing Muse,
but he knows he has to in order to achieve the outcome he is looking for. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Today</i> bestselling author M. Leighton is a native of Ohio. She relocated to
the warmer climates of the South, where she can be near the water all summer
and miss the snow all winter. Possessed of an overactive imagination from early
in her childhood, Michelle finally found an acceptable outlet for her
fantastical visions: literary fiction. Having written over a dozen novels,
these days Michelle enjoys letting her mind wander to more romantic settings
with sexy Southern guys, much like the one she married and the ones you'll find
in her latest books. When her thoughts aren't roaming in that direction, she'll
be riding horses, swimming in ponds and experiencing life on a ranch, all
without leaving the cozy comfort of her office.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Review:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I have read every
book in the Eagle Elite series by Rachel Van Dyken, and none of them have affected
me the way that Sergio’s book, Elude, has affected me. This whole series has
brought so much to the table. It has mixed romance and heartbreak, romance and
hate, suspense and revelations, friendships. I have seen such growth from
Rachel in this book. She used her words to break down all the walls that were
built up. Her words broke me down and twisted me in more ways than I can count.
Sergio slowly made his way into my heart with this book and I didn’t want it to
end. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Elude is all
about sacrifice in my opinion. Two individuals are thrown together in hopes
that 1: one will protect the other, and 2: they learn from each other. This
story brings Andi and Sergio together in less than desirable circumstances. Andi is dying. She was such an amazing
character. She’s a spitfire. She doesn’t care how she goes about things,
including using pots and bats in a completely hysterical way. She’s not afraid
to stand up to any of the guys even though they could end her with a pull of their
finger. She puts them in their place and brings them all closer together in the
long run. She proved more than once that she could handle her own, including handing
them their own asses. She showed Sergio that even though she was dying; and
knew it quite clearly, she wasn’t going to let her control her. Andi brought
the good out of Sergio. She pulled the emotions from him even though it may
have been unwillingly for a little bit but slowly Sergio began to fall deeper
and deeper for her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Sergio was so
against marrying Andi. Why marry someone that is going to die and leave him
broken-hearted. Sergio was used to being by himself. Things were always changing
and being who he was, made it difficult to have a life. Sergio’s heart was full
of malice and contempt. When forced to marry a special little Russian, the
walls surrounding his heart start to fall. Before he even marries Andi, he’s
cold, mean, and downright nasty to her. Andi doesn’t let it faze her though.
She continues to stay perky and upbeat. As she slowly breaks away the cold,
hard ice, from Sergio’s heart, the two of them begin to embark on their own
future, no matter how short or long it may be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">This book also
showed the crazy connection between all of the guys. They proved that they were
together through it all. They continued to make me laugh every though I was
balling my eyes out. Their friendship knows no bounds. Each of them holds a
special place in my heart and with this book they have embed themselves even
further in. Their sarcasm, they humor, their love shows how they truly care for
one another. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">There isn’t much
more I can say about this book without giving everything single thing away. I cried….
Hard. Big. Ugly. Crocodile Tears. Every emotion I felt in this book, hit me
bad. This book is beautiful. Its beautifully heartbreaking. Its beautifully romantic.
My heart was twisted in a million different ways. One scene specially completely
broke me, shattered me. I laughed, I cried, and I drank lots and lots of wine.
This book was absolutely fabulous. Read it… seriously read it. you will not be
disappointed at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">After losing his
best friend to another guy, the notoriously too-confident Max Emory suddenly
feels lost. He may have devastatingly good looks, an abundance of charm, and a
claim to one of the biggest hotel empires around, but he has no ambition
anymore. So when his fed-up friends decide they’ve had enough of his moping,
they sign him up to be the next bachelor on the reality series Love Island. And
between his pride and his forged signature on an ironclad contract, Max just can’t
say no.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Now he’s stranded
in paradise with twenty-four women, one terrifying goat, and Becca, the
breathtaking barista who already turned him down back home. The closer Max gets
to Becca, the more determined he becomes to win her over. As she gets to know
him better, things start heating up. But is Becca really after Max’s heart—or
is she after the cash prize she could claim once the cameras stop rolling?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Hello beloved readers!
The first person who read one of my Rusk University books was my older sister. I gave her All Lined Up when I finished, and her first question was "Are Ryan and Stella going to be together?"
At the time, I told her no. I had plans for both of them that included their own storylines. I thought they were too much alike. They'd make great friends. They might even hook-up, but in the end... I couldn't envision anything serious for them. So I actually rewrote some of their scenes trying to make that aspect of their connection more obvious. And still, when All Lined Up released, amidst the chatter about sweet Carson and sassy Dallas, I had people asking if Stella and Ryan were next. I denied it again (and again and again).
But sometimes in writing, the stars align and a character will become bigger and more real than you could have possibly imagined. It's a wonderful experience, but in Stella's case it was also incredibly heartbreaking. While I was writing All Broke Down, the news was inundated with information about the Steubenville rape trial and other tragedies and injustices like it. Tragedies where women have been violated first by an attacker, then by judgmental and hateful people, and finally by a justice system that repeatedly fails survivors of sexual assault. Having grown up in Texas, where too often football stars are treated like gods and can get away with just about anything, it hit particularly close to home. And since All Broke Down featured a passionate activist heroine, I felt compelled to reference this chronic dark underbelly of elite sports.
I can remember vividly sitting on my couch, brainstorming how I would incorporate such an event into the book. I had thought the assault would happen to an unknown character, and maybe I would focus on the way it divided the team and the school and the town. But like I said... Sometimes a character will become bigger and more human than I anticipated. And it sounds crazy, but in my mind, I felt Stella push her way forward and say, "Mine. This is my story." I immediately began to cry. Sob, really. Because I loved her as a character. She was hilarious and strong and didn't take crap from anyone. She was everything I always hope to be. And I didn't want her to go through that. Even as I cried, my brain began to tell me that it made sense. Stella was vibrant and enjoyed a wild party. She was not afraid of her sexuality, and she had no problem with casual sex. She was the kind of girl that probably had a reputation. The kind of girl who could be heinously and violently taken advantage of, and people would STILL blame her. Because she was in the wrong place, wearing the wrong clothes, behaving in the wrong way. But just because it COULD happen to her, didn't mean I wanted it to. But once again, Stella was there in my head saying, "Someone needs to tell this story. And I'm strong enough to do it. Let me." And when Stella chose her story, she also chose the man I'd been adamant wasn't right for her. Because as it turns out... Those two characters who I thought were too alike aren't so alike anymore. And Stella needs Ryan to help her hold on to that vibrant and strong girl she was before.
So I let go of all the plans I had for her, and allowed her to tell me her story, which is about more than just sexual assault. It's about the aftermath. Depression. Shame. Guilt. Anger. Injustice. Victim-blaming. Slut-shaming. It's about the way that kind of event can change everything-- how you relate to people, how you think, how you dream, how you love. It's about the way the rest of the world moves on to the next big tragedy, and you're still left holding the broken pieces of who you used to be, with no idea how to put them together again or even if you want to. It will be the most difficult story I ever tell. And the most important. Because it’s a story that belongs not just to Stella, but to millions of people around the world. It’s a story that belongs to a new person every 107 seconds*. And that’s just in the United States. Think about that for a moment. 107 seconds. Stella’s story won’t be any easier to read than it will be to write. But I hope you’ll help me drag this story into the light.
So now I’ll step off my soapbox and just tell you about the book…
<strong>
</strong>
<strong>ALL CLOSED OFF:</strong>
Stella Santos is fine.
Maybe something terrible happened to her that she can’t even remember. And maybe it drives her crazy when her friends treat her like she’s on the verge of breaking because of it. Maybe it feels even worse when they do what she asks and pretend that it never happened at all. And maybe she’s been getting harassing emails and messages for months from people who don’t even know her, but hate her all the same.
But none of that matters because she’s just <em>fine</em>.
For Ryan Blake, Stella was always that girl. Vibrant and hilarious and beautiful. He wanted her as his best friend. His more than friends. His everything and anything that she would give him. Which these days is a whole lot of nothing. She gets angry when he’s there. Angry when he’s not there. Angry when he tries to talk and when he doesn’t.
When Stella devises an unconventional art project for one of her classes all about exploring intimacy—between both friends and strangers—Ryan finds himself stepping in as guinea pig after one of her subjects bails. What was supposed to be an objective and artistic look at emotion and secrets and sex suddenly becomes much more personal. When he hits it off with another girl from the project, Stella will have to decide if she’s willing to do more than make art about intimacy. To keep him, she’ll have to open up and let herself be the one thing she swore she’d never be again.
Vulnerable.
*****
ALL CLOSED OFF will be releasing sometime in early 2016. I don't have a date yet for several reasons. The first and most important, is that I want to do this story justice. And as such, I have no intentions of rushing the process. Secondly, I'll be returning to indie publishing for the remainder of the Rusk series. As you can probably tell, this story means a great deal to me. And by having the ultimate control over everything from timing to editing to price, I'll be able to ensure that I'm able to create exactly the story I envision. Unfortunately, that means you won't be seeing the paperback of ALL CLOSED OFF on the shelves in most stores. Nor is it currently available for pre-order. But I hope you'll <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23865291-untitled">add the book on goodreads</a>, follow me on social media, and/or <a href="http://eepurl.com/XeqJz">join my newsletter</a>. I promise to shout it all over the place when I have a set release date or pre-order links.
Thank you for listening as I told you the evolution of Stella's story. When it's finished, I hope you will feel as passionately about it as I do.
All my best,
Cora Carmack

And an opportunity to add your voice to Stella’s…</h1>
Stella’s experience is only one story of many. She was with someone she trusted when it happened, and the only memories she has are pieced together from her own blurred recollections and the things people have told her. Not everyone’s experience with sexual assault is the same. Each person reacts, copes, and overcomes differently. And while this book is about one specific character’s journey, I would like to tell as many sides of this story as possible. As Stella grapples with her thoughts and emotions she’ll be searching for advice, for comfort, for a place where people understand her and can identify with what she’s experiencing. <strong>There will be room for truth within the fiction, and if you’d like that truth to be yours, this is your chance.</strong>
If you have a story like Stella’s, and you want your voice to be heard….
If there’s something you wish more people understood about what you’ve gone through….
If there’s something you’d like to tell people struggling with a story like yours…
I’d like to give you the opportunity to add your voice to Stella’s. Use the hashtag <strong><em>#WhenItHappened</em></strong> and let your voice be heard on your own by posting on your own social media, or if you’d rather I share your words <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bKZD3JRn-NxqUmA5ngcGYJtw3j4ItRpEzGMNP99l0Ac/viewform?usp=send_form">fill out this google document</a> and tell me your story. <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bKZD3JRn-NxqUmA5ngcGYJtw3j4ItRpEzGMNP99l0Ac/viewform?usp=send_form">You can fill out this form anonymously or not.</a> I’d like to begin this discussion now because April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. But my hope is to include as many stories as possible within the book itself.
So many have stories of <strong><em>#WhenItHappened</em></strong>. Your voice and your story deserve to be heard. I’m listening.

closed the door. Words and sounds were coming out of his mouth but I couldn’t
make anything out. Max pushed me against the door and pointed his finger in my
face. “I’m going to kiss you, damn it, and you’re going to like it. And I’m
going to take off my shirt and you’re going to manhandle me, and you’re going
to stop being so damn nervous or so help me God I’m going to bend you over that

feel really good against my skin. So I’m going to kiss you, and you’re going to

every ridge of his abs; the length of his body was beyond devastating.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>About ASA:</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em>Jay Crownover’s New York Times</em></strong><em>and</em><strong><em>USA Today</em></strong><em>bestselling</em><strong><em>Marked Men</em></strong><em>series continues with the much anticipated story of southern charmer and certified criminal Asa Cross.</em>
Starting over in Denver with a whole new circle of friends and family, Asa Cross struggles with being the man he knows everyone wants him to be and the man he knows he really is. A leopard doesn’t it change its spots and Asa has always been a predator. He doesn’t want to hurt those who love and rely on him, especially one luscious arresting cop who suddenly seems to be interested in him for far more than his penchant for breaking the law. But letting go of old habits is hard, and it’s easy to hit bottom when it’s the place you know best.
Royal Hastings is quickly learning what the bottom looks like after a tragic situation at work threatens not only her career but her partner’s life. As a woman who has only ever had a few real friends she’s trying to muddle through her confusion and devastation all alone. Except she can’t stop thinking about the sexy southern bartender she locked up. Crushing on Asa is the last thing she needs but his allure is too strong to resist. His long criminal record can only hurt her already shaky career and chasing after a guy who has no respect for the law or himself can only end in heartbreak.
A longtime criminal and a cop together just seems so wrong . . . but for Asa and Royal, being wrong together is the only right choice to make.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #464760; font-family: 'Kristen ITC';">Excerpt:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #464760; font-family: 'Kristen ITC';"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #464760; font-family: 'Kristen ITC';">I pulled the Nova to a stop in front of a duplex that had clearly seen better days. It wasn't a rusted-out trailer in Kentucky, but it might as well have bee. I turned off the ignition and sat back in the seat so I could turn to look at Ayden. She was watching me carefully and I could see how frustrated she was with the entire conversation in the way her shoulders were tensed up and the way her hands had curled into tight balls on her lap. It was the way she used to look whenever I got into trouble and she had to do something desperate and drastic to get me out of it. I reached out a hand and put it on top of her fists.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #464760; font-family: 'Kristen ITC';"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;">"I died in that hospital, Ayd. There were no angels playing harps. There was no redemption and repentance. I died and it was very clear that I was going to get exactly the kind of fate I had been courting with all the messed-up shit I had been doing to out people. All I could see was every wrong I had ever committed and ever bad decision I had ever made exploding all around me. For once I could see how all of that affected you. I was dying, and I knew what was waiting for me on the other side, yet I couldn't go knowing that was all you were going to have to remember me by. I had to come back and give you something else to hold on to, some kind of good memory to with the endless miles of bad I laid at your feet. I wanted to have the chance to show you I could be the kind of brother you deserved all along, so no, I didn't save myself -- you saved me. Just like you've always done for my entire life."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;">I saw her bottom lip tremble until she snapped her teeth around it to keep it still. Her fists unclenched below my palm and she curled her shaking fingers around my hand and her already husky voice rasped with even more emotion when she told me what I think I had needed to hear from her all along.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;">"I have always been proud that you're my brother, Asa. Yes, there have been times in the past I would have gladly fed you to the wolves, and it's no secret that I had to leave home because I didn't know what to help you anymore, but we both made it out alive and are better people for it. I know you're sorry for the way things went down when we were younger, but I need you to open your eyes and take some credit for the way you turned it around to make things the way they are now. I've long since come to terms with the Asa from my childhood. What I want to do is love the Asa that's here with me now. You need to let go of those boulders weighted with all the bad things from the past that are dragging you down before you get crushed under them."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;">It was eerily similar to what Royal had been telling me the deeper and deeper I sank in with her. I don't think I was ready to let any part of those stones go just yet, but a sexy redhead was slowly and surely eroding bits and pieces of the rock the more and more time I spent with her. By the time she was done, maybe she would be able to carve out something that was worthwhile, something that didn't eviscerate me to look at.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i> </i>I leaned over enough that I could kiss Ayden right on the center of her forehead between her midnight eyebrows and I felt her let out a shuddering sigh.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;">"I'm never going to let you down again, Ayd. That is the one and only thing in the entire world that I can promise and know it's a promise I will keep."</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #464760; font-family: Kristen ITC;"><span style="background-color: white;">We stared at each other for a long and silent moment. The seriousness of the words I had sad to her and the fact that I could see that she understood that I really, truly meant them finally worked to absolve me of some of the guilt that seemed to suffocate me whenever i thought about the things she had done to keep me safe.</span></span><br />

<br />
Every choice has consequences—but seventeen-year-old Layla faces tougher
choices than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or
Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden she never thought could be hers. Hardest
of all, Layla has to decide which side of herself to trust.<br />
<br />
Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin—the deadliest of demons—has been
unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her…including her best friend. To
keep Sam from a fate much, much worse than death, Layla must strike a deal with
the enemy while saving her city—and her race—from destruction.<br />
<br />
Torn between two worlds and two different boys, Layla has no certainties, least
of all survival, especially when an old bargain comes back to haunt them all.
But sometimes, when secrets are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you
have to listen to your heart, pick a side—and then fight like hell…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly
gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious
powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her

news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always
wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up,
the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">FALL WITH ME
Synopsis:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Eleven months
ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece
Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of. She’s been in love with him since
she was fifteen, and he wishes that night they shared never happened. She’s
sworn him off forever, but the past and future collide, forcing her to rely on
the one man who broke her heart not once, but twice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Her best friend
since birth has been in a long-term care facility since he became a victim of a
hate crime years ago, and the person who put him in there is out of prison and
wanting to make amends with him and Roxy. She’s not sure she has room for
forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is
on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to
blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">But Reece isn’t
convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him,
he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed
up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history
repeat itself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Review:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I’ve read all the
books in this series and I have never been let down. Each of these books has
their own bit of flare and draws you in. Each of these books are connected in
some way and you can see the other characters from the prior books. Jennifer
switched it up with this book and it was a nice little changed. Reece and Roxy’s
story was steamy, romantic, suspenseful, and was an emotional journey. I loved
Reece in Stay with Me. He was a curious character. Roxy was fun and enjoyable
in Stay with me, and she was even more enjoyable in Fall with Me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Roxy is snarky,
quick witted, fun and has an attitude to boot. I loved it. We find out that
Roxy has loved Reece since she was a teenager. Reece is quiet and protective.
He protects the ones he loves and will do everything he can to make sure they
are safe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">When they have a
one night stand a year ago, things get shady between the two of them. Reece
tries to ignore it, Roxy is hurt by his blatant disregard for the night, but
also feels relief. She tries distancing herself from her, but then strange
things start to happen. She tries to handle it on her own, but with Reece being
a cop, he learns about it without her telling him. She slowly involves him and
he is determined to keep her safe. Truths unfold and its hard to tell whether
or not they should have been in a left alone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Before we learn about
the creepy things happening to Roxy, we see the guilty and sadness she is
filled with for best friend whose life was more or less stolen from him. One
mistake led to hardship and heartache and Roxy feels nothing but blame for what
happened. She proves what a loyal friend she is making sure to visit Charlie
every week no matter what. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I loved
everything about this story. It continued moving at a fast pass and left you
wanting more as it continued moving. Roxy and Reece had such good chemistry
between the two of them. You got to feel the romance and loving nature between
the two and the steaminess between them was on point. Jennifer Armentrout knows
how to write a book and no matter what, if I’m in a slump or for just whatever,
I know I can pick up one of her books and I’ll be good to go! You’ll love this
book from beginning to end! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">FALL WITH ME
Excerpt:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">There was a county cruiser parked next to my
car and there was a really freaking hot cop propped against the passenger side,
long legs crossed at the ankles and arms folded across a yummy chest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Reece
was waiting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I
wasn’t really thinking about my list of priorities as I stared at him in the
dimly lit parking lot. The muggy night air settled over me as he unfolded his
legs and pushed off the cruiser. My gaze roamed over him. I was really just
thinking about how the polyester material of his work pants moved along his
thighs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">God,
he walked with the kind of lethal grace that should be illegal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Nick
leaned in and whispered in my ear, “And right there is the main reason why I
wouldn’t get with you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I
tripped over my feet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">“Hey
man.” Nick clapped Reece on the shoulder as he strolled past him. “Have a good
night. See you Wednesday, Roxy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">“Bye-bye.”
I didn’t take my eyes off Reece. What was he doing here, at two thirty in the
morning? It wasn’t the first time I’d stepped out of the bar late at night and
found Reece waiting. Back before “the night thou shalt not repeat,” he used to
do it every once in a while, when he was working the night shift and was taking
lunch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">But
it was something I hadn’t expected him to do again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">The
sound of Nick’s motorcycle rumbling to life echoed throughout the otherwise
silent parking lot. I needed to say something, because we were standing there,
a few feet between us, staring at one another. “Hi.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Well,
that was spectacular.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">One side of his lips
kicked up as his gaze dipped. “What . . . ?” He laughed, and there was a
flutter deep in my belly, like a nest of butterflies had suddenly taken flight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">“What
does your shirt say?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I
glanced down, trying to stop the smile tugging at my lips. “It says ‘Ladies’
Man.’ What’s wrong with that?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Long,
thick lashes lifted and then he laughed again, that nice and light laugh that
wrapped around me. “You are . . . you’re something else, Roxy.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Shifting
my weight from one foot to the next, I bit down on my lip. “I’m not sure if
that’s a good thing or a run-in-the-other-direction kind of thing.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">He
took one step closer, his arms loose at his sides—his right arm brushing
against the handle of his duty gun. The star on his chest seemed shinier than
possible, and was eye level with me. “It’s . . . yeah, it’s a good thing.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ARC to provide an Honest review. Thank you!!**<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Pocketful of San
is a Contemporary Romance. I’ve read books by M. Leighton and I have never been
disappointed. After reading Pocketful of Sand, this is no exception. I couldn’t
put the book down. I was so intrigued by the character that she has created.
The whole story was beautifully written. I was instantly drawn in feeling a
part of these characters seep into my bones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">You could
instantly tell that there was going to be something bone shattering deep about
her female lead, Eden. Eden is a strong, independent woman. She has a daughter,
Emmy and se is fiercely protective of her. You can tell that her story was
going to be sad. She has enough baggage to carry anyone into a new life and I’m
not going to lie, I felt so sad for her. Her back story is one of sadness and
heartache and you honestly cannot NOT feel bad for her. She is constantly
running from her past. She does everything she can, not to be found. Her
daughter Emmy is a sweetheart. The love she feels for her mother is so evident
that it makes you smile. Emmy has her own little bag of troubles too and it
breaks your heart when you find out what she has been through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Cole’s past is
just as devastating as Eden’s. He is completely broken and he carries the
weight of his decision on his shoulders. His guilt eats him from the inside
out. He has his own past that he is trying to hide from and because of it,
everyone thinks he is crazy. Besides him being seemingly quiet, he is a strong
passionate man. When Eden and Emmy make their way into his small town in Maine,
his world is taken out from beneath his feet. They make their way into his
heart and mind, breaking down the walls that he had so powerfully built it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">When the two
meet, they are drawn to each other instantly. There is a pull between them that
neither want to fight. The intimacy between the two? Yah… ridiculously HOT!!! I
definitely went red in the face a few times! Their chemistry was so powerful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">The writing in
this story seemed effortless. I enjoyed it so much. It was different from prior
stories that I have read. The feel of it was so different and I thought for M.
Leighton is showed how well of a writer she is. If you have any doubts about
reading this book, I’m squashing them for you. This book was amazing. I’m not
telling you if they achieved their happily ever after. The ending of this book
leaves you reeling and you won’t know what hit you!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">The Fates are
cackling their bony asses off...<br />
<br />
It's been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life
to them. And so far, the jobs they've given him have been violent and
bloody--which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else
in mind for Seth. He's got to play protector while keeping his hands and
fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new
assignment might be the most challenging yet.<br />
<br />
Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy's deal might be, but it's a good bet
that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to
be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is
going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for
her.<br />
<br />
But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the
golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing
of all.<br />
<br />
Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I
couldn't have asked for a better start to this new series. I absolutely loved
the 'new' Seth. Even though he did things I hated and he was an arrogant,
egotistical jerk (lol) in the Covenant series, we see a whole new side to him.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "Kristen ITC"; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">You still have his
snarky, sarcastic, sexual self in this book and I think without it, it wouldn't
have been as good. He brings so much to the table and he owns it too. There was
always a little part of Seth that you had to feel bad for and when you see the
vulnerability that he has, he grows on you more and more.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-size: 10.5pt;"> </span>He’s now used by the Gods and
there is nothing he can do about it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";"><span class="apple-converted-space">Throughout this book, Seth looks back on all the terrible things that he has done. He thinks about what his actions led too and how he is now paying for all of that. He continually feels guilty for all of it and you kind of wish that you could help him realize that sometimes things are out of our hands and power goes to our heads. When Seth first meets Josie, he's so bewildered at her appearance and it draws up feelings that he was trying to push away and to the side.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";"><span class="apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";"><span class="apple-converted-space">Josie is awesome. She's not timid but there is that part of her that you can just tell she wants someone to take care of her. She's definitely stubborn and a smartass like Alex and I think that is why I like her so much. She's also been given a shit hand and she carries so much burden on her shoulders that meeting Seth is just the icing on the cake. She's been thrust into a would that she knows nothing about she takes it all like a champ. She owns it. She's got her own bit of sarcasm. She also knows how to hold her own. I love it. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";"><span class="apple-converted-space">Seeing a lot of the secondary characters from the covenant series was great. I loved being about to see them again. They bring a lot to the book. I love that we still get to see Apollo, Deacon, Luke, and Marcus. Deacon was one of my favorite secondary characters from the Covenant Series and I'm so happy that he was in the start of this one.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Review:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I was given the
opportunity to read this book early. Thank you! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I have to say The
Collector’s Society was such an original book that I was really happy that it
was getting a sequel. With that being said; I absolutely loved this book. It
continued with its original feel and I was so happy with that. With this book,
unlike the first one, it’s told from Alice and Finn’s point of view. I thought
this was great because we were able to really get a feel of his emotions this
way. The two of them seem to fit together so well. They have such a crazy connection
and this allows them to work and trust each other immensely. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">As with the first
one, they are still put their lives on the line to save different stories and
realms. This brings so much action into the storyline. You can never tell what
is going to happen next. They are put into danger on multiple accounts and the
always have the others back. When Finn’s past starts to come into his present,
things starts to get crazy and before we know it, Alice is in big danger and no
one knows what to do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Characters from
the first book make their way into this story and new ones emerge too. The
steamy scenes between our favorite two got much better than the first one and I
was very grateful for that. Their relationship grows so much. They tell each
other things that others might now know. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">We see Jace again
which I loved because he was such an awesome character from the first book and
we also meet tons of new ones. My favorite fairy tale, Peter Pan, begins to
play a major part in the story, whether it’s good or bad, you’ll have to read
to find out! There were many different twists and turns and made the
anticipation of what or where the characters were going to end up next even
more gratifying. The ending was such a whirlwind of emotions, suspense, and
action that I couldn’t read it fast enough. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Overall, I thought that for a sequel this was done very well. I was so happy with the turn around and how everything played out. The way that Lyons' continues to weave these stories together is amazing. This isn't a new genre for me, but I haven't read anything like this is a while and it's such a breath of fresh air. You have to pay close attention the detail because something you may have disregarded could actually mean more than you think. I'm looking forward to the next book. I can't wait to see how Lyon's spins the rest of the story. I will be eagerly waiting for the next addition to this wonderful tale. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">One word…. Phenomenal.
In Elite, we met the 4 members of the Elite society. We grew to hate Phoenix;
with a passion. As the series continued, we still couldn’t stand him. In Ember,
that all changes. We see a completely different side of Phoenix. Knowing about
Phoenix’s past prior to this book, I was really worried about how she could
turn everything around and make him a good guy or if he’ll continue to be the
enemy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I knew with this
book, it was going to go into his past and it was going to be difficult.
However, as we have seen in many books before, EVERYONE should be given a
second chance. Phoenix didn’t believe he deserved it though. He felt that with
everything that he did he did not deserve that second chance, that chance at
redemption. He denied himself anything that that he felt was a privilege. He didn’t
need anyone to punish him because he punished himself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">We met Bianki
Campisi or as everyone calls her; Bee in Elicit. She is the Cappo’s sister. So naturally Tex is
there; making me love him more. However, Bee still has her own insecurities.
Before she was reunited with Tex, she was alone. Phoenix was there to ease that
pain so she naturally turns to him. She feels close to him. Bee’s definitely a
sweetheart. We saw her in Elicit, but definitely not as much as we see her in
this book. I thought she was adorable. She knows what she wants and she knew
deep down what she needed to do to get what she wanted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Phoenix tries to
ward Bee off with everything inside him. He tells her he’s no good. He tells
her that he dangerous, but they are continually thrown together. They play
games. Pushing and pulling toward one another. Bee wants to be with him.
Phoenix won’t allow him to feel anything for her. He didn’t believe he deserved
anyone and especially her. Her being the Boss’s sister just made him push her
away even more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">The other guys
from the series definitely make their way into this story and I continue to
love them! They are hysterical and I couldn’t stop laughing whenever they made
their way into the story. For such a dark story, they brought so much lightness
to it. I will never be able to sit at family breakfast again without laughing
ridiculously. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Would he allow
himself to fall for her? Would he let himself get the happy ending that he
deserved whether he thought so or not? Would secrets that have stand hidden
come to light and forge something even more within the world we’ve grown to
love? Rachel surprises me with every new book in this series and I hope it
continues this way. I was able to enjoy this book so much. It was beautiful. It
proved even the tortured has a chance at redemption. I laughed and cried and I
hope you do the same! #BloodinBloodOut</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC;">Summary:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC;">From the author of the Fate series and The Deep End of the Sea comes a fantastical romantic adventure that has Alice tumbling down the strangest rabbit hole yet. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC;">After years in Wonderland, Alice has returned to England as an adult, desperate to reclaim sanity and control over her life. An enigmatic gentleman with an intriguing job offer too tempting to resist changes her plans for a calm existence, though. Soon, she's whisked to New York and initiated into the Collector's Society, a secret organization whose member confirm that famous stories are anything by straight forward and that what she knows about the word is only a fraction of the truth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC;">It's there she discovers villains are afoot--ones who want to shelve the lives of countless beings. Assigned to work with the mysterious and alluring Finn, Alice and the rest of the Collector's Society race against a doomsday clock in order to prevent further destruction... but will they make it before all the endings are erased?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC;">*This is the first book in a series*</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Review:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I received this
book in exchange for an honest review.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I really enjoyed
this book. At first I was a bit confused and I thought the beginning was a
little choppy, but it picked up and started to move better. I thought the plot
line was very original, I just wish that it was all explained a lot more. It seemed
that there are little holes throughout that leave you trying to decipher what’s
going on rather than enjoying the book. This did not deter me from continuing
on and finishing the book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Alice, who has
grown considerably since her last trip to Wonderland, wants nothing to do with
it. She escapes by the skin of her teeth and only has a room at an asylum to
show for it. After finding herself there for half a year, she is catapulted
into what we learn is The Collector’s Society. Alice herself is strong willed
and shows a lot of potential throughout the book. She proves that even though
she might seem fragile, she is bad ass and can hold her own. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">The book itself
moves at a decent pace but much of the action doesn’t happen more until you’re
about ¾ of the way through. Plus with as much dialogue that takes place, you
would think that more would have been explained, but you’re left empty handed.
Don’t take this as me saying that it’s a bad book. Like I said earlier, I really
enjoyed the book, I just felt shafted in some areas. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Finn, the male
lead is quirky and charismatic and very loyal. The only thing I would have
wanted was a little more depth from him. He also just has an air about it that
you have to like. He is about his missions and his partner. The sexual attraction between him and Alice was
definitely there, leaving you wanting more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Being listed as a
New Adult story, I would have loved to have seen more intimacy, but unfortunately
we don’t really see that. We get a few ridiculously short scenes and that’s it.
Nothing to really show the intimacy between the two further. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Overall, I thought
the book was really good. I’m very interested in what the next book brings and
I’m hoping that when I read it, more of my questions will be answered. I really
enjoyed the combining of so many characters from so many different books, many
of which I have read. It’s interesting to see how she entwined them together to
formulate this book. Plus it’s fun to try and figure out who is who and what
story they came from. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Once we were on
the road, Phoenix chose the correct music for our drive. I say correct because,
according to him, one didn't start the day listening to hip-hop or anything
remotely fun. No. Mr. Rogers had me listening to classical music.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Classical.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Mozart, to be
exact.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Not that I wasn't
a fan of the arts, but really? It just seemed so against what you would expect
from him. He was the bad boy personified; like, if you put his name in the
dictionary, right next to it would be "And mothers warned their daughters
to stay away, but the heart wants what the heart wants, and that heart wants
that body… bad."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">He was all lean
muscle and tight abs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">And I could have
sworn he had a dimple, but I'd never actually seen it. Phoenix's dimple was
like Bigfoot; I'd seen glimpses in pictures and via rumors, but I had never
actually seen it for myself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">One day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">One day I'd catch
it and take a mental picture or five. Maybe ten. Needless to say, I knew that
if I had one of his smiles, it would be a magical thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">His hands gripped
the steering wheel so hard I had a brief moment of panic thinking he was
actually going to rip the thing from the dash and have a breakdown. Sad part? I
half-expected it. He wasn't acting normal… well, he was always moody, but this
morning he seemed downright suicidal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">"So…" I
tried to zone out the instruments assaulting my sanity. "You went to Eagle
Elite, right?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">He was quiet for
a minute then gave a swift nod.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">"Wow, don't

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I cleared my
throat. "You graduate?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">"Sort

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">"Did you

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I gaped.

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">He shrugged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">"You're
driving me to school, forcing Mozart on my poor sensitive morning ears, and
just asked me if I had money for milk."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

Synopsis:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">The Fates are
cackling their bony asses off...<br />
<br />
It's been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life
to them. And so far, the jobs they've given him have been violent and
bloody--which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else
in mind for Seth. He's got to play protector while keeping his hands and
fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new
assignment might be the most challenging yet.<br />
<br />
Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy's deal might be, but it's a good bet
that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to
be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is
going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for
her.<br />
<br />
But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the
golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing
of all.<br />
<br />
Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">THE RETURN
Excerpt:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I
was a half-blood, but I was also the Apollyon, a child of a pure and a half, a
union that had been forbidden for thousands of years because an Apollyon was
more powerful than any pure or half could ever hope to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">And
I always got to the traitors’ hideouts before they did, so the Sentinels were
usually left with the cleanup, which I was sure absolutely thrilled them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">The
first to enter was a female half-blood dressed just as I was. Her black hair
was pulled back in a neat little knot at the top of her head. She was older,
probably in her mid-thirties. It was pretty rare for a Sentinel to live that
long. Her dark skin paled as she stopped just inside the entrance. She clenched
titanium daggers in her hands like she expected something vicious to pop out
from under the bloody mess.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">The
female Sentinel tipped her chin up, and the overhead light sliced across her
broad cheekbones. She bore a jagged scar under her right eye, the skin lighter
in tone. She saw me and froze.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">My
smile widened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Behind
her, another Sentinel rushed in, almost mowing her over. He saw me and
whispered, “Seth.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">He’d said my name
like I was the monster under his bed, and I sort of liked that. Then another
Sentinel and another rolled in. The fifth took one look at my interior design
work and keeled over. Slamming his hands on his knees, he hurled up his dinner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Nice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Our society
existed completely unknown to the average mortal and had operated under what
was known as the Breed Order for thousands of years. The Order had been
dismantled, which meant halfs were no longer forced to choose between becoming
Sentinels—hunting down violent creatures, protecting pures, enforcing laws, and
otherwise usually dying pretty damn quickly on the job—or servants, which was a
job that really wasn’t a job, but more like slavery. Since then, many pampered pures
had signed on to be Sentinels, making up for the loss of the halfs who’d pretty
much said <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">“Screw this shit,
I’m out.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">This wasn’t
necessarily a good thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">For example, the
dumbass puking all over my blood-covered floor was a pure. When he straightened,
his face a greenish hue, he backed away, shaking his head. “I can’t,” he gasped
out. “I can’t do this.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Then he turned
and hauled ass out the doors.</span><span style="font-family: "MS Mincho"; mso-bidi-font-family: "MS Mincho";"> </span><span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I
sighed. This was why we couldn’t have nice things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Known as one of
the youngest and most ambitious poker players in the country, Skyler Thorne has
a reputation to uphold in Vegas this year. Her sole focus for spring semester
is to perfect her game and get tournament ready – and have some fun with her
sorority sisters, of course. Meeting a care-free pledge with incredible arms
adds a whole new element of fun to her semester, but when a shocking discovery
about his past surfaces, Skyler finds herself stuck in a game she wasn’t
prepared to play. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Kip Jackson is on
a mission from his father. His plan was to get in, have a little fun, and then
get out – on to bigger and better things. A feisty girl with bright blue eyes
wasn’t on his list of things to do, but she quickly moves her way up to the
very top. When he realizes completing his dad’s mission means crushing her in
the process, he must decide if his dreams are worth the risk – or if he even
has the same dreams, at all. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Excerpt:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">There are three
things you should know about me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">One, I can read a
bluff like a neon street sign. Everyone gives themselves away in some form of a
twitch or another, and after a few rounds at the table with me, I can guarantee
I’ll know yours. So, throw your best fake smile or confident wink at me, but
just know I can see right through you – and we both know there’s no sense in
betting all your chips with nothing but a Jack high in your hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Two, I have the
best poker face in the game. I’ll make you think you’re reading me, show a
little sign of being nervous maybe or bite my lip in anticipation of the river,
but it’s all part of the plan. I’m building you up to expect the wind to blow
one way just so I can pull out an industrial size fan and send your shit flying
just the opposite. And if by chance you do get to me, you won’t know – because
I don’t let it show, not even a little. If anything, I’ll make you think you
actually played right into my hand – making you the nervous one, in turn. The
key to a killer poker face is to strip your soul of all emotion and show only
what you purposefully want the other person to see. And trust me – I’m the lead
singer in the band of No Emotion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Number three and,
perhaps, the most important thing to know about me is this: I know when to
fold. I know when to hang in tough, when to push my luck, when to bluff my ass
out of a tight situation and when to throw the cards down and run as fast as I
can in the other direction. In poker and in life, it’s all about knowing the
game you’re playing and how you stand up to the competition. And pace – you
have to know when to push and when to sit back and let it ride. Now don’t get
me wrong – I hate throwing in the towel as much as any other competitive,
adrenaline chasing poker junkie, but I’ve learned even in my short time in the
game that there are some hands you just don’t mess with… some cards that
forever trump others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">All three of
these things are true. If you asked any sports reporter, any poker analyst, any
pro standing around watching the final table of this tournament right now –
they would tell you all three of these things about me and maybe add in a few
notes of their own. Which is why I can’t understand why my hands are trembling,
why my skin is slick with a film of sweat as I drop any shred of a poker face I
have left and push the remainder of my chips forward – toward the one person
who managed to get under my skin, to break me down, to change the game, to flip
me on my ass and toss every rule I’ve ever had into a massive wood chipper,
leaving me with nothing but the shavings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">The last thing I
see before I close my eyes and give one final push of the chips toward the
center of the table are the burning blue eyes that will forever haunt me,
forever remind me that – even when we think we have a game completely mastered
– there’s always the possibility that Chance and his brother, Luck, will show
up and utterly screw everything.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Kandi Steiner is
a Creative Writing and Advertising/Public Relations graduate from the
University of Central Florida living in Tampa with her husband. Kandi works
full time as a social media specialist, but also works part time as a Zumba
fitness instructor and blackjack dealer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Kandi started
writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment.
In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her
classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly
halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took
particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a
die hard hopeless romantic (like most girls brought up on Disney movies).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">When Kandi isn’t
working or writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with
her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She
enjoys beach days, movie marathons, live music, craft beer and sweet wine – not
necessarily in that order.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Kristen ITC';">I just finished reading Nocte and knowing that this book is bein released today makes me so happy. I don't think I would have been able to last very long waiting for the next book to come out. I was a completely mind-blown with the ending of the book. I couldn't put it down and I hope the same will go for this book.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Summary:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">What do you want in
your stocking this Christmas? How about your favorite Gloves Off fighter, Ryley
Jameson?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">After moving away to
their cabin, Ashleigh and Ryley have grown to love each other more and more
every single day. Their lives will be forever changed as soon as their twins
are born, but Ryley is determined to get what he wants this holiday season. He
just hopes Ashleigh will give him this gift before it’s too late.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Perhaps Christmas
bells aren’t the only sounds you hear this season. Maybe there’ll be some
wedding bells and the pitter patter of little feet. It’s a holiday wish you
don’t want to miss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">EXCERPT:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">“What’s wrong?” I
asked, whispering the words. “You don’t look right.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">He took off his
gloves and brushed his fingers down my cheek. I was surprised they felt so warm
after being out in the cold for the past hour. “Let’s go inside before you
freeze out here.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Grabbing my hand,
he led me inside and shut the door. I stood there staring at him, my breaths
coming out in pants while I waited on him to take off his jacket and boots.
“Ryley, you’re freaking me out. What’s wrong?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Taking a deep
breath, he let it out and slowly turned my way. He was nervous. But what could
he possibly be nervous about? He grasped my hands and pulled me over to the
couch. When we sat down, he lowered his gaze to my hand, the one I wore my
engagement ring on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">“I will never
forget the day you told me you would marry me,” he said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">“Neither will I.”
The memories flooded my mind. It was a cool, brisk autumn day out in our
meadow. We had just made love on the grass when he slipped the ring on my
finger without me realizing it. It was a good day. “But I want you to tell me
what has you looking so lost. I thought everything was good this morning when
you left.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">“Believe me,
angel. Things are better than good. I’ve just been doing some thinking and I
wanted to talk to you.” He looked down at my ring again and twirled it around
my finger. “I gave you this ring because I love you, and because I can’t
imagine spending the rest of my life without you by my side.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">I squeezed his
hand and moved closer. “I feel the same way. I’m more than ready for next
October to get here so we can get married.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Releasing a heavy sigh, he lifted his blue eyes to mine. There was no trace of my playful Ryley, he was nothing but serious. "I don't want to wait till October"</span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "Kristen ITC";">New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, L.P. Dover,
is a southern belle residing in North Carolina along with her husband and two
beautiful girls. Before she even began her literary journey she worked in
Periodontics enjoying the wonderment of dental surgeries. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "Kristen ITC";">Not only does she love to write, but she loves to play
tennis, go on mountain hikes, white water rafting, and you can't forget the
passion for singing. Her two number one fans expect a concert each and every
night before bedtime and those songs usually consist of Christmas carols. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

over nine novels including her Forever Fae series, the Second Chances series,
and her standalone novel, Love, Lies, and Deception. Her favorite genre to read
is romantic suspense and she also loves writing it. However, if she had to
choose a setting to live in it would have to be with her faeries in the Land of
the Fae. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
