🎸SYNOPSIS 🎸

The One didn’t exist.

Then I met Meadow.

The band's honorary little sister was off-limits. Too late for that. She says we’re “nothing serious,” but she’s gotten under my skin and I can’t stop thinking about her. And when I touch her, I know we’re meant to be.

Happy Endings don’t exist.

Not even with Ridge.

My big plans never included falling for a rock star. Too soon for that. He wants to make us a “thing,” and I can’t deny our chemistry is combustible. His persistence is wearing me down, making his proposition hard to resist.

If true love only exists in fairy tales, why am I beginning to believe that Ridge just might be my happily ever after?

Cover Reveal: The Fall by Kristen Callihan

    


The first time I met Jax Blackwood things went a little sideways. In my defense, I didn’t know he was Jax Blackwood—who expects a legendary rock star to be shopping for groceries? More importantly, a blizzard was coming and he was about to grab the last carton of mint-chocolate chip. Still, I might have walked away, but then he smugly dared me to try and take the coveted ice cream. So I kissed him. And distracted that mint-chip right out of his hands. Okay, it was a dirty move, but desperate times and all that. Besides, I never expected he’d be my new neighbor. An annoying neighbor who takes great pleasure in reminding me that I owe him ice cream but would happily accept more kisses as payment. An irresistible neighbor who keeps me up while playing guitar naked–spectacularly naked–in his living room. Clearly, avoidance is key. Except nothing about Jax is easy to ignore—not the way he makes me laugh, or that his particular brand of darkness matches mine, or how one look from him melts me faster than butter under a hot sun. Neither of us believes in love or forever. Yet we’re quickly becoming each other’s addiction. But we could be more. We could be everything. All we have to do is trust enough to fall.   ADD TO GOODREADS

Blog Tour: Timid by Devney Perry



   

 Willa Doon has always been shy. Her quiet demeanor was something she’s always embraced. That is, until Jackson Page moves to town. The one man she desperately wants to take notice struggles to remember her name. Year after year, Willa stands by, watching as the bartender slash playboy drowns his demons in beer and sex. Then one night, he shows up at her door, suddenly aware that the girl he’s seen around Lark Cove is now a beautiful woman. Except what he doesn’t remember is that this visit isn’t his first. They spent a night together once before. A night he’s forgotten, thanks to a bottle of tequila. A night that crushed a timid girl’s heart, and set a broken man on the path to heal them both.

  I scooched my chair in toward the table, trying to put a little more space between Jackson and me, but he wasn’t having it. He put both hands on the back of my chair, then leaned in close. “Hi, Willa.” “Uh . . . hi.” I shivered at the heat from his chest on my bare shoulders. Why was he standing so close? My parents were right there. Our table was one of four tall, square ones in the center of the room and there was plenty of space between tables. Plenty. P-L-E-N-T-Y. But was Jackson using any of that plentiful space? No sirree. He stayed pressed against the back of my chair, like there were only three inches of usable space behind him, not three feet. My skin prickled he was so close. I tried to nudge my chair forward again but it barely moved. Sweat beaded on my temples and I pulled in a shaking breath. Jackson’s woodsy, rich scent was everywhere. It overpowered the stale beer, pizza and peanuts, and I inhaled a deep breath, unable to resist. Sexy Hot Forest. That’s what they’d call his cologne.


      


REVIEW


I've been waiting for Timid since the moment I finished Tattered, curious to see how things would work out between Jackson and Willa and what they'd face together in their story.

From the glimpses we got of Jackson's past in Tattered, we knew he'd been through a lot and had to have emotional baggage, but getting more details, really feeling his hurt and seeing his trust issues, well that tugged on my heart. What I really liked about Jackson is he's a good guy, one of the best, but he doesn't know it because no one has ever really shown him his worth before. So of course he struggles with that - and that develops a few problems once things really get going between him and Willa.

Willa has always loved Jackson, from the moment she saw him she's wanted him and known they were meant to be. That doesn't mean life has always been easy watching from the sidelines waiting for him to notice her, anxious for him to see that she's the one. Shy and quiet Willa thought the moment had finally come only to discover it was a trick of fate, one that would soon to be fixed and the path for these two would start anew.

Jackson and Willa's story is a long, emotional journey. A story of finding your worth, finding value in others and above all else letting go of the bad and facing your fears so you can discover the better waiting for you. There were times I wanted to bop Jackson on the head and tell him to open his eyes and really see what he had found in Willa, but on the other hand I also understood the depths of his fears, of his worry, of his constant feeling that something could/would go wrong. With each page that I read, with each word imprinted on my heart and mind, I fell madly in love with these two characters and I was swept up in their emotions, right into the heart of the battle they didn't even know they were fighting.

I was impressed with the surprises and shocks that came as the story progressed, ups and downs I didn't expect right alongside those that I did. With an amazing cast of side characters we knew and loved from book one, and new ones to know, Timid sunk me deep into Lark Cove and left me not wanting to leave.

Perry has an amazing way with words, they make the story a living thing, a part of you, one you can't escape and don't want to. I cannot wait to see what awaits me in future books of the series, one thing is for certain though, I'll be in for quite a ride

About ALL I WANT IS YOU

You met them in DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME. Now prepare to fall in love with THE YOUNGERS, a brand-new series from Iris Morland, full of sexy men, passionate women, and the love stories you can't get enough of.
A brilliant, aloof lawyer, Phin Younger has focused solely on his career and on helping people less fortunate.
Living his life without romance? He’s just fine with that. Phin knows all too well how relationships make life messy and complicated.
Until the day Emily Lassiter begs Phin to help her teenage brother. Beautiful but as fierce as a lioness, Emily is like no other woman he’s met.
Suddenly, all of Phin’s plans to avoid romantic entanglements are thrown out the window the moment he sets eyes on Emily.
A former model, Emily now struggles to make ends meet for herself and for her teenage brother Josh. When Josh commits a crime that could put him behind bars for years, she turns to her brother’s court-appointed lawyer, Phin Younger, for help.
But Emily never expected that her brother’s lawyer would be young and handsome. And she definitely never expected that Phin’s kiss would heat a need inside her that soon transforms into a conflagration.
When these two can no longer deny their feelings for each other, an embittered rival of Phin’s threatens to destroy his career, dragging Emily into the scandal.
Now these star-crossed lovers must overcome the fears that hold them captive—or face a future without the love that could set them both free.

Read an Excerpt from ALL I WANT IS YOU

After a few more tries, Emily managed to hit the board instead of the wall around it. When her dart landed in the circle closest to the bulls-eye, she squealed. “I did it! Look, I hit the dartboard!” To Phin’s shock, Emily threw herself into his arms, hugging him like he’d given her a car for her sixteenth birthday. Nonplussed but unwilling to let this moment pass, he hugged her back. She smelled amazing, and Phin wished he could tilt her head back and kiss her right then and there. To his surprise, she did tilt her head back to look up at him. When she licked her lips, that movement shot straight to his groin. The noise of the dive bar faded away, and every thought except Emily being in his arms fled Phin’s mind. He cupped her cheek. Her eyes widened. And then somebody bumped into Phin, mumbling “sorry, man” as he passed by. The moment broken, Phin let Emily go. What the hell was he doing, almost kissing his client in some dive bar? And when she was obviously tipsy? “I should get you home,” he said. “It’s late.” “Oh. Okay. Thanks.” Phin told himself that Emily was silent on the ride to her apartment because she was tired, but he knew better. He almost apologized, but that would only make things worse. Because he didn’t want her to think he didn’t want her. He also didn’t want her to think he did want her. What a mess he’d gotten himself into. “This is it,” said Emily, pointing. Phin parked on the street, squinting at the run-down building with trash scattered in front of it. Cats screeched nearby, while something that looked like a raccoon riffled through the bags of trash. A homeless man was curled up near the stairs to the building. Emily lived here alone? It’s none of your business. She’s a client. “I’ll walk you inside,” he found himself saying. He walked her to her door, one that was clean but worn like the rest of the complex. One of the numbers on Emily’s door was missing. Phin heard shouting in a nearby apartment, and then the sound of something breaking. “Thank you for tonight,” said Emily. She jangled her keys, clearly agitated. Phin put his hands in his pockets, mostly so he wouldn’t touch her again. “Of course. I’d do it the same for any woman.” Emily’s face fell, and Phin immediately regretted his words. “Well, good night.” Emily unlocked her door and was about to go inside when Phin stopped her. “You can call me anytime you need me.” Why am I saying this? Suddenly, he didn’t care about the reasons why. “Are you sure you’ll be okay here?” She blinked. “At my apartment? Yes.” Phin wanted to offer to stay with her, to protect her, to keep her from any harm. It was a primal reaction, one he’d always considered ridiculous. But this woman turned him inside out. He nodded stiffly. To his surprise, Emily reached out and touched his arm before clasping his hand. “You’re a good guy, Mr. Younger. Better than any I’ve met in a long time.” “Phin,” he said, his voice low. “Phin, then.” Her voice was a thready whisper. The clasp of their hands bolstered him. He moved his hand so it gripped her arm, and then she was in his arms again. She didn’t pull away, and for that, he thanked the universe. Because he was going to kiss Emily Lassiter, and damn the consequences. When his lips touched hers, she gasped, the sound quickly turning to a soft moan. That sound heated his blood as he kissed her. He reveled in the softness of her lips and the way she melted against him. She was all softness and light, and he wished he could keep her safe from everything in this life that could hurt her. He kissed her until she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back with an ardor only matched by his own. Someone yelled, reminding Phin of where they were. He ended the kiss with reluctance, especially as he took in Emily’s red cheeks and lips. The yelling brought clarity to his hazy mind. What was he doing, kissing his client in the middle of the night like this? Grimacing, disgusted with himself, he set her away from him through sheer force of will. “I’ll talk to you later.” He turned before she could even reply. He hated doing this to her, this hot-and-cold act. But he couldn’t let this happen again. His career was on the line. Not only that, but Emily’s brother’s life was on the line, too. If Phin’s behavior were somehow made public, Phin could be removed from the case. And then what? Would Josh get remanded to adult court because no one else wanted to touch a case that was now tainted? I need to let her go, Phin said over and over again as he drove home. No matter how much I don’t want to.
