REVIEW BY APRIL EPLEY

This is a 18+ book please. This is a sexy, steamy and very emotionally gripping story.  Shayne has done it again! I loved it. I would love to see some of the other characters develop more. Give me more please!

     JoEllen Astor had to grow up way too fast. It was as if she was the adult and her mother was the grown child. She is smart (very educated), sturdy and seems to be able to handle everything thrown at her. She is a sweetheart and I loved her to pieces. Even though life keeps trying to kick her down, she rises and does not allow defeat. Yes she has trust issues, you would too if you grew up the way she had. She is graceful in a way that amazes me and I very clearly see her in this story. I wish more people would appreciate life the way that Jo does.

     Jo works at The Dog Pound bar. All the while she is a master carpenter, welder, web designer and working towards her electrical degree. WOW! When she meets Holden Mayes, he is a bit of a mystery to her. When she gets home that night!!! OMG what a surprise. Regret for him and shock for her. Even though they form a friendship that is heartwarming. Oh did I forget to mention that Holden is the most patient man ever! On top of being sexy with his intense green eyes. When tragedy strikes he is there to help Jo in so many ways!  He is such a romantic sweet man! I love him!

     Twists and turns abound in this story! Life does not define you, You define life! This is a true story of that. This is an up and down, side to side book that will keep you hooked from beginning ot end! I am gladly giving this book 5 huge stars. I just loved it. It will keep your emotions reeling. You will probably cry (I did), yell, cuss, smile and maybe jump up and down. Please do yourself a favor and one click this book now! You will not regret it. Thank you so much Shayne for another wonderful story and I am looking forward to much more.

FAVORTIE QUOTES/EXCERPTS:

FROM HOLDEN:

 “I have no idea what it is about you that draws me. I’ve been watching you for months. I ran into Donna outside Walmart and she was an older version of you… I didn’t know how accurate that was at the time. I’m not excusing it, just explaining. I came back to see you…not your mother.”

 “I want to give you lots and lots of windows – so you can see all the beauty you’ve been denied, JoEllen.”

FROM JO:

 “I will soon enough. I’m not worried. This is all worth the life I’m gonna build myself. I take sh*t now and do what I have to so I can have a window later.”

 “To me, life is like gravity. You have to let it keep you grounded, but you can never let it keep you down.”

 She whispered, “A window. This is what waking up with a window is like.”

SYNOPSIS:

Life should keep you grounded...it should never keep you down.

About "Gravity"

JoEllen Astor grew up poor in one of the worst trailer parks in Oklahoma. A childhood spent taking care of her mother and working hard has made her world weary already.

One night, she meets Holden Mayes, a man who thinks she's far too young for a man like him but can't help but want her. He makes a mistake that almost derails their relationship before it ever starts and is determined to make it right...no matter how long it takes.

Their accidental friendship is the only thing that keeps her together when tragedy strikes that shakes the very foundation of Jo's world.

When a man is slow, steady, and determined in his pursuit...how long can you fight your feelings for him?

Read about overcoming anything and everything life throws at you so you can have your own happily ever after. Another hot, emotional read from Always the Good Girl, Shayne McClendon.

Searching for Tomorrow Blog Tour

Title: Searching for Tomorrow

Author: Kathryn M. Crane

Genre: Contemporary Romance/ Young Adult

Publication Date: October 21, 2013

Tour Host: Dreams Come True Promotions

Some people are blessed to find that one certain person who completes them.

Wrynn’s yesterdays were what others only dream of having. She and Tripp were the best of friends before they even thought about love. They had the fairy tale life where ‘like’ turns into ‘love’, and ‘love’ becomes ‘happily ever after’.

What happens when life conspires against you, and snatches your soul mate from your arms?

…only her forever love ended much too soon.

Broken beyond her own ability to repair, Wrynn boxes up her grief and attempts to raise her three girls the best she can on her own. As time slowly passes, Wrynn relives her life with Tripp while struggling most days to get out of bed. She is reminded of him at every turn.

How do you set your grief and anguish aside? How do you pick up the shattered pieces, put those pieces back together again, and try to move on?

Wrynn tries to find the joy in life every single day through her daughters, family, and friends. Her twin brother Liam has dedicated himself to helping Wrynn put her life back together after losing his own love. On the other hand, her mother-in-law lives to torment her at every turn. Wrynn can't even find a chance to breathe, much less a desire to somehow search for her tomorrow.

Kathryn is a simple country girl who likes to spend time with her hubba, hunka hubby, her three kids and her friends. She loves to cook and really loves to eat! During the spring and summer, you will more than likely find her outside puttering around in her garden. When the veggies start coming in, she will probably be sweating over a hot canner in the kitchen, canning all the goodies she is blessed with. Kathryn likes to hike and go camping, and as a Girl Scout leader, she gets to do this pretty often! On cold winter nights, you will probably find her wrapped in a warm blanket, lost in a good book, while sitting in her rocking chair on the front porch!

Kathryn was born and raised in North Carolina, and while she loves to travel, she can't imagine ever leaving the mountains that she has come to call home. Not a day goes by that Kathryn doesn't thank God for abundantly blessing her. He has been so good to her, and she is very grateful. She holds Jeremiah 29:11 very close to her heart and believes it with every fiber of her being. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Kathryn loves flip flops, chocolate, sweet tea and dirt between her toes. As far back as she can remember, she's had a book in her hand. Reading has carried her to places she will never go. It has introduced her to people that she will never meet. When life is great and when it is rough, she's always been able to find a book to carry her through. She finally decided to write down some of the stories in her head (yes, be scared) and heart after dawdling around and wasting years dreaming. She hopes you enjoy reading those stories as much as she loves writing them!

One Ride by Chelsea Camaron Tour

Title: One Ride (The Hellions Ride)

Author: Chelsea Camaron

Genre: Erotica

Publication Date: December 19, 2013

Tour Host: Dreams Come True Promotions

Delilah “Doll” Reklinger never imagined her life with anyone that wasn’t a Hellion. She never imagined a Hellion would come along and prove himself worthy enough to her father, Roundman, Hellions Club President. Content in living in the bubble of safety the motorcycle club family has always provided, Doll never thought that danger surrounded her.

Roundman has kept the Hellions contained for the last thirty years by controlling the chaos surrounding their lifestyle. When the dangerous side to their business comes knocking on his door, he realizes his precious Doll isn’t safe. The Hellions code may be that women and children are off limits in any altercation or dispute, but that doesn’t mean their enemies follow that same moral compass.

His only child, now in danger from the association to him and his club, Roundman makes a decision. He sends her away to a charter club, in hopes that the trouble won’t follow.

One ride across the country. One simple ride. Talon “Tripp” Crews has been ordered to take Doll on one ride away and to keep her safe. She’s off limits, his head knows this, but his body can’t deny the sparks between them. She’s feisty, fierce, and fearless. Constantly in close confines together, can they deny the chemistry? Will they give into the attraction between them? Can one ride turn lust into love?

~By April

     Definite 18+ readers only please!  I loved this Biker Club and the down to earth feel I got from this book.  I am totally in love with Tripp!

     The Hellions take care of their own, that is for sure!  Roundman is the Hellions Club President.  His daughter, Delilah, is off limits to all club members and they all know it.  Delilah is Roundmans Doll and that is what they all call her. Doll is full of spunk and feisty as can be. I adore her.  Between her and her best friend, Savannah (Sass), there is constant amusement throughout this story.

     When an associate becomes ill and his son Felix takes over all hell breaks loose.  Roundman sends Doll and Sass away on a ride with Talon (Tripp) and Rex.  This is to keep the girls safe and allow Roundman and the crew to clean things up.  Will Doll and Tripp be able to contain the desire they have for one another?  Will Tripp be able to keep his wants to himself?  Will Doll follow the rules?  Will the girls stay safe and out of danger?  You MUST read this book to find out!

     This book keeps you interested and I gladly read it in one sitting.  I am looking forward to reading some more from Chelsea Camaron.  I am giving this book 4 strong stars.  There were times I found myself laughing out loud and my husband looking at me like I was crazy.  I even felt compelled to share some spots with him.  Thank you I definitely recommend reading this story!

FAVORITE QUOTES/EXCERPTS

‘Hit it, get it, and go. No repeats, is the motto Rex lives by.

FROM DOLL: “Alright, we’ll go out. I love you, Savannah. I want you to be happy whether it’s with a suit, a biker, or hell, even a rock star. Promise me though, no white picket fence… at least paint that s**t black.”

FROM DOLL: If you’re too much of a p*ssy to go under the needle for the opportunity to be completely creative with the canvas known as your body, then you’re definitely too p*ssy to be with me.

Chelsea Camaron was born and raised in Coastal North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern Louisiana with her husband and two children but her heart is always Carolina day dreaming.

Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice.

Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspired her ‘Daddy’s Girls’ series. Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in the works.

When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in.

She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.

Tripp

*Warning mature content ahead- this scene is explicit so only post if your blog is set for adult content please*

A few beers later, Tank and I are playing pool in the back corner room. Three women come over to our game. For a bit they watch and giggle to each other. One is a bottle blonde, short only five foot, one or two. She’s wearing a black mini skirt that barely covers her ass, a navy blue halter top that her boobs are screaming to be let loose from, topped off with those fuck me heels that women love to wear and men love to feel digging into their backsides. The other two have dark hair, one is taller, maybe five eight or nine, the shorter one closer to the blonde’s height. The taller broad, is in a little black strapless number that she clearly doesn’t realize one ass cheek is already hanging out of. The shorter one, obviously more reserved than the other two, is in jeans and a fitted shirt. She walks away, returning to wherever they came from.

The blonde approaches me, with a smile that says seduction. She licks her lips as she trails her finger over my cut. Stopping, she breathes into my ear.

“I have a pocket you can sink into, biker.” She whispers.

“Is that so?” I reply, looking over at Tank. Her taller friend has now approached him and is mauling his face in what I believe to be extremely drunk kisses. I watch as Tank wraps his hand in her hair. Tightly, he pulls back on her, to slow her pace. He’s taking control, and soon going to take what he wants. Returning my attention back to the bar fly beside me, I move so she’s pinned between me and the pool table.

Taking the hint, she pulls me up against her. I lean down, she thinks I’m going to kiss her, but instead I whisper, as I breathe heavily on her neck.

“Darlin’, are you sure? Be ready, I’m going to fuck you hard, fast, and rough. Right here, in front of your friend, my brother, and whoever decides to walk in. Once I start, I’m not going to stop. Say no now, and walk the fuck away. Otherwise, take your panties off and stick them in my pocket. Then turn around and bend your ass over the pool table bitch.”

Without hesitating, her panties are now in my pocket. Pulling her skirt over her waist, her bare ass is now shaking in front of me. Getting a condom out, I unbutton my jeans and stroke my dick. As I’m getting hard, I look over to see Tank is already working his girl over. Her legs are wrapped around his waist, arms around his neck, and her head back as she’s moaning in ecstasy. Damn, they were quick to get to it.

Reaching around her front with my right hand, I slide up her thigh. At her juncture, I slowly tease her pussy lips with my fingers. Spreading them apart, I circle her clit as she rocks back on to me, seeking more. I increase the pressure and the pace on her clit. My dick is hard and pressing against her ass. She looks over her shoulder, down at my dick. Seeing the silver jewelry at the tip, she smiles.

“Fuck me, biker. Take that big, pierced cock and fuck my ass.”

If that’s what the hell the slut wants, who the hell am I to say no? The bitch wants it rough, fine. She’ll feel this shit for days. I push her head down onto the pool table. Removing my hand from her clit, I roll the condom on. I kick her legs further apart. Taking a few moments to finger her pussy, I use her own juices to start inserting my finger in her ass. Once she adjusts to the first finger, I add a second. With my other hand, I’m rubbing the head of my penis against her clit, letting the piercing apply that added sensation. She’s now rocking back rhythmically on three fingers. I remove my fingers and slowly insert the tip of my cock. I give her body a moment to adjust to my girth, as I inch in further. She’s tiny and there is no way I’ll be balls deep without hurting her. Her ass is tight and the lube from the condom isn’t enough. Once I’m inside her a good bit, I reach around with my left hand and massage her breast at the same time I begin rubbing circles on her clit. I tease the entrance to her pussy with my fingers. As I do, she rocks back engulfing my dick in her ass. It’s warm, soft, and so tight. I insert two fingers inside her pussy as I pinch her nipple. She rocks against me as I begin pumping both my dick and my fingers in and out of her. She’s clinching around me as her orgasm is building.

“Oh, oh, oh…yes…I’m coming.” She screams out so loud Tank and his play thing stop fucking to turn and watch us.

As she’s going through the aftershocks of her orgasm, she starts to raise her head up. I push it back down, as remove my hand from her pussy and my dick from her ass.

“I’m not finished yet. Bitch, stay put.” I say as I hold her down onto the pool table.

Fast and hard, I thrust my dick in her pussy now. I set a quick, intense pace, ready to get off and move on. Within a few hard thrusts, I allow my mind a moment of wondering, imagining the face of a doll, I come in the condom. Finishing, I pull out. Removing the condom, I tie off the top, and toss it in the trash can in the room. Adjusting myself, I zip up my pants. Looking over, I see Tank is finished as well. His girl already sporting a pouty face as mine is still bent over the pool table like she doesn’t know what just happened.

Deciding I am done for the night, I grab my beer, nod to Tank that it’s time to go. He follows me out of the room, leaving the two bar flies behind. They both call out to us. Rather than turn around and acknowledge them, I flip my middle finger over my head at them as we make our way by the bar towards the exit door.

This is book one of the Passion Series.

Book 2, Fabian's story is coming soon

From my teenage years, all I wanted to do was become a writer one day. Even now as an adult woman with a partner and three children who are not so little anymore, I've always lived with my head in the clouds, a dreamer, often amusing myself with my own imagination.

It might have taken me awhile to finally live my dream, but I did it, my first effort to try and join the many talented writers out there who have kept me entertained with their wonderful stories over the years.

I live in a sleepy country town in Tasmania, Australia with my partner and three children plus our 6 cats, dog, sheep and cattle.

I've had to overcome many emotional obstacles along the way to get to this point and attempting to self publish a book does tend to make a person feel like they've thrown themselves in at the deep end of the pool some what, but here's hoping some of you actually like what I write and save me from drowning in the deep end of the pool as I probably forgot to mention, I can't swim.

Excerpt

“Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned, it's been a few months since my last confession.” Gabriel sat down next to Jean-Luc in the pews and made the sign of the cross. Usually this was done in a confessional but Gabriel hated being in those small confined places. “No need to be so formal Gabriel, it's just us.” Jean-Luc looked at Gabriel, who shook his head. “It's still a confession,” Gabriel sighed deeply pulling his rosary out of his pocket and lowered his head as if he was praying. “Whenever you're ready.” Jean-Luc leaned back in the pew waiting. He knew confession was hard for Gabriel and that he was the only one he trusted with it. Gabriel kept silent as his mind tried to wrap around why he was here. The woman, that was his reason, he couldn't get her out of his head and his body had started to make demands from him. Demands he had tried so desperately to get rid of when he first became a priest. He was obviously frustrated as he stood up in what could have appeared to be annoyance. “God Damn it, Jean-Luc!” Gabriel leaned against a pew and clenched his jaw. He made the sign of the cross over his chest after realizing he had just used to the Lord's name in vain, something he's never done before. His irritation had to do with his lack of sleep in which his mind was constantly working to grasp at his own failure. It should have been a simple task given to him by God, kill the woman, and fulfill God's work. Now he was living with a sense of dread constantly looming over him. “I failed, He asked me to kill her and I failed.” “You're not a killer, Gabriel.” Though there was shock apparent in Jean-Luc's voice, he recovered and he placed his hand on his friend's shoulder. Gabriel leaned forward on his hands and let out a deep breath. Maybe Jean-Luc was right, maybe Gabriel wasn't a killer, but that didn't stop him from feeling the weight of his failure. He looked up to the cross that hung above the alter and sighed deeply. He turned to face his friend and Jean-Luc's hand slide off his shoulder “There's more?” “I had the knife in my hand, and it was pressed to her throat.” Gabriel looked down at his hands; he could still feel the knife in his hand, and he could still feel the weight of her shoulder under his palm. “All I had to do was push the blade into her neck and she would have been gone, but I couldn't do it.... I looked down at her and I just... I couldn't.” “Why?” It was a simple question. A question any priest would ask if they were in Jean-Luc's position, but it was a question Gabriel didn't know if he had the answer too. He sat down on in the pew and folded his hands in his lap and closed his eyes as he bowed his head. “I...” Gabriel bit down on his bottom lip as he thought about how to put it. “I think I care about her.” “What do you mean?” “I told you about my dream and what happened in my room?” Gabriel looked at Jean-Luc, who nodded and sat next to him. Gabriel sighed deeply before speaking again. “I wanted to kiss her again, I wanted to press her to my bed and feel her underneath me. I wanted to feel her bare skin under my fingers, I've never... Jean-Luc, in all of my life, even before I joined the priesthood, I have never felt like this.” “Do you love her?” Jean-Luc asked as he glanced at him. “Love?” Gabriel shook his head, “no, I think it's lust, but I … I won't break my vows just to find out. So,” he paused as he looked down at his hands. “What do I do?” “That, my friend, is between you and God.” Jean-Luc clapped his hand on Gabriel's back, then they sat in silence.
