BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY
SUIT (THE TWIN DUO)
JETTIE WOODRUFF
RELEASE DAY SEPTEMBER 21ST
When my sister, Isabelle showed up, just ahead of a tropical storm, nostalgia and a need to reconnect took us on a ride...directly into the eye of a different kind of disaster. I woke from a coma unaware that I even had a twin and married to a man with two little girls. Although I fell madly in love with children that I didn't remember, I did't feel like I belonged with Paxton Pierce. I couldn't be who he wanted me to be no matter how hard I tried. But things aren't always as they seem. I fought my own demons, trying not to be the submissive he required me to be, yet I craved it like a drug. I wanted him.
Once upon a time I was an identical twin.
And then I wasn't.
SHELLY'S 4 STAR REVIEW:
4 Stars
Kudos to Ms. Woodruff who weaved a story that will suck you in, mess with your mind, give you a false sense of happiness and then boom - blow it all up.
We meet Gabriella who is recovering from an accident but doesn't remember anything. Paxton is her husband and he is a man that runs hot and cold. One minute you hate him and then he is sexy as sin. Throughout this whole story I felt like I was living in the mind of Gabriella as she tries to figure out her life and her husband. You are right their with every moment that is terrifying, confusing, and happy. The story is told for Gabriella POV but when she sleeps she has dreams/flashbacks to her childhood. This helps you get to know her. Paxton is a dominate man who wants to be in charge. As the story progresses you can see he struggles with who the "new" Gabriella is. There are times he lets his guard slip a little.
So I will be confident and say that a few chapters in I thought to myself I have this all figured out. I know how it is going to end. Well Ms. Woodruff thank you for blowing up that theory and proving me wrong. Oh there were some things I was right about but for the most part she threw in twists and turns that I was like WHAT??? When is come to the ending I said a few (ok many) choice words and wanted to throw my kindle. That is saying a lot about this story because I knew going into it that it was a cliffhanger but I was so invested in the story that I wasn't happy. I am so happy part 2 is just around the corner.
This is the kind of story that you read and think to yourself what am I going to write in my review to do it justice. Well because of that I highly recommend you pick up this book yourself.
The next time I woke the
window revealed darkness. I felt irritated, but wasn’t sure why. Maybe because
the neurologist never came like he said he would. Maybe because I hurt. I hurt
everywhere. Even my eyes. Maybe the agitation came from seeing him. Why? Why
was he there? Why couldn’t he just go away? I gave him a dirty look and hit my
call button.

I shoved his hand away from

excruciating pain. Pain like I had never felt in my life. At least not that I
remembered.

My voice raised, yet it was
faint. “I want out of this bed, I want to know what’s wrong with me, and I want
you to go away. That’s what I need!” Faded words was all that I could muster.
It even pained me to raise my voice. My muscles didn’t work, and the ones that
did, hurt too much to move.

I wanted to tell him off,
tell him to go fuck himself. The words were on the tip of my tongue, but they
never formed in my mouth. The pain wouldn’t let them.

“What can we do for you,
Gabriella?” Another new nurse asked. She moved around me, checking vitals and
the drip in my I.V. while she spoke.

“Ten, more than ten. Oh, God.
Give me something. Please,” I begged. My neck and shoulders hurt every time I
moved my head, but I couldn’t help it. I was in unbearable pain, and nothing
else was on my mind. I just wanted it to stop.

I squirmed as much as
possible while I waited for relief, holding a flat hand over my face. Trying to
squeeze the pain from my temples didn’t work at all. It still hurt.

“Shhh, I’ve got you. Just
relax.” Soft words were whispered into my ear and Paxton’s warm body blanketed
my chest. His hands moved around me and he held me close to him. The scent of
“Stop fighting it, Gabriella. You’re only making it worse. You’re okay. I’ve
got you,” he said in a quiet tone while leaving soft kisses around my neck.
It’s stupid, but it did feel like it helped, like maybe some of the pain was
lifted.

Tears slid down both of my
eyes and he kissed them away, shushing me with soft words. Confusing emotions
flooded my body while I wept in the arms of a man I didn’t know. I didn’t know
what to say, what to feel, what to do, nothing. I knew nothing.

My
name is Jettie Woodruff. I am from Ohio. I don't know what genre I write in.
People tell me I have my own genre. I write whatever I feel, because
that’s what makes me happy. I don’t want to be in that box where I can only write
one genre. I
tend to like my bad boy's, taboo; the touchy subjects that make you want to
throw your kindle. Usually at said hot alpha male. Sometimes the female lead as
well. My motto is life is short. Very short. If it doesn't make you happy
anymore then why do it? Move on. Some of my favorite things, besides
writing are, friends, family, and the beach. Music, although my interest has
changed after forty, I like the new stuff.Happy Reading.
