Two
lives bound.

Drowning to Breathe
A Bleeding Stars Novel,
Book 2






EXCERPT

Lust and love fought for dominance in his expression when he tore himself away, and he slammed my door shut and ran around to his side. I didn’t hesitate to shift in my seat, my hand going to the flat, rigid planes of his abdomen as he shifted hard, tires squealing as he took to the street. I kissed at his neck and teased at his ear, fingers toying with the waistband of his jeans, while he groaned and tried to focus on the road. 
“You tryin’ to kill me, Shea?” 
I gasped when the car jerked and Sebastian made a sudden, sharp turn, and then another. He screeched to a stop on a deserted side street. 
A fog of lust clouded my mind as I was yanked back onto his lap, my knees on either side of his legs, his needy cock grinding at the seam of my cut-off shorts as his mouth overtook mine.
Oh. God.
I moaned, fingers digging into his shoulders.
I arched up and pressed my breasts to his chest. They ached with just a glimmer of the need throbbing between my thighs. 
Hot hands gripped the outside of my hips, forcing me back down on his dick that strained from his jeans. 
I might have been on top, but he was definitely in control.
“Fuck, baby…what have you done to me…what have you done to me? Dying to be inside you. Have to feel you. Need you so bad.” 
“You have me.” 


















He wanted nothing at all…

Until he found she had everything to give…

Sunder lead singer and guitarist Sebastian Stone has
everything—fans, fame, and fortune. He also has a heart full of bitterness and
a reputation for a short-fused temper. But an outward reputation rarely reveals
the true man inside. Facing assault charges after trying to protect his younger
brother, Sebastian is sent to Savannah, Georgia to lie low until the dust
settles in L.A.

Shea Bentley is beautiful, kind, and hiding from the very
lifestyle Sebastian has always embraced.

When the mysterious, tattooed stranger begins hanging out at the
bar where she works, Shea is quick to recognize he is nothing but trouble, but
she's helpless to the way her body lights up every time his intense gray eyes
tangle with hers.

They both soon find themselves drowning in a sea of desire and
passion that won’t let them up for air.


Sebastian knows firsthand secrets never die, and he’s not the only
one who’s hiding them.

Loving someone always comes with a price. But will it be Shea’s
past that costs them everything?

Sarah Reviews Roxy, Pandemic Sorrow #3 by Stevie J. Cole

Roxy Banner


Title: Roxy (Pandemic Sorrow Book 3)
Author: Stevie J Cole
Book Tour: May 11 – May15
Hosted by: SBB Promotions

add-to-goodreads-button31
Roxy Cover
Synopsis
My life had been no fairy tale. Actually, growing up, it had been something more like a nightmare, which is why I ended up so hard. When you don't want to hurt having the ability to be numb is your best defense mechanism. And for a long time all I was doing was existing.
Jag Steele, the lead singer of the international rock band Pandemic Sorrow, was the epitome of everything I despised: arrogant, entitled, but the thing I hated most about him was that he was an addict. Drugs had been the demon that had ruined everything in my life, and anyone who had a love affair with them pretty much made my stomach turn. It brought up memories I wanted to stay buried. Needless to say, I wasn't exactly a fan of Jag.

Funny thing is, people aren't always who you expect them to be. Never in a million years would I have thought the night I meet Jag would have any significance on the rest of my life, but it did.

I found out that sometimes something that screams utter destruction might actually be your saving grace.

Some people may say our story is too screwed up to be a romance, but for two broken people, we made the pieces fit together perfectly.

Review

Sarah’s  4 Star Review:

I really enjoyed Roxy by Stevie J. Cole. This is the 3rd book in her Pandemic Sorrow series but can be read as a standalone. We first meet Roxy in Jag which is the first book in the series. This book does include some difficult situations so please read with caution.

"This is a raw, gritty, very real fairy tale. It may not be perfect, but it is f*cking beautiful."

Roxy has had a really rough life and it has left her a very bitter person. She lost her mother when she was young, her dad became a drug addict, her brother that was always her rock committed suicide. She has learned to shut everyone out of her life because she can't handle getting close to someone and then having them leave her. When she meets Jag at a concert she knows he is everything that she doesn't need in her life. She does agree to hang out with him and the more times she does she realizes there is more to him than what he lets people see. Will she be able to get past his drug issues and let him into her life or will she continue to live a miserable life alone?

Jag loves his rock star lifestyle. He loves to sleep with a different woman every night and has no desire in relationships. He has been to rehab but still hasn't been able to completely kick the habit. He meets Roxy at a concert and he is very attracted to her but he quickly finds out that she has no interest in him because of his drug problem. The more time her spends with her the more he thinks that maybe committing to one person isn't such a bad thing but he knows Roxy won't stay with him because of his drug problem. Will he ever be able to completely give up the drugs in order to have a healthy relationship with Roxy?

I loved the deep connection between Roxy and Jag. These two developed such a deep love for one another and I am so happy with the outcome of their relationship. This book took me on quite the emotional rollercoaster but I loved every second of it. This book shows how true love will always shine through even during a persons darkest days. Stevie did an awesome job with this book and I can't wait to see what she is working on next.

REVIEW TOUR; FALLING DEEP BY DIANA GARDIN



We're celebrating the release of FALLING DEEP by Diana Gardin!


Title: FALLING DEEP
Author: Diana Gardin
Age: New Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Grand Central/Forever Yours
Scheduled to release: April 7, 2015

BLURB:

Reed Hopewell is a lot of things to a lot of people . . .


To his parents, he's the son who needs to get serious. To his friends, he's the player they all want to be. And to his fans, he's the hottest rocker in Charleston. But never has Reed been anyone's hero-until the night he finds Hope.



Hope Dawson can count the number of men she trusts on one hand. Definitely not the guys she goes out with or the stepfather who treats her like property. She'd be out of his house tomorrow if not for the need to protect her little sister. But when things at home go from bad to worse, Hope has to act fast-and Reed is the only person she can turn to . . .


SARAH’S 4 STAR REVIEW:


Falling Deep is the first book I have read by Diana Gardin and it definitely won't be my last. I am a huge fan of rockstar books and I must say I really enjoyed this one. I will surely go back and read the first book in this series to get a better understanding of Sam and Aston's relationship.

Reed Hopewell is a business man by day as this is what his parents think he should do with his life but at night and on the weekends he sings at local clubs because performing is his true passion in life. He is quite the ladies man and has no intention of settling down until he lays eyes on Hope, the most beautiful girl he has ever seen while at the local club. He ends up having to save Hope from being attacked by the guy she is on a date with and he is very intrigued by her. Will Hope by the one to finally get Reed to settle down and want to be in a committed relationship? 

Hope Dawson spends lots of nights at the club working for her stepfather as an escort. She absolutely hates her job but in order to protect her sister Violet from their abusive mother she has no other choice. She is very intrigued by Reed but she knows that in order to keep the peace at home she must remain single as part of her job. When things in her life take a turn for the worse she runs to the one guy she has been trying to stay away from. Things start to get serious between Reed and Hope the more time they spend together and Hope finally feels like she can open up to him about her life.  Will Hope finally be able to open up to Reed and reveal the secret she has been trying to keep hidden? Will he stick around when he finds out the secret Hope is keeping from him?


I loved the connection between Reed and Hope. These two went through many ups and downs throughout the story but always seemed to find their way back to one another. The secondary characters added lots of depth to the storyline. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Gardin in the future.

REVIEW TOUR: REDEEMING KYLE BY ZOEY DERRICK




SARAH'S 4.5 STAR REVIEW:

I have really enjoyed the 69 Bottles series by Zoey Derrick. Redeeming Kyle is the final book in the series. This book picks up right where Craving Talon left off. I loved the emotional rollercoaster this series took me on and I am sad that it is over. This book is not a standalone and must be read after Claiming Addison and Craving Talon. The sex scenes in this entire series are FREAKING HOT!!!

Addison, Talon, and Kyle are so deeply in love with each other but the quick pace of their ever changing relationship becomes to much for Kyle and he decides he needs a break from it all. Addison is devastated when Kyle leaves and isn't sure if she wants to continue the tour with the band. Talon is able to convince her that Kyle does love them both and he will come back when he is ready. I fell deeper in love with Talon in this book as he had to really step up to the plate and help Addison through the thought of Kyle never coming back. Addison doesn't take proper care of herself after Kyle leaves and ends in the hospital. Talon blames himself for what happened to Addison and he is pissed at Kyle for leaving them as he has always been the caretaker in the relationship.  Kyle is struggling with his past issues and feels that he isn't enough for Talon and Addison. Will Kyle be able to let go of his past issues and find peace and love with Talon and Addison? Will Talon and Addison's love be enough to get Kyle to come back to them and stay forever?

I loved the intense loving connection between Addison, Talon and Kyle. They were always so supportive of each other and would do anything for one another. These three have been through so much in their relationship but their love for one another continues to grow stronger.  I was so happy with the way their story ended and I hope to read books about the remaining band members soon!

Author: Meghan Quinn
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Meghan Quinn
Release Date: February 17th

FameCover

The moment you think everything is perfect in your life, it can all come tumbling down on top of you.

Shattered Souls hasn’t seen each other in months. Deception and ghosts from the past have torn them apart, leading them their separate ways. When they realize they need to solve their differences and get back together for the sake of the band, they can’t find their lead singer, Rook Tyler, who’s been missing for months.

Twisted Perfection is just coming off the high of yet another tour but this time, they weren’t riding the coat tails of Shattered Souls. Even though they’ve become more popular, all of the success from the last tour means nothing to Maisy as she continues to struggle daily from the loss of Rook.

Fame finds both of the bands but sometimes, it can be lonely at the top. Both bands realize if they want to succeed, they have to drop their differences and join together, but it’s never that easy. Lovers, drugs, people’s pasts and death get in the way, while they try to travel down the bumpy road toward fame.

Sarah's 4 Star Review


Fame is the second book in Meghan Quinn's Addiction series. Toxic is the first book in the series and should be read first. Fame picks up a few months after Toxic ends.

Shattered Souls all went their separate ways after their tour with Twisted Perfection ended. Rook was so afraid of letting Maisy into his messed up mind that he pushed her away in the most horrible way. He leaves everyone behind and goes into hiding. He knows the only way he can go with his life is if Maisy is in it and there is no chance that will happen because of the way he ended things. Will Rook keep hiding from everyone or will he find Maisy and do whatever it takes to get her back in his life?

Maisy has loved Rook for a very long time. She was completely devastated when he ended things with her. She tries to move on with her life but she feels completely lost without Rook. When he comes back into her life after 6 months of hiding will her feelings for him still be as strong as ever or will she finally have decided its time to move on without him?

"You didn't take your life that day Rook, you took mine."

"I'll never let go Boo,ever."

In this book we also get to catch up with the rest of the members of both bands. Grey and Landon are working on mending their relationship after their falling out over Quinn. Cruz is still just having fun with all the ladies and his enjoying his no strings attached relationship with Willow. Willow has gotten herself into some bad situations and I am hoping she figures things out in the next book. Kaid busies himself with writing music for the band as he is the glue that holds everything together. I hope he finds himself a lady friend in the next book.

I enjoyed the deep connection between all the characters in this book. I loved how they were always there for each other. There were times I had a hard time keeping up with everything as the books focus on multiple members all at the same time. I like reading a series where each book focuses on a different couple but we get to catch up with each couple as the series goes on.

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

“You’re an addiction I can’t overcome, no matter how hard I try.” – Rook Tyler

ToxicCoverNEW


His life consists of his best friend, Jack Daniels, his favorite drug of choice and women. Rook Tyler lives for performing at night and wasting the rest of his days washing away the pain from his childhood so he doesn’t have to feel anything...ever. The only people he trusts are his band mates from Shattered Souls and he wants to keep it that way. His life was completely under control and simple until he heard the voice of Maisy Madison filter through The Tavern speakers.

Growing up in the foster care system with her two other band mates from Twisted Perfection, Maisy finds herself doing pretty much anything to get her and her band noticed but nothing seems to be working. One lucky night, Shattered Souls, the most popular band in the country, decides to show up at their little concert and luckily signs them on the spot. But the arena venues and massive amount of fans isn’t what has Maisy shaking in her heels. It’s the deep baritone voice of Rook Tyler that has haunted her dreams for years which has her wondering if she can actually go through with the tour.

The force is almost too strong. He can feel her everywhere he goes and no matter how much he tries to resist her, he finds himself gravitating towards Maisy, wanting to hold her, kiss her and touch her. He knows he shouldn’t get involved. He knows no matter what, he will end up hurting her but he can’t help it, his soul is connected to hers and the pull is too strong for him to resist.

Rook warned her time and time again but she doesn’t listen, she doesn’t want to listen. She needs him and she doesn’t care that she knows deep down in her heart that their relationship is going to end in disaster.She refuses to acknowledge that no matter what they do, their love is toxic.
