JBeBook 

  The debutante path is a fairly straight track: who you are, who you associate with, and whose label you are wearing become priorities. They define you. They are the aspects by which you are judged. Ashlyn’s world has been one of enlightenment and finesse, and now she is ready to take on the financial world at her father’s company just as he had always planned. Her future had been scripted long ago, but a chance meeting with a beautiful boy on a bicycle gives Ashlyn a new outlook on life.   Ethan is far too young, far too tattooed, far too pierced—just far too everything—to ever fit into her world.  He has issues, too—major ones.  Ashlyn knows he will never be accepted by her friends, let alone her overbearing father, but there is something about his live-in-the-moment outlook that keeps drawing her back into his arms. Ashlyn must make a choice.  Can she forgo the family dynasty and live life to the fullest with this fascinating but damaged young man?

I HEART BOOKS REVIEW 

Judging Books by Shay Savage
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5

We've all leaned not to judge based on looks, right???

I must admit a good book cover will definitely draw me in, but I've read books with just plain text in tree cover too. This story centers around why you should not judge things or people by their looks or possessions. It will make: tears stream down your cheeks, you laugh out loud, and melt here and there. And now a bit about the story...

Ashlyn is weeks away from graduating with her master's. She's about ready to interview for the assistant CFO position at her father's company. Appearances are very important in his business and their social circle. Ashlyn has to crush her interview and prove she deserves it. There is just one problem... her car battery is dead and she is running (literally) late in the heels she picked out. At a crosswalk she meets Ethan. At first she just hopes he leaves her alone. He's on a BMX bike, he has tattoos and piercings and she just doesn't have time for this. But his appearance is deceiving and she is drawn to him. Before she realizes it she has missed a light cycle. When he offers to give her a ride -- on his bike -- she doesn't know what to think, but decides to go for it. 

Favorite passages:
- “You never know what tomorrow’s going to bring, so don’t wait to do or say something important.  You only make real mistakes when you refuse to live in the moment.” 
- “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ethan.  How long have you known our Ashlyn here?” Our?  How many people did she think she was? 
- “He commented on my shoes.”  Ethan laughed.  “I told him Chucks were expensive as well as comfortable, but he just made a face like he was sucking a lemon.”

The Plan (An Off-Limits Standalone) by Ella James *~*~*~*~* Release Blitz & Giveaway






Title: The Plan
An Off-Limits Romance Standalone
Author: Ella James
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 27, 2017



Blurb


You’ve heard this story before. Woman feels her biological clock ticking and gets someone to knock her up.
Not for love, for baby.
Crazy, right?
That’s what I thought.
Then I found out my fiancĂ© had a vasectomy. The life I thought I had? Nope. Suddenly I’m 33, and I don’t even have a kissing buddy.
When my mom’s health takes a turn and I wind up back in my hometown of Fate, Alabama, I tell myself to leave things up to…well, you know.
Then I see Gabriel McKellan. He’s Fate’s most famous son, a bestselling author who is beautiful, complicated, and living just below me. In addition to his plus-sized brain, Gabe’s well-endowed in other ways, and great in bed to boot. I would know. He's my ex husband.
When I suggest The Plan, I don't imagine that he'll take the bait. It's been ten years, and we don't work. But Fate has other plans for both of us.

Dax (Bad Boys of Willow Valley #1) by Shannyn Leah *~*~*~*~* Release Blitz, Review & Giveaway


Title: Dax (Bad Boys of Willow Valley)
Author: Shannyn Leah
Genre: Contemporary Small Town Romance





About Dax: Dax is the first book in Willow Valley’s Bad Boy stand-alone series. These hot contemporary romance books feature alpha males heroes and strong, independent women.


Fall in love with Dax Coyln, a volunteer firefighter and hard ass mechanic for his restoration business. He’s strong, solid, independent, until tragedy strikes that could tear him to the ground.




It’s hard to resist a Good Man who’s a Bad Boy


Dax Colyn is one of the bad boys of Willow Valley. A fearless volunteer firefighter and hard ass mechanic, he makes all the woman swoon and he likes it that way. He keeps people at a distance since his mother died. He doesn’t want to let anyone in, much less a woman he knows he could fall in love with
Ava Anderson keeps people away, too. Haunted by her tortured past and constantly fearful of the future, it’s only her daughter Olivia and Dax’s dad Rowdy that she’s let in.
But when tragedy strikes, it pushes Dax and Ava together, forcing them both to let go of their fears. They soon learn how hard it is to keep pretending and how easy it is to let others in. Especially when those people are family.





BONUS EXCERPT :
“Dax?” She’d moved directly beside him and he felt her warmth radiate near his arm. “Rowdy says you haven’t gone back to the hospital for a follow up on your shoulder.”
She set the princess-patterned bag on his desk before he could reply, not that he needed to answer her. They both knew he hadn’t gone back to see the doctor. He hated hospitals.
A couple weeks back on their way back to the station after dousing a farm fire, the new guy had driven off the road and flipped the fire truck on its side, sending all five of the men to the hospital. Had the ambulance driver not given him a choice, he wouldn’t have gone in the first place.
Big deal. Firefighters got muscle sprains all the time. Although his shoulder was being a pain and not healing. He should have gone for the follow up, but he could scrounge up a thousand excuses to hold it off, too.
Ava unzipped Olivia’s knapsack and pulled out a container of gel. “Let me see your shoulder.” Her teacher’s tone again. Damn woman.
“Ava—”
“I didn’t ask. Take off your shirt, Dax.”
He leaned back in his chair to get a better look at her. He put on his famously seductive grin and tapered his eyes. “I’ve been trying to get you out of your shirt for years and you think you can come into my office and, after one demand, think I’m going to just strip for you? Do you think I’m that easy?”
Her lips curved upwards. “You are that easy.”
“Take yours off,” he retorted.
Her jaw tightened, as did the grip on the jar in her hands. Humor swept away, her eyes didn’t waver from his, and he watched desire heat up in them. The attraction between them resonated around the four walls of his office and he knew sex with her would be mind-blowing. Except, he’d never sleep with her. He couldn’t. As much as he teased and flirted, at the end of the day, they didn’t mix. Hot and cold. Water and fire. Besides, his dad would whoop him good and serve him up for dinner if it ever went that far.
Ava’s fingers grasped the edge of her blue and white plaid blouse and hiked the material high enough to see her naval.
Goddamit. They were in his office and the wall overlooking the shop was encased with windows.
He caught her wrist, conflicted with wanting more, all of her and not wanting any of her at all.
“Alright,” he growled, pulling her shirt back down over her denim shorts.
He stood up, ignoring what looked a hell of a lot like hurt in her eyes and yanked his own black T-shirt over his head. He balled it up, frustration invading his hands and tossed it onto his desk.
“If I’d known it was that easy to get your shirt off, I would have flashed my sprained shoulder a helluva long time ago.”
One thing was for certain, the teasing had to end. She’d never given an inch and today she’d have given a whole damn foot.

I Heart Books Review

Dax: Bad Boys of Willow Valley by Shannyn Leah
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5


It all started with a spark...

New series staring the bad boys of Willow Valley. This was my first book by Shannyn and I loved her writing style. Only the need to get a few hours sleep caused me to put the book down. Her characters are lovable, her scenes come to life in your mind, and the mix of emotions - love, hate, fear, sadness, humor, and bravely well have you hooked too. I'll have to add her other Willow Valley series to my TBR!! And now a bit about the story...

Dax and his father, Rowdy, co-own and awesome car restoration shop. Among with both being firefighters. Ava came to town years ago pregnant, scared, and with nothing to her name. Rowdy gave her a chance and soon Olivia was born and they became a big family. Through in a few more characters from the valley and the story keeps you on your toes. The sparks are flying between Dax and Ava, but they've always kept their distance. The gap is slowly closing though...

Favorite passages:
- “You know, son, there was a time when you were a newbie.”“And you fired me more times than I can count.”
- “Even when I’m not at work, I’m babysitting foolish, immature boys.” Wanda laughed. “Boys never grow up, honey. They just learn how to mask their immaturity with their charm.”
- “Alright. Are we going to share these afterwards?”“Yes. Now shhh, all your chatting is distracting me.”

About Shannyn Leah


Contemporary romance author Shannyn Leah loves olives, lip gloss and reading (and writing) romance novels. Her love of words started at an early age and soon grew until, during her teenage years, she’d started writing her own novels. When her mom pushed to finally publish some of the stories, she quickly amassed two complete romance series (By The Lake and Caliendo Resort series) and, in 2016, released her first Fantasy Romance entitled The Gatekeepers (Part One of the Winters Rising series).
When she's not writing contemporary romance books into the early hours of the morning, Shannyn can be found antiquing with her two favorite people, her momma and sister, in their picturesque London, Ontario hometown.


Shannyn would love to get to know her readers as you get to know her (just don’t send her any carrots!)
