My Review

Wreck You

Overall Rating 4.5 Stars.

            This is the first MC book, I’ve ever read, and this is Abby’s debut novel and I really really enjoyed it. I thought Abby did a fantastic job, and she did a great job drawing in the audience attention. I was quite intrigued by the story line and characters. I love the romance and heat, just enough of it. It wasn’t overwhelming.
            Maura is surrounding by the Devil’s Crusader’s, she is raised by them. Her father is very protected of his daughter.  She really isn’t looking for a relationship. But Corbin shows up in the picture, A hot sexy marine. Oh how Corbin is my new book boyfriend. Things get crazy when Dawson shows up in the picture, Maura childhood friend.. I don’t know my feeling about him at this time. Maura does have some trust issues while building a relationship with Corbin. Will her issues jeopardize the relationship? Will they end up just hurting each other more? I will say that Maura grows as a person and I really love her.
This book is a must read. This book does have violence just a warning but it is worth it. I really hope Abby keeps writing because I really enjoyed this book. Thank you for a great book Abby.

Excerpt One

“Oh no, you didn't!”  I say, smearing mud on the side of his face.

“I did!”  His voice is deep and it is anything but playful. It's filled with heat and desire.

I am secretly reveling in the fact that even though I’m covered in mud he finds me sexy.  He is laying on top of me and I can feel his hard body pressed against mine.

“Hi.”  I say as I bite the bottom of my lip, slowly dragging my teeth over the front.

“Hi.”   A smile and a softness in his eyes welcome me as his lips descend again.  His tongue circles mine and a warmth spreads through my body, clearly leaving a blush on my cheeks.

The kiss deepens and I bring my hand up to the back of his head.  Mud covers his hair, thick gobs fall onto my face and we kiss even harder.  I attempt to lift my knees and part my legs even though the heavy mud is making it difficult.  I press my body into him as much as I can, moaning into the kiss because the pleasure from just the kiss alone is enough to send me over the edge. He slows the kiss and pulls away.

“Woman, the things you do to me.” 

“Me? You know how turned on you have me?”

“I want nothing more than to take you.  You got me so fucking worked up watching you have fun all day like this and then here in the mud. But I’m not taking you for the first time knee deep in the mud.”

Okay, I guess I see his point there.

“When I take you, and I will take you, it’s going to be in a bed, where I can worship you.”  He kisses my ear.  “Taste you.” His hand caresses my breast.  “And claim every inch of that sweet pussy.”



excerpt 2



Finally, after several moments of silence, Corbin lifts my tear-drenched face upwards so that I am looking at his icy blues.

"I’m not sure if I can forgive you.  I want to.  I want what we had back so bad. I just don’t know if I can trust you.”  His voice has softened and I feel a small amount of hope, that he at least wants to forgive me.

“I’d do anything for you to trust me again.  I’ll prove to you….”

He cuts me off as I am pleading, “I have to leave, the phone call I was on was my superior.”

He pulls away from our embrace and I try to cling to him again, feeling like he is leaving for good.

“Will you call me?” My lip quivers as I ask the question.

“I don’t know.”

He heads for the door to leave and I instinctively follow him.  He walks outside to the Navigator and I throw my arms around his neck before he gets in.

“Please tell me this isn't goodbye?”

He doesn't answer my question.  He pulls me in closer to him.  I breathe him in, wanting to capture every part of this moment with him in case it’s my last.

Something dark is awakened inside of her, an unknown desire, an insatiable hunger for a master to use her for his pleasure. Her need for submission takes her down a winding path of pain and pleasure, as she comes to grips with her carnal lust, and her need to have it satisfied. Her captor awoke a sexual beast he hadn’t expected, and no one is prepared for Lana Martin.

Excerpt
Today, I feel like a king with a convincing win under my belt, and the beauty on my arm is the envy of most of the guys here. Life can’t get any better.
I introduce Eevie around. She shakes hands like she means it, holds her own in conversation, and gets the occasional laugh out of guys I didn’t think had a sense of humour. She must’ve been taking note of some of the ins and outs of motocross, having the balls to ask some interesting questions.
Take note, people: funny, intelligent woman with the guts and looks to match. That confidence is heartbreak material. They’re practically drooling over her. It’s almost pathetic. If they thought they had half a chance, they’d be down on their knees in a millisecond begging for a shot.
Boys, it ain’t gonna happen. Every delectable inch of her is mine, including her heart.
Talking with some of the support crew, Jones edges his way into the conversation, standing a little close to Eevie for my liking. He puffs out his chest, and hooks his thumbs through the front loops of his jeans. Blonde hair and a baby face, he’s a pretty boy. A mummy’s boy. From the way he carries on, he probably got everything he ever wanted as a kid, and had all the latest gear. Mum could barely afford to buy my jerseys, and when she did, I wore them until I outgrew them. I had no choice but to make them last. Last round Jones threw a tantrum like a three year old over something stupid. He got what he wanted, though. Disgusting. Not that I give a shit where he’s come from; at least I know I don’t carry on like a fucking twit.
My eyes are on Jones, and he knows it. Damn it, if he doesn’t like pushing my buttons, and having Eevie here he’s gonna do anything he can to push. If he weren’t on my team I’d barely give him the time of day. He’d be half an alright bloke if he wasn’t so self-absorbed.
He acts like he’s engrossed in what Eevie’s talking about, but his eyes travel down her chest, and even lower, as if he’s trying to rip her clothes off purely with the power of his mind. It heats my blood more than it should.
“When you’re ready for a real man, Eevie, come knockin’ on my door,” Jones says. His eyes dart in my direction before resting back on Eevie’s tits. Fucking douchebag.
Eevie frowns, and purses her glossy lips. “Sorry, I don’t understand. If I’m ready for a real man, why would I knock on your door? Wouldn’t I just go home?” She bats those long lashes. That’s my girl.
Everybody erupts into a fit of laughter, me louder than most. Jones shakes his head, and playfully punches me in the arm. “You’re killin’ me, Aidan. You win today, and I hate you for it, and now your woman’s gonna break my heart,” he says, faking a southern American accent. He clutches his chest as if wounded, and winks at Eevie.
I take a long swig of my beer. “Life’s a bitch, Jones.” Now fuck off.

Forever Layla by: Melissa Turner Lee Release day Blitz

Title: Forever Layla
Author: Melissa Turner Lee          
Genre: NA Time Travel RomanceHosted by: Lady Amber's Tours
Book Description: What if the woman you envied most is the person you are destined to become?
In 1994, high school senior David Foster was the lackey and soundboard geek for his best friend's grunge band. During spring break, the band lands a dream gig playing at a motel in Myrtle Beach, SC. David expected all the girls to ogle the guys on stage, but when a beautiful blond "Bond Girl" approaches him and calls him by name, he's shocked to find out she knows more about him than a stranger should.
She even knows about his notebooks and his visions of time travel.
What she thought was a quick time-travel-sightseeing trip takes a surprising turn when she meets the young adult version of the man she'd heard stories about as a child. His fairy-tale romance with the woman he'd loved, Layla, inspired her to accept nothing less than a love just as strong...but hopefully not as tragic. When she won't tell the younger version of him her name, he calls her Layla--and the world as she knows it changes forever.

Overall rating 4.5 Stars

            This is the second book in the series and it doesn’t disappoint. It was filled with suspense, and moments that will make you gasp. I was on the edge of my seat the entire book. I wasn’t able to put in down and read it in one setting. I love this author and this has become one of my favorite series.

            Lilly is kidnapped by her stalker and she thinks Luke is dead. All she wants to do is escape, Strange things happen and she doesn’t know if she is dreaming or is it real life. Lilly has a tough life and this happens. She then discovers some news, I was even shocked. How will she react to this new? Will it make things worse for her or make them better? This series is a MUST READ!! I don’t want to give away.

About Amie Nichols
AmieNicholsI live in Iowa with my amazing, supportive husband. He is my rock and my king, and treats me like all women should be treated. (Like a spoiled Queen.) I have two miniature dachshund's that are my babies, and they love to keep me company when I am writing away on my next WIP. I'm about to publish my 6th book, and can hardly believe how my life has changed. I'm called an author, and still can't believe it. I've have met some amazing women in my journey so far, and have learned so much. (Sometimes the hard way.) I've been like a sponge soaking up all the information I can on how the publishing world works. It's been a roller coaster ride so far with its ups and its downs. No matter what, I will never regret anything I've done. You can't succeed if you don't try, and if you don't try you won't succeed. One of my favorite quotes is, "If the dream is big enough the facts don't matter". Some other info about me: I love my family, friends, wine, and anything caffeinated. I also love writing HEA. For the same reason I won't watch a movie that I know will make me cry, (with the exception of Steel Magnolias) I will never write a book without an HEA. There might be a few twists and turns, a cliffhanger or two, but ultimately my stories will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. For me, reading is entertainment, a way to escape this crazy insane world. If a book leaves me feeling sad, mad or gut wrenched, it is not for me. There is enough gut-wrenching sadness in this world, I don't need to read about it too. I started writing 3 years ago, and have no plans on stopping. So keep your eye on me, because with the help of some amazing people, and my wonderful fans, this girl is going to be on the New York Times best selling list someday.
