Get ready people...

Have you read Consequences? 

If not- get on it.  This book was dark, crazy, and amazing with a great big sucker punch right at the end.  

Lucky, you won't have to wait (like I did) to read 

Truth

I loved this one even more than Consequences (and that is saying something).    

Now we are getting ever closer to the release of the 3rd in the series

Convicted

Seriously people- go read the first 2 if you haven't already.  I'm not going to lie, there is some pretty crazy stuff and you will likely experience a lot of uncomfortable feelings, confusion, and the like.  But if you want a series that will make you think, and make you feel (and feel you will...a whole variety of emotions)- then this is a series to read.  I'm a believer that any book that can get me experiencing strong emotions is a good one.  Even if the emotions are challenging.    

Teasers for the 3rd book will start arriving October 4th and then the big release will be coming October 8th.  This gives everyone plenty of time to read the first 2.  Primarily because after you reach a certain point in the story, you won't be able to stop reading.

When a drunk driver tragically orphans Skylar Rose at the age of sixteen, she leaves her dreams behind and takes on the daunting task of helping her elderly grandmother raise her young sister.

Always putting her sister’s needs and school first, Skylar has never had time to date or develop relationships. Now a senior in college, she has her sights set on an amazing internship opportunity. The last thing she needed was for a sexy distraction like Sebastian Thorne to walk into her life. 

Sebastian Thorne had been an entitled and reckless nineteen year old when he got behind the wheel of his new sports car that night. When his night of indulgence goes tragically wrong, Sebastian hesitantly turns to the one person, he knows can make everything go away…the one person he hates ..his father.

Now twenty-six, Sebastian is the young enigmatic and powerful CEO of his late father’s design company, Thorne Enterprises.

Still plagued with nightmares from the night of that horrific accident and having to leave the beautiful girl behind, Sebastian vows to find the one that haunts his dreams. Sometimes the choice of revisiting our past opens the door to a future that we never thought possible.

Trust in Me by J. Lynn- Review

Trust in Me by J. Lynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Trust in Me should be picked up and read by anyone who enjoyed Wait for You. Here we get the same time frame, and story, but from Cam's perspective. After reading Wait for You, I was more than happy to spend some additional time with these characters. Cameron Hamilton is a great character, and getting to experience everything from his perspective just made me love him more. It was also interesting to experience getting to know Avery without having access to her thoughts and experiences like we did in Wait for You.

This book doesn't stand alone- you need to read Wait for You first. It is a wonderful companion though, and it really got me excited for the next book in the series!

Skipping Stones by JB McGee

Barnes & Noble * Kobo * Smashwords

Blurb:

They say there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

Not everyone will grieve in this order, nor will everyone go through every stage. It’s during the stage of denial when Alex Hart meets Andrew Foster. He takes her one-step closer to acceptance: the stage when new, meaningful relationships are formed. The stage when the realization occurs that this is now the new state of normal.

Just when Alex thinks she is on her way to healing, she enters the bargaining phase. That’s the phase where you wonder what you could have done differently. You wonder “what if?” Specifically, what if the ones you loved hadn’t left you?

Leaving…this is what makes heading off to war so difficult and frightening for Alex. She knows all too well what it’s like to be the one on the losing end of life, which is why she’s made it her personal mission in life to save as many lives as possible. The extreme high she gets from treating trauma victims turns into Alex’s own form of therapy, or so she thinks.

When faced with her world being turned upside down, Alex may just find that her true therapy is in the one who has always saved her.
