#WOTR24 #NewRelease #ReleaseDay #Toxic #Rockstar #AgeGap – Verses book 1 of Rocky Mountain Rockstars by Jade C. Jamison

Leave a comment

Kyle and I…we always seemed inevitable.

After getting kicked out of my house at sixteen, my boyfriend Kyle’s family took me in. And the two of us, with his brother at the helm and two other friends, formed Intent to Murder, a hard rock band with dreams of a bright future. We play local bars and gain a small following but never get off the ground.

When one of our band members dies of an overdose, everything changes.

I’ve been ignoring the fact that Kyle and I aren’t yin and yang, meant to complement and fulfill each other; we’re oil and water, destined to never mix. Together, we’re volatile.

So when we finally recruit Wolf, an older man who plays guitar, to replace our deceased friend, the band starts to heal. We become better than before.

Meanwhile, I figure out Kyle’s not right for me.

That doesn’t mean Wolf is, either…but he seems to get me, to understand what makes me tick.

And I find myself dreaming about his chiseled body. Thinking about him all the time. Finding ways to share stolen moments with him.

It doesn’t matter that he’s probably not the right guy, either.

And when we finally kiss, he tells me he’s too old for me. He’s not boyfriend material. He wouldn’t treat me right.

But I don’t believe him.

Maybe I should.

Because I might have to make a choice between the fame I want and the love I think I need…because I probably don’t deserve to have either.

Verses book 1 of Rocky Mountain Rockstars by Jade C. Jamison

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.

I love the rockstar worlds Jade writes.  Her Bullet series is one of my favorites of all time.  When she sent the ARC for this book, the blurb made my heartbeat.  I mean it sounded like a great toxic love story for sure.  Toxic for sure it was….sigh a good old rip your heart out story.  LOL

Hayley and Kyle….man these two.  They were high school sweethearts who grew up, used drugs together, and loved but they loved in a not so great way.  She was kinda terrible and he was just the same.  When the story starts out, we see the toxic relationship from the jump.  The couple seem to be together just because they have always been together and is expected to be together???  Anywho, they are also dealing with the loss of the leader of their band.  They are left with 2 others struggling to figure out what to do.  Hayley starts to chat with the bartender and *Gasp* does he flirt with her???  As time moves on and he joins the band, GASP he is still flirting with the newly SINGLE Hayley.

Wolf/Miles is a good guy.  I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. He says he isn’t a but he sure the crap is as far as I was concerned.  He was everything Hayley needed. She was everything he needed too. The age gap was his “push” away but once they got all the cards on the table, It was GO TIME!!!

I really enjoyed the couple. He stood up for her LOTS of time and let her see she is worth more then she gives herself credit for.  He also helps her see things for what they are and to accept that sometimes it just is what it is.  Hayley showed Miles that not all women are like his past relationships and she is the genuine person he has always claimed her to be.

THEN right when I couldn’t love him anymore, Wolf was an asshat and then Kyle starts to sniff around.  I was like hella no.  I am with my girl Hayle and gonna stay single and heart guarded forever…..and then Wolf is back…and again I am swooning because damn it Miles I love you!!!!

I cannot wait for the next book….best friends sister…oooof Pedro is gonna have some issues!!

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Jade C. Jamison
I’ve been on the planet for a while. I’ve been married for over thirty years and we have four adult kids who make us very proud. Although I’ve worked a lot of different jobs and enjoyed some of them, writing is the one “job” I’ve always loved, even when I don’t. 🙂

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

The first–because you’re figuring out the characters and the universe and all that good stuff!

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

I’ve been struggling with that a lot lately. What I’m doing to keep it fresh is trying to come up with unique plot points and writing slightly different characters.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

1 hour (I still work a full-time job; otherwise, I’d probably write more)

Get a date for the big gala in four weeks when I thought I could go solo? Challenge, accepted.

Now to find a hot, interesting guy who will dress up for a gala. Last minute. Who doesn’t already have plans on the busiest date night of the year.

But, so far the best part of the search for a great date has been the cute café I found and the geeky-hot owner who keeps rescuing me from these crazy eLove.com dates.

This should be easy-peasy. The internet is the home of all your hopes and needs, right?

Spoiler Alert: it isn’t.

Between the bromance date and the crazed single dad who needs to hire a nanny and housekeeper, not get a date, I’m running out of options.

If only a certain cutey didn’t have a phone call with “sweetheart” every day.

The weirder things get, the more I think just going solo is very I Am Woman, blah blah blah. Forget about the fact that my heart keeps bringing me back to a certain café even when I don’t need to be there…I mean, my heart doesn’t always get what it wants, does it?

My Review –

I purchased this audiobook.
I have read a few really heavy and dark books lately. I needed something fun and light hearted. I needed something sweet and fun. I also needed something to spend my audio credit on….hence this book.
Guys, this book was everything I needed. It most definitely took me out of the dark stuff I have been reading into a fun and adorable happy story.
Sarah is in need of a date. Sarah is pushed into online dating due to a “friend” who makes she feel less then because she doesn’t have a boyfriend. The dates are an absolutely horror show to say in the least. She is meeting her dates at a coffee shop when she befriends the shop owner. Slowly they build a friendship when Sarah realizes, Holy crap I love John!
The story was adorable and sweet and I will be grabbing the 2nd one asap. The story was just sweet and funny and everything you need at times.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Second Chance Romance, Mafia Romance, Forbidden Love, Opposites Attract When sexy bad boy Samson opens Club Wicked in Vegas, he thought he left his ghosts and mob ties in New York. But when Lisbeth, his old flame, shows up to celebrate her bachelorette their steamy, uninhibited passion comes flooding back, and they realize their attraction is undeniable. Lisbeth breaks off the engagement, but her powerful, vindictive fiancé threatens to close down Club Wicked, and reveal Samson’s dark secrets and dangerous past. Samson refuses to lose Lisbeth again. He vows to protect her at all costs, but is the price too high? Lisbeth is willing to fight for what she wants since she can’t resist the addictive pull of their love. Will Samson deny his love to keep Lisbeth safe or will he be forced to seek the mob’s help—the very people he longed to escape? “An adrenaline-packed plot and star-crossed lovers you won’t want to put down this one down.” “A thrilling story of love and redemption. You’ll be captivated by Samson and Lisbeth’s epic love story.” Wicked Temptation is Book 2 in the Club Wicked Duet and although it is a standalone with an HEA and can easily be read on its own you may want to begin with Wicked Addiction.

My Review –

I received this book from the authors PR firm for an honest review.
I was super excited when I saw this was a spin off from an MC series. I am always looking for an MC series so now I want to jump back and read that entire catalog especially after meeting the characters in this series. (Serpents MC Las Vegas if you are looking for one too. But I also have my eye on Boa…just saying.)
I am also a HUGE lover of 2nd chance which this book has from jump. Samson and Lisbeth are a bomb of chemistry from the first time we see them together …at her bachelorette party no less. They are both transported in time to when he broke her heart. She has no clue why and he keeps that secret close to the chest until toward the end of the story but que the AWWWW When I read it. Yes, Samson is a swoon worthy Alpha Male who will beat the crap outta a dude, wash off the blood his hands, and then attack your lips in his office 5 minutes later. But that is why we love them. AmIRight???
Samson and Lisbeth have A LOT to get through. History, miscommunication, oh and that pesky douche bag fiancée. That is kinda a big one for Lisbeth. They also have to deal with people trying to destroy all that Samson and his partner Nick have built.
I am loving the series and the characters in it. Jax has me looking at him saying HEEY you. He might be broken on the outside with is scary scars buuuut those are the yummiest of men IMO. Nick. I don’t know about him. His heart is so broken. It is going to take a special lady to open him up. Perhaps Willow???? I mean her free spirit could be that woman. But not Daria please and thanks. #SayNoToSkanks
I am waiting for book 2 and cant wait to see who is the next alpha to fall.

A True Story of Murder, Family Secrets, and the Unbreakable Bond of Sisterhood

After more than a decade, when sisters Nikki, Sami, and Tori Knotek hear the word mom, it claws like an eagle’s talons, triggering memories that have been their secret since childhood. Until now.

For years, behind the closed doors of their farmhouse in Raymond, Washington, their sadistic mother, Shelly, subjected her girls to unimaginable abuse, degradation, torture, and psychic terrors. Through it all, Nikki, Sami, and Tori developed a defiant bond that made them far less vulnerable than Shelly imagined. Even as others were drawn into their mother’s dark and perverse web, the sisters found the strength and courage to escape an escalating nightmare that culminated in multiple murders.

My Review –

I purchased this audiobook.
This book …WOOOF…that is really all I can say. It is A LOT. I mean a lot a lot. There were days when I just couldn’t listen anymore because the story was just so much. Then I would shut it off and almost feel guilty. I could walk away from this horror but Nikki, Sami, and Tori couldn’t. What they girls lived through is unimaginable.
As a reader of true crime, when I saw this book I was very interested. I did a few google searches to see what I was going to be listening to. They did not prepare me for what horrors these kids and the adults around Shelly endured.
I just have to say listening to “The Wallowing” or when Karen was sliding down the icy hill and the after math the kids described I was completely undone. How these girls survive and endured is amazing.
I just want people to know they really need to be ready for this story. I just wish there was more about the investigation but maybe due to who told there want much. The fact that Shelly is out of jail right now is scary as heck!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being relocated to a small-town PD in Colorado was the last thing I needed. Being assigned to babysit the captain’s daughter didn’t help either. She’s quirky, young, and unfortunately, the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Cap only has one rule. Keep my hands to myself. Turns out to be harder than it looks. Now I live in her house, and at night I hear her cries. She’s haunted by her dreams just like I’m haunted by my past. She may be crazy, or she may be the only key to unlocking the dark secrets of this town. The clock is ticking, and the closer we get, the more dangerous it becomes. We both heard the captain’s warning loud and clear……too bad neither of us listened.

Book 1 of the Timber Creek Series. Series will contain interconnected standalones.

My Review-

I received this book from the authors for an honest review.
I met this author after I saw a TikTok of hers about a different series. I am so thankful she has allowed me to read that series and is giving me her new series to read as well.
This is a great series starter with some amazing characters we meet. I admit as much as I LOVED the main H/h in this book, book 2’s couple has me clawing to read their story. I mean I messaged the author to say NOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW. She even agreed with me about their story being a great read to come.
Ok so this series starts with Jace in the shrink’s office not wanting to admit how he is feeling about the death of his partner and best friend. He is reassigned to a small town for 3 months to get his stuff together essentially. He goes to the town and immediately sees Camille. He gets the official “Hands off” by her dad…ya know…his new boss the Captain of the force. Unfortunately, circumstances will force them to be thrown together 24/7 which makes hands off near impossible.
Camille is having a hard time. She knows what people think of her and she is a broken women thanks to her ex-boyfriend, Stuart. She is attracted to the new detective until he talks. Then his mouth makes her remember what a jerk he is. LOL
This story has a LOT of chemistry. The slow burn of Jace and Camille is HAWT. LAWD, when they finally crash and combust, loooook out!!!
The side story of the missing girls is a low theme in the story until its not. Then we are running to figure out who, what, and why of what is happening. I admit I was so wrapped up in the Jace and Cami when I realized what was happening, I was like RUN FASTER!!! Get going!!!!!
But Easton and Ellie….I cannot wait!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vegas is where good people go to sin. Reno is where the bad ones go.

Amidst the drugs, weapons, and trafficking, a murder-for-hire market has emerged. And my motorcycle club is right in the thick of it.

If you can pay, we have a million different ways to solve your problem. You want someone to vanish without a trace? The Great Basin Desert is almost two hundred thousand square miles of “nobody will ever find you.” You want to make a statement? We’ve been known to hang bodies from the Reno Arch.

If you’re paying, we’re killing. No witnesses, no evidence, and no questions asked.

That is until we’re hired to locate and kill a group threatening biological warfare by exposing our city to a deadly virus they stole. It’s the big payday we need. But in order to take the job, we have to also agree to protect the spoiled brat who saw everything.

Small. Frail. Innocent. Frightened. I made her my little birdie, but she always wants to fly away. Too bad for her I’ve clipped her wings and locked her in my cage.

They say free birds sing, and caged birds pray. Her cries sound the same to me.

*Birdie’s Biker is a dark romance in the second run of the Royal Bastards MC. It’s sexy as sin, thrilling, gritty, and dirty. If you love tortured heroes and a heroine who learns her strength in the most depraved way, then you’ll love Birdie’s Biker.

My Review –

I purchased this audio book.
I am a HUGE MC reader. I was needing a new series when I was recommended this one. I admit when I saw Troy was a narration, I jumped. His narration is awesome, and I knew I would love the story. Kelsey was also so great at being Bridget/Birdie. She did a great job showing the naïve girl she was and the Bad Ass she was at the end.
Loki is a bad ass. He is happy with his club girl or hang arounds for company plus a bottle of Tequilla. His life is perfect. No woman is going to lock his down and make him unhappy like he sees his dad.
Bridget/Birdie is a happy, clueless socialite. She likes her life but knows she is missing something but what she doesn’t know. When Bridget is thrust into Loki’s arms for her protection, the two clash off like crazy. However, the more she pushes him, the more he loves her fire and sass.
I absolutely fell in love with the characters in this series but I will not lie, Roch….imma need to read your book ASAP. I am so glad I have more credits to grab that audio as well!!! LOL
The story of why Bridget is with Loki was good. The crazy crash of chemistry these two have is so fun to read. She pushes him and he pushes her, but they just can’t stay away from each other. The way their relationship starts and the fear they both have about this relationship was written well. They are both so unsure and yet sure of the other.
Like I said I cant wait for more from this series!!!

But Elijah and I try anyway, even with all the odds against us.

My Review –

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
If you read Jade, then you know she can write amazing rocker stories. Bullet is by far on of my favorite books. I have got to say this book is like reading bullet all over again. The dynamic, the twists, the betrayals, the drug issues, and the LOVE!!! OMG Friends. This book I devoured. Like couldn’t put down and got mad when I had to do silly things like EAT because I was starving. I made Alexa read to me during that time!!!
Elijah is a famous rocker who, due to his wife’s drug addiction he ends up meeting Madison. When this stranger jumps in and helps in during a really awful time in his wife’s life with the care of his daughter, he hires her to help full-time.
Madison was failing out of school so the change to travel sounded amazing. The pay was anther great benefit to the job. What she didn’t expect was the love to the little girl and her sexy daddy.
The chemistry building between Elijah and Mads was so freaking thick!!! Gah when they finally crash I was screaming YES only to have Elijah be an idiot and I was cussing him. But when his jealousy flairs up and they give it a go, I was so happy.
However, when the day-to-day life on the bus, drama with band mates, and that old monkey on his back comes back, Mads is OVER it!!!
I had tears a few times in the story because we just love Madison. We want her to be happy and if that means alone then so be it!! I was fully invested in the story and characters. I absolutely loved the characters and the emotional ride we were on with Elijah and Mads.

Three weddings. One brand-new baby. And a glimpse into the future beyond.

Follow the guys and their soulmates, seen partially through the eyes of Sam’s mother Hannah.

And, despite her fear of loving and losing…Cupid might get her too.

Appearances from some old favorites as well as some new faces in this epilogue full of happily ever afters!

Goodreads

Review by Twinsie Angie

This book was the best ending of the Bullet series.

This book gives us the final HEA for all the members of the LFS band.  We get to be a part of the weddings for Sam, Brian, and Dane. We get to meet and fall for Sam’s mom, Hannah, who all the guys call mom too.  I think seeing Jet’s persona disappear for Clay to become front and center with was the best.

This book is the perfect catch up for the band mates, their significant others, and the ending for the band.  I loved the babies in the story as well.  We see the guys growing up and growing into dad’s.

This was the perfect ending to a favorite series of mine.

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

I have loved this series since the beginning. Jet/Clay has always been my favorite ever since we were first introduced to him. I enjoyed seeing all these guys go from young unattached young men to finding their person and start their families.  I love that they are still close friends even though they are starting their own lives. We get to know Mom Hannah, Sam’s mom, can I say I fell in lover with her just like the guys did. She is a strong woman that wants to make it on her own with no help.

I was sad to see the Bullet Series end but this ending made my heart happy. We got to see all the band members grow into the adults they are today but they are still able to have fun. All three weddings were so different but fit each couple perfectly.

I am going to miss all the guys of Last Five Seconds especially Clay but I know they are living their best lives.

Leave a comment

Under the Ink

Naomi has been surviving but not living. Even with her best friend’s marriage looming in the distance, she’s managed to maintain a tenuous grip.

The bottle helps with that.

But when she loses her job, she worries that she’ll never get out of the godforsaken town she’s been trapped in her whole life.

Although she finds salvation in a temporary position as Sage’s drum tech for the first part of Shock Treatment’s upcoming tour, she hadn’t counted on Sage being intrigued.

Or becoming mutually attracted.

Besides, it would never work. Because if he were to see the real her, if he were to discover all that’s under the ink covering her flesh, he would never want her.

Fortunately, Naomi excels at pushing people away…

Content Warning: This book deals with sensitive subjects including sexual assault, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse.

Goodreads

Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book for an honest review.

Jade is one of the queens for rocker books IMO.  I love the fact she really knows the “life” of how a rocker lives on tour.  She knows the gritty truth of road life and all its unglorious features.  I think she reads lots of rock autobiographies in her spare time.  She, herself, is a rock chick to the bone so it makes sense why her books are so genuine.

Sage and Naomi are two peas from a different pod.  They both have been through trauma.  Granted I think we all would agree hers was worse none the less, trauma is trauma.  When Sage’s bestie aka toxic buddy dies, he is given a new drum tech.  Enter Naomi.  She just wants to get the hell out of town.  She looks at this as a chance to see the world.  Her travels will help her pick where she will run too when she can.

Sage and Naomi meet and have a polite working relationship.  The more time the spend Sage sees Naomi…. like sees her sees her.  Naomi is enjoying the time she is with Sage but it’s scaring the hell out of her.  No one can love her.  She is too broken.

When work issues causes an problems for Naomi, she starts to spiral backwards.  Sage is the best dude EVAH in that he helps her as much as he can knowing he is losing his heart and the battle for her heart.

I seriously cannot stress how much I love Sage.  He was the best guy and does all he can for Naomi but ultimately, she has to want it for herself.

I loved loved loved Ginny and Walker.  I loved the scene at their wedding for Naomi.  She gets a lot off her chest. The wedding was such a pivotal time for Naomi.    Sage and Naomi kind of reminded me of the battles Ethan/Val had in Bullet expect this time the rolls were reverse in who was the care taker and who was the not so great person in the relationship.

The last chapter…sigh…perfection to a T.

Book Cover

When Brian and Sophie meet, there’s spontaneous combustion.

Too bad they hate each other.

Fashion model Sophia Buckley has despised Brian Zimmer from the first time she heard him speak…and so, without even getting to know him, she plots revenge, executing her plan perfectly. Playing a groupie, she engages Brian in a steamy encounter, only to leave him high and dry.

Brian figures she’s simply the mayor of Crazy Town, vowing to forget the experience and move on.

Except she won’t let him because she keeps turning up in his life.

Despite Brian’s protests, the band’s manager forces Last Five Seconds to engage with this woman because she has an innate talent for stirring up drama. Throw in the paparazzi, and both she and the band get some much-needed publicity.

Forced together, Brian and Sophie find their feelings for one another growing.

But it would never work. They are oil and water, not yin and yang.

So why do they keep ending up in each other’s life? In each other’s bed?

When Sophie cuts Brian to the quick in a very public way, he finds the fuel to walk away for good. But will he really be able to stay away?

Goodreads

Review by Twinsie Melinda

Received a copy of this book for an honest review.

So excited to see Last Five Seconds.  I so missed these guys, really Jet/Clay is still my favorite and loved seeing him. This one is about Brian Zimmer and a model Sophia.  Talk about taking a roller coaster ride with these two.

Sophia was on a mission to teach Brian a lesson. Brian and Sophia did not get along but his manager makes it so she is seen with him to increase the bands publicity.  These two did not get along at all but they keep getting tossed together.  They soon realize that Brian’s manager could be right and any press good or bad could be good for both of their carriers.

Once these two started spending time together the fireworks starting filling the sky.  Man does Brian know how to bring on the heat. I enjoyed this story and love all these guys.  It took me a bit to warm up to Sophia but she really shined by the end. I loved the little teaser at the end now I’m so excited for the next book.

A favorite quote:

Brian knew he’d just scored major points here. Maybe now they could move past their distrust and anger. If nothing else, at least he knew one part of her loved him – and that one part she had little control over. Brian’s job now would be to win her entire heart.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.

Brian!!  I fell in crazy love with you in this series.  When you got married to Kyle in The Vagabond series. I was a little sad because she was not the right person for you.  Don’t get me wrong..we loved her but not with you.  I was a smidge worried about you but was so excited you finally got your HEA.

When I opened the book and read the first chapter I was hooked.  I mean turning hate to love is a tough road and after the way Sophia treated him….I was loving it.  Sorry Brian but I was.  She GOT YOU DUDE!!

Brian and Sophia meet up again and sparks FLY.  Seems they are so compatible they combust at each turn. Even when they want to apologize, they end up fighting. The couple soon realize negative press is good for business.  With the guy’s album sales sluggish and reviews not being so kind plus Sophia realizes that this is great for booking gigs…they continue the ruse.  However, the ruse soon blows up in their faces when there are soon hiding real feelings.

I love Brian like I said before and getting to know more about “him” and why he is the jokester and funny guy made me love him even more.  Sophia is like any struggling model and soon she realizes that maybe she wants more out of life then just being a pretty face.  Law isn’t her passion but what she wants she doesn’t know but she needs Brian by her side to complete her life.

I enjoyed the story plus seeing all the other couples but reading the chapter for the next book had my heart all kinds of excited for what is to come!!!

Book Cover

99 cents till release day!

Do you love rock star romance?
Bad boy rock star gods?
The women who complete them?
Oh, and do you like your stories steamier than a sauna?

Then dig into this box set containing four full-length rock star romance novels and discover why Jade’s readers call her the “Queen of Rockstar Romance.”

Bullet
Valerie is a naïve college freshman when she meets on-the-rise rock star Ethan, an idealistic, handsome, reckless young man who’s captured her heart. She doesn’t give up on him and eventually his walls crumble down. By the time Valerie has given herself to him completely, she discovers he’s damaged and may be beyond help. Can she save Ethan and their relationship before he implodes, or will he self-destruct and take her with him?

Everything But
High school English teacher Erin is stuck with the unwelcome job of filling in for the injured cheerleading coach, but she wants to back out when she discovers she has to be auctioned as a date during the annual spring fundraiser. She’s horrified to find her rock star crush Riley Schultz, former frontman of Spawn, will be playing emcee for the event, but she’s even more shocked that he also happens to be the highest bidder for her affections, and sparks ignite when she discovers that maybe their attraction is mutual…

On the Run
They say things come in threes…like sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Love is not part of that equation—but tell that to my heart.

From the first moment I met CJ Slavin, I fell for him hard. It was as if everything else in my world muted: the album my band was about to release, the coast-to-coast tour we were preparing for, all the adoring fans who were going to eat us up. Even the drama and bullsh*t from my bandmates couldn’t bring me down when CJ was around.

But he tells me I’m too young. And we’re going to be thousands of miles apart. Add to it, his adoring fans will drop to their knees for him.

So what’s a girl to do? At least I still have sex, drugs, and rock & roll…

Love and Lies
Casey never wanted to get divorced—and she definitely didn’t plan to go home again. But she needed a place to lick her wounds, so she headed back to her hometown, the one place on earth she swore she’d never return to. Spending time with her hypercritical mother spurs Casey to find a job quickly so she can get back on her feet—and that’s where she meets sexy Scott Wardell, a man who makes her heart beat faster even while stirring her anger.

As she gets to know Scott better, she discovers that he plays drums for a local rock band. He seems perfect for her…except maybe he hasn’t told her everything about the ex. And his creepy best friend isn’t doing him any favors, either. But even if Casey could handle those problems, she’s got her own ex and cold feet she needs to grapple with…

This box set also includes two bonus novellas: NO PLACE LIKE HOME from the Bullet series and BEATING HEARTS from the Vagabonds series.

No Place Like Home
Brad of metal band Fully Automatic has recently lost his mother to cancer and he finds himself unable to enjoy life anymore. With the help of his wife Val and his children, can he find his former zeal for living or is he destined to be numb and detached for the remainder of his days?

Beating Hearts
Brandon, an inexperienced young drummer for Kyle Summers’ band, is about to play his first festival, but first he needs to find out who’s stalking him. When he does, things just might get too hot to handle…

“This author does it right. She doesn’t just throw the rockstar title around. Nope, she gives her readers what they crave. You can go in knowing you’re gonna get the whole experience.” – Rosa, iScream Books, review for ON THE RUN

Are you READY? Which rock star god will you fall hardest for?

#WOTR21 #NewRelease – Love and Romance, Small Town Secrets Book 6 by Jade Jamison

Love and Romance (Small Town Secrets #6)

Every woman should have a best friend…with benefits.

Elizabeth is a college professor by day, steamy romance writer by night. There’s just one problem: she has a hell of a time penning her steamiest scenes without a little help from Ridley, a guy she calls her “pretend boyfriend.” When her imagination falters, Ridley gives her plenty to fuel her imagination. But when she catches him playing around on her, she boots him to the curb.

And then she can’t write at all.

Enter her colleague and good friend Roman. While indulging herself in a liquor-fueled pity party she confesses her secret to Roman—and he volunteers to play the part of Ridley while she figures things out.

She doesn’t dare…does she? Won’t that make things at work awkward as hell? But her writing is languishing, suffering a slow, agonizing death.

Will she take Roman up on his offer or keep a safe distance and go it alone?

Curl up by the fire with a glass of wine or a mug of hot chocolate and settle into Winchester, Colorado—where the nights are cold…but steamy!

Portions of this novel were previously published in 2014 as the book Substitute Boyfriend.

Review by Twinsie Angie

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Ok so if you are a regular person to my reviews, you know I loooove Jade right??!! Well I totally do. I was super lucky to meet this woman and when she asked me to beta read this, I might have squee’d and lost my “cool” a bit….LOL but wouldn’t you have????? HELLO she is a FAVORITE author of mine!!!!

This book is a funny, hawt and quick book. I picked it up and read it in a couple of hours. This book is about Beth. She is a part time professor who is also a published erotica author….hrmmm, sounds like Jade???? Anyway, Beth keeps her little erotica author secret until she meets Ridley. He then becomes her “inspiration” for her sex scenes. Ridley is the perfect alpha bad boy covered in tats that Beth loves. Problem is, Ridley doesn’t really like being on “call” plus he is kiiiinda a DB. …well he is……..Beth is trying to make a relationship outta this booty call but soon realizes he is NOT a relationship guy….growl…you will understand why I called him a DB when you read the book…….SMH…………..

A drunken night Beth calls her bestie, co-professor at the college and during a drunken mistake tells him all her secrets…even Ridley and the erotica author part. So Roman does what any friend does, he offers to be her new booty call. He offers to be her substitute boyfriend since Ridley was her pretend boyfriend…….Well friends lemme tell ya…Roman has a few secrets of his own and Beth gets really confused. Roman is her BEST FRIEND but, but, but…………..Well Beth gets freaked out and then Ridley comes running back when he realizes his booty call is gone……What is a girl to do????

All I gotta say is I will never look at Rum the same way…….ANND that Jade, as to be expected, makes ever sexy scene amazing and hot!!

I received this book by the Author for an honest review.

Beth aka Lizzie is an English professor who is a published author of erotic romance novels. Only one problem she needs to act out the sex scenes to make sure they are doable and believable. She finds a pretend boyfriend in the HOT bad boy Ridley who is available to her at a moment’s notice to ‘act out’ these scenes. Until the one night he turns her down to be with someone else.

Beth calls on her best friend and colleague Roman to talk and have a few drinks. She spills the beans about her being a published author and what Ridley was helping her with. So Roman being the great guy he is offered to be the substitute boyfriend. Can I say I will never think of coconut rum the same and he has a way of making sex anywhere HOT even a men’s bathroom.

This was a great short story. I so wish it was longer. I wanted to know more about Ridley and find out more about Beth’s family. Maybe even a few more steamy scenes too, although this was filled with them. I loved that you could feel the conflict between Beth when confronted with who she wanted Ridley or Roman. Oh you want to know if she picked the Hot bad boy, Ridley, or the substitute boyfriend, Roman, hahah guess you’ll have to pick up your copy and find out. You will not be disappointed. For a short story it is packed with goodness.

It was an honor to beta read this for Jade Jamison and I was so excited when she asked if I would. Thank you for allowing me the honor of Beta reading for you.

Savage

This is an alternate cover edition for B00VF8CLC6.

Kill or Die

Nina Hardwick has had a rough life since leaving high school, but inside she is still the girl looking for a silver lining. The past several years have left their toll on her psyche, and just as she feels like she’s climbing out of a deep abyss, her life and the lives of millions of others fall into shambles as a virus overtakes the country and leaves a plague of undead armies scouring the land.

In a desperate attempt to get away from the infected, Nina and some neighbors speed out of town, nearly killing a man on a motorcycle. When they stop to rescue him, Nina realizes that he is the one man from her past she never got over, the guy who should have been her high school sweetheart until she messed it up. But this unrequited love, Kevin Savage, says he doesn’t even remember her. Or does he?

Nina, Kevin, and her neighbors head to the wilderness and fight to survive not only the plague but also hunger, cold, their inner demons…and even each other. Will they survive and, more importantly, will her heart?

I received this book from the author for an honest review.OMG! I. AM. BLOWN. AWAY by this book.

I am a big Jade fan but this book is soooo different from anything I have read of hers. I have pretty much read all the books in her library but like 4 so to say I know her writing style wouldn’t be a lie. The anxiety and tension of this book totally sneaks up on you and then BOOM you are a stressed out MESS!! This book is VERY slow but it’s very purposeful in its pace. We, the reader, are in Nina’s mind. We ARE Nina. We get to see her reasons for why she does things and why she feels the way she does. She is a very broken woman because life hasn’t always been easy and she kinda has some “what if’s” playing in her head…..alll those what ifs are about our yummy Mr. Savage……..

Nina and her neighbors end up almost running over Nina’s biggest life regret, Kevin, when trying to get to help Nina’s elderly aunt. The story is the 4 of them making due in a survival situation during the worst possible time to be in the Colorado Mountains. Yes they are homebound essentially and dealing with a few “biters” but the story is not really about the virus but the people. The story is about what people will and won’t do to survive. How people can change to go with the new world or how they break and go a little insane with the new world. I totally think that the characters in this book are actual representations of what can happen if this situation were to arise. The best of couples can fall apart and strangers can become your ally and trusted companion.

Now to all of you “I am not gonna read it because it has zombies in it”…get over it. Zombies are a minimal part of the story. PEOPLE and SURVIVAL are the point of this story. I can tell you I was messaging Jade completely freaking out at parts and then bawling at parts of the story. This book was a book I was eagerly waiting to read. I will not deny it but to say it wasn’t at all what I thought it would be isn’t a lie. I expected a different kind of a book…more action and fighting but what I got was an amazing look into the souls of people. The heart of what makes us a society of good or not good people. I feel that this book is showcasing a whole new level for Jade’s writing abilities. She can write some hot and naughty rockers we all have no doubt but this book and its main character, Nina, is just so deep and inspiring. It really knocked my socks off…..

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” While you’re more likely to see Jade headbanging instead of Dirty Dancing, she—like Baby—won’t be put in a corner…or a box. So even though you can’t really stick her books in one genre, you could say she mostly writes steamy Contemporary Romance—and, while you’re at it, you’ll notice in her stories that Jade freaking loves Colorado, hard music, coffee, bad words, and CHOCOLATE!!! And so do her characters.

Oh, and there’s always a glimmer of hope…because if life doesn’t have that, what’s the damn point?
