When it all comes crashing down...

Someone has to pick up the pieces...

Sometimes everything you have to give just isn't enough...

Chasing Me by Jennifer Probst

March 3, 2015
New Adult Contemporary Romance
One of the “Sex on the Beach” Novellas




BOOK SUMMARY:

Quinn and James' Story Continues in Chasing Me...
It was supposed to be a love story....

I knew she was out of my league but I didn’t care. Looking back, I wonder if I hadn’t pursued her, would things have turned out differently? Is it Fate that determines our choices in life? God? Free will? Or just plain old innate selfishness?
I got her, of course. There hadn’t been a girl I wasn’t able to seduce. Problem was she seduced me right back, body, mind, and soul. She possessed me, tormented me, and showed me a world that was so bright and pure I was almost blinded.
 Didn’t she know after such a drug I could never settle for less? Didn’t she realize no matter how many times I screwed up, or broke her heart, or bent her to my will, I’d never be able to let her go?
 If I hadn’t known such intensity existed, would it have been better for both of us?
True love, the real kind, isn’t nice and sweet and pure. No, it’s dirty, and sinful, and messy. It’s like ripping a chunk of flesh from your body and watching yourself bleed out in slow, helpless intervals until you thankfully pass out.

This isn’t a love story. But it’s the only story I got.

Finding You by Jenna Bennett


March 3, 2015
New Adult Contemporary Romance
One of the “Sex on the Beach” Novellas


BOOK SUMMARY:

Sex on the Beach, the do-over.
I had a simple plan for what to do in Key West the second time around.

Testify at the trial of the rapist I helped catch last year.
Make sure he gets locked away for the rest of his natural life, so he can never, ever hurt another girl.
Wait for my BFFs to get to town, so we can celebrate.
And stay far away from Ty Connor, because three months after breaking up with him, I still don’t know whether being with him is worse than being without him.
Spring Break, take two.
All of the above? Out the window.
Turns out testifying is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
 Not only is the rapist I helped catch last year not locked away for the rest of his life, he’s on the loose and looking for me.
 Oh yeah, and it’s definitely harder being without Ty than being with him, especially when I have to watch him with someone else.
Welcome to my world.

CHASING ME by Jennifer Probst

1. Pick one of your characters and tell me something about them that we don't learn from the book.

My hero, James. He likes to tell himself being rich solved all of his problems, but deep down, he's been one of the loneliest heroes I've ever written.



2. How do you get enough story in a novella length story?

Carefully! It's an art trying to get the reader all the important information and the dynamics of the relationship in a tight space. But I love novellas and the shorter versions of story!



3. What's your favorite trope to write or read?



Marriage of convenience!!!


LOSING US by Jen McLaughlin

Thank you so much for having me here today to talk about my latest release, LOSING US. It’s my second book in the Sex on the Beach series, and it revolves around Austin, a bartender slash rock star, and Mackenzie, America’s (Country) Sweetheart, just like the first book, BETWEEN US.

1. Pick one of your characters and tell me something about them that we don't learn from the book.

--Mackenzie used to be scares of the dark. It’s why she’s so nervous when the lights go out in LOSING US, but she tries to keep her cool. It’s also why she lights tons of candles, which Austin notices in his POV in the book.

2. How do you get enough story in a novella length story?

--It’s all about condensing! You have to keep the heart of the book—the struggle and love—close to the core, and make sure you don’t branch away from it. You have to keep concise and to the point—no wondering thoughts. Beyond that, you’re good to go!

3. What's your favorite trope to write or read?

--Best friends little sister. I love, love, love it! Especially when the protective older brother finds out. ;)

Thanks again for having me here!

  7. I'm becoming a big fan of these series with different authors per book. You're more likely to get those distinctive ways of talking/thinking when different people write, so it makes the characters more realistic. Love :)
