Billie Joe wasn’t all bad. That was part of the problem. All I had to do was hear his voice, feel the velvet softness of his lips…those strong arms wrapping around me…he became mine and no one else’s. We don’t have a relationship; we have an addiction to each other. I have to find the strength to break his spell, somehow…some way. Or, stay trapped in his web for the rest of my life.

The rain surrounds me in the form of a mist as I realize that I am standing in the driveway again, lost in dreams. Pulling the collar of my jacket around my neck to stop the chill, I walk to the back of the Cadillac again, just to check. We might be in the middle of nowhere in this valley but meth has made crime an epidemic. It gnaw at the fringes of our people. No one would steal the Cadillac out of respect for dad, but I’d had to threaten to shot a couple of boys trying to steal the tires and rims a few months ago. They were buzzed outta their minds. It’s a wonder they didn’t shot me, but they were just looking for something quick to steal and sell. One shot in the air and they ran like mice. They will steal an antique mandolin in a heartbeat. They ain’t getting Blue Belle. I probably would shot someone in order to save her.

Knowing the trunk is securely locked, I walk toward the front door of the little house. Before entering, I wipe my boots on the mat on the porch and shake my long, blonde hair to remove the moisture. Giving up, I finally wrap my hair into a makeshift ponytail and open the door. A wave of warmth and the smell of cinnamon greet me unexpectedly.
“Good afternoon, welcome. I am Ernesto Lorenze,” a friendly male voice says from the corner of the dark room. I look around to see a tall, dark haired guy pull himself upright from a chair seated behind an antique desk. 

Actually, his legs are so long it is as if he is unraveling himself from the desk and chair. That’s a long drink of water crosses my mind before I even have time to think. I feel a blush creep across my cheeks as I access his credentials, so to speak. He is young looking but possibly in his mid-30s. He is wearing some type of black top hat, dark shirt, and jeans. You have to wonder why he would want to cover those silky dark curls, which almost touch his shoulders. His eyes are a luscious black/brown too, with just enough spark when he smiles, which lets you know that he is fun and charming. Bet he smiles like that all the time, not just when he wants to take money from you for a card reading, but anytime. Anywhere. The dimples help with that assessment, too. The fortune teller is a gorgeous guy. How great is that? I feel excited about something for the first time in a long time. Surely THAT alone is an omen, but we shall see what we shall see.

The spell is momentarily broken when he sits down on the desk in front of me, crosses his arms, and furrows his dark brows. Is something wrong?

“An hour reading is 100 dollars. Half an hour only 50 dollars. What would you like today?” He looks at me and winks. Is he flirting with me? How unexpected. Why have I left the house with no make-up on?

Looking him in the eyes makes me wonder…What would I like today?

Police officer Jenna O’Connor, one word WOW She is just too awesome. After having issues growing up keeping quiet she now gets her dream job on the SWAT team. Then she meets Adam. So Adam …hhmm…is just oozing alpha male, take charge, sex appeal. It is the authors explanations and the mannerisms given to Adam that appeal to me. I love a strong character that is strong without trying too hard. Sometimes it seems he is better at being a protector than anything else. Determined to break free and live her own life is the Jenna appeal for me. I liked that she was finally coming out of her shell so to speak. Particularly the way she was raised was something new to me. She is just a character I find hard to completely explain, but I loved her! 

When the book takes the biggest turn showing a group of violent shifters is when it become a real page turner. I read fast and if I am kept awake it is a good book.

What I loved was: The way the characters are written, their dialogues and the action. There is a descriptive way the authors write that I want to say even when serious made me smile a few times.

Lastly, the style of romance added with the action made it a must read series! I so want to gobble up the next book! This one was a real honest full length book that is hard to put down. The build up was timed perfectly! The author added just the right amount of angst for me.

Title: Cassie’s Choice

Series: – League of Love, book 7

Author: Donna Gallagher

Publication Date: 24^th January 2014

Published by: Totally Bound Publishing

Genre: Contemporary Erotic

Book Synopsis:

One night of regret and a simple lack of communication lead to two miserable years apart. What will happen when the two broken-hearted are forced to reunite?

One night has haunted Cassie for over two years. After agreeing to something she didn’t feel sure about, all for the sake of a man—or more correctly, her fear of losing him, she is still consumed with thoughts of her past.

Although a few years younger than her Riley Walters was all man, in and out of the bedroom. So much so that Cassie believed he would tire of her sexual inexperience quickly. For him she was just a bit of fun—he never said anything to her to make her doubt that assumption. The reason she put herself in such an uncomfortable situation in the first place – to keep him happy. Of course it didn’t help. Riley disappeared from her life and never had anything to do with her again. Now he’s back, part of her social circle, leaving Cassie to find a way to deal with the attraction she still feels for him even after two years of trying to convince herself otherwise.

Riley was horrified at how much rage he felt that night. Memories of a trauma from childhood quickly surfaced – He was terrified that he was becoming a monster, just like the man from his memory. Cassandra Davies filled his mind, his every thought, his obsession. Now he’s been offered a position at the Jets Rugby League Club, and an opportunity to work alongside the people he called family, which is something he’d always dreamed of—but how will he survive being around Cassie if he can’t drag her into his arms and back to his bed and never let her leave.

Author Bio:

Sydney-born Donna Gallagher decided at an early age that life needed be tackled head on. Leaving home at fifteen, she supported herself through her teen years. In her twenties she married a professional sportsman, her love of sport—especially rugby league—probably overriding her good sense. 

The seven—year marriage was an adventure. There were the emotional ups and downs of having a husband with a public profile in a sometimes glamorous but always high—pressure field. There were always interesting characters to meet and observe, and even the opportunity to live for a time in the UK. 

Eventually Donna returned home a single woman, but she never lost her passion for watching sport, as well as the people in and around it. 

Now happily re-married and with three sons, Donna loves coffee mornings with her female friends, sorting through problems from the personal to the international. But she’s on even footing with the keenest man when it comes to watching and talking rugby league. 

Donna considers herself something of a black sheep in a family of high achievers. Her brother has a doctorate in mathematics and her sister is a well—known Australian sports journalist.

An avid reader, especially of romance, Donna finally found she couldn’t stop the characters residing in her imagination from spilling onto paper. Naturally, rugby league is the backdrop to her spicy tales of hunky heroes and spunky heroines overcoming adversity to eventually find true love.

What would it be like to live in a world where you were considered abnormal even to those who were above the norm?

Jenna O’ Conner had been taught her whole life to hide from everyone, to never let anyone close enough to know that she would prefer a shotgun for her birthday over a bouquet of roses. She’d been smothered by her overly protective family so that no one would learn what she truly was. She was not human, nor, was she considered the norm for the supernatural Other community that was benevolent enough to share this world with the humans.

In a desperate attempt to live her own life away from the small town that she had been raised in, Jenna obtained her dream job as the newest member of the Wilmington Police Department’s SWAT Team. What she hadn’t predicted was that she would run into trouble her first day on the job in the form of a deadly, mouthwatering man named Adam McPhee. Adam was also not human, but more like a wolf walking around in human skin. He was determined to figure out exactly what Jenna was, which unbeknownst to him, could very well put her life in danger. Furthermore, he was determined to have her all to himself.

As if that wasn’t enough for Jenna to deal with, bad news came into town. This group of extremist Shifters thought that humans were cattle and that factions of Others worldwide should stay within their own species—never to intermingle. Chaos ensued. Jenna had to find a way to shut them down, but in the process of trying to do that, discovered things about herself that even she had never thought were possible.

Who said the wolf was what you had to worry about?
Welcome to the real world.

This is a pretty good contemporary woman’s fiction. Amelia was approaching 60 and suddenly a widow. She has a road ahead of her that it seems she is not ready for. She had a husband who did everything for her. Making reference to numerology, the title is fitting. It is a somewhat emotional story that encompasses love, marriage, life, and loss. I understood the character and how she had to push herself to accept the loss of Nathan and grow. I got the impression that she needed to grow as a single person, as a widow, and that was the hard part for her. I think she had issues with her daughter, thus effecting her emotional state.

It was a book that will appeal to the over 30 crowd. A lot of wisdom in the pages.

Though my first book, Borrowing My Mother’s Saints, was a comedy set in New York, I think both books describe a similar spiritual journey. The struggles of all of my characters are very important to me, and I love to hear from my readers about my books.

 

In my everyday life, I am married, and my husband and I
are raising two sons. We currently divide our lives between San Diego, California, and Mexico.

As a fan of K.A. Linde, sometimes it is hard to be objective. Sometimes you know when characters such as Lexi, Jack, and Ramsey illicit such strong opinions, the author is that good. Sometimes when people are throwing kindles, ipads, and books at the wall, the author is that good. NO SPOILERS

Well I am just beside myself! I feel so sad this series is over. Seeing the characters grow over the last few years was a remarkable experience. I feel like the author did a great service to the fans by actually giving it an ending. I cant believe Lexi is 27. Where did the years go? Bekah was the one character who did NOT have any growth. She was a b****from page one to the END. In all the ups and downs we shared I honestly say that I love Jack and Ramsey. I was a double dipper then and now.

Lastly was Chyna. All I can say about her is she totally rocks the best friend role. There was one part in particular that will stick with me when Lexi asks her what to do. Well Chyna tells her straight, like always, that she knows what she should do and basically the answers are within. Lexi of course tries to cheat and Chyna tells her she needs to figure it out and she wont tell her what do do, whom to choose, who to leave and who stays. Love my girl KA Linde and the books was a phenom!

K.A. Linde is the bestselling independent author of the Avoiding series and Following Me.  As a military brat, she traveled the world with her family, imaginary friends, and ever-increasing supply of books.  She has spent much of her life dreaming up new worlds and characters and forcing them into awkward, usually life-threatening scenarios.  After graduating from the University of Georgia with a masters degree in political science, she began spending every waking hour putting those characters onto paper.  When not writing, she spends her time dancing, collecting paperbacks in the hopes of filling a Beauty and the Beast style library one day, traveling to visit her friends who now live all over the country, bargain shopping, playing with her puppies, and still reading anything she can get her hands on.  She currently resides in Georgia with her boyfriend and two puppies, Lucy and Riker, where she is hard at work on her next novel.

She is currently working on a three book Record series coming out in 2014 by Montlake Romance and the final book in the Avoiding Series, Avoiding Temptation.
