Ginger Scott My review:

Well of course I loved this book. Nothing makes me happier than meeting a wonderful author and reading such a fantastic debut. I don’t know how she did it but she DID! Nolan Lennox was like my little hero! The name, come on so cute, after a baseball legend.

Reason for the love #1 is that Nolan was bullied! So for fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County TAKE notice Alexis, Nolan was bullied. Maybe reading the book will bring some awareness to the fact that girls are bitches. Me, well yeah I have been known to be a bitch too. Although I never bullied anyone. She took so much and even when she was down she was able to come back. Girls are evil and when the football star is studying with the unknown, well that makes drama.

Reason for love #2 is her resilient attitude. I don’t know how many times I was yelling Nolan you rock! Her family was the glue that held her together. Her Mom and Dad were hard workers and they instilled values. I am sure my kids could take this as a lesson learned. Nolan starts to questions her upbringing and that shows me what a great story it was! If and when an author makes you yell at the book or character, it means it was GREAT!

Reason #3 Buck! I loved this man! I think him being Reed’s Dad was the best character placement. What is not to love about him? He treated Nolan so good and was the parent that serves as a great example. The way that Buck was with Nolan and her parents proves he is awesome! I have spoilers and I wont ruin anything, but believe me Buck is primo!

Reason #4 Reed. OK So we get a great author and makes you yell at the book. Reed has good and bad. Without Reed and his upbringing, Nolan would not have come across as good. So for the swoon and the devil I loved Reed too.

Reason #5 Learning and discovery! Nolan learns that her track skills are awesome and even when she feels betrayed and cheated on she still runs for the team. She works so hard to get the little things she has and I adored that part too.

Reed Johnson is good and bad. When Nolan made him think about how “real” she was, you could tell he had a change of heart. I know he cared so much about her and that made him stick up for her, love her and accept her. Being a football star was all the Johnson family knows. Reed’s Dad was the first, then his brother, now him. He loved the game and put pressure on himself to achieve greatness.

Waiting on the Sidelines was so good. Seriously a bright spot with so much real life lessons I want everyone to read it. I can’t say spoilers but look out for Nolan and Sean. I felt like I needed both of them to be together even though I know she didn’t care. There is passion for learning, getting good grades, sports and the occasional bad rebellious teen drama.

Falling for You — Available now in digital and paperback!! AMAZON NOOK iTUNES

Waves of Fiction says: ”Falling for You was such a fun book. It captured my attention from the first page and I was on the edge of my seat gripped with panic that everything I hoped for would come crumbling down for one my favorite characters! Thrown in with my panic were laugh out loud moments and some very yummy eyebrow raises that I wish were coming my way.” http://ow.ly/hijiq

5 STARS! “Heather Thurmeier’s voice is distinctively witty, lough-out-loud funny, and sexy. Falling for You is the perfect romance novel for anyone who’s ever found herself addicted to reality TV shows like The Bachelor… 5 stars and highly recommended — Heather Thurmeier’s contemporary romances are an auto-buy for me.”

4 STARS! “Two words describe Heather Thurmeier’s latest book: Fun and Sexy. Cute, fallible and totally relatable, I want to invite Cassidy over for drinks at my house. She is thoroughly entertaining. This book is a quick read and I can’t wait for the remaining books in Heather’s trilogy – she will make a Chick Lit reader out of me yet!”

5 STARS! “Our book club selected this book to read together and I could not put the book down the moment I started reading it. This was a very quick read and you won’t put it down until the end to find out what happens to these characters. Such a great book, I quickly bought and read Love On Landing, and Love And Lattes by the same author. They were all great. Looking forward to her new book release in February!”

Newly single Cassidy Quinn is thrilled to be a contestant on the new reality dating show The One. But her excitement turns to horror when the gorgeous bachelor turns out to be her ex-boyfriend. Seeing Brad again makes Cassidy realize she might not be as “over him” as she thought—and then she meets hunky cameraman Evan Burke.

After watching his brother lose his wife in a tragic accident, Evan vows never to fall in love. But following Cassidy around as her personal cameraman makes him question his decision, and resisting her gets harder with every sunbathing, bikini-wearing day.

Cassidy and Evan begin a forbidden affair while her ex-boyfriend tries to win her heart back one groping, awkward moment at a time. If Cassidy can manage to stop falling off horses (literally), stop falling onto her ex-boyfriend, the bachelor (yes, literally), and stop falling in love with backstage playboy Evan, she might still make it through the show without becoming a tabloid sensation.

But soon Cassidy must choose between the ex who broke her heart and the cameraman who might never love her back. For Cassidy, this reality show just got real.

Stuck on You — Coming February 11, 2013!

Waves of Fiction says: ”Heather Thurmier definitely knows how to write amazing characters. Stuck on You is another hit in my opinion and it is one of the funniest books I have ever read… Filled with awesome humor, sizzling romance, and lots of adventure Stuck on You delivers a fun story. I am quickly becoming addicted to these stories. I have to admit that I do watch a little bit of reality TV and reading about them is even more fun.” http://ow.ly/hiiC0

“If you like reality TV and funny romances, then you will *love* STUCK ON YOU!” – Shoshanna Evers, author of The Enslaved Trilogy, Pocket Books

Paige Anderson agrees to be on a new reality show called Treasure Trekkers,a show where contestants use handheld GPS units to find hidden caches filled with prizes, with her good friend Cassidy. But when Cassidy is unable to compete, Chip Cormack, the show’s producer, steps in with a last-minute replacement to be Paige’s partner—Zoe Oliver, reality TV’s favorite bad girl.

Jack Miles (aka Miles) is a mountain climber with the body to prove it. Miles convinced his climbing partner Ben to come on the show with him for one reason—to prove to Ben that they can still hike together, regardless of the fact that Ben lost his foot in a tragic accident. Miles isn’t about to let anything get in his way of winning—not even beautiful Paige.

But when Miles and Paige are thrown into an alliance with their teammates, working closely together leads to more than just good strategy. Can Paige steal Miles’ heart while surviving Zoe long enough to win the game?

Lost without You — Coming July 1, 2013!

Zoe Oliver never wanted to be on another reality TV show… until Chip Cormack made an offer too good to refuse. He’s guaranteed her a payday this time and a chance to redeem herself in America’s eyes. Zoe worries she won’t be able to focus as her desire for Chip grows and her strength to resist him weakens. When she learns she’ll be roughing it in the woods with Chip and without luxuries like indoor plumbing and electricity, she’s instantly on edge, feeling naked and terrified that her scars will be exposed and her secrets revealed. When Zoe’s past turns up on the show, she fears she’ll lose not only the life she’s sacrificed everything else to have, but also the affections of the only man she’s ever trusted with her heart.
