Excerpt Reveal &Pre Order Links for Ink & Lies by S.L. Jennings

Prologue

You know that pivotal moment in every love story, when the hero or heroine makes an imperative move that leaves the other with a life-altering choice? Whether it be a pronouncement of love (I’ve been in love with you my entire life, and I don’t care that you’re my stepbrother) or a salacious secret (I’m pregnant and the baby isn’t yours) or a shocking decision (I’ve decided to embrace what I am… I’m transitioning into a unicorn, and I’m pregnant by my stepbrother), we can always count on this familiar occurrence.

I’ve always deemed them cliché yet necessary in the romance genre. A good plot twist is as vital to a story as its characters. Without it, the hero and heroine would have no reason to change, to evolve. They’d have no reason to step out on faith and madness and take hold of their destiny. Take hold of their story.

I once lived for the perfect plot twist.

I just never expected to actually live it.

I look down at my boarding pass for the eightieth time in the last fifteen minutes. Gate 3B, Seat 2A. GEG to LAX. Final boarding in…now.

Sixteen hours ago, I succumbed to the insanity of feeling, and made my crucial confession. I began that almighty trek up a story’s climactic mountain. And every hour, every minute, since, I’ve waited for her to make her choice.

To make me her choice.

The attendant glares at me from over her intercom receiver and announces that the gate for flight D5611 will be closing in sixty seconds. She’s saying it for only me, because I’m the only one here. Waiting. Crumbling.

I take one last look down the corridor that leads to security. I just knew that she’d show up, racing through the airport, screaming for someone to stop the plane. That was how I’d imagined my story…our story. The greatest cliché of all, and I still couldn’t breathe it into fruition. I still couldn’t get her to read between the lines scrawled on my heart.

I guess the most epic romances are still tucked away within the pages of her favorite novels, safely swathed in inked lies and faded paper promises. Forever fictional. Just like love.

From International Best Selling Romance Novelist, Hope Hughes, comes a gripping, heartfelt tale of two lovers, fighting for the freedom to…

No. Scratch that. Too cheesy.

…two people, torn apart by the tumultuous tides of life, only to discover refuge in…

WTF? What does that even mean? DELETE.

…two people, confused as shit as to where they should be and who they should love and none of this means a damn thing because it’s all lies!

Lies.

I’m not Hope Hughes. I’m not some fierce woman romance machine. Hell, I’m not even a woman.

I’m a liar.

And while I refuse to believe my own BS, deceit masked in heartfelt phrases of love and devotion, I want to make her believe them. Because maybe—just maybe—if she can find the soul within my words, she’ll also be able to find the truth scribbled on my heart.

You see, I once lived for the perfect plot twist.

I just never expected to actually live it.

This is my story. Well, maybe her story. I just wish I could make it our story.

The one I’m still writing.

Distraction: The great intensity, novelty, or attractiveness of something other than the object of attention.

Sven is a man who takes pride in his ability to separate himself from his emotions. He's a man who knows who he is and where he’s going in life, a man who needs no one, because needing someone, anyone, is a weakness.

His past taught him love isn’t enough.  

Maggie wants the happily ever after, but has never picked the right men, or stuck around long enough, to build a forever. It’s always been easier to get out early, before emotions make things messy.

 

When Maggie wakes up naked in Sven’s bed, with no memory of the night before, these two must be honest about their feelings and face their fears, so they can build a future together.

Will love be enough for them to get their happy ending together, or will a threat from outside strike them down before they ever have a chance?

Dangerous Ties by J.L. Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, where do I start. This book blew me away, it was not at all what I was expecting to read. To say I devoured this book would be the only way I can describe how I read it. From page one I was obsessed. I read this book rather quickly and in one setting and the only negative if you want to call it that is that I wish it was longer, much, much longer because I absolutely loved the originality of the storyline and the way in which the characters were portrayed. This book was a true breath of fresh air, it was just what I needed to get me out of a long book slump. This book is dark, and I’m usually not a fan of the darker stuff but this is dark done right. I’m not going to give away any big chunks of the storyline, I’d rather you read it and discover everything on your own, because that’s how I like to get into a book, with a blank slate. The only thing I will say about the storyline is that Grayson and Ellie are both living a tragedy which has greatly shaped who they individually are. Death and pain is something that surrounds them both. I really enjoyed how the connection between Grayson and Ellie was portrayed, an ill fated love that you just have to root for. One of my favorite things that Grayson said was” I want you. Even if I shouldn’t, even if it’s against all the rules, even if we both die tonight this is what I want”. The book ended on a huge gut wrenching cliffy and I’m dying to know how the story will continue. I can’t wait for the next installment and I hope we get it within a reasonable amount of time. 5 easy stars to JL Beck.

I was born a fighter. Abandoned by my parents, I spent my life forging my own path—one guided by my fists and paved with pain.

Untouchable in the ring, I destroyed everyone who faced me, but that’s where my victories ended. Outside the ropes, I repeatedly failed the few people who loved me. Including my best friend, Liv James—the one person I’d die to protect.

Even though I didn’t deserve her, Liv never stopped believing in me. Never gave up. Never let go. After all, she understood what I’d lost, because she’d lost it too.

Liv was everything to me, but she was never truly mine.

That was going to change.

I lost my first love, but I refused to lose my soulmate.

Now, I’m on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.

Fighting to be the man she deserves.

Fighting the solitude of our pasts.

Fighting for her.

Fake it till you make it.

 

That’s Lexi Hall, the wild socialite’s motto for how to live life.

 

Single and allergic to commitment, Lexi is having the time of her life.  Or is she? With a new promotion at the art gallery, and her colorful lifestyle as bright as ever, she swears she has no interest in slowing down. When Lexi receives a phone call that can change her career, she pounces on the opportunity. But what this outgoing diva doesn’t plan for is her new client, the closed off, secluded artist, Hunter James. Fighting to draw the line between work and pleasure, it’s up to Lexi to figure out how to balance her fake life for something real.

 

Hunter James is an artist without a muse. Lacking the beauty in his life that he craves, his art is beginning to suffer.  Unfortunately for the mysterious artist, a past mistake also tarnishes his trust in women. Forced to take a meeting with an art gallery dealer, he accepts knowing he’ll turn her down. He turns them all down.  But what he doesn’t anticipate is for the seductive bombshell to turn his world upside down.  As his body and mind come alive, he vows to stop at nothing to have her on his canvas and in his bed.

 

As Lexi’s life begins to brighten with the promise of something beautiful, can she stop faking it and find a reason to make it real? Or will Hunter’s past replace their light with darkness?

The clacking of my stilettos on the shiny marble of his penthouse floor is the only sound that can be heard between us. As I hit the button for the elevator, I feel Hunter behind me. His body heat is setting my back ablaze as he pins me with his dominant frame.  I expect him to say something. Do something. But he doesn’t. His solid chest pressed against my back, his heavy breaths hitting the outside of my earlobe. 

 

“Please,” he finally whispers, almost like a plea.  “Please say yes to me, Lexi.” His words sending a spiral of heat down my spine. He’s barely touched me, yet I feel as if I’m going to combust. “Let me paint every contour of your exquisite body. Every curve, every dimple.” His mouth is so close to my skin that I imagine his lips on me. His warm breath caresses the back of my neck, traveling down to my collarbone. “Tell me you don’t feel just a little bit intrigued at how freeing it would be to sit for me. To expose yourself to me while I take in every part of your body and transform it into my own private masterpiece.” 

 

I exhale audibly, my shoulders beginning to weaken. His arms lift, enclosing on each side of my now pulsating body. His strong hands press against the wall forming a barricade around me. “Tell me that you don’t agree that your body is a paradise for any man’s eyes. I need that. I need to be able to capture that beauty and paint a vision that leaves me struggling for air every time I look at it.  That is what you will give me if you say yes.”

Just One Moment by Stacey Lynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


3.5 Stars to Stacey Lynn’s Just One Moment.

This is a story of pain, suffering, forgiveness, and ultimately love. The journey the main characters go on in this story is intense. Both Sarah and Lynx carry heavy weights on their shoulders, both clearly suffer from PTSD but try to keep it under wraps. Their relationship begins as a one-night stand because both are afraid to let anyone too close because they are under the belief that they will only bring pain to others. It takes sometime but the reader will find out the root of their issues.

I loved Lynx’s character, he was so steadfast against falling for anyone and yet when he meets Sarah even though he is scared he can’t keep himself away and he makes it his mission to make her fall for him.

I have mixed feelings about Sarah. She messed up big time when she was younger and it really impacted her life leaving lasting effects on her. I think that she didn’t have enough punishment for her actions and others were able to forgive her too easily but yet at the same time I think now that it is years later she beats up on herself way too much throughout the book but I guess that’s all in the grieving process and everyone grieves differently.

I enjoyed the ending of this book because I feel that Lynx and Sarah were deserving of one another. They complemented one another well and they were able to heal one another’s demons.

This book carries a heavy load of emotions with it. It’s a quick read but it’s not necessarily an easy one. The storyline is original and it’s well written but if you are someone who enjoys light fluffy romances this may not be the book for you.
