Exposed Secrets

So were do I start? Jodi Ellen Malpas, you out did yourself. I was so hooked on Jesse Ward and I did not think that you could ever write anything that would be remotely in the same A-List Category of that book.  YOU DID!!!! 


M is the type of man that makes you wonder what the hell he is about from the start of the book.  He's handsome, witty and full of mystery!  I took my time reading. I even started writing my next book to keep me from reading it all in one sitting. I did not want to wait too long for the next book... One Night Denied. BUT! It did not happen because I could not put the damn thing down. 

So where to start.... I could not stand M in the beginning of the book and to tell you the truth, Livy was not clicking with me either.  But as I read and finally gotten to the 3rd chapter I developed a "bond" with Livy.  I loved that she seemed so innocent and so normal.  As I learned her secrets I really begin to Gel with her. I Loved that when she let down her guard she started to come ALIVE again and wanted to spread her wings!!!!     Her Nan wanted so much for her livy to live a normal life and not compare her life to her mom.  By the way NAN is Kick ass!  Nan is officially my girl! 

Jodi made the sex scene so mouth watering ( I cannot believe that I am even saying that.) I loved how they were when alone with each other. Livy brought out the best in him as well as him in her. I loved their "thing" that they shared made it even more special. If I keep on going on, I feel as if I am going to spoil the book for those of have not read it yet.  I really do love it and I cannot wait until November gets her so I can write more about this book.

I really do want more of M and Livy and I cannot wait to see the outcome of how their relationship! 

JODI!  You did it again. and well Jesse maybe my Favorite...But M, He got it going on!!! lol

Thanks for sharing him and Livy with us.

Reading this book took me on a ride. I was crying, laughing and ready to fight all at the same time. I have read this book several times. I love Mia, but, I love her even more with Jordan.

She had a hard life before she could even walk know it was going to be hell. She was abused by her father... her mother signed her over to. The fell right into another abusive relationship with her prick bf. I loved the chemistry right off the bat that she and Jordan had.

This book had me on edge and wanting to read it straight through. And I DID! lol I loved the ending it gave you a certain peace you did not have to think about what is going to happen in the next book. The Author fed a complete meal and it lets me think that Jordan and Mia are traveling right now. I Love this book and it is a Goodread.

I Love that fact of having a book published. But at the same time it is slowly getting on my nerve with the editing and all the little stuff that comes with. My book will be out this month and I am nervous, I'm starting to second guess myself a lot that I have sent everything off to publishing.  I know I am not the only one that has these problems when it comes to letting a book go off into print.  This is my work and I want it to leave a great impression not only on the readers, but for me to be proud of what I put out.  I guess I will just take some deep breaths and let God work through me.  I feel like a ball of nerves that is going to be erupt at any given time. 

I will sit and meditate... I know I have faith in God and in myself but what is with this second guessing?  Is this what all authors do when they have submitted?  I hope you all enjoy Alexandria and Maxwell as much as I did writing them. I feel like Alex right now and want to bust out and sob for days gone by.  I have birth my very first baby. Now I have to hurry up and wait. Pray for me. 

     

I have to say going into this book had me a little skeptical. I was reading really good, when I see the words "six weeks before." I try to stay away from books like this, due to the fact I get confused really quick. (I have these moments) I am always trying to keep up... Sometimes I fail.

BUT...
     I followed through perfectly. Karyn Lawrence set the stage really good. Going back in time and bringing us right back to the present was a very smooth transition.  I loved the whole Story line. There was not a Damsel in distress. Lauren (the leading lady) made my day when I started reading and seen what she was made of. She gave up her life many years ago for her Career, then gave it away again for the love of her life. She is not weak at all.  I love strong women. (girl power)

     Jason was a very dominate man. He was strong for the both of them at all times. He gave a hint of weakness, but it was for Lauren. He showed me that he will go to the ends of the earth to find her, fight for her and piss her off when needed.   Jason is that kind of man that makes you feel safe, when there are 100 men outside the door with guns and all he has is one.  

There were no plot holes. It meshed very well with every chapter. Karyn never missed a beat!! wooo weeee! Romance, Lust and attitude! 

                                      I give this book
   I know one thing... I want more. I'll be waiting to see what happens next. 

I recommend this book to anyone that wants to read outside their box (genre) that they are not used to.  You rocked it out Karyn Lawrence!!
