For more than a year, Tanner West has tried to shake his feelings for his long time best friend, Paisley Bronson. She was the perfect girl to fit the lyrics in all his favorite songs – the girl he had always wanted. When she fell in love with another man before Tanner had the chance to tell her how he felt, he was left with no resolve to find love again. Burying himself in school and easy girls has become his new lifestyle, but when Kellee Brooks shows up at his favorite bar, he begins to think there may be another verse to his song, after all.

Kellee Brooks moved to New York City for one thing: escape. Growing up in a small town where her entire life was planned out for her, she’s desperate to break free and find herself without following the same path as her mom. Kellee thought working at the local dive bar would mean more money for school, but when she meets the smoldering, scarred honey eyes of Tanner West, she finds there’s much more hiding in the smoky building than just a few tips.

With Paisley still haunting Tanner and Kellee vowing to save anyone the trouble of loving her, will the pain and fear keep them apart – or will they find a way to rewrite their song together?

Break free with this heartbreaking story of letting go and letting love in.

          My heart feels like it’s about to beat right out of my chest. Tanner is looking at me like he’s not good enough to touch me and like he can’t keep his fucking hands off me all at the same time. I inhale deep, my breath shaky as I try to find the words to say. I want to talk about it more – about what she is to him, about when she’s coming and what I’m going to have to deal with – but right now all I can think about is how his hands feel on my waist, and how I wish he would touch every inch of my body with those hands.

          “Kiss me,” I breathe.

          Tanner doesn’t waste another second. His lips find mine, soft and gentle at first, but then a fire consumes us both and I’m biting his neck as he lifts me from my chair. He kisses down my collarbone and then back up to my ear, sending chills cascading down my arms and legs. I moan softly, running my fingers through his hair and tugging a little as I pull his lips back to mine. He slides his tongue between my lips and takes my mouth, deepening the kiss as his hands explore my body.

          “How long until dinner?” he pants between kisses.

          “Maybe twenty minutes.”

          “That’ll do,” he replies, carrying me to the couch.

          Tanner’s hands are hungry as he positions himself on top of me, pulling the straps of my tank top down to kiss my shoulders. He nips and sucks softly, trailing a line from my shoulders, to my neck, across my collar bone, and back again. Slowly, he kisses a little lower, sucking at the swell just above the hem of my top. I inhale sharply, my fingers gripping his hair.

          “You taste so sweet,” he mumbles against my skin, lighting it on fire. He lifts my shirt and slowly kisses down my stomach, stopping just above the hem of my shorts. He blazes a trail of fire with his tongue from one hip to the other, working the buttons and zipper until he has my shorts loose enough to pull down my shaking legs and throw across the room. He smiles up at me, his sexy half grin silently killing me, and then he completely takes my breath away – because he pulls my panties off with his teeth.

          With. His. Teeth.

          Suddenly, my heart is beating in my throat. I’m not a virgin, but I’m definitely no where near as experienced as Tanner, no matter how cocky my façade may be. My legs are shaking uncontrollably and I feel it start to move up to my hands. Tanner stops kissing my thighs and looks up at me, concern laden on his face.

          “Are you okay?” he asks, moving to position himself on top of me again. He brushes the hair from my face and pulls my shaking hand to his lips, kissing my fingers softly as he waits for me to reply.

          I nod, though not confidently. “I hate admitting this to you, but I’m not that experienced.”

          He smiles devilishly, his eyes lighting the fire in my stomach again. “You think I don’t know that? Why do you think I’m going so slow?”

          I let out of a puff of air, “This is slow?”

          His grin grows wider, “Trust me – if I had it my way, your ankles would have been on my shoulders the first night I saw you.”

There’s just one small problem.

Paisley’s been assigned a new client at work, and his name is Corbin Ray.

Will Paisley and Corbin give in to the chemistry between them, or will their past and present complications keep them apart?

Fall in love with this fun and irresistibly naughty game of cat and mouse.

Review

  This is book #2 of the Chasers series and although it can be read as a standalone, it would be nice to read Tag Chaser. The author did a great job with the backstory for those that didn’t read TC. I just would recommend reading book 1. In this book we learn about Tanner West and how he needs to go about getting over Paisley.
Kandi does an excellent job with characters, just like in Tag Chaser. Tanner has a bright future as a doctor and realizes that he always falls for the wrong girls. He is always chasing after that one girl that can be the answer to all his songs. Not only does he love his music but he is a pick-up line whore! In the nicest sense. 🙂 He even delivered a few ones that I had forgot about. Now I know the author did this on purpose and built him as such. But I will admit that I did get slightly annoyed. His time in the Pediatrics did him some justice and his gorgeous body gave him a few more points. Now onto Kellee. Student Kellee Brooks is a spitfire. She is strong and didn’t take what Tanner dished.  Working 2 jobs and going to school keeps a girl very busy. Mee Ma saves the day for Kellee. I loved her grandmother, she keeps Kellee grounded and offers the best advice.
I am a fan of music and loved how Tanner and Kellee bonded and formed their own foundation for their relationship. These two meet and aren’t ready for love. They had to grow together and do the many ‘firsts’ in the relationship. But when tragedy strikes these two learn that living life is more important that waiting around.
Song Chaser is a great story on how 2 people can overcome their pasts and make a song of their own. 4 smooches!

Excerpt

Turning around to go back inside my laughter stops. I don’t feel the crystal dish slip from my fingers. I just stand here… frozen.

There’s yelling and noise but it’s all muffled… like that night.

I close my eyes.

Breathe… Breathe…

My heartbeat pounding through me the muffled sounds become clear and I hear Morgan screaming at me.

“Jesus, Sidney! Do you want Mom to kill you?”

Blinking feverishly I look down to see she caught it just as it was about to smash. I can’t bring myself to worry about that right now. I look back up and watch as Simon, the boy I was so in love with just moments ago pulls away from a girl that up until this point was my best friend. A girl I thought I was going away to college with, a girl who knew how I felt about him.

This is not happening… at my party no less…

“Breathe… You’re in control…” Molly whispers, her hand connecting with my back startles me.

You know when you witness something and you know you should look away but you can’t because it’s one of those moments, those damn life changing moments that your brain makes sure to take notes on so that nothing is missed, no detail is overlooked, and nothing is ever forgotten. It’s one of those moments in life that you know instantly will repeat itself over and over in your head until it eventually causes you to change. It will break you and from those pieces in that moment will rebuild you. I thought that night was my moment, but I guess that was just a giant stepping-stone to this. Maybe I was wrong about fate… maybe it forgot about me.

My pulse continues to beat through my body in a deep throbbing rhythm, the darkness of a black out building up. He steps back from her, slightly turning his head in my direction and I know he knows I’m standing here, he just refuses to turn and look at me. I’m so dumb, I should have seen this coming. I mean did I really think I was so different from any of my predecessors? Women, real women, who have actually given themselves to him completely only to find out the next morning they’re just one in a crowd of many. Nothing special and forgotten about as soon as he received whatever it was he wanted from them.

I did… because he told me I was. We had a plan…

About FIVE WAYS TO FALL:

Purple-haired, sharp-tongued Reese MacKay knows all about making the wrong choice; she’s made plenty of them in her twenty-odd-years. So when her impulsive, short-lived marriage ends in heartbreak, she decides it’s time for a change. She moves to Miami with the intention of hitting reset on her irresponsible life, and she does quite well…aside from an epically humiliating one-night stand in Cancun with a hot blond bouncer named Ben. Thank God she can get on a plane and leave that mistake behind her.

Football scholarship and frat parties with hot chicks? Part of charmer Ben Morris’s plan. Blown knee that kills any hope of a professional football career? So not part of the plan. Luckily Ben has brains to go with his knockout looks and magnetism. After three long years of balancing law school with his job as a bouncer at Penny’s Palace, he’s ready to lead a more mature life—until his first day of work, when he finds himself in the office of that crazy, hot chick he met in Cancun. The one he hasn’t stopped thinking about.

If Ben truly were a smart guy, he’d stay clear of Reese. She’s the boss’s stepdaughter and it’s been made very clear that office romances are grounds for dismissal. Plus, rumor has it she’s trouble. The only problem is, he likes trouble, especially when it’s so good-looking…

Review

“I guess even smart girls can make a clusterfuck of their lives, can’t they?”

I have been looking forward to Ben’s story since I first met the smartass, girl-loving bartender turned lawyer from Penny’s! I knew his story was going to be both hilarious and emotional because to turn that man into a one woman man was going to take a special kind of a girl and a lot of working past the baggage that made him act the way he does. K.A. Tucker did not let me down. I loved Ben and Reese’s story and was almost sad to see it end. Reese was the perfect loud mouthed – I don’t care what you think of me kind of a girl to tame Ben. Their story was not an easy one and a lot had to happen for them to realize that they should not run or hide from their feelings but in the end this was a beautiful, although so very funny, love story that I can see myself reading over and over.

“When are you two going to start acting like adults?” “Soon.” Lying

Reese and Ben meet in Cancun and end up having the most disastrous one night stand in history. After Reese escapes and goes back home to start a new life and new job she is beyond shocked to find that her one night stand from HELL is also a new employee at the law firm that she is now a paralegal at. Reese has not always been a paralegal with her life together (if you can call it that) Not long before that ill fated Cancun trip Reese’s husband divorced her after she found him cheating on her with an old girlfriend. After a bit of a mental breakdown the crazy haired, tattooed, pierced Reese’s ex-stepdad steps in and helps her get her life straight and after she completes the paralegal program at a local school gets her a job at his law firm. The same law firm that has just hired fresh out of law school ex-strip club bouncer Ben. Ben can un-nerve Reese like no one else and as much as she desperately tried to deny her attraction to him it is obvious to everyone. So what’s the problem, well for one the firm has a strict No-Fraternizing policy and her step-dad is the guy in charge. Two, Reese is still hung up in her ex and none of this bears well for Ben.

“I liken Reese to a wild horse that’s become accustomed to humans. She’ll tolerate you, she may even come close to you, she’ll certainly bewitch you, but you never know exactly what she’s going to do.”

 I think what I loved most about this story was that Reese was so much different than ant heroine in a book I’ve read. She doesn’t have her shit together, she likes to look and act crazy and if there is trouble Reese will find it and fall into it. More often than not her decisions are the wrong ones, not because she likes to do the wrong thing but because she leads with her heart, loud mouth and ability to have some of the worse luck ever.  I absolutely adored how well Ben could take Reese and always had something to say back to her smart ass remarks. But as fun as both Ben and Reese were their lives were not easy, both are battling some pretty tough inner demons and their family lives have left each a bit wounded and unwilling to dive whole heartily into relationships. K.A. has a way of building the story that you don’t even realize how immersed in it you are. She didn’t come right out in it with all the emotional baggage but instead built piece upon piece until you could see the whole picture. I was completely wrapped up and could not put it down. Much the same way she doesn’t use sex as something to keep you entertained. Sex has a purpose and a place and by the time you get there you are oh so ready for it (and boy is it worth the wait) Even the parts of the story that are not full of sex are still extremely sexy, the chemistry she writes its amazing and rarely does something as simple as a touch or a kiss get me so worked up. This is a sign of a very talented writer. I guarantee anyone who reads this book will not be let down.

Unbeloved by Madeline Sheehan Release Blitz

10155745_10203593270534026_9205613728754681377_n

Warning: This is not a conventional or predictable love story. It involves one woman and two men bound by a love so destructive it spans two decades, pitting brother against brother, and shattering the lives of those touched by it.

Dorothy Kelley is a born romantic, searching for her prince. Instead she finds herself pregnant at fifteen, and a in a loveless marriage by the tender age of eighteen.

Then hope comes riding into her life on a motorcycle and within weeks, Jason “Jase” Brady, a member of the Hell’s Horsemen motorcycle club, sweeps Dorothy off her feet.

But nothing is ever simple for Dorothy. Jase is married with children. And as Dorothy patiently waits for Jase to give her the happily-ever-after she’s been dreaming about, James “Hawk” Young, a member of the Hell’s Horsemen with secrets of his own, sees an opening into Dorothy’s life and takes it.

Carrying on two secret affairs is no easy feat. As Dorothy tries to dig herself out of the mess she’s created, covering one mistake with another, tragedy strikes, nearly costing Dorothy her life and that of her unborn son.

What follows is a long and painful journey of self-discovery and forgiveness, as Dorothy comes to realize that home was exactly where she’d left it, and the love she’d forever craved had always been within her reach.

This is the story of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk.

We are all born pure; it is our journey that burdens us and leads us astray. Our mistakes that beat us down and cover us in guilt and shame, burying us a little more with each passing hardship. It is up to us to dig ourselves out, to come to terms with our faults, to embrace not only our imperfections but those of the ones we love, and to once again find the path we strayed from.

Beautiful Ties Excerpt:

Suddenly, I felt a warm breath right next to my ear, and I inhaled a familiar husky cologne, the same scent I had smelled for the first time only hours ago.

“If I catch that garter, Abbey, I get to dance with you for a whole three minutes, and you won’t be able to run off,” Jason whispered seductively in my ear.

I kept my gaze on the couple in front of me. There was no way I could fall for his sweet charms since we would be working together soon. However, I couldn’t resist a good challenge. I was competitive in every sense of the word, and I also couldn’t ignore the effect he had on me.

I tilted my head to look up into his eyes, ignoring the way they made me feel inside. “Then, I hope you miss,” I replied, stifling my smile.

He let out a throaty laugh, causing delicious goose bumps to break out across my skin.

“Oh, Abbey, one thing about me you’ll learn quickly is that I never back down from a challenge, and I never miss a good catch,” he responded confidently.

Before I could figure out what he’d meant or voice my retort, the crowd roared with clapping and laughter. I brought my attention back to Kyle, who was holding a small football in his hand. My jaw dropped. Surely, he had not pulled that out of Lily’s dress, but the look in his eyes told me differently. I had to chuckle at Lily’s creativeness. Kyle ducked his head again and went back under Lily’s dress for round two.

As I wondered if a garter was even under there, Jason bent forward and spoke lowly in my ear, “A football?” He grinned. “The odds are definitely in my favor now.”

I bit my lip, praying an all-star college quarterback wasn’t behind me. Out of all the single men here tonight, I had to have a good chance that someone else, anyone else besides Jason, could catch that damn football. I was not sure if I could survive having his hands on me for three minutes without wanting to taste his lips.

Kyle reappeared from under Lily’s fluffy white dress, and he sat back on his haunches with a lacy garter between his teeth. Kyle’s eyes beamed brightly as he let the white material fall from his mouth only to gracefully catch it with his free hand. He leaned forward to place a smacking kiss on his bride’s mouth. Then, he rose to his feet and snapped the garter in place around the football.

“Who wants this bad boy?” Kyle grinned, raising the football in his hand.

I shook my head in pure awe as every single man practically ran to the dance floor.

“Game time,” Jason whispered before strolling over to join the other men. He stood right in the center of the dance floor, and then he tilted his head at me, releasing one wicked grin, before redirecting his gaze back at Kyle.

Brooke came to stand at my side. “Holy crap,” she breathed in wonder, shaking her head. “Have you ever seen so many men jump in line to catch a garter?”

I laughed. “Nope. But I’m pretty sure they just want that football.”

“That sounds about right.” Brooke chortled.

The DJ counted to three. All the single men seemed to brace themselves in anticipation, and I surprisingly found myself doing the same. Kyle faced away from the men. He raised the football and whipped it backward. I held my breath as it went flying. Jason was the only one I was watching. He moved with lightning speed and jumped up as he lifted his hands in the air.

And he caught the ball.

My mouth dropped open in shock. What are the odds?

“Well, hot damn! Looks like he is quite the catch!” Brooke joked. “And he’s extremely determined to dance with you, Abbey,” she added teasingly, nudging my shoulder.

Still speechless, I continued to gawk at Jason. His eyes found mine just then. They were shining with a mixture of triumph and mischief. The look made my heart pound frantically in my chest, and my insides warmed, weakening my knees. If he could melt me into a puddle with just one look, I had no idea how I was going endure the feel of his strong hands wrapped around me for an entire song.

Lily appeared at my opposite side, squealing with delight. “Holy shit! Jason caught it!” she cried.

I turned my wide eyes to her.

“Don’t give me that look! I’ve seen the way you two have been eyeing each other all night,” she purred, pointing her finger at me.

Before I could voice my weak protest, Lily’s twinkling eyes turned back to the dance floor. The DJ announced that the two winners would dance to “19 You + Me” by Dan and Shay,and Lily squealed with excitement. From the corner of my eye, I could see Jason approaching us.

Lily spoke first, “Did you come to steal my new sister-in-law away from me?”

My gaze shifted to Jason.

“I did,” Jason replied throatily with a mischievous grin. Meeting my stare, he outstretched his hand to me, sending my nerves into a frenzy all over again. “Abbey, I believe you owe me this dance.”

Lily’s eyes bounced between the two of us. As I hesitantly lifted my hand, Lily took a backward step, stretching her arm out behind my back, and she pushed me forward into Jason’s arms. A smile tugged at his lips as he placed one hand at my waist, steadying me. He lowered his eyes to my hand as he reached forward to enclose his much larger hand over my slight one. His touch was warm and strong and confident.

Jason was silent as if absorbing the feel of me, of our first contact since the ceremony earlier today.

Our attraction was palpable and undeniable, like a fierce electrical current brewing among us. I had only known this man for a few mere hours, yet I was already worried about my heart surviving the intensity of his touch for the next three minutes.

Jason slightly lowered his head toward mine. The movement was slow and graceful. His expression was thoughtful as if he, too, was processing what was happening between us. He finally broke the silence. “Ready?” he asked gently.

I was unable to say anything, afraid my voice would squeak, so I answered with a nod.

This day sure had taken so many intriguing yet unexpected turns. My mind was reeling, and I had butterflies in my stomach. In that instant, I decided to hand over the cards to fate, opening myself to whatever it might bring, as I embraced this moment.

Our chosen song began to pour from the speakers. Without another word, he led me to the center of the dance floor, and everyone gathered around the edge. They observed with drinks in their hands as they talked among themselves.

Jason twirled me under his arm once, and I could not help but smile up at him. Even as I wore heels, he towered over me. Then, he pulled me close against his chest and wrapped his arms around my waist. I rested my hands on his firm chest, feeling the toned muscles beneath my palms and fingertips. I tried to keep my movements subtle, but my hands wanted to feel more of him. He let out a deep breath while keeping his eyes on me. He continued to move us in tune to the music, never faltering his stride. The slight caress of his hands on the small of my back was nearly my undoing. My skin warmed under his touch. I was unable to stop the urge, and I slid my palms up each curved muscle until I reached his shoulders.

Even with my smaller frame, I seemed to fit against him perfectly. The thought was soothing and nerve-racking all at the same time.

The tangible energy intensified between us with every step. The room around us was quiet, and I had to remind myself that our family and friends were watching us.

“You look stunning in this dress, Abbey,” Jason said in a soft tone while his thumb stroked back and forth against the silkiness of my black bridesmaid gown.

“Thank you. Lily let us each pick out our own,” I answered.

My gaze caught Lily while she was watching us, and I could practically see her eyes shining brighter than the sun.

I glanced back at Jason, smiling softly. “She really is great. I’m so happy she came into my brother’s life.”

“She is. Lily is one of the most kindhearted people I have ever met,” he agreed affectionately. Then, he led me into another spin and brought me close. “But I must say, I’m glad to finally meet you after hearing so much about you,” he said with a sexy-as-all-get-out smile.

I blinked in surprise, wondering how much he had heard about me, so I took the bait. “And what have you heard?”

Jason lowered his head, and when he chuckled, I could feel his warm breath on my exposed throat.

“That you’re beautiful and smart”—he led me backward, never relinquishing the lead—“a hard worker”—he pivoted us to the left while keeping his hold on my waist and eyes on mine before dipping me as the song came to an end—“and stubborn.” He gave me an impish grin.

“Very stubborn,” I breathed, nearly speechless.
