things even start to go wrong.

everything she’s ever wanted – giving Alexa the winter wedding of a lifetime.

Excerpt
“Yes!” I shrieked as I threw myself off the bed and into Drake’s arms in response to his proposal. “A million times yes.”
Knowing he’d been holding on to an engagement ring for so many months was a shock, although a much more pleasant one than the other one I’d received
tonight. Sure, the idea of marrying Drake had crossed my mind from time to time even though our relationship was still relatively new and we were young.
I’d been hiding after what had happened with Brad. His betrayal had made me lose faith in boys and love. Meeting Drake had brought me back to life and made
me want more again, but we still had another year of school until we graduated from college. As much as I could picture myself with him forever, I hadn’t
expected us to be engaged this soon.
Even though the timing wasn’t perfect and tonight was terrifyingly insane, there was no other answer I could give. The bottom line was this: I loved Drake
beyond distraction and wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.
“You know you’re crazy, right?” I asked as I stared at the ring he had slid on my finger.
Drake flashed a grin my way, the one that showed off the dimple in his left cheek. “Crazy in love with you.”
My panties practically melted at his answer. “Your kind of crazy must be contagious then because I love you more than I ever expected it was possible to
love another person.”
“How about you show me just how crazy we can be together?” he breathed out as his lips trailed down my neck.
Review- 5 Stars
I fell in love with Drake
In Push the Envelope (Blythe College #1)…oh and Alexa too… I forged ahead with
them as they learned to build a relationship. They loved hard (literally and
figuratively…), they worked hard, and they beat the odds.
Then I caught up with
them again in the novella, Push It Forward. Time apart and evil from Alexa’s
past threaten everything they’ve worked so hard to grow between them. In the
end, they are stronger for it, and finally take that step in pledging to belong
to each other forever. It was a beautiful ending, but bittersweet. I hated to
say goodbye.
Imagine my absolute freak
out when I found out about Winter Wedding!!!! Just a little more time with
Drake and Alexa. Yay!
In true Drake and Lexi
form, the fire between them rages, burning up the bedroom…or wherever they
succumb to their desires.
Drake is worried that
Lexi is pulling away from him. He’s always had a softer, sweeter side along
with his insanely sexy alpha ways. But, in Winter Wedding, we see a deeper
concern and an incredibly instance NEED to make Lexi his wife. However, he
wants her to be just as happy about getting married as he is, and he has
noticed her pulling away.
Lexi is over whelmed! Her
wedding has become a massive event, rolling speedily out of her control.
Sadness is clawing its way into her heart, aching for those who cannot be with
her on her special day. To top it off, things begin to go wrong at every angle.
Soon, she is so caught up in the whirlwind that she is on the verge of breaking
into a million pieces.
In true Drake fashion, he
jumps in and saves the day.
This was an outstanding
conclusion to Drake and Alexa’s story. As a novella, it’s a fairly short read.
However, instead of being left wanting more (not that I would ever turn down
more Drake and Alexa), it satisfied my love of a good HEA in every direction!
Drake and Alexa are true to the characters I came to love in their other books.
Rochelle is wonderful at keeping consistency in her characters. The cameos of
other characters was a great way to button up some of their stories as well.
I can’t tell you how
awesome this novella is! You’ll just fall for Drake all over again! Your heart
will melt at the romance, your body will burn at the passion, and your soul
will be calmed with the perfect ending.

Author Bio:
I absolutely adore reading - always have and always will. My friends growing up used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at
the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.
I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream
as long as you are willing to work for it.
When I told my mom that my new year's resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me "About time!"
