Blog Tour + Review! 5 Stars! Choosing Henley by Anne Jolin




Choosing Henley
By Anne Jolin
Series: Book Two in the Rock Falls Series
Genre: Romance | Erotica 



~ Synopsis ~

Lennon Montgomery is scared. Absolutely scared shitless of love. 

When the floor fell out from underneath her perfect childhood, it shattered her ability to trust. The one man in her life who was genetically programmed to love her left her. Since then, she’s allowed men into her bed and even into her life, but never into her heart. 

Until him. 

Jamison Henley has never wanted a woman for longer than it takes him to make a guitar. He’s content living his life and loving only three things: making guitars, cooking great food, and Martha, his black pit bull. He never chases women, and he’s never had to. 

Until her.

One night together changes everything. There’s no going back to the way it was before. 

She doesn’t want to want him, but she does. 

He knows he wants her, but he can’t have her. 


Will Montgomery take the leap of faith in choosing Henley? Or will her fear cripple their chance at a happily ever after?

~ Review- 5 Stars!! ~

Have you met the men of Rock Falls yet? Oh, what you’re missing… Anne Jolin knows how to write a man that will have you drooling and reaching for the nearest ice bucket to put out your fire!
Lennon Montgomery has some pretty justified fears about loving someone. She doesn’t want her heart broken. She doesn’t want to feel the pain of loss and betrayal that has experienced in her past, ever again. She is adamant that she will never fall in love. This means staying away from Jamison Henley. She knows he has the power to penetrate her walls, and she is determined not to let him.
Jamison is just as determined. He knows what they could have together and he refuses to let her ignore it. He promises her that she will love him, and Jamison always keeps his promises.
I liked Lennon from the first page. She is jaded and closed off, but her obvious love for her friends and her sarcastic inner monologue made for a character I wanted to get to know better. Normally, when a woman is determined not to fall in love and pushes her prince away, I get annoyed with it pretty quickly. However, her fears were so justified, that I couldn’t help but sympathize with her. And, eventually she gives in to what she’s never believed she would have. She has her head screwed on straight, and I commend the author for writing a woman that I would love to call my friend…if only she were real!
Jamison…for the love of every melting ice cube… that man is the perfect mixture and sweet and salty. He has just enough possessive, alpha male in him to burn the panties right off of me. Then he whips out this sweet and tender side, and I find myself melting into a puddle of molten lava. He makes guitars for a living (Mmmm…good with his hands? I think so.), he has sexy ink (hell yes!), and he has the physique of a guy who indulges in outdoor sports regularly (making for spectacular “indoor sports” in the bedroom).

I’ll return to these two again and again. This definitely goes on my “to be read over and over” shelf. This book can be read as a standalone, however it is part of a series. If you haven’t read Chasing Rhodes, I highly recommend it! Now, I’m just waiting (and totally bugging the author) to get to Breaking Bennett! I need more Rock Falls!!!

~ About the Author ~ 
Anne Jolin
I’m twenty four years old. I was born and raised in Ladner, a small farm town just outside of Vancouver, Canada. I grew up riding horses, shooting guns and riding in trucks. I’ve been married to my handsome redneck husband for a year and we are parents to our chocolate fur baby, Bear. No kiddo’s yet! I am completely and utterly obsessed with country music, you will constantly find me stalking iTunes. If you don’t find me on iTunes, you’ll find me on Netflix because I am a self proclaimed movie junkie. Yes, that means that I quote them constantly in daily conversation and my characters do too! You couldn’t keep me away from a good action movie if you tried. I’m also a planning nut. I love to plan parties, events, trips – you name it! I don’t know if that’s considered a real hobby, but it is for me. 

We were fortunate enough to travel a lot as a family growing up, and I think that helped spark my love of reading. I’m half Viking, my mom is Danish, and her entire side of the family still lives in Denmark. We’d visit them almost once a year, every year and it’s a nine hour flight. That’s a lot of uninterrupted time to read (or in my parent’s case, entertain four children – Yikes!). Somewhere along the way my love of reading, became a love of writing. I wrote short stories when I was younger, and although I majored in Business Management at college, I took as many English electives I could get my hands on. 

During the day I work at my family construction company wearing a variety of different hats and at night, I write! I had never thought about writing books before, but after a few suggestions that I should try, I decided to give it a go. I loved it instantly! Having always been a creative person, it felt amazing to harness all that energy and use it to tell a story. Now, quite frankly it’s all I can think about, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m grateful to have developed my love of reading into a passion for writing. You’ll be seeing many more books from me in the future!

~ Excerpt ~
“Look,” she said in a tone that made me think she’d said this little speech a few times before.  “You’re a nice guy and I am extremely sorry I maced you—even if you did deserve it.”
That last part had me cocking an eyebrow.  I grinned at her and she couldn’t help but return it.  But she slowly dropped the smile and continued on.
“It’s just that you are a client and it’s unprofessional.  I’d never do that to Pops.  Can we please just call a truce so we can carry on a strictly professional relationship?”
She was the kind of girl I wanted to say yes to. To make her world spin just the way she liked it.  She was my green-eyed goddess and I her lonely disciple, waiting for her every command.  But this?  No, this I couldn’t do.
            “No,” I muttered quietly, causing her eyes to dart to mine and search for where I was going with this. 
“What do you mean, ‘no’?” she hissed. 
In three long strides, I marched up to her petite frame and pinned her to the table with my closeness, never actually touching her.  She didn’t shrink back like I’d somehow expected her to.  Instead, she held that beautiful chin high, eyes glued to mine. 

Leaning my head down to where my lips almost touched the skin below her ear, my hot breath assaulted her flesh. “No.” 



~ Review ~ 

Lia is a typical college senior until one day, she is subjected to a horror that defines the rest of her life. Three years later, she has found some semblance of security and started to see the possibility of growing beyond her fear.
When she meets Cade, for whatever reason, he immediately sets her at ease, makes her feel safe. They have whirlwind romance. This is definitely a “love at first sight” story. But, they are such fun characters, and their passion burns so bright, that it didn’t bother me. Sometimes, life works that way, so why not see a fun story of fast love and courtship?
Lia’s past comes back to haunt her, but Cade is strong, confident, and possessive. He is determined to protect her and his alpha attitude will melt the panties off any woman, including the reader!
There is just enough thrill and suspense to keep the story moving at a fast pace, but it doesn’t leave the romance behind.
Lia’s relationship with Anj and “Pops” add to the book’s dynamic. They both love Lia, but are also determined to help her live a little. Anj is hilarious, and she had me laughing out loud on several occasions.
Eventually, Lia and Cade’s relationship is drastically challenged by a revelation that tears them apart.  The foundation may be irreparably damaged.
W. Webster has delivered a really fun read. It’s fast paced, full of intrigue, and passion. I’ve always been a fan of her books. This isn’t my favorite, but that’s because it’s so hard to top her Breaking the Rules series! I really enjoyed this story and had a great time getting to know Lia and Cade!





~ About the Author ~

K Webster

I’m a thirty-two-year-old self-proclaimed book nerd. Married for nearly eleven years, my husband and I enjoy spending time with our two lovely children. Writing is a newly acquired fun hobby for me. In the past, I’ve enjoyed the role as a reader. However, recently, I learned that I absolutely love taking on the creative role as the writer. Something about determining how the story will play out intrigues me to no end. My husband claims that it’s because I like to control things—in a way, he’s right! 

By day, I run around from appointment to appointment, wearing many hats including, mom, wife, part-time graphic designer, blogger, networker, social media stalker, student, business owner, and book boyfriend hunter. (It’s actually a thing—complete with pink camo. I lurk around the internet, “researching” pictures of hot guys who fit the profile of whatever book boyfriend I’m reading or writing about) 

I guess you can blame my obsession with books on my lovely grandmother, who is quite possibly my favorite person on the planet. At an early age, she took me to the half-priced bookstore each weekend and allowed me to choose a book. Every single time, she caved when I begged for two. Without her encouragement, I wouldn’t have been able to cope during some hard times without my beloved books. 

Currently, I am finishing up my college degree that has taken me forever to complete. It’s just on the list of my many “bucket-list” goals that I subject myself to.
Most days, you can find me firmly planted in front of my computer. It’s my life. If the world ever loses power, I’d be one of the first to die—of boredom! But I guess as long as I have books and a light, I might just survive. 

Looking forward, you can expect to see two more novels in the Breaking the Rules Series. I’m nearly finished with the third. Also, I have a standalone novel that will be released soon as well. 
This writing experience has been a blast, and I’ve met some really fabulous people along the way. I hope my readers enjoy reading my stories as much as I do writing them. I look forward to connecting with you all!

BREAKING BENNETT
Author:  Anne Jolin
Genre: Romance/Erotica
Series: Rock Falls Series, Book 3


~ SYNOPSIS ~

Beth Rhodes has always had a game plan. Go to college. Get the perfect job. Get the perfect guy. Get the happily ever after she's always wanted. It is just her luck that everything falls into its precise place in her life. At least it seems that way until her blueprints go up in smoke. She loses the job she loves and her price charming is turning out to be the villain of her fairytale instead. With failures and mistakes piling up on her doorstep, she knows something has to give—or she could very well end up paying for those mistakes with her life.

Braxton Bennett is lethal, both in the courtroom and in the ring. Two sides of him constantly wage war against one another, and to keep the internal bloodshed at bay, he allows himself to indulge in his violent vice. Suit by day and brawler by night aren’t easy dual lives to manage for a man of his status. The only way to do so is by following a strict set of rules—rules he won’t break for anyone. But what if he already has?

On a summer night in the depths of the city, a chance encounter will turn both of their perfectly constructed worlds upside down.

Will they battle together against all odds to break Bennett’s rules? Or will Rhodes tap out to save herself before the fight is over?

Blog Tour + Review! These Days by Renee Ericson





THESE DAYS
Author: Renee Ericson

Genre: Contemporary Romance


~ SYNOPSIS ~

One girl. One boy. 

A chance meeting, a tragedy, and a second chance.

Two people trying to figure themselves out, only to find each other. Follow one couple's trials of love and life in this unique Contemporary Romance journey that begins in high school and progresses through to adulthood.

Their story is nothing like those in fairy tales, but their love is.


These Days is the compilation of After Tuesday, Forgotten Yesterday, and Deciding Tomorrow.



~ REVIEW ~ 5 Stars!
  
I cannot express how much I loved this trilogy! But, I’ll try.

These Days is the combination of the books, After Tuesday (Book 1), Forgotten Yesterday (Book 2), and Deciding Tomorrow (Book 3). IT follows the story of Ruby and Brent from high school on into adulthood.

Ruby’s home life is a mess. Her father has completely checked out, choosing to give in to his alcoholism, leaving Ruby to be the adult at 17. Brent is the golden boy in high school. He’s the soccer star, dating the most popular girl in school, and gorgeous.

To Ruby’s shock, when Brent is suddenly available, he notices Ruby and decides she is special and begins to pursue her. Ruby is hesitant at first but eventually, Brent proves to her that his intentions are real and he is worth taking a chance on.

Their relationship seems like a dream, and they are surrounded by a bubble of new love. But no bubble can last forever and circumstances burst the fragile wall they’ve built.
Ruby and Brent find their love tested and are forced to decide whether their love is worth fighting for.
 
The first book could easily be read as a standalone.

It’s difficult for me to go into much detail on the 2nd and 3rd book without spoilers. So please don’t read on if you don’t want to be exposed to them. I will however, do my best to avoid them, for the most part.

Ruby and Brent have found their happily ever after. They are out on their own, embarking on the adventure of college and adulthood, together. Once again, they’ve enshrouded themselves in a blanket of love, putting their faith in the idea that love conquers all. They are happy and looking to the future. Until one day, tragedy drives a wedge between them. They are faced with circumstances that neither has the solution to.

Fast forward 5 years. Brent and Ruby’s lives have taken different directions and they have cut ties with each other. But, fate had another idea. By sheer happenstance, Brent and Ruby cross paths again.

They are given the chance to reevaluate their choices and decide if they should give it one more shot.

The 2nd and 3rd books in the trilogy follow the story of what broke them apart and the journey of trying to find the glue that will seal them together for good.

The characters in this book drew such emotion from me. There is usually a moment in books when I get really annoyed with the main characters. I love them anyway, but they drive me a little crazy. This moment was almost unrecognizable to me in this book. Brent makes an assumption and does not wait for explanation before passing judgment and it really ticked me off, for about 2 minutes. Then he made it up to me in decks of spades.
One of my favorite things about this book is the complete devotion Brent has to Ruby. Even at the worst moments of their lives he wants to be there for her, but circumstances aren’t in his favor. When they reconnect, they both throw caution to the wind and decide to put everything into working it out. So many times in book, there is always angst and withholding from one party in the relationship until it is resolved at the last moment. I loved the choices that Renee Ericson made. Their devotion to each other is solid, its life that is throwing a wrench in their relationship, rather than the ignorance of one or the other. Their connection helped to keep my heart from completely breaking when circumstances make the future murky and unclear.


Brent and Ruby are wonderful characters. I loved every minute of their story!
