Absolution Road - by Rachel Blaufeld

BLURB

For Jake Wrigley, the future is bleak. Some people are survivors, but he’s getting by on his bad-boy looks and charming smile. He owns a gym, gets into bar fights, and wrestles his demons with rough workouts—both in and out of the bedroom.
For Alyson Road, the future is bright. Life can only improve from where she grew up. She graduated at the top of her law class, cares for her ailing mom, and in her job, she defends those who can’t afford anyone else. Her work is thankless but honest.
Jake’s twin brother has been covering his ass for as long as they’ve been alive, but that all changes when Jake finds himself in front of the fiery public defender, his future in her hands. For the first time ever, he doesn’t want to involve his brother, finally realizing he needs to stand alone, be his own man.
Even if Jake’s never absolved of his past wrongdoings or his heart is never scrubbed of the blackness that resides there, he can do one good deed—protect the beautiful lawyer who touched his soul—until helping her nearly becomes his own undoing.

EXCERPT

Leaning my chair back on its two rear legs, I couldn’t help but laugh again before trying to contain myself. This chick and her soft demeanor were all business. Of course, she would be. Who else would work on Christmas Eve? I was pretty certain she could have made me wait until the day after Christmas to post bond, but here she was defending the public on the most holy night of the year.

Add a big heart to the brain, tits, and long legs I’d already noted in her plus column. Maybe I didn’t want to bang her, but rather cherish this sweet thing? The reality of that seemed slim, seeing as the smart, good girls didn’t go for me. Nor did I expect them to. I was the bad boy, and I had the guilty conscience to back that notion right the fuck up.

“Of course, Ms. Road. It’s Jake, by the way. Just J-A-K-E. Full name is J-A-S-O-N, but I haven’t been called that in twenty years.” I mocked her spelling with my very own rendition, teasing the schoolgirl, looking for a reaction like I was in the third grade. “So, let’s get down to brass tacks and get my ass outta here so you can head home to your . . . husband? Boyfriend? He must be waiting for a gem like you to come home to start the holiday, right?”

No harm in trying.

As I spoke, she narrowed her eyes and glared daggers at me. “Are you done with probing into my personal life, interrogating me? I’m pretty sure I’m not the one in jail.”

Obviously annoyed, she followed that volley with another few leg switches. Left over right, right over left. I wanted to grab her knees and spread her limbs and dive in, let my tongue dig deep into her folds, make her let go of all that stuck-up bullshit she had going on while screaming my name. She probably tasted like sweet honey.

The Air He Breathes - Release Day Blitz and Review!







Title: The Air He Breathes
Author: Romance Elements #1
Cover Design: Brittainy C. Cherry
Genre: Romance
 Release Date: September 25, 2015




Blurb

I was warned about Tristan Cole.



“Stay away from him,” people said.

“He’s cruel.”

“He’s cold.”

“He’s damaged.”



It’s easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster.



But I couldn’t do that. I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him because it also lived inside of me.



We were both empty.

We were both looking for something else. Something more.

We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays.



Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe.

REVIEW by ANGIE

"She Breathed life into my lungs, making the dark shadows flood with light."

Can I give this more than five stars??? Geez....it was incredible.

I have read many, many books. I have read good books and just ok books. I have read great books and not so great books. And then there is another category.....Soul crushing, stick with you forever books. That is the category that The Air He Breathes fits into.

The Air He Breathes rips you apart and puts you together again only to shred your soul again before finally...finally piecing it together. I would be sobbing so hard with heartache, while laughing and fanning myself at the same time. This book brings out every emotion possible.

Brittainy C. Cherry can write anything and I will read it. She just has a way with words.

"You know that place in between nightmares and dreams? The place where tomorrows never come and yesterdays don't hurt anymore? The place where your heart beats in sync with mine? The place where time doesn't exist, and its easy to breathe? I want to live there with you."

Tristan and Elizabeth have both suffered tragedy. The worst tragedies imaginable. But yet they still find each other. They find ways with each other to ease their suffering. The way they evolve with each other is just simply beautiful.

There are other incredible characters in the book. Faye. I can't say enough about Faye. As I was reading and sobbing because my heart ached so bad, she had me laughing through those tears. Sam, such an interesting character he was....maybe we will get to see more Sam one day. Maybe? And Mr. Henson. I can't help but think that maybe he did hold a little bit of magic.

I can't say enough about this book and do it justice. Everyone just needs to read it. Best book of the year.....by far.

5+++++++ Stars

A troubled Scottish rugby player who doesn't play by the rules.

A vivacious man-eater who's given up on love.

When it comes to Lachlan and Kayla, opposites don't just attract - they explode.



Kayla Moore has always been comfortable with her feisty, maneating reputation. At least it was fine until she hit her thirties and saw her best friends Stephanie and Nicola settle down with Linden and Bram McGregor, leaving Kayla to be the odd one out. Tired of being the third wheel with nothing but one-night stands and dead-end dates in San Francisco, Kayla decides to take a vow of celibacy and put men on the backburner.



That is until she lays her eyes on Linden and Bram’s cousin, hot Scot Lachlan McGregor. Lachlan is her sexual fantasy come to life – tall, tatted, and built like a Mack truck. With a steely gaze and successful rugby career back in Edinburgh, he’s the kind of man that makes her want to throw her vow right out the window. But Lachlan’s quiet and intense demeanor makes him a hard man to get to know, let alone get close to.



It isn’t until the two of them are thrown together one long, unforgettable night that Kayla realizes there is so much more to this brooding macho man than what meets the eye. But even with sparks flying between the two, Lachlan can’t stay in America forever. Now, Kayla has to decide whether to uproot her whole life and chance it all on someone she barely knows or risk getting burned once again.

Sometimes love is a game that just needs to be played.

Review by Angie:

This is the first book I have read by Gabbie S. Duran but it won't be the last.

Wishful thinking is a heartfelt look into a subject most don't like to think about......(I won't get into that subject, you will just have to read to find out!)

Although sad at times, I wouldn't consider this book a down right tear jerker.  I would consider it more of an uplifting book.

I loved Lexie from page one.  She was such a different character than I was used to.  And Kaleb isn't your typical rock star.  He was amazing!  Put these two together and the chemistry was off the charts.

The side characters where just as great!  From all the different children to Kaleb's bandmates, they all added a little something to the story.  I did feel like there was a lack of someone for Lexie to lean on.  She had her fellow nurses, but none of them really stood out to me as the best friend that Lexie needed.

If you are looking for a uplifting, hopeful book to read.  Wishful Thinking may just be what you are looking for.

Lexie has one goal in life: to grant one last wish for each of her patients. There isn’t a request

she will deny, and has yet to fail to deliver a promise. That is, until the day she goes in search

of the infamous rock star Kaleb Knight, who can’t care less about her life’s ambition, or the

children she is determined to help.

Kaleb has his own dark secrets. He lives each day as if it’s his last, and refuses to spare a

moment of his time to play the part of a knight in shining armor—especially for someone like

Lexie . . . or so he thought. Now, his head and heart are at war, and his soul is screaming she

is exactly what he needs.

Will Lexie be the only one that can save him in the end? Or will he instead succumb to the

darkness threatening to consume him?



Gabbie is a Southern California native, who lives with her wonderful husband, two amazing

kids and a senior citizen kitty. When she’s not writing you can find her reading or sneaking off

for a run. Some might say it’s a crazy life, but she wouldn’t change anything about it.

“Lexie?”

“Yeah, buddy?”

He sucks in a deep breath before saying, “Do you think there are stars in heaven?”

“Of course there are. There is anything your little heart desires.”

“Even my hot fudge sundaes?” His question causes me to lightly laugh. Of course he asks

about his favorite dessert that he has been craving for the past month.

“Even your hot fudge sundaes,” I reply. “Before you know it, you’ll be having a stomach ache

from eating too much sugar.”

This causes his mother to whimper as she struggles against surrendering to the breaking

point. She’s always fought to not break down in front of Braden. She doesn’t want him to see

how upset this entire situation makes her.

He brightens from the response, his eyes returning to the show above us. The entire time my

view is locked on the little angel in front of me, knowing everything I’ve done tonight to make

this possible is still not enough for him. He deserves more. He deserves a lifetime worth of

years to gaze up at the stars, not borrowed hours as we wait, wondering when the end will

come.

Unfortunately, the wait wasn’t long. Braden took his last breath two days later. I was at his

side, holding his mother’s hand when he gave his last smile before closing his eyes for the

final time. He took a piece of my heart with him at that very moment, but they all have.

EXCERPT





Lust and love fought for dominance in his expression when he tore himself away, and he slammed my door shut

and ran around to his side. I didn’t hesitate to shift in my seat, my hand going to the flat, rigid planes of his abdomen as

he shifted hard, tires squealing as he took to the street. I kissed at his neck and teased at his ear, fingers toying with the

waistband of his jeans, while he groaned and tried to focus on the road. 


“You tryin’ to kill me, Shea?” 


I gasped when the car jerked and Sebastian made a sudden, sharp turn, and then another. He screeched to a stop on

a deserted side street. 


A fog of lust clouded my mind as I was yanked back onto his lap, my knees on either side of his legs, his needy

cock grinding at the seam of my cut-off shorts as his mouth overtook mine.


Oh. God.


I moaned, fingers digging into his shoulders.


I arched up and pressed my breasts to his chest. They ached with just a glimmer of the need throbbing between my

thighs. 


Hot hands gripped the outside of my hips, forcing me back down on his dick that strained from his

jeans. 


I might have been on top, but he was definitely in control.


“Fuck, baby…what have you done to me…what have you done to me? Dying to be inside you. Have to feel you.

Need you so bad.” 




“You have me.” 




























































He wanted nothing at all…





Until he found she had

everything to give…





Sunder lead singer and guitarist Sebastian Stone has

everything—fans, fame, and fortune. He also has a heart full of bitterness and

a reputation for a short-fused temper. But an outward reputation rarely reveals

the true man inside. Facing assault charges after trying to protect his younger

brother, Sebastian is sent to Savannah, Georgia to lie low until the dust

settles in L.A.





Shea Bentley is beautiful, kind, and hiding from the

very

lifestyle Sebastian has always embraced.





When the mysterious, tattooed stranger begins hanging

out at the

bar where she works, Shea is quick to recognize he is nothing but trouble, but

she's helpless to the way her body lights up every time his intense gray eyes

tangle with hers.





They both soon find themselves drowning in a sea of

desire and

passion that won’t let them up for air.








Sebastian knows firsthand secrets never die, and he’s

not the only

one who’s hiding them.





Loving someone always comes with a price. But will it

be Shea’s

past that costs them everything?
