Broken Dreams by Kelly Elliott

Courtney Will always dreamed of finding her Prince Charming and living happily ever after, like in the fairy tales she read as a child. Her dreams were shattered one fateful night when her prince turned out to be her worst nightmare. Burying herself in her job as an editor, Courtney tried to forget her past, and she lost hope of ever finding true love.

Reed Moore’s past filled his world with guilt and anger, and then a mistake in college deepened these feelings. Fearing he will one day repeat his father’s mistakes with the woman he loves, Reed has vowed to never give his heart to anyone.

Reed and Courtney have each spent years building walls to guard their hearts, so when their feelings for one another explode into something unexpected, they argue and throw hurtful words at each other in hopes of avoiding the truth.

Will Reed end up being the Prince Charming Courtney has dreamed of her entire life? Is Courtney the woman who will help Reed move past the guilt and anger, so he can embrace love?

Can their broken dreams become their happily ever after?

 I loved Courtney and Reed in Broken so I was excited that they were getting a book just for them. And let me tell you...these two are HOT together. They were a match made in heaven for me.

Both of them had their stubborn streaks and there was drama, but the book to me was a pure love story for the two of them. Although Reed had his doubts that he was good enough for Courtney, he was always loyal and stood by her.

I absolutely love Kelly's writing. I know that when I read one of her books I am going to walk away happy and ready for more!

He reached down and brushed his lips against mine, causing me to let out a soft, low
moan. I pushed my hand through his hair and grabbed a handful, and he let out a moan
of his own. It moved over my body like a warm blanket, and I needed him more than
ever before.

“Courtney…” he whispered in such a seductive voice that I trembled. “I need to make
love to you…right now.”

I pulled on his hair more, and before I knew what was happening, he picked me up and
started walking toward his truck. It took a few seconds for it to sink in that everyone was
whooping and hollering. I buried my face into Reed’s shoulders and started giggling.

“Reed, everyone knows why we are leaving.” I peeked over his shoulder and saw Layton
and Whitley watching us with the goofiest smiles ever on their faces.

I waved good-bye to Whit, and she threw her head back and started laughing. Layton
pulled her to him and whispered something into her ear. If I knew those two, it wouldn’t
be long before they left as well.

By the time we got to Reed’s truck, I almost wanted to put my hand down into my
panties and ease the intense pressure between my legs. He set me down, grabbed the
seat belt, and buckled me in.

I laughed and pushed him away. “I can buckle my own seat belt, cowboy.”

He smiled, and when I felt his hand touch the inside of my thigh, I jumped.
Jesus, the way he makes me feel is unreal.

I looked him up and down. He was dressed in jeans that fit his ass so damn good. The
light blue T-shirt he had on made his eyes look stunningly blue. I could totally lose myself in this man’s eyes.

“Tell me what you want, baby.” He moved his fingertips up and down my thigh oh-so
lightly.

I closed my eyes and pushed his hand up to ease my need. “I want you to make love to
me—now.” When I opened my eyes, I looked into his, and they were on fire.

“I can get us to my place in ten minutes,” he whispered as he looked down at my lips.
I purposely licked them and sucked my bottom lip in between my teeth. He let out a
moan before he quickly shut my door and ran around the front of his truck.

Who is Kelly Elliott?

Really I'm just a wife to a wonderful Texas cowboy who has a nack for making me laugh almost daily and supports my crazy ideas and dreams for some unknown reason...he claims it's because he loves me.....so I'll just go with that one!

I'm also a mom to an amazing daughter who constantly is asking me to make her something to eat while she has her fingers moving like mad on her cell phone sending out what I'm sure is another very important text message!

Oh...and I like to sit down and write in my spare time!

I live in the Texas hill country and one of my favorite things to do is go for hikes around our property with my second favorite man, Gus....my chocolate lab and my sweet girl Rose, our golden retriever. When I'm not outside helping the hubby haul brush or move rocks or whatever fun chore he has in store for me that day, you will find me inside reading, writing or watching HGTV and soaking in a nice hot bubble bath.....yeah that last one I just made up but it sure does sound nice!!!

BOOK PLUG PROMOTIONS

Dazed by Kim Karr

Jagger Kennedy never went looking for fame, he just fell into it. After scoring a major modeling contract, his clean-cut good looks and charm catapulted his career. But when his actress girlfriend breaks his heart, he moves to L.A. to try his hand at acting. He needs to make a change, and the last thing he’s looking for is love…

Aerie Daniels is a woman in control … until she meets Jagger. Her surprising connection with him leaves her stunned, and it’s unlike anything she’s ever felt. But just when she lets her walls fall, she makes a startling discovery about him that breaks her fragile heart into a million pieces.
To keep from losing the one woman he can’t bear to be without, Jagger is willing to give up anything—including his career. But even that might not be enough to regain Aerie’s shattered trust…

Amazon: Dazed: A Connections Novella

 

I was mesmerized once again! Kim Karr is brilliant with Dazed! This sultry love novella has far exceeded my expectations! 

Kim Karr has an amazing way of bringing the story to life in ways I never thought possible! Aerie Daniels has a colored past...... There is a story to tell, a past to get over, can she, will she? Then there is Jagger. 

What is his story? How deep is his pain and can he have the power to push through to Aerie and love? This story covers all the bases with Aerie and Jagger all the while feeding your need for River and Dahlia! 

This fantastic novella gives us a snack while waiting patiently for Mended. I was transported to Laguna beach to enjoy the development of this separate love journey. In The first two books of the Connected series, I was not a huge Aerie fan. She always seemed so serious, pretentious and straight laced. However, Dazed really gives you insight as to Aerie and her past and why she is the way she is. Jagger is a VERY appreciated break in the book. I can almost feel his stormy grey eyes looking into my soul. 

I highly recommend picking up this novella! I give it 5 stars! Let Kim transport you to Laguna into the lives of Aerie and Jagger, feel their love grow and explode onto the pages!

Fighting for Irish Alternate Trailer and Outtake Reel

So last summer, Gina Maxwell and I were talking about how fun it would be to make a trailer and shoot all of the footage live with the cover models. We started our dream, but like all things in life - things come up. So when I got a call from her at the end of February saying -COME NOW! I did!

I can not even begin to describe how much fun I had shooting the Fighting for Irish trailer for Gina.  It was a fun weekend - Adam and Brenna and the rest of the "Crew" were troopers as I drug them back and forth with scenes and locations. Boy this Texas girl was freezing her hinny off in Wisconsin, but it was well worth it!

So here is the exclusive RE-MIX of the 
Fighting for Irish Trailer! 
Hope you enjoy it! 

Want to see what went on behind the scenes? Here is out outtake reel!

He’ll fight for her life. She’ll fight for his love.

Former MMA fighter Aiden “Irish” O’Brien hasn’t stepped into the ring since he accidentally took someone’s life in the heat of rage. When his friend calls in a favor that sends him south to check on family, Irish figures he’s got nothing to lose. His life is on the ropes. The least he can do is make sure the sexy redhead is safe.

Kat MacGregor has forty-eight hours to settle the twenty thousand dollar debt her deadbeat ex-boyfriend owes a crime boss. If she doesn’t, she’ll pay for it—with her life. Kat’s halfway out the door when a sexy new guy walks into the bar and insists he’s there to help.

Irish is forced to fight in the underground MMA circuit to win the money she needs. But he’s been lying to Kat. About who he is, about knowing her sister, about why he comes home bruised every night. She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to him, but breaking her trust will cost him the most important fight of his life: the one for her heart.

Dear Tabitha is BOOK TWO in the Forever Family Series. Dear Emily should be read FIRST as this is NOT a standalone book.

You know me. You know who I am. What I am.

Damaged. Confused. Alone.

You feel sorry for me. You pity me.

You know what I’ve done. What I’ve given up. Who I’ve given up.

You try to understand what I’ve been through and how I can go on with my life. But you can’t possibly understand.

I’ve lost too much. Sacrificed too much. Given up everything so that I can find myself.

Well, I’m done.

I’m done walking away from everything that matters.

It’s time for me to heal.

It’s MY TURN to earn…

Redemption.
Love.
Family.

Find out in Friends Wanting Benefits. A prequel series to the Friends With Benefits series.

 iTunes: bit.ly/1hsC7b6
Amazon: http://amzn.to/O6VdL4

 

The prequel to Friends with Partial Benefits introduces us to Victoria and Jillian and the beginning of their friendship.

This was a different read, being that it was the first romance novel I have read by a male author. It was nice to read a man's POV on romance and I really enjoyed the book. There were some genuine laugh out loud moments and Victoria was a riot!

Jillian is a romance author with a seventeen year marriage that is anything but sexy and fun. Trying to put a little romance back into her marriage, she invites her husband to go on a book signing cruise with her.

Thirty-nine year old Victoria is living life to the fullest. After the death of her husband, she decided to take a walk on the wild side, so she brings along her 21 year old friend, Ethan, to have a little fun while on a cruise.

Jillian and Victoria cross paths and soon become friends. And lets just say, they find themselves in quite the predicaments to make you laugh.

I am really looking forward to reading the rest of the series to see what adventures Victoria and Jillian can get into. 

 

To set the scene, Miss Victoria and Miss Jillian are on a cruise ship where they just met and are, of course, becoming fast friends. Victoria, while trying to put a spark in Jillian and George's not so great marriage, sorta is responsible for getting Jillian in the middle of an international incident. Below is a scene where Victoria "thinks" she got Jillian off the hook by sorta conning the captain of the ship and she's telling her how she did it.

Jillian shook her head, confused. "Wait a second, he gave you access to everything?"

"Uh-huh."

"Didn't he ask you to show him some identification or credentials or anything?"

"He did." Victoria folded her arms.

"So, how did you—"

"I showed him something else," she interrupted wearing a smug expression.

What did you show him?"

"Well, a better question might be— what didn't I show him."

"I don't understand." Jillian shook her head, confused.

"First I gave him the Sharon Stone Basic Instinct treatment."

"Oh…"

"But the situation called for more."

"More?"

"Yeah, then I…" Victoria made quote marks with her fingers, "… dropped my purse and when I bent over the chair to get it, he may have gotten a look at everything and he was only about four feet away."

"Wow."

"Yeah, after that he was mine. He probably would have let me steer the ship if I'd asked."

"You're unbelievable."

"I am."

"That's just amazing." Jillian scoffed.

"Women don't fully realize the power they possess. Let me see… How do I put this delicately?" Victoria took a moment to craft her words. "With great… pussy comes great responsibility."

"What?" Jillian chuckled. "Wait, isn't that from Spiderman?"

"Well, yeah, but I don't think Uncle Ben used the word pussy."

"Obviously not. So what are you saying?"

"I mean, by harnessing the power of your, let's call it, womanhood, women can accomplish great things."

"Like?"

"Like, um, getting out of speeding tickets, escaping from jury duty and sometimes convincing a captain of a major ocean liner you're an F.B.I. agent in order to derail a criminal investigation."

"Wow." Jillian gazed out to the ocean through the balcony door.

"Yeah." Victoria nodded. "You really should embrace the power of your own pussy."

"I never thought about it that way."

"You know God gave women a special gift. Whether you are super-model thin, normal or even overweight— naked and bent over at just the right angle the female form can change the world."

Luke Young is the Kindle and iTunes bestselling author of the Friends With Benefits series as well as the inexplicably forgotten novel Chances Aren't. Oh, and the missunderstood Chocolate Covered Billionaire Navy SEAL... we almost forgot about that one too.

Young’s Friends With Benefits novels are filled with passion, longing, comedy, and, yes, sex. His relationship comedies feature strong, sexy female characters — women who seize every opportunity for fun and don’t let a little thing like age stand in the way of love or desire. In each book Young sets different wheels in motion, applying his comedic touch and pitch-perfect ear for playful couples’ banter. The result is warm, funny, sexy storytelling at its best.

Young got his start writing screenplays, which earned the praise of contest judges while never quite making it to the “green light.” He adapted his second screenplay into a novel and found himself hooked on the new form. Since then, he’s released five novels, one novella, and one short story.

Young’s prolific nature is a gift to fans across the globe who have enthusiastically embraced the Friends With…Benefits series. This fan support has driven the books up the Kindle bestseller lists. If you enjoy romance, sex, and unexpected hilarity, you will love Young’s books.
