“Mae,” Bella whispered as I walked from the changing room and stood on the elevated plinth opposite my friends and sisters. The mirror was behind me, but I did not yet dare look at my reflection. I glanced at Bella sat beside Ruth, her mother-in-law and Rider’s mama. Her eyes were filling with tears as she stared at me. Her hands were in front of her mouth.
“Do you like it?” I ran my hand over my pronounced stomach.
Bella nodded. “You are perfect,” she whispered. Ruth nodded in agreement.
I looked at Maddie. “Madds?”
She smiled warmly. “You are beautiful, Mae, this dress only enhances that. But this gown could not suit you more if you tried.”
“Styx will love it,” Lilah said and held Grace tighter on her lap.
“You look like a Disney princess,” Grace said.
A hand came down on my arm. I turned to see Beauty behind me. “You ever gonna look in the mirror, darlin’?” She smiled. This boutique belonged to a friend of Beauty’s, and Beauty had practically organized my wedding for me. I was clueless where to even begin.
“You look good, Mae.” I smiled at Letti as she sat uncomfortably on the couch. She had told me she was here to support me, but she had no opinion in such matters as wedding dress shopping. Or anything girly, she’d said affectionately.
“Turn, honey,” Lilah said and I nodded my head. I had no idea why I was so nervous. I knew that Styx loved me and I loved him. I felt as though I had been waiting for this day my whole life. That I had been waiting for the day I finally cemented him as mine. Forever mine, and me forever his.
Closing my eyes, I turned, allowing Beauty to guide me. “You ready?” she whispered. I pulled up the image of Styx in my mind. Me in his arms as we lay in bed. His large tattooed arms holding me close as we spoke. His voice gruff and deep. Then I pictured us laughing. The infamous Hangmen Mute of the Hades Hangmen, so different with me than with anybody else. To others he was aloof, silent, and menacing. But to me, he was loving, caring, and the most beautiful soul in the world.
The other half of my heart.

{ Release Blitz & Giveaway } BEFORE WE FALL by MELISSA TOPPEN

Title: How We Fall
Author: Melissa Toppen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 21, 2017
It’s not always about how we fall- it’s about where we end up once we land.
I remember the very first time I laid eyes on Cole Lincoln. It still feels like yesterday when he stumbled into my life with his messy brown hair and dark eyes. Even though I was only ten years old at the time, I knew right then and there that he was going to change everything.
From that point on Cole and I were always together—inseparable—and I naively believed we’d be best friends forever. But forever didn’t last nearly as long as I expected.
We grew up and grew apart, life driving the distance between us, but my love for Cole never faltered. Even long after he moved away, leaving me and our little town behind, I still carried a piece of him with me every single day. Because Cole wasn’t just my childhood best friend- the boy who knew me better than anyone else in the whole world. He was also my first love- a part of my very core.
When a tragic death brings us face to face again after six years, every single memory comes rushing to the surface. Only this is not the boy I fell in love with all those years ago. The man before me is hardened, intimidating, and so damn sexy I practically melt when those dark eyes meet mine for the first time in six years.
And like the first time he walked into my life, I know with complete certainty that everything is about to change.

{ Blog Tour & Book Review } GHOST IN HIS EYES by CARRIE AARONS





Title: Ghost in His Eyes

Author: Carrie Aarons

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 23, 2017























He was as magnetic as a deadly hurricane to the shore.



Carson Cole was my first love. The boy I'd shared my whole self with.



He was the man who'd taken the other part of my soul and drowned it in the sea we'd grown up in.



And now he's back. Ten years later, and the demons of our past are still haunting every breath trapped between us.



She was as wild as the horses who owned the beach highways we drove down.



Blake Sayer was the beautiful daredevil who had me wrapped around her finger from the time we were seven.



Until a horrible accident stole every piece of joy from her life.



Ten years later, she's a shell of the girl she once was, and it's all my fault. The whispers of our history shackle her to the island I left behind.



Just like lost years and unspoken words, love had slipped from our fingers like grains of sand. We’d barely made it out alive last time, was it even possible to reconstruct the shattered pieces of us?


































Author of romance novels such as Red Card and On Thin Ice, Carrie Aarons writes sexy, swoony and sarcastic characters who won't get out of her head until she puts them down on a page.


Carrie has wanted to be an author since the first time she opened a book, and can’t imagine a better or more maddening profession.


When she isn't in a writing coma, Carrie is chasing her Great Dane/Lab puppy through the dog parks of New Jersey, or trying to make her husband binge watch the latest Netflix craze.












BY LAURA LEE

What an emotional ride this book took me on! How much can a person suffer through in their lifetime before something good happens in their life. If it ever does…. This is a story of 3 young kids growing up together, forming a bond between the three of them that cannot be broken. One night after a tragedy, lives are changed forever. Words are said that can’t be taken back. A trio of friendship has been broken… 

Now 10 years later, Carson is back in town. He was Blake’s first love, first everything. Yet the past has separated them. Who would have ever thought that he would return to the place that tore the three of them apart.

Blake has spent the past 10 years as a hermit. Unable to get past what happened that destroyed her life, her family, her first love. But now that she has seen Carson in the grocery store. She is fearful of what might happen now that he’s back. 

This story is a second chance standalone contemporary romance. Carrie Aarons describes the scenery perfectly and tells the story of 2 hurt, lost individuals who truly have loved each other since they were 7 years old.
