Title: Notes & Confessions (The Broadway Series Book 3)
Author: Alissa York
Genre: Romance







Briggs Layton is the underdog, it’s been that way since birth, but coming in four minutes behind his superior brother, Beck, has never bothered him. Briggs being burned, literally and figuratively by Beck is a different story. With a failed almost marriage, a sick mother, and a party-boy brother, Briggs goes through life in a bit of a haze. Work, home, and taking notes about everything he observes takes up all his time. Until he sees her. 
Harriet Wolfe is homeless, carless, loveless, and alone. And all in one week. What else is a girl to do when Karma kicks her down again? She starts over. With a couple of bags, a scrap of paper reminding her what to do, and one single friend across the country, Harriet gets on a bus and doesn’t look back. A fresh start far away from her former life is just what she needs. She quickly acclimates and makes a family of her own, but one notebook and a dark cloud from her old life threaten to tear it all apart.



 















Alissa is a mom, wife, and dog groomer by day. At night she is posted at her laptop writing contemporary romance. She has a soft spot for gooey romance, over-creamed coffee, and anything cute and furry.

Title: Crave: Part Two
Series: Crave Duet #2
Author: E.K. Blair
Genre: New Adult Romance/Coming of Age
Release Date: October 16, 2017

Weeks became months, and months became years. Each day nudged Kason deeper into his addiction. Each memory of the girl destroyed fed the craving for what he could never have again. 


Leaving a life-altering first love behind, Adaline tried moving forward to find love and trust and happiness. Pain eventually faded, wounds slowly healed, yet scars were forever left behind.

But some scars feel like kisses.

When the shattered pieces of their hearts are forced to meet again, the two of them must decide how much pain their love is worth enduring.

This is what happens when one person loves beyond the craving and the other craves beyond the loving.

BY SHABNAM ARORA 




Adeline is a victim. In the end of book 1, she's victimised and this book starts from there. The horrific assault she suffers leaves her body and soul shattered . She withdraws in her shell, gets depressed and starts avoiding people. Her mom, her lover, her friends , her classes. And she fails on every count. This is what happens to assault victims. 

She’s drifting, and I don’t know why.

The pathos is the central heroine of the story. For The uphill ardous task , that is recovery ,The courage has to come from within. Ady is not in a state of togetherness of her mind yet. Shes going through the stages of post trauma
Denial
Anger
Depression
Bargaining
Acceptance
The toughest being bargaining, cause she bargains her heart to the abuse. She literally crushes it under her own foot.
I was flabbergasted, hated Ady so much. She had so much support and love all around her, but I guess her trust was broken and she lashed out and recoiled from it.
Kason Stratton. O. M. G. Whenever he came to the scene, I cried my heart out. This guy has suffered so much .. his own horrific past and now Ady withdrawing, it's like God is stabbing and then twisting the knife ! He's seeking solace and reprieve but it comes wrapped with shame and guilt
I cried and sobbed and bawled for him
I kneeled and pleaded and begged with him
I crumbled, I went to hell, I lost myself after him

"I’m so alone, so miserable, so damn pathetic. Shameful, uncontrollable, and possibly even unlovable. Maybe it just took her this long to realize it.
My body is its own machine, and I gave up on it a long time ago. It calls the shots, not me. It drives me from one high to the next. When I’m not high, I’m consumed with shame. And when that happens, I drink to become numb. And it’s somewhere between those three emotions that I bury myself in work and school."

He's a fantastically created tragic hero. One you want to cuddle, hug and envelop in your arms. 
EK has angst pouring out of her proverbial pen. The discerning grief just casts a gloomy grey cloud over the story and excruciating pain is just soaked with tears. 
The central theme is courage and conviction, to fight your demons, you have to leave the dark and step into the light , as excruciating as the steps maybe. Just one foot after the other !
I'm not a YA / NA fan at all. Yet this story touched me. Especially Micah and Kason.
It's a cry fest so get the tissue box handy people.

Blurb

They say we’re all time travelers in one way or another, and with every passing second, we alter the next second. Time is simply something lost in our own memories. You can’t see it, you can’t touch it, you can’t control it, and you can’t change it. It’s in a place where you can’t right your wrongs. A place where your history is in front of you, and there is nothing you can do about it. You can only move forward to the next second, and you certainly can’t go back. Unless you accidentally meet a crazy little lady named Shotgun Roxy with a magic wand that is. One second I was a normal, middle-aged woman, living a normal everyday life, and the next … I found myself cast into a play with a parade of a characters from another time without a script. Was I dead? Was I in Heaven? Was Heaven in the eighties? Once Upon Another Time by Bestselling Author Jettie Woodruff © 2017

Excerpt

“I’m not a child. We’re practically the same age. What should I call you?” “People call me Shotgun Roxy. You can call me Roxy.” I followed her to the back of the store, feeling a little let down. “Roxy?” “You don’t like Roxy?” “Sure. I mean, I guess. I was just expecting something like Madame Cleopatra or something more powerful.” Roxy tossed her head back and laughed. “I like that. Maybe I’ll change my name. Now, tell me. How have you been?”

[Release Blitz] We Were Memories by Brandi Aga




Title: We Were Memories
Author: Brandi Aga
Genre: Romance
Release Date: October 10, 2017



Blurb


Someone once told me never leave the one you love for the one you like…

...you just might get something more out of that relationship than you bargained for.

I should have listened…

I never should have stepped foot on that airplane…

But I did.

Sins come in all shapes and sizes. My biggest sin to date comes in the form of sex, tattoos, and Harleys. Roman Blackhart, owner of Blackhart Custom Motorcycles, is all about living life in the fast lane. Our relationship went from zero to one hundred in the blink of an eye. Only problem is, I have a secret. A secret so deep it’s pulling me in two different directions.

Now we’re 1,400 miles of memories and broken hearts. I just hope it’s not too late to put all the pieces back together again.
