Excerpt

Tugging off her shirt, she smiled. Gone were the compression bras; she didn’t burn them, but they were hauled off with the trash shortly after the infamous refrigerator sex. Lace, satin, and underwire took their place.
“What you’re doing right now feels more intimate than anything you’ve ever done to me with your mouth.”
“We’ll see about that.” He wet his lips, eyeing her white lace bra. Approval glimmered in his eyes.
She removed the rest of her clothes, eager to be in his arms. He took a step back as she moved toward him.
“Stop.”
She froze. Her hands searched for a place to be: hanging idle at her sides, covering her breasts, shielding her neatly-shaven pussy?
“Repeat after me.”
“What?” Her voice squeaked with disbelief.
He grinned as his ego gobbled up her confidence. “I’m beautiful.”
Ryn squinted.
“Say it.”
She sighed. “I’m beautiful.”
“I’m taking back every bit of confidence that bastard took from me.”
It would never happen like that, but someone who hadn’t been in her shoes could never understand. However, she loved the naked man standing before her for saying it.
“I’m taking back every bit of confidence that bastard took from me.”
“I’m worthy of happiness.”
That one hit harder than it should have. She’d never given happiness much thought.
“Say it.”
“I’m … I’m worthy of happiness.”
“I’m going to marry Jackson Knight and love him in spite of his multiple fucked-up personalities.”
“Jackson—”
“Say it.” His voice carried a rare pain and vulnerability.
“I’m going to marry Jackson Knight…” she stepped closer and rested her hands on his chest “…and I’m going to love Every. Single. One. Of his fucked-up personalities.”
“I’ve had a shit day,” he whispered, brushing his thumb along her cheek. “Until now.”
She nodded slowly, then looked up at him. “I’ve had a shit life … until now.”
“Touch me,” he said.
“Where?”
“Everywhere. Make me feel human again.”

REVIEW


Dawn of Forever (Jack & Jill, #3)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




From the way this series has gone, I had no idea what to expect with this last book. I was correct in feeling that way. It totally went places that I did not see coming.

Through all the books, relationships have been a central focus—Jude and Jessica with their parents; Jessica and Luke; Jude's inability to commit; Jackson and Ryn; Jillian and A.J. There are so many important points of focus. DOF adds more connections and angles into the mix. I adore the romances. Luke goes above and beyond. He's so devoted and nerdy hot. A.J. is strong and giving. Jackson and Ryn together is a swooning situation, especially for us ladies who aren't spring chickens anymore. The sweetest of all for me is the love Jackson has for his sister.

The past and present collide in a big way in this final installment. The storyline is given from multiple characters' POV in past and present. Everything is explained, but it's a winding trail on the way to those conclusions. Old information comes to the surface. People die. Some scenes slide toward dark, and some are beautiful.

Dawn of Forever is full of shocking scenes, heart moments and unforgettable characters. I definitely recommend it.

Strong Signal by Megan Erickson & Santino Hassell Review




I was counting down the months until the end of my deployment. My days were spent working on military vehicles, and I spent my nights playing video games that would distract me until I could leave Staff Sergeant Garrett Reid behind.

That was when I met him: Kai Bannon, a fellow gamer with a famous stream channel.

I never expected to become fixated on someone who'd initially been a rival. And I'd never expected someone who oozed charm to notice me—a guy known for his brutal honesty and scowl. I hadn't planned for our online friendship to turn into something that kept me up at night—hours of chatting evolving into filthy webcam sessions.

But it did. And now I can't stop thinking about him. In my mind, our real life meeting is perfect. We kiss, we fall into bed, and it's love at first sight.

Except, like most things in my life, it doesn't go as planned.

*Strong Signal is a standalone, full-length novel with no cliffhanger*

Megan Erickson is a former journalist who switched to fiction when she decided she liked writing her own endings better. She likes to pretend she has control now, but usually her characters are the ones who hold the reins. Her romance novels have a touch of humor, a dash of nerdy, and always a happily ever after.

She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, two kids, and two cats named after John Hughes characters. She's still waiting for the party she was promised when she grew to five feet... maybe because she never got there.

REVIEW

Strong Signal (Cyberlove #1)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Garrett is really gruff. He doesn't have much use for most people. To combat the uncertainty in his life, he unwinds with a popular MMORPG. Kai is the belle of the ball in his side of the gaming universe. He has loads of fans and interaction on Twitch, but his person-to-person life is a different story.

I love how realistic the characters and scenes are. The flow is seamless, and my connection with the storyline takes no effort. The flaws and difficulties make the men relatable and speak to me on a human level. They deal with real life issues like finding employment and social anxiety.

I honestly was not expecting the depth Garrett and Kai gave. Without realizing I was getting to that point, I found myself totally wrapped up in their relationship and falling hard. Oh, the romantic feels, and I even shed a few tears. I don't think they could have found in another what they have together, but they still face their relationship realistically.

Strong Signal is a beautiful fairytale and real world romance simultaneously. It is a must read.
