Title: Nerdy Girl Nation (Nerdy Girl Novels #1)
Author: Lindsey Gray
Expected Release Date: October 8th, 2015
Available Formats: Print and eBook
Cover Design by T.M. Franklin


 
Summary
Who knew the girl who spent most of her Saturday nights watching Doctor Who marathons with her best friend would end up becoming a reality television star? Not Emma MacLean.
Emma tried to leave the nerdy girl behind as the Vice President of Operations for billionaire venture capitalist, Terrance Hunt, on the hit show Hunt for Life. When double tragedies occur on the same day, Emma is out of a job, but the cameras and a nation of fans continue to follow her.
Rob "Bobby" Breyer lived and breathed the professional wrestling circuit for five years. Rob happens to be a devoted Hunt for Life fan due to a chance meeting with Emma while in high school. When he reaches out to Emma in her time of crisis, he never imagines how much it will change his life.

After twelve years, their attraction still sizzles and this time, Rob's not letting Emma get away. As the cameras roll, Emma's new career and Rob's quest for glory are in the spotlight. When the heat is on, they'll need all the support they can get from the Nerdy Girl Nation.

Exclusive Excerpt
"Seven AM looks good on you," Rob remarked when he sat down in the stylist chair next to Emma.

"Thanks," Emma snorted. She wore a hoodie with her favorite pair of worn jeans and a purple tee shirt with Bazinga printed across the front. With little sleep and even less time, she threw her hair up into a messy bun. Along with her black framed glasses, she seemed more like a nerdy teenager than a sophisticated reality star.

“I just wanted to say sorry about the question the other night. I really wasn’t meaning to stir anything up with Big Bobby. Bill is a good friend and I have a lot of respect for him.” Emma gave the entire speech while playing with her hoodie strings and avoiding eye contact with everyone in the room.

“You know Bill?” Rob asked.

“Um, yeah.” She glanced up to see the confusion on Rob’s face. “He owns a gym in LA. I’ve been training there for about five years.”

“So, Harry really wasn’t kidding when he said you have skills in the ring?”

“Bill seems to think I’m pretty good. I just do it for me mostly. It’s hard enough going into the ring in a skirt and heels. I don’t think I could do it in the scraps of material the Bombshells do.”

They both turned when the door opened and saw their photographer, Gwen, approaching.

Rob leaned in close enough to whisper. “We will talk about this later.”

"You two ready to do this?" Gwen asked when she approached them.

Emma leaned in to check herself out in the mirror. "Might take a couple of hours and several layers of makeup. Hope you cleared your schedule."

Gwen laughed along with Rob. "Don't worry. Angela has everything she needs to get you together. Tom is getting your suit, Rob. Make yourselves comfortable." Gwen patted both of their shoulders and left to set up her equipment for the photo shoot.

"I need coffee to get comfortable," Emma moaned while she rubbed her temples.

"Lucky for you, I picked some up on my way over." Rob held out a large to go cup of coffee to her.

She turned and accepted the drink with a smile. "Thanks."

One sip of the warm, rich liquid calmed her nerves.

"Ahhhh. I didn't drink any this morning. I could kiss you for this."

"I wouldn't be opposed to kissing you. I’d kiss you even with coffee breath."

She turned to Rob and took in his smile with his dimpled, unshaven cheeks. Beyond him, she saw the camera lens. The early hour and his alluring blue eyes made her forget millions of people would eventually see their exchange.

"Not today, big boy." She attempted to laugh it off.

"That's not never." He winked at her.

I’m so screwed.

#TeaserTuesday The Lonely Girl by Gracie Wilson




#TeaserTuesday


What if one day you woke up and found your heart had been shattered? You lost the one person you loved more than anything. What happens when you learn to move on even though you thought you'd never be able to again? Is it worth the risk to try and let someone in? Is it better to be left alone then take the chance of more heartache? This time will be different. Becca slowly starts to put the shattered pieces of her heart back together only to have it broken again by someone she trusted. Can her heart that was barely healed in the first place be fixed, again? Becca falls for someone new, but will her heart be safe. Will she survive the secrets that come out from the past? Love is worth the risk. Can she really believe that? The question is: is he worth the risk?


Excerpt 
I wipe my tears off my face hoping I’m not going to display an ugly cry face when I turn to see this man. 

 “Yeah, it really is beautiful.” 

When my eyes catch his I’m thrown back by the mere sight of him and gasp. God, is there something in the food here? He’s beautiful and not in a girlie way. He has the most piercing hazel eyes you can imagine. What my friends from back home would call ‘panty droppers’. He’s slim, but built, and I’d say slightly over six feet. He’s got honey brown hair that sweeps to the side, with what looks like permanent helmet head, but it’s so sexy. He gives me a sexy smirk and I know he’s flirting. 

“Oh, yeah, the water is beautiful too.” 

I find myself wanting to giggle like the high schooler I am, but I’m so shocked he’s talking about me that I just turn and face the water again. I hear the crunch of the ground behind me and for a second I think he’s leaving but then I see him sit next to me. 

“What’s got a beautiful girl like you out here and all upset?”

#Review Georgia On My Mind by Marie Force


Title: Georgia On My Mind
Author: Marie Force
Rating: 4 stars

Those of you who follow my reviews know that I am a fan of Marie Force's stories and Georgia On My Mind didn't disappoint. Unlike the other stories from this author I've read this is a standalone novel. It centers around Georgia, a woman struggling to come to terms with her mother's death, and Nathan, a local detective and the youngest of six brothers. 

I loved Georgia (Georgie) and Nathan. It was easy to understand her struggle with her life, family, and her developing relationship with Nathan. And as for Nathan...well he was pretty amazing book boyfriend material. He had his flaws, but is one of those people who has so much passion behind what they do that it's easy to forgive them when they go overboard with something. 

As with most of Marie Force's other books, there was more than one story going on. We not only got to follow the romance of Nathan and Georgie, but also that of two of Nathan's brothers with Georgie's two roommates. While I enjoyed the other two romances, I felt it drew the focus away from Nathan and Georgie. It is, however, a common theme in Ms. Force's books. 

The editing was on point and other than the issues I mentioned above, the story had a good flow to it. 

I would recommend this story to anyone looking for a good romance and doesn't mind multiple point of view changes.

 "Oh shit!" I didn't know what to do with myself, and was thankful Gage was standing in front of me, hiding my modesty. "Just fucking great." I groaned as I hid my face in his chest. It was then I realised we were still connected . . . physically. "Don't ever hide like that." Gage lifted my head up to face him and gave me a gentle kiss before turning his head to look back at the girl still standing behind us. "Can we help you?" He wasn't smiling, and the effect was a little scary. "How could you do this to me?" she spat. "I asked you to introduce me, but really you just wanted to keep them to yourself. Who's next? Matt? Eli? Hey, how about Drew, even though he’s married?" "Woah woah. Hang on there a minute, lady. For one, I never said I was going to introduce you to anyone; If you remember, I gave you advice, which is more than most people would do. As for who or what I do is none of your business." I felt Gage's body shake as he started to laugh silently. "I can get you a quiet place with Callaghan if you so desire." He sniggered, making my body shake against the table. I punched him on the arm, which only made him laugh harder.

#Review Hot Mess by Lynn Raye Harris #Romance


Title: Hot Mess
Author: Lynn Raye Harris
Rating: 5 stars

I recently read and reviewed the first book in Lynn Raye Harris' HOT series, Hot Pursuit, and enjoyed it so much that when I saw the second book was on sale I had to snatch it up. This book had less suspense and more romance than the first book, which from my view only made it better. I don't mind a little mystery and suspense in my books but I want the romance to be the driving force. That's exactly what Hot Mess offers.

Unlike Hot Pursuit, Hot Mess is a novella, but don't think that takes away from the story. I loved Sam and Georgie. The build up was nicely done.

Another thing about this series that I love is that the author doesn't have these women try to change their men. There is another series that I'm reading where the heroes have dangerous jobs, just like the ones in this series. But in that one it ends with the men leaving their profession for less dangerous jobs in order to make their woman happy. I'm very pleased that isn't the case with this series.

Good editing and great story telling in this one. I can't honestly think of one thing I would change...except maybe making it a little longer so we could have more of Sam and Georgie. Lynn Raye Harris is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great military romance.
