Love, Lies & The D.A

Synopsis

Jada McLean is about to get married in nine days, when she walks in on her fiancé in a little more than a compromising position. Days later, she’s on a trip that she intends to be relaxing and a prelude to her fresh start, when she runs into the rude, obnoxious, but gorgeous Jonathan Kole.
Jonathan Kole is San Francisco’s newest District Attorney. When he finds himself deeply attracted to a stunning beauty, he has no idea that she’s about to get into BIG trouble with the law—and he’ll be the one presiding over her trial. To make matters worse, his father is the lawyer representing her in the high-profile case.
When a series of events force them together over New Year’s weekend, Jonathan’s feelings and ethics will come into question, while Jada comes to terms with the fact that she is falling for the man that will be responsible for attempting to put her behind bars… Little do they know, they're both about to fall into a whirlwind so deep, it will send both their lives spiraling out of control.

What I Think

When I started this book I had the thought that it was going to be like all the others that i have read lately but to my surprise it was much better.

This book made me laugh and cry like a little baby and not many books can do that to me, you get so involved with the main characters that it feels like you are going through it yourself.

Rebecca is a amazing author that this happens when you read her stories. Jada And Jonathan will be in your hearts for a long time after you have read it. You will see once you read it i cant say to much because I many give something away that you didn't see coming. hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I recommend this and the rest of the books Rebecca writes to me followers.

About The Author

Clara Kensie grew up near Chicago, reading every book she could find and using her diary to write stories about a girl with psychic powers who solved mysteries. She purposely did not hide her diary, hoping someone would read it and assume she was writing about herself. Since then, she's swapped her diary for a computer and admits her characters are fictional, but otherwise she hasn't changed one bit.

Today Clara is the author of romantic paranormal thrillers for young adults. Her first book, RUN TO YOU, a super-sized three-part serial from HarlequinTEEN, begins February 1 2014 with weekly releases. The sequel, also a super-sized three-part serial, begins June 1 2014.

Her favorite foods are guacamole and cookie dough. But not together. That would be gross.

What I Think

Run To You part I: First Sight

This book surprised me at first didn't think it as going to start like it did but i'm glad it did as it hooked me i love the thrill of what is going to happened next makes you want to read more before putting it down, i must say this book give me a book hungover i haven't had one of them in a while i was happy to have one if the rest of the parts are going to be the this first one you have very happy readers. i was going to start the second part right away but needed sleep. The story follows a family running and hiding for someone that is out to kill them, im still not 100% sure why but hoping it will come out in the second book which i think i alot will.  

Run To You Part II: Second Glance

I started this book the next morning after finishing the first one and once again i could not put it down. the story gets more into everything. i want to tell you so much but that will be unfair for you as it will give away most of the middle of the story but there is secerts that will make you think why didnt i see that or if you did see it, it will make you say i so knew it. i cant say anything bad about any of the books. 

Run To You Part III: Third Charm

i just cant believe what Tessa went though in this book the emotions you go through with her amazing writing by the author and now i cant wait until the last three parts come out and it cant come quick enough i was hook on this series from the the first word. and if the last three parts are anything like these it is going to be a amazing story. Clara Kensie is a awesome author and cant wait to read more of her work. 

 i give this series a 4 readers rating because it had me hooked from the first word of the first book and i cant wait for the rest to read..

Book Ratings

I highly recommend this series to any one that likes romance / thrillers.

Author Interview with A.L. Jackson

Before I get started with the interview i would like to thank A.L Jackson for taking the time out from writing to do this with me, she is a amazing author, one of my favorite authors and i'm so glad i know her.

What is the hardest thing about writing?

Definitely the amount of time it takes me. I’m a very slow writer, which can get frustrating.

Have you ever had writers block - if so what got you through it?

I usually take a break and read. There’s nothing like reading to fuel the imagination.

Do you read much or at all?

Yes, tons. I try to spend at least a couple hours reading before I go to bed each night.

If you do read who/what are your favorite Authors/Genre?

I love romance, any romance, but lately I’ve been reading a lot of NA Romance. My faves are Molly McAdams and Colleen Hoover.

Do you read your books review?

I only follow the reviews on my blog tours. I realize that not everyone is going to love my books, but negative reviews can definitely damage our creativity and cause us to question ourselves, so I try to be careful not to get into that.

If you were asked for advise from a aspiring writer what would you tell them?

Definitely to make sure you love writing and you’re doing it for the right reasons. Publishing is a difficult industry with a lot of ups and downs, but it is totally worth it if you love what you do.

Which Authors inspire you?

Oh my goodness, so many. I love reading the stories of fellow indie authors and how they’ve made it.

Tell us a bit about yourself?

Well let’s see…I’m married to my soul mate…still madly in love after almost twenty years. I have three amazing babies who aren’t quite babies anymore, but they’re my world.

How does it feel to have your work published?

AMAZING!!

I watched that video of you seeing your work on the shelf,  i thought it was awesome to see how much it means to the authors of the books. we don't get to it see that much. Thank you for sharing that with us.

Do you still like writing as much as you did when you first started?

Oh that’s a tough one…both yes and no. When I wrote Pulled, my first book, I did it with no expectations. So there was a lot of freedom in that and it was new and exciting, and definitely is one of the best memories of my life. And I truly still love writing. I just have to look at it a bit differently since it’s now my job. It adds new stresses, but it’s still something I adore doing.

Where is your favorite place to write if you have one?

I usually write at my kitchen table. Weird, right? Especially when I have a separate office and a writing cove in my bedroom. But I find I stay the most alert when I’m out in the middle of things.

If you weren't writing what else do you be doing?

Oh goodness, I don’t even know. That sounds like a nightmare ;)

What is your comfort food?

Mashed potatoes and gravy. YUUUUUUM!

Do you use a Pen name or real name?

Pen name

Do you listen to music when you write?

Usually to get me in the mood, but typically turn it off one I get absorbed in my characters.

The funnest thing happened at a signing?

Oh this is ongoing… I know everyone’s faces but can never remember their names.

The Scariest thing happened at a signing?

Ahh well that would be on the way to a signing. We had to leave our hotel in the middle of the night and went to my car to head to the airport and had a guy who obviously didn’t have good intentions approach us. Let’s just say I’d never gotten my car in gear as fast as I did then.

What I Think

I really liked this book the characters are just like you would find if you ran into them down the street (but they wouldn't be seen shopping for themselves) Jordan is just like the rest of the family all stuckup but Maura and her grandfather weren't like the rest they seen people as themselves not were they came from or how much money they had.

Jordan and Maura went to Paradise Cove every summer were a lot of the kids they knew did. She loved it there she met Nate there he was the Maids son. every year they would hang out with each other when Maura got older she seen Nate differently she started falling for him and him for her. but something happened and Maura didnt come back to Paradise Cove for five years.

 She was graduating very soon and out of the blue Ethan, Jordan's best friend rang her and said he is in town and would love to catch up, she went out for dinner with him. one thing lead to another and they were seeing each other. Maura had been thinking that she should go back to the Cove as her grandmother was getting older and she didnt know how long she would be alive.

Im not going to say anything else as it will give things away and it is a really nice read
I gave this book a 4 readers rating it is on my must read list for this year.

Book Info

Series: Monsters in the Dark, #2

Genre: Erotic/Dark Romance

Release Date: December 15, 2013

“You need me like I need you. I get it,” she murmured.

I ducked and nuzzled her throat, teeth aching to break her skin and lick. “And why is that?” My hand reached to cup her neck, not squeezing—just a gentle coax, reminding her she was in my power.

Her mouth opened and her body melted against mine. “Because…” 

My body burned for her; my ears strained for her answer. “Because…” I licked her lips, begging her to finish her sentence. I had to hear why she cared. It meant the world to me. 

I would never have cared about another person loving me before. Now, I needed it more than anything.

Tess kissed me back, whispering into my mouth. “Because you’re my monster in the dark, and I’m yours.”

What I Think

Tears of Tess puts you through so many emotions you are scared for Tess one minute then you hoping she finds her way. I really love books that to that to the reader, it was like being there with her it was written amazingly and i really cant wait until Quintessentially Q comes out.

The first couple of chapters i had one hand to my mouth thinking they cant do this to her nearly crying for her, they have to let her go but you soon find out that its doesn't happen and it like a rollercoaster ride.  

You soon find out that Q is a person who keeps his secrets close to his chest and only gives them to people he trust (loves in his crazy way)

I gave this book my highest rating 5 wings because of the way it is written and how it pulls you into it right up to the last word.
