** A Top 100 USA Today Bestseller** 

I'm thrilled to be the maid of honor in my friend's wedding, but the best man, Andrew McCormick, is a chauvinistic pig with a God complex. 

And I can't stop kissing him in closets. 

(Don't ask.) 

He's the brother of the groom and the CEO of my biggest mystery shopping account, but suddenly he's refusing to be in the wedding. He won't talk about it. Won't see reason. 

He's such a man. 

And he still won't stop kissing me in random closets. 

(Thank goodness.) 

I'm a fixer. That's what I do. I can fix anything if given the chance. But when the game is fixed there's only so much I can do. 

The ball's in his court now. 

Game on.

Noble's Song by Vicki Green




Title: Noble's Song
Author: Vicki Green
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 25, 2017



Blurb


A song can tell a thousand stories
And break a million hearts


When you have next to nothing, it’s easier to be appreciative of what little you do have.

Noble Lewis grew up with meager means yet her heart couldn’t be purer. The day she lost her mama was the day she set out on her own, leaving behind the only place she’d ever known to find her place in the vast world.

Her mama always told her to follow her heart, let it guide her. Her gentle and selfless nature is the one thing that her mama gave her but is she really prepared for what lies ahead?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I volunteered to read a copy of this book. No form of payment was received. These are my thoughts and only my thoughts on the story.

This is a story of Noble a young girl who is trying to find herself and her happy place after her mama passes away. This is a story of love, faith, hope and promise.

This story drew me in and I didn't want it to end. This story is kind of emotional and you may shed some tears. Personally I got teary eyed towards the end.

I loved Merrick. He was my favorite character in this story, even though I loved Noble. I would love to get more of his story...Hint hint ;).




Excerpt

“You see, Noble – I’m bad news around here. You deserve to be with someone who’s in better regard in town. Someone you can be proud to be with.”
Reaching up, I cup his handsome face. “Don’t you see you’re better than what you think you are? No one’s perfect, Merrick. Lots of people have hard lives. You’ve been nothing but kind and caring to me. And your mama? You’ve just told me you’ll do anything for her and you have.” I smile and rub my thumb across his cheek. “I am proud of you, Merrick.”
His eyes stare into mine and my breath hitches at the intensity. Slowly, he moves toward me, his hand taking my arm. “I’m gonna kiss you now if that’s okay.” I swallow hard and barely nod when his lips press against mine. I’ve never had a boy – or a man – kiss me before. It’s not like kissing Mama at all. It lingers. Makes shivers run through me. My lips tingle. It’s…. beautiful. It’s not as long as I’d like, left me wanting more, but he pulls back slightly and presses his forehead against mine.
My eyes remain closed, and I still feel those tingles on my lips. “That was the most perfect kiss,” I whisper.

The kind of man every woman fantasizes about, but knows better than to get involved with—which is just the way Stone likes it. After all, a dressing room full of groupies, Viagra, and love don’t exactly mesh.

What happens when two headstrong rockers are thrown together against their will?

What happens when rock stars break into a penguin exhibit?

In a world where the motto is: Sex, Drugs, and Rock n’Roll, can these two rockers last longer than a One-hit wonder?

#1 BENEATH IT ALL


You. Have. Breast. Cancer.

I wasn’t prepared to hear those words. Neither was my loving husband, family or friends. And none of us were prepared for what life had in store after they were spoken.

I should have seen the signs all around me. I should have paid attention to the people who supposedly loved me, the people who I'd always trusted. But I was blind to what was going on. The effects on my flourishing career, passionate marriage and carefree lifestyle would be insurmountable.

It was time to take control of my life and the overwhelming chaos. Time to make the choices that were right for me. Right for my future. The future I hadn’t planned on.

My life didn’t stop when I heard those four little words…it was only just beginning.

JaM Review: 5 Stars reviewed by Tracy 

Beneath It All takes us on a wonderful rollercoaster of emotions. The main character Victoria, gets diagnosed with breast cancer and we go with her on the journey of her life. This book brought me through a range of emotions, one moment I was happy the next I was crying. It also made me do a self exam in my shower that very same night. I feel like the author brought us to each doctor appointment and had us inside Victoria's head and heart as she experienced all of these emotions. I loved the dynamics Victoria has with her best friends and how they all pull together to help her get through this. We all hope when push comes to shove that our friends are truly friends like hers. This is a definite must read for anyone who needs a feel good book, it has a lot of heart ache in it but also the very strong message that life does go on, we must keep fighting. I received an ARC for my honest review of this book.



#2 BENEATH YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL


Four words continue to haunt me . . .
You. Have. Breast. Cancer.

I associate them with the upheaval of my life to this point. The last few months have been a test of my strength . . . mentally, emotionally, and physically. Cancer is a monster. It preys on your mind and it consumes you, consistently reminding you of how your life used to be. Life before cancer. I was a successful business woman, running my own design firm, and was happily married to my college sweetheart. My life seemed perfect. Until it suddenly came crashing down all around me.

So, here I am, in the midst of treatment, incinerating the remnants of my shattered marriage and attempting to piece the rest of my life back together. With three amazing friends pushing me forward, the ‘post-chemo’ finish line is coming into view.

And then . . . there’s him. The man I never anticipated. The one who breathes hope and meaning back into my life. A man who kisses my scars and shows me that I’m beautiful. I never expected him. Hell, I never expected cancer. I’m finally ready to write my future, a future I never planned on, but one that is better than I could’ve ever imagined.

JaM Review: 5 Stars Reviewed by Tracy

This is the sequel to Beneath It All and you really should read that first to understand the whole storyline. This was another rollercoaster ride! I love the relationships Victoria has with her 3 best friends and her blossoming romance with Blake. I felt her sorrow as she deals with a friend going through what she just went through and tries to figure how to cope with it all. I laughed with her and cried with her, felt joy at her high moments and felt crushed with her low moments. This is a wonderful series that brings awareness to Breast Cancer, with bringing us along for the journey that Victoria takes as she fights for her life as everything blows up in her life and she rebuilds a better, stronger self through all of her pain. I was given an ARC for my honest review.

Author: Kaylee Ryan
Genre: New Adult Romance
Cover Design: Perfect Pear Creative Covers

Release Date: TBC



Blurb

I had everything I ever wanted, living the dream, at least that's what I always thought. The night we met, we had an instant attraction, but she was with someone else. When we reunited a few months later, that pull was still there, stronger than ever. So strong, that even though she was hundreds of miles away, I perused her. I told myself that I just wanted to get to know her. Deep down I knew it was more.

I never understood the draw of living in the middle of nowhere. Born and raised a city girl, I never had the desire to leave. Who would have thought a weekend trip to the country would have me questioning myself? It was more than just the country; it's him. The way he looks at me, treats me, that smooth southern drawl.

Am I willing to give up my legacy for her?

Am I willing to give up my dream for him?

Can two souls come together by the force of Southern Attraction?
