Promise Me This by Sarah Ashley Jones

Cover Design by Okay Creations.

Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 17, 2013

Welcome to the South - where the tea is sweet and the accents are sweeter. This Southern way of life is all Charlie has ever known. It’s not until she loses the only person who pushed her to break free of the Southern Belle mold that she starts living the life she needs and not the life her parents forced on her.

Jhett has lived on the edge for as long as he could remember - constantly teetering back and forth between being a rock star and living a normal life. His rebellious and sometimes arrogant attitude is known to get him into trouble, especially with the girls who hang on his every move.

Charlie never thought that a trip to pack up her brother’s apartment would leave her feeling even more unsettled about the grainy details of her brother’s death. Her quest for information leads her straight to his old hangout and into arms of Jhett, who suspiciously knows more about her situation than he ever should.

Only a few questions remain - Can you trust someone based on their word alone? And if you make a promise, how far will you go to keep it?

About The Author

Sarah Ashley Jones was raised in San Diego, California, but currently wrangles her husband and four dogs in Clarksville, Tennessee. When she's not writing she works in a pottery studio and comes home covered in paint on a daily basis. She has a slightly unhealthy obsession with cupcakes and chapstick. She is an eternal optimist and can often be found dancing and singing to music at any given time. It's rare to see her not smiling or laughing, but if you do, just bring her a cupcake and it will cheer her up.

Promise Me This is her first novel and is a story that weaseled its way into her heart and wouldn't leave her alone until she typed it up on the computer. She already is hard at work on ideas for her next book and hopes that the

characters never stop coming to her. Her huge imagination was always in overdrive as a child and now she is beyond excited to put it to good use as an adult. She plans to write as long as she has stories that need to be told.

Save My Soul Review

Save My Soul by Elley Arden

Amazon | ITunes | Barnes&Noble

Contemporary Romance

Date Published: 3/25/12

Psychotherapist Maggie Collins has always been a little off the proverbial wall, but now 
she’s also knee deep in a delayed quarter-life crisis. With her meager paychecks devoured by 
student loan debt, a car payment and rent for office space, living at home with a flighty, folksinging mother seemed like a good idea…at first. Now Maggie’s not so sure. She wants space 
to sort things out and launch a life of her own, but she needs a cushion of cash to get there. 
When an unexpected phone call brings an offer Maggie can’t refuse, she’s one deal with the 
devil away from moving out of her mother’s house.
The devil of contract negotiations, baseball agent Jordon Kemmons, has a problem the 
usual experts can’t fix…his star pitcher is too depressed to throw strikes. Even worse, 
Jordon’s post-divorce grudge against women is turning him into a raging mess. If desperate 
times call for desperate measures, then cynical Jordon has made the most desperate move 
of all. He’s hoping sexy psychotherapist Maggie Collins is the answer to all his rusty prayers.
Soon Maggie and Jordon are fighting an attraction that threatens everything they’ve ever 
believed. If it’s not just physical attraction…if it’s something more, maybe two wrongs can 
make a right.

Excerpt

“The other thing? You mean the sex. I’m transferring feelings of love to you from my childhood because we have hot, sweaty sex—the best sex I’ve ever had?”

The woman dropped the tube, and Jordon walked toward her. “Let me get that for you, ma’am.” He bent down, and handed the toothpaste to the gaping woman, who wandered aimlessly down the aisle until she disappeared, forgetting her cart.

“That was uncalled for.” Maggie shook her head and bit back a laugh.

Jordon didn’t stop at the end of the cart. He came around and grabbed her by the hips. “We’re done with this conversation. I’m not going to let you push me away because of your misguided notions and over analysis.”

Her mouth opened at his absurd insults. Before she could say a word, his fingers rested on her chin and he closed her jaw.

“Maggie, transference is bull shit. Freud was a flake. You shrinks like to wield power over weak-minded patients. I’m not weak, and I’m not your patient.” He slid his thumb across her bottom lip. “I do…feel exactly the way I said I do, but I won’t say it again until I’m damn sure you’re going to say it back. Until then, keep your shrink wrap away from my head. There’s enough going on in there without you digging around.”

Despite the hypnotic sensation of his thumb stroking her lip, she couldn’t keep quiet anymore. “I find you offensive.”

“No you don’t.”

Jordon leaned his face closer, and she swallowed. Her tongue reflexively brushed over her lip, tasting the tip of his thumb. He stepped into her, and she swallowed again, knowing his mouth would be covering hers in the middle of a busy supermarket. But the minute his arm wound around her waist, she didn’t care where they were. She wanted him to take what he wanted and leave her begging for more.

He stopped inches from her mouth, his smiling eyes locked with hers. “Not here. This is not an appropriate place.”

Her jaw dropped again. “That’s what I said.”

Lifting his head, Jordon set his broad shoulders. “Bread aisle. I need rolls.”

Maggie gripped the cart with shaking hands. “You need a lobotomy. Something is not right with you.” Her heart was racing. She didn’t know whether to push the cart away as fast as she could or grab a handful of dental floss and pitch it at his gorgeous, gloating face.

“What?” He feigned innocence. His eyes wide, his brows high on his head. He even had the audacity to shrug and lift his palms. “What did I do?”

Trying to steady her breath, Maggie clamped her teeth together before she spoke. “Your negotiation tactics are suspect.”

He winked. “Never. Now move your cute little ass to the bread aisle because next time, I’ll make you beg with more than your eyes.”

 

Review:
All I can say is that I really enjoyed this book. I was hooked to the story from the first chapter. I had to know what was going to happen and I couldn't get over how cute Maggie and Jordon were. I just loved there relationship.

Maggie is hired to help one of Jordon's clients, Carlos, who seems to be suffering with depression recently. Carlos is suffering and it is ruining his baseball career. And when I found out was wrong with him I was SHOCKED. I didn't see that coming.

Maggie and Jordon are thrown together for work but they stay together for something completely different. But, will they stay together especially with Jordon's post-divorce feelings? Good question, right?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone.

Book Description:

There’s complicated. And there’s Rowen Sterling.

After numbing pain for the past five years with boys, alcohol, and all-around apathy, she finds herself on a Greyhound bus to nowhere Montana the summer after she graduates high school. Her mom agreed to front the bill to Rowen’s dream art school only if Rowen proves she can work hard and stay out of trouble at Willow Springs Ranch. Cooking breakfast at the crack of dawn for a couple dozen ranch hands and mucking out horse stalls are the last things in the world Rowen wants to spend her summer doing.

Until Jesse Walker saunters into her life wearing a pair of painted-on jeans, a cowboy hat, and a grin that makes something in her chest she’d thought was frozen go boom-boom. Jesse’s like no one else, and certainly nothing like her. He’s the bright and shiny to her dark and jaded.

Rowen knows there’s no happily-ever-after for the golden boy and the rebel girl—happily-right-now is a stretch—so she tries to forget and ignore the boy who makes her feel things she’s not sure she’s ready to feel. But the more she pushes him away, the closer he seems to get. The more she convinces herself she doesn’t care, the harder she falls.

When her dark secrets refuse to stay locked behind the walls she’s kept up for years, Rowen realizes it’s not just everyone else she needs to be honest with. It’s herself.

I love me a country romance!  This is my favorite type of story so when I got the chance to get an ARC of a contemporary country romance that happened to be written by one of my favorite authors I jumped at the chance and I definitely wasn't disappointed.

When I first got into the book, it seemed a little predictable to me.  The city girl was falling for the country boy.  Luckily the rich, complex characters kept me reading because in the end predictable it was not.  Don't get me wrong some parts still are but the little twists in the end make it all worth it!

Rowan is the girl that doesn't fit in the country lifestyle at all.  She shouldn't be touching that place with a ten foot pole but her mother basically makes her got there for the summer so she doesn't have a choice.  Little does she know this lifestyle might be exactly what she needs.  The way that Rowen views herself is very sad and the reason that she sees herself that way is even sadder.  I loved discovering that part of her and seeing her grow from it.

Jesse is country HOTNESS!  All I have to say about that is the tight jeans!!!! mmm mmm mmm I could definitely picture them!  He is also a great character that has a little bit of a past of his own.  Despite that he is such a great guy and exactly what Rowan needs!

I loved the other characters almost just as much!  The mother, Rose, was great fun.  She had great words of wisdom and also great humor when it was needed.  The sisters played a small role in the book but I thought they were just precious in it.  I even liked the ex-girlfriend (you don't hear that one often!)

Overall this book was another great read from Nicole Williams that I would recommend for those who love the NA contemporary romances! Especially if you're a country girl like me!

And I end my review with a teaser pic that I made!  I love this quote!
