~MY 5 Star +++++ Review of Wreck Me by J. L. Mac~

Wreck MeWreck Me by J.L. Mac
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Five Fan-Fucking-Tastic-Stars!!
I loved every friggin minute of it and J. L. Mac did a fantastic job writing it! She has wrecked me but in a totally good way and I cannot wait for Restore Me because I want MORE and you will too!!

Josephine "Jo" Geroux is bitter and angry. Boy is she angry but who could blame her, really? She has lived a very hard, shitty life after a terrible accident claims the life of her parents, therefore leaving her all alone at the very young age of 9.

Fast forward 16 years and Jo is 25 years old, self taught and has survived things only some of us can imagine or have only seen in movies. She is quite the realist (her words) and she has a dirty mouth according to Damon! She also has a job in a bookstore surrounded by what she loves, books, but everything in this life that is hers is forever questionable! Her faith, living, trusting, loving, all of it, is questionable!

The idea of having faith in anything to a homeless teenager is just asinine.

I am ashamed to admit that I have contemplated living versus ending it all.


Oh how my heart broke for her! And then, she meets Damon Cole! Damon has many characteristics, NONE of which are bad in my opinion, he is sexy, he is sweet, charming, friendly, wealthy and totally 100% alpha male who dominates Josephine. Their relationship comes together fairly quickly but it works for them and when you are reading their story you won't think twice about it. It flows so well! I fell in love with them!

Josephine starts to FEEL so much for and with Damon. It confuses and astounds her!

I have never allowed anyone to have such power over me, but I want this man to take me. All of me.

Their attraction to one another is undeniable yet different, like they have met before. He says to her “See? You felt it too and now you see it,” he whispers in my ear and he is right.

As the two of them spend every waking moment together and fulfilling every need for each other they are both captivated by what they feel and realize they don't want to be anywhere else. Then more tragedy strikes

I feel like my world is crumbling beneath my feet but Damon walks in and I have something to grab onto. It’s frightening and comforting all in the same.

He fulfills me in a way no man ever has.


When I read Wreck Me my heart broke for Josephine and then Damon healed it. I laughed at her dirty mouth, I understood her, I was happy for them and then I cried for them. I highly recommend this book!! I could have read it in a day but as you all know work gets in the way. J. L. Mac did a fantastic job she had a hold on me from the beginning until the very end and has left me wanting more! I truly don't believe you will be disappointed in reading this one! Honestly I could go on and on!!
I was given an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review! I leave you with these final quotes

“Even if it takes the rest of my life, I swear to you, I’ll make you forget every bad thing that has ever happened to you.

I live to make you smile, Josephine.”

~Cover Reveal for Lost In Distraction by B J Harvey~


~Blurb~

In the three years after a horrible crime claimed her family, Elise Halliwell has been alone, shut off from the world in a self-imposed emotional exile. She goes through the motions, finishes high school and moves across country to start college and begin the next step in her pre-destined life. 

But her exile is dramatically cut short by the entrance of a dark haired, blue-eyed, smirking man who shakes her to the core, achieving what everyone else before him has failed to do, he makes her feel again. 

As much as he wishes it were different, fate has not brought Braxton James into Elise’s life, or has it.

Brax has to keep her safe from people in her life who have ulterior motives and may want to hurt her. 

Elise has no idea the threat she faces, and Brax wants to make sure it stays that way. But as Brax struggles with getting close to her, he begins to live a lie.

Unable to resist the pull that is Elise’s bright green eyes, infectious giggle, and loving heart, he finds it impossible to stay away, so the double life of being Elise’s boyfriend and keeping her safe begins. 

Full of twists and turns, danger and revelations that no-one could predict, you won’t be the only one lost in distraction.
 
~Cover Reveal Teaser~

Brax and I decided to spend the day apart so that I could concentrate on a paper that’s due, because we struggle to get anything done when we’re together. After finally finishing the paper, I send him a text to see if he wants to come over tonight.

 
Elle: Wanna come over tonight? I’m all finished now
 

Brax: Of course darlin, I’ll grab some food and head over in about half an hour.
 

Smiling at his immediate reply, I decide it’s time to tease him a bit.  
 

Elise: I’m sure you can think of ways to build up an appetite when you get here…
 

Brax: Dammit woman, how am I supposed to concentrate now!
 

Elise: As long as you’re focussed when you get here, I’m not worried ;)
 

Now, I know I’m being brazen, but after the morning wake-up call Brax gave me a few days ago, I can’t wait to be with him again.
 

I sent that text over an hour ago and now I’m getting nervous. I’ve been on edge all day anyway because I’ve decided that tonight is the night. I’m going to tell him about my past, all of it, warts and all. I don’t want to hide my darkness from him any longer, and although I don’t have nightmares when I’m with Brax, there are still a lot of those times. I want him to see my dark side, so I can be sure he is the one to show me the light.


Another hour passes with no sign of Brax. I text him to check that he’s still coming over. After still not getting a reply from him, I realise it has now been over three hours since he said he’d be here. Now I’m really starting to worry. This is really unlike him, usually if he’s running late he’d let me know.
 

I’m about to give up and head to bed when I hear a knock at the door followed by a loud thump against the wall outside. I rush over and look through the peep hole, but I can’t see anyone on the other side. I decide to open the door since I’m in a secure building, surely it can’t be too bad.

 
I open the door, my high-pitched scream echoing through the night at what I see.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Erika Taylor was born into the army lifestyle as an only child. Being the only child, she learned to keep herself entertained by unleashing her inner tomboy. Fishing, navigating through the woods and tree climbing were a few of her favorite escapes as a child along with her fast growing love of video games. While she is still a down home girl at heart, she grew to love music and left the wildness behind. She is a devoted lover of music and a closet groupie. Genre of choice is always rock but she has been known to kick it old school from time to time and jam to the 90s greatest hits. Her passion for music fueled her imagination and she has since found at age twenty-nine that she loves to read. While reading didn’t seem to interest her growing up you will almost always find her with her nose in a book nowadays. Erika is currently a native to Oklahoma where she lives with her husband and five small children that they have combined between the two of them. She admits to loving caramel frappe’s, getting her hair done, Ace Ventura When Nature Calls and candy of choice being Airheads. She blames The Hunger Games book series for her newly formed addiction to reading, which has since brought on her desire to write. She is currently working on her debut novel “Moving Forward” set to release May 3rd, 2013.

~Teaser~
 
*Jesika*
 
Let me start off by saying, I love my bestie Mallory all the time but sometimes… I really, really love her. She always knows how to pick my spirits up, or how to get me to do something I think is completely crazy, but is actually so needed. So, with that being said, the fact I haven’t seen Derek in four days sucks. No, scratch that, it completely blows.
    
Admitting that I actually have a crush on someone is still hard to admit to myself. It almost feels like I’m cheating on Jake. The fact that I’m thinking about seeing Derek more than thinking about how much I miss Jake is making me feel somewhat guilt ridden. Then again, I also know that it is something I need, I know I will never forget Jake…no matter who is in my life but that doesn’t make it any easier. I’m kinda confused by these sudden feelings I’m having for someone who is practically a stranger.
    
When I get home after being thoroughly disappointed again that there was no Derek at the school, I feel like I’m about to Hulk out. Maybe it’s the way he left me Friday night…a little worked up, hot and bothered, moisten between my legs…freaking feeling like a lioness in heat.

He’s a freaking tease. He did this to me on purpose.

I walk into my room and on my bed is a little purple with yellow polka dots gift bag with a card sticking out. I take the card out and it reads ‘Thinking of You in Your Time of Need’ on the front.

“Humph….” I say to no one in the room. I open the card and read it aloud. “Hey Jes! I know you’d never buy this for yourself, but trust me when I say, you need it! Seriously, I am your Best Friend. Love ya, Mal.”
    
I dump the bag over and pull the pink tissue paper away. “What the hell is that?” I say, again to no one. I pick it up and I swear I’m holding a bedazzled tampon holder. It’s small, fits in my hand and it’s slightly bigger than a lipstick holder. I go to open it and the damn thing starts buzzing and shaking in my hand. I drop it.

Holy shit!
   
Mallory bought me a battery operated toy. I start laughing thinking about our conversation after the concert. She was so right, I would never buy myself a battery operated toy or any kind of sex toy.
 
For the last year, sex has been the last thing on my mind. The fact that I’m now experiencing some signs of sexual tension makes me blush as the butterflies start to flap around because I know damn well who is responsible for these reincarnated feelings.
