Review of Book by Jacquelyn Vargovich

I had the great pleasure to read Bound to You by Skylar Nightingale. This is a great YA romance book. Terry and Nina’s story was a great story with some bumps along the way. I loved how the story was told in both Terry and Nina’s point of view I believe this gave this book more depth and understanding. This book captured the lives of people in their 20’s and in college. I believe so many young adults feel like mostly the same way as Terry and Nina while in college. This book did have so many twists and turns which made this very hard to put away. I fell asleep a few nights with the book still open in the morning. It is that hard to put down once started. I hope to read more books by Skylar in the future because this one is highly recommended.

 

Synopsis
Dear Nina,
Ever since I met you back stage at my concert, you penetrated my heart, and there was no turning back.
Despite the fact that you told me you had a boyfriend, I still wanted you to be in my life, so I asked if we could remain friends. Unfortunately, he shattered your world forever when you caught him cheating on you. Although broken, I vowed to comfort you through it all.
Your beauty’s so profound, inside and out, I wanted you to be in my music video. I was pleasantly surprised when you agreed to do it. During that time, our relationship grew, and I knew I wanted you in my life forever. Then you pulled away repeatedly, allowing the fear of getting hurt again to engulf you.
Now, I’m damaged and alone, and don’t know how much more my heart can take. I need to know, are you going to keep me in your life or avoid another broken heart and run?
I hope you choose me because I’m Bound to You.
Love always,
Terry Rayborn

Excerpt
As we are standing there waiting for the hostess to seat us, Catherine begins looking around. “Holy shit. This can’t be happening,” she utters.
I glance over at her sharply. “What?”
“Don’t look, but over there in the corner are Adam and Carson with some girls.” 
It takes all my strength not give myself a whiplash and look. I cannot believe it. It has not been twenty-four hours, and he is out with someone else. So much for me being the ‘best one’.
The hostess walks us to our table. Just my luck, we are headed over to the same area where Carson and Adam are sitting. “Do you want me to see if they have another table or we can go some where else?” Catherine asks me.
I shake my head. “No, I will have to get used to seeing him with other women in social settings so it’s fine.”
As we are approaching the table, I see Adam has spotted us and is nudging Carson. I watch as Carson’s head whips up and he makes eye contact with me. I can feel the electricity in the air as our eyes lock onto each other. It is like a massive thunderstorm is about to begin. The hostess stops to seat us at the table directly across from them. I am unable to suppress my groan. I look around the restaurant to see if there are any open tables we can move to, but the place is packed.
I see the grin on Adam’s face. I hope he will not torture me or Carson in front of the two women they are with. “Hi Catherine, Alex. What are you girls doing here?” Adam asks as we are about to sit down.
Catherine glances over at them and makes a face at Carson. “We came to have dinner and drinks since Alex had a rough day,” she replies as she cuts Carson another dirty look.
“Ladies, this is Catherine. Carson’s younger sister and Alex, her best friend. Catherine, Alex, this is Samantha and Kami”, Adam says as he does the introductions. I smile and nod trying to be friendly, but not wanting to intrude. Carson is still staring at me and has yet to say anything.
“OMG, you are Alexandria McNeil. I absolutely adore you and follow your fashion style in the gossip section,” Kami says.
“Thank you,” I reply as I try to sit down.
“Wait a minute, crap. Now I know where I recognize you from Carson!”, Kami squeals. “I saw those pictures of the two of you at the gala. Your dress was amazing, Alexandria. I assumed you two were dating just based on the way you were looking at each other in the photos.”
This is getting very awkward. I look over at Carson and see an unreadable expression on his face. He does not look like he will to try to offer any explanation to his date. “We went as good friends,” I reply hoping we can end the conversation and sit down.
“Wow. I’m on a date with a guy who knows Alexandria McNeil well enough to go to events with her. Amazing!”, Kami says.
I fight the urge to roll my eyes at her. Carson claims to have issues with my age, but this girl has to be four years younger than me. I look at Catherine with a plea of get me out of this. “Ok, it was nice to see you guys. We will let you get back to your date,” Catherine says as she sits down.
“Thank you,” I tell her when I am seated. “I thought I was going to punch her for being so excited to be on a date with Carson.”
“Well, she shouldn’t be too excited about her date because all Carson is doing is staring at you.”
I glance over and make eye contact with Carson. The emotions that fly between our eyes are so intense. I am surprised we have not caused this restaurant to burn down. “I’m going to go use the restroom. I will be back in a minute. Order me a vodka cranberry when the waiter comes for our drink order,” I tell Catherine as I stand up. I need to get some space from Carson.
“Are you ok?” Catherine asks with concern in her voice.
“I’m fine. I need to use the restroom,” I tell her with a relaxed smile. Or what I hope is a relaxed smile.
I go the restroom and I glance in the mirror. I am happy to see while I am a mess inside, I look great on the outside. I just need to keep up the appearance of everything being fine until Carson leaves. As I am walking out the bathroom, someone steps out and grabs my arm. I jump and then recognize Carson.
“Alex, I am so sorry. I had no idea you and Catherine would be here tonight,” he begins.
“Carson, there is nothing for you to apologize for. You made it clear what last night meant to you,” I tell him and try to walk away, but he pulls me further down the hallway.
“No, listen. Adam pulled me into this dinner at the last minute.”
“We are fine,” I tell him again. This is killing me. I believe he wants more from me. For us, but Carson is struggling with making it happen.  I want to get past him, but he has me blocked with his arm.
“Alex. I. I don’t actually know what I am trying to say,” he says with a sad laugh.
I look up at him and see him clenching his jaw again. The intensity in his eyes tells me what he wants. I reach up and stroke his cheek. “You know I really like the scruffiness on your face,” I tell him. Carson looks surprised and then he turns into my hand and kisses the palm of my hand like he did last night. I can feel a shiver run through me. It is like a bolt of lightening goes from my hand to my core. I can feel myself begin to get wet from the passion this one little move as elicited. “Carson, what are you doing?” I whisper to him as I gaze into his eyes.
“What I have been dying to do all day since I woke up and saw you sitting there naked in your bed.”  Carson begins to lower his head towards mine. My body is screaming in anticipation of his kiss. “Alexandria”, he breathes out as his lips make contact with mine. My world explodes in this moment. The passion is flowing between us becomes frenzied. I can feel him pushing me up against the wall as his tongue begins its quest of my mouth. I can hear myself moaning into his mouth as his hands begin to move restlessly over my body. I grab Carson by his shirt and pull his body closer to mine. I feel the evidence of his hard arousal against my stomach. Once I again I wish I was taller so I could feel that hardness against my center.
I am aware of his hands slipping under my shirt and moving up towards my breasts. “I want you so bad Alexandria,” he groans out against my ear has he nips at my earlobe.
Just then a flash a goes off which startles the heck out of the both of us. “What the hell?” Carson utters as we both look over. I see a photographer standing there with a huge smile on his face as he realizes what he just caught on camera.
“I thought I recognized the two of you when you each headed back here. This will make a great story in The Post, considering he is here with someone else,” the photographer says with glee as he turns around and walks off.
“Oh my god. What were we thinking? You are here with a date and I am making out with you,” I groan while I frantically push Carson’s hands from underneath my shirt. “Plus, it will create a scandal for my family if that story is printed,” I continue. I can feel myself getting panicked. 
“Alex, calm down. I will take care of it,” Carson says gently.
“How can you tell me to calm down?” I hiss at him. “We will be in every gossip section in this city. All because I find you too damn attractive and can’t think straight when I am near you!”
“You think I’m too damn attractive?”
I look up at him and he is smiling like an idiot. “This is what you’re worried about? My world may come crashing down on me, and you are smiling because I said I find you attractive. What the hell is wrong with you? Are you drunk?” I demand.
“Little one, I will take care of this for the both of us. I am sorry for what just happened. I should not have kissed you and let it get out of control so quickly,” he replies. “Go back to your table and enjoy your dinner with Catherine.” Just as he is about to walk away from me, he turns back and kisses me one last time on the lips and walks away.
I walk back to our table and ask the waiter for our check even though Catherine and I have only ordered a drink. “Let’s go eat somewhere else or sit at the bar,” I tell Catherine as I take a huge sip of my drink. “I can’t sit here with them so close to us.”
Catherine gives me a funny look. “What?” I ask her.
She smiles at me and glances over at Carson, who is returning to his seat. “Your lipstick is a little smeared. I also find that highly suspect since Carson followed you to the bathroom,” she replies with a smirk. I groan and turn red.
I glance over at Carson and Adam and see they are whispering back and forth to each other. I watch as Adam gets up and makes a phone call away from the table. “So, spill the beans Alex. What just happened?” Catherine prods.
I sigh out loud, “Your brother followed me and things got a little out of hand between the two of us. A photographer took a picture of us making out.”
At that moment the waiter returns but without our check. “Ms. McNeill, someone has picked up your check,” he tells us. “Who?” Catherine asks. “The gentlemen at the table across from you paid for your drinks,” he says with a smile.
“Of course he did,” I say rolling my eyes.
Catherine and I grab our purses and walk over to sit at the bar. “This is better,” I tell her now that I cannot see Carson and we are enjoying our drinks. “I’m sorry that my brother is a pain in the ass.”
“It’s not your fault. He says one thing but then does another. I feel like a slut since I just made out with someone who is on a date with another woman. I honestly would have let the entire thing get way out of hand if the photographer had not distracted us.”
I feel a tug on my hair and glance behind me to see Adam standing there smiling at us. “Why did you guys move over here?” he asks trying to sound innocent.
“You know why,” I tell him.
“Adam, why the hell did you bring Carson out on a double date? Don’t you realize that I am trying to set him and Alex up?” Catherine demands.
“Calm down Catherine. I did it because I want Carson to become conscious of the fact he is head over heels for Alex,” Adam says with a smile. “We are on the same team. Based off how he came back from the bathroom, I can see you worked him up nicely.”
“Thanks guys, except Carson does not want to be on any team so please leave me out of it,” I tell them.
“Alex, I came over here to let you know that I have taken care of the photographer,” Adam states.
“What, how?” I ask him amazed.
“The editor at The Post owes me a favor, and I called it in. Also, your dad may have to give them an exclusive in exchange for not printing such a ‘juicy story’,” Adams says laughing.
“Thank you. I don’t know how I can ever repay you.”
“For starters, keep making out with Carson. You guys are good for each other,” he says as he walks back to their table.
Catherine and I order some tapas and have another drink. We are beginning to enjoy the evening, and as usual men are coming to flirt with us. I am sitting there listening to a guy give Catherine the lamest pick up line when Carson and Adam and their dates walk over to say bye.
“Alexandria, it was awesome meeting you,” Kami gushes.
“Nice to meet the both of you,” I reply to both girls. I notice Kami is trying to hold one of Carson’s hands but he moves his hands to his pockets to discourage her. I glance up at him and give him a look.
“Alex, have a good night with Catherine. Try to not stay out all night,” Carson says as he leans over to kiss my cheek. Before he pulls away from me he whispers, “I am sorry about tonight little one. I never meant for any of this to happen.”

This is a newly edited copy along with a new cover. Updated 4/17/2016
When Janet Reynolds Fiancé leaves her at the altar, it shatters something deep inside. Depressed, lonely and convinced that she will never be happy again, she sets her will to moving forward – though her days are empty and the monotony life drags her down. She lives alone with plain white walls and a broken heart, spending her time as a reporter for the only newspaper in her small town of Derby. That job, once exciting and fulfilling, has become stale, a testament to days gone past and a reminder of things that can never be… until a chance interview brings her face to face with Sean O’Malley, a local business owner with big dreams and an even bigger heart.
Their meeting galvanizes Janet, igniting a part of her she thought had died. The sparks fly and suddenly love seems possible. Unfortunately, Derby had secrets of its own – a killer stalking the streets, taking victims and leaving the police baffled. When Janet writes an article about the murders she realizes that every victim has one thing in common……. They all look just like her.
As the bond between Sean and Janet grows stronger, the killer is out there – and getting closer.

Yet lurking is a promise, a promise of things to come. It has my heart in a vice; squeezing the last dregs of a love I never thought I could feel again. From the moment I saw him I knew he would be my downfall, for how can something that smoulders so dark not singe? Yet, he is my redemption and I gladly walk the path that I have chosen….

Resisting Roots by Audrey Carlan

#1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: 5th April 2016


Resisting Roots
A Lotus House Novel #1Goodreads Book Link
Synopsis

Yoga instructor Genevieve Harper is a blond bombshell loaded down with responsibility and sacrifice. She makes the most out of raising her two siblings in the wake of their parents’ tragic accident. At twenty-four, she doesn’t have time to devote to a man…especially not the devastatingly handsome Trent Fox, who’s known for being a “player” on and off the baseball field.

Trent has the best hitting average in the league. Recently, he suffered a torn hamstring that takes him to the Lotus House Yoga Center for recuperation. There he meets the curvy, petite blonde with soulful black eyes and candy-coated glossy lips he’d like to do more to than kiss. He secures the flexible hottie for daily private lessons that ultimately show him how sensual the art of yoga can be.

Can love grow between a woman who’s rooted in her life and a man who resists any notion of staying in one place?

If you’re intrigued by the practice of yoga and desire a sensual, intensely erotic, and uniquely spiritual read with characters capable of performing pretzel-like sexual acts, the Lotus House series is for you. 

Each of the seven books can be read as a standalone but are better read in order. No cliffhangers. Books are erotic romances written for mature audiences 18+.

Author Bio

Audrey Carlan is a #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. She writes wicked hot love stories that are designed to give the reader a romantic experience that’s sexy, sweet, and so hot your e-reader might melt. Some of her works include the wildly successful Calendar Girl Serial, Falling Series, and the Trinity Trilogy.

She lives in the California Valley where she enjoys her two children and the love of her life. When she’s not writing, you can find her teaching yoga, sipping wine with her “soul sisters” or with her nose stuck in a wicked hot romance novel.

Resisting Roots Review by Jacquelyn Vargovich

 

This was a very well thought out and well-rounded book. I loved the idea of an injured sports player going to take Yoga. I have looked into years about starting Yoga. This book made me want to look in to this further. The spark between Trent and Genevieve was apparent from the beginning.  Even though this is part of a series, I love that this can be a stand-alone book. I love there are no cliffs-hangers and this is a full story. I give this five stars and recommend to anyone who love steamy romances with a twist of Yoga.

Excerpt of Kidnapped by Jacquelyn Vargovich

PROLOGUE

 

Janet’s attention diverted outside, her mind defiant, as circumstances were beyond her control. Letting out a breath, relative desire wrapped her up in a cozy quilt, recumbent in a king-sized bed liner from the domain.  Her heart is failing, as if invisible hands grip from within.  Her chest is heavy; her spirit suffers agony. Outside she is the perfection of grandeur. Her battle rages inside her brain, refusing to let go.

Spring is upon this weary world. Yet again, pain and agony associated with the one season she once loved. Spring’s a period for rebirth; new life brought to this unfair existence, the tree outside has buds upon the branches, as of now, her least favorite season.  A year has passed since she woke up in the hospital, recovering from knife wounds. Disgusted by sheer view of everlasting markings; raw chasms of puckered flesh, paler than the rest of her skin, it was a permanent reminder of her failings to triumph over the malicious wrath.

She modestly agreed to see a shrink, to satisfy Sean.  Sean O’Malley has been her life line to keep her from drowning. Her life would be meaningless without his embrace; a sheer comfort for her damaged soul.  Since waking from a long coma, they have been inseparable.  A bird builds a nest in the crook of a tremendous maple tree.  The bird appears obsessive by his task. Easy for the world to keep turning, while she is stuck in one place, her personal hell.

“Janet?” Dr. Masson peers over her bifocals, condemnation in her voice.

“Janet,” the doctor tries again, determination in her voice, “You haven’t been talkative today. What is your purpose in coming to the office today?”

Ignoring the questions, Janet stews, as she keeps watching the tree. A bird sits on a branch, with  no care in the world, moving sticks, grasses and what look like a pink ribbon to build a home. How simple; I wish life was just this simple.

Going through the daily motions is exhausting, and getting out of bed is a chore which leads to why Janet is sitting on the worn couch, spilling her deepest darkest secrets. Janet was basically forced to this predicament by her loving boyfriend. Of Course she didn’t fuss much, he had been feeling neglected. She takes no joy in nothing in her life till date.  Janet focuses her thoughts and the thoughts slam her brain until she was overwhelmed. A headache begins, shooting through her forehead, as if a car is slamming through a brick wall. Where to begin? Janet looks at her hands; hands she barely perceives as her own.

“I don’t know where to start,” Janet whispers, in a voice barely recognizable.

“We need to establish the foundation pertaining to your issue,” the doctor clarifies.

Lowering her head in defeat, in a monotone voice.  “My issue is apparent, and where to start is now clear.” Her breath hitches, as she searches for the correct verse. “It started when I met Gary Anderson in Philadelphia, at a birthday party three years ago…”  The precise creation of this ambulatory nightmarish reality.

Today is the start of my very first Camp NaNoWriMo. As most of you already know my first book Stalked was written during the National November Writing Month. This is a big once a year deal where writers come together and pledge to write 50k words.

Camp NaNoWriMo is April 1-30, 2016. I set my word count at 35k and hopefully I can complete Kidnapped during this event. I am shooting for kidnapped to be another novella. This will give me the time to edit and publish the book in June. Kidnapped is making great progress and I am happy to say it’s coming together better as expected. I will have a finished excerpt probably next week to post on the blog. I am also working on a poem book, this will be published to be a free e-book.

As you can tell I am a very busy bee. I always have time for fans, readers and such. Shoot me a mail @ jvargovich@gmail.com with any questions or concerns. I am still in search of twenty-five book reviewers. Please shoot me a mail if anyone is interested.

Until next time, I hope you days are filled with rainbows and lollipops. I think I had too much coffee.
