LEDGER 

Second Chance #1

*Intended for an adult audience*

Ledger sees the defeat in her eyes the moment she sits at the bar, devastated and beautiful. The emptiness in her gaze he understands to his core, and he's instantly compelled to help this brown-haired beauty fight the source of her pain. Determined and intense, he needs to use his strength to help her find her own. Cam Foster, in that instant, becomes the dove he wants to free from her cage. From the first night, he needs her.

Cruelly, the past refuses to let her go. The lingering manipulation holds her in that cage as the control she lived under continues to crush the woman she wants to become. Even though Ledger offers her heated passion and a safe haven, she can't find her way out.

Desire and danger fight to pull her life in two directions…but those forces may crumble as Ledger fights harder than any barrier he and his dove face.

The characters were well defined, likable, and intriguing. I was instantly hooked from page one and wasn’t able to put my kindle down for more than a few moments all day. ~ Amazon Review 

This was an awesome read. It was heartbreaking and heartwarming as Cam goes on a journey of self discovery. You want so much for her to be totally free and you want so much for Ledger to be the one to help her get there. ~ LMB Blog

MASON 

Second Chance #2

*Intended for an adult audience*

Second Chance Novels book 2

For Mason, every smile is forced. Every joke represents effort. Bartending stands as a calculated decision to be a regular guy. In spite of his best efforts, life at such an easy pace is painful…because Mason was raised on a diet of crushing adrenaline and fierce, strategical thinking. His time in the Special Forces ended two years prior, but his drive and skill remained the strongest part of his being. 

When his skills are needed again, Mason wakes up from a two-year haze and rescues the damsel. Mission accomplished. Victory had. 

…Devastation returns. 

Mason has no idea how to return to his everyday existence, not after flexing every strength he'd pushed aside. The simple truth is he can't. Balance, he decides, is the key: remain his joke-cracking self with his friends, and indulge in some ass-kicking on the side. 

Together with Sofia 'Dig' DiGiacamo, Mason plans to eliminate every point of corruption they can uncover. A life of purpose fills him again, but the pressure threatens to rip him painfully apart. The turmoil stirs ugly memories of his Army career, adding an explosive element to his world.

Every day he fights corruption, every evening he fights himself. But still, Mason grits his teeth and grins. He's determined to keep his life, love, past, shame, desperate need, and suppressed anger all hidden behind his smiling, regular guy, bartender self. His fight remains an unending circle, and Mason battles on every front.

This story is HOT! The chemistry when it arrives has you wanting to be in her shoes soaking up everything this man has to offer. It would be putting it lightly by saying that the sexual scenes where explosive! It had me crossing my legs trying to eradicate that "itch". ~ Francessca’s Romance Reviews

The stoicism they both show during this heart-wrenching time is amazing and the final letdown after the fact pulled me right into the anguish they were feeling. This series his hitting all the right notes with me and I can’t wait for more. ~ BYOBook Club

I love this book and highly recommend this series!!!! The characters are complex. They have real issues. You find yourself wanting them to bring the bad guys down. I even found myself squealing into a pillow a couple of times. ~ Goodreads Review

About The Author 

Mother of Two Boys...

My husband and I have been married for 18 years and are blessed with two amazing young men. They are 11 and 13 right now, and both are on very different parts of the autism spectrum. I’ve learned so much being their mom and I feel pretty lucky to have become part of a community of loving, understanding people. 

If you’d like to meet my oldest son, watch Big Bang Theory and shake hands with Sheldon. Those two are so similar, straight down to the fake laugh when they recognize something is funny. 

My youngest cannot be explained. He’s more of an experience, and a joyful one at that. 

Romance Novelist...

I’ve always loved to write. I’ve written for newspapers and magazines, also a host of personal projects. Then in December of 2012 I was reading on my first Kindle, gobbling up romances left and right. That’s when I fell in love with Raine Miller’s Ethan Blackstone, by the way.

I was inspired to sit down and write. Three years later, I’ve published eight books, written another, and started on two more. Another series popped into my head, as well. Now as of July of 2015, Since I’m sure I won’t update this bio for a long time, you’ll have to rely on my Facebook updates to know what’s going on with Kemmie Michaels romances. You can also subscribe to my newsletter for releases, covers, sales, and other news.

Biker Blues: Salvation (Books 1-3) by Dale Mayer & Tasha Lyons

Blurb:

An abused wife meets the most unlikeliest of angels - a man who looks like the very devil himself. 
He won't let her give up. 
Nor will he let her go. 
Will he be yet another captor or will he become her salvation?

Book 1 Review:

Cash, a hunk of a man who also looks like a bad boy, becomes a woman's savior who runs from demons that walk and talk, one among the living. He looks scary, but all he wants to do is protect her and revive her hope. This is only part one and it definitely ends in a cliff hanger, but definitely worth the read!

Book 2 Review:

Willow has been under a man's protection from her husband, Greg, but he won't give her up so easily. Things start getting dicey and not only is she in constant danger, but now so is her protector, Cash. Cash is doing his best to help not only keep her safe but to get back into a more normal state of mind. For quite some time Willow has been of the mind set to do what she's told and accept it no matter what that is, but she is slowly taking back her life. Hopefully she can stay alive long enough to build a new one. Part two is another fantastic leg of Willow's journey!

Book 3 Review:

In the last part of Willow's story, there is even more danger for Cash and the woman who has quickly captured his attention and possibly his heart. Greg will not let Willow be no matter what. Cash is desperate to keep her safe, but there are unknown factors at play and some extra help has to be called in. Willow's husband is a cunning man and not easily defeated. He has resources they had no idea he had access to. A great ending to this series!

Boxed Set Review:

This set might be my favorite yet of these authors. Such a great read about a woman who gets a second chance at life and love. Turns out that one fateful night, Willow is saved by the man who looks like an enemy but turns out to be prince charming. Cash looks like a mean, tough guy. And to be honest he can be when protecting those he cares for. A man with a rough past, he knows the look of someone who has run out of options and hope. When he finds Willow, that is what he sees. She beaten and finally been broken down to a point she thinks there is almost no coming back from. But Cash is bound and determined to bring her back from the edge. The only thing stopping him, besides Willow's personal demons, is her husband, Greg. He is one bad man. I loved reading this set and did so in one day!

Review for A New Perspective (Second Chance Series) by Christina Escue

Blurb:
WARNING: Mild language and mild sexual content.. 15+ 

After a few weeks away, Karla returned home to discover that things weren’t quite the way she thought they were. Upon reading Diane’s letters, Karla has to come to terms with a side of her mother she’d never seen, a side she never thought existed. 

A turn of events at school leads Karla and her friends down a path that can open doorways they never knew were there. 

As Karla embraces this new perspective on what she thought she knew, her daily life changes forever. 

Will this change be for the good or will it lead Karla down a path she can never turn back from? 

Review:
A New Perspective is a fitting ending to this series. You get your HEA and Karla decides she will no longer be a victim. And...she decides to live her life and not just have it revolve around a boy. Love is a very powerful thing and few people find it at such a young age these days, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your dreams.

4 out of 5 stars!

A New Hope by Christina Escue

A New Hope is the second book in the Second Chance Series by Christina Escue.  It will be released on March 28th.  I had the privilege of reading this book very recently and I have to say, I like the story line to it and while we see the characters as more like children in the first book, you can definitely tell that they have grown up some in this book since many of them are facing challenges that have went from being accepted when they were younger to now having the challenges of deep relationships and whether to have sex or not since they are so young.  This is a clean book so it does not condone teenage sex or anything and I like the outlook that the adoptive dad, Andrew, has on this issue in particular.  Andrew tells his daughter's boyfriend, Connor, that he doesn't really approve of it but still wants them to be safe and that Connor can talk to him about whatever should he need to.  This book has a few different stories in it though, the most prominent being the appearance of Karla, the adoptive daughter, welcoming her brother, Elliot into the family.  After his grandmother dies, he comes to live with Karla and her family.  It is a tough adjustment for him.  He has dyslexia and has a really hard time reading.  It shows his struggles in and out of school.  My favorite though has to be the chemistry between Manuel and Callie.  Manuel is Karla's brother and Callie is Connor's twin sister.  The two of them have a kind of chemistry between them that is there from the moment Manuel shows up in the story, but he irks Callie to no end and she doesn't know what to do with her feelings.  This is a good read!  One definitely to check out when it is released!

Blurb:

Upon discovering she had a younger brother in Texas; Karla, Leslie and Andrew immediately go to him. What they didn’t expect was for tragedy to strike within days of their arrival. 

Elliot Matthews had known nothing but love his entire life. When his father was killed in a terrible accident he discovered his beloved grandmother was too ill to care for him, so she tracked down the mother he’d never known. Instead of a mother he got a sister he didn’t know existed. 

Now Karla must help Elliot deal with his grief as he adapts to new surroundings, makes new friends and learns that life really does go on.

A New Beginning (The Second Chance Series Book 1) by Christina Escue- Will be released October 18th!!

   On the day of her 14th birthday, Karla Hall is taken into police custody for shop-lifting.  She was starving and looking for something to eat in a smaller grocery store that didn't have the security bigger chains had.  An off-duty officer catches her and realizes that Karla is in more trouble than he originally thought.  Signs of abuse and neglect are obvious and the officer has to make some phone calls to the proper authorities.  Child services is called and Karla ends up giving statements about her condition, her mom and her mom's boyfriend, and has to go to the hospital for evaluation.  Cracked ribs and a cracked collar bone keep her in the hospital for a short while and gives the police time to figure out what to do with Karla.
   Kindness is not something that Karla had seen in many years, but once she was caught at the grocery store, people had been nothing but that to her.  Those around her recognize her need for a safe, stable environment where she can be loved and protected like any child should be.  The doctor on call at the hospital becomes Karla's foster parent, along with his wife.  Unable to have children of their own, they decide now is the time to take in a child.  They are the best foster parents she could ask for, but her future is still so very uncertain.  So many things happen that could change things, make them spiral out of control.  Like her peers at school.  Karla is desperate to be accepted and feel normal for once, but she isn't sure that will ever happen.



   A truly sad novel in some ways, this one brought tears to my eyes more than once.  Not sure if it is because I have children of my own, but the struggles this young girl goes through will get to you.  Karla Hall is one strong girl who has had a very hard life.  She sees things as they are, and not what she wants them to be.  Sometimes she's a bit on the negative side of things, but always determined to make the best of the situations that come upon her.  This is a good first book for this author.  Take a little time and check this book out!

About the Author:

 Hello everyone. I want to take a minute to introduce myself. I'm a 34 year old mother of two beautiful daughters, ages 11 and 7, and they are my life. I live in Lebanon, Tennessee, about 25 miles East of Nashville and have lived here most of my life. I love Tennessee.

I started reading when I was four years old and have always been an avid reader. In July of 2013 I started editing professionally and I love it. I always saw myself as a fixer, not a creator, until one day I was at work, not editing but my other job, and an idea for a story popped into my head and I couldn't get it out. That's how A New Beginning was born.
