REVIEW: An Ounce of Hope by Sophie Jackson


BUY LINKS:



BLURB:

From the fanfic phenom whose debut A Pound of Flesh had over 4.5 million reads, this sequel, An Ounce of Hope, tells the passionate love story of Carter’s best friend, Max.

Max O’Hare can’t seem to let go of his past: his drug habit, the end of his relationship with Lizzie Jordan, the woman he knows he’ll never get over, and the loss of their unborn son.

After successfully completing rehab and learning to explore his deepest fears and dreams through painting, Max meets Grace Brooks. With her innate optimism, and her love of art and photography, Grace appears to be the perfect girl. Yet no one knows where she came from, or why she keeps her past so closely guarded. Over time, Max and Grace gradually allow each other in—but will he ever be able to fully let go of his past? Or will his heart remain closed forever?


And she did it again!  

We get more Max O' Hare!

Pages filled with my Max.... oops did I call him mine? :P

Okay, let me compose myself and say that you must read this series!

Book 1 had me hooked and I was patiently waiting for this one.

Well it was worth the wait! 


Max is just a man who you will love, hate, want to grab and hug, slap him... he will become part of your world no matter how much you try not to let him.

Author Sophie Jackson words totally captured me into the world of Max & Grace.  She had my emotions all over the place.  I like books that do that.

Max's love story with Grace is not an easy one & in this book we get to see how it blossoms.  

Yes there is plenty of emotion and hot steamy times that will keep your book appetite quenched!

Go 1 click! A Must read!

My very favorite romance trope is childhood friends turned lovers. There’s just something about the innocence of a boy and a girl that makes my heart fill with happiness and then race when they struggle with crossing the line from friends to lovers.

Guy & Jules will win your heart like they did mine!

The title says it all.  

Riley Mackenzie blew me away with this book!

I am a fan of these ladies and this book just totally captured me.

Your heart will ache, will fill with the love that Guy & Jules have for one another and others, and I really enjoyed how the storyline and twists that I did not expect kept me guessing till the end.   It's definitely an emotional read.  

Love does not always have to be from blood, it can come in many forms by words & actions, and moments that will you will always cherish & that is what Guy & Jules do. 

I liked that this story had tons of  real life scenarios and dealt with hard issues.   It was a pleasant change to read a love story that had tons of tough love.

Go 1 click!  It's a must read!

TEASER THREE

         

RMsummerpic2


Yep. That's an “s.” There are two of us! We’re East coast girls separated by Long Island Sound who met in Physician Assistant School and have been besties ever since. We can safely say that thirteen miles of water does not get in the way because we talk or text, no exaggeration, at least 150 times a day. No, really, we do—about everything and nothing. Shockingly, we never (we mean never) run out of things to say. Umm, ever. We definitely laugh A LOT and we’re a tad sarcastic. And if we’re being totally honest, one or two people might have, on occasion, used our names and ‘dramatic’ in the same sentence. But it’s hard to trust the sources since they married us. It only took twelve years, two husbands, five kids, two dogs, and a two-week vacation in Cape Cod later to decide the romance world needed a splash of medicine. Write what you know. So you can easily find us at 4 o'clock on Bank Street beach with a glass of cold Prosecco brainstorming. And guaranteed if we bump into you, literally, it’s only because our iPhones are glued to our hands (totally out of our control) either writing or editing our next novel (and yes, it is possible to do from your iPhone, we mastered it … damn those straight quotations). When we are not working on our book or reading the latest angsty romance on our kindles, you basically name it and we have it going on. Soccer, lacrosse, golf, swimming, dance, gymnastics, football, chess, baseball, basketball, skiing, ice skating, school, homework, and more school. Oh yeah, did we forget to mention our careers in medicine? Needless to say, we realized fast that something had to go, so we opted for sleep. It’s completely overrated (yet so AMAZING) and delirium makes everything funnier. Good thing we share a brain and can pretty much complete each other’s sentences (definitely weird, we know), otherwise it might have taken us two years to write Beautifully Awake rather than one. So that’s our story, who we are … just add AUTHORS to the list!

COVER REVEAL: Midnight Lily by Mia Sheridan


Holden Scott is the prince of professional football. At least he was before he lost it all . . . or more to the point, before he threw it all away. Now he's out of a job, out of the public's good graces, and perhaps just a little out of his mind. So when a friend offers up his remote lodge in the wilds of Colorado, giving Holden some time away to get his life back on track, he can hardly say no. The last thing he expects is to see a beautiful girl in the woods—one wearing a white, lace dress who appears in the moonlight, and leaves no footprints behind. Is she a dream? A ghost? A product of his muddled imagination? Or something entirely different?

Midnight Lily is the haunting love story of two lost souls reaching for each other in the dark. A tale of healing, acceptance, and the worlds we create to protect our own hearts. It is a story of being lost, of being found, and of being in the place between.

THIS IS A STAND-ALONE SIGN OF LOVE NOVEL, INSPIRED BY VIRGO. Non-Paranormal, New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

SUMMARY:


Lily LeBlanc isn’t versed in the art of casual sex, but after seven years in an on-again, off-again relationship, she’s definitely willing to give it a shot. And who better to try it with than her best friend’s boyfriend’s best friend? What could possibly go wrong?
NHL player, Randy Ballistic, lives up to his last name on the ice and in the bedroom. His best friend and teammate has recently given up the puck bunnies and traded them in for a real girlfriend. And she just happens to have a seriously feisty, extra-hot best friend on the rebound. Randy’s more than happy to be Lily’s spring board back into the dating scene.
But casual sex is only casual until those pesky things called emotions get involved. Once that happens, someone’s bound to get pucked over.
