Cover Reveal: I Stand Before You by S.R. Grey
Title: I Stand Before You (Judge Me Not #1)
Author: S.R. Grey
Expected release date: September 12-19, 2013
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Age Group: New Adult
When it comes to tattooed bad boys, Chase Gartner is the real deal.
Partying, engaging in meaningless sex, getting into fights—Chase
indulges in it all during his late teen years, thus firmly solidifying
his status as a heartbreakingly gorgeous but way-too-dangerous-to-trust
guy in his hometown of Harmony Creek, Ohio. Then, following one fateful
night of reckless decisions, Chase’s actions finally catch up to him and
land him in prison.
Now, four years have passed and Chase finds himself a free man. He
returns to Harmony Creek, ready to pick up the pieces and start
rebuilding his shattered life.
Things are off to a promising start when he meets Kay Stanton, a
young woman with a tragic past of her own. Despite a powerful
attraction, Chase and Kay are naturally hesitant to become involved.
That’s why friendship feels like the safest option. But when passions
ignite and love blossoms, a relationship that is destined and meant to
be can only be resisted for so long. When Chase and Kay finally succumb
to their feelings they realize being together feels more right and true
than anything they have ever experienced. But their love is soon tested. Chase’s wild past still haunts and
tempts him, and Kay is keeping a secret that could tear them apart.
I Stand Before You is a journey of hope and forgiveness, coming to
terms with the past and moving forward. But mostly it’s a story of two
damaged people who take a chance, open their hearts, and find true love.

Josh & Hannah (Redwood Falls #1) by Lynda Chance
Josh Turner wants Hannah more than life itself. She's perfect and new . . . but she's a McIntyre. She's from the richest family in the county, and he's a Turner, from the wrong side of the proverbial tracks. And to make matters worse, there's no love lost between their families.
New Adult 92K words / suitable for 18+ AN ALPHA-MALE IN THE MAKING
Four Stars
“You belong to me now, understand? You’re mine; we’re exclusive. Nobody else gets to touch you, and I mean not at all.” His nostrils flared and Hannah’s heart stopped before taking up a faster cadence. “I own you.” His eyes searched hers. “I hope like hell you can handle it.”
Saw this book last night while surfing GR last night and when I saw the words Alpha-Male in the making, I was sold. God, I’m so easy. This was pretty simple read, nothing too complex or anything, though it was a bit repetitive at times.
For those looking for an adult, steamy novel, this isn’t really what you want. I guess it’s more of a New Adult – with just a little bit of steam, lots of making out which led to a whole lot of sexual frustration. But that’s okay. The main reason why I picked it up was because of Josh – the Alpha-Male in the making.
Josh was stunned when his kiss of compassion derailed against his will, because a kiss of hunger and need.
Hannah McIntyre and Josh Turner have been neighbors for most of their life, but their lives are nothing alike. Hannah comes from a wealthy, loving family. Josh spent most of his childhood with his abusive, low-life drunk of father. At the age of thirteen, his aunt and uncle took him away from that life, but he constantly worried that the reputation of his father would follow him.
Hannah was only fifteen when her and Josh’s life would change forever. When he witnessed beautiful young Hannah being shunned by the mean girls at this high school, he felt the need to intervene. He kissed her in front of everyone. He soon found out that he was her first kiss. After that revelation, he instant felt the need to protect her; to possess her. He has never felt this way about anyone before, not in his eighteen years of his life. Women have always come easy. She turned his world upside down, but there was a catch: She was a McIntyre and she was only fifteen.
He wanted her with an ache in his gut that he knew couldn’t be appeased by someone else. There was no sense in even trying. It had to be Hannah. Only Hannah. And with turmoil settling in his stomach, he knew that he couldn’t have her. At least not yet.
As much as Josh wanted Hannah, he knew he had to set some limits. He was eighteen, she fifteen. She was a girl with a good reputation, good family background, and he was the son of drunk. What could he possibly give her? But no matter what, he couldn’t stay away from her. Their connection strong, their hold on each other was beyond anything either could comprehend. They were infatuated with one another. Could two people with so many roadblocks (family, money, age) have a chance at a relationship?
All he could think about was the fact that no one would ever have Hannah but him. He would have all her kisses, he would be the guy who took her out and held her clamped to his side; he would be the one who eventually took her virginity
It’s no secret that the biggest reason why I enjoyed this story so much was because of Josh and his extreme Alpha-ness; he was possessive, strong, and oh so protective of Hannah. I will never tire of Alpha Heroes. NEVER. I’m sure guys who are like this in real life aren’t as charming, but that’s why I love immersing myself in these types of books where I know, well at least the majority of the time, that they have a soft spot for the women they love. **sigh** Yea, I can’t get enough of them.
The story did get a little repetitive at times, especially in regards to why Josh was so adamant on waiting. It felt like every chapter it had to be repeated that he was waiting for her to become of age. Not only that, but he was fixated at how Hannah had come from a family of wealth. Oh the pride of men. Very repetitive.
I will definitely be checking out the next book in the series about Hannah’s brother, Zach and Josh’s cousin, Katie. I had an inkling that these two had some chemistry brewing. I’m so looking forward to reading that.

that changed when my life spiralled onto a similar path."
The University of Alabama.
Crimson Tide Football.
One unattainable senior star Quarterback.
And, me, Molly Shakespeare, an English transfer
student.
All it took was one look. One fateful gaze into
a set of chocolate brown eyes and my world shifted on its axis. Only weeks into
life at a new American College and he entered my world -- Romeo Prince.
Romeo's devastating bad-boy façade and stern
tone captured my heart in an instant and for the first time in years, I'd found

who made me... feel.
A darkness.
An uncontrollable anger.
An almost-realised NFL dream.

choose duty or choose love. Both came with consequences, but one would change
his life forever.

ABOUT TILLIE COLE
Tillie Cole is a Northern
girl through and through. She originates from a place called Teesside on that
little but awesomely sunny (okay I exaggerate) Isle called Great Britain. She
was brought up surrounded by her English rose mother -- a farmer's daughter,
her crazy Scottish father, a savagely sarcastic sister and a multitude of
rescue animals and horses.
Being a scary blend of Scottish and English,
Tillie embraces both cultures; her English heritage through her love of HP
sauce and freshly made Yorkshire Puddings, and her Scottish which is mostly
demonstrated by her frighteningly foul-mouthed episodes of pure rage and her
much loved dirty jokes.
