Release Day Blitz for Seductive Chaos By A. Meredith Walters

Release Day Blitz
·
Cole Brandt was the self-centered and philandering lead singer
for Generation RejectsVivian Baily was a flaky, attention seeking drama queen.
Apart they were challenging…together they were complete and total chaos.
Cole and Vivian were two people who should never have been together.
Yet they crashed into each other at every turn.
Their relationship was anything but stable. But it was passionate. It was messy. It was hopelessly seductive. And it might possibly drive them both insane.
They fought. They made up. They screamed. They made love.
They hated and they loved in equal measure.
And now that Generation Rejects are starting to hit it big and the band is on the road, temptation and massive egos could very well spell the end of their roller coaster.
If only they could stay away from each other.
But Vivian has finally reached her breaking point. Tired of their endless cycle, she is ready to say goodbye to Cole for good.
Yet Cole isn’t one to go away quietly. Particularly when he is starting to realize exactly what he stands to lose if Vivian walks away.
As his world begins to turn upside down, Cole realizes that the one person who can hold him together is the girl who may no longer want him.
Love can be a comedy of errors, particularly for two people who never seem to get the timing right.
And In the crazy world of rock and roll, the hardest lessons to learn just might be the ones with the sweetest rewards
I pressed myself up against Cole, my
face an inch from his. My heart was thumping wildly, my blood was buzzing
with fury.
“I am sick of your bullshit,
Cole. You better walk the line tonight or you’ll be sorry. Do I
make myself clear? I didn’t come all this way to be humiliated by
you. If you want me here, then fucking act like it,” I hissed.
Cole’s eyes snapped and sizzled, his
chest heaving up and down. He was flushed and just as furious as I was.
Then he grabbed the back of my head,
his fingers curling into my hair and smashed his mouth down on mine.
The kiss was bruising and
forceful. This wasn’t about romance. This was about
domination. I bit down on his bottom lip and could taste his blood.
He pulled away, his lips swollen and
bleeding. “I’m happy you’re here. Is that what you want me to
say? Is that what you want to hear?” He grabbed my upper arms and
pushed me back against the wall, his pelvis thrusting against mine.
“Does that make you happy?” he
demanded.
I couldn’t take my eyes away from
him. He was gorgeous. And he made me feel completely and totally
alive. I craved this manic insanity that I only seemed to experience when
I was with him.
Why couldn’t I be content with nice
and normal? Why did I crawl over broken glass for this madness?
Why did I allow Cole to degrade me
and humiliate me over and over again? Why did I scream at him and make a
scene just so I could get this reaction from him?
What the hell was wrong with me?
What the hell was wrong with us?
I was so turned on I could barely
stand. I wanted him to take me then and there. I didn’t give a crap
about the people openly gawking at us. I thrived on it.
I wanted the hard press of his body
against mine. I wanted the chaos.
“Yes! It makes me happy,” I bit out,
giving him that tiny victory.
“Good,” he said, leaning in and
kissing me tenderly on the nose. His thumbs caressed the side of my
face. A remarkably gentle act from such a volatile man.
“Stand in front. I want to see
you when I sing,” Cole murmured, leaning in to kiss me on the mouth. And
this one wasn’t hateful or angry. It was soft and almost loving.
And it shook me to my core.
Then he
was gone and I stood there, my back against the wall, trying to catch my
breath, not sure what the hell had just happened.

Bad Rep:
Book 1
"Who gives a damn about their reputation? Oh, that would be
me! Especially since mine had gone straight to hell in the span of thirty
minutes". Maysie Ardin is soaking up the summer before her junior year of college, shopping, hanging by the pool and shopping some more. But when her black belt in spending lands her in trouble with her parents, she is forced to take a second job at a local bar to dig herself out of a deep financial pit.
She thought she’d be miserable. But then Maysie didn’t count on Jordan Levitt, the hot, pierced and tattooed, drum playing bartender who also happens to be very interested in her. And the feelings are totally mutual.
It had the makings of the perfect romantic set up. Boy meets girl. Boy likes girl. Boy has girlfriend? Okay, maybe not.
But attraction is a hard thing to ignore and soon Jordan and Maysie find themselves in the middle of a gossip induced firestorm. Maysie has to learn whether she can set aside her fear of public disapproval in order to be with the one she wants. Or will she let the opinions of others dictate her life and her heart?
Perfect
Regret: Book 2
Riley Walker makes all the right decisions and knows exactly
where her life is headed.
Riley Walker does not make mistakes.
Riley Walker certainly doesn’t make spontaneous decisions.
But then Riley Walker gets dumped.
Spectacularly, gut-wrenching, stomp all over her heart dumped. And she is feeling more than a little angry. And a whole lot bitter. And suddenly the girl who has always done everything right feels like doing something completely wrong.
Garrett Bellows, lead guitarist for the local band, Generation Rejects, is going through life without a plan. Trying not to think past the next gig or the next party, he has worked hard to not become too attached to anyone or anything. So he is shocked to find himself drawn to the snarky girl with a chip on her shoulder. She pisses him off and puts him down. He knows she’s nothing more than a self-entitled college brat who thinks she’s better than the townie boy without a future.
Alcohol and a hefty dose of lust leads to a night both Riley and Garrett immediately regret. Her embarrassment, his pride and the weight of rumors and misconceptions convince Riley and Garrett that their one-time indiscretion will never be repeated. Particularly when their harshest critics are each other.
But how do you reconcile a head that wants to let go with a heart that keeps holding on?
And what happens when your biggest regret begins to seem almost perfect?

Book Review - Light in the Shadows (Find You in the Dark, #2) by A. Meredith Walters

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I fell in love with Maggie and Clay in Finding You in the Dark. As dysfunctional as I thought they were, I knew they would over come their shadows and there would be a light at the end of their tunnel .
This Book Was Incredible , It gave Maggie and Clay their light at the end of the tunnel and I enjoyed the journey to that light with them both.
This was one hell of a bumpy road , but it was also the most amazing journey I had ever been on with a book series . The healing, the trying to cope in the outside world, the recovery. It was amazing.
Clay , he was amazing, He loved Maggie with his whole heart, and he fought for that love by working to fix "himself" . As much as he felt like giving in so many times , he knew that he wanted that Happiness at the end of the tunnel with Maggie and by jesus he fought for it all the way to the end .
Maggie , I loved her I truly did , a couple times I will admit she did tick me off , with the whole (are you taking your meds) every time Clay had a moment, But as I read more of the story I understood where she was coming from and I understood that she had to re-build that trust that she had in Clay . The fact that she stood by him through it all Just swooned my heart for both of them completely. I loved watching them both work through things "together" , that in itself was amazing and showed truly how much she loved Clay with all her heart, and just how much Clay truly loved her.
"For a guy who struggled with finding his place in the world, standing next to Maggie, I understood one thing on a very fundamental level. Wherever she went, whatever she did, that is where I belonged."
Book Blurb:
How do you keep going when you feel like your life is over?
Maggie never thought she’d see Clay again. So, she attempts to put her life back together after her heart has been shattered to pieces. Moving on and moving forward, just as Clay wanted her to.
Clay never stopped thinking of Maggie. Even after ripping their lives apart and leaving her behind to get the help he so desperately needed. He is healing...slowly. But his heart still belongs to the girl who tried to save him.
When a sudden tragedy brings Maggie and Clay face to face again, nothing is the same. Yet some things never change. Can the darkness that threatened to consume them be transformed into something else and finally give them what they always wanted? And can two people who fought so hard to be together, finally find their happiness? Or will their demons and fear drive them apart for good?
The thing about love, is even when it destroys you, it has a way of mending what is broken. And in the shadows, you can still see the light
There is an Epilogue I cried my way through it, I was hanging onto every last word and I wanted more of Clay and Maggie, they do get their happy ending and it is the most amazing one . I loved every word of it all the way to the end.
"God I loved her... She was everything I wanted in my life but was still unsure I deserved... I wanted this. And I wanted to run from it. I wanted to pull her in and never let go. I wanted to push her away... I wanted to taste her skin and feel her heart beat beneath my lips."
This was the most amazing journey I have ever been on in a book series, The author did an upstanding job of bringing these two characters to life in this series. You literally feel every emotion with them through the whole ride.
If you have not read this series yet , you don't know what you are missing . Hands down one of the best series ever .
"You are everything good in my life. Even when I had thought all I had was the darkness... you gave me something to live for."
