ALL OF ME, the sixth and final novel in the INSIDE OUT series is Excerpt Entering the kitchen, I find Chris leaning on the marble countertop by the coffeepot, shirtless and in his pajama bottoms, the long strands of his blond hair a wild, sexy mess I’m pretty sure I created last night. He glances up from the paper he’s reading, then picks up his coffee cup. “Morning, Ms. McMillan.” “Morning, Mr. Merit,” I reply, grinning as I join him. He offers me his coffee cup and I happily accept it, taking a drink of the perfectly flavored coffee and creamer. Sharing a cup with Chris has this sexy, intimate feel to it that always does funny things to my belly. “Your last day as a free woman,” he comments. “Why? Are you planning to tie me up sometime soon?” He covers my hands on his cup. “Is that an objection, or wishful thinking?” He tilts the cup and drinks, his eyes never leaving mine. “I plead the Fifth. It’s more fun that way.” “That it is,” he agrees, but a sigh follows. “I wish I could do the same, but you’d better look at the newspaper.” He sets the cup on the counter, then hands me the Arts section of the local paper. Dread fills me as I read the headline: “Acclaimed Artist and Philanthropist Chris Merit to wed Sara McMillan on Valentine’s Day in Star-studded Event in Sonoma.” I set it down. “We went to so much trouble to get the press off our backs before the wedding, and now they’ve found us! I knew when all these famous people showed up on the guest list, it was going to turn into a zoo.” “Walker Security anticipated the press, and they’re staffed and ready for it. It’ll be fine. We’ll be shielded.” Nerves the size of birds, not butterflies, attack my stomach. “We should have eloped.” “We still can. Let’s do it. Now. Today.” “We can’t elope,” I say, sounding appalled, as if he’d suggested it, not me. “People who respect you are coming a long way to see us. And Katie has planned this for months.” “Baby, we can do whatever we want. This is our day.” “No. We can’t. Not this far into this. Which reminds me— you can’t stay here tonight. It’s bad luck to see the bride the night before the wedding.” “I told you how I feel about that. We make our own luck.” “Chris—” He kisses me. “I’m staying here tonight, and I’m fucking you like I won’t see you ever again, just to be sure you walk down that aisle.” “If you’re waiting for me at the end of that aisle, I’ll be there. And if you’re staying here tonight, we can use separate bedrooms.” “Does today count as part of that eve-of-the-wedding rule?” “Yes.” He scoops me up and I yelp. “What are you doing?” “I’m a renegade, baby. Let’s go break the rules.” SERIES READING ORDER & SALE LINKS Haven't started the INSIDE OUT series yet? Get the first 4 chapters of IF I WERE YOU plus BONUS CONTENT FREE for a LIMITED TIME ONLY!

STALK HER: Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Pinterest | Goodreads RELEASE DAY BLITZ SYNOPSIS Ren Miller never dreamed her life would turn out quite like this. On the cusp of qualifying for the brand new woman's UFC league, she's finally found the thing that makes her tick. She finally has a whole new life before her, but it’s one that doesn't include Ash Fuller. No one has seen or heard from Beat's Golden Boy in six months, not even Ren. He's disappeared off the face of the earth and he's just another person who's ended up abandoning her when she needed him the most. He broke her heart, but he took the one thing that was hers. Her spirit. When someone unexpected turns up at Beat with an ultimatum, Ren must make a decision. Go after Ash and her own heart or make her Dad's dream of winning a Championship come true. Will Ren choose to fight? Or sacrifice everything to save the man she loves? 18+ due to mature sexual content Literary Lust Review Ok so I was itching to get my hands on this after reading Beat and being left with one all mighty cliff hanger. So the second it hit my kindle I was straight on it, looking for the answers I NEEDED haha! As much as I love a good cliffy, patience is not my strong point ;) Pulse was not as gritty as Beat, but thats not as bad as you may think. The anx was amped up in Pulse and you got to see a totally different side to the characters. Ren is even more kick a** than before and Ash just gets better and better the more we watch him grow as a person.. (droooooool!) Loved the twists added by the entrance of Ash’s sister too! I enjoyed getting to know a little more about the twins, although I still feel like I need to know much much more of them and their story and I think its great how they look out for Ren especially Dean - i mean who wouldn’t want all these lean, mean fighting machines watching their back!? I was hooked from the beginning with my pure need for answers and the fact that they weren’t all revealed in the first chapter kept me reading and turning page after page to find them. The only downside I could mention was that I would have liked the ending to be a little more gutsy and explosive, maybe including a little more of the grit was saw in Beat, but I don’t want to go into too much detail here so as not to spoil the plot for everyone else! All in all another extremely well written book I would definitely recommend. 4 Stars Awarded from me! <3 GOODREADS LINK: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23200749-pulse PURCHASE LINKS US: http://amzn.to/1zbfFz2 UK: http://amzn.to/1HTzmRK AU: http://bit.ly/18KzdQS Kobo: Not available yet B&N: http://bit.ly/1DB5YcK iBooks: http://bit.ly/1KnVBvh Smashwords: http://bit.ly/1yB6HYb ALSO AVAILABLE #1 Beat US: http://amzn.to/YYSvgg UK: http://amzn.to/1rI7BRd AU: http://bit.ly/1mYB8HC Kobo: http://bit.ly/1pLjeTz B&N: http://bit.ly/ZA2zgM iBooks: http://bit.ly/1viEnZn Smashwords: http://bit.ly/1HSVjAs AUTHOR BIO

A brotherhood who would fight, protect, and give their lives for one another. A club whose ties ran thicker than blood, murkier than the dirt and grime that tainted my soul. Stronger than the bonds that connected me to my own family. A band of brothers, where loyalty was kept and paid in a currency of blood. When I was twenty-seven, I betrayed that brotherhood. I’ve spent every day since running, avoiding paying back that debt. My name is Daniel Johnson. I have betrayed everyone I ever loved. And I’ll betray her too. This is my story—if you’re screwed up enough to want to read it. Warning: KICK contains graphic violence, profanity, drug use, and explicit sexual situations of a taboo nature. Intended for an 18+ audience only. Not intended for pussies.

I gotta hand you over.” Her panicked gaze meets mine. “He’ll shoot you.” “No, he won’t.” “Yes, he will.” I smile down at her. “What are we just gonna stand here forever, you in my arms, your dad holding a gun to my head? If he shoots me, he shoots me. Ain’t nothing I can do about that, Princess. At least I’ll know I did one thing right.” She takes a deep, shaky breath. “I’d be dead if it weren’t for you.” I nod, because it’s true. If Slayer hadn’t come at a deal, Prez would’ve eventually killed her, and he’d have tortured her some more first. “Promise me somethin’?” “What?” “Get on your feet and then get the hell outta here. Prez will come looking for you again. He’s not a guy who likes to lose. Take as much money as you can, and get the fuck away from this life, otherwise you’re gonna wind up filling a body bag way too young.” Lauren is wrenched away from me then. She screams as the Italian carts her off toward the clubhouse, flailing and slapping at him despite her injuries. “Daniel!” she screams, reaching out toward me as he struggles to get her inside. Without thinking I take a step forward, but I’m attacked from behind. My knees go out from under me and I’m shoved face-first into the ground. Some heavy motherfucker sits down on my back. I buck, trying to unseat him, but I’m whacked in the back of the head until I stop. “Well, isn’t that fuckin’ touching? The Angel scum, in love with my daughter? Didn’t I warn you away from her once before?” Slayer asks, circling me like a predator circles prey. The biker using me for a chair shoves his gun against the back of my skull. “Yeah, I did,” Slayer continues, and he motions for the guy on top of me to force me to stand. I’m dragged up by the hair and presented to Slayer. “At the rally, where she fuckin’ went missin’!” His red, blotchy face almost touches mine. He’s so close I can see the blood vessels snaking out from the corners of his eyes. He’s fucking high. His daughter’s been locked up, raped, beaten, treated like a fuckin’ animal over some shit that she shouldn’t even have to know about, and the arsehole’s gettin’ high as a fuckin’ kite instead of findin’ her? He makes me sick. He’s everything I hate about the life. And he’s more than likely exactly where I’ll end up, because this is what we are—this is what livin’ in the club gets you: bitterness, enemies, and a shit-tonne of bad blood. Literary Lust Review of Kick by ZoeI didn't think I'd be a fan of MC books and having previously only read one other I thought I'd give it a go and step out of my comfort zone. After reading about the Savage Saints it seems MC's may be my new favorite. Boy did I love Kick! He has the perfect balance of being a dickhead a wounded soul and a nice guy caught up in a life he had no choice but to be part of. I loved Kick from the outset despite his brutality at points I never saw him as the bad guy the girls he had sex with were pretty much always willing and other than turning a blind eye he was never really outright bad. I think this allowed me to warm to the story more, the fact that Kick was as much a victim as the girls have him a softer side and for every wrongdoing there was a reason. Don't be fooled though this is not a story of hearts and flowers the scenes are graphic and the happenings are brutal, just wait until you meet the dentist-ewwww! There's an element of Stockholm syndrome and the usual MC behavior. It's definitely not a book for the lighthearted. All in all I enjoyed this book and was captivated from the start, the only thing holding me back from 5 stars is probably the fact that I didn't think Kick was ever that bad. I thoroughly enjoyed the book though and whether you enjoy MC or not you should definitely read it. It's my first Carmen Jenner book and definitely won't be my last! I can't wait for book two. 4.5 dark, brutal, brilliant storytelling stars KICK Book Trailer: http://tinyurl.com/o84xd5g Join the KICK Release Day Party: http://on.fb.me/1t9xQnN Support the KICK Thunderclap campaign: http://bit.ly/1EcrVCz Enter the KICK Paperback Giveaway: http://bit.ly/1t9xYnn Visit the Saint Savage MC official website: http://savagesaintsmc.blogspot.com.au/ Additional books by this author Welcome to Sugartown Amazon: http://amzn.to/13X0U6S B&N: http://bit.ly/1yjefiK iTunes: http://bit.ly/1skhr98 Enjoy Your Stay Amazon: http://amzn.to/1tqG4Bc B&N: http://bit.ly/1zaoEhy iTunes: http://bit.ly/1sqXUVI Greetings from Sugartown Amazon: http://amzn.to/1yjdLJp B&N: http://bit.ly/1qw1Jbs iTunes: http://bit.ly/1yjeZ7w Welcome to Sugartown Website: http://www.welcometosugartown.blogspot.com.au/ Carmen Jenner

Too bad Brysen faces a threat close to home that might be more dangerous than anything The Point has ever produced.. And the only person interested in keeping her safe is the one man she can’t allow herself to have. Sometimes being bold is the only way to stay alive. But can she let Race save her life . . . if it means losing herself to him? Excerpt: I wheeled the Mustang into the compound and watched to make sure the gates swung closed behind us. The security lights flickered on overhead, casting her in an ethereal, bluish glow. Everything about her was refined and pure looking. God, I wanted to mess her up. I wanted my hands in her hair, my marks on her skin, and my taste in her mouth. I wanted her to look as rough as she made me feel on the inside. No one had ever riled me up like that before. Maybe because I was so used to just getting without having to ask, and Brysen never offered that to me. I always had to ask her what the next move was going to be, and her answers often surprised me. She was not a sure bet, and I think the challenge of that made her even more desirable. “The lengths we go to in order to keep our family safe, to do right by those we love, is often a weighty burden to bear.” I got out of the car and went around to let her out of the passenger side. When I pulled her up, I pressed her back into the side of the car with the full length of my body and bent down so that my mouth hovered enticingly over the plump ridge of hers. “I would do anything for Dovie, anything. I have done things for her that made me hate the man I had to be in order to do them, but it was in her best interest. I admire you being able to put your own life down and pick up a different one out of loyalty to your sister, but somewhere in there, you need to remember she’s going to have to learn to take care of herself. She’ll eventually have to admit that your parents are fucked and move on with her own life. Dovie found the one person in the world to love who has the ability to insulate her from anything the Point wants to throw at her. Your sister will eventually have to find her stability as well. She won’t need you forever.” I saw something flare deep in those cerulean eyes, a spark of pain, maybe of realization that I was right, but then it was gone and she was pressing up on her tiptoes and sealing her mouth over mine. I let my hands glide down her sides and fall under her backside. She had the nicest butt on any girl I had ever seen, the nicest body really. There was no end to all her curves and dips, and anywhere my hands decided to land, they were filled with firm and sexy flesh. The brief glimpse I had had of her out of her towel the last time we were this close together had been enough to burn out the image of any other female I might’ve seen naked in the last few years. All I could see was Brysen and her pretty, pale skin, her high breasts with perfectly pink nipples, and her most private of places that were just at elegant and alluring as the rest of her. She was a blond bombshell and I could feel my body urging me to stop playing around and finally seal the deal with her.And don’t miss the previous book in The Point Series!BETTER WHEN HE’S BADAbout Jay Crownover: Jay Crownover is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Marked Men and The Point series.
