📚

Synopsis for ‘FIGHTING FATE‘:

  • Axelle’s broken.

    I live to hold her together.

    Killian McCreery only has two dreams . . .

    Fight for the UFL.

    And Axelle.

    He’s watched her give her time and her body to men who don’t deserve to breathe her air. He’swaited, worked hard to become the kind of man she deserves, hoping one day, when the time isright, he’d get the opportunity to make her happy. After a painful anniversary, he finally gets his

    chance.

    But life has a way of sucker-punching its victims—striking when they least expect it in the most devastating ways.

    Killian loves me.

    But I screwed up. Big time.

    Axelle Daniels appears to be the typical college student—parties, hangovers, and men. No one knows that inside she’s a mess, and no amount of booze or meaningless relationships have managed to fill the cracks in her heart. But Killian knows. He’s been there since the night it all began and has never left her side.

    When she wakes up one morning to find the consequences of her actions have caught up to her, even Killian’s white-knighthood can’t save her now.

    Fate is put to the test when, for the first time in their five-year friendship, they no longer have each other to lean on. When he becomes a UFL superstar, she hardly recognizes the man he used to be. And she no longer needs him to hold her together.

    With the foundation of their friendship gone, they’ll discover that even a love that is meant to be needs to be fought for and destiny is a choice.

‘IN YOUR DREAMS’ (Standalone. Spin-off to the Falling Series) by Author Ginger Scott.

In Your Dreams 1

Full Book Cover Reveal for ‘In Your Dreams’

In Your Dreams 2

📚

Synopsis for ‘IN YOUR DREAMS’:

Casey Coffield has a growing list of personal flaws he keeps locked away
in his head:
He’s never on time.
His list of IOUs to his best friend is endless.
Money is always short.
Goals are never in reach.

Oh, and he’s decided to add college drop-out to that list, too. He doesn’t
really think that last one’s such a bad thing, but his family insists it
is, so it stays on the list.

On paper, he’s a zero. But in person, when he’s mixing tracks for a sea of
bodies at the hottest clubs and parties, he’s downright irresistible.
Just-right stubble on his chin, body of a boxer and a smirk that
stimulates all the right nerves—women have never been a problem. They
flock to his swagger and fall for his charm…fast.

All except for this one.

Purple hair, gray eyes, a raspy voice and sass, Murphy Sullivan is a
little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll. And her and Casey? They
have history. He can’t remember it, but she wrote a song about him—and
it’s not exactly a love song. But it is good. Damn good. And uncovering
her inspiration just might be the key to solving a few of his
shortcomings—not to mention open doors to his own big break in the music
industry.

But sometimes dreams get messy when they collide. Sometimes life changes
patterns. A past paints the wrong picture and futures get cloudy. The only
question that remains is who will you choose when the dust settles—you? Or
the girl of your dreams?

The Synopsis:

HE’S HELL ON WHEELS.
Tall, dark, and dangerously handsome, Zane “Tracker” Colter is the strong, silent type of tattooed muscle biker who drives women wild. But as a master of strategy for the outlaw MC club, Sinner’s Tribe, he doesn’t have time to play around with groupies and biker chicks-especially when he can’t stop thinking about Evie, the girl who got away…

SHE’S PLAYING WITH FIRE.
Evie’s been in love with Zane ever since they were children-until he broke her heart and disappeared. Now he’s back in her life, bigger and badder than ever. Zane is stunned by how beautiful and confident Evie’s become, using her artistic talent to customize motorcycles. He wants her so bad, he’d ride through fire to win her back. There’s one problem: Evie is dating his deadliest rival-the leader of the Black Jacks-and if Evie and Zane hook up, there’ll be hell to pay…

My ‘Blogging Reader’s Review’ after reading ‘SINNER’S STEEL’:

***WARNING: Possible SPOILERS if you haven’t read the previous Novels of the Sinner’s Tribe MC Series.***

“Sinner’s Steel” is the third novel of the Sinner’s Tribe Motorcycle Club Series by Author Sarah Castille. I was given a copy of this intense and thrilling novel to read and share my review for readers. This novel continues the satisfying style of romance that any fan of MC novels looks for: hot alpha males, strong female characters regardless of flaws, and a not-so-easy love story. You’ll be reading this story from the two P.O.V.’s(point of views) of the main characters Zane “Tracker” Colton and Evangeline “Evie” Monroe.

Zane “Tracker” Colton has always remembered the one that got away. Even though technically, he’s the one that left her behind because of difficult circumstances. Zane, who’s now known as Vice President Tracker in the Sinner’s Tribe Motorcycle Club, has been living his life under a new persona which is tougher, darker and violent when necessary. When the MC tries to get a hold of a betrayer, he comes across a piece of his past that has always been the hardest part to get over completely: “Evie.”

Evangeline “Evie” Monroe grew up in a home of secrets and always felt alone. The only people in her life that ever made her feel safe and loved were her two childhood best friends, Zane and Jagger. They grew up together and always made each other feel better by being their when each one needed some kind of support. When Zane and Evie take a chance one night by following their hearts, that night would become such a turning point in their lives and they didn’t even know how much.

Evie is now a single mother and doesn’t have much of a dating life. She takes a chance getting to know a biker by the name of “Viper” who happens to be an MC President but she doesn’t know much else about that part of his life. He seems so genuine and easy to talk to so Evie doesn’t mind spending some time with him. But when her past and present collide, all hell breaks loose.

When Zane and Evie’s paths cross after so long, how will things go? Will Evie ever find out the whole story of what happened the night that her father was killed and why Zane disappeared that same night? Will Zane be able to get over Evie or will he finally confess about why he left her when he did so long ago? There are so many intriguing questions that will be answered in “Sinner’s Steel” and it will blow you away. The characters continue to amaze and there is just something so likeable about Evie and Zane. She is naive to the MC lifestyle but she quickly learns that not everything is as it seems. Zane carries such loyalty to his MC and his brothers, especially his best friend and MC President Jagger, but Evie has always meant everything to him. This leads you to a gritty, suspenseful, dangerous, and love-filled ride! I recommend this novel and look forward to seeing what else develops in the Sinner’s Tribe MC world! 🙂

★★‘SINNER’S STEEL’ is the 3rd novel of the ‘Sinner’s Tribe Motorcycle Club Series’. What else is in the series:★★

MEMORABLE QUOTES & LINES FROM ‘SINNER’S STEEL’

Jagger and Zane:  “Why didn’t you let her know it was you?” Jagger asked…
“It’s complicated.” After meeting on the elementary school playground all those years ago, Jagger, Zane, and Evie had stuck together, leaning on each other for support and comfort, sharing good times and bad…

Evie’s thought:  Zane. The intense connection and chemistry that had first drawn them together hadn’t changed. But she had. She was finally in control of her life. No longer at the mercy of her mother’s emotional abuse, or longing for a father who was rarely home…

Zane and Evie:  “Tell me, Evie. Tell me you want me.”
“I want you. It was always you.”
Steeling herself, she forced herself to meet his gaze. “But when I gave up hoping you would ever come back, I let you go. I’m sorry, Zane. I’m not ready to open that door again.”
“Whatever it takes for you to trust me, I’ll do. If you want me to go slow, I’ll go slow. If you need gentle, I’ll be gentle. I will do what it takes, however long it takes. But I won’t let anyone else have you. You are mine, Evie. You’ve been mine since you were eight years old. And now that I’ve found you again, I’m not gonna let you go.”

Zane and Jagger discuss Evie:  It was a debt he could never repay.
“I don’t want this life for her, Jag.” He reached over, threaded his fingers through hers. “I want her to have the kind of life she had before. Safe. Peaceful. I can’t give her that when I’m wearing this cut, and I can’t give it to her as a civilian with a damn warrant hanging over my head.”
“You’d give up the life?”
“I’d give up anything for her.”

How We Deal With Gravity by Ginger Scott

📚

Synopsis for ‘HOW WE DEAL WITH GRAVITY’:

When her son Max was diagnosed with autism, Avery Abbot’s life changed forever. Her husband left, and her own dreams became a distant fantasy—always second to fighting never-ending battles to make sure Max was given opportunity, love and respect. Finding someone to fight along her side wasn’t even on her list, and she’d come to terms with the fact that she could never be her own priority again.

But a familiar face walking into her life in the form of 25-year-old Mason Street had Avery’s heart waging a war within. Mason was a failure. When he left his hometown five years ago, he was never coming back—it was only a matter of time before his records hit the billboard charts. Women, booze and rock-n-roll—that was it for him. But it seemed fate had a different plan in mind, and with a dropped record contract, little money and nowhere to go, Mason turned to the only family that ever made him feel home.

Avery loved Mason silently for years—until he broke her heart…completely. But time and life have a funny way of changing people, and sometimes second chances are there for a reason. Could this one save them both?

📚

My ‘ARC-Blogging Reader’s Review’ after reading ‘HOW WE DEAL WITH GRAVITY’:

Thank you to Author Ginger Scott for offering me the opportunity to read and review an ARC-early copy of your latest upcoming novel ‘How We Deal With Gravity’.  The story follows a young single mother who has been raising her autistic son on her own, with the support and help of her father and best friend. And we also meet her former crush, who left town to pursue his music career but ends up finding himself back in his hometown when things don’t go so well on the road.  The story is told through the two P.O.V.’s(point of views) of Avery and Mason.

Avery ‘Birdie’ Abbot is the single mother of smart, unique and autistic son Max.  She has learned to handle the challenges in life that she has been given and has made the best of it all.  Her husband abandoned Avery and Max when he was diagnosed with autism because he could not handle the responsibility.  Avery works at ‘Dusty’s Bar’ that her father Ray owns.  Everyday for Avery is planned out with very little change in order to make things easier on her son.  Then he came back to town… stirring old memories of the boy who use to stay in her home and was her first big crush (possible first love). Only problem, he never even seemed to really take notice of her and the only few times he did, were to nickname her ‘Birdie’ and another time that scarred her.  She had no idea that one day, that same guy would return to Cave Creek, Arizona and bring so many changes to the planned out life she had already become so adapted to.  And in turn, would also revive feelings in her that she never thought she’d feel for any man, again.

Mason Street began writing, singing and making music on his guitar since he was in his wild teenage years.  The band he was a part of signed deal and were on the road soon after high school.  Life seemed great except Mason and his band mates began to sour from the deal after performing at dive bars and actual studio time was no where in sight. They were soon partying hard and eventually dropped from their deal and ended up back where it all began, Cave Creek.  Now, with little money and a slap by reality, Mason returns to ‘Dusty’s Bar’ owned by the man who first believed in his talent and became like a father to him. Ray welcomes Mason back and invites him to stay with him since he really didn’t want to stay at his mom’s place because of their rocky history.  Mason never noticed the daughter of his role model much before but now they are both adults and life has a way of making us take notice of the things that were there all along.

‘How We Deal With Gravity’ is a touching and wonderful story about second chances, finding love and learning to find strength through the challenges in life.  I commend Ginger Scott for sharing this great story with readers, bringing autism to the forefront next to the love story, in such a gingerly way.  : )  Much respect to those who raise beautiful autistic children like Avery in this story, you deserve a great amount of applause.  I do recommend this endearing novel because of the fantastic storyline and inspiring characters.  Ginger Scott, you’ve done your magic again.

MEMORABLE QUOTES & LINES FROM ‘HOW WE DEAL WITH GRAVITY’

Avery’s thoughts:  Max has a hard time focusing on things he doesn’t want to do.  In fact, lately, unless it has to do with the moon or the stars or how the earth rotates, it doesn’t have a place in Max’s world.  But Claire’s managed to find ways around the distractions.

Avery’s thoughts:  -I’m nowhere near the girl I was at eighteen.  That girl was hopeful and innocent.  That girl didn’t have a little boy who depended on her for everything -a little boy who she wasn’t sure would be able to survive kindergarten, let alone this world.

Avery’s thoughts on her best friend Claire:  Claire has given up her social life over the last three years just to help me get through school.  Sadly she’s the husband Adam never was, and I wish like hell I could tell her to live her life, set her free.  But I can’t, because some days she’s the only thing holding me together.  And Max -oh, Max -he responds to her more than anyone else.

Avery’s thoughts:  I used to stare at those hands in high school, when he’d sit up there on that stage and strum his guitar for hours at a time.  I had goddamned fantasies about those hands, but I learned to hate them pretty quick.

Mason’s thoughts on Avery:  She used to sit in the hall when I sat on the spare bed and played a song.  She’d never come all the way into the room – too nervous.  But she would sit there, with her skinny legs folded up into her chest, hugging them to her body.  She was good at school – student council, honor society… shit like that.  I scraped by.

Mason’s thoughts:  This guitar has always been home.  As soon as I touch the strings, I’m gone -there’s this melody I’ve been trying to work out for weeks.  I haven’t written in months, but this one phrase seems to keep repeating every time I play.  There’s something wrong with it, but I just can’t seem to work it out.  It’s kind of like my life.

Avery’s thoughts on Mason:  Watching him play, the way he loves that instrument, the way his brown eyes shut and his lips whisper small phrases, ideas for lyrics.  That’s the reason women love musicians -it’s all right there in Mason’s hands, his eyes, his lips.  Mason is the perfect package… on the outside.  I could almost forget everything watching him now.

Mason:  “This one’s ‘Wild Horses’.”   When her tray falls, my heart speeds up.  I know I’m in trouble.  But I’ve been in trouble before.  I love trouble.  So I start to play, and when I sing, I keep my eyes on her the entire time, just waiting for the moment she turns around.  She never does.  But she doesn’t move from her spot, either, and I think maybe she’s in trouble too.

Avery’s thoughts:  Mason Street is going to crush me -he’s going to rip open my heart… again.  He’s going to completely destroy me, unless I can stand here and convince myself that my heart isn’t pounding out of my goddamned chest just listening to his perfect voice.

Avery’s thoughts:  Max is always telling me about gravity, and how it pulls two masses together.  Gravity.  That’s what I’m feeling right now.

Avery and Mason:  “Mason, I want this. I want you…”-(Avery)
“God, I want you to want me. And I think a part of you does… and maybe a month ago… hell, a couple of weeks ago? Yeah, that would have been fine. I would have taken the sign, and torn the rest of your clothes away to take you completely… not giving a damn about what it meant tomorrow. But here’s the thing. I kinda give a shit about what this means tomorrow, Avery.”-(Mason)

Ray(Avery’s dad) to Avery:  …don’t give up on your own happiness just because you’re afraid it’s too damn hard to have.  Because Ave, you only get to have right now once in your life -there are no re-dos, there is no going back and doing right now again.  You get this once, and you can take a chance on it, or live regretting you didn’t.

Mason’s thoughts:  In the last two months I’ve built this file of memories, and it’s all wrapped up in the Abbot family -they’re my family.
