I am a 28 year old married mother of 2. Writing has always been a passion of mine; ranging from poems and short stories to novella's. My wish is to someday see my name on the big screen with a production based on something I've written or thought up.

Beautiful Addictions Promo

Beautiful Addictions

by Season Vining

Release: January 28, 2014

Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Synopsis

Josie Banks is a girl without a past. After being found unconscious with no memory, she was shuffled in and out of foster homes where she suffered years of abuse. An experience that left her broken, damaged, and clinging to drugs and meaningless hook-ups to numb her pain.

When Josie disappeared years ago, she took a piece of Tristan with her. She’s the girl he thought he lost forever—the one he’s never been able to forget. Now a twist of fate has brought them back together, and he never wants to let her out of his inked arms again. But Tristan is haunted by a dark past of his own. On the run from ruthless criminals that shattered Josie’s world years ago, reentering her life puts them both in danger. As Josie and Tristan’s lives become tangled once again, they find themselves unwilling and unable to escape the relentless pull that draws them together. But will the past leave their love in ruins—or bind them together for a lifetime?

Excerpt

Josie craved his touch and she couldn’t understand why they hadn’t had sex yet, or any form of it. She wanted it; her fingers ached to touch him in places she’d only yet imagined. It was obvious that Tristan felt the same way, so she failed to make sense of his need to take things slow. She longed to feel his sweat slicked skin against hers and inhale the scent of their bodies combined. Not ready to admit any kind of emotional connection, she desperately needed a physical one. It was the only thing she was comfortable with.

She found it curious that her dependency seemed to be shifting. No longer did she need meaningless sex or drugs to numb her. Josie only wanted to submerge herself in Tristan, to soak up everything he offered. He was her new addiction.

Tristan was in a constant state of arousal in Josie’s company. Never able to completely relax, his muscles remained tense and rigid with yearning. If it had been any other girl, he would have taken her already, hard and fast, several times. But he knew that Josie used sex to avoid attachment. He didn’t want to be just another mark on her therapeutically notched bedpost. To him, Josie was something new, yet familiar, something he wanted to cherish. He felt like two ancient souls, separated for a lifetime, had suddenly been reunited.

Unable to contain the sexual tension clawing at her skin, Josie slid her notebook from her lap and straddled Tristan. He gave her his lopsided grin as his long fingers wrapped around her waist. Josie smiled triumphantly, thinking that she’d already won.

“What are you up to?” he asked, dipping his head so that his lips pressed ever so softly to her shoulder.

“I need to feel you Tristan. Just touch me.” The sound of Josie’s words echoed around the quiet room. “I want you.”

Those three little words left him breathless. Such a brazen statement from Josie sent his willpower into a faltering tailspin. He hummed in agreement, sliding his kisses down to her neck.

Josie ran her nails along Tristan’s scalp, making his eyes close in contentment. The feel of her hot body pressing down on him caused momentary insanity, totally emptying his brain of rational thought. He wanted her more than anything he’d ever wanted before. Not here, not now. There was so much more to say.

“Can I take you out?” Tristan asked, suddenly moving his hands back down to her waist and resuming a neutral position.

“Out of the apartment?”

“Out on a date,” he clarified.

“A date?” Josie asked, her frightened voice making the words sound foreign.

"You know, an appointment for a particular time, especially with a person to whom one is sexually or romantically attached."

"Are we attached?" she asked, not really knowing what she wanted the answer to be.

"More than you know," he answered.

All The Pretty Poses Tour and review

ABOUT ALL THE PRETTY POSES:

He never wanted to be a hero…until she needed him to be.

Strength…

It took Kennedy Moore years to put her life back together after Reese Spencer shattered it. But she did. Now, years later, strong and independent, she is in pursuit of a single dream—to dance with the Altman American Dance Theater. Unfortunately, Kennedy is learning that a girl from nowhere with no money and no contacts might never be able to reach her goal.

That is, until Reese reappears, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Kennedy just can’t refuse. In exchange for working on his yacht for a few short weeks, he’ll get her an audition with the famous dance troupe. All Kennedy has to do is keep her head down, work hard and resist Reese. That sounds easy enough, right?

Weakness…

Reese doesn’t want to make it easy for Kennedy. Seeing her again has started a fire in his blood—an unwelcome one. It took him years to forget about her before, so this time he has a plan. It’s simple: Get Kennedy on his yacht, seduce her, get her out of his system, move on with his life. That sounds easy enough, right?

But the one thing Reese didn’t plan for was Kennedy herself—a girl so strong yet so broken, she makes him want to rescue her, to take care of her. To save her. Even if he has to save her from himself.

Lorelei's A+ Review

*****Given an ARC in exchange for an honest review for Nerd Alert Book Love Blog*****

All The Pretty Poses is the story of Harrison "Reese" Spencer. He is the brother of Hemi from book one, All The Pretty Lies. You get small taste and introduction to Reese in the first book. I was super happy to find out book two us his story.

"...I just saw someone that I haven't seen in year. I knew him when I was younger. I thought he was...he was...wow!..."

Reese is a very powerful and driven business man. He has created an entire line of different businesses based on men's wants. On their fantasies, desires, and on total luxury. But his world gets turned upside down when his past is up on his stage In one of his clubs dancing.

"...Now would you like to tell me what you are doing dancing in one of my clubs?..."

Kennedy wanted Reese to be her hero and rescue her as a teenager, not walk away from her and help break her completely. Kennedy loved Reese as best as a teenager can and she gave him the one thing that was truly hers to give. Then he walked out of her life without a goodbye or a reason for it.

"...That happens when people leave without a word and don't come back for almost two decades..."

Kennedy is a beautiful, smart, and capable woman. She is very strong and a survivor but part of her is also broken. She has a dream and a goal of becoming a professional dancer.

"...Because if you were mine, I would never ever let you dance like that..."

Now that Reese has gotten a look at Kennedy all grown up, he is attracted and intrigued by her. After learning of her goal to become a professional dancer, he uses this information to make Kennedy a deal too good to pass up. All she has to do is come work on one of his books for the summer and he will get her the audition.

"...But I won't deny that I want you..."

After spending a summer rebuilding a relationship together, Reese and Kennedy once again come face to face with the secrets, the lies, and the dark twists that destroyed their pasts. Can Reese help Kennedy to finally find someone she can trust and repair what has been broken inside of her? Can Kennedy help Reese realize he is not the man or monster he fears he has become? As the secrets unfold, you will become so emotionally turned upside down but also truly blown away by the end.

"...Despite everything you've been through, despite all the reasons you have for feeling the way that you do, you can't go through life thinking you'll never find a man to trust..."

M Leighton, you truly know how to put a reader on the edge of their seat and always wanting more. I give this book a Nerd Alert A+ or a 5 stars rating. I really love this series and can not wait to get my hands on book 3!! I hoping it is Sig's story!!
