Title: Reverb
Series: Trojan #2
Author: S.M. West
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 12, 2020


BLURB

Reverb - noun: an echo like force or effect. 
My life is a cliché. 
Rags to riches. A bad boy rock star. Everyone loves me. 
On the outside, it looks like I have it all but nothing is further from the truth. 
I died at eighteen. Lost the only thing I ever wanted. 
Her. 
At rock bottom, music becomes my life support and sometimes, it isn’t enough. 
Then, out of nowhere, she shows up. A crash cart to my near-still heart. 
Reunited, we struggle with the realization that the past is littered with lies and betrayal. 
And worst of all, what tore us apart is determined to keep it that way. 
Even as my heart beats strong and steady with the hope of our future, is it too late for us? 
I’m filthier than ever and she’s no longer mine, but I’ll fight for her anyway. 
We belong together, and I’ll prove them wrong.

EXCERPT

We’re at that point, the one just before explosion, on the brink of insanity, and while I should walk away because there’s so much still to say, so much she doesn’t know that could change everything, I simply can’t. I can no longer resist. 
Eva flattens her hands on my chest and leans in, tracing the tip of her tongue over my bottom lip. I quake, feeling it to my soul. 
“Kiss me like time doesn’t exist.” 
Her demand sends my head spinning and goosebumps puckering along my flesh. All I can think about is tasting her. I grasp her waist, and her hands slip behind my head, fingers threading into my hair. 
Inching closer, I let her invade my doubts, eradicate my shame as her breath coasts over my mouth. “Give me your lips.” 
My mouth meets hers. So, so soft and warm. Her taste and smell are heavenly, and my eyes flutter closed. Eliminating the final, infinitesimal distance between us, I draw her in. My tongue slides into her mouth again, running along hers, and I can’t get enough. 
I suck on her tongue as she presses harder against my body, and my hands round to her ass, hoisting her into my arms. Her toned, slender legs wrap around me. 
Heaven. 
Moving to the bed, I bend my knees and sit, and she settles into my lap, kissing me endlessly. So fucking good. Her fingernails dig into my scalp, and I groan against her mouth. 
My heart pounds in my chest and I gaze down at Eva, the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen. 
“Do you remember us? Sneaking off to grab moments alone whenever we could?” I’m unable to contain my sexy grin at the memories. “Always wanting to get lost in each other. How fucking perfect we fit together? Me inside you.” 
She nods shyly, big warm brown eyes filled with trust and love. Even unworthy of her adoration, I feel like a fucking king.

Excerpt



I watched Kira ride off, wondering what the hell had just happened. Sure, she probably guessed that I wrote that song about her. But she’d only heard the first few bars before sprinting away like I was the devil himself.

Spinning around, I located the lodge’s bike shed. I rolled a bike out and hopped on. The seat was too low for me, so I had to stand up on the pedals. 

But no matter. I rode off after Kira, my first time on a real bike in years. 

The road curved around to the left, and Kira’s house soon came into view. She was sitting on the front steps. She didn’t look all that surprised to see me biking toward her, but the look of pain on her face was so vivid that I could feel it in my gut. Something was wrong, and I still didn’t know what.

“Feel any better?”

She shook her head, and I thought I saw fear in her eyes.

“Kira,” I said softly. “I know you want me to leave you alone right now, but I can’t—our conversation isn’t over. In twenty-four hours I’ll be back on that bus. Honestly, you’re scaring me. When I last saw you, things seemed like they were on the upswing for you. When I said I think about you all the time, I didn’t mean to be a creeper. I meant that I was picturing a happy ever after for you.”

“Mama!” a little voice called from beyond the screen door.

At the sound of it, Kira’s whole body went rigid. And then tears spilled down her cheeks.

I heard little footsteps pounding onto the screened porch. And then a small set of hands became visible against the door just behind Kira. Quick as a flash, Kira leapt to her feet and spun around, darting through the door. It closed with a bang behind her.

“Whoa,” a man’s voice said. “Deep breaths, Kiki. What did he say?”

The hair stood up on my neck. I dropped the bicycle and covered the distance to the stoop in three paces. Leaping up, I opened the screen door. A little girl stood there, with fair, curly hair and blue-green eyes. I was no good with kids’ ages. She wasn’t an infant, but she wasn’t school-aged either. There was a babyish fullness to her face. She was three? Four? Five? I looked up at Kira.

“I’m so sorry,” she squeaked.

That’s when I finally understood. And I almost couldn’t draw breath to speak again. “I… She… What the fuck, Kira?” 

“That’s a very bad word,” the little girl said, accusation in her voice.

“Sorry,” I said automatically. I raised my eyes to Kira’s. “You… She…” 

I couldn’t think. There was pressure in my ears, and my pulse was ragged. Dizzy, I thought, absently, putting one hand on the door jamb for support.

“Breathe, man,” the guy behind Kira said. He wore a bright pink polo shirt and an expression of concern. “Sit down. Seriously, before you crash.”

I bent over and grabbed my knees. “Oh my God.” The only thing I could hear was my own ragged breathing and Kira’s choked sobs.

“Mama!” a little voice said, full of alarm. “Don’t cry!”

The scary moment stretched on, until I heard yet another bicycle approaching outside. A moment later, another male voice called out, “Knock-knock!”

The pink-polo-shirt guy answered him, his voice full of false cheer. “Hi, Luke!” Under his breath he added, “Wow. It’s raining men.” Then he scooped the little girl up in his arms, stepped around me, and walked out the screen door. It closed behind him with a bang.

I just stood there, staring at my shoes, trying to catch my breath. Kira’s shoes moved into my visual field, but I wasn’t ready to talk to her yet. Not until my head could clear. Which would probably be sometime next week. 

We stood here, awkward and quiet for a couple of long minutes. There was some low-key chatter outside, and then I heard the sound of the bicycle departing. 

The guy in the polo shirt came back inside, alone. 

“You’re her brother.” I coughed, trying to reconstruct the world into a rational place.

“Yup,” the guy said. “Uncle Adam.”

“Where is Vivi?” Kira asked, her voice raw.

“Luke is taking her for a little bike ride. There may be ice cream involved.”

“Really, Adam?” Kira moved quickly to peer through the screen. “But that’s awkward.”

“Oh, honey. We have first class tickets on the HMS Awkward today. And the ship has sailed. Luke even had a pink helmet for her, Kiki. Just go with it, okay? I told him you were having a moment.”

I straightened up. “She’s having a moment,” I spat out. “Is that what this is?” My pulse was still pounding in my ears, but now from anger instead of shock.

Kira was as pale as a sheet. “I was going to tell you today.” She pulled a photo out of her pocket. “Here. I was trying to find a way.”

I snatched the picture from her hand. “She’s, what, four?” The photo shook as I tried to look at it. The little girl smiled up at the camera, a stuffed animal in her hands. It was purple. Somehow this detail made it all the more real. The little girl in the photo was clutching the purple cat I’d won at the fair all those years ago.

Rock Star, Interrupted by S.M. Shade


ROCK STAR, INTERRUPTED by #SMShade

I found my stillness, my space between breaths, when I was a kid. The answer is simple. If it hurts, I pour music on it.

After years of hard work, it's finally happening. Tragic has a number one album and we've gone from being discussed as one hit wonders to hearing words like meteoric mentioned alongside our name.

With two tours planned and another album on its way, we have a lot to look forward to. Playing in a different city every night, the shimmer and roar of the crowd, after parties and endless women.

My lifelong dream is in the palm of my hand until one phone call leaves everything hanging in the balance.

All I wanted was a second chance.

Chase was still my every fantasy ten years after we broke up. He stepped back into my life the same night Gavin, once my closest friend, confessed his deep-rooted feelings and kissed me like I’d never been kissed.

Now I’m torn between the pro football player and the rock star, the one I always wanted and the one I was too blind to notice, my high school sweetheart and my best friend.

Is it possible to be in love with two different men at the same time? 
 
The answer is yes, and I don’t know how to choose one without hurting the other... and myself. I need to figure out which man belongs in my future and which is better left in the past.

Will the football player grab the top spot in my heart, or will the rock star make his own interception?

Ice Angels (Wintervale Promises Book 4) by Melodie March Review

Ice Angels: A Sweet Small-Town Romance (Wintervale Promises Book 4)Ice Angels: A Sweet Small-Town Romance by Melodie March
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Melodie March melts the ice with ICE ANGELS. Retired prima ballerina Claudia (Clyde) Monroe heads home to Wintervale, Vermont to produce a television show about her life. While there she bumps into her childhood best friend, retired hockey player, Reid Burnett. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult audiences.

ICE ANGELS is an entertaining second chance romance of childhood friends Claudia and Reid. They both had crushes on each other, but it never went anywhere. Clyde headed to Manhattan to study at the American Dance Conservatory. Reid was off playing professional hockey. I like that they could relate to having career ending injuries, and that it brought them back together. They are both now on their second careers. I think it is cool that Reid bought The Skate Escape. The drama that Claudia went through with the production of her show, and her actors was entertaining.

When I got this book, I did not realize that it was the fourth in the series. I did not have any problems following the story. I also, did not feel like I missed anything. I recommend this story to people that enjoy second chance sports romances. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
