Book Blurb:

Imogen

There is no way we can still love and cherish one and other.

When I married Theo Walsh, the rough, bearded townie who worked construction on my family’s summer house, I’d found my happily ever after.

That was before the fighting.

Before the jealousy.

Before the infertility.

We’ll be divorced long before death does us part.

But to secure my place in the family dynasty, there is just one more hoop I have to jump through. And I need him to do it.

Faking the marriage we once thrived in will gut me.

Especially with the secret I’m carrying.

Theo

I would have sacrificed for her until the end of time.

My job.

My home.

My happiness.

I’d given it all up to marry her. That’s how much I loved Imogen Weston, the daughter to one of the world’s richest families.

From the day we met, I’d done nothing but try to live up to the man she expected to be with. And now, I was done.

Sure, I’d complete this one final ask of hers, even if it destroyed me.

But I’ve made her promise the one thing that might save me. She swore that after she got everything she ever wanted, she wouldn’t look back.

I made my wife vow to leave me forever.

Wow, just... I’ve read every single one of Carrie Aarons books. Some have been funny, some haunting, some emotional, some tense and a bit suspenseful... they are always great stories with layered meanings. Down We’ll Come, Baby pretty much follows this same rules, great story with layered meanings, however, it was so raw and heartbreaking. It made me feel anger and, I actually felt like I disliked a character. I’ve never really felt displeasure or a character of hers before but I really didn’t like Imogen. She was so weak-minded and superficial. She seriously did not deserve Theo. 

Are you wondering why I continued reading a book where I didn’t relate or like one of the main characters? I don’t feel like I had to like her when I was so gone for him. I think this book really shows us that life isn’t perfect. People aren’t perfect. We all make mistakes and honestly, not everyone is likable. One of the things I enjoy best about Mrs. Aarons books is that they always feel plausible. So yes, Imogen might come off as incredibly self-centered and self-absorbed... but can’t we all be? 

Down We’ll Come, Baby is just what I have come to expect from Carrie Aarons writing. It’s deep and meaningful. She gives us stories that make us pause and ponder on the situations. This is really one of the deepest, rawest, and must angstful feeling books that Carrie Aarons has written. She really touches on so many things... love, loss, family, expectations, different lifestyles, having children... just every day obstacles. Aarons writing is gripping and flows so smoothly. The way she describes her scenes and set up the story just seemed to flow. As always, I can’t wait to see the next place Carrie Aarons will take me!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

Blog Tour UNDER THE STARS by Tia Louise

Under the Stars, the stunning conclusion of the thrilling, white-hot second-chance Bright Lights Duet from USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise is available NOW!

Under the Stars

All around us was darkness and night…

I’m not a hero. I’m a survivor.

I had one way out, and I took it.

Now all I want is peace,

A place to pick up the pieces and start over.

But she wants justice.

Names on a list, faces in the crowd.

I vowed to help her, but it’s taking us back to the demons.

Until he appeared.

I thought he died in the fight.

I was wrong.

He’s here.

Stronger, more powerful… Sexier.

And dangerous.

The boy I loved is now the one man we have to fear most.

When he tried to save me, he had no power.

Now everything has changed, and he’ll never stop until I’m his.

Excerpt:

~ Lara ~

We stop walking and turn to face the emerald waters. The briny air pushes her hair back and around her shoulders. Tendrils spin around my face, and the inescapable sorrow filters through my chest.

“I can’t do this anymore.”

“Yes, you can.” Her voice is flat, and she bends to put Pierre on the dry sand. “I’m going up. How much longer will you be out here? Celeste is making Quiche Lorraine for breakfast.”

Another sigh. “I’ll be up in a bit. I’m finishing my exercise.”

“Don’t stay out too long or I’ll eat all the food! Come, Pierre!”

I watch her run up the tall staircase, her little dog at her heels, thinking of the reasons she has to run. I remember her as a small girl on the street, in the dark alley behind the theater. She was thin and starving and hunched in the corner waiting to die.

She was so malnourished, I thought she was younger than her actual age, which was twelve. I remember carrying her inside and fighting with Rosa. I remember Rosa boxing my ears and telling me the first time that kid cried, she’d throw us both in the alley with the rats. I remember the terror I felt that night and Molly falling asleep so quietly with her head on my chest.

She needed me. She loved me, and I loved her fiercely in return.

I remember her running around the theater, a sweet and innocent kid never suspecting the hawk was circling above, watching her, closing in to steal her soul and warp her future. I’ll never forgive myself for what happened to her. I’ll never forgive myself for not being there to protect her.

A flash of pain moves through my stomach, and I remember someone saying the same words to me not so long ago…

Walking to the edge of the water, I look out at the surf, at the waves rushing in and out. I think about how nothing bad can happen here. The sins of the past are far, far away from this beautiful place.

Only it’s a lie.

The sins of the past are never far away.

We carry them with us in our hearts wherever we go.

No matter how far we run, we can never outrun ourselves.

Tears are in my eyes, and I blink them away. My emotions are so close to the surface these days. I squat and wrap my arms around my knees, holding my insides together and wishing…

My wishes never come true.

“Lara!” A strong male voice cuts through the breeze.

For a moment I don’t believe it. It’s a wish caught on the wind and carried away out to sea.

“Lara!” It’s louder this time, closer.

Nervous anticipation floods my chest. I stand and look up and over my shoulder. The staircase where Molly descended is empty. The one ahead of it is empty as well.

Was it a dream?

Another shout, and I realize it’s coming from behind me. Turning, I see a tall figure jogging down the steps. He’s alone, and he’s moving fast. I look around, and no one is here. I have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

My heart alternates between beating out of my chest and dying. I’m back on that train, seeing him for the first time out of the blue, completely caught off-guard, alternately panicking and rejoicing… He’s alive!

He’s wearing faded jeans and a plain white t-shirt. His caramel hair is a little longer, but not much. It moves in the breeze as he approaches me.

He’s strong and pure and gorgeous as ever, and the way we touched, our glorious reunion is stronger and hotter in my memory than the sun climbing higher in the sky.

I want to cry. I want to sing. I want to hold him…

But now everything has changed.

It’s so weird to me that there are places like this out there, there are still people living like Molly and Lara did in the previous book. Their worlds are so completely different from mine. It’s just hard to believe life is different for everyone. 

Mark deserves a gold medal for his strength, his quick and easy forgiveness. If I was in his shoes, I’d be out for blood and wanting to show Lara how the vanishing acts with the little one felt. He is way more forgiving than I could ever muster up. I’m angry at Lara for him. Hell, I’m even angrier at Molly. I get her desire for revenge, for retribution, but damn man, her jealousy infuriated me! 

Ha! I just deleted 4 sentences of my anger for Molly. Only Tia Louise’ could make me go on a rant about a fictional character until I realize I might be a little insane! lol So yeah, this book, this duet, pulled emotions from me. Louise’s writing and character depth can pull me into the danger and action so quickly. She leaves me feeling and struggling with emotions that I shouldn’t feel for fictional characters. I don’t want to go into more of the storyline... I'd surely slip out some spoilers and nobody wants that! 

I have to add that Under the Stars is amazingly sweet and tender, it’s completely fast-paced and action-packed. I questioned who to believe, who to trust. Louise takes us through bright lights, big dreams, high hopes, struggling days that all end in a forever kind of love. Can that love be enough with the mountain of lies and secrets between them?

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I will leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

BLOG TOUR: Under the Lights by Tia Louise

“All the sin, heat, and dirty underbelly that comes with it. I'm dying to read Under the Stars!” –Nora Flite, USA Today bestselling author

Under the Lights, book one in the thrilling, white-hot second-chance Bright Lights Duet from USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise is available NOW!

Under The Lights

Heroes don’t last long around here…

Fall in love with the sexiest girl in New Orleans?

Check.

Prepare to die for her?

Double-check.

Larissa is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.

She’s the rising star of the Pussycat Angels, the hottest burlesque show in the French Quarter.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw her.

The curve of her breast outlined by sparkling rhinestones.

Slim hips wrapped in black fishnets.

Long, dark hair…

She’s the Dark Angel who stole my heart.

Her body is intoxicating, our love overwhelming.

Cat eyes and blood red lips.

Sizzling fingers on white-hot skin.

I couldn’t keep my hands off her…

But her fame had a dark side,

A sinister shadow lurking under the lights.

I would do anything to save her…

He would do anything to see me dead.

Excerpt:

“You’re so good.” Her voice is soft, and she traces her finger along the bandage before lifting her blue eyes to meet mine. “Thank you for buying me lunch. For saving me…”

Without warning, she steps forward and wraps her arms around my waist, pressing her face against my chest, and I don’t hold back. She fits perfectly in my arms, and I inhale the sweet scent of her hair just before I press my lips to the top of her head.

Her voice is muffled against my shirt. “It feels so safe here.”

“Lara,” I whisper in her hair. “I want to keep you safe.”

She pulls back, and I loosen my hold. But she doesn’t leave. She puts her hand against my cheek, lifting her chin as she rises higher on her toes. Hell if I make her work for it.

Leaning forward, I capture her lips. They part, and our tongues meet, curling together as I hug her closer to me. She exhales a little noise, and her fingers thread in the sides of my hair. I trace a line with my lips to her ear.

“I want you so much,” I whisper.

She turns, searching for my mouth, and I kiss her. She fists my shirt in her hands, pulling it up and placing her palm against my bare stomach. I groan deeply, and my hands slide under her ass. I lift her against my chest, and her legs go around my waist. Our kisses are wildfire, fast-moving, lips pulling, hungry for something more. Something just within reach.

She moving subtly against my waist, and the blood rushes downward. I’m hard and she’s riding me, stroking my erection with her crotch.

“Lara,” I groan.

Her lips still, and she holds my cheeks, looking into my eyes. “That night on the catwalk… The way you looked at me…”

My brow collapses at the memory. “You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”

“I only want you to see me.”

Her lips are pink and swollen from my kisses. I lean forward and kiss her again, tasting her like she’s water in the desert. She exhales a little noise, and it’s a charge straight to my cock.

I love her lips. I love her mouth. I want more. I want all of her.

“Does your waist hurt?”

She leans forward, running her nose along my jaw. “Nothing hurts. Everything is amazing.”

I am a MAJOR, HUMONGO fan of Tia Louise! After the Dirty Dealers books I have gobbled up every little tasty morsel of writing that Louise gives us. Her writing is so fluid, so descriptive. It’s a real gift for a writer to be able to transport you into their books but that is exactly what Louise does. I’ve now been to a made up country and, finally, to New Orleans! Woot! It ever I was to travel to New Orleans I’d definitely want to end up, at some point, at the French Quarter. The Pussycat Angels, a Burlesque theater or strip club. It’s a total front for sex trafficking. Louise gives us an up close look at what is a major problem all over the country.

So we meet Mark and Larissa, and while this might be considered a new adult book given their early 20’s ages, it doesn’t feel new adult. I found that I fell for Mark instantly! He’s so darn likable! Larissa (or Lara) totally pulled at me! The darkness and suspense in this book totally saturated me! I felt succumbed into this amazing story and, honestly, felt like I was escaping from a dark cave after weeks of entrapment once I finished. I feel utterly desperate to get Under the Stars on my kindle and find out what is happening! GIVE IT TO ME!!! Other than that, if you are still wondering if you should read this or not… I apparently, should quit writing my reviews! This is amazing! What’s even better is that the books are weeks apart so we don’t have to wait months for the conclusion!! Now… seriously… GIVE IT TO ME!!!

 

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I will leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
