Review:

Untitled attachment 00052Got to love a few good rumors!

The story is intriguing and will keep you wondering the whole time. It has many smaller stories weaved into one book–almost like vignettes. There are a lot of characters in this book–so make sure you pay close attention. Each character has some sort of rumor that surrounds them and changes their daily lives.

Want a book that will keep you guessing and wondering what’s next? Then I recommend that you give Rumors a try! I hear the author is working on book 2!

Guest Post by JL Mac:

Where is your favorite place to write and why?

I would say that I have some really cool Pinterest worthy tree house or something but I don’t. I write in my office, at my desk that usually has some type of caffeinated beverage adorning the top. Hemingway is almost always at my feet and my Spotify music is playing. I just moved so I made sure to make my new office exactly what I wanted since I spend 14+ hours a day in there. It has this modern loft theme to it and while I wish all my best brainstorms come to me while sitting at my desk they actually bombard me while I’m driving. The entire Wrecked series came to me while I was battling Black Friday traffic. Here is a look at my office space…

Restore Me NEWSynopsis:

Navigating the world alone is all Josephine Geroux has ever known. Life altering tragedy struck early on for her. She endured an admirable struggle through her youth and learned the hard way how to adapt and survive. She managed to arrive at adulthood in one piece in spite of it all.

After such chaos, maintaining a life free of complications is a priority for her.
Everything changed when a man with amber eyes came through her door and claimed her heart. She fell hard in more ways than one. The pull between Jo and Damon seemed like fate bringing things full circle.

With another devastating loss looming, Jo fights to hold on to the very thing that brought her to her knees. She finds herself torn between a promising future and clinging to a devastating past.
But that’s not the most worrisome problem on her hands.

She must convince more than just herself to let the past stay in the past, where it belongs, but on her journey to find closure and resolution, she does the exact opposite. An old wound caused by a heinous act becomes exposed for what it is. The truth is catastrophic and Jo is helpless, watching as the ruins of her fragile world endure more turmoil.

Can something conceived from tragedy and malice end well? Can something so completely poisoned conquer adversity? Jo is left to make a decision; accept the circumstances she finds herself in or fight with unwavering ferocity to restore what has been damaged.
*Restore Me is the second book in the Wrecked series*

Review:

4.–heart-aching but oh so awesome–stars

Restore Me is the continuation of Damon and Josephine and let me you this book doesn’t disappoint. I love this couple and I would even say they are in my top ten book couples. However, with the way Wreck Me nearly destroyed me I was a little nervous about reading this book.

This book will have you shedding a few tears, swooning a bit; it will keep you on your toes and make you say WTF!! a few times! I can’t say enough. Josephine is a fighter–its all she’s ever been and she does calls on those skills in this book. She has suffered so much in her lifetime and she isn’t about to give up now. But will that be enough? The past is a hard thing to fight and is she strong enough?

Book one ends on a bit of a cliffhanger…and I anxiously read the first few chapter to find out those important answers to my questions. I love to hate cliffs! I really do but I am glad that I read these two back to back. Read my review of Wreck Me here. 

Now to the jaw-dropping moments! There are a few and I swear you won’t see it coming. I know I didn’t and that is all I am saying on that.

JL Mac you know how to torture a girl! I can’t wait for book three!! Go read but remember you MUST read book one first. Enjoy!
