Blurb

When attorney Jami Dillon strides into the conference room to meet her new client, she's stopped in her tracks by an all-too familiar figure. Jackson Paige. He's her tall, tattooed, and sexy as hell hook up from law school-who also broke her heart. 

Hell's bells.
Jackson Paige was, in fact, Jax Pain, the drummer of Manix Curse.
That thing in Jami's chest tightened, making it hard to breathe.

Jackson Paige, aka Jax Pain, has worked hard to put that unfor-frickin-gettable fling behind him and the nasty secret that made him leave her. Truth is, life as the playboy drummer of Portland's hottest metal band hasn't helped him to forget the fiery, sexy woman who stole his heart. Lucky for him, Jami was just hired as his band's new attorney. But when he sees the look on her face when she realizes who her new client is, Jax wonders if maybe being this close to her again isn't such a great idea. The explosive chemistry is there, but so are the dark secrets...

I went into Beautiful Mess knowing that it was the second book in a series without having read the first.  I wanted to read this one because I love second chance romances and I have a weakness for books with musicians.  I did struggle in the beginning to connect with the book but overall enjoyed it.

I believed in the chemistry between these two characters-both currently and their previous fling.   It took me a bit to get there but once I did, I was all for them. Jami definitely had her share of issues to overcome, and at times they may have appeared to be repetitive but I didn't hate that.  Not everyone learns things the first go around right? It's human nature to stumble back over the same things a few times before overcoming them so I didn't mind that about her at all.   

The secondary characters in the book are fun without being overwhelming, and definitely intrigue me enough to make me want to try this author's other work. The path for this second chance romance wasn't smooth sailing, but I didn't mind the work put into them.  I will say that the book started slow and had some pacing issues, but overall I did enjoy it.

CHANGE ME BY MELISSA TOWNSEND-BOOK BLITZ

 

Author: Melissa Townsend
Title: Change Me
Series: Protector #2
Release Date: Feb 7, 2017
Add to TBR

Macie Smith was eager to leave her hometown of Puyallup, Washington, after graduating high school. She knew there was no way around being a Protector like her brother, and she was okay with that. Macie knew in her heart that her purpose was to protect others; however, she refused to follow in her brother’s footsteps forever. She moved to Florida in hopes of finding herself. In the process, she found Jasper White.

Jasper was the polar opposite of the Protectors. Rather than feeling the pain of others like Macie and her brother, he was usually the one to cause it: Jasper was a Raider. He'd spent the last three years being a real-life bad boy. When he first laid eyes on Macie, he instantly knew he wanted her…until he found out she was a Protector. He had already had a few run ins with other Protectors, and to say they were enemies would be putting it lightly. He knew he didn't stand a chance with Macie, but he couldn't stay away. He would have to change his Raider ways in order to make her his.

 

The smile he had been wearing had disappeared and the indifferent look in his eyes had been replaced with… was that desire? I felt my stomach flop when he took a step toward me. I inhaled a deep breath when he took another step. His face was inches from mine and I wanted to be unaffected. Or at least make him think I was unaffected by him. He reached out and ran his fingers down the length of my arm. Chill bumps followed behind his touch and I cursed my body for being such a trader. He slowly started to lean closer to me, his head was lowering and his gaze was fixed on my lips. I licked them involuntarily and slowly raised onto my tip toes. His lips touched mine and my entire body started to tingle.

From a rural community in southern Oklahoma, Melissa Townsend is a married dental assistant with one child; and on the surface, the picture of today’s ordinary working wife and mother from Smalltown, U.S.A.

As a busy mom, she initially found her escape in reading. It is just in the past few years that she’s found her passion and enjoyment of telling her own stories. Having never travelled or experienced much beyond the realm of country-living, Melissa finds herself taking journeys through an array of genres and different writing styles. Don’t let her quiet, small town, ordinary demeanor mislead you. Sit with her for very long and you will quickly discover her wit, dry sense of humor, and unique perception of the world around her. It’s these characteristics spieled out into her stories that define her writing style and will keep you wanting more.

 

EVERY LITTLE THING BY SAMANTHA YOUNG-BOOK TOUR

Hartwell, Delaware—the perfect place to get away from it all, and find what you never knew you needed…

Bailey Hartwell has many reasons to feel content—her successful business, a close circle of friends, and her steady boyfriend…even if their romance feels staid after ten years without a serious commitment. The only challenge in her life comes in the form of sexy businessman Vaughn Tremaine. She thinks the ex-New Yorker acts superior and that he considers her a small-town nobody. But when Bailey’s blindsided by a betrayal, she’s shocked to discover Vaughn is actually a decent guy.

Vaughn admires Bailey’s free spirit, independence, and loyalty. As his passion for her has grown, his antagonism toward her has only worsened. Every little thing Bailey does seduces him. But when Vaughn’s painful emotional past makes him walk away in fear he will hurt her, it opens an old wound in Bailey, and she uncharacteristically retreats.

Once Vaughn begins to realize he’s made the biggest mistake of his life, he has no choice but to fight like he’s never fought before to convince Bailey that the love they’ve found together only comes around once in a lifetime.

This is my first book by Samantha Young.

I KNOW.

I am not actually sure how this has even managed to be the case, and I now know what I was missing. The writing is strong, the characters are realistic and I believed their interactions and was willing to believe what happened to them could happen.

I loved Bailey. Vaughn, however, was not my favorite. And, I am not sure why. There were times when I loved him, and times when he rubbed me the wrong way, although this was more toward the beginning. Once they give in to their attraction, I definitely can say I was a lot more of a fan of his. And, in an odd way, I liked this about the book. I am ok with not 100% loving a character the entire time, so in this, it worked for me.

Without spoilers, I really liked the end of this one. I know, it is a romance, there is a happily ever after, we all know that. And there are some that are better than others. There was something about the end of this one that left me feeling that this was one of the good ones. Hard to explain without spoilers.

While this is the 2nd book in the series, it is a standalone and you definitely can enjoy it without reading the first...I know this is what happened for me.

Read this one, you will be glad you did.

I will leave this with saying I enjoyed the book overall and I definitely recommend it.
