New Release Across the Horizon by Aly Martinez

Posted on December 6, 2018 by Book Lovers Obsession~ Shera Layn

“Sometimes love happens when you least expect it.” That was what my husband’s mistress told me the day I found out about their affair.

I didn’t believe it until five minutes later when mouth-watering celebrity chef Tanner Reese walked up, tossed his arm around my shoulders, and told my cheating husband to take a hike.

Tanner and I couldn’t have been more different. He spent his weekends at clubs, rubbing elbows with fellow A-listers. I spent mine in yoga pants with cheese boards and a glass of wine—or six.

Our relationship shouldn’t have worked, but it did. That is until Tanner proved to me that even though love happens when you least expect it…

So does heartbreak.

Blog Tour / Review The Fall Up by Aly Martinez

Posted on October 28, 2015 by Book Lovers Obsession~ Shera Layn

Maybe there’s only one direction to go when two people fall

in love at rock bottom—up.

I wanted to jump.

He made me fall.

As a celebrity, I lived in the public eye, but somewhere along the way, I’d lost myself in the spotlight.

Until he found me.

Sam Rivers was a gorgeous, tattooed stranger who saved my life with nothing more than a simple conversation.

But we were both standing on that bridge for a reason the night we met. The secrets of our pasts brought us together—and then tore us apart.

Could we find a reason to hold on as life constantly pulled us down?

Or maybe there’s only one direction to go when two people fall in love at rock bottom—up.

Blog Tour / Review / Giveaway Fighting Shadows by Aly Martinez

Posted on July 7, 2015 by Book Lovers Obsession~ Shera Layn

Add Fighting Shadows to your TBR list on Goodreads!

I come from a family of fighters. I always thought I’d follow in their shadows, becoming unstoppable in the ring. That changed the day I saved the life of a woman I loved, but could never have.

My brother hailed me as a hero, and my reward was a wheelchair.

Paralyzed, my life became an inescapable nightmare.

Until I met her.

Ash Mabie had a heart-stopping smile and a laugh that numbed the rage and resentment brewing inside of me. She showed me that even the darkest night still had stars, and it didn’t matter one bit that you had to lie in the weeds to see them.

I was a jaded asshole who fell for a girl with a knack for running away. I couldn’t even walk but I would have spent a lifetime chasing her.

Now, I’m on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.

Fighting the shadows of our past.

Fighting to reclaim my future.

Fighting for her.

Flint’s highly anticipated emotional story is FINALLY here!

NOW AVAILABLE

Amazon US / Amazon UK / B&N / Kobo / iTunes

**Each book in the series can be read as a standalone**

Haven’t read this series yet? Meet Flint Quarry, Till & Eliza in Fighting Silence

Amazon US / Amazon UK / B&N / Kobo / iBooks

To say I’ve been chomping my nails waiting for Flint’s story is a serious understatement. The wait was so worth it!! OMG! I loved Till Page in Fighting Silence. I FLOVE Flint’s story. I don’t even know how I could love Flint’s story more, but I do. Or maybe my heart is just torn in two for these boys. Whatever it is, they are stories I will never forget.

At the end of Till’s story, you just knew that Flint’s story was going to be an emotional rollercoaster. I knew my heart would break. I knew my heart would soar and I knew that I would fall in love with Flint. Fighting Shadows takes off right where Fighting Silence ends. They can be read as standalones, but please pick up Fighting Shadows I guarantee you will love Till Page’s story which will introduce you to Flint also.

I was seriously blown away with the first. Now, I do believe I just got knocked flat on my @$$! Even if you didn’t read the first book (which again I am telling you that you MUST or you are missing out) you will fall right into this book with no problems (except me being mad you didn’t read the first book, lol)

This is all about Flint Page ( Till’s younger brother) and Ash Mabie. You will live Flint’s journey of trying to overcome what happened in Fighting Silence and acceptance of what is now his life. He has always felt more love for Eliza (Till’s wife) than he should. I understand why he feels what he does; it’s easily confused when you have a mother figure/ friend/ beautiful woman around you for the first time in your life. It’s not until he meets Ash that finally begins to live and recognizes his true feelings. I love Ash’s character; despite how she lived she was the complete opposite of what you would expect her to be.

And folks, that’s all you’re going to get from me, because I feel like I will start spewing spoilers and no one likes that!

I really am a new Aly Martinez super fan. Sure, I’ve read some of her other books and I’ve enjoyed each that I’ve read but this Page boys, I just can’t even put into words how much I love them. I love each character in these books, they all blend so well together creating the perfect cocktail! Her stories flow and will leave you reading straight into the night because you can’t put them down. Quarry’s book is next and I just know without a doubt his story will be equally heartbreaking. The Page brothers haven’t had an easy life and your heart surely won’t have an easy ride when reading these books!

Kudos Aly! Another 5…errr 6? Can I give a 6 star read? SURE I CAN! This is a must read series everyone. Pick them BOTH up now.

Blog Tour and Review Fighting Silence by Aly Martinez

Posted on February 23, 2015 by Book Lovers Obsession~ Shera Layn

RELEASE DATE: February 23rd, 2015

Sound is an abstract concept for most people. We spend our lives blocking out the static in order to focus on what we believe is important. But what if, when the clarity fades into silence, it’s the obscure background noise that you would give anything to hold on to?

I’ve always been a fighter. With parents who barely managed to stay out of jail and two little brothers who narrowly avoided foster care, I became skilled at dodging the punches life threw at me. Growing up, I didn’t have anything I could call my own, but from the moment I met Eliza Reynolds, she was always mine. I became utterly addicted to her and the escape from reality we provided each other. Throughout the years, she had boyfriends and I had girlfriends, but there wasn’t a single night that I didn’t hear her voice.

You see, meeting the love of my life at age thirteen was never part of my plan. However, neither was gradually going deaf at the age of twenty-one.

They both happened anyway.

Now, I’m on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.

Fighting for my career.

Fighting the impending silence.

Fighting for her.

Every night, just before falling asleep, she sighs as a final conscious breath leaves her.

I think that’s the sound I’ll miss the most.

Release Day Blitz and Review Broken Course by Aly Martinez

Posted on November 10, 2014 by Book Lovers Obsession~ Shera Layn

Title: Broken Course (Wrecked and Ruined, #3)

Author: Aly Martinez

Release Date: November 10, 2014

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Seven years ago, my life changed forever. One accident and the person I saw in the mirror no longer resembled the woman I used to be. I was lost and confused inside my own body. I felt alone and disconnected from the world, carrying the incredible weight of guilt and loss that wasn’t even mine to harbor.

Then fate led me to Leo James. He taught me that crazy could be perfectly normal and it shouldn’t hurt to breathe. Don’t get me wrong. Leo isn’t perfect. He has his own cross to bear, and the truth is, that might be why I fell for him in the first place. But despite everything he does for me, learning to forgive myself is infinitely harder than overlooking the flaws of another.

Now, the secrets and lies of our past have begun to dictate our future—threatening to ruin us before we get the chance to try. Perhaps we were cursed from the start. Or maybe, just maybe, the remnants of our fractured lives will fit together to form one whole, where love isn’t questioned and being happy is…well, easy.

Can a second broken soul be enough to fill the voids of my own? Or will such scarred pasts prove too much for our love alone to overcome?

**Each book in this series can be read as a stand alone.**

Broken Course (Wrecked and Ruined, #3)

Amazon US | Amazon UK | B&N

Broken Course is Sarah Erickson’s story. She happened to run into Leo James at the end of Among the Echoes and this story picks up right where that left off…. This can be read as a standalone but I suggest you read the first two Changing Course and Stolen Course first that way you go in knowing the whole story of what happened before.

Sarah hasn’t dated in 7 years. Her past is sketchy and tragic. The reason she hasn’t dated in 7 years is because of how her last relationship ended. She agrees to go on a date with the ever so sexy Leo and their connection is unfriggindeniable. We see glimpses of the past with Sarah and Brett, and it was painful. The torment she was going through, the pain, those little flashbacks make you understand why she is the way she is now.

“I don’t need you to remind me that none of us are perfect”

Leo isn’t perfect either. His sexy Spanish speaking goes along with his incredibly sexy self. Swoonworthy for sure. But, he hides a secret, a secret that breaks him and it could break the relationship he is trying to build with Sarah. He is such an Alpha Male, very persistent and so incredibly caring about other people.

Two broken souls trying to “fix” eachother. But can two wrongs make such a delicious right? When pasts are revealed can they stay together?

“We have a long road ahead of us because of our pasts. We both still struggle on a daily basis, and I can’t swear to you that will ever stop. But it doesn’t feel impossible when I’m with you. You make me smile and laugh. You make things right even when the world feels completely wrong.”

Now we pause….and SWOOON!!! Do they have enough trust in each other to make it through what is coming their way?

The sex in this book off the charts….. Like HAWWWWWWT, and when he starts speaking Spanish, O M GEEE I just melted to the floor every single time. The storyline was fantastic, there were twists and turns with a perfect mix of drama, mystery and tons of emotions. I couldn’t have predicted most of the twists if I tried. They were revealed at the right time leaving your jaw hanging open and heart pounding in your chest. I laughed, I cried and I totally friggin melted at some points thinking “why can’t I be Sarah right now” even though I didn’t like her previously I now love her and I think it’s because of Leo James that I found a likeable part of Sarah. I give this book 5 of 5 Stars!

Blurb

I fell in love with Manda Baker eight years ago, and I loved her to the core of her soul. We were supposed to have that elusive happily ever after and spend a lifetime together. But that was all before she was STOLEN from me.

Her best friend, Sarah Erickson, killed her. It wasn’t intentional. It was far worse. Everyone claims it was just an accident, but I can see through the lies. Even if it’s with my dying breath, I will make her pay for what she did.

Fate hates me. It robbed me of my first love and left me to navigate through this world emotionless and numb. Then, one day, spiteful fate gave me a woman to fill my shattered soul and make me feel again. It gave me Emma Jane Erickson. Now I spend my days searching for the answers that will ruin Sarah and my nights falling in love with her sister—the one person who is bound and determined to save her.

But what happens when everything you know to be true explodes around you? Who will be left to pick up the pieces, and who will need to be saved from the wreckage?

Shera’s Review 4.5 Stars!

This book can be read as a standalone; however I suggest starting with Changing Course, so you experience the full emotions of what has transpired to get to this point.

Caleb, fell in love eight years ago with Manda who was tragically killed in a car crash in Changing Course. Five years later Caleb can’t let go of Manda and has yet to move on. He blames Sarah and until she pays, he won’t rest. Caleb is broken.

“I loved her harder than any person should be allowed. If I’m being honest with myself, I still love her like that. It’s been almost five years and Manda Baker still owns my heart.”

He is incredibly sexy, sarcastic, strong headed 100% Alpha Male. Honestly he is the perfect blend of rough and polished. We get to see deep inside his dark, grieving, tortured soul and really learn who Caleb is and what makes him tick. Can he move on from the events in the past and find happiness, even though it may be with the one person he hates?

Emma Erikson is ironically person that can provide comfort to Caleb is the sister of the person that he holds responsible for Manda’s death. She is hilarious, witty, fun and super sexy. She will do anything to protect Sarah and knows that Manda was Caleb’s heart he will always love her. But she can’t help the pull she has to him and becomes completely infatuated with Caleb. He is everything she could possibly ever want, the question is, it he anything she can ever have?

“I don’t know the what, when, where or why about my life, but… I suddenly know the who.”

The characters in this story have been through a lot all because of one horrific night. The story is deep, will rip at your heart and you will every single emotion of the characters. You take a ride on a fantastic rollercoaster, so many twists and turns. Love and Fate are REAL. This book will make you realize that you will find the one you love, regardless of what has happened to get there. This story was beautiful, captivating and fantastically written!
