<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the past few weeks I’ve been indulging in some very hot hockey romance stories with each one being better than the previous one. When Toni asked if I wanted to read the draft of <i><b>Blue Lines</b></i> – the 4th story in the <b>Assassins Series</b> – my answer was simply, duh!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’m notorious for ditching in the middle of a series especially if I have to wait eons for the next book to come out, but I can safely say that Toni Aleo’s latest novel has me anxious for more. I’ve never fully invested in a group of characters the way I have in the <b>Assassins Series</b>. It doesn’t matter who the story is about, the supporting cast adds enough diversity and intrigue that you are left with a thirst to know more.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Blue Lines</i></b> had me from page one. The prologue was intense and to be honest I’m one that avoids prologues, but this one hooks you and in a few short pages you feel the connection between the characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My intent, when I started reading, was to read a chapter and go to bed. At 3 am and at only 65% I had to put it down reluctantly. With only four hours of sleep, I was back reading. I simply couldn’t get enough of Erik and Piper.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I sit here, I want to tell you everything. I want to spill on the emotions that Toni’s characters are experiencing. I want to make you drool over Erik and the sex appeal that he has and make you wish you were the fun-loving and free-spirited Piper, but I can’t. I will say that <b><i>Blue Lines</i></b> is without a doubt a hat trick (nice hockey pun). I couldn’t read it fast enough, yet wanted to savor every word and when I finished I was excited for Erik and Piper and their journey.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Blue Lines is sexy and riveting with the perfect combination of love and lust. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wish I could offer you a cover for <i><b>Blue Lines</b></i>, but you'll have to wait until the cover reveal on April 15th.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>Two years have passed since Inanna stole Junco away from Lucan. Two years of unimaginable pain. Two years of isolation, mutilation and torture. Two years of fear and loneliness in a morph tank. And that’s not something you just get over, even if you are psycho-assassin, Junco Coot.</b></div>

<b>J. A. Huss likes to write new adult books that make you think and keep you guessing. Her favorite genre to read is space opera, but since practically no one reads those books, she writes new adult science fiction, paranormal romance, contemporary romance, urban fantasy, and books about Junco (who refuses to be saddled with a label). </b></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b>She has an undergraduate degree in horses, (yes, really–Thank you, Colorado State University) and a master’s degree in forensic toxicology from the University of Florida. She used to have a job driving around Colorado doing pretty much nothing but shooting the breeze with farmers, but now she just writes, runs the New Adult Addiction and Clean Teen Reads Book Blogs, and runs an online science classroom for homeschoolers. </b>

Needless to day, the 14th now has a different meaning for our family.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last year my girls went to their dad and asked that they not get presents and instead a donation be made in memory of their uncle. We decided as a family that this would be our yearly tradition, in addition, to participating in the annual <a href="http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/dsp_DonationPage.cfm?walkid=8480&idUser=543643">Great Strides</a> walk as a family.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I launched my $1.00 campaign. If you haven't purchased, know someone who hasn't read, or want to gift <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Forever-Girl-Beaumont-Series-ebook/dp/B00ATNJW3Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1359771521&sr=1-1&keywords=forever+my+girl">Forever My Girl</a></i>, to someone, I'll donate $1.00 from each book sale through February, in memory of my brother. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Forever-My-Girl-Volume-1/dp/0988695103/ref=ntt_at_ep_edition_1_1">paperback</a> is purchased, $5.00.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you purchase for the <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/thebeaumontstore">Beaumont store</a> - 100%</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Many of you asked how you can donate since you already own <i>Forever My Girl</i>. You can make a donation toward <a href="http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/dsp_DonationPage.cfm?walkid=8480&idUser=543643">Team Ryley</a> ~ Our cf family <a href="http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/dsp_DonationPage.cfm?walkid=8480&idUser=543643">Great Strides</a> team. In case you're wondering, Ryley, is a combination of Ryan and Ashley, my sister who also has cf. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you prefer to make donation direct to the<a href="http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/dsp_DonationPage.cfm?walkid=8480&idUser=543643"> foundation</a>, you can fill out this form. If you'd be so kind as to click the Memory/Honor button and include my brother's name, Ryan McLaughlin (at the bottom), my family would be forever grateful. </div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank you for taking the time to read.</div>

I've had an amazing week.<br />
<br />
For that I thank each and everyone of you!<br />
<br />
On Monday I was told that I made the best sellers list for <a href="http://www.digitalbookworld.com/2013/ebook-best-seller-prices-continue-to-decline-fifty-shades-and-hunger-games-make-comeback/">Digital Book World</a> - debuting at #22!<br />

And last night I was informed that I'd debut on the <a href="http://books.usatoday.com/list/index/?r=51-60">USA Today Best Selling</a> list at #52!<br />
<br />
I'm so honored and thankful.<br />

<br />
Nick came to Beaumont well into this teen years. Saw Josie from afar and knew he was in love. The only problem - she was very taken and he didn't stand a chance. He tired, but you all saw how that turned out.<br />
<br />
When Liam left, Nick waited patiently for his chance and when he finally got it, he did everything he could to make Josie love him the way she loves Liam. In his heart, he knew that she still loved Liam. He could tell every time Josie looked at her son.<br />
<br />
A man just knows.<br />
<br />
So when he saw Liam walk in, with Katelyn guiding him, he knew.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>Dear Josie,</em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>You know that moment - the one that happens when you’re driving down the street and the oncoming car shines their brights at you? That is what I felt like when he walked into the carriage room on the day of Mason’s funeral. </em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>My life flashed before my eyes. </em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>Do you know what I saw? Your smile, the way you hold my hand and Noah’s laugh. I saw the way I held you, the way you fell asleep in my arms after a long day of work. I saw Noah and I in the backyard throwing the ball around and then I saw him standing there smirking and shaking his head. I saw that guy from high school and my scene changed. Everything started to fade away. You weren’t holding my hand, but his. Noah wasn’t laughing with me, but with him. I knew then that it was all going to be a distant memory for me. I had lost without even starting the fight.</em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>When he walked in, I knew. I felt in my heart that you were gone and there wasn’t much I was going to be able to do except pray that you’d remember everything he had done, remember everything that you went through when he left. It’s pretty sad that I needed your bad memories to remind you of the hell you went through just so you’d pick me. </em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>When I looked at him, I knew I was the better choice. I had plans for my life. I wasn’t going to depend on baseball to get me anywhere. But you, you only saw him. I had to watch from the sidelines until he made the ultimate mistake.</em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>I remember the first time you brought me over to Mason and Katelyn’s. I was so nervous. We weren’t friends in high school, just teammates, even though I tried. I was surprised when he shook my hand, but it’s what he said to you that stands out now. "He always wanted what Liam had." He laughed. Mason laughed at me and any man would’ve turned around and left, but you were my salvation. If I had you, I was on the top of the world. </em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>I wish I could say Mason was wrong, but he wasn’t. It’s true for the most part. I wanted you from the first time I saw you standing in the hall. I was going to talk to you, but he walked up and wrapped you in his arms. I had never felt so much jealousy before and I didn’t even know you. All I saw was this meathead who had something I wanted. </em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>I knew Mason wasn’t my best friend. I was just a guy he put up with because you were his best friend and I was okay with that because it meant I could be with you more and you’d never have to choose me over them. </em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>When he died, I knew our lives were going to be different, but I didn’t expect this. Not in a million years did I expect to be pouring myself out on a piece of paper and not standing up in front of our families devoting the rest of our lives to each other.</em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>I knew deep down that I didn’t have your heart. I was just too stupid to believe it. I settled for whatever you were willing to give me because I’m in love with you. I should’ve known better then to think you’d get over him since you bore him a son. You looked at the love you shared every day in the eyes of Noah and I knew I couldn’t compete, but wanted to try. I wanted to give you the life you deserve. </em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>I hate having these feelings. I hate that I’m writing you this letter while you’re at work. I hate packing and leaving our home, one that we’ve shared for years, but I can’t stay. I can’t sit back and watch you build a life with him because I know that’s what going to happen. </em></div>
<em>
</em><br />
<div align="JUSTIFY">
<em>I’m going to Africa so you can start a life with Liam. I accept that, even if I want to stay and fight, I’m not willing to lose so I’m bowing out gracefully. I love you, Josie, and much like Liam, it’s been since I first saw you, I was just too late.</em> </div>

When I went into this, I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I can easily say I had a blast.<br />

I loved getting to know each and every reviewer and visiting their sites. It's refreshing to see how each blogger takes to their craft.<br />
<br />
I was very lucky to work with such an amazing group of readers.<br />
<br />
I have to thank Damaris at <a href="http://www.goodchoicereading.com/">Good Choice Reading</a>. What started out as a shot in the dark, me taking a blind chance, has turned into a great friendship.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Sam wakes up in the hospital expecting to find his girlfriend by his bedside. Instead, he finds a bleached-blond diva, claiming to be his fiancée, hovering over him. When he learns that he's just woken up from a coma and has lost the last three years of his life, any semblance of stability he thought he had falls down around him. All he wants – all he needs – is Lil.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After countless visits with her shrink and too many sleepless nights waiting for the one man she loves to walk back through the door, Lil wants nothing more than to separate herself from the life she used to have. But the moment Sam smiles at her, Lil knows it's going to take more than self-restraint to stay away.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Second-Rate Chances is about a young man fighting to regain his memory, and the one thing in his life that felt real. A modern-day Samson and Delilah, it's a look at what it means to love and be loved, and to fight though it seems hopeless.

People have often told me that I live in a fantasy world. Little did they know, I was building an empire of stories in my head to one day share.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm a mother first, a wife second, and a writer third. I'm so thankful to have been given this chance to get my stories out of my head and onto paper.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I'm not writing, I sell plumbing (no I'm not kidding) and read romances that leave my heart a flutter. I know a ridiculous amount of pop culture information and can quote certain movies word for word. Music drives me to write and to also sing off key.
