BLURB:
Loving Josie, A Torey Hope Novel
This is a stand-alone novel and does not need to be read in order.
Josie Decker has spent her whole life as an unloved and unwanted bother. Like a wild horse captured and bridled, Josie’s spirit is broken. She devises a plan to start her life anew; silently biding her time, she waits for the perfect moment. When that moment arises, Josie takes the opportunity and runs freely into an uncertain future in Torey Hope.
Kyle Martin is a tattooed, pierced, bad boy with a heart of gold. Marching to the beat of his own drummer, Kyle meets his perfect match early on in life. Devastating circumstances beyond his control plunge Kyle into dark despair and suffocating blackness. In an effort to escape the blackness, Kyle accepts an offer from an old friend and moves to Torey Hope.
Josie and Kyle hit it off as close friends and kindred spirits right away. Both are harboring secrets and sadness, but the connection between them is bringing light back to their smiles, their hearts, their lives. Kyle and Josie cling to each other as they battle guilt and crushed spirits. Through it all, with a lot of help from an unexpected accomplice, Kyle and Josie come to view each other in a new light.
When the past catches up to them and causes their lives to come crashing down, will Kyle and Josie get the chance to see where their future is headed? Or will they be forced to admit they waited too long to embrace what was right in front of them the whole time?
A heart-wrenching and heart-warming love story of cherishing the past while embracing the future.
For ages 18+ due to adult language and situations.

Don’t Fear the Fear – Embrace it.
Posted on June 25, 2015 by Lisa Renee Jones
by Lisa Renee Jones

Forsaken- Hi every­one and thank you so much to Writ­er­space for hav­ing me on their blog today! As I get ready to release the third book in my Secret Life of Amy Bensen series, For­saken, it has me revis­it­ing how this series began. I remem­ber very clearly, that I was hes­i­tant about this series. My read­ers adored Sara in my Inside Out series (now in devel­op­ment for TV), and Amy (the lead in The Secret Life of Amy Bensen), was her antithe­sis. Don’t get me wrong, every time I pub­lish a book the fear sinks into my gut. I’ve learned that the fear is a good thing though. Now, I fear the day that sink­ing feel­ing goes away, because that will be the day I’m not push­ing myself to be the very best author I can be.

Back to Amy though – when I first released Escap­ing Real­ity (book 1), it was self-published and very dif­fer­ent from all of my other cur­rent works. Sure, it still has your res­i­dent alpha male that I love to write. Which in this case, came decked out in a suit, goa­tee, tat­too, and goes by the name Liam Stone, but, Amy was worlds away from my other hero­ines. She was younger, more naïve, yet I tried, and hope­fully suc­ceeded, to build in this innate strength to her char­ac­ter. I truly pushed myself out of my com­fort zone with these char­ac­ters, and I even ended up tak­ing the series to an all-out dif­fer­ent place than I orig­i­nally intended. All of which, you’ll see in the con­clud­ing vol­umes, For­saken (8/18) and Unbro­ken (9/7).

Escaping RealityThank­fully, I have the best read­ers in the world. Much as I embraced a new chal­lenge in writ­ing this series, they all embraced it as well, and I received so many heart­felt notes about their love for the first two books in the series. So, time passed and I ended up sell­ing the series to Gallery Books, which accounted for a long spell between the release of the first two and last two books. Given the time lapse the fear has returned ten-fold. It’s a whole new set of fears this time though. Will the read­ers of the series have moved on? Do they know two more books are com­ing? It’s such a com­pet­i­tive mar­ket right now, how do I reach my read­ers? And the list goes on and on. You know what though? With the fear comes a thrill. A thrill that is quite inde­scrib­able, and one that can thrive off of one reader’s kind words about one of my books. I would not be able to do what I do with­out all of my read­ers. So as much as I drive my hus­band nutty with my What Ifs around release day, he’s learned to deal with it because it’s part of my process.

Infinite PossibilitiesTo every author out there, the fear is nat­ural and should not be a deter­rent. To every reader who’s picked up one of my books, thank you. Fear, of all mag­ni­tudes, is some­thing we all deal with. It’s how you react and take con­trol in the midst of it that really counts. I get ques­tions all the time about how to write a book and the process of it. My first piece of advice is always: just write. Cliché as it sounds, if you over­think it, that’s when the fear can take over. Trust me, the first books that I wrote are locked away and will never see the light of day, or an edit­ing pen. Writ­ing is a per­sonal process, in most cases. The author is the only one in tune with the char­ac­ters. You’re the sole con­duit to the world you’ve cre­ated. So, you have all the control.

I hope you’ll check out my Secret Life of Amy Bensen series. Books 1 and 2 are already avail­able (Escap­ing Real­ity and Infi­nite Pos­si­bil­i­ties), and books 3 and 4 (For­saken and Unbro­ken) will be com­ing out later this year!

My review of Marcus: I was given the ARC for this book. This is a prequel to The Queens Prophecy and I was impressed how much there is about the life of Marcus. I did truly like that Barb wrote about Eliza, Marcus’ maker. I truly enjoyed their story together. If anyone ever read any of my other reviews I do not give away any spoilers but I don’t think there really are any. It is just the history of Marcus.
I wish I could of read this book first but it is still nice to hear the story about a main character in the story.
It was a good read.

Synopsis: Sidney Sinclair’s life has gone from dreamlike escapades to the reality of two men who both want her…

Her unfaithful rock star boyfriend, Ray Ryker, may have some competition in a handsome young stranger, Adrian McAllister, who she first only imagined in her dreams.

The thing is, he’s no longer a fantasy. He’s now not only involved in her thoughts but her everyday life as well.

Sidney finds herself in a romantic overload as she tries to choose between the boy she’s known since high school, or the exotic presence with shining green eyes who takes her breath away. Until, she is attacked in her backyard, and someone’s murdered…

While trying to uncover the identity of the mysterious killer she can’t help but wonder if the handsome stranger may have had something to do with it.

It doesn’t take long for Sidney to realize she doesn’t trust either of the men in her life, not Ray, her adulterous boyfriend, or Adrian, the green-eyed charmer.

Now she finds herself having to weave her way through the web of lies confronting her at every turn.

Or she could be the next to die…

MY REVIEW:  This was given to me as an ARC for my honest review!
This book left me wanting more. I read the first book Between Dreams and now this book was even more exciting as the first. I am so looking forward for the next one.
Between Loves had me asking questions about Adrian. I want to know who he really is. I do not give out spoilers in any of my reviews (Sorry). I want to know what’s going to happen? Now! It has me in such suspense I feel like screaming. It so awesome. I would of been finished with Between Loves earlier but I was out for almost 3 days.
Cynthia Austin is becoming one of my newest found author. I love her writing. It flows wonderfully. There wasn’t a 3 month span or confusion from the first book to the next. It was a smooth read from book one and two. There was no confusion or trying to remember how the last book ended. It was perfect!!
Loved it and can’t wait for the third book!!
Thank you Cynthia for another great book!!!
