**I really enjoyed how she used so many emotions through out the book. I giggled and cried. I fell in love with all the characters. This story is about family, love, and finding your home.

**This first novel by Maryann Jordan is so refreshing. It combines a passionate love story with a little mystery mixed in! Both of these combined makes for a story you cannot put down!

**Absolutely LOVED this book! I had the honor to beta read Emma's Home, and I was blown away! This is a very down to earth and realistic story that will touch your heart. Not only is it steamy sexy but the challenges that Emma faces would be completely overwhelming to others. If you are looking for a book that has a very strong female lead, this is the book!!

**I also love all the surrounding characters in Jake and Emma's lives. They are so supportive and funny. They bring so much life into the book as well. I have to say that I was surprised by the plot twist. I was not expecting anything like that to come into play in this book. However, I LOVED it. It broke this book away from all the other typical romances that are out there.

**Maryann has done an amazing job with Emma's home. Not only did she give us our love story but she gave us drama suspense and a little mystery. I loved the story from the first chapter. This story makes u smile laugh and hurt with the characters you are pulled into the story and crave to see what happens next. It's truly a must read.

**I truly LOVED this book. The story of Emma and Jake was super sexy and heart warming. Loved Jake's protectiveness. Loved Emma's independence. And the other characters were awesome as well and can't wait to catch up on them. Ladies, if you wear panties, leave 'em off, Jake will just melt them right off!!

**Blog Tour** Always by Kindle Alexander

Born to a prestigious political family, Avery Adams plays as hard as he works. The gorgeous, charismatic attorney is used to getting what he wants, even the frequent one-night stands that earn him his well-deserved playboy reputation. When some of the most prominent men in politics suggest he run for senate, Avery decides the time has come to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. With a strategy in place and the campaign wheels rolling, Avery is ready to jump on the legislative fast track, full steam ahead. But no amount of planning prepares him for the handsome, uptight restaurateur who might derail his political future.

Easy isn't even in the top thousand words to describe Kane Dalton's life after his father, a devout southern Baptist minister, kicks him out of the family home for questioning his sexual orientation. Despite all the rotten tomatoes life throws his way, Kane makes something of himself. Between owning a thriving upscale Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Minneapolis and managing his long-term boyfriend, his plate is full. He struggles to get past the teachings of his childhood to fully accept his sexuality and rid himself of the doubts brought on by his religious upbringing. The last thing he needs is the yummy, sophisticated, blond-haired distraction sitting at table thirty-four.

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.

Claire's Review

4 Bare Naked Stars ****

‘Always’ is a love story. It's M/M yes, but a love story still....

Avery is driven. Coming from a loving privileged family coming out was easy for him. Running for office not so much.

Kane is also driven. Ostracised by his religious family, he takes in an adopted 'family' who accepts him, in their wake.

For Avery meeting Kane is love at first sight. Kane feels the pull of attraction but is at first a little bewildered.

“Avery studied Kane, examining him as if he were being dissected under a microscope until he held Kane’s boxer’s out to him. “I’m shallow enough that I want to have sex with you anyway, but you need to tell me now if this is it between us. I want more than tonight, but if you don’t, tell me.”

As they're relationship develops they soon realise being in this type of relationship in the 70's will never be considered 'normal' yet normal is all they want.

“Do you understand what we are telling you? There is no way you would be supported if you ran as a gay man.”

“Dammit, Kane! I’m so sick of that look you get in your eyes whenever I suggest we do anything a normal couple would do. We’re gay, we’re in love, and we’re married. It’s not wrong. We’re not wrong!”

But their love is so strong; nothing can break them or keep them apart. This book made my angry, it made me sad, and it made me so happy. There will be tears, as the beginning and the end merge, blurring the lines...Ms Alexander is brave in the way she wrote the book, she made a brave and controversial decision in the ending but true love, well maybe that truly can never be broken........

**Blog Tour** Heal My Heart by Elley Arden

Title: Heal My Heart (Kemmons Brothers #3)

Author: Elley Arden

Published:  March 10, 2014
Published by:  Crimson Romance
Genre: Contemporary

Female professional football quarterback M.J. Rooney has her eye on the prize, a record-breaking, championship season-even if her parents are less-than supportive of her non-traditional, gender-bending career. Sure, it would be nice to have support from the people she loves, but she believes in herself, and she has her teammates. That’s all she needs to win a championship…until a scuffle at a baseball game sends her over the railing onto the field. The ensuing concussion threatens her season.

Dr. Tag Howard has something to prove-he’s worth way more than his biological father, Francis Kemmons, led him to believe. Maybe Tag wasn’t as talented as his brothers when it came to playing baseball, but that doesn’t mean he can’t contribute to the game. He’s poised to become Major League Baseball’s go-to sports medicine doctor if he can handle one thing: rehabilitating the Gold Glove Centerfielder who just so happens to be his estranged brother, Grey. It’s more than Tag can take…until an unorthodox angel crashes into his life with a concussion and a fresh perspective.

M.J. doesn’t need a man. She needs a championship ring. Getting messed up with a sexy doctor and his world of perfect image isn’t going to get her there. Tag doesn’t need to be led astray from his calculated path of achievements, and he doesn’t need reminders from his gritty, depressing past. Hanging out with a brazen woman who thinks the world is no holds barred could strip him of everything. But the attraction is undeniable, and there’s surprising freedom from expectations in each other’s arms…until the outside world presses in.

With Tag’s brothers pushing for a reunion that requires him to own up to his ugly past, and M.J.’s biggest season on the line amidst too many distractions, maybe life apart would be easier.

Tammy's Review

4 Bare Naked Stars****

This is the third book in the Kemmon Brothers Baseball Series but can be read as a stand alone.  I really loved Heal My Heart.  Its such a perfect title for this story. 

MJ was a professional woman football player and worked at a bar.  She is a spit fire and says it like it is.  No beating around to tell you what she thinks attitude.  She has big family issues with her parents and lots of baggage.

Tag is a sports medicine doctor.  He is super SEXY but has been hiding behind an incredible amount of family baggage.  He can’t let go of his troubled past. 

MJ and Tag met when MJ had an accident that threatened her football season.  They worked together to get her back on the field and had an instant connection.  Neither one ever felt so connected to another person before. No male has ever supported MJ football career like TJ has done from their first meeting.  They have some steamy sex scenes. 

“Do you have Grey Goose?” She laughed. “We have vodka, and occasionally it’s a little gray, but I don’t think it has anything to do with geese.” “Okay, then I’ll take a gray vodka tonic without the goose, and a lime, please.”

But they both have so many issues to work through.

“I can’t seem to forget him,” he whispered. “Twenty-five years, and he’s stuck in my head.”

Tag has never dealt with the way his father threw him away and ended up in foster care and eventually adopted.  While his brothers stayed with his dad.  He still harbours so many ill feelings towards his brothers.  

All MJ has ever wanted was for her family to support her football career.  Instead of them telling her to find a reputable career. 

“Dad, your disapproval really hurts me. You have to make a better attempt to accept me for who I am, or I’m going to stop attempting to have a relationship with you. I’m not going to change. What you see is what you get.”

Can they work through their problems and find happiness together? Or is it all too much and they end up going their separate ways?

 I loved the dual POV.  It really made Tag’s childhood so much more heartbreaking. I felt his pain growing up with his disapproving father. It made the story!

No spoilers here. I loved the ending. I really enjoyed Heal My Heart.  I thought Elley Arden did a great job and I will definitely read her upcoming books
