</ span> EXCERPT:

This time it was Angie's turn to laugh. She turned to me her eyes alight with mischief. "So, Josh, how was your night?"
</ div> Damn. I knew at some point she was going to bring it up. Not knowing how much Lauren had told her, I figured deflection was the way to go. I smiled, hoping that it didn't look fake. "It was an awesome party. Did you have fun?" I asked.</ span>
</ div> Unfortunately, Angie knew me way too well. "I had a fantastic time, but stop trying to change the subject. I saw you dancing with Lauren," she said with a smirk.</ o:p>
</ div> She was never going to give up. I needed to play this off. Angie didn't need any more encouragement in her quest to find me someone. "Yeah, she's pretty cool," I offered, shrugging my shoulders. "She hit the bar with us after the party."
</ div> I saw Caleb watching me out of the corner of my eye. He knew something was up—he always could see right through me. He knew there was more to the story and he was just waiting for a better time to ask.
</ div> Angie, on the other hand, looked disappointed. Huh? After all of the threats from Emily, she looked like she was hoping for more. Then again, I doubt Angie had been rooting for me to have a one-night stand with Lauren.
</ div> "Josh," she whined. "We have to find you someone."
</ div> I sighed. "I'm happy with my life."
</ div> She turned her nose up at me. Guess that was the wrong thing to say. "Oh, so you're happy sleeping with a new girl every weekend?" she argued.
</ div> "You make it sound like a bad thing?"
</ div> I watched the anger flash in her eyes. Oops, definitely the wrong thing to say. She stood up and stepped towards me, forcing me to look up at her. "You're an ass. With an attitude like that, you deserve to be alone," she snarled before storming off to their room and slamming the door.
</ div> "Angie," I yelled. Getting up, I walked down and knocked on the door. Even though we disagreed, I still cared about her and didn't want her to think I was a complete jerk. "Angie, I'm sorry. Please come back out."
</ div> The lack of response spoke volumes. Turning back to the living room, I went and sat back down on the couch. I looked up to see Caleb glaring at me.
</ div> "Did you need to be such an asshole?"        </ o:p> "Dude, I wasn't trying to be a dick. I just don't get why she’s so determined to set me up." Caleb shook his head at me. "Is it really so bad? Angie just wants to see you happy."</ span> "I don't need a girl in my life to make me happy. Why is that so hard for you two to understand?" I asked, exasperated.
</ div> Caleb leaned forward to rest his forearms on his thighs and clasped his hands together. He took a deep breath before beginning. "Josh, I've known you for three years and I know for a fact you're not happy, and lately it's been getting worse." \ He stopped to look down and when he looked back up again I could see the annoyance in his eyes. "Since you haven't seen your dad lately, that's not the reason. And it's total bullshit that you're happy screwing a different girl every night."
</ div> That sweeping assumption was like gas to a flame. Who was Caleb to determine what made me happy?
</ div> "What gives you the right to tell me what I want? I'm not you, Caleb. If there was someone I really wanted, I’d go after them, not run away. There just isn't one that fits that category." I turned to head back to my bedroom when Caleb's voice stopped me.
</ div> "I know something happened between you and Lauren last night."
</ div>
A thousand different explanations raced through my mind but before I could say anything he put his hand up to stop me. "Don't even try to deny it. It’s written all over your face. I'm not sure exactly what happened, nor do I want to know, but if you're gonna keep sleeping with anything that breathes, please stay away from Angie's friends." Avoiding my gaze he looked down to the floor, rubbing the back of his neck in a way that made me think I wouldn’t like what he was going to say. "I wouldn't want to have to choose between you and her," he said sadly.

Synopsis: </ span>

What happens when one moment changes the course of your entire life? Do you sit back and accept it, or fight to live the life you choose? Caleb Jacobs has a past that has haunted him for two years. Knowing he can never forgive himself for the events that led to his departure, Caleb chooses to live a quiet life—concentrating on school, sports, and shots. But when he is paired with Angie for a history project he realizes that no matter how much you try to hide from your past, one way or another it will find you.</ span>

Angelina Powers knows what she wants from life. Growing up with only an alcoholic father for company, Angie learned early on in life that you can only count on yourself. But that doesn’t stop her wishing for her white knight. She’s confident, happy and focused…until she meets Caleb.

Synopsis

Cecille “CeCe” Cervetti lives her life by one rule: Never let a man control her heart, ever again.


CeCe has built a life to be proud of--she’s successful in business, and in lust. Men are her playground, to take from, and use to her body’s content. They can only have what she is willing to give, so don't try asking for more.

When an unknown stalker raises the stakes, ripping away her hard won control, CeCe reluctantly seeks help from the first, and last, man she gave her heart to before he vanished from her life--Jarod Gates.

As they struggle to unmask the stalker, CeCe and Jarod learn of each other’s scarred pasts—scars that made them who they are today. But when her body screams for Jarod’s touch, can CeCe manage to keep her control? Or will Jarod make her question the one rule she’s built her life on?

Author Info

I live in New England with my young family.  I’m a stay at home mom to two very active children.  For all of you who are familiar with the stress of this job, I decided to complete an item on my bucket list and write a book.  When I’m not writing, you will find me cooking, reading, shopping or being silly with the kids.  In my opinion, one of life’s greatest pleasure is being able to get lost in a book.
I wish you all happy reading and hope you fall in love with the men of Hamden.

Thanks for having me.  I’m releasing my fourth Indie published book, Breaking Spades.  This is the fourth installment in my Hamden Series.  This book was a lot of fun to write.  I’m a lover of reading and true life romance.  You know the kind that involves realistic flaws and imperfections.  I love to lose myself in a story that I can easily picturing occurring.  I’ve always wanted to write and one day I decided to just “give it a go,” and well, here I am.  I live in New England with my husband and two small children. 
What are your ambitions for your writing career?  Hopes that when someone opens my book, they never regret their choice to read my stories.
Which writers inspire you? So many, but to name a few, Lori Foster, Elizabeth Lowell, Kat Martin, Alice Montalvo-Tribue, Lynetta Halat, Heather Gunter, Mary Wasowski, Tracey Manning, Beth Michelle.
So, what have you written? Three of Hearts, Hamden Series #1, Three of Spades, Hamden Series #2, Three of Diamonds, Hamden Series #3 and now Breaking Spades, Hamden Series #4

Give us an insight into your main character. What does he/she do that is so special? CeCe and Jarod are both carrying scars.  One is trying to protect themselves the other is trying to right a wrong.  Put them together and you have a hot and sassy read.
What are you working on at the minute? I’m venturing out of Hamden, Vermont and am writing the first installment in my next series.
What’s it about?  About a small town sheriff that wants nothing to do with another woman after he was scorned, yet he can’t control the draw he has to the towns newest citizen.
What genre are your books? Contemporary Romance
What draws you to this genre? Stories about adults, you know people that are above every night at the bar or the daily happenings on a college campus.
Which actor/actress would you like to see playing the lead character from your most recent book? I envision CeCe coming to life by the lovely Serinda Swan.  Jarod Gates has always been Tom Hardy to me.
How much research do you do?  I research portions that I want to keep accurate, but most of my books are my imagination or parts of my life that are just too good not to be shared.  Some of the best fiction isn’t fiction at all,
Have you written any other novels in collaboration with other writers?  No but I would love to.
When did you decide to become a writer?  I always wanted to write, yet I still have a hard time considering myself a writer.
Why do you write? It’s a passion that I enjoy and people tell me I’m good at it, so why not?

Do you ever get writer’s Block? Yes and it isn’t a pretty sight.
Any tips on how to get through the dreaded writer’s block? Talk it out with people.  Why are you stuck?  Where is the story, where do you want it to go?  How do you want it to end?
Do you think that the cover plays an important part in the buying process? Yes.  I released Three of Hearts and Three of Spades with what I wanted the covers to be.  Needless to say they didn’t get much notice.  Then I decided to rerelease them with hotter covers and dang, people were really excited about it.  We are creatures of habit.  You wouldn’t want to see a movie that doesn’t look entertaining right?  So why would you want to buy a book that didn’t grab you either? 
How are you publishing this book and why? Indie, it is a fabulous community and there are always people willing to help. Don’t get me wrong, I think it would be fabulous to get signed by a big name publisher but being Indie, I make the rules, so that definitely has its perks. What’s your views on social media for marketing?

I couldn’t sell a book without it
What is your favourite book and why?

Oh this is a tough one, but I will go with Lori Foster’s Too Much Temptation.  It was the first book that I read that dealt with a heroine with self-image problems.  You know big girls need love too.
What is your favourite quote?

Too many to say but one of my favorites is, “Over me? To be over me, babe, you'd have to have been under me. And if you'd ever been under me, there'd be no getting over me." ~ Adrian from Everything I’ve Never Had by Lynetta Halat.  I mean Dang!
What is your favourite film and why?

Love Actually, because Love really is all around us.
Where can you see yourself in 5 years time?

Happy that I didn’t let my fear hold me back, other than that who knows.

What advice would you give to aspiring writers?

Go for it.  Even the most proclaimed and established authors aren’t liked by everyone.  If someone doesn’t like you story, it doesn’t mean someone else won’t.

 Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to take part in this interview.

Book: Invincible Author: Alana Albertson Synopsis: I’ll be honest with you—I’m no hero. Sure—the media tries to brand every Navy SEAL as some kind of Batman dressed in cammies. There’s even a line in one of our cadences—”superman is the man of steel, he ain’t no match for Navy SEAL.” You’ve seen the movies—we’re indestructible, invincible, invulnerable. But that night, the one you read about in the papers—all I really wanted to do was get laid. One harmless fuck with a Curaçao whore—no strings attached. I picked her out of a lineup—wild, dark hair, long legs and a crooked smile. After she sucked me off, I relaxed back onto the creaky, cum-stained cot, thankful for the blissful moments she gave me when I actually forgot for a second the faces of my buddies who died because I made the wrong call, the tears of the children I couldn’t save, and the eyes of the enemies I slaughtered during their last seconds of life. But before I left, her green eyes peered into my soul. She whispered in a distinct So Cal accent, “My name is Annie Baylis. I’m an American citizen. I was kidnapped from a cruise ship five years ago. You’re my last hope. Please save me.” One desperate plea. This wasn’t a Hollywood blockbuster or a New York Times best-selling thriller. I knew that this time there was no room for excuses, no margin for errors. I had one chance to put the cape on and be her hero.

SYNOPSIS:


What happens when you can no longer resist the irresistible?

Carina Lobos is a freshman in college. She’s beautiful, sexy, and absolutely irresistible to many. Jaxon Wright is a junior, captain of the rowing team, and can have any girl he wants. Their chemistry is undeniable and explosive.

When a sexual encounter goes viral, things spiral out of control. Carina's officially branded "Jaxon's best" as for a man-whore that's saying a lot.  Girls sneer at Carina while guys now see her as an easy lay.

As Carina attempts to push Jaxon out of her thoughts, the magnificent owner of Club 69, Valentino DeLuca captures her attention... but Jaxon won't be dissuaded.  While Valentino provides a sexy distraction, Jaxon's relentless pursuit finally wears her down and they tentatively begin a relationship.  Jaxon works to convince Carina that he's genuine and that he wants the relationship to work.  Although Jaxon is Mr. Wright he's all sorts of wrong for Carina. 

As great as Jaxon is in bed, Carina isn’t willing to give her heart. Can Jaxon prove to be too irresistible and ultimately win Carina’s heart, regardless of the competition?
Disclaimer:  This is not your typical love story.  Boy does not meet girl... Get in her pants... And everyone falls in love and lives happily -ever-after.  Consider this your more atypical love story with twists and turns throughout the journey including pit stops along the way... Side trips that allow for growth, development, and experimenting.  There will be some dabbling in F/M/F and M/F/M action... so sit tight, enjoy the ride, and hope everyone gets there changed but all in one piece.

EXCERPT:

A commotion down the hall interrupted them. A large group gathered peering into one of the rooms, causing others to congregate.
"Shit" Andrea muttered. "Party might end soon if that's a fight."
Their small group shuffled toward the assembling crowd. Carina rolled her eyes knowing they were being sheep following the herd. At the entrance to the door Carina noticed most of Jaxon's entourage. Her internal radar screamed to stay away. Nothing good could come of this. She grabbed Desirae's arm and froze mid-step; they didn't need to get any closer. She didn't want or need to see what was behind door number three. The crowd pushed them forward causing one of Jaxon's sidekicks to notice her.
"This show's just for you sweetness." The guy sneered as he thrust Carina into the doorway. People complained as she blocked their view, completely frozen in place.
The room must've been what Desirae designated as one of the sex rooms. In the corner a couple was on the sofa going at it but with a throw cover concealing their dirty deed. Another couple was heavily making out while watching the room's occupants and getting their cheap thrills in that manner. But the main attraction was front and center and purposely performing for the room and all those gathered in the hallway.
Carina wasn't surprised to see him. He was proud of every magnificent centimeter of his well sculpted body. Bile rose in her throat. She was nothing more than another notch on his bedpost. She knew this. She'd heard it from plenty of girls. But watching him at this moment, performing for everyone caused mixed emotions. She choked on disgust while trying to ignore her body's immediate response to his gloriously naked body. She was revolted with herself for feeling anything at all.
Jaxon aggressively pursued Carina even after he'd bedded her. He'd whispered sweet nothings in her ear before, during, and after sex. Many girls felt fortunate to get a semblance of his attention. The "specially chosen ones" got to share more than one sexcapade with him.Carina had lost count how many times they'd had sex. What could she say? The man was gifted. But to watch him bending this girl over and thrusting into her like a dog in heat was too much. He knew everyone was watching and it only aroused him all the more. The ignorant girl look mortified to be in the presence of an audience but simultaneously in ecstasy at having Jaxon's dick inside her.
It was abhorrent to know what was happening but she couldn't tear her eyes away. Jaxon's sidekick caressed her arm. Carina flinched and curled away from him. He wasn't deterred though. The sidekick loudly proclaimed, "Too bad it's not you performing sweetness. Jaxon said you're the best pussy he's ever had... and that's saying a lot."
A few guys snickered. Carina turned her head to the asshole; all she saw was red. The group in the hallway all gaped at her but she didn't give a shit. She should've been humiliated, instead she was furious. He'd purposely brought her front and center. Not only to see Jaxon at his finest but to make them all aware that she was one of his conquests. Carina could see Desirae from the corner of her eye fighting to get through the crowd.
She backhanded the asshole. She may be one of Jaxon's notches but she sure as hell would never have allowed this. She knew the difference between being promiscuous and being a stupid skank.
"Fuck" Jaxon hissed as he realized who stood in the doorway. He pulled out of the girl and shoved her aside. Carina turned to look at him. She looked down at his glorious erection. He unconsciously held it in his hand and stroked back and forth as he stared at her. His eyes hooded with lust as he stepped toward her. He hadn't looked like that while banging the girl."Carina" he pleaded in a husky voice. She turned in disgust and stepped away from the doorway as the crowd gasped.
"You came for her?" The girl in the room shrieked. Carina turned to see Jaxon still watching her. His seed sprayed all over the floor and onto his hands. He had no condom on. The bile rose faster. She'd used rubbers with him practically every time knowing that he'd had his fair share of pussies. Thoughts of STD's pummeled at her like a freight train reminding her that it served her right if she caught something. Someone like Jaxon just couldn't help himself. Here he was at a party, guaranteed to find someone fuck-worthy and rather than bring a rubber he just stuck it in. Disgusting!
"You couldn't get the job done" Jaxon growled at the poor girl. She looked utterly humiliated.Desirae yoked Carina away from everyone. They could still hear them. She didn't know if Jaxon even bothered to put his pants on. He was well endowed and was proud to show it off.
"You fucking prick" Jaxon bellowed. His sidekick said something in return but the crowd's chants drowned out his words. Carina flinched as she heard the contact. Knowing the hierarchy in the group, Jaxon must've hit the lackey. Served him right too. Only if someone would kick Jaxon in the balls then maybe there'd be justice in the world.
Someone shouted at the group to separate. They all scattered like roaches while Desirae escorted Carina outside. Nauseous, Carina ran to the bushes and dry heaved. She couldn't believe what had just happened.

Character bios:



Tommy Blade:   Guitar god.  Rising star.  Blond Adonis.   A man with a secret.   In control of everything in his life.  A hard rock guitar player with no intention of changing bands or the genre of the music he loves to play – until he meets mega-talented punk rock singer Angel Garcia.  Once they meet, it’s like a match to gasoline.  He struggles to find the balance between the woman he loves and the man who sets his soul on fire.  He leaves his hard rock roots behind, and becomes The Prince of Punk Rock.






Jessi Blade:  Rocker chick. Fashionista.  Determined.  Strong-willed.  Clothing designer.   Her loyalty to Tommy is steadfast and she guards his secret.  Dedicated to the band.  She’s trying to make a name for herself as a fashion designer, but she can’t tear herself away from the limelight of the stage long enough to launch her rock and roll clothing line.  Her day to day life is what most people dream about.  Fiercely loyal to Tommy, but falling hard for Angel Garcia.  She always knew Tommy needed  man in his life, and she loves him enough to share him, but she’s not going to take a back seat anyone.






Angel Garcia:  Born superstar. Destined for fame.  A showman.  Sex personified.  Perfectionist.   A hopeless romantic.  He has a voice that can shatter glass and bring you to your knees.  He feeds off the energy of the crowd like a drug.  A soux chef in his family’s restaurant by day, a punk rock sensation by night.  He’s a man who knows what he wants and goes after it – and he wants Tommy Blade.


Excerpt:
The faces changed since the last time he was there, but the intention was still the same. It wasn’t a place to socialize or partake in camaraderie or drop in for a drink on your way home. It was meeting place for men interested in casual sex. The backroom served as a shanty for a quick encounter. You could stop in, get your rocks off and be on your way in half an hour. It was a smorgasbord of testosterone, a buffet of muscle and beefcake.Men flocked around him as soon as he walked through the door. They always did. A guy once told him that it was the mixture of his rugged jaw and strong upper body, offset by the innocence of his big blue eyes that made him so attractive. The ladies always said it was his long blond hair and the guitar.

  Chelsea Camaron was born and raised in Coastal North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern Louisiana with her husband and two children but her heart is always Carolina day dreaming.
Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice. 
Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspired her ‘Love and Repair’ and ‘The Hellions Ride’ series. Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in the works. 
When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in. She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.

Synopsis:  Crash.....a crash ended it all and started it all. Dina Fowler is attending college with her long time best friend Maggie Lawson. Life is good and carefree. Until the crash that changed it all. Her freshman year ends with the loss of her parents in a car accident, spiraling Dina into a deep depression. Secluding herself as she picks up the pieces to her life, slowly she finds the only person she has left is Maggie. 
Chance encounters sometimes make the most incredible moments, other times they crash and burn. A chance encounter brings Michael barreling into a lost and vulnerable Dina's life. Playing on every weakness she has, he weasels his way into her heart. Slow build up to the hell that was soon to become Dina's daily nightmare. Her parents are gone. She wants out but has no idea how to escape her new reality. 

Can she find her way out? Or will she be lost completely burning in her own personal hell? 

To the reader, 
Broken. Battered. Not defeated. This is not a pretty story, wrapped in a nice package. This is a real story. Parts of this story are my very own. Defeated by the hands and words of a man, I am no more. This is a story of how easily the warning signs are overlooked. An outsider can easily say, “How do women stay in abusive relationships?” They don’t understand, it starts in little ways, a slow build up, by the time you are aware, it can be too late. 
This is a story centered around an abusive relationship and the fight to get out. If you don't like real situations (this happens every day to more women then you realize) then skip this book and move on to Restore My Heart and the others, which are not like this story. This is real and its raw so this is your warning before you buy and read.
