Luck Of Love Blog Tour Stop


5 Stars!!!!!

Synopsis:

Blake Riley thought she could leave her traumatic past behind when she left for college. Starting a new life and moving forward never sounded so good. Living carefree with her best friend in Ocean City New Jersey gave her the freedom she had always hoped for.

But sometimes life isn’t so carefree.

When Blake finds herself torn between the affections of two men, emotions that have been buried for years will be exposed. Derrick, a powerful CEO of a popular casino resort, instantly captivates her. Being drawn into his domineering passion, she bares herself to him in a way she least expected. With Landon, a successful attorney, she can be someone new; someone free from her haunting past. Each man evokes a different side of Blake. As both relationships grow stronger, walls will slowly begin to crack.

What will happen when the past slowly creeps its way into the present?

With two worlds filled with secrets and lies, it’s only a matter of time before they crash and truths are revealed.

Review:

When I started this book I had NO idea what to expect, see I am one of those judge a book by its cover type people, and I never bothered to read the synopsis…….all I can say is WOW!!

Blake is a smart mouthed almost bitchy girl that has a very broken past that keep her from having more than 2 friends. After reading all that she has been through I completely understand her attitude toward other people.

Blake’s closest friend and roommate is Dean, I love this friendship! These two are honest and caring and honestly share an incredible bond. Dean is the kind of guy you want in your life, he genuinely cares without any expectation of things going further, he really just wants the best for Blake.

Not only are Blake and Dean roommates they also work in a bar called Frankie’s, it is here where she first meets HIM!!!

“He's tall, lean, and the most attractive man I've ever seen
” (Blake)

Derrick is A successful CEO of a nearby Casino is in town for a seminar, he walks into the bar where Blake works and immediately has an effect on Blake like no one else ever has.  The two mix like oil and water at their first meeting, and Blake was super happy to see him go. But was this just a one time chance meeting??!!??

Dean’s friend Landon comes to town and spends the day with Dean and Blake, from the beginning there is spark between the two but Blake’s unwillingness to let her guard down does not deter Landon.

Blake has put up walls around herself in order to keep her past at bay. Her past has a hold on her that she can't seem to let go of, Dean has been her rock, can she learn to trust Derrick and/or Landon?

Blake does decide to take a chance unfortunately there are a few twists and turns along the way to finally get to happiness.

I want to laugh until I cry, be carefree without hesitation, love like there is no tomorrow, survive a heartbreak and know that I will have the strength to love again.(Blake)


Throughout this book I became emotionally invested, I wanted them to all come out happy in the end unfortunately only one guy can have Blake and you’ll have to read the book to see what she decides. I cannot wait to read the next book to see how the rest of the story unfolds!

About the Authors:

About Tiffany

I am 27 years old, with a wonderful family. My husband is in the Army, and we have two wonderful children. Ashley and I have been best of friends since we were 13. I recently graduated from South University with my Associate's Degree as a Paralegal. I enjoy listening to music, playing with my kids, and going to the beach, and anything that has to do with the outdoors pretty much.
I’ve always liked to write, but never really had an interest in reading until the summer of 2012. I am so excited to be taking my writing journey with Ashley, and we cannot wait for everyone to get their hands on Luck of Love, which is the first installment in the Luck Series. I have many authors that I consider my favorite so I’ll just name a few: E.L. James, SC Stephens, Molly McAdams, Rebecca Donovan, K.A Linde, Marie Coulson, and S.H. Kolee. 

About Ashley
Ashley grew up in Texas but now has joined her husband to reside in North Dakota. She is a military wife and mother to two adorable children.  She’s always wanted to travel having grown up in a small town. Her interest in reading sparked last summer and now she’s a lost cause without her e-reader.  Since she loves to travel, the places she gets to go in her fictional books are what any girl could ask for.

When Ashley isn’t glued to her computer you can find her outdoors either playing with her children or relaxing and enjoying the sun reading a good romance novel.
