Writing has always been my one true love. I wrote my first novel-length story in 8th grade and haven't stopped since. I received a B.A. in creative writing from SUNY Oswego and I'm now working on a MFA in popular fiction at Seton Hill University.  When I'm not writing, I spend my time reading, painting (badly), exploring new places, and enjoying time with my family. Give me a good horror movie over a chick flick any day. (And, let's be honest, I'll take a bad horror movie too!) I'm a geek at heart and pledge my avid TV fandom to Supernatural and Doctor Who. I'm also a big fan of The Voice. What can I say? Guilty pleasure.​​   I share my life with two dogs and a ginormous cat. We live in a small town in PA, but I suffer from a bad case of wanderlust and usually end up moving someplace new every few years. Luckily, my animals are all excellent travel buddies.

Up to Me (The Bad Boys #2)

 

by M. Leighton

Kindle Edition, 289 pages

Published January 4th 2013 by M. Leighton Books

*Personal Purchase

Happily ever after doesn’t come easy. But for love, it’s always worth the fight.

 

Olivia finds bliss unlike any she’s ever known in Cash’s arms. He sets her skin on fire and melts her heart right inside her chest. Unfortunately, their happily ever after is short-lived when a shadow from Cash’s past threatens to turn their world upside down.

 

Dangerous people from his father’s world have discovered that Cash holds information that could put them away for a very long time. And they’re willing to do anything—and hurt anybody—to get it back. Giving it up means Cash must choose between the life of his father and the life of Olivia.

 

Having nearly overcome her wariness of bad boys, Olivia’s trust is shaken when this new threat arises. Now she finds that Cash is not only a danger to her heart, but his family has associations that are a danger to her life as well. She soon discovers that there are some situations in life where trust is a girl’s only option. And this is one of them. If she’s to live, she must trust Cash with her life. But to Olivia, that’s much, much easier than letting go and trusting him with her heart

Down to You (The Bad Boys, #1)      

Up to Me (The Bad Boys, #2) 

Untitled (The Bad Boys, #3)

   

A total game changer. Up To Me DID NOT live up to the excitement and sexiness as the first book, but it was still an enjoyable read!  Alright... let's just do this, Cash and Olivia are back, and with them comes danger. Danger in the form of Russian mobsters, kidnappings, and threats.  I know weird right That's just it, I kind of felt dooped with this book. I was looking for this to be a high romance, little action with some awesome smexy scenes. Instead we get action, that bored me at times, and a little romance which saddened me, cuz' I really love Cash and when he's on he's on, he just wasn't "on" for me in this book. I mean when I first read Down To You, I was swept away by the romance, sexy scenes and overall bantor among the characters.  In this one I was indifferent about it. I missed those hot and heavy scenes, we do get a few and the one at the end of the book was steamy, but I just think it was a lot less smexy. I mean don't get me wrong it's a good book, with action, kidnapping, SURPRISES, and a new hottie-->Gavin, but overall I just had a hard time with it. I mean it just didn't carry the same spark and excitement as the first book. I wanted to feel the heart-pounding emotions I felt with the first book. I wanted to feel excitement with the characters, I mean there was excitement, and sexiness, and LOL moments, but I just think the action could of been more heart pounding, you know, the kind that makes you hold your breath, the kind where when your trying to get to the person you "love" and your desperate, aching for them, emotions needed to run higher. It took me a lot longer to finish this second book in the series, but I did and I did like it I liked the surprise's,  Gavin, and when the book was more character driven with interaction between all the characters. . Will I continue with this series? -YES Do I still love M Leighton? -Hell Yes!! Do I wish she brings back the steam and heat? HELL YES! My overall gripe, I think I was expecting something different. Maybe it's just me, I mean some people LOVED this book, and others felt like I did. Having chatted on Goodreads about it makes me feel I may not be the only one who missed the romance. Did you read this book? What were your feelings? Do you think I just missed the mark on this one? And, did you read a book that was a total 180 degrees different from the first in a series, and wished it were better or the same as the first, as far as the storyline goes?   3/5

.Book Blitz #Giveaway Boys Of Summer by @CJ_Duggan

The Boys of Summer by C.J. Duggan (Summer Series, #1) 

New Adult Contemporary Romance

Publication date: December 17th 2012

It seemed only natural to nickname them the ‘Onslow Boys’. Every time they swaggered in the front door of the Onslow Hotel after a hard week’s work, their laughter was loud and genuine as they settled onto their bar stools. I peeked through the restaurant partition, a flimsy divider between my world and theirs. I couldn’t help but smile whenever I saw them, saw him ... Toby Morrison.

Quiet seventeen-year-old Tess doesn’t relish the thought of a summertime job. She wants nothing more than to forget the past haunts of high school and have fun with her best friends before the dreaded Year Twelve begins.
To Tess, summer is when everything happens: riding bikes down to the lake, watching the fireworks at the Onslow Show and water bomb fights at the sweltering Sunday markets.

How did she let her friends talk her into working?

After first-shift disasters, rude, wealthy tourists and a taunting ex-boyfriend, Tess is convinced nothing good can come of working her summer away. However, Tess finds unlikely allies in a group of locals dubbed ‘The Onslow Boys’, who are old enough to drive cars, drink beer and not worry about curfews. Tess’s summer of working expands her world with a series of first times with new friends, forbidden love and heartbreaking chaos.

All with the one boy she has never been able to forget.

It will be a summer she will always remember.

Warning: sexual references, and occasional course language.

“Don’t you dare.” I grabbed his arm, pulling him backwards. His eyes darted to where my hand rested on him. I didn’t move my hand, I couldn’t physically bring myself to break the contact; all of a sudden there were no smiles, no jokes, just him and me and our space on the couch. I could only hear the music and be aware of the heat of his skin and the rapid rise and fall of my chest in this moment. 

The only thing that snapped me out of my daze was Toby’s words which seemed low and raspy. 

“Is Adam your boyfriend?” His gaze flicked over my face as he waited for my answer. My mouth gaped open; I couldn’t hide the fact I was dumbfounded by the question. 

I blinked quickly and took my hand from his arm. I struggled to construct a legible sentence.  

“Oh – um, no, we’re just friends, it’s not like that.” 

His stony expression didn’t falter, didn’t reveal any kind of emotion. He was so hard to read, and I wanted to read him so badly. He gave a small nod and handed me the CD cover.  

“Better go and make sure these guys aren’t cheating.” And without another word, he got up and headed towards the pool table.
