FINDING MY WAY Excerpt Blitz

“Liam?” I turn at the sound of my grandmother calling my name. She beams at me when I step toward her with an out stretched hand. “I want to you meet a friend of mine,” she says. “Liam this is Tess and her son Harrison James. Tess is the personal assistant to my casting agent.” We spent a day going over all the jobs in the industry. There are so many that I got lost and like a true grandma, she made a list for me so I wouldn’t forget. “Harrison plays the drums at a club called Metro. They have open mic nights if you’re interested in talking to him about it,” she whispers. I nod, acknowledging what she’s telling me. I step forward and shake both their hands. “It’s nice to meet you both,” I say. “You too, Liam, your grandmother has told me so much about you. She’s very happy you’ve decided to stay with her.” I look at my grandma who is smiling from ear to ear. She pats my arm. “Why don’t you take Harrison out back and show him around?” “Okay, grandma.” I kiss her on the cheek and signal toward the patio door. Harrison follows, stepping out into the early evening sun. I walk until I’m at the back, where there is a table set up. “Sorry about my grandmother in there. I think she’s trying to make up for all the years we’ve missed.” I sit down and lean my chair up against the tree. “It’s okay. I was pretty much forced to come here tonight.” I inspect Harrison. He’s a bit taller than I am and far skinnier. He has a few tattoos on his arms, making wonder if they’re a necessity in the music industry. I quickly look down at my arms, curious as to what they’d look like with inked etched on them. One thing is for certain, my parents would flip and that thought alone makes me want one. “Because of me?” I ask already knowing the answer but needing the confirmation. He nods. “Yeah,” he says without making eye contact. “My mom is close to your grandmother so they plotted and here I am.” “I’m sorry. If you want to leave, I can make up some excuse.” I know what it feels like to be put in awkward situations. My dad has done it to me many times, which only spurred me to withdraw from him more and more. Harrison shakes his head slightly. “I’m cool.” He looks down at the ground or his feet. It’s not like I want to stare, but I’m trying to figure him out. He runs his hand over his beanie, moving it back and forth before leaving it where it originally was.

 My Thoughts:

  I have no doubt she’ll satisfy my hunger. She’ll quench my thirst. Then I can move on. I can get her out of my system and go about my business.

Heidi McLaughlin definitely threw me by surprise with Jenna and Jimmy's story! Right from the first book in the Beaumont Series I fell in love with all of Heidi's characters, because they are well developed. We get totally different stories in each book with each couple and this is what I absolutely loved about the Beaumont Series. I never got bored of reading about these characters. I was excited to know that Jenna and Jimmy were getting their own story, and that Heidi paired them off together with a HEA :D!



I know one thing’s for sure: I need to keep myself from falling in love with Jimmy Davis because he’s nothing but pure heartbreak waiting to happen.

In Finding My Forever Heidi throws in domestic abuse with Jenna's character. As we all already knew from the previous book that she had been married to a guy that enjoyed abusing her both physically and mentally. My first thought before reading her POV was "she is probably going to be mentally broken from her relationship with her husband" but I was wrong. Once I started reading from her POV I saw the strong women she became after going through such a horrible experience. There are a few times that she shows a little bit of weakness, but she puts herself back together. I just feel in love with her character because she's strong and doesn't let her own troubles and doubts come in the way of her happiness.


This woman can rock my world with just one look. She’s dangerous and if I’m not careful, she’ll break my heart.

I want to present you all to Jimmy Freaking Davis or as all his fans know him, JD :D! In the previous books I thought that Jimmy was just a womanizer that was never going to be able to settle for just one women, because he loves living the rock star life. Heck, I even thought he was a little immature. Heidi McLaughlin sure proved me wrong and made me fall in love with Jimmy. I love all of my Beaumont Boys, but there is just something about Jimmy that made me fall for him. He is just the perfect balance when it comes to dirty and sweet. His character is also mature in the way he thinks about the situations he experiences in the story. I just fell in love with Jimmy Davis because you get both the dirty hot and sweet with his character.


He’s holding on for dear life and as much as I want to hold on with him, I’m afraid.
I know I’m not the best man out there, but I look at you and you make me want to be better.

Jenna and Jimmy's relationship happened at the spur of the moment. I am not kidding. But this is what I loved about their relationship, because even if they just acted without thinking about the consequences it turned out to be one of the most beautiful relationships. As we all know Jimmy doesn't do relationships because of what his ex-girlfriend did to him. That really ruined his thoughts about anything having to do about love and being in a relationship. Jenna doesn't mind being a relationship, but she doesn't trust Jimmy because of his womanizer relationship. Their relationship doesn't start off as any normal relationship. They have a one-night stand and try to be friends but that is just awkward for the both of them. Once Jenna decides to give Jimmy a chance he does everything in his power to prove to her that he would do anything to gain her trust and believe that he wants a stable relationship with her. Of course Heidi throws a few twists and shock surprises that will test their relationship. 


"Jenna has it all. She’s my home.”

Finding My Forever by Heidi McLaughlin is so different from the other two books in the series. Heidi throws in mystery, domestic abuse, and twists that will have your jaw dropping to the floor with the shock. You will find yourself saying "what the hell just happened," because I usually believe I know what will happen next in the story, but that was not the case with Finding My Forever. Jenna and Jimmy's relationship is by far one of my favorites from the Beaumont Series, because it is so different from what I have read. Know I am left wondering what will come next? I want more of these stories from Heidi McLaughlin, because all of her characters are mature, unique, and memorable.


Final Verdict: 4.5 Stars

Review: Forever My Girl by Heidi McLaughlin

Title: Forever My Girl

Author: Heidi McLaughlin

Series: Beaumont #1

Publication Date: December 27, 2012

Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance

Source: Bought

 

Description from Goodreads:

I was never supposed to be a rock star. I had my life all planned out for me. Play football in college. Go to the NFL. Marry my high school sweetheart and live happily ever after.

I broke both our hearts that day when I told her I was leaving. I was young. I made the right decision for me, but the wrong decision for us. I’ve poured my soul into my music, but I’ve never forgotten her. Her smell, her smile.

And now I’m going back.

After ten years.

I hope I can explain that after all this time.

I still want her to be my forever girl.

*I had written this review three months ago, but I just found it today on my computer. So here is my review for Forever My Girl!

 

 

My Thoughts:

 

I ruined her life. That is what her voice message said. The one I've saved for the past ten years. The one I've transferred from phone to phone just so I could hear her voice when I'm at my lowest.

The book starts off great, even if it is not a happy beginning. Liam has left his old life behind in his hometown, but he has also left his heart. I seriously did not understand his actions, until further in the book I understand him. From the very beginning I loved Liam's character. He is a brokenhearted rock star who is trying to live a new life that is surrounded by fame and groupies. Although, Liam is not your typical rock star.

  

 

He took my heart with him when he shut the door.

I loved reading from Josie's POV, which is another thing I loved of Forever My Girl. I enjoy reading books that have both the main characters POV. Josie is really loving, caring, sweet, and just your typical girl who is trying to get over their heartbreak over a guy. She loved Liam with all of her heart and he broke her heart the moment he left her, but she just can't hate him or love anyone else.

 

 

For as long as I can remember, I've lived in a hotel.

Liam lives a very depressing life as a rock star. Before leaving his hometown and the love of his life, he had the almost perfect life (a few problems here and there). Now that he has become a rock star, it seems that his life has the opposite effect on him than other rockers. What rocker would live in  a hotel? From other books I've read with rock stars (not many, but a few) they have an over-the-top condo or house to go to when they are not on tour. 


 

I can sense him; feel him moving across my skin like he's never left. When I open my eyes, he's staring at me. I remind myself that I need to be strong. I call the shots here.

Josie's and Liam's first encounter is emotionally intense. They still have a pull towards each other, but there are just too many things that prevent them from getting back together. One thing and the main thing is that Liam broke both of their hearts and damaged their relationship badly. Then there is the fact that Josie already has another relationship with a guy, Nick. The last thing I can not say or else I will ruin the story. You will just have to read it to find out :D!


 

Nick stops in front of me and grabs my arms, pinning me to the wall. I've never seen him like this before. This is a side of him that I don't like.

I hated Nick's character from the very beginning. He was just too possessive of Josie and he knew from the very beginning that she was still not over, and will never be over Liam. At the beginning of the story Josie describes him of being sweet, loving, and caring of her. But once Liam steps into the scene he turns into a whole different person. I just seriously could not stand his character.

 

In a few short minutes I'll be touching him and I may not want to stop.


My hands cup her face, pulling her closer. I kiss her full on lips. Lips I've missed for so long.

The love and attraction between Liam and Josie is too strong for them to stay away from each other. Josie may try her best to stay away from Liam, because she doesn't want to hurt Nick. But her heart belongs to Liam. The same happens with Liam. He may want to stay away from Josie, but all of his actions and thoughts bring him back to Josie. I really loved the romance between Liam and Josie. It is a sweet romance, but at the same time it is complicated


 

She just showed me what I've been missing all these years.

Heidi McLaughlin delivered an emotionally sweet romance. Forever My Girl is a story that will touch your heart and will leave it's imprint in your heart. This is the story of how two people can have a second chance in happiness, by forgetting about the mistakes in the past. Even if both their hearts were broken by one decision, they can be mended by each other.


 

Final Verdict: 4.5 Stars


Favorite Quotes:


My body sings a song and only he has the melody.

He's different, yet so much the same boy that I fell in love with all those years ago.
The boy I never stopped loving.

Josie tries to hide her elation but her face tells me everything I need to know; she's fantasized about being on the bike with me and I'm about to make her fantasy come true.

"He's an idiot." Liam throws his napkin down on the table. "If you were mine, that finger would not be bare, especially if you were visiting your ex-boyfriend."

"I watched for you and once I saw you, I knew I was going to end up chasing my girl, waiting for you to turn around and see..the real me and love me for who I am and not what I did to you."

He sets my hand on his chest, just over his heart and holds it there as his lips touch mine softly.

My Thoughts:

 

 I’ll let her into my world if she’ll give me one little glimpse of hers. That’s all I ask for.


Heidi McLaughlin never fails when it comes to delivering a roller coaster, rock star romance :D! I was sucked into Harrison and Katelyn's story right from the first few sentences. Yeah, that is all it took for me to be a goner. I finished My Unexpected Forever in two days. The day I began reading it I stayed up until 2:30 a.m., which doesn't always happen unless the book really sucks me into the story. What do I love about Heidi McLaughlin's novels? She always gives the girl's POV and the guy's POV.  I personally loved reading from Harrison's POV :D!



“I don’t know what else to say. I shouldn’t have to sell myself to you. You either like me or you don’t. Thing is, you can’t lie, I know you feel something, you just have to let yourself believe I’m good enough to be a part of your life.” 


HARRISON FREAKING JAMES!!!!!!!! OMG- you will understand the exclamations points once you read My Unexpected Forever ;D!!! Where to began?!?! When I read about Harrison character (Forever My Girl) I thought he was just like any other rock star character I've read about, or similar to Liam. I was completely wrong! Harrison James turned out to be what I never expected his character to be- caring, protective, sensitive, passionate, deep, hot, and he is a man that knows what he wants in his life. I have to confuse that I feel in love with Harrison's character right from the beginning. Let's talk about his tats ;). His body is a freaking canvas with all of the tats he has, but each tattoo tells a story that make him the man he is. His character just has so many layers that have to be shed to understand the real Harrison. Once all of those layers come undone you get this amazing father figure, lover, family man, and a rock-star. Who wouldn't fall in love with Harrison?!?!?! Is he going to be added to my book boyfriend's book list? YES HE IS :D!!!



I would never date a man who is covered in tattoos, wears a beanie and shorts all the time. He’s the quintessential rocker and doesn’t fit my life.


I just want to clarify that I loved Katelyn's character in Forever My Girl. In My Unexpected Forever I just felt like slapping some sense into her. Really girl?!?!? I can't believe such words would fall out of your mouth of not falling in love with a guy covered in tattoos and what not. But I get it. She has always been the proper lady and is a mother figure to her girls. Katelyn has not been around or lived the rocker life, so it is obvious that it will take her time to get used to it. Plus, she had lost her husband and that takes time to move on from. So I might have felt like slapping some sense into Katelyn, but I still loved her character :).



She’s my own personal roller coaster, and right now I’m feeling a bit sick from the jerking back and forth.

I can’t continue to fight my feelings. It’s taking far too much effort on my part to deny what my body and heart are telling me.


Yes, I did find it fucked up that Katelyn was just being hot and cold with Harrison. She leads him on only to reject him the next day. If Harrison was a different man, he would have stopped pursuing her and gotten another girl. But this doesn't happen, because he loves her too much. I gave Katelyn a standing ovation when she decides to give Harrison and herself a try as a couple. I was kept at the edge of my seat waiting for this precise moment to happen in the book. Every time I thought that they were going to get together, Katelyn goes and tells Harrison that it was a mistake. But once they get together it is a freaking explosion. Yes, the first time they has sex was just hot. It was just a ticking boom that was ready to explode. Their relationship is not all about sex- but I can't deny that the sex was insanely hot and sweet every time-because they become a family.



I never thought I’d find him attractive with all this tattoos, but I do. They excite me, and each time we’re together, I learn something about one of them. He’s a story waiting to be told. 


My Unexpected Forever by Heidi McLaughlin has everything you would want to read in a rock star romance. There is lust, passion, love, tension, drinking, partying, rocking, motorcycles, sex, and with My Unexpected Forever you will have to expect the unexpected to happen! Heidi McLaughlin definitely delivered and has made My Unexpected Forever one of my favorite 2013 reads. I recommend everyone to buy and read My Unexpected Forever, because Harrison's and Katelyn's story is a must read.

Swoon Thursday #13: Torch & My Unexpected Forever

It's Swoon Thursday, hosted by  YA Bound. This is a weekly meme, which I will be doing every single Thursday :D! Here is how it works:

From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. Shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound, post it here in the comments, or grab the adorable button above and share it on your blog. We want to know!
 
This week I will be sharing swoons from Torch by Cambria Hebert & My Unexpected Forever by Heidi McLaughlin :D!

 

 Swoon #1:

He kissed me with a passion I never knew existed. With a possession that almost scared me. The way his lips moved over mine--demanding and rough--promised he would own me when all was said and done.

 

Swoon #2:

"I thought fire fighters were supposed to put out fires, not make them," I said when he lifted his head.

    He smiled. "Get used to the heat, sweetheart, because this is one flame I'm never putting out."



 

Swoon #1:

“Want me to distract you?”
    “How on earth are you going to do that?”
    Harrison shrugs and turns his baseball cap around. His lips are on mine before I can take my next breath. As the car moves, jerking us back and forth, his tongue glides against mine in a relaxed state. My hand cups his cheek and my fingers play along his jaw, rubbing the scruff that has grown since his last shave.


Swoon #2:

He grinds against me, making it impossible for me to say no. My fingers seek out the buttons on his vest, then his shirt. I start at the bottom and work my way up. I throw his tie over his shoulder and unbutton the rest of his shirt. My lips are blazing a trail down his chest. I pull hard on his nipple ring just as he pushes up my dress and rips my panties off, the ones I bought especially for tonight.
    “I’ll go fast,” he says, dropping his pants.


Swoon #3:

He watches me. He takes stock in knowing that I’m coming undone by his touch. He pushes harder. My body slams against the wall. The way he keeps control, the way he keeps his rhythm, it’s like I’m the beat of his drum and he’s playing me with every ounce of energy he has. 



I just had to share 3 swoons from My Unexpected Forever by Heidi McLaughlin (LOVED HARRISON) :D! 


What did you think of my swoons?


Leave a link in the comments with your swoon Thursday link :D!

• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

 
This week I will be sharing teasers from Torch by Cambria Hebert and My Unexpected Forever by Heidi McLaughlin. 


Teaser #1:

If a single touch from him could make the entire world fall away, then what would his kiss be like?


Teaser #2:

I felt breathless, shocked, and excited all at once. Shocked at his display of anger, breathless by my body's desire, and excited because he was so incredibly close.



Teaser #1:

All I know is that touching her for that one brief moment, having her hair glide along my knuckles and the look in her eyes when I did it; I felt like I could do anything, all because she didn’t move away, she didn’t look away. She stayed and allowed me one solitary piece of herself and now that moment will burn into my memory until I can do it again.

 

Teaser #2:

I cover my face with my hands while he laughs beside me. What is wrong with me? I’m married, even if my husband isn’t around. I can’t just start over with another man. Life isn’t supposed to work that way.

 

 

What did you think if the teasers? Have you read Torch yet?
