At first glance, twenty-one-year-old Jan Weston
has it all: a gorgeous boyfriend, fun friends, and wealthy parents who take
care of all those pesky credit card bills.
Then her boyfriend dumps her, her friendships fall apart, and her parents cut
her off. Suddenly without money, without a man, and without a plan, it's time
for Jan to grow up.
Determined to get her life back on track, Jan decides it's time to make it on
her own. Can she find her way as a single lady in San Diego? Can she fix her
friendships, her job prospects, and her hair? And can she keep her vow that
she'll never date again, even after she meets a guy who just might be perfect
for her?
BETWEEN BOYFRIENDS is a sexy, hilarious story of living life, finding love, and
growing up... but not necessarily in that order.
Praise for Between Boyfriends
"This book is the ultimate chick-lit
read--a light-hearted romp focused on the travails of Jan, a college student
dumped by her boyfriend, an SDSU student. The moment proves an epiphany,
as Jan resolves to stop dating and find fulfillment as a single woman."
- East County Magazine
Between Boyfriends "presents a unique twist
on the chick lit genre." - Hollywood & Vine magazine
"Over the course of the book, Jan, who is in her early 20s, begins to grow
as a person and even strikes up a true friendship with a man, a first for
her." - Rancho Santa Fe Review
"Cut off by parents? Not got a boyfriend? That's the formula for a chick
lit hit." - Indie Author Land
"The book teaches both subtle and obvious lessons about friendship,
relationships, responsibility and decision making." - The Masquerade Crew
"Between Boyfriends is a delicious slice of chick-lit! Snappy dialogue
sets this story apart from the pack as it follows a young woman who,
financially cut off by her parents when she fails to attend school, learns that
life is more than her Amex card, and reunites with a mother who has endured her
own brand of pain." - Jan Moran, bestselling author
"BETWEEN BOYFRIENDS is a great read. It's got everything you'd expect in a
chick-lit book: good friends, fun, and a little romance, but the thing
Sarka-Jonae adds to this story is a journey." - Caroline Fardig,
bestselling author

Book Blitz: Seduce by Missy Johnson
~Book & Author Details~
Seduce by Missy Johnson
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
~Synopsis~
Twenty-five year old Jack Falcon doesn’t do relationships, and why would he when he has woman after woman literally throwing themselves at him? For Jack, life is perfect just the way it is. He works hard and he plays harder.
Jack’s life changes when he meets Belle. Unlike any woman he’s ever met, there is something about this girl that makes him unable to keep away, something beyond the youthful beauty and her innocent spirit. Belle is strong and independent, a big leap from the usual brainless chicks he tends to attract.
Jack begins a dangerous game. He is determined to seduce Belle, and without realizing it, his feelings for her develop beyond anything he has ever felt before. Things become complicated when he learns there are good reasons as to why he should stay the hell away from her.
How can you stay away from someone you want to spend every waking minute with? And what do you do when you know eventually you will destroy that person?
As their feelings for each other deepen, Jack struggles with his own internal demons which threaten to rip them apart. Jack is torn between following his heart and listening to his head, which keeps telling him he is not good enough for her. She deserves better than what he can give her.
How far will he push before they both fall over the edge?

~Excerpt~
“Come here,” I said to her, motioning towards my face. She moved in for a kiss, and I laughed. “Not those lips,” I said with a cheeky grin. She giggled and positioned herself just above my face.
“It’s okay,” I said, sensing her hesitation. “Just lower yourself down onto me.” She obliged, gasping as my mouth settled on her lips.
“Oh God,” she gasped as I moved my tongue inside of her. I loved the sweet taste of her pussy, especially when it was so wet and tight for me. My tongue circled around her clit, gently nibbling and sucking. She screamed as the muscles in her thighs tensed, indicating she wasn’t far away. I thrust my tongue faster while my finger massaged her clit.
“Fuck, yes, Jack! Fuck, fuck,” she yelled as her body spasmed. “Stop, oh god, stop,” she whimpered. She lifted herself off my face so she was lying on top of me, her mouth next to mine. I grabbed her hair and pushed her lips onto mine, kissing her hungrily.
“Can you taste how sweet you are,” I muttered, my tongue circling hers. She whimpered, as though she was unable to get enough. Eventually she pulled away, her head resting on my chest.
The truth about Jack...
4 Stars!
Hotness factor: Blinded by the light! Give me a female POV any day...
Disclaimer: I receive an ARC from the author in exchange of an honest review.
Although people didn't talk or act like the Londoners are interact with everyday, I enjoy the book.
Monologue:
Monologue:
Jack, you're as immature and emotionally unavailable as a 25 year old lad can be. Yes son, I'm talking to you. You're going out with your mates, picking up birds, drinking way too much (typical Brit), working at a job you loathe... I think we met on the tube a few times (only stupid people drive to work in this city Jack!).
But then you go and fall in love Belle. I won't say more about her because I don't want to spoil it for future readers.
The thing is Jack, you never really sold Belle to me as a good love match for you. I never got to see her personality shine and what she did to make you love her so much. And I really wish I had.
At the end of the book, I finally got to meet Jack and his life story. I wish I've met this person sooner in the book and hope that he sticks around in the second installment.
