Cover Re-Reveal: Flame by Brooke Cumberland

Synopsis

FLAME is a companion novel in the Spark series, but can be read as a stand alone...
**An erotic romance—Mature audiences only 18+**

Carissa Wright doesn’t do relationships.
Raised with a junkie mother and an alcoholic father, building relationships were far off her list. Rather, one night-stands were her usual.
Carissa has one constant in her life—her best friend Velaney. Completely opposite of each other, yet they balance each other out.
Although Carissa admits to only wanting sex and nothing more, will she allow the one guy who wants to break down her walls or will she run out of fear for finally letting her guard down?
She is unfamiliar with these feelings and wants nothing more than to walk away without a shattered heart. Will she be able to find the courage in order to turn her flame into a long lasting relationship?
With walls built up & emotions turned off, can she learn to put her heart on the line?
Or will each guy just be another flame?

Drew Finlay is a foreign exchange student from London. Studying abroad, he remains focused on school and football. It isn't until he meets Carissa that his consistent routine is interrupted. Knowing very well he'll be heading home in just a matter of months, Drew doesn't pressure Carissa into giving him more than she can give. However, once he falls for her...he isn't giving up.

Control, passion, and desperation.

He'll take her anyway he can have her...

Rylee first met Matt in The Promise, for them it was just the beginning.

Rylee Blake is broken. She has little faith, no trust in people and doesn't believe in herself. Having grown up in a home with a verbally abusive stepfather and a mother suffering from depression, an 8 year old Rylee has her heart shattered completely, hearing the words that no child should ever hear, "You ruined your Moms life".

Rylee realizes that this isn't a home, this is just a shell of a house that she needs to get far away from. She makes a pinky promise with her childhood friend Ava, that as soon as they're old enough that they're moving away from this town and as far away as possible from her stepfather.

Years later moving to California with Ava is exactly the fresh start Rylee is so desperately looking forward to.

When Ava first told her to believe, have fun, always have faith, and most importantly believe in love, Rylee never thought it would happen.

And men, well they just mess with your head, that is until she met Matt Morgan, the hot tattooed guy whose bad boy image screams trouble. She never expected to have a connection with him that ran deeper than friendship. She never planned to fall for him but she also never expected him to have issues of his own.....

THE PROMISE SYNOPSIS

How far would you go to help your best friend?

Do you remember when you were young, and made pinky promises on future plans with your best friend about living together, dating movie stars, being famous and double weddings?

Ava and Rylee had the same plans. With the home life Rylee had, Ava knew that all of those dreams of fun and freedom would always be just that. Dreams. Until one night, when they were young, Rylee asked Ava to pinky promise that they would move away as soon as they were old enough and done with college.

Building new lives in California seems to be working well for them, but as we all know, the past always has a way of coming back around- this time in the form of an ex-boyfriend, and some new found information that could rock the girls friendship.

When Rylee meets Matt, a man who is everything a girl could dream of, but isn't letting herself get close, Ava's advice to her is to have fun, faith, and trust that not all men mess with your head- but when Ava gets a second chance at love, can she learn to take her own advice when it comes to her own heart? 

This book is intended for age 17+ due to sexual content, violence and strong language.

Attention: Important! Please Read!

I have been trying my best to keep up with my ARCs. However, this month will not be the month I catch up or can even guarantee that I will get one read, much less all the ones still on my TBR list. I am in my last couple of weeks of my bachelors degree. I realize I made a commitment to read/review/promote these books. And I will, just will not be until next month. My education does, and will always, come first. Before I could usually get a book or two read every week. However, this final class I am in is grueling and demanding.

I have been trying to keep up with the emails and this blog. But, its just not possible right now. I will be back on June 1st (my class ends on 5/26). This class marks the end of this step in my journey to becoming a psychologist. I will not be going back to school until September.

I have not been signing up for ARCs lately UNLESS I am on that author's street team or I have already read/reviewed previous books of the series.

I hope that all followers and authors understand the spot I am in. I will see you all on June 1st (more frequently) and will be reading all the ARCs I currently have on my TBR list.

Synopsis

This isn’t a story about a bad boy and a girl from the right side of the tracks. This is the story of a man and a woman discovering love is blind to how you grew up, who your friends are, and where you live. Love sees only the heart and soul of whom it belongs to. Someone once said that the best way to predict the future is to invent it. As a boy, Jayson Santiago made a vow to leave behind the projects where he grew up. He planned to conquer the world and find a woman who could not only hold it down, but also hold him up. Now he’s the reigning king of hip-hop, and while he has the professional success he always wanted, he’s missing the personal success he craves. Victoria Watson is the daughter of an oil tycoon who never wanted for anything. Circumstances have forced her out of her protective bubble and into the real world, where she struggles to make ends meet while finding a way to get back the only important thing in her life. Will they be able to make Jayson’s prophecy come true? Or will they be pushed past their breaking point? It isn’t easy to keep focused on the heart and soul of the one you love when you’re always being tested. Then again, the best things in life are always worth fighting for...  

 

Excerpt

**Disclaimer: This content is unedited and subject to change** Copyright © Jessica Ingro
  I felt the bed shift as Jay moved and my body went rock solid. I wasn’t ready to deal with the morning-after fallout. His lips grazed my shoulder and I fought the immediate shiver that followed. His lips began descending down over my back and I panicked. “We can’t do this,” I said with more prissiness in my voice than I was aiming for. He stilled his motions and his body came up over mine. His bare chest felt good against my back. Skin on skin was definitely my favorite way to be with him. “Why not,” he said softly in my ear. His hand shifted my hair so that he could kiss me on the sensitive spot behind my ear. Then I felt his tongue lightly touch me there and I knew that if I didn’t put a stop to this soon, that we’d make the same mistake again. “Because there was no heat between us.” I felt him laugh against my neck. What the hell did he find so funny? “What?” I snapped. “No heat? Baby, were you there last night? We might as well have started the place on fire there was so much heat.” “How drunk were you?” I asked skeptically. “I could ask you the same thing. Did you not come all over my cock? Cause it sure as hell felt like you did.” “Well of course I did. It’s rather easy to give me an orgasm. So there. My point is, one minute we were kissing and the next we were coming. It was over before I knew it began.” His body shook again as he laughed in my ear. His tongue traced a path along the outer shell once he finally stopped laughing. I couldn’t hide the shiver that delivered to my body. “Last night we were drunk, T. The sexual tension between us had been building since we first met. That’s why it was over before we knew it began. If it wasn’t hot, then neither of us would have gotten off so quickly. Though, must say I’m pleased to know you can come easy, baby. Now I guess it looks like I’m going to have to show you some more heat so this time you don’t forget.”

I love how just as I was thinking about a character, blam, the character appeared and had their own closure. The conclusion of this story was amazing. It was exactly what I expected; dirty, delicious, amazing, emotional, frantic, cosmic, the stars aligned with a perfect ending. - Novel Grounds    

Gorgeous Chaos is such a wild ride and great ending to this series that had me hooked from the beginning. I went in with such apprehension and nervousness. ...
