Every girl has had a broken heart.
Every girl knows love hurts.
Every girl has a story.

This is mine


My name is Maggie May and I met him under a haze of purple lights. As clich
é as it sounds he was tall, dark, and handsome as hell, and I had fireworks in my eyesliterally.

It was New Year
s Eve and beneath the magic of all that glitters and shines, I fell for him and his wicked ways. The way he moved, the way he touched me, the way he brought me to orgasm over and over.

You should know that I don’t believe in love. Fairytales and happily-ever-afters are never anything I’ve dreamed of
until him.

Something changed the moment our eyes met. It wasn
t insta-lust or insta-love, it was simply him and me, and the dance floor at our feet.

The problem is our story ended three days after it started.
But now he’s back.
And he says he’s sorry.

Can I believe him?
Do I want to believe him?

He calls me his bedwrecker
but what if he wrecks me?




"I look at you and see the rest of my life in your eyes." - Unknown


Just to refresh your memory, we already met Maggie! She is Makayla's best friend in No Pants Required! And Keen is Cam's best friend. And the halfbrother of Maggie's roommate Brooklyn!
BUT - you do not need to have read No Pants - you will totally understand everything that's happening here! BUT of course you should read it! ☺

Maggie and her Laguna Beach friends Makalya, Cam & Brooklyn decided to spend New Year's in New York City!
That's where she's introduced to Keen. Cam's best buddie and Brooklyn's halfbrother.
And the hottest guy she's ever seen.
Immediate attraction - insta-lust - and maybe even more than that.
But she's living in Cali and he's living here in NYC.
But the hours they spend together that night and the amazing time they have between the sheets and out, let her hope for more. Much more.



Keen promises to come see her in two weeks!!!
But .... he doesn't.

But then he does show up - kind of as her new boss.....
What happened to him? Was it even his fault?
Will she forgive him?
Will she even listen to him explain??
 
WHAT WiLL HAPPEN TO MAGGIE & KEEN????
WiLL THERE BE A HEA FOR THEM IN CALIFORNIA OR iN NYC?

I'm not telling you that of course...

Every time a new Kim Karr book arrives on my kindle, I'm totally excited.
You never know where the story will take you, you just know that it will most likely be amazing!

And Keen & Maggie May ... soo cute!
We have this amazing insta-attraction that neither of them can and wants to fight.
And then we have an amazingly sexy time...but then....

Keen has some huge problems at work to get through and he's not dealing with it in a good way. He just can't call Maggie back. He's too busy wallowing in his misery.
But that's stopping once his buddy and brother drag him back to California!
And now poor Maggie has to work with the guy she hates so much. Ok, she kinda love-lusts him, but she really hates him for not contacting her for weeeeks!

Let the fun times begin! ☺

Of course we all know that it won't take Keen long to convince her to give him another chance.



But she will definitely not fall for him - and he's not falling for her either.
But they kind of are, they just don't notice it.... Idiots. ☺☺☺

I really enjoyed the story.
Now it kind of makes sense what I've complained a bit about in the last book. All the people we were introduced to in No Pants. Now it's their time to tell the story, and we'll get to hear Brooklyn's story next! ☺

I loved Keen and Maggie.
Keen is not the perfect billionaire we so often get.
He's a sad, broken, slightly gambling addicted former broker. But with the help of his friend and brother he can now start his life over. And with a bit of luck he can also get the girl of his dreams!

Great story!
Funny, adorable, and very sexy!!
Of course it's not all sunny-happy-happy-sexy. Both have some baggage. But the reader has a great time watching them fight for their Happy End!

It might have even been a tad too drama-free - I personally like that, I HATE unnecessary drama, but some readers might be a bit bored... It was a great little romance. Nothing mega-dramatic and suspensy is happening. But I did shed some tears here and there. It's really not as bad as I just said - really not. I loved it - I just missed a tiny little bit of excitement! ....

BEDWRECKER was a very sexy & adorable love story about two people who were SO not looking for their Happily Ever After, but now that they found it, they have to fight for it!!! Run to your nearest amazon to find out if and how Maggie & Keen will get their HEA!

I love the sight of a new Kim Karr book on my kindle in the morning!

I am not going to lie, it took me a while to remember who these characters were -which has nothing to do with the book, but due to the fact that I read so many books!  Once I was in there though, it all come flooding back, and I remembered how I wanted Maggie and Brooklyn to have a thing.
Well, Maggie is in the picture but it is Brooklyn's brother Keen who is her leading man.
I adored this pair, I loved that it is not an insta-love with them (thank goodness, I am soooo not a fan!).  From a promising start to radio silence, I could feel Maggie's hurt, her anger, her despondency.

I liked that Keen wasn't our usual millionaire with the perfect life. He is flawed, his life is a mess, but through it all his heart is still with Maggie - even when he effs things up there was still care.

But what woman with a pulse could resist Keen when he puts everything into setting things right.  I liked that Maggie didn't immediately forgive and fall back into his bed.  She made him fight for her - no matter how much she did/didn't want him to!

But you will have to read for yourself if you want to find out if he succeeds!

I loved that we go more of Makayla and Cam from No Pants Required, and there was something with Maggie and Brooklyn that had me giggling.  I adore the banter between all the friends.

Bedwrecker is a sweet and sexy and fun romance about 2 adorable people who were not looking for love, but it slapped them in the face anyway.

Now I am really looking forward to Brooklyn's story!

✪ Lucas (Preston Brothers #1) ✪ Jay McLean ✪ Release Blitz ✪

available-now

Title: Lucas – A Preston Brothers Novel

Author: Jay McLean

Release Day: November 1, 2016 

In a sprint, every millisecond counts.

When you're waiting for love, those milliseconds can feel like eons.

High school senior Lucas Preston has it all: star of the track team, a scholarship waiting for him, an apartment to himself and a revolving door of girlfriends. He also has an older sister, five younger brothers and a father who relies on him to make sure those brothers don't kill each other.

His saving grace? Lois "Laney" Sanders, a girl he started to fall in like with when he was just eleven.

A girl who became his best friend, his confidant, his courage.

It took only sixteen clicks and eight seconds for Lucas to realize that his like for Laney had turned into love.

Eight life-changing seconds.

It's also the exact length of time it took to lose her.

Jay McLean has done it again with this first in the Preston Brother serie


We met Lucas Preston in More Than series – he is Drunk Lucy’s brother.  Now we are getting his whole story… and it is so much more.


Ms McLean is one of those authors who creates a world where you just have to give up whatever you are doing and dive into the deep end of her stories.  Once you start one of her stories, if you are like me you are up till all hours of the morning, completely engrossed in the story.



Lucas and Lois’ story begins when they are 11 years old and is told in dual POV and in past and present tense.



Lucas is the eldest of the 5 Preston boys, so he has always had a fair share of familial responsibility thrust upon him at a young age.  When Lois, or Laney as she is nicknamed, comes into his life, his whole family welcomes her into the fold with open arms.


Their story from that day onwards is sweet, it is tender, it is beautiful, and it is heartbreaking.



Word to the wise – do not try to sneak a chapter or two in when you are working, as you will have to explain the blotchy face and red eyes (I blamed mine on hayfever/allergies!!)



I love a friends to lovers story. The change from childhood to adulthood was not easy on this pair’s relationship, and whilst they are both adorable and endearing, at times I was frustrated with one, the other or both of them as they made their way into the big bad world.



From the first word to the last, I was completely engaged with the characters in Lucas, and at the end I was left wanting more.  So much more.



I can’t wait to see what Ms McLean brings us next.
