Give in To Me

The third book in the Heart of Stone series concludes the sensual and emotional story of Tristan and Nina that began in Crash Into Me and continued in Fall Into Me…

Tristan Stone has lived a life other men would kill for. Literally. But all the money, women, and fast cars mean nothing to him since Nina came into his life. Danger lurks around every turn with enemies wearing friendly faces. Whatever it takes, he’ll protect the woman he loves because without her, life isn’t worth living.

Nina Edwards had no idea of the world Tristan would give her. All her dreams have come true, but with the good comes the bad, and this world of his has more than enough of that. For love, though, she’ll face not only Tristan’s demons but anyone who stands in her way of finally finding happiness with the man she loves.

•••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: FALL INTO ME is the second instalment in KM Scott’s contemporary, new adult Heart of Stone series focusing on billionaire Tristan Stone and the woman he loves-Nina Edwards. At the end of Crash Into Me an accident had left Nina without any memories of the previous four years and Tristan was keeping secret the very thing that sent Nina spiraling into the night-the truth about her father’s death.

The premise of Fall Into Me finds Nina struggling to remember the past-even Tristan is a stranger but one to whom she is drawn. Yet, Nina can’t help but feel there is something about their relationship that Tristan keeps close to his heart. As she endeavors to reacquaint herself with the people in her life (both past and present) she will become the target of a much bigger prey-more than one person wants her out of Tristan’s life for good.

KM Scott has done a magnificent job developing Tristan’s personality from a cold, heartless man to someone every woman could love-his need and desire for Nina is palpable but it is tainted with a past mired in drugs, murder, death and revenge. Although Tristan is innocent of the crimes he holds secret the truth about the events and about the who and what of Nina’s father’s death. He is tied too closely to the murder to see that everything is about to fall apart and when it does, Tristan knows that to protect Nina he must do the very thing he promised he would never do-leave.

KM Scott brings together a tale of mystery and suspense wrapped in a love story mired in murder and betrayal. As Nina’s memories begin to return, so too does the knowledge that almost everyone is keeping secrets about the past-from her sister to an ex lover; and the man to whom she has given her heart and soul.

The storyline is told from alternating points of view so the reader is aware at all times that Tristan’s intentions are honest and pure but we are also aware that things did not end up the way he had originally planned. There are people pushing Tristan in another direction and to protect the woman that he loves, he knows he must break her faith in him –again.

FALL INTO ME is a revealing and exciting storyline that delves deeper into the mystery behind Tristan’s connection to Nina and how the two families will be forever chained. As the only surviving heir to the Stone empire, Tristan sets out to uncover the truth about what happened years before and in doing so, sets into motion more betrayal and heartbreak for Nina and himself.

KM Scott has written a story of love and loss; betrayal and revenge; lies and truth. But at the end of the day one woman’s life will hang in the balance as everything and everyone wants a piece of information that she knows nothing about.

Excerpt

****Excerpt Three****

I pushed the hair away from her face and pressed my forehead to hers. “Did you have anything else you wanted to say?” A tiny whimper escaped from her mouth and she closed her eyes. “I think I’ll save that for when we get home.”

“I wasn’t thinking of doing much talking when we get home,” I said quietly in her ear.

We walked out to the car as rain began to fall, and my mind flashed back to that night in Venice. Covering Nina’s hand with mine, I squeezed it and she looked up at me. “The last time you and I were caught in a rainstorm was in Venice.”

She stopped short as the rain began to fall harder. “I’ve been to Venice?” she asked in a stunned voice.

“Yeah. You loved it.”

I tucked her hair behind her ears and caressed her damp cheek. “That was where I told you I loved you for the first time.”

“We fell in love in Venice? That’s so romantic!”

Shaking my head, I smiled down at her. “No, I fell in love with you long before Venice. I just didn’t tell you.”

Crash Into Me (Shaken Dirty #1) by Tracy Wolff-a review

CRASH INTO ME (Shaken Dirty #1) by Tracy Wolff-a review

Crash Into Me

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 14, 2013

Jamison Matthews has lusted after Ryder Montgomery since she was a preteen. But now that Ryder and her brother’s band, Shaken Dirty, has made it huge, she’s just one of many pining for the brooding lead singer. Too bad Ryder still sees her as a little sister. Not that it matters. Her brother would never allow it, and the last thing Jamison wants is to be another notch on a rock star’s bed post-even if it’s Ryder’s.

Ryder doesn’t deserve happiness. After his fame destroyed his last girlfriend, he swore he’d never fall in love again. So when Jamison, the girl he’s been in danger of loving for years, joins the band on the road, he’ll do anything to deny the sparks between them–even after one hot night together. But Jamison is determined to show Ryder that he’s worthy of love–her love–and that she’s all grown up and ready to play.

•••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: CRASH INTO ME is the first storyline in Tracy Wolff’s new contemporary, rock star romance series SHAKEN DIRTY. This is Jamison and Ryder’s story-Jamison is the sister of Ryder’s best friend and fellow bandmate Jared and Ryder is the tattooed, pierced and lead singer for Shaken Dirty. Everyone in the band knows that Jamison is Jared’s little sister and there is a hands-off policy enforced. But when Ryder learns that Jamison is the band’s new chef for the tour, he doesn’t know if a hands-off policy is possible because he has wanted Jamison for a very long time.

The reader is taken on a back-stage tour of the down and dirty life of a rock band: we watch as groupies throw themselves at the band; drinking is an art form; and for one, drugs, will be the ultimate high. And all the while, each member feels the need to protect Jamison from the others as well as herself. But Jamison is twenty three years old and has had a crush on Ryder since she was thirteen and no one was going to prevent her from letting Ryder know exactly how she feels.

The storyline also focuses on the ongoing problems with each of the band members. For one, there is a history of substance abuse and for another the past is filled with a history of guilt and loss. Still one more must face the truth about the reality of his personal life when everything begins to crash down around him. And still another buries years of abuse, behind the music.

The relationship between Ryder and Jamison begins as friends to lovers but in the end, Ryder will push Jamison away believing he is not worthy of love. Their love making is sensual and erotic but there is still the proverbial elephant in the room-something in Ryder’s past will not allow him to forgive and move forward. And Ryder’s guilt knows no boundaries when a scene from present day replays over and over in his head-what if he wasn’t there to save Jamison?

The world building brings together the cast and crew of a number one selling rock band and the fans who will stop at nothing for a piece of the band. The characters are colorful as are their histories and current lifestyle and love lives. And in the end, the band will say goodbye to one of their own and welcome a new addition.

Crash Into Me is a fast paced storyline that doesn’t pull any punches; it looks at the uglier side of life on the road and the inability of some people to stay on the straight and narrow.

If you are a fan of the rock genre storyline CRASH INTO ME is another welcome addition. But the epilogue fast forwards the storyline about one year, so I am hoping that Tracy goes back and writes a story for each of the members or at the very least offers a reflection, memory and flashbacks in her upcoming stories.

Crash Into Me by K.M.Scott-A Review and Interview with the Author

CRASH INTO ME by K.M.Scott-A Review and Interview with the Author

Crash Into Me Banner

Interview

TRC: Hi K.M and welcome to The Reading Café.

We would like to start with some background information. Please introduce yourself to our readers?

Follow KM: Website / Google Plus / Facebook / Goodreads

Gabrielle BissetK.M: My name is K.M. Scott and I’m a contemporary romance author. I’ve been a writer for years and a published author for two under my other pseudonym, Gabrielle Bisset, but Crash Into Me is my first contemporary and my first novel under the K.M. Scott name.

TRC: What was the deciding factor in venturing into another genre of storytelling and novels?

K.M: I’ve read contemporaries for a long time, but for whatever reason, my muse was feeling paranormals, so I pursued that genre. That’s not to say I’m not continuing writing those, but I’ve had a story in my mind for a few years that just hadn’t had the right feeling for me until earlier in 2013. One day, though, it was like lightning struck and I began writing what would eventually become Crash Into Me.

Crash Into MeTRC: CRASH INTO ME is the first installment (August 28 release) of your new series. Would you please tell us something about the premise?

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO /

K.M: The three books in this series will be called the Heart of Stone Trilogy. The trilogy is a contemporary romance based on what some many see as the backbone of many fairy tales: Wealthy prince (in this case, hotel owner) falls for a regular girl in what seems like a fated romance. I threw in a twist to the story, though, which makes it unique.

TRC: Do you consider this particular genre New Adult or Adult fiction?

K.M: I believe it’s Adult, but since the female protagonist is 24 years old, it fits into New Adult also.

TRC: How many books do you have planned for the series? And will Tristan Stone be the focus of the series?

K.M: All three books in the series will be centered around the couple of Tristan Stone and Nina Edwards.

TRC: If you could virtually cast the leading characters in this storyline, which models or actors best represents your ideal image?

K.M: I’ve always pictured Tristan as at least 6’2″, dark brown hair, deep brown eyes, and well-built, so Henry Cavill would be a great match for him (although I think he’s shorter than that and has blue eyes). As for Nina, I can picture Nina Dobrev from The Vampire Diaries as Tristan’s love interest.

TRC: How do you keep the plot unpredictable without sacrificing content and believability?

K.M: I think about what I’d want as a reader. For me, that’s the secret to making sure my plots make sense while entertaining people. Especially when I’m writing contemporary romance, I want to make sure that the plot is believable.

Blood CravingTRC: You also write at Gabrielle Bisset. What upcoming plans do you have for the Sons of Navarus series?

K.M: The Sons of Navarus are at a tough spot in their fight with the Archons. They’ve lost one of their own, and in Blood Craving, the next book in the series, another Son, Sion, will have to help the woman he secretly loves as she works on the Prophecy of Idolas. Kali’s got some demons, though, and when they intersect with Marc Verrater’s new drug he hopes to use to enslave all vampires, she’s going to go through some things and the only one who can save her is Sion, the one Son who is more machine than anything else. There’s also that new baby Noele and Ramiel are raising, and readers can expect great things from that little guy.

TRC: When writing a storyline, do the characters direct the writing or do you direct the characters?

K.M: I tend to be a pretty strong director, but there have been times when the characters seem to take over the story. When that happens, I need to sit back and decide if where they’re going is what’s right for the story.

TRC: Are you a plotter or a ‘panster’?

K.M: I’m a committed plotter. I know the beginning, middle, and end to every book and every series before I begin writing it. That said, things can and do change (see the answer above about unruly characters LOL). However, I always have a very strong idea where things are going. It does make it hard, though, since I know how the story plays out and can’t talk about it until everyone else gets to read the books.

TRC: The mark of a good writer is to pull the reader into the storyline so that they experience the emotions along with the characters. What do you believe a writer must do to make this happen? Where do you believe writers fail in this endeavor?

K.M: They say that if the author cries while writing a scene, the reader will too. I think this is true. It’s easy for readers to tell if the author is putting their emotions into the work. For me, I like to write what I call vignettes, often very small scenes within the story that pack a huge emotional punch. They tend to be what readers remember from the story when they talk to me about the plot. So within the book are these vignettes that resonate with readers. I’ve read stories that don’t pull the reader in and I’ve found it’s usually because of the old telling, not showing idea. Sometimes it’s just that there are too many dialogue tags pulling me out of the action, while at other times it’s just that I don’t feel like I’m there for the action but that I’m being told about it.

TRC: Writer’s Block is a very real phenomenon. How do you handle the pressures and anxiety of writer’s block?

K.M: I’m a firm believer in walking away if it isn’t there. I can’t force it or it won’t work and I’ll just have to rewrite it all anyway. So I walk away and return when I feel right about it. That’s usually within a week or two, but sometimes I have to leave a book for a longer time (I had to leave the 4th book in the Sons series, Blood Prophecy, for months because I was fighting what I knew had to happen.)

TRC: What challenges or difficulties (research, logistics, background) did you encounter writing this particular story?

K.M: I’m a crazy woman when it comes to details. Nothing bothers me more than reading something and knowing the author didn’t take the time to research. After researching the details for Crash Into Me, I can now say I know well what the inside of a Jaguar F series car looks like, precisely how to tie a Windsor knot, and enough about Venice to know I need to get there asap!

TRC: Many authors bounce ideas and information with other authors or friends and family. With whom do you bounce ideas?

K.M: I have an editor and a close friend who listen to my ideas, each for different reasons. My editor is great with helping me flesh out the details, and my friend is just interested in my writing and listens patiently while I babble on about this story and that.

TRC: How do you handle the pressures and anxiety of deadlines while still having time to raise a family?

K.M: It’s a real juggling act. I have a full time job and I home school my son, so any time not dedicated to those two areas is left for eating, sleeping, and writing. My house is usually very messy since taking care of the house usually loses out to one of the other areas. My son is a great kid, though, so he helps a lot.

TRC: On what are you currently working?

K.M: I’m writing the second book in the Heart of Stone Trilogy, Fall Into Me, and I’m working on the 5th book in the Sons series, Blood Craving.

TRC: Would you like to add anything else?

••••••••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: CRASH INTO ME is the first installment in K.M.Scott’s new contemporary New Adult romance series. K.M. Scott is the penname of author Gabrielle Bisset (Sons of Navarus) and CRASH INTO ME is her first foray into the New Adult genre.

CRASH INTO ME focuses on billionaire and reluctant hotel magnate Tristan Stone and Art History graduate Nina Edwards. Following their ‘accidental’ meeting at a gallery showing, Tristan offers Nina a six month contract position as the art procurer for his chain of Richmont Hotels throughout the world. But what began as a business arrangement soon becomes something more. Before the six months are over Nina will transform the quiet, unsmiling recluse billionaire into a man who will break her heart in more ways than one.

The premise follows Tristan and Nina’s building relationship from employer and employee, to friends and lovers. But Nina soon becomes troubled by the small alarm bells that keep going off every time the darker side of Tristan is exposed when Nina steps over an imaginary line where jealousy begins to rear its’ ugly head. The small signs of possession and his need to control start mounting and Nina is unsure just how far the relationship will go before something or someone gets hurt.

The storyline is told from Nina’s POV. We are witness to her thoughts and desires, and there is no doubt that Nina is falling in love but it is Tristan’s ulterior motives that will leave the reader questioning his intent and action. And in the end, the true nature of the beast will be exposed and life for Nina and Tristan will never be the same.

The writing style is simple and the storyline is slow to build, but I never felt that we really got to know our leading couple before they immediately jumped into a relationship where Tristan controlled every aspect of their daily lives. Tristan and Nina both have a history of loss but their connection to one another runs deeper than anyone could have imagined.There is heartbreak and sorrow and you know that Tristan hides a deep, dark secret.

Tristan is an enigma. He is dark, almost cold and his personality never quite shines through on the pages of Crash Into Me. The storyline is character driven and because it is told from Nina’s POV, we never really get into the head of the man who controls the strings.

K.M. takes the reader on a virtual tour from America to Venice and we will discover there is a softer side to our hero Tristan Stone. The building of the sexual relationship is quick to develop as there is a definite mutual attraction between Nina and Tristan- one that will prove to be a heartbreaker for both.

If you are a fan of the Crossfire or FSOG series style then Crash Into Me will be a familiar storyline but one with a twist at the end of book one. I hope we get to see a different side of Tristan-perhaps a storyline perspective from his POV because whatever has been going through his mind, is definitely going to push the storyline forward.
