*BLOG TOUR* "Breaking Alexandria" by K. A. Robinson

Synopsis:

Alexandria’s drug-dealing boyfriend, Joel, isn’t exactly the white knight she’s always dreamed of, but she can’t deny the crazy connection they have. She would do anything for him, including helping him sell drugs in order to fit perfectly into his world.

After catching Alexandria dealing for Joel, instead of turning her into the cops, Alexandria’s mother forces her to move to her grandparents’ farm in West Virginia. Spending the summer in the country, away from Joel, is the last thing Alexandria wants to do. But lucky for her, the sexy farmhand, Landon, who helps out around her grandparents’ place, is a very nice distraction. She tries her best to ignore her attraction to him, especially since she still loves Joel.

When Joel does the unforgivable, Alexandria turns to her new friend, Landon, for comfort, and it ignites an undeniable spark of attraction between them. Soon, she finds herself caught between two very different men, and the struggles within her heart just might end up breaking Alexandria.

Excerpt

“Whatever. Even when you’re tired, you never shut up.”
I stuck my tongue out at him. “Are you trying to tell me that I talk too much?”
“Nah. If you talked too much, I’d just put duct tape over your mouth.”
“At least you’re honest,” I grumbled.

- Landon and Lexi

*BLOG TOUR* "Twisted Ties" by K. A. Robinson

Description:

 

Two years ago, Emma Preston walked away from Jesse Daniels. It is a decision she has regretted ever since. Plagued with the knowledge that Ally’s lies tore them apart, Emma enlists Jesse’s former best friend, Andy, to help her search for him. 

When he left California, Jesse was determined to start over in West Virginia with his mother. Now, the past is determined to catch up with him—first, with the appearance of Ally, and when Emma and Andy come back into his life.

Just when Emma thinks she’s found Jesse, a dark secret and misunderstandings force them apart before they can even reconnect. Jesse is torn between his love for Emma and protecting his childhood friend, Ally. Ally has an agenda of her own, and she’s not about to let Emma get in her way—even if that means getting rid of her…permanently. 

Can Emma and Jesse’s relationship survive all of their twisted ties?

Excerpts:

 

I knew Andy had to work tonight, but I hoped he was at home by now.

There was no way that I could go back to my dorm room and sit alone

while all of this was going through my head. I was hanging on to my sanity

by a thread, and I knew that if I was by myself while dealing with this, I’d

lose it.

I nearly cried in relief when I pulled into his apartment complex

parking lot, and I saw his car sitting there. I didn’t have to be alone. He

would help me. I ran across the lot, and in too much of a hurry to use the

elevator, I sprinted up the stairs to his floor.

Tears were streaming down my cheeks as I beat on his door. I prayed

that he hadn’t fallen asleep yet. I had a key to his apartment, but I hated to

use it this late at night. I didn’t want him to think someone was trying to

break in.

The door opened, and Andy was standing there. He took one look at

me and pulled me into his arms.

“Emma, what’s wrong?” he asked.

I was crying too hard to speak, so I shook my head.

“Who’s that?” an unfamiliar female voice asked.

I looked up when a pretty blonde in a short red dress approached our table.

She gave me a coy smile as she leaned down. “I’m Carrie. Want to dance?” she whispered in my ear.

She had the same hair color and a name that started with a C. It was as close to Chloe as I was going to get tonight, so I nodded. I followed her to the dance floor and pulled her tight against me as she started to move to the music. My eyes closed as I felt her ass rubbing against my dick. It had been so long since I’d even thought about sex, and this girl was doing everything right.

I spun her around until she was facing me, and I pulled her tight against me. I let my hands roam until they were cupping her ass. Reaching between us, she grabbed my dick through my pants and moaned. Yeah, this girl knew exactly what she was doing. I was hard as a rock as she moved her hand up and down.

“Want to get out of here?” she asked.

“Fuck yeah.” I leaned down and kissed her.

She took my hand and led me through the crowd and out a back door. She obviously knew her way around this place. Instead of walking toward the street to hail a taxi, she led me farther down the dark alley. Warning bells might have gone off if everything wasn’t so fuzzy in my head. In the dim lighting, she looked just like Chloe. By the time she pushed me up against the wall, I was convinced that she was Chloe.

She unzipped my pants and pushed them down, before sticking her hand inside. When she started stroking me, I moaned.

“God, Chloe. That feels so good.”

“I’m not Chloe. I’m Carrie,” she said in an irritated voice.

“Mmhmm,” I said.

She went to unbutton my shirt. When I felt her tongue flick against one of my nipples, I nearly came in my pants. It had been so long since we’d been together.

“I love you, Chloe, so much.”

SYNOPSIS

With a former supermodel mother and a rock-and-roll legend father, Emma Preston has the best of everything. Nothing is as perfect as it seems though. After her parents divorce, she’s forced to live with her mother in a private Santa Monica community. Ignoring their parental roles, her mother becomes more focused on climbing the social ladder while her father is off on tour.
Growing up in a trailer park with his mother, Jesse is used to people looking down on him. When his mother begs him to submit an application for a scholarship to one of Santa Monica’s top private schools, he never expects to actually get it. When he does, he is forced to attend school with a bunch of rich kids. He ignores their stares as they judge him for having tattoos and a less than impressive car. As long as he has his surfboard and the guys at the tattoo shop, he knows he can make it through.

When Jesse shows up on the first day of school, Emma can’t help but be intrigued. Her mother would never approve of Emma talking to someone so poor, but she doesn’t care because something about Jesse draws her to him.

Jesse tries to hate Emma, but he discovers that he can’t resist her. Forced to hide their relationship from Emma’s mother and everyone else around them, things start to fall apart. When Jesse’s friend, Ally, decides to interfere, things go from bad to worse.

Can they survive their first love? Or will they be left with nothing more than shattered ties?

*RE-RELEASE* "Torn" by K. A. Robinson!! Plus Interview & Review

NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK!

_____________________________

Hello! Thank you so much for taking your time to give an interview to I’ll Be Reading!

Thank you so much for having me!

So, tell us a little bit about yourself…

Let’s see… I’m 23, I live in West Virginia with my two-year-old and my husband, I’m a country girl at heart, and I’m a bit music obsessed. Okay, I’m a lot music obsessed.

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

I’ve been writing stories since elementary school. I never planned to do it professionally, though. I still don’t consider it a “job.” It’s a hobby that has grown into much more, but I still do it just for fun.  I don’t think I’d be able to write if I felt like it was work.

What inspired you to write Torn?

I’m not sure to be honest. It just popped into my head. I showed it to a few of my friends that were in a book club with me and they pushed me to finish it. I took a chance, expecting nothing, and was shocked speechless. I never dreamed that this could happen to someone like me.

Can you relate to your characters?

I definitely can. I’m not much older than they are.

What’s the hardest part for you while writing?

Staying away from the internet. Dear lord, I have a problem that might require medical treatment.

What’s the biggest compliment you could receive as an author?

I consider every compliment the biggest. They all mean so much to me.

Do you have any quirks that help you write? Music, snacks? What kind?

I must have something to drink, usually Diet Pepsi or coffee, and music. Must. Have. It. I can’t do a thing without those.

What was your favorite book as a child?

Harry Potter. They are still one of my favorite series.

What’s your guilty pleasure?

Starbucks for sure. I can’t live without it.

Any advice for aspiring authors?

Write because you want to write. And always write what feels right. Never change yourself to please others, because no matter what you do you can’t please everyone.

Blurb:

"Chloe hasn't had the best life. With a mother who is gone more often than not, she has had to raise herself. After graduating high school, she leaves to start a new life away at West Virginia University with her best friends Amber and Logan, determined to leave her demons in the past. 

On her first day, she meets a stranger who takes her breath away at first sight. Until she met Drake, no one had ever sparked her interest. Now this tattooed and pierced bad boy is all she can think about, no matter how hard she fights it.

Falling for Drake was never part of her plans, but when it happens, things seem to do anything but fall into place.

Dealing with a tragic past, Drake has never cared about anyone else but himself and his band. But when Chloe takes the empty seat next to him in class, things start to change. Instantly drawn to her, he begins to wonder if one girl can take a cold hearted womanizer and change every part of him?

Long hidden feelings are revealed and friendships tested to the brink."
_____________________________

My Thoughts:

Chloe is excited to start college off with her two best friends, a chance to start a new chapter. She is focused on school, and the absolute last thing on her mind is meeting anyone. That is, until she meets Drake, a pierced and tattooed rocker, and all around player. All of her plans seem to go out the window the second she lays eyes on him.

"..this guy would have worn his hair dyed pink and in pigtails and pulled it off looking hot."

Even with barely acknowledging him when she first sees him, he seems to be all she can think about. After having zero interest in dating or a relationship in so long, she fights it as hard as she can. But when, by chance, she runs into him again, she realizes that she's fighting a completely losing battle in her own head.

"There was no room for Drake or any guy in my plans and I liked it that way, yet he kept shoving in without even realizing it."

Once her and Drake finally talk, they fall into a very easy friendship. But they both don't seem willing to keep it at just a friendship, then again.. they both also aren't willing to try to make it more, initially.

" 'What are we doing Chloe?'
'I don't know, I was hoping you could tell me.' "

When mixed emotions are involved, and a secret comes to light, everything is about to change. Friendships are put to an ultimate test, feelings are masked, and Chloe finds herself in a very awkward spot with everyone she knows.

"No, don't even say anything Chloe. When you talk everything gets so screwed up. I want you, and I know you want me too."

Torn is a roller coaster ride. Chloe and Drake both have pasts that have made them question relationships, and both aren't totally willing to give in to what they really want. The side characters in this book also play a huge part into the story. You will definitely find yourself connecting with everyone involved. It is one of those books that you think you have figured out, but will keep you guessing until the very last page. 

"We're both so screwed up on our own, but together we're a whirlwind. Nothing survives that gets in our path."


Favorite Quote:

"I just wanted to find peace. I walked out there because I wanted to be numb, I didn't want to feel, even just for a little while."
