Are you as excited as we are? Don't forget to go add it on Goodreads!

ABOUT UNTIL WE FLY: Ex-Army Ranger, Brand Killien, has always been good. A good friend, a good soldier, a good everything. . The problem is, good hasn’t gotten him anything but a crushed heart. So after licking his wounds, he decides to move on. And moving on doesn’t include being good anymore. Bad sounds so much better. Jaded and detached, Brand is determined to never open himself up to anyone again. It’s not worth the pain. Instead, he becomes closed, hardened, aloof. But then he’s called back home for a family emergency… a family that he is estranged from. A family that he put out of his mind a long time ago for very good reasons…reasons that involve secrets and pain. Reasons he tried hard to forget. But home is where the heart is, and it just might be where Brand finds his again. Why? Because home is where Nora Greene is. A fiery, red-headed spitfire, Nora is a thing from his past. A beautiful, feisty thing. When Brand left, she was away at boarding school. But she’s back now. And she wants Brand, scars and all.

Before We Fall Review and Giveaway

Before We Fall (Beautifully Broken #3) by Courtney Cole

Mature NA Contemporary Romance

ARC provided for honest review

Released December 3, 2013

BEFORE WE FALL Synopsis:

Sometimes, one dark moment is all it takes to turn your world black...

For 24-year old Dominic Kinkaide, that moment took place on the night of his high school graduation. One dark incident changed him forever. He's a hardened actor now, famous in the eyes of the world, but tortured in his own. He doesn't care about much of anything, except for losing himself in the roles that he plays.

23-year old Jacey Vincent doesn't realize how much her father's indifference has affected her. She is proof that sometimes it isn't one specific moment that wrecks a person, but rather it's an absence of moments. She's like a bird with a broken wing-strong yet fragile, as she tries to float through life, finding acceptance in the arms of random guys, one after the other... to fill the void that her father left in her.

Until she meets Dominic.

After jaded Dominic and strong-willed Jacey are thrown together, his secret and her issues create a dark and damaged energy that will soon turn their attraction to each other into an explosive storm.

Even though when the clouds have cleared and the dust has settled, both of them are almost obliterated... they've learned a priceless lesson.

Sometimes, before we fall... we fly.

Globug's Review

Those of you who have read the first two books in this series know how intense these stories begin. You start reading and then you just can't look away. Cole creates characters who are essentially broken and takes you on a journey as they survive and overcome. Fiction has never been so real as the characters deal with adversity that so many of us can identify with.

It's clear Dominic suffers and that it's because of a girl in his past. He hides his pain by distracting himself watching others. Watching them have sex or anything else the public would see as deviant. As a well known movie actor, Dominic has his pick of women. He's use to women always wanting him for his celebrity status. Whatever happened to the girl from his youth has scarred him with toxic feelings of being unworthy and unable to trust women. 

At first Jacey appears to be no different from the rest of the women he's met. One minute she puts Dom in his place and the next minute she's swooning and letting Dom have his way. They are forced to work together doing community service after a run in with the law. Despite Dom's efforts to deny having any redeeming qualities, his actions prove he has a giving heart and Jacey can see it. Desire builds and though Dom is honest from the start about his intentions he wasn't expecting to become dependent on Jacey. He definitely wasn't expecting to feel jealous of a another man wanting Jacey's affection.

You will love Dominic's brothers Sin and Duncan. Dom's brothers, sister and parents have been so supportive but he's never confided in them about the night he lost his first love Emma. The author gives you clues along the way and I had guessed early on what one of his secrets was. But I was crushed for Dom when all the details of his relationship with Emma are revealed. There is a reason he punishes and blames himself for her death. But even Dom doesn't know the full extent of betrayal. Jacey plays a huge role in helping Dominic face his demons. Dom's friends and family come together to help repair and heal broken hearts and relationships.

The most unexpected piece of this story is how the author ties the prologue into the epilogue. It's pure genius and would be cruel of me to ruin the epicness of it by giving you any hints about a connection you won't see coming. Bravo Courtney Cole. I also loved the continued connection with the characters in book two.I can't wait to see what you do next. I would love a book about any of the new supporting characters.

Who's ready!!!

I'm ready to BE THE FIRST TO FALL!!!! We're so excited to be one of the firsts to share an Excerpt from Courtney Cole's sexy new book BEFORE WE FALL.

Summary:

One dark moment was all it took to turn twenty-four-year-old Dominic Kinkaide's world black. On the night of his high school graduation, a single incident changed him forever, and he became a hardened man-famous in the eyes of the world, but tortured inside. Now all he cares about is losing himself in the roles that he plays.

At twenty-three years old, Jacey Vincent doesn't realize how much her father's indifference has affected her. She is proof that sometimes it isn't one specific moment that wrecks a person, but an absence of moments. She tries to find acceptance in the arms of men to fill the void-a plan that has worked just fine for her, until she meets Dominic.  When jaded Dominic and strong-willed Jacey are thrown together, the combination of his secrets and her issues turns their attraction into the perfect storm. It could change their lives for good-if it doesn't tear them both apart…

******************************************************

Excerpt

He laughs, a velvety sound.  “Babe, I could show you a bunch of things you’ve never done.  And I guarantee, you’d like every one of them.”

For some reason, I have no doubt of that.  It’s an exciting thought.

He bends his head and nips at my neck, then soothes the bite with a soft suck.  His lips, so soft and smooth, ease the pain of the bite away.   His nearness is intoxicating and everything about him screams that he is capable of so many things… things that would please me… things that would embarrass me in the light of day.

But still, I don’t move. I stay right with him, my gaze frozen on his. 

Keeping his eyes on mine, he slowly dips his head and plunges his tongue into my mouth, completely plundering it, consuming me yet again.  It’s like he can’t kiss me without devastating all of my senses at once, annihilating my thoughts and causing my blood to throb as it all races toward one destination… the V between my legs. 

Right where I ache for him.  

He’s like a drug….and one taste just isn’t enough. 

I open up my mouth and breathe around his lips, sucking in air, grasping at his back and pulling him closer.  He reaches back and grabs my hands, holding them together at my wrists and pinning them over my head against the plexi-glass gondola cage.  I’m trapped here with him, yet there’s no place I’d rather be.

The energy around us now is primal and raw…and it’s exhilarating too, because we’re out in public.  Every time the gondola swoops along the ground before it begins its ascent upward again, anyone could look in and see what we’re doing.  They could see Dominic pinning me against the wall, and his other hand buried in my crotch, if only they looked closely. 

Honestly, I think he might like that idea.

“What are you doing?” I finally manage to whisper, pulling away just ever so slightly.

His eyes are a little unfocused, his pupils dilated. “What would you like for me to do, Jacey?”

He knows.  Oh, God, he knows.  He knows exactly what I’d like for him to do.

BOOK SYNOPSIS

26-year old Gabriel Vincent is a badass hero. Or he used to be, anyway. As an ex-Army Ranger, Gabe never thought he needed anyone. But after one horrible night in Afghanistan scars him in a way that he can't get past, he needs someone who can help him heal...even if he doesn't realize it.

25-year old Madison Hill doesn't need anybody...or so she thinks. She grew up watching her parents' messed-up abusive relationship and she knows there's no way in hell that she's ever letting that happen to her.

They don't know it in the beginning, but Gabriel and Madison will soon develop a weakness: Each other.

But Gabriel's got a secret, a hidden monster that he's afraid Maddy could never overcome... And Maddy's got issues that she's afraid Gabe will never understand. They quickly realize that they need each other to be whole, but at the same time they know that they've got demons to fight.

And the problem with demons is that they never die quietly.

If You Stay (Beautifully Broken #1) by Courtney Cole {Updated Cover Reveal + Giveaway}

Many of you may already know this but for those that don't Courtney Cole was picked up by Grand Central Publishing (an imprint of Hachette) and they will be Re-Releasing If You Stay with a snazzy new cover and bonus material! Plus If You Stay will be on sale for only .99 Cents for a limited time! SO without further adieu here is the new cover!

24-year old Pax Tate is an asshole. Seriously.  He’s a tattooed, rock-hard bad-boy with a bad attitude to match. But he’s got his reasons. His mother died when Pax was seven, leaving a hole in his heart filled with guilt although he doesn’t understand why. What he does know is that he and his dad are left alone and with more issues than they can count. As Pax grew up, he tried to be the kid his father always wanted; the perfect golden boy, but it didn’t work. His dad couldn’t overcome his grief long enough to notice and Pax couldn’t keep up the impossible perfect façade. So he slipped far, far from it. Now, he uses drugs and women to cope with the ugliness, the black void that he doesn’t want to deal with. If he pretends that the emptiness isn’t there, then it isn’t, right? Wrong. And it’s never more apparent than when he meets Mila. Sweet, beautiful Mila Hill is the fresh air to his hardened frown, the beauty to his ugly heart. He doesn’t know how to not hurt her, but he quickly realizes that he’s got to figure it out because he needs her to breathe. When memories of his mother’s death resurface from where he’s repressed them for so long, Mila is there to catch him when the guilt starts making sense. Mila is the one…the one who can save him from his broken troubled heart; from his issues, from the emptiness. But only if he can stop being an asshole long enough to allow it. He knows that. And he’s working on it. But is that enough to make her stay? *Warning, contains sex and violence*

Synopsis:

24-year old Pax Tate is an asshole.

Seriously.

He’s a tattooed, rock-hard bad-boy with a bad attitude to match.

But he’s got his reasons.

His mother died when Pax was seven, leaving a hole in his heart filled with guilt although he doesn’t understand why. What he does know is that he and his dad are left alone and with more issues than they can count.

As Pax grew up, he tried to be the kid his father always wanted; the perfect golden boy, but it didn’t work. His dad couldn’t overcome his grief long enough to notice and Pax couldn’t keep up the impossible perfect façade.

So he slipped far, far from it.

Now, he uses drugs and women to cope with the ugliness, the black void that he doesn’t want to deal with. If he pretends that the emptiness isn’t there, then it isn’t, right?

Wrong.

And it’s never more apparent than when he meets Mila.

Sweet, beautiful Mila Hill is the fresh air to his hardened frown, the beauty to his ugly heart. He doesn’t know how to not hurt her, but he quickly realizes that he’s got to figure it out because he needs her to breathe.

When memories of his mother’s death resurface from where he’s repressed them for so long, Mila is there to catch him when the guilt starts making sense. Mila is the one…the one who can save him from his broken troubled heart; from his issues, from the emptiness.

But only if he can stop being an asshole long enough to allow it.

He knows that. And he’s working on it.

But is that enough to make her stay?

**Warning -Contains sex and violence**

Beautiful, Raw, Gritty, Emotional and Breath taking are just a few of the words I can find to describe this book. Not only was it amazing but it was heart warming and thought provoking. Pax Tate is a broken young man and exploring what brought him to the state he is in when Mila finds him was heart stopping! Upon first meeting Pax we find him in a compromising situation that involves drugs and a skanky woman. Let's just say if you are squeamish about sexual relations then look away. When Mila Hill first comes across Pax he is mid overdose, passed out in his car. She gives him CPR and somewhat revives him enough until the paramedics get there. When Pax wakes up in the hospital he is greeted by the beautiful green eyes of none other than Mila. They are drawn to each other for reasons they can't explain to themselves and embark on a relationship filled with beautiful moments and crushing revelations. Nothing I say will do this book any justice. It's simply that good, no scratch that this book is to date Courtney Cole's BEST work! From the first page I was mesmerized and drawn into the story of this broken person who sought comfort in the numbness. I could really identify not only with Mila in that I too have dealt with someone who was into drugs but also from Pax' perspective knowing what it's like to want to numb out the harsh shit life throws at us. Pax wasn't like other broken book characters I have read. He was legit messed up due to a painful past memory that will haunt you as the reader and bind your soul to him. That is the only way I can fully express what you will feel towards Pax. Yes he is a total asshole and yes his behavior will make you cringe sometimes but there is something so endearing about him even during the beginning when you think you can't stand him. I saw a lot of myself in Mila's character in how strong she was in helping Pax confront his past and how she gave her all to try and help him heal. She fights for him and doesn't let him push her away and I loved that about her. It would have been so easy for her to just walk away like I would have done especially after she got up close and personal with his stomach contents. There is no way in hell you could PAY me to give someone who is covered in vomit CPR. It just ain't happnin'. You might as well say hey to Jesus for me and give up the ghost. Call me an awful human being if you want to but..

                          (LIKE. A. BOSS.)

I think this book had some of the steamiest love scenes I have read, and I have read some raunchy shit. It wasn't just about the sex though, it was being able to FEEL what the characters felt for each other. It was real and beautiful, and written so well that it makes you crave the kind of intimacy these two people share. Enough to turn the cynical assholes (Yours Truly) into hopeful saps and melt their hearts. I love being able to get inside a character's head and experience first hand what they are going through and with this being written from both Mila and Pax' points of view, it gives you a hands on account of everything from start to finish. There are so many things to love about this book it is hard to sum up in just a few words the magnitude of feeling behind this incredible story. The love, the tragedy and the overall message of Hope being the only lifeline in a dark place will speak volumes to your heart and soul, to that special place that makes you human and makes you crave honesty. One of the best quotes I have ever read in a book has to be This one from Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion.

"It's a shitty world, and shit happens. But we don't have to bathe in shit."

This quote has stuck with me for the last two years after reading that book and I feel like it sums up the the feel of If You Stay. That while our past may be tragic and heart breaking, we don't have to let it continue to define us and drag us down until we are unable to live for tomorrow. Reading this book was one of the best experiences I have had and I can't wait for you to go on this emotional and cleansing journey with Courtney Cole.

"You're lucky that's all I broke. The next time a  woman tells you no, stop whatever the fuck it is that you're doing. Now go home and sleep it off. And don't come near Mila again. If you do, I will break your dick off and feed it to you." Kindle Loc.1030

                      Author Bio:

Courtney Cole is a novelist who would eat mythology for breakfast if she could. She has a degree in Business, but has since discovered that corporate America is not nearly as fun to live in as fictional worlds. She loves chocolate and roller coasters and hates waiting and rude people. Courtney lives in quiet suburbia, close to Lake Michigan, with her real-life Prince Charming, her ornery kids (there is a small chance that they get their orneriness from their mother) and a small domestic zoo.

1. If you stay is very raw and gritty compared to your more YA books even including Ali Cat which is for the adult audience, what made you want to tackle such a subject? 

Someone very close to me struggled with drugs. He wasn't addicted, but if he would have continued down that path, he would have become that way. This story morphed into something else than I had originally planned (I had planned to focus more on Pax's drug use, but then decided to focus more on his underlying issues), but I love the outcome. I love the way it turned out. 

2. Will you continue writing YA books or do you feel more inclined to stick with more mature subject matter? 

I still have an open YA series, The Paradise Diaries. I still have two books (at least) planned for that series. But I do see myself writing more NA or Adult in the future. It's really fun to write sex scenes and not worry about toeing the YA line. 

3. How does the writing process for you work? Do you get random story or character ideas and run with them or do you think things out over time? 

Oh my -- I can get an idea anywhere. Random things pop into my head at any given moment. I usually think of a character first and I will flesh out that character before I decide on the plot. I'm definitely a character-driven writer. The plot comes more slowly- I'll mull it over for awhile and it reveals itself bit by bit as I write. 

4. Would you ever collaborate with another author for a book and if so who would you like to work with? 

Absolutely! M. Leighton and I keep saying we'll write a book together when we get the time. Now getting the time is the challenge..... 

5. If you could re-write any book out on the market today, what book would you choose and what would you add/remove?

Oh drat. This is a hard one. And practically impossible to answer. Oh, I know! I would re-write Twilight and make Bella a stronger character. Plus, if I was the author of Twilight, I'd be a gazillionaire. Now all I need is a time machine. 

6. What are some of your favorite tv shows?

I love The Big Bang Theory, True Blood, Two Broke Girls, The Mentalist....

7. If you could switch places with any of your characters who would it be and why? 

Oh my gosh, you're killing me with these good questions. Okay. Um... I would switch places with Em from my Moonstone Saga. She's immortal and has a bunch of cool goddess powers. 

8. With the tension rising in the middle east and scientists fretting about global warming, do you like Starbucks?

Nice one. I do like Starbucks, but I don't drink there everyday. In fact, I don't even drink there that often unless I'm traveling. Usually, I prefer my own coffee at home, a pot at a time. :) 

9. What are some things we can expect from you in the future with your writing?

I'm working on a companion novel to If You Stay, called If You Leave. It will follow Madison Hill. I'll also be writing the sequel to Of Blood and Bone this year, as well as the sequel to Confessions of an Alli Cat. 

10. What is the main thing you want your readers to take away from one of your stories?

If anyone takes anything from If You Stay, I want it to be that change can happen. You can make yourself healthier and you can overcome anything that you truly want to overcome. And also, true love never fails. It really doesn't. 

Thank you so much for having me here today. You know I love you!
