Cover Reveal: Shatter by Jocelynn Drake and Rinda Elliott


Blurb
Maverick trauma surgeon Ashton “Snow” Frost keeps the world at a distance, relying only on his three closest friends to keep him connected. But when a ghost from their past returns to Cincinnati, Snow stands to lose everyone he loves. Framed for murder and reeling from attacks on his friends, Snow is pushed to his breaking point.
Jude Torres won’t let the doc shatter. The paramedic has been attracted to the doctor since he first laid eyes on him at the hospital, even if the arrogant, solitary man doesn’t fit into any of his plans. One hot, reckless kiss shows that Snow isn’t who he appears to be. And one night together will never be enough. Jude will fight for the doc.
Fight to keep him whole. Fight to keep him safe. Fight to simply keep him.
Unbreakable Bonds.


Another Snippet. Caution! Contains Four-Letter Words:

Footsteps crunched through the gravel sprinkled across the blacktop. He looked up and watched Snow stride toward him. His hair shone in the light of the street lamps, the gray streaks stark, and his long dark coat made him look longer and leaner than the white coat Jude was used to seeing him wear. His arrogant detachment was fully back, a darker cloak that wrapped him in what he probably thought was invisible armor. Jude could see every inch of it. Just as he now knew to look for that hint of uncertainty he’d glimpsed earlier.
He didn’t give a shit about the walls this man slapped up between them. He wanted him in a way that changed everything. He didn’t know why, didn’t understand, but he had every intention of cracking the puzzle.
Snow held up a hand. “Look, Torres—”
“Shut up, general.” Jude took a quick glance around the parking lot, which was thankfully empty now. He grabbed the lapels of Snow’s coat, turned and pressed the man’s back to his car.
“What the fuck?”
            Jude cut him off by pressing his mouth to Snow’s and murmuring against his lips. “I said… shut up.” This time, he was wide awake and knew where he was. That glimpse of uncertainty earlier, that brief hesitancy, had made him see something receptive in Snow—something that brought Jude’s protective caveman instincts to the surface.

Review: Shatter by Erin McCarthy


From the USA Today bestselling author of True, Sweet, and Believe comes a tantalizing New Adult novel about finding love in the most unexpected ways…

Kylie Warner prides herself on being optimistic, but after finding her best friend in bed with her boyfriend and flunking chemistry, her upbeat attitude has taken a dive. Even an impromptu hook-up with her sexy new chemistry tutor only brightens her mood slightly. After all, it’s not like she’ll ever see the tattooed scholar again…

While he’s a whiz at complex equations, Jonathon Kadisch has trouble when it comes to figuring out women. So when Kylie tells him that she’s pregnant after their night of passion, he’s at a complete loss. He’s prepared to be a good father—unlike his own deadbeat dad—but he’s less prepared to fall for the genuine and alluring blonde bearing his child.

With emotions running high, Kylie wonders if Jonathon’s devotion is out of growing love or looming obligation. And when heartbreak threatens to tear them apart, Jonathon will have to fight for the only girl who’s ever made him feel whole…

My Thoughts:

Erin McCarthy has done it again. She has written a book that is so engaging, so engrossing, I forgot I had anything else to do while I read it. All my cares fell away as I got lost in the story of Kylie and Jonathon and I just couldn't get enough of them. They were truly perfect for each other and once they realized that, it was magic. But of course the bulk pf the story is about getting them to the point where they realize that what they have is real and not just a one-off thing. It's a beautiful journey filled with challenges and some hardships and some really unexpected events, but it is so well written, it just pulls you along and you forget you're reading and actually feel like you're part of the story. This is a highly recommended story in my mind. Loved it!
