AMAZON-My Date From Hell

Book Description:

Sophie Bloom’s junior year has been a bit of a train wreck. After the world’s greatest kiss re-awakened Sophie’s true identity as Persephone (Goddess of Spring and Savior of Humanity), she fought her dragon-lady guidance counselor to the death, navigated mean girl Bethany’s bitchy troublemaking, and dealt with the betrayal of her backstabbing ex, Kai (sexy Prince of Darkness). You’d think a girl could catch a break.

Yeah, right.

With Zeus stepping things up, it’s vital that Sophie retrieve Persephone’s memories and discover the location of the ritual to stop Zeus and Hades. So when Aphrodite strikes a deal that can unlock Sophie’s pre-mortal past, what choice does the teen goddess have but to accept?

The mission: stop media mogul Hermes from turning Bethany into a global mega-celebrity. The catch? Aphrodite partners Sophie and Kai to work together … and treat this suicide mission as a date. Which could work out for Sophie’s plan to force Kai to admit his feelings for her–if she doesn’t kill him first.

Add to that the fact that BFF Theo’s love life and other BFF Hannah’s actual life are in Sophie’s hands, and suddenly being a teenager—even a godlike one—seems a bit like … well, hell. Whatever happened to dinner and a movie?

The YA romantic comedy/Greek mythology fireworks continue to fly in My Date From Hell. Love meets comedy with a whole lot of sass in book two of this teen fantasy romance series. Breaking up is easy; dating is deadly.

Favorite Quotes Guest Post:

Cue horror music and the entrance of the dreaded yoga girls. The leader of that “namaste” bowing bitchfest was one Bethany Russo-Hill. For all her practice of enlightenment through bendiness, she ran her cult yoga sessions like a drill sergeant. Girls had been known to come out sobbing because their sun salutation wasn’t worshipful enough. – My Ex From Hell

I spend a lot of time thinking about how to best convey an essential snapshot of a character when they are introduced. And I think that the description of new age zen spun into impressive levels of bullying does a good job encapsulating the essence of Bethany.

Let me be a lesson to you, kids. There is a reason you shouldn’t get all cocky. Because if you do, the universe will come along and kick your ass hard. – My Ex From Hell

One of the fun things about telling a story about gods and goddesses is that they are rock stars in terms of bad behavior and arrogance. Thing is, so are teens. So poor Sophie is doubly blessed (cursed?) with cockiness. Thus meaning she has that much harder to fall. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right?

She bopped out of the river–clad only in some strategically placed seaweed–and rushed me like a twelve-year-old girl reunited with her BFF at summer camp. – My Ex From Hell

I chose this quote because after 5 million and fifty-seven reads of this book, this sentence still makes me laugh. It’s a great visual.

I met his gaze refusing to be cowed into submission. Massaged into submission. Whichever. “You going to help me slay a dragon or not?”
“If I do, does that make me your knight?”
“If only you could be labeled so easily.”
Kai laughed. How come he only sounded that entertained when it was at me, not with me? – My Ex From Hell

I’ve always thought of this trilogy as a romantic comedy first and foremost. So that means antagonistic banter which thinly disguises extreme attraction. Which Sophie and Kai have in spades.

Synopsis

Jayne King lived in a world of players. She’d been groomed by her father to win, taking no prisoners in her quest to reach the top.
But, it was never enough. She wanted out, and just when she finds her escape, she’s pulled back into the underground crime world of Las Vegas. One phone call spins her life out of control, and she once again has to live her life behind a mask of lies.
Her body is for sale, but her heart is off limits.
Flynn Maguire, professional gambler and notorious ladies’ man, always wins. Always. As the heir to the Maguire Grand Hotel and Casino fortune, he’s always had his desires delivered on a silver platter. When he crosses paths with Jayne King, he will stop at nothing to have her.
Nothing has ever stood between him and what he wanted, and there wasn’t an amount of money he wouldn’t pay to own her. He realizes too late, that money can’t buy her heart, and he finds himself in a place he never thought he’d be. Out of luck.

Excerpts

Excerpt 1
“Come in, Jayne. I’ve been looking forward to you all night.”
My body tightened and my eyes darted around the room, trying to locate the voice. There was a click and scrape of a lighter flickering, and the lambent reflection revealed a man lounging in a red suede chair.
I was shocked. Of all people, I never expected to see Flynn Maguire sitting across from me, or soliciting my services.
He was incredibly handsome, more so than the last time I’d seen him. His dark eyes were haunting, like a starless night and just as empty. When he looked at you, it was intimidating, dangerous. That mysterious charm always intrigued me. Then again, I’d always fallen for men like him.

Seductive Secrecy (book #2)

With a shadow cast over the mansion, can Charlie and Cameron overcome the destruction of their pasts and rebuild their future, or will the revelation of painful, shocking secrets pull them back into the darkness?

Seductive Shadows (book #1)

Charlie is a passionate, sensually-inspired art student, desperately seeking an escape from the abusive past that haunts her and a tragic accident that emptied her heart. Scarred and unable to love, her yearning for physical pleasure leads her into a tantalizing, dangerous world of power and seduction. The anonymity of the deal offers security; the money brings financial freedom and the madam is the mother figure she longs for.

But the thrill of the mansion and its arousing dominance quickly fades when she meets renowned-yet-mysterious Cameron Hardy, whose intense baby blue eyes send a nervous flutter through her core. Cameron is sexy, and not in a subtle way. He stimulates Charlie’s art, her intellect and her desires. Just as he begins to break through her emotional boundaries, she discovers a devastating connection between her past and her scandalous work at the mansion, shattering everything she thought to be true.

Provocative, intoxicating and erotic, Seductive Shadows is the unforgettable tale of a young woman’s self-discovery as she learns to forgive, to love and be loved, and to find redemption amidst a remarkable journey that will captivate your mind and stimulate your soul.

This book is for mature audiences. It contains explicit language and sexual content.

Enter the Night Book Description:

In Comes the Night, Alex Robbins, Brooke Saunders and Maryanne Hemlock, three troubled seniors at Streep Academy, learned to escape their pain — escape their very bodies — by casting a dark piece of themselves out through the stained glass window high in the attic of their dorm, Harvell House. 

Casting has been the salvation of each of the girls, but particularly for Maryanne. The wholesome good girl of the trio, Maryanne nevertheless harbors a secret — and a darkness — unrivaled by tattooed scenester Alex or beautiful badass Brooke. Casting provides Maryanne a desperately needed reprieve from her guilt and pain, but it’s become like a drug. And as with any drug, it only masks the real problems … and brings dangers of its own. 

When Maryanne starts dating Bryce Walker, son of the notorious “Heller” hunter Ira Walker, is it first love, or is there a darker, more self-destructive impulse at play? As the superstitious citizens of Mansbridge begin to mutter and scan the night skies for Hellers, can the hunted lie down with the hunter and emerge unscathed?

Excerpt 3 – Enter the Night
SETUP: Brooke calls her mother in New York, yearning for things to be the way they were when it was just her and her mom, before her mother met her new husband. Her mother’s reception is a little chilly, though, since the last time Brooke was home over Christmas, she helped herself to her step-father’s booze.


Brooke snorted. “Come on, mom, I’m not the first kid to have ever raided the liquor cabinet. It’s not like I went out and got myself arrested or anything.”
In the pause that followed, Brooke heard what her mother didn’t say. Not yet.
Finally, Gracie Saunders spoke. “I know, darling, but with that…incident…that happened up there last fall… Well, you really need to keep your nose clean, sweetie.”
Brooke sucked in a breath through her teeth. “That was self-defense, Mother. That lunatic was going to kill us!”
“I know,” her mother rushed to say. “I know you did nothing wrong. But darling, if you and those Canadian girls hadn’t been trying to solve a mystery on your own, you wouldn’t have—”
“Okay!” Brooke unclenched her left hand and looked at the four crescents her nails had left in her palm. “You’re right, Mom. Let’s change the subject. How was Barbados?”
Her mother sighed. “Are you still angry about that? Because Kendall and I have nothing to apologize for. We both work very hard. I don’t think you have any appreciation for how much we—”
Not that talk again. “Mom, look, I gotta go. Talk to you later.”
“Wait!”
Brooke blinked back tears. “What is it, Mom? I have to go.”
“Did you…um…want something? Need something?”
Yeah, Mom. I wanted to talk to you. I wanted you to ask me what’s going on in my life and if I’m okay. I had a shitty day and I needed to hear your voice.
That’s what she wanted. What she needed. She pressed a hand to her temple.
“Yeah, I must be in trouble if I call you.” Her grip tightened on the cell phone. “Send in a crack legal team, right?”
Gracie Saunders sighed again. “Be serious with me, Brooke. Do you need money? Is that it?”
“Yeah, that’s it,” Brooke said, her voice wooden now. “Can you drop another grand in my account?” Might as well extract what she could.
“Okay. I’ll have to juggle some things. You can look for it by, say, Tuesday. Is that soon enough?”
“That’d be great. Okay, gotta go.”
“Brooke? Are you all right? You’re not in trouble, are you?”
Finally, Brooke heard her mother in that last question. The mother she remembered. Concern for her, not for what Herr Kommandant or anyone else thought about her.
“No, I’m fine. Bye, Mom.” She blinked back tears and closed the phone.
A knock sounded on the door. “Are you planning on coming out of there any time this year?”
Brooke recognized the speaker, a surprisingly tough customer for a freshman. “Screw off. I’ll be out when I’m ready.”
The girl stomped off, muttering. Brooke cranked the bathroom window open, lit a cigarette she didn’t want, took one drag off it, then tossed it in the toilet and flushed it. There. Everyone would think she’d come in here to sneak a smoke. Better for her reputation all the way around.
The smart-assed freshman came up the hall as Brooke was making her way back to bed, but Brooke gave no ground. The other girl took one look into her eyes and shrank out of the way.
Smart girl.

“For Always” Coming November 2013…

* Book #1 in the For Always Series *

Malyn Reed meets, and quickly falls in love with, Beau Brogan, who seems to be perfect in every way…

Except for the fact that he died in 1910…

Malyn Reed has been able to see spirits her entire life. Now that she’s almost seventeen, she has learned to differentiate between the living and the dead, making her gift feel less like an evil curse. She ignores the spirits she encounters on a daily basis, which has made living side by side with them slightly easier…until she moves to Dandridge, the second oldest town in Tennessee.

Beau Brogan was a hard working country boy from Dandridge, Tennessee who loved his family and stole the hearts of many southern belles. But all of that came to a tragic halt at the age of nineteen when his life came to an untimely end. For the past hundred years, his spirit has been entombed in a ghostly life of loneliness and misery that he wishes would just end…until the Reeds move in.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Janae has been a writer since she was old enough to hold a pencil. Her genre of choice was poetry and short stories—until now. After falling in love with so many books over the past decade, she decided that she wanted to write a novel of her own and bring life to the characters that haunt her mind. It wasn't until 2012 that she pursued that passion and started on her first YA novel. 115,000 words later, For Always was born.

Having grown up in an historical Dandridge home that was used as slave quarters during the Civil War, she experienced several things that couldn't be explained. Due to these events, she sought out and joined an investigative team called Eyewitness Paranormal. Her interest in ghosts and the unexplained, combined with her love for telling a story, made writing the For Always series inevitable.

Janae was born and raised in East Tennessee, where she currently resides with her husband, two children, and their hairless dog, Slick. In her spare time, she likes to read, play tennis, and spend time with her family on the lake.
