BLURB:
For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction.”
For every choice you make there are rewards,
or there are consequences.
It was my choice to walk away the first time.
And my choice to chase her the second.
But sometimes you don’t get a choice,
and all you get are the consequences.”
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
Unless that someone is Logan Matthews.
Because loving him didn’t give me
the strength to walk away.
It didn’t give me
the courage to fight for him.
And when it was over, all it gave me was a broken heart.

REVIEW:
**Arc was provided in exchange for an honest review**
TRUTH
More Than Her brings out a rollercoaster of emotions – not only for the cast of characters in the story but for the readers as well. The constant push and pull of Logan and his girl is a sweet and tortured journey that has so many highs with just as many lows.
TRUTH
Logan’s childhood was beyond awful; no one should have to endure what he faced. Fortunately, with the help of his friends and his dad, Logan lives his life without regret – at least until he met her – Amanda.
TRUTH
Neither Logan nor Amanda know the deep truths about each other’s pasts or what happened during or after their first few days together a year and a half ago.
VALID
Amanda has every right to put up a wall when it comes to Logan; she’s hurt and scared, and he makes her feel way more than she wants to when it comes to him.
VALID
Anything worth having is worth fighting for, and Logan understands that and fights like hell to be with Amanda in a way that makes him whole. But some fights are bigger than the individuals involved and disasters are always looming on the outskirts, waiting to pounce. Logan and Amanda learn this lesson far too much in More Than Her.
VALID
More Than Her is an incredibly raw read, but it is also filled with fantastic one liners in both the comedic and melt worthy sense. Jay McLean knows how to tell an emotional story so well that it breaks the hearts of the readers and then she slowly puts us back together…only to shatter us again in the end, and despite those feelings, we still continue to read on, hoping against hope that all will be resolved. But true to life, Jay keeps it messy and out of control because at the heart of an amazing read is an author who gets what it takes to keep readers yearning for the story to continue to be told.
LIE
Logan’s story is over….
4.5 poison apples!
EXCERPT:
He gripped my ass tighter. I let out a sound I had no idea I was capable of. I was so fucking turned on. His movements on me were making me so wet I could feel it soaking my panties. His mouth moved from my neck to my ear, “You gotta quit making those sounds, baby.” He kissed the spot behind it. “I’m starting to lost it.”
Then he took my mouth in his, moving into me harder, pinning me to the wall. My leg on the floor moved to wrap around him. I needed him closer to me; I needed more of him.
He started to build a rhythm again. I felt that slow burn building low in my stomach. I didn’t know how the fuck he was doing it. Or what the fuck he was even doing. But I didn’t want it to stop. Ever. “Oh my God, Logan.” I was panting; my head threw back against the wall. He was on my neck. Sucking. Hard. He was going to leave a mark. I wanted him to.
“Matthews! What the fuck are you doing?” A deep voice yelled.
I screamed, dropped my legs, ducked, and hid behind him.
Oh. My. God.
Reality set in.
What the fuck were we doing?
“Fuck.” he spat. His hand went down his pants to adjust himself before turning around.
“What the fuck do you think this is, Matthews?”
“Sorry, Coach”
Oh. My. God.
Kill me now.
“Go home!” I was too embarrassed to look past Logan to see his coaches reaction.
“Yes Sir.” Logan sounded like he was about to laugh.
What the hell?
“I’ll cover for you.” His coach sounded different now, like he was trying to contain his own laughter. “Fuck, I wish I was in college again,” he said, before I heard his footsteps walking away.
I don’t know what emotion was on my face when Logan turned to me, but he laughed.
Fucking laughed.
“This shit’s not funny!” I whispered loudly. ” I almost let you have me. ” I motioned with my finger at our surroundings. “Right here!”
He didn’t respond. Just looked me up and down and licked his lips. His eyes settled on my face, as he brought his hand to cup my cheek.
And then his face was so close to mine; I could feel his breath on my lips. He rubbed his nose against mine. “Wait here,” he said, his voice low, laced with desire. “We’re not even close to being done. I’m going to take you home and I’m going to fucking finish what I started. And when I’m done with you, you won’t even remember what happened just now. All you’ll remember is how I make you feel when you’re screaming my name.”
