Blurb
Sex changes everything.
And love can turn into an enemy…
Mitch Abrams, the bassist for the popular rock band Generation Rejects, has been in love with Gracie Cook for years. But Gracie, a complicated girl with a lot of baggage, was too blind to see how she felt about the man who had always stood by her.
Until one night of passion brought them closer than they had ever been before.
Feeling off balance and out of control, Gracie does the only thing a girl with self-destructive tendencies can do: end things with Mitch before they can really begin.
So Mitch moves on. With his band, his friends, and a new girlfriend.
Yet he can’t seem to forget about the girl who threw his heart away.
Gracie, who is still struggling to build a life after crashing to the bottom, finds it hard to forget about her one night with Mitch. And even as she tries to convince herself it was only sex, her heart knows differently.
But life is full of chances and desperate moments. And when Mitch and Gracie are thrown back into each other’s lives, will they seize at the opportunity to do things right?
Or will the rock star and the less than ordinary girl crash and burn?

Review
Desperate
To forget
To pretend there’s no longer heartache
To have someone who’s safe and constant
Desperate
To dispel the demons
To reinvent herself and become a better version
To no longer feel guilty or ashamed
Chances
To be redeemed
To fight for what is wanted
To let go of the pain and look forward instead of back
These are the desperate chances that Gracie Cook and Mitch Abrams cling to a year after one night of sex destroyed their friendship and turned them into strangers. But even after all that time, the regret and anger still controls them, forcing them to react instead of listen with the only conclusion being to remember what they once had and acknowledge that it will never be that way again.
Boy did Gracie and Mitch frustrate me throughout most of their story! By allowing regret and betrayal to consume them, they never fought for each other…they never tried to make one another understand what was at stake by walking away. Both of them are to blame for the outcome of that one night and the circumstances they now find themselves in because neither was willing to see the big picture, to understand the issues that drove Gracie to make a decision that tore Mitch away from her, and regardless of how blatantly obvious it is that Mitch is with Sophie for the wrong reasons and Gracie is now ready to give herself fully to Mitch and try again, neither will step up and fight for what they want, which led to even more lashing out and miscommunication.
Mitch and Gracie
Gracie and Mitch
That’s how it’s supposed to be – not Mitch on one side and Gracie on the other, forcing their friends to feel the awkwardness of the situation, but sometimes people give up too easily….sometimes people overreact before really thinking about what they’re doing and then any chance they had was gone and all they have is what could have been.
A Meredith Walters illustrates the ill effects of lost chances and the reality of desperate acts; she proves that settling and taking the safe route is never the best option when it’s not what someone wants or needs. Regardless of the mistakes that Gracie and Mitch made, the time they spent apart allowed Gracie to reinvent herself – to become a person who could prevent herself from self-destructing and with a clear mind, understand her truly feelings for Mitch and work to be the woman Mitch has always seen her as, even after all the time apart.

4 Poison Apples
Excerpt
She moaned deep and low in the back of her throat. I lifted her leg and hitched it over my hip. She was just the right angle to go deep. I slid inside of her again. Even though I had just come, I was already hard for her again. She was wet, so fucking wet. There was no resistance as I thrust into her.
“Mitch,” she whispered, her voice raw, her eyes needy. I covered her mouth with mine as I buried myself to the hilt inside of her perfect, wet warmth.
She repeated my name over and over as I began to move my hips. She rose up to meet each push. It was a litany. A prayer. We came together.
Together.
Always together.
“Hello. Earth to Mitch,” Gracie called out, wiggling her fingers in front of my face.
Damn. I had a hard on. This was the problem with looking at her. Blue balls and mortification.
“Sorry, my mind’s somewhere else.” I blinked a few times and tried to think of dead kittens and naked grandmas. Anything to get rid of the straining bulge in my pants.
