by Abby McCarthy
Release Date: May 20th 2014

Synopsis:

“My name is Maura McCafferty. I take men who love me and I destroy them. If there was a scarlet letter I could wear to keep the men at bay, it would be a W. I would wear it proudly, to let them know I am a wrecker. If you love me, I will wreck you.”

Raised within the Devil’s Crusader’s, Maura has been exposed to many of life’s uglies and sheltered from any real relationships. She has all but given up on the idea of love.

Until she meets Corbin Marx, a sexy beast of a Marine who refuses to back down from any challenge. He is the type of man Maura has craved, the type who might just be strong enough…

1) Maura and Corbin

I have to pick mine right?? I love that Maura is coming into her own but is still a strong female. Corbin also has a huge heart but is a badass Marine with a dirty mouth. They are super sexy together. 

2) Brooke and Remy - Real

Remington Riptide Tate’s first kiss with Brooke was one of the best first kisses. Totally hot. 

3) Shura and Tatianna from the Bronze Horseman

Well, no explanation necessary if you have read it. If you haven’t I promise, pinky swear, that it is one journey you will never forget. 

4) Jude and Lucy - Crush, Crash, Clash

I might be a sucker for a ballerina and a football player, but these two have everything, awesome heat with a fierce female. 

5) David and Ara from The Dark Secret Series

My favorite paranormal read. Oh the sacrifices that were made between the two of them and are still being made. My heart aches when I think of everything they have gone through.

I am a reader and a lover of words. I am a blogger turned author releasing my first novel in May 2014. I am a mother of three, a wife and a dog person. I have always wrote, sometimes poetry, sometimes just to vent about failed relationships, however in parenthood I have found my voice to help keep my sanity. Words have flowed from me, to review and with the support of amazing friends in the Indie community I have decided to pursue my dream of writing! I love to write and read romance, because isn't that something we all yearn for? Whether it be flowers and hand holding or just the right tug on your hair. Isn't that what life is about? The human connection?

Wreck You

I smack his hand away again. “I said don’t fucking touch me.” My voice is louder. I’m trying to keep it steady, even though there is a slight quiver at the end.

“Maura, you're scaring me. What’s going on? Talk to me.”

I want to cry and scream at him, and tell him how he has betrayed me, but I'm not going to let him get any emotion from me. I swallow back the tears that are threatening to fall. I will not let him see me cry. I stand tall and square my shoulders.

“Don’t touch me again, or I will scream so loud every soldier with a hero complex in there will come running.”

“Maura, whatever it is I can explain. Just talk to me. Please.” Corbin is pleading but keeping his distance. He looks pained and scared. Oh, he is good. His acting abilities have worked on me so far, but I’m not going to fall for any more.

“Please, Maura.”

“I'm leaving. Whatever this was between us is over. The club will keep me safe.” I say in the most flat, neutral voice I can muster even though inside it’s tearing me in two. His betrayal is breaking me.

“Maura, no! Don’t leave me. Let me explain. I can’t lose you.”

“I’m already gone,” I turn from Corbin and start to walk in the opposite direction. He begins to follow me and I had hoped he wouldn’t.

Read my review for Break You

Read my review for Control You

Hi Jennifer! We are really happy to have you in our blogoversary event. I love your books, specially the Coldcreek novels and it’s an honor to have you in my site to celebrate my first blog-anniversary.

A dash of romance, with a hint of heartbreak. 

Wreck You is Lauren’s story. If you’ve read Break You or Control You then you know Lauren as fun and flirty person. She’s really outspoken and adventurous. 

Ian Mason is her love interest in the novel. He’s a good guy. There’s nothing bad boy about him. I truly wanted to just write about a decent, stand-up guy for once.

As for the story, this is one about overcoming life’s many mishaps and hardships which often make us feel completely wrecked. It’s not all heartbreak and turmoil though, there was a lot more comedy added into this one! 

I don’t write while listening to music. I used to, once upon a time, but when both of my children became old enough to attend school I learned quickly how much I valued silence. I do have some songs that I’ll listen to on repeat while I’m cleaning my house, because they spur inspiration. I’ll have a stack of Post-it Notes available and jot clips of dialogue down or ideas.

Sometimes though, there will be a character who has a theme song. Hurt by Sevendust was one I listened to like crazy while writng Control You. It was the theme song to Cameron Green’s life. 

Blaire. I was always the studious bookworm. I often worry too much, too.

I think this is one of the best things about this new genre, the boundaries are blurred so heavily on all sides that it’s hard to push them into something deemed as “too much”. There are no standard rules yet etched into stone. It’s still all a matter of the author and reader’s opinion.

It was something I decided on beforehand. There are two sides to every story, and I felt why not tell them at once. In 2012 I released The Unloved, which was written in duel POV’s. The process for writing that novel was wonderful, and I wanted to have a similar experience when writing this series as well. Also, I enjoy writing from the male POV. A lot. 

I know asking an author to choose a favorite character, is like asking a parent to choose between their children, but if you had to choose between Jason, Cameron, and Ian who would be your pick for a love interest. 

Cameron. Hands down. There was just something about him right from the start I couldn’t get enough of. He was cocky, outspoken, and arrogant, but it was the soft center that pulled me to him.

Out of all the guy characters I’ve ever had the pleasure of writing, Cameron is my favorite. His introduction to Paige in Control You was the very first snip of dialogue from him that popped into my head. From that moment on, I knew he would be freaking hilarious and sexy!

Cameron Green - Zac Efron. I don’t need to say another word!

Paige Jacobs - Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl. She was mean on the show, but it’s her look that reminds me of Paige.

Blaire Hayes – Alexis Bledel. She’s so sweet looking.

Jason Bryant – Matt Lanter. Those eyes!

Lauren Myers – Hayden Panettiere. She’s got the cool vibe and sexy voice like Lauren.

Ian Mason – Bradley Cooper. The hair makes him the perfect Ian.

After Wreck You’s release June 3 there will be (as of this moment) one more novel in the Coldcreek Series. I haven’t talked much about it yet, but yesterday I did mention on my author Facebook page I was editing it. I posted a picture with Eva’s name below the chapter heading. So for all you Eva fans from Control You, she’s getting her own book!

Steph Campbell. Whether she’s writing solo or with someone, her books always amaze me. John Green. Anne Rice. Jessica Sorenson. Colleen Hoover. Tracey Garvis Graves.

Cameron Green ;)

The Hunger Games.

On The Island by Tracey Garvis Graves. One of my favorite novels ever!

I’ve always wrote, whether it was in the pages of a journal or simply funny poems in my head. Writing is a part of who I am. It always has been. As for deciding to publish, that was a dream I’d had for myself since I was a small child. I’d always enjoyed reading others stories, and thought it would be awesome to publish a novel of my own one day. 

I got rejected from agents, but I then I learned about self-publishing and decided to give it a try. I haven’t looked back. May 15, 2011 Shattered Soul was released into the world, and now, nearly three years later, I’ve released ten novels, two novellas, and one short story. Wreck You will be number eleven! Whatever it was that nudged me in this direction I’m grateful for.

Jennifer Snyder lives in North Carolina were she spends most of her time writing New Adult and Young Adult Fiction, reading, and struggling to stay on top of housework. She is a tea lover with an obsession for Post-it notes and smooth writing pens. Jennifer lives with her husband and two children, who endure listening to songs that spur inspiration on repeat and tolerate her love for all paranormal, teenage-targeted TV shows.
