Chapter Reveal: Finding You by Kelly Elliott

0

If Grace Johnson knew one thing
at all, it was that all men were dirtbags.


All men … except Noah Bennet.

“I was lost in his eyes. Lost
in his tears. My goal was to pull him out of the darkness … even if it dragged
me in as well.”

If Noah Bennet knew one thing
at all, it was he needed Grace Johnson.
Needed her … desperately.

“My pain was pulling me under …
she was my only saving grace.”

Grace is willing to put
everything on the line to help bring back the man she is hopelessly in love
with. Even if it costs her the future she’s been longing for.

“If finding you means losing a
part of me … I’ll do it.”

Chapter One ~ Grace

I sat in the library as I rolled my neck around and let out
a sigh. My mind had been pre occupied and I couldn’t afford to not be focused.
I’d fallen behind in my classes when Lauren got sick.

Glancing back down at my book, I tried to read the words on
the pages but my mind quickly drifted off to a memory of Noah and me.

***
Sitting back, I let the sun warm my face as Noah rowed the
canoe.

“So are you going to just sit there while I do all the work,
Grace?” Noah asked in a teasing voice.

“Yep,” I said with a smile.

Keeping my eyes closed, I could tell he had turned
directions. Trying not to smile, I asked, “Are you getting tired, Noah? Was
last night to much for you?”

Noah chuckled. It was the first night I’d stayed over at his
apartment he shared with one other guy who also attended A&M. I wasn’t sure
why I was keeping how close Noah and I were getting away from everyone. Maybe
it was my way of keeping this relationship distant from my real world. That or
I didn’t feel like answering Alex, Lauren, and Libby’s constant questions.

Whatever my reasons were, I pushed it from my mind.

“Baby, you could never be to much.”

Opening my eyes, I tilted my head and gave Noah a sexy
smile. As hard as I tried to keep from falling in love with him, I fell deeper
every moment we spent together.

“Is that a challenge?” I asked as I leaned forward, making
sure to squeeze my arms together so my breasts showed just the right amount of
cleavage since I only had a tank top over my swimsuit.

Lifting his eyebrows, Noah glanced over to the shore. When I
looked over my shoulder, there was a small path. Noah paddled us over and
jumped out. Reaching his hand out for mine, I placed it softly in his. The rush
I got just from his touch about caused me to let out a moan. Stepping up onto
the shore, I watched as Noah pulled the canoe up and grabbed my hand.

Leading me down the path, he pushed me against a tree and
smiled at me.

“That is indeed a challenge. Let’s see if you can keep up
with me now, Grace.”

My heart dropped to my stomach as I fought back those three
words.

Lifting me up, Noah pushed his hard dick into me as I
gasped. Desire pulled in my lower stomach and I was ready for anything Noah was
going to give me.

Except for the three little words he was clearly not afraid
to say.

“I love you, Grace.”

My mouth parted open slightly as I whispered back, “I love
you too, Noah.”

***

My phone buzzed on the table, pulling me from my
memory.  Glancing down, I saw it was
Alex.

                        Alex:
Hey. I’m finished with classes today. Want to go grab some food?

                        Me:
Where’s your hubby?

                        Alex:
Sleeping. We both have been trying to get caught up on classes.

Letting out a laugh, I nodded my head at my phone.

                        Me:
I love Lauren, but she screwed this semester up!

                        Alex:
Right? So food or not? I’m starving and my baby wants food.

                        Me:
I’ll meet you at Fuego’s.

                        Alex:
Yes! I was hoping you’d say that. See you there in a few.

Smiling, I stood and gathered up my books. Turning to head
out of the library, I came face to face with Doug Richards.

“Hey, Grace.”

My eyes traveled over his body as I suppressed the moan I
wanted to let out. Damn he was fine as hell and it had been to long since I’d
had sex. My mind had been filled with memories of Noah and I was horny as hell.

Noah.

Pushing all thoughts of Noah away, I smiled as I quickly
gave my lower lip a seductive bite and purred, “Hey, Doug.”

Doug’s eyes lit up. I’d always been friendly with Doug, but
this was the first time I’d ever put a little bit of something more into my
normal Oh hey Doug how’s it going.

Seeing Noah at the hospital with his new wife only proved to
me that I needed to move on. I couldn’t shake the way Noah had looked at me
though. I swear I saw the same look in his eye as I saw the first night he made
love to me. Actually, the first time he ever looked at me I saw the passion.

“Plans for tonight?” Doug asked as he ran his fingers
lightly up and down my arm. My body shook with the idea of being with someone.
I needed a good hard fuck to pull me out of this funk. What would one mindless
one-night stand do?

It would at least ease the throb between my legs. I’d gone
through to many vibrators. I was ready for the real thing.

Licking my lips, I winked. “I believe you’re picking me up
around eight? Taking me to dinner and then a little bit of … dessert afterwards.”

The smile that spread across Doug’s face caused me to smile.
“I like that plan.”

My eyes roomed his body as they landed on his lips.
Hopefully he was a good kisser. He had big shoes to fill.

Reaching into my purse, I took out a pen and grabbed Doug’s
arm as I wrote down my address. “See ya at eight handsome.”

The second I turned to walk away I wanted to spin around and
tell him to forget it. That I forgot I had plans with a friend. Worry my lip, I
continued to walk toward the exit door.

No, Grace. It’s time to move on. What I needed was one
evening of pure fun and Doug was the one who was going to provide it. Noah was
married and I needed to stop feeling sorry for myself. What we had shared was
amazing and I let it spoke me. I pushed away the only man I’d ever truly loved.

It was time to move on.

Tonight I was getting laid.

***

“What do you mean you have a date?” Alex asked with a
stunned look on her face.

I took a bit of my taco and shrugged my shoulders. “You
know, Alex. That thing you do when you’re single and haven’t had normal sex in
I don’t know how long. Even my vibrator wants me out of the house.”

Alex giggled as she quickly looked around. “You’re terrible,
Grace Hope Johnson.”

Shrugging my shoulders, I said, “Hey, you’re getting dick
every night. I wonder if I should get a Brazilian wax?”

Laughing, Alex shook her head. “That was random as hell.”

“I just got to thinking, I think I want my hoo-ha to smooth
for tonight.”

Alex started choking on her taco. “What? Grace, you can’t do
that today and then have sex tonight?”

Pulling my head back in a shocked expression, I asked, “Why
not?”

“Have you ever had anything waxed on your body before?”

Tilting my head, I thought about it. “Nope, I can’t say that
I have.”

Leaning in toward the table, Alex motioned for me to come
closer. “Grace, it hurts like hell to get waxed for the first time. I don’t
think you want your hoo-ha to be tortured before you dive back into the whole sex
thing again. I mean I get the whole, I just want mindless sex thing, but do you
really want to mistreat her like that all in one day?”

About to state my case, I heard someone clear her throat.
Alex and I both turned to see a mom staring at us with her daughter sitting
there with her mouth dropped to the table. Smiling, I said, “I’m not going to
have mindless sex tonight … well actually I am but I always use protection and…
ouch!” I called out as I felt a stabbing pain in my shin from where Alex kicked
me. Turning back to her, I yelled, “What the hell, Alex?”

Alex eyes were widened as she shook her head. “Grace, stop
talking.”

The mother stood and motioned for her daughter to follow as
Alex sat back and moaned, “Great, some mother I’m going to be.”

Letting out a laugh, I shook my head and said, “You’re going
to be a kick ass mother. Just like Ellie. Hey, so we never really got to talk
about how your parents and Will’s parents reacted to the big baby news.”

Alex, shrugged her shoulders. “I think they were all in
shock. My father biggest worry was school. I’m so glad we’re all graduating
this December.”

Taking a bite of my taco, I nodded my head. “Yeah, I’m glad
too.” After swallowing the taco, I worried my bottom lip. I had been trying to
figure out how to ask Alex if she had changed her mind about our plans.

Alex reached across the table and took my hand in her hand.
“The baby doesn’t change anything, Grace. I want to still follow our dream of
opening up Wild Flower. We’ve been dreaming of opening a flower nursery for
years. Nothing is going to change that.”

I instantly felt my body relax. Our whole focus throughout
school had been to open a nursery between Fredericksburg and Mason. The news of
Alex having a baby had scared the piss out of me. Smiling, I said, “I’m not
going to lie, I thought I might be doing this on my own and I was scared as
hell.”

Letting out a chuckle, Alex shook her head. “No way. Will
and I have already talked about it. I fully intend on pursuing our dream,
Grace.” Shrugging her shoulders, she said, “Besides, we will own the place! I
can bring the baby. She learn to dig in the dirt probably before she learns to
walk.”

Sitting up straighter, I let out a gasp. “Oh my gosh! We can
build a little baby nursery besides your office. I mean, I’m sure y’all will
have more kids in the future. I bet my dad or your dad could easily add that
into the design. Move that storage space somewhere else.”

Alex’s eyes lit up as she nodded her head. “Grace, that’s a
great idea! This will be perfect for both of us.”

Narrowing my eyes, I let out a confused chuckle. “How is a
baby room perfect for me?”

Giving me a sly smile, Alex said, “For when you have kids.”

Nearly choking on my tea, I held up my hands. “Whoa! Whoa!
Holy hell woman! Don’t even speak such words. This girl has no plans for kids
in the near future. Fuck, I’m not even having sex and the last time I checked …
you can’t get knocked up from a vibrator.”

Alex looked around as she put her finger up to her lips.
“Why do you have to talk so loud?”

“Why do you have to say such things? My God! There is
already something in the water with you and Libby both getting pregnant. I’m
sure Lauren is probably going to be announcing something in the next few
months. Well …  no thank you. I’m not
having kids any time soon.”

Alex’s eyes looked sad. “Grace, do you not want kids?”

My heart instantly hurt as I plastered on a fake smile.
“Someday I’m sure I’ll want kids. Right now it is the furthest thing from my
mind. All I want right now, Alex, is to move on and have a good time.”

“Grace, I talked to Noah the day Lauren got out of the
hospital. He desperately needs to talk to you.”

Swallowing hard, I fought to hold back my tears. “W-what did
he say?”

Shaking her head, Alex said, “He asked how Lauren was and
then for your number. I gave it to him. He said he needed to talk to you.”

Feeling my entire body start shaking, I quickly stood up.
“Why would you give him my phone number, Alex? He’s married for Christ’s sake!
Besides, it’s been over two weeks since Lauren left the hospital. He must not
be that desperate to talk to me. Damn it, Alex. Why did you give him my
number?”

Alex motioned for me to sit down. “Grace, just give me one
second to explain.”

Grabbing my food and drink, I glared at Alex. “I have to go,
I have to head home and grab a book a forgot and head to class.”

“Grace! Let me finish talking!” Alex called out.

Racing to the door, I pushed it open and quickly dragged in
the fresh air. Glancing at my watch, I sighed. I was going to be late for class
now. Quickly making my way to my car, my phone buzzed. Pulling it out of my
purse, I saw it was Alex.

Alex: I didn’t mean to upset you. It’s just he seemed
desperate. You really need to talk to him, Grace.

Rolling my eyes, I threw my purse and phone onto the
passenger seat and headed back to the house I shared with Alex and Will. Now
that Luke, Libby, Lauren, and Colt had moved out it seemed cold and empty all
the time. Even when they did live there, I spent more time at Noah’s place than
I did at home. Well, at least I did until I freaked out and pushed him away.

Wiping my tears away, I concentrated on thinking about
nothing but my date tonight with Doug. I’ll deal with Alex later. Right now I
needed to push Noah Bennet far from my memory. I needed to move on and this
date tonight was long over due.

~INTERVIEW~

Hi Omoye! Thanks for stopping by on the blog!! Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? :)
Thank you for having me. Well first things first, I never knew I was going to be a
writer. I grew up reading practically any book that I could get my hands on, and
more than the escape that they gave to me, they also gave me the desire to
dream. The exposure that books give you is one of the most priceless gifts that
anyone can get from them , but that is if they’re open enough to receive it. It makes
you believe that the world is your oyster, and that mindset is the beginning to a
fulfilling life without boundaries. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Estate
Management from Covenant university in Nigeria, and currently, I’m undertaking my
postgraduate studies at Lancaster University in England. ‘ The Beginning of
Never’ is a contemporary romance novel but really, my favorites are historical
romances. I’m fascinated by the lifestyle of people from centuries ago. One more
thing, I love Korean dramas. Their stories I find are the ones that are able to capture
my attention more than any others in the world. There is a honesty, and richness to
them that leaves the greatest impact on me. I think they’re absolutely amazing.

Many novels are inspired by a single question.  Was there one that sparked The Beginning of Never?
Yes! I read all sorts of books but my favorite books would always be the ones
that have some romantic element in it. However, I understand that sometimes the
love stories portrayed in these books are not realistic, and are so different from
what we actually see happen in real life. Books all talk about the ‘falling in love
stage’ of any relationship, and while that is wonderful, it is not the whole story. In
fact, in real life, that is the easiest part of the story,and unfortunately for most
people,the best part. So the question I wanted to answer in ‘The Beginning of
Never’ was this: what would happen if two people met and swore that they were never going fall out of love with each other? And what were the actions that they would take to ensure that their love never ran out? At the beginning of the book,I wanted to find the answers to these questions, and so far I’ve gotten some very wonderful answers.

Describe your book in 5-7 words for us.
Unique, Intense, Honest, inspiring, Entertaining, and captivating .

How did you decide your novel’s book cover? Which, by the way, is very gorgeous!!
Thank you. Well the cover designer tried all sorts of themes to best capture the
essence of the novel, but we couldn’t find the perfect one so we decided to go with
something simple but yet different. The Magenta color of the cover is one that I
haven’t really seen on a lot of books so we decided that that would be the best fit
for it . You’ll completely grasp the feel of the image when you read some certain
scenes in the book. ‘No spoilers’. All in all, since we couldn’t complicate the cover, we decided to make it simple but different, just like its story.

How would you introduce your main character to us?
The main character in this book is Lenora Grace Baker and to me, she represents the
essence of teenage turbulence. But one thing she isn’t is insecure, because she’s
been through too much in her life to be. She is unhappy, but her pure-heartedness
and bravery is one that will make her grow on you. This is the girl you’re introduced
to: a careless, and short-tempered girl who believes that the best way to avoid
pain is to avoid people. But as the story progressed, my greatest joy was to see her
transform into a more self-less, brave and happy person. It made me fall completely
in love with her and I’m sure you will too. If I were to compare her to a real life
character, I’d say that the girl that represents Lenora, in both looks and attitude is Lorde. She’s a sixteen year old musician from New Zealand.  

What is the best and hardest parts that you wrote in The Beginning of Never?
The hardest part for me was chapter nineteen,because it captured the essence
of the novel’s message. So I had to write and rewrite it countless times. The best
parts for me were definitely the romantic scenes because of how pure and
unbelievably intense they were. Writing them brought goose pimples all over my skin.

About the Author
I currently live in England. My days are spent in the Project Management field while my nights are spent with books. I'm either reading them or writing the ones that I want to read. My favorite things and in this particular order are books, Korean dramas, ice cream, and people who smile through everything. I consistently tell people that these are the four things they need to be happy but do they believe me?
No! Well I believe me, and you should too.

Preface

I had no real choice. Only one answer was acceptable, yet giving it meant losing everything and anything I cared about. It meant losing Owen, and it meant losing myself.

"Daisy?" Owen looked deep into my eyes.

"I love you." I didn't think, I didn't question. I crushed my lips against his, needing to soak up his taste and feel. He responded immediately, deepening the kiss as he wrapped me up in his arms.

Always and forever. Our promised words swirled through my head. Promised words that couldn't possibly be true. But in that moment it didn't matter. The truth couldn't hurt us. Only time could.

~ REVIEW ~
 5 STARS

Love. Love. Love. Probably my favorite by far. I never expected the twist of Will's life actually which is why it's probably my favorite by far not that the previous installments to this series weren't great. This was just something I adored more.

I was expecting something from "Will" actually but this was about "Matt" which I can admit that I like him more. At the same time I'm wondering if "Will" will have his own story.

It was sweeter and more heartbreaking for me because of their situation. What I love most of all is probably the romance between Anya and Matt. Still, there were times like the previous books that I was kind of frustrated with them because of their own secrets.

Then, there's the miscommunications which is more or less almost always the problem between the hero and heroine but at the end they will always be able to resolve their issues. The issues that makes them depart from one another.

All in all another great read. I'm curious to know whose book is next even there's one (technically two) who's still single.

Release Day: Unforgettable Love (Journey of Love #3) by Kelly Elliott

 Aaron "Dodge" Walker has been given the case that will
prove his worth and secure his place within the family law firm. A place he's
worked hard to avoid.


Sierra Jackson wants to put her past behind her and start living
life.  To do that, she needs a lawyer
that can help make her divorce a reality.

The moment Sierra meets her new lawyer, sparks fly.  Will it be the Dodge she already knows or the
Aaron he feels he has to be that proves unforgettable?




  iBooks    AMAZON



“Sierra, are you free this weekend?” Mr. Walker asked. 
Dodge began choking on his own spit. Good. I hoped he passed out and hit his head on something hard. “Dad, what are you doing?” 
Holding up his hand to quiet Dodge, I glanced over at him and gave him a smirk. “We are running out of time before the trial and I really want to go over some things with Sierra before next week,” Dodge’s father said. 
“No, sir. I’m totally open all weekend. No plans at all,” I said.
Turning back to Mr. Walker, he wore a huge grin. “Perfect. I’ll have my car pick you up at your house tomorrow morning around seven. You’ll be in Port Aransas just in time for lunch.” 
My smiled dropped as I stared at Dodge’s father. Swallowing hard, I whispered, “Excuse me?” 
Placing his hand on my shoulder, Mr. Walker gave me a wink. “Pack casual clothing and maybe one formal gown for dinner on Saturday night at the country club.” 
Wait. What? What the fuck just happened? 
Turning to Dodge, his back was faced toward us as he stared out the window. 
“Wait, um, Mr. Walker what do you mean?” 
Guiding me out the door, Mr. Walker started laughing. “You’re spending the weekend at my beach house, dear. We are having a family get together. It will be perfect for Aaron and me to prepare you for everything that Dr. Jackson’s lawyers are going to try to ask you while you’re on the stand.”
I glanced over my shoulder to see Dodge talking to Kyle. Looking straight ahead, I tried to concentrate on breathing. 
Oh my God. I’m spending the weekend with Dodge and his family. How did this happen? 
Oh Christ. 
I’m screwed.



Tristan Williams thought the path of his life was on the
right journey. He had a successful career, good looks, and a carefree
lifestyle. One conversation changed Tristan’s way of thinking forever as his
father presented him with a bottle, representing his journey and forcing
unwanted thoughts of a lasting relationship to the surface. Running from the
fear of commitment, he pushed away the only woman he ever had feelings for and
turned to the one girl he knew he didn’t love.

Ryn Webster was finally putting her past behind her. Moving
to Texas and concentrating on the success of her own company, she had her life
almost where she wanted it. One thing was missing though…love. She thought she
had found love with Tristan until he casted her aside.

After being hurt by Tristan, Ryn does whatever she can to
push him from her heart, even if it means being with a man she doesn’t love.

Regardless of the path one thinks they are on, the journey
of life can cause unexpected turns, altering the planned course. Will Tristan
and Ryn’s bottle be tossed about, lost in the rocky waves of life? Or will calm
seas prevail to help Tristan and Ryn finally find their journey of
love…together?

Awakens

Summary
from Goodreads:

Paranormal
debut about a high school senior who finds herself in a fight with a secret
society for control of ancient magic.


Julia never believed in magic.

Julia Long is starting her senior year with an extra dose of crazy. The dreams
of cultish, bloody rituals are weird enough, but the victim in her lifelike
dreams is her new classmate, Southern charmer Graham.

Graham admits he was part of the Phoenixes — a centuries old secret society —
but swears he left it all behind. As Julia works with Graham to figure out why
she is dreaming about his past, she's discovering she has other abilities. She
heals Graham’s migraines with a touch, and there’s her superhuman strength that
comes and goes. Julia doesn’t know where her new talents come from, but there’s
no denying that when Graham is near, her powers kick into overdrive.

But the Phoenixes want Graham back. They need his blood to awaken the magic they
seek, and they'll do whatever it takes to get it.

In a mundane world where magic does not exist, Julia is the only
one with a shot at stopping them. Will Julia learn to control her new abilities
in time to stop the Phoenixes from harnessing this powerful magic?
