Teaser
“What are you doing, Bryden?” My voice came out in an exhausted sounding tone.
He turned back to me and caged me in with his arms once more. His grey-blue eyes were piercing into me and all I could do was slouch back against the elevator wall. “Why do you have such a negative outlook about me, sassy girl? What have I done to make you feel the way you feel about me and what can I do to change that?” Bryden closed his eyes and placed his forehead back against mine. His breath was slightly blowing against my face as he breathed. The faint smell of whiskey and honey lingered in the air. “Let me in…please…just let me in.” His lips were so close to mine and I wanted so badly to kiss him again, but I knew that I couldn’t.
“I can’t.” I whispered.
He opened his eyes and the sadness that I saw almost caused me to cave but the sudden ringing of my cell phone startled me out of the moment. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked at the screen, Brett’s name was flashing. “I’ve got to take this…” as Bryden pushed off the wall and turned away from me. “Hey Brett…” I chimed into the phone. I could see Bryden working his jaw back and forth at the sound of his name which caused my heart to ache. He leaned forward and un-did the stop button to allow the elevator to continue climbing up the floors. Then he pushed floor twelve, it was his way of letting me know that I needed to go back to my own room. I wasn’t listening to what Brett was rambling on about in my ear; instead I was watching Bryden standing there like a sad broken man would. My heart was officially confused.

MY REVIEW
 

4.5 Earth “Shuttering” Stars

This review is from: Shuttered Affections (Cornerstone #1) (Kindle Edition)
 
I will start off by saying this is the fifth attempt at writing this review lol. At first, I was angry with the ending. It just stopped. Ran out of Road. Completely fell off the cliff. So my first rating was a 3. Then, I read my favorite highlighted parts again and thought more about my rating and realized a 3 wasn’t fair, it got a 3.5. As I was about to submit it last night I started questioning myself again.
This story truly did capture me from page one. I know some think with the professor/student story you have been there and done that. But like I said I was hooked from page one.

Julia totally has my attitude and foul mouth lol. She’s running late on her way to class and while waiting for a parking spot, bam Mr. Hottie Tottie pulled in and took it from her. He was cocky, so she could tell her radiated confidence. She didn’t care, she was infuriated. So naturally her middle finger flies out the window with a few choice words my mother would rather I not use. As she finally arrived to class, late of course because of the jerk who took her parking spot, she was completely taken off guard when Mr. S was her new teacher. Instantly there was this chemistry. This pull. This spark. I believe in these first time feelings because I would be lying to say I have never experienced them. She tries her hardest to fight the gravitational pull but it proves to be too much of a challenge. “Such a feeling over a simple touch should not be possible. It was like a million tiny fireflies scalded my insides, leaving me breathless as his fingers grazed just over my ass.” Julia

Their time together starts small. A couple texts that turn into phone calls that morph into lunches. They are so taken with each other I could literally feel their chemistry as I read. Aiden isn’t your typical professor that we have all read about. Yes he’s hot, yes he’s young, yes he’s off limits BUT he has such a soft and beautiful side. He isn’t as domineering as I first thought he would be and that was such a relief. I really don’t want to tell you more about the gem of a book because I feel you should have the right to experience all the emotions I did as you read it. However, I will leave you with a lil something that has me pulling for Julia and Aiden in book 2.

“Thank You, my sweet Aiden. I don’t think I’ve ever been cared for so much and it makes me feel… special, cherished, loved.” Julia

…Skip down a lil…

“You could never be a burden, Angel. And you are all of those things… he trailed off as he gently turned his chair toward me and scooted so we were close, my legs fitting perfectly between his. After he was positioned, still holding both of my hands to his mouth, he continued. “Special, because there is only one person who can capture my heart like you have. Cherished, because I know each day with you is a blessing and I would be a fool not to treat you like the fragile jewel that you are. Loved…” he stopped...
So you see, I just couldn’t give this book a 3.5 because of its ending. The author promptly followed up with book 2 so it isn’t like we have to wait forever. To me, that earned her an extra star. Julia and Aiden was so refreshing to read and I look forward to book 2 from Rene Folsom < 3

About The Author
 
Kaylin McFarren is a rare bird indeed. Not a migratory sort, she prefers to hug the West Coast
and keep family within visiting range. Although she has virtually been around the world, she was born in California, relocated with her family to Washington, and nested with her husband in Oregon. In addition to playing an active role in his business endeavors, she has been involved in all aspects of their three daughters' lives - taxi duties, cheerleading coaching, script rehearsals, and relationship counseling, to name but a few. Now she enjoys spending undisciplined time with her two young grandsons and hopes to have many more.
Although Kaylin wasn't born with a pen in hand like so many of her talented fellow authors, she has been actively involved in both business and personal writing projects for many years. As the director of a fine art gallery, she assisted in furthering the careers of numerous visual artists who under her guidance gained recognition through promotional opportunities and in national publications. Eager to spread her own creative wings, she has since steered her energy toward writing novels. As a result, she has earned more than a dozen literary awards and was a 2008 finalist in the prestigious RWA® Golden Heart contest.
Kaylin is a member of RWA, Rose City Romance Writers, and Willamette Writers. She received her AA in Literature at Highline Community College, which originally sparked her passion for writing. In her free time, she also enjoys giving back to the community through participation and support of various charitable and educational organizations in the Pacific Northwest.

FUN TIDBITS
She is proud of the fact that her great aunt Bessie B. Cordell, an evangelistic missionary during WWII, was instrumental in opening an orphanage in Tientsin, China and also wrote two published novels, Precious Pearl and Blossoms of the Flowery Kingdom, documenting her dangerous, harrowing experiences.
She keeps a glass of wine close by while writing love scenes, Kleenex on her desk while writing heart breakers, and has been known to empty a box of chocolates when she's completely stumped.
A consummate "pantser" and perfectionist, she writes and edits as she goes, and uses photographs of models and actors from tabloid magazines to visualize her characters.
She loves her husband of 36 years dearly. However, if Brad Pitt or Orlando Bloom came knockin', well... their marriage just might be put to the test.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE
Kaylin sat before her computer writing FLAHERTY'S CROSSING as a source of personal therapy after losing her beloved father to colon cancer. You might say she was angry at him, at God, at the world in general. However, after writing this story, she had the opportunity to really look into her soul and consider the fact that so many other sons and daughters have had to deal with similar and even worse situations. Rather than a memoir, her novel evolved into a fictional journey which brought about the resolution she needed to find. She never expected this exercise in writing to go to press, touch lives, or win literary awards. But as a result of her good fortune, she has arranged for proceeds from the sale of this book to go directly to the Providence Medical Foundation's colon cancer research department in her father's name. She's now convinced and proudly shares her belief that good things can grow out of the worst times in our lives if you just take the time to open your heart.

Blurb:
Maxwell Knight was dangerously good-looking, seductively charming, and definitely trouble. He
 
was everything Jeanella Mefferd did NOT need now.
Fresh out of college, life was predictable and comfortable for Jeanella. She had the strength of her

Never imagining she would see him again, Jeanella has no idea what to do when fate steps in and

 thrusts Maxwell Knight into her life, just as things were beginning to change around her. When

 she lands her dream job and travels to New York for Fashion Week, can she focus on her career

Will she ignore all the danger signs and jump straight into his arms; or would she miss out on the

 chance of finding something great?



TEASER
           When he probed with more questions about what I looked for in query letters, I told him I liked romance novels and I basically looked for potential book boyfriends.
           “Book boyfriends?” He chuckled out loud. As I watched, his chest moved to the rhythm of his laugh. “Really?” He took his last bite and chugged his coffee.
           “Yes…really.” I had already finished my plate since I was too nervous to talk.
           “Is that like for people who can’t get one in real life?” He was totally amused by this notion.
           “No…silly,” I giggled. “Readers read books to help them escape from the daily routine of life. Many of these romance books have a swoon-worthy, gorgeous guy with really nice abs and a six pack, who can deliver wild, hot sex.” Just the thought alone made me turn red and I froze when he gave me a heated look. Then, his eyes concentrated on my lips, shifted to my breasts, then back up to my eyes when I said ‘wild, hot sex.’ I just described him and what he could potentially do.
Gravitating toward me, his eyes locked lustfully on mine. His lips were just inches away as they parted to speak and I didn’t know how he got so close to me. “I would like to be your book boyfriend,” he said with the hottest sound that could sing out of his lustrous, lick-able mouth. The puff of his breath on my lips sizzled way down to my sex. He reached out to my face, his thumb sensually sliding, feather light to touch my bottom lip with one long, slow stroke. As I watched his tongue glide over his bottom lip at the same time, I quivered beyond control.
           Completely dumbfounded, I sat there staring at him and in my mind, I had already taken off my clothes for him. Blinking because that was all I could do, I wanted to say yes, but my pride and my head knew better and stopped me.
Suddenly, he broke his gaze and it felt like he had just dumped ice water over my head. “Is that what a book boyfriend would say and do?” he chuckled as he picked up our plates and took them to the kitchen.
What just happened? I was almost certain my face was deep red, because I felt it down to my toes.
