REVIEW: 4 STARS
I was not too sure what to except when I started reading this. I had previously read book by all of the authors and loved them. This really impressed me. I love how they each wrote a book, and how flawlessly it all flowed together. I loved it!
SYNOPSIS:
Today’s premiere
New Adult authors combine their talents to tell four original stories from
inside one house.
When four girls decide to live off campus together as juniors at a college in Michigan, they expect it to be their best year yet. Little do they know, it’s a year that will change the rest of their lives.
BEHIND HER EYES by A.L. Jackson
Unable to live down her ex-boyfriend’s deception, Misha is determined to avoid betrayal. When, the new guy next door, Darryn starts to get under her skin, her defenses start to crumble. But trusting Darryn seems impossible, especially if he’s not sure he can trust himself.
SAVING ME by Molly McAdams
On the outside, Indy is always ready for a party—but inside she’s breaking. Kier makes a weekly routine of saving the girl next door from herself on Saturday nights… but when will she be ready to remember him on Sunday morning?
FOULING OUT by Tiffany King
Working at a sports bar, Courtney has become a pro at sidestepping propositions from arrogant jocks—which makes her a more elusive catch for campus basketball star Dalton than he expected. But when he falls for the saucy waitress, Dalton will have to rethink his game plan to prove he’s not the jerk Courtney expects.
BENEATH YOUR LAYERS by Christina Lee
In order to ace her fashion internship, Chloe must team up with local college dropout and set builder, Blake—much to her chagrin. But after some "hands-on" experience, Chloe will have to ask herself if Blake factors into her carefully laid plans…

EXCERPTS:
Behind Her Eyes by A.L.
Jackson
Now I could feel him, his
eyes all over me, caressing me slowly, up and down.
I let all my insecurities
drift away as I swayed in time to the music, in sync with the throb of the
crowd and the intermittent
lights that glowed against my lids.
A charged moment passed,
before strong hands found my hips and gripped them from behind. For
a beat, I stiffened,
before I again gave in to this sublime release. And again, he felt good. Right.
All this
intense energy that
ricocheted between us wrapped me up in a frenzy of nerves, alight and alive.
The
smell of him took me
whole, all soap and man and sex.
Oh God.
My heart beat frantically,
racing to keep up with my thoughts that were spiraling out of control.
A shimmer of fear
slithered through me, before he pulled my back into the safety of his firm
chest.
And that was what I felt.
Safe.
With him, and I didn’t
know why, and I was searching inside myself for resolve, for the commitment
I’d made to never allow
myself to be so easily played again.
But it was just out of my
reach.
Darryn held me close, our
bodies moving in time, like we shared the same breath, the same space.
I leaned back, my head on
his shoulder as his face found the curve of my neck. Chills sped, spinning my
body into a violent
cataclysm of need. He let his hands roam, palms pressing hard as he ran them
down
the front of my legs,
spanning them wide as he trailed them back up to my hips and over my stomach.
Fingertips dipped into my
ribs as he slid them up the curve of my sides, and he lifted my arms as he
went,
in the same fluid motion
fastening my hands around the back of his neck.
All those butterflies
scattered, a clash of discordant wings that fluttered haphazardly through my
insides, leaving my
stomach in a coiled mess of confusion and need.
Why him? Why now?
Holding me close, he
brushed his mouth over the shell of my ear, his whispered words injected
directly to my manic
heart. “Goddamn, Misha. What are you trying to do to me?”
I suddenly found it
impossible to breathe, because it was him who was slowly undoing all the fibers
of reservation woven
through my weakened spirit.
“Can’t get you off my
mind.” He leaned in closer, his hand sweeping up my stomach. Fingers
brushed between my
breasts, and I released a sharp gasp.
“Been dying to touch you,”
he murmured low.

Molly
McAdams:
Molly grew up in California but now lives in the
oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband and furry four-legged daughters.
When she's not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies
include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which
roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie
quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and
loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm ... or under one
in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really
happening.
Come be my friend!
