Boxed Romance Bargains & Limitless Publishing Presents: Defending Jagger by Amanda Mackey; #BookBlitz, #OutNow




DEFENDING JAGGER 
by Amanda Mackey
Series:  Search & Seek #1
Release Date:  July 26, 2016
Publisher:  Limitless Publishing
Tagline:  Some lies are meant to be uncovered...

~ SYNOPSIS ~ 

Jagger Reed has a secret that could destroy lives…

And one life that could be destroyed is his disabled brother’s. Jagger is in jail for a crime he didn't commit, and believes it’s a small price to pay to protect his family.

Rosalind McAllister is the newest creative writing teacher at Arizona State Prison…

Rose is determined to prove herself to her criminal students and not let them break her—like they did the last teacher. But when she meets Jagger Reed, she immediately knows the line between student and teacher could be easily blurred. Tall, intimidating, and way too handsome to be incarcerated, she vows to keep him at a distance.

A creative writing assignment turns into the discovery of Jagger’s innocence…

When Rose reads Jagger’s creative writing piece, she’s both astounded and impressed. His written words call to her, providing a window into his private world. But as the assignment continues, she discovers facts about Jagger’s conviction that change everything.

Determined to piece together clues that leap out from the pages, she finds much more than an articulate prisoner.

How can she save a man who doesn't want to be saved? And can she stop her heart from getting involved while…

Defending Jagger?

Snippet: 

Beautiful. Was that even a word meant to describe a man? A criminal? Ever since he’d confidently strolled into my classroom, I’d been searching for the right adjective. Catching indiscreet glances now that he was writing, painted a picture. Tall enough to be intimidating. Broad enough across the shoulders to provide protection. An intriguing face with both hard and soft lines. Clearly defined lips that seemed way too supple for their own good. An imperfect nose with a hint of a bump on the bridge that began where two of the most startling eyes I’d ever seen, sat. 
They were neither blue nor green but somewhere in between, blended perfectly to create a unique masterpiece. Small black irises lent themselves to an abundance of arresting color that would take any artist great skill to replicate, should they care to paint his portrait.
Edgy and dangerous had no place in my world. And yet…the very masculine, gorgeous package I couldn’t keep my eyes off had certainly gained my attention. The words, ‘save him’ niggled at the edge of my psyche. While I wanted to save everyone, he stood out from the crowd. A low hum of desire flared up at the junction of my thighs, causing me to clench my legs. There was no way I was going to show my vulnerability and especially not my arousal. That would set off the whole classroom.

HEA Book Tours & Book Junky Tours Presents: Your Heart to Keep by Amanda Mackey; #Book Tour & #Review


YOUR HEART TO KEEP 
Author: Amanda Mackey 
This is a stand alone novel
Genre: Romance
Rating:  5 Stars
Told in the First Person.

Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from HEA Book Tours, Book Junky Tours, and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

- SYNOPSIS - 
What would you do if the heart you loved ended up in a stranger? 

For bad boy Jax, that's exactly what happens. His lover, Chloe has died in the car accident they were both involved in. Grieving for his lost love, Jax soon discovers that she was an organ donor and her heart, the very one he vowed to love, always, has been given to a stranger. 

Holly Jenkins has a medical condition that requires a new heart. Having been on the organ registry for thirteen months, she finally gets the call she's been waiting for. 

After the surgery she begins to crave things she never has before and has the inherent need to connect with Jax and the family of Chloe. 

What she doesn't expect is the strong pull towards a guy who doesn't want a bar of her and can't come to terms with the fact that Holly now has his girlfriend's heart. 

It isn't until he literally feels the pulse of his dead girlfriends, beating heart that things change...

My Thoughts:

Holly Jenkins is a young woman with lots of challenges.  Jaxon Reynolds is a man in a lot of pain.  His pain gives her new hope.  This story shows both the sadness and happiness that comes with organ donation.  It’s a great inspiration to those on the fence whether or not to sign up.  It gives the reader another perspective that you don’t think about.

Jaxon had me laughing at one point, even though at times this book took on a very serious theme.  He gives an interesting spin on why men wear beards.  But this book can also bring tears to your eyes so make sure to keep tissue handy.  The author has a way of getting across to her readers how real the hurt and pain these characters feel is.

This is a story that I sat back and just enjoyed the story for what it was.  It had a very important message but she wrote it in such a way that it makes you wonder how much of a personal knowledge she may have on the subject.  But she didn’t stop there.  Holly had another physical challenge that she had to overcome.  I applaud her for going the extra mile.  It all felt so real.  This is a book that I can see myself reading again and also recommending to others.  Our author has made me a fan and I can’t wait to read more.
