Review & Giveaway – Finding My Forever by Heidi McLaughlin

Finding My Forever (#3) – Released Dec 2013

 

Everywhere I look, my friends are settling down – marriage, children, white picket fences; but not me. Marriage isn’t in the cards for me. I’m a ladies man.

A rock star.

I was born and raised in the industry.

I love everything about my life, especially the attention from the women that my status brings me.

Women find me. I don’t chase. I know what they want and they know I’ll deliver.

But after one look, one touch, one night…

Now I’m the one doing the chasing.

I need to find a way to show her that I’m serious, that I can change.

I need to find a way to show her that I can love her fully, and only her.

I need to find a way to show her that she’s my forever.

 

BFF K’s Review of Finding My Forever

rating_4_80

Jimmy is a rockstar playboy. He’s practically rockstar royalty and has the issues you would expect to go along with that. But, as Jimmy starts to unpack his baggage and bear his soul, you realize that he is so much more than the labels that everyone (including himself) has placed on him.

Then Jimmy meets Jenna and she’s everything he wants but doesn’t think he deserves to have; until a few unexpected circumstances bring them together. But, once they’re together, what will it take for them to stay together?

Finding My Forever is a terrific Rockstar Romance. It’s full of great characters, touching stories, a little bit of steam, witty dialogue and lots and lots of romance! This is a great continuation of the Beaumont Series!

I was never supposed to be a rock star. I had my life all planned out for me. Play football in college. Go to the NFL. Marry my high school sweetheart and live happily ever after.

I broke both our hearts that day when I told her I was leaving. I was young. I made the right decision for me, but the wrong decision for us. I’ve poured my soul into my music, but I’ve never forgotten her. Her smell, her smile.

And now I’m going back.

After ten years.

I hope I can explain that after all this time.

I still want her to be my forever girl.

BFF K’s Review of My Unexpected Forever

rating_4.5

My Unexpected Forever is a rare case where I like the 2nd book in a series even better than the first! Katelyn and Harrison are just…..so wonderful.

These are two fantastic independent characters that are each fully developed on their own even as they are brought together. Katelyn’s grief and loss is heartbreaking. It’s impossible not to put yourself in her position and think about her loss and struggles in a very personal way. She is attracted to Harrison, though she struggles with her loyalty to her late husband. And Harrison. Harrison is about as close to perfect as a hero can get. He’s patient, kind, sweet, caring, and without a doubt one of the the most understanding and accepting heroes I’ve had the pleasure of reading. You should read this book for Harrison alone!

My Unexpected Forever is the fantastic continuation of the Beaumont Series and a terrific story in its own right!

BFF K’s Review of Forever My Girl

rating_4_80

One of the things I love about book signings is that it exposes me to new authors that I might not otherwise read. Heidi McLaughlin was on the list for the Mile High Author Event, so I purchased Forever My Girl, Beaumont Series #1, on audio. And I was hooked!

Forever My Girl is a fantastic second chance romance with a little sports twist and a whole-lot-a-hot-rocker! The book opens with a death that changes EVERYTHING for all of the characters in the book. That death and how each of the characters deal with it brings a tear-jerker aspect of the story. How the death impacts each of the characters and the secrets that are revealed is exciting to uncover.

At the heart of this story is the love between Liam and Josie. After all the years and all of the heartache, can Josie forgive Liam and find a happily ever after?

BONUS, Forever My Girl will soon be a Major Motion Picture, so I’ve been stalking Heidi McLaughlin’s social media and website. I can’t wait to see these characters and this story unfold on the screen!

STRIPPED BARE
Vegas Billionaire #1
Heidi McLaughlin
Releasing March 28th, 2017
Loveswept

 

They don’t call it the Strip for nothing. . .  
 
In this sinfully sexy Las Vegas romance from bestselling author Heidi McLaughlin, a man who has it all reunites with a woman who takes it all off. 
 
Living in Sin City, Finn McCormick is no stranger to one-night stands, but the last
person he expects to find losing big on the casino floor is a former high school fling. Even though Macey Webster’s clearly down on her luck, she’s still a knockout, and she’s dressed like a stripper—because she is one. Drunk off an unfamiliar cocktail of lust, pity, and compassion, Finn offers to pay Macey’s debts if she cuddles up to him around town . . . and does whatever he wants between the sheets. 
 
Macey came to Vegas for one reason only: money. She’s got a young daughter to support, and the tips really are bigger in Vegas. But when she blows her earnings on
blackjack, her guardian angel is the rich boy who once stole her heart and never called her back. Although Macey would love to turn the tables on Finn, she can’t afford to refuse his proposition—and soon she’s enjoying herself much more than she cares to admit. Macey’s used to baring her flesh, but baring her soul will take far more courage.
