IT’S NOT OVER

Blog Tour Hosted by: Naughty and Nice Book Blog

“If I let go, will you catch me?”

He had wanted her to help him win his ex-girlfriend back. She had wanted to teach him a few lessons on how to treat a woman. Neither one had planned for the unexpected.

I couldn’t stand by and watch. It hit too close to home. I had to run fast and far to get away and forget him. He weaseled his way into my life, making me question rules I lived by and turned my orderly life upside down. I’m falling apart and coming undone. I don’t do that. I’m Madison Stuart. I live life by my rules. I won’t be derailed by a man. I won’t…I can’t.

She’s gone. I’m desperate and going insane. I’ll do whatever it takes to find her. I don’t know when it happened, but I won’t let her go, not like this. What has she done to me? I’m Rick Marin for crying out loud. I don’t chase women, but she’s not just a woman. She’s Maddy–my Maddy–and I need her.

Follow Rick and Madison’s story, The Do Over’s most notorious couple, as they learn that It’s Not Over.

Book One ~ The Do Over

Life doesn’t look like it’s supposed to for Dani Ruiz, a hopeless romantic. After a painful and sudden break-up with Rick Marin, Dani hides away from reality, retreating to a world of fiction where she prefers book boyfriends over the hassles of a relationship.

Almost two years later, Dani’s friends are tired of watching her in a holding pattern, so they stage an intervention, forcing her back into the real world of dating.

Unexpectedly, Dani meets Liam Lucas, a down-to-earth firefighter. He might be the person to show her she’s still worth something. Dani’s hesitant to trust her heart with another man, but their instant and electric chemistry is something she can’t deny.

As Dani starts to believe that she’s found her real-life book boyfriend, Rick decides that he’ll go to any lengths to get her back. Seeing Rick as a changed man makes Dani question everything.

Can Dani trust her patched-up heart with Liam?
Or has Rick transformed into the man she’s always wanted?

Written from various points of views, The Do Over is a story of second chances and new beginnings.

Read my review HERE

In a tender voice, he said, “Maddy, you’ve got to be one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. Tonight though, you’re also breathtaking.”

“Thank you.” I accepted his compliment while draping the linen napkin across my lap, and I smiled to myself.

“I think we’re making progress.” He winked. “Normally, you’d insult me when I said something nice to you.”

“True.” I shrugged and said offhandedly, “You’ve annoyed the shit out of me today. I think I deserve having you kiss my ass.”

“You know, I’m the best ass-kisser there is.” He ran his fingers along my back. “Why stop with the ass when you’ve got an amazing body that requires the same level of care and attention?”

“Is this your best?” I gave him a side-glance. “I’m counting on the wow factor. I want it to be so good that I actually believe you.”

He shifted in his seat and cocked his head. “I don’t know why you ever doubt me.”

“For starters, you’re a liar and a manipulator.”

“Minor technicality,” he said in a serious tone.

I laughed. “Let’s add comedian as well.”

His eyes widened, and I held back a giggle.

“You really believe that, don’t you?” I asked.

“I’ve never hidden that from you. In fact, you’re the only person I’ve ever been completely honest with. You accept me for who I am, kick me in the ass on a constant basis, and call me out on my bullshit.” He reached for his wine and took a sip. “Let me put it to you this way. You disappeared on me, and I pulled every single trick I had to find you. Think about that. When have I ever had to work this hard to get a woman to talk to me? Never.”

I seriously never thought I would say this…. BUT I love Rick!!!  I despised him in The Do Over and thought there was no way my feelings would be swayed in this book.  BUT they were.  I love him!!!  Then there is Madison, I didn’t really care for her in The Do Over but I felt sorry for her because I knew there was more to her story.  Again, I must say my opinions were changed.  I LOVE Madison too!!  I loved her strong, snarky attitude and I was right, she does have a story!!!  There are quite a few twists and turns in this book and there are new characters you will HATE (um, Alex, seriously despise him). I am making this review short and sweet because I don’t want to ruin anything and I feel like if I right anything else my big mouth might get the best of me. All in all this was a fantastic book, but I will say the ending about KILLED me.  I totally need the next book ASAP.  I absolutely love this series and recommend everyone read it!!!!
