BLOG TOUR - WHEN WE MET BY A.L. JACKSON, MOLLY McADAMS, TIFFANY KING AND CHRISTINA LEE
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…

EXCERPT
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.
Review done by Sanne
Wow, wow, wow!!! I absolutely 1000% loved each and every one of the stories in this book...
For me this is the perfect sampler into New Adult romance ~ 5 stars +!!!
***Behind her eyes by A.L. Jackson***
Hunter, Micha's ex-boyfriend is one hell of a SOB!!! After what he did, Micha is too afraid to come back to university but Courtney her bff can persuade her to do so after some convincing. When she comes back she notices a hot new body at the house next door (the one where her ex lived) and she cannot look away and neither can he. That's where we meet Darryn or also refered to as "avenging angel" in the book.
The attraction these two share from the start is scorshing hot and will lead to some really exceptional moments! ;)
I loved their dialogues and just the way how they were around each other. All seems well and after a while Micha decides to open up thinking she found a guy that knows nothing of what happend previously. BUT you didn't think this would go so easy right?! ;)

***Saving me by Molly McAdams***
Such a heartbreaking story, Molly truly has a way to decribe emotions in a way you cannot but feel them too!
Oh Indy, what a rough time she had! Not only did her mother kick her out but when she got back she only caught her boyfriend cheating on her. There is more to it but that you'll have read yourselves cause I don't wanna ruin the surprise now don't I.
After all what went down Indy's coping mechanism was drinking and partying every weekend. And somehow every one of those times she found herself knocking on the same door, her so called "safe place". This is where we meet Kier, the one who takes care of her every weekend, time after time. The sad part is that Indy never remebers that he did so. And let's not forget our quiet Kier has some dark secrets of his own!
Curious how the story continues? Read, read read...
***Fouling out by Tiffany King***
A story about two former best friends finding their way back to each other.
Courtney, a hard working girl paying her way through college and Dalton, the campus's basketball star.
After all this time apart, will they find their way back or is it just too late?
Sad yet so funny at times.. A story about second chances!
***Beneath you layers by Christina Lee***
Great title, describes the story perfectly!
Chloé, fashionista and country club girl vs Blake, college drop out and construction worker.
Seems like an unlikely match but we all know that opposites attract or don't they?
Will they both be able to see underneath each others layers?
Interesting, hot and emotional story..

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!
