More Than Water
by
Renee Ericson

Genre: New Adult, Romance, Contemporary

Cover Designer: RE Creatives

Release Date: June 22, 2015

 ~ Synopsis ~

It doesn’t feel right. It doesn’t feel wrong. It just...feels.

EJ Cunning, an art history major, dates musicians. Foster Blake, a chemical engineering major, can’t sing a tune. They’re not each other’s type. They’re coworkers.

Then, one night leads to sex—sex between friends—which leads to an agreement. It all seems so simple—but nothing ever is.

Many layers build a person’s facade.

Look into the depths for what’s hidden within.

It’s more than water. It’s a story—a living and breathing substance beyond the reflective surface.

~ Review ~
I am a huge fan of Renee Ericson's work....why because it's different, it's carefully crafted, engaging and stays with you long after the read.  She may not turn out a book every few months but when she does...look out!  
Who knew Science could be soooo sexy!

When a job at in the library spurs the beginning of a friendship and a night of drinking spurs unknown chemistry what do you get....an AMAZING read full of fun, love and and a deeper understanding of what makes us all tick.

EJ and Foster see themselves as opposites...but we all know that opposites attract.

An art major trying to find her dream while meeting family expectations.
  A Chemical Engineering major trying to fill his time to forget.

But neither is looking for a relationship....friends....friends with benefits.

But when the lines of communication get blurred by feelings and unspoken truths are revealed, can Evelyn and Foster survive the current trying to pull them apart?

LOVED LOVED LOVED the easy flirtation between EJ and Foster.  That they were just comfortable being...no expectation or pretense.  The witty banter and off the cuff innuendos had me smiling and routing for them throughout the book.

Like I said Renee does her research.....she presents you with visual props that you can take with you even after you have read the last word.  The vivid descriptions brings the book to life right on your kindle.

Do yourself a favor and #1click this book.  Fall in love with EJ and Foster.

Don't allow yourself to be contained.  Find the one that makes you "More Than Water".

Here are just a few upcoming releases that I am dying to get my hands on.  Check them out and add them to your tbr if they peak your interest.  Maybe you’ll discover a new author or maybe see one of your favorites.

Waiting for the One by L.A. Fiore

Expected Release Date: April 28, 2015
Montlake Romance

~ Synopsis ~

Saffron Mills has lived all of her almost thirty years in Harrington, Maine—a small town where fishing is plenty, but available men are far too few. Yet it’s not just her dating dry spell that draws her to recent arrival Logan MacGowan. Tall, dark, and handsome, with emerald-green eyes and an impossibly hot body, Logan is a gorgeous enigma whose silence she takes for indifference…until one unforgettable chance meeting, when pent-up attraction ignites into the most intense encounter of her life.

In this quiet, quirky town, no one knows that Logan’s alter ego is famous sculptor and tabloid darling David Cambre. In New York, he had all the wrong kind of attention, but in Harrington, he’s found peace, privacy…and Saffron. She’s witty, forthright, and so much sexier and stronger than she knows. But how do you protect the love you’ve been waiting for when your own lifestyle could be destined to rip it apart?

Under the Influence by L.B. Simmons

Expected Release Date: May 11, 2015 

~ Synopsis ~

Dalton,

I loved you once. A love I thought irrevocable. A love I mistakenly believed could transcend both time and circumstance. Under the influence of my dimwitted, naïve, traitorous heart, I became intoxicated with what I now know was simply a figment of my self-indulgent imagination. So drunk on the feeling, I couldn’t see what was right in front of my face. So foolishly enamored, I blindly followed my heart into the depths of an emotion that would ravage me.

Years later, I know now what I wish I knew then. I am stronger. Smarter. Tougher. I will not allow myself to be broken again.

I loved you.

I raged for you.

I wept for you.

And now, I’m letting you go.


Author’s Note: Under the Influence is the journey of two childhood friends that spans the course of five pivotal years in their lives. It is a story about their discovery of true friendship as it blossoms into first love, their experience of crucial sacrifice and ultimate betrayal, and their endurance of agonizing heartbreak on the way to finding lasting redemption.

Tyler Burnham has been living his life with one rule in mind…never fall in love.

~ Excerpt ~

I gasp as our tongues massage together, deeply. Our mouths move faster, and the passion surges. Palming his backside, I draw him closer, his hard-on pressing on my abdomen. Brent advances toward me until I’m flush with the cool tiles covered in droplets of water. His hands find mine and lift them above my head, threading our fingers together, as he continues to assail my mouth with his. Instinctually, my hips tilt upward—seeking him, wanting him, ready for him—while our slippery bodies slide in unison.

Releasing one hand, Brent trails his digits down the front of my body. He plunges his fingers between my legs and into me. His thumb skillfully circles one of the most sensitive parts of my body, causing my breath to catch. Endless slow moans erupt from the center of my voice over and over while the water showers us in a steady lullaby.

“You like that?” Brent purrs against my mouth. “When I touch you like this?” He circles his thumb faster to accentuate his point.

“Yes,” I stutter as he continues to torment me with his touch. “I love it.”

“Tell me again,” he demands.

“I fucking love it.”

He kisses me harder, more forceful, in a similar rhythm to his hand. Letting go of our joined grip above my head, he kneads my breast, consuming more of me. I hang on to his shoulders for dear life as the euphoric sensation builds with every movement across the raw nerves on my body. Brent pinches my nipple between his thumb and forefinger. I clamp down hard and let go, releasing guttural moans across his lips. Pulsing around his fingers, I lose my ability to hold my own weight.

My breaths slow, and I open my eyes. I find his dilated, full of lust and hungry in so many ways.

~ Review ~
This is the final installment in the These Days series and what an amazing end to Brent and Ruby's story.  This book was truly a book about second chances and taking that leap of faith regardless of the outside forces to make yourself whole again. 

I loved this story.  It was real.  I could feel that pain of both Ruby and Brent and the loss that their separation brought to them.  I finished reading the story on the train on the way home from an author event and was left crying in my seat. 

Raw, honest, relatable......all of the feelings that I found this book to be.  The heart wants what the heart wants and even though the journey to get there may be filled with twists and turns along the way....each steps brings you one step closer to your destination.

If you have not had the opportunity to read this series I suggest that you head on over to Amazon, Barnes & Noble or any other retailer and get to one clicking.  Ruby and Brent's story will captivate you and regardless of your age make you "feel"!  Lucky for you the whole series is out now so you won't have to wait to see how their story unfolds.  Looking forward to whatever Renee has coming next for us.

~ About the Author ~ 

Renee loves to wear of hoodies, is fluent in Yoda speak, and likes to make videos with Lego figures. She is a long time insomniac, but doesn't have the energy to start an underground Fight Club so she settles for writing stories about the characters who plague her mind. She grew up in the Midwest and currently resides in the Boston area, but sounds nothing like Ben Affleck or Matt Damon.
