Review of Out From Under by Selene Chardou and Giveaway!



Blurb
"I have always been strong, independent and wanted a life that belonged to me. It's the very reason why I chose to attend Stanford because it is away from the small-town life that seems more Twin Peaks than charming. Secrets are a dangerous commodity and Pine Bluff has them in spades. So do my parents, and the dirtiest secret of all is my brother, Trey. Sergeant at Arms for the Demon's Bastards, a criminal, a felon, and perhaps the catalyst for the tragedy that destroyed my life just days before I was supposed to leave for college.

"Now I am on the run because my life is in danger and I could be next. I don't want to live my whole life looking over my shoulder and I don't want to live my life shrouded in despair. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E922XPU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00E922XPU&linkCode=as2&tag=yohameatfrbo-20Anxiety has me in a death grip, unable to let go. I pop Xanax to get through the day and were it not for my famous cousin, I would probably be dead already.

"My name is Trista Lennon, and I am tired of being afraid."

Linx Carter never thought he could help anyone when he could barely help himself. He is hanging on by a thread after a tough, six-month Gods of Rock Tour with his band, Winter's Regret, and Scarlet Fever. He has a greedy ex-wife, two sons and all he wants is to put the pieces of his life back together.

Linx knows there is something special about Trista from the moment they meet. She's wounded, in desperate need of a friend yet feminine, feisty and no one's charity case. She is the strongest woman he has ever known.

Through their friendship, they will find the strength to heal themselves and love one another but a feud between two gangs is brewing. Trista is caught in the crossfire, and by proxy, so is Linx. What they discover might not only cost them the love they have for one another but their lives too.

Due to mature subject matter, explicit language and adult situations, this novel is recommended for those over the age of 17.

Review
I loved this book.  At first I was a little confused, cuz it starts out with two different people in different countries, with completely different people...but once I saw a common link, it made sense how they were going to get together.  I was a little disappointed by the "insta-love".  They started out as friends, but then it just seemed like they were together way too fast.  The love scenes were hot, don't get me wrong about that, just seemed to me that they went too far, too fast.  When you read it, you'll get what I mean.  Overall, it was a great read, just a few things that kept it from being a 5.  To tell you more details, I think it would spoil the story when you read it.  This author has another book to this series coming out, I believe it may actually be out already, and she has another series that takes on another band mentioned in this book.  I would really like to read those as well.
