  Outside the Box FRONT
 
  Aubrey earned her love ‘em and leave ‘em reputation with her serial dating past. A pregnancy scare makes her see the light and change her ways. She gets serious about school and stops dating – until she meets Luka and falls head over heels for him.

Luka doesn’t trust easily after having his heart crushed by the girl next door. When he meets Aubrey, he doesn’t think she’s relationship material because of her past – even though he’s drawn to her.

What happens when the girl who always ran the moment a relationship got serious meets The One? Will Aubrey be able to get Luka to see herOutside the Box he’s put her in?  


“Oomph,” I grunted into a hard chest as warm hands grasped my arms to steady me. I took a deep breath and a woodsy scent that was somehow both spicy and a little bit sweet hit my nose. I didn’t think I’d ever met a guy who smelled this good before.
“You okay?” a deep voice murmured.
“Yes,” I whispered as I looked up into green eyes, my hands resting against his chest.
“Good. Wouldn’t want to start my night off by mowing down defenseless women, now would I?” he asked as I moved away.
I couldn’t help the laugh that bubbled up at that since I’m the one who ran into him. “No, we certainly wouldn’t,” I said as I stepped into the elevator.
I watched his ass, lovingly hugged by his jeans, as he walked away with a couple of guys I hadn’t even noticed. And just like that, my libido jumped back to life. Holy fucking shit.

I absolutely adore reading - always have and always will. My friends growing up used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing. I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream as long as you are willing to work for it. When I told my mom that my new year's resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me "About time!"

-LUCY-
There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured. 
A heart so strong it will never slow. 
There is a promise so sure it can never lie.
He promised me that love forever.
Even when it wasn't enough.

-CAMERON-
Forever. Everlasting. Eternal.
There is no measure of time. 
No sounds of the ticking of a clock. 
Just the rising and falling of the sun.
And our own sense of forever. 

But our forever isn't always.

EXCERPT 


Getting out of my hold, she walks back to the bus. She sticks her head inside and looks around before turning to me. "The day you get your license…" She takes two steps to cover the distance between us. "You pick me up and take me somewhere secluded, and we make out in the back. For hours."
My eyes go huge and I slowly nod. "That can be arranged."
She smiles. "And I'm talking full on making out, Cameron. I mean, I want you shirtless and horizontal." I try not to look down at my shorts; positive I'm sporting a semi. She continues, "And I want to be shirtless and you better be touching boob."
I choke on air.
She giggles, and then crosses her arms over her breasts. "Deal?"
I think I agree, but I can't be sure, because now all I can think about is boob. I place my hands on her waist and gently push her until she's against the bus.
And then I kiss her.
Her hands go to my hair, tugging a little, and bringing me closer to her.
And we kiss.
When she finally loosens her hold, I pull back.
She kisses me once, and then sighs. "You really bought this bus, huh?"
I nod.
"So that you can help me out with my brothers?"
I nod again. "Of course, Luce, you're my girl. It's my job to take care of you."
Her eyes glaze over with tears again.
I wanted to kick myself for making her cry. But before I can say anything, she wraps her arm around my neck and brings me down for another quick kiss. She pulls away and says, "I really like you, Cameron."
I grin. "Yeah?"
"Yeah," she says dreamily.
And then my heart begins to race.
My palms begin to sweat.
And all I can hear is the blood pumping in my ears.
"Good," I respond, and then inhale a huge breath. "Because I'm kind of in love with you, Lucy."
Her eyes bug out. Her jaw drops to the floor. "What?" she breathes out.
I lift my chin and fake a confidence that doesn't exist. "You heard me."
Silence.
It's the longest three seconds of my life.
Then finally, "Cameron, I love you so much."
And then she kisses me.

Five weeks, three days and eight hours later, I touch boob.


ANGIE'S REVIEW
So much more than 5 ★★★★★, eleventy stars and still counting...

With every new story Jay adds to this series, I fall more in love with these characters, how is that even possible? I’ve been waiting for Cam and Lucy’s story since I began More Than This.


After what seems like a lifetime, we finally get to live in Lucy’s world, live in Cam’s world, even if it’s only for a little while, it’s a reading experience that you will never forget. I’ve read all the books in this series, and I knew the back story of Lucy and Cam’s relationship, but I had no clue what kind of heartache I was in for. No. Clue. When you begin More Than Forever, expect exceptional and prepare for pure heartbreak, raw emotion, unconditional, unwavering love, sacrifice, devotion and so much…more.



Lucy is a firecracker; she’s smart, determined, stubborn and incredibly resilient. She curses like a trucker on occasion and has experienced loss no young person should ever have to. Cam is incredibly sweet, compassionate, loving and devoted. Willing to sacrifice for those he loves, he will make you sigh, swoon and fan yourself over, and over again. Whether they realize it or not, early on, they are truly soul mates. Cam and Lucy were destined for each other. Think it sounds cheesy, it’s true. So no, I’m not taking it back! You can’t make me. Their love story is touching, romantic, and EPIC! Your heart will race and your palms will sweat, you feel like you’re in free fall, from start to finish.



Jay McLean has created an entire universe that I have become obsessed with. More Than Forever is flawless, and unforgettable, with characters that come to life on the page, this story is so incredibly compelling you’ll forget life exists outside your reading bubble. I savored every single word; I never wanted it to end. I lingered over this book in my mind for days, I revisited my favorite my passages, chapters, scenes over and over… I just wanted to crawl inside this book and stay there forever. I cannot fully express with words, how much I adore Jay’s words, her characters, she hooked me 3 books ago and I still revel in the magic she creates… every single time, she wrecks me.



If you have not yet experienced this author’s work, the More series, you must. This series calls to a reader on so many different levels; it’s truly indescribable in its awesomeness.



More Than Forever will make you cry, laugh, swoon, cry, sigh, laugh, throw things, stomp you feet, fist pump, curse, yell and then start all over again, then you’ll swoon some more. Go ahead and get Jaying and you can thank me later ;)

The More Series 


More Than This, #1



*Mikayla* 

In one night my fairytale ended. Or it may have begun. This is my story of friendship and love, heartbreak and desire, and the strength to show weakness. 



*Jake* 

One night I met a girl. A sad and broken girl, but one more beautiful than any other. She laughed through her sadness, while I loved through her heartbreak. 



*This is our story of a maybe ever after.* 



He was right. It made no difference whether it was 6 months or 6 years. 

I couldn’t undo what had been done. I couldn’t change the future. 

I couldn’t even predict it. 

It was one night. 

One night when everything changed. 
It was so much more than just the betrayal. 
It was the Tragedy. 
The Deaths. 
The Murders. 
But it was also that feeling. 
The feeling of falling.

More Than Her, #2





For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction." For every choice you make there are rewards, or there are consequences. It was my choice to walk away the first time. And my choice to chase her the second. But sometimes you don't get a choice, and all you get are the consequences.” "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” Unless that someone is Logan Matthews. Because loving him didn't give me the strength to walk away. It didn't give me the courage to fight for him. And when it was over, all it gave me was a broken heart.

More Than Him, #3




"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us." - Marianne Williamson

We live in a world of darkness and shadows,
where monsters hide and aim to ruin.
And they did.
They ruined us and turned our dreams into nightmares.
But now we're back.
And we're fighting.
Not just for us, or for each other, but for our light.
