Celebrate the 4th of July with a BANG. Make your own fireworks with Jasper White!
Re-Release Blitz!
I Surrender is back and better than ever! New cover, re-edited, and a new never before published scene.
SYNOPSIS
Singapore has stolen a piece of Ava Thompson.
It took one life shattering moment for her to realize her ex-boyfriend is not the man she believed him to be. Returning home to Los Angeles was never going to be easy for Ava, as her heart has been shattered to smithereens and she’s convinced it’ll never heal. Or, so she thought.
Enter Jasper White.
Unbeknown to Ava, he will change her life forever.
The attraction is instantaneous, which troubles Ava, who has sworn off men indefinitely. Yet, she is finding resisting Jasper—with his tousled bedroom hair and piercing cerulean eyes—harder than she ever imagined. That’s because Jasper knows what he wants … and he wants her.
Can Ava surrender to her feelings for the one man who compels her to love again? What happens if love isn’t enough?
Our faces are inches apart and I’m still sitting submissively, too afraid to make the first move. Jasper rests his forehead against mine, inhaling softly. He slides his nose against mine, backwards and forwards, and I take a steady breath before I pass out.
“You smell like lilacs,” he whispers hoarsely, his mouth fluttering over my chin.
He unhurriedly moves to my neck, his nose gliding over my skin, inhaling my scent. I detonate as the tip of his tongue slowly sashays along my collarbone, but before I can demand more, his tongue retreats and he begins kissing my cheeks delicately. I wish in this moment I looked nicer or had on more makeup. But under his passionate gaze, I feel like a queen. His tranquil blue eyes take in my impassioned face and he rewards me with a dimpled smirk.
“You look so beautiful, looking at me with those big brown eyes,” he says, and a low moan escapes me as he passes his thumb softly along my bottom lip. I purr with desire and close my eyes involuntarily, because the scene playing out before me is too much.
“Open your eyes,” Jasper whispers. I oblige.
As I take in the man before me, I gasp at what I see. Jasper is sitting before me, inches away from my face, his eyes consumed in a blistering stare. As he slowly leans in to kiss me, I’m waiting with bated breath to feel his lips on mine.

Snippet # 1
I lean up to kiss him and as I do he pushes me back into the elevator wall and kisses me passionately taking me by surprise. He leans his whole body against mine as he reaches out and slams his hand on the emergency stop button. The elevator grinds to a halt, jolting us.
I smirk at him “you did not just do that?” I ask as he moves his hand to the top of my pants.
“I think I just did,” he says as he swiftly pulls my pants down to my ankles. I giggle and step one leg out of my pants and panties.
“Are we seriously going to do this?” I ask as Aiden grins mischievously.
“Abso-fuckin’-lutely, it’s been a fantasy to do this in here with you for as long as I can remember,” he says then crushes his lips to mine.
Snippet # 2
“You look terrible,” I say making him chuckle.
“Well you look beautiful.”
I shake my head. “Aiden I don’t know what to say.”
“Say you love me.”
I close my eyes, I know he’s right, I do love him, and there’s never been any doubt about that.
Snippet # 3
He looks at me with his beautiful blue sparkling eyes full of lust while he enters me. Moving deeply into me, he exhales when our pelvis’ touch. My hands find their way to his shoulder blades when he puts his full weight on me, moving his hips in a circular motion and thrusting hard and fast. He continues his rhythm making me moan loudly as he thrusts, rotates and thrusts again. Our breathing becomes erratic when he quickens his pace.
“I. Love. You.” he says through staggered breaths after each thrust. All I can do is moan in response.

Review
Jenifer has some serious trust issues. From the moment he ran into her (literally with his car) Aiden has known there was something special about her. In between their budding relationship his family (well his father), an ex he can’t get away from, and corporate embezzlement could tear them apart unless Jenifer can Trust him.
I’m totally in love with Adian where can I find one of him? (Shhh don’t tell my husband I said that) 😉 Great story with an interesting plot line. Loved Sarah and Chrìs’s banter it helped lighten up the story so further down the line it didn’t seem so dark. It was easy to get into the roles of the characters especially what kind of smart ass remarks I would make to Alastair for Jeni. The story draws you in and doesn’t wanna let you go. – Goodreads review 5*

Review
Love me? picks up right where Trust me? ended, with Aiden and Jeni being separated by lies. Their love will be tested in this book. You have the same wonderful supporting characters who you will learn to love even more as the author builds on certain storylines. You also have those characters that we love to hate make appearances throughout the book.
Aiden and Jeni’s unwavering love is entwined throughout the book. It’s almost a physical presence, one that made me feel as if I was living it right along side them. This love will be tested by others and circumstances. There will be surprises along the way with an ending that will have you grabbing for tissues.
There is a cliffhanger ending so be prepared…….
I am sooooo looking forward to book 3!!!!!! – Goodreads Review 5*
Jenifer Taylor is a sweet albeit clumsy young receptionist at ADF Automotive Repairs. She is very sensitive and a whole lot lonely since her break-up of ‘He Who Shall Not Be Named’. It’s very hard for her to Trust since her relationship consisted of controlling, jealousy, and horrible verbal and mental abuse. She is searching for something but scared to get hurt.
She presses on in life and goes on to work when fate steps in and Aiden O’Connell crashes into her car, her coffee, her morning, and her life.
This hot, sexy, rich, and loyal man work’s at his father’s finance company and is full of charm and romance.
4 hearts – couple’s finding love
This couple had a rocky start but you can feel the connection between them as they continue to get to know one another. Jenifer had me smirking and laughing when she struggled in communicating with Aiden in her text messages. Her doubts and fears are all to real and I’m sure everyone can relate to sending, deleting or ignoring a message you are clearly waiting for.
“I’m impatiently waiting for the text.. palms are sweaty.. butterflies are wreaking havoc.. my phone beeps, and I almost squeal with excitement.” ~Jenifer
Aiden is charming yet mysterious he has no problem getting what he wants, he tries to communicate to Jenifer but I think he might be holding back and maybe keeping some secrets of his own. He is very intriguing and all about romance, he won’t stop wooing her until he succeeds in his efforts to charm her.
“Crashing into you is the best thing I’ve ever done.” ~Aiden
Their romantic date was enough to have me swooning and dreaming about my own Mr. Sandman.
3 lips – sexy reads
This author knows how to write about hot romantic scenes, although I didn’t feel it to be erotic, I could clearly imagine the connection and intense desire they both felt when they touched, kissed and made love.
All in all I’m very happy to have read the romance, intrigue and suspense of this little tale. This is Book One of the Series and it ends in a Cliffhanger which I do not mind for I look forward in continuing on. I will not spoil it for others and give details other than this:
Aiden O’Connell, you are under arrest for crimes of embezzlement against O’Connell Finance! DUN DUN DUNNNN!
Thank you K.E. Osborn
