It's Not Over by A.L. Zaun Blog Tour and Giveaway

                                           

Synopsis:

“If I let go, will you catch me?”
He had wanted her to help him win his ex-girlfriend back. She had wanted to teach him a few lessons on how to treat a woman. Neither one had planned for the unexpected.
I couldn't stand by and watch. It hit too close to home. I had to run fast and far to get away and forget him. He weaseled his way into my life, making me question rules I lived by and turned my orderly life upside down. I'm falling apart and coming undone. I don't do that. I'm Madison Stuart. I live life by my rules. I won't be derailed by a man. I won't...I can't.
She's gone. I'm desperate and going insane. I'll do whatever it takes to find her. I don't know when it happened, but I won't let her go, not like this. What has she done to me? I'm Rick Marin for crying out loud. I don't chase women, but she's not just a woman. She's Maddy--my Maddy--and I need her.
Follow Rick and Madison’s story, The Do Over’s most notorious couple, as they learn that It’s Not Over.


                        


It's Not Over is Book 2 in this series. You meet Rick and Maddy in The Do Over when Maddy helps win his ex Daniella back but she really falls for him.

Its starts out where book 1 ends when Maddy leaves town and Rick realizes that he's not in love with Daniella and wants to be with Maddy. I absolutely despised Rick in Book 1 because of what he did, so going into this I had no idea what to expect from him. Well, he has totally won me over! He is definitely an asshole but that's just who he is and Maddy takes him how he is. Their connection has been unstoppable from the very beginning and it just builds and builds.

 Rick and Maddy isn't your typical lovey dovey couple. It's takes getting used to their personalities because well, I can't really describe it perfectly like the book can. Maddy has a dark past and nobody knows the true her and has built a wall up guarding her heart. I just fell absolutely in love with this story and everything you learn about Maddy's past and watching Rick battle his way into her heart. I wanted to scream and throw stuff at some of the events that take place. This story will just leave you on the edge of your seat waiting for what's coming next.

I would recommend reading this after Book 1 or you will not get a feel for what these characters are like. This is a major cliffhanger and did not expect it coming at all and I was truly disappointed in that fact but the story was amazing and A.L. Zaun nailed it. You feel the emotion right along with the characters. Looking forward to Rick and Maddy's story to continue in Book 4.

Rating: 4.5 stars
Cheers,
Holly
                                      


Excerpt:


We hit a little turbulence, and reality set in at thirty thousand feet. I was on an airplane, holding Madison in my arms, on my way to New York City. I looked around, taking everything in, and I caught the flight attendant, sitting across from us, eye-fucking me. She smiled as she lowered her eyes to my dick. I wondered if she was imagining a threesome. What else could she be thinking, gawking at me, while I’m holding another woman? Somehow, I knew that my conclusion would land me in a new category of asshole. Surprisingly though, I wasn’t the least bit interested in even entertaining the fantasy. I want Madison exclusively.

My heart pounded faster, and my mouth went dry. I hadn’t admitted that to myself or any other living soul. I grabbed the bottled water and drank it in one gulp. I can’t stand her half the time. She drives me crazy. She infuriates me like no one else. But I felt something for her that I couldn’t describe. It was more than wanting to bury my dick in her and fuck her hard…I couldn’t live without her. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

She shifted against me, sliding her hand inside my jacket. Reclining my head back against the seat, thoughts of her flooded my mind. Somehow, along my quest to win Daniela back, Madison had become my best friend and something more.

Liam Lucas’s words hit me like a tsunami. Your friend is more than a friend. You don’t go up against your brother over a chick unless she’s under your skin, and if you aren’t sleeping with her, then you’ve got it bad.

The Do Over

Synopsis:

Life doesn’t look like it’s supposed to for Dani Ruiz, a hopeless romantic. After a painful and sudden break-up with Rick Marin, Dani hides away from reality, retreating to a world of fiction where she prefers book boyfriends over the hassles of a relationship.
Almost two years later, Dani’s friends are tired of watching her in a holding pattern, so they stage an intervention, forcing her back into the real world of dating.
Unexpectedly, Dani meets Liam Lucas, a down-to-earth firefighter. He might be the person to show her she’s still worth something. Dani’s hesitant to trust her heart with another man, but their instant and electric chemistry is something she can’t deny.
As Dani starts to believe that she’s found her real-life book boyfriend, Rick decides that he’ll go to any lengths to get her back. Seeing Rick as a changed man makes Dani question everything. 
Can Dani trust her patched-up heart with Liam? 
Or has Rick transformed into the man she’s always wanted? 
Written from various points of views, The Do Over is a story of second chances and new beginnings.
