About the Author:



Author Bio:
I'm just a small town girl with a heart for the country life.
I'm very shy and pretty much a loner, but my writing helps me be more outgoing
and talk to various people that I would otherwise have a hard time approaching.
I don't write for the money or the fame, but rather to tell a story that needs
to be told; whether that is my story or a character's story. As a lot of people
know, from my various interviews, I started writing to express my anger and
hurt over the bullying that I experienced in High School, but eventually I just
realized that I loved to tell stories. I was born in Texas, grew up and still
live in Upstate New York, and want to retire in Ireland.

Book Review - - The Replacement by Rachael Wade

The Synopsis...

My name is Elise Duchamp. I’m twenty-three years old and I’m known as the town whore.

No, not the kind who exchanges sexual favors for money. The other kind. The kind who gives it all away for free, whenever and however she likes. I am that girl. The one everyone whispers about and the one none of the girls seem to like, because all of their boyfriends either want to sleep with me or already have. Promiscuity is my thing—the kind that slowly, violently turns my insides black, but gives me something I need.

All things considered, I’m not completely reckless. I’m safe, and contrary to popular opinion, I do have a heart. I live in a world of careless choices, and with those choices come careless people. I cannot judge them, because I am one of them. I too bow down to the altar of the self-serving. I am not a good friend. I am not and never could be anyone’s girlfriend. I’m convinced any goodness in me shriveled up and died long ago.

But I am a replacement. That is something I know how to be, and this is a story of the lengths I’d go to in order to keep it that way.


Jaymee's Review...

4 Stars
 
The Replacement by Rachael Wade is a stand alone novel about one woman's journey of self discovery and finding her worth. I found this book to be hard to read emotionally at some points, Elise is a damaged, broken woman who sees herself as worthless. She doesn't believe she deserves love and is on a painful self destructive path where she sleeps with anyone who will have her, mostly men with wives or girlfriends. She makes no apology for who she is or what she does and that is one thing I really liked about her. She was obviously hurting people and didn't care but she never pretended to be anything but herself, she owned her reputation and wore it like armor. She thought she was worthless so that is how she acted and it was heartbreaking. The author uses flashback to give the reader some insight into what happened that made her so damaged and it isn't an excuse but it is a reason. 

She has no intention on changing her behavior but then she meets Ryder and he sees her, the real her, not the shield she puts up to protect herself. She fights him the whole time but he is determined to get into her heart, he is amazing, sweet, kind, understanding and doesn't care about her past. He wants to set her free from what haunts her. My heart actually hurt for him, he was so wonderful and had such pure intentions but Elise constantly lashed out to push him away. She believed he was far too good for her and in a way he was, until she learned to love herself. Still, he doesn't give up and he does something amazing and basically it changes her entire life. Then there is Jay, her boss, one man who loves her unconditionally even though she can't really see it. Between him and Ryder her damaged sense of self didn't stand a chance, they were going to make her see what they saw. 

It takes quite awhile and a huge surprise in order to help her see the good in herself but when she does it is amazing. She sheds her past and wants to move forward, she is still damaged but she has hope and that is the most healing thing in the world. I found this story captivating and emotionally gripping, Elise was a very relate-able character. Many people engage in self destructive behavior to mask things they can't face and hers happened to be sex. I didn't judge her for her choices, the author wrote her character in such an open and honest way that I could relate to her pain. She isn't easy to like but as we get to know her the more I could understand her, she lashed out to isolate herself because she felt like she didn't deserve anyone's love. Overall this was a raw and powerful story about a young woman who was in a very bad place learning to love herself with the help of a wonderful man. I also loved the fact that the promiscuous character was the woman instead of the man, it was really refreshing! This was my first read by Rachael Wade but I will definitely be looking for more.

boundsynopsis

When young college student and working phenom, Annie Teasman, shows up again at the distribution center to pitch a consulting proposal to management in hopes of sealing the deal, she never suspects when their eyes lock that the gorgeous, blue-eyed, ripped Gray Dearsley will change her life forever.

Will the bright, funny, and unassuming coed from an upper class background be able to bind her heart to that of the cocky, carefree Southern playboy? As she tries to manage an impossible school load while working full-time, will her drug use jeopardize their relationship?

While Gray wrestles with his desire to lead a carefree and uncommitted lifestyle, Annie must grow up as she struggles to meet her goals and decide for herself what she needs from a relationship to be happy. Will she choose a relationship where she is bound by passionate love, or will she choose the gentle love and security of a man whose background more closely matches her own?

Set in a Southern town where the cultural divide is wide and the generation gap is even more pronounced, the book is contemporary in its approach to the issue of drugs at colleges where the demands on time for success-oriented students frequently surpass their physical capabilities.

Passionate, sensual, and erotic, Bound by Love explores some of life’s most difficult questions about love & happiness. This is not a fairytale romance; it’s the story of two people desperate to love each other through drugs, infidelity, and painful truths. Not all love is guaranteed a happy ending.

I'm a thirty-six year old wife to my sweet husband Jason, and mother of one to the most adorable seven-year-old girl to ever walk, Maggie. I live with my little family on the outskirts of Greenville, South Carolina where we house two cats (Star Anise aka Annie and Asparagus aka Gus) and a dog, Jack. (the largest Yorkie ever!).

I have a serious addiction to anything Coach and would live on Starbucks if I could get away with it. I'm slightly enamored with Charlie Hunnam and Sons of Anarchy and am a self-proclaimed foodie. I'm an avid reader averaging around 300 novels a year and wish I had time to read more.

I currently work full-time in the Greenville area and fill my "extra" time (haha) with reading anything I can get my hands on and writing contemporary romance novels with a hint of erotica. This has been a dream of mine for years and I couldn't have done it without the support of my husband and BFF Tracy who both pushed me to keep going when I didn't have the confidence or the patience.

Releasing control is relief…

With just one taste, I felt the danger in him, the uncontrollable power that left me breathless. The passion consumed me. Fast and hard. 

Temptation couldn't guard my heart. I should have known a man of such raw and wild desires came with competition.

Then in a chance encounter one stormy night, Richard offers to make Alicia’s desires come true. Alicia learns not only to submit to Richard, but his friends as well, and she glories in every minute. But can she abandon her new life when she discovers that Richard’s games have more to do with revenge on her ex-husband than Richard’s desire for her?
