Book Nerds Across America

I just love Jean Haus!  She is an outstanding author!  When she asked me to be part of this cover reveal, I almost screamed "YES"!! But, I played it cool and simply said "sure".

I read and LOVED "In The Band" (you can read my review here). Ink My Heart is a spin-off of one of the characters in the book.  Truly, I cannot wait to read this book!

Jean Haus was so kind to give you all a few excerpts from In The Band.  This is what Riley thought of Justin.  Now, Justin will be the main character of Ink My Heart:


~The singer stands with an arm around some girl’s waist and a beer in his other hand while talking to Marcus. This close, I can see that his body matches his face. He’s quite good looking with dark blond hair, deep dimples, and a crooked, white smile. Though he has a shirt on now, tattoos cover his arms and an eyebrow ring catches the light.

~Because Justin doesn’t have a flavor of the month. More like a flavor of the night.

~Justin is a pretty damn good singer. 

~As he talks, I’m getting a complete picture of Justin through his body art. He’s not a bad guy. Maybe a bit of a man whore. But he’s just out to have fun. Carefree and cool seem to be his main life goals. And with his obviously rich father, his aimless lifestyle isn’t too hard to maintain.

~Strangely, Justin’s womanizing ways don’t bother me. It’s not like he has a girlfriend, and it’s obvious he’s a player.

~Apparently, his dimples equate to Jedi mind tricks.

I bet you are wondering what Ink My Heart will be about.  Well, how about a book blurb:


Expected Publication: 2013 
Even if he weren’t the lead singer of the popular college band, Luminescent Juliet, Justin Noel would have his pick of women. And he does pick. Nightly. Tattooed, blonde, and green eyed, he flashes his dimples and females swoon. 
Except for one. 
Tattoo artist, Allie Landon, rarely dates, and especially not men like Justin. Though he’s hot enough to melt off permanent ink, she’s done with the bad boy type. But when the ex who broke her heart wants to reunite, desperation has Allie introducing her latest client as her boyfriend. Justin’s more than happy to play the part. He’s completely intrigued by the sexy tattoo artist and college student. 
However, Allie’s life isn’t what it seems. There’s little room in it or her shattered and confused heart for Justin. But as Justin remains persistent, ignoring the growing attraction, both physical and emotionally, between them becomes more difficult than tattoo removal.

So, now the cover of Ink My Heart:

Goodreads description: 


Living with her erratic mother has always been a struggle for seventeen-year-old Margot. Though she loves her mother, she tries to be the exact opposite of her flighty and disorganized parent. When they move to Northern Michigan near a grandmother and uncle she’s never known, her mother’s depression begins to border on crazy, which makes Margot crazy.

Her escape comes in the form of a boy named Ethan. At first, he’s just looking for a new girlfriend — someone different from all the girls he’s dated in their small town — and Margot’s just interested in the distraction he provides. But within weeks against her mother’s rule about not dating, Margot’s comparing the need to breath with Ethan. 

Then the combination of a killer wolf in the woods and her grandmother’s revelations about their family has Margot pushing Ethan away. Because if the unbelievable is true, Margot will become that wolf in the woods...

Mary's Review:

First, I need to thank Jean for the book for me to review.  She has quickly become one of my favorite authors and I am loving this book just as much as I have the others.

Best part of book:  Talk about a different take on werewolves!! Jean has one of the most creative minds that I have read in a long time.  I love her writing style, her imagination and her love of the characters.  Even, if its a bad character you can still see how much she cares about them and I love that!  This book was SO GOOD!  I mean, REALLY GOOD! Margot thinks her mother is crazy.  They are always on the move and her mother is also acting strange.  Now, Margot will do anything for her mom but she doesn't know how much more she can take.  Then one night her mother and her are on the move again and stop at a rest stop.  It is there that Margot's uncle appears and take them to her grandmother.  Margot, had no clue about this family and she didn't understand why they wanted to help now.  On top of that, Margot is almost 18 and is ready to head to college and be away from all the madness.  Then Ethan comes into Margot's life.  I love the way the meet! It is a little crazy and strange but it fitting for the story.  I love that Ethan is there for Margot, even when she doesn't want him to be.  Of course the twist of the story is when Margot's mother "loses it" and the truth about Margot's family comes to light.  CRAZY!!  It is so cool how Jean does this story and how is all molds together! JUST LOVE IT!!

Not so great about the book: I would not change one thing in this book!! NOT ONE THING!!  Jean has wrote a great book and I think that everyone should read it!!
