Release Blitz for Next Time I Fall (Excess All Areas #2) by Scarlett Cole w/ Review

Release Date: November 16

Jase

Love sucks.

Especially when your own brother and fellow band-mate stole the woman you were in love with.

Sitting in a Michigan recording studio with him, singing lyrics he wrote about her, is a special kind of torture.

The only thing more frustrating might be the producer’s assistant who radiates sunshine and has more motivational quotes than a greeting card company.

Cerys

Love rocks.

Heavy guitars, a voice with the burn of pure single malt, and lyrics that distil the meaning of love are the greatest things.

If only the man singing didn’t have a temperament as foul as the Michigan winter. Jase sitting in her car while yelling at her to get him out of there is a surprise. Why she hits the accelerator and takes him to her father’s cabin on the lake is an even greater mystery.

How was she supposed to know they’d end up snowed in for days? Or that when they got out again, their relationship, and her views on love, would be changed irrevocably?

***5 ‘Waves” Stars***

After finishing ODLT, not only was I all in for the series, I was all in to have Jase’s book be the next one because the tension between them all was giving me a dose of anxiety and I needed to have some sort of...not resolution because the issues between them all are deep...but a start of a path to clearing the air and moving forward...and lemme tell you I got that and so much more! Yes, there were still parts of this book that were painful, but Jase and Cerys were amazing! Sweet, awkward, funny, heartbreaking and yet filled with the type of swoony-ness that had my heart all kinds of twitterpated and my cheeks hurting from all the grinning I was doing. I really just need more of them.

So, obviously I ADORED Jase and Cerys. Funny thing about Jase, I felt for him in ODLT.. He was his own worst enemy, and the need to Gibbs smack some sense into him was strong, but his pain was real and heartbreaking. So to watch him work through all of the intense feelings he has and see the sweet guy, who still has an edge to him come out to play? Well, he’s book boyfriend gold as far as I’m concerned. And Cerys? Full on girl crush going on. Yes, she is sunshine and positivity, but it’s not OTT. She isn’t a doormat, she doesn’t look at the world with rose colored glasses on, she is simply real and would rather take the high road than not.

As for their journey to their HEA. The funny thing with them is that things do progress quickly and yet there is a slow burn woven in that oddly enough worked for me in the best of ways. They do butt heads, but music connects them, so through it they learn to see each other in a way most people don’t and after that all bets are off. I simply liked their flow and how they actually communicated with each other, so there were no mind games going on and in the end, I loved how it all worked out for them.

There were so many ways this book could have gone, but I’m very happy with the road taken. It had the perfect blend of angst, humor and sweetness for me. As for the Sad Fridays...I enjoyed catching up with all of them. I liked how things changed with them all, for the most part, it’s a change in progress kind of thing. I really like Alex and Ben and Matt and Iz. Luke? We’ll see. He’s got things to work through. But Nan was freakin’ amazing as always. I seriously want to be here when I grow up. And as for the new characters? I need more of Zoe. MORE. So toes crossed. But Luke’s up on the chopping block next and considering all that is already going on, it’s gonna be one hell of a ride.

Meet Scarlett Cole

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy.

Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.

I am represented by Beth Phelan at The Bent Agency, NY.
