Today we are revealing the cover for LUST IS THE
THORN by Jen McLaughlin. This book is being released by Random House on April
19th, 2016. Check out the fantastic blurb below.
BLURB
From the bestselling author of Bad Romance (“A sexy, emotional, steamy read.”—Addison Moore) comes an edgy novel about a reformed bad boy training to be a priest and the fallen angel who makes him think twice about giving up earthly pleasures. Growing up hard and fast on the mean streets of Chicago, Thorn McKinney didn’t have a prayer—until tragedy inspired him to join the seminary. Now the time has come to take his vows, and yet he’s haunted by the woman he can’t leave behind: his best friend’s little sister. Despite Thorn’s promises that he’d keep her safe, she’s going through hell. And now he finds himself torn between duty and desire, entranced by the seductive pull of her trusting eyes, innocent heart, and sinfully sweet curves. Trying to let Thorn pursue his calling, Rose Gallagher has been hiding some things: namely her abusive boyfriend and her job as a stripper. But when she hits rock bottom, Thorn is there for her—and now there’s no denying the raw temptation that draws them together in their darkest moments. Rose may have found salvation in his strong arms, but she knows that Thorn must choose his own path: in the church, or in the warm embrace of a woman’s love.

For the past eight years I’ve been a witness to the power of true love, but after getting burned I’d decided there wasn’t any hope for me finding it for myself. Until I met Noelle Brandt in a hotel bar. Maybe it wasn’t the most romantic meeting, but the moment I met her I knew I had to have her. The more I learn about her, the more I know I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her. Twice shy… I’d already found the love of my life, but I’d lost that love forever. And I’d been lost ever since. But one night a wounded man makes all of that go away. He makes me laugh, live, and feel alive.

That is, until I find out who he really is…and by then, it’s far too late to correct the mistakes we’ve already made.

Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Fractured Lines By Jen McLaughlin
Fractured Lines by Jen McLaughlin was released today! This is an adult, standalone novel that is part of the Out of Line series. Be sure to check out the links below and the contest for some hand-made items by Jen!
The lines we once crossed so easily have widened and torn us apart…
Once upon a time I thought Finn and I would live happily ever after, but real life doesn't always have a happy ending. He's testing my trust, and I'm losing faith in the man I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. He’s the one I trusted to keep me safe, but now he’s the source of my greatest pain…
Forgiveness is fragile, and some fractures never fully heal...
One mistake—a slip in a moment of weakness—might cost me everything I've worked so hard for. The thing about trust is that it's a lot easier to lose than it is to build. Just as I'm about to give up and surrender to the demons from my past, an unexpected threat reminds me what I'm best at: protecting the woman I love. Whether or not she wants me, I will fight for Carrie and our daughter, and I will keep them safe—no matter the cost.
Even if I have to put my life and my heart on the line.

All About FINN, Teaser & Giveaway: Fractured Lines by Jen McLaughlin
Fractured Lines by Jen McLaughlin will be releasing October 14th, but first we have some exclusive content to share. Each week, FINNClub team members are sharing special details from the book, and series, in order to share their excitement for the new novel.
Today we have a post that is all about FINN!
Finn Coram
As one
reviewer put it, “Oh, Finn, Finn, Finn, Finn-ey, Finn, Finn.”
There’s just
something about Finn from the OUT OF LINE series that makes female hearts go
aflutter. Maybe it’s the fact that he was/is a Marine. Maybe it’s the Harley he
rides. Maybe it’s the surfing. Or the fact that he can kick ass without even
breaking a sweat.
I’m not sure
what it is, but there’s just something that makes him irresistible to readers
and myself alike. When I wrote their third book (which was planned to be the
last) it was so bittersweet. Being in Finn’s head was just so much FUN. He’s protective,
but daring. Sweet, but dominant. Hot, but sensitive.
When I
thought we were done forever, I was sad, but okay with it. After the readers
had finished, I got countless emails begging me to continue the story. I didn’t
think it was possible, but then…it hit me. I could write Finn as an adult! And
so FRACTURED LINES came into existence.

Today we have an excerpt from FRACTURED LINES! Watch out, it's spicy!
EXCERPT
I lowered my face even more. “I need you so damn bad. Let
me kiss you. Let me make it better. I know how to make it all better.”
I brushed my lips across hers gently, testing her
reaction. She kissed me back. So soft I barely felt it, and yet I somehow felt
it down to my soul.
With a small groan, I closed my mouth over hers, crushing
her against my chest and holding her so tightly I might have broken a rib. Man,
I’d been waiting for this moment. For her to stop shutting me out. For her to
want me as much as I needed her.
And now it was happening.
I slanted my mouth over hers, taking full control of the
kiss. Backing her up against the wall, my tongue glided inside her mouth at the
same time I slipped my leg in between hers. She gasped and opened her mouth
wider, granting me full access.
Without hesitation, I took it, and then I took some more.
Like the greedy asshole I really was. Part of me knew I should stop kissing her
until I was better, but the other part of me wanted her too damn badly to give
a shit about anything else. When I closed my hands around her hips, my fingers
digging into the soft sides of her ass, she broke off the kiss and took a shaky
breath.
I latched onto her neck, biting with just enough pressure
to sting. It had been too long since I’d had her. Too long since I’d held her.
Too long for everything. My injured leg protested against the weight I put on
it, but I ignored the cry of protest it gave. Any pain I had to suffer was
worth it, as long as Carrie was in my arms again, making those small sounds
that drove me fucking insane.

McLaughlin will be releasing October 14th, but first we have some exclusive
content to share. Each week, FINNClub team members will be sharing special
details from the book, and series, in order to share their excitement for the
new novel.
Today we have an author guest post from Jen
McLaughlin explaining why she chose to continue the series by bringing in an
adult title.
Finn and Carrie—adult style
When I decided to write another Finn and Carrie book, I knew where I had to pick up the story. At the end of OUT OF MIND, we fast forward seven years. So if I wanted to give the readers what they wanted—which was more Finn and Carrie—that’s where I had to pick up.To take a NA book and turn it into an adult book is (to my knowledge, anyway) not something that’s been done before. It’s a bit daunting of a prospect, but I knew that it was something I wanted to try anyway! And I have to say, it’s been so much fun to take these NA characters, make them grow up…and put them through hell all over again, so to speak, lol.
I’m hoping that by taking these younger characters and turning them into something new and fun, in a way, it can let people who haven’t experienced these characters as NA characters to enjoy them as adults. And on the flip side, it will let the readers who came along on their earlier journey experience a new side of Finn and Carrie…their mature/adult sides.
What do you think of this concept? Would you like to see other NA characters turned into adult books?
Once upon a time I thought Finn and I would live happily ever after, but real life doesn't always have a happy ending. He's testing my trust, and I'm losing faith in the man I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with, and there’s nothing I do can stop it.
