SACRIFICE - RELEASE DAY BLITZ, GIVEAWAY AND REVIEW
BLURB
My life changed forever the night my husband died.
I was left with a shattered heart, a heap of bills, and our daughter, EVERLEIGH. I don’t want to rely on anyone, least of all CREW GENTRY. He’s my first love and the man who almost destroyed me, the man who has let me down every time I’ve needed him.
But when tragedy strikes a second time, Crew just might be my only hope.
My life changed forever the night my brother died.
I was left with a guilty conscience, a pile of mistakes, and little else. I take care of JULIA GENTRY, my brother’s widow and the love of my life, and their daughter. I know she doesn’t want my help, but she gets it anyway. I owe her that.
When another disaster hits, I’m given the opportunity to make things right. I’m taking it. I'm willing to sacrifice it all.

EXCERPT
“She’s been missing him a lot lately.”
Julia’s voice is barely a whisper and my chest constricts. Our conversations don’t normally make it to discussing Gage unless we’re already arguing. The fact that she just brought it up shocks me and I’m not comfortable with it. I don’t know how to take it. I feel my jaw pulse with frustration and scramble to change the subject again. “Why is it so chilly in here?”
Her smile disappears and she tugs her sweatshirt nervously. “I didn’t know it was.”
“How can you possibly not know?” I start to the thermostat across the room when she clears her throat.
“The heater isn’t working right. I asked Lane to come by and look at it earlier this week.”
“And he hasn’t been here yet?” I shoot her a look and she shakes her head. “He’ll be here tonight.” I dig my cell outta my pocket.
“Crew, don’t. Please. The last time you called my landlord he was a complete jerk to me for a couple of months. I just got on good terms with him again.”
I scroll through my contacts list, looking for his name.
“Crew ...” I know her doe-eyes are pleading with me. I also know if I look up at her, I’ll be somewhat inclined to give in.
So I don’t.

REVIEW
Oh wow......
Grab a box of tissues before you start this book. A big one...
Jules Gentry has had more than her fair share of tragedy in her life. After losing her husband Gage two years ago, she's struggling, doing every thing she can in order to make ends meet for her and her little girl. She has no one that can help. No one except the one person in this world that she want's nothing to do with - her brother-in-law Crew.
Crew Gentry hates to watch his brother's widow struggle. He knows she blames him for the loss of her husband, but he refuses to back away and leave her all on her own. She was his first, and only love, and he will do anything to make her life better. That's why he let his brother have her without a fight all those years ago. It's what was best for Jules even if it killed him inside.
Now, as tragedy strikes her family for the second time, Jules needs Crew now more than ever. It's time for him to step up and be the man both Gage and Jules knew he could be, even when he never thought it was possible.
Crew is going to make things right, even if he has to sacrifice it all.....
There are no adequate words to tell you how AMAZING this book is. If you're reading this review my advice to you is to ONE-CLICK IT NOW!!!! The story is beautiful. You'll laugh and cry and be so angry you'll want to throw your kindle. You become part of this story and your heart aches for these characters. This shoots right to the top of my "holy hell they'd better make this into a movie" list... It's absolutely brilliant.
