When his fingers made the lightest of contact with the skin of her cheek she let her breath out and closed her eyes. His touch grew firmer as he stroked her cheek, ran his finger across her eyebrows and traced her lips. His hand slipped lower and closed over her throat. She knew he could feel her pulse trip-hammering against her skin.
“Look at me, Katie. Please.”
Katie drew in her breath, turned her head and stared into his eyes. Jay’s gaze held her captive as he gently squeezed her throat for the barest instant. His hand slid along her neck, then up to cup the back of her head before he pulled her close and lowered his lips to hers.

Praise for CRIMSON AND CLOVER:
“The author showed no fear in creating her characters, and I loved that. Juli owned in this area! I am a lover of the original, and this was most certainly original. The world of literature would be a lot more interesting if authors took risks like Juli did.” -All Aboard Book Reviews
“What a GREAT story! Juli not only takes you on a wild ride of Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll, but shares the truth behind the curtains. She builds a world that was so clear that I swear I smelled the stench of weed pass by my nose a time or two.” - Lisa Filipe, A Tasty Read Book Reviews
“… a nostalgic breath of fresh air, full of characters that are fully fleshed and step out from between the covers and into your imagination … discover the secret world of rock guitar gods and the women who love them.” – Debi Matlack, author of Old Dogs
“ … the far-out, groovy journey of a free-spirited heroine and her hard-rocking lover … an amazing supporting cast of characters, witty dialogue, and gritty backstage realism … an up-well-past-midnight delight that will leave you craving More, More, More!” – Traci Douglass, author of Seal of Destiny and Seal of Surrender
“Juli Page Morgan did a phenomenal job bringing the 60’s back to life with vibrant characters filled with flower child passion.” - Lavender & Chamomile Press
“ … an engaging novel with a wonderful cast of characters … an unflinchingly honest portrayal of the time period and perils of fame.” - Book Reviews and More by Kathy
“From the very first page I was immediately drawn into this story. Juli Page Morgan has done a wonderful job taking us back to a time of free love and rock n’ roll. … so well written it was like stepping back in time. I loved it, it totally rocked.” - Jill at Busy Moms Book Reviews
About The Author:
After an exciting career in radio broadcasting, Juli Page Morgan was left with a passion for rock 'n roll, and memories of the outrageous antics and stories told to her by musicians and bands she'd interviewed over the years. Inspired by these tales, Juli started writing Romances that Rock!™
Juli lives in Arkansas with her husband. When she's not writing, she's remodeling their old house, recording voiceovers for TV commercials, and trying to convince her husband the world won't come to an end if the television is turned off. She listens to a lot of music at maximum volume and has never met a speed limit she didn't exceed. Juli's an unapologetic lover of rock 'n roll, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, and French onion dip, not necessarily in that order. She's the author of Romances that Rock™, including Crimson and Clover, and Athena's Daughter.
