Save Me From Myself (Nashville Nights)
Page 24
Laughing, I have to agree with him, “You’re right, if you’d shown up here with your bag yesterday, Aria would have junk punched you if I didn’t.”
He nods, “Now, see why I didn’t? Go ahead and get your shower, we’ll have to stop at the hotel so I can take one.” Kissing me gently, he walks out to brave my overprotective sister while I take a shower and get dressed.
I don’t know how long he’s planning on staying, but when he goes back to Nashville, I’m going with him.
My husband Joey - for first encouraging me by saying “you read so much you should write your own”, second for “outing” me on Facebook so I had no choice BUT to publish under my own name and third for not getting fed up with me for getting home from work, scarfing my dinner, putting my headphones in and attempting to ignore you all night - even if you did show me 5,000 Vine videos trying to get my attention!
Stephen, AJ & Jakob - for putting up with my insanity and outright neglect because I was spending so much time inside my head
My mom - for instilling my love of books to begin with! Without it, this book would never have been written. And for not being able to finish the book because you think my real life sex life is similar – it’s really not!
Aly Martinez - for being the first person to read my ramblings and encouraging me to write more. And, also for writing your own book at the same time! Having a writing buddy was amazing. Even if you write way faster - I kinda hate you for that! Oh - and I can’t forget the peer pressure to drink - because of you, I have a newfound love for wine!
The best beta readers ever - Bianca, Bianca and Adriana
Bianca S - for falling absolutely in LOVE with David. He probably wouldn’t be who he is without you. There definitely wouldn’t have been as many “darlin's”!
Bianca J - for proving just how scary Aussies can be! And, for being one of the most awesome Beta readers ever! Your daily encouragement (and threats) kept me on track!
Adriana - I’m so sorry you were tasked with editing this craziness! You did an outstanding job, and I could never thank you enough. Maybe you can use this as a college project or something!
Lawren – for doing a final run through of edits prior to sending through the paperback to ensure this book was as amazing as it could be!
Tessa Teevan - I’m glad I met you, because you are an amazing friend and this journey wouldn’t have been the same without you!
Ferro Posse (Mel, April, Crystal & Sary) – I will forever be grateful to Holly because I met you all! Thank you for the Twitter conversations, the love you show my characters, and the conversations about pretty much anything you can fit into 140 characters!
Nicola Haken - I am so, so glad I got to review Saving Amy because it led to meeting/befriending you! Thank you so much for the motivating talks, your friendship and falling as in love with D as I am! One day, even if I have to come to the UK, I will hug you!
Rayen Belchere & The Early Ray Band - for letting me put you in this book, and making the nights my husband was able to drag me away from this story an absolute blast! You can find out more about Early Ray on their website, Facebook, or Twitter!
Olivia Luck, Rochelle Paige, Ella Fox, Lakrysa Jefferson, Jacquelyn Ayres and the rest of the Indie Romance Author Chicks - for the hilarious sprints on Twitter with you guys, Aly and Tessa!
Emily Snow - for your friendship, encouragement, and all around awesomeness! Thank you for the sex scene advice and for offering to read my story before I hit the publish button. P.S. - that song is STILL in my head!
Stacey is a 32 year old wife and mom to 3 boys, ages 15, 13, and 8! She lives in Hickory, NC. She’s always been a huge book lover, and back in 2012, she found Fifty Shades, and after staying up all night one Friday to read all three books, Stacey was hooked! She started a book blog, and kept reading everything she could. Then, she found Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines, and couldn’t stop reading. Her husband told her that she should write her own book since she was spending so much on Kindle books – by June, she’d read over 500! – and after blowing him off for a few months, Stacey decided to try to write the story she kept seeing in her head.
