Release Day Review: Give and Take (Stories from Beauville #1) by Tigris Eden

[Eva Millien]

What the books has to say:

Compromise is a word Annabelle Macon knows well. Sacrifices at home, in college and with her career, have all given her the tools to be the person she is. Now it seems she must also make concessions for her long-time love, Jackson Storme.
Six months into their relationship, and he’s already making unrealistic demands. With distance putting that much more of a strain on their relationship, how are the two ever going to manage?

Old insecurities have a way of resurfacing, making Anna feel less than suitable for someone like Jackson. She’s worked hard to get to where she is now. Her life and her work are clashing, making matters worse. Bringing a whole new meaning to work/life balance. But Anna knows that with a little give and take everything will fall into place, regardless of the obstacles that may stand in her way.
Interracial Contemporary Romance.

What I have to say:

Old insecurities and unrealistic demands threaten Anna and Jackson's happily ever after but hopefully with a little give and take everything will fall into place in this riveting contemporary romance.

Anna's career has become a bone of contention between Jackson and Anna but so has Jackson's past, especially when she waltzes right back into his life and the reader can't help but get caught up in all the emotional turmoil and drama that flows from every page as it seems everything and everyone conspire against Jackson and Anna having their happily ever after even with all the scorching hot sex that their fiery desires leads to there is going to have to be quite a bit of give and take. These strong compelling characters capture the heart and demand your attention while they figure it out and the steady to fast paced plot captivates readers with lots of suspense, drama and passion.

Lots of excitement and tension keeps readers on the edge of their seat as betrayals and miscomunication surrounds Anna and Jackson's relationship with chaos and some surprises both for Anna and Jackson add even more spice to the excitement. The well written scenes and details capture the imagination and bring the story to life with the well orchestrated events drawing the reader deeper into Anna and Jackson's relationship and the small town setting adds the perfect ambiance for the story as well.

I have to say that the vivid intensity of the emotions that flew from Anna and Jackson throughout this story kept me completely enthralled from cover to cover and really what a cliffhanger...when does the next book come out? I will be waiting (very, very impatiently) to find out what happens next.

One of Tigris’ fondest memories, was in the sixth grade, when her teacher read her story, “The Case of The Missing Pepperoni”, out loud to the class. It was then she decided she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. But like all childhood dreams, reality has a way of crashing in and disrupting plans. But her imagination and the voices inside her head never stopped talking. Every dream she could remember was jotted down in her dream journals.

Years later she’d use them to express her happiness and her pain, through poetry. She took her real life situations and twisted them into something she could handle. Fantastical tales of love, life, death and cruelty. Now that her dream of writing is a reality she turns the voices in her head into stories of werewolves, vampires and other mythical made-up creatures and drops them into a world of her choosing.
All of her stories are figments of her imagination, mixed in with a healthy dose of real-life situations. Tigris’ famous lines are “It’s not me who’s interesting, it’s my crazy whacked out friends and family around me who are.”

Aspiring to be waited on hand and foot, Tigris spends her evenings and weekends in front of her computer, typing out the various stories that she’s either dreamed or witnessed.

An avid reader, Tigris enjoys an eclectic range of authors. Some of her favorite titles are Animal Farm, Slaughterhouse Five, Stephen Kings, The Stand, and Big Bad Wolf, A light in the Attic, Jane Eyre, The Color Purple, Oh the Places You Will Go, The Secret Garden, and Menefreya in The Morning. Just to name a few.

When she’s not writing Tigris marvel’s at life’s gifts. She likes to take pictures of beautiful things. She openly admits that what she may find beautiful another person might not, and she’s perfectly okay with that. She enjoys her music and doesn’t leave home without it. Long pillow conversations with LL about nonsensical things, and hanging out with her boys, when they deem her “cool enough.”
It can be said that life is never boring at her house. Something is always going on. Shouting matches at the tele, food fights at the table, and the occasional extremely loud singing.

Tigris writes the Shadow Unit Series, featuring hot immortal men who police their kind, and women who love them. She also co-writes the Romantic Tales: Bedtime stories, which have included, The Genesis Project, a Sci-Fi Paranormal Romance, featuring Genesis Blackmore, the last remaining human on New Earth. In Season 2 or Romantic Tales, Tigris has Red Hawk Mercenary group. This is also a Sci-Fi, but Erotic Romance featuring female assassins with very little moral codes.

Tigris is currently working on the Shadow Unit Series, New Earth Series, Arctic Wolves, Stories from Beauville, and V Vices.

Tigris is a military brat who’s done her fair share of travelling, thanks to her Army father. She’s married to the infamous LL and has three boys. She currently resides in Houston and is actively seeking a book-buddy for the end of the world.
