When it all comes crashing down...
Everything I thought I had with Austin Murphy—safety, stability, the normalcy I crave but my celebrity lifestyle rarely allows—was ripped away in one night. I wanted to surprise him, but the joke was on me. Now I don't know if I ever really knew him at all.
Someone has to pick up the pieces...
Mackenzie Forbes was everything I ever wanted and the one person I didn't deserve. When a past mistake costs me the girl I love, I'll do everything I can to get her back. We both have demanding careers and family secrets darkening our pasts, but I need Mackenzie in my future.
Sometimes everything you have to give just isn't enough...
Losing Us is available for purchase:
Jen McLaughlin is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of sexy New Adult books. Under her pen name Diane Alberts , she is a multi-published, bestselling author of Contemporary Romance with Entangled Publishing. Her first release as Jen McLaughlin, Out of Line, released September 6, 2013, and hit the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal lists. She was mentioned in Forbes alongside E.L. James as one of the breakout independent authors to dominate the bestselling lists. She is represented by Louise Fury at The Bent Agency.
Though she lives in the mountains, she really wishes she was surrounded by a hot, sunny beach with crystal-clear water. She lives in Northeast Pennsylvania with her four kids, a husband, a schnauzer mutt, and a cat. Her goal is to write so many well-crafted romance books that even a non-romance reader will know her name.
Now the stunning story of Quinn and James continues...
It was supposed to be a love story....
I knew she was out of my league but I didn’t care. Looking back, I wonder if I hadn’t pursued her, would things have turned out differently? Is it Fate that determines our choices in life? God? Free will? Or just plain old innate selfishness?
I got her, of course. There hadn’t been a girl I wasn’t able to seduce. Problem was she seduced me right back, body, mind, and soul. She possessed me, tormented me, and showed me a world that was so bright and pure I was almost blinded.
Didn’t she know after such a drug I could never settle for less? Didn’t she realize no matter how many times I screwed up, or broke her heart, or bent her to my will, I’d never be able to let her go?
If I hadn’t known such intensity existed, would it have been better for both of us?
True love, the real kind, isn’t nice and sweet and pure. No, it’s dirty, and sinful, and messy.
It’s like ripping a chunk of flesh from your body and watching yourself bleed out in slow, helpless intervals until you thankfully pass out.
This isn’t a love story. But it’s the only story I got.
I was a big fan of Mac and Austin from Austin from Between Us so I have been anticipating this follow up for some time now. This was definitely not a disappointment! While Between Us was all about their getting together and falling for each other over Spring Break, Losing Us really gives the reader a follow up on their relationship. It's great since usually, with novellas, what you see is what you get--a short story leaving you yearning for more! It's nice to see that it wasn't an easy-peasy-happily-ever-after for them. Mac and Austin go through a lot of conflict in this installation of their story and the end of this novella leaves them off on a nice note (and, of course, leaves you wanting more Mac and Austin!!).

Sex on the Beach, the do-over.
Cassie Wilder had a simple plan for what to do in Key West the second time around.
Testify at the trial of the rapist she helped catch last year.
Make sure he gets locked away for the rest of his natural life, so he can never, ever hurt another girl.
Wait for her BFFs to get to town, so they can celebrate.
And stay far away from Ty Connor, because three months after breaking up with him, she still doesn’t know whether being with him is worse than being without him.
Spring Break, take two.
All of the above? Out the window.
Turns out testifying is a lot harder than she thought it would be.
Not only is the rapist she helped catch last year not locked away for the rest of his life, he’s on the loose and looking for her.
Oh yeah, and it’s definitely harder being without Ty than being with him, especially when she has to watch him with someone else.
Welcome to Cassie’s world.
Quinn and James were my favourite SOTB couple from the first three novellas. I found their story was the most emotionally charged of the three and, perhaps, the most relatable for myself. Chasing Me was definitely not a disappointment as a second installment to their story. I find that their struggles as a couple make them that much more realistic and less like a made-up-fairy-tale couple. There's growing up and "real-life" conflict here and I definitely appreciate the less-fantastical approach when it comes to romance novels. Jennifer Probst spins another captivating story here in continuing James and Quinn's story. I haven't been disappointed by her work yet!
