Blog tour for "Because of Ellison" by M.S. Willis



~Synopsis~
When I was nineteen years old, I lived for sex, drugs and a good party. I had it all - good looks, a fast car and a hot girlfriend. Nothing in life was more important.

That was, until I met Ellison James….

Since the moment I first saw her she was a raging bull; tackling me in the mud and throwing out insults as fast as her tongue could form the sound.

She was snarky
She was rude
And she pissed me off like no other woman could.

I lived beside her for a summer and in the three months that I walked by her side...

She opened my eyes
She changed my life
And she made me a better man

~Excerpt~
Those must have been fighting words, because the next thing she did was slam her hands against me with such force it almost knocked the air out of my chest.  I tried to hold on, but when she took both my nipples between her fingers and twisted, I released her in response to the pain.

“Fuck!  Ellison, that shit hurt!”

“I know it did, that’s why I did it.  And you can expect that reaction from me every time you think you’re going to overpower and force me to stay still when I don’t want to!”
“Well, then fine!”  I shoved my chest out at her and held my arms out to my sides.  “Go ahead and rip them off then, El, because you can expect that I’m going to hold you every day until you stop breathing!”

She looked at me like I was nuts.  Her voice was a whisper when she asked, “Why can’t you just go home?”

We stood staring at each other for a few seconds.  It was eerily quiet where we stood, almost as if the birds and bugs had stopped to watch, curious to find out what would happen between us.

We locked eyes and I walked up to her.  Grabbing her by her chin, I tilted her angry face up in my direction and held on when she tried to pull away. 

“I am home.  Why can’t you just accept it?”


~Review~
To be honest when I started to this book I really didn't know what to expect, and boy was I in for a great surprise once I started to read it. Melissa have out done herself once again by writing a book that I thought was out of her comfort zone, this woman keeps on amazing every single time I've read one of her books. Her writing is impeccable, the way how she tells a story is like none other. I felt connected with Ellison and Hunter's story. The depth of the characters is one that most would not expect from her, the way how Hunter, being the selfish little rich boy who had everything. I know deep down he wasn't expecting to find that one girl will make such a huge difference in his life. Ellison being the stubborn strong individual that she is, I know she wasn't expecting Hunter to fight for what he believed in, which was them. The emotions that went into writing this book, I cried, I laughed and I sighed. Melissa ended this book like no other, I actually smiled when I got done with it, one of the best ending to book that I've read to date. I always look forward to Melissa's books, each and every time I take notice how she tells a story. Great book by one of my favorite authors, fantastic story line and what a way to tell a story.

5 out of 5 stars yet again for one more of MS Willis books, she rocks hard folks.
