Purple Rain Blog Tour
Title: Purple Rain
By: TJ West
Blog Tour: September 12th – 18th
Hosted By: Author Sandra Love
Sandy Brooks was a single
mom who was raising a young boy with High Functioning Autism. She left her home
state, Seattle, Washington and moved to sunny San Diego, California to start a
new life for her and her son, Joey. She was determined to make it on her own
with the goal of keeping her son happy and well cared for. She may have dated a
few men in her days, but wasn’t out to have a man take over her life. She
couldn’t trust her relationships to last, because Joey’s feelings were at
stake. No one would hurt him. He was her life and was the most important person
in it - Until the day she met Quinn Baker - the man who would rock her world.
Quinn Baker was a quiet, maddening loner. Having
a past that has haunted him for 17 years he was in no shape to take over his
Father’s restaurant, Reds. So much pain and anger was still implanted inside
his heart, he wasn’t sure coming back to San Diego would make things better.
Not feeling love or compassion for many years he never would have thought Sandy
would be the one who would take over his mind, body and soul. Along with Sandy
would be her son, Joey - a boy who would give him a reason to love again

First TJ West is a new to me author, one I'm happy to have found!
Purple Rain is a sweet story with strong characters, a phenomenal
female lead and a brilliant, solid plot.
I adore a strong female and Sandy is just that. Raising her now ten
year old son with high functioning autism on her own. She's an
amazing mom, works her tail off to provide for him but still has time
for him so he never feels like he's any less that her number one
priority.
She has an amazing boss, Red, who hired her seven years ago and has
worked with her to make sure she has time with her son, he's a grandfather
figure to Joey, something her own parents aren't willing to be.
Quinn is Red's son, brought in unexpectedly to take over the restraunt
so he can retire.
Quinn never expected his father to leave the restraunt to him, he left years
ago and other than calling when he needed to be bailed out, hasn't had
contact with his father.
Now he's home and taking over his father's job and not everyone is happy
about it.
Quinn is rough, short with people and a bit cold. He prefers to work
in the office all day away from people.
Sandy is concerned for her job, she's put in for a manager's position because
her rent will be going up and she needs the extra money, now with Quinn
running the show she doesn't think she'll get the job.
Quinn is rude, calling her shorty instead of buy her name, Sandy doesn't take it
she snaps right back at him and puts him in his place.
It's a shock and a turn on for Quinn.
Quinn and Sandy develop a relationship, getting to know each other. Sandy
helps Quinn come to terms with his past, sadly it's too late in some instances
but just in time for others.
No spoilers, just a great story that flows well and keeps you interested. I can't wait to read more from this author.

First Book in the Series!
Marty Mayfield fell in love
at the tender age of 16 to Matt Cooper. He was her world until the day he left
to go into the Air Force. From many letters she had written and mailed,
responses from Matt never came. Her world felt destroyed and lonely. After
graduating high school she moved to Paris and lived there for 12 years. During
her years of living there she met the man she thought could replace Matt. Turned
out her years in Paris brought nothing but pain, loss and suffering.
Making a fresh start from her wounded past she
makes her way to San Diego, California where she ends up finding the one person
who had always made her feel whole. Will she be able to get past her scars and
give Matt her whole heart again? Will she be able to forgive him for leaving
her hopeless? Denying her love for him will be a struggle, sexually and
emotionally.
Matt Cooper was the black sheep of his family.
He wanted nothing more than to play music and live outside his father’s
influence within the Air Force. Having no other choice, he took that road and
left the one girl who loved him unconditionally. Regretting his decision for
not writing Marty back, he continued to serve his country. Years later, after
retiring, he started living his dream in San Diego, but the loneliness was
always there. His heart had always been with Marty. He couldn’t get past the
thought of ever living without her. Feeling like he came out of years of a coma
she enters his life again. He felt his love for her immediately and more
stronger than ever. Getting her to trust him again will be a battle, but he was
never going to give up. He was determined to keep her in his life forever.
