BLOG TOUR - TAUT by J.A. HUSS - ROOK AND RONIN SPINOFF - NEW ADULTISH / EROTIC CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE - SCIENCE FUTURE PRESS



I absolutely LOVE Rook and Ronin Trilogy and now we have the spin-offs. Ford's, and soon coming Spencer's spin-off. Now, it is true you don't have to read Rook & Ronin trilogy first, but I recommend it as you meet both Spencer and Ford in those books and they truly are not to be missed. Hence , why , there are now spin-offs. That is just my personal opinion. Ford is just something to read, he really is.

The readers LOVE Spencer and Ford. I LOVE Spencer & Ford. Now for those of you who took me up on my recommending Rook & Ronin to you, I have heard how much you have loved them.

Fords novella, Slack and his full length book Taut, are brilliant.

I am such a fan girl of all the lads. J.A. just floats my boat.

I am a complete hussy when it comes to J.A's lads.

You can check all my reviews out on the blog. Just check the left side bar.

J.A. actually told me the reason we are getting a novella on Spencer - A Day In Spencer's Life, Bomb is cause of me. My hint was in my Slack review. I have the fb message, I am not talking smack :) 

Woot!!

TAUT: The Ford Book by JA Huss
(Rook and Ronin Spin-off)
Published January 20, 2014
Contemporary, Erotic Romance, New-ish Adult

Synopsis:

By: J.A. Huss
Published By: Science Future Press
Released: Available Now
Details: Digital Copy for honest review, 325 Pages

RATING: 5 I'M SO IN LOVE WITH FORD STARS!!

Blurb: Goodreads

TAUT IS A STANDALONE NOVEL - you do NOT have to read any of the Rook and Ronin books first.

Ford Aston is known for many things. Being an emotionless, messed up bastard, a freakishly smart social outcast, and a cold, domineering master who keeps "pets" instead of girlfriends.

And after Rook broke his heart, he plans to keep it that way.

Ashleigh is known for nothing, and that's exactly what she's got going for her. She's broke, stranded in the mountains with a three month old baby, and Ford Aston is screwing with her head.

Big. Time.

And she plans to mess with his right back.

It's a coy game at first, filled with flirting, and innuendo--but Ford soon realizes something is not quite right with Ashleigh. In fact, something is seriously, seriously wrong and the closer they get to their final destination, the closer Ford gets to the truth.

One night of devastation, self-loathing, and emptiness turns into the best thing that ever happened to Ford Aston. But one day of in-your-face reality threatens Ashleigh's whole existence.

******

Since A LOT of people have been asking here is the scoop on how this book fits in with my Rook & Ronin series:

Ford first appears in Rook and Ronin #2, Manic. He has a bigger role in Panic, R&R #3, and then he has a novella, called SLACK. This TAUT book is only FORD. It's not really part of the R&R series, as that plot has all been sidelined for this one romance book.

BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

I love Ford Aston.

I love him even more after reading Taut.

Ford is a character who is just so well written.

Clever.

He sees a problem, he fixes it.

He is a little dangerous, cunning and a quick thinker.

Ford is a walking , breathing thesaurus of descriptive words.

You want him on your team. When he plays, he plays to win. Rook is the only one he didn’t win.

Just when I thought I was a smart ass and had channeled some of Ford’s genius and worked something out...

...BAM!!!

I got blindsided.

Crikey. Didn’t see that coming.

Ford is everything and more in this book.

He has met his match intellectually.

Enter Ashleigh.

Ashleigh may come across as fragile, in need of saving and a mamma to boot, but she knows what she wants. She likes to talk things out with Ford. She likes to challenge his beliefs in himself.

“But yeah, I’m not usually so nice. You caught me on a bad day.”

“This is a bad day? What are you like on a good day? A saint?” This brings the smile back, at least partly.

“No, on a good day I’m myself. On a good day I would’ve left you in your car all night.”

She looks over at me quickly. “Would not’ve.”



Ford thinks he knows what he wants. He thinks he can’t show emotion, but he is hurting from Rook.

He wanted Rook. He can’t have her. He won’t settle for less.

I’m not an emotional guy. I mean, I get what she’s saying, but even after my dad died, I never wanted to like, kill myself or anything. I have a strong sense of preservation. And I suppose that’s why I don’t always put others first.

Ashleigh likes to interrupt and question Ford.

And then she does shut up and go away.

I sit here thinking it over several minutes before I come to the conclusion that I have just been word-slapped by a girl who never raised her voice or used profanity.

Ford likes to control.

Game on.

Ford likes his space.

“Sphere of privacy, people. Now.”

I could so see Rutherford saying that. It made me laugh. I think that is a quote that will stick with me forever. I can actually see Sheldon from Big Bang Theory saying this. Ford is after all a genius.

But there is more stuff going on here than first meets the eye and I loved watching it unfold.

I loved watching Ford...evolve.

“Yeah,” I say to Kate, my captive audience. “That’s some shit right there.”

Ford is growl worthy.

His sexual side is... * growl *

“ Tonight I promise you perfection. So just give in, Ashleigh. Give yourself to me and let it happen.”

I simply love listening to Ford’s inner monologue.

Where are you going, Ford?

I don’t answer the voice. Partly because I have no idea and partly because it’s not good to encourage the internal monologue.


I know I am odd. I do, I admit it. I understand this, I own it. What can I say. I was just born this way.


This is my new thing, since I met Rook. I’m trying to make amends for any and all weird past behavior. I figure trying to blow him up on the golf course counts as something that requires an effort.


Ford and Ashleigh’s road trip is a healing trip for Ford. He is getting much benefit from playing the Knight.

“It was your absence that woke me, not the noise you were making.”


Every time J.A. writes a book or a spin-off in this series I will pick it up ASAP and read it.

I am addicted.

Simply. Addicted. I am having withdrawal , already. 

Bring. On. Bomb.

BOOK COVER REVEAL & FREAKIN' COOL TRAILER & GIVEAWAY - TAUT BY J.A. HUSS - FORD'S BOOK - IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME!!! ROOK & RONIN SPINOFF





I'm not ashamed to admit that I have a * whispers * boner for Ford's book. Yep, I just said that.  I have a boner.

I am soooo excited to read about this lad. He is sooo intelligent and he plays with your mind. I LOVED LOVED LOVED!! the Rook & Ronin Trilogy and this is Ford's spinoff. 

I am just so bouncy for this book. I am throwing myself onto this blog tour when it gets announced like a hussy.

I just thought of something I am one of J.A. Huss's, Hussy's...heheee! I kill myself with my humor sometimes.


TEAM HUSSY

Throw this one onto your TBR pile. If you haven't read Rook & Ronin trilogy, seriously, dudes, what are you waiting for. I think each book gets better and I am hanging for Spencer's book too. Read them before you embark on Ford's book as you gotta read Ford in Rook & Ronin. You gotta see this guy in action.

OO yeah, these lads rock my kazbah, something fierce!

Check out the brilliant trailer below too. Just from watching it I can see Ashleigh is a match made for Ford.

Humma! Humma!

And after Rook broke his heart, he plans to keep it that way.

Ashleigh is known for nothing, and that’s exactly what she’s got going for her. She’s broke, stranded in the mountains with a three month old baby, and Ford Aston is f*cking with her head.

Big. Time.
