All for Maddie by Jettie Woodruff ~ Blog Tour and Giveaway



Release date: December 13th 2013.

Synopsis:

I believe in love at first sight... because I am a mother. A mother’s love knows no laws, no boundaries, and no remorse for anyone who interferes with the life of a child. 

I have lived a complete lie, holding on to a secret that could now cost me my daughter. I can’t lose Maddie. I couldn’t breathe without Maddie. Maddie is my life. 

The saying about dying for your child is the absolute truth. The other things you would do are comparable to that of death. I know, I did those things. I did unthinkable things, all for Maddie. I continued the lie, the secrets with the one man who had no right, whom I despised and wanted dead. 

I had no choice. I did it all for her... for my Maddie.


Excerpt:

By midnight the party had come to an end. I was normally one of the first to leave. I wasn’t leaving without Jaron. Naomi was the first to take off. I was glad that she had to get up and work the dining room. The few people that were left were guests that I didn’t know, nor did I care about. I moved between Jaron’s legs, sitting on the tailgate of his truck. He looked at me with a peculiar grin.
“What are you doing, you little conniver?” he asked.
“What does it look like I’m doing?”
“What’s the matter? Rich guy not so good in bed?”
I wasn’t talking about that with him. I had no clue how he was in bed. “You know how I get when I’m drunk.”
“I don’t get it.”
“Get what?”
“If you’re so in love with this guy, why are you trying to get me in bed?”
“I don’t have to try to get you in bed. You just follow me when you think you might have a chance at getting me in bed,” I reminded him.
“I’m not following you. You have a boyfriend that you live with now. You’re chasing me, why Whitley?”
I got close to his ear and kissed just in front. “Because I am horny, and I know what you can do to me. Come home with me,” I whispered.
“And what would your boyfriend think about me moving in on his territory?”
I wanted to scream to the top of my lungs and tell the whole world that he wasn’t my fucking boyfriend.
“He’s not going to know, come on,” I coaxed, pulling his hand.
Jaron got behind the wheel of my golf cart and drove us to my house. I couldn’t wait. I was overly frustrated and excited. I needed this. I needed him to feed my craving before I went back to Alex’s.
I was completely naked before we ever made it to my bed. Jaron didn’t waste any time either. He was slamming into me, sending my eyes to the back of my head in seconds. Son of a bitch he felt amazing.
“What?” I asked when he stopped.
“Did you hear that?”
“Hear what?”
“I heard a car door.”
“No you didn’t, go down on me,” I beckoned, pushing his shoulders down.
I moaned when I felt him slide all the way out of me and move down.
I moaned even louder when I felt his tongue slide through my slit and then focus on my throbbing clit. I was going to last 2.7 seconds. Jesus God, he was incredible, or his tongue was anyway. Jaron aggressively paid close attention to my swollen nub, I was right there, right at the brink of an amazing orgasm when I called out and jumped when the overhead light was shining in my eyes above the bed.
Jaron jumped up, grabbed his jeans, and covered himself. Closing my legs, I grabbed the comforter, covering my naked body. I couldn’t speak. I was mortified. Alex had just walked in to Jaron eating me out.  Not only that, I was in the middle of an orgasm that was halted thanks to him.
“Hey man, I don’t want any trouble,” Jaron said, holding up one hand still covering himself with his clothes.
“You always take little girls to bed?” Alex calmly asked. I knew he was speaking of the age difference.
Little girls?! Really?
“Um, would you turn that down?” Jaron asked, turning to me as I sat frozen in time, watching the spectacle play out in front of me.
“Get out,” Alex demanded in a composed voice. I could tell that he was pissed, but his voice didn’t show it.
Jaron scurried past him and right out the door, sliding into his jeans as he hopped out. Alex just stood there staring as I sat stunned, not knowing what to say.
Review:



So, I have to hand it to Jettie because the storyline of the book was very original and unique and her writing is very good, but I'm so conflicted on how to rate and review this one because of my feelings...I had a wide range of emotions from shocked, amusement, sadness, happiness, anger....all these emotions just continued on repeat. I felt horrible for Whitley, adored Maddie, and absolutely HATED Alex...I had a hard time seeing the redemeption in my eyes for his character. 3.5 stars 

All for Maddie is Whitley and Alex's story. Whitley attends a party with her friends and she is raped at this party. Whitley is just 17 years old. She becomes pregnant and raises Maddie on her own and keeps the father's idenity a secret from her family and friends, that is, until she runs into Alex, her rapist and Maddie's fater.
Alex immediately wants to be a part of Maddie's life. He is angry at Whitley for keeping him away from Maddie. Alex forces himself into their lives, in the process making Whitley miserable, because it's either his way or he takes Maddie. I really had no idea how this story would turn out, and I'm surprised with the way it did, but I actually could not put it down. Even with all of Whitley's immaturity and Alex's prickness (is that a word? lol), it didn't stop me from reading. I'm not going to go any more into the story because I really feel you need to experience it for yourself.

Like I mentioned above this book has a very unique storyline....a story about regrets, forgiveness, sacrifice, and hope..about how you would do anything because you love your child so much. Would I scream from the rooftop for you to grab it now?....Probably not, because I just couldn't stand Alex and I don't know if everyone could stomach his stupidity. That doesn't make the story bad though, give it a chance you may enjoy it.
