Title: Groupie
Series: Juked #2
Author: M.E. Carter
Release Date: Nov 4, 2016
Groupie
/ˈɡro͞opē/
a person, especially a young woman, who regularly follows a celebrity in the hope of meeting or getting to know them.
See example Tiffany Wendel:
Whore. Slut. Cleat Chaser. I’m used to the names so they don’t bother me. These are my boys. My friends. So what if I like to have dirty sex with them? My body is no one’s business but mine.
Why is Rowen Flanigan making me re-think how I live my life? Making me question my choices? He’s only a rookie.
rook·ie
/ˈro͝okē/
a member of an athletic team in his first full season in that sport.
See example Rowen Flanigan:
Player. Son of a legend. Rookie.
Sure, I’d heard the stories of the groupies before. Who hasn’t? I’ve just been more sheltered than my teammates. So what? I didn’t expect her to be smart. Witty. Kind. She brings me to my knees in every way – except one.
That part? I’m saving until the time is right.
So how in the hell did I end up falling for a Groupie like Tiffany? And how in the hell is this going to work when everyone at my job has had a piece of the one thing I haven’t?
This was my first M.E. Carter book and I really enjoyed it. I loved the differences between Tiffany's thoughts on being sexual and Rowan's views on it; they were portrayed in a role reversal: Tiffany had absolutely no issues with being so casual about sex, whereas Rowan was brought up to believe that intimacy is shared with someone you love, not just being all willy-nilly about it. I also liked the fact that Rowan wanted to be recognized on his own athletic merit, not because of who his parent is; the interactions between him and Tiffany were surprising in that they were sweet and so genuine with each other, that Tiffany began to see how it could be if you just give yourself to one person.

My name is ME Carter and I have no idea how I ended writing books. I'm more of a story teller (the more exaggerated the better) and I happen to know people who helped me get those stories on paper.
I love reading (read almost 300 books last year), hate working out (but I do it anyway because my trainer makes me), love food (but hate what it does to my butt) and love traveling to non-touristy places most people never see.
I live in Houston with my four kids, Mary, Elizabeth, Carter and Bug, who was just a twinkle in my eye when I came up with my pen name. Yeah, I'll probably have to pay for his therapy someday for being left out.
