My Thoughts
This was by far one of the best books I have read this year. From the very first page to the last I was hooked and on the edge of my seat. Just when I thought I knew what was happening and who could be trusted Micki totally threw me for a loop. That one moment changed everything.
This book has suspense and romance and everything in between that will have you hooked and not able to put it down until the very end. This isn't your typical girl goes off to school and falls for the popular guy story. This is a must read.
I give Chasing Jenna 5 hearts!

About the Book
Twenty year old Jenna Clausen has one chance to change her life… and she's going to take it.
Leaving the darkness of her life two hundred miles behind her, Jenna arrives at the one place that could save her…college. Pushing her fears aside while gathering all of her courage, she steps out into her new life, and right into the sights of Cale Davis.
Cale is part of the most elite house on campus simply called, The Brotherhood. It’s an exclusive house with one rule for membership, either you are born into The Brotherhood or you’re not. Cale makes it a priority to get what he wants…and he wants Jenna. He sets a plan into motion to make Jenna his.
There is however, one flaw to Cale’s plan, Ryan Kitson. Also a fellow Brother in the House, he is a Cale-approved study partner for Jenna. But when her feelings for Ryan start to grow, Jenna has another decision to make….one she couldn't possibly have understood the dangers of.
She suddenly finds herself engulfed by a lifestyle so dark and twisted she can’t find a way out. On the run and unsure who to trust, she spirals deeper and deeper into her nightmare. Jenna struggles to put all the pieces together until it finally becomes clear… The decision she made to save her life, might actually be the one that ends it.

Excerpt
“Yes?” I asked, trying to encourage him to speak. He stopped
and turned toward me, running his hand over his face while a frustrated growl
escaped his mouth.
“Awkwardness doesn’t suite you.” I teased as I pushed on his
hard chest just enough to make him sway. “What do you want to say?”
He smiled and looked away, obviously trying to choose his
words. When his eyes returned to mine, his expression turned serious.
“I’m really sorry about Saturday night.”
Oh shit. I almost choked on my own tongue; or maybe I had
unknowingly swallowed a tennis ball because that’s what it felt like. Was he
really going to talk about this? Right here? Now? I might die if this
conversation continued. I looked anywhere but directly at him, hoping to
develop a quick escape plan – maybe fake a heart attack.
He continued, even though I internally begged him to be
quiet. “I really didn’t have any intentions of trying anything … out of line.”
He sighed nervously, it was adorable. My insides instantly softened. This
magnificent man was standing in front of me, offering something I’m sure, he
rarely offered to anyone, an apology.
I tilted my head and smiled, recognizing in this moment, a
small-town girl that stood a good eight inches shorter than him, might have a
little power over Cale Davis, once again.
“Really?” I linked my arm around his and started walking.
“You mean you didn’t intend to sweep into my life like Prince Charming with the
intention of stealing my purity?”
He bumped me with his elbow, leaned in and whispered into my
ear, “I said that wasn’t my intention, but once I got there and saw you in
those sexy sweatpants, well, every guy has his limits.”
He was teasing, his voice low and sensual making my whole
body tingle. I glanced up at his lips–remembering how soft they were and quickly
looked back down. Power shifted back to the rightful owner.
About The Author
If they’d known about ADHD when I was little, my Ritalin dosage would’ve been OFF THE CHARTS!!
It goes without saying; I spent A LOT of time by myself after the teacher moved my desk out into the hallway. ** Silver lining** With all that alone time on my hands, I used my imagination to make the world interesting.
When I was little, people said I had an "active imagination". In elementary school, teachers called me a "daydreamer". My high school counselor said I needed to “learn how to focus" and my college professors warned me to "buckle down". Before I knew it, it was time to “grow up”.
So that’s what I did. I grew up, got married and had five kids. I work as a full time nurse, active in my church, part of the most amazing book club, blog about books with my best friend and cart small humans to school, football, theater, dance ect. Oh yeah...and write a bit when I can and now people say I’m "talented".
Moral of my story: Hug your kids, embrace their differences… love them for who they are. Someday, the traits you think are struggles now…Might be what makes them the happiest!
Micki lives in small town Iowa with her husband, kids and a fat Cocker Spaniel named Joey. She is the author of Winds of Darkness, released in February of 2013 and Chasing Jenna, to be released Thanksgiving Day, 2014.
