*Blog Tour/Review* for Beneath It All by Tori Madison

      
Synopsis 

You.

Have.

Breast.

Cancer.

I wasn't prepared to hear those words. Neither was my loving husband, family or friends. And none of us 

were prepared for what life had in store after they were spoken.

I should have seen the signs all around me. I should have paid attention to the people who supposedly 

loved me, the people who I'd always trusted. But I was blind to what was going on. The effects on my 

flourishing career, passionate marriage and carefree lifestyle would be insurmountable.

It was time to take control of my life and the overwhelming chaos. Time to make the choices that were 

right for me. Right for my future. The future I hadn't planned on.

My life didn't stop when I heard those four little words . . . it was only just beginning.


REVIEW ***** Five Stars 
YOU HAVE BREAST CANCER. 
Nobody wants to hear those words.  Ever!!  Tori gave you so much in this book, heart breaking moments to HOT Steamy Sex. I felt like I was there,being  witness to all that was going on. Sometimes as woman we tend to forget some things or out them aside for a while, but reading this made me realize you can never be too careful. I can't believe I'm gonna have to wait so long for book 2 but I have a feeling, it's gonna be worth it. Beautiful debut Novel for Tori Madison.

Excerpt FOR BLOG TOUR:

I laid there collecting my thoughts while Noah cleaned himself up and returned with a warm washcloth to do the same for me. Once we were both cleaned up, he climbed in bed next to me, and we quietly lay there together, sorting through our unspoken thoughts.

 

I mulled over what just happened in my head. It started out flirty and passionate and then quickly morphed into hot and frantic. It was quite possibly one of the most intense moments we had ever shared together in bed.

 

I was pleased with myself and replayed everything in my head again. It was then that I realized Noah didn’t touch my left breast once. Not once. I didn’t know what to think of it and suddenly my high came crashing down. Did it affect him the way it did me? Could he feel the burn that I felt constantly in my breast when he touched it? Did he look at me as damaged already?

 

Noah turned me toward him and smiled. Apparently he wasn’t feeling the same emotions I was, and he looked . . . well . . . for lack of a better term . . . well fucked!

 

“Jesus, Victoria, what did you do to me? I don’t think I’ve ever fucked you that hard. Are you okay?”

 

I promptly tucked my questioning thoughts away and smiled back at him. “I’m great—that was amazing and exactly what I needed.”

 

In all honesty, it was what I needed, but I wasn’t prepared for the feelings I had afterward. Noah popped up out of bed and pulled on his boxers. “Why don’t you stay here and I’ll go heat up our dinner and we’ll eat it naked in bed?”

 

“Sure, that would be great.” I smiled as I sat up and watched him walk out of our bedroom.

 

I sat naked in our bed with my thoughts waging a war inside my head. Would this be the last time we had sex while I had breasts? Would he look at me like this again or be totally disgusted when my body was disfigured? Would he find me attractive anymore? Would he want me when I was damaged?

 

Hot tears started to stream down my checks as a soft sob left my lips. What the hell? This wasn’t me. I was strong. I didn’t cry. I wasn’t going to let this take over my life, and I couldn’t let Noah see how scared I was. Jumping off of the bed, I ran into the bathroom, quickly washed my face and tried my best to cover up the puffy and glassy-eyed look that now was present on my face. I grabbed my face lotion and cover-up and tried to hide the evidence of my mini-meltdown before Noah got back.
