Just ask Darcy Walker.
100 Proof Stud picks up four months after No Brainer's cliffhanger ending, and Darcy discovers the aftermath pales in comparison to the crisis her heart is in. All of a sudden it's raining men, and this teenage heroine’s personal life turns her inside out.
Before she can sort out her feelings, she chases a spray-painting vandal and stumbles upon a case of identity theft right in her own backyard. Darcy jumps into the fray headfirst to prove she can hang with the big boys.
But it’s not just to hang…nope, she’s chasing reward money.
Tapping her band of misfit brothers for help, she turns Valley upside down trying to unearth the criminals. Problem is, the cloak and dagger goes high-octane, and she raises the bar on “crazy" in the process.
Bullets ring out…dead bodies appear…and Darcy rubs shoulders with the ultimate sociopath. In the midst of murder and mayhem, will she finally follow her heart or build a fortress of lies around it? Will she even get the chance?

Review
[Insert random ramblings about Dylan here: Gorgeous, athletic, hot bod,knows how to love, smart, DIMPLES, tall, and guy I'd like to meet. :D Oh how I love Dylan let me count the ways. lol but seriously I wish this guy existed, I would be all over that like a bowl of ice cream. I love his alphaness and he would give alpha wolves a run for their money. I could go on forever how amazing he is, but I'll let you figure out that yourselves. and you can think my best friend Snyder for putting insert things about Dylan. All I did was gush about him. So yeah Tiffany out ] LOL ;)
BEWARE READER! This
book contains guns (not the water guns), Testosterone, Lots of flirting, Danger
at every turn, and DYLAN!!!!!!!!! *Swoons*
Darcy never seems to disappoint me. I never know what to
expect and I love her for it. I don’t think I’ve ever loved a character more. I
feel connected to the characters in this book like no other. A.J. Lape knows
how to make you love someone and hate someone. I quote frankly think she is a genius.
:D Let’s get back to the book shall we lol
100 Proof Stud was everything I imagined it to be! There was
mystery, bone chilling creeper men, and hot guys….ok make that one hot guy with
a semi hot guy on the side (Ben). I don’t know how she gets into the things she
does, but she has a knack at finding out the truth. And I swear I get the
paranormal vibe from this book, like with Ben and the Ouija board. That was
some freaky stuff! You will just have to read the book for yourself to find out
what I’m talking about. I feel like I should say more. I was practically read
half the book to my best friend; she was over while I was reading it. I was
laughing at practically everything. Darcy does not have a serious bone in her
body and I freakin love it. She is the sweetest girl ever, but if you mess with
one of her friends you better watch out. Oh and her friend Justice was awesome and
I just loved Rudi. She was the cutest little thing and I wish she was more confident
in her self. OH MY GOSH I have not talked about Dylan!!!!!! I must be on
something, seriously. Dylan is a guy that you wish you had. He may have a
protective streak and be all alpha male, but he is ALL lover. I practically
swoon every time he and Darcy are together. They are like moths to a flame. Why
does this remind of an Edmund Spenser poem I read? It is sonnet 30 from Amoretti and it states “How comes it
then that this her cold so great / Is not dissolved through my so hot desire, /
But harder grows the more I her entreat?” Darcy inst cold to him, but she doesn’t
really encourage him either….well she does but doesn’t. And well Dylan he is
hot for the Darcy. LOL he just gets hotter for her the more she tries to pull away. ;) But yeah this book rocked my socks off. This is
seriously one of the best books ever and I will forever remember everything in
it. Darcy like I’ve probably said in a lot of my other reviews has a special
place in my heart. I can’t get enough of her crazyness! It is always a crazy
adventure and there is always always the possibility that she won’t make it out
alive. Like I said the whole thing is a mystery and I freaking love that A.J.
can keep you guessing till the very end! And then WHAM BAM Out comes all the
dirty little secrets. I feel exhausted after reading it but fully sated as
well. Darcy can about give me a heart attack at times. I feel for Murphy. Lol He
is the best by the way. He gets the best dad ever award. I’m totally rambling
right now. This book was just too good for words. Just take my word for it and
buy it! You will not be dissatisfied.
Overall: 100 Proof
Stud was action-packed, laughs danger in the face, highly addicting, and
just plan ole amazing! This is what you call the whole package. If you want it,
100 Proof Stud has it. Darcy is all verb and you better buckle your seat belt
because you are about to go on a wild and slightly crazy ride.
5 STARS
She lives in Cincinnati with her husband, two feministic daughters, an ADD dog, a spoiled hamster, and an unapologetic and unrepentant addiction to Coca-Cola, with a lifelong love affair with bacon. She studied English, Journalism, and Political Science at Morehead State University and left the business world when her daughters were born. Her love for suspense and a good story was born from watching Mystery Science Theater with her sister during childhood. That and any B movie with comedic undertones they could get their hands on.
When she’s not riding that razor-thin line between creativity and insanity, she likes to read, watch too much cable TV, or cheer like a banshee at her daughters' sporting events. She’s a huge hometown sports fan and loves to watch the Cincinnati Bengals and Cincinnati Reds whenever she can.

Thirteen things you didn't know about AJ Lape
AKA - Ada Miracle Lape
1. I can dislocate my left shoulder on command.
2. My favorite movie is It's a Wonderful Life...cry like a baby when George Bailey starts yelling, "I want to live again...I want to live again."
3. I hate clowns and chicken wings ... not necessarily in that order.
4. I'm a notorious sleepwalker. It happens when I'm troubled. As far as I can tell, I always have my clothes on.
5. I had an academic scholarship. I know that's shocking, but looking at homework today, I'm pretty sure I'm tapped out at fifth grade.
6. I like to shoot 9mm guns...look out Target World, every once in a while you have to walk your inner hillbilly.
7. I started running high school track when I was in the sixth grade. Don't ask me to run now. After two kids, I pee my pants when I walk across the floor.
8. I'm like Rain Man when it comes to fractions.
9. I used to write and record songs. I won Honorable Mentions in the John Lennon Song Writing Contest and Music City Song Festival. Verrrry short career.
10. I've cliff-dived off a 40-foot cliff into a lake...wouldn't recommend it ..that sucker can burn.
11. I'm the only human I know that got turned down twice when trying to adopt handicapped dogs. What the heck...those dogs would've loved me.
12. I would've been a police officer or journalist if life didn't land me where I am.
13. I occasionally have the foul mouth of a truck driver ... sorry, Mom and Dad. I try to change it. So far, the message hasn't made it to the execution part of my brain.
Thank you for the review and promo!!!! So happy you enjoyed it!!
