Tessa Ross tries to fight her attraction to bad boy Lucas Links. He is hot, arrogant, and has a sexual past that most boys his age could only dream of, (If they even knew they could dream of such things).
Lucas, the star quarterback seems to have it all, super star athletic abilities, expensive clothes, cars, and women who literally stop just to watch him walk by. On the outside he appears to have it all. Tessa is a young woman who lives her life always doing what is right to make everyone else happy. She tries desperately to hold herself accountable to the demanding expectations of her family and everyone around her. Is Tessa as innocent as she appears? Is Lucas just a spoiled young man who seems to have what every male, and female wants? A troubled home life exposed. Past flings fight for his attention. While the only girl who Lucas ever dated connives to win him back using the only thing she knew held him to begin with. Does her desperation destroy a love he never knew existed before Tessa? A love bound not by his past or hidden secrets. A love of truth and depth. A love that knew no end regardless of tragic circumstance. Blue Love is not your typical love story. It is a journey through your past or a story of one close to you. It’s our story.

Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie - America's First Daughter blitz


About AMERICA’S FIRST DAUGHTER:
In a compelling, richly researched novel that draws from thousands of letters and original sources, bestselling authors Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie tell the fascinating, untold story of Thomas Jefferson’s eldest daughter, Martha “Patsy” Jefferson Randolph—a woman who kept the secrets of our most enigmatic founding father and shaped an American legacy.
From her earliest days, Patsy Jefferson knows that though her father loves his family dearly, his devotion to his country runs deeper still. As Thomas Jefferson’s oldest daughter, she becomes his helpmate, protector, and constant companion in the wake of her mother’s death, traveling with him when he becomes American minister to France.
It is in Paris, at the glittering court and among the first tumultuous days of revolution, that fifteen-year-old Patsy learns about her father’s troubling liaison with Sally Hemings, a slave girl her own age. Meanwhile, Patsy has fallen in love—with her father’s protégé William Short, a staunch abolitionist and ambitious diplomat. Torn between love, principles, and the bonds of family, Patsy questions whether she can choose a life as William’s wife and still be a devoted daughter.
Her choice will follow her in the years to come, to Virginia farmland, Monticello, and even the White House. And as scandal, tragedy, and poverty threaten her family, Patsy must decide how much she will sacrifice to protect her father's reputation, in the process defining not just his political legacy, but that of the nation he founded.

Blake Austin - 9 Letters excerpt and review



Meet Luke Crawley in Blake Austin's debut novel of loss, redemption, and ever-enduring love!





NOW AVAILABLE!




Blurb

Luke Cawley is a broken man. After his wife's tragic death, he lost everything that mattered in the world. Now, his life is filled with hard days, harder nights, and a steady stream of alcohol and the wrong kind of women. Nothing helps.

Until the letters arrive on Luke's doorstep.

Nine envelopes. Nine messages. Nine chances to find his way back.

Rae Goode is looking for the real thing. After fighting her way out of a string of bad relationships, she's ready for something different--something true.
She meets Luke while piecing her life together, and right away she can tell that he's different. Drawn together by fate and the desire to heal, Rae and Luke discover new ways to mend their broken hearts--one letter at a time. 

Discover Blake Austin's debut novel of loss, redemption, and ever-enduring love.
MY REVIEW:
I was sucked into Luke Cawley's story pretty quickly. And his story started out sadly. But pretty soon, I found myself chuckling at him. And getting to know his wife, Emily, was sweet. We quickly learned about her letters and what she wanted from/for him.  It was so sweet and I wanted to keep reading to find out more.  What next?! 

 This is actually one of my favorite quotes from this book and thankfully a teaser was made from it! :)


 And King!!! Oh man. That dog had me, err, Luke from the get-go. He was just being a dog and the scene at the shelter had me laughing out loud! He was a great animal and he added a great aspect to the story.  Then there was Rae.  She had a bad relationship that scarred her and wouldn't allow anyone in.  Something about Luke drew her in and she let her guard down with him.  It was fun to watch their relationship develop and for them to move past the hurdles life had thrown at them.

 But Luke's sorrow gutted me! Oh man. Blake Austin writes in a way  that makes you FEEL! He sucks you into Luke's world as he's falling apart and slowly brings you back together. This was a WONDERFUL book to get lost in.   l adored the Christian undertones to this book.  It was a part of who Luke and Emily were.  It made the story that much sweeter and watching Luke find his way through faith and family was endearing.  He was dealing with such a tremendous loss at a very early age.  Not only were we seeing Luke in the here and now, but we got to see him and Emily as a couple as well, going back in time.  It was well written and I can't wait to see what future books come from Mr. Austin.  This book is a must-read and it will make your soul happy!




Excerpt

I was about twenty minutes early for my shift, but I got up to the bar, grabbed a rag, started wiping it down, bussing some dishes.
"Damn, Luke," Jake said, watching me work. "You win the lotto or something? Royals win the pennant last night and I forgot to watch?"
"I'm just in a good mood, that's all," I said.
I thought about it a moment longer, decided I should tell him more. Impart some wisdom learned from my not-particularly-advanced years.
"When everything's dark for so damn long and your eyes get used to it," I said, "just a little glimmer of sunshine lights up the whole world."
He nodded, then grabbed a bus bin and headed back into the kitchen.
Warren though, Warren wasn't impressed. He was sitting by one of the daytime barflies, but he'd stopped talking and was just watching me. I was on thin ice, and I knew it. I couldn’t afford to lose my job. A heartbroken, drunk, angry widower is probably as unemployable as the average ex-con.
I came on at the end of the day shift. Warren liked tending bar during the day, because it meant just shooting the shit with the regulars. That day I had a smile for every customer, sparse words of wisdom like day drunks want to hear. Tending bar wasn't my dream. But to hell with letting that make me lazy. I kept the place clean, I poured drinks like I cared.
I was getting into the swing of it when happy hour kicked in and a few more people filtered through the door. Couple of middle-aged bikers, a retired couple that parked their RV out front. 
The door swung open again, letting in a little bit of that early-evening cold, and I glanced up to see a crowd of three women, with two men. One of the women was a reddish blonde, radiant. Sort of stole the light out of the room. It was Rae. Our eyes met and her smile gave the room back its light.
She'd been in jeans at the shelter, but she was in a blue dress now and she looked damn fine in either. Took my mind right off Maggie, faster than I thought it would be possible. I met her eyes, and she gave out a little gasp and giggle. I was probably smiling in surprise myself.
The crowd came over to the bar. I'd thought the other four were two couples, but I realized pretty quick that the black girl with the afro was dating the quiet white guy in a beard and glasses and tattoos, and that the other guy was trying to impress Rae. He had a John Deere hat, but his clothes were way too clean for me to buy it that he worked on a farm. I hated him, right off. I probably would have hated him if he was the best guy in the world, though. The other girl, she was tall, latina, and for some indiscernible reason was interested in the poser farmer.
Most of the time, I'm awful at reading people. But for some reason, at work I can tell you everything about everyone who walks in the door. About who's into who, about who had a bad day at work. Who wants to get drunk and miserable, who wants to get drunk and happy, who wants to get drunk and start trouble. Maybe it's some magic of the job, maybe it's just how people carry themselves at a bar. Helps with tips, that's for certain. You wingman right, and the money flows in.
Warren, he likes to upsell them drinks when he's doing that. Get them excited about the top shelf. Not me.
"Hey, Rae," I said.
"Luke," she said.
John Deere looked at me like I was the scum of the earth. And maybe I was, but if I was the scum then he was... I don't know, something worse than scum. Wannabe scum.
She introduced me to her friends. Nicole had the afro, her boyfriend was Eric. The girl with bad taste was Irina, and John Deere had some name but honestly it went in one ear and out the other. He was John Deere to me. Yeah, maybe I'm an asshole.
"So, how do you know this guy?" Deere asked, tossing me a look that said I clearly wasn’t good enough to be friend with someone like Rae.
"Oh, he came in just the other day. Adopted the sweetest dog, a bloodhound." She turned to me, flashing that dimple high on her cheek. "How is he? You guys call a truce yet?"
"King's great," I said. "I mean, he's probably at home right now, eating everything I've ever owned, but I figure I was due for a purge anyway, right?"
It was a lame attempt at humor, but Rae laughed.
"What can I get you all? Friend of Rae's is a friend of mine."

Laurelin Paige & Sierra Simone - Porn Star cover reveal




Title: Porn Star 
Author: Laurelin Paige & Sierra Simone
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Sarah Eirew 
Release Date: March 8, 2016



Blurb

You know me.

Come on, you know you do.

Maybe you pretend you don’t. Maybe you clear your browser history religiously. Maybe you pretend to be aghast whenever someone even mentions the word porn in your presence.

But the truth is that you do know me.

Everybody knows Logan O’Toole, world famous porn star.

Except then Devi Dare pops into my world, and pretty soon I’m doing things that aren’t like me—like texting her with flirty banter and creating an entire web porn series just so I can get to star in her bed. Again. And again.

With Devi, my entire universe shifts, and the more time I spend with her, the more I realize that Logan O’Toole isn’t the guy I thought he was.

So maybe I'm not the guy you thought I was either.

Adriana Locke - Wherever It Leads release boost




Title: Wherever It Leads
Author: Adriana Locke
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 Release Date: February 15, 2016



Blurb

Smooth. Sexy. Irresistible.

Those qualities equal only one thing.

Big. Freaking. Trouble. 

Brynne Calloway knows that anything that seems too good to be true usually is. Fenton Abbott and his cashmere voice, Adonis body, and a magnetism like no other clearly falls into that category. But what’s life without a little risk?

It was supposed to be a rebound, an uncomplicated escape from reality. But nothing ever goes as planned. Fenton turns out to be so much more … in ways Brynne never sees coming.





Purchase Links

AMAZON US / UK



Excerpt


The blankets rip away and Presley jumps off the side. "You need to be more instinctive. Fenton is not going to give you swoon regret."

"Swoon regret? Seriously?"

"It happens," she sighs. "I swooned over this rocker guy once. Hot and sexy and a voice—not cashmere, but more like whiskey—and in the morning, I regretted my swoon. He wasn't that cute in the daylight and he had a smoker's cough, two things I didn't see in the strobe lights of the bar.”

Laughing, I climb out of bed, too. "Want to watch a movie?"

"Let's order Italian and watch Netflix."

"I’m not really hungry. Just get me some breadsticks."

“Is that some Freudian slip?” Presley laughs.

“Probably,” I say, shaking my head and realizing I might be a little more affected than I even realize.

Kathy Coopmans - The Absolution of Aidan


The Absolution of Aidan is Book three of The Best Selling Syndicate Series by Kathy Coopmans is Now Available!


Blurb
Aidan Hughes 
I was cruel to Deidre La Russo. Said things I should never say to a woman. 
Seen things happen to her. 
Things darker than the bottle of liquor I consume. 
I felt helpless. 
Defeated. 
The memories are more tortuous than the act of her torture. 
Then she walks back into my life, only she’s not alone. 

 Deidre La Russo 
I have my reasons for leaving. 
I lived through hell. 
I was beaten, tortured. Drugged. 
I have secrets. 
I have to tell them. 
Danger brought us all together. 
Danger may rip us apart. 




Excerpt

 Aidan Hughes. I can focus on him. No, not him. Images of his bruised and battered face invade my mind, mixing with those voices.
  Aidan can never see me like this. He’s lodged in my head too. I should hate him after the things he said to me, the way he treated me after we gave in to the carnal desire we felt for each other. I know I treated the man poorly, but he just kept getting under my skin. His deep voice. His bright blue eyes. His muscular body. His six-foot-something frame. I hate him.
 Oh, I heard him, all right, demanding for me to hang on while I felt like I was going to die every time Royal pierced me with his knife. He even called me baby a few times. He’s a callous asshole. A user. A fucking tool of a man, and I don’t want to see him. I’ve gone insane. I don’t want or need anybody. They can let me die. Yes. The only way to get rid of any and all of these voices in my head is to die.
“Deidre.” An older woman comes into my room, followed by my dad. The look of concern on their faces stops me in the tracks of plotting ways to kill myself.
“I’m Doctor Jenkins. Your father here has told me you want to leave. I cannot discharge you. This is the best place for you to be. You have to heal. Now, are you in any pain, sweetheart? Would you like the nurse to give you—”
“Noooooooooooooo! Quit saying I have to heal! You don’t know what I need or have to do! None of you do!” I scream. Her body jolts back.
 I’ve fucking had it with these people not listening to me. I start to thrash in the small bed. Kick the covers off. My body is so weak I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. All I know is if they won’t help me, then I will help myself. I will get out of here. I will. Then I will die. The howling laughter, the slimy deep tones, their faces, they will all be gone.


 MY REVIEW:

 This was the 3rd book in the series and it was mainly focused on Aiden's family.  What that meant for him. How it changed and all the baggage in between.  When it came to those he loved, he would do anything to protect them.  The world in which he lives in can be dangerous at times and he learned he had to ask for help when the time came.  Otherwise, news seemed to roll off his back and he took it with ease, even if it was hard to swallow.  

 Deidre has had to fight her way back from the pits of hell.  She is a strong woman, and has a reason to be.  She realized where she ended up and had to fight each day to be the strong woman she is.  She had a family that loves her and had to cope with the trauma that happened to her, but despite that, she was making her way back in the world.

 Deidre's love for Aiden never went away and it seemed to grow stronger.  The two of them had a connection that wouldn't be broken.  Their journey was heartbreaking at times, sweet, sexy and an enjoyable read.  While this book didn't quite capture me like the others did, I did like and it and I wanted to find out exactly how it ended.  We had an intense situation that made it hard to put down and I enjoyed the way it came to a conclusion.  And I sure hope we get Dilan's story!!
