Cover Reveal ~ THE PLAY by Karina Halle











A troubled Scottish rugby player who doesn't play by the rules.
A vivacious man-eater who's given up on love.
When it comes to Lachlan and Kayla, opposites don't just attract - they explode.

Kayla Moore has always been comfortable with her feisty, maneating reputation. At least it was fine until she hit her thirties and saw her best friends Stephanie and Nicola settle down with Linden and Bram McGregor, leaving Kayla to be the odd one out. Tired of being the third wheel with nothing but one-night stands and dead-end dates in San Francisco, Kayla decides to take a vow of celibacy and put men on the backburner.

That is until she lays her eyes on Linden and Bram’s cousin, hot Scot Lachlan McGregor. Lachlan is her sexual fantasy come to life – tall, tatted, and built like a Mack truck. With a steely gaze and successful rugby career back in Edinburgh, he’s the kind of man that makes her want to throw her vow right out the window. But Lachlan’s quiet and intense demeanor makes him a hard man to get to know, let alone get close to.

It isn’t until the two of them are thrown together one long, unforgettable night that Kayla realizes there is so much more to this brooding macho man than what meets the eye. But even with sparks flying between the two, Lachlan can’t stay in America forever. Now, Kayla has to decide whether to uproot her whole life and chance it all on someone she barely knows or risk getting burned once again.
Sometimes love is a game that just needs to be played.

While I haven't read it yet, and it could be amazing or utter shit,....SHE DID IT! She took the plunge and put herself out there for the book world to either love or hate. That takes some balls. So, without further ado, here is her HOT cover & synopsis for WRONG.


Wrong by Jana Aston 
Publication date: October 7th 2015October 7th 2015

I have a history of picking the wrong guy. Gay? Player? Momma’s boy? Check, check and check.

Now I can’t stop fantasizing about one of the customers at the coffee shop I work at between classes. It’s just a harmless crush, right? It’s not like I ever see this guy outside of the coffee shop. It’s not like I’m going to see him while attempting to get birth control at the student clinic. While wearing a paper gown. While sitting on an exam table. Because he’s the doctor.  Shoot. Me.

New Release & Review ~ Now Leaving Sugartown by Carmen Jenner



Title: Now Leaving Sugartown
Series: Sugartown #4
Author: Carmen Jenner
Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance
Release Date: March 11, 2015
Review copy provided by author





Synopsis


Pepper Ryan grew up the troublesome, spoiled child of a rock god. With her less-than-stellar parentage, and the bipolar disorder that has plagued her existence, to say this little firecracker is a handful would be the understatement of the century.

Sammy Belle spent more than half his life saving Pepper. He’d been her strength, her sanity, and the protective brotherly figure she never wanted to have.

They were never meant to be together.

They gave in anyway.

And just when Sammy thought he had everything he wanted, Pepper ran.

Now twenty-three, Pepper returns to Sugartown, a failed tattoo artist with one too many screws loose who’s down on her luck, wielding an ice cream van as beaten up as her heart.

Sugartown’s most coveted bachelor has always been content with the quiet life he leads until Pepper, the hellion from his past, returns to test his strength, his patience, and perhaps even his sanity. But two can play at that game, and Pepper is about to learn that Sam can give as good as he gets.

Can this good country boy survive Pepper’s cruel city world, or will the whole thing be put down to a bout of temporary insanity?

One thing is for certain:

He’s crazy about her.

She’s just crazy.

Warning: Intended for an 18+ audience. Contains sexual content, oodles of profanity, a firefighter so hot you may need a very cold shower, and one pink-haired crazy Harajuku girl.

My Review

Holy Hell! Carmen Jenner made me cry like a little baby, not just once.......not twice.....but a bunch of times! This story was so EMOTIONAL. It broke my heart reading it. I felt so much for Sam and Pepper and wanted desperately for them to be together......but sometimes that's not always whats best.
Sam was so sweet, sexy, strong & stable
Everything Pepper needed, but didn't want.
Pepper was a force. Feisty, seductive, emotional and had powerful demons. These demons caused her to run from Sam years ago, but the pull of him brought her back to Sugartown. 
It was fun to see the whole gang again in this last book of the series. Granted many years have passed since Greetings From Sugartown, but everyone is pretty much the same. 
We learn early on that Pepper has some issues that are holding her hostage. When the extent of these issues is revealed it is heartbreaking. You want Sam to help her. Pull her together. He has always been her rock in the past.....but he learns that he might not be able to be what she really needs.
As they get reacquainted with each other we learn about how they grew up and what their relationship was like from the beginning. And in true Carmen fashion they do things that just make you want to say "pull your head outta your ass!!" but that is what makes the story so great!
This was truly a fantastic read! Sam was everything I could have hoped for in a heroine. The perfect match for Pepper. Would he be able to do what needs to be done for Pepper's well being? Will Pepper be able to accept that help that she desperately needs?
Bravo Mrs. Jenner! A fantastic conclusion to your series.

Blog Tour ~ Unhidden by Dina M. Given



Title: Unhidden (The Gatekeeper Chronicles, Book #1)
Author: Dina M. Given
Release Date: December 29, 2014
Book Genre: Adult Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance
review copy provided by author

Goodreads:


Book Description:
It’s not always easy to differentiate between the good guys and the bad guys, especially when a trained killer may be falling in love with her evil hunter…

Emma Hayes, a former military Special Forces Operative turned mercenary-for-hire, finds her tightly controlled world turned upside down when she becomes the target of attacks by powerful supernatural creatures.

Emma must use every skill in her arsenal to stay alive as she tries to solve the mystery of why she has been targeted. Her list of enemies keeps growing - from Zane Shayde, an evil Mage, to a secret branch of the US government - and she doesn't know if there is anyone left she can trust. 

To complicate matters further, Emma is inexplicably drawn to Zane in a way she does not quite understand, even knowing her life is forfeit if captured. Who is he and why does he have this affect on her? How can she fight someone who calls to her, body and soul?

Emma is left haunted by questions, doubts and fears as to why she has been targeted, when they will come for her next, and how she will possibly survive against an enemy she doesn't understand.

Review
Have you ever gone on a reading binge....where you only read certain types of books? Like for a  month only reading ROMCOM and then get into a book slump because they all blend together? This happens to me all of the time and the only way to get out of the book slump is to switch up what I'm reading. That brings me to Unhidden. I haven't read a PNR (Paranormal Romance) in a while and thought it sounded interesting. And it was. It starts out with a bang and really never stops. It checks all of the PNR boxes. Faries, shifters, vampires, and Mage's. Definitely something for everyone. Emma is bad ass and isn't afraid of the hard decisions and loves to dole out ass kickings! I loved her! That being said, the story did not blow me away. I enjoyed the world building and some of the characters really were a lot of fun....but I didn't feel much of a connection between Emma and anyone else. Maybe this was on purpose? There are underlying things going on in the story that might be revealed in the next book that could explain the disconnect...or it could just be me. Either way, if you enjoy PNR I would suggest you give this book a read.

Blog Tour ~ The Future Without Hope




The Future Without Hope
(The World Without End #3)
by Nazarea Andrews
published November 20, 2014
review copy provided by author
Amazon
Barnes & Noble

Synopsis
Separated from Finn, captive of the Order, Nurrin has no hope left. But she has survived twenty years of zombies--and she has the unshakable faith that Finn will find her. 

But Finn is a long way away. The Order's influence runs deeper than was ever suspected, and politics are shifting--and zombies may not be the most dangerous thing she's facing. 

Finn always thought the war stripped him of all he had to lose. But with Nurrin missing and doors closing in his face, he realizes there is always more for the world to take--and he will drag the remains of civilization down with him before he gives up on the only promise that matters.

My Review 
The Future Without Hope is the 3rd book in The World Without End series. I hope at this point you have read The World Without A Future & The Horde Without An End……..if not get on it! They are on sale right now for 99cents!
So, at this point in the story……..Nurrin has been taken by the order. The first part of the book is about this. Nurrin learning what the order really wants from her and surviving long enough for Finn to find her. That is her only hope. Terrible things happen to her during this time, but this ends up making her stronger and even more determined to survive to exact her revenge! I’m mean….some of the people in the order are down right crazy!
Finn has one hell of a time finding Nurrin (I mean…was there really any doubt that he would?). He must align himself with people from his past that he does not like/trust and make promises that he finds hard to keep. In the end, it’s worth it because he does rescue her and the other Firsts from the order. When he finds out what happened to her, he loses it a bit.
I don’t blame him. It’s obvious that he has feelings for Nurrin (and that she has feelings for him as well). The two of them have definitely had their ups and downs….but there was always that underlying sexual chemistry. There was a lot more interaction between the two in this story (THANK GOD!) and it was HOT….like super hot, steamy, fan myself hot. Maybe this was 2 ½ books worth of sexual build up but I didn’t care. I was INTO it. But of course, it can’t last too long with these two. It’s the Love/Hate thing. Nurrin wants to know more about Finn’s past (and she does learn more in this book) and Finn just wants her to want him and focus on the future. I have a feeling that they will work things out (They better!).
Towards the end of the book things really start to pick up and change. At this point I thought this was the final book and was wondering how this was going to end?? It soon became obvious that there was going to be another book because there was NO WAY it could end like this. Nurrin wants to fight because she feels like there is no hope in the future, and Finn wants to take Nurrin away from everything and just keep her alive. Everything that they thought they knew, they didn’t. If Finn follows Nurrin into the Horde there is no telling what the future will hold.
This is my review from book one (The World Without A Future) and pretty much all of it still holds true for this book, except for the age thing, everything has been cleared up for me on that issue.

Could not put this book down! Started it last night....and done this morning. It was captivating, thrilling, and sexy! Not the typical Zombie Apocalypse book. Great premise & just enough back story coming through to keep you guessing as to where the story is going. The main characters are strong, if at some points unlikable (which I tend to like in my leading men), determined and have a will to survive. I was questioning the ages a bit. That is not quite clear for me (except the female lead, her age is important), but the rest.....not sure how that works with the time line. But all in all an griping story!

I am SO looking forward to the 4th book! Which hopefully will be coming out summer of 2015

Blurb
When I was ten, my father indoctrinated me into the family.
A brotherhood who would fight, protect, and give their lives for one another. A club whose ties ran thicker than blood, murkier than the dirt and grime that tainted my soul. Stronger than the bonds that connected me to my own family.
A band of brothers where loyalty was kept and paid in a currency of blood.
When I was twenty-seven, I betrayed that brotherhood.
I’ve spent every day since running, avoiding paying back that debt.
My name is Daniel Johnson, and I have betrayed everyone I ever loved.
This is my story—if you’re screwed up enough to want to read it.
Warning: KICK contains graphic violence, profanity, drug use, and explicit sexual situations of a taboo nature. Intended for an 18+ audience only. Not intended for pussies.
