*~* Release Day Blitz for Heartfelt (Heartache Vol 2) by Danielle Allen *~*




Months after a secret admirer shook up his life, Roman Harper has found peace with the past that haunted him for eight years. He’s opened his heart to Bianca Baker. He's made a name for himself in the art world. Life is good…

Until an anonymous package with a cryptic message changes everything.

When it happened before, it ripped him apart. This time around, he has so much more to lose.




*~* Review *~*

Danielle is one of favorite authors and friend. Every book she writes is amazing and you should read them all. lol Anyway, I'm on to the review.. 

The characters in this book are so awesome and funny as all get out. Danielle puts so much into them that you really feel like you are listening to your friends. Bianca is hilarious and I love her because she is so independent and refuses to be carried by anyone. The love and devotion she has for Ro is so sweet and to see their love blossom in this book was awesome.

Roman oh Roman how I love thee.. This man is amazing.. I loved him to pieces because he is so in love with B and  the things he will go to in order to protect her and show her his love is astounding. Ro is every girls dream man from hotty hot pants in the bedroom to Captain Protector outside of the bedroom. 

I laughed, teared up and got straight up pissed at moments in this book but I LOVE that about a book. Make me feel what you are writing and Danielle always follows through. thank you so much yet again for giving me a book that I can compare all Contemporary Romance books to.

I love to read and I enjoy sharing my love of books with anyone who will listen. I love music. A good lyric with a good melody can paint a vivid picture and invoke such a range of emotions. I have a soft spot for most mediums of creative, artistic expression.

In a nutshell, I am a Romance Novelist, Life Coach, Event Planner, Teacher, Karaoke Singer, and Professional Hugger.

Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Tackled by the Girl Next Door by Susan Scott Shelley & Veronica Forand



Tackled by the Girl Next Door
by Susan Scott Shelley & Veronica Forand
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Release Date: October 15, 2014




When a retired NFL player returns home to sort out his life, he finds his future in the girl next door.

Jason Black is a newly retired professional football player. Forced off the playing field due to an injury, he returns to his hometown to contemplate his future and finds solace in his relationship with his best friend, Samantha O’Brien.

Sam has spent the past five years caring for her younger brother. Home from college for Thanksgiving break, he parties hard and bullies his sister. When Jason comes to her defense, protecting her from a crowd of drunken college kids, Sam begins seeing him as more than a friend. Yet, she fears acting on their attraction could ruin the friendship she’s grown to depend upon.

Just one kiss changes everything for Jason. Sam is no longer the girl next door but the woman of his dreams. Now, he just has to convince her that his feelings are real. But when the football world comes calling again and career decisions are on the line, both sacrifice all to put the other’s needs first. They must decide whether to follow their hearts and make the catch of a lifetime.



Hazel eyes burned into hers. ”Sam.”

“What?”

“You've got chocolate on your lower lip.”

“Oh.” She reached for her napkin.

His hand stopped hers. “I’ll get it.”

Instead of his fingers, his lips descended. His gaze intense, his movements controlled, he leaned in. Slowly. Sam moistened her lips and inhaled. Dream or reality? Jason’s lips closed over hers, too warm, too firm to be a figment of her subconscious. Fireworks exploded behind her eyes. She tasted the heady combination of chocolate and wine and Jason. She fisted his sweater, holding him to her. Kissing Jason was better than she’d imagined.


Tackled by the Girl Next Door plays into every girl’s fantasy. Sexy football player falls for the girl next door.  Friends turned into lovers.  Loner girl gets the Jock. Could it get any hotter?

Jason and Sam have been best friends almost their whole lives. While Jason went off to become a football god, Sam remained at home raising her little brother.  When Jason’s career come to an end he finally comes home, and his friendship with Sam picks up right where it left off. Expect this time sparks fly and lines are blurred. 

I absolutely adored this book. It was short, satisfying and straight to the point. No unnecessary reading and drama.  This book has a little something for everyone.

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Loving Eden by T.A. Foster





Have you ever thought of packing up everything you own and moving halfway across the country?

I’m talking about leaving your entire life behind—friends, family, school—with no turning back. No? Me either, but that was before a week of spring break changed my life forever. Before I did something I never thought I’d do at twenty-two. Before I fell in love with Grey.

Sometimes happily ever after isn’t always what you think it will be.



Smashwords:  http://bit.ly/1un5YvK



 

Loving Eden is the second book in the Kissing Eden Series. I did not read book one, but that didn’t matter. T.A. Foster did and amazing job filling you in and making this an easy to follow standalone book. 

Eden has her bags packed and the U-Haul loaded for her move half way across the United States. She is finally taking the next step in her relationship and is moving in with Grey, the guy who swept her off her feet while vacationing in South Padre Island, Texas. 

Grey has enlisted Eden’s help with turning the failing hotel he inherited around.  With their relationship facing everyday hurdles and unexpected events they never saw coming, this is proving to be more difficult than they expected. 

I am a huge fan of the HEA books. This book was that for me. Loving Eden was an effortless easy to read book.  It flowed nicely and was fast paced. After reading this book I am dying to read the next. I want to know what happens to the couple, and their friends. 
Will we get a book about Laura and Mason? God I hope so.


 OUR RATING:


 T.A. Foster once spent a monthlong spring break on South Padre Island, where she soaked in the Texas sun, beach, and learned what real Texas country music is. Sometimes fiction does spring from reality.

She grew up catching rays and chasing waves along the North Carolina Outer Banks and now resides in the state with her adventurous pilot husband, two children, and two canine kiddos.

T.A. has an undergraduate degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a graduate degree in Educational Psychology from Texas A&M University. When she’s not chasing her two-legged and four-legged children or trying to escape for date night, you can find her reading, writing, or planning her next beach trip.

Blog Tour and Giveaway: SEX Unlimited by Kathryn Perez






SexUnlimited.com led me to forty one year old Brisban Calloway.

All I wanted from him was one night of no strings attached SEX.

What I got was more than I ever bargained for.

**This is the complete serial. Volumes 1, 2 and 3 of The Unlimited Series.***



WOW! Sex Unlimited blew my mind. Normally I am not a fan of novella series. I actually despise them and avoid them like the plague, but this book changed my mind. Sex Unlimited kept my mind and body aroused just enough to crave the next book. 


Going into this series I thought I was reading a hot steamy novella series that would make me want to have tons of random sex. Not the case. This book became so much more. 

This book follows two different individuals brought together for unlimited, no strings attached sex.  


Candace was lied to, cheated on and now a year after her husband left her she is ready to move on.  So how do you get over a broken heart? With sex of course.  On a whim she enlists in the help of the internet, and joins a sex only dating site.  She wasn’t expecting much, and didn’t even plan on going through with it.  


Brisban is a smooth talking man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. He doesn’t play games and knows his way around the bedroom.  


Why random sex? 


Candace and Brisban are both battling with their individual fears and anxieties. They are using sex as a means to fulfill their sexual desires, as well as to provide companionship.  They both want affection, love and everything in between but don’t think they are worthy. 


This book was way more than I ever thought it was going to be. It was hot and steamy, but it was also emotionally touching.  I loved this series and would recommend it. 


OUR RATING:



Kathryn lives in her small East Texas hometown with her family. She 's a music infused writer and self-proclaimed book junkie. When she isn't listening to music, writing or reading you'll probably find her watching her favorite sport, UFC.
Kathryn is also an anti-bullying advocate and avid supporter of mental-illness and suicide awareness.
