***Cover Reveal!*** GETTING SCHOOLED by Emma Chase!

We are so thrilled to reveal the cover for GETTING SCHOOLED by Emma Chase, a brand new standalone releasing on audible February 27th and everywhere else June 26th!

   

Head of the class... Garrett Daniels has this whole life thing figured out. The cocky, charismatic former high school star quarterback is an idolized football coach and "cool" teacher in the hometown where he's not just a golden boy — he's platinum. He has good friends, a great house on the lake, and the best damn sidekick a man could ask for: Snoopy, the albino beagle. Then...Callie Carpenter comes home. And knocks him right on his tight end zone. Back to school... Callie has a pretty sweet life herself...on the other side of the country. But circumstances — that she'd prefer to never speak of again — have brought her back home, helping out her parents and substitute teaching at her old high school. Now she's facing bickering, raging hormones, constant gossip, awkward weirdness, and drama galore...and that's just the teachers. Just like old times... When Garrett offers to show his former high school sweetheart the secrets of his winning teacher ways, Callie jumps at the chance - and then has to stop herself from jumping him. Good friends are all they can ever be. Or...these teachers just might end up getting schooled — hard — by love. Includes a special bonus interview with the author! ©2018 Emma Chase (P)2018 Audible Originals, LLC.

Taken by Logan Chance ~ Review by Juls

TakenTaken by Logan Chance
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



4.5 First Impression Stars!!

Taken is the first book that I’ve read by Logan Chance and it definitely will not be my last! After reading this, I plan to go and add all of his previous books to my TBR! I really liked Taken AND Xavier!! I really think he made the book for me. I loved the friendship between him and Rhiannon. I really liked that most of the book was about them as friends. The pace of the story was perfect along with the suspense. Rhiannon was a little spit fire and a pain in Xavier's butt at times. It was so cute and the cards that she made were a cute touch as well. Xavier really came out on top in the end. The revenge was sweet and so was the twist he planned! I was really shocked, and I didn't see that coming! I'd say this was a great first impression from new to me author!

Don’t Be Afraid by C.A. Harms ~ Release Blitz




Title: Don't Be Afraid
Author: C.A. Harms
Genre: Second Chance Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 30, 2018



Blurb

Have you ever looked at someone and just knew,
knew that they were placed in your life for a reason?
The one person that would be not only your best friend,
but your absolute everything.
That’s how I felt the first time I saw him.

That one day when a few little words changed our entire lives forever…

Don’t be Afraid, he said.
Life can change so quickly.
One moment you can be smiling and feeling as if you're walking on clouds and the next, everything you love, everything you treasure crumbles at your feet.

I told him to fight, I told him I needed him.
We needed him.
But there are just some fights that can't be won…

He was my angel then, and he’s still my angel now.
In a way, I believe he’s still looking out for us, giving us a future.
Sometimes it’s as if I can still feel his presence,
guiding us and keeping us safe.

So, I won’t be Afraid.
I'll live. I’ll fight.
It’s what he would have wanted.

I’ll do it for him…

5 Watery Stars!!

Before reading this, let me just say one thing. I hope your ready to read a beautiful, heart-breaking story. You will cry! That is a guarantee! I cried the entire book. Yes, the entire book! C.A. Harms split my heart in half and thankfully, sowed it back together again with, Don’t Be Afraid.

Even though it was so sad, we got to see the love that Sawyer and Patrick shared. I think that’s what made it so hard to read without falling apart. I fell in love with them. Which is why it was difficult for me to read about Sawyer's new life. I know and understand that after going through such a great loss, time does pass and life must go on. But, it doesn’t make it any easier to see it happen!

In the end, I loved it! Don’t Be Afraid just reminded me that I need to get back on the C.A. Harms train. I fell off for a bit, but I see I need to climb right back on! I’ll be looking forward to what’s next from this amazing author!
-Review by Juls







Excerpt

I buried my body beneath the covers and curled around his warmth. With my head rested just where he’d wanted it, I closed my eyes tight and willed the tears away. Doing my best to hide the emptiness consuming me, I concentrated on breathing evenly.

“Always loved you right like this,” he confessed. “Your body so close to mine it feels like we’re the same person.” 

I took deep breaths as I thought of all the reasons life was so damn unfair.

“Loved burying my face in your hair, just breathing you in.”

Those were the words most girls dreamed of hearing, and they made our love feel more solid and concrete. But hearing them now was like a slow form of torture, because they were tearing the small amount of control I had left in me to pieces.

“You were made just for me, Sawyer Cooper,” he whispered sleepily. “I truly believe that.”

I squeeze my eyes shut tighter as I curled into him closer.

“Forever my girl.”

Tears rolled along my cheeks as I did all I could to wipe them away before he noticed. I was thankful sleep had taken him over and he was oblivious to the shattering of my soul.

Midnight Blue
Author: LJ Shen
Release Date: January 18th


It should have been easy.
I needed the money. He needed a babysitter to keep him from snorting himself to death.
I was cherry-picked especially for him. Responsible. Optimistic. Warm. Innocent.
The worst part is that I should have known better.
Alex Winslow. British rock star. Serial heartbreaker. Casanova with whiskey eyes.
“Don’t get near the devil in a leather jacket. He’ll chew you up and spit you out.”
Sounds familiar? That’s because it was a headline in a tabloid the second time he got arrested.
Guess what? I didn’t listen.
I signed the contract.
World tour. Three months. Four Continents. One hundred shows.
My name is Indigo Bellamy, and I sold my soul to a tattooed god.
Problem was, my soul wasn’t enough for Alex Winslow. He ended up taking my body, too.
Then he took my heart.
Then he took my all.


Excerpt:
Nat’s words came back and haunted me like a bad haircut from the eighties. An irrational need to check the goods took over me. It wasn’t like he minded. According to the rumors, his dick had seen more cameras than Kendall Jenner. Slowly—so painfully slowly—my eyes drifted down his sinewy body. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Whatever I had in mind, though, didn’t come close to the real thing. Thick, long but not atrocious. With thin veins running through its length. “Nice view?” he groaned, tucking his junk back into his briefs. His profile was glorious. Strong jaw, pouty lips, eyes like sex… My eyes snapped up when I realized he was talking to me. “I wasn’t…” “Looking? Yes, you were. Next time take a picture. It lasts longer.” He rolled his zipper upward and flushed the toilet with the toe of his boot. He turned around and squirted soap into his palm, washing his hands almost violently—rubbing between each finger and scratching his knuckles like he wanted to shed his own skin. When he was done, he looked around for a towel. I cleared my throat, scrambling to regain my wits. “Longer than the glimpse or longer than your performance?” Casually—so unbearably casually—he wiped his wet hands over my purple dress. I gasped, moving sideways. It looked like he was about to open the door and get out, but before I had the chance to yell at him for using me as a human towel, he slammed me against the wall, bracing both his arms above my head and pinning me to my spot. I let out a shriek of surprise at the sudden proximity. Alex Winslow is touching me. Willingly, my surprisingly pitiful brain squealed. Heat rolled off his body, making my back arch and my breath catch in my throat. “Let’s make one thing clear—I could fuck you to a point of numbness without even breaking a sweat if I wanted to. Now, careful, New Girl. If you don’t keep your distance from me, I think I just might.”

About LJ Shen:
L.J. Shen is an International #1 best-selling author of Contemporary Romance and New Adult novels. She lives in Northern California with her husband, young son and chubby cat. Before she’d settled down, L.J. (who thinks referring to herself in the third person is really silly, by the way) traveled the world, and collected friends from all across the globe. Friends who’d be happy to report that she is a rubbish companion, always forgets peoples’ birthdays and never sends Christmas cards. She enjoys the simple things in life, like spending time with her family and friends, reading, HBO, Netflix and internet-stalking Stephen James. She reads between three to five books a week and firmly believes Crocs shoes and mullets should be outlawed.

***Release Blitz!*** SMOKE AND MIRRORS by M. Mabie

Facebook Cover Photo Smoke and Mirrors

Smoke and Mirrors is LIVE, 99¢, and FREE in KindleUnlimited!

Contemporary Romance| Second Chance Romance Smoke and Mirrors is the third standalone in the City Limits series. It features a new couple navigating their second-chance romance. Enjoy this love story between a fireman who has returned home from the military and the single mom he left down the street. Welcome to Wynne.

Blurb

My best laid plans had backfired. I’d thought by putting miles between myself and my first love that she’d be free to live whatever life she’d wanted, but when I came back from serving my country and Faith was raising her little girl alone, it was time to make new plans. In eight years, not a single day had passed when she wasn’t on my mind, and not a night went by when I didn’t miss her. She was fierce and stunning and didn’t need a man in her life, but when the time came—and she wanted one—the line would start behind me.
Like smoke, I’d let her slip through my fingers once, but I’d never forgive the man in the mirror if I let it happen again. She was the fire inside me that would never burn out.

The Road to You
by
Melissa Toppen
Jan 25th




 

Life is full of choices- of chances- of moments. 
Chances we regret not taking. Choices we wish we could change. 
And then there are the moments that define us. 


Kam was my choice…
The one who stole my heart instantly.



Kane was my chance…
The one who set me ablaze with just one look.



They were my moment… 
Two brothers that both owned a part of me. 
Two brothers that I loved in different ways for different reasons. 



One brother shattered my heart.
The other put it back together.
Both changed me forever.



The Road to You is a standalone contemporary romance.


The Road to YouThe Road to You by Melissa Toppen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once again, Melissa Toppen has left me a blubbering mess! As I’m writing this review, I have tears running down my face. I’m pretty sure that every book I’ve read of hers has brought tears to my eyes. Actually, “tears” isn’t the correct word to use. I’d say her books have me ugly crying... full on sobbing! Kamden, Kane and Elara’s story will have you doing the same. So ladies, keep your box of tissues handy, you will definitely be grabbing for them more than once!

As for The Road To You, I must admit, I did have mixed emotions. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it. It’s just always hard for me when one love story replaces another. Sometimes I feel that the second love story over shadows the first. It sometimes makes me feel that they didn’t love their previous love as much as they say they did. So at first, I was struggling. But as I read on, I did get some closure in believing that Elara’s heart did hold love for both Kamden and Kane. But, for me, my heart loved Kamden. Just everything I read about him had me falling for him. He really was the sweetest thing, and I just wanted so much more of him. Kane was nice to read about as well. I'm pretty sure you can’t go wrong with someone like him! Most important, he was there for Elara when she needed him. They were both there for each other in the end, I’m pretty sure that’s what matters most. The love shared between Kamden, Elara, and Kane, is one that will stay with you forever!
