Thank You to the Authors!

I wanted to write a post to all the authors out there that give us what we crave. To the authors that create our book boyfriends that we swoon after. To all the authors that rip us apart only to sew us back up.

I think most of us take for granted the amount of time authors spend writing, editing, deleting chapters only to start all over and do it again. I don’t think most of us realize the amount of money they spend on covers and promoters and publicists in order to get their book out there. I am one of those people that is guilty of complaining of the cheap price we pay to read these masterpieces. I can’t say it will never happen again, but I know where it comes from; and the heart and soul you put into the book is well worth the price. I had a moment of clarity when I realized I was only paying $2.99 for a book that I know should have cost so much more.

 I think one of the best things about being able to read and review books is having that rare opportunity to really be blown away by an author’s talent. I have had that happen twice in a matter of about 7 days. I feel incredibly lucky to have the chance to review the works these artists put out there.
So thank you for your time, patience and ultimately for allowing us to keep a small piece of yourself in the form of your novels.

 

Call Me, Maybe by Ellie Cahill

Title: Call Me, Maybe 

Author: Ellie Cahill

Publisher: Loveswept
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 9, 2016

Blurb

“Ellie Cahill is definitely one to watch!” raves bestselling author Cora Carmack, and this steamy, upbeat modern romance about connecting in all the best ways proves it once again. 

Clementine Daly knows she’s the black sheep. Her wealthy, powerful family has watched her very closely since she almost got caught in an embarrassing scandal a few years ago. So when Clementine’s sent on a mission to live up to the Daly name, politely declining isn’t an option. Of course, the last thing she does before boarding the plane is to grab a stranger’s phone by mistake—leaving the hunky journalist with her phone. Soon his sexy voice is on the line, but he doesn’t know her real name, or her famous pedigree—which is just the way Clementine likes it. 

Despite all the hassles, Justin Mueller is intrigued to realize that the beautiful brown-eyed girl he met at the airport is suddenly at his fingertips. They agree to exchange phones when they’re both back in town, but after a week of flirty texts and wonderfully intimate conversations, Justin doesn’t want to let her go. The only problem? It turns out that Clemetine has been lying to him about, well, everything. Except for the one thing two people can’t fake, the only thing that matters: The heat between them is for real.

Wicked Steps by Cory Cyr

**Cover Reveal Coming February 13, 2016**

Blurb

Strong language, explicit sexual situations, M/F. F/F. 18+

If anyone had asked ten years ago, I never would have imagined I’d be a thirty-five-year-old widow today.

I could tell you I married Hartman Wick out of love, but it’s complicated. We were friends. He was dying. And he needed me. He also made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Of course, I agreed with the very best of intentions. But we all know what the road to hell is paved with.

All I ever dreamed of was owning my own gallery. A place where my best friend and I could introduce the masses to inspiring and new artists. Hartman promised me the deed to the gallery, wealth, and security for the rest of my life. 

Instead, I find myself in a war with his estranged son Kieran—my stepson and one of the most prolific painters, known for his erotic shock art. He’s been plotting revenge against his father for years, and now that Daddy’s dead, he’s seized the opportunity.

Between the constant battles, heated exchanges, and threats of blackmail, I find myself inexplicitly drawn to this twenty-four-year old. He’s beautiful, seductive, arrogant, and evil. Not only is he a gifted artist, but he’s certainly inherited some of his father’s more unsavory traits. He truly is a Wick.

But then he takes things too far and pushes me to my breaking point. I’ve had enough. In retaliation, I make a plan. 

And I almost feel sorry for him—almost. I’m sure, even as a child, he was never read a single fairy tale. Poor bastard. 

He has no idea how truly wicked a stepmother can be.

Cover Reveal for Saving Kendrix by Elle Christensen

Add it to your Goodreads TBR

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25951813-saving-kendrix?ac=1&from_search=1

Alysia

I’ve lived in shadows all of my life

Feeling empty, but never knowing what I was truly missing

I’ve been taught to hide my talents and be invisible

Until Kendrix walks into my life and sees me. All of me.

I know he is my destiny, but he is holding himself back

There is something he isn’t telling me

I’m afraid when the truth comes out, it will tear us apart

Kendrix

I made a choice to give up my soul and forever alter my destiny

I embraced abilities that I’d kept hidden

But they don’t make up for what I’ve lost

It seems a cruel trick of Fate that I finally met the one who was meant to be mine

And yet, I can never have her

My job is to deceive Alysia and ultimately, to give her up

But the darkness calls to me

Tempting me to hide in the shadows with her forever

Kendrix

    Hell is often portrayed as a burning pit of fire. However, I’m beginning to wonder if Dante had it right. It seems logical to believe that there are nine levels of hell that are broken down into something like another eighteen circles. Each one different, each one designated to specific sins, and each one with their own unique atmosphere, not all of which are hot  with fire. Where I stand, right now, is one circle of Hell. But, it is cold and dark, filled with misery at knowing what I’ve left behind and what is stretched before me. I do my best no to dwell on what was, because there is no greater pain than remembering times of love and joy, when they are forever out of your reach. You cannot pluck them from the past, and you’ll never find them in your future. 

The only thing I have to cling to is my purpose, the reason I made the choice to fall into my own level of Hell.  A small fraction of my soul is tightly gripped, enough to remind me what I must do and why I have no choice but to succeed. Beyond that, I have no comprehension of what my future holds after this assignment. I’m finally embracing my abilities as a fate reader, but I am blind to my own destiny. What I see before me is an eternal stretch of blackness. 

I can only try my best not to fully succumb to evil. But, if I’m bound to live in darkness forever, is there really any other choice?

I’m a lover of all things books, a hopeless romantic, and have always had a passion for writing. Between being a sappy romantic, my love of an HEA, my crazy imagination, and ok, let’s be real, my dirty mind, I fell easily into writing romance.

I’m a huge baseball fan and yet, a complete girly, girl. I’m an obsessive reader and have a slight (hahaha! Slight? Yeah, right) addiction to signed books.

I’m married to my very own book boyfriend, an alpha male with a sexy, sweet side. He is the best inspiration, my biggest supporter and the love of my life. He is also incredibly patient and understanding about the fact that he has to fight the voices in my head for my attention.

I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them!

Allison Hayes has no idea the man she is falling in love with is a male escort. She connects with Charlie through their love of music, playing a taunting game asking herself if she loves him, hates him or if she is going to save him.

After meeting Allison, Charlie enters a world where everything he knows no longer makes sense, leaving him too scared to move forward, yet making it impossible to look back.

But can he give up his entire life for love?
