Excerpt Reveal
When We Touch
by
Tia Louise

Release Date: September 5, 2017

~ Synopsis ~

From international bestselling author Tia Louise comes a new STAND-ALONE second-chance romance…

Ember Rose was spicy-sweet seduction.

My biggest temptation.

My biggest regret.

I thought she’d always be waiting for me.

I was wrong.

Now I’m back in Oceanside searching for peace, hoping to escape what my life has become.

She isn’t supposed to be here…

Dark hair blowing in the ocean breeze,

Luscious curves barely hidden by thin cotton.

I didn’t come back for her.

But when we touch, I know I’ll do whatever it takes to make her mine…

~ Excerpt ~Ember Jackson Cane tastes like red-hot cinnamon, salt water, and sin. When he concentrates, his long fingers twist in the back of his dark hair, right at the base of his neck, and he tugs. Tugs… tugs… I like to weave my fingers between his and pull. Then ocean-blue eyes blink up to mine sending electricity humming in my veins. He smiles. I smile, and it isn’t long before our lips touch. I climb onto his lap in a straddle as I open my mouth, and his delicious tongue finds mine heating every part of my body. Our kisses are languid and deep, chasing and tasting. We sizzle like fireworks on a hot summer night… Eventually, with a heavy sigh, I pull away, but hours later my mouth is still burning. I taste him everywhere I go. Lying in my bed in the dark room, my heart aches, heavy and painful in my chest. Every breath is a burden. I blink slowly at the ceiling and slide my tongue against the back of my teeth thinking about hot cinnamon, tangy salt, caramel and sugar, sunshine and the best summer of my life… The instant I hear it, I’m on my feet and tiptoeing to my open window. The low growl of an engine tells me he’s there in the darkness, out on the street in the shadows just past the streetlight. It’s late summer, and the humidity hangs heavy in the air. Bugs scree from the limbs of the mighty oak tree outside my window. Their damp wings make them too heavy to fly, and the sadness in my chest is replaced with breathless anticipation. I’m panting. I’ve never felt this way for anyone, and I’m desperate to hold onto it. I somehow I know I’ll never feel this way for anyone ever again.Quiet as a mouse I scamper to my bedroom door and listen. The only sound is the hum of Mama’s oscillating fan pushing the warm air around her bedroom. I can’t hear her breathing. I can’t hear anything… except the noise of Jackson’s engine on the street below, waiting. Red-hot cinnamon. Salt water. Sin. Pressure tingles around the edges of my skull, and a bead of sweat tickles down the side of my neck, dropping past my shoulder, slipping between my breasts. I’m at my window slowly lifting the glass, and I don’t care if she hears me. I dive through the space, out onto the cedar shake roof in my bare feet. I’ll get a splinter if I’m not careful… So many reasons to be careful—I ignore them all.

Release Blitz & Review

Drunk Dial

Penelope Ward

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him. Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions. I didn’t think he’d call me back. I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become. Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. And he had his own secrets. Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake.

Review

I can honestly say that Penelope Ward blew me away with her writing in this book. It was sexy as sin without all the sex. Who knew that one phone call made at the wrong time could be soooo right for two people.

I LOVED Rana and Landon's story. Not a second chance romance in the classic sense but what a romance. This book will make you laugh, smile and wait with anticipation right along with the characters. There "relationship" doesn't taking the normal courting route which is probably why I loved this book like no other. This book is by far (IMO) one of Penelope Ward's best works and now one of my top 3 favorites from her.

Landon and Rana not only have years that have spanned between them but life events and miles. Both holding back truths about themselves until they are sure they are going to take this to the next level. Landon's understanding of Rana's hesitance and his willingness to go slow is partly what endeared me to him. Their dating not the norm but inventive and thoughtful. When life takes a quick turn, Rana has no time to over analyze the situation and actually makes the first move.

RUN don't walk and go #1click this book! You won't be sorry!

Penelope Ward is a New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling author of thirteen novels. With over a million books sold, her titles have placed on the New York Times Bestseller list sixteen times. She is the proud mother of a beautiful 12-year-old girl with autism (the inspiration for the character Callie in Gemini) and a 10-year-old boy.

Blog Tour Review

Wish You Were Here
by

Renee Carlino

~ Synopsis ~

You know when you’re looking at someone and you can’t help but smile at how oblivious they are to their own charm? That’s what was happening to me, and it was making me feel…happy. Euphoric. Something indescribable. It was like we already knew each other, like we had met in a previous life. Memories that didn’t exist began exploding in my mind like fireworks.

Charlotte has spent her twenties adrift, searching for a spark to jump-start her life and give her a sense of purpose. She’s had as many jobs as she’s had bad relationships, and now she’s feeling especially lost in her less-than-glamorous gig at a pie-and-fry joint in Los Angeles, where the uniforms are bad and the tips are even worse. Then she collides—literally—with Adam, an intriguing, handsome, and mysterious painter. Their serendipitous meeting on the street turns into a whirlwind one-night stand that has Charlotte feeling enchanted by Adam’s spontaneity and joy for life. There’s promise in both his words and actions, but in the harsh light of morning, Adam’s tune changes, leaving Charlotte to wonder if her notorious bad luck with men is really just her own bad judgment. Months later, a new relationship with Seth, a charming baseball player, is turning into something more meaningful, but Charlotte’s still having trouble moving past her one enthralling night with Adam. Why? When she searches for answers, she finds the situation with Adam is far more complicated than she ever imagined. Faced with the decision to write a new story with Seth or finish the one started with Adam, Charlotte embarks on a life-altering journey, one that takes her across the world and back again, bringing a lifetime’s worth of pain, joy, and wisdom.

~ Excerpt ~

“You’re making love sound tragic,” I said. “No”—he shook his head—“I wouldn’t want it any other way. Tell me about us. What do we like to do?” “Paint and sail and eat and drink. Just simple things.” “Don’t forget about sex,” he said. “Yeah, lots of sex. Before the children were born we "We were practically naked every second of the day.” “I like that.” “When they got older, we’d sneak away for weekends and leave them at my mom’s.” “What are they like? Our children.” “Happy. That’s all we wished for. We put our love first and it just spilled over into them and now they’re happy.” Tears sprang from my eyes and ran down my cheeks. Isn’t that what we all hope for when it comes to our children? His tone suddenly changed. “That’s beautiful, Char- lotte.” It was like he was waking up from the dream. I didn’t want to go back to reality yet, but I knew these fantasies were just to help Adam get his mind off things. “I can imagine a long life with you,” he said. “I can imagine what a great wife you’d be." I pulled my hand out of his. “The story is about you and me.” He didn’t say anything; he just nodded and then continued to stare out the window. I bent and kissed the top of his head again, and whispered, “It’s about us. Don’t take that away from me.”

~ Review ~
I should have known from the title....see I don't read the blurbs, especially not on a Renee Carlino novel. I know that what will be between the pages will take me on an emotion journey and that it will be time well spent. Wish You Were Here was that and more. Adam and Charlotte's story was beautiful, heartfelt, heartbreaking and inspiring all at the same time.

A chance encounter after a night of drinking turns into the best night of your life. Only to be faced with what seems like regret in the morning which sends you on a downward spiral. Ugh...I loved Adam's spontaneity and the connection that him and Charlotte seemed to have outside of the physical. I must admit though, that I kept thinking something was off. Again....that title.

As Charlotte tries to move on she begins a relationship with Seth. I mean who wouldn't fall for a muscular, attentive baseball player. Me...I was so invested in Adam that I truly couldn't fall for Seth or route for their relationship.

As time passes, the memory of Adam and their night still haunts Charlotte and when the reason behind their separation is revealed it broke my heart. Tears......yes there were quite a few. Renee's storytelling puts you right there....front and center. You cannot help but fall and feel for these characters.

All I can tell you about this novel without giving away the amazing story is to go and #1click! It will truly be time well spent and something tells me that we all may take a little piece of this story and keep it with us.

Thousands
{Pennies Series #4}
by
Pepper Winters

Release Date: August 15th, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance

~ Synopsis ~

“Love had been stolen from me for reasons entirely my fault. But then a miracle happened, and Pim gave me something I thought was lost forever. She gave me a love I’d earned. Love that ruined me. Love that made me hopelessly hers…”

Once upon a time, I didn’t think I’d ever be normal.

Now, I’m talking and trusting, and it’s all thanks to Elder.

He gave me my life back, and I gave him my heart, but love stories like ours are never simple.

I did something to protect him.

He did something to survive me.

We screwed up.

And now, it’s no longer just about us.

It’s about safety, sanctuary, and sin.

~ Review ~

There is no doubt that Pepper Winters is one of my favorite authors. Her writing for me is unparalleled. I eagerly anticipate the release of her novels as they each tend to be more compelling than the last. Pepper also never ceases to amaze me. Her writing captivates you and her characters draw your empathy and love right through the pages. Her descriptive writing puts you right there in the middle of the scene.

Elder and Pim may be rushing up the leader board to my favorite couple. Their story is unlike any other on many levels and but similar in a few instances. It is those similarities which made me gasp out loud while reading and left me teetering on the edge. Mixed emotions would be putting it mildly once I got to the end of Thousands (you will most likely feel the same) but I have an odd sense of calm while I sit here waiting to reach the finish line in Millions.

We get more of the push and pull from Pim and Elder. A battle of wills to maintain control and seek what they want. I truly love Elder. His restraint and self control are at their breaking point whether he is with Pim or not. The balance he seeks being pushed by Pim at every opportunity as she is coming into her own skin and growing in confidence. Determined not to let Elder keep his distance puts them both in an explosive situation. But who will come out victorious?

We find that both Pim and Elder must endure the consequences of their actions and that may be a tough road to travel. Forgiveness though given seemed to be harder to accept. Elder and Pim almost feel real and their pain and sexual tension radiates from the pages. Their story will definitely keep you tied to your eReader into the late hours.

I could go on and on about how amazing this series is but you MUST start from the beginning. You will have the benefit of being able to read 4 of the 5 books in the series without delay but part of Peppers writing that I have come to love is the suspense and anticipation of what is to come.
