Above The Noise (In Too Deep Series #3) by Michelle Kemper Brown is LIVE - Release Day Giveaway

I know a lot of In Too Deep fans have been waiting for book three to hit eBook shelves.  Today is the day!  Above The Noise (In Too Deep Series #3) by Michelle Kemper Brown is LIVE.  Enter Michelle's release day giveaway below.


Becki Mowry’s journalism expertise keeps her busy as she spends her waking hours
filling a calendar with gigs and public appearances for her boyfriend’s up and coming
band, Alternate Tragedy. Radio interviews and TV spots result in sold out concerts and
rowdy groupies hot for her guy; lead singer, Calon Ridge. But, as fame would have it,
their time in the limelight also brings sabotage, rumors and false accusations. Becki and
Calon try to stay steadfast on a personal journey that takes them to the depths of fear
and uncertainty. And finally, the rug is pulled out from under the band when they must
make a transition they never dreamed they’d be faced with.

In this third book of the In Too Deep series, Becki and Calon struggle to find balance as
they navigate their new relationship while living amid the rock world’s nocturnal chaos.
But when life’s unexpected obstacles come out of nowhere, they focus on finding their
own private solace Above the Noise.

Michelle Kemper Brownlow has been a storyteller her entire life. Her debut was on
the high school cheerleading bus granting requests to re-tell her most embarrassing
moments for a gaggle of hysterical squadmates.

Breaking Away by Toni Aleo is LIVE! 


Title: Breaking Away
Author: Toni Aleo
Series: Assassins #5
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
Publication: June 10, 2014
BREAKING AWAY is a story of loss, healing, and love… where unexpected turns and heartache lead to passion.

To Nashville Assassins’ leading scoring center Phillip Anderson, playing hockey has always been easy… as natural as breathing. His life is no different. That’s until his world is turned upside down by the death of his sister. While mourning his loss, Phillip has to find a way to make his very angry sixteen-year-old niece, Claire, happy. Now, as her guardian, he discovers the only thing that seems to heal her lonely heart is dance class. But what he didn’t count on was the attraction he’d feel towards her drop-dead sexy dance teacher.

For Reese Allen, dancing has always been part of her soul. After having her heart broken in New York, she comes home with the determination to make her dance studio one of the best in Tennessee and succeeds. When she sees Claire dance for the first time, she knows the girl is bound for greatness and takes the troubled teen under her wing. Using dance as therapy, she suddenly finds herself bound to the young woman… and her hot-as-sin uncle.

However, Phillip and Reese are happy in their single lives. It’s simple. They do what they want, who they want, and how they want, but from the moment they meet, the attraction is undeniable. Soon, they are more than willing to spend just one night tangled in the sheets. But, one night turns into two, and two turns into three, until they find themselves in a repeated dance of “One Last Time” that has the potential to be something more… if only Reese and Claire allow it.

Can Phillip find a way to thaw the hearts of both the women in his life, or will he be forever trying to break them away from their pasts?

EXCERPT:

ETHEREAL (Celestra Series Book 1)
by Addison Moore

Falling in love is a lot like death. It chooses you. It decides the moment and the chain of events that will preclude the precise intersection of life in which it occurs. It uses you—treats you as though you were malleable in its warm pliable hands. It doesn’t bother to ask if you want it, or need it, just fills the gaping hole of destiny’s design.

Love. My world blooms with its beautiful never-ending ache. I would give all of my blood to my enemies to have it completely—if I knew it would satisfy them—if I could live without it. But I know the resolution. I know the end of the story before it ever begins. I must choose love. And for this, I will surely die.

It is that time in my life—a time for love and a time for death. Fate had intertwined the two, bereaved of any mercy. It is in the architecture of my being, the infrastructure. The pillars of my life had been established long ago—the blueprint written in my bloodlines.

Hot hockey player....I'm reading this one.  Check out Talk To Me by Clare James.  Read chapter one and enter Clare's giveaway.

Title: Talk to Me (Public Lives, #1)
Author: Clare James
Release Date: June 9, 2014
Genre: Steamy New Adult Romance

Blurb
*Caution: This story contains explicit sex scenes with an alpha
hockey player … who gives an entirely new meaning to the term Body
Checking. *

Finn Daley took the world by storm two years ago when he was
drafted by the NHL. The young, handsome, high-scoring player
quickly became a fan favorite. He had everything going for him: fame,
fortune, a promising career, and his pick of women. But when he
made an abrupt exit from the NHL last spring, everything changed
and he’s been in hiding ever since.
Casey Scott plans to find out why.
After interning for free all summer at the top television station in
the Twin Cities, Casey lands an on-air gig. Trouble is, the new role
is Sports Girl—which means reporting from local bars and tailgating
parties to create excitement for the hometown heroes. All while
wearing tiny team jerseys that are so tight they leave little to the
imagination.
But she has a plan. Uncover the biggest sports mystery of the decade,
and she’ll be on her way. Question is, how far will she go to get the
story?

Chapter One
Casey
I was a bloody mess, sitting on Finn effing Daley’s kitchen counter. My skin was
torn and mangled, and there were rivers of crimson running down my thigh and
puddling in my socks. It was an unusually warm fall day, so I was wearing my
favorite blue running shorts and a t-shirt—an outfit that allowed for such an
injury, and one that now felt exceedingly indecent. Especially when he was so
close that I could feel his breath marking my skin.

If I was producing this clusterfuck of a story for TV news, I would definitely
use this scene as the Teaser. That’s what I wanted to do with my life, work as a
broadcast journalist. I had learned that starting a story with blood and the hint of
sex was pure magic. It didn’t get much better for the viewing audience.

Remembering back, however, I guess there was more than just a hint of sex that
day—so there’d have to be some major editing done before it ever hit the air.
Consider this the unabridged version.

Cover Me by Carrie Elliott Cover Reveal & Giveaway

Check out this second chance romance from Carrie Elliott.  Giveaway & excerpt below.  

Title: Cover Me

Author: Carrie Elliott

Release Date: June 23, 2014

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22365335-cover-me?ac=1

 Synopsis

Derek Bast, always has the final say. In business and in his personal life, things are done his way, or not at all. So when a scathing review of his new band is published in The Scene and has his record producer second guessing his artistic choices, his band mate trying to call the shots, and Bast’s manager convinced he’s impossible to work with, it’s time to hunt down the source of his problems: Bess Halprin, reviewer for The Scene, the girl next door growing up, and his ex-best friend since senior year when she decided to hate him for no reason.

The last person Bess Halprin wants to see standing in the lobby of The Scene is Derek Bast. Unfortunately, she can’t deny that the last nine years look damn good on him. She expected to hate him. She didn’t expect the way he can still tug at her emotions, or the way his kiss—and his hands—set her on fire. Bess should’ve kept her distance, because Bast was right when he guessed her review was written for revenge. The problem is, to this day he has no idea what he did—how he screwed her over their senior year. The bigger problem? She’s giving him the opportunity to do it again, because she never could resist him.

When circumstances bring them both home to Santa Cruz, Bast earns his way into the heart of the girl next door, but when they return to L.A. and real life rushes in, will he be able to keep her this time or are the mistakes in their past destined to be repeated?

 Excerpt

Derek

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” I threw The Scene down onto the marble table in front of my band manager, Kurt Detrick. “She’s hated me since high school. That’s what this shit review is about. Revenge.”

Kurt sat back in his chair and crossed his arms. “I don’t know, D. I mean, it is a shit review, but every time I’ve dealt with Bess Halprin she’s been nothing but professional. I’m not sure she’d risk the reputation of her magazine for revenge.”

“Whatever the case,” Joe Schmidt, my record producer said, his voice echoing from the conference phone in the middle of the

table
