Synopsis - 
When Katherine “Kate” leaves for her freshmen year at college, a grounded and stable piece of her is missing.  She pushes away the ghosts of her past, determined to start her college life single, carefree and distracted. 
Throughout high school Kate was reserved and shy, with little experience.  Now, on her own, with little holding her back, Kate is ready to branch out.  She bonds with a tight knit group of friends and even starts casually dating.  What starts out as innocent flirting on the tennis courts slowly turns into a friendship and eventually something more complex.  Reed comes into her life giving her the distraction she craves more than anything; but is she ready to give her heart away so easily?

Things get complicated when Kate’s ex-boyfriend and first love continues to pursue her.  Kyle deeply regrets breaking her heart when he left for college the year before and is now on a mission to reclaim her.  Kyle’s persistence and relentlessness is nothing short of obsessive.  He will stop at nothing to win her back and prove his love.

Kate finds herself torn between her past and the unknown of the future.  Her determination to stay distracted may just be her downfall or the beginning of something new and wonderful.  

Excerpt -   

Once we reach the bottom of the stairs, I gain my confidence and take his hand leading him to the dance floor. 
“Let’s dance!”  I don’t give him time to respond, nor do I stop to look at his face to see his expression. 
Instantly, Maggie spots me and her eyes light up like a deer in headlights.  I smile and threw my head back as I grab onto Reed.  I start swaying my hips and moving provocatively to Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado.  The look on his face is priceless.
“You don’t fool me, little girl,” he whispers in my

Blurb Tour Organized : SMI Promotions http://www.smipromotions.com/

Second Chance Hero Blurb:
He owns me. Completely, irrevocably. He always has. My heart, body and soul belong to this man and I wouldn't have it any other way. I just hope I'm not too late...'

Two best friends. One Christmas. Unpredictable events that tear a perfect friendship apart.

Jenna Rivera changed after the night on the beach where her heart was broken and she lost everything she thought she had. Gone is the girl who was raised by the sea, replaced by the city girl she swore she'd never be.

Deacon Reid, owner of D R & Son Property Development and the town playboy spends his days avoiding everything his life was before the death of his father five years ago. After losing his dad and his best friend in the same night, Deacon went in search of the trait girls...

Five and a half years, countless one night stands and a stockbroker boyfriend later, Jenna and Deacon reunite. The past and present collide as they mask the all consuming love they feel for each other with a dangerous cocktail of anger, jealousy and lust.
Deacon makes it his mission to win Jenna back, to save her from the years of pain he caused. He swears to be her hero, grasping with both hands at their second chance at the kind of love many dream of .

In life nothing is certain, and every day must be treated as if it's your last. Can they save their love, and each other, before it's too late?

Author Bio:
I wrote a poem when I was nine years old called 'Without You' and it was published in an anthology. That is where my writing journey began.
I bounced around between jobs and career ideas for a long time before I decided I wanted to take writing seriously. With nothing but college level qualifications and a mind full of inspiration, I sat at my desk and scribbled plan after plan onto A5 paper. In a few hours I had planned six novels including a trilogy. A full time mother to an energetic little boy, I thought writing and publishing was a long shot, and something I would keep in a drawer to read to myself, afraid to share what I had written.
But here I am, an independent author, full time mother and insomniac.
I write sexy contemporary romance with a twist. Most of my stories are every day occurrences, things often thought of as irrelevant, although they affect and consume peoples lives every day. I create strong characters, emotional story lines and journeys with no simple road to the desired destination. Life isn't about where you end up, it's about the paths you take to get there and the people and events you encounter on the way, and that is what I aim to show with my writing.
I have many more stories on the way, and I hope everyone who reads, enjoys them and is able to relate to them in one way or another.

Synopsis for Let Love Heal:
Perfection.  We all strive for it, but what happens when the desire to be perfect consumes you?  What happens when the need to bury your mistakes blinds you?
Melanie Crane has always been the perfect daughter, friend, student – she’s been perfect at everything, in fact.  But when she lets her insecurities, the ones that she keeps hidden from everyone, get the best of her, she falters in her pursuit of perfection.  Melanie crumples under the pressure and buries her pain.  Numbed by sadness and guilt, she is determined never to let anyone find out how broken she really is.
Bryan Mahoney may appear to have everything in order.  He’s charming, witty and completely swoon-worthy. In short, Bryan has life all figured out, but appearances can be deceiving.  When the landscape of Bryan’s family changes in an instant, he’s left to pick up the pieces.
Not all bruises leave a mark. Now, weary and afraid, Melanie and Bryan must find a way to let love heal their broken and jaded hearts.

Author Bio:  
I’ve always been an avid reader.  Majoring in English Literature was a no brainer.  Becoming a teacher and instilling my love for reading into my students was also a no brainer.  I’ve spent the last ten years teaching and I’ve loved (mostly) every minute of it.  When I was home on maternity leave for my third son, I discovered a new genre that sparked my creativity.  My passion for writing sprang from my love of reading and once I knew I had a story to tell, I couldn’t wait to get it out there.  I only hope that my readers enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Hell’s Knights (The MC Sinners #1)

Author: Bella Jewel
Genre: Biker Erotica
Hosted by: Love Between the Sheets

HELL’S KNIGHTS SYNOPSIS
Sex. Who really knows sex? I mean, we've all had sex, great sex even but when you get down to the details, how many of us actually see sex for the raw, primal act that it is?
I thought I knew sex. I've had sex. Heck, I've felt lust. Once, I've even felt love. I thought I knew exactly what sex was. 
Until I met Cade.
He's the meaning of sex. 
He's a biker.
He's dangerous.
He's powerful.
He's dominant.
He wants me.
My world is about to change, for the better? I don't know. But here's my story, I hope you're ready for it because it's not the beautiful, heart wrenching story most people have to tell. It's passionate, forbidden, morally incorrect and downright, fucking beautiful.

But then there's Ciara, the sister of his deceased wife. She's beautiful and damned determined to throw herself into his life in hopes they can reform an old friendship, but Spike won't hear of it, and Ciara refuses to give up.

Double Review: Hells Knights & Heaven’s Sinners by Bella Jewel.

Hell’s Knights
Gritty, raw, smutastic and a little disturbing….just what I want in a…it’s a biker book.  Two lost souls find each other.  Addison is a train wreck when she comes to live with her MC biker President father after her mother tragically dies.  Additions’ upbringing wasn’t filled with play dates and family outings.  Her mom was a junkie prostitute who didn’t care that her daughter was being violated by one of her clients or pimp.  She meets her father and falls for Cade…a member of her father’s MC club. Cade is a smoking hot alpha male biker who is filled who is living with so much remorse and regret.  Addison and Cade’s worlds collide…will the power of love be able to save this two? Will the MC life be too much for Addison to handle? HK was my favorite out of both books. It’s a solid MC read with a lot of steam, drama and a HEA.  What a perfect mix!

Heaven’s Sinners
Heaven’s Sinners is the story of Spike (Danny) and Ciara.     HS picks up where Spike and Ciara left off in book 1.  Ciara has been in love with Danny since they were kids…but she never acted on her feelings fearing it would destroy their friendship.  Danny (who also loved Ciara) stole her heart, took her virginity…and then married her sister. Hello disaster!   After her sister is out of the picture permanently – Ciara and Danny try and work through their past issues and Ciara gets up close and personal with Spikes…Spikes.  I’m still trying to picture this piercing.  Hmmmm…might have to Google it.  Ouch? HS is a quick and steamy read and a perfect addition to this kicking MC series.  I have to say out of the two books, Hell’s Knights is my favorite….but you can’t go wrong reading Heaven’s Sinners. Heaven’s Sinners will definitely have you de-fogging your Kindle screen from some of the sex scenes.   HK fans will love that Cade and Addison are also in book two as well.
