READ THIS NOW - Behind His Eyes (Consequences Book #4) by Aleatha Romig is LIVE!


Behind His Eyes by Aleatha Romig is LIVE.  I was super lucky to receive an advanced review copy of this book and all I have to say is...one click this now. My review will appear next week with the blog tour. Please note:  This is a reading companion and recommended to read AFTER finishing this series. Read a excerpt below.



Synopsis:
BEHIND HIS EYES—CONSEQUENCES is a reading companion, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig, recommended to be read after completing all three books of the CONSEQUENCES SERIES: Consequences, Truth, and Convicted. It is not a standalone book and should not be read as such.

This companion was written to explore the thoughts and motivations of Anthony Rawlings, the man behind the consequences. It was not intended as a total rewrite of Consequences, but meant to enhance the reader’s understanding. BEHIND HIS EYES—CONSEQUENCES contains significant scenes from the novel Consequences, as experienced from Anthony’s point of view. It also contains never before published, behind the scenes information, as well as, a glossary of the characters, and a timeline devoted to the events within Consequences.

BEHIND HIS EYES—CONSEQUENCES is a dark journey into the mind of the man who believes that he controls everything and controls nothing. Because there is more to learn about a man who:

Once upon a time, signed a napkin that he knew was a contract. As an esteemed businessman, he forgot one very important rule—he forgot to read the fine print. It wasn’t an acquisition to own another person as he’d previously assumed. It was an agreement to acquire a soul.
—Aleatha Romig, CONVICTED


It was a long and painful acquisition—especially from Behind His Eyes!

About the Author
I must've been 5 or 6 when I started writing "stories".  I would write them and hide them. Not wanting anyone to see my "secret" thoughts. I needed to write -even back then.  Now I'm just not hiding them anymore.  Is that a sign of maturity?  Nah .... 
Writer, photographer, insatiable wanderluster, edge-player, foodie, music addict, pop culture fanatic, animal lover, warrior for the rights of people and planet, and avid cusser (am a Native New Yorker, so very little offends me ... and if I am offended, it must be pretty freaking bad .. like bad grammar!).
I am big believer in signs and if we keep ourselves open, there are guideposts all along the way. Stay humble. Be true. Be you. Life is not a dress rehearsal ...

Meet the Author:
My name is Wendi Hulsey. I was born and raised in Racine, Wisconsin, just south of Milwaukee. After several vacations to the sunshine state, my husband and I fell in love with the warm weather and decided to have a house built in Florida. I miss my family and friends up north;however, I will never regret not having to shovel snow again. I have been a registered nurse for about ten years. I currently work on a medical/surgical unit, preferring to work the night shift.
My husband and I have been married for sixteen years, and I appreciate his support during this endeavor. I have one son who is a hard working grown man now living on his own. He has blessed me with the most precious grandson and a wonderful future daughter in law. My daughter is a beautiful and smart teenager who excels at just about anything she tries. She enjoys playing soccer and we have spent numerous hours on various soccer fields. I am blessed to have my mother, a retired cook, living with me and she is a great help with cooking, cleaning, and chauffeuring the teenager. Other members of our family include; one dog, one cat, two turtles and several fish.
My love for reading began at the age of twelve on a stormy day. With nothing to do I was bugging my mother, she said, “Go read a book.” I have never stopped. As a teenager, I preferred horror books, mainly Stephen King. As I age, my reading tastes change and I currently read mysteries, romance, or erotica. It has always been my dream to write a book. Although writing is a hobby for me, I hope to produce a book to the best of my abilities and hope you have enjoyed what you read. Thank you for your support.

Lost in Us is the story of Serena and James. Serena has learned to live with her past, locking her secrets and nightmares deep inside her. But when her boyfriend of six years abruptly leaves her, she’s catapulted back into pain, nursing a broken heart. When indulging in mountains of chocolate doesn’t work, Serena decides the best way to deal with her shattered heart is to indulge in something else.

Blog Tour Review & Promo Giveaway - Beck by Harper Sloan


There was Axel...then Cage and NOW Beck!  Check out my review Beck (Book #3 Corps Security) and blog tour giveaway! If you are looking for a interconnected  standalone series with some hot alpha males and free of cliff hangers-- this is it!



Synopsis:
**Warning** This book is intended for a mature reading**

~DEE~
I’ve always been good at wearing masks. Not letting anyone see the real me. I’m content
the happy-go-lucky best friend. The strong willed boss. The independent woman who
doesn’t need a man. But the truth is I’m just as broken as the rest of you. I’m terrified that all it will take is one person to make all my carefully constructed walls crumble into fine dust. So I guard my
heart with everything I have. Determined to never let anyone get close enough to hurt me
again.

All is perfect until HE walks into my life. No… he doesn’t just walk. He struts his good-
looking, sex-oozing self-right into my space and demands that I see HIM. Making me want
what I know I can’t have. So I did the only thing I know how to do.
I run. But he just won’t let me go.

~BECK~
The second I see her, I know she will be mine. I see past the gorgeous smiles and heart-stopping laughter. I see HER. She doesn’t want me to know her secrets or the past that haunts her, but I make it my mission to find out.

To make her mine.She can run all she wants, but it will never be far enough to stop me from coming after
her.

She’s it for me and she knows it.
She’s just too scared to admit it.

**NO cliffhanger, HEA, inter-connected standalones**


About The Author:
Harper lives in small town Georgia just a short drive from her hometown of Peachtree City. She (and her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the house they dubbed 'Estrogen Ocean', much to her husband’s chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with her ereader
attached. As an ex-reviewer and blogger, Harper's passion for reading runs deep. It wasn't until 'Axel' decided to take up residence that she realized her true calling. She started using writing as a way to unwind when the house went to sleep at night; and with a house full of crazy it was the perfect way to just relax. It didn't take long before a head full of very demanding alphas would stop at nothing to
have their story told.

Series Reading Order:
-Axel
-Cage
-Beck

I didn’t know what to expect when I picked up Beck.  I read and enjoyed the other two books in this series and didn’t really “know” Dee.   I knew that Beck was part of the hottie alpha security team and had a thing with Dee.  The couple had a tumultuous relationship going on.  Everything about their relationship came together in the third installment of this series.  Man, I had NO idea what was going on in the background....no one did!

Dee painted a picture of what she wanted everyone to see.  No one realized the pain, depression and desperation she was going though. Happy and fun loving Dee didn’t really exist.  Her best friends had NO idea that she was *thisclose* to going off the deep end.  Only one person recognized her pain, saw through her bitchy/fake façade and took the time to love and help her any way he could.  Beck was there ready to catch her every time…but would she fall too far down for Beck to pick her up?

There was a lot going on in this action packed and steamy story.  If you read Axel and Cage…you must check out Beck.  This book does not end  with a cliffhanger but it’s obvious the other Corps boys will have a story to tell.  I am looking forward to checking out Locke and Cooper in books four and five!!

Cover Reveal - Destroyed by Pepper Winters

I recently devoured Tears of Tess and Quintessentially Q by Pepper Winters.  If you are in the mood for a little dark and twisted...read them.  Check out the cover and synopsis for Destroyed.  I have a feeling its going to be really good! 


Title: Destroyed
Author: Pepper Winters
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Expected Release Date: February 2014



Synopsis
She’s a woman with a dirty secret.
I’m complicated. Not broken or ruined or running from a past I can’t face. Just complicated. For good reason.
I thought my life couldn’t get any more tangled in deceit and confusion. But I hadn’t met him. I hadn’t been sucked into his lies or taught to run from everything that he is. Instead, I let him ensnare me, seduce me, trap me with secrets—Hazel Hunter
He’s a man with a killer secret.
I’ve never pretended to be good or deserving. Despite the shadows I live in, I’m ultimately a slave to my secrets and that gives me a free pass to chase who I want, be who I want, act how I want.
I didn’t have time to lust after a woman I had no right to lust after. I told myself to shut up and stay hidden. But how could I deny her? How could I deny my one chance at redemption? But then she tried to run. I’d found a cure to my existence and damned if I would let her go—Roan Fox
And secrets silently destroy them.

Prologue
I didn’t believe her when she said she was complicated.
She didn’t believe me when I said I had secrets.
I didn’t understand the truth, even when she let me glimpse behind her mask.
She didn’t understand that I couldn’t live with the consequences.
I thought she was a saint.
She thought I was a sinner.
Too bad we didn’t try to find the truth.
We both paid the price.
We destroyed each other.



About the Author
Pepper Winters wears many roles. Some of them include writer, reader, sometimes wife. She loves dark, taboo stories that twist with your head. The more tortured the hero, the better, and she constantly thinks up ways to break and fix her characters. Oh, and sex… her books have sex. 
She loves to travel and has an amazing, fabulous hubby who puts up with her love affair with her book boyfriends. 
Her debut book Tears of Tess is followed by Quintessentially Q and Twisted Together. You didn’t think Q could stop so soon, did you? Her other two titles, Last Shadow and Broken Chance will be coming soon.
