Title: Reaper's Stand (Reaper's MC #4)
Author: Joanna Wylde
Release Date: September 2, 2014

Synopsis
As Reapers Motorcycle Club president, Reese “Picnic” Hayes has given his entire life
to the club. After losing his wife, he knew he’d never love another woman. And with
two daughters to raise and a club to manage, that was just fine with him. These days,
Reese keeps his relationships free and easy—he definitely doesn’t want to waste his
time on a glorified cleaning lady like London Armstrong

Too bad he’s completely obsessed with her.

Besides running her own business, London’s got her junkie cousin’s daughter to
look after—a more reckless than average eighteen-year-old. Sure she’s attracted to
the Reapers’ president, but she’s not stupid. Reese Hayes is a criminal and a thug.
But when her young cousin gets caught up with a ruthless drug cartel, Reese might
be the only man who can help her. Now London has to make the hardest decision of
her life—how far will she go to save her family?

From Elijah’s point of view
“Okay.” Elijah finally looked up, matching his eyes to mine, searching, wanting to read my expression. Whatever he saw, he looked satisfied. “Great.” He paused. “We’re okay?” He paused once more for my answer, giving me a crooked grin.
“Yup,” I said it as if I meant it.

Review & Two Release Day Giveaways - Always by Kindle Alexander

Read my review of Always by Kindle Alexander.  I love this beautiful m/m romance.  TWO separate giveaways.   There is a blog tour giveaway (Coach purse, 3 monogrammed Always bath towels, Coach umbrella and tote).  There is also a scavenger hunt giveaway at the end of this post.  Good luck!


Title: Always
Author: Kindle Alexander
Release: March 11, 2014

Synopsis:
Born to a prestigious political family, Avery Adams plays as hard as he works. The gorgeous, charismatic
attorney is used to getting what he wants, even the frequent one-night stands that earn him his well-deserved
playboy reputation. When some of the most prominent men in politics suggest he run for senate, Avery decides the time has come to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. With a strategy in place and the campaign wheels rolling, Avery is ready to jump on the legislative fast track, full steam ahead. But no amount of planning prepares him for the handsome, uptight restaurateur who might derail his political future.

Easy isn't even in the top thousand words to describe Kane Dalton's life after his father, a devout southern
Baptist minister, kicks him out of the family home for questioning his sexual orientation. Despite all the rotten
tomatoes life throws his way, Kane makes something of himself. Between owning a thriving upscale Italian
restaurant in the heart of downtown Minneapolis and managing his long-term boyfriend, his plate is full. He
struggles to get past the teachings of his childhood to fully accept his sexuality and rid himself of the doubts
brought on by his religious upbringing. The last thing he needs is the yummy, sophisticated, blond-haired
distraction sitting at table thirty-four.



Author Bio:
Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy,
romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see
what's coming next! I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be
women's hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in
most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and
jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.
I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in
the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and
something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I
got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be
alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I
loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan
fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship.
There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world
where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.

Review of Always by Kindle Alexander
AlwaysAlways by Kindle Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided by in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free.  4.00 Stars. HEA.  No cliffhanger/standalone.

Always is a heartfelt love story that chronicles the lives of two men who meet and fall in insta-love in the 70’s. Avery is an up and coming politician and Kane is a sexy restaurant owner. During their 40 year relationship the couple navigates many of the highs and lows that most couples face while trying to balance a relationship, career and family.

Always starts out kind of steamy in the insta-love stage and then the young couples relationship moves in a more realistic cadence. There is no emotional roller coaster, love triangle or crazy drama in this book. This story is the kind of stuff dreams are made of….that kind of love you are lucky to experience at least once in a lifetime.     Please do yourself a favor and grab a box of tissues for the tear jerker ending.  Bravo Kindle Alexander and thanks for the Kindle Crack!  I love men who love men.

FYI – also check out Double Full by Kindle Alexander (this book happens  to be one of my favorite smutastic m/m books ever…just sayin)!

Black Box by Cassia Leo - Release Day Giveaway & Review

Do you believe everything happens for a reason?  Do you believe that a book can change your life?  Can destiny be rewritten? Black Box by Cassia Leo released today.  You don't want to miss this soon to be NYT best seller.  Dont forget to enter to win a Kindle 



♥ Three fateful encounters....

♥ Two heart-breaking tragedies....

♥ One last chance to get it right.

From New York Times best selling author Cassia Leo, comes an epic love story about
rewriting destiny.

Over the course of five years, Mikki and Crush cross paths on three separate
occasions. Their first encounter changes Mikki's life forever, but their second meeting
leaves them both buried beneath the emotional wreckage of a violent attack. Mikki is left
with more questions and grief than she can handle, while Crush is forced to forget the
girl who saved his life.

Now nineteen years old, Mikki Gladstone has decided she's tired of the mind-numbing
meds. She books a flight to Los Angeles to end her life far away from her loving, though
often distant, family.

Twenty-one-year-old Crush has always channeled his blackest thoughts into his music,
but he's never had great aspirations. He decides to fly to Los Angeles to record a demo
of the only song he's never performed in public; a song he wrote for a girl he doesn't
even know: Black Box. He has no expectations of fame and he's never felt like his life
had any purpose... until he meets Mikki in Terminal B.

When Mikki and Crush cross paths for the third time in Terminal B, neither has any idea
who the other person is; until they slowly piece together their history and realize that
fate has more in store for them than just another love story.

Black BoxBlack Box by Cassia Leo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided by in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review.  5.00 Stars. HEA.  No cliffhanger/standalone.

Do you believe everything happens for a reason?  Do you believe that a book can change your life?  Can destiny be rewritten?

Black Box is the story of two broken souls on a collision course with destiny. Mikki is a nineteen year old girl with a severe bi-polar disorder who is reeling from an incident that caused irreparable damage to her mind, body and soul.  She is painfully depressed and wants to try and end it all…again.  Crush is crushed by painful memories and poor decisions that led to his best friend’s death. The hottie angst filled music student and the tattooed meth-head meet again on the way to a darker destination. Their charred souls and blackened hearts are filled with grief and pain.   Is it fate or destiny that Mikki and Crush’s lives have intersected time and time again?  Can fate bring them together again to unlock their hearts and let love and light in again? Can they save each other and themselves?

This breathtaking and gripping journey is packed with emotion.  This story is all about life, death, love, pain and redemption.  Black Box exemplifies the saying “timing is everything”.  Cassia Leo’s Black Box is beautifully written and captivated me from the first to the last page.   One click Black Box now.  By the way…its official I am a Cassia Leo fan.  This woman can write.  You heard it here first…I think this book will climb the best seller lists.

Release Day Giveaway - The Lovely Trigger by R.K. Lilley is LIVE

The explosive conclusion of Danika and Tristan's story is finally here!
Lovely Trigger Synopsis (BOOK THREE: TRISTAN & DANIKA)

THE IMPACT
Tristan hit rock bottom, and no one felt the impact harder than Danika. She was forced to see, in the most brutal of ways, that love does not conquer all. Bruised, bloody, and broken she had to walk away.

THE AFTERMATH
Picking up the pieces of your life after a tragedy is a daunting prospect, and that’s considering you still own all of the pieces. But what if you don’t? What if someone else owns those pieces, and those pieces are a part of your soul?
You dig deep and work with what you’ve got.
That’s what Danika told herself and believed, every single day, for years.
Tristan and Danika’s love had failed every test that life had thrown at them. She couldn’t forget that, not for one second. And if those tests had been overly harsh, well, she wasn’t one to wallow in self-pity. The failure was the thing she had to focus on. The failure was the lesson. She had no intention of working so hard to make it out of hell without learning that lesson well.

THE REUNION
Over six years after the night that changed everything, Danika finds herself forced to spend the weekend constantly in Tristan’s company, as they attend the wedding of two of their dearest friends. It’s been long enough that she feels they can be friendly again without it destroying her peace of mind, but just a small amount of time in his presence has her remembering something she had forced herself to forget: There’d been a reason she’d gone through hell with this man, for this man, some true good to precede the bad.
She shocks herself by quickly giving in to a hunger that she never imagined could still consume her.
Even the best intentioned denial has a breaking point.

THE HARSH REALITY
After everything that’s happened, the rise and the fall, the pain and the aftermath, can these two navigate the waters of acute regret, survive the trials of coming face to face with all that they have lost, and find the strength to try again?

This book is intended for readers 18 and up.
