Release Day Excerpt - Crashed by K. Bromberg

I am racing to finish Fueled (Book #2).   I can't believe it took me this long to start this series.  K. Bromberg is seriously an amazing writer.  All of the early reviews for Crashed have been five stars...and I'm not surprised. Check out synopsis for each book in the series and an excerpt from Crashed.  


Synopsis:
When life crashes down around us, how hard are we willing to fight for the one thing we can’t live without, each other?

Life is full of moments.

Big moments.

Little moments.

And none of them are inconsequential. Every single moment prepares you for that one instance that defines your life. You must overcome all your fears, confront the demons that chase you, and cleanse the
poison that clings to your soul or you risk the chance of losing everything. Mine started the minute Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet. She made me feel. Made me whole when all I thought I could ever be was incomplete. Became the lifeline I never knew I needed. Hell yes, she’s worth the fight…but how do you fight for someone you know you don’t deserve?
Love is full of ups and downs.

Heart stopping highs.

Soul shattering lows.

And none of them are insignificant.

Love is a racecourse of unexpected twists and turns that must be negotiated. You have to break down walls, learn to trust, and heal from your past in order to win. But sometimes it’s the expected that’s the hardest to hold on to.Colton has healed and completed me, stolen my heart, and made me realize our love’s
not predictable nor perfect—it’s bent. And bent’s okay. But when outside factors put
our relationship to the test, what lengths will I have to go to prove to him that he’s
worth the fight?

Whoever said love is patient and love is kind, never met the two of us. We know
our love is worth it—have acknowledged that we were meant to be—but when our
pasts crash into our future, will the repercussions make us stronger or break us
apart?

Author Bio:
K. Bromberg is that reserved woman sitting in the corner that has you all fooled  about the wild child inside of her--the one she lets out every time her fingertips touch the computer keyboard. She’s a wife, mom, child rustler, toy pick-er-upper, chauffer, resident web-slinger, LaLaloopsy watching, American Girl doll dressing multi-tasker of all things domestic and otherwise. She likes her diet cokes with rum, her music loud, and her pantry stocked with a cache of chocolate. K. lives in Southern California with her husband and three children. When she needs a break from the daily chaos of her life, you can most likely find her on the treadmill or with Kindle in hand, devouring the pages of a good, saucy book.Fueled is K. Bromberg’s second published novel and is the highly anticipated second book of “The Driven Trilogy.” Driven was her well-received debut novel and Book #1 of the series.

Excerpt #1
And the only thing I can focus on—can grasp onto as my heart races and body
shakes with anger—is that I need a pit stop. I need to find Colton. I need to touch him, to
see him, to quiet the turmoil in my soul.
But I can’t.
He’s somewhere close, my rebellious rogue unable to let go of the damaged little
boy within. The man who has just started healing is now broken, and it kills me that I
won’t be able to fix him. That my murmured words of encouragement and patient nature
won’t be able to repair the immobile and unresponsive body that was loaded onto that
stretcher and rushed to somewhere within these walls—so close yet so very far away
from me. That he has to rely on strangers to mend and heal him now. Strangers that have
no idea of the invisible scar tissue that still lingers beneath the surface.
More hands reach out to touch and soothe me, Dorothea’s and Quinlan’s, but
they’re not the ones I want. They’re not Colton’s.
And then a terrifying thought hits me. Every time Colton is near, I can feel that
tingle—the buzz that tells me he’s just within reach—but I can’t feel anything. I know
he’s physically close, but his spark is nonexistent.

Blog Tour Promo Giveaway - The Prince of Punk Rock by Jenna Galicki

How crazy hot does The Prince of Punk Rock look?  Wait till you check out the synopsis.  I have a feeling this eBook is going to steam up my Kindle screen. Love that!  Giveaway & excerpt below.


Title: The Prince of Punk Rock (Radical Rock Stars #1)

Author: Jenna Galicki

Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 21, 2014



Synopsis
I love her, but I also love him.
It's our dirty little secret, and it’s about to blow our record deal sky high.
Tommy Blade, the Prince of Punk Rock, and this is our story.
Tommy Blade is a man with a secret. It’s a secret he only shares with one person,
Jessi Blade – and the men he surrenders to in the bedroom. Her only condition to
their tumultuous sex life is that these men are one night stands. But when Angel
Garcia enters his life, it’s like a match to gasoline.
Mega-talented punk rock singer Angel Garcia, with his smoldering ebony eyes,
tight leather pants and unstoppable stage presence, is a man who is use to getting
what he wants. He has his eyes set on Tommy Blade as his new lead guitarist, and
as his life partner.

Jessi Blade, sympathetic to her husband's bisexual needs, loves him enough to
share him, but she never counted on Angel Garcia to test the threshold of her
marriage. He makes her life hell . . . and heaven. He’s her damnation and her
salvation. She wants to hate him. She wants to despise him. But, his charm and
raw sex appeal are impossible to resist. Without warning, she finds herself falling
in love with her husband's gay lover.

At the height of it all, their punk rock band catapults to stardom.
Their lives are marred by secrecy, deception and sacrifice. Feelings of betrayal,
backlash from the sensationalistic media and threats of blackmail send them
down a hard road filled with tough decisions.
They aren't your ordinary rock stars. They're radical rock stars. And they have a
big story to tell.

She's everything to me.

He sets my world on fire.

Excerpt
The faces changed since the last time he was there, but the intention was still
the same. It wasn’t a place to socialize or partake in camaraderie or drop in for a
drink on your way home. It was a meeting place for men interested in casual sex.
The backroom served as a shanty for a quick encounter. You could stop in, get your
rocks off and be on your way in half an hour. It was a smorgasbord of testosterone,
a buffet of muscle and beefcake.
Men flocked around him as soon as he walked through the door. They always
did. A guy once told him that it was the mixture of his rugged jaw and strong upper
body, offset by the innocence of his big blue eyes that made him so attractive. The
ladies always said it was his long blond hair and the guitar.

Release Giveaway & Review of Rare and Precious Things by Raine Miller

Ethan Blackstone, a new iPad Mini, $50.00 in Amazon gift cards, signed paper back and ebooks? What more could a girl want...Wait there's more! Read an excerpt of Rare and Precious Things by Raine Miller. Check it all out and Happy Saturday!



Title: RARE AND PRECIOUS THINGS
(The Blackstone Affair Book 4)
Author: RAINE MILLER


The fourth part in the New York Times bestselling series, The Blackstone Affair: 
A bright beginning for two damaged souls fighting for their hard-won love, and the promise of a new hope to secure their happily ever after. Fresh from an idyllic honeymoon along the Italian coast, the Blackstones prepare for the birth of their precious baby and the challenges of settling into a new home. But things get complicated when specters from the past reappear to threaten the very foundation of
their relationship. Ethan and Brynne will have to fight harder than ever for each other.Rare and Precious Things is the story of two people who both need the other in order to be complete, but learn just how "rare" their brand of love is when they have to risk
everything in order to hold onto it.

REVIEW OF RARE AND PRECIOUS THINGS
Rare and Precious Things (The Blackstone Affair, #4)Rare and Precious Things by Raine Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

Rare & Precious Things is the final installment in The Blackstone series. Brynne and Ethan have been through so much drama. Their all-consuming love affair is still on the fast track – with a wedding and a baby on the way.  Brynne’s pregnancy hormones are off the charts and their relationship is steamy as ever (fanning self).   As a couple, they have been through so much in the short amount of time they have been together.   Their heart breaking pasts have created a myriad of emotional insecurities and issues for them.  In order to make things work they learn to lean on each other for emotional stability.  Ethan finally starts to open up about his painful past and embrace therapy. Brynne and Ethan end up creating their own sex filled therapeutic regimen as a coping mechanism.  Together they are getting stronger and breaking down the emotional barricades they put in place to survive. There are still a few road blocks on the way to getting their HEA…and that’s all I can say without giving the plot away :)

Ethan is dominating as ever with a never ending insatiable sexual appetite. There was a whole lot of loving going on. I lost count on how many times Brynne called Ethan “hot” and Ethan called Brynne “beauty.” Along with the heart filled sentiments, there is whole lot of explosive shenanigans going on– Ethan Blackstone style. Wow...he has a dirty sexy mouth!

Overall – I liked the way the story unraveled from dual POVs.  There was a whole lot of sex, sex and more sex (did I mention the sex?). The first 20% of the book dragged a little bit as I waited for something to happen (other than sex).  Don’t get me wrong… it was all kinds of crazy hot.  I think I was anticipating more a little more drama in the beginning from the way Eyes Wide Open ended.  Ethan Blackstone might be my favorite dirty-mouth dotting Book Boyfriend Book Dad. The ending of RAPT was a little predictable but still perfect. A must read for any Blackstone series fan.

Raine Miller has been reading romance novels since she picked up that first Barbara
Cartland book at the tender age of thirteen. And it's a safe bet she'll never stop, because
now she writes them too! Granted Raine's stories are edgy enough to turn Ms. Cartland in
her grave, but to her way of thinking, a hot, sexy hero never goes out of fashion. A part-
time teacher and writer of sexy romance stories every other chance she gets pretty much
fills her days. She has a handsome prince of a husband, and two brilliant sons to pull her
back into the real world if the writing takes her too far away. Her sons know she likes to
write stories, but gratefully have never asked to read any, thank God! Raine loves to hear
from readers and to chat about the characters in her books.

I watched Brynne putting on her makeup and I couldn’t tear my eyes away. I hoped
she didn’t notice me staring because I didn’t want her feeling self-conscious. I knew she
was a little because her body had changed so much. She was more beautiful to me now
than ever though. Our little blueberry had grown right along with my girl.
“You’d better start getting ready or we’ll be late. Hannah and her plans wait for no
man…” she trailed off, never taking her concentration away from the mirror where she
was applying some kind of dark smudge around her eyes. She had on a short black lace
getup that made me hard just looking, but she was only halfway dressed. Best to stick
with the plan or we’d never make it to my Dad’s birthday dinner on time. I tried to force
in some non-arousing thoughts about work.
“I’d much rather look at you though, Mrs. Blackstone,” I told her.

Synopsis

Our readers poll: 80% say no way!

The other 20% wish they were her!

Read more inside...

Excerpt
Walker sat on one of the stage steps, his chin in his hand as he spoke to the screaming crowd. “I need a volunteer for this next part.” His head raised slowly, his eyes scanning the crowd.
Keri jumped up and down like a crazy person, waving her arms and screaming his name. I laughed at her antics and sat perfectly still, not wanting to bring any more unwanted attention to myself.
Another tap on my shoulder caused my irritation to bubble as I turned to what was sure to be that annoying overly made-up stupid girl again.
It wasn’t.
I came face-to-face with a giant of a man wearing all black and holding a walkie-talkie. Intimidated, I took a half step back and looked around for Keri.
“Come with me.” His tone implied a demand, not a request, and I suddenly wondered what I’d done wrong.
Who the hell was this guy? He’s not the boss of me. He’s not going to tell me to come with him and think I’ll just obey. I frowned and said quickly, “Uh. No, thanks.”
He flashed his VIP backstage pass in my face as if it were the only credential he needed. “Miss. It’s part of the show. Can you come with me, please? You’ll be onstage with Mr. Rhodes.”
Oh.
Well, shit.

Author: Sydney Simon

BLURB:
After a near death car accident, Siena Carson wakes up from a coma with no recollection of who she is.

Standing in front of her are two men - she has no idea who they are, or what they mean to her- but she's certain that two separate worlds have collided.

What if these two men would do anything to make her remember what she meant to them...
Both men spend the next week talking her through her past, each secretly hoping for a future.

Would you choose the one who loves you or the one you love?

AUTHOR INFO:
I was born and raised in Southern California, where I worked in a medley of colorful jobs. Today I am a wife, full time mom, shuttle service and student, in that order. I love pop culture and music, especially from the 70's and 80's. I was too busy partying through the 90's to remember much, other than there were too many boy bands (I am grateful for JT though). I believe that things happen to everyone for reason; I hope that this path I'm on is both a learning experience and a journey for tomorrow. The One Who Loves You is my first published novel.

Calvin Parish
They call me Hero.
I defend.
I protect.
I ask for nothing in return, and that makes me good.
Doesn’t it?
That which makes me the ultimate predator also feeds dark impulses I’ve learned to control—until I bring her too close. For years I’ve watched her from afar, but what started out as duty has become obsession.

Cataline Ford
I work hard.
I play by the rules.
I’m content.
My scars are quiet and invisible, and that keeps me hidden.
Doesn’t it?
One fateful walk home, I’m taken by someone I didn’t know I should fear. Captive and afraid, nobody will tell me why I’m confined to this hauntingly beautiful mansion. I’m given everything; I have nothing. He takes what he needs from me, and for that I hate him. But I might have loved him once.
And just because you’re reading this doesn’t mean I survive him.

Blog Tour Promo Book Giveaway - Waiting For Rain by Susan MacNicol

I love boys who love boys.  Check out Waiting For Rain by Susan MacNicol.  This this new m/m romance looks sweet and steamy. Don't forget to enter Susan's ebook and signed paper back giveaway below.


Synopsis:
The village of Stamford, the quintessential chocolate box English scene, seemed an impossible dream for foster kid Toby Prentiss. Now he’s found a home among the haystacks and village fairs as the General Manager for the Duck and Drake Hotel. With the fears and demons from his youth hidden away in this bucolic oasis, he’s very protective of who he lets in. Until he stumbles across shirtless carpenter Rain Engel building the hotel’s new custom-designed bar. Working in the countryside, Rain prepared to face his biggest fear: sheep. He didn’t expect to deal with his second biggest fear: commitment. Toby’s controlled, tough guy façade coupled with his “find happiness where you can” optimism calls to Rain like nothing before. While Rain may be an exhibitionist, his romantic history forces him to hold his emotions close. As their relationship develops, secrets from their pasts drive a wedge between them: the ex-boyfriend who tore apart Rain’s trust and Toby's history with the law. But can the secrets hiding among the quirky villagers bring them together? With missing sheep, pole dancing at the winter festival, and a crippling drought, everyone is waiting for Rain.

Title: Love, Your Concierge
Author: Jessica Ingro
Release Date: February 25, 2014
Love, Your Concierge Goodreads link:

Synopsis:
Organization – that’s what I do. Control – it’s my middle name. Hello. I’m Elizabeth – your personal concierge. My job is to play fairy godmother to the rich and famous. The universal rulebook may say to never mix business with pleasure, but its author never worked for Grant Morgan, my sexy and brooding client. As a top attorney in Manhattan, Grant is used to calling the shots and dominating everything he touches. He also changes girlfriends as often as I pick up his dry cleaning. A part of me still wishes I could let him command my body and take me in ways I’ve never imagined, though. One moment of weakness is all it takes to change everything forever. Addicted – I can’t get enough of him. Consumed – He’s all I think and dream about. The book has officially been thrown out the window. I’m in love and completely terrified. With lines blurred, I find myself lying, cheating and stealing to protect myself from being hurt. But my choices
affect more than just me and now I’m not so sure what I’m trying to protect myself from.
Will love be enough to erase all I’ve done? Or have I made the biggest mistake of all?

Excerpt:
Copyright © Jessica Ingro
Arms in the air, hips swaying, I lost myself in the sounds of 112’s, “Peaches and Cream.” Matt moved up
behind me, pulling me back against his hard chest, grinding his hips into mine. His hands glided teasingly
down my arms and sides, causing a slow burn in my belly. His hand moved my hair over my shoulder so
his lips could skim along the side of my neck, sending shivers down my spine. Feeling like I was being watched, my eyes opened and looked directly into the blazing, heated gaze of Grant Morgan. I had made myself forget that he was here, but apparently he hadn’t forgotten I was. He sat forward in his booth, his one arm propped on his leg – watching me. He was the master of his domain and of his body. You could tell he was at ease with himself and knew how to command his body. He had a powerful

Spoiler Free Review of Moore Than Forever on Kindle Crack Book Reviews
Moore than Forever (Needing Moore, #3)Moore than Forever by Julie A. Richman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided by in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. 5 Stars. HEA.  No cliffhanger.

To remain spoiler free I will top-line my review – Moore Than Forever picked up right where book two left off without skipping a beat. Mia is about to undergo an emergency C-section and Schooner is on the west coast with his family.  Mia decides not to call him about the birth of their son and sh#t hits the fan.  Life for the new parents gets even more complicated.  CJ is back in full-on bitch mode and trying to cause trouble.  Schooner’s family is suffering at her lack of parenting skills.  The Moore family journey continues with a few speed bumps and growing pains leading up to a wonderful HEA.

This final installment of this series exceeded my expectations. The conclusion wrapped it all up so nicely... in such a feel good way.   MTF had a nice mix of steam, drama and romance.  What set this series apart from others is how real it felt to me.  Everything about the characters, plot and the dialogue seemed very believable. I loved Julie’s engaging writing style. She made her characters come to life in such a way that I was emotionally invested in this story. Moore Than Forever is not to be missed.

Pussy hug! Haha (Julie you kill me).

Author Bio:
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? 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 ...
