Release Day Giveaway - Vital Sign by J.L. Mac is LIVE

Vital Sign by J.L. Mac is LIVE.  Read an excerpt and enter to win an Amazon gift card and books!


Title: Vital Sign
Author: J.L. Mac
Release Date: April 11, 2014
Hosted By: Romance Addict Book Blog - http://www.romanceaddictbookblog.com/

Book Description:
I used to have a great life. My little world was bright. I had no complaints. My perfectly simple life made the fall from grace that much more devastating. I plummeted from the heavenly little bubble that I shared with Jake. I fell fast and hard straight into the fiery pits of hell. The knowledge of how things used to be is a bittersweet torture that refuses me even one moment of respite. I live in a painful reverie that I can’t escape.
I had it good once.
That’s gone now.
All of it disappeared like vapor into the ether. I’m a lost woman, wandering through grief and struggling to come to terms with my new title: widow. My family says I need understanding and closure. I say a cigarette and a bottle of wine is a much better option for instant gratification.
I’m the awkward, depressed one standing in the corner making everyone around me miserably uncomfortable. I’m the one with vacant eyes that society strives to help but can’t. I’m the one who hands out tight smiles and derisive snorts. I’m the widow adrift in this world with no direction. No meaning. No hope. No vital sign.

***

Sadie sets out on a journey to healing without knowing that things will get far worse before they get better. Despite her general indifference to organ donation, she finds herself on a journey to seek out the only people who benefited from her husband’s tragic death.
Resentment runs rampant as she meets the thriving organ recipients. Anger and jealousy spiral, sending the delicate structure of Sadie’s emotions into a tailspin.
Alexander McBride got a second chance—one that he didn’t necessarily want. Alexander is a game changer for Sadie. She hates him for his health but can’t help feeling at home in his presence. He soothes her grief in a way that is intoxicating, addictive even.
The heart that once fell in love with her now resides in Alexander McBride’s chest. It’s a circumstance that forces her to wage an internal war fueled by grief, anger, guilt, love, lust, and loyalty.
Sadie must discover the things that are vital to going on with her life if she has any hope of finding her way through the all-consuming grief that dominates every waking moment.

Excerpt:
When Jake died, I think I lost a major part of my own identity right along with him. His
heart stopped only for a while before it was forced to beat again in its new home. Zander’s chest.
That heart that I had drifted off to the unremitting thrum of so many times was going to beat
on. It was meant to thrive. It had so many more beats left in it and yet…my own heart seemed
to seize. It locked down like a petrified artifact from some long lost chapter in time when I was
happy and my heart was full. My own heart, at least figuratively, had become static within me. It
was lost without Jake. All of me was lost without Jake. I had become my very own Atlantis.

Title:              Diamond Girl
Author:          Andrea Smith
Publisher:      Meatball Taster Publishing
Pub Date:       April 11, 2013
Genre:            Fiction-Romance-Erotica

SYNOPSIS:  
What happens when a 35 year-old soccer mom from Indianapolis, Indiana sends her only child off to college and suddenly discovers that she has no identify of her own?

That's exactly what happened to Samantha (Sammie) Dennison. Her marriage was loveless from the start; her 'mannequin' husband has his own agenda which has never included her, and she feels lonely, ignored and downright frumpy.

Her best friend tells her to get a life, and that's exactly what Sammie does, starting with a Kickboxing/Pilates class to get into shape, and then continuing her regiment by signing up for pole-dance lessons. Sammie graduates at the top of her class, and ultimately ends up with a secret career as a pole dancer at a Gentleman's Club in Indy called 'Jewels.'

Known only by her dancer name, "Diamond," she is well on her way to finally carving out a secret life and identity all of her own that brings excitement and mystery to her otherwise mundane existence. The thrill of the dance and sexuality she discovers within herself is a potent mixture, but it's all about the dance with Sammie.

That is, until bad-boy biker Slate enters the picture. He is the ultimate 'alpha' male and quickly draws the attention of the dancers - including Sammie. Slate is a 'prospect' for the notorious Outlaw Motorcycle Club, but he is also inexplicably drawn to "Diamond." Sammie is totally out of her league with Slate and the dangerous people he associates with in Indianapolis during the summer of 2012.

Meanwhile, Samantha's husband, Jack is up to something.  It involves her father's business, Banion Pharmaceuticals, where Jack holds a high-level position.  Unbeknownst to anyone, the Feds are involved, and their investigation will lead to many surprises, and innocent people will become targets as a result of Jack's greed.

No spoilers here, but something BIG is brewing in Indy; and it ain't about race cars either!

'Diamond Girl' will keep the reader on the edge of their seat from beginning to end; this book has it all: passion, erotica, romance, danger and possibly more . . . much more.


Note:  This book is based loosely on actual events that occurred in Indianapolis, Indiana in the summer of 2012 which led to massive arrests involving certain members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club after a two-year investigation conducted by various federal agencies, including undercover FBI agents.  The names have been changed to protect the parties.  Other events depicted in this book are purely fictional for entertainment purposes.

Because of Kian by Sibylla Matilde is LIVE

Because of Kian I will never look at a purple rope in the same way ever again.  My review to follow next week!  Enjoy Kian.



**Mature Content, Abuse, Sexual Situations, Adult Situations, Strong Situations, Strong Language **

I know I’m twisted. Growing up in a perfectly well-adjusted home, I don’t really have
an excuse. But no matter… I realize how messed up I am. And therapy can only do so
much.

I pushed my boyfriend to violence, a violence he couldn't control. Sickly, I almost liked
it. So I pushed him more. Before long, the pain outweighed the pleasure and the loss
I sustained shattered me. So I ran. I’m now a bit shell-shocked harboring a lot of guilt.

My boyfriend is now my ex and wants revenge. He wants me to pay for turning him into
the monster he’s become. And I still have a deviant yearning that I don’t understand. My
own monster inside… my own demon to battle.

I can’t get close to anyone. I can’t give in and scratch that itch. I can’t wreck someone
And now there is Kian… my rescuer on a dark, painful night. He sees through my
pretense. He tries to pull me from my frightened isolation, to keep me from becoming a
victim. He forces me to face my warped desires and shows me that pain doesn’t really
have to truly hurt.

He wants to show me a way to serenity. But I am afraid… Will I ruin a good man?

Sibylla Matilde grew up in the mountain valleys of Southwest Montana exploring the dusty Old West gold country on the back of a horse. She attended a two-room schoolhouse beginning in 1st grade & had the same teacher until she changed schools after 7th.
Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla discovered historical romance, feeding off of work of Jude Deveraux & Lisa Kleypas. She loves a book that can make the reader run the gamut of emotions, from the sweet glow of new love to gut-wrenching heartache. She is a true romantic & always has stories floating around in her head, living in a fantasyland until she writes them down to free them.
Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-loving mother, Sibylla was raised to treasure music that digs deep into the psyche, drawing out elation, sorrow, grief, desire. The soundtrack to her life includes many genres spanning centuries. She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (ratherobsessively, actually... but, really, how can you NOT be crazy about this guy!? Jared Leto. Shhh.</ strong>) & pimps them out to all her friends through Spotify. She also delights in Met HD broadcasts at her local movie theater & hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte.

Sibylla lives with her husband and hero who saved her from her own calamitous, young-adult self.
He makes her laugh daily, even when things are tough. He's proved to her that love really can heal a
shattered soul. In 18 years, they have never had a fight, although argue regularly with their two teenage
kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their father’s quick wit (unfortunate as it is a quick wit that
Sibylla, herself, definitely does not possess – there is a reason she is a writer & not a stand-up
comedian). They live a quiet life with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers & little yap-dogs? OK, maybe not so quiet.

Sexy, steamy and sweet all at the same time.... I love this delicious fairy tale.  Check out my review of Finding Autumn by Beth Michele.  Enter to win one of two $10.00 Amazon gift cards.


Title: Finding Autumn
Author: Beth Michele
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance Novella
Release Date: March 27, 2014

Goodreads:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20892871-finding-autumn?ac=1
Synopsis
A Novella 
My name is Autumn Winters.
The truth is, that's the biggest lie I've ever told. My real name is Olivia Redmund. Autumn Winters is the curtain I hide behind. You see, I write bestselling erotic romance novels. But my life is far from erotic. The only fantasy exists in my head. The day I met Hunter Grayson, that all changed. A handsome stranger on a train who turned my world upside down, made me think and feel things I never knew were possible. But he's hiding, too. What happens when I slowly realize that who I truly am is more similar to who I'm pretending to be? I want to be brave enough to tell the world, but the fear is crippling. Fear of myself. Fear of the unknown. Fear of what others will think. But life is too short to be afraid. And I'm so damn tired of hiding.
**This is an Adult Contemporary Romance and due to strong language and sexual content, is not intended for readers under the age of 18.**
Finding Autumn by Beth Michele
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC kindly provided by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. No cliffhanger. HEA. 5.0 stars.

Finding Autumn by Beth Michele is one hella of a novella. It’s short, sexy, steamy and sweet all at the same time.  I devoured this book in one sitting and it was the perfect indulgent escape. It's a novella (124 pages) but it didn’t feel rushed or cut short.   I’m a big fan of Beth’s and love her other books.  Beth normally doesn’t write steamy books…and I like that she ventured out of her comfort zone.  She’s so talented. I never thought I would be thanking Beth for fogging up my Kindle screen…but here I am saying thanks for this delicious fairy tale. 

ALSO check out Beth Michele’s other books: Love Love, Lovely and Scarred Beautiful.

Stop reading this and go one click Finding Autumn.  I hope Beth writes another book and makes this a series.  More Hunter please!

Excerpt
“Shit,” I mumble to myself when I spy the pink vibrator, glaring proof of my non-existent sex life now on public display.  “God damn it,” I utter again, shaking my head and scrambling to grab it, when I notice a pair of beautiful, masculine hands scooping up my belongings.  Completely mortified, my cheeks flush a deep red, and I’m silently praying he hasn’t spotted my favorite sex toy.
My eyes make their way from the ground, climbing past the hands and up the length of strong, muscular arms to an absolutely gorgeous face, and I take a hard swallow.  A chiseled jaw with a hint of stubble, irises the color of aged brandy, a sharp, sculptured nose, and perfectly tousled hair that matches his hypnotic eyes.  I don’t realize that I’m staring until his lips quirk up into a grin.
Could I be any more obvious?
He tosses the items back in my purse and nods toward the vibrator.  “I’ll let you handle that one,” he offers, his voice a rich timbre to my ears.  “Although,” he whispers, leaning in close, “I’m sure I could put it to good use.”
My mouth drops open in surprise, just as he reaches his thumb out to skim my bottom lip.
“I’m pretty sure I could put this sexy mouth to good use, too.”
About the Author
Beth Michele is the author of Love Love, Lovely, Scarred Beautiful, and Finding Autumn. She is a Connecticut native who loves spending time with her husband and two children.  If you can’t find her, though, she’s probably hiding out with her kindle anywhere she can find a quiet spot.  She has an affinity for Twizzlers and is a hopeless romantic and a happily ever after fanatic.

Unexplainable (Unexpected, #2)Unexplainable by Amity Cross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided by in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. 4.00 stars. Cliffhanger.

Blair and West hit the road on a 50 stop international tour. Blair packs up the few things she owns including a truckload of emotional baggage and decides to give West a chance.  West manages to break down the hardened shell she has built around her heart.   Their relationship goes from lust to must, and these two can’t get enough on each other.  Life on the road is not a 24/7 party for rocks new “it” couple.  West is still battling addictions, and Blair is starting to get tired of dealing with groupie sluts and the bands' ass clown band manager. Can West and Blair learn to trust? Is Blair just Wests' latest addiction?

What a kick ass second book from newbie Aussie author Amity Cross. I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this hidden gem. Book two exceeded my expectations. I was a little bummed that there's a cliffhanger...but I have to say I'm over it. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment in this sexy, dysfunctional rock and roll tale of the heart.
