Title: Happenstance
ASIN: B00JOPR0ZK
#1 New York Times Bestseller Jamie McGuire returns to self-publishing with this page-turning YA account of Erin Easter, one of three Erins in the small senior class of rural Blackwell High School who not only share a first name, but also their birthday. Easter, raised by a neglectful single mom, keeps to herself and admires Weston Gates from afar. The other Erins, Erin "Alder" Alderman and Erin "Sonny" Masterson are the darlings of the community: daughters of the two wealthiest families in town, best friends, cheerleaders, and everything Easter isn't--and they never let her forget it. Alder has even claimed Weston since the 8th grade.

Weston is a well-liked star athlete, and the son of two prominent attorneys. He struggles daily with the pressures of living up to his family name and secretly empathizes with Easter's feeling that she belongs somewhere else; in a different life. Not until he begins sneaking nights out with Easter does he gain the courage to buck expectations and acknowledge his feelings ... both for his future, and for her.

A shocking tragedy rocks the tiny town, and Easter's life is turned upside down in the best way possible. But when the truth is revealed and everything she thinks she wanted falls into her lap, life only becomes more complicated.

Review of Finding My Way on Kindle Crack Book Reviews
Finding My Way (The Beaumont Series, #4)Finding My Way by Heidi  McLaughlin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Just when I thought this series could not get any better...it did!
It's no secret I am a Heidi McLaughlin fan.  She has auto download status on my Kindle.  I read all four books in this series and loved them all.  Initially, I wondered how much this prequel could add to this series-- since I thought I knew Liam and Josies' story.  Finding My Way added a whole new level of depth and dimension to this story. I was captivated from the first to the last page.  There were a few times that  I wanted to smack Liam and a few times that I wanted to hug him.    Finding My Way gets five huge rock stars.

A Song For Us


Synopsis:
In this highly anticipated follow-up to White Trash Damaged, Cass and Tucker have
finally found their happily ever after, but can Eric, the band’s brooding drummer, ever
let go of his past and find love?

From a small-town boy with fantasies of superstardom to rock star on tour with the suddenly famous
band Damaged, Eric’s life has not been an easy journey. Now he struggles to let go of his past of
physical abuse, a past that still haunts him. His anger is causing him to spiral out of control and he
risks losing everything he has worked so hard for.

Only one person has ever gotten him to open up about his past: Sarah, the lead singer of Filth, the
opening act on their first national tour—a fellow rocker with a confident façade that masks her own
painful secrets. But their bands’ rocky past and Sarah’s tumultuous relationship with her bandmate
and boyfriend Derek force her to keep Eric at a distance. As their friendship begins to grow into
something more, Eric has to find a way to let go of his tortured past, or it could jeopardize his only
chance for a happy future...

About Teresa Mummert:
I was a Russian spy at the ripe age of thirteen, given my uncanny ability to tell if someone was lying
(I also read fortunes on the weekends). By sixteen I had become too much of a handful for the Lethal
Intelligence Ensemble (L.I.E.). I was quickly exiled to the south of France where I worked with wayward elephants in the Circus of Roaming Animals and People (C.R.A.P.). I was able to make ends meet by selling my organs on the black market for pocket change and beer money. At the age of twenty three I decided to expand my horizons and become a blackjack dealer in Ireland. I loved the family atmosphere at Barney's Underground Liquor Lounge (B.U.L.L.). People couldn't resist the allure of Liquor up front and poker in the rear. Eventually I became tired of the rear and headed off to the United States to try my hand at tall tales. That is what brings us here today. If you have a moment I'd like to tell you a story.

Cover Reveal & Giveaway - Overwhelmed By You by Nashoda Rose

OBY_final_pick-ebook-copy

Book Title:  Overwhelmed by You
Author: Nashoda Rose
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date:June 3, 2014
Synopsis


Love is ugly and secrets will destroy you.


KAT

I don’t beg.

I don’t cry.

And I don’t give second chances.

Ream, the lead guitarist of the rock band Tear Asunder, deserves a gold medal for best dick move ever when he ran the moment he discovered my secret after two days of hot sex. Then he brings some chick to my coming home party from the hospital—after being shot.

I hate him.


Until …

Ream’s six foot two frame unfolds out of the car after being gone on tour for eight months. I stared. And in my defense, any girl would stare. It would almost be rude not to because Ream was the type of guy who stood out. Not because he was loud and obnoxious. No, it was because he was the complete opposite. Subtle and dangerously quiet. If he spoke, you’d better hope he liked you because otherwise you’d be falling at his feet begging for mercy. Except me … I don’t beg—ever.

But when our eyes locked, it was Ream’s steady confidence that had my nerves shooting off like jet sprinklers.


Then…

Ream told me he didn’t need a second chance because he was still working on his first.


REAM

Sex is ugly. It’s using someone for your own narcissistic pleasure. I did it and I hated it—until her. She was unfuckinexpected. Then I had to wreck our beginning with my screwed up past.


I don’t deserve her, but I’m selfish and I’m taking her anyway. This is who I am and it’s too late to change me.

*Warning contains violence, sexual content, and coarse language. Mature audiences 18+*
A contemporary romance with lots of angst and a taste of dark.

Bang....I need to read this now!

This looks like some mighty fine dark and twisted Kindle Crack.  Check out Bang (The Black Lotus Series (Book #1)  by E.K. Blair.  Read an excerpt below.



TITLE: Bang
SERIES: The Black Lotus Series (Book #1)
GENRE: Psychosexual Suspense / Romance 
RELEASE DATE: May 26, 2014

SYNOPSIS:
They say when you take revenge against another you lose a part of
your innocence.
But I’m not innocent.
I haven’t been for a very long time.
My innocence was stolen from me. Taken was the life I was supposed
to have. The soul I was born with. The ruby heart embedded in a life
full of hopes and dreams.
Gone.
Vanished.
I never even had a choice.
I mourn that life. Mourn the what-ifs.
Until now.
I’m ready to take back what was always meant to be mine.
But every plan has a fatal flaw. Sometimes it’s the heart

**Due to the dark and explicit nature of this book, it is 
recommended for mature audiences only as some scenes 
may be particularly disturbing.**

EXCERPT FROM BOOK:
In an instant, he's crouched down before me, hands spreading me
open wider before dipping his tongue inside me. I continue massaging
myself as he laps me up like I’m the only one who can quench his thirst.
He sickens me, and as soon as I feel the swirl of hate manifest, I turn
every part of me off and simply go through the movements I know he likes.
I’m a well-oiled machine at this point, flawless in my performance.
He has no idea that I’m the poison in his bones, making my home in
his soul. I’ve crept under his skin, and he never suspected a thing other
than everything I’ve wanted him to, but he’s made my life a hell, and
payback is a wicked bitch that comes in the form of me. I’m the devil
seeped within the cracks of him. What he doesn’t know, is that it’s
because of him that I am what I am, and he’s fallen into the cobwebs of my
lies like a fool. I guess I should love him for that, because when he least
suspects it, he’s going to give me everything I’ve been seeking—
vengeance.
