Release Tour & Giveaway: Until Jax (Until,#2) by Aurora Rose Reynolds



Meet Jax and Ellie in this instalove, alpha romance!
Until Jax is LIVE!  #Boom

Now Available at the following retailers:


Blub:
Ellie Anthony isn’t looking for love. She isn’t even looking for a man, but when Jax Mayson insists on keeping her and her daughter safe, she’s left with no choice but to trust him. Now she just hopes she doesn’t get hurt when she falls hard for a guy who’s known for breaking hearts.

Jax Mayson knows that Ellie is his BOOM the moment he sees her. When he finds out she has a daughter, he realizes he wants a family, and he will do whatever is necessary to keep both of his girls safe, even if that means facing the demons from his past.


Excerpt: Until Jax

“Thank you again for taking me.” Pulling my eyes from the road for a brief moment, I look at Ellie. Her head is resting against the window, her legs pulled up onto the seat, tucked near her ass, and her arms are wrapped tight around them. One thing I’ve noticed about her over the last few hours is she’s always wrapping her arms around herself or tucking her body into a tight ball. It’s like she’s forcing herself to stay together.
“I told you I got you, baby,” I say gently, wanting more than anything to take her hand in mine, but every time I touch her, she freezes up like she’s waiting for me to strike out at her, and I would be lying if I said that didn’t piss me the fuck off. It does; it feels like a slap in the face every time it happens.
“I know,” she whispers, and the tears I hear in her voice cause a sharp pain in my chest.
Fuck.
“This is the turnoff.” Her feet go to the floorboard and her hands to the dash as she sits up taller, moving her face closer to the windshield. We drive up a long dirt driveway with forest and the occasional broken down car on each side. When we make it to the top of the hill, a singlewide trailer comes into view, with junk cars and garbage piled up out front.
As soon as I come to a stop, she opens her door and hops out before I can tell her to keep her little ass in the cab. I don’t even know how I’m going to deal with the range of emotions that have settled over me since seeing her for the first time.
“Fucking Boom,” I mutter, getting out behind her and doubling my steps until I’m able to reach her side, where I wrap my hand around her waist and pull her closer to me. She’s so fucking tiny that the top of her dark head sits right at my chest. So fragile, from her too soft skin to her petite size. And she’s mine.

Release Blitz & Eliza's Review: The Allure of Dean Harper by R.S. Grey




Title: The Allure of Dean Harper 
Series: (Allure #2)
Author: R.S. Grey
Release Date: Sept 28, 2015






Subject: You’re a flippin’ idiot

Good morning my dear, naive friend,

I hope you’re enjoying a breakfast of regret and sorrow.

Why?


Because you sent me to work for Dean Harper, aka a control freak in a tailor-made suit. Sure he owns the trendiest restaurants in NYC, but c'mon Jo, his ego makes Kanye West look like the Dalai Lama.

He's the type of guy that only hears the word “no” when it's followed by “don’t stop.”

Working for Dean Harper would be like selling my soul to the devil…and before you say anything, I don’t care if the devil has punch-you-in-the-gut brown eyes and an ass to match. My soul isn’t for sale.

Regretfully yours,
Lily

The Allure of Dean Harper is a full-length standalone romance with overlapping characters from The Allure of Julian Lefray. Both books can be read separately. Chronologically, The Allure of Julian Lefray happens first.

Subject: Rickshaws, tube tops & mind-blowing sex.

Dear Rachel Ms. Grey,

Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the second instalment in The Allure series. Once again your blend of romantic comedy and quirky characters really hit the spot.

I'm a simple girl, give me a successful guy with confidence, the ability to fill out a suit, a potty mouth with some added prowess between the sheets and I'm a happy bunny. Make him part asshole and I'm sold! But enough about Dean Harper. I adored Lily also, her confidence, humour, fire and ability to put her foot in her mouth made her a winning female lead for me.

I can't decide what I enjoyed the most. The HateLove/Hate relationship, the hilarious banter or the sexual tension, so I won't choose and declare I'd enjoyed them all.

Throughly allured,

Eliza

I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things...everyday.
I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things funny. Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.

Blurb
My life was full of nevers. 

It was never supposed to go this way. I was never supposed to lose Mom so soon. I was never supposed to worry about making ends meet, to worry about losing the farm. I never thought I’d be working a job I hate, with a boss who was more interested in what was under my shirt than in my head. Saving neglected and abused horses had been my whole life. It was my reprieve, my sanity, my last saving grace in a cruel world. I never thought I’d grow to resent it, but I guess there is a first for everything. 

Then I met him.

The Hollywood playboy. The entitled, cocky asshole that I can’t get out of my head. I never thought there could be more to him than sex appeal and an infamous reputation of loving and leaving. I never thought I’d fall for him, put my heart on the line, and risk letting him completely destroy me.
But you know what they tell you…never say never.
NSN - 2

A tear rolls down her cheek and she bites her lip, trying not to cry. Then her face breaks and her shoulders slump forward. I stand there, shaking, terrified of the raw emotion. My heart breaks for her and I rush forward, wrapping her in my arms as she sobs. It’s beautiful and it’s tragic, and in that moment, I’ve never felt anything more real.


The pain. The sorrow. Her loss. The darkness I try to hard to keep out, that I fight tooth and nail but can never fully avoid. I hold her and feel it all. It swarms around me, filling me, hurting me, opening my eyes. I realize everything I’ve done to desperately hold it together slowly chipped away at me until there was nothing left, nothing but a shell of a man with an empty heart that I never though was capable of feeling anything but hurt. A heart I thought was never worthy of a second chance, was never capable of redemption.



It’s then that I realize I never, ever want to let her go.



And it’s crazy, because I don’t know her—really know her—but there is something so intimate about holding someone as they cry. It exposes so much, and you can’t hold back as the tears fall and the sadness comes out in waves. I feel my own eyes mist over. I close them and cradle Haley close to me.



“There’s nothing wrong with you,” I tell her. “I promise you that.”



“Look at me,” she repeats. “Have you ever had a date end this way?”



“Our date didn’t even start,” I say. “And hey, you didn’t go crazy and shave your head, so I say you’re doing all right.”



She laughs, and her arms slowly wrap around me. Something inside me relaxes. I sit and pull her onto my lap and we stay there in silence for a few minutes. Gently, I push her hair out of her face. “Want that drink now?” She laughs again and nods.



“I need that drink now.” She stands up and wipes her eyes, smearing her makeup across her cheeks. “And really, I won’t hold it against you or call the tabloids on you if you drop me off at home and call it a night.”



Tabloids? The word is jarring. For a few minutes I was the real Aiden again…and I didn’t mind. “It’s up to you, Haley. I’m not mad or upset, so don’t worry. I don’t like seeing you sad, and if you’d like, I want to try and cheer you up.”



“I’d like that.”



I stand and drape my arm around her. “Are you hungry? I can go get the food.”



“I am. And thanks, Aiden. I…I don’t know.”



“What?” I probe.



“I’m surprised by your kindness.”



“Ouch,” I say with a chuckle. “Thanks?”



She smiles and takes a step toward the restaurant. “Hey, you can’t really blame me, can you?”



I can’t, because I’ve fooled the world—and at times, myself—about who I really am. The partying, the women, the excessive spending, and run-ins with the American law…okay, so maybe I had a reputation. “No, I can’t. But I’m glad I surprised you.”

Blog Tour & Eliza's Review: Unlikely Love by Riann Miller

Unlikely Love Tour Banner


Add to Goodreads 
  Synopsis
When Nikole Castro decided to pursue her dream of escaping the small town she grew up in, a once in a lifetime mystery offer whisked her away to California. Desiring to break free of the bonds of neglect and heartache, she chose to take a chance on the unknown to pursue the life she had always imagined. Her goals were set, her dreams within her grasp, until an unexpected encounter altered her life forever.
Every moment of Adam Lane’s life had been decided for him since the day he was born. Growing up wealthy was a privilege he enjoyed, but it came with a price. His future was mapped out for him: which college he would attend, who he would marry, and the inescapable eventuality of taking control of his father’s company.
When an accidental collision brought Nikole and Adam together, both of their worlds were turned upside down. Their love might be compelling, but neither of them could have imagined the repercussions of their unlikely love.
Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

UL TeaserExcerpt
I needed to focus on school and getting my degree, not on the first real guy that asked me out on a date—even if that guy was currently making my heart beat faster and my body pulse in a way no one ever had before. 
“It’s one date. Let me show you around the area and I promise to be on my very best behavior.” This guy didn’t know the first thing about best behavior. That was clear by the way he was looking me over.
“I don’t even know you and I can already tell your best behavior probably isn’t a selling point to the people who know you best.” Again, the sexy and very direct smile he gave me almost made me melt. 
“You’re probably right, but for someone like you, I can promise to be a perfect gentleman. One thing you should know about me is when I make a promise, I always keep it.”
“Someone like me?” I said, looking him directly in the eyes. If he wanted to insult me, then I was not about to let him off the hook. 

“Someone as sweet and beautiful as you,” he quickly amended. “I don’t know if I’m digging a deeper hole here or not, but you don’t appear to be from around here. You have this…” Just when I didn’t think he was going to finish his sentence, he continued, “…innocence. Yeah, that’s what it is. All the girls I know around here have an agenda. They’re either rich and looking to get richer, or they’re rich and looking to spend someone else’s money. Either way, innocent is not a word that would describe the females I normally hang around with.”

  UL Teaser 3





At 18, Nikole 'Kole' Castro has lived a sheltered life, ignored by her parents. More concerned with partying than their own daughter, Kole's resilience saw her determined to make better life for herself. Graduating top of her class, her freedom comes with a scholarship to UCLA. Although LA is the great unknown for Kole, her happiness comes from the knowledge her life now will be lived on her terms.

Unlike Kole, Adam Lane’s life has been mapped out for him. His role is to graduate from Stanford and take up his position at his father's company with the intention of taking the helm after his retirement. A life of privilege sees Adam get what he wants, when he wants. His summers home in LA are usually spent partying, until one day he and Kole's worlds collide and the impact is an Unlikely Love.

Being together is a steep learning curve for them both but ultimately outside influences and interferences have devastating effects. After a 12 year separation some news comes to light which sees Adam fight for the woman he let go. With Kole now living the life she has always dreamed for herself, we witness the angst as Adam tries to find a place for himself in it.

Essentially, Riann C. Miller's debut novel is a second chance romance. I enjoyed the evolution of the couple and supporting characters in the latter part of the novel, in particular Jet. Hopefully there is a story for him in there somewhere.

Release Blitz: Ultimate Deception (Harden #2) by Lynn Stookes

Title: Ultimate Deception
Series: Harden #2
Author: Lynn Stookes
Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance
Coming: September 25, 2015​
​In a matter of months, Dani Delaney's world drastically changed. Now, she faces the toughest challenge of her life and is determined to handle it on her own.

Detective Sawyer Woods will do anything to be with Dani, the woman he's dreamed about since he first laid eyes on her, but she'll have nothing to do with him, no matter how much charm he uses.

It isn't until Dani receives threatening messages and criminal activites happen around town that she's forced to accept the help of the one man who can bring her to her knees. Can Sawyer protect the one woman who doesn't want him and convince her to give him a shot? Or can one lie destroy it all?

Once all the clothes are folded, I pick up the basket, taking it to the guest room. I knock, but there’s no response. He must still be in the shower, so I quickly open the door and make a beeline for the bed. I place the basket on the bed. Turning to leave, I stop in my tracks as Sawyer opens the bathroom door, walking out with just a towel wrapped dangerously low around his waist and another towel in his hand, drying his hair. He hasn’t even noticed I’m frozen in place, staring at his ripped six pack abs…no wait, eight pack abs…with a few water drops from his hair dripping down, making me want to follow the trail with my tongue.
The water drop I’ve been following disappears behind the towel hiding an impressive male appendage I’ve dreamt about for several weeks. Hell, since the first night we slept together, I can’t get sex off my mind.
“You keep staring like that, you better be ready to deal with the consequences.”
My head jerks in response. Our eyes meet. The towel drying his hair is now wrapped around his neck as he leans against the door frame with his arms crossed across his chest, looking sexy as sin. I mean, seriously, no man should be allowed to look this good, right?
“What are you doing, Dani?”
“Oh…um…” I stutter. He lifts an eyebrow in question. Why does this man reduce me to a blubbering idiot with just one look? “I was just…um…bringing your clothes back for you.”
He looks at the basket on the bed. “Thank you for that, but that’s not what I meant.”
“What are you talking about then?” I ask, genuinely unsure what he’s questioning.
Sawyer pushes off the wall and stalks towards me. He’s close enough I feel the heat pulsing from his body, but not touching me at all. One slight movement and my body could be flush against every long hard inch of him.
“You know what I’m talking about.” I tilt my head back to meet his stare. He continues as he stares at my lips. “The vibe you’re giving off in spades.”
“What vibe is that?” I ask breathlessly.
“The ‘I need you to fuck me now’ vibe.”
“I…uh…” I lick and bite my bottom lip.
“Fuck it.” His lips crash into mine.

Lynn Stookes was born and raised in the amazing state of Texas, where she currently resides with her husband of five years. They have one rambunctious two year old son and three furry children, who create the chaos she couldn’t live without.

One day, Lynn took her passion (maybe obsession is more apt) for romance books and mystery shows and wrote her first romantic suspense novel, Fatal Obsession, Book 1 in the Harden Series.

When Lynn isn’t writing or working her day job, you can find her reading on her Kindle, spending time with her family and friends, or playing on Facebook. She loves running, coffee, and country music in no particular order.

She's currently working on the next book in the Harden Series.
