OK, themes in New Adult books these days? I’ve done them all. Vampires and Werewolves.-check. Step-brothers/sisters.-check. Bad boy with the heart of gold.-check. The jock and good girl.-check. Teacher/student.-check. Lately I’ve enjoyed the friends to lovers books. My top read so far this summer that is friends to lovers, With a Twist by Staci Hart. We all have those “go-to” book friends. Well, one of my “go-to” friends PMed me a few weeks ago and said, check out this book. It’s sweet, and steamy, and I think you’d like it. I devoured it. This is my favorite kind of book. One that is sweet and just takes you away into another world. I completely fell in love with these characters. Completely. ALL of them. This circle of friends are series gold. I want to read each and every one of their stories. (And because I’m a stalker, I totally checked… Read more »

Wasted Wednesday? Not here!
Where has summer gone? If your summer is anything like my summer, I’m sorry. See, I love summer. I love the beach and the pool. I love BBQs and ice cream. I love endless, lazy days with a good book. But real life got in its way this summer. I run a camp in my “real life”. I used to love it, but as its grown and with parents hovering over each and every day, the fun was sucked right out of it this year. But, it’s over for this season. (Happy Dance!) And for the most part, it was successful. It stressed me the f*#k out, but now I have a few days left before I prep for the school year. I haven’t read much this summer. But I’m planning to highlight my favorite summer reads this week and next (with some giveaways too!). My favorite summer read? Wasted… Read more »
SPECIAL GIVEAWAY and My Trip to the Louvre
Summer is slow in the book world. Both as a blogger and an author. Kristi is busy running a huge summer camp (she’s a rock star like that) and I’m busy writing and going to signings. So we’ve been slacking. But I still have so many things to give away from my trip to Europe with Jana Aston so I can manage one post a week I think! Last week I gave away a Harrod’s Prize Pack, and congrats to Maureen for winning that! You’ve been emailed! So this week I’ve got some more pics – this time our brief trip to the Louvre. That place was so big I felt a little (OK a lot!) overwhelmed. I’ve been to the British Museum before this trip, so when I went back I knew exactly what I wanted to see. Mostly the Ancient Near-East stuff that I researched so heavily for… Read more »
Kindle GIVEAWAY and TOUR REVIEW: Relinquish by M.N. Forgy
REVIEW: This is not a Cinderella story. It’s like a dark, twisty wanna-be chick lit book. When Charlie leaves her foster family, she doesn’t look back. When her foster sister joins her, they head to Las Vegas, looking to start a new life. Money goes fast and Charlie finds herself doing the impossible, becoming a whore. By being a whore, she can breathe a bit easy. Her pimp helps pay the basic necessities. But when she meets a mysterious, handsome man, she can’t deny the attraction her body feels towards him. Landon is heir to THE finest escort business around. He can’t help himself when he’s around the new girl in town. A chance encounter leaves to a whole new life, for both Charlie and Landon. I liked this story. It was an easy read, good for the beach or pool. It’s a bit dark, harsh in that it easily… Read more »
$100 GIVEAWAY: Wasted Lust by JA Huss
EXCERPT SASHA “I still feel dizzy.” “Come here,” he says, pulling me into his lap and repositioning me so my head is cradled in the crook of his arm. “Put your feet up on the seat and just rest. It’s a good hour drive to where we’re going.” I could resist. He’s not entirely trustworthy. And he’s a stalker. That’s pretty creepy. I wonder how deep that obsession goes. I wonder if it’s safe to even be in this car with him. But his embrace feels too good to make him stop. My dress was not made for being cradled in a man’s arms. Or maybe it was? Because the slits up each side bare my thighs, and the heat of his hand on my skin stirs up the longing I’ve been pushing away for years, making me shut my eyes. His fingers stroke me gently, back and forth across… Read more »

$10 GIVEAWAY: James and Harper’s HEA Update
BE SURE TO ENTER yesterday’s After The HEA Giveaway about Spencer & Veronica! WANT TO VIEW the James & Harper Pinterest Board? CLICK HERE. James came onto the scene immediately after Spencer’s Guns book released. The first Dirty, Dark, and Deadly story, COME, was written especially for The BEND Anthology which I participated in with the other members of The Erotica Consortium on Facebook. Each story in the book was original and steamy, and we were so excited to release this. We had a ton of pre-orders and we were crossing our fingers that we’d make NYT with this book. And then Amazon BANNED us. Apparently they couldn’t handle the hotness. 😉 God, I laugh now, but we were so bummed! However, it all worked out in the end. We sold a lot of books – about 20,000 if I remember correctly, and even though the book was only officially… Read more »
