GIVEAWAY and COVER REVEAL: Abandon by Cassia Leo

Expected Release Date: January 2014 Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance Cover reveal organized by: Shh Moms Reading CHAPTER ONE She walks into Yogurtland with her cell phone pressed to her ear and a scowl on her face. Behind the scowl, her vulnerability shines like a fucking nuclear explosion in a dark closet. Whoever she’s talking to has stripped her bare. I find myself wishing it were me who affected her that way. She’s digging inside her purse while balancing the phone between her shoulder and her ear; probably searching for money to get her frozen yogurt fix. What is it about frozen yogurt that makes us feel better? Maybe it reminds us of being kids, and how something as simple as a trip to the yogurt shop could turn a bad day into a great one. Whatever it is, I can see that she desperately needs some frozen yogurt…. Read more »

GIVEAWAY and REVIEW: The Devil’s Tattoo by Nicole R. Taylor

REVIEW The Devil’s Tattoo grabbed me right from the beginning and kept my attention for two main reasons—Zoe’s character voice and the setting. I absolutely love books set in Australia. I love everything about it, including the obscure slang that sometimes left me wondering. I don’t care, I still loved it. I thought Zoe was a great characters and the author did a really great job capturing her individual personality. She was cool, she was talented, and she was a survivor. But at the same time, she was very vulnerable. I loved that about Zoe. She was not a tough chick, and that’s unusual for a rocker book. I think there were a lot of very unique ideas in this book, starting with the setting. Also, there were no drugs and I liked that. I’m OK with the drugs in a rocker book because it’s part of the trope, it’s… Read more »

COVER REVEAL: Wasteland by Lindsay Leggett

About Lindsay Leggett Nearly every writer struggles to put together information about themselves, perhaps because we’re so used to detailing the lives and ways of others. For the most part I am a writer, editor, photographer, and all-around artist living in the wilds north of Toronto, Ontario. I thrive on the juxtaposition of beauty and grit, enjoy urban crawls, indie everything, and time well-spent in the woods. Website • Twitter • Goodreads

GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Enter the Night by Norah Wilson and Heather Doherty

Excerpt 1 – Enter the Night SETUP: The girls, in Caster form, are paying a visit to the Walker farm on their first day back after Christmas break. Hovering in mid-air, they are peering in the window of the shed at Bryce Walker, grandson of legendary Heller hunter Ira Walker, which makes him absolutely the last guy Maryanne should be crushing on. “Oh, God! You’ve got the hots for Bryce Walker!” Brooke accused. “What?” The frown was clear in Alex’s voice. “No way!” “Haven’t we all had enough trouble from the Walkers?” Brooke’s voice rose again. “All those damn Walkers!” Maryanne didn’t miss that—we all. They all. Legends and hunters. They all had legacies. Nor did she answer. She kept staring in through the window, her eyes riveted on Bryce. “What’s he doing?” Alex asked, her curiosity apparently trumping her anxiety, at least for the moment. “I don’t know.” Maryanne… Read more »

GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Breaking the Storm by Sedona Venez

EXCERPT: Now time for the man I really wanted. Knox held out his hand, his eyes lighting with amusement as I tossed my hair, dropping low in front of him with a seductive smile. “Minx,” he muttered. “Whatever,” I said with an air of confidence, swaying my way up. Leaning forward, I snatched the cigar from his mouth, letting my hair softly brush against his face. Stubbing it out on the stage, I popped it into my mouth like a boss in charge as I popped my hips, spun, and bent over, looking between my legs and giving him a full-on display of my ass. Pulling out the cigar, I flicked my tongue around it sensually. His eyes widened with desire. I swung up with a cloud of hair, extending my hand to him. Using his hard thigh as a step stool, I stepped down onto the floor. I never… Read more »
