Purchase on Amazon Purchase on B&N EXCERPT I felt like the world had been ripped from underneath my feet. I was floating, weightless, like the steam that surrounded us, my only anchor Nick’s lips moving hard on mine. I kissed him back as hard as I could, my hands first on his broad shoulders, then his strong arms, and when I ran out of air I pulled back gasping. Nick was half an inch away, cradling my face between his hands and pressing kisses on my cheeks, my chin, my nose, my neck. Moving down my throat, heating me inside, and I was going to explode. My hands didn’t stay by my side. I just couldn’t keep them there. Neither could he. We didn’t hit the ball out of the park, but we definitely made it past first base. I remember thinking, as I kissed him, and he kissed me,… Read more »

$50 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Chasing Prophecy by James Moser
EXCERPT Richard said, “Why are you even talking, Maureen, I mean Maurice? Go sit in your highchair and let the grownups work this out, OK, little guy?” Even with my new growth spurt, he never missed a chance to let me know I lived every second of my life ten seconds from a surfing lesson. Max said coldly, “Don’t you clowns talk to him that way.” Kazzy said, “—or we will kick your cracker asses.” I looked up at her and realized I’d been looking up to her my whole life. She was calm and still when she was standing up for herself. She didn’t have to stand on her tiptoes or raise her voice. When I tried to stand up for myself, I knew people saw the question marks in my eyes. Kazzy’s eyes were full of answers, and I loved her. Deep inside me I felt something break,… Read more »
GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: The Star Catcher by Stephanie Keyes
This week only, Grab The Star Child and The Fallen Stars for just $1.99! Amazon | B&N EXCERPT “I thought I’d never see you again.” Cali’s voice sounded small. “There’s so much to tell you, I don’t even know where to begin.” “I know.” “Marry me. For real this time.” The words came out in a rush, but I’d never wanted anything more. I didn’t plan on being apart from Cali ever again. “No Faerie attacks, no fleeing the country.” I didn’t know how to sum it up properly. “Just be mine.” Cali smiled and pushed her warm body even closer against me. “Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.” Her yeses jumbled together as we kissed again. “I will marry you. I will.” We had so much more to share, but I wouldn’t think past this moment, past today when I had Cali in my arms, finally, with our never-ending life lying… Read more »

As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color. The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body.

GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Infinity Unleashed by Sedona Venez
He laced his fingers with hers, his lightly tanned skinned contrasting beautifully with her glowing mocha skin. “From the minute we met, I knew you were different.” His voice was a mixture of lust and triumph. His mouth was on her instantly, demanding entry. She opened them with a breathy sigh, twining her arms around his neck. He nipped her bottom lip before pulling back. His green eyes flashed with emotion. “I need you by my side.” Leaning forward, he licked her bottom lip slowly before nipping it. “As my mate and eventually as the mother of my children.” Arching a brow, she asked, “Are you going to kill Alik and Mason?” “Darlin’, that’s a given.” He grabbed her chin gently. “Understand this. I don’t take the preciousness of life lightly, but if it’s a choice between your life and theirs… I’d choose you every time.” His canines dropped with… Read more »
GIVEAWAY and REVIEWS: Betwixt Omnibus by Melissa Pearl
REVIEW Betwixt is an amazing story of one young girl’s brush with death and her journey to self-realization and acceptance. Nicole Tepper had a lot going for her – she lives in a nice neighborhood, she’s socially popular at school, she has a hot boyfriend, and she’s pretty. You’d think that’s all it takes to be happy. But Nicole is not even close to happy. She’s been acting out since the death of her sister two years prior and in her mind, she grabbed life with gusto, pointed her head towards the wind, and pushed on. OK, she did do that. She just did it in all the wrong ways. And now that she’s on the brink of death after being hit by a car because her ‘boyfriend” was trying to grope her and she wasn’t interested- her bad choices are literally coming back to haunt her. This is sort… Read more »

$50 GIVEAWAY and EXCERPT: Drawn by Cecilia Gray
Sasha loves to draw and she expresses a lot of her feelings about her life through comics. Each chapter begins with a comic book page – Sasha’s interpretation of her birth to childhood to life with the FBI. EXCERPT FBI Field Office, Atlanta, Georgia I’ve studied Chelsea since the FBI teamed us up when I was twelve. She has a move…classic Chelsea. She turns the doorknob and her body stiffens, a metal rod shoved down her spine. As she sets a high heel inside the interrogation room, her southern accent and soft manners are buried beneath a terrifyingly sleek, blond exterior in a perfectly pressed pinstriped suit. Four years of practice, two custom-cut suits of my own, and I still look epileptic when I try to project that sense of total control. Of I’ve got this. Even though I don’t have her drawl and my posture’s not bad. I follow… Read more »
