BOOK BLITZ FINDING ME, FINDING YOU BY SHEALY JAMES @ShealyJames

 

 

Book Title: Finding Me, Finding You 

Author: Shealy James 

Genre: Contemporary Romance 

Release Date: September 2013 

Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

Parker wasn’t always a bad boy. It wasn’t until his life seemed to lose meaning that things started spiraling out of control. Nothing mattered though, not without her around. That was until he met Maggie, the introverted beauty that had taken one too many verbal beatings. Maggie wasn’t exactly shy, but she definitely wasn’t confident either. Until now she had been happy existing in her small world, but she was ready for a change. She vowed to make friends in college. Simple, right? Not quite. Maggie discovers she was in store for more than just friendship. Instead she finds a painful crush on an emotionally unavailable guy. As Maggie and Parker each head down the path of self-discovery, they learn it isn’t always easy to keep the ones you love when you are becoming the person you want to be.

“

So, Parker, how long have you been in love with my little girl?” I looked at him shocked. “What?” “You’re watching her like You’re ready to pounce anyone who touches her wrong or if anyone under the age of sixty tries to dance with her. You drove all this way to come to a party that she hates. I know she is incredibly crabby when she is home, and I can only assume that has something to do with you. She has been happier at school this year than she was the last two, and I know about your piano performance, which was a nice touch by the way.” I thought for a second. Was I in love with Maggie? This wasn’t the first time this had crossed my mind, but it was the first time I believed it could be possible. Yes. I am. I’m in love with Maggie Miller. “I’ll ask you again, son. How long have you been in love with my daughter?” “I think since the day I met her, sir.” “Yeah I thought so. I saw the way you looked at her then as well. Have you told her how you feel?” “No, sir.” “Have you had sex with her?” “What? NO! No, sir!” He gave me a mischievous grin. “Ha. Just checking. Well, go get her.” He nodded to where she was dancing with a bald older man with wandering hands. I laughed when she had to move his hand off her butt for probably the tenth time. “Are you going to cut my balls off?”

REVIEW. 53 LETTERS FOR MY LOVER BY LEYLAH ATTAR. @leylahattar

Adult Women's Fiction/Romance

 

This is not your typical love story. It’s not so black and white. Lines are crossed. Walls are smashed. Good becomes bad. Bad becomes very, very good.

Shayda Hijazi—the perfect daughter, the perfect wife, the perfect mother. For thirty-three years she has played by the rules, swallowing secrets, burying dreams, and doing whatever it takes to anchor her family. Shayda Hijazi is about to come face to face with the one thing that can rip it all apart, the one thing her heart has always been denied: love.

Troy Heathgate—untamed, exhilarating, dangerous—a man who does exactly as he pleases. Life bends to his will. Until he comes across the one thing he would give it all up for, but can never have.

Born on the same day in opposite corners of the world, their lives collide. And nothing is ever the same again. Now Shayda is flying free and Troy has found the one thing that centers his soul, but even as they beat the odds, a cancer diagnosis puts Shayda in a painful dilemma. On the one hand is the man who makes her feel gloriously alive and on the other, her children, and a husband ravaged by the past.

 

Spanning three decades, 53 Letters for My Lover is a fiercely sensual, emotional ride to the heart of an epic, forbidden love that defies it all—an intimate exploration of love, loyalty, passion, betrayal, and the human yearning for hope, happiness and redemption.

AUTHOR WARNING: This book is a blend of women's fiction and romance. It involves infidelity and an attempted rape. If you are not comfortable with these subjects, this may not be the best book for you.

This is really an emotional read.

There are heartbreaking moments and really isn't your typical love story.

It's a beautiful book, and well written. You wouldn't believe that this is the debut book for this author.

There will be tears, heartbreak and you will enjoy the ending

Troy Heathgate has it all - brains, brawn and the kind of smile that just begs a ribbon. Everything but the woman he loves. But now he’s back and determined to possess her. There’s just one catch - she’s married to another man.

This short teaser story (9,500 words, 38 pages) is a re-telling of select scenes from ' 53 Letters For My Lover'. It is narrated from the male point of view - raw and uncut.

***This is a companion to the full length novel. Although you can read it on its own, the recommended order is after the full length novel, as an extra glimpse into the hero's perspective.****

REVIEW. BREAK THE SKY BY NINA LANE @ninalaneauthor

Break the Sky by Nina Lane

A sizzling hot, new SPIRAL OF BLISS spin-off novel from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nina Lane 

“Do you ever let go, storm girl?” he asked. “Ever lose control? Ever surrender?” 
“Never,” I whispered. “I never surrender.” 
A smile of both promise and warning curved his beautiful mouth. 
“You will.” 

Atmospheric scientist Kelsey March is under siege. Her tornado research project is on the skids and she’s fighting conflict in her university department. So when irresistible bad boy Archer West suggests a hot, wild fling while he’s in town, Kelsey is unable to resist his sexy offer. 

Kelsey and Archer embark on a intense, exhilarating affair. But soon their differences and private battles encroach on their desire, and Kelsey discovers that Archer is a storm she can’t control.(less)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review

Here we have a sexy, hot dominant man, who doesn't want one of those.

The story is scorching hot and easy to read.

Archer is the bad boy and we love bad boys.

Kelsey did annoy me a bit with the constant questioning, but we can't have it all can we.

A book well written and worth a buy

OMG LOOK AT THIS COVER RACED BY K. BROMBERG @KBrombergDriven

The Colton Points of View Collection

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author K. Bromberg comes a companion novella to the best selling Driven Trilogy (Driven, Fueled, and Crashed). This novella is a compilation of reader requested scenes from the series retold through the eyes of Colton Donavan.

Colton Donavan lived life in the fast lane, but it took Rylee Thomas to teach him what racing was all about.

Arrogant

Rogue

Broken

Conceited

Dirty-Talking

Rebel

Egomaniacal

Voodooed

Bent

Reckless

You think you know me?

Think again.

*Raced is not a complete re-write of the Driven Trilogy. This companion explores pivotal scenes as well as some new ones written in Colton Donavan’s point of view that were not previously published in Driven, Fueled, and Crashed. Hear his thoughts, experience his inner-turmoil, and laugh with him on his journey as he overcomes his demons and accepts what it means to love. 

This novella is for the devoted readers of the Driven series. It is recommended that this companion be read after Driven, Fueled, and Crashed.

******************************

Excerpt:

“Well, according to you, I took the checkered flag last night, Rylee...” I say as I take a step toward her trying to snap my thoughts in line, make up a reason for being here besides the need to make sure she’s okay when I could have just picked up the fucking phone. I resist the urge to reach out and touch her because I know if I do, my dick will rise to the occasion and do the talking for me. And fuck if I know what it will say.

She licks her lips, dick beginning to win the internal thought process when I suddenly figure out my angle – my in – my stupid ass excuse for showing up the morning after like some pussy-whipped douchebag. Because fuck, you can’t get pussy-whipped after just one taste. Shit like that takes time to acquire.

Or so I’ve heard.

This man might be drawn to the pussy palace but fuck if its queen will hand out orders that I’ll obey.

I take another step toward her, still undecided about my excuse for being here when I glance down momentarily and see her nipples harden through her tank. Well at least I know she’s still attracted to me. Let’s see if I can make her like me again. Give me another chance.

Bingo. Truth shall set me free. There’s the answer. I just want another chance when I’ve never wanted one before.

And therein lies the second question, another chance at what though?

EXCERPT

“Baird.” He tosses his chin toward Carrig and the introductions stall.

Carrig is more amiable than Baird. “What blood are you?”

Titus moves swiftly beside them though he carries Siana’s dead weight. “I am blood of the demonic, and also Exotic.”

“Obviously vampire,” Carrig replies.

“Aye, I am, though I have enough Exotic blood to shadow skip.”

Baird frowns.

“Baird,” Carrig says, but Baird sprints ahead.

He smells the wetness from the hot spring, musty yet sweet. Baird zeroes in on it as he runs, and Titus follows.

They arrive at the water's edge, and all of them slip off their clothes.

Carrig nudges the edge of his rucksack open and plucks out soap.

Siana moans, flopping an elegant arm over her eyes.

She gasps as hot water slides over her body. Every scratch, wound, and piece of filth responds with a biting sting.

“What?” Siana asks, her voice thick.

“We are bathing then seeking shelter nearby,” Carrig explains.

Baird takes Siana from Titus, and he resists.

Their eyes lock.

“I will not harm the Druid queen, Faction,” Baird says.

Siana holds an arm around Titus's waist as she half floats in the warm water. “He does not believe you.” She looks up at Titus through half-closed lids.

Carrig snorts, and Baird frowns.

Her naked shoulders lift. “What assurance does he have, based on your rabid behavior?”

Baird casts his eyes to the ground, properly shamed.

When he lifts them, he is more himself. “I wish to have some time to speak alone with you.”

“Ah,” Siana says, “you need but ask. We're obviously on intimate terms.”

She says her words with mirth. They are barbs sinking into his flesh, and he deserves it.

Siana lets herself be pulled through the water by Baird.

Something tight and hard eases within Baird's chest when she is beside him.

He kisses the top of her head, wrapping her tightly against himself.

They float away while the other men clean. Only the sounds of splashing can be heard.
