Krystal Wade's CHARMING @Barclay_PR




Krystal Wade is back with a spine-tingling retelling of Cinderella!



In this edge-of-your seat, tension filled retelling of Cinderella, a vengeful schizophrenic pulls sixteen-year-old Haley Tremaine into his dark world. She must make a choice: save her abusive, alcoholic father and bitter little sister and allow the only people who've treated Haley like family to die, or seek out the killer and save them all.

CHARMING

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and that's great . . . as long as you don't die.


Sixteen-year-old Haley Tremaine had it all: top-notch school, fantastic family, and a bright future, but all of that changed when an accident tore her family apart. Now, an alcoholic father, a bitter younger sister, and a cold headstone bearing her mother’s name are all she has left.


Chris Charming has it all: a powerful CEO for a father, a prestigious school, and a fortune at his fingertips, but none of that matters when he lands a reputation as a troublemaker. Struggling to follow in his father’s footsteps, he reaches out to the one person he believes truly sees him, the one person he wants: Haley.


Little do they know someone's determined to bring the two together, even if it means murder.

REVIEW BY NADIA CHIEF BOOK OBSESSIVE PIMPETTE

***Obsessed by Books arc copy given in exchange for an honest review***
"Thirty two steps until Haley Tremaine entered hell. Thirty two steps until she walked into the smell of alcohol and burned microwaveable meals, into a place where fear overwhelmed. "
Haley is keeping together her broken family... just. After her mother makes the decision enough is enough of her alcoholic father a tragic accident results in her being trapped in a Cinderella esque existence. Once dreaming of a bright future now juggling caring for her family; cleaning, washing, cooking, working and school work Haley's life is a living hell. Her father drinks too much and uses her as a punching bag. She tries to hide her abuse from everyone but she isn't fooling them all.  I wrongly assumed her saviour would be the gorgeous Chris Charming. The story is a slow build of hope and trust between the two of them, as he reaches out to her and breaks down his bad boy image.
Just as I got settled in to a warm and heart warming read I thought I had jumped to the wrong book on my kindle!
"Stomach lurching, Haley looked inside the envelope: a finger with Dad's wedding band, a pasty, pale round finger tattooed with Don't Call the Police."

This modern day fairy tale warps into an episode of CSI and I loved it. From being a retelling of a classic it morphs into a who dunnit read that sends your mind into a twist! Without giving any spoilers it's hard to describe this novel any further but suffice to say it's more than your average teenage love story. Well written with depth and background to the characters, you get hooked on the very first page. The secondary characters like Chritine and Richard all add dimension and layer the story with humour and explore relationships. It is a fab book that I would recommend. I rated it four stars as for me it was missing hot hot sex scenes or as they are teenagers so maybe not appropriate I would have liked a little more graphic violence! I'm blood thirsty ;) 

Excerpt 3 from CHARMING by Krystal Wade


“Hey, kids.” Mrs. Charming stood by their feet, smiling down at them, still linked to her husband. “We should head out. Park closes at dark. Plus your dad and I have a movie to go see.”


Chris drove Haley back to his house; both sat quietly, leaning somewhat toward the center of the small Porsche. He pulled up next to Dad’s truck and sighed. “Thank you for being so good to them.”


“Chris—”


“No, I mean it.” Chris opened the truck door for her, then closed it as she slid onto the cold leather seat.


Haley rolled down the window and leaned on her elbow, so close to him, so freaking close. “They’re good people.”


And deserve better than me in their life.


“Most people treat them as if they’re just money bags from which to draw upon when they have a need.”


“I don’t need anything from them. I just want your family to be happy, you to be happy, Chris.”


“You’re different, Haley Tremaine.”


“So are you, Chris Charming.” Haley turned the key in the ignition, but the truck wouldn’t start. Cold, stabbing panic ripped apart her lungs.


“Guess I’ll need to walk.”


“You’re nuts if you think I’m letting you walk. Murderer on the loose, remember?” Laughing, Chris opened the door and took Haley by the hand, then guided her to the driver’s side of his car. “In fact, I’d really like you to drive.”


She smiled and snatched the keys. “Okay. Fine, but you better wear your seatbelt.”


He did, and she drove, and they laughed, winding down country roads, passing cars as though they sat still and Chris and Haley were in a speeding bullet. Haley downshifted and squealed the tires as she stopped in front of her house on Main Street. But when she glanced at the front of the house, her heart skidded to a halt.


Niles sat on her porch, bouquet of flowers in hand, scowling.

About Krystal Wade:

They live just outside Washington, D.C., and every day she wakes up to find herself stuck in traffic trying to get there. When she’s not working, commuting, or chasing after her three children (four if you count the man), you can usually find Krystal outside talking to her chickens like they’re the cutest things in the world (they are), or training her amazing dogs how to herd said chickens (which they love), or curled up on the sofa with a good book (why can’t that be 100% of the time?).

Today is the cover reveal of two novellas in StoryTime releasing on October 14, 2014:  Tell Me My Name by Mary Fan and Slam by Tash McAdam.


In Mary Fan’s second novella from Glass House Press, a teen girl wakes up in an icy cell, alone and frightened. She has no memory of who she is or how she came to be there.

She does know that she must get out, at all costs. And that escape must start with remembering the simple things – her own name. Her place of origin. Her possible powers.

When a group of dark magicians reveal themselves to be her captors, she finds herself in the clutches of those who will stop at nothing to uncover the secrets locked within her lost memories. With her life fading under their merciless spells, the need to escape becomes dire.

But can she get out when she doesn’t even know who she is? Can she count on one unlikely ally for help? Or is it already too late for her, a girl without a name?

Tell Me My Name introduces the main characters in Mary’s new fantasy series, Fated Stars, with the first book, Windborn, due in late 2015.

About Mary Fan

Mary Fan is a hopeless dreamer, whose mind insists on spinning tales of “what if.” As a music major in college, she told those stories through compositions. Now she tells them through books—a habit she began as soon as she could pick up a pencil. Flynn Nightsider and the Edge of Evil follows a well-received debut novel, a space opera titled Artificial Absolutes (2013), and is the first in the Flynn Nightsider series. Mary would like to think that there are many other novels in her bag, and hopes to prove that to the world as well.

Mary lives in New Jersey and has a B.A. from Princeton University. When she’s not scheming to create new worlds, she enjoys kickboxing, opera singing, and blogging about everything having to do with books.

Telepaths, torture, mindwipes ... the Institute has it all, and they use each of their brainwashed children as weapons, the way they see fit. To control society, repress its people. To make certain that they stay in power, no matter the cost. Serena’s baby brother Damon is one of those children, and these days he’s so altered that he doesn’t even recognize her.

When it comes to getting Damon away from those who kidnapped him, there's nothing Serena won't do. Even if she has to kill him to save him. First, though, she must prove to her father that she has what it takes to be a soldier against the insidious threat of the Institute. Her first mission has to be perfect.

But with inaccurate intelligence, unexpected storms, and Gav Belias, people’s hero of the Watch, on the prowl, will she even survive? If she doesn't succeed, they'll never let her go after her brother.

And that would be unthinkable, when it was her fault that he was taken in the first place.

Slam is Tash McAdam’s first work with Glass House Press, and serves as a prequel to her series The Psionics, with the first book, Maelstrom, due in 2015.

This is what Author Angela Fattig had to say about the series:

#TheBrokenSeries #Abuse #Murder #ChildhoodLove #HumanTrafficking #Rape

 The Broken Series touches very sensitivity subjects, human trafficking, abuse, and rape.

 We all know abuse and rape happens all around us but did you know that the US has a problem with human trafficking? We do and it needs to stop.

Most victims who escape find peace in suicide. They find it is the only way to leave the darkness behind. The reason for this? In my opinion it is because we have not been educated enough to be able to help.

So open your browser and type in "Human Trafficking in the US" and see what you find. You may become sick with what you find. I know I was several months ago when I decided to write about it.

One person can't change things. However, if we ban together we might be able to put a dent in it.
Join me in the fight against Human Trafficking.....

Release Day Blitz: Strangers for the Night (For the Night #1) by C. J. Fallowfield Oct 17th

Obsessed by Books are hosting the Release Day Blitz for Strangers for the Night by C. J. Fallowfield on Oct 17th

.
The steaming novella ‘Strangers for the Night’ is part of the ‘For the Night’ series of eight standalone short reads, which fall into Amazon’s new quick hot erotic reads category. The series contains adult themes~ Suitable only for the over 18’s.

My name is Logan Steele. I’m devilishly handsome, seriously ripped, well hung, charismatic and highly sexed. Women just can’t resist me. So when I lost my job in the construction industry and was struggling for cash, I decided to put my assets to good use.

By day I’m a private personal fitness trainer. By night I’m a high class gigolo.

I don’t advertise my sexual services anymore, I have a long client list that come to me through word of mouth. I’m that good I’m booked months in advance. Scores of women pay me extortionately high fees to fulfil their fantasies. And for the most part I do. I have a strict set of rules that I abide by, which are provided in the full contract that you’ll receive along with the booking form, if accepted. I’ve bullet pointed an abridged version below, just so you’re clear before you send me an email request:

Rules my clients must comply with are:
I must see a picture in advance.
I can decline the booking request without explanation.
I can only be booked for the night.
All sexual acts must be consensual.
I will provide you with a report to complete, then I will choose the setting for our meeting based on your scenario.
I am flown first class or by private jet if I am required to work abroad.
In the event of the above, I will provide my dietary requirements in advance.
I will perform a full background check.
I base my variable charge on the scenario being requested.

“No” rules that I stipulate are:
No bareback.
No minors.
No physical violence.
Nothing illegal.
No form of emotional attachment during or after the event. I am merely performing a sexual or companion service.
No contact after the event, unless it is for a new booking.

And my absolute number one rule, without exception is:
Full payment up front which, is non- refundable.

There is no requirement for a refund clause, I never fail to perform.

So, now you are aware of my rules for the night and are about to contact me, all that remains to be asked is “Who do you want me to be?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Strangers for the Night' is Camilla Domville's idea of the perfect fantasy. Meeting a hot guy in a bar and going back to his hotel room for a night of unbridled passion, that’s if they even make it to the hotel room before Logan seduces her.

Downright raunchy, saucy and hot, Logan's sexcapade with Camilla threatens to be his last, as she's set her sights on him and is determined to be his one and only client moving forwards. But Logan's main mantra is “Never get emotionally attached to your client.”

While this works with Camilla, a booking with a future client has him looking forward to it in a way he never has before.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The novella’s are told in alternating points of view of Logan Steele, and his client, or clients. You can pick up any of them for a complete short burst of heat, however in order to fully enjoy Logan’s development they should be read in the sequence that they are released. Starting in October 2014, I will release one per month:

Strangers for the Night
Virgin for the Night
Filthy for the Night
Ménage for the Night
Sophisticated for the Night
Biker for the Night
Dominant for the Night
Actor for the Night

Cover & Blurb reveal for Songbird Freed by Lisa Edward


Blurb
My name is Tara O’Connell, and I’ve always believed we control our own fate. That life is a journey with many roads, and the choices we make can shape our future.

Life has presented me with two paths and I’ve chosen one.

Was it right? Did I make the best decision?

After the uncertainty of the last twelve months, my destiny is now crystal-clear to me. I have a man I love more than words can express, a thriving business, and the best friends anyone could ask for. But just when I thought I could put the turmoil of my past behind me and move on, a life-changing phone call has rocked me to the core and turned my life upside-down once more.

To make matters worse, influences outside my control have taken hold and are shattering my perfect world.

But some things are worth fighting for.

Dreams can come true and I’ll do everything in my power to make them happen. But dreams can also be smashed into tiny pieces, and no matter how hard we fight or how hard we wish for something to be, sometimes with the hand we’ve been dealt, we can never win.
