New Release: That One Summer by CJ Duggan

Title: That One Summer (Summer, #3)

Author: CJ Duggan
Genre: New Adult Romance

Release Day: December 17th, 2013

Book Description:
Loving Chris Henderson would be wrong. Diabolically disastrous. I mean, what is there about him to love? He’s moody, bossy, brooding, a control freak, and that’s on a good day … but there was one achingly obvious fact that haunted my every thought, every minute of every day …

He sure could kiss.

As the countdown to the new millennium begins, there is one thing everyone agrees on: no one wants to be in Onslow for New Year’s Eve.

So that can only mean one thing: road trip!

No longer the mousey, invisible, shy girl from years ago, Tammy Maskala is finally making up for all those lost summers. A new year with new friends, which astoundingly includes the bossy boy behind the bar, Chris Henderson.

She likes her new friends (at least most of them), so why does she secretly feel so out of place?

After chickening out on the trip, a last-minute change of heart sees Tammy racing to the Onslow Hotel, fearing she’s missed her chance for a ride. The last thing she expected to meet was a less-than-happy Onslow Boy leaning against his black panel van.

Now the countdown begins to reach the others at Point Shank before the party is over and the new year has begun. Alone in a car with only the infuriating Chris Henderson, Tammy can’t help but feel this is a disastrous start to what could have been a great adventure. But when the awkward road trip takes an unexpected turn, Tammy soon discovers that the way her traitorous heart feels about Chris is the biggest disaster of all.

Fogged up windows, moonlight swimming, bad karaoke and unearthed secrets; after this one summer nothing will ever be the same again.

New Cover for The Do Over by A.L. Zaun

SYNOPSIS:

 

Life doesn't look like it's supposed to for Dani Ruiz, a hopeless romantic. After a painful and sudden break-up with Rick Marin, Dani hides away from reality, retreating to a world of fiction where she prefers book boyfriends over the hassles of a relationship.

Almost two years later, Dani's friends are tired of watching her in a holding pattern, so they stage an intervention, forcing her back into the real world of dating.

Unexpectedly, Dani meets Liam Lucas, a down-to-earth firefighter. He might be the person to show her she's still worth something. Dani's hesitant to trust her heart with another man, but their instant and electric chemistry is something she can't deny.

As Dani starts to believe that she's found her real-life book boyfriend, Rick decides that he'll go to any lengths to get her back. Seeing Rick as a changed man makes Dani question everything.

Review: Only in Dreams by Wendy Owens

Paige Parker thinks she has everything figured out. Even though her heart is broken, she manages to find love again, and she’s sure this time it’s for keeps.

Between planning her wedding and working on garments for her upcoming debut fashion show, Paige is overwhelmed. When her fiancé, Henry, suggests a couple months away from the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple to focus, she is thrilled to use the opportunity to reconnect with her best friend, Emmie.

Paige heads to Texas, ready to spend some quality time with Emmie and her baby girl, Olivia. When she arrives, she is shocked to find herself face-to-face with Christian Bennett, the man who broke her heart.

She finds herself confused. Is she truly over her first love? Is she making a mistake marrying Henry? Paige follows her heart, but this may be the most painful decision she ever makes. It leaves her wondering if true love is possible ONLY IN DREAMS

Only in Dreams... I'm almost at a loss for words. I absolutely LOVED this book. I literally couldn't put it down. Read it in less than 6 hours because I just couldn't stop! I kinda fell in love with Christian and Paige in Stubborn Love, but to get their story is just fantastic. The way Wendy writes just sucked me and made me feel so much for the characters. I felt so bad for Christian and Paige. And in the end I even loved Henry, he was just so good to Paige. I felt her confusion, I felt her pain, I felt her love. It was just amazing. Wendy Owens has climbed to one of my favorite authors with this series!!

Wendy Owens was born in the small college town, Oxford Ohio. After attending Miami University, Wendy went onto a career in the visual arts. For several years she created and sold her own artwork. In 2011 she gave her true love, writing, a try. Her first novel flowed from her in only two weeks time, as though it had been fighting to get out. That moment was when she knew she had found her calling. Wendy now happily spends her days writing the stories her characters guide her to tell, admitting even she doesn’t always know where that might lead. Her first series, The Guardians, will be concluded with the fifth and final book in 2013.
When she’s not writing, this dog lover can be found spending time with her tech geek husband, their three amazing kids, and two pups, lovingly nicknamed stinks and chubbs. She also loves to cook and is a film fanatic.

Review: Flip Flops in France by Georgie Summer

Title: Flip-Flops in France

Author: Georgie Summer

Genre: Erotica

Publication Date: October 16, 2013

Tour Host: Dreams Come True Promotions

Accepting the job offer was the easy part, denying herself the insanely intense attraction to her new cocky, self-assured Boss was the real problem.

Stunning, out-spoken Lexi Chase is on a mission to move on and start over far away from the everyday reminders of betrayal but she really should have read the small print in her terms of employment before-hand.

Horse trainer, sex on legs Max doesn’t do relationships or feelings especially after such a publically messy sham of a marriage.

Max has rules and no tolerance for those that don’t follow them to the letter but soon finds he has to break a few in order to satiate the increasing desire that Lexi arouses.

Following a terrible accident their lives are thrown into chaos in the hunt to determine whether it was truly an accident at all.

The Past has a funny way of catching up when you least expect it…

What lengths are people willing to go to and what chances are those involved prepared to take to each find their own true happily ever after…

Review:
I absolutely loved reading this book as an American. There is a few scattered words that are European in the book and it really made me feel like I was there because they aren't words that I use normally so that was a little extra special something for me. Not the typical 'bloody hell' and common European phrases but words like 'hob'

Lexi, our heroine, has a bad break with her ex and leaves the country to start a new job as a nanny. New country, new job, new life, right?  A way to describe Lexi's new situation??

Holy crap, was I in trouble...serious, serious trouble.

Her new boss is Max. Dominating, controlling Max.

Max + Sex = Hell Yes...
Max + Emotions = Absolutely not...

The little boy Lexi is to be looking after, Mathew, is the sweetest little man. He is Max's one and only weak spot. He'd do anything for his little boy as would Lexi.

I do want to note that this book has some VERY sexy scenes and Max is a dominating man in just the right ways to get your attention, if you know what I mean.

I loved watching how the story unfolded and as we got to see the characters develop, change and grow with the situations that are put in front of them.

I can't wait to dig into Forever in France, the sequel.

Hi everyone,

I am the accidental author of the 5 Star reviewed 'Steps series' and 'Flip-Flops in France' and brought you the mouth watering Mr Zane Fitzgerald, hot alpha horse breeder Max and I mustn't forget 'Man On!' with sexy football coach Spencer.

In just over 3 months I have released 6 erotic romance novels and considering that I never intended to publish at all, it has been quite a journey.

Being an Indie author is so much harder than I could have ever imagined but is also very rewarding when you get such amazing feedback from readers.

I am very fortunate to have some amazing supporters, readers and friends and their continued encouragement is amazing and I love each and every one of them. xx

Review: What's Left of Me by Amanda Maxlyn

Life works in mysterious ways.

Four years ago I became known as the girl with cancer.

I refuse to cry.

And I refuse to give in.

A relationship with a man is the last thing I’m looking for right now, but one night with Parker changes everything. He is persistent, and he knows what he wants. Me.

He doesn’t treat me like I’m fragile.

But he doesn’t know, and I’m not ready to tell him.

What if it changes everything?

Tragedy found me when I was seventeen.

Love found me when I was twenty-one.

My name is Aundrea McCall, and this is my journey.

Add on GoodReads

I'll start by saying that I am a cancer survivor for 10 years now so when I read the blurb about a girl that was going through chemo and falling in love while doing it, I had to read it. I met my husband while going through chemo so it really rang home for me. I completely related to Aundrea going through her chemo and hiding it from Parker. She didn't want to be treated like the sick girl, she wanted to be treated normal. We watch as their relationship develops even while seeing how hard it is for her to lead the double life. Parker is super sweet and wonderful in the book. Aundrea is strong willed and determined. It was a great read that I couldn't put down even if at points it brought things a little too close to my heart and made me cry.

This book has a darker aspect to it with the abusive husband and him hunting her once she finally makes the decision to leave him. As expected, the husband goes crazy looking for her and his reactions are scary and made me want to hide under my blanket when I read them.

But then there is Gabriel. He is there to be everything Lauren could want. He's got his own life, his own history but it makes him that much more likable and relate-able to. And to make it even better, he is 10 years younger than her!!

Lauren.. Oh Ms. Lauren. She is the abused wife, who gives every excuse in the book for her husband, even after she has left him she has a hard time breaking the habit of it. But she certainly comes into her own and grows out of that woman who pretends to be asleep to avoid an argument to a strong, sexy woman who goes after what she wants with Gabriel.

For me the only lacking part was that their relationship moved so quickly, I was almost afraid it would end as a rebound relationship for Lauren, one that helped her escape her horrible marriage. But overall I really enjoyed the book and can't wait to read the second one!



I was born and raised in a small working class town in Essex, just outside of East London. I am married with three sons and in 2006 we all moved to the other side of the world, settling on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about 50K outside of Melbourne Australia. It's a whole new way of life for us down here,we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world.

I am currently a stay at home mum but in the past I have worked at Marks & Spencer, as a classroom assistant/teachers aid and have run my business.

As well as writing, I love to read and have been known to get through four or five books a week. My other interests are watching my boys play football...The round ball version; I am happy to admit to being an addict of social media and I owe a lot to my Facebook and Twitter family in promoting my work; I am also rather partial to a glass... or bottle of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being my favorite. Being a born and raised Essex girl, I will happily admit to be being a big fan of spray tans, Shellac and am regularly, waxed, tinted and sculpted, although I am more likely to be found in thongs/flipflops than a pair of white stilettos these days.
