BOOK TOUR & EXCERPT!!! ~ Ruffles & Beaus by Carina Adams

August 2018 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Ruffles & Beaus

Author: Carina Adams

Genre: NA Romance/Love Triangle

Published: August 23, 2018

Every girl who dances on a pole has a story to tell, one that led her to the stage.

My last year of college was set to be the best yet. Only a few months stood between me and the life of my dreams. Until my manager was arrested for embezzlement, our department was wiped out, and everything fell apart.

I needed a job. I was willing to do anything to pay for school, hoping to simply survive. Desperate, I joined Soirée, the private party company that offered something no other did.

I wasn’t prepared for Roman, the boss who thought I was helpless and hated me as much as I detested him. Or, his best friend Reid, who assumed I was tougher than I was and pursued me in a way no one else ever had.

I never used a pole, yet I took my clothes off as men cheered. My past didn’t lead me there, though.

My story began with the secrets I told as I fell in love with two very different men.

And continued with the lies I weaved to keep us all from breaking.

Gifted artist. Drug addict. A beautiful liar with the soul of a poet.

Connor Vincent.

Once upon a time, my foolish heart believed that my love would be strong enough to fix him.

How very wrong I was.

We soared to the greatest heights and crashed to the lowest depths together.

Starting over wasn’t possible.

Only a fool would agree.

My muse. My bluebird of happiness. The cunning thief who stole my heart.

Ava Christensen had been the best thing in my life, but I ruined us.

One more chance to get it right.

I would show her that I’ve changed. I’m not hell-bent on self-destruction anymore. I won’t be careless with her. Not again.

This time everything will be different.

But once again my past catches up to me, and I’ll have to prove that I’m stronger than my addiction. Stronger than my secrets and lies. Strong enough to be the man she deserves.

No more secrets. No more lies.

They say that truth is beauty … they’re lying.

Beautiful Lies is the second book in The Beautiful Series but can be read as a complete standalone.

BOOK TOUR!!! ~ Reputation by Dr. Rebecca Sharp

August 2018 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Reputation

Author: Dr. Rebecca Sharp

Genre: Enemies to Lovers/Rockstar Romance

Release Date: August 13, 2018

“I highly recommend this Rockstar Romance with the most delish slow burn that will have your heart in knots, flipping those pages, begging for a happy ending!” ~ Hot KU Romance-Dani

“Completely and utterly BLOWN AWAY! This is my first novel by Rebecca Sharp and I am speechless! The story that she created is one of pain but also one of absolute beauty!” ~ Amazon Review (palegarreta)

Small-town girl. America’s Sweetheart.

The biggest popstar in the world

It began with one guy and then the next.

Until my reputation preceeded me.

Yes, I dated them – all of them.

Yes, I also broke up with them. All of them.

Was it too much? The world said yes. Too many, too quickly.

And my star began to flicker.

The world knew nothing about my life and yet, their judgement weighed on me like stone.

My reputation was falling faster than a shooting star and the only way to save it was with the boy who never wanted me.

Zach Parker was a singer, songwriter, and sexy as sin.

To him, I was just the neighbor’s little sister.

A pest that had grown into a famous annoyance.

Zach Parker wanted nothing to do with me.

But he could be tempted – with a stepping stone to fame, that is.

The plan was simple: Childhood Sweethearts Fall in Love on US Tour.

The plan was to let them see what they wanted to see: our ‘romance’ blossom right in front of their eyes.

A romance that Zach had made painfully clear to me years ago would never exist.

I’m told that it was the only thing that could repair my image.

So, every night I’ll stand on that stage and give Zach my heart piece by piece, note by note.

We’ll give them a show they’ll never forget – and a love story that I may not survive.

Because who cares that in order to put my reputation back together, I’ll have to tear my heart apart?

I’ve loved and lost. Now I lose myself in mindless sex, drinking and work, anything to pass the time and fill the void that I feel. Another drink, another guy…until Chase Wilson. He’s not what I expect, turns out he’s also not who I thought. Then again, neither am I.

As life around me moves on, I realize life is worth living and that I’m worth loving. But old habits die hard as I struggle to understand Chase’s motives for trying to save me from myself.

NEW RELEASE!!! ~ Force of Nature by Melissa Toppen

August 2018 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Force of Nature

Author: Melissa Toppen

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: August 23, 2018

I met Thad Mitchell for the first time when I was just a child. I didn’t remember much about him- except that he pushed me off a swing set when I was four years old and broke my arm. Not the best thing to remember about a person but there it is.

He moved away a couple years later and soon became a distant memory. That is until I walked into my parent’s house after being gone for four years to find him sitting at the kitchen table with my family like he’d been there all along.

The second his blue eyes found mine it was instant- the attraction, the spark, the zing as some people call it. In that moment my entire world shifted. Every second, every minute that followed became a whirlwind.

Thad didn’t just turn my life upside down; he ripped through it– an unstoppable force of nature that wouldn’t be satisfied until there wasn’t a single facet of my life left unturned. And yet somehow at the end of it all he was still the only thing I wanted.

Haunted by a past he can’t escape- the only question that remains is can I find a way to calm the storm that rages inside of him or will I end up just another causality in his unrelenting path of destruction?

“This couple may very well be one of my favorites by this author.” -Rose Reads

“I have read everything from L. Wilder and I can confidently say that her writing gets better and better.” -Donna Parrott

“Awesome storyline with phenomenal twist. This one is a definite must read.” -Julie Jackson/Goodreads Reviewer

Even as a kid, I knew the kind of hell the world could dish out. I grew to expect the worst and learned to face it head on. When I became Satan’s Fury’s new enforcer, I knew I could handle whatever came my way—until Alex Carpenter, the gorgeous book store owner who brought color into my world of gray.

The club was at war, fighting an unknown enemy, and she was a distraction I didn’t need nor want. My focus should’ve been on my brothers and our latest adversary, but I felt an unexplainable pull towards her. Her beauty and innocence captivated me, and just being near her made the shadows of my past seem less daunting. Without even realizing it, I let her in, but as we grew closer, I quickly realized that her walls were even more guarded than my own.

Like me, Alex had a past filled with secrets. Could our broken souls find a way to mend together, or would we remain imprisoned by our past?
