HAPPY RELEASE DAY! ~ Tell Me Now by S. Moose

March 2018 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Tell Me Now

Series: A Show and Tell Duet #1

Author: S. Moose

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 9, 2018

Bryce Hunter is rich, confident, powerful, and dominant. Men like him take what they want from any woman they want. Without thinking twice, they use you, break you, and then leave the pieces behind.

Past experience tells me to keep my distance, but there’s only one problem—the attraction between us is undeniable. I’m failing to control the desire he ignites in me, yet I know what’ll happen if I give in. I’ll be the broken pieces left behind.

With no boundaries, it’s not long before his cocky attitude and persistence wear me down. The attention and adoration he showers me with make me see him in a different light, and all too soon, I’m falling for his charms. Falling in love.

Love isn’t kind.

Love isn’t worth it.

Secrets come to light, and I find out I should always trust my instincts.

I’m the pawn in his game.

And I lose.

In Tell Me Now, we meet Madison as she’s trying to get over a sudden breakup that she didn’t see coming. She thought they were headed for a future together with picket fences, snotty noses and matching rings, but he didn’t think she was good enough.

Ouch.

Enter Bryce Hunter who tests her will and her determination to keep her heart protected. He pursues her relentlessly, and she is unable to resist his charm, his good looks and pretty much everything about him. And the more time they spend together, the more her feelings for him grew and she falls. Hard. Then, of course, a terrible secret comes to light that shatters what is left of her heart.

That’s Tell Me Now in a nutshell, but the story is so much more. First of all, their incredibly hot night together was super fun to read. Fake names and utter hotness was how this whole relationship kicks off and it sets a fun, fast-paced tone for the book.

I really enjoyed Madison and Bryce and they deserved their happy ending. S. Moose is a new to me author, but I mostly enjoyed this story. It wasn’t my favorite book of all time, but it was a fun few hours.

S. Moose is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of new adult romance. She writes emotional and romantic stories that will make you swoon, cry, yell, laugh, and love.

HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!! ~ Kyler by CA Harms

March 2018 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Kyler

Author: CA Harms

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: March 6, 2018
Publisher: Limitless Publishing

He was off-limits. Forbidden. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with him…

Kyler was my boyfriend’s best friend. I never looked at him as anything more than a friend too, but that all changed when Beau deceived me.

One unexpected night, one moment of truth, and that imaginary line between friendship and lovers was crossed.

Secrets were shared. Desires fulfilled. There’s no going back now.

Our lives were changed forever…

Kyler is a romance that asks the questions, what if I’d asked her first? It’s a taboo subject, one that both men and women have hard and fast rules on. Breaking this rule can ruin friendships, relationships, lives.

What do you do when the girl who puts the fire in your veins belongs to someone else? Not just someone else, but your best friend? Because that’s what happens to Kyler. He watches his best friend Beau get the girl he wanted, Ashlynn, sitting on the sidelines and watching with an ache in his heart. But good guy that he is, Kyler never even considers doing anything inappropriate. Would never take his best friend’s girl.

Until said friend screws up ROYALLY!!!

What I liked about this story was the real life issues it deals with. People do fall in love with people society tells them they shouldn’t and all of us have to deal with it. For me, I was pretty much Team Kyler all the way, because of course Beau is written as kind of a jerk. I wish the author would have just made them incompatible because, let’s be honest, it’s easy to leave a jerk for any reason.

While Kyler and Ashlynn are good together, my only real complaint was that this all consuming love, this connection between them…well I never really felt it. But as usual, C.A. Harms has done a damn good job.

Rachel Loren Love of Reading – “I devoured this book!”

Lora – “The story flowed well and I found myself eager for more each time I had to stop for real-life.”

Zoe – “I absolutely adore this author and her style of writing and her book and I would recommend this book to anyone who love an epic love between two very beautiful souls.”

The sound of an approaching car gained my attention, and I got up and moved forward with purpose. Ashlynn’s car slowed to a stop just beside my bike and I barely waited for her car door to open before I moved toward her.

“What are you—”

I didn’t give her the opportunity to finish before I gripped the back of her neck and pressed her body against the side of her car. I used my own frame to hold her in place, and just before I kissed her, I saw her eyes widen in surprise.

A moan escaped her and I found it drove me. I knew she felt something.

I was so lost in our kiss, the way her hands circled my waist as she held me tighter that I didn’t get the opportunity to see it coming.

Something impacted the side of my head and I stumbled sideways, bracing myself on the side of Ashlynn’s car.

I faintly heard my name as I shook my head to clear the haze.

“You couldn’t fucking wait to swoop in and play hero, could you?” I looked up to see Beau standing between me and Ashlynn, seething with anger. “You were always trying to play the martyr when it came to me and Ashlynn. Looking for every chance you could take to jump in and be the good guy.”

“Well, someone had to be the good guy.” I stood tall and stepped toward him, closing the distance between us. “Because we all know you don’t have the ability to be the good guy. Too busy focused on every other girl besides the one who should have truly mattered.”

My words only seemed to infuriate him further, but at this point I no longer cared. It was out, he’d seen me kissing her. So even if she didn’t want this to go any further than it had, the damage was already done.

Beau gripped my shirt and I didn’t even flinch. Instead I chuckled.

“You wanna hit me?”

“Yeah,” he sneered.

C.A. Harms is like any other addicted reader. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories. She hasn’t always been a lover of Romance and had once been addicted to a good Mystery. Just recently she has taken on a new liking and now is a full blown Romance novel addict.

She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. You will always find her with her kindle or paperback in hand as it is her favorite pass time.

As the pair work together, their undeniable attraction draws them closer, bringing a realization that sometimes life and the people in it are worth slowing down for. But when Elle is presented with a plot twist she never saw coming, she quickly learns that crafting her own story may be much harder than she initially thought.

Faced with a difficult decision, she has two choices: write the truth or deliver an alternate ending she knows they both deserve.

Katie Fox was born in Florida and raised in Pennsylvania, where she still resides with her gamer husband and four-year-old son. An avid reader and hopeless romantic, she is a sucker for a good love story. When she isn’t found spending time with her family, she typically has her nose buried in a book or is in her writing cave, giving life to the voices in her head.

BOOK BLITZ!! ~ The Expatriates 1 & 2 by Corinne O’Flynne

March 2018 writinstuff Leave a comment

Title: Song of the Sending

Title: Promise of a Scholar

Series: The Expatriates #1 & #2

Author: Corinne O’Flynn

Genre: Fantasy/Action & Adventure

They told him his world was destroyed.

And they were the last to escape.

They thought he was safe.

They were wrong.

Jim Wales can communicate with animals, but that’s not why he lives with a traveling carnival. Turns out his family’s been hiding him there since he was little, since someone started hunting all the scholars. Jim is a scholar—someone who can manipulate energy using magic—and he has no idea.

When a message arrives from Jim’s supposedly-dead father, Jim’s whereabouts are discovered, their carnival is attacked, and his mother is kidnapped. On the run with a strange glass map and a single coin, Jim finds himself racing to reclaim the father he thought he’d lost, plotting to save his mother, and discovering the truth about who he is.

But going home isn’t the same as being safe, and trust is everything.

He’s the last of the world’s Scholars.

He possesses the power of the collective.

Now he’s got some unfinished business.

And a chance for revenge.

With his father imprisoned, the people of the Sweetwater clan still missing, and being on the Science Guild’s most-wanted list, it seems like everyone wants something from Jim Wales. But just because he’s the last living Scholar doesn’t mean Jim has a plan or the answers.

When the Fairy Queen takes matters into her own hands, she puts her people and the worlds in jeopardy. But where everyone else sees danger, Jim sees opportunity. Torn between his desire for revenge and his need to keep his word, Jim finds himself looking within to discover what he’s really made of.

But having great power and owning it are two very different things.
