BOOK BLITZ!! ~ Crashed Series by Kerri Ann

Leave a comment
Series: Crashed
Author: Kerri Ann
Genre: Dark Gritty Romance

Release Date: Available Now

Crashed (Vol 1)

 


 

Wyatt
It was just another race.
Another hollow win.
Until her.
Sure, ten minutes ago two women graced my bed, but that doesn’t matter. I want her. I need to know her.
There’s something magnetic about Circe. Dragging me towards her like the goddess she’s named after…
I’d gladly drown.
I’ll have to prove to her that she’s more than a quick one night stand.
Circe
Wyatt ‘Casper’ Crown on a motorcycle is fearless.
He’s a champion.
No…He’s the champion.
Every man wants to be him.
Every woman wants to say they’ve had him. Most have.
I swore I wouldn’t let it happen. I wouldn’t fall prey to his dangerous charisma.
I know it’ll take everything in me to say no.
So what happens when the daredevil playboy doesn’t win?
What happened when the champion Crashed…
Crashed (Vol 2)
What happened when the champion Crashed…
Wyatt Crown was mine, and I was his.
Feeling his hands on my body, his breath on my skin, and the soft whisper when he said he loved me, he’d imprinted himself on my soul. I’d been cherished by a man that had once cherished nothing.
I didn’t feel alone anymore.
I’d found my home. My peace.
Calling out in the cold darkness, the lack of a reply crushes me. My world crumbles around me. My heart breaks, shredding into to a million pieces leaving me broken and scarred.
Why is this happening to me? Why again?
Once more I don’t know the outcome of those I love.
Once more…
I’m afraid.
Crashed Siren’s Call is the second book of the Crashed Series. It is best read after Casper’s Ghost. The Crown family continues within Careen and Whiskey’s Redemption. Both can be read as standalone stories, but suggested after Crashed, Casper’s Ghost and Siren’s Call.
Crashed (Vol 3)
Even the best racer can Careen off course…
Risen
Looking at the sleek motorcycle that pulled up beside my cruiser on the offramp, I expected a lifted ride and a punk. I never expected her.
Not the sensual princess of the Crown racing empire. The ever gorgeous China Doll Crown.
Arresting her was the last thing I’d hoped to do today. But it’s my job and duty to fulfill.
Fighting me every step of the way, Doll amps up my need to bend her over the hood of my car with cuffs…And not in a professional way.
Arresting her will be the biggest mistake of my career.
China
Stepping away from his car, the officer is every woman’s wet dream.
The mountainous thick chest that stretches for miles.
The colorful tattoos peeking out under the cuff of his shirt.
Then there’s those stark blue eyes framed by his sinful face…
Officer Risen Mason is heavenly.
Well, he was until he arrested me.
He’s the enemy as far as I’m concerned. I’m about to make his life a living hell.
Careen is the third installment in the Crashed Series. It can be read alone, but best read after Crashed, Casper’s Ghost and Siren’s Call.
Crashed (Vol 4)
One sip of Whiskey is never enough…
Jamieson Crown
I guarded my heart years ago.
I’m alone for a reason.
The rough facade is carefully in place to stop anyone from finding out that the arrogant, willful, crass, and dominant snowboard champion is a fake.
I don’t want them to see the truth. I’m broken.
Coming home to California to care for family, the last thing I expected was her. The dark haired, smart mouthed best friend of my brother’s girlfriend is a temptation I don’t need. With her fire, her sass, her sarcasm and wit, she’s perfection.
She keeps me guessing at every turn.
I no longer want to be alone. I won’t stop until I have her in my arms.
Carli Katana
I don’t do relationships. A quick one night stand here and there is just fine. Getting too close creates questions. Questions I don’t wish to answer. It’s safer that I’m alone.
No one wants in my family affairs. Even I don’t.
Then there he was.
Cocky.
Sinfully hot.
Dangerous to my libido…
Jamieson is everything I’d thought the perfect man should be. There’s no use in lying. Jamieson Crown is a delicacy.
I’m drawn to him when I should avoid him.
For his own good.
Will they be able to keep each other at an arms length, or fall into those arms they’re avoiding?

 

With an avaricious appetite for stories, Kerri Ann can be found quite often with her nose in a book or writing it. On many occasion it has been said that she’s in her own world, living in the stories of those she reads about, giving them a life they deserve.
She can easily be found under a tree in the shade, or reclining at Starbucks scribbling notes about new stories and new characters, all while keeping the coffee chain in business.
Whether late at night, at a music festival, or sitting on a ski lift, when the thoughts arise, Kerri Ann will add them to those in progress. So be wary, your antics could be in her next book.

BLOG TOUR! ~ Love Broken by JD Hollyfield

Leave a comment
Title: Love Broken
Author: J.D. Hollyfield
Genre: RomCom/Contemporary
Release Date: February 26, 2018

My name is Katie Beller, but the world, as of late, knows me as Bailey Swan, the love guru behind my bestselling book.

Want the shortened version? Here it is: 

Love was stupid.

A fake. A farce

Love was broken. 

Women everywhere were eating up my advice and fighting back against fake love. My book started a relationship revolution. And I stood by my story. 

Until I met Charlie Bates.

When I throw all my own rules and advice out the window after a week-long rendezvous, I start to wonder just how real my words were. Maybe love might be just a little more complicated than I thought. 

Maybe I’m the one who’s love broken.

My Review: I can admit that the first few pages of Love Broken had me worried. A cynical girl after my own heart touting how much love sucked…writing romance? I could have been Katie/Bailey Swan. But soon enough I was sucked right in to the story of Bailey and Charlie.

She’s an author and he’s an athlete for the NHL, and they both end up at the same hotel on the same weekend for the same event. But Charlie is…well he is pretty hot sh*t and women throw themselves at him, some of them don’t take NO for an answer. And when he makes a break for his hotel room, he ends up at the wrong room, pleading with the stranger to let him in. But Bailey isn’t so easily swayed by a pretty face. That’s the jumping off for a story that was both fun and heartfelt, hot as hell and so tense there were times I needed to stop and make a cocktail to relax.

But the key to Love Broken, for me, was the quick paced, witty back and forth between the main characters. They were somehow different but also well suited for one another and watching the push and pull was a real delight. I don’t want to give anything away but other than being written in first person, this book ticked all of my boxes!

 

Creative designer, mother, wife, writer, part time superhero…

J.D. Hollyfield is a creative designer by day and superhero by night. When she’s not trying to save the world one happy ending at a time, she enjoys the snuggles of her family and three doxies. With her love for romance, and head full of book boyfriends, she was inspired to test her creative abilities and bring her own story to life.

J.D. Hollyfield lives in the Midwest, and is currently at work on blowing the minds of readers, with the additions of her new books and series, along with her charm, humor and HEA’s.

BLOG TOUR! ~ Snowed in with the Stuntmen by Riley Love

Leave a comment
Title: Snowed In With The Stuntmen
Series: Behind the Scenes #1
Author: Riley Love
Genre: Contemporary Reverse Harem Romance
Release Date: February 25, 2018 

 

One snowstorm. Four stuntmen to keep me warm.

 

I’ve landed the role of a lifetime, starring in a major feature film.
But—there’s always one of those, isn’t there?
My ex is starring opposite me, and he’s making sure I know he’s moved on.
Paparazzi are everywhere, trying to get the story of why we called it quits.
I want to get out of here, but with a huge snowstorm coming in, no one’s leaving this secluded resort.
My four sexy costars are supposed to play the villains, but this weekend, they’ll show me I’m the star of the show.

 



“We have a confession to make.” Drew was directly across from me. When he flushed, it covered his head, which was kind of adorable. He’d legit been a warrior, and I thought he was cute. There was no telling what horrors he’d seen. What those hands were capable of.“Enough with the dramatic pause.” I tried to adjust the bra and only succeeded in drawing attention to the situation. “Tell me what it is.”

“Okay.” He gulped. I made the warrior nervous. “We can’t stop thinking about you.”

What?

“What does that mean?” I’d had plenty of guys adorably stumble over telling me about their feelings, but this was my first experience with a plural pronoun. It was still entirely possible I was reading this all wrong. But from the way Drew’s gaze hadn’t left mine, it seemed rude to survey the table to see what the rest of we was thinking. I could feel their gazes on me.

“We busted Harvey’s balls because he had a crush on you.” Garrett’s voice was low. Harvey? Really? But he didn’t talk. “The more we gave him shit, the more we realized we all felt the same way. So we started making up stories about what we’d do if we got the chance. And we kept trying to top each other, which one of us would fuck you best.”

I couldn’t speak. All this time, I’d been sitting in my lonely suite identical to this one, having the very same thoughts. It was overwhelming to realize that not one but four men had been fantasizing about me. I wouldn’t be able to catch my breath for the rest of the movie.

“Did Garrett make things weird?” Ethan asked, whacking Garrett in the back of the head. “Because if he did, we can pretend we don’t want to fuck you.”

There were two ways I could handle this situation—walk out of the room in a huff like I thought the idea was disgusting. Or I could stay and find out what this all meant.

Problem was, I didn’t think it was a horrible idea. One sinful night could be what I needed to get through this movie. These guys took risks on a daily basis, and I’d said I wanted to be one of them.

“No, he didn’t make things weird.” The words shook as I spoke. “Tell me some of these stories.”

No turning back now…

“We could do that.” Ethan stood and circled the table so he stood behind me. His hands landed on my shoulders, and my body tensed under his touch. He let go immediately. “Or we could show you.”

Short Excerpt:

He massaged the tender skin on my ass, running his hands up to my lower back and down my thighs. I concentrated on the way his touch felt, how pretty the snow was, and how much I felt like the woman I always wanted to be when I was with him.

Could I make this last? Or would it melt away, like the snow?

 


 

Author Riley Love writes books about the men your mama always warned you about. Sometimes dark, often twisted, and always sexy, her heroes will leave you begging for more. Pull up a chair, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let your fantasies fly.

BLOG TOUR!!! ~ Playmaker by LP Dover

Title: Playmaker
Series: Breakaway #3
Author: L.P. Dover
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: February 27, 2018



He knows every play in the book. But she’s calling the shots.

I’m Maddox Ledger, all-star winger and the reason the Charlotte Strikers killed it in the playoffs. Yeah, the tabloids like to call me arrogant. A real hothead. All I see is a guy who plays to win. Wreaking havoc on the ice, breaking a few hearts—that’s all just part of the game. And I’m sure as hell not sitting on the bench.

When my teammate asks me to be in his wedding party, I can’t refuse. Lucky for me, the bridesmaid I’m paired with is the definition of eye candy, but she’s so much more than that. Lacey Easton is totally irresistible and she makes me want to be a better man. A glimpse of bare shoulder takes me back to a steamy, two-week Vegas tryst I can’t forget. One I’m eager to repeat.

Suddenly our one-night stand is turning into the sequel. Still, Lacey’s keeping secrets. She doesn’t trust me. And maybe I deserve it. But I know more than she thinks I do and there’s no chance I’m letting her get away—or letting another guy take what is mine. This time, I’m playing for keeps.


“And we’ll be right back,” Maddox announced, grabbing my wrist.

He pulled me away, and I went willingly with him. I glanced back at Braeden and he started toward us, but I shook my head, stopping him midstep. Maddox turned the corner, his eyes burning like fire.

“I thought I could get through this, but I can’t. I’m so fucking tired of the lies. I know who you are, Lacey.”

My heart stopped. I pretended to be stupid. “Of course, you know who I am. Stop being silly. We need to get back to the wedding.”

He stepped closer, caging me against the wall, with his lips so close to mine. “No,” he growled low. “I mean, I know who you are . . . Paige.” Keeping his eyes on mine, he glided a hand down my bare back and reached inside my dress, circling his fingers around my strawberry birthmark. My whole body broke out in chills. “Did you seriously think I wouldn’t recognize you?”

“Took you long enough,” I snapped.

“Oh, I knew who you were right after you left me in Vegas.” My mouth dropped. “Yeah, that’s right, sunshine. A well-paid private investigator can find out anything.”

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author L. P. Dover is a southern belle living in North Carolina with her husband and two beautiful girls. Before she began her literary journey she worked in periodontics, enjoying the wonderment of dental surgeries.

She loves to write, but she also loves to play tennis, go on mountain hikes and white water rafting, and has a passion for singing. Her two youngest fans expect a concert each and every night before bedtime, usually Christmas carols.
Dover has written countless novels, including her Forever Fae series, the Second Chances series, the Gloves Off series, the Armed & Dangerous series, the Royal Shifters series, the Society X series, the Circle of Justice series, and her standalone novel Love, Lies, and Deception. Her favorite genre to read and write is romantic suspense, but if she got to choose a setting in which to live, it would be with her faeries in the Land of the Fae.

A FORBIDDEN LOVE SET IN THE EXPLOSIVE WORLD OF THE NBA…

Think you know what it’s like being a baller’s girl?

You don’t.

My fairy tale is upside down.

A happily never after.

I kissed the prince and he turned into a fraud.

I was a fool, and his love – fool’s gold.

Now there’s a new player in the game, August West. 

One of the NBA’s brightest stars.

Fine. Forbidden. 

He wants me. I want him.

But my past, my fraudulent prince, just won’t let me go.

 

He thaws me with his kiss, my prince, and I melt into him. Chest to chest, August’s number crushed between us, I take him in my hands, aligning our bodies, and two become one in a carnal slide of flesh. I anchor myself by my elbows hooked around his neck., and we kiss until I’m dizzy and our breaths tangle in a cloud of bliss. Under the jersey, his palm spans my back, digging into the naked flesh as our hips lock and roll and grind. My body clenches around him, and we pray, we curse, we moan, we mate like our bodies were made for this moment. 

Ours is a love that reimagines; that peels back the sky at high noon searching for the stars, collecting them like shells in a bucket. We bathe in stardust, drink from the Milky Way and dance on the moon. We pierce the firmament, peer into infinity and tread on time and space. There is no before. There is no after. Now gives birth to forever. This moment may die, but this love never will. Time is not a line. It’s a circle, and we, August and Iris, we stand at the center.
