Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Lucky Penny by L.A. Cotton!


 
I was his lucky Penny. He was my light in the dark, hope in despair. Our bond was one of survival, friendship... first love.

But then we were ripped apart and Blake Weston became the memory I turned to when everything else in my life fell apart.

Seven years later, a summer working at Camp Chance is supposed to be my fresh start. Beautiful scenery and the chance to better the lives of foster children - kids like me. But when my eyes land on him across the fire, time stands still and feelings come rushing back to the surface. I thought I'd moved on, tucked him away in my heart. One look into his soulful blue eyes and I know I'm wrong. Blake Weston can heal the broken parts of me. Restore my hope. Love me.

It's our second chance. A sign we are supposed to be together.

Isn't it?

I was twelve when I survived the accident that killed my parents. Fourteen when I survived the devil. And sixteen, when I survived a heartbreak of the worst kind.

But in my twenty-three years, Blake Weston might just be the first thing I won't survive.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Nashville Nights [Nashville Nights 1-4] by Stacey Mosteller!


Save Me From Myself (Nashville Nights Book 1)

Tragedy and betrayal sent her running…
And now she’s starting over far away from the person she used to be.

Lyric Hayes tried to be the perfect daughter and the perfect girlfriend, but those days are over. She’s ready to begin again with a vow to herself: no relationships, no complications, and no turning back.

Easier said than done…

Confident, successful, and charming David Pearson makes her vow nearly impossible. He has it all, and David knows better than anyone not to judge someone by what’s on the surface. Wanting to own her heart, he’ll do anything to gain her trust and save her from herself. But David’s family could have secrets and baggage of their own, which could send Lyric packing and on the run once again. Is his past just another version of a song Lyric has heard before?

Never Wanted More (Nashville Nights 1.5)

Originally part of the Southern Seduction Box Set
Peyton Williams is spoiled, entitled and a little too stuck up. The daughter of an influential Mayor and a socialite mother, she’s trying to get through college and make her own path. She’s perfectly happy being a loner until Spring semester when she gets not only a roommate, but a math tutor.

Wyatt Parker is the boy from the wrong side of town. Known as the son of the town tramp, he jumps at the scholarship to play basketball in Nashville where no one knows his roots. Spending this semester tutoring a friend’s snobby roommate wasn’t what he envisioned, but Peyton quickly gets under his skin.

Peyton never wanted more until she met Wyatt, but is she willing to be what he needs?

Everything I Shouldn’t: Jeremy & SarahBeth #1 (Nashville Nights Book 2)

It’s been eight days, sixteen hours and forty-seven minutes since life as I know it ended. I know, it sounds so melodramatic and teen-soap worthy, but it’s the truth. Eight days, sixteen hours and forty-seven minutes since David found out. Since he kicked Jeremy out, ended their friendship and told me I could never see him again.

I didn’t plan on David getting suspicious, and I definitely didn’t plan on getting caught. My selfishness has cost Jeremy everything, my brother won’t even look at me, Lyric must hate me for practically blackmailing her to keep silent and my best friend is barely speaking to me.

Now my life is full of secrets and lies. The people around me have been affected by the choices I’ve made and the lies I’ve told. But what will they do when they discover the biggest secret of them all?

Jeremy is everything I shouldn’t want, and the person I can’t live without.

Everything I Need: Jeremy & SarahBeth #2 (Nashville Nights Book 3)

SarahBeth Pearson has made mistakes, and I might just be the biggest one of them all. After spending months keeping secrets and lying to everyone close to us, it’s all fallen apart and we are each left alone to pick up the pieces.

I’ve loved SarahBeth in one form or another her entire life. The steps that brought us closer together weren’t easy for me to take. After letting her dictate our relationship, I’ve found myself practically homeless and estranged from my closest friends.

Now I’m left trying to move on, finding a new place to live and getting everything I need in order, while she’s trying to mend her broken heart. There’s just one problem…SarahBeth’s still keeping secrets – and her secret just might change everything.

Pretending He’s You (Nashville Nights Book 4)
Part One of Two

Olivia Barrett’s always had a weakness for bad boys and Tyler Chamberlain is no exception. His tattoos, his piercings, and even the fact that he has a girlfriend doesn’t keep her away.

Interested in Tyler since she first saw him pick up a guitar, she’s been trying to find ways to be with him for years. He’s the one Livvie runs to when she needs a friend, the one who makes her laugh and holds her when she needs to cry. Unfortunately, they are never single at the same time and sneaking around is getting old.

Now, tired of making bad decisions, Livvie’s making changes. Her friends are all starting to grow up and she doesn’t want to be left behind. Terrified her friends are moving on without her, she’s determined to make things work with Emmett, her on-again off-again boyfriend since high school.

The only problem? Tyler isn’t ready to let her go. Despite her boyfriend and his girlfriend, these two are drawn together like magnets. When she’s with Emmett she wishes she was with Tyler and vice versa.

Will Livvie ever get tired of pretending and pick one guy? Or will she keep bouncing back and forth between the two of them indefinitely?

Blog Tour: Elusive Love by K.A. Robinson!


Publication date: 17th November 2015
Paperback edition: 178 pages
Source: Kindle
Rating: 3.5 stars
Synopsis: Love is often elusive, hard to find and even harder to hold on to.

Caley Rogers knew that from a young age.

When Joey Sanders walks into her life, she thinks she’s finally found the love she has so desperately been seeking.

Five years, a marriage, and a child later, Caley realizes her mistake. Trapped in a life with no love at all, she seeks out an old friend who quickly becomes her confidant.

Ethan Blake has loved Caley for years. When she reenters his life one random night, he never expects more than friendship, but after weeks of secret meetings and listening to Caley’s confessions of a loveless marriage, the unthinkable happens. Ethan and Caley finally share their true feelings for one another.

Now, they must face the consequences of their emotions—dealing with not only the uncertainty of their situation and Caley and Ethan’s guilt, but also with the end of Caley’s marriage to a man who isn’t ready to let go.

Love is more than just an emotion. It’s more than a single word. To Caley and Ethan, it’s everything.

I've read quite a few of this author's other books, but when I got an email about this book, I knew I really wanted to read it! I absolutely loved the cover and the synopsis sounded amazing, so I signed up for the Blog Tour! After reading, I have to say that I liked his book, but I didn't love it anywhere near as much as I was expecting too! I just found the plot a bit weird and unrealistic! I mean, the main character messages an old friend on Facebook and admits everything that's wrong with her life! I just found that completely unrealistic! She then starts meeting up with the guy and ends up leaving her husband and starting a relationship with the guy she spoke to online! I mean no disrespect towards the author on my thoughts, but I have to be honest with how I feel about this book! I did enjoy some bits of the plot and the hot scenes were really hot! The characters were great! Caley was the main female character, and she was someone who hadn't had any attention from boys, so when one boy did pay her a bit of attention, she ended up married him and that marriage later turned out to be the worst mistake ever! I did feel sorry for Caley because she was broken and she didn't have any confidence, but I also wished that she would have grown a backbone and did what was best for her and her daughter! I also didn't like that one minute she didn't want to leave her husband for the sake of her daughter, but then the next minute she left her husband for the sake of her daughter! It just confused me! I liked Caley though and I was happy that she started to become more confident and happier as the plot progressed! Ethan was the main love interest of Caley, and Ethan was a very honest and upfront guy! He tried to help Caley with her situation with her marriage and he gave her really good advice! Ethan was also really hot! He was also trying his hardest to support himself and have a good career! This made me have a lot of respect for him! Ethan was also seriously hot with Caley and I could see that he had genuine feelings for her! He treated her like a guy should treat a girl and he helped Caley get her confidence back and he showed her that looks and weight weren't everything! I loved that this book was written from both Caley and Ethan's point of views! I wasn't sure if was going to be, but it added a lot to the plot and helped me connect more with both characters! I can completely understand why this book is a standalone! Everything in the plot was wrapped up and the ending was left at the perfect place! Even though I didn't really enjoy this book, I am excited to see what this author releases next! I've loved all her other books that I've read, so I can't wait to read more from her! The cover for this book is stunning! I loved it as soon as I saw it and it made me want to read the book even more! I bet it looks even more stunning in paperback! Thank you to K.A. Robinson for having me on the Blog Tour for Elusive Love!

Cover Reveal & Giveaway: Runaway Heart [Game of Hearts 02] by Sonya Loveday & Candace Knoebel!


 
 
One Hurricane. Two Strangers. No Rules.

Hannah Adamson was immune to relationships. Swearing men off long ago, she buried her painful reasons under her feisty independence and a passion for roller derby. Until she met Ed and was swept away by the tall, witty, sarcastically sexy best man who might just be the one to have the antidote for her runaway heart.

Ed Alcott wasn’t looking for love, especially not after a particularly nasty breakup left him with a shattered heart in desperate need of repair.

Taking shelter together when a hurricane bears down on Rum Cay, Hannah and Ed find they can't fight their growing attraction. It was supposed to be simple. Easy. A weekend of passion with no strings. But how do you forget the one who stripped away all your layers, and haunts your dreams?

Can Hannah keep the scattered pieces of her heart in check, or will the promise of Ed’s love be enough to mend them back together?
