Cover Reveal & Giveaway: Color Blind [Fans of Football 01] by Leigh Lennon!




Liz

A bond. A connection. Our difference in color didn’t matter; we were made for each other. A love so strong nothing could come between us—until someone did. Faced with an ultimatum, I made the only decision I could but it was never about skin color, for me. Saying good-bye to him left me in pieces, never to be the same without him.
Now, many years later, I am face to face with the man no one could ever compare to. The feelings I’ve pushed aside for him threaten to boil over. I must fight them. I can’t go back. I need to protect my family, myself.

Israel

Here I am, face to face with the one that got away, the one that abandoned me, the one no other woman could measure up to. I still need to know why she left. Did she leave me for her family money? Was it my skin color? She left by choice, leaving me broken. I’ve never been the same without her.
But now that she’s in front of me, I can’t let her get away again. My slightest touch leaves her covered in goose bumps. Liz is using everything she has not to give in. I hope she will. I need her to be mine, to once again be my Buttercup.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: The Boyfriend Experience [Jordan’s Game 03] by J.A. Huss!


Excerpt!
   
   She’s smiling up at me, her brown eyes turned slightly yellow from the glow of the lights, her cheeks pink. Flushed from the exertion of sex. Her breathing slower now, but not her heart. Because I can feel it underneath me.
   Still pounding.
   Waiting for more.
   Trying to match mine.
   So we can keep time together.
   I think that’s what hearts do. Keep time. Keep everything together. Keep this crazy thing called life in perspective.
   “One more time here,” I say. “Then I’ll take you inside so I can get you naked.”
   It’s too cold to make her take her clothes off. Even though I know she’d do that if I asked her to. I can already feel the chill of her beneath me. But my body heat will help. Will protect her from the cold.
   The deluxe package includes a boyfriend blanket on a cold night.
   She opens her legs, reaches down between them to pull her panties aside, and my hips adjust enough to allow my cock to slide up to her opening. Her fingers are grabbing my shoulder now. And even through the leather I can feel them dig.
   I want to take the jacket off so she can leave marks on me. I want there to be nothing between us. But I want her to be on the bottom at least once. So she can look up and see the surreal fantasy version of the underside of her water tower just like I did. So we can share that special feeling of being with someone you adore in a way that can’t be repeated.
   No one will ever make love to her like this again. Not even me. Because this is a moment and moments pass into other moments and no two are ever alike.
   She thrusts her hips upward, trying to force me to enter her. I just grin, because not gonna happen. Not until I say so, at least.
   “Come on,” she whispers, watching me intently. “Let’s go.”
   “We’ve got time. There’s no rush.”
   She thrusts upward again. “There is a rush. A rush I want to experience again. Don’t make me beg, Lawton Ayers.”
   “Begging?” I ask playfully. “Is that something you do?”
   She giggles, then gets serious real quick. She frowns. Pouts her lips. Widens her eyes. “Please,” comes out like a whimper. Like she’s been wounded and needs relief. Relief only I can administer.
   “Just take a moment, Oaklee. Feel it with me.”
   Her eyes narrow slightly. Like she’s trying to figure out what I’m asking.
   “The game is over,” I say. “That’s what I want you to feel. We passed it by some time ago. I’m not sure when, exactly. But the game is over.”
   “OK,” she says, her face relaxing. The pout is gone. The confusion is gone. And all her expectations seem to melt away. “We’re real,” she whispers.


From NYT Bestselling Author, JA Huss, comes a new sexy standalone in the Jordan's Game series.

I NEED A BOYFRIEND… and I need one now…

WANTED
One bad-ass man with boyfriend experience.
Must be willing to fight dirty and work weekends, nights, and overtime.
Bad attitude a must. Bonus points if you’re hot, athletic, and sporting tattoos.

When I asked Jordan Wells for a Boyfriend Experience game I didn’t expect to get stuck with billionaire real-estate agent, Lawton Ayers. He doesn’t exactly fit the job description.

WANTED
One professional woman with business experience.
Must be willing to build a future together.
Successful entrepreneur a must. Bonus points if you’re a crazy local legend.

When Jordan Wells offered up Oaklee Ryan a last-minute business partner to seal a deal I’ve been working on for years, I didn’t expect beautiful, sexy, and multi-orgasmic to be on her list of qualifications.

But that’s what I got. And she’s perfect just the way she is.

Too bad she doesn’t want me to be HER boyfriend. Because she bought me for someone else…

Blog Tour & Giveaway: Beneath Your Beautiful [The Beautiful 01] by Emery Rose!


Publication date: 17th May 2018
Paperback edition: -
Source: Kindle
Rating: 5 stars
Synopsis: EDEN

All I wanted was a fresh start in a new city ... and a bartending job. I never intended to fall for the sexy, tattooed bar owner.

Dark.

Brooding.

Emotionally unavailable.

But Killian Vincent is a challenge I can’t seem to walk away from.

He’s afraid that if I dig too deep, I won’t like what I find.

But he’s wrong, and I’m determined to prove it.

KILLIAN

Love can destroy a man. Bring him to his knees. That’s why I never let anyone get too close.

Until Eden.

When she crashes into my life, I'm ready to shoot her down. Instead, I fold like a house of cards.

Feisty.

Stubborn.

Irresistible.

She’s on a mission to knock down my walls. Dig up truths better left buried.

I need to convince her that walking away is the right choice… before it destroys us both.

I saw the sign-ups for the Blog Tour for this book and I had a date free, so I decided to check it out! I'm normally very picky about the books that I review, so I was surprised when I took a chance on this book and decided to review it for the Blog Tour! I'm so happy that I took a chance on this book though because I really enjoyed it! I was intrigued right from the first page and I found myself reading a few more chapters every free chance I had! The plot also developed at the perfect pace and it kept me wanting to read on and find out what was going to happen next! There were some seriously hot scenes in this book between the two main characters too and they were really, really hot! There also wasn't a lot of action and suspense in the plot, but there was a quite a big scene near the end! This scene changed the plot a lot and had a big impact on it! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Eden was the main female character, and in this book she had been through a bad situation that hurt her, so she wanted to get away! Getting away was the best thing that Eden could have done because she found a good group of friends and a love interest! Eden also helped her love interest a lot and she helped him through a difficult time in his life! Eden was also easy for me to connect with and I didn't lose that connection with her as the book progressed! Killian was the main male character and love interest of Eden! Killian was seriously hot and such a dark, brooding character in this book! I was able to understand why he was like this as the book progressed! My heart went out to him because his father was horrible to him and he had done something that he had a lot of guilt for! Killian went through a lot in this book, but I felt like he came a long way too! I also loved how protective Killian was of Eden and it was easy to see that he had deep feelings for her! I loved that this book was written from both Eden and Killian's point of views! I was hoping that it was going to be after I read the synopsis, so I'm really happy that it was! It helped me connect and understand both characters more and it allowed for more things to happen, especially as both characters were going through their own things! I also can't wait to read the next book in this series! I can't find any information about it, so I'm not sure if it's going to continue Eden and Killian's story, focus on secondary characters, or be a complete standalone! I still can't wait to read it once it releases and I hope I don't have to wait too long for it! I didn't know that this book is this author's first book too! I'm very impressed by it and look forward to her future books! The cover for this book is also stunning! It suits the book perfectly and definitely made me want to rad the story behind it! The cover image is also perfect at representing Eden and Killian's relationship! Big thank you to Emery for an ARC of Beneath Your Beautiful and to Enticing Journey Book Promotions for having me on the Blog Tour!

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Moonlight And Midtown [Fairy Tales of the Magicorum 1.5] by Christina Bauer!


Excerpt!

Chapter One
Bryar Rose

   7 p.m. Time to get dressed. In other words, time to change from “seventeen-year-old slob” into “cool Manhattan socialite.” Crossing my bedroom, I open my closet door and wince. A few holiday-themed sweaters line the top shelf. Clusters of bare wooden hangers knock against one another, wind-chime style. Out of my once-awesome collection of footwear, only two lonely flip-flips now collect dust on the floor. They don’t even match.
   No question about it. Being a werewolf is a murder on your wardrobe.
   And I have an art opening to attend tonight. Bummer.
   On reflex, I turn around, ready to sift through the contents of my dresser. Then I remember I don’t have a dresser anymore. Whenever I shift, I lock myself in my bedroom. My wolf smashed all the furniture in here weeks ago. In fact, she really destroyed my dresser, gnawing the wood into chips. These days, my bedroom’s decorated with a single mattress and tons of claw marks on the walls. I’ve taken to keeping my underthings in a drawer in the bathroom.
   A sad weight settles onto my shoulders. My aunties kept me locked in a penthouse so they could hide my true magical nature from me. With the help of my bf Knox and my bff Elle, I broke free from their plans and tricks. There’s no hiding the truth from me any more. I can wield all three types of magic: fairy, shifters, and witch. Even so, I’m still trapped in my apartment because who wants to spontaneously shift into a werewolf on Fifth Avenue and then end up naked on the sidewalk?
   Not me.
   But tonight’s art opening is with other Magicorum kids like me, so shifting shouldn’t be a big deal. Plus, my boyfriend Knox will be there with me, and he’s a were Alpha, so he can help me control when I change forms.
   All of which leads to the fact that I need something to wear tonight.
   Back to the closet I go.
   For a full minute, I stare at the empty hangers as if my old wardrobe will somehow magically reappear. Not happening.
   Every time I shift, I shred another outfit. And lately, I’ve been shifting a ton. Some mornings, my wolf tears out six times before I down my bagel, and it’s all because I first took my werewolf form only a month ago on my seventeenth birthday. Most weres spend a lifetime mastering their wolf. I’ve had four weeks.
   At least I have a master plan to fix my wardrobe issue: a shopping spree in Manhattan’s secret network of stores run by the fae. My best friend Elle is taking me because she’s both fae and an awesome shopping partner. With any luck, Elle and I will find me some unshreddable magic outfits. That is, if I survive the trip. Fairies are crazy. Plus, most carry a major grudge against weres. About a million years ago, some weres lost their cool and tried to massacre some fae. They didn’t succeed, but fairies have a long memory, and shifters are definitely on their hate list.

After battling werewolves and evil aunties, Bryar Rose is ready to enjoy her new life. No more crazy aunties. Her curse is toast. And Bry’s new man, Knox, is literally a dream come true. Best of all, Bry will soon attend a regular high school. Forget those sketchy tutors! To get ready, Bry is dedicating the rest of her summer to some serious back-to-school shopping with her best friend, Elle. It’s a blast, except for one thing:

Mysterious strangers are following Bry across Manhattan.

All these stalkers have oddly familiar scents and an uncanny ability to slip into the shadows whenever Bry tries to confront them. Even worse, their presence is making Knox act crazy with a capital C.
But Bry’s having none of it. Enough of her life has already been ruined by secrets. With Elle’s help, Bry plans to confront these strangers, find out what they want, and send them packing. Trouble is, the truth about their identity won’t be so easy to manage, especially when Bry finds out how these stalkers could change her future with Knox…and not for the better.

Book Blitz & Giveaway: Royal Service [Royals of Monaco 01] by Leslie North!


King Phillip is a real life Prince Charming. Golden haired with a Danovian accent, and a solid gold crown sitting on his head, he’s every girl’s daydream. He’s a good man and an even better king, but the one thing he’s been terrible at is choosing a royal wife — fearing a marriage that’s more about policy than passion. But when his mother invites all the eligible maidens to The Summer House Party, Phillip is trapped in a real-life Bachelor where he won’t have the option of quietly splitting from the girl after the party is over — he’ll be wed to her for life.

Ella Fernstone is tired of being the family servant. After her father died, Ella was receded to the basement as her stepmother began a full court press to cultivate her own daughters. Ella’s ready to escape the hot mess of a home that she grew up in by finally pursuing her dream of competitive riding: something she’s been preparing her whole life to do. All she has to do is marry one of her step sisters off to the King of Danovar to finally find her freedom. It couldn’t be that hard right?

That was until Ella was the first to fall for the King’s dashing good looks and an offer to ride off with him into the sunset. Ella is hesitant — a Queen’s life was still one of servitude, but it’s hard to ignore the pull of a handwritten love letter and a skillfully delivered kiss. Phillip too is caught up in seducing what he never expected to find: an eligible woman he might just learn to love. But when the reality of a royal marriage comes crashing down, Phillip and Ella must decide if they can risk their hearts, or their freedoms, on the chance of true love.

Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Fighting for Everything [Warrior Fight Club 01] by Laura Kaye!



Loving her is the biggest fight of his life…

Home from the Marines, Noah Cortez has a secret he doesn’t want his oldest friend, Kristina Moore, to know. It kills him to push her away, especially when he’s noticing just how sexy and confident she’s become in his absence. But, angry and full of fight, he’s not the same man anymore either. Which is why Warrior Fight Club sounds so good.

Kristina loves teaching, but she wants more out of life. She wants Noah—the boy she’s crushed on and waited for. Except Noah is all man now—in ways both oh so good and troubling, too. Still, she wants who he’s become—every war-hardened inch. And when they finally stop fighting their attraction, it’s everything Kristina never dared hope for.

But Noah is secretly spiraling, and when he lashes out, it threatens what he and Kristina have found. The brotherhood of the fight club helps him confront his demons, but only Noah can convince the woman he loves that he’s finally ready to fight for everything.
