Release Day Blitz: Eden [Project Arma 02] by Nyssa Kathryn!


She thought he’d be happy to see her…

…but all she found was anger.

Why did Eden hate her?

The memory of that day haunted her. Eden told her to stay at the safe house while his team went on their mission. Then she found out he was being setup. Shylah didn’t have a choice, she had to do something.

It was a risk.

And she paid dearly.

Eden and his team had aborted just in time. They lived to fight another day. Fourteen months later and Eden was surviving. There was only one question on his mind, who had betrayed them?

Could it have been Shylah?

In the complex world of international espionage and war, love is often a causality. What will it take for her to conquer the mistrust and win him back?

You’ll adore this military romance, because the truth can be hard to believed when all you’ve know are lies.

Release Day Blitz & Giveaway: Steel [Dark and Dirty Sinners' MC 04] by Serena Akeroyd!


Steel's a prick.

He stole my heart when I was a kid, and ever since, he's refused to let go. He's clung to me, even as he pushed me away, and I'm tired of it.

I'm over it, and over him. Of the games we play together, the endless waltz of him hurting me to shove distance between us.

So I'm out of there.

My future is medicine. If I turn into a crazy cat lady, then so be it. I'm good with that. At least Mrs. Biggins can't hurt my heart when she poops in my shoes...

Of course, Mrs. Biggins doesn't kiss like Steel either.

One kiss.

That's all we've had together, and it haunts me. My nights, my days, my waking moments, my sleeping ones. A single kiss. Where everything, the stars included, aligned and just felt right.

But Steel isn't mine to have... by his choice. And I've dealt with that. For years. So when he suddenly changes his mind? What am I supposed to do? Just fall at his feet?

I don't think so.

Find out if Steel and Stone can ever be together in STEEL, book four of A Dark & Dirty Sinners' MC series.

Blog Tour & Giveaway: See Through by Brittany Taylor!


Guest Post!

Can you, for those who don’t know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?

Hi, I’m Brittany Taylor and I write sexy, edgy romance. I write everything from dark romance to suspense to rockstar. I currently live in Connecticut with my husband who is in the Navy and we have two sons, and two cats.

For most of my life I’ve lived all over the country, including places such as California and Texas. When I was a child I also lived in England!
Senior year of high school I had two free periods at the end of my day where I would spend my time assisting the librarians in stocking and re-covering the books. I feel like my time there brought out my true love for books and it wasn’t long before I found myself checking out several books a week. I gravitated toward the romance genre, specifically YA at the time.

Years later when I married my husband after he joined the Navy, we moved from Texas to Connecticut. Although I’d had gone to school to be a legal assistant and pharmacy technician, I realized my love for books was stronger than my passion for those careers. I started reading again and found myself wishing I had been the one writing those stories. It wasn’t until 2016 when my husband had bought me a new computer that I truly dove into writing my first novel, Without You.
And from there, the rest is history. I currently have six books published and am working on the seventh. I wouldn’t trade this career for any other. I love it too much.

What inspired you to write this book?

When I write books, I like to try to keep a wide variety of sub genres. I will always write in the romance genre, but I don’t particularly like to stick to just one trope.

Rockstar romance was a genre I had always wanted to write. After reading several rockstar romances myself, I started to notice that almost all rockstars were portrayed a certain way. I wanted to write my story with a fresh take. I wanted to write the rockstar romance that wasn’t particularly like the others. Therefore, Spencer Ryan was born.

What can we expect from you in the future?

Sometimes when I want to start a new book, I like to look at the last book I published and go from there. Last year when I had written my dark romance, Dissipate, I knew I needed to branch out in a different direction. Julian, the main character in Dissipate, was such a strong, psychologically draining character that I felt like I needed a break. After writing Dissipate, I wrote my co-written romantic comedy, What are the Chances.

After writing See Through, I knew I wanted to jump back into the series I had started with Dissipate. I was ready to go back to darker characters and more suspense. Last year I had published my romantic suspense, Back to Me, never intending for it to become a series. But then I wrote Dissipate and knew I wanted to write a third book into the series.

I’m currently working on Mine. Mine is a psychological thriller that will take place between the events that happened in Dissipate and Back to Me, making it Book 2 in the series. Although I’m writing Book 2 in the series, all three books can be read as standalones. Usually, I write where my heart takes me and right now, Logan and Lena are shouting at me to write their story.

Do you try to be original or to deliver readers what they want?

In the author world I feel like it’s easy to get swept up in what the current trend is in the market. For myself, I try to aim for both pleasing my readers all the while staying true to who I am as a writer. I firmly believe that if you aren’t fully invested or if your heart isn’t in your writing, your readers won’t love it either.

It’s like writer’s block, or what I like to call ‘creative lulls’. If I’m not feeling the story my characters are telling me, I put it aside and try to work on other things. I want my readers to get my best work and to love my stories. I feel like that can only happen if I write what comes from my heart and from staying true to myself.

Fame.

I didn't ask for it and I didn't want it. After nearly two years in the spotlight, I've learned that fame has a way of changing how the world sees you.
Somehow, my reputation had been tarnished and my manager was convinced a journalist was what I needed to show the world who I truly was.

But just like fame, I didn't ask for my story to be told. My secrets were secrets for a reason. Not even a journalist could dig deep enough to expose what I've fought so hard to protect.

Only this journalist isn't a stranger. She's the one woman I vowed to never see again. She's the one woman who saw me for who I really am.
And damn, if karma didn't have one twisted sense of humor.

Blog Tour & Giveaway: The Roommate Problem [Mile High Happiness 03] by Mariah Ankenman!


Excerpt!

   “Ow! Son of a b—”
   “Moira!”
   She screamed when her bedroom door flew open. A huge, dark shadow filled the doorway. A robber? No, that was ridiculous. Why would a burglar know her name? She must have hit her head on the way down for such a silly thought. A few blinks and the form came into focus, and of course it was—
   “August!” She struggled to get up from the pile of clothing she’d fallen into. “Do you always barge into people’s rooms without knocking first?”
   “When they scream bloody murder, I do.”
   She stood facing off against him. “I did not scream.”
   “You did.” His trademark scowl was in place. “Sounded like a building toppled over in here and…” His eyes widened, cheeks going as red as the hair on his head as his gaze shot toward the ceiling. “Um, Mo you might wanna—”
   “I might wanna do nothing. We might share this place, but this is my room and you can’t come bursting into my room whenever you feel like it.” Her temper was soaring due to embarrassment, the fact that he had been hiding from her when she got home—coward—and the smarting of her hip where she fell.
   “I was coming to see if you were okay,” he said, still looking up. “And I really think you should—”
   “I don’t care. It was very nice of you to come to my rescue, but I’m perfectly fine and you could have knocked first. Besides, I don’t need—”
   “Moira!” he shouted, slapping his hand over his eyes. “Your top is down.”
   Mo glanced down. Huh, would you look at that. August hadn’t been trying to give her a lecture on bedroom safety or cleanliness. The sweet guy had been embarrassed by her breasts, which were currently holding the neckline of her peasant top directly under them.
   “Whoopsie,” she giggled, putting the girls back in their upright and locked position. “You can look now, August. Your delicate sensibilities are no longer threatened by a pair of enlarged mammary glands.”
   He scrubbed his hand down his face, the heat in his gaze scorching her from across the room as those hazel beauties focused on her. Oh boy. Did it just get a million degrees warmer in here? It was pretty cool of him to look away and let her know of her clothing mishap. A lot of guys would have taken advantage and looked their fill. Not August. He resisted the sweet temptation her bare breasts had offered. Class act. She had to give it to the guy.
   And she would. If she thought he’d be agreeable.
   “So,” she said, dragging her finger across the neckline of her shirt, internally pumping her fist as August’s gaze followed. “Are we going to talk about this chemistry thing between us?”
   His eyes snapped up to hers, an internal struggle of massive proportions happening in them. But he didn’t say anything, just turned and stormed down the hallway.
   “Guess not.”

To Moira “Mo” Rossi, the world is full of sunshine, goodness, and happily ever afters—so of course she figures finding the perfect roomie will be easy. But after four creepos who ask if benefits come with the room and one woman who claims she’s a vampire, Mo is officially desperate. So what if the guy she agrees to on paper ends up being the Derrick Downer to her Sally Sunshine in person? She’s the queen of making lemonade.

August Porter expected his new roommate Mo to be like him—neat, practical, and oh yeah: male. Not the outrageous hippie with more stars in her eyes than there are in the sky. She’s infuriating, exasperating, his exact opposite in every possible way...and the bright ray of sunshine he didn’t even realize his gray world was missing. Suddenly, falling into bed with his roommate isn’t the worst idea he’s ever heard. Just falling in love with her is.

But one of them is keeping a secret that could turn their opposite attraction into utter disaster.
