BLURB:
I make my living as a hustler, and I’m great at it.
I don’t have a single tell and use that to my advantage to manipulate any situation.
I’ve always known what a person is about to do before they’ve even decided.

That is, until I met Nell.
I can’t get a read on her, and what’s worse, she doesn’t want anything to do with me.
Which only makes me want her more.

Now I’m in for the hardest hustle of my life.
Somehow I have to convince Nell that she belongs with me.
Good thing I’m always up for a challenge.

Like most of us, I am always a tad hesitant to read any book that is written by two authors, even if I love books by both those authors. You never know how those two authors are going to blend their talents and make sure that the book is smooth. Well Meghan and Jessica have done just that – I can’t tell who wrote what and this book was very well written.

Hustler is a romantic comedy with lots of hotness added in. Gavin and Nell are two extremely strong characters yet they are extremely stubborn and set in their ways. Gavin is the top rated poker player and wants to maintain that status. He’s a hustler both at the tables and in the bedroom. Nell is trying to live her dreams but since she’s arrived in Vegas three years ago, she’s been stuck waitressing at the poker tables, barley making ends meet.

But Gavin meets his match when he comes across Nell. She refuses to fall for his playboy charm and will give him a run for his money at any chance she can get. These two are combustible anytime they are in the same room together. But you can’t deny the chemistry that makes the air sizzle.

Meghan and Jessica have written a very hilarious, steamy and somewhat angsty read. And those secondary characters – woah!! I can’t wait to see what happens there – I definitely see a few more books in the future.

Bravo on writing a seamless story. The pace of this book is perfect and everything just flows together. I am looking forward to reading more from these two in the future – both together and by themselves. 🙂

About the Authors:

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

It finally happened, I lost my virginity. Cue applause and cheers.

For a while life was all rainbows and kittens prancing in a sky full of cotton candy clouds…that was until the demands of the real world set in.

My best friend is getting married and she asked me to be her maid of honor. She’s not worried about flowers, or the dress, or the food at the venue. No, she’s worried about the bachelorette party, what kind of penis crown she will wear, and the nipple size of the stripper who will be attending.

I’m in way over my head trying to balance life with a boyfriend, planning a penis party, and writing my romance novel. Something is bound to give.

This is my life after my happily ever after…

REVIEW

This was the perfect sequel to The Virgin Romance Novelist. And yes, you HAVE to read that before reading this. Meghan did an amazing job on this follow-up!

For those of who you know Meghan’s writing, you are in for a treat with her humor and wit. For those who of you who have never written anything by her – you may feel that she’s over the top with the quirkiness or how “impossible” certain things happen – but that’s Meghan. Nothing is normal and that’s what makes her books so fantastic.

The Randy Romance Novelist is about Rosie after she lost her virginity and has fallen head over hells in love with Henry. This is there ever after – with all the quirks and crazy happenings in between.

Henry and Rosie have quite the healthy relationship with great sex. Quite possibly too much sex. And Rosie begins to question things when Henry slowly starts to back off. Rosie finds out that Henry’s ex is now working with him on a project. To top it off – Rosie is acting a tad nuttier and emotional than normal and her body is changing.

Meghan has written another brilliant romantic comedy. It’s witty, snarky, hilarious, sassy and smart!! This is one couple that you want to see go through their crazy journey of love!

Her bosom heaved at an alarming rate as his rough hand found its way down to her soft, yet wiry briar patch…

Can you say briar patch in a romance novel? What about meat sword? That’s what it is…a meat sword, right, all meaty and sword like, slaying through the inner dungeons of a woman’s dark desires. What about breasts? Do bosoms really heave?

God, I have no idea what happens when private parts touch.

I’m a virgin trying to write a romance novel and can’t seem to write past a sex scene thanks to my lack of experience.

My two best friends encourage me to drop the pen for a while and gain some real life practice through multiple dating facets such as blind dates, online profiles, and random hookups.

But losing my virginity is proving to be tougher than expected…

Dirtiest Secret by J. Kenner….Release Blitz & Review

DIRTIEST SECRET

J Kenner

Release Day April 19

From the New York Times bestselling author of such “racy, sizzling Stark novels” (RT Book Reviews) as Release Me and Say My Name comes the provocative first Stark International Novel—the beginning of the S.I.N. series.

It was wrong for us to be together, but it was even harder to be apart.

The memory of Dallas Sykes burns inside of me.

Everyone knows him as a notorious playboy, a man for whom women and money are no object. But to me, he’s still the one man I desperately crave—yet the one I can never have.

Dallas knows me better than anyone else. We bear the same scars, the same darkness in our past. I thought I could move on by staying away, but now that we’re drawn together once more, I can’t fight the force of our attraction or the temptation to make him mine.

We’ve tried to maintain control, not letting ourselves give in to desire. And for so long we’ve told ourselves no—but now it’s finally time to say yes.

Dirtiest Secret is intended for mature audiences.

REVIEW

Dirtiest Secret is definitely not what I was expecting. I have to say this was my first book involving this sort of taboo, cause well normally I wouldn’t pick it up knowing what it was about. However, with that being said, I am glad that I didn’t know because I actually enjoyed the plot of this book.

I do not think that this whole plot would work if not for the taboo. Yes – Dallas and Jane were kidnapped as teens and thankfully rescued. However, their “relationship” is also what adds to the dirtiness of this book.

“And, yes, to curse the fact that the girl he wanted – the girl he loved – was the one he couldn’t have.”

Dallas and Jane are both trying to move forward with their lives. They are using their past to help other families who find themselves in the unfortunate situation of a child being kidnapped. However, they both have different views on how to help these families.

Jane doesn’t believe that vigilante groups help families rescue the children. She feels they are in it just for the money. Dallas is the owner of such a group but could care less about the money. He started the group to find out who was behind their kidnappings but in the process has also become a company that people call upon to help find their children.

Will Jane and Dallas be able overcome their taboo love? Or can they just walk away from each other? And what happens when Jane finds out what it exactly is that Dallas does in secret? These two have so much against them. So many secrets between them. But can love truly win once it’s all laid out there?

“Apart, they were safe. Together, they were combustible.”

I truly enjoyed this book. Yes, the taboo love has me a bit conflicted but like I said earlier, without it, this book wouldn’t be as intense and dirty without. I am intrigued to see if I am correct on who I believe is behind their abduction as kids (I figured this out at about the 50% mark). But that’s ok – I am more interested in how everything comes to light and what happens once all the secrets are revealed.

I am looking forward to what Julie brings us in the next book.

EXCERPT:

Even by Southampton standards, the party at the nine-thousand-square-foot mansion on Meadow Lane reeked of extravagance.

Grammy Award–winning artists performed on an outdoor stage that had been set up on the lush lawn that flowed from the main house to the tennis courts. Celebrities hobnobbed with models who flirted with Wall Street tycoons who discussed stock prices with tech gurus and old-money academics, all while sampling fine scotch and the season’s chicest gin. Colored lights illuminated the grotto style pool, upon which nude models floated lazily on air mattresses, their bodies used by artisan sushi chefs as presentation platters for epicurean delights.

Each female guest received a Hermès Birkin bag and each male received a limited edition Hublot watch, and the exclamations of delight—from both the men and the women—rivaled the boom of the fireworks that exploded over Shinnecock Bay at precisely ten p.m., perfectly timed to distract the guests from the bustle of the staff switching out the dinner buffet for the spread of desserts, coffee, and liqueurs.

No expense had been spared, no desire or craving or indulgence overlooked. Nothing had been left to chance, and every person in attendance agreed that the party was the Must Attend event of the season, if not of the year. Hell, if not of the decade.

Everyone who was anyone was there, under the stars on the four acre lot on Billionaires’ Row.

Everyone, that is, except the billionaire who was actually hosting the party. And speculation as to where he was, what he was doing, and who he was doing it with ripped through the well-liquored and gossip-hungry crowd like wildfire in a windstorm.

“No idea where he could have disappeared off to, but I’d bet good money he’s not pining away in solitude,” said a reed-thin man with salt-and-pepper hair and an expression that suggested disapproval but was most likely envy.

“I swear I came five times,” a perky blonde announced to her best friend in the kind of stage whisper designed to attract attention. “The man’s a master in bed.”

“He’s got a shrewd head for business, that one,” said a Wall Street trader, “but no sense of propriety where his cock is concerned.”

“Oh, honey, no. He’s not relationship material.” A brunette celebrating a recently inked modeling contract shivered as if reliving a moment of ecstasy. “He’s like fine chocolate. Meant to be savored in very limited quantities. But so damn good when you have it.”

“More power to him if he can grab that much pussy.” A hipster with beard stubble and a man-bun wiped his wire-rimmed glasses clean with his shirttail. “But why the fuck does he have to be so blatant about it?”

“All of my friends have had him.” The petite redhead who pulled in a six figure wife bonus smiled slowly, and the flash of her green eyes suggested that she was the cat and he was the delicious cream. “But I’m the only one of us to enjoy a second helping.”

“All your friends?”

“How much pussy?”

“At least half the women here tonight. Maybe more.”

“Man, don’t even ask that. Just trust me. Dallas Sykes is the King of Fuck. You and me? Mere mortals like us can’t even compare.”

Remembering Everly by J.L. Berg…Blog Tour & Review

About REMEMBERING EVERLY

After two years in a coma, August Kinkaid has forgotten the darkness in his past. But his past hasn’t forgotten him. His beautiful former fiancée, Everly, remembers every tumultuous moment of their stormy relationship. The sizzling passion. The web of lies. And the terrible secret Everly’s been hiding since her last fateful night with August.

Now the truth is out and August remembers everything. As his long-buried memories come flooding back, he begins to understand why Everly would want to move on with her life. Why she would give her heart to another man. And why August should try to forget her once and for all.

But he can’t give up on the only woman he’s ever loved. Even if he has to reopen old wounds–and face the darkest demons of his past–August will do whatever it takes for a second chance with Everly. He let her slip away once. He’s not about to spend the rest of his life remembering Everly when he could be holding her in his arms forever . . .

Add it to Goodreads here!

Get your hands on REMEMBERING EVERLY:

Amazon | B&N | iBooks | Kobo | BAM

So I was fortunate enough to be able to read Forgetting August and Remembering Everly back to back and not have the tortuous wait at the end of Forgetting August.

Remembering Everly takes off right from the WTF ending of Forgetting August and gets right into it. August is getting his memories back but as each memory surfaces, he’s realizing in order to really protect Everly, he must keep her away.

Everly is trying to move on with her life but no matter what, her heart belongs to August.

This book gives us all the answers to the questions we had in Forgetting August. August and Everly’s road to an HEA is definitely a rough one. But without all the ugliness, we can never truly appreciate the beauty in things.

While I found myself skimming parts of this book because they either felt repetitive or mundane to me, the overall plot was interesting. I love JL’s writing and always enjoy how she tells her stories.

Remembering Everly is told from both POV’s and with a story like this, it really helps to see everything from both perspectives. I definitely recommend this series. It’s a great romantic suspense to allow yourself to fall into.

The Fallen Prince by Amalie Howard….Blog Tour & Review

THE FALLEN PRINCE BY AMALIE HOWARD- BLOG TOUR

Riven has fought for a hard-won peace in her world, and has come to shaky terms with who and what she is—a human with cyborg DNA. Now that the rightful ruler of Neospes has been reinstated, Riven is on the hunt for her father in the Otherworld to bring him to justice for his crimes against her people.

But when she receives an unwelcome visit from two former allies, she knows that trouble is brewing once again in Neospes. The army has been decimated and there are precious few left to fight this mysterious new threat.
To muster a first line of defense, her people need help from the one person Riven loathes most—her father. But what he wants in return is her complete surrender.

And now Riven must choose: save Neospes or save herself.

BUY LINKS

The Fallen Prince starts off right where The Almost Girl ends. And Amalie moves this story at the perfect pace.

There’s a lot going on but not once do you feel lost or get confused. Riven is trying to locate her father who everted to the “Otherworld” (Earth) all the while she is trying to stay ahead of The Faction and Guardians. However, when she finds out that their King is in the Otherworld with her, she has no other option but to stop looking for her father and seeing what Caden needs. And it’s not what she wants to hear.

Riven and her new team find themselves on an unknown journey. There are pushed to their limits with fighting against unknown species as well as twists and turns at almost every corner. There is nothing that can prepare them for what comes straight to them.

Amalie does a wonderful job of creating these new worlds that are outside Earth’s realm. You can so easily picture what these characters are seeing and feel the exact wonderment they do. Amalie’s writing will you put you right in the heart of everything and have you never wanting to leave.

The characters Amalie creates are so unique and amazing. Some of them are not all human and it’s just fascinating to see each of them interact together. I felt like I was watching a very entertaining and captivating Sci-Fi movie. The worlds, the characters – everything just comes to life on the pages and flows perfectly.

Riven is a brave, intelligent and heartfelt character. Caden has a heart of gold and will stop at nothing to save his people. Cale is a cruel and heartless asshole but he’s very savvy and a mastermind at surviving. Danton is selfish and only looks out for himself but he’s also a very highly intelligent man who lets his power overrule his feelings.

There are so many characters in this book – I could go on and on about them. They are all unique in their own ways and help make this story extremely enthralling and enrapturing.

If you can’t tell, I absolutely loved this book and this whole series. I was bewitched from beginning to end. Amazing job Amalie!

The Fallen Prince Excerpt:

The flare of blue fire is blinding. Then again, it’s gone so quickly that even if you were staring right at me, you’d blink and it’d vanish. The emissions from the process of eversion—shifting between universes—are unavoidable. However, I try to be careful, everting in concealed areas away from people, and away from the eyes of the Faction and the Guardians. They’re always watching for those who break the law—those who don’t
remain where they belong.

Me, more so than ever.

I belong in Neospes, a domed city in a parallel dimension to the Otherworld. But I’m here in pursuit of a man who everted over a year ago. A man who nearly destroyed my world in his quest for power. A man so consumed with retaliation that to let him loose in either world would be a colossal mistake.

And so I hunt him. I’ve been hunting him—across thirty states and always a step or two behind. He’s clever, brilliant, and a master strategist.

After all, he’s my father. And he’s my creator.

I may look like an ordinary girl, but I’m far from one. It’s something I’m still coming to terms with, ever since I learned the truth. I am a product of genetic experimentation and advanced robotics. I am the girl with nanoplasm for blood—the perfect combination of human and machine, an aberration of nature—and yet, its greatest creation. I am the only one of my kind.

My name is Riven.

And I am a killer.

I’m an outlaw. I don’t fall in love and I sure as fuck don’t run… Until Jillian McAdams.
I fell for a law abiding Sheriff, breaking my vows to my own club, and turning her against her family of blue.An outlaw and a sheriff, it can only end in one way… Mayhem.
Now we both have to pay the ultimate price for betraying our families.
I swore to kill my brother, his allegiance sworn to another club, if I ever saw him again.
Yet here I am running to him in hopes to save Jillian’s life…
We both will have to rewrite the rules we know to stay alive.
Even if it means we lose everything we had in doing so…

REVIEW

Mercy picks up right after how Reign ended. So if you haven’t read Reign yet, you need to or you will be utterly confused as to what is going.

Jillian and Zeek are on the run after both the law and Zeek’s uncle, who most likely has taken over Zeek’s MC. They have nowhere to go and really no idea who to trust. They end up in the last place Zeek thought he would ever find himself.

“I gave into temptation, I betrayed the code of blue, I fell for a criminal.”

Jillian is a complete mess. She’s reeling from her father’s death – Zeek being the one who murdered her father right in front of her. She’s at war with herself, Zeek and figuring out the truth to everything around her.

“I went against my brotherhood. I slept with a cop.”

Zeek’s main priority is keeping Jillian safe and protective – at any costs.

These two together are explosive – both inside and outside the bedroom. They push and battle one another on every level. I love it!!

“Our attraction was a mistake from the beginning, when that desire grew into love it become punishing. Our relationship is fucked up. Forbidden even.”

These two are in for one wild ride. There is so much action in this book. It’s non-stop pulse-pounding, in-your-face excitement that you’ll find yourself flying through the pages.

As always with M.N. she never lets us down with all the nuisances and unexpected curve balls thrown in. She delivers an action-packed, steamy suspenseful romance that will have your heart pumping!

EXCERPT

“Just—Just get in the shower,” he mutters, pulling back the shower curtain.
“Why are you doing all this?”
A pensive look crosses his face. “All of what?”
“This!” I wave my hands around. “Holding that nice old couple at gunpoint, in here with me. All of it?”
His eyes rake over me, and he shrugs. “So you could shower.”
“So you kidnapped a little old couple so I could shower?”
“Yep!”
It’s wrong, so wrong. Yet, I feel my chest tighten with longing and adoration. I like it. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I can’t help my attraction to him. His stare is cold, his calloused hands rough, but his draw is soft and alluring.
“You going to get in?” He flicks a brow at me.

GAH!! I am so addicted to this series, it’s crazy!! It’s a drug that I will happily overdose on. HAHA

In this episode, we see how Bear, Skyler and Ashlei are after spring break and getting back into the swing of things.

Bear’s little brother, Clayton, finally comes to visit him at PSU. I love seeing the close bond between these two. Bear’s protectiveness of his younger brother is very apparent and absolutely warms my heart. However, Bear has blow to his heart when something unexpected happens with Shawna. Needless to say, I am not happy with her.

Skyler – she is just the sunshine in this whole bunch. She is like the glue that holds them all together. She is always making me smile.

Ashlei is dealing with the fallout of what happened in the last episode. And just when things couldn’t get sh*tt*er, they do. Jess happens – word vomit happens. Drunken stupidity rears its ugly head. However, it forces Lei to do something she never expected to do – come clean with her best friend.

I am quite intrigued what happens in the next episode. It is the last for this season and I really hope we aren’t left dangling too far out on the ledge.

“Hey guys!” Cassie says cheerily when they reach us. I watch as her face transforms from ecstatic when she sees me to curious when she notices Clayton to absolutely terrified when she realizes Adam is behind us. Or maybe that’s nervous I’m seeing. Maybe both.

Something is weird between those two.

“Hey,” I greet, pulling her in for a hug. “Cassie, this is my little brother, Clayton.”

Clayton reaches out for her hand, sliding his sunglasses down his nose just enough to peek at her over the top of the shades. “Well hello, Beautiful. You can call me Baby Bear. How do you feel about younger men, sweetheart?”

Cassie’s mom blushes and covers her smile as her dad lets out a loud belly laugh. Her dad is odd-looking, sporting the same fiery red hair that Cassie has except with bronze skin and not a freckle in sight. Her mom, on the other hand, has light blonde hair and green eyes with pale skin, the apples of her cheeks peppered with freckles. It’s like Cassie is literally the perfect mix of the two.

“Damn, I need to step up my game,” Grayson says, reaching out his hand to shake Clayton’s next. “Sorry, Baby Bear, but this little lady is taken at the moment.”

Clayton shrugs. “We’ll see what the story is in four-and-a-half years when I turn eighteen.” Cassie’s parents laugh again, but Adam’s mouth is still in a thin line, his eyes hard on where Cassie’s hand is grasped firmly in Grayson’s.

Kandi Steiner is a Creative Writing and Advertising/Public Relations graduate from the University of Central Florida living in Tampa with her husband. Kandi works full time as a social media specialist, but also works part time as a Zumba fitness instructor and blackjack dealer.

Kandi started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic (like most girls brought up on Disney movies).

When Kandi isn’t working or writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys beach days, movie marathons, live music, craft beer and sweet wine – not necessarily in that order.

A Mess of a Man by A.M. Hargrove & Terri E Laine…Blog Tour & Review

From USA TODAY BESTSELLING authors of Cruel and Beautiful, A.M. Hargrove and Terri E. Laine bring a new full-length standalone New Adult Contemporary Romance. This novel includes mature content, not suitable for younger readers. (Rated R)

Womanizer, Man Whore, Player, Heartbreaker are all familiar names to Ben Rhoades. He prefers Money Man or Sex God, but he doesn’t let other people’s opinions rule him. And he’s only gotten worse without his compass, his best friend, whose devastating death at a young age has taught him a valuable lesson about not getting too close to anyone … ever. Until one smart and stubborn woman with eye-catching curves throws him for a loop and refuses to be tamed.

Samantha Calhoun has her life on track even after the shattering break-up with the guy she’d thought she’d wanted to marry. With her chin held high, she focuses on her career, building her business and making a success of it all. Only a chance meeting has her lost in a set of alluring steel gray eyes that have her steps faltering and her heart leaping out of her chest. Forewarned by not-so-flattering rumors plus his no-holds-bar rules, she tries desperately to play his game while guarding her heart.

Only they have no idea of the journey they’re about to undertake when their lives collide. Ultimately they’ll tackle the biggest test of their lives because she is his game changer. The one, who through the ensuing wreckage, can domesticate the mess of a man that he is.

So I will start off by saying I am probably in the minority when it comes to my rating on this book. And please don’t take that as a bad thing, but I had a hard time getting into this book. But let me explain why.

The plot for A Mess of a Man is a good one. I enjoyed the characters a lot. Ben and Sam are two very different people yet have many similar characteristics. They both have huge hearts, strong and deep rooted friendships, and are very head strong. However, their views on love vary.

I enjoyed the interactions between these two. The attraction between them is immediate but they also know what each other is expecting – one doesn’t do the commitment thing and the other has never been a serial dater. So what happens when neither can get the other out of their head but no that nothing will come of this??

All that right there is why I enjoyed this book. I loved the camaraderie between Sam and her friends. Those girls are absolutely amazing and are the epitome of true friends. And Ben has the same connection with Cate – friendships that are just truly one of kind and built strong.

What really hurt me with this book was the writing. I could easily tell this was written by two different authors. The flow of the book damaged the overall take on this book for me. I am not saying that it was written well, but there weren’t smooth transitions between chapters and POV’s. At times I felt confused on things and it took me a bit to figure out what exactly was going on. It really took the sails out the whole book for me. I felt let down because I was expecting so much more.

Please do not think that because this book didn’t do it for me, that it won’t do it for you. As I said earlier, I am probably going to be in the minority on this book and say that is was just ok for me. Will I read a book by these two authors again – HELL YES!

There is finality to the sound of the door closing behind her. A sort of tormenting peace knowing the end has come. It’s not like I should have expected things to go on this way for long. How could they?

I stare holes in the walls as if I can still see her, the one woman I let in.

Sweeter than peach cobbler, she hardly has a bad thing to say about anybody—until now. Her parting description of me, beginning with ass and ending with hole, reverberates through my hollow heart, as I stand here rooted to my spot. I’m not even shocked, as this isn’t the first time I’ve been on the receiving end of that sentiment. I’m only surprised because I don’t think I’ve ever heard her so much as mutter a single curse word before. And the first time I do, it’s aimed squarely at me.

My hands tighten around a tumbler filled with amber liquid before I toss back its contents hoping for oblivion or something close to it. This road is so familiar. Only this time is different. I never cared like I do now. She means more to me than a quick fuck. Hadn’t I been about to tell her just that? How could things have gone wrong so fast?

Don’t be a dumbass. You can still fix this.

Instead, I stubbornly stay embedded to my spot because nothing can change the outcome. It’s a truth she and I know will haunt me until my last breath. And it’s created a wall between us I’m unable to climb … even if you gave me a damn ladder.

I’ve never been much of a risk-taker when it comes to matters of the heart. I can fill a bank account with a number having many zeros behind it from my astute choices in the market. But I can’t be a man a woman stays with. Hadn’t I warned her about that too?

Unable to see past my own shitty existence, I long for her to come back. I want to believe it’s all been some kind of mistake and I can forget what I know to be true. As the seconds continue to tick by, the inevitability that things are really over sinks in. My window of opportunity quickly closes as fast as her car door slams and the engine fires to life.

She’s so close, yet miles away. The longer I let the minutes expand between us I know distance won’t make the heart grow fonder. But maybe it’s for the best. Love, or whatever masquerades as it, just isn’t enough for the dirty, fucked up truth. Right when things were better than I ever expected, facts messed it up.

Groaning, I launch the crystal glass worth a small fortune at the door I can’t seem to force myself towards. A beautiful show of light plays off the shards as they cascade down in an explosion of fireworks. Visually, it’s what I feel inside as desolation constricts and then obliterates my chest because the best thing I ever had is gone … leaving me with only the certainty I’m meant to be with her.

I love you, I whisper for the first time and in place of goodbye. She left me and will never hear it. I can only pray we both survive what’s to come.

A.M. Hargrove:

One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager, USA Today bestselling author, A. M. Hargrove, realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn’t do something soon, it would be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life. So she made a quick decision to quit her job and reinvented herself as a Naughty and Nice Romance Author.

She fancies herself all of the following: Reader, Writer, Dark Chocolate Lover, Ice Cream Worshipper, Coffee Drinker (swears the coffee, chocolate, and ice cream should be added as part of the USDA food groups), Lover of Grey Goose (and an extra dirty martini), #WalterThePuppy Lover, and if you’re ever around her for more than five minutes, you’ll find out she’s a non-stop talker.

Terri E. Laine:

Terri E. Laine, USA Today bestselling author, left a lucrative career as a CPA to pursue her love for writing. Outside of her roles as a wife and mother of three, she’s always been a dreamer and as such became an avid reader at a young age.

In her early years, she and her best friend would tell each other stories over the phone when they were bored. They called them their “soap operas” and generally revolved around whatever boy they liked at the time.

Many years later, she got a crazy idea to write a novel and set out to try to publish it. With over a dozen titles published under various pen names, the rest is history. Her journey has been a blessing, and a dream realized. She looks forward to many more memories to come.

After graduating from the University of South Alabama, Scarlett Moore discovers her boyfriend of five months is actually married with a child on the way. Feeling used and heartbroken, she decides it’s time to take her best friend Jules’ advice to move to Atlanta and live with her. There, Jules helps her get a job at Entertainment Atlanta, where she works as an entertainment insurance agent. It’s not Scarlett’s dream job, but it’s better than not having a job at all, and who would mind working with famous people, right?

Then she gets assigned to EA’s newest client, Kade Evans, rock star turned actor. Not only is he a drug addict, he’s also known for never dating the same girl twice. He’s tall, dark, and handsome, has an amazing voice, and good acting skills, but he’s also arrogant and intense.

At their first meeting, the chemistry between them is undeniable.

The love that comes later is unexpected.

But Kade’s life is full of secrets. His past has now intruded on his present and when Scarlett finds out what his secrets are, the real deception begins.

It has been eight months since Scarlett Moore last saw Kade Evans. After being left hurt and confused she tried to forget about him, but he wasn’t easy to forget. She found herself thinking about him often. Even her best friend Jules did her best to get him off her mind by pushing her toward Bryce, the one person Scarlett was not sure she wanted to be involved with. When a new job opportunity is offered to her and Jules, they jump on it. The idea of starting over again and forgetting the past is enticing to Scarlett even if it moves her to Los Angeles, the same place Kade lives.

Kade Evans’ life revolved around his band, alcohol, drugs, and women…until he met Scarlett. She is the light to his darkness, his beautiful; the one that makes him see what the future might hold. That is, until his past came barreling back into his life, ruining everything. Hurting her was the last thing he wanted to do, but he did what he had to do to protect her. His plan is to find a way out of his new life before he tries to win her heart back. But life has a plan of its own and unexpectedly, Scarlett walks back into his life.

When they meet again, the fire she thought burned out is reignited and the plans he made are rearranged.

Just when things start to fall into place, they all seem to fall apart and the one person they think they can trust turns out to be the one to hurt them the most.

I’ve had a passion for reading and writing for as long as I can remember. It has always been an escape for one reason or another. Now, I’m taking that passion and turning it into a book. My debut book Lifeless will be released late summer 2013. I can’t wait for you to read this story that has been brewing in my head for over a year. 🙂

The Blue Room Series by Kailin Gow…Blog Tour

*****”Love love love The Blue Room! Can’t wait for more!” – P. Bennett, MN

*****I found my new addictive read! Can’t wait to get into the next book.” – Addicted to Books Blog

Would you sell your soul or body to find out the truth?

When Danny Blue of the Never Knights inherited his playboy billionaire father’s businesses and legacy, he didn’t realized his father’s pet project was the Blue Room, the most elite and secret club in the highest circle. He was happy to let his half-brother Terrence Blue run the club, but with Terrence’s womanizing ways and carefree attitude when it came to everything, he wasn’t sure if that was a good idea.

Terrence Blue wasn’t sure that was a good idea as well because it would cramp his style as a former patron of the club, but when he spotted virginal Staci Atussi starting at The Blue Room, he had a change of heart. Not only was Staci Atussi a knockout without knowing it, but she was the challenge he had been craving.

For Staci Atussi, working at The Blue Room was her solution to a desperate situation, but as she became integrated into the world of The Blue Room and the mysteries surrounding its patrons and the sexy Blues, she wondered if she had traded in her desperation for something far more sinister.

The Blue Room is a New Adult Contemporary Suspense Series intended for readers age 18 and Up.
