Lyric by Molly McAdams….Blog Tour & Review

Lyric

A stand-alone romance novel in the Rebel series – a Redemption series spin-off

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Molly McAdams delivers the first captivating, stand-alone novel in her REDEMPTION series spin-off—the REBEL series . . .

I’m not the kind of girl you forget.

I wish I was.

I wish I was normal.

That I could blend into a crowd. Have a future with the man I’ve loved my entire life…

Maxon James understands me in a way others can’t.

For as long as I can remember, he’s vowed that one day he would claim my wild, rebel heart. God knows I wanted him to try. I wanted the life he promised me in his lyrics.

But his assurances couldn’t change the past, and the infamous mafia blood in my veins guarantees my heart can’t be claimed.

Somewhere along the way, I slipped. I let myself believe we could have it all. Now a dark, menacing shadow hovers between us, mocking us for daring to hope for a normal future.

And it’s come to collect on a blood oath.

My name’s Elizabeth Borello—Libby for short. Don’t worry about forgetting it… He hasn’t.

Oh Molly, Molly, Molly – what you have you gotten me sucked into?!?! Lyric is the first book a spinoff series from Redemption. While I only read one book in the Redemption series, I was in no way confused or felt like I was missing anything as I read this story. Honestly, this story makes me want to go back and read the other books just to know what happened in that series.

“Your heartbeat will always be my favorite song.”

Libby and Maxon have been in each other lives forever. Maxon has always told Libby that they would be together forever. But it’s on his return from a tour that he comes back to a different Libby – stronger in new ways, but also more distant. Maxon knows he needs to change things in order to get Libby back and keep her. But can he really keep her??

“You’ve given me the greatest gift laced with the cruelest pain, because I know…damnit I know any day you’re about to take it away.”

Molly slayed me with this book. I love Maxon’s determination to prove to Libby that they truly are forever, regardless of every wall she throws up. Libby is not only crushing his heart at every turn, but she’s also hurting herself, but it’s for the best in her eyes. Maxon has no idea who her family is and she wants to keep Maxon from away from the harm that could come his way.

“And I’ve spent half my life with your eyes begging me to chase you and one of your hands pressed to my chest, keeping me from catching you.”

Molly delivers a perfect mix of romance and suspense in this book. I love how everything played out in this book so much. While I was correct in guessing who was behind the mysterious mask, I was no way deterred from continuing reading this one. I was super excited I was right because I doubted myself a few times.

Overall, I absolutely love this book and can’t wait to dive into the rest of the books. I couldn’t stop reading this once I started. I needed to know who was behind everything and how things would end for Libby and Maxon. Now I must go back and read the rest of the Redemption series.

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur babies. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.

Midnight Blue by L.J. Shen…Blog Tour & Review

Midnight Blue, an all-new sexy standalone from LJ Shen is available NOW!

Midnight Blue

Author: LJ Shen

Release Date: January 18th

It should have been easy.

I needed the money. He needed a babysitter to keep him from snorting himself to death.

I was cherry-picked especially for him. Responsible. Optimistic. Warm. Innocent.

The worst part is that I should have known better.

Alex Winslow. British rock star. Serial heartbreaker. Casanova with whiskey eyes.

“Don’t get near the devil in a leather jacket. He’ll chew you up and spit you out.”

Sounds familiar? That’s because it was a headline in a tabloid the second time he got arrested.

Guess what? I didn’t listen.

I signed the contract.

World tour. Three months. Four Continents. One hundred shows.

My name is Indigo Bellamy, and I sold my soul to a tattooed god.

Problem was, my soul wasn’t enough for Alex Winslow. He ended up taking my body, too.

Then he took my heart.

Then he took my all.

Midnight Blue is the first book I have read by L.J. I truly do live under a rock because I just recently learned of her and all these amazing books she writes. I am not blaming myself for not knowing who she – I am blaming my fellow book nerds for not mentioning her to me before now. RUDE PEOPLE!! LOL

When I heard that Midnight Blue was a rockstar romance, I didn’t hesitate. They are my weakness and I love these books. Music and books are my two must-haves in life so when they come together, it’s euphoric to me. LOL Midnight Blue lived up to its hype for me.

“He scarred me. I decorated him. But at the end of the day, we were both tainted by each other.”

Alex is a true rockstar asshole. He wasn’t born that way, he just slowly started blaming everyone around him for his problems. I can’t even say they were problems, they were just problems to him because he was doing what everyone else wanted and expected. He drowned himself in those problems with drugs and alcohol which eventually landed him in rehab. His manager and PR are now gearing up for his world tour to jumpstart his career again. Alex is wild card so they hire him a nanny; they actually hired quite a few, but none ever stayed for more than 3 days because Alex is a bonafide, grade A asshole. Til Indie.

Indie is quite the unique character. She’s an introvert with her own style. But she’s now in a situation where she needs money and lots of it. Pronto. She lives with her brother and his family and life has been giving them nothing but lemons lately. But Indie is determined to change that. So she signs the contract of a lifetime knowing it will change everything for them.

Alex and Indie are highly charged fuses. Indie pushes Alex in ways he’s not used to. She doesn’t back down to him and refuses to be a doormat to his ego. Alex is too full of himself to see how much of an asshole he is so he continues to bate and push Indie. But he does eventually wear her down, something she herself struggles with. They are two wounded people who struggle to recover from their mangled and wrecked hearts.

“Alex Winslow was a broken vase. But I wasn’t the glue. I was the stupid cleaner who was about to try to pick up the pieces, and inevitably, get cut.”

I truly felt so much with this story. Shen writes extremely captivating characters with an invigorating story. I have so many quotes and highlights on my kindle, I don’t even know where to start. This book had me so wrapped up in these characters, I never wanted it to end. And there is so much more to this book than just rockstar and his “hanny” (hot nanny as Alex dubbed her). You just have to read to find out for yourself.

Alex and Indie create quite the storm of emotions between one another. They hate each other, yet crave one another so desperately. They are a disaster of epic proportions waiting to explode. The angst in this book is almost unbearable. It is heavy with emotions but damn worth it all.

Midnight Blue is not a sweet romance. It’s not the perfect love story either. It’s the story of fighting for the love you thought you’d never find. Midnight Blue is scarred and beautiful.

“Two souls collided on a took dark floor in a graveyard for the stars.
Funny, when you walked into my life I thought I’d be the one leaving all the scars.”

Excerpt:

Nat’s words came back and haunted me like a bad haircut from the eighties. An irrational need to check the goods took over me. It wasn’t like he minded. According to the rumors, his dick had seen more cameras than Kendall Jenner. Slowly—so painfully slowly—my eyes drifted down his sinewy body. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Whatever I had in mind, though, didn’t come close to the real thing. Thick, long but not atrocious. With thin veins running through its length.

“Nice view?” he groaned, tucking his junk back into his briefs. His profile was glorious. Strong jaw, pouty lips, eyes like sex…

My eyes snapped up when I realized he was talking to me. “I wasn’t…”

“Looking? Yes, you were. Next time take a picture. It lasts longer.” He rolled his zipper upward and flushed the toilet with the toe of his boot. He turned around and squirted soap into his palm, washing his hands almost violently—rubbing between each finger and scratching his knuckles like he wanted to shed his own skin. When he was done, he looked around for a towel.

I cleared my throat, scrambling to regain my wits. “Longer than the glimpse or longer than your performance?”

Casually—so unbearably casually—he wiped his wet hands over my purple dress. I gasped, moving sideways. It looked like he was about to open the door and get out, but before I had the chance to yell at him for using me as a human towel, he slammed me against the wall, bracing both his arms above my head and pinning me to my spot. I let out a shriek of surprise at the sudden proximity.

Alex Winslow is touching me. Willingly, my surprisingly pitiful brain squealed.

Heat rolled off his body, making my back arch and my breath catch in my throat.

“Let’s make one thing clear—I could fuck you to a point of numbness without even breaking a sweat if I wanted to. Now, careful, New Girl. If you don’t keep your distance from me, I think I just might.”

Cover Reveal….As Long As You Hate Me by Carrie Aarons

Title: As Long As You Hate Me

Author: Carrie Aarons

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Sarah Hansen, Okay Creations

Release Date: December 3, 2017

Blurb

Kara

High school sweethearts. What a load of bull.

He might have been my first love, but it never meant I wanted to hear lyrics containing my name, love story, and *cringe* how I lost my virginity peddled out for the masses to digest.

Seven years later, and I’m still being haunted by his photo in every magazine, his music on every radio station. I thought breakups meant that you never had to see the person again. Especially when they ripped out your heart and made hamburger meat with it.

But when a chance encounter ends up going viral, I’m tied to him in a way I’ve always dreaded. And the last person on earth I’d want to spend an hour with, much less a lifetime, makes me an offer I can’t refuse. I might just be desperate enough to take it.

Dean

The girl in the song is real. And she’s made me a rich man.

I’ve been dedicating choruses to her for a decade, she’s the muse she never wanted to be. Off of our love, I’ve become famous … and a complete egomaniac.

When another one of my flings goes off the rails, and lands me in hot water with the media, my recording label is less than thrilled. And so comes the marching orders from my agent; devise a scheme to transform into a squeaky clean good guy.

Coming face to face with her is something I’ve only dreamed about. If not to win her back, then to at least apologize for the ways I’ve exploited her. Instead, I rope her into my madness, proposing a deal only a masochist would accept.

Hard Lessons by Charlotte West….Release Blitz with Review

Cover Design: Sarah Hansen/Okay Creations

Release Date: August 28, 2017

Synopsis

Down-on-her-luck teacher, Daisy Clemmens, is about to learn some hard lessons. (Not like that, you perv.)

Lesson One

No matter how broke you are, never agree to a job that includes a rabid eight-year-old, requires a tetanus shot or where your boss is a sexy (and cranky) rock ‘n’ roll god.

Lesson Two

Do not, do not start to have tender, gooey feelings for the sexy commitment-phobe rock ‘n’ roll god. You’ll only get hurt.

Lesson Three

Okay so you’ve slept with the sexy rock ‘n’ roll god. But it’s not too late. Just whatever you do, don’t fall in love. Whoops. Too late.

Lesson Four

Never love someone, even if they are a sexy rock ‘n’ roll god, more than yourself.

What a fantastic book! Hard Lessons is hands down a must read! This is the second book in the Wild Mind series and it is

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

Daisy is a teacher looking for a job and as most teachers seeking a teaching job know it is a hard to get. She finds herself applying and getting the job as a nanny to a rock star’s daughter, Addy. A job she only accepts because she thinks it will be short term because she plans on still applying for teaching jobs. However, years later she finds herself still working for Billy and loves being with Addy. I loved the dynamic of Daisy and Addy’s relationship because it was a wonderful way to see who Daisy really is as a person. Daisy is loving, smart, kind and best of all does not put up with any BS from Billy, Addy’s father. Daisy is not secretly swooning after Billy either. She truly cannot stand him most of the time and only finds him to be a decent person when he interacts with Addy.

Let me tell you, I had no idea if I loved to love Billy or if I loved to hate him the most. He was everything I always expected a rock star to be written like in a book. He is attractive, wild, sleeps around, drinks and smokes. It is refreshing actually to see a lead character, especially a rock star, to be written like all the tabloids say they act at times. He is really a jerk most of the book and I kept saying to myself, “Daisy you could do better”. The next page I was saying to myself “aww he is so sweet”.

This is why I loved this story! It is not a whirlwind romance and it sure is not all roses and rainbows. Charlotte West writes these characters so well that I was not sure if they even liked each other let alone if I wanted them to be together. I even loved that Hard Lessons takes place over years. I never felt Charlotte West rushed the book to get to the end. I have to say it is one of my top books of the year and I cannot wait to start the next book in the series that stars Addy!!

Occasionally, she moonlights as a YA author.
