“Stay is a power, heart-wrenching story that will consume you heart and soul, leaving you utterly breathless days after the last page is read.” – Kelly Elliott New York Times bestselling author

Synopsis:

From NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author A.L. Jackson comes the next sexy, gripping Bleeding Stars Stand-Alone Novel…

I’m Ash Evans.
The life of the party.
Hot. Rich. Charismatic.
A tattooed rock star with the world at my feet.
I burn through women faster than the strike of a match.

I’ve embraced my lifestyle and live it to the fullest.
Until the day my lifestyle caught up to me.

Willow Langston found me at my lowest.
Literally.
Facedown in a puddle of my own blood.

I owe her my life and I have three months to repay that debt.
What I never should have done was touch her. Kiss her. Take her to my bed.

Love wasn’t supposed to be a part of the equation.
I gave up that nasty complication a long damned time ago.
Now I want her more than my next breath.
But she doesn’t know what I know.

Do I leave to protect her? Or can I face my demons and ask her to Stay?

Stay is the 5th book in the Bleeding Stars series.  Ash’s story – the party boy, the carefree one.

I was not expecting this story.  I knew he harbored guilt over what happened to his sister Edie.  But before all that, he was the easy going, party loving guy of the whole Band. 

“Even wild souls need a place to rest.”

Willow is a breath of fresh air.  She’s sees the beauty in everything; even after everything she ever wanted and had was taken greedily from her.  Her life is filled with a lot of tragic events, but she’s always been able to still find the sliver lining.

“That’s your gift. You see the beauty in the old.  The beauty in the bad.  The beauty that’s hidden in all things.”

Willow and Ash are from two different worlds.  They are two different people.  And when their worlds collide, it’s a force to be reckon with.  But it’s a whirlwind of chaos between the two of them.  Ash refuses to let his heart be owned again.  And Willow refuses to give her heart to anyone who can’t give theirs in return.

“Sometimes our greatest gifts are found in our darkest hour.”

I had figured this story was going to be about finding love in places you never expected.  And yes, that is the underlying tone in this story.  But it’s the heartache, the loss, the tragedies that give this book the depth.  Like with every Bleeding Stars book, there is no shortage of emotions.  You see a side of Ash that we never could have anticipated.  And we get to watch Willow bloom into a new woman – one that was waiting to burst out from the inside.

“One thing you should never do is mistake broken for weak.”

With each new book in this series, I find myself loving them all more and more.  Ash’s story was so unexpected.  And Willow – she’s a fighter.  Their journey isn’t an easy one – it’s filled with some much fear, loss, heartbreak but also hopes and dreams.

“Love is never cut and dry.  It’s messy.  Confusing.  Sometimes it’s ugly and sometimes it’s the most beautiful things you’ve ever seen.  But no matter how much it might hurt, it can never change the fact it’s real.  That it’s worth fighting for.  And the real kind of love will always come back to you.”

Excerpt

 

Cash’s POV“Stay.”

It’s uttered so quietly, I assume she’s dreaming. Without turning to look at her, I take another step out of the room.

“Please.”

There is a desperate sound in her tone that seizes my heart and traps the air in my lungs. Turning back, I go to the side of the bed and crouch down, so I’m eye-level with her. Softly, I push the hair off her forehead and hold her gaze. All her defenses are down. If a person’s eyes are windows to their soul, I feel like I’m seeing into the depths of her. Seeing all the broken pieces.

“All right, baby girl, I’ll stay.”

And here we have it people…The first book to make me cry of the year-Healing the Broken by K. Street! Healing the Broken will grab your insides, hold them tight, then K. Street will let you go out of her grips and you will feel just as beaten down as Ryann Sinclair. K. Street wrote this book so vividly and with such emotion that it was just amazing! I wish I could really describe how beautifully written this book was. Street took an unapproachable subject matter and wrote it beautifully with such grace and style. I felt every emotion the characters did-happiness, sadness, broken, love, and the feeling of just giving up. To be able to feel of that while reading is truly unique and my hat is off to K. Street for making that possible.

Healing the Broken was not a rushed love story and truly did not leave any emotion unturned. When an author can make you see exactly what they are writing, to actually be able to visualize the events and actions let alone the characters, is truly an amazing gift.

Ryann Sinclair is not your ordinary character. She is trying to forget her past. However, her horrific past is what makes her strong but also can break her at any moment. Normally I see characters that are broken, cry and fall apart but Ryann has a badass side to her! Ryann also as a huge wall up that only Cash can penetrate.

Cash is well- just say hello to your new book boyfriend. Whew and let me tell you to have a man stand behind you, support you and be there for you in your best and darkest moments- isn’t that what we all want ladies? Cash is that guy. I adore this story and couple because there is not a moment he leaves her. When she pushes him away- he stays! I love that. I love that he never says enough of this. I love that K. Street doesn’t make them a typical couple in a romance novel.

my heart have become second nature. But Jameson Strauss… he’s my weakness.
Give me the occasional shot of
tequila, a game of Truth or Dare, and I’ll do almost anything for that man.
*

truly living. But, the day Ashton Sullivan needed me was the day my world changed for the
better.
Tequila, truths, and the occasional
dare are all I need to show her how good we can be.

dare.
 
  

Special price of $.99
through release weekend

 

Tequila and Tailgates is the second book in Andrea’s Country Road series and it can be read as a standalone.  However, we do have updates on the couple from the first book so if you want to know about their story, go back and read Whiskey and Honey first, then come read this one.

“Truth or Dare”

I enjoyed this sweet and sassy story.  Jameson and Ashton have grown up beside one another.  He’s her brother’s best friend.  Yes, I know this cliché is starting to run its course, but I liked Andrea’s take on it.  Neither have really pined after the other one throughout the years.  It’s just that one night that changed everything between them.

They’ve kept their distance as much as possible and have learned to deal with one another when they’re together since they do have the same circle of friends.  But now due to a freak accident, Ashton finds herself having to live with Jameson until her house is repaired.  And then they add something in their new roommate status…..

” ‘One Rule.’

‘Fine, what?’

‘Monogamy.  No sleeping with others.  If you meet someone and want to hook up, you tell me first and this ends.’

‘Deal. But, I have one too.’

‘Oookkkaayyy,’ I reply.

‘Don’t fall in love with me, Sunshine.’

Planting a quick kiss on my lips, he laughs and turns toward the stove.

Jameson may be joking, but it is also likely a little too late.”

Jameson and Ashton are quite a pair together.  They both are fighting the same battle towards each other but never realizing the other is having the same issues.  They have some work to do in the communications department and they both know it.  They just refuse to truly accept what they are feeling, not only to themselves but to one another.

Andrea writes quite the funny and sassy story between these two.  There are no short of jabs and witty come backs in this book.  It’s funny how two people who are so compatible are completely blind to it themselves.  Andrea brings everything full circle in the end and I feel she pulled it all together in a nice pace.  Nothing was rushed and everything fell into place.

Great follow up to the first book.  I am looking forward to Owen and Landon’s books!!!

 

 

We spent the entire weekend at the
lake eating, drinking, and swimming. It’s a tradition that we maintain to this day. On the
final night of the weekend, Jameson and I were the last two awake by the fire. I think together
we managed to consume an entire bottle of tequila. And, as it often is, the alcohol was a sort of
truth serum for us.
We started a game of Truth or Dare,
which never quite mustered a dare. Until the end. Truths varied from cheating on history tests to
sneaking in after curfew and even first crushes. I admitted to my fear of small children and
Jameson admitted his fear of a woman dressed in head-to-toe leopard. We laughed and we
cried. Tears from laughter, not sadness.
Then he asked me the final truth or
dare as I took my last shot and handed him the bottle.
“Truth or Dare,
Ash?”
 
“Hmmm. Well,
considering we’ve just demolished a bottle of tequila, neither seems like a good idea.
I’m likely to break a leg or make an ass of myself.”
 
“I’d go with the
ass part. I don’t think either of us wants a lecture from Piper if we have to go to the
hospital.” 
 
“Ain’t that the
truth. Okay then. Truth it is. Hit me.”
 
“Do you ever think about
kissing me?”
 
Seconds that feel like minutes
pass between us. Something glimmers in his eyes as he asks me. Screw it, I can always blame
the tequila.
 
“Yes.” 
 
His breath hitches and a sinister
smile takes over my face. Two can play this game.
 
“Your turn, J. Truth or
Dare?”
 
He stands and finishes the
tequila straight from the bottle and takes the three steps necessary to stand in front of me. He
bends so that his hands rest on the arms of my chair and leans in. I can smell the tequila on his
breath mixing with mine. My own breath hitches.
 
“Dare,
Sunshine.” 
 
“I hate that
name.”
 
“I
know.”
 
Our words are
whispers.
 
“I dare you to kiss
me.”

cocktail in hand all at the same time.
   

The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan….Blog Tour & Review

 

RMbanner

 

room-mate_amazonThe last time I saw my best friend’s younger brother, he was a geek wearing braces. But when Cannon shows up to crash in my spare room, I get a swift reality check.

Now twenty-four, he’s broad shouldered and masculine, and so sinfully sexy, I want to climb him like the jungle gyms we used to enjoy. At six-foot-something with lean muscles hiding under his T-shirt, a deep sexy voice, and full lips that pull into a smirk when he studies me, he’s pure temptation.

Fresh out of a messy breakup, he doesn’t want any entanglements. But I can resist, right?

I’m holding strong until the third night of our new arrangement when we get drunk and he confesses his biggest secret of all: he’s cursed when it comes to sex. Apparently he’s a god in bed, and women instantly fall in love with him.

I’m calling bullshit. In fact, I’m going to prove him wrong, and if I rack up a few much-needed orgasms in the process, all the better.

There’s no way I’m going to fall in love with Cannon. But once we start…I realize betting against him may have been the biggest mistake of my life.

Kendall Ryan is my go-to for quick, no-drama, romantic reads.  And she never fails.

The Room Mate is sexy, comical and cute book that starts Kendall’s 2017 out with bang – both literally and figuratively.  HA!

Paige and Cannon grew up together.  Cannon is the little brother of Allie, Paige’s BFF.   Paige always saw him as her nerdy little brother, til the day she shows up on her doorstep.  He’s not 24 and going through his residency for medical school.  And yea, he looks like a walking billboard.

Paige keeps telling herself that she’s doing her best friend a favor by allowing her brother to crash at her place for two months after he was evicted from his old place due to former flame causing some major issues.

Everything will be fine.  These two are grown adults.  They can handle the attraction and not act upon it.  But wait – that’s not really the problem.  They both could use some non-commitment sex.  Everyone woman Cannon sleeps with seems to fall in insta-love with him.  And well Paige needs to get in game.  Plus she wants to prove that to Cannon that his actions in the sack won’t make her fall in love with him.

Kendall is always able to write some great characters.  They are always relatable in some way.  And their interactions with one another are always so natural and at times quick funny.  Kendall’s writing is always on-point and keeps the book moving at a great pace.  I never want to put her books down once I start them.

Another great hit to add to her already humungous pile of great achievements.

Ethan Hades (Gods Among Men) by Kat Austen…Blog Tour

 

AP new - buy the book.jpg

 

 

 
AP new - synopsis.jpg

 

Ethan Hades falls into the god category . . . though the myths surrounding Hades are far different than the truth of who he really is. God of the Underworld is just one of his many responsibilities. After spending centuries alone, a scapegoat for anything and everything that goes wrong in the world, he’s given up on life. He gave up on love way before that.

 Until one day a woman he can’t ignore walks into his life. They have nothing in common—that she’s mortal being is only one of the many differences between them. Holland Corbin is everything Ethan has been waiting an eternity to find. One problem—she’s hell-bent on keeping him as far away from her as possible and looks at him like he’s the devil himself. Which, okay, she has good instincts.

 He might have to move heaven and hell to get her to accept and admit her feelings for him. He might have to forfeit his own infinite existence to be with her. He might have to stand in contempt of the only set of laws he’s ever followed. But he will. He’d give everything to be with her, and he just might be forced to pay that exact price.

 He’s damned either way. Might as well go out fighting for the woman he loves.
Somewhere between the myth and reality was where you’d find the truth. But you wouldn’t see it if you weren’t looking, and most people weren’t.
   Most people were content to believe what they wanted to believe, as opposed to the alternative—accepting what was actually real.
   Take me for instance. There was the myth of who I was, and there was the truth. My first name was Ethan—a perfectly everyday name—but it’s not the name I was given at birth. No, that name I used as a last name now, as a reminder of who I was. Not that I could forget. My reputation seemed to precede me in every life I lived, not because people knew who I really was or would believe me if I told them, but because they knew something was different about me. Something was to be avoided.
   They were right.
   “Ethan Hades.”
   So yeah. Bet you didn’t need twenty guesses to figure out who I was—who I really was. Yes, gods were real. No, we weren’t anything like the myths you’d grown up reading in school. Names, places, and rough ideas were about the only details the Greeks had gotten right. The rest was a bunch of fabricated rubbish. I
    rose from the tiny canvas stool that lined the outside of the medical tent, my legs not the least bit tired from holding a chair squat for the past twenty minutes while I’d waited for the new camp doc, who was not earning any points from me since he was running late. I had stuff to do. Stuff that didn’t include waiting on a scrap of fabric that would have been lucky to hold a mortal man of my size. That was another fun fact for the god/goddess trivia book—we weighed significantly more than a mortal the same stature. It had something to do with our bodies being solid muscle, and nothing like the kind of muscle humans possessed. Our muscles were heavier, stronger, and impenetrable—fitting since we were immortal beings.
    I didn’t say anything as the nurse lifted the tent curtain for me. Neither did she. She’d been trying to get into my bed since she’d first started her rotation a few months ago. I’d told her I hadn’t signed up with World Corps, and travelled to third world countries on various outreach missions, to get laid. I’d been nice about it. The first dozen times. The last dozen, I’d been curter with my replies, which might have explained the reason she was looking at me like she wanted to drive a scalpel through my eye.
   Good luck with that. Immortal being. Meaning cannot die. By scalpel to the cornea or any other method.
   Believe me, I’d put it to the test.
   The landscape directly below Frenchman’s Cliff would never be the same. It looked like some meteor had fallen there, carving a crater where the ground had been level before my attempt to challenge my immortal state of being.

Fifteen Nights by Zoe Lee

Publication Date: January 26th, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

An all new STANDALONE novel  from Zoe Lee is now LIVE!!

zoe-fifteen-nights-ebook-copy

The deeper they look, the harder they fall.

Jamie Houston was supposed to just be Leda Riveau’s Thursday night (and maybe Friday morning) fun.

Leda has awesome brothers, friends who are as allergic to emotions as she is, and a great job. She’s back in her hometown, Maybelle County, after a romantic and professional disaster three years ago in Nashville. It might not be what she planned when she was a teenager, but it’s perfect.

Or, well, it’s almost perfect. Because Leda is still angry and bitter about Nashville, and everyone knows it. She hates romance and doesn’t do relationships, and her younger brother’s trying to get her to be nicer. But she’s not nice. She even has her own hashtag: #ledagoesnuclear.

Then she sees Jamie again, when he’s between serious girlfriends, and discovers that the chemistry she’s always suspected is right there, ready to explode if she lets it.

Jamie is a serial monogamist who’s always liked Leda, but the timing’s never been right. After he sees her while they’re both single for the first time since high school, he knows he wants to be with her. Everybody knows she doesn’t date and doesn’t get serious, but he’s always serious, especially because he has a three-year-old son and a three-hour commute to get from work to Leda.

What starts out as a casual Thursday night arrangement gets messy when Leda and Jamie also have interfering friends, sad brothers, a pushy mom, an amazing son, and chemistry so intense it’s scary.

How does a man who needs forever win a woman who hates romance?

~ Sometimes, one degree is all that separates you from the one you were meant to be with. ~

Wes Bergman was sex on a stick.

We’d been circling one another our entire lives, mingling at the same clubs… attending the same events…sharing mutual acquaintances…yet we’d never actually met.

Until . . . we both boarded a Windjammer Cruise in the Caribbean. And it was like meeting my long, lost best friend for the first time. I hadn’t ever connected with a guy that way before.

But Wes had a girlfriend. So, when the week was over, he walked off the ship, unknowingly taking a piece of my heart with him.

Now, over a decade later, newly divorced, I’m the proverbial fish out of water. Dating has totally changed. Apps. Swipe left. Swipe right. Catfishing. Men my age want two things: twenty-five-year-olds—like my ex’s new child bride of a wife—or just a quick hook-up.

After a string of bad dates, I finally did something I never thought I’d do. I had a hot one-night stand with a really handsome guy I met online who didn’t even know my real name.

Turned out Mr. Fling is a big shot for my company’s newest client. And just my

luck, that client’s CEO is none other than . . . Wes Bergman.

Now I’m separated by one degree again from the man who stole my heart.

And Mr. Fling could destroy my chance of what I want most –

A Do-Over with Wes.

EXCERPT

Matt continued to silently stare at her.
“Please say something,” she prompted nervously, chewing on her bottom lip.
“I…I don’t know if I can do that.”
A nervous chuckle came out before she could stop it. “What – you mean you don’t know if you can say anything?”
He shook his head. “I don’t know if I can start over.”
Vivienne was completely confused. “Why not? I think it would be a good thing. For both of us.”
“I disagree,” he said, resting his elbows on the table so he could lean his cheek in the palm of his hand.
“I don’t understand why…”
“I kind of like where we are right now. I don’t want to pretend the past didn’t happen. I’m enjoying the banter we have and the way I find it so easy to talk to you. I think if we ignore that night – that kiss – then we’re both denying a part of who we are.”
Well damn. That was a pretty powerful declaration, she thought. “But…it wasn’t me that night,” she argued. “I honestly don’t know why I did any of it. This is who I am,” she said, patting herself on the chest. “I’m an introvert who likes things neat and orderly. I hate chaos, and I plan out everything. I hate leaving anything to chance, and I rarely take risks. I like my world to be predictable and organized. I make lists, and I like to check things off. The person you’re remembering, doesn’t really exist.”
“Again, I disagree.”
“Ugh,” she groaned and stood to clear the table. “Do you deliberately go out of your way to make things difficult all the damn time?”
Matt stood and helped her with the dishes. “Viv, I’m not trying to make anything difficult. If anything, I’m simplifying things. You came to see me. We kissed. We didn’t see each other for a while. Now we’re both here and we kissed again.” He placed the dishes in the dishwasher before turning and looking at her again. “And – if we’re completely honest for the sake of keeping things simple – we’re both still attracted to one another.”
Great. She wanted to stamp her foot and tell him to leave, but she would only be proving his point. So now what?
“I…I don’t know what it is you want me to say to that,” she admitted. And if she wasn’t mistaken, he almost looked pleased.
“What I want is for you to tell me I’m not wrong. That this isn’t all completely one-sided.” Before she could answer, however, he started speaking again. “But I’ll understand if you’re not ready to yet. I can be patient, Vivienne, and I believe you’re worth waiting for.”
And then, in a move that took her totally by surprise, Matt leaned down and placed a whisper-soft kiss on her cheek before stepping back. “I know you have some shopping to do and errands to run. I’m going to go back over to Aaron’s and relax and maybe watch a little TV. When you’re ready to start working on dinner, let me know, and I’ll come over and help.”
All Vivienne could do was nod and watch him walk out the door.

Dylan & Aubrey from Undo Me
“Did you forget to fuckin’ knock, darlin’?” I asked,
breaking the silence between us. Nodding to the door behind her.
Aubrey grinned. “Well, you see, Detective McGraw. I’m here
with a real, deep, urgency. Only a man of your stature and importance could
understand when a woman, such as myself has needs,” she replied in a sultry
tone, pushing off the door. Provocatively placing one heeled toe in front of
the other, moving to sit in one of the chairs in front of my desk.
“Is that
right?” I rasped, arching an eyebrow as she slowly crossed her legs, giving me
a glimpse of what she had in store. Making sure that the hem of her trench coat
fell slightly open to her sides, faintly displaying the top of her lacy black
thigh highs.
When she caught me staring, she quickly closed her trench coat,
not allowing me to see anything, but the heavy-duty cotton material. Much to my
disapproval.
“Detective,” she reprimanded, dramatically placing her hand over
her chest. “Why I’d never…”
“Suga’, you wouldn’t have come all this way wearin’
thigh highs and fuck me heels, if you didn’t want me to at least look.”
“I’m a
lady.”
“I’m a man,” I simply stated.
“Now that, I do know. And what a man,
you are. Which is why I’m here. You see, Detective McGraw, my husband has gone
missing.”
“Missing, you say?”
“Yes, Sir. I haven’t seen him in months.”
I
nodded, playing along. Mostly because I wanted to see where she was going with
this. “And you’re just now filing a report? You can see how that seems rather
suspicious?”
She theatrically sighed, shaking her head. “Do I look like a woman
who could hurt her husband, Detective?” She stood, sweeping her long blonde
hair over her shoulder. Gesturing to herself. “I mean look at me. I’m a tiny
little thing. You think I can overpower my big, huge, muscular husband? I mean,
by all means… search me.”
I stifled a laugh, holding back a smile. “In due
time, Miss…”

“Ivana Fucku,” she answered with a straight face, turning to sit
back down.
Now, I couldn’t hold back a laugh. Leaning back in my leather chair,
I crossed my arms over my chest, stating, “I’m at your fuckin’ service.”
