About YOU’RE STILL THE ONE: 

Love is one dare neither of them can take… 

Arabella Stone, Nashville’s darling, is eager to shuck her prim-and-proper rep, and a few wild months spent checking items off her ” summer bucket list” is the way to do it. First up: kiss the man she’s crushed on since she wore a training bra, the bad boy of country himself, Blue bassist Charlie Tucker. 

For Charlie, a beautiful woman flirting with him isn’t out of the norm–but a beautiful woman bolting after the hottest kiss of his life sure is. And when he finds out his kiss-and-run Cinderella is none other than Arabella Stone, daughter of his label’s CEO, he knows he’s in trouble. Because not only is she a Stone, she’s also his employee for the next few months at the recording studio he just bought. 

Over the course of one thrilling summer, Arabella and Charlie chip away at her bucket list and fight the simmering attraction between them…knowing that once it’s all over, so is their time together.  



   
About Rachel Harris: New York Times bestselling author Rachel Harris writes humorous love stories about sassy girls-next-door and the hot guys that make them swoon. Vibrant settings, witty banter, and strong relationships are a staple in each of her books…and kissing. Lots of kissing.

Tour brought to you by: 


I absolutely adored Arabella and Charlie.

I can always count on Rachel Harris to satisfy my inner swoon-lover. She tells a great story and has the ability to stretch the UST and make me crave more. Her characters are complex and sometimes broken, but her stories all have an overwhelming feeling of hopefulness that I just cannot help but fall in love with.

Arabella and Charlie's story combines a lot of my favorite tropes and storylines. Charlie is a successful musician and Arabella is the daughter of the CEO of the record company that Charlie works for, basically she's the boss's daughter. While Arabella has been 'in love' with Charlie for many years, to him she is just the young awkward daughter of the man who signs Charlie's paychecks. It's been a few years since Charlie has even seen Arabella, so when she makes the decision to approach him, he has no idea who has him turned completely upside down.

After the band's warning to stay on the boss's good side, and Charlie and Arabella's stolen moments at an industry dinner, Charlie and Arabella find themselves working in close quarters for the summer. They forge a tentative friendship, attempting to ignore the chemistry building between them. They both are keeping secrets, but some lies have the potential to the future for both of them.

I know you can read the summary for yourself, so what I'm here to say is that Rachel Harris delivers a sexy, fun, romance complete with smoking hot chemistry and fun flirtation. Put Arabella and Charlie on your TBR list. You won't be disappointed.

Cover Reveal - SHE DIMS THE STARS by Amber L. Johnson




I am so excited today to be able to share the cover of the newest novel from Amber L. Johnson, SHE DIMS THE STARS, which will be released April 26, 2016.




Who is Audrey Byrd?

Ask her ex-best friend, Cline Somers, and he’ll tell you that she’s the girl who inexplicably stopped talking to him when they were fifteen years old, leaving him with nothing but questions and bitterness for the better part of the next six years.

Ask his roommate, Elliot Clark, and he would say that Audrey is the enigmatic girl who randomly showed up outside a window one day and turned his whole world upside down in a matter of moments.

Ask Audrey herself and she’ll tell you that she has no idea who she is, because her entire life is a lie. However, the older she gets the more she needs answers about who she really is.

What she discovers is a tangled web of secrets better left in the dark.

Some truths do more harm than good. 

***Recommended for readers 18+ due to sensitive subject matter, language and situations.




Amber lives in Texas with her amazingly talented husband and incredibly gifted son. Most known for her novella Puddle Jumping (a 2014 Goodreads Choice Award nominee for Best YA) she is constantly trying her hand at new genres and ideas to force herself to think outside the box. 

She is inspired by music, her family, a close group of friends, and real life. Mostly in that order.
Stalk Amber:



It’s started to sprinkle, and we’ve ridden five rides so far, walked the entire length of the fairgrounds, and watched a group of nine year olds tap dance in skirts bigger than my bedroom. The smile on Audrey’s face is enormous, and I can’t stop staring at her. 
She’s holding a funnel cake in one hand and a custard in the other while I balance a corn dog and massive soda myself. Cline and September have gotten on the Ferris wheel, and it will be at least another ten minutes before they make it to the top and all the way back around. We head away from the lights and sounds toward the grass and rocks of a field just beyond the parameters of the fairgrounds. There’s a slight breeze as we go to sit, and Audrey’s skirt flies up, making her laugh and attempt to grab it with both of her full hands. She’s unsuccessful and ends up landing on her ass gracelessly, powdered sugar sliding from the plate onto her lap in the process. 
“Figures. I’m over here trying to act like a lady, and all the elements are against me.” She shakes her fist at the sky in false anger.
“You don’t have to act like a lady,” I tell her just as I turn to look and see that she’s taken a huge bite out of the funnel cake and has white powder all over her cheeks and under her nose. “I retract that statement. Maybe trying a little bit would be helpful.”
Her laugh causes more powdered sugar to go flying into the air. She passes the food over to me, and we share it until it’s all gone and we’ve cleaned up the best we can, though her red dress has spots that won’t come out without a good washing. The sprinkles of water are doing little to help with the situation. They simply disappear into the fabric as soon as they make contact.
We stare at the lights of the fair beyond us, such a stark contrast to the dark night sky, obliterating any stars that are shining above it. It reminds me of how I feel when I’m around Audrey. How loud and bright and chaotic she can be. How she can swallow the entire environment around her until she’s the only focal point. She could dim even the brightest of stars if she’d just get out of her head.
My attention is back on her as my thoughts turn in my head and I can see her staring back up at me, the flashing lights in the distance reflected in her dark eyes. I lean forward and she doesn’t move, just keeps watching as I advance.
“You want me to kiss you so badly right now,” I say.
Her eyebrows draw together and she snorts, her eyes darting away instead of holding steady with my own. “No, I don’t.”
“Yes, you do. I can see it. But, I’m not going to. Not until you ask me. Because I think that’s a thing for you—asking people to do stuff. Asking for things. So, when you finally decide you’re ready for that kiss, you just let me know.”
She leans back on her elbows and looks up at the sky, her ponytail dragging along the grass as her eyes close and the rain hits her face lightly. “Nah. You’ll be waiting forever and a day, Elliot. I’m not gonna ask you to kiss me. We should keep it just like this. All this yearning. This build up to nothing. Will they? Won’t they?” Her eyes open and she looks over her shoulder at me, teasing, but her face is serious. “We’re gonna be the greatest love story never told.”

About LISTEN TO ME: 

In New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby’s brand new series, five best friends open a hot new restaurant, but one of them gets much more than she bargained for when a sexy former rock star walks through the doors—and into her heart. 

Seduction is quickly becoming the hottest new restaurant in Portland, and Addison Wade is proud to claim 1/5 of the credit. She’s determined to make it a success and can’t think of a better way to bring in new customers than live music. But when former rock star Jake Keller swaggers through the doors to apply for the weekend gig, she knows she’s in trouble. Addie instantly recognizes him—his posters were plastered all over her bedroom walls in high school—he’s all bad boy...exactly her type and exactly what she doesn’t need.

Jake Keller walked away from the limelight five years ago and yearns to return to what’s always driven him: the music. If he gets to work for a smart-mouthed, funny-as-hell bombshell, all the better. But talking Addie into giving him the job is far easier than persuading her that he wants more than a romp in her bed. Just when she begins to drop her walls, Jake’s past finally catches up with him. 

Will Addie be torn apart once again or will Jake be able to convince her to drown out her doubts and listen to her heart?

Cover Reveal - IN YOUR DREAMS by Ginger Scott


IN YOUR DREAMS
A Falling Series Spin-Off
NA Contemporary Romance
Cover photo shot by Frank Rodriguez - DLRfoto
Scheduled to release: March 29, 2016



BLURB:
Casey Coffield has a growing list of personal flaws he keeps locked away in his head: 
He’s never on time. 
His list of IOUs to his best friend is endless. 
Money is always short. 
Goals are never in reach. 

Oh, and he’s decided to add college drop-out to that list, too. He doesn’t really think that last one’s such a bad thing, but his family insists it is, so it stays on the list. 

On paper, he’s a zero. But in person, when he’s mixing tracks for a sea of bodies at the hottest clubs and parties, he’s downright irresistible. Just-right stubble on his chin, body of a boxer and a smirk that stimulates all the right nerves—women have never been a problem. They flock to his swagger and fall for his charm…fast. 

All except for this one. 
Purple hair, gray eyes, a raspy voice and sass, Murphy Sullivan is a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll. And her and Casey? They have history. He can’t remember it, but she wrote a song about him—and it’s not exactly a love song. But it is good. Damn good. And uncovering her inspiration just might be the key to solving a few of his shortcomings—not to mention open doors to his own big break in the music industry.

But sometimes dreams get messy when they collide. Sometimes life changes patterns. A past paints the wrong picture and futures get cloudy. The only question that remains is who will you choose when the dust settles—you? Or the girl of your dreams? 


“Want to hear a cut?”

She folds her hands around her body and nods, her eyes bright. I pull out the 

Ratatat song she was listening to with her brother and let it start rolling, setting 

the intro to loop. Then I break up the beat with some new layers, so the song is 

recognizable, but unique.


“That’s so unbelievably cool,” she says, her body moving to the rhythm.


I’m about to blow her mind. I’ve had this planned since late last night, and the 

effect is better than I could have dreamed. I want to see her dance. I wait just 

long enough, smiling at her and moving my head along with the vibe until I feel 

it in my gut. There’s always a moment—it’s what makes me good. I’ve had it 

since the first time I touched a soundboard. I can sense when the craving is at 

it’s peak, when the room wants more. It’s like a slow-building orgasm, and I 

bring everyone to the brink, feeling their bodies fall in line with the count, 

giving their minds over to the melody. This is the high I was talking about, and 

Murphy—she’s there. Her eyes are closed and her body is moving more than I 

think she realizes, and it’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.


I’m about to be her undoing without even laying a hand on her.


My finger poised over the button, I wait until it’s just right to let the first drop 

go. I picked Nina Simone because she’s jazzy, just like Murphy, and she’s full 

of fire and there’s a swagger in her song—the moment her voice breaks 

through the beat, Murphy knows. Her eyes drag open and her body keeps 

swaying. Baby grays are looking at me and smiling. Her chest is rising and 

falling off rhythm even though her body keeps tempo. It’s because I’m in her 

head now—my song is in her head, and she’s feeling something different, 

something more.


The break I built is coming up, and I know it—she’ll shiver. I step close, letting 

my headphones slip around my neck. I come closer and watch her for a sign 

that I shouldn’t move more. She doesn’t stray—she’s drunk in seconds, and she 

wants me near. The break happens, and her heat tilts back as she closes her 

eyes, and that goddamned perfect neck is exposed and my lips come close 

enough to touch it. I don’t, but I linger, letting her feel my breath on her skin, 

small bumps rising in reaction. Chemistry and biology—beautiful. My nose 

grazes just below her ear as my hands carefully slide on her body, careful to 

touch in just the right place above her waist. She doesn’t flinch because she’s 

given over to the feeling—the performance of it all. That’s all this ever is. I fill 

rooms with pheromones and bodies become mine.


Right now, Murphy is completely in my control. My hands urge her to turn, 

and her body spins slowly, every curve brushing against me until her back is 

flush with my chest. I drag one hand around her waist and up her spine, my 

palm flat as it follows the line of her zipper, my thumb feeling the jagged metal 

and my mind imagining dragging it the opposite way. I close my own eyes as 

my hand pushes against her neck and my fingers find her hair, sweeping it up in 

my hold so my mouth can play against her ear. I bring my hand down carefully, 

both of us moving together to the sexy beat I built just for her, and I hold my 

breath as my hand opens wide and splays under her breasts, holding her tight 

against me.


My thumb close to god, I feel her lungs grow inside her, her breathing deep and 

desperate. I could take her now, but that…that would be a mistake. I only 

wanted to get this close—to feel this much. I wanted to see if my powers 

worked on her as well. They do, but hers have the equal effect on me. My 

mouth watering and my cock growing hard, my eyelids grow heavy as my self-

made rules fight against my desire.


Leaning into her, my lips press against the inside of her neck, marking her with 

a cool kiss as my tongue takes one, tiny taste of her skin before my mouth 

finds her ear.


“This is what I do, Murphy. I…can make people…do…whatever…I…want,” I 

whisper, and her breath falls away completely, her head dropping back against 

me, her hands moving to my wrists and holding me with a tight desperation 

that begs for more.


My eyes close, and I indulge for a few seconds, dragging my hand up her body 

again, careful to not touch her too intimately despite how badly my hand wants 

to go there. I trace her bare shoulder and move to her neck, my thumb running 

over the zipper that it now considers the enemy. I push her slowly in front of 

me, giving us just enough space for me to let my head fall against the back of 

hers so my eyes can rake over the perfect line of her neck one last time. My 

mouth moves forward, wanting to taste more, but I puff out a breath instead

and let go of her completely, knowing a second longer is the difference between 

being able to stop.


I kill the sound. An abrupt edge. And Murphy takes a step forward, as if I’ve 

just released her from a trance. I have. But I can put her back under it any 

time I want. And I intend to.

About TO THE STARS: In the second standalone book in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Molly McAdams’ Thatch series, Knox Alexander must convince his long-time love Harlow Evans that they’re meant to be together. 

He promised to wait for her. She told him he was wasting his time. Not waiting for him ended up being the biggest mistake of her life. 

When they were younger, Knox Alexander swore to Harlow Evans that he would wait for her to turn eighteen so they could be together. But that was two and a half years away, and Harlow couldn’t ask him to give up all the fun and thrills of going away to college for her. As the years passed, Knox remained a constant in her life but when her eighteenth birthday came around, Harlow’s heart belonged to someone else. 

Every day for the last four years, Harlow has been haunted by that fateful choice. And though he may appear unaffected by what happened in their past, Knox has always tried to fill the void Harlow left. But when he comes stumbling back into her life and refuses to leave, will Harlow finally let him into her heart…?

Amazon ** Barnes and Noble ** iTunes ** Kobo ** GooglePlay ** Audio

About Molly McAdams: 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.

TO THE STARS Goodreads ** Molly McAdams Goodreads

   
     



I have enjoyed getting to know the Thatch crew. They are all strong, well- thought out characters that drew me in and tugged my heartstrings from the first page to the last.

Molly's writing appeals to my love of angst. To the Stars in an incredibly emotional tale. There is so much back and forth and up and down, a definite roller coaster ride. 

Knox Alexander had promised to wait for Harlow Evans until she turned 18. Unfortunately, she did not wait for him. Years later, Knox is filling the hole Harlow left in his heart with every willing female within a 50 mile radius. When he spies Harlow one day while in town, he can't stop the familiar rush that lingers low in his belly nor can he help the overwhelming desire to take care of her.

Harlow is hiding something. While she is still achingly beautiful, Knox doesn't fail to notice how thin she has grown and the haunted look in her eyes. Has she been ill? Everything about her calls out to him to somehow make things better for her, and he would if she would only stop trying to run away from him.

Knox and Harlow's story is told in a mixture of present day occurrences blended with snippets of the past. With each past snapshot, you feel their connection grow and it made me sad to know that they had somehow missed their chance to be together. Theirs was a beautifully swoony young love story. 

The more Knox sees of Harlow, the more he knows that something is wrong. However, as his friends repeatedly point out, he put his faith in her once before and she crushed him. Is he once again seeing what he wants to see or is there more hidden behind the layers Harlow wears for everyone to see?

While I liked the book overall, there were a few small issues for me. Make that one issue that recurred throughout the book and it was the reason that Knox and Harlow couldn't date until she was 18. It seemed like everyone went overboard with their concerns, especially when she ended up dating (and eventually marrying) someone who was also older than her. I guess maybe I'm not up to date on the exact laws concerning this type of thing, but it seemed blown out of proportion to me. But I guess there had to be something that kept them from being together when they were younger. It wasn't a big enough issue to keep me from enjoying the book, but I did have to mention it.

Anyway, I give it 4 out of 5 stars because it was riveting and gut-wrenching.


A Day to Remember - If It Means a Lot to You

THE POWER by Jennifer L. Armentrout - 5 Pages Released

We are so excited!!


Jennifer L. Armentrout and Spencer Hill Press have released the first 5 pages of the book for readers to enjoy for free! Take a peek by clicking the link below. 



With any great change, there is always strife, and the Covenant University has become the frontline between pure-bloods who want the Breed Order reinstated and the half-bloods who want the right to control their own destinies.
Fate has other plans.

The violence is escalating and war between the races seems inevitable, and it couldn’t come at a worse time. Hyperion may be out of commission, but Josie and Seth know they have only earned a reprieve. Seth must get Josie fully prepared, which means controlling her newfound abilities, and they need to find the other demigods before the Titans do.
But the gods are sensing a greater threat.

Only one thing is more dangerous than a bunch of starved Titans, and that’s an out-of-control Apollyon. The aether in Josie is drawing Seth in deeper, and when lust mixes with love and gives way to power, he knows being close to her is not only dangerous to her, but to everyone around them, but letting her go requires a level of selflessness that just isn’t Seth’s style.

The paths taken in the past are becoming the roads of the future.

Just as chaos breaks out, familiar faces from the past return, complicating the already strained bond between Josie and Seth, and when the danger from the Titans erupts with devastating consequences, the dark allure of power calls to Seth again, but this time Josie might not be able to pull him back.

And when the struggle between power and love becomes the deadliest battleground, there may be no salvation.
