Aly Grady

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Aly Grady – I’m the lady that is constantly running from place to place to catch up with my family.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

I am most successful writing in a quiet spot. I’m constantly being pulled by family to different obligations so when I get the chance, “Serenity NOW”

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

I realize it sounds cliche but I really do love interacting with readers

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

I’ve checked that box when I met Nora Roberts in NY a few years back

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

I would love to have a schedule but alas I do not. I grab time when I can.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

The first review I received on Amazon from someone that I didn’t know was thrilling!

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

It’ll sound corny but the Twilight Saga is a series that is near and dear. I was recovering from surgery and feeling sorry for myself when I read them.

Dawn Brower

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

peanut m&m’s if I have a first choice, but anything small that I can grab while I am writing.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

Meeting everyone. I love the energy that readers bring.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

I’ve met a couple of my unicorn authors. Eloisa James, Julia Quinn, and Tessa Dare. I geeked out so hard. The only other one I would love to meet is Lisa Kleypas and those are just the historical authors… I wouldn’t mind picking Ilona Andrews brains (Like how do they manage to continue to write as a team? I don’t know if I would have that kind of patience. Plus their imagination…brilliant.) I’d also love to meet Kresley Cole and Richelle Mead one day.

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

I have a writing schedule where I need to have a certain book done by (or go to edits by). I write every day until it is done. Some days are better than others and the words just flow… Other times it is an exercise in patience just to get the minimum word count done.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

Seeing my first print book. An eBook just isn’t the same as holding your book in your hand for the first time.

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

At one time I’d have said my signed books from Karen Marie Moning. The excitement has faded over the years. I remember meeting her for the first time and being a little gaga. I was an avid participant on her old message boards and through my fan girling over her I met some of my closest friends today. It amazes me still today how much reading can bring people together. I’m thankful every day for discovering KMM because of her I have all these wonderful people in my life.

#WOTR20 #AuthorSpotlight – Kate Hawthorne

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Kate Hawthorne and I write steamy, kinky gay romance. I live in Los Angeles, but before it’s WOTR time, I’ll have relocated to Louisville, KY. I’m a big fan of coffee, wine, rootbeer floats, and ghost hunting. I am a prolific reader, and I can never say no to a good enemies-to-lovers story.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

I’ve just recently started making playlists to go along with my WIP’s, so I love to listen to whatever I’ve gotten put together for those, but other than that I need total silence. My husband loves to sit next to me at night and watch car videos on his phone, so I’ve become expert at tuning that out, at least. And lots of water. Gotta stay hydrated for all that emotional lifting.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

I *love* getting to meet new readers. Even if you haven’t read me or heard of me, I still want to know your name and I want to know what kind of books you love to read. Everyone at signings has at least one thing in common (a love of books), and it’s the best place to meet people.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

I actually *met* her earlier this year. Sierra Simone. Second to her though, JM Darhower.

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

I used to, but in addition to writing I have a day job and a toddler, so time is a lot harder to find than it used to be. I try to write at night if I’m not too tired, and I try to set aside time at least two days a week where I can focus on writing for a couple hours at a time.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

It’s hard to pick one memory. My first signing was GRL in Portsmouth 2018 so that is always going to hold a very special place in my heart.

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

I don’t think I have one book that I favor over all the others…that said, I do have some books that have survived a lot with me and they have the battle scars to prove it, so those mean something special to me. I also collect old (not my) family bibles from estate sales. I have about a dozen of those that go back to the very early 1800’s. They’re important to me because so many of them hold important family history, and even if it’s not MY history, it was important to someone and should be taken care of.

Amazon

 

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

I was so ecstatic to get this book. I love this family so much and love when we get to see the entire training center family.  To see Brie and Sir celebrate Hope’s first Christmas took me back to my baby girls first Christmas and memories that will always be with me.

 There were so many great things going on in this book. So much family love on this Christmas season. Sir has not celebrated Christmas in years but Rytsar and Hope may just bring Christmas joy back into his heart. I was so exited to see what Sir has planned for Brie, Hope and even Rytsar.  Sir did an amazing job planning the Christmas party at the Training center. I enjoyed seeing all the surprises Sir and the other Dom’s had for the subs.  All I can say is I would love to sit on that Santa’s lap.

I had the feel goods through out this entire story. Some of the most amazing thoughtful gifts were given by Sir, Brie and Rytsar. It is Amazing who the best gifts given don’t have to be physical things but words from the heart and boy does Rytsar know the perfect way to deliver it and it is shocking who receives this gift.  I enjoy seeing Mary, Lea and the other subs in this one.  Everyone deserves friends like Sir and Brie’s. Christmas is my favorite holiday and this story was the perfect thing to get me in the Christmas Spirit.

 

My favorite quote:

“Two strong men facing a holiday they had avoided for years now choosing to experience the holiday through the wonder of Hope’s eyes.”

After clawing her way out of the gutter, she worked diligently to earn a killer reputation in the music promotion industry, ensuring no one would ever have the power to drag her down again.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

I was so excited to get back to Sir, Brie, Rytsar and Hope. I have missed seeing our training center family and couples.  The love between Brie, Sir and Rytsar is amazing. They know each other inside and out and they know exactly what each other need.

There was so much going on in this story, heartache, deceit, trust and mostly love. My heart broke for Sir and Brie but the scenes with them and others in this one had my emotions all over the place. I could not choose a favorite if I had to they were all so wonderful.

Rytsar’s soft side shows so much in this story. His love for Hope turns him into a big teddy bear but let’s not tell him I said that.  He is fierce but can be taken down by one smile or giggle form Hope. My heart absolutely melted when Rytsar gave the Russian Doll to Hope.  He is so loving toward his family always doing the right thing. Have I mentioned I so love this Russian Dom.

I loved that we got to see all the Doms/subs from the learning center and got small updates on them. His group of people are so lucky to have each other. When you are not given the family you need then you build your own and they sure have built a strong family that is willing to do what ever is needed to help one another. My heart and soul have fallen so hard for this wonderful group of people and I want to See them all happy.

#NewRelease -Venom by Dee Garcia

Title: Venom
Series: The Sinister Fairy Tales Collection
Author: Dee Garcia
Genre: Dark PNR/UF
Release Date: October 15, 2019
Tink
From the moment I befriended him, I set a conspiracy in motion.
A revolution.
Kill Peter Pan.
And I was their ultimate weapon.
I was also none the wiser, falling hopelessly and irrevocably in love with him as the years went by.
Just as they hoped I would.
But their plan comes to a screeching halt when Peter vanishes into thin air, something I’ll learn has nothing to do with Rosewood at all.
You see, Peter never truly loved me…because he loved a wench instead.
He lied to me, he used me, he left me, and he broke me. 
Forever altering me in ways that incite revenge when Hook sweeps in with revelations and the ultimate truth.
Peter may have turned his back on me, but in the end, he and his precious little Wendy will choke on every last tear I once shed.
And I’ll have Hook to thank for that.
Hook
It’s no secret I always despised Peter Pan.
A common threat amongst the factions, I should’ve killed him when I had the chance, long before he sank his claws deep into Tinksley’s heart.
But his death at my hands wasn’t what the plan called for, despite how I felt for her.
I’d always been drawn to the girl, innocently enough at first…until that vile abomination marked her with his stamp, unleashing a sense of propriety I had no rights to.
Didn’t matter—he had her…and I wanted her.
Then like magic, he disappeared.
I thought my time had come, but the road to owning Tinksley’s heart comes with a price.
A price so dark and depraved it strips her of her purity and awakens the beast within.
All because of the truth.
Sometimes, there is honor in revenge, and it will be my utmost pleasure to watch as Peter Pan finally meets his maker.
His maker who will soon be my Queen.
Don’t do it, Tinksley. Turn around, says the angel on my shoulder, a voice I’d forgotten existed amidst the demands of depravity. Do I listen? Of course not. I have to know what’s happening. I’m too intrigued not to. An intrigue that continues amounting as I pass this hand-carved archway with thick spiraled pillars. The pillars themselves aren’t what draws me—it’s the marionette puppets hanging off each one. They’re both female; one blonde, one brunette, both surprisingly quite scantily clad unlike a typical puppet. I’ve never seen one like this before. Reaching out to graze the tips of my fingers over one of their wooden bodies, I— “Boo!” a husky voice ghosts in my ear. My heart shoots up to my throat as a terrified scream breaks free. Next thing I know, I’m spun around, staring into amused blue eyes. I literally feel myself deflate in his grip before I can react accordingly. Bastard. “What the f*ck!” I shout, wiggling myself free. Callan chuckles darkly and shakes his head, crossing his arms over his chest. “Look at you. So crass these days.” I mimic his stance. “What can I say? I learned from the best. You’ve got one helluva sailor’s mouth yourself.” “I’m not a sailor, love.” He smirks. “A pirate? Yes. The Captain? Obviously. Not a sailor, though.”
Dee Garcia is a voracious fan of romance novels and a long time lover of the written word.

#WOTR20 #Review #NewRelease — Logan (White Trash Trilogy) by Brandy Slaven

Logan (White Trash Trilogy)

Logan Rowe has had his fair share of waiting. Between age differences and growing up, he’s been as patient as love is supposed to be. After years of chasing Ryleigh, the time has come. She better buckle up for the ride, because he’s not stopping now until he finally claims her. Heart and Soul.
This is the first contemporary novella spin off from the RH White Trash Trilogy, which does not have to be read first, though the character cameos will make better sense if it is.


Goodreads

Amazon

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

I so enjoyed this quick read. Logan and Ry are made for each other. I’m telling you their chemistry is explosive.

These two have been circling each other for years. Logan and Ry have been doing this dance and now Logan is done he is ready to show her that she is his. He is determined to win her over completely. I loved seeing Leo and Lath giving Logan a hard time in true brotherly love style.

I’m not sure how I could fall in love with Logan even more but watching everything he does for Ry and hearing the razzing he gets from his brothers did it. I don’t want to say too much about this book because I want you to read it to get the full story of Logan and Ry and what they have to deal with. I’m so happy to hear we get to know more about the rest of the Row boys. I have fallen for these men as much as I have for Kendall’s guys.

Here is a quote that made me giggle when I was reading.

“New Rule”, he replies in a gravely voice. “you’re not allowed to talk about my brothers in this room. The only names I want on your lips here is mine, or I might find other places to bite you. “

Brandy Slaven lives in Tennessee with her husband and two wild children. If you can’t find her typing away at her laptop, you will find her with her nose in a book at the beach or hiking at one of the state parks. Bringing her characters to life is one of her greatest accomplishments.
