Harley Easton

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Harley Easton – I’m a midwestern woman who has done a little bit of everything. I tend to write short stories. Everything has a healthy dose of romance, but sometimes I venture into paranormal romance, erotica, romantic horror, or fairy tale spin offs.

Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?

I have an office where I usually do work. It sounds strange, but I must have a cup of ice with me.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

I love meeting people. New readers and new authors are always fun to chat with. I end up connecting with so many after the event and making good friendships.

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

I was lucky enough to meet Neil Gaiman and Molly Harper who were both previously on my list. Now, I’d love to spend a long conversation with Jim Butcher or Mercedes Lackey.

What author would you love to write with?

Other than the ones on my unicorn list? I think Sarah Addison Allen and I would write a really cool book together because I really get into the rich Southern magical-realism feel she has in her books. I’d also love to work with Marissa Meyer because that woman transforms fairy tales like a master.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

My father telling me he’s proud of me and my mother asking to read one of my books. I’ve been blessed with a very supportive and close-knit family. Their praise made me cry.

It’s the New Year! Time to ring your bell with some hot and hunky resolutions! Join 15 of your favorite romance authors as their stories get off… on the right foot this year. Champagne corks aren’t the only things popping!

#HEA #Steamy #Love #ResolutionPact * * *

The new year is shaping up to be just like the old one: boring, routine, and most of all, lonely. Which is a gut-punch considering all my besties are getting rings on their fingers and buns in their ovens.

When I meet Ben on New Year’s Day I know it’s not a coincidence; the Universe is testing me. He’s my ideal man — single, handsome as hell, and he’s looking at me like I’m the girl of his dreams.

One problem: He wants no-strings … and I’m looking for a happily-ever-after.

When fate forces Ben and me together, I know I’m in trouble.

Why does a man so wrong for me feel so right?

Pack your chute and jump in to the latest in the Blaze Mountain Ranch collection!

Juls wanted a change new year right time to do it correct. So why not try skydiving, well right before her and her friends were about to get on the plane Juls passed out. Waking up in a strange place with a hot instructor next to her to make sure she’s ok. Ben doesn’t do relationships after being burned, cheated and lied to in the pass. But with Juls something was different, can these too take their love or lust to something new or is it just all up in the clouds.

#TwiniseDee #Review #ShortStory #PartofaSeries Resolution: Wanderlust by Rebecca Gallo

Leave a comment

 

I’ve had a bad case of wanderlust since college and one text from a friend on New Year’s Eve is the perfect motivation to pack my bags and head across the pond to London. When my trip abroad turns into a disaster, hot pub owner Ben Waterstone steps in and saves the day. And after an unexpected kiss, he steals my heart too. I’m only planning on staying in London for a month but a brief fling with Ben could turn this into a permanent vacation.

Milly was tired of everyone living their life to the fullest and her chickening out every time she wanted to do something. so she booked a trip to London and after landing and having crazy shit happen to her. she found herself without a place to stay and in a bar getting hit on by the sexy bartender Ben. well he offers her a room and promises to show her around London during her stay. and lots of other activities may happen during her stay. this was another great short read.

Review by Twinsie Dee

I was first indoctrinated into the romance genre by my babysitter who watched hours upon hours of daytime soap operas. I harbored many inappropriate crushes on fictional characters such as John Black from “Days of Our Lives,” Orry Main from the min-series “North & South,” and Edward Fairfax Rochester from Jane Eyre. I am still in love with Davy Jones from The Monkees.

I currently live in the Southwest with my husband, tiny four-year-old terror, and a tuxedo cat with a limp. When I’m not swooning over book boyfriends or dreaming up romances, I can be found educating the youth of America. Or eating tacos

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

A return to our training center family!!!  FINALLY!!  I enjoyed the spin off all about the Doms and their rise to who they are, but this is what I have been waiting for!!  More Brie, Sir, Hope, and the gang of characters that make this series everything.

This book picks up right with Rytsar coming home from Russia.  The threesome takes no time in reacquainting themselves with each other due to his long absence.  Friends, its was so good but the scenes between the three grow more intense through the book.

The three are dealing with Thane and Brie’s move closer to Rytsar plus Brie finishing her next movie.  But we also got to see Lea and even a bit of Mary.  Lord Mary is a mess and Lea is recovering from her wounded heart still.  I want to see Brie’s girls happy like Brie and hope it comes sooner then later for the girls.  Each one is fighting demons and they both need a HEA!!!

Rytsar has been through so much and yet it seems he has more trials to overcome.  He is pushed away from our couple and they all need to recenter with the news that might keep him away from them again.  Friends my heart was aching for them all and when everything comes out, again I was broken!!

Reconnecting with the training enter alumni was wonderful especially when they all come to support Brie at the end of the book about her next movie!!

This book was everything I needed.  Seeing the threesome growing and bonding even more was amazing.  It was something I didn’t think was possible and yet they did.  Any reader of the series will be thrilled to read this next installment.  I am super excited for the next book because of the secrecy behind it!!  What trick is Red hiding up her sleeves.  Just like Brie it seems patience is something I need to work on!!

Give Me Perfect Love ( Book Two) available now
Give Me Forever Love (Book Three) releases October 15th

Bryce’s world comes crashing down when someone from the outside gets too close. Kathrine is devastated, no longer knowing how her future will go.

Bryce and Kathrine grew up in darkness, surrounded by disappointment, but with pure determination they fought to become better than their parents.

Love was not easy to find and even found it was not easy to accept.

Being locked up was not part of his plans, but sometimes even the mightiest of men fall.

Will Kat be there during his darkest moments or will she choose to move on, remembering what she was taught… that everyone leaves eventually?



Review by Tenise

Bryce’s world comes crashing down when someone from the outside gets too close.
Kathrine is devastated, no longer knowing how her future will go.
Will Kat be there during his darkest moments or will she choose to move on, remembering what she was taught… that everyone leaves eventually?
Wow- where do I even start? I read A LOT and I’ve read more series than I can count. I will tell you one thing though- The Give Me Series is definitely one of the best I’ve ever read. It had happiness, sadness, angst and more. Give Me Forever was all of that and more. It was an edge of your seat thrill ride with plenty of surprises. I loved every page.
This was the conclusion to Bryce and Katherine’s story and oh what a conclusion it was. I got so attached to these two while reading their 3 books, I’m sad it’s over, but I know all good things must come to an end. I just hope they show up in future books so I can get my fix.
I’m looking forward to seeing where Jace’s story goes. Judging by the glimpses we got of him in books 1-3, I feel like he has quite a story to tell.

Paige P. Horne lives in the small town of Gray Georgia with her husband. The two enjoy traveling every little chance they get and binge watching their favorite shows. When she isn’t creating new characters for her readers to fall in love with, you can find her back porch swinging, engrossed in a good book with her dogs at her feet.

#NewRelease -Venom by Dee Garcia

Leave a comment
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. Her mission is to craft unique, compelling stories that will give her readers a place to briefly escape the trials and tribulations of everyday reality. With headstrong heroine’s who don’t need a man to stand on their own two feet, Dee hopes to leave her mark in the Indie world, one plot twist at a time.

Now Cole must return to the pack he swore never to face again and the younger sister of the girl who died because of his choices.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

First up, LOVED IT!!  Great start to a new series!!  I loved all the characters and how the chemistry was blazing hot!!

Cole lost his mate and couldn’t handle it so he totally peaced out on his family.  He felt destroyed and lost with out her.  Briar lost her sister when Cole’s mate was taken.  She was devastated to lose her as well.

Cole returns to his pack when he learns Briar is to be mated to someone else.  She has loved him and is super stoked when he comes back.  The couple have this tragic loss they both suffered together yet alone.  Briar is so worried when Cole tried to take her as his mate because she feared his love was not the full love she wanted and expected in a mate.  I love her strong will and I love his fierce heart.

The couple must overcome a lot of issues but especially a rogue trying to kill the wolves.  Cole’s gotta get his stuff figured out and save his girl before something happens to her and their HEA is lost!!

#TwiniseDee #Review #ShortStory #PartofaSeries Resolution: Rock Out by Alexis Adaire

Leave a comment

I totally suck at keeping New Year’s resolutions, so this time I make one I can stick with: learn to rock climb.

I’m coordinated and like to hike so it should be simple enough, right? Sure, only my instructor is hotter than any mountain man I’ve ever seen and making it hard to concentrate.

My hands and feet are as distracted as my brain is, but thankfully Mason is more than happy to help. One touch and the chemistry is instant.

The lessons can wait, I want him to use these ropes for something else entirely. Lucky for me, he wants the exact same thing.

Forget about rock climbing, I’m ready to climb Mount Mason.

wow this was a great read. Amber was ready for a new exciting thing to do with her life after working her ass off for a degree like most do she isnt getting to use it and is working a dead end job making coffee that isnt what she had planned for her life. so after the new year she decided that she wanted to do something a little crazy and wanted to take up rock climbing. on her first day of lessons she found out that the instructor was gorgeous and well things may get a little hot and heavy for these two, and may just be love at first climb if they want that.

#WOTR20 #review – Next To Me by Amabel Daniels

Next To Me

Hell to the no.

That’s what personal assistant Carly Winston wants to say to her boss when he tasks her with delivering his ring to his flaky fiancée. And again when the annoyingly sexy head of security, Maverick Green, is instructed to accompany her. Not wanting to lose her job, she bites her tongue. Sure, she has no desire to complicate her life with a relationship. But if she can avoid Maverick’s appeal as her next-door neighbor, surely one whirlwind trip with him won’t change anything.

Well aware Carly has made it her life goal to avoid men, Mav Green has fought the temptation to pursue her. Now, he’s been charged with making sure the ring she’s delivering stays safe, and that’s exactly what he’s going to do. Little does he know, fate has a plethora of shenanigans in store for them. A robbery. Drag queens. Battles against nature. Each of their crazy hijinks is wilder than the last, and sparks undeniable chemistry between the pair.

Thrust into a seemingly impossible job, will the time spent with Mav be enough to melt Carly’s icy façade?

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

YES!!!  This book was just as great as the first book.  It was full of laughs and hilarity while watching these two fall in love.

Carly and Mav were just what I needed to read.  I totally related to Carly as a person.  The chemistry between her and Mav was full of tension and wanting.  Mainly me wanting them to stop fighting and start realizing!!  This was a super easy read that was full of humor and tension.

Mav was Mr. Hottie McAlpha who knows Carly is not going to have it but he just can’t stop pushing her which makes for some fun reads.  Carly is not going to fall for Mr. McHottie but the more she is trying to fight it and the more plot twists and turns she is slowly realizing she can’t fight this much longer!!

Amabel Daniels lives in Northwest Ohio with her patient husband, three adventurous daughters, and a collection of too many cats and dogs. Although she holds a Master’s degree in Ecology, her true love is finding a good book.
