Blurb

Emme Ford loves her job as a bar promoter. She runs in the same circles as musicians and socialites, getting paid to party with them. She’s content with life just the way it is, and she has no interest in marriage, kids, or growing up. But what happens when the party’s over?


Axel Jones wants to marry Emme, but she denied his proposal. They both pretend it didn’t affect their relationship, but it did. A wedge divides them, and now they’re stuck in a stalemate. What do you do when one person wants more and the other doesn’t?

EXCERPT

“I just wanted to come here to talk.” He finally looks up at me and tugs on his hair again before running a hand over his beard. “I’m frustrated, Emme.”
“I know you are,” I say softly. “But I’ve made it clear what I need.”
“Yes, you have, but what about what I need?”
He’s right, and I know that. He’s got needs that are different from mine, and his aren’t being met in this relationship.
I don’t answer, because I don’t actually have an answer for that.
“We’re stuck, Ems. We’re at an impasse. A stalemate. What do you do when only one person wants more?”
“You wait.” My voice comes out with more vehemence than I intend, and I suppose that’s maybe the first real sign of emotion Axel’s heard from me in a while.
“What if I don’t want to wait?”
I glance away from him, because something deep in my heart knew where this was leading. “Then we have some decisions to make, I guess.” I say it softly because it’s not what I want. I don’t want to end things with Axel.
“I think we do.” His voice is quiet, too.

#WOTR #Spotlight – Vicki Green @rileyks3

Vicki Green

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Vicki Green. I write Contemporary Romance, Romance Suspense, and Romantic Comedy. As you can tell, my mind lives in Romance. Characters and plots stay in my head at all hours of the day and night. Luckily, I have a wonderful husband and two sons (17 & 20) that understand when they don’t get a cooked dinner or I’m in my office with the door shut.

I live in Olathe, Kansas, about 20 minutes from Kansas City and grew up in Overland Park, Kansas. I’ve getting ready to begin my fourth year as a published Author and have attended 25+ signings. I love meeting readers and talking to them about everything books, and whatever else comes up.

When and Why did you start to write?

I began writing my first book in May 2013. I’d had a reoccurring dream for several months and one day, after work, I came home and decided to write it down, thinking and hoping it would help get it out of my head. It didn’t. As I wrote, more scenes played out in my head, and I continues to write. I ended up publishing that story at the end of May 2013. 20 books later, almost 21, I continue to write and my mind is constantly full of stories.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

Oh! So many, there’s no way to list them all!

Colleen Hoover, Aleatha Roming, Pepper Winters, Mia Sheridan, Sandi Lynn, HJ Bellus, AL Jackson, the list could go on and on.

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

How the story unfolds as I’m writing. I’ve been fortunate that I don’t get much of a writer’s block, very often. Normally, I don’t know exactly how the story will come to life as I get from the beginning to the end. I may know where I want it to go but not totally how to get it there. Then, surprisingly, it will tell me as I write.

What are you working on now?

I am currently working on a Romantic Comedy called The Oddest Couple. It’s based off the original sitcom, The Odd Couple only this is with a man and woman. I am loving it and their characters! The cover will feature Chase Ketron and I’m in love with the picture that will be on it!

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

I’m not sure exactly but I’m definitely not a plotter. Oh, I make notes and add to them as plot twists and idea’s hit me but I don’t outline a story. Most of the time, as I’ve stated, the story comes to life as I write.

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

The one I have been waiting on my favorite of the series Rytsar Durov. The love he has for Thane and Brie is heart stopping. He would go to the ends of the earth for them they are his family. You can imagine his anger when he finds out that his best friend/brother was in an accident and not doing well. His friends are not going to be able to avoid the wrath of the Russian sadist.

Brie is still trying to cope with everything that has been laid at her feet. Rytsar is now there to help her and take care of any threats she gets. I love the chemistry and respect Rytsar and Brie have for one another. Rytsar knows exactly what Brie needs and when she needs it and the connection they have Brie also knows what Rytsar need and when too.

Rytsar backstory crushed me and made me love him more to see him be able to overcome and survive. I love this series but I have to say I love my Russian Sadist the most. This was another wonder journey Red Phoenix took us on and I am so ready for the next one I so need to know more.

#Review – Exquisite (Diamond Trilogy #3) by Elizabeth Hayley

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

This series you have to read all three books because they are all part of this couples struggles to find an HEA.

Siobhan and Derick…sigh…these two……The final book is here!!!

SO the final book was great.  It was a up and down roller coaster of will they or wont they kind of thing.  Siobhan must decide if she can accept Derick for everything.  Derick is OVER IT and is not going to let Siobhan push and pull him all over the place.  The couple have a few thigs to figure out before the HEA is given.

I love these authors and their books.  If you are a fan of this series, you should check out their other books.  This serial gives you a quick insight to their writing but it’s just a short version.

Elizabeth Hayley is actually “Elizabeth” and “Hayley,” two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. The product is Pieces of Perfect, their debut novel. They learned a ton about one another through the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to text each other constantly (much to their husbands’ chagrin).

They live with their husbands and kids in a suburb of Philadelphia. Thankfully, their children are still too young to read.

Elizabeth Hayley’s writing motto is best captured by the words of Patrick Dennis: “I always start with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind.”

ABOUT LOCKE AND KEY (Releasing May 2nd)

THE STOIC SPECIAL FORCES OPERATOR

There’s only one person to blame for darkening the last years of Locke Oliver’s military career: Cassidy Noble. And damn if he doesn’t have to save her from the side of a frozen mountain.

Even after the job is done, he can’t shake the woman from his thoughts. He blames her for the deaths in his Army unit so many years ago, and he’s not ready to let that go. It’s driving him to the point of distraction, and now his Titan Group boss says to get his act together or get out.

THE FEISTY, FALLEN REPORTER

Cassidy is a disgraced journalist, once accused of treason—Or she’s an American hero. It depends on who you ask. She’s on a mission to rebuild her name and started with a simple question but discovered a complex web of spies and possible human trafficking.

Titan Group believes in her.

Locke does not. Until he can’t deny the truth any longer about the past or what she’s uncovered in her investigation.

BECOME AN INSEPARABLE TEAM

Cassidy volunteers to go undercover. Locke would do anything to stay by her side as she slips into the network and is sold to the highest bidder. All is going right until everything goes wrong. Nothing is as they expect including falling in love with the woman he thought he hated.

#WOTR #Spotlight – Amy Hale @AuthorAmyHale

Amy  Hale

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Amy Hale and I’m a huge dork. I also write books, dabble in photography, immerse myself in music, watch riffed movies, dream about my next trip to the ocean, and adore riding on the back of my husbands motorcycle. I’ve been married for over 25 years to a real life book boyfriend. I have two wonderful children and a cat that insists on holding my arms down while I write. I’m obsessed with Doctor Who, Supernatural, Sherlock, and The Walking Dead.

When and Why did you start to write?

I’ve always loved writing. In high school I spent a lot of time writing poems and short stories. Years later when my first child was born, I wrote my first children’s book and continued to make up short, fun stories for my kids from there. Life and stress got in they way and I discontinued my writing for several years, until internet research on some health problems I was dealing with pulled me back into writing for a cause. I spent 13 years writing, both professionally and personally, about health and diet related issues. But like many controversial topics, it became stressful and unfulfilling. After attending a writing/signing event in 2014 I was encouraged go back to fiction, this time with the intention of writing full length books. I’ve been going strong ever since!

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

There are so many authors and genres I enjoy reading. I know I will leave many out, but here’s a short list off the top of my head:
If you like historical romance I highly recommend Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, Lisa Kleypas, Julia London, Mary Balogh and some of the older works by Kat Martin and Pamela Britton (they’ve both moved to contemporary in recent years).
For science fiction/fantasy I love the work of Eric Asher, Jay Noel Reyes, Shelly Crane, JoAnna Morris, and Amy Miles, to name a few.
A few contemporary favorites are Jamie McGuire, Colleen Hoover, Denise Grover Swank, J.L. Berg, Amy Daws, Barb Speak, and Michelle Miller (I have to stop or I will go on forever.)

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

I think the most surprising thing for me is how the ideas can just pop into my head. My biggest fear when I started this journey was that I’d run out of ideas. But no matter how tough it gets, I always come up with something new. When I’m writing a scene and I’m not sure where it’s going, then POOF! there’s the twist or a crucial moment, I get very excited. I’m often just as surprised by what I write as my readers are.

What are you working on now?

I recently finished my paranormal series The Shadows Trilogy and am now starting on a new contemporary romance series set on a dude ranch. I’m very excited about this new project!

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

I’m a little of both actually. Before I start the story I know my beginning and end. The middle part is more elusive at first. I will pants it until I get a feel for the direction. Generally about half way through I’ll stop and evaluate to be sure I’m staying on track – this is usually where the plotting takes over.

#WOTR #Review #ReleaseBoost – Below the Surface by H.D’Agostino

32705502

Things aren’t always as they seem…

I’ve lived by that motto for most of my life. I’ve hid who I am, who I used to be, and what I’ve done from anyone who dares to get close to me. At nineteen I lost my parents. I thought nothing in the world could be more painful. I was wrong.

When I met Leo, my world seemed brighter. I felt hope for the first time in months. He promised me a life of luxury, but things aren’t always as they seem. Leo had a dark side, one that he hid from me. He pulled me under and held me captive, making death seem like the only way out.

It took me two years to escape. I ran never looking back until now. My life is finally coming together. I have people I trust, a job, and a safe place to call home, but things aren’t always as they seem.

One night, one phone call, one moment causes it to all crash down. Leo has my sister, and he wants to trade her for me. The one person I can trust is the only one who could also tear me apart… Detective Jeff Horn. He’s got secrets just like me, and seems to understand me better than I do myself.

How do I tell him my darkest secrets? How do I go back to a place that nearly broke me? How do I let him see Below the Surface?

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

Ok before I begin with the yummy that is Jeff and Lena I must say……to love these characters’ even more than possible I recommend reading the entire series.  You don’t NEED to but the story will just be THAT much BETTER knowing what Jeff and Lena have been through before actually getting their book…..

Jeff….he really tried with Dani but his heart wasn’t all in it.  His heart was already taken by a certain barmaid who was fun and flirty but closed off and silent about her real life…AKA Lena.

Lena…we don’t know her story until this book but YIKES it’s not a good one.  Its full of sadness and heartbreak but survival!!  Most of all SURVIVAL!!  This girl does anything and everything to survive but once her loved ones are in danger she will sacrifice all to save them.  She will even trust a man that she is scared of because the attraction and pull is so strong.  The last time she had THAT she was betrayed and ruined.

The story does a lot of jumping through time because it is happening at the same time Mason and Dani’s book is happening.  This is part of the reason I recommend reading the whole series to better appreciate all that is happening to these two people.  When the time jump is finished we are in the present and the danger is full on at the front of the story.  Lena’s past has caught up to her present.  Jeff is there to help and protect her but once he SEES her past, he has more compassion and care for this woman.   The two are so involved with each other but they seem to think the other only cares because of the case.

When the two finally begin to date…..the feels are crazy…omg the Christmas Tree Scene….WOW….I mean..yeah…Mason is my baby daddy but Jeff almost stole my heart….LOL

This book was a great addition to the series !!

#review – Radiant by Elizabeth Hayley

Radiant (Diamond Trilogy #2)

He’s worth millions, but he’s worthless without her.

It’s been a month since her traumatic break-up with Derick, and Siobhan now lives in Detroit, where she can support herself and her painting career. But suddenly Derick’s back after flying halfway across the country for her. And though Siobhan’s body comes alive at his touch, she doesn’t know if she can trust him again….

Goodreads

Amazon

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

The story picks up where we left off.  Siobhan moved away and is totally doing her own thing without good old Derick meddling and dumping his money all over which caused her some issues.  Now you would think Derick would learn his lesson but nope he is back at it trying to make Siobhan happy when all he is doing is making matters worse.  Sometimes money isn’t everything Derick.  Derick doesn’t realize that love isn’t what you can buy……..ya know money can’t buy you happiness….life lesso there old Derick.

I love these ladies and most of their novels.  However, this book just didn’t seem to engage me as much as their other stories.  I am just hoping that it’s because I am waiting for the last/final book in the series for it all to come together.

Elizabeth Hayley is actually “Elizabeth” and “Hayley,” two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. The product is Pieces of Perfect, their debut novel.

#Review – The Amber Project (The Variant Saga #1) by JN Chaney

The Amber Project (Volume 1)

In 2157, a mysterious gas known as Variant spreads across the globe, killing or mutating most organic life. The surviving humans take refuge in an underground city, determined to return home. But after generations of failures and botched attempts, hope is beginning to dwindle. That is, until a young scientist makes a unique discovery—and everything changes. Suddenly, there’s reason to hope again, and it rests within a group of genetically engineered children that are both human and Variant.

Terry is one of these children, modified and trained to endure the harsh conditions of a planet he cannot begin to understand. After years of preparation, Terry thinks he knows what to expect. But the reality is far stranger than anything he can imagine—and what he will become is far more dangerous.

Goodreads

Holy dystopia! The Amber Project is a great dystopian journey. This is a genre I love to read and sometimes get a little iffy on how much it will differ from others in the same genre. The author sets the setting so that you are right there. The characters all feel incredibly real. You will connect with them very quickly. Humans are trying to keep their race going while living underground. The earth has been destroyed by the gas, Variant. During the entire story you are given snippets of audio recording from past and present regarding Variant and the various experiments the scientists and the military have been working on. During all of this you live and feel what the genetically altered kids are going through. You see why and how they are taken from their homes and sent to a place where they are trained like soldiers. And finally you experience the changes that they face internally and externally. They are forced to go to the surface for a mission. Many things are unknown and very dangerous. The journey they take and the uprisings going on below the surface are sure to keep you stuck on the story. The ending is very well written. It’s enough to wrap up this story but more than enough to keep you waiting on pins and needles for the next. This is my first story by JN Chaney and absolutely, under no circumstances, be the last. Well done!
