RELEASE BOOST – Never Too Late by Micalea Smeltzer

 

 

Title: Never Too Late
Series: Willow Creek #2
Author: Micalea Smeltzer
 
 
 Release Date: April 21, 2015
 

 


 

Synopsis 

I’d never met anyone quite like Mathias Wade.

He was brooding and arrogant, but I loved him anyway.

Together we were wild and uncontained—a hurricane raging.

Then I had to leave, and words were exchanged that could never be undone.

But now I was back, and Mathias better watch out, because this bitch wasn’t finished with him.

Game. Set. Match.

All is fair in love and war, right?

Mathias Wade, the lead singer of Willow Creek, is used to getting everything he wants. Except for Remy Parker—the one that got away. Childhood friends that grew into more, Remy was the one constant in his life until she moved away. In anger, he lashed out and broke the only girl he ever loved. With temptation around every corner Mathias drowns his sorrow in women and alcohol. When the band returns to their hometown for the holidays the last thing Mathias expects is to run into Remy—but she’s back, and she’s not done with him.
 

Remy never forgot Mathias or the pain he caused her. When she moves back to the place she grew up
to take care of her ailing grandma her heart is set on revenge. She’s determined to make Mathias fall in love with her all over again—only this time she’s going to break his heart.

But Mathias never stopped loving Remy—and she soon discovers that her feelings haven’t disappeared either.

Can two people too stubborn for their own good overcome their own demons and find the love they always deserved?

Excerpt

I jumped up on the counter and he moved to stand in front of me, bracing his hands beside my hips. I kicked my legs against the cabinets like a little kid as he stared down at me intensely. I wasn’t sure what he was looking for in my eyes, but he must have found it, because he cupped my cheek and leaned in.
 
“This feels like when we were younger,” he whispered. “Like no time at all has passed.” His words echoed my previous thoughts.
 
I closed my eyes, feeling his breath fan across my lips.
 
God, I’d missed him.
 
It didn’t seem possible to miss someone I’d grown to hate, but I did.
 
I was pretty sure that when someone like Mathias came into your life they were impossible to forget.
 
He was like the sun, burning so bright that even once he was gone I was still blinded.
 
“Did you ever miss me?” I asked. “Even once?” I held my breath, waiting for him to explode—because that was Mathias. He could be nice one minute and an asshole the next. I wouldn’t put it past him to kick me out for my question.
Instead he surprised me by leaning in impossibly closer and nuzzling my neck. “Always.”

Cover Reveal for Resentment by Nicole London

 

 

Title: Resentment
Author: Nicole London
Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs
 Release Date: Summer 2015

 

Synopsis

Re•sent•ment 

noun re•sent•ment \ri-ˈzent-mənt\The act of hating – no, fucking loathing Dean Collins. (Yes, I’m well aware that’s not the actual definition, but it might as well be . . .)

It’s been ten years since we’ve seen each other and the feelings are still as strong.

I’m not going to bore you with all the details of how our love was once intoxicating, consuming, and perfect.

Because it was . . . until it wasn’t.

I’ve been fine without him. I haven’t missed his cruelty, his coldness and his spite.

And after the ugliest breakup in the history of breakups, I forced myself to move on.

Year by year, the feelings I had for him slowly drifted away, but one encounter with him recently changed everything. One encounter made me realize how the heart doesn’t forget shit, and how my mind is going to have to work overtime to make sure I never forget my definition of resentment.

Author Bio

Mandy Lou Dowson was born and raised in a small town in Ireland, in 1983, and at this stage in life, she’s pretty sure the town won’t let her leave. Family is a huge deal to Mandy. She has three wonderful children (most of the time), and two Siberian Huskies who are each as naughty as the other – in fact, she’s sure they egg each other on in silly cartoon voices when nobody is looking.

“Climb out the window and get covered in mud.”

“No, I did it last time. You do it!”

“R’uh, r’oh, here SHE is. Shhh.”

When she’s not writing, reading, or plotting her next book — or, you know, world domination – , she likes to relax with a few glasses of wine and some karaoke. You can usually find her procrastinating on social media of some sort, chatting to fans and talking nonsense.

Mandy started reading at quite a young age and her appetite for the written word has only increased with time. It would not be at all surprising to find her reading anything and everything from shampoo bottles to Edgar Allan Poe.
She is the author of three different genres of romance books. The Moon Bound series, which is in the Paranormal Romance genre, and is gathering rave reviews, and the Taboo series, which is Contemporary with a hint of the forbidden, the first of which has gathered very mixed reviews across the board, from one extreme to the other.

She has also made a foray into Dark Romance recently, with her first title in the genre, Retribution, releasing in Summer 2015.

Excerpt
 
“I’m not someone you can go ‘wham, bam, thank you ma’am’ with. That’s not my style and if that’s what you’re looking for, then I’m not who you want. I’m a relationship girl, Noah. Always have been and always will be.” I square my shoulders, not daring to look away from him. It’s as if we’re kids having a staring contest, except we’re not kids, and the stakes are far higher than trying to win the last cookie left in the jar. No, the stakes are much, much higher and we both know it.He looks away first, staring out the window behind me as he bites the side of his lip, mulling over something. “You don’t know me.”

“No I don’t, Noah. I know of you… but then there’s the fact we shared the best kiss of my entire life together.” An uneasy silence stretches between us. His eyes meet mine again and I’m struck with just how much depth there is there. This is a side of Noah that very few people see.  
 
“God, I wish I remembered that kiss,” he murmurs, his voice desperate, longing as he drops his eyes to the floor.
 
“I wish you did, too.” My voice is laced with regret. After what feels like forever he snaps his head up, seemingly reaching a decision. Pinning me with an intense stare, he starts moving forward.“I just need a chance. Let me get to know you. Let me show you the real me.”

“Friends, Noah. That’s all I can do right now.” A slow, almost knowing smile ghosts across his lips.

“Friends,” he says, as if he’s testing the word. “I can do that … to start with anyway.” He steps closer until our bodies are almost
touching and it’s impossible to ignore the heat now radiating between us. “I’m going to show you the real me. I’m not just a cocky asshole with a black book the size of Chicago.”

My chest tightens at the thought that a) he would know that many people and b) have slept with that many women. If I was in that black book I’d wanna dip myself in bleach before taking a cocktail of every antibiotic available.
 
“I want you to like what you see . . .”“I—” My protest is stopped by his index finger pressing against my lips. It takes everything in me not to just reach out my tongue to taste it.

“I want you to want to know me. But I need you to know . . .” His warm breath caresses my skin as he leans his face closer to mine. My breathing is so erratic it’s a wonder I haven’t passed out, something I almost do when his lips gently suck on the skin beneath my ear before he whispers so softly, I almost think I’m hearing things. But as his deliciously potent words sink in, I realize there is no way I’ve
misheard him.


“I’m going to make you fall in love with me. And I’m not gonna stop until you do.”

SERIES BLITZ – The Rockstar Series by Anne Mercier

 

Series: Rockstar
Author: Anne Mercier

 

 

#1 Falling Down

 

DISCLAIMER!

If you’re unable to suspend disbelief and escape to the Rockstar Land of Fiction, then this book probably isn’t for you.

As with all the Rockstar books, this book contains mature content and is inappropriate for persons under 18 years of age.

This story contains grief, loss, sadness, darkness, light, happiness, angst, swearing, explicit sex, graphic violence, new beginnings, and soulmates.

I recommend listening to the playlist whenever possible to get the full effect of the story. You may need tissues.


Jesse Kingston, lead singer for Falling Down, is a tall, dark, and gorgeous temptation I don’t want to resist.

I’m going to ignore all the warning signs and do what I normally wouldn’t—I’m going to indulge my fantasies and give this sexy rocker what he wants and something he won’t soon forget—me.

Will our time together end up changing this bad boy? Or will it end up changing me? 

***This is a stand-alone novel with a HEA. No cliffhanger***

#2 Blush

 

*WARNING* This is NOT a dark romance. There will be MINIMAL angst or drama. There will be lots of laughs, frequent dropping of the F-bomb, and crazy monkey sex. 

You know how people say they woke up in Vegas married and you’re like, how the hell could that possibly happen? Who does that? Well, us apparently… and the press is having a field day.

Let’s not even get started on the topic of my mother. Then there’s my grandpa wanting to meet my new husband–that’s not scary at all. On top of that, we’re heading out on tour and I’m a nervous wreck–factor in the fact that Jesse’s newly changed marital status doesn’t seem to be an issue for the groupies. Nothing deters them. Not even the fact that I’m standing right there when they proposition him.

I can handle the press, my mom, and even my grandpa. But the women who are ruining my current mood of “happy”, well, they’ve got another thing coming. It’s time to put these women in their place because nobody messes with my happily ever after.

Sera

He’s my protector, my confidante. Then one night he became more. I want him, I need him, and, if I’m honest with myself, I love him. I just don’t know if he’ll ever see me as more than what we’ve always been: friends. I don’t want to lose him but it’s getting harder and harder to keep my feelings to myself. Should I risk it all or play it safe?

Cage 

She’s my light, my saving grace. The night we came together I knew I could never live without her. I want her to be mine: my lover, my friend. Maybe, if I can get her to see past all the reasons why we shouldn’t be together, she’ll be my forever. It just might be time to turn it up and go for broke.

#4 Interlude

 

It’s time to go back on tour…Being on the road will be challenging for me with the Kingston litter on board. Add in the Blush Baby campaign that is now underway, the never-ending threats to the family, the Jesse-obsessed fans, and the changes that have happened since the last time we were on tour, I can’t help but wonder what else is in store for us.

One thing’s for sure: It won’t be boring.
