Reasonable Doubt Book Blitz Whitney Gracia Williams


Title: Reasonable Doubt (Volume One)
Author: Whitney G.
Genre: Erotic Romance
Publication Date: April 1, 2014


My cock has an appetite.

A huge and very particular appetite: Blonde, curvy, and preferably not a fucking liar... (Although, that's a story for another day.)

As a high profile lawyer, I don't have time to waste on relationships, so I fulfill my needs by anonymously chatting and sleeping with women I meet online.

My rules are simple: One dinner. One night. No repeats.

This is only casual sex. Nothing more. Nothing less.

At least it was, until "Alyssa"...

She was supposed to be a 27 year old lawyer, a book hoarder, and completely unattractive. She was supposed to be someone I shared law advice with late at night, someone I could trust with details of my weekly escapades.

But then she came into my firm for an interview—a college-intern interview, and everything fucking changed...

Book 1 in a three part Erotic Romance Serial.

Throttle Me by Chelle Bliss Blog Tour Stop

Men of Inked Series Book #1

SYNOPSIS:
Suzy’s a control freak and has her life mapped out - work hard, find a man with a stable job, and live happily ever after. She’s content with the status quo, but her plan comes to a screeching halt when he enters her life and turns it upside down. City gave up on love when his heart was crushed in college, preferring to be the typical bachelor. He spends his nights hopping from one bed to another and his days working at his family tattoo shop, Inked. A chance encounter on a dark road makes him question what he had sworn off forever – a relationship. A night of passion and lust causes them to question everything. Is City the knight in shining armor to the damsel in distress? Can their relationship survive when a fantasy falls apart and a secret comes out that changes everything?


“Do you swear?” I asked as she set the glass back on the bar.
“What?” She gaped at me.
“Do you swear? Simple question. You’ve said ‘heck’ and ‘friggin’’ so far, but nothing dirty.”
“Oh, um, yeah, I swear.” Her cheeks turned pink and a small smile spread across her face. “I’m just used to watching my words with the kids around all day.”
“Prove it,” I said as I stared in her blue sapphire eyes.
“What? Why?”
“Cause I need to know if it’s in you. Are you all good girl or is there more under there dying to come out?” I hid the smile and laughter that was so close to breaking free from my lips. The pink of her cheeks spread across her face. I know I embarrassed her, but fuck, I needed to know if I stood a chance.
“Yes, I swear. What do you think I am? I’m not a child, City.” She glared at me as she raised the drink to her lips and wrapped them around the rim. Fuck I wanted those lips wrapped around my shaft, taking me deep and sucking me off.
“Never said you were, babe. Do you drink besides tonight?” I asked, now smiling because I knew she was upset. I liked the fire I saw in her eyes when I pointed out her good girl qualities – she obviously didn’t like being labeled.
“Sometimes. I’m just responsible. I don’t drink and drive. My dad used to be a cop and it was drilled into my head at an early age.” The words she spoke hit me like a ton of bricks. Drunk driving was the one thing in the world that caused my blood to boil.
Good girl teacher with a cop father? Just my luck. “Nothin’ wrong with that. Virgin daiquiris aren’t always your thing, then?”
“Why? Do I have to be a drinker? I mean does it make me less of an adult?”
“No, Suzy. Just trying to get a feel for who you are – what you are.”

End of the Innocence by Alessandra Torre - BLOG TOUR 3/29/2014

end of the innocense


Synopsis
He thought I owned him. He thought he loved me, that I was enough. But this animal, this sex god who could drive me crazy and steal my heart in the same breath, he would never be fully mine. It was impossible. No one ever owns a God.

Bella's Review
4 Stars.

I have been dying for this book since finishing Masked Innocence. I needed to see Brad and Julia have a HEA. Alessandra Torre's writing style has become one of my favorites. I have come to expect super sexiness with substantial plot and unpredictable twists. There are so many loose ends that needed to be dealt with and I couldn't wait to see how Torre would do it. Work, Brad's family, Alexis, marriage, etc.


Brad is still sex on a stick. He's confident, arrogant and vulnerable in this book. I LOVE how connected he is to Julia. He's devoted to her. And I love how he doesn't beat around the bush.


“But know that I find it despicable that, of all of your sons, I would be the one that you find shameful. Thank you for reminding me of why I cut off contact with you.” Bam. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, daddyo.


Julia is embracing her relationship with Brad. She still struggles to keep her independence and not get completely steamrolled by Brad's dominance. But she is enjoying their...ahem...sexual endeavors.


“This is the animal Brad, my favorite side of him, a side I only see in these moments, when he is watching me with another, and every alpha male instinct is on high alert.”


Not only is she enjoying it but she has graduated to the next level. “The blindfold. I didn't need it.”


“No, no one ever owned a god. But I was working on taming, fooling him into submission.”


We get plenty of sex so be warned – do not read in public! The birthday scene is my favorite. YUM.


From the beginning of the book, there is this forewarning that something bad is going to happen. This kind of took away the element of surprise for me and made the book slightly more predictable than I would have liked. None the less, I was sucked in from the beginning and could not focus on anything other than turning the pages!


It's difficult to say good bye to these characters. I still want more Brad and Julia. The end left me feeling a bit...bereft. It's over?? I mean, I knew the book had to end sometime, but it still crept up on me and left me wanting more.


If you haven't read Blindfolded Innocence and Masked Innocence you have to start with them.



I'm excited to see what Alessandra Torre comes up with next!!

About CD Reiss CD Reiss
CD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets. Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did embed TV story structure in her head well enough for her to take a big risk on a TV series structured erotic series called Songs of Submission. It’s about a kinky billionaire hung up on his ex-wife, an ingenue singer with a wisecracking mouth; art, music and sin in the city of Los Angeles. Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to give the toilets a once-over every couple of weeks or chop a cord of wood. If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

Blog Tour Amy Gregory Gabby Revealed




Title:  Gabby Revealed (Finding Perfect #2)
Author:  Amy Gregory
Genre:  Contemporary Romance
Publication Date:  March 25, 2014
Event organized byLiterati Author Services, Inc.

Synopsis

Gabby James didn’t have the idyllic childhood many in her little hometown of Renlend, Kansas had. High school was a living hell, but when she graduated she couldn’t bring herself to leave Renlend. The town was her prison, but her family’s bookstore, The Looking Glass, was her one true love. It was the place she could run to, and escape the prying eyes of the ones who taunted her.

Shane Compton was a literary agent in one of the most prestigious publishing houses in New York City. He found no greater rush than finding the next big talent, someone who could take the written word and turn it into an art form. In the span of one rude phone call Shane was drawn into the mystery of just who the fiery new author from Kansas was. When everyone else in the office refused to deal with her, Shane willingly accepted the challenge. There was no logic to the madness, but every time he had contact with her, she drove him wild.

Gabby tried every trick in the book to keep Shane at arm’s length, but he had made good on his promise to come to Kansas. He wanted to pull her out of anonymity, he wanted her in the public eye. Now here he stood, on the sidewalk in front her bookstore, and one look told her he was everything she was afraid he’d be. Too bad she was anything but who he thought she was.

Gabby quickly discovers Shane has more on his mind than just books and with a little help from an ornery matchmaker, he shows her a whole new life through her looking glass.

Review:


4 Stars!


I knew I would love Gabby's story! When I was first introduced to Gabby in Mike's Way Back I knew I would love her character. She is a spitfire! The circumstances that made her that way are really upsetting, but I think she managed to turn around and be exactly who she needed to be. Gabby had a terrible childhood. You know those girls who run over anybody they think is less than them? Yeah, she had to deal with that. So she had to protect herself, so when she wrote a book she used a pen name. Which quickly became something so much more than she expected!


Now enter in Shane Compton. He had only talked to her on the phone and she was always short and rude, but he still found her intriguing. So he takes off to Kansas to meet her face to face and try to get her to come out to the public about who she was. And guess what happens next? They have amazing chemistry together! But Gabby fights it, she doesn't want to trust him because she wouldn't survive the aftermath when he left.


Shane gets to witness first hand how her parents are with the girls who are still treating her with disrespect. They want to brush it off and pretend nothing was wrong. Gabby cares for her neighbor whose health seems to be failing more and more. Shane sees the connection and talks with him about Gabby. He tells Shane that it's Gabby story to tell, but then he goes and plays match maker. Just love how he puts them together :) Gabby still pushes him away, but Shane has determination and decides he wants to try to make things work. So he makes plans to move to Kansas. This is where things get interesting. I don't want to ruin the story so take my word and go grab this book!!







Amy's writing is brilliant, but the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is sometimes it was hard to distinguish who was speaking. It would start a paragraph with one person speaking and then change up to somebody else and I would have to re-read it to make sure who was speaking.


About the Author
When asked ‘when do you have time to write’, Amy Gregory simply laughs.  The real answer is, “in bits and pieces”.  She and her husband live in Kansas City with their three fantastic kids that keep them running in three very different directions.  Because she sits so much, she always carries a notebook with her at all times.
She has an off the wall, snarky, off the cuff sense of humor that often shocks even those who’ve known her for years.  And she loves that her children have all been blessed that ability to make others laugh as well.  At least she’s grateful most of the time!  Her husband often teases her about how she “makes this stuff up” when he’s reading a piece of her work. … The answer—“it just comes to me when I’m typing”. Scary thought, huh!

Still Life with Strings by L.H. Cosway

Still Life with Strings by L.H. Cosway
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

description

I was so excited to buddy read this with Christy & Foxy! We tend to always find the good ones!

I had no idea what to expect....and let me tell you-It was beautiful!
I loved the authors words in this book. I could relate to a lot of the book (uh, no I have not been in love with a violinist - LOL). But the need for music -- I feel that.

"Sometimes I hate when the music stops, hate the finality."


"What is he doing to me? Why is he doing this to me? He doesn't even know it, but he's making me love him."
I hope you guys enjoy this one... it is one of the goodens.

Still Life with StringsStill Life with Strings by L.H. Cosway
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4-4.5 Bluebird stars!

To be a muse is to be a wonder in someone else’s eyes, flaws and all.



Full of beauty, music and love, Still Life with Strings is a wonderful contemporary romance you won’t want to miss out on.
Are some people supposed to meet? Is everything coincidence, or are some things fate?

One fateful evening, Shane see’s a woman in blue posing on the street. He approaches her, just feeling this need to be near her. They don’t know anything about one another, but they both feel it. This connection, attraction.

Jade is a 26 year old woman with the weight of the world on her shoulders. She is fun and spunky, but she has a lot of responsibility. Life hasn’t handed her the easiest hand. She takes care of her three younger siblings and works full time as a server at the orchestra. Shane’s life is dramatically different. He is a 29 year old violinist. Growing up as a prodigy, music has been his life.

   photo d5cb9b5c-84bd-481a-9b79-472c3905b655_zps4a4d4c29.jpg


Shane is the newest violinist where Jade works. Both of them are shocked to see one another. Shane hasn’t been able to get Jade out of his head. He wants to pursue something with her, go out, get to know her. As much as Jade is attracted to Shane, she can’t be in relationships. With everything going on in her home life, and things that have happened in her past, it’s not a risk she can afford to take. There is something about Jade. Shane wants her in his life, even if it’s just as friends. He desperately needs a friend. He wants to learn to live for real, and Jade is just the person to teach him.
 
I’ve a feeling that having this sad, lonely, lovely man in my life is going to change it irrevocably.



   photo ce51f19a-1181-402f-a7d9-05470f1af562_zps2c4f842c.jpg

Jade enjoys Shane’s company. But the attraction that continues to grow between them doesn’t make it easy on her.
 
I didn’t anticipate how hard it would be to stay platonic with a man I’m this strongly attracted to . There’s an underlying note of sex in everything we do.



Jade was my kind of heroine. A little quirky, funny and strong. There were times I wanted to tell her to just take a chance on Shane, but I understood her reasons for staying away so long, so it didn’t annoy me much.
Shane was a beautiful and soulful man. I enjoyed everything about his character. He was a little shy and awkward due to his upbringing, but I found him to be endearing. He wasn’t perfect, he had some issues, but so did Jade.

   photo 191c47d2-804f-4dce-b327-1b054d8644a7_zps20978a8e.jpg


I loved watching the tension and attraction between Jade and Shane build. Shane was sweet and shy a lot of the book, but when he came out of his shell, he was sexy.
 
“How are you so good at this?”

“Maybe I spent a little too much time imagining doing it to you.”

Okay, that was the best answer.
The. Best. Answer.



And I was happy that there was some humor in the story as well. As many lovely and beautiful lines as there were, this comical line may have been my favorite. Because lest face it- it’s the truth!
 
Anything that feels this perfect needs to be vocalized with a couple shits and fucks.




The story its self was smart, interesting and unique in many ways. I enjoyed both of the main characters and the unpredictable twists and turns. L.H. Cosway has an incredible way with words. The books of her’s I’ve read almost have a magical quality. It was a touching and beautiful story I would recommend.

   photo 8f260e15-91ce-4165-b750-e51eb2a804f0_zps4c3c8974.jpg

 
   
It's not like I haven’t spent half of my life imagining fantasies to try to escape the darkness. I remember him telling me he felt like he dreamt me the first night we met. Perhaps he feels the same way. Perhaps I’m just as much as a miracle to him as he is to me.
