Release Blast: Crossing Hope by Kimberly Kincaid


About CROSSING HOPE:

Forbidden fruit never tasted so sweet...
Marley Rallston would rather be anywhere other than too-small-for-a-map-dot Millhaven, Virginia. But thanks to a heap of debt, what was supposed to be a quick trip to fulfill her mother’s dying wish has turned into an extended stay with the family she never knew she had and the father who never wanted her. To top it off, now she’s being forced to do community service with the town’s biggest bad boy, when all she wants to do is make enough cash to get out of Dodge? Life can’t get much worse.
The only thing Greyson Whittaker cares about is his family’s farm. He’ll do anything to keep Whittaker Hollow in the black, including live up to his rough, tough reputation by running the place by himself, no matter the cost. Mandatory community service with the daughter of their biggest rival is the last thing he wants or needs. But the more time Greyson and Marley spend together, the hotter their attraction burns, and the more the unlikely pair begins to realize that forbidden fruit just might taste the sweetest…

Take Me In The Night by R.L. Kenderson

Title: Take Me In the Night

Author: R.L. Kenderson

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About TAKE ME IN THE NIGHT:

First, he took my heart. It started in high school. I was his girlfriend…he was the love of my life. We had plans for after graduation. We were going to escape—he from his family’s reputation and me from my father’s control. But all that changed the summer before college. Charged with a crime he hadn’t committed, he was whisked away from life, never to be heard from again. Then, he takes my body. Twelve years later, he’s back. He’s bigger, he’s tougher, and he’s harder around the edges. He’s no longer the boy I fell in love with. But I’m no longer the girl who gave him her heart. Everything’s changed between us. Anger, resentment, and bitterness have replaced happiness, love, and trust. Except for when darkness falls. That’s when he comes to me at night, taking what is still his. Now, he’s going to take my soul. When the lines between our old love and our new hate begin to blur, I know that, this time, I might not survive if he leaves.
 

MY REVIEW:

I love a good old love returning story, and this was a good one. There is conflict, misunderstanding, passion, and mystery. All the things you look for in an addicting read. This book gave me all I wanted and more, I wasn’t sure how it would end at some points. They have that epic high school love story that you root for. The two that shouldn’t be together yet you can’t see them with anyone else either. Something goes horribly wrong though and they get separated. As the description says they come back to the same town to discover the feelings never really died. However, can they let the past go and move forward even with all the roadblocks in their way? You will have to read and find out. I do hope this author writes more in the series I really liked the friends and some of the secondary characters in this book. Go now and grab your copy so you can know what I am talking about. ;-) message me on Facebook and let me know who your favorite character in the book is! Enjoy this one in your favorite reading spot now…

About R.L. Kenderson:

R.L. Kenderson is two best friends writing under one name. Renae has always loved reading, and in third grade, she wrote her first poem where she learned she might have a knack for this writing thing. Lara remembers sneaking her grandmother’s Harlequin novels when she was probably too young to be reading them, and since then, she knew she wanted to write her own. When they met in college, they bonded over their love of reading and the TV show Charmed. What really spiced up their friendship was when Lara introduced Renae to romance novels. When they discovered their first vampire romance, they knew there would always be a special place in their hearts for paranormal romance. After being unable to find certain storylines and characteristics they wanted to read about in the hundreds of books they consumed, they decided to write their own. One lives in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and the other in the Kansas City area where they’re a sonographer/stay-at-home mom/wife and pharmacist/mother by day, and together they’re a sexy author by night. They communicate through phone, email, and whole lot of messaging. You can find them at http://www.rlkenderson.com, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and Goodreads.

About LAWBREAKER: Raised on the streets, Shay Morgan yearns for a real family, where love is unconditionally offered—even when trust doesn’t come easy. Before that day arrives, she trespasses and steals in order to provide for the few people who’ve gone out of their way to protect her. Born to privilege, Ben Bishop loathes his family for the despicable things they’ve done, and not done. He vows to be different, play by the rules, do the right thing. Building a thriving nightclub with those who share his values dominates his world. One explosive night at his bar, Loading Zone, changes everything. For both of them. Forever. A dance of opponents commences as they thwart with suspicion, start to trust, then sidestep to protect themselves from a fatal blow. Until they soon wonder if they’ve been fighting for the same side all along. As they begin to open their hearts, they up the stakes with a one-week pact. She shows him the power in breaking the law. He demonstrates the virtue of following it. Then a far-reaching crime is suddenly exposed—that his family committed. And for one chance moment, Shay and Ben hold the key to right the wrong, correct the injustice. But at what cost? Will they be able to return from the other side together? Or will their differences tear them apart? Flirting with danger...has never been so tempting. ***LAWBREAKER is a standalone, full-length new adult romance told in dual POV. Due to mature themes and adult language, this book is for those 18
 and older.***

Exclusive LAWBREAKER Excerpt:


From Ben's point of view... The rumble of the idling V8 engine vibrated through the truck. Faint gasoline fumes wafted in through the cranked-down windows, then blew out just as fast on the crosswind. But none of those distractions fazed Shay. Her attention had fixed solely on me. “Why do you like me?” “More than like you.” She didn’t say anything to my clarification. Instead, those expressive green eyes searched mine. Her chest rose with a measured inhale, fell on a slower exhale. Her slender brows twitched down for a split second. “But why?” A million reasons came to mind. But in that moment, one echoed with more force than the rest. “You live loud...without saying a word. When you’re around, you drown out all the noise. When I’m with you, there is nothing else.” Silence filled the cab. We sat on opposite sides. Lap belts held us securely down. But she flattened her small hand over the worn leather of the bench seat, into the space between us. I bridged the remaining gap, spread my fingers wide, until my larger pinky touched hers, knuckle to tip. Long seconds drifted by. The engine rumbled. The crosswind blew. But we didn’t move away from our fragile connection. We stared at each other...and saw through every defense we’d built. As we inhaled and exhaled, breaths coming faster, shallower, I got the sense that we breathed common air for the very first time. We’d come from different worlds, but we occupied the same space in that moment. In spite of our differences. Maybe because of them. But on her next quick breath, her brow furrowed. Her hand twitched away. Whatever she struggled with had broken through. That spiky armor clamped back around her. Moment over. And yet, she still stared at me. Gaze fierce. Jaw set. “When I’m with you, I become someone else. I forget who I am. And I can’t let that happen. You make me believe I can trust again. And that terrifies me.” I stared back at her, undaunted. “I will never let you forget who you are. Become someone else with me, someone better. Get terrified; we’ll only grow stronger.” After a long beat, she sucked in a deep breath. Then she pursed her lips and blew it out, nice and slow. She remained silent. Committed to nothing. But then I felt her pinky press against mine. Tentative, at first. Then firmer, solid. She’d spoken, in her own way. And I’d heard loud and clear: I’ll become someone better, I’ll get terrified...just as long as you don’t let me down. I gusted out a relieved sigh. “Well, hell. No pressure there.” She didn’t laugh. Her eyes narrowed. I reached farther and slid my hand over hers. “I won’t let you down.” Nothing in the world could make me blow this...even though the weight of our world rested on my shoulders. Including lightening the mood. Now. Before she changes her mind and bolts from your truck.

SPOTLIGHT POST: Wherever You Go Series by Robin Bieman


BOOK ONE:



As the Dating Guy on L.A.'s top morning show, I give the single guy's perspective on dating, love, and sex―and I give great advice. Everyone's hooking up…well, except for me. Sure, I can get any woman I want, but I've got a "no relationship" clause in my contract and the only woman I want has "relationship" written all over her. Probably stamped on her ass, too. And wouldn't I like to confirm that.
Unfortunately, she wants nothing to do with me. At all. Something about the next Ice Age might have even come up in her rebuttal. Adorable. Because she's determined to ignore what one simple kiss proved: she wants me as badly as I want her.
Everything in me is screaming to go after her, but I've got a secret that I'm fairly certain will end up with her roasting my nuts over an open fire. So, job on the line? Check. Nuts on the line? Check. Can't get her out of my head? Nail…meet coffin. But what a way to go…
Each book in the Wherever You Go series is STANDALONE:
* Talk British to Me
* Lips Close to Mine
* Too Hard to Resist



Review:

                So this author was suggested to me by a trusted friend and I had to read it. I mean just look at the cover and who doesn’t like a British accent. Well only a couple paragraph’s in and I was not going to be able to stop. The problem was I was at work; they tend to frown on you reading instead to working. So I had to stop and start again after the kids when to sleep. Reading about Mateo and Teague (by the way I love this name!) was so entertaining I had trouble going to sleep. Mateo had so much arrogance, I mean it was huge, that you have to laugh, and I liked that Teague could see the real him. They are both very wealthy with family money yet both insist of making their own way in the world. This for me made the characters more relatable and pulled at my heart. You want to root for their love to overcome their joint stubbornness. The way the supporting characters are woven in also makes you crave more. Need to know what happens with the friends, do they find love, do they stay single?  FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS BOOKS WHAT HAPPENS!!  I am happy to report there are two other books in this series! I will be reviewing the rest as well. For now if you have yet to read this please go buy it curl up in your favorite spot and enjoy!


                                                                      BOOK Two:
                                                                        
                                                                           

I wasn't supposed to see Levi Pierce ever again. A few months ago, we had one incredible date. One. That's how I like it.


End of story.
Only it wasn't. Pretty soon everywhere I turn, I see him. Our best friends are dating. My mother mistakenly--and happily--thinks he's my plus-one to my cousin's wedding. And he's the guy I have to work with on the most important job opportunity of my life.
Here's my problem: I like Levi. I like his killer smile, his dreamboat eyes, and definitely the way he makes me feel. But I've sworn off relationships. So when the sexual tension reaches epic proportions, I tell myself it's temporary. When I start to feel more, I tell myself it's over.
Only Levi isn't a forget-it kind of guy. When his lips are close to mine, and he swears he's always wanted me, my defenses disappear. But he's heading off to new adventures an ocean away, and some things in life just aren't meant to be.
Right?




REVIEW:

Where do I start, lol I know how about with the first time we are introduced to these two. Levi and Harper are in the first book Talk British to Me; however we don’t realize they know each other until almost the end. It is a WOW moment and I for one was thrilled to read their story. Robin set this one up perfectly! Levi and Harper have a past and future connection that is perfectly written into this story. Harper has suffered a tragedy no one should and it has molded her life into what she feels is safe and what ‘must be’. She will even fight anyone who tries to screw it up, including her own heart.
                Levi, hmm, what to say what to say. How about WOW, he is the full package. He is sweet, attentive, romantic, and loyal to a fault. However he too has a past hurt that is forcing him to see only what he wants on the surface. What does he want you ask, Harper in his bed, not his heart, Not his life, just between the sheets. It is fun to read about these two because they are so clueless to what is happening and what could be an epic romance they try to put in a box. The banter, the play, the chemistry, all is written to PERFECTION. I had a hard time at work because I didn’t want to put it down after my breaks were over. So grab this awesome book NOW curl up and start reading in your favorite spot. 

                                                                  BOOK Three:

One rookie assistant + one demanding executive = flirting that is too hot to handle.
Have you ever wished for the perfect job? Me, too. So when I land a temporary gig with a worthwhile and exemplary startup, I'm determined to make it permanent. That my boss is the gorgeous, clever Elliot Sax is nothing I can't handle. We may steal glances at each other and straddle the line of playing it safe, but our partnership is too important for complications. Not to mention workplace hookups are against the rules.
But when our attraction flames hotter, our best efforts are put to the test. I never imagined having to fight my feelings for him on a daily basis and keeping my hands to myself is absolutely killing me.
Until I can't. Until we can't. And what's at stake becomes more than our jobs. What's at risk is our hearts.

REVIEW:
Book Three in the Wherever you Go series did not disappoint. In most series there is always something in each that grasp on to my heart. In book one I could relate to Teague a lot and felt at times she was like me. In book 2 it was Levi that pulled me in and Harper that made me shake my head. However, this book is my favorite because I felt everything. I understood a lot of what Madison was going through with being cheated on and trying to wade through the jerks to see if any decent guys are out there. Lol I am still looking. Elliot has a drive to succeed because it’s how he survived being the middle child in a home that was hard on him. These two have known each other for so long in never even occurs to them they could like each other. I think it’s what made this story so real for me. We can go through our days so focused on what we want sometimes we forget or don’t see what we need.
                Elliot was a playboy in the first two books and I wondered how Robin was going to bring the REAL Elliot out. Once again she did it naturally it’s not all at once and even he is surprised at the amount of himself he shares with Madison. Now Madison is another story, we get to know her in book one, two and this one even more. She is such a kind person you can’t help but love her. Add in that she went to college, has a degree, is not wanting to live off her parents (who are LOADED) and what is not to love? Robin created these characters that may come from money but they want/need to succeed on their own and I loved that! Now there is one part that made me laugh because I don’t know if it’s the mom in me or the fact that I hate washing dishes but… There is a scene that both Madison and Elliot are doing dishes by hand in one of the Mansions their families own. This was funny to me because if I had a Mansion I would either hire someone to do the dishes or have a dishwasher. I was however impressed that they both knew how to do dishes in the first place. This is what I mean by Robin giving her characters more depth and realness.  Alight you know what I’m going to say, go grab this book and read it in your favorite spot.

Hot Spell by Mia London



Today we have the blog tour of HOT SPELL by Mia London & Susan Sheehey! Check it out and grab your copy today!!




Title: Hot Spell


Genre: Contemporary Romance



About Hot Spell:

She never trusted love. He never believed he’d be worthy.


An emergency vacation at a luxury Mexican resort is a foolproof pick-me-up for Jordan Beck’s broken-hearted bestie. Former Olympic-hopeful, Jordan has planned a getaway worthy of a perfect score: nightly parties, exotic drinks, and sandy beaches. She never expected to find perfection in the resort’s emerald-eyed bartender.



Life’s a gift to Zac Durant, and he’s determined to live it to the fullest. Tending bar at a resort is a small price to pay if it means he can scuba and surf every day in paradise. He’s content—until a Latina beauty struts across his pool patio and orders his best drink.  Although Zac isn’t the kind to hook up with guests, he can’t resist the petite sexy woman who makes his world flip cartwheels.

This sensual interlude in paradise should be just a vacation fling, but sparks explode into fireworks, and they are tempted to believe it’s something real. When the illusion of perfection fades, Jordan must decide if love is worth a shot at the gold.


 
Except:

Zac pulled his shirt over his head to don his scuba gear, giving Jordan the first glimpse of his bare chest.
Damn. Poseidon, indeed.
She was thankful she was still sitting, because that man could knock her over faster than any wave.
He strapped the BCD vest to his chest, and grabbed his flippers and mask. Then held out his hand. “You ready to go, buddy?”
“Every day of the week, and twice tonight.”
He grinned, a slight blush gracing his cheeks that had nothing to do with the sunshine. 
They jumped off and went under together.
The second the water closed overhead, the world silenced. The only thing she could hear was the slow intake of air through her regulator, and her own heartbeat. Bubbles danced to the surface on exhale, and she watched them climb to the obscured sunlight above.
On the way down, she plugged her nose and equalized the pressure through her ears, repeating the same motion every ten feet. The water cooled the farther down they went. At the bottom, the sand was a light gray spotted with gnarled coral, blending in with the rocks.
Zac rapped on his tank a few times to get her attention.
Even with the mouthpiece, she noticed his smile because his eyes narrowed slightly through the mask. The water couldn’t mute those jade irises.
Her breath caught. Amplified by the sound of the air tank.
Zac motioned forward toward the rest of the group. He let her swim ahead, him keeping back at an arm’s length. He’d probably done this dive a hundred times. His job was not just to be her buddy, but keep the group together on the tail end. Make sure no one got lost. She thought there was nothing like the feel of the water enveloping her like a blanket, weightless and freeing.
She was wrong. Zac’s presence behind her on this adventure of freedom amped up her excitement.
Light glinted off the abundant fish in a flash of silver, but they skittered away when she came near. A few yards ahead, a moray eel peeked out from a hole in the rocks.
Zac slipped his fingers in hers, and squeezed. He pointed to the other side.
A large manta ray glided along the seabed, the wingspan as large as a loveseat. The white spots on its dark back reminded Jordan of her mom’s Australian Shepherd, Brandy. They floated along, keeping up with the group at a short distance. The guests veered around a bend in the rocks. Zac’s hand slid up the back of her knee along her thigh. She turned her head, and let her feet drop, so she floated vertically.
His hands skimmed across her hips, smooth and cool. 
Then he removed his mask.
Her breathing escalated. What the heck is he doing?
He blinked against the water, and took one last breath on his regulator. Then pulled it out, letting it float beside him. He motioned for her to do the same.
She took another breath, and pulled it out.
He tugged her toward him. He wrapped his ankle around her calf, and cradled her neck in his hands.
His lips touched hers, soft and gentle. Then he brushed his tongue against her seam, and she opened for him.
His hot mouth melded with hers, countering the cool water against her cheeks.
Nothing was as hot as the heat pooling between her thighs. 
The salty sea mixed with his own taste, and she wanted more.
Jordan deepened the kiss, as much as she could with her mask still in place. But Zac pulled back.
He put the regulator back in his mouth, and took a deep breath.
She did the same. Her pace was faster like he’d taken her remaining air with that kiss. Bubbles came out of his unit faster, too.

She grinned against the mouthpiece. She’d taken his breath away, as well.

About Mia:

Mia loves to write!



She’s been reading fiction for years and finally decided that the images and scenes floating around in her head needed to make it to paper.



She’s a huge fan of romance, highly optimistic, and wildly faithful to the HEA (happily ever after). She’s inspired by most anything around her. And her biggest obstacle is not having enough time to get it all down on paper (or my computer, as the case may be).



Her goal is create a fantasy you will enjoy with characters you could love.



She lives in Texas with her attentive, loving, super-model husband, and her perfectly behaved, brilliant children. Her produce never wilts, there are no weeds in her flowerbeds, and chocolate is her favorite food group.
And then she wakes up.
