New Release - Winning Me Over by Amber Garza

TITLE: Winning Me OverAUTHOR: Amber GarzaGenre: New Adult ContemporaryRelease Day: October 7, 2013
DESCRIPTION:

NEW YOUNG ADULT CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR AMBER GARZA....

***Spin off from bestselling novel TRIPPING ME UP but can be read as a stand alone ***

It's a typical boring night at work when I first meet the mysterious and sexy Colt Lancaster. Minutes after he leaves, I'm robbed at gunpoint by a masked man.

I suspect the two events are related.

No matter how hard Colt tries to convince me that it was all just a coincidence, my gut tells me otherwise. However, the more I get to know him the more I want to believe him. Just when he's about to win me over, a condemning secret from his past is exposed.

Amber Garza is the author of Young Adult paranormal and contemporary romance. She has had a passion for writing since she was a little girl, making books out of notebook paper and staples. Amber lives in California with her amazing husband and two hilarious children who provide her with enough material to keep her writing for years.

Cover Reveal - TEXT by Cambria Hebert

Title: TEXTAuthor: Cambria HebertCover Designer: Mae I DesignRelease Date: November 8, 2013Series: Take It Off series - Note: the Take It Off series is a series of stand alones. Each book is its own story. Genre: New adult contemporary - due to graphic language and sexual content this book is recommended for readers 18+. Synopsis

***This is a new adult contemporary novel and contains sexual content and graphic language. It is not intended for young adult readers.***

One text can change everything.

Honor Calhoun never thought her life would ever be like the books she writes for a living. One morning while out for a run, she learns not all bad things are plots in novels. Some horrors can actually come true.

She faces off with a persistent attacker, holds her own, but in the end is taken hostage and thrown into a hole. In the middle of the woods.

But Honor didn’t go down there alone.

She took her kidnapper’s phone with her. With a spotty signal and a dying battery, her hope is slim.

Nathan Reed is an active duty Marine stationed at a small reserve base in Pennsylvania. All he wants is a calm and uneventful duty station where he can forget the memories of his time in a war-torn country.

But a single text changes everything.

Nathan becomes Honor’s only hope for survival, and he has to go against the clock, push aside his past, and take on a mission for a girl he’s never met.

Both of them want freedom… but they have to survive long enough to obtain it.   Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18524210-text?ac=1

TITLE: DECLARATIONAUTHOR: RACHAEL WADEGENRE: NEW ADULT CONTEMPORARYRELEASE DATE: October 15, 2013
SYNOPSIS -

Featuring characters from Love and Relativity, a Preservation Series Companion Novel

Carter Montgomery spent most of his life blending in, and he liked it that way. It was always better to be seen, not heard. And while a theatric streak and friendly demeanor might have fooled most people, he knew the truth—he was the shy one. The quiet kid most people forgot about. Some might have considered that a bad thing, but those people all wanted to be in the spotlight.

The only place Carter didn’t mind attention was on stage, with The Hellions. Once content in his comfort zone in Seattle, Washington, he only knew three things: confrontation was to be avoided, keeping the peace was priority, and the moment he lost Kate Parker to Professor Ryan Campbell, he had no clue what to do with his life. Playing gigs, working at Pike Place Market, and watching BBC after the love of his life sailed off into the sunset just wasn’t going to cut it anymore.

Desperate to escape his rut, he takes a cue from Kate and chooses a random place to relocate—a small island across the country, where no one knows his name and memories of unrequited love aren’t found at every turn. Just when he thinks he’s found the perfect place to unwind and sink back into the shadows, in bursts Whitney Sinclair, a saucy firecracker who loves life and refuses to settle for second best. Full of contagious energy, she dares him to be brave, convincing him that it might finally be time to tell the world what he wants.

It might be time to make a declaration.BUY LINKS
