It’s the Official Release Blitz Party for #OutOfLine–and a GIVEAWAY!

Blurb:
Desperate to break free…
I’ve spent my entire life under my father’s thumb, but now I’m finally free to make my own choices. When my roommate dragged me to my first college party, I met Finn Coram and my life turned inside out. He knows how to break the rules and is everything I never knew I wanted. A Marine by day and surfer by night, he pushes me away even as our attraction brings us closer. Now I am finally free to do whatever I want. I know what I want. I choose Finn.
Trying to play by the rules…
I always follow orders. My job, my life, depends on it. I thought this job would be easy, all the rules were made crystal clear, but when I met Carrie Wallington, everything got muddy. She’s a rule I know I shouldn’t break, but damn if I don’t inch closer to the breaking point each time I see her. I’m ready to step out of line. And even worse? I’m living a lie. They say the truth will set you free, but in my case…
The truth will cost me everything.

Synopsis
An up and comer trying to make a name for herself…
KYLIE never expected to be stuck on a tour bus with a pampered princess and her boyfriend’s ex.
A troubled artist struggling to hold onto his career…
TRACE thought he was finally getting to do things his way. Until the label added co-headliner Gretchen Gibson, the only person in country music with more issues than him, to his No Apologies tour.
Surrounded by tabloid rumors and people they can’t trust, Kylie and Trace need each other more than ever. But the choices they make will change everything.
Because chasing your dreams and following your heart don’t always lead you to the same place…
My review:
Oh my God. This book. I read the first book in the series (obviously, since Caisey Quinn is my CP partner) and I told her then that this series would be HUGE. I’m pleased to say I WAS RIGHT. THe first book was excellent. The second book? Even more so.
GIRL ON TOUR is a painfully accurate depiction of what is is like both to be addicted to something–and to be the person who LOVES a person addicted to something. It was fantastically written, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Now I’m dying to read GIRL IN LOVE–and you will be, too!

Goodreads Book Giveaway

Out of Line
by Jen McLaughlin
Giveaway ends September 01, 2013.
See the giveaway details
at Goodreads.
NEW #OutOfLine Twitter Contest!
*************CONTEST ALERT! CONTEST ALERT!********************
My New Adult book, Out Of Line, comes out on Tuesday, September 10th (Ack! So close! So close!) and I thought it would be fun to have a little giveaway/contest thing for ONE person to win an eBook version of Out Of Line before anyone else can read it!
It’s simple to play along. There’s two easy steps.
1. Add it to your Goodreads shelf (I’ll be checking this step!)
2. Tweet (AND TAG @DianeAlberts, you have to TAG ME) with a picture of a surfer who YOU think looks like Finn, the hero in the book. He’s 23, HAWT, has dark blonde hair, blue eyes, surfs, and has tattoos all over his muscular arms to his elbows. (though we can ignore the tattoos for ease of photos) Surfboard or beach/ocean is a must.
Add the book to Goodreads and tweet the photo with @DianeAlberts in the tweet, and you’re entered to win! I’ll get us started with one. (If you don’t have a Twitter account, you can leave a link to the picture below in the comments section)
Contest ends FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6th at eight in the morning, EST.
Here’s my discovery of Finn (minus the tattoos).

TAKE ME teaser #3 and a giveaway
Yep, the last book in the Take a Chance series is live! Want to see what the last one is all about? Then go forth and buy! And if you haven’t read the other books in the series, that’s okay! They are all stand-alone books that are about different (but related) couples!
Here’s the HAWT cover:
And the blurb:
Married in the morning…
Professional heartbreaker Mike Worth thrived on the chase—and dancer Morgan Collins represented the ultimate prize. But there was no way he was going to throw away his single-man status…not even for an elusive redhead with sparkling eyes and mile-long legs. So how did he let one drunken Vegas night end with I do instead of hell no?
Morgan’s life revolved around her career and she had no intention of letting a man interfere—even if Mike made her question all her rules about love. At his urging, she reluctantly agreed to give their spur-of–moment marriage a chance. But once their trial-honeymoon ended, would she choose to follow the dance and leave her unforgettable husband behind?
