Check out the cover, blurb & small teaser!

At the Edge of Darkness

After a tragic accident, Araya Noel is left with a constant reminder that nothing is forever.

Instead of dwelling over her loss, she plays the hand she's been dealt without complaint. In a world as black as hers, there's no room for bitterness, no time for regret. Sheltered from the outside world, Araya has become suffocated by a life she has no control over. Until Ryland Dare comes crashing into her life.

You don’t know true darkness until you've felt the light…

Like a firecracker, showering her with colorful sparks of freedom, Ryland quickly sweeps Araya away from her dark existence. For the first time since the accident, living in darkness is no longer something Araya wants to do willingly. Unleashed by the shadows of her reminder, being with Ryland, Araya touches light. Together they will learn what it’s like to be alive for the first time.

At the edge of darkness, a ray of light, will dare them both to live.

Cover Love - Cambria Hebert

 COVER REVEAL!!

So I am excited for this cover reveal for the Heven & Hell series by a fabulous author and a really amazingly, sweet friend - Cambria Hebert! Psst - Plus, isn't she gorgeous?!  hehe >
The Heven & Hell series is SO good and I am so excited for Cambria's newest addition. So on to the good stuff!






BEAUTIFUL!!

BeneathHeven and Hell #3.5Where I came from everything is perfect. Everything is beautiful and predictable. Life isn’t measured by days, but by infinite joy that never ends.But it did.When I fell in love with a man who was perfectly imperfect. The price for forbidden affection was steep and my beautiful white wings withered and died around me. I was fallen. I amfallen.Years have passed, and I’ve learned the true meaning of time. I’ve learned to build a wall around myself and exist alone. Yet, when he looks at me… the heart beneath my armor trembles.But I must remember.I must remember that I might not have anything left to lose, but he certainly does. And risking him is something I won’t do. So I lock my feelings where they belong.Beneath.




Now while Cambria is a great friend, I never claimed to be the best :/ I feel horrible about posting this SO late, but hopefully Cam will forgive me! Aside from the Heven & Hell Series, Cambria Hebert has a BRAND NEW series out, Death Escorts, and the first book is - Recalled. I absolutely LOVED this book and the cover it simply amazing!! It's totally different than H&H, but in a good way! I read it super fast, I couldn't put it down. It made me laugh, awe, & cry & left me waiting for book 2 in the series! If you haven't read - GO. READ. NOW!

Love or Death? A simple question really. The choice seems obvious. But. What if you never knew love, what if your life was spent just trying to survive? What if you knew your fate before you were fully grown? And then you died. And you were given another chance. A better chance. This new life depended upon one thing: your job. And so you agreed. You thought it would be simple. You thought it would be cut and dry. It never is.And now you are left holding the fate of someone else in the palm of your hand and you have to make the ultimate choice.Love or Death?












“Proposition - An offer of a private bargain. A plan suggested for acceptance; a proposal.”
“Opportunity would be abundant and you could create a whole new identity for yourself.”I was tempted sure, but still something kept me from accepting right away. “What’s the catch?”There was always a catch.“In return for your life, your new and improved life, you would come and work for me.”“Doing what?”“You will be an Escort.”On the streets another name for Escort was a prostitute. “I don’t think I would look good in a dress and heels.”“You joke. You’re funny.” Mr. Burns said, smiling. “Not that kind of Escort. This is more exclusive. More important.”“So what exactly will I be Escorting?” I asked more confused than before.Mr. Burns looked at me, his little beady eyes gleamed with excitement and he smiled, causing his cheekbones to jut outward. “Death. You will be a Death Escort.”
And if you need anymore evidance that this is a book you should be reading, here is the book trailer!!

Allure Cover Reveal!!!!

So I am forever excited for this cover reveal!! I am extremely happy with the way it came out and I think it is absolutely GORGEOUS!! Regina Wamba at Mae I Design is an absolute GENIUS!! Thank you so much for bringing my vision to life G - I heart you forever!! And now for the Allure cover!!

A few things about Allure - it is a NEW series, I am hard at work on the second book in the Flutter, Discover Series, but Allure is not apart of that! It is, for now, a NA Romance with strong Fantasy Elements. I have an expected release date of March 30th, but that could easily change! Below is the blurb, cover, full wrap and a little snippet from the book. I hope you enjoy!



Temptation. Desire. Deception. 

Everything about her is enthralling, enticing… until everything about her becomes deadly.
Alluring you into the center of her world, she’ll deprive you of reason, breath… life. And because you can’t help it, you’ll let her, and death never felt so good.
There is only one rule where she is from: Don’t become attached to your Allure, and Ryleigh has already broken that rule.
The decision to stay was easy, but being ready to handle everything that comes with her choice, is more then she bargained for when suddenly something unexpected happens. Ryleigh is thrown into a world she knows nothing about, and a past she can’t remember. Time is not Ryleigh’s only enemy, but the lack of it, will be the end of her immortality if she doesn’t remember what she is or the life she needs to take.
When the cost of immortality means consuming the life of someone you love, could you do it?! 

Excerpt from Allure:

Hey body against mine was like a burst of sparks igniting, and I wanted to explore every inch of her exposed skin like she had mine. The flash of panic that swirled inside her hazel eyes was the only thing that stopped me.“Are you scared?” I asked.My free hand moved to her neck, searching for the pulse I was hoping was raging wildly. My fingers curled around the back of her neck and I stroked the soft skin there. I had never felt skin so soft before, I was distracted by the silk under my fingertips, but when my thumb brushed over the point on her neck where I should have felt the proof of life, I frowned. I applied more pressure, not enough to hurt her, just enough to find what I was looking for. I found nothing.“What the hell…”My eyes grew wide, and I fell back a step, dumbfound. Her hand caught my elbow as I attempted to move away from her, and her fingers traced firm lines down my arm, before encircling my wrist. She tugged me toward her. I should have been stronger. My six feet, two inch, athletic, frame, should have claimed rightful dominance over her tiny figure, but I felt that same warm sensation moving up my arm, she was pulling me toward her again. Losing myself in her ensnaring gaze, I was being drawn to her again.


Full wrap

 
I hope you enjoyed the little preview! Thank you so much for everyone who helped and shared the Allure cover!!

About the Leslie Dover

I am an avid reader that loves my collection of books. Writing has always been a passion of mine and now I am glad I get to share my passion with the world. I live in North Carolina with my husband and two beautiful girls.  I absolutely love being a southern girl. I spent several years in college starting out with a major in Psychology and then switching to dental. I worked in the dental field for eight years and then decided to stay home with my two beautiful girls. I spent the beginning of my reading years reading suspense thrillers, but now I can't get away from the paranormal/fantasy books. I knew ever since then that if I wrote anything it would be in a paranormal aspect. Now that I have started on my passion and began writing, you will not see me go anywhere without a notebook and pen.





Congrats Leslie!!
   

Cover Reveal - Ashley Lavering!

Star CursedSecond Book in the Curse of the Beast SeriesBy Ashley Lavering

Book Description:Chel finished tying me to the chair and stood. “This is crazy.”I ignored her comment. “Go down to the basement.”“Now, I know you’ve lost it.” She folded her arms. “How will this prove that your giant dog is the hot guy that got in your van?”“I’ll explain later. Just trust me.” One of her eyebrows rose. “Please?” I waited for her to nod. “Once you’re down there, I want you to whisper something. Then come back up.”“Whatever.” With an eye roll, she left the room. I focused on her feet thumping against the wood stairs and heard the change when they slapped across the tiled kitchen floor. Once the basement door closed, I strained to hear her, but all I caught was a beetle scuttling across the kitchen. Nerves tangled in my gut. Had I missed it? “If this doesn’t work, I’m calling the loony bin, Tay.” Chel’s voice rang so loud that I jerked back, toppling the chair. I hit the floor with a thud. Beast’s airy chortle resonated from outside the window. “Shut up. This isn’t funny,” I told him. Chel walked through the door. “Geeze, what happened?” She hurried to me. “Are you okay?” She righted my chair with a grunt. “That depends.”“On?” She cocked an eyebrow at me.   “On whether or not you’re going to untie me.”“Oh my gosh. I’m so sorry.” She scrambled to untie the knots. My hands slipped free and I rubbed my bruised arm. “What kind of friend are you?”“What?” She startled. I shook my head at her. “I can’t believe you’d commit me.”“Wait, you heard that?” Her eyes widened.I repeated it word for word.“Whoa, that’s, like, creepy and awesome at the same time. But I still don’t understand how this proves your dog is a werewolf.”The dreaded moment had arrived and nerves attacked my stomach. “Because, Chel—he bit me.”
Seventeen-year-old Tayla will never forget Beast’s fiery-venom spreading through her body like an infection. Now, with her best friend Chel’s help, she must find a human true love before the last petal falls from her enchanted rose or the full moon will transform her into a wolf forever. But Tayla never expected that her biggest obstacle would come from inside—a wolf presence threatening to take her very soul. At every turn, the she-wolf exploits Tayla’s weaknesses and gains enough control to sabotage her dates. Tayla struggles to control her unruly wolf and her forbidden attraction to Beast. But can she resist his southern charm, the she-wolf’s attraction to his alluring scent, and still fall in love with a human?Tangled in a web of wills, Tayla must risk everything to break the Curse of the Beast. With failure and possible death looming overhead, Tayla will do anything to find true love. But will one moon cycle be long enough to conquer her wolf and remain human? Or will she become a permanent member of Beast’s pack? Find out in the second installment in the Curse of the Beast series.

Touching Eternity Blog Tour!

Today I am hosting the tour stop for Airicka Phoenix, and her upcoming release, Touching Eternity! Don't forget to check out, Touching Smoke, if you haven't yet! Congrats Airicka Phoenix!

Now on to the good stuff...


[image error] What would you choose?
She had everything but freedom.
He had nothing but his loyalty, his wits and his training.
She was a prisoner, a disease, not fit for the world, and she didn't know why. But she did know she wasn't allowed to die, she wasn't allowed to live and she wasn’t sane.
He was a soldier, a protector, but his foundation will be tested when he must destroy the only light in his dark world.
Thrown together, prisoner and keeper, their rebellion will splinter through time, changing the course of history and the fate of the world. Their love will challenge their greatest enemy and immortalize them forever.
Loyalty. Freedom. Love.
What would you risk?
"Let me die."
Pain darkened his eyes. "Never."


About the Author!Airicka Phoenix is the author of TOUCHING SMOKE (Touch Book #1), TOUCHING ETERNITY (Touch 1.5), TORRID, a short story as part of the Whispered Beginnings: A Clever Fiction Anthology and WANTING & INTENTIONS, two stories as part of the Midnight Surrender Anthology. When she's not hammering away at the keyboard, she can be found banishing pirates or crawling through the attic looking for lost treasure with her kids. She loves baking, gardening and reading. She also likes to travel and take pictures of everything she comes across. When asked, Airicka describes herself as a sarcastic basket case that has an unhealthy addiction to chocolate, old movies and really bad jokes. She loves to laugh, make friends and write. If she could have one wish granted, it would be to spend one day as a fly-on-the-wall inside Stephen King's mind. If she could have two wishes granted, she would ask for a castle dedicated entirely to her overwhelming collection of books.

Cover reveal for K Anne Raines, debut release!!
Check it out!


Seventeen year-old Grace grows up knowing she’s different, but she always attributed it to a mother who didn’t want her, a father who abandoned her, and a curse that sets her apart. Despite those struggles, her grandfather remained her rock and confidant. Her life irrevocably shatters the day her grandfather dies.

The day of his funeral sets off a chain of events, making Grace question everything she’s ever known to be true, and as a result, who she can truly trust. She inherits his house, part of his money, his Guardian and something that ties them together.

Just before Grace’s 18th birthday, she is thrust into a world she couldn’t fathom existed and does everything she can to thwart the destiny suddenly forced upon her. She’s been chosen for greatness, but at what cost? With eyes now open, she must choose to either be Chosen, or watch those around her suffer the consequences.

Torn between the man who’s come to protect her and the one sent to destroy her, she teeters on the edge of decision, trying to come to grips with who she is, what she wants and what all of that means for her, those she loves and the rest of mankind.

Cover Reveal - Ella James!

So I'm super excited to do the cover reveal for Ella James upcoming release Trapped!
I'm currently reading Stained, so i can't wait to read Here and then Trapped!!
Check it out below!

Trapped is book two in the Here Trilogy (YA Sci-Fi Romance)Release Date: December 2012

(CONTAINS SPOILERS - DO NOT READ BEFORE READING HERE):When Milo Mitchell falls for the beautiful, tuxedo-clad guy she found wandering her family's rural Colorado property, she never dreamed he was a scout from another galaxy, or that their relationship would leave him with an impossible choice: eradicating humankind, or initiating the end of his own people. 
Nick's job is finding the elements his people need to power their elaborate interweb of minds. Being a scout means he is capable of traveling to other planets on his own. It also means that, unlike The Rest, he has access to primitive feelings and individual desires. For eons, he was part of the whole, but when he encountered Milo, his obsession with her changed everything.
Nick's partner, Vera, is capable of independent thought, but not compelled by it. She is satisfied with her existence as one of The Rest, and she won't agree that humans are worth sparing; not when their planet has a precious cache of the gold her people need so badly. 
While Vera tries to force Nick into endorsing an Earth invasion, working behind the scenes to tie his hands, and the Department of Defense lays a trap for them with Milo's mom as bait, Nick and Milo are waging their own war - against a primal desire that can only lead to one thing: heartbreak. I can't WAIT to read this series! Congrats Ella!  Want to stalk the fabulous Ella James?? Well I've made it easy for you too!
