Blurb:

Two strangers. Two broken hearts. One night to set each other free.
Almost dying from an undiagnosed heart condition means every second of your life is a precious gift to be guarded.Lena Pettitt was born a miracle.And her parents never let her forget it.Even if that daily reminder kept her from experiencing the one thing they were trying to protect most--her life.
Gabriel Martinez’s heart has been ripped out.His pride has been stomped on.Oh, and he now has an arrest record that’s caused an even bigger rift between him and his DA mother. All for a love that wasn’t really true.
Now he’s exiled to his grandmother’s, working on his late grandpa’s old Corvair when a shivering girl knocks on the garage door. Lena, left alone for the first time ever, has locked herself out of her house--in the snow. Gabe knows he could help this girl get back inside her house--but that may mean missing the next train to Boston to pick up the part he’s spent eight weeks tracking down. She can wait for him at his grandmother’s or…
A few hours, an aluminum valve cover, and some strong coffee later, neither Gabe or Lena can feign disappointment when they race to the station and arrive just as the last train home from Boston is pulling out.
As jaded as he is, Gabe can’t deny the fact that he’s excited to spend the night exploring a city he knows nearly every corner of, with a girl who sees magic in the simplest things.
Lena has been waiting for her tiny world to crack open her entire life. Now that it’s finally happened, she finds the only thing she can focus on is the unexpected tour guide who opens her eyes to possibilities she never imagined.
All they have is this one night, together, under the bright moon in a city full of hidden beauty.

It’s one night that will change how they see the world and the paths their hearts will take forever.




Excerpt“Gabriel.” Her voice
is sharp and wakes me up like a bad nightmare.I pull myself up to
sitting, touch my cheek, and wince at the pain.“Did…did someone hit
me?” I ask, working my jaw back and forth. It doesn’t feel good. “Did a cop hit
me?” I blink a few times, trying to put together the memory of what happened
before I took a solid right hook to the jaw.My mom scoffs.“The official report
says that another protester hit you, though I suppose it could’ve been a police
officer. I don’t want to hear another word about that though,” she says. Her
arms are folded tightly over her chest and she taps one shiny, black heel with
each clipped word.“I just—”“I told you to stay
away from her,” Mom says, then holds one hand up. “All of this could have been
avoided if you just would have listened to me and stayed away from her.”I don’t answer,
because I have no defense. This is the one time my mom has ever been right as
far as I’m concerned.“Never mind, we don’t
need to discuss that now. What we need to do is get you out of here. I’ve
already signed all of the paperwork,” she says. Don’t have to ask me
twice to leave the white cinderblock walls and the comfort of the matching
cement bench.“Thanks, Ma,” I say.She shakes her head.
“Oh, don’t you thank me, Gabriel. The man you punched—the man you assaulted at
that protest—he was a police officer.”

Author: Tillie Cole
Age group: Mature new adult
Genre: MC dark contemporary romance
Release date: 2nd December 2014
BLURBEven salvation can be delivered through the love of the damned…

Beauty can be a curse.

Faith can be a cage.

Only love can set you free.

A few long weeks after being reluctantly ripped from the comforting embrace of her sacred prophet’s religious commune—the only life she has ever known—a terrified Delilah is thrust into a world enveloped by evil and swimming in sin.

Steadfastly devout in her faith, and retaining the deep belief that her soul is innately tarnished as a branded ‘Cursed woman of Eve’, Delilah is determined to find her way home to her people in The Order and away from the corrupt and damned outlaw motorcycle club—The Hades Hangmen—who hold her at their secluded compound for her protection—a 'protection' she strongly resents.

Delilah yearns to return home, convinced that only amongst her own people, and under the holy guidance of the Lord’s revealed prophet, can her Satan-spawned soul be truly saved. Conditioned her entire life to believe she is a witch... a life-long temptress… the devil’s whore... Delilah increasingly resents her beautiful face, her shapely body and her sensuous effect on men. But when a man of the motorcycle club—a deeply sinful yet stunningly beautiful man—is charged with her care, Delilah begins to see that this dangerous and moralless sinner from the 'outside' may offer her something she did not know could truly exist: unconditional love.

Kyler ‘Ky’ Willis loves his life: a daily abundance of brotherhood, liquor, the freedom of the open-road and—best of all—his pick of hot women. Raised a biker brat and now VP of the most notorious MC in the States, Ky has no shortage of club sluts warming his bed; a situation he takes full advantage of… until a certain blonde enters his life… a gorgeous pilgrim-blonde he can’t get out of his head… a pilgrim-blonde he and his club recently-rescued from some backward religious cult… and a pilgrim-blonde he’s been ordered to keep the hell away from and his whorish hands off.

When yet another in a lengthy line of drunken blunders forces Ky to reluctantly take charge of the pilgrim-blonde’s care, he realizes that there could be more to this woman than just supermodel looks and a stacked set of tits. He begins to see that she could be the woman who could do the impossible—tame his wild ways and capture his reluctant heart.

But the unyielding bonds of Lilah’s past are strong, her ‘people’ determined and, with a new Prophet in charge and hell bent on revenge, they are mightily reluctant to let her go...



ABOUT TILLIE COLE Tillie Cole is a Northern girl through and through. She originates from a place called Teesside on that little but awesomely sunny (okay I exaggerate) Isle called Great Britain. She was brought up surrounded by her English rose mother — a farmer’s daughter, her crazy Scottish father, a savagely sarcastic sister and a multitude of rescue animals and horses.

Release Blitz: Mollywood

Title: Mollywood (Carved Hearts #2)Authors: L.G. Pace III & Michelle PaceGenre: Contemporary RomanceRelease Date: October 27,2014Covere Design: Wicked By Design
Synopsis"A good chef can throw seemingly random ingredients into a pot and create something delicious. On rare occasions, fate does the same thing with hearts. With the right combination of elements at just the right time, a couple can fall head over heels in love. That being said, blending two lives can get messier than any kitchen and also a hell of a lot harder to clean up."

Molly's food truck took Austin by storm, and she's got more prospects than she knows what to do with. Her crazy ex is out of the picture, and she's moved in with her gorgeous boyfriend, Joe. She and Joe rarely see one another, and when they do, their time is squandered arguing. Molly's anxious to break this cycle because the tension between them is literally making her sick.

After years alone and shattered, Molly has reawakened a part of Joe that he was sure couldn't be revived. He's terrified of losing her, but their combined baggage makes every step forward seem littered with landmines. Molly's more than worth the fight, but she shouldn't be the one he's constantly battling. A master carpenter by trade, Joe has restored countless treasures which seemed beyond repair. He's determined that he and Molly won't be the exception.

Fate kicks in the door and rocks them to their very foundation. Boundaries are tested, tears shed, and Molly and Joe will question everything they think they know about themselves and each other


Buy The Book Amazon US | Amazon UK | KOBOExcerptI found myself looking over at Joe’s perfect profile, and felt that familiar ache in my chest. Frustrated at our disjointed state and suddenly overwhelmed with emotion, I stopped in my tracks. Joe turned to face me, a perplexed expression marring his flawlessness. I placed my hands on both of his uncharacteristically smooth cheeks and looked him in the eye.

“I love you, Joe.” I felt my throat narrow painfully, and blinked away unexpected tears.

“I love you, too.” His frown deepened and he brushed my sweeping bangs away from my eyes. “What’s wrong, Molly?”

It was a good question and I wished I had a reasonable explanation. We’d come so far and been through so much, it seemed unfair that we couldn’t get it together long enough to enjoy any of it. I’d been wracking my brain for weeks to find the right thing to say, a verbal Band-Aid to slap over a hemorrhaging wound. It made me wish my love life could be as straightforward as my job.

A good chef can throw random ingredients into a pot and create something delicious. On rare occasions, fate does the same thing with hearts. With the right combination of elements at just the right time, a couple can fall head over heels in love. That being said, blending two lives can get messier than any kitchen and also a hell of a lot harder to clean up. I wasn’t usually such a bawl baby, but when it came to Joe, all bets were off. I was freaked out about “us” just then, and what we were becom- ing. I pulled his face down to meet mine and kissed his lips delicately, so he wouldn’t be covered in my lipstick all night.

“Let’s try to enjoy ourselves and talk about the ugly stuff afterwards. Okay?”

Purchase:Amazon | Barnes & Noble
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excerpt

Jennie filled the
glass and set it on the counter. She needed an ibuprofen.As she reached up
to the top shelf in the pantry, a vibration started in her chest. Holding the
white bottle in her hand, she turned around confused.Like a jet when it
flew too low, the rumble increased in intensity as it approached. Jennie
watched the glass tremble on the counter top for a moment before fear clenched
her stomach. “MOM!?”She rushed to the
sink and looked out the window, but her mother wasn’t in the garden any more.
Jennie barreled through the kitchen, the vibrations in her chest like bass on a
stereo. “MOM?” When Jennie
reached the back door, she saw them. Four large dog-like creatures with pinched
faces like bulldogs and lion-like manes. They snarled, and one of them leapt at
the window on the top half of the door when it saw her. Jennie jumped back and
fell hard on the cold tile floor. The bottle of painkiller bounced across the
kitchen tiles. The creature slammed against the window a second time, cracking
it. She blinked hard. Her heart sunk, and the hairs on her arms stood on end. A
horrendous gargling howl rent the air, causing a shiver down her spine. She
held her breath and waited for the creature to slam into the door again.“What on earth?”
she whispered to herself.When the third
attempt never came, she scrambled toward the door. Blinking hard, she used the
door knob to help herself stand. Out the cracked window, her mother was still
out of sight, but the last of the dogs headed across the field behind her
backyard.“MOM?” Jennie
called out. The rumbling
faded, and the vibrations in her chest receded with the dogs. She pulled open
the door and rushed onto their back deck. “Mom, where are you?” When she reached
the banister, she looked over the side. Her mom lay sprawled with one hand on
the lattice. Blood gushed from Mom’s leg and her opposite arm. Jennie’s ears
rang and flooded with every beat of her heart. Jennie didn’t know
how she got to the second floor of her house, but she found herself shaking her
sleeping father. How had he slept through the rumbling? “Outside, it’s Mom…”Her father leapt
from the bed. Mickey, her little brother, lay asleep and undisturbed. Dad ran
down the stairs and outside in his flannel pajama bottoms and white t-shirt. He
scooped Mom up to his chest and carried her inside. Blood stained his shirt in
crimson.“Jennie, call
911!”  Her father had said it at least
three times before it finally registered in her brain.She pulled the
cell phone from her pocket, but it refused to connect. With a groan, she
grabbed the cordless from the wall receiver, glad her heart stopped pounding in
her head so she could hear.“All operators are
busy at this time,” a mechanical voice deadpanned, “Please stay on the line,
and the next available operator will take your call.”“They have me on
hold, Dad. Should I hang up and try again?” She held the phone in both hands
away from her face.“No, just stay on
the line.” Her father lifted the shredded jeans from Mom’s leg. “It looks like
a shark bite. What on earth happened?”Jennie took in the
damage through tear-filled eyes. A huge chunk was taken from her mother’s calf,
exposing the fibrous tendons that covered the bone in her leg. A bloodstain
grew on the beige couch. Was she going to die? Panic rose up.“What happened,
Jennie?” “I...I...They
looked like lions, or dogs, or something. The rumbling shook the whole house…I
tried to go outside to get Mom, but—” A sob blocked her throat.Her father grabbed
a throw pillow and held it against the leg. Mom’s exposed forearm laid across
her chest in much the same condition as her calf.“Grab me the duct
tape.”Jennie suddenly
remembered the phone, put it back to her ear, and headed to the hall closet.
She reached for the shelf above the jackets and grabbed the junk basket next to
the toolbox.“Please stay on
the line. An operator will be with you shortly.” She shoved the
phone in the crook of her neck and fished through the box.  Half the contents dropped around her feet. Who cares? When her fingers wrapped
around the silver duct tape, a short-lived relief sent prickles down her arms.
But the urgency gripped her chest in less than a heart beat, and she threw the
junk basket on the ground with the rest of the items. “Hurry, Jennie!”
her father called from the living room. “And turn on the TV. Maybe they’ll have
something about what’s going on.”She handed her
father the tape and turned toward the TV. The mechanical voice on the phone
came through again, followed by more easy listening.When she clicked
on the TV, the shouting and wailing began before the picture warmed up on the
screen. A sideways picture of New York
City broke through, with the shaky voice of the
newscaster voicing over.“What we are
watching now – I can’t believe it – is live footage of Times
Square,” the newscaster’s voice paused for a deep breath. “We’ve
lost our man on the scene and his camera man to what appears to be some kind of
new alien creature. Just a short half-hour ago, the doors to the ship that
hovered above Central Park opened and these
dog-like creatures flooded out.”Jennie couldn’t
pull her eyes from the screen. She straightened and dropped the phone on the
hardwood. The battery popped out and skidded across the floor.

Title: High Stakes (The Kingdom, #2)Author: Nikki GroomRelease Date: October 24, 2014Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance

Blurb“Stupid. Beautiful. Girl.

How did you ever think you could be free?”



The last words I heard before the darkness took me and my dreams were shattered.



I was on my way to having it all.

Friends, family and a future.

Everything I had wished for but never thought possible.



Denham King showed me just how good life could be. A life where love and happiness were within reach.



Almost.



I should have known it would never last.

My past is a dark, damp cloud, that has seeped into my skin and left a cold promise.

A promise of hurt and pain.

A promise of a long, hard fight, where the stakes are high and the risks threaten lives.



When your world gets thrown in all directions, and your dreams for the future are torn from your grasp; how do you go on?



Can I fight the demons that haunt me?

Can love save me from fate’s cruel path?








Excerpt“Arianna, dear. It’s nice to see you again.” Amy pushes past my shoulder, inviting herself in and taking ownership of the air around us. “Although, I wasn’t expecting to see so much,” she sneers, letting her eyes drift down the length of my legs.


I stand tall, trying not to be intimidated by her, trying to stand my ground in my apartment, but instantly feeling threatened by the way her body reacts to me, and the way her gaze makes me feel cold and uncomfortable.


She lifts her hand toward me, and tucks a long, red, predatory nail under the collar of the white shirt I am wearing, lifting it between her fingertips and gently brushing against my collarbone through the fabric as she does. It sends chills through me. She’s cold. Her aura, her demeanor, and her intentions are all icy and it radiates from her in steady pulses.


“I bet he likes you in this. I bet he asked you to wear it, am I wrong?”


Of course, she’s not wrong. She’s pretty much as correct as can fucking be. I swallow hard. Shards of her persona stick into me like little icy pins. Her words, like little needles of reality, stab into my veins. She knows him better than I do. She knows what he likes, and what he doesn’t. Has he asked her to wear his shirt for him?

Has he told her to dress in nothing but heels and diamonds for him?
The thoughts make me feel sick. But, I know that she’s playing me. I've seen Denham’s reaction to her. I’ve seen the contempt in his eyes when her name is mentioned, and I’ve felt the tension radiate from him when he encounters her. She’s a bitch. Pure and simple.

Review: Finished

Finished by Claire Kent: For the last year, Julia has lived with two men.

Drayton is hot and mysterious, and Mike takes care of her. Together, they have great sex and a mostly stable relationship—one Julia thought satisfied her. After all, how can she complain about having two sexy men at the same time?

Then everything starts to change. Drayton is keeping a dark secret that threatens more than their arrangement. It might actually threaten their lives. And Mike keeps becoming more alpha than she’s ever known him to be.

What once was fun and casual is now a tangle of conflicting desires. Drayton wants to keep his freedom. Julia wants a real commitment.

And Mike…well, Mike just wants her.
Teri Lyn's thoughts: Claire Kent wrote an interesting story about three people based on the conventions of unconventional love. Three people working together in a relationship to all be together satisfying what each of them needs laced with intrigue and mystery along the way. The erotic story of Julia, Mike, and Drayton tangles a web none of them saw coming.

This tale of erotica entertained me throughout and I did enjoy it. It started off really hot with Mike and Julia then enters Drayton and the steam gets off the charts. Throughout the story the reader gets a bird’s eye view from Julia working towards an understanding of the relationship she’s in and what she wants from it.

The subplots working through the story engaged me. There was mystery and intrigue throughout especially surrounding the enigmatic Drayton. Half-truths become lies than truths again. Hurt becomes evident. All three of these characters inflict and receive emotional pain from each other while trying to balance the delicacy of their situation with the delicacy of their individual emotions.

Finished rates at 3 stars for me for a couple of reasons. When reading a ménage story I’m expecting lots of steam. And while the steam was steamy I felt a lack of connection between the three and at certain points was expecting more. I was waiting for the all the “feels” and didn’t get them. The characters were a bit under developed for me. Only Drayton’s past was understood. We know how they got to where they are in the relationship but not what motivated them. The conflict and resolution felt a bit underwhelming, as well because as much as I enjoyed the plot I was waiting for something bigger.

Those things I’ve mentioned should in no way deter you from reading Finished. It’s an entertaining story flowing naturally with characters you’ll want to see a satisfying end from the very beginning. It’s one those reads easy for a lazy day of reading on the couch. As Finished stands as my first Claire Kent book I wouldn’t hesitate in reading this author again based on her entertaining writing style and engaging dialogue.

“Senior year girls!”  Becca said holding up her red plastic cup full of cold, frothy beer.“Senior year!”  Marissa Lou, Katie and Jess said in unison holding up their plastic cups as well to meet Becca’s before all four girls tipped their cups back and swallowed the liquid inside.“This is going to be the best year ever,” Becca said smiling mischievously.  “We are going to rule the school.”“As if we don’t already,” Marissa Lou said, raising a perfectly shaped eyebrow at her.“True, true, but this year is different.  This is our last year of high school.  No more waking up early, no more homework, and no more school!”“You do know that there is a thing called college right?  And guess what, it starts up right after high school ends,” Katie asked.  “Not only that, but there is also something called a job.  A place where, most of the time, you have to wake up early and slave all day.  I hear it’s a lot like school but at least you get paid for it.  Oh, but then, most people have to start paying their own bills so you’d basically be working to live.”  Katie and Marissa Lou smirked at the look on Becca’s face.“The horror,” Marissa Lou said with a shiver.“Whatever!  You know what I mean.”“I do,” Jess said sympathetically.“Thank you Jess, at least one of you has a brain.” The girls had a good laugh for a few minutes before the night grew quiet, which wasn’t usual when the boisterous girls were all together.  Each stared into the bonfire, ignoring the rest of the party goers around them, thinking about the school year to come.  They all knew Becca was right.  This would be their last year of high school together.  Kids usually hated school because of all the work it took, but most kids thrived on it and the social interaction it gave them.  This group of girls were no different.  Next year everything would change.  Some in the group may even go in a different direction, to college and what-not, like Katie who always talked about leaving the small confines of their hometown for a bigger life.  Everyone was rooting for her, but they all knew how hard it would be when that day actually came.  Katie and Jess had been best friends since birth, long before Marissa Lou came into the picture when they started middle school, and later Becca made her grand entrance when they started high school.  The foursome had been inseparable since.  The thought of not having their everyday interaction was daunting.“To senior year,” Marissa Lou said sadly, while the other girls continued to stare into the fire.
