Blog Tour & Giveaway: Until You Came Along

Until You Came Alongby KshitijRelease Date: December 21st 2015
Summary:
People never change; they only become more or less of who they really are…
Just as mysteriously as Alyssa appeared in Estella’s life she disappeared. Who was Alyssa, really?  For all their years of friendship in college, Estella has no idea why Alyssa left without saying goodbye after graduation.  Now, after all these years, Alyssa leaves a recording on Estella’s voicemail –an RSVP to their college reunion! Trembling with delight and dread, Estella has only one question:  Why?
Alyssa has been searching for something all her life—her future. She believes in nothing but success and winning. Manipulative, wilful, emotionally cold is the best way she can describe herself.  To the world and her college mates, she’s glamorous, confident and has life on a silver platter—men dream of having her and women dream of being her!  But Alyssa is blind to everything except success… until she meets Kurt, a dreamy exchange student, who challenges everything she believes, while his touch runs through her body like the sweetest flame, making her want things she knows she shouldn’t have!  Kurt wants her heart and that’s the one thing Alyssa can’t give him.
Through seven years of silence, Estella and Alyssa discover life is ever changing—just as their perception of themselves…yet, how could they ever know tragedy and joy are from the same tears of life?

The Burning Offer
Aubrey Parker
(Trevor’s Harem, #1)
Publication date: February 2nd 2016
Genres: New Adult, Romance

The anonymous invitation that someone slipped under my door promises $1,000. Just for meeting a man downtown, in a public place, no questions asked.
I can make more than I ever imagined if I agree to take part in a competition.
Just get into the limousine. Just get on the private plane. Just fly to an airstrip at the foot of the largest, most luxurious estate I’ve ever seen. Just stay the first night, then another. Tell no one where I’ve gone, or why.
Everything in me screams to run away.
The rules say I can leave whenever I want.
So why am I still here?

Goodreads / AmazonEXCERPT:“As I’m sure you’ve figured out,” Daniel says, “you’re here for a competition. You’ve probably also predicted some of the nature of this contest, though I assure you, you could not have predicted it all. Some of you have, quite separately, decided to mingle with these three fine young men here and with each other. That is, of course, your business. Not something we’ve asked or requested in any way.”
Some of the girls look at each other, and even though I don’t want to, I find my eyes turning toward Erin’s. She still won’t look at me. It’s the oddest thing. She and Jessica don’t strike me like the others do, though it’s possible that’s only because the three of us are the newest. But I’d swear, we seem like three peas in a pod. Girls who aren’t right for this scene, even if Erin proved me wrong. Maybe that’s why she’s looking away — because she thinks I’m judging her. It’s also possible, given what happened and the way she looked at me back in my room, that she’s interested in me the way she was in Tony.
Still, something is wrong here. Something I’m missing.
Daniel has paused for a few meaningful seconds. I know what he’s doing —reminding them all that just because some billionaire invited them over and they decided to start screwing around with each other, there was and won’t be any coercion. I’d guess it’s also drawing the first of many lines between the contestants: those who were proactive enough to act early, those who abstained, and those who got their rocks off because they were horny — all contest considerations aside.
My mind flashes back to the mind games Daniel played with me when we met. Games at the website on the card included with my invitation. The survey. The interview. Little things, like Daniel tricking me into admissions I didn’t want to make.
“If your guesses about this competition in any way make you uncomfortable,” Daniel continues, “I’ll ask you to let us know now. I’ll have one of our pilots fly you back the second you’re ready to go, and we will pay you five thousand dollars for leaving.”
He looks around the room. His eyes stop on me for a fraction of a second too long, and a few more heads turn before he moves on.
Five thousand isn’t enough.
Come hell or high water, I’ll stay until morning.
“By staying past the end of this sentence,” Daniel says, “you are waiving your right to any action against anyone here barring overt criminal behavior, as stipulated in the contract you signed earlier.”
My brow furrows. Contract? I didn’t sign any contract.
He pauses again.
“Perfect,” Daniel says when no one objects.
He turns to Trevor, who again stands. The two men nod mutual thanks, and Daniel sits in his chair beside the throne.
“I guess I’ll take it from here,” Trevor says, smiling down at Daniel, “since I’m the one looking for a bride.”

Author Bio:
I love to write stories with characters that feel real enough to friend on Facebook, or slap across the face. I write to make you feel, think, and burn with the thrill that can only come from getting lost in the pages. I love to write unforgettable characters who wrestle with life's largest problems. My books may always end with a Happily Ever After, but there will always be drama on the way there.

Book Review: Until I'm Yours

Until I'm Yours (The Bennetts #4)
by Kennedy Ryan

The world knows her face . . .

Mean girl. Goddess. Bitch. Supermodel Sofie Baston has earned those labels . . . yet they don't scratch the surface of who she really is. Before she can follow her own dreams, Sophie must do her daughterly duty and reel in a "fish" for her father's business-a tall, brown-eyed entrepreneur who immediately hooks her. He's a big guy with an even bigger heart . . . but will that heart be open to Sofie once her darkest secret is revealed?

. . . but only one man knows her heart

To Trevor Bishop, Sofie is a beautiful mystery he would gladly spend his life solving. He figures her tough demeanor is armor against a world that's hurt her too many times. Then Sofie's deepest wounds are reopened by the powerful, ruthless man who made them. When she musters the courage to take him down, her world shatters. Now Trevor is determined to help Sofie pick up the pieces so they can build a future together. The challenge will be convincing his ice princess that it's safe to melt in his arms . . .
TeriLyn's thoughts: **Until I'm Yours generously provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.**

I've followed The Bennetts series from the very beginning so it's with great conviction I state Until I'm Yours is my absolute favorite of the series without question and who really knew after knowing what I knew coming into this story. This contemporary romance told from the alternating, first person points of view of both hero and heroine provides lush story telling so full of rich descriptors, metaphors, and connotations. With two characters unlikely to ever to find each other, a cat and mouse game ensues where both hero and heroine are the unchallenged predators embarking on the challenge of a lifetime. Until I'm Yours will make you laugh and cry, it breaks you apart and heals you all at once.

Kennedy Ryan masters the art of letting her readers in the secret without ever saying the secret aloud. It's a beautiful thing to feel the dread, contempt, and longing for a sliver hope about a long-buried secret right along with the character but never fully know until said character is ready to reveal. It's a certain magic of Ryan's rich writing, how she draws you into the story twisting your preconceived notions and making you FEEL EVERYTHING from the very first word.

I have never read a hero and heroine the likes of Trevor Bishop and Sofie Baston. Ever. One you immediately fall in love with, the other makes it really hard for you to fall but once you take the plunge it's a fall so worth the wait. Two people who's intimacy is truly unmatched when it comes one another. They want all of each other, something only one was prepared for in life while the other other didn't know that kind of intimacy existed.

"Everyone has a story." Kennedy Ryan made this true for Sofie Baston in the most profound, distinct way. A gorgeous supermodel, hardened by her upbringing and habitat, showing the world only exactly what she wants. Totally in control whether the consequences of that control are helpful or harmful to her reputation. She's course, crass, and makes no apologies for who she is or what's she's done. Pure brutal honesty comes from Sofie to the point you'll find beauty in her hardness, in her ingrained cynicism. This outward attitude just so happens to be completely reflective of an even more profound inner bravado that when unleashed the potential of that strength she leaves dormant will make her untouchable. There's a protectiveness in her that she doesn't quite yet understand. She's beyond strong and that strength shines through brilliantly when Trevor Bishop casts his light on her, empowering her, believing in her.

And Trevor Bishop? A feminist, an alpha, an intelligent man with a passion, a man who wants a deep, meaningful connection who will stop at nothing to get what he craves because he believes in what he sees inside of Sofie. No other person has believed in Sofie until now. He's so intelligent and passionate and GOOD he fuels something stagnant in others by encouraging them to better themselves. As an admitted apathetic to certain social, world politics Trevor's passion for it sparks something in me - a true testament and mark of intelligence and awareness in Ms. Ryan's gorgeous writing. And while Trevor sparks this in readers it's his challenge of Sofie, his dare for her to expand on that strength and prove to the world she's more than the superficial they believe makes her a formidable woman. Makes him the ultimate romantic. His character is light and funny. He's a creature so foreign to Sofie and he knows it which plays right into his allure. He makes want you want to believe in true, honest-to-goodness love and the flame that love stokes inside you. From the very beginning, Trevor is empowering. He believes and takes action.

This book reaches depths so low for these characters, a low you'll feel down to your soul thanks to Kennedy's amazing writing. The metaphors and descriptions highlighting their romance make the book so rich in words. The high from this is unlike any other reading experience I've had.

There's an immediate urgency to the relationship between Sofie and Trevor stemming from an instant, undeniable attraction. That urgency is a craving I believe all of us romance readers wants from love stories. This urgency to seek each other is brilliantly juxtaposed with a slow, almost torturous build to something strong, lasting, and beautiful. Kennedy Ryan exploits that urgency creating a brilliant, smart, and entertaining story with her beautifully stylistic descriptions; vividly painting the picture as though I watched the story play out live. Having followed the series from the beginning it was great to see the past from Sofie's point of view, awesome to see her conversations with Walsh and Kerris and so gratifying to see where she's come from versus where she'll go. And Trevor's character brings new secondaries to the story that also enhance the experience.

The results of my reading Until I'm Yours have me convinced Kennedy Ryan's magical writing is a step above the rest. For me, this is her BEST BOOK to date. Full of substance, intelligence, wit, critical thinking, character development, and beautiful romance - so profound I am moved by this incredible story. I went back immediately and re-read highlighted passages until I finally read the last 30% all over again. Yes, emotionally moved. This story is one of my favorite contemporary romance books I have ever read thanks to it's uniqueness and rich, meaningful writing. If you haven't yet experienced the storytelling of Kennedy Ryan, I implore you to do so.

**NOTE**Until I'm Yours is book four of a series. You do meet Sofie in previous books but it is not necessary to read the series before reading this book. The author does a great job of providing the back story so you get the full picture. With that said, the series is a great one and Kennedy Ryan's writing develops so gracefully over the course of it that you'd gain great pleasure from all the books.

Illicit Desires
Rose B. Mashal
Publication date: January 27th 2016
Genres: Erotica, Romance

Her smiles brought my own to life. Her beautiful face was what made me get out of bed every morning. Looking into her eyes was my favorite part of the day.
She was in my every thought, in every passing second.
My lips craved her lips, and my hands yearned to touch her beautiful skin. My heart called out her name with every beat, and I only had eyes for her.
Her. My life, my soul, my personal Heaven-on-Earth.
She was everything I had ever wanted, but everything I could never have.
She was my flesh and blood.
She was my sister.

Goodreads / AmazonPROLOGUE:AdrianMy heart started beating fast as I saw her coming down the stairs. Wearing her white, strapless sundress, with her hair down caressing her shoulders, she looked like an angel.Her green eyes caught mine, and I saw the sadness filling them. She masked it right away, replacing it with a furious stare—trying to tell me that she was mad at me for what I did with her a while ago in her room.Well, she could fool anyone else she wanted, but not me. She liked it, and I fucking knew it.The hem of her short dress danced along her upper thighs as she took one hurried step after another. Ignoring her angry look, I licked my lips, knowing that it would make her look away because she wouldn’t want me to see the need in her eyes.And that was exactly what she did. But she was helpless against the redness of the blush which covered her face and neck as she passed me.“Daddy?” she began as she approached our father, who was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking his coffee while he read the newspaper.“Hmm?” He looked up from the papers in his hand, facing her.“I… Um, I want to talk with you about something,” she said, looking at the floor—her blush growing more intense.“Sure. What is it?”“I…Uh, I…” As Lily stood there, hesitant to say what she wanted to say, she looked at our mom, who was sitting at the table across from where Lily was standing. She even caught my eyes for a quick second, but then looked down right away.“Do you want to go into my office, Lily?” he asked, placing the paper on the table.“Uh, no… It’s fine. I just… Uh, well, I’m going to graduate soon, and … uh, there is that guy in my school—” Fucking what? “H—he asked me out more than one time and … uh, I want to say yes.”“Lily, sweetheart, we’ve talked about this before, and you know the rule,” he said in his calm voice.“But, Dad, I’m almost eighteen; I’m not a little girl anymore. I’m the only one my age who’s not allowed to date!”“Lily, I—”“Dave,” Mom interrupted, “I think Lily is mature enough to make good decisions.”Fuck that, she doesn’t know shit.“But, Beth, she’s not even eighteen yet.”“Honey, it’s just a matter of a few months before she leaves for college. It’s better that she starts dating now and learns more about the kind of relationship she wants before she starts a new phase in her life. Don’t you think?”My blood started to boil in my veins. My own mother was convincing my dad with logic. Now he was actually thinking about it. I didn’t want him to fucking think about it; I want him to say a clear no.“Sweetheart, I don’t think it’s—”“Please, Dad. Even Adrian is allowed to date, and we’re the same age. It’s not fair,” She pointed in my direction without looking.“I’m older!” I called out, correcting her.“By ten minutes, asshole!” she yelled back at me.“Language, Lillian,” Mom warned.“Sorry.”I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! They were actually considering this bullshit? I had to set my glass of orange juice down on the table so I didn’t end up throwing it at one of them.“The only reason I don’t want you to date is that you’re so innocent, and I don’t want someone to break your heart, sweetie.”Or break your fucking hymen.“I’m old enough to know how to choose, and I’m mature enough to face the responsibilities of my choices, Dad.”My Dad let out a long sigh, and then I saw the hint of a smile forming on his lips.No! No! No! No fucking way. Come on!“Okay.”“So… That’s a yes?”“Yes, Lily, you can say yes.” He smiled.Fuck! A million fucking fucks!“Thanks, Dad. You’re awesome.” She bent down and placed a kiss on his cheek.“You’re welcome, sweetie. “She did the same with Mom. “Thanks, Mom.” She walked over and stood right in front of me. She was so close I could smell her soft peach shampoo as she leaned in a little bit, picking my glass up off the small table.“I’ll take that if you don’t want it,” she smiled softly, not waiting for me to reply as she took a sip without taking her eyes off of mine. I’m sure that the green in them was replaced with the darkness of my anger.I only snarled at her.She leaned forward again, her lips just an inch away from my face. She was so close I could feel her warm breath on my cheek. It took everything in me not to moan.“I win, Dear Brother, “she whispered and then touched her soft lips to my cheek. Fuck!She thought she was going to date now that she had permission?She thought that she’d go out with a guy and kiss and hug and fuck?She thought I’d ever allow anyone to touch what was mine?No fucking way in hell!When she was about to back off after kissing me, I gripped her forearm and whispered back. “Over my dead body, little sister.“

About DARE ME:

Five coworkers.

Four drinks.

Three glances.

Two fleeting smiles.

One dare.

A dare that will change my life.

That’s all it takes to send me plummeting into the arms of the mysterious Holt Hamilton. Behind his crystal blue eyes is a secret, one that screams danger but calls to me anyway.

My name is Saige Phillips.

I never walk away from a dare.








EXCERPT:

“I was watching you, Saige. I enjoy watching you.” Maybe that was bold of me, but I don’t care.

She audibly gasps, her chest rising and falling with each quick breath she takes.

I fix my eyes on hers and continue. “And I saw you watching me.”

Her upper lip twitches as she thinks of a sarcastic comeback. I can see the vein in her neck throbbing, along with the beat of her pulse before she finally whispers, “We shouldn’t do this.” She pulls a green olive off the toothpick floating in her martini, then she pops it into her mouth. The green olive matches her eyes perfectly.

I watch her shift uncomfortably in her chair for a few seconds before I respond. “Why not?”

“Because you’re my boss.” So naïve, sweet little Saige is.

“I’m actually not,” I tell her.

She frowns. “You own the company I work for, same thing.”

I clarify, “I’m part owner of the company you work for.”

She sighs. “Holt, this is just drinks. That’s all.” But her eyes tell me she wants more.

I lean closer to her. “It’s never just drinks, Saige.”
