Finally, Forever

It’s so hard for me to put into words the story of Gray and Dylan. I was asked to blurb, but when I sat down to put into a sentence what I feel – nothing seemed to flow. The words didn’t seem to make sense and they absolutely didn’t capture what I was trying to express. In a nutshell – YOU NEED TO READ THIS SERIES. That alone should be enough for you to one-click and devour two, almost three books, of this amazing, different, sensual love story of two very star-crossed lovers walking the same, yet very different paths in life. To say that Gray and Dylan complete each other is an understatement. They’re romance is tested, repeatedly. Sacrifices are made. Hearts are broken and mended, only to have wounds reopened. Regardless, the stories are worth every minute you’ll spend reading.

I’ve been a fan of Katie’s for a few years now and I’m thankful to have formed a friendship with her. She’s amazing, smart, and talented and her dystopians frankly scare the ever loving crap out of me, but that doesn’t mean I won’t read with a light on. To be able to traverse from dystopia to romance is huge and Katie’s done so flawlessly. My only question is why aren’t you reading her novels?

FINDING MY WAY Cover Reveal

Coming April 14, 2014

Liam Westbury has the world at his feet. He’s the quintessential golden boy. He’s the superstar quarterback for Beaumont High. His girl, Josie, is head cheerleader. He has his choice of colleges just waiting for him.  Except he’s suffocating from all the pressure he’s under and no one understands.

Music is his passion, his love, but something’s missing. His nights are lonely and he longs for the girl he left behind. Seeing her in every face in the crowd haunts him with the knowledge that she hates him. Going home has never been an option until now.

Be there when Liam Westbury becomes Liam Page and follow the highs and lows of the Quarterback turned Rockstar as he finds a way back to Beaumont in this prequel to Forever My Girl.

Finding My Forever

Everywhere I look, my friends are settling down – marriage, children, white picket fences; but not me. Marriage isn’t in the cards for me. I’m a ladies man.

 A rock star. 

 I was born and raised in the industry.

I love everything about my life, especially the attention from the women that my status brings me.

 Women find me. I don’t chase. I know what they want and they know I’ll deliver.

 But after one look, one touch, one night… 

 Now I’m the one doing the chasing.

 I need to find a way to show her that I’m serious, that I can change.

I need to find a way to show her that I can love her fully, and only her.

I need to find a way to show her that she’s my forever.

 

Forever My Girl in Hungarian

There is something pretty stellar about seeing your words being translated, but even more special when there’s a blog tour attached to it’s release.

Well this tour has started and even though the translation is a bit sketchy (from Hungarian to English) it’s exciting to see so many people excited about Liam and Josie!

News!

Well who would’ve thought I’d be making this announcement – not me.

The movie rights for Forever My Girl have sold – yay!!! I’m very happy with the company and have no doubt they’ll do the book justice.

And holy heck LIAM on the big screen!!! I think I should’ve written more shirtless scenes.

My Unexpected Forever Cover Reveal

I expected a life of music.

I expected to raise my son.

It took one look to make everything change.

I never expected happiness.

I never expected to find her.

I never expected to feel desire.

I never expected I’d be a family man.

I never expected to be loved.

I never expected to fall in love.

They say you should expect the unexpected. I didn’t realize my unexpected would be the forever kind.

Try Me by Diane Alberts – A Must Read for any Romance Addict

Take a Chance on Love.

Catchy, right? That is what Diane Alberts does every time she publishes a new story. She shows you taking a chance on love is worth the risk. Her newest release, Love Me, delivers flawlessly with romance, laughter and desire and that is something I haven’t read in some time, a novel where the need to love and be loved is portrayed wholly throughout every page.

Love Me is the second story in the Take a Chance series. Now you don’t need to read Try Me to understand Love Me, but I do recommend it. In fact, I’m giving away a copy today! Love Me is about Thomas and Brianna, two successful business people who aren’t looking for love until it slaps them in the face, or gives them a black-eye.

Thomas is a marketing exec sent to help Brianna with her floundering casino. He’s attracted to her, even though her cold as ice exterior would be a turn off to any man. He’s confident (which oozes on the pages) that he can treat her to a nice dinner, away from work, so they can get to know each other. What he doesn’t bank on are his feelings.

Brianna is a complicated, no non-sense woman who doesn’t need a man to make her life complete. That is until she sees Thomas doing her dishes. Seriously, any man who is willing to wash dishes earns a gold star, right? But it’s not just that. Regardless of his tough exterior and inability to express himself without fear of being laughed at, Brianna knows there’s someone in there that will rock her world and more.

Brianna and Thomas offer each other something that is missing. For Thomas, it’s family and for Brianna… well you’ll have to read Love Me to find out.

I can’t recommend Love Me enough. This is the perfect time to read – the weather is crappy so snuggle up with your blanket and delve into some romance.

A copy is up for grabs. Leave a comment below!
