BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY The Only Exception by A.L. Davis

Title: The Only Exception: BrokenAuthor: A.L. DavisGenre: RomanceRelease Date: Dec 13, 2014



  “Everyone I’ve ever loved has been taken from me and I can’t take the heartache anymore. It’s time to build that wall around my heart and let no one in, no exceptions.”
Ellie never did know her mother; before she turned twenty she lost her father in the line of duty; a freak accident stole her fiancé from her before they had a chance to start their life together. She wants answers, but now that she’s living in a new town and trying to start over, she’s finding that it’s not that easy. Maybe new surroundings are what she needs to make it easier to move on and forget all about her old life. It could have been…until he showed up.
“Having the sort of job that is as dangerous as what I do doesn’t allow for a personal life, no exceptions.”
Jack and his team of military misfits have seen their fair share of war zones and violent criminals. Skilled in precision rescue operations, they’ve traveled into some of the most terrifying countries and stood up to intimidating adversaries, but when a mentor of Jack’s calls them in for a favor that he is unable to turn down, he finds himself up against his most challenging fear of all…his heart. There is a fine line between getting close enough to do your job and getting so close that you get attached. That line used to be obvious, but now that he’s met her, things have blurred and priorities have shifted. Can he keep his feelings in check and still protect Ellie from an adversary more dangerous and twisted than she could ever imagine?






“And this…” I tossed the manila envelope back to the desk, “…is not a job. It’s a death sentence. My death sentence. I’m walking in blind. I mean, how do I know she’s not running from the law?”
Lou shook his head, his mouth contorting into a tight frown, and answered matter-of-factly, “She’s not. And why would that stop you?”
“How do I know for sure? How do you know for sure?” I challenged, making him smile.
Somehow, that irritated me even more. He was hiding something.
“Because I know,” he answered, lips pursed, eyes narrowing at me. He didn’t look away and neither did I. I wanted to know what he was thinking. What was he hiding? Unfortunately, he was going to make it difficult to find out.
I sighed, knowing that was the only answer I was going to get. “Is she hiding from her husband or boyfriend or something?”
“Most definitely not,” he answered with a heavy sigh, sadness flicking across his face.
This piqued my interest. And why was a small part of me so damn happy with that answer?
“Did she kill someone?” I figured I already knew the answer to this one, but I had to ask.
He chuckled. “Absolutely not.”
“What if she’s got the mob after her? Did she piss off a terrorist group?”
“So what if they are? So what if she did? You’ve been wrapped up in worse and handled it,” he answered quickly. “Stop with the stalling already, Jack. I need to know. Are. You. In.”
“Lou, I don’t help people against their will because if they won’t listen and do what I tell them to do, bad things happen. She doesn’t want me anywhere near her. She won’t even look at me, let alone talk to me. Ellie dodges me all day long. I tried to just talk to her like you asked me, but she avoids me like the plague and scurries off in the other direction. She looks at me like…like…”
“Like the frightened child she is,” Lou interrupted sighing.

RELEASE BLITZ: Sweetness, He Said by Jude Starr

When the people you love betray and humiliate you, how do you learn to trust again?Fleeing this very heartache, Iris leaves her Florida home to attend Columbia University. While she makes friends, works, and enjoys her classes, Iris is not in a rush to fall in love; that is, until a certain sexy someone finds her. Suddenly, Iris' boring holiday takes a sizzling turn. But will the heat of passion lead to a holiday fling, or finally melt her frozen heartDealing with a tainted past, Calvin makes building his company his priority. He's busy enjoying the single life until a blonde skatergirl becomes the focus of his attentionCan Iris help her man let go of his past guilt and show him how to love unconditionally?


I put on a red mini skirt with a black top which flattered me in all the right places and paired the clothing with knee-length black leather boots. The weather here had been one of the hardest things to adjust to. December brought cold weather and my thin jacket clearly didn't do enough to keep me warm anymore. With my next paycheck, a winter jacket was going to be a priority. If only I made more money, it would make my life a lot easier. Christmas was coming and I was going to stay at the dorm alone, with no money available to afford the trip home. It sucked, my parents were angry at first when I told them I wouldn’t be coming, but they’d eventually come to terms with my decision.
"Sugar!" Zach entered my room, he stared at me, practically drooling.
"Hey lucky." I blushed. "I'm ready."
He stepped closer, his blue eyes filling with desire.
"I’ve change my mind. What about staying here for the night?"
I knew what he was suggesting, but there was no way I would cancel my night out. It represented my only Christmas celebration. The only fun I expected to have until the beginning of January when he would return to the residence. "I want what you want, lucky, but we have to go out. I want to have some fun. A crazy fun-filled night is ahead of us."
He took me prisoner in his arms and his lips found mine. God! Tingles overwhelmed my body. I had to stop him, now, while I could still think.
"Zach, stop, not now, okay?" He looked down at me, lust plastering his eyes. "I feel it too. Whatever this is that we have… but Krystal is waiting, and I really need a drink." Lame excuses, Iris.
"Later, then." He kissed me one last time, making me regret stopping him in the first place. All part of a game I was meant to lose.
Krystal waited at the end of the hall, all dolled up and looking sexy. She had no partner for tonight. She was on her own, living the good life, she said.
"If the party sucks, I know a place where we could have a good time." Krystal had some connections here in New York. Her cousin was into the nightlife scene in a big way and always kept Krystal on speed dial if an opportunity presented itself.
"Will your cousin be there?" Zach asked, inevitably, because he liked her. At the time, he hadn’t specified how much he liked her, but I knew he thought she was hot.
I rolled my eyes at him. "I’m hungry, I forgot to grab something to eat before leaving. I was distracted."
"Do you want to stop by work before we go out, then we can use our discount," Krystal proposed, since we were both short on money.
"Okay, let’s go." I didn’t think Zach's love of fast food would ever die. Walking with heels on a cold night, and with a short skirt, soon proved to be a bad idea. I missed both my sneakers and my skateboard.
The warmth of the restaurant was welcome and the smell had me convinced I was starving. My coworkers eyed Krystal and I as if we had just arrived from a different planet. "Hey guys." Krys broke the silence. "We'll have three number ones with Diet Coke." With our discount, it came down to almost nothing cost wise.
We sat at a table by the front window and ate in silence. My brain couldn't process anything other than eating. I was famished and half way through my meal when Zach spoke. "Come on, girls. I don't want to get there after everyone is already wasted." I took a last sip of my Diet Coke before throwing it into the garbage disposal. With a full stomach, I was ready to party the night away. We entered the house where the party was taking place. There was people everywhere. The house was crowded to the point that I feared for our safety. What if something happened?
Zach grabbed three beers from the counter and offered us one. We stood face-to-face unable to move in the sea of people. The night wasn’t turning out as I had imagined. No dance area, no place to sit, just a big mass of people drinking and sweating. After five minutes, I wanted to leave. The parties in Florida were a lot more fun to be honest, and I’d expected the opposite.
"What about we finish our beer and get the hell out of here?" Zach proposed.
"Good idea. I got our names on the guest list for the grand opening of the Whiskey Bar & Lounge at the Health and Fitness Tower."
"Is there a place to dance?" I asked.
"Probably." Krystal didn't seem certain but I was willing to take the risk. It couldn't be as bad as this party.
"I heard this place is huge, different sections and all."
I drank the remainder of my beer and hurried outside, needing some fresh air. The brisk wind hit me head on. God, how I missed home and the warm weather.
We got into a taxi, warming up before attending what seemed like the ultimate event. A valet was waiting for the cars as they arrived. Although we had arrived in a taxi, the valet opened the door for us and let us out taking Krystal’s and then my hand to steady us as we stepped out. We were escorted by a tall man at the entrance and Krys was telling him about the invitation we’d received. He confirmed all three of us were on the guest list. Our jackets were taken to the cloak room and we were offered a small glass of whiskey. It tasted like no other whiskey I had ever tried before. So much flavour and I felt the warm liquid trickle all the way to my stomach. If I could afford it, I would have bought a second one, but I doubted I could afford the price.
"Now, we're talking." Zach licked his lips, confirming he loved it, too. "I think I'm going to like this place. It’s cozy, and it has class." He glanced around the bar, looking satisfied with our decision to come.
"Only you could afford it." I chuckled. "Working in a fast food restaurant doesn't exactly give us that possibility."
Zach had no issues, financially. His father was one of the busiest real estate agents in New Jersey. Once every two or three months, Zach had to give his father a hand with all the paperwork, but otherwise, he didn't need to work to afford the dorm experience. It never made sense to me, why he was living in the dorms if he could stay in the family residence. He said when I questioned him that he didn't like to live alone.
"Iris, isn't it?" A voice spoke from behind me. It didn't sound familiar. Before spinning around, I noticed Krystal's jaw dropping to the floor and her eyes were round like a couple of lollipops.
Oh my God. It’s him. The guy who flirted with me, at work. "Hi." I barely manage to get a word out, I’m so stunned.
"Here, I got you another one of those." He smiled and his charm hits me, making every inch of my skin shiver. I took the glass of whiskey from his outstretched hand and when our fingers touched, something strange happened. My eyes met his and… and… what was that? Something happened in my chest, as if my heart had stopped beating for an instant.
"Thank you." I flushed.
"You and your friends can have anything you want. It’s on me."
I shook my head in disagreement. "I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t accept that."
"You certainly will. Julia here, will make sure you guys have everything you need."
His generosity left me speechless, but it wasn't in my nature to accept anything that was handed to me with no good reason. Even more so, when it came from a complete stranger. "Why?"
He stared at me as if I was missing something important. "Because I own this place, and I want to make sure you're having a good time."
"Thank you." Krystal accepted his offer for us and I mentally beheaded her.
He startled me when he placed his hand on my forearm, I was still deeply focused, hating on Krys. He clutched my forearm for a second with his fingers and then left. What was that all about? I didn't know his name, or the reason behind his attention. I had only met him for the first time today and nothing had happened between us, other than him flirting a little. At the time, I thought it was innocent, but doubt was starting to make me rethink the whole situation.
"I think he wants something from you." Zach said, sounding unhappy.
Krystal chuckled. "Clearly. His name is Calvin Banks. He owns this, the gym upstairs and most of the building, if not all. He is big into health, sport and everything in between. He used to play football professionally. I knew I’d seen him somewhere before."
"Okay, so? Why are you telling me all this now?" I asked nervously.
"I hadn't figured it out this afternoon. Now, though, he’s making it obvious – he wants you in his bed."
Zach tensed beside me. "He's too old for you."
"I don't think he's even thirty yet," Krys announced, giving Zach one more reason to worry.
I had no idea who he was. I only knew his name because Krys had told me. He didn't even have the decency to properly introduce himself, when he decided to offer me a drink. Calvin obviously had money, that much was clear, but he didn't interest me.
Yet.

BOOK TOUR & GIVEAWAY: White Swans by Annamaria Bazzi

Cover designer: Natasha BrownEditor: Wizards in PublishingPage Count: 258 pagesGenre: Sci-Fi FantasyPublished: January 15, 2015 


Kendíka’s second chance at life begins as a nightmare.Will the eerie eyes always looking down from the sky reveal themselves?Kendíka challenges the aliens no one has ever seen to bring about a better life for the humans trapped in the surreal Regency world she wakes up in.While getting to know her alien owner, she discovers the aliens aren’t so perfect and have much to learn about humans.Will Kendíka survive or perish, attempting to make life better for the people living on Regency?

Startled by the lack of movement, Kendíka sat up in bed, scanning the shadows in the moonlit room. Perspiration beaded her forehead while her heart pounded against her ribs. The last thing she remembered was sitting in the limousine next to Mr. Vetrano, arguing about her future. He insisted the will mandated her future, not him. Did the pill knock her out? How dare he drug me!
She blinked and, holding her breath, glanced around the unfamiliar room. When her lungs screamed for air, she exhaled then took another deep inhale. What the hell? What happened to the limousine?Butterflies unsettled her stomach. Her back stiffened. Her heart drummed. Oh, my God! When did I get out of the car or come to this room? Why would Mr. Vetrano bring me to such a freaky place? Fear and the thought of her parents’ death brought fresh tears to her eyes.She slid out of bed and shuffled her bare feet along the stone floor, hands held out to make sure she didn’t bump into anything hidden by the shadows.At the opposite end of the room, she could make out a dark blob, which she hoped might be the door. Somewhere along the wall near it, she would find a light switch.

BLOG TOUR , GIVEAWAY, & REVIEW: For Authentication Purposes by Amber L. Johnson

 
Presents...
For Authentication Purposes by Amber L. Johnson

Release Date: March 5th , 2015Published by The Writers Coffee ShopGenre: New Adult Romance / Contemporary Romance / Romance Erotica / Humor 
 ISBN e-book: 978-1-61213-387-4 Available from: Amazon, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, and TWCS PH
~~SUMMARY~~

Dawn Sims has made a name for herself writing romantic fiction online. When she's pushed to try her hand at publishing, she thinks she has everything figured out. The only problem? She's never been in a relationship, especially one that has led her to finding The Big O. So much for writing what you know. Warner Green has had Dawn in his sights since she walked into his class in seventh grade. She broke his teenage heart not once, but twice, so seeing her in his night class at the local community college was an unexpected surprise. Accidentally reading her bad erotica on her laptop was a blessing from the Smut Gods themselves. It's clear she has no idea what she's writing about, but Warner does. In fact, he knows so much that he's willing to offer her his services. The deal is simple: teach the good girl from high school everything she needs to know to write from experience. If he gets to live out a fantasy or two that he's been harboring for almost a decade, then there's no harm in that either. The lessons turn more heated, and Dawn begins to question where Warner has learned his skills, but he's not ready to talk, until his past comes back to haunt him at the worst possible time. It shouldn't matter when it's for authentication purposes only.

~~EXCERPT~~
“Come on. Say it. I know where you’re going.”
Shifting a little to look at him, I resisted the urge to kick him in the nuts and lick his neck at the same time. I mean he looked pretty hot sitting in my chair eating that muffin. Stupid handsome face and fornication hair paired with what I assumed were dirty jeans and a plaid flannel. “Fine. I’m going to buy a vibrator with the money you gave me. Happy?” His smile was in full force now. “Hell yeah, I’m happy. Ecstatic, even.” He chewed around the pastry in his mouth and laughed. “I’ll come with you to make sure you get the right one.” “Oh, hell no. Being with you in a porn shop is on my list of Things to Never Do before I Die.”  





~~My Review~~


With each book of Ms. Johnson’s that I've read, I've only become a bigger fan of hers. Saying that, this book wasn't my favorite and up until the end, I thought I was only going to give it a four, maybe a four and a half. It just didn't have ‘the feels’ that ensnared me the way Eight Days a Week and Maybe did . . . until the end. Given what the main story line of this book is, she couldn't have ended it more perfectly. 
Once I closed my Nook, I sat back to try and gather my initial thoughts so I could write this review, and something dawned on me. While the idea behind the story wasn't Nobel Peace Prize worthy, it was still well-written, it made me laugh and squirm, it drew the ‘awws’ from me at the cheesy-sweet moments, and was completely different from Johnson’s other works. For that, I bumped my judgement up to five stars. Johnson doesn't rehash the same romantic HEA with different names and settings. No, each of her stories is unique, thus showcasing her talent. 
Warner Green comes across as your smooth-talking, know-it-all dreamboat. However, as For Authentication Purposes unfolds, we find a man with a sweet center who is more unsure of himself than you ever would've guessed. Dawn Sims is your classic awkward girl who finds confidence hiding behind a pen name and sharing her ‘naughty writing’ online in free forums. When Warner stumbles across some of her writing, the teasing flares to Defcon levels. Unexpected by either of them, so do the sparks. 
Somehow Ms. Johnson has taken a story that, at first, seems to be sex-driven, and woven a tale of sheer delight. You’ll laugh, you’ll roll your eyes, you may even get a little teary-eyed, but I also dare you not to get a little hot under the collar once Wardo’s sex lessons begin with his Bunny (fap, fap, fap, fap). In the end you’ll be left smiling and with a feeling of all around satisfaction. Grab a copy of For Authentication Purposes, a refreshing beverage, your favorite blankie, and settle back for an afternoon of reading. You’ll be glad you did.

RELEASE TOUR: Broken Window by Dorothy H. Hayes

Cover designer/Editor: Mainly Murder Press
Page Count: 225 page ARC ~ 182 page Mobi
Genre: Fictional mystery
Published: February 10, 2015



The New York City subway was dangerous, the parents told the three Wilton High School graduates, but the girls weren’t taking no for an answer. Kelly Singleton, soon to be an NYU freshman, and her two friends board the hazardous subway train. Several stops later, her two friends get off, but Kelly is nowhere to be found. It is the torrid August of 1984, and crime is at an all-time high. Kelly’s desperate parents turn to reporter Carol Rossi and police detective Jerry Stevenson to find their missing daughter.

Two special excerpts for you to enjoy.

The subway was dangerous.
But the three girls wouldn’t take no for an answer. Kelly Singleton was moving from her Connecticut home into her NYU dorm, and the subway was part of her new life, she told her concerned parents. Jamie Ryan and Christina Moore were her two best friends and would be visiting Kelly whenever they could. They insisted that they needed to learn how to navigate mass transportation. For all three of them, riding the subway was a rite of passage. That was their final plea. The old, rusted trains they were so anxious to ride broke down regularly, leaving passengers to wait, sometimes forty minutes and longer, in dangerous circumstances, their parents argued. The Daily News and The New York Times frequently reported gang violence on the trains, which in the last ten years had become the symbol of the city’s rising crime rate. Gangs, boldly wearing identifying colors, often openly roamed the cars, intimidating passengers, bullying them to hand over their pocket money with no fear of recrimination, as if they owned the trains. Gang-tagged graffiti covered every inch of the filthy trains, including the windows. It was August 1984 and a crisis situation for New York City, with two thousand homicides expected yearly. ~~~~~~~~~~However, the girls argued that millions rode the subway every day, and crimes usually occurred in the early morning hours. The girls would travel during morning rush hour, and to keep everybody from worrying, they would return home during rush hour in broad daylight. Jack Singleton, a New York City attorney and managing partner of the firm, didn’t take well to losing the subway debate; he was only too familiar with the city’s crime rate and the subway system. So the Singletons were the last of the parents to acquiesce and Jack only after some arm-twisting from his wife Nina. He wasn’t too happy about his daughter attending NYU in the first place. He’d be relieved when the three girls got this trip out of their systems, saw the dangers of the trains and got back home.

Sneak Peek Sunday Author to AUTHOR: Indivisible Line by Lorenz Font

     Indivisible Line by Lorenz Font
Release Date: March 12 , 2015Published by The Writers Coffee ShopGenre: FICTION / Romance / Contemporary / Thrillers ISBN e-book: 978-1-61213-373-7 Together, Sarah and Greg must both decide whether they can overcome the vast differences between them, or if the indivisible line that separates their worlds will ultimately pull them apart.


~~SUMMARY~~Pre-med student Sarah Jones is back in Beaver, Alaska, for summer vacation. A loyal member of the Gwich’in tribe, she accepts the rules set by her father, the leader of their small town. Raised in a strict household, she learned early on to do what is expected of her and has agreed to an arranged marriage. Despite her reluctance to marry without love, Sarah is unwilling to defy her father’s wishes. She hopes to help usher in an era of independence and stability for the town, but for now, her focus is finishing med school so she can become Beaver’s resident doctor.

Business owner Greg Andrews needs a change of atmosphere, away from his philandering wife and life in general. Leaving New York City to join a hunting expedition in Alaska, Greg’s plans are turned upside down when he is shot on Gwich’in land and ends up on Sarah’s operating table. In the absence of a qualified doctor, Sarah must operate to save his life. She refuses to wait for the consent of their tribal leader, and her father banishes her from the tribal land in punishment.Grateful for his life, Greg concocts a scheme to help. Plagued by the side effects of her unconventional operation, he convinces Sarah to become his live-in nurse. Without the means to support herself, Sarah agrees to the questionable arrangement, but she soon finds herself in even more trouble. Her new problem is that she is falling in love with this infuriating man, and the choices she now must make are much more difficult than the simple act of saving a man’s life.Together, Sarah and Greg must both decide whether they can overcome the vast differences between them, or if the indivisible line that separates their worlds will ultimately pull them apart.
~~EXCERPT~~
Sarah spoke again once she’d gotten her frazzled nerves in check. She looked up and met his gaze squarely. “Is this why you had me kidnapped? So you can rub my mistakes in my face? Punish me?”He seemed to consider her question before answering. “It’s one of my reasons.”She angled her body toward him. “What are the others? You want to throw me in jail?”“I thought about it, but what good would it do me?” Greg’s lips thinned, and without giving her a chance to answer, he added, “I have other things in mind as compensation for your poor judgment.”“This is blackmail. I can sue you for kidnapping, Mr. Andrews.” She shook her fist at him, but he just shrugged his shoulders in response.“Sue me? With what money, Sarah? Last I checked, you’d been driven away from your home. You have no money, no place to stay, and no other means to pull your life together.” He cocked an eyebrow. “As far as I can tell, no one has even missed you yet.”That might have been true, but he had no right to sling the unfortunate details of her life at her. Sarah stood, refusing to listen anymore. “You have no right to talk to me this way, Mr. Andrews. If you want to put me in jail, go ahead.” She brought her arms together and turned them around, her wrists facing him.“No jail time for a girl like you. I have other things in mind.” He smiled.

✦✦Synopsis✦✦

Joe always hooks up with the wrong women, head jobs and debutantes looking to further their own careers. Joe’s had it, he’s crashing and he’s doing nothing to stop his decent into his own personal hell. Darlene Russo is a single mom and a huge boxing fan. Except she can’t afford to attend any of the bouts, she watches from afar, she’s a cleaning lady for the biggest sports arena in Brooklyn, New York.

✦Excerpt✦"Look at me," Joe said as his fingers went under Darlene's chin. "You're very attractive."

Darlene trembled his touch was warm, gentle and his voice soothing so confident.

He ran a finger over her bottom lip. "You're trembling, I like that. Tells me a woman's body is reacting and I love a wet soft pussy."

Her heart leapt in her chest and her nipples hardened. She'd never had a man talk to her like that. There mere mention of her pussy made her body ache.

"I bet right about now, if I slipped a finger into you, you'd be sopping wet. Should I try and see?"

Darlene swallowed, she couldn't move because he was right, he was so right.

 
✦✦Ethan Radcliff✦✦ I've been writing since I was a kid. I love creating and tried my hand at art, not bad but not good enough. A guy's gotta eat. Through high school I wrote erotic stories, kept them in a notebook, let a few of my girlfriends read them. Yeah, played football, baseball, but my brain never stopped thinking of sex. I guess we think about it all the time. Been on face book for a while never did anything interesting when I was on until I started to see all the writers and then some poets posting their erotic prose. Men who were writing erotic romance and stories, I knew it was my time to get out the old note book and throw on some poems. Some are old and some are new, the ones about BDSM are newer. In high school or college I wasn't on that train of thought. I see a picture it sets me off. A see an attractive women it sets me off. The jiggle of a full ass or heavy breasts, gets me going. Yeah, my mind always is on a beautiful face or body.
