Being Kalli Cover Reveal
Being Kalli by Rebecca Berto
Publication date: TBA
Genre: NA Contemporary Romance
Synopsis:
There are two things you should know about Kalli Perkins.
1. She’d rather do it in public than be alone with a guy.
2. She loves her little brothers more than her mom does.
Kalli doesn’t pretend to be a good girl. At nineteen, she’s never been in love and doesn’t ever intend to be. She has her issues handled. She’s managed to keep the secret of what happened to her nine years ago from her mother, although her mother’s usually high anyway and barely notices Kalli or her little brothers.
One night at a party, Kalli makes a bet with her friend, Nate, that could change everything. Their friend, Scout, tells them there’s no uncrossing the friendship line once it’s crossed—even though they were both drunk. But Kalli can’t imagine how anyone could want her damaged self for anything more.
She didn’t count on Nate. Nate’s very capable of satisfying her not only under her clothes, but in her heart, too.
She just doesn’t know it yet.

He saw the beauty inside of me, looked past what I was becoming on the outside, and gave me his trust. Everyone thinks I tried to kill myself; I think I made a mistake. They all say I’m halfway to the grave; I say I’ve been reborn. Nobody knows what I’m going through, so I’m going to have to fight harder than ever before. The problem is, I no longer know exactly what it is I’m fighting for.”

Book Synopsis:
“If all you can do is crawl, start crawling. Soon, you’ll be able to stand. First, just
crawl.”
S’renaty James lives a privileged life most her age only dream of living. She is
beautiful and popular with her entire life ahead of her. Life could not get any
better.
Until her entire life shifts, crashing around her…
Bound by devastation, persecuted by the ones she used to call ‘friends’, haunted
by disturbing nightmares, and filled with self-blame, she vows to overcome.
Stefan is everything S’renaty swears to avoid. He is carefree and charismatic. He is
primitive, complicated and a total badass. He makes her melt like fine chocolate
under a hot summer’s sun the first time their eyes meet. There is something
about him, and she makes it her mission to find out.
When he meets S’renaty James, he is not prepared for what comes over him
because for the first time ever, a girl leaves him breathless. Now, his primary
responsibility is to keep her safe. He will do anything to protect her. Even lie…
Stefan is the one person she has trusted with her heart. After keeping an
unforgivable secret, he could be the one to shatter it to pieces. In fact, he may
even destroy her beyond repair. Will she overcome and forgive, letting go of the
pain, guilt and shame? Or this time, will she be stronger than the hardest lesson
of her life — and, become totally ShameLess?
About this author:
Mel Ballew resides in rural Pennsylvania with her husband and daughter, along
with their two adorable cats.
An avid reader, she has always had an equal passion for writing and has written
her entire life, to date. Her mother initially birthed, inspired, and encouraged
these loves. The two often discussed writing together but unfortunately, that
dream never came to fruition.
Years later, this happened, that happened—life happened.
She stepped away from writing to place more focus on being wife and a full-time
mom. Today, she would not have changed a thing. The day her daughter was born
became the first day she realized a significant rhythm to her heart was also born.
Her daughter, now preparing to go off to college, has grown into a beautiful and
responsible young adult.
A twisted turn of events in September 2009 left Mel unable to work outside of
the home. Forced to consider other options, and while embracing a therapeutic
approach of transcribing all of the challenges facing her, post-accident, she
returned to journaling. Once again, the writer within her has been re-birthed—
awakened from slumber.
Mel is a hopeless romantic. Blessed, she has her very own soul mate, which she
calls husband, best friend, and lover.
She is a simple country gal, with a profound love of true simplicity. She is just
as hopeless in her love of nature and regards many of her writing aspirations to
appreciating its beauty, although every single story is birthed from her dreams.
Sometimes, in life, simply enjoying a chilled glass of sangria on a warm summer’s
eve or indulging in her love of chocolate and peanut butter is an expression of
enjoying such simplicity. For her, these moments are truly d’vine.

Excerpt
Running lights on the floor illuminated the interior of the bus just enough to keep her from falling and breaking her neck on her way to the kitchenette. She reached out and felt around for the switch under the cabinets that lit up the area above the sink. She had just flicked it on when Trace’s bedroom door opened.
Her heart stuttered and Kylie froze. If the blonde from the bar was in there with him, Kylie was taking her ass to that Winnebago dressed just as she was.
Taking a few deep breaths to brace herself, she turned. Trace stood in the doorway, his dark shirtless figure making her heart race.
“Couldn’t sleep,” she said softly. He just stared at her, reminding her with his scorching gaze that she was dressed in a thin nightshirt that barely reached her thighs. “No company tonight?” she asked, doing her best to keep her voice light, unaffected.
Trace said nothing as he stalked towards her slowly, the force of his stare backing her against the counter.
“Trace,” she said softly as he came close enough to touch.
Still nothing. Just his eyes burning into hers as his bare chest expanded with each breath. His hair was a mess, like he’d spent all night raking his hands through it, and he was barefoot in jeans. Kylie was pretty sure this was the hottest she’d ever seen him. Heat flooded her body, liquefying the lust between her thighs.
The sensation became so intense it was almost painful. Before she had time to ask him what he was doing, Trace’s strong hands gripped her and lifted her onto the counter. His labored breathing was the only sound she heard as he used those same hands to spread her knees apart. Kylie whimpered when he moved forward to press himself between them.
This was not the Trace Corbin she was used to. This man had pleading eyes and was trembling to the point of vibrating with…want. Or maybe it was need. Kylie wasn’t sure. The muscles holding her rigid relaxed under his warm hands. He trailed them up her thighs, to her hips, finally reaching up and touching her face with gentleness she hadn’t expected him to be capable of. His thumb grazed her bottom lip and it sent a shock straight through her, causing her to arch into him.
“You played those boys tonight.” His quiet ragged voice raked over her.
She couldn’t speak, so she nodded. Yes.
“You been playing me?” He pinned her with an intense stare she struggled to return.
This time she shook her head no.
When he let his hands fall back to her hips, she reached up and placed her fingers in his hair, using the lush brown locks to pull him closer. His head dropped below hers with a soft moan, and she could feel him breathing her in. She took advantage of the opportunity to do the same. Bourbon, aftershave, and that woodsy scent that was all Trace. No cheap perfume from his friend from earlier. Trace’s soft warm lips brushed against her neck, sending another shiver through her with so much force it would’ve jolted her off the counter had he not been holding her in place. “I’m sorry about what happened in Jackson,” he whispered. “God, I’m so sorry.” His voice was thick and raw and broke something inside of her.
She still couldn’t manage to get any words to reach her mouth, so she just gripped him tighter. She’d already forgiven him.
Her mind raced with questions. The most pressing one being, what the hell are we doing? But somehow it didn’t seem important to figure it out right that second. She wanted this, ached for it. She hadn’t even realized how badly until that very moment. Holding him close to her felt right. Safe. As if this was what she had needed all along. This is what would take the pain away.
Trace pulled away, just a few inches, but Kylie moaned her displeasure. She tried to pull him back in, biting her lip when he shook his head. God, those eyes. Take cover, they said, because the storm was here, now. And Kylie wanted nothing more than to hurl herself right into its path.
She didn’t know what he was looking for, but his eyes sought answers in hers that she didn’t have. She didn’t even know what the question was. She just wanted him. Like she had never wanted anything or anyone in her entire life.
Cupping her chin firmly, Trace leaned in and oh, oh she was more than ready for his mouth. But he didn’t kiss her. He pressed his forehead to hers and closed his eyes. “So damn beautiful,” he rasped.
Gripping his hips and pulling him as close as possible, until the only thing keeping them apart was the thin lace of her panties and the denim of his jeans, Kylie let her hand stroke his stubbled cheek. She pulled her legs up to wrap them around his waist and Trace let loose a deep growl that had her throbbing against him. The intimacy of it was like nothing she’d ever experienced, taking her higher than even performing on stage had. Trace Corbin should come with a warning label: highly addictive.
Book Description:
After Kylie’s dad dies in a freak accident, he leaves her with nothing other than her crazy stepmother, Darla, and the ability to play guitar. When Darla kicks Kylie out and she loses her job all in the same day, she hops a bus to Nashville determined to make her late father’s dreams come true. Waitressing and saving her pennies to record a demo, her big break comes when she’s asked to join a tour going down the tubes with once platinum album-selling country music superstar Trace Corbin. But touring with Trace is hardly a dream come true since he’s pretty much drinking his career down the drain. If Kylie can’t pull Trace out of his rut, he’ll pull her and her dreams down with him.

Lost and wanting more! Lost in Distraction by BJ Harvey… A review
Book Synopsis:
In the three years after a horrible crime claimed her family, Elise Halliwell has been alone, shut off from the world in a self-imposed emotional exile. She goes through the motions, finishes high school and moves across country to start college and begin the next step in her pre-destined life.
But her exile is dramatically cut short by the entrance of a dark haired, blue-eyed, smirking man who shakes her to the core, achieving what everyone else before him has failed to do, he makes her feel again.
As much as he wishes it were different, fate has not brought Braxton James into Elise’s life, or has it. Brax has to keep her safe from people in her life who have ulterior motives and may want to hurt her.
Elise has no idea the threat she faces, and Brax wants to make sure it stays that way. But as Brax struggles with getting close to her, he begins to live a lie. Unable to resist the pull that is Elise’s bright green eyes, infectious giggle, and loving heart, he finds it impossible to stay away, so the double life of being Elise’s boyfriend and keeping her safe begins.
Full of twists and turns, danger and revelations that no-one could predict, you won’t be the only one lost in distraction.
*This book contains adult situations and explicit content/language*
My Thoughts
This book is fan-freakin-tastic! I Lost in Distraction has all of these.
I actually planned on posting this later in the week, but I just couldn’t wait. The story of Elise and her past is horrifying and no one should ever have to endure what she has been though. She has shut herself off from the world. That is until a blue eyed boy named Brax “stumbles” into her class. I use stumbled lightly, but will not spoil it 
Brax is one that tries to keep his distance, but when he looks into those vibrant green eyes of Elise, he can’t resist. Brax also keeps a huge secret from Elise… that is only for her safety.
I will say that at the end of Chapter 14 I about fell in the floor. I knew something was up, and there was another connection between Brax and someone… I just sure as hell didn’t see that one coming!
I absolutely love a good romance, but I love the thrill behind a good mystery. When you put those two story lines together you get a hot, sexy, keep you on the edge of your toes, nail biting, and emotional roller coaster.
Like I said before, this book kept me wanting more, kept me guessing about what was going on, a love story that will continue to pull you in with each turn of the page, and an ending that will have you begging for Lost #2!
I highly recommend that you 1-click Lost in Distraction right now… you won’t be disappointed!
About the Author:
Having always loved reading, and having been befriended and inspired by some awesome self published authors and book lovers alike, I decided to start writing my first novel, Lost in Distraction in December 2012. It was a conscious decision that started with a song, then the prologue and then catapulted from there.
I love music too, like REALLY love music, if there isn’t music playing, something is wrong. Out and proud Vampire Diaries fan as well.
I’m also a wife, mother, full-time university student and I do contract work for myself from home.

Excerpt:
My breath catches in my throat and it’s like all time is standing still, freezing this moment before it flies past too quickly. Nothing else exists.
Her blonde hair is pulled up high in a messy bun with a few loose tendrils hanging in her face. She’s wearing a white sundress that compliments her sun kissed skin and red cowboy boots that make her legs look they go on forever. God have mercy… those legs… My mind goes straight to conjuring up images of seeing her in nothing but those red boots.
Damn…
I don’t think Blondie could get any hotter but then she proves me wrong when she laughs, a light choral sound that echoes through every bone in my body and settles itself in the core of my stomach. I am completely transfixed, my eyes following her every move until she disappears into the kitchen.

Suddenly Royal
Book Description
Samantha Rousseau is used to getting her hands dirty. Working toward a master’s degree in wildlife biology while helping take care of her sick father, she has no time for celebrity gossip, designer clothes, or lazy vacations. So when a duchess from the small country of Lilaria invites her to dinner, Samantha assumes it’s to discuss a donation for the program. The truth will change the course of her life in ways she never dreamed. Alex D’Lynsal is trying to keep his name clean. As crown prince of Lilaria, he’s had his share of scandalous headlines, but the latest pictures have sent him packing to America and forced him to swear off women—especially women in the public eye. That is, until he meets Samantha Rousseau. She’s stubborn, feisty, and incredibly sexy. Not to mention heiress to an estate in his country, which makes her everyone’s front-page news. While Sam tries to navigate the new world of politics and wealth, she will also have to dodge her growing feelings for Alex. Giving in to them means more than just falling in love; it would mean accepting the weight of an entire country on her shoulders.
My Thoughts
Suddenly Royal says it all. It is the cutest story of a normal hound lady getting to live a fairy tale! It’s not the typical prince steals poor girl away… It’s much better than that. It’s about discovering your past and making your future!
I have to say that this book made me smile, was super sweet, hot, and a great read. Nichole Chase does a great job writing, and my fav things is how she makes references to current books (Inhale, Exhale by Sarah Ross and the Elemental Mystery Series by Elizabeth Hunter…. I loved that series!) it just made it real.
There are all kinds of emotions within this book: living, death,happiness, fear, loss, growth, freedom, and so much more! If you are looking for a book that is like a modern day fairy tale for grownups with a twist… Suddenly Royal is the book for you!
