Blog Tour Sign Up For 1/2 Cocked - Michelle Hughes

Twenty-One-Year-Old College Student Becca Stewart has lived her life by the rules and never stepped over any lines.  For once in her life she wants to be the bad girl and enjoy what she’s missing out on.  She’s had a crush on the star quarterback at her university and decides to tell him how she feels.  He’s all in for a night of wild sex until she confesses to being a virgin.  Telling her he’d love to give her what she wants if she wasn’t innocent, she decides to fight for him.
Hiring a gigolo isn’t something Becca ever thought she’d do, but having Bryce is worth it.  Taking the small nest egg her grandmother left her she hires Colton Dillard and flies out to Las Vegas to get the experience she needs.  Colton owns a company that pleasures women for profit, but he’s not exactly who he claims to be!  Six foot four inches of pure sensuality, he’s every woman’s dream and just the man to teach her the ways of unadulterated sex.
One trip to Sin City will change Becca’s life forever.  Being seduced by a stranger paid to give her all the pleasure she’s ever craved might do more than wake up her hidden passion.  It’s one whirlwind ride of ecstasy, temptation, and discovering that sometimes you don’t know what you really want until it sweeps you off your feet!

Say You'll Stay - Corinne Michaels


[image error]
One word. 

Stay. 
It was all he had to do. Instead, he got on that bus and took my heart with him. 

That was seventeen years ago. 

I moved on. Marriage. Kids. White picket fence. Everything I ever wanted, but my husband betrayed me and I was left once again. 

Alone, penniless, and with two boys, I had no choice but to return to Tennessee. He wasn’t supposed to be there. I should’ve been safe. However, fate has a way of stepping in. 

This time around, the tables are turned. It’s my decision. Second chances do exist, but I don’t know if we can repair what’s already been broken . . . 

** This book is a STANDALONE **

Clutch - L. Wilder

To get what you really want, sometimes you have to walk away.

From NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author L. WIlder comes book four in the Satan's Fury Series, a standalone MC romance.

Olivia
Survival. It was the driving force that kept me going when our world as we knew it was ripped away from us in one horrific night. I didn't know who brutally killed my parents or why, but when the vicious killers turned their focus onto my brother and sister, I did the only thing I knew to do: I ran.

I packed them up and left everything we knew and loved behind and headed for Memphis.

Clutch
The club was my life. I'd do anything for my brothers. Hell, I've taken more than a couple of bullets for them and I'd do it again. But I needed to step away to clear my head. I pushed the throttle forward and headed down south with one goal in mind: to fulfill Cotton's orders and establish the route for the club's new pipeline.

Doing my job was my only focus until I saw her working in that diner down on Front Street. She had fire in her eyes and bite to her tongue -- and she was absolutely breathtaking. Full of class and spunk, the girl was out of my league. What was she doing working at a diner in Memphis, Tennessee? She was a mystery to me, and even though my gut told me she was hiding something, I felt a pull to her that I could not deny.

**Clutch is book four in the Satan's Fury series, but it is considered a standalone romance. This book is intended for readers 18 and older due to violence and explicit language.

Purchase Now on Amazon
About the Author:Leslie Wilder grew up in a small town in West Tennessee. A country girl at heart, she’s always thought that life is too short, but she had no idea how short it really was until her brother passed away in 2014. She’s always been an avid reader, loving the escape only a great book can give, and wondered if she had what it took to write one of the wild romances she’d come to adore. With the support of her family and friends, she published Inferno: A Devil Chaser’s MC, one year after her brother’s death. With him in mind, she fulfilled her lifetime dream of writing. Since then, she’s completed the Devil Chaser’s Series and continued on with the Satan’s Fury MC Series. She has so many stories in her head, and can’t wait to share each and every one. Leslie has been blown away by the support of her readers, appreciating every message, review, and encouraging word she’s received over the past year. She looks forward to continuing this journey with them for years to come.Thanks for joining us at Tears of Crimson. Home to Bestselling Author Michelle Hughes,and all the Friends of Crimson!

I'm Leigh Stone, I live in Northern Ireland, just outside the capital city of Belfast, in a house I share with my teenage daughter, and our personal zoo (1 Labrador mix, 3 cats, and 2 rabbits!).
I'm first and foremost a reader, and a fast reader at that, often devouring books in a single sitting over a period of hours. I have always had aspirations to write and become a published author, but as a teenager I was encouraged to look for a different profession, as being an author "wouldn't pay the bills."
It was that reading that lead a friend of mine to suggest that I had read so many of those books that I could probably write my own! It seemed like a good idea, and I thought that I would give it a try :) a few months later Lex's Melody was well underway, and the rest as they say is history!

Hard Core - Tess Oliver


Purchase on Amazon:   http://amzn.to/29325HN

-LEDGER-

Sometimes one good dose of trouble could turn your life around, put you on the right path. But I'd taken the opposite side of the forked road and headed off looking for even more trouble, like a junkie constantly searching for the next high. Never would I have guessed that turn would lead me to  her

I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was  an angel, a hard core, bone-fide angel  and in her short life, she'd already had a taste of  hell .

-JACY-

Despair. Heartbreak. Silence. That was all I'd grown to know, until  he  showed up next door.

The handsome, tattooed stranger had the kind of eyes that were hard to look away from, and he gazed at me as if we'd been friends or even lovers in a different life. He looked at me as if he knew me, and  suddenly I had this flash of feeling as if I was right where I was supposed to be.


Hard Core is a full-length, standalone novel.
Contains mature content. Intended for readers 18+

What readers are saying:

"The trouble with Tess Oliver's books is that they are  addictive  and once you start you can not put them down." ~Catherine
"This book was  perfection !!" ~Karlena
"This is another  page turner  with a strong message about acceptance and how we treat people." ~Karla
"This is what I call a great read, and I know I am going to have a  book hangover -but it is totally worth it!" ~Loraine 

Tears of Crimson Review:  This was a five star read, and one I couldn't put down.

Melanie Harlow - Man Candy

He’s back. 

Not just back in town, but living in the flat right beneath mine. And he looks good enough to eat, which is just one more reason to stay away from him. 

But I can’t resist. 

The sex is incredible (pretty sure we’ve shaken the house right off its foundation), but he can’t fool me—not this time. A degree in marketing and five years in advertising have taught me that “true love” is a fairy tale used to sell lipstick, diamonds, and perfume. It doesn’t exist. 

He thinks I’m wrong, and he wants to prove it. 

I think he’s crazy, so I dare him to try. 

It might be the biggest mistake of my life. 


"Sexy and delicious. Melanie Harlow's books are my addiction!" -- Lauren Blakely, NYT Bestselling Author
