Pop star Abby Murphy has fame and fortune and handsome boyfriend and guitarist, Sean. That changes the night she finds him in the arms of another woman. But Sean won't accept the breakup, and she soon finds out he's working with her mother, who's also her manager, to keep him in her good graces. As Sean ratchets up his threats against her, Abby turns to her bodyguard, Danny Nucci, who will do everything in his power to keep her safe. But when Abby realizes her feelings for Danny run much deeper than she'd like, she pushes him away as much to keep her own independence as to protect him from Sean's machinations. When Abby finally finds the strength to confront all that is wrong with her life, she seeks refuge with Danny, but is it too late? Has she pushed him away one too many times for him to trust her now? Or can he put his own demons aside to help repair them both?

Sneak Peek & Giveaway - Deeper

Book Title: Deeper Author: Allyn Lesley Genre: Romantic Suspense Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

Everything Avianna Linton thought she knew was shattered in one traffic stop. With her life turned upside down, she flees to the bright lights of New York City hoping for anonymity and a new life. Rising from nothing, Noah Adams holds onto his power and control with a bone-crushing grip. No one dared challenge his authority until her... Avi’s disdain for Noah is barely contained, and Noah does everything he can to restrain himself—a concept he has little experience with. There’s more between the two than either of them realize. A force looms near, hovering with deadly precision and motivated solely by revenge. Avi wonders who her new friends truly are and if she’s already in too deep. Noah, accustomed to getting what he wants, will do whatever it takes to draw Avi's in deeper. Deeper is an interracial romantic suspense novel by new author Allyn Lesley.  

Noah Adams Age: 33 years old Occupation: CEO, Accipiere LLC Background: He makes no apologies for who he is.

Avianna “Avi” Linton Age: 24 years old Occupation: Elementary Teacher, New York City Board of Education Background: Recent transplant from a small Floridian town who's looking for a do-over

© Allyn Lesley 2014 Where the fuck is that little she-devil? Zo pointed toward the dance floor, addressing his employer’s unvoiced question. “Under the ball.” Noah saw her clear as day and dancing way too close with someone who might soon be leaving the club with a limp. He blew out a breath. She knew better than this, yet she still tested the limits set up for her protection. A restraining hand on Noah’s arm paused him mid-stride. “Boss?” Noah’s eyes widened at Zo’s hand. Immediately, the younger man’s hand fell away, and he wisely stepped back. Even in the dim light, Noah saw embarrassment tinge Zo’s face. “I, um. Excuse me, Mister Adams, but I can’t let you go over there,” Zo said, swallowing the fear his boss evoked. “Let. Me?” Noah pointed at himself and straightened to his impressive six feet and five inches. “And who’s going to stop me?”

Glitch by Olivia Linden & LeTeisha Newton Blog Tour

It’s my pleasure to participate in this blog tour featuring a novel that captured my attention from I saw these words: crime never looked so good.



BlurbGoodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23509014-glitch?ac=1Liam Gallagher, AKA Glitch, is the brain behind a trio of corporate criminals. Formerly known as one of the most notorious hackers in cyberspace, he now works to keep Hawk Global Industries one step ahead of its competitors. 

But there's a catch. Being blackmailed to do what he does best isn't how Glitch plans to spend the rest of his life, and his partners in crime feel the same way. When an old flame crosses his path unexpectedly, Glitch and company learn that betrayal is on the horizon for them. It's time to put a plan in motion and reclaim their freedom, once and for all. Things are going to get pretty nasty along the way, even a little sexy, but it's all in a day's work for a Corporate Hitman.Amazon US  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q1KGYGCAmazon UK  http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00Q1KGYGC


Author BioOlivia Linden, a native New Yorker, was raised between Queens and San Antonio, TX. Currently living in Florida with her 10 year-old son, she decided it was time to follow her dreams of becoming a full time author. Her creative itch began when her elementary school principal posted one of her stories in the halls of her school. She was only seven at the time, but old enough to understand how integral writing would be to her future. From that moment on, reading and writing became her two greatest passions.
Olivia is a newbie to the industry, but she hasn’t stopped writing since she found her literary voice all those years ago. Jaded Hearts, her first published novel, mixes her big personality, with a sexy yet humorous tone. It is her philosophy that laughter is essential to making it through even the toughest situations.

She’s known for her extensive knowledge of shifter cultures, even outside of the generic werewolves and vampires, crazy world-building, and making shapeshifters feel like they are living right next door. That has led to her being dubbed the Shifter Queen. Some of her series include the best-selling Claimed and Taken Series.

I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

My attention was first captured when I stumbled on the first fan-made book trailer for this novel. My heart melted when I read the novel's summary and learned this would be a story told over three books. This is a novel approach to a plot and one, I believe, will inject some renewed interest in interracial/multicultural reading, specifically, and reading, more broadly. 

We meet Glitch whose real name is Liam in an unfortunate scenario. We aren't told much but must follow him as he's carted to a room where we meet, not by name, the other heroes (Scratch and Jack) who will have their own novels. I love the pacing of the novel and the action sequence. Glitch is a computer geek but the authors don't bog us non-techies with too many techie-terms that we wouldn't/couldn't understand. As I read the novel, I got a clearer sense of Glitch and his friends as well as the man who they're all trying to take down. 

Personally, I can't wait for Scratch and Jack's story.


Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Olivia Linden and LeTeisha Newton for an interview. A lot was learned and shared!

Allyn: Tell us about who you are. 
Olivia: Howdy! Well, I love talking about myself. I have a sarcastic sense of humor and my first statement was an example of it! I love to laugh, debate, discover new things, and connect with people. Of course, I love to read and write. I’m a borderline introvert so I fluctuate between being a homebody and having an active social life.
LeTeisha: My name is LeTeisha Newton, Romance author.
 Are you traditionally published, self-published, or a hybrid? Olivia: I’m a self-published gal. While it does have it’s challenges, I enjoy the control over what I produce. If I make a mistake, then I have to work harder the next time. I’ve learned a lot from the process so far and excited to learn more.
LeTeisha: I’m an oddball LOL. I’m a hybrid author.
Tell us about your most recent novel. Olivia: GLITCH is a little different than anything I’ve written before. The focus of the book is the main character, GLITCH aka Liam Gallagher, who is part of a trio of corporate hitmen who have been blackmailed by the same man in exchange for their talents. GLITCH happens to be a hacker, and has to use these skills against their boss when the crew learns he is plotting their demise. GLITCH a bit of an introvert, but has done enough dirt to give him a bit of an edge. Through his relationships with his partners, and an old flame from his hacking days, he learns how to balance his highly technical mind with his passionate heart.
LeTeisha: Glitch is my most recent novel, written with co-author Olivia Linden. It’s a Romantic Suspense novel surrounding three men, Glitch, Scratch, and Jack, who form a bond together after being sprung out of jail to become corporate spies. The man who sprung them out of jail, Eagle, though, plans to double cross them, and the war is on. Of course it wouldn’t be romantic suspense without them finding some amazing women along the way!
Please share one thing you learned about yourself during this co-writing process. Olivia: When you write alone, you don’t really notice your ‘quirks’. Sometimes I need to let a scene set in my mind before I can write it out. That doesn’t always work when you have another person waiting on you. Learning to compromise during the creative process was important.
LeTeisha: I learned that having a co-author is amazing, when you’re in sync. Olivia could catch things my tired eyes couldn’t see, or I could fill in blanks with some technical issues that arose writing about a hacker. We really fed off each other.
Which GLITCH character are you most like and why?Olivia: Wow! I think I would be a mix between GLITCH and his love interest, Araceli. I can be a bit introverted, but I tend to joke around and relax with the people I’m closest to. Araceli was a tech geek, but she also had a streak of feistiness to her.
LeTeisha: Oh Lord, that’s my Jack! He’s dark, tortured, and so broken. He thinks he doesn’t know how to love, but he understands loyalty, and nothing means more to him than Glitch and, especially, Scratch. I love that about him in every way.
 How did the idea of the Corporate Hitman series originate?Olivia: LeTeisha and I worked on another project together and after that we were talking and brainstorming. We both shared our thoughts and the hitmen were born. We came up with the titles based on each guy’s unique talent. GLITCH was a play on the fact that he is a hacker who causes computer glitches for others.
LeTeisha: After completing Red’s Redemption with Olivia, writing under Mona King and Danette Ardell, we went through a crazy brainstorm session about darker characters. The Hitmen were born from that. Boy, am I glad about that!
Share two reasons why readers should purchase GLITCH.Olivia: If you like a fast paced adventure, then GLITCH is for you. If you like romance with your suspense, then GLITCH is for you. lol.
LeTeisha: It’s not like anything you’ve read. It’s not like anything I’ve written before. Glitch just gripped me from the time we created his character to the time I saw his story develop on the pages.
  Any last thoughts.
Olivia: Thanks for the awesome interview. :)LeTeisha: Get Glitch, because these three guys are amazing to know, and you don’t want to miss a single part of the story!


Are you the hero, heroine, villain, or a side character? Huh. I guess I’m the hero, but I wouldn’t be without my boys Scratch and Jack.
What is your name?GLITCH is the codename that I use now, a cute play on words the guys made up for me for being such a computer geek. My real name is Liam Gallagher, but you’re not supposed to know that.
Tell us a little about yourself. I’m not going to tell you much, cause that’s just how I am, but I will tell you that all I need to be happy is my hacker gear and my hacker chick.
 What is one thing you want readers to know about you? I know I don’t reveal much of my emotions, but I would hope that readers know how much the people in my life, all three of them, mean to me. I would do anything for each one of them.
 If you had to relive your life, would you do anything differently? That’s a tough question when changing one thing would mean a totally different life. Even though things are tough right now, I have a girlfriend and I have friends. I had none of that when I was ZeroDoom, the most notorious hacker around. I was lonely back then. If I absolutely have to answer, then my answer would be to have told Araceli how I felt about her back then.
What is one thing you do well and one thing you need to improve upon? I know that I’m different and I’m ok with it, but I have to understand my affect on other people and make sure to balance my ‘glitches’ in communication.
Describe your greatest love. A.R.A.C.E.L.I
    What do you think of your creators, LeTeisha Newton and Olivia Linden? What do you think about God? Ha ha Just kidding. I think they’re a pair of kick-ass ladies.

A hodge podge post but there's a point

It's all drab and gloom in my neck of the woods and so I'm coming to you with a few opportunities:

Need You Now by Mika Jolie Blog Tour & Giveaway

Elementary school teacher Liliana Serrano has never been one to let others determine her future. Whether it’s her pack of three overly protective brothers or her Puerto-Rican, American heritage, she stands on her own. Which is exactly how she entered her arrangement with Adam Aquilani. The hot formula one driver is aloof, detached and not interested in relationship. After a cheating fiancé, no strings attached sex was just what she needed. Except one year later, they’re still hooking up and things aren’t so clear cut anymore. Especially when a surprise pregnancy enters the picture. Adam is determined to marry Lily and raise their child as a family. But Lily refuses to settle for anything less than love. As the two go on a journey of discovering, secrets are revealed, testing the strength of their connection. Can they learn not to give the past the power to define their future? Need You Now is book two of the Martha’s Way Series.

Author of contemporary sensual, empowered romance, with fun relatable characters. Member of Secret Cravings Publishing. I live in New Jersey with what I often refer to as my Happy Chaos or my three men, which comprise of my husband and our two energizer bunnies. When I do have time to breathe, I like to run, hike with my camera at hand, and work on my gardening and knitting skills.

“I need more, Adam. I need stability and tame.” He sat back. “Tame,” he repeated. “You’re not tame,” she said sadly. “You can never be tamed.” He brushed a hand over his jaw and let out a breath. “You want boring.” Silence. He pushed his chair back, came to his full height and extended his hand to her. Puzzled, she looked at him. “I’ll walk you out.” With a slight lip press, she absorbed the unexpected shock of disappointment and lowered her head to keep it from reflecting on her face. What did she expect? For him to fight for them, or even worse, try to convince her to stay. “I want you, Liliana,” Adam admitted, his voice very quiet. “When I touch you, I melt. When I think of you touching me, I lose myself.” Life needed to go easy on her. It just wasn’t right for him to tell her things like that. To whisper it as if she were the love of his life while he was breaking her heart. “But I don’t fit the mold of your ideal guy. I can never be that person.” There was a hint of regret in his voice that pulled at her heart. Lily glanced at him, his expression clouded. When she didn’t place her hand in his, he dropped his extended hand to his side and waited for her to join him. This is it, she thought and stood. The end. No more Adam. No more secret smiles or early morning phone calls. She walked ahead of him, heading for the exit. Her heart beat a slow ache in her chest. She stumbled, almost tripping down the stairs. She quickly reached for the wall to catch her balance but he was already by her side, strong arms around her waist. Their faces inches away. “Don’t fall,” he whispered. His gaze on her mouth.

The warning came too late. She already had.

Post-Release Blitz - The Sweetest Taboo by Harper Miller

All About Harper Miller
Harper Miller is a thirty-something native New Yorker. She’s traveled the world and lived in a variety of places but always finds her way back to the Big Apple.
A lackluster love life leaves time to explore new interests, for Harper it is writing. The Sweetest Taboo is her debut novel. In her mind the perfect Alpha male possesses intellect, humor, and a kinky streak that rivals the size of California.
When she isn’t writing, Harper utilizes her graduate degree in the field of medical research. She enjoys fitness-related activities, drinking copious amounts of wine, and going on bad dates.
I write because book boyfriends are AWESOME! #singleindieauthorproblems
You can also send me a friend request on Facebook. I love befriending fans!

Synopsis
New York City, Late Summer 2009
Like many single women who reside in the city that never sleeps, Micah Foster has had numerous encounters with undesirable men that make her want to renounce love. Just when she’s on the verge of calling it quits in her quest to find love and a sustainable relationship with a Dominant man, her friend Kisa requests her company for a girl’s night out at Spanxxx, a local fetish club. Both Kisa and Micah are seasoned submissive players in the BDSM lifestyle. Micah has been involved in the scene since her early twenties, but she has yet to meet a Dominant she meshes with and takes seriously. Now, at age thirty, she continues to search for a connection that repeatedly eludes her. Under duress, she crosses paths with Dominant Rick Thomas. Unusual and dire circumstances bring the pair together, and he’s exactly what Micah has been searching for.
The Sweetest Taboo is aptly titled. It’s an unconventional erotic love story that provides a different perspective of a relationship involving D/s and BDSM. The reader will follow Micah and Rick’s journey from beginning to end. You’ll laugh, you'll be turned on, and most of all, you’ll find yourself cheering for their love.
*Disclaimer* If rough sex, an interracial pairing (Black woman/White man), D/s, and BDSM are of no interest to you, you should bypass this story. Intended for a mature and kinky audience. Recommended for adults 18+.




Random fun facts about Harper
1. I enjoy porn. *bow chica wow wow*2. I was a professional Dominatrix for a spell. They say write what you know! 3. I'm a pop culture junkie! You'll see a few pop culture references in my novel. I'm full of useless pop culture information and was once a semi-finalist on Who Wants to be a Millionaire.4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my favorite show of all time! #teamAngel5. My favorite movies are: Purple Rain, Desperately Seeking Susan, A Fish Called Wanda, and The Crow 6. I still watch cartoons. Jem and the Holograms is my favorite. It's truly, truly, truly outrageous. 7. I wrote The Sweetest Taboo because I wanted to see an Alpha hero that wasn't a douche! A lot of tales involving BDSM tend to make the hero hard nosed and unlikeable. Rick Thomas completely tosses that ideology aside. He's physically attractive, sensitive, direct, and he's looking for the perfect sub. 8. I went to Catholic school most of my life hehe. The bad girl was always waiting to come out.9. I hate rollercoasters.10. I loveeeee to read and I've missed reading these past few months. My favorite authors are Zadie Smith, Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler, Tess Gerritsen, and Nicci French.


Excerpt: “Afternoon.” I shoved My hands down into the pockets of My lab coat before I did something unprofessional. “Are you all ready to go?”
she nodded. “Yes, Dr. Thomas. The nurse brought my discharge papers a few hours ago. i was just packing my stuff before heading out, but i’m glad You stopped by. i wanted to thank You for Your help.
“i can’t tell You how humbled i am by Your act of kindness. You saved my life, and i will be forever grateful,” she said as her eyes darted around the room, looking everywhere but at Me. she shoved a sweater into her bag with less care than she took with her other clothing.
her words were sincere, but for whatever reason, I must have made her nervous, although I wasn’t sure why. she gathered the plastic bag and her purse before quickly brushing past Me and exiting the room.
This was not how I envisioned things going. I increased My pace and caught up with micah at the nurse’s station. It was all or nothing; I only had a few moments to make an impression.
“ms. foster? micah?” I called out. I composed Myself as I approached her.
she slowed her pace, bid farewell to the nurses, then turned in My direction. I jumped at the opportunity, unable to wait a moment longer. “ms. foster, I was hoping to speak with you before you left. Once you signed the discharge papers, the doctor-patient relationship ended. That means I’m no longer your treating physician and you’re no longer My patient. With that said, I have a question I’d like to ask. Please hear Me out. Don’t take this the wrong way . . .”
her facial expression was unreadable, so I continued.
“I’m not trying to be a creep, but I would regret letting you leave today without at least giving this a fair shot. I sincerely apologize if you feel this is inappropriate or too forward, but ms. foster, I’d love your company for a drink or dinner . . . whichever you’d prefer. Will you allow Me to take you out?”
Waiting for her answer seemed to take an eternity. she didn't look at My face; instead her gaze landed  somewhere around the name embroidered on the left breast pocket of My lab coat. her lower lip found its way between her teeth as she stared, apparently deep in thought. In what seemed to be a delayed reaction, she gawked up at My face, clearly surprised by My question.
Was she put off by the entire idea or just caught off guard by My request? Either way, her answer would let Me know which way she was leaning. I just hoped to God she wasn’t leaning toward no.
she finally provided Me a small reprieve. “You want to take me out?”
“Yes.”
“Like on a date?”
“Yes,” I replied again.
“i’m sorry, Dr. Thomas, but i don’t date,” she said, dismissing Me as she continued toward the elevators.
Oh, she was going to make this interesting. her flippant attitude bothered the hell out of Me, but I was going to see this through. I quickly followed in an attempt to catch her before the elevator doors opened and she walked out of My life.

A lackluster love life leaves time to explore new interests, for Harper it is writing. The Sweetest Taboo is her debut novel. In her mind the perfect Alpha male possesses intellect, humor, and a kinky streak that rivals the size of California.
When she isn’t writing, Harper utilizes her graduate degree in the field of medical research. She enjoys fitness-related activities, drinking copious amounts of wine, and going on bad dates.
