First book was great and so was the cover but this cover, HOLY **** this is the best cover! I love it! First book was about Ani and Sebastian finding each other, the break up of Ani and Jordan’s marriage, this is centered around Sawyer, Ani’s younger sister. The book shares some of book one’s history so dont miss out on book one.

In this novel we learn what makes Sawyer tick. Something about her character just fascinates me. She stops me in my tracks and makes me laugh out loud until I wanna cry. She has little to no filter, says the bold things most only think, and has the best sex life. She was a lesbian or at least she told herself she was. From book one my hot marinara sauce loving seafood man Bobby is back. What is unusual is that Bobby is warm and loving towards Sawyer.i dont miss you

He accepts that she will be with him when she wants and expects nothing. I think what I liked was his attitude towards her. Bobby spoke of his feelings to Sawyer by telling her he would wait for her.

As for Ani and Sebastian…they are thriving. There is animosity between Jordan and Sebastian still. It is explored in the book with results you have to read! The Raffi situation is progressing. She is growing up and seems to adjust to their life together. All of them in the loft living together is perfect!

The Hector’s are back in full force. I think they are great and they sure do deserve a book of their own. As things change and the bakery expands, Bobby moves his fish market and the bakery hires Ginger. Well I have to say she confused me. I know she is there, Ani gives her a job and her ex husband is in jail. I guess she relates to her. She is pregnant too. Just when you think it is bazaar enter Jordan and a heated encounter.

YES book 3

Enough said just read it!

I Know Lucy by Melissa Pearl @MelissaPearlG #NewRelease #spotlight


i know lucy 81cnvbLk78L._SL1500_

 

 

Lucy Tate is on the run. After witnessing the brutal murder of her parents, she’s spent five years in hiding — taking on different personas and faking her way through life. The authorities can’t be trusted, so she remains in the shadows, always one beat ahead of the man who is forever hunting her. That is, until she meets Zach Schultz, a senior at Monte Vista High and the one guy she can’t bear to leave. Suddenly her natural instincts to lie, cheat, and run are overshadowed by something else…the desire to stay and perhaps, love. It’s her one shot at a normal life.

Curious by nature, Zach is immediately drawn to the new girl at school. How can a person look both confident and vulnerable all in the same moment? Determined to figure Lucy out, he sets out to unravel the mystery that is her and soon finds himself caught up in a cat and mouse game. For the first time in his life he is faced with the reality that the truth can no longer set him free…if anything, it’s going to get him killed.

BROKEN by Lauren Layne #Teaser #Reveal and #Cover #Spotlight @_LaurenLayne


BROKEN by Lauren Layne

Flirt New Adult Romance

On sale: September 2, 2014

ISBN: 978-0-553-39035-3

 

About the book:

Lauren Layne’s heart-wrenching novel tells the story of a girl with secrets, a guy with scars, and a love that could save them both . . . or destroy them.

When Olivia Middleton abandons the glamour of Park Avenue for a remote, coastal town in Maine, everyone assumes she’s being the kind do-gooder she’s always been. But Olivia has a secret: helping an injured war veteran reenter society isn’t about charity—it’s about penance. Only, Olivia’s client isn’t the grateful elderly man she’s expecting. Instead, he’s a brooding twenty-four-year-old who has no intention of being Olivia’s path to redemption . . . and whose smoldering gaze and forbidden touch might be her undoing.

Paul Langdon doesn’t need a mirror to show him he’s no longer the hotshot quarterback he was before the war. He knows he’s ugly—inside and out. He’ll do anything to stay in self-imposed exile, even accept his father’s ultimatum that Paul tolerate the newest caretaker for three months or lose his inheritance. But Paul doesn’t count on the beautiful twenty-two-year-old who makes him long for things that he can never have. And the more she slips past his defenses, the more keeping his distance is impossible.

Now Paul and Olivia have to decide: Will they help each other heal? Or are they forever broken?

 

** Teaser Reveal!**

 

Olivia squirms. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I’ve never known a female to acquiesce that easily without a catch. How about you hit me with it now and get it over with?”

Olivia shrugs. “Fine. I was going to say that I won’t run alone, if you promise to go with me.”

“No,” I say, almost before she’s finished her sentence.

“Why not?”

I rap my cane once against the ground. “Well, for starters, despite the fact that there are tortoises that could surpass your sorry excuse for a jog, I’m in no shape to accompany even the most pathetic of runners.”

“What a handy skill you have of overloading a sentence with insults,” she says as she reaches up to adjust her ponytail. “That must be helpful what with your thriving social life and all.”

I thump my cane against the ground again, studying her. “Must be nice, picking on the cripple.”

Olivia rolls her eyes. “Please. Your soul’s more crippled than your leg.”

She has no idea how right she is, and I have no intention of letting her anywhere close enough to find out. I’ve gotten good at shutting people out by pushing them away . . . being as nasty as possible until they reach their breaking point. But with her? It’s different.

We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of BROKEN by Lauren Layne! Love everything Lauren Layne? Her newest adult contemporary romance in the Sex, Love and Stiletto series, JUST ONE NIGHT, is on sale now!

She only wanted to do something normal for once, and maybe get to know her best friend’s hot stepbrother a bit better at the same time.But the first day she goes out on the ocean, strange things start to happen. Dangerous things that should be impossible. Things to which ‘normal’ doesn’t even begin to apply.

Now madmen are hunting her. A mysterious guy with glowing blue eyes is following her. And her best friend’s stepbrother seems to be hiding secrets all his own. It was supposed to be a vacation. It’s turning out to be a whole lot more.

The Sweet Spot by Ariel Ellman #review @ArielEllman


First this is the best cover! I am in love with it! For the book it was just fantastic! Seriously the entire scenario between our three main characters couldn’t have been written better. Ani being semi happy married to Jordan seemed so cliche for about a minute. As the story unfolds and we learn Sebastian is back all I can say is bring on the angst. His story of prison was a sad one. What was worse than the reason he was in prison? The fact that he DOES explain his reasons for passing up parole. What a man! I can’t describe how I was cheering for this author just for writing him in the light she did. It is NOT typical at all.

Now Ani has to choose between the love that she has for her husband Jordan, a handsome and successful pediatric neurosurgeon, and the love for Sebastian that she has never been able to let go of.

So Ani is married to Jordan and they have a give who is 9 named Raphael. The story for them and their daughter is  love story. Jordan, although older by 15 years, was perfect for Ani. When Jordan reaches a low, the character remembers little pieces of their time together, and realizes something was always missing.  I was so torn between the two men.

Too good not to post over and over again

Who was the other star of the book? Sawyer! Ani has the best sister in the universe. I love her! Everyone needs a lesbian sister like Sawyer. She had the best lines in the book. It was a wonderful way to give a little lighthearted humor in a very serious circumstance. They shared a bond even though there was an age difference. What was funny to me was how the author describes childhood memories of Sawyer and Ani. As adults whether right or wrong Sawyer backed Ani 100%.

Another character that spoke to me was Liam, Sebastian’s dad. it is a little spoiler but, I must call attention to the way he cared for his son. This man has suffered great loss. He is overall a fairly wise and happy man. What I liked was the fact that the author writes him in a completely forgiving light. His son was in prison, when he returns, Liam welcomes him. He knew that he raised a unique boy who was delivered a punishment, suffered the consequences, and learned from it. Also while Sebastian was away he made use of his time becoming a very educated man.

Believe me when I say it is not your typical contemporary romance. It is a story to be savored, read, enjoyed and most of all shared! If you love it tell someone. New authors like Ariel Ellman need the fans to speak for them. If you read it, write an Amazon review, let the author know she has someone rooting for her success.

Shadow Heart by Pamela Taeuffer @Ptaeufferauthor #spotlight


taeuffer 04 23 14

New Contemporary Romance Novel – Shadow Heart

HEALDSBURG, CA – Author Pamela Taeuffer has released Shadow Heart, a slow, sensual, romance novel that explores the trauma of growing up with feelings of deep abandonment because of an alcoholic father who has chosen a bottle of alcohol over his family. This novel shows the reader how a woman coming of age begins to question why she is not comfortable with relationships of any kind – friends, family, and the intimacy she craves so deeply.

Nobody wants to talk about them, but there are events that occur in our lives that become deep dark secrets we hold inside. And they dramatically influence who we are and who we become.

Such is the case for seventeen year-old Nicky Young who was raised by an alcoholic father and disengaged mother. When Nicky tries to make her way into the world she is confronted by the demons of her dysfunctional and sometimes violent upbringing.

Unlike many of her friends, she has shied away from boys, makeup, and clothes, instead focusing on achievement and her goal of getting into Stanford. But when Nicky meets Ryan Tilton, a sexy, high profile professional baseball player eight years her senior, a strong desire is awakened in her.

Nicky questions Ryan’s motives for wanting to be with an inexperienced girl. Is he a scoundrel or does he genuinely care about her? Nicky is both excited and frightened, torn between protecting her heart and wanting to trust. Ryan brings his own demons — losing his father at the age of fourteen, and a sexual partner from his past who will not leave him alone.

Will their young, uncertain love be enough to help them open their hearts and experience intimacy they both crave so deeply or are Nicky and Ryan on a collision course?

Loosely based on the author’s life growing up in San Francisco, this inspired contemporary romance novel deals with the disturbing secrets siblings share, the dance between love and protecting one’s heart, and the innate desire to connect with another even when it means risking everything.

Can she ever open her heart to another?
Will she ever be able to trust intimacy?
The relationships she struggles with, can she trust them?
Or will she be left all over again, shutting down her heart forever?

Shadow Heart: An inspired contemporary romance novel that deals with the disturbing secrets siblings share, the dance between love and protecting one’s heart, and the innate desire to connect with another even when it means risking everything.

About the book:
Shadow Heart by Pamela Taeuffer
ISBN: 978-0989952903
Publisher: Open Heart Press
Date of publish: February 2014
Pages: 318
S.R.P.: $14.95

About the author:
Because she was raised in a family battling alcoholism, she understands trauma and being in survival mode every day, affecting each choice they make and the relationships they form. Sharing this dysfunctional way of growing up is the very core of Shadow Heart, the first novel of her Broken Bottles Series, honest and truly revealing, with the message of an open and hopeful heart.

A believer that life changing events happen only if we risk everything and step out of our shadows, through this intimate and beautiful love story, Ms. Taeuffer shows how we can stop the generations of addiction and recover by being vulnerable and seeking intimacy in all relationships.

Ms. Taeuffer has more than twenty novels being published now and in the future including a series on being introverted and another about loving and respecting our bodies, however they may be.
