Release Blitz for Ripple Effect by Keri Lake

 

 

 

Title: Ripple Effect
Author: Keri Lake
Genre: Dark Erotic Romance
Release Date: July 25, 2017
Blurb
RipleyThey call me RIP.

I’m a killer. A murderer. A psychopath.

In the eyes of the righteous, I’m a monster, born of sin and depravity.

I want to protect her, but I’m not a good man.

I want to love her, but I no longer feel.

She gets under my skin, though, and has awakened something inside of me.

Something I’d kill for.

I’m not her savior—not even close. In fact, I’m worse than the hell she’s
already suffered.

I’m her vengeance. Tit for tat, as they say.

And if she’s not careful, I’ll be her ruin.

Dylan

For months, I’ve watched him.

I’ve fantasized him as my savior, my lover. My ticket out of the hell I’ve
lived in for the last six years.

I never dreamed he’d be my nightmare.

Had I known what he really is, I’d have never gotten in the car that night, but
life is full of cause and effect.

And sometimes the choice on offer isn’t a choice at all.

It’s the result of something already in motion, and we’re merely left to
survive the ripple effect.

Review: Wintersong by S. Jae- Jones

24763621

All her life, nineteen-year-old Liesl has heard tales of the beautiful, mysterious Goblin King. He is the Lord of Mischief, the Ruler Underground, and the muse around which her music is composed. Yet, as Liesl helps shoulder the burden of running her family’s inn, her dreams of composition and childish fancies about the Goblin King must be set aside in favor of more practical concerns.

But when her sister Käthe is taken by the goblins, Liesl journeys to their realm to rescue her sister and return her to the world above. The Goblin King agrees to let Käthe go—for a price. The life of a maiden must be given to the land, in accordance with the old laws. A life for a life, he says. Without sacrifice, nothing good can grow. Without death, there can be no rebirth. In exchange for her sister’s freedom, Liesl offers her hand in marriage to the Goblin King. He accepts.

Down in the Underground, Liesl discovers that the Goblin King still inspires her—musically, physically, emotionally. Yet even as her talent blossoms, Liesl’s life is slowly fading away, the price she paid for becoming the Goblin King’s bride. As the two of them grow closer, they must learn just what it is they are each willing to sacrifice: her life, her music, or the end of the world.

Title: Wintersong
Author: S. Jae-Jones
Category: Dark Fantasy, Romance
Series or Standalone: Part of a duet, Book #1
POV: First Person, Heroine’s POV
Plot: 5+++
Characters: 5+++
Scorching Level: 5+++
HEA: Um…hello. Not telling.

AMAZING. I cannot believe I waited this long to read this book! The ratings had me hesitating but I am glad I followed my gut.
Different, unique and most importantly, with a heroine that wasn’t perfect or whiney. Nope. Elisabeth was a character I felt deeply connected to. Her love for her family, for her music and her bravery to venture Underground to rescue her sister, made her a kick ass heroine for me!
What happens when your sister is lured into the Undeground by the Goblin King? Elisabeth grew up in the Goblin Grove, surrounded by tales about the King of Mischief. When she has to enter his world in order to save her sister, she will realise that everything comes with a sacrifice.
But what if her sister was just the bait?
Bound to be the Goblin King’s bride, Elisabeth must learn to survive and handle the mysterious and enthralling Lord of the Undeground.
But what does he really want? With nothing but her music and her love for her family to guide her, she must find a way to stay alive. She will also find herself; Elisabeth, who had learned to bury her talent and hide behind the shadows of her perfect siblings will find herself at the spotlight. And it is dangerous to have the Goblin King’s attention.
I loved these characters. Such romanticism and wonderful settings.
As I read, I could actually see the curious world of the goblins unfold right in front of me. Changlings, hobgoblins, goblin wine and a male protagonist that is unique and addicting!
Don’t let me start on the twists and turns you won’t see coming! I loved that this book ‘s main character was music and how it drove our characters.
I wasn’t ready for this book to end and when it did, I felt bereft. I cannot wait for the second book! Is it 2018 yet???

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK
“Tell me you don’t love me. Tell me you don’t wish it were me who held you in their arms. Tell me you don’t want me to kiss you right now, yeah? Touch you, take you to our bed and make sweet fuckin’ love to all night long, until there isn’t an inch of your skin I haven’t kissed, licked, or touched. Tell me you don’t feel me,” he whimpered, placing his hand over my heart, “here.”  “Creed,” I whispered in a voice I didn’t recognize. Trying to reel in my feelings, hide the fact that he still had an effect on me.  After all this time.  “Tell me any of that, and I swear I’ll leave you alone, cuz at the end of the day… All I ever wanted was for you to be happy, and if that’s not wit’ me, then at least I have the memory of the love of my fuckin’ life.” He placed his forehead on mine, bringing his hands up to frame my face again. “Say the words, babe,” he groaned in a tone that made my stomach flutter and my body warm. His mouth so close to mine that I could feel him breathe on me. The smell of cigarettes and mint took over my senses. As if he was testing me, he licked his lips slowly, provoking me. Proving that he was right. I shut my eyes. I had to. The realization was too hard to admit, and I knew he could see it in my gaze.  He knew me. “Creed,” I panted, my breathing mimicking his. “Please…”  “Please what, baby?” he rasped as if he was hanging on by a thread.
Waiting for me to say the magic words that would set us both free.

Sale Blitz for Random Acts of Trust by Julia Kent

 

 

 

Title: Random Acts of Trust
Series: Random #2
Author: Julia Kent
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: December 25, 2013

 

Blurb
Giving up is hard…but giving in is even harder. When did my life become a demented episode from The Mindy Project?

Moving to Boston to begin grad school meant I was supposed to start a new life
— not dig through a past I thought I’d left behind four years ago. But when I
saw the poster for Random Acts of Crazy, all I could think about was the
drummer, Sam Hinton, the boy I’d loved in high school and who disappeared with
my heart.

Who knew I’d become the living version of Magic Mike?

Seeing Amy Smithson at my gig and watching her win a kiss from my bandmate,
Liam, was a gut punch. Four years ago we squared off in a high school debate
that had higher stakes than we ever imagined, and here I was…wanting what I’d
walked away from. Are there too many secrets between us to allow her to trust
me again?

And can I trust myself?

The second book in the Random series after the wildly successful New
York Times and USA Todaybestseller Random Acts of
Crazy, Random Acts of Trust is a rockstar romance/romantic
comedy that explores the love between one man, one woman, and ends with one
Happily Ever After (and no cliffhangers or chickens!). Fate took their lives by
storm four years ago and put an unbreachable gulf between Sam and Amy. This
novel asks: Can time really heal all wounds…or are some scars too deep?

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER OF UGLY AND MISTRUST
**Write something worth reading**I’m Margaret and I’m a self-published author.

Recently I was fortunate in obtaining New York Times best selling status on my YA/NA book – Ugly, and my YA book – Mistrust.My last three books have been YA and I’m completely in love with the genre. I love being able to communicate with people through my words and stories.

My writing genres all differ, but the one thing I keep consistent is my heroines. All my female lead characters are strong, gutsy and not the ‘perfect’ woman. While my books all have romantic elements in them, they aren’t just about the romance. They’re about finding strength, acceptance and making life long connections.

I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have while writing them.

Nora Randolph never wanted a life of luxury. But when her

The son of London’s most influential family, his future has been written in

Twenty-five books later, Katy claims authorship of the multi-titled, New York Times and USA Today Blueberry Lane Series, which follows the English, Winslow, Rousseau, Story, and Ambler families of Philadelphia; the six-book, bestselling ~a modern fairytale~ series; and several other standalone novels and novellas.
Katy’s first modern fairytale romance, The Vixen and the Vet, was nominated for a RITA® in 2015 and won the 2015 Kindle Book Award for romance. Katy’s boxed set, The English Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1–4, hit the USA Today bestseller list in 2015, and her Christmas story, Marrying Mr. English, appeared on the list a week later.

Katy lives in the relative wilds of northern Fairfield County, Connecticut, where her writing room looks out at the woods, and her husband, two young children, two dogs, and one Blue Tonkinese kitten create just enough cheerful chaos to remind her that the very best love stories begin at home.

Cover Reveal From Penelope Ward

We are excited to bring you the upcoming standalone from New York Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling author Penelope Ward.

 DRUNK DIAL will release on AUGUST 21!

 

 

Cover designer: Letitia Hasser, RBA designs
Cover Model: Vadim Ivanov
Cover Photography: Kevin Roldan

 

 

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel.

 It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him.

Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions.

I didn’t think he’d call me back.

I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become.

Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. And he had his own secrets.

Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake.

A complete STANDALONE.
