SYNOPSIS


Nathan

Right now Clarissa, our tour guide, is talking about prehistoric cave paintings.

In a moment, she’ll point at the mammoth… Wait for it….

“Look at the mammoth on your right,” she says.

Told ya! I’ve done her tour six times in two months.

Everyone gawks at the mammoth.

My eyes stay trained on Clarissa’s lovely face.

After the tour, I’ll ask her out, fully expecting her to say no.

I mean, why would a hotshot Parisian archeologist go on a date with a dairy farmer from the sticks?

But I need to hear Clarissa’s no.

Maybe then I’ll be able to forget her.


Clarissa

Nathan, aka Cowboy, is here again. Staring at me again.

I ignore him.

Just as I’ve ignored the hot, disturbing dreams I’ve been having lately.

Dreams in which a handsome cowboy undresses me.

Kisses me.

Pleasures me into oblivion.

Crazy dreams!

In real life, I’m going back to Paris to start a new job in a big museum.

The one thing I don’t need during my last week in Burgundy is a roll in the hay with Nathan.

Even if that roll turns out to be better than my craziest dreams…


QUESTION:

What happens when a cowboy and a bluestocking get stranded in a cave with a 40,000-year-old co— er… phallus drawn on the wall?

ANSWER:

A sizzling-hot and hilarious romance, that’s what. You’ll giggle, you’ll fan yourself, and you’ll keep turning pages until the happy end!

Pursue Blurb


I found my Queen, but I'm no King.  


Ivy Johnson is my complete opposite; kind and innocent with a white picket fence lifestyle. 

Yet somehow when we’re together, she makes me whole. Her cheeky grin and contagious laughter, a balm to the way I viewed life. She brought color to my lifeless world. 

We had it all, a beautiful and carefree beginning. Something amazing was building between us, something real. 

But one fucked-up accident ruined it all. Then the world started fighting against us. Pursuing me and my family at every turn. Not even my past was off-limits. 


We held strong, like a hundred-year-old tree staring down a hurricane. Until…Ivy ruined it all. 


The pain in her eyes. The tears which spilled.

I despised Ivy more than I hated my memories. 


The fear evident in her eyes, the knowledge I’d given up fighting for us.

Hate sprung from love, an endless supply of fire, both created from my heart.


All my nightmares and fears had scorched me from the inside out.

I promised myself, my heart would heal and learn to beat without her. 


I never wanted it to end this way. My dream was to look back one day and say I loved her right. Instead, I’ll be the reason she loses the only family she has left. And nothing will stop me as I choke on memories of the past and stay trapped in the recess of my mind, spiraling out of control. 


Blinded by my weaknesses, fate raises her ugly head and proves nothing is guaranteed in this world, not even the life of the ones we love.

by Lauren Hawkeye Uninhibited #1 Publication Date: July 3, 2017 Genres: Adult, Entangled: Scorched, Serial, Contemporary, Erotic, Romance

BUY:

SYNOPSIS:

Celebrity archaeologist Cari Dunn is so over the Georgia heat, the red tape at her dig site, and the threatening messages left on her motel door. She just wants to dig, and the network just wants to keep her safe—with a bodyguard. She can’t complain. Jasper Benjamin radiates raw masculinity that penetrates her to the core and ignites passion she’s never felt. Too bad for him, she’s not going to be easy to handle. Lusting after the bodyguard shouldn’t be so tempting, especially when her life is on the line. goodreads-badge-add-38px

ABOUT LAUREN HAWKEYE

New York Time and USA Today bestselling author Lauren Hawkeye never imagined that she’d wind up telling stories for a living… though when she looks back, it’s easy to see that she’s the only one who is surprised. Always “the kid who read all the time”, Lauren made up stories about her favorite characters once she’d finished a book… and once spent an entire year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where she was just plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have an artistic temperament. Lauren lives in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada with her husband, two young sons, pit bull and two idiot cats, though they do not live in an igloo, nor do they drive a dogsled. In her nonexistent spare time Lauren can be found knitting, reading anything she can get her hands on, or sweating her way through spin class. She loves to hear from her readers!

COVER REVEAL: Loving Kyle by Kasey Millstead




Title: Loving Kyle
Author: Kasey Millstead
Genre: Military Romance
Release Date: July 20, 2017



Blurb

The tough times don’t define you.  It’s how you respond to them that does.

Liv
Six years ago, my world was turned upside down with the ring of my phone and a gravelly voice on the other end.  For months afterward, I felt like I surely wouldn’t make it through another day.   Then my daughter was born.  A bundle of joy, bright enough to light my dreary days, with a glow that warmed my aching heart.   I’ve lived for her ever since.
As I stand here, staring at the man who looks so much like him, but is still so different, I find myself contemplating living for me, just for a little while…

Kyle
Honorably discharged from the army after five tours to Afghanistan, I’m back in my home town and working as a Basic Combat Training instructor.
Falling in love with Liv was never part of the plan, but as time goes by and wounds are healed, the wall erected between us slowly starts to crumble.  But Liv isn’t the type to give in easily.  Then I remember I’m an American soldier.
I will never accept defeat.  I will never quit.
It’s time she realized she’s mine.

“Deep down, I know two things for sure.  One, my heart, head and gut all direct me to Kyle.  Two, I’m going to continue ignoring them.”

COVER REVEAL: Hear Me Out by Lila Rose

Fear keeps the truth away from his brothers. Fear and pain keeps him away from the man he loves.
Title: Hear Me Out
Author: Lila Rose
Series: Hawks MC Caroline Springs Charter #5
Genre: MC M/M Romance
Editor: Hot Tree Editing
Release Date: August 8th
Hawks MC member Maddox “Beast” Lawson had a difficult time growing up. Tired of being ridiculed because of his effed-up brain-to-mouth connection, it was easier to say nothing at all. Living in silence worked out just fine until that b*tch called Fate took his hearing, not only that, but she also threw him into the arms of the man who refuses to acknowledge that one hot night they shared.

Jay Conger, Knife to his brothers, loves pussy. Licking, fingering, screwing, he’ll take it any way it’s offered. After one surprising night with Beast, to say he’s freaked out is an understatement. Hell, even bananas have taken on a new meaning, and thinking about a certain someone’s body is too much. Unable to think straight, Knife is at an impasse, not only with his traitorous desire but with his heart. 

Both lives are going to change. Only will it be for the better?

Release Date: August 18, 2017



Blurb

When a marriage of convenience turns into the passion of a lifetime…

Holden “Havoc” Thompson

My job as the leader of the Moonshine Task Force is my life. I eat, breathe, and sleep it. The men under my command mean the world to me. Knowing they count on my guidance has kept my demons at bay for longer than I care to admit.

The control I have over myself is an iron fist that sometimes threatens to squeeze the life out of me. What I want more than anything is to live again – let go of the hurt smothering every bit of light I have in this darkness.

I don’t expect it to come in the form of a Moonshiner’s daughter needing my protection.

Leighton Strather

My whole life has been defined by who my family is. In the state of Alabama, we’re number one with a target on our backs. The danger and prestige isn’t for me. I don’t care about the money, and I care too much about the families we’ve ruined.

My brother and my dad are proud of it. They wear their arrest records like a badge of honor. Me? I want as far away from the lifestyle as I can get.

It’s the only reason I ask Holden to marry me. At least that's what I tell myself.

I never expect his whispered yes to cause such upheaval in my life. Even though I resist, I learn some havoc is good – and this one? It’s a whirlwind of lust, hope, and love and all I can do is let it sweep me away.

REVIEW BLITZ: The Catch by K. Bromberg

      After an unexpected twist of fate, All-Star catcher Easton Wylder is left questioning the loyalty of everyone around him. Even the woman who shares his bed, Scout Dalton. But if Easton thought being uprooted to the last place he expected was the only challenge life had to throw at him, he was dead wrong. With an ailing shoulder and his career in limbo, his decision to make an unexpected change leads him to question everything – Scout’s love, family loyalties, and whether he can conquer the one obstacle he’s never been able to overcome. The secret he’s never shared with anyone. He may be a man pushed to his limits, but he’s hell-bent on proving his worth no matter the cost.
