Cover Reveal- The Moment We Fell by Kelli Warner



The Moment We Fell
By Kelli Warner
Genre: YA Contemporary Romance
Release Date: June 25th 2019
Wave Runner Publishing

Summary:

Nothing good happens when people keep secrets.

Paige Bryant’s dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer died along with her mother. Drowning in grief and plagued by guilt, Paige is blindsided by a provision in her mother’s will that sends her to live with the father she never knew. Forced to start over in a new town and at a new school where she's now the principal's daughter, Paige is convinced that her life can’t possibly get more complicated—until fate throws her into the path of the only boy her guardian tells her is off-limits.

Despite two years on the straight and narrow, Cade Matthews can’t escape his time as a juvenile delinquent. With his dad behind bars, Cade’s feelings of anger and betrayal are as relentless as the rumors he’s trying to outrun. The only person not listening to the gossip is the new girl with her own set of troubles, including a father who will never give Cade a fair shake.

As Paige tries to adjust to her new life and an uncertain future, a set of unopened journals reveals a dark family secret. When tensions rise to a boiling point, can Paige and Cade make peace with the past before it destroys them?



Kelli Warner writes humorous and relatable young adult and contemporary romance novels, the kind of stories that get your insides so wound up in an ooey gooey mess that you forget about the un-fun stuff in life. She's passionate for a good cup of coffee (even a bad one on a desperate day), enjoying time with friends and family, and spending lazy Saturday mornings watching the Food Network. Kelli and her husband live in Oregon with their two teenaged children and an outstanding border collie named Lucy.

Review- I Only Have Eyes For You by Bella Andre

Summary-

In I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU, Sophie Sullivan, a librarian in San Francisco, was five years old when she fell head over heels in love with Jake McCann. Twenty years later, she's convinced the notorious bad boy still sees her as the "nice" Sullivan twin. That is, when he bothers to look at her at all. But when they both get caught up in the magic of the first Sullivan wedding, she knows it's long past time to do whatever it takes to make him see her for who she truly is...the woman who will love him forever.


Jake has always been a magnet for women, especially since his Irish pubs made him extremely wealthy. But the only woman he really wants is the one he can never have. Not only is Sophie his best friend's off-limits younger sister...he can't risk letting her get close enough to discover his deeply hidden secret.

Only, when Sophie appears on his doorstep as Jake's every fantasy come to life--smart, beautiful, and shockingly sexy--he doesn't have a prayer of taking his eyes, or his hands, off her. And he can't stop craving more of her sweet smiles and sinful kisses. Because even though Jake knows loving Sophie isn't the right thing to do...how can he possibly resist?

Review-

Finally I got to I Only Have Eyes For You. This is Sophie and Jake's story and the fourth book in Bella Andre's Sullivans series. I have to say I was pretty excited for this book because I always enjoy good girl bad boy romances. Add to that these two people shared so much history it made things all the more interesting.


Sophie Sullivan is one half of the youngest Sullivans. She is the "nice" twin. Sophie has always been a good girl, lost in her world of books. With a family of such over achievers she has felt a little out of place but she doesn't mind being in the back ground. If only Jake could see her as more than his best friend's little sister. I really liked Sophie. She was sweet and so in love with Jake since the beginning. But she could get a little judge mental at times which I didn't like.

Then we have Jake. Now this guy has such a messed up past. He doesn't believe in love or relationships. With a shitty child hood he is grateful for all that the Sullivans have done for him and he is not going to ruin that by sleeping with pure, sweet Sophie. I always love a hero who thinks he is undeserving of the heroine and Jake was a classic example of that.


I loved the chemistry Jake and Sophie shared. They had a bond of friendship and understanding. Though Jake didn't want to go into depth with his feelings with Sophie he couldn't help but fall for her. I am not always a fan of these kind of plots but it worked for Sophie and Jake's story because Jake needed the push or he would have never acted on his feelings.


I loved how protective the entire Sullivans clan was of Sophie. We actually get to see everyone in the book including how the couples from the previous books are doing. This series can get a bit repetitive with the sweet romance plot it has going on so I suggest reading the books spaced out, in between other reads. I really enjoyed I Only Have Eyes For You.

Release Day Blitz- Rescuing Macie by Susan Stoker

 

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Susan Stoker, comes RESCUING MACIE, a passionate and thrilling novella from the Delta Force Heroes Series, brought to you by 1,001 Dark Nights! Grab your copy today!

 

About RESCUING MACIE:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Susan Stoker comes a new story in her Delta Force Heroes series…

After years of estrangement, Mercedes Laughlin has finally reconciled with her older brother. It should be the happiest time of her life, getting to know Truck and his new wife…and it would be, if an ex wasn’t causing her trouble. Add in Truck’s boss, Colonel Colton Robinson, an amazingly distracting man whom she met under embarrassing circumstances, and Macie’s got a bit more on her plate than she can handle.

From the moment they met, Colt was fascinated by Macie, and helping her through an anxiety attack at her brother’s wedding didn’t diminish the appeal. He’d do his best to sweep her off her feet, if not for a little voice telling him to tread lightly—until a frantic phone call changes the plan. Macie’s being targeted, and Colt’s determined to keep her safe while he and her brother eliminate the threat.

Colt isn’t about to let his friend lose his sister again so soon…or miss his own chance at a happy ending with Macie before they’ve barely had a beginning.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

  EXCERPT: Macie had no idea what Colt was doing with her brother at two-thirty in the morning, but she couldn’t deny that she was extremely grateful. She didn’t even flinch when Colt called her brother Truck. He’d apparently been given the nickname when he’d joined the Army. She was trying to remember to call him that, but because he’d been Ford to her as long as she could remember, it was tough. And as much as she knew her brother would’ve helped her, hearing Colt’s steady voice kept her grounded. She remembered after Truck’s wedding, when she’d been having an anxiety attack, he’d held her against him and talked to her in his low, rumbly voice. How much it had helped. He’d calmed her and helped pull her out of the dark place her mind had gone. The same was happening tonight. She’d been panicking and running headlong through the parking lot, with no idea what to do or where to go, when he’d forced her to pay attention to her surroundings. He gave her something to concentrate on, and it felt good to let him take over and tell her what to do. She had no idea why he hadn’t called her after her brother’s wedding. He’d asked her out and she’d badly wanted to spend more time with him, but he hadn’t called. Hadn’t gotten in touch with her. His rejection had hurt, but she really wasn’t surprised. She was a pain in the ass and no one as amazing as Colt would want to be with her. At the moment, however, she had more pressing issues to think about. Looking back toward the building, Macie didn’t see any sign of the men who’d broken into her apartment, but she could hear their footsteps. Macie ducked behind a car and dropped to her knees. She winced but ignored the pain and crawled between a row of cars, making sure to stay out of sight. Then she lay down on her belly and crawled under one of the cars in the lot. She was wearing a tight tank top and her sleep shorts, because she hated to feel constricted by clothing when she slept. “Macie?” Colt asked. She opened her mouth to respond when she heard one of the men saying to his friend, “She has to be this way. We’ve checked all the other cars.” It felt like she was having a heart attack. Her chest was tight and she couldn’t get enough air into her lungs. But she couldn’t gasp for oxygen because they’d hear her. Macie mentally berated herself for calling her brother and not the police. If she’d called 9-1-1, they’d probably be here by now.

Exclusive Excerpt:

“Don’t make me say goodbye yet.” He sounded so fractured that it tore her apart. She could deny him nothing. Especially when she desired the same. But one of these days, they’d have to be strong enough to walk away from each other. Because she refused to live in this world without Issac Wakefield. Today doesn’t have to be that day. Another week. Month. “We have to be careful,” she said, her fingers threading through his hair. “Far more careful than we’ve been.” He nodded. “Yes.” She nodded, too. “Not yet, then.” “Not yet,” he repeated, his shoulders relaxing while his grip remained firm. “Not yet.” He said the words several more times, sounding less and less sure with every breath. But Stas refused to hear the doubt creeping in, refused to acknowledge the sense of foreboding settling over her, and instead chose to live in the moment. With her Issac. Her love. Her always.   About Lexi C. Foss: Lexi C. Foss is an award winning and bestselling author of paranormal romance.

Review- Beautiful Player by Christina Lauren

Summary-

A bombshell bookworm. A chronic Casanova. And a lesson in chemistry too scandalous for school.


When Hanna Bergstrom receives a lecture from her overprotective brother about neglecting her social life and burying herself in grad school, she’s determined to tackle his implied assignment: get out, make friends, start dating. And who better to turn her into the sultry siren every man wants than her brother’s gorgeous best friend, Will Sumner, venture capitalist and unapologetic playboy?

Will takes risks for a living, but he’s skeptical about this challenge of Hanna’s…until the wild night his innocently seductive pupil tempts him into bed- and teaches him a thing or two about being with a woman he can’t forget. Now that Hanna’s discovered the power of her own sex appeal, it’s up to Will to prove he’s the only man she’ll ever need.


Release date: October 29th, 2013
Published by: Gallery Books
Page numbers: 432


Review-

Beautiful Player is the third full length novel in Christina Lauren's Beautiful Bastard series. This series has been steadily improving since the first book and as we go ahead I am totally getting invested in all the characters and their lives. I have to admit, Beautiful Player was the best book in the entire series till date. It had everything you could ask for in a hot romance.


Hanna is a scientist. Her social life has been zero lately so her brother asks her to get Will's help to improve it. Hanna was a different heroine. She wasn't afraid to ask for what she wanted and she was very straightforward which ended up being pretty funny. If there is anything I didn't like about Hanna was that she judged Will really quickly and didn't see how different he was with her.


Then we have Will. Despite being a player Will was one of the nicest heroes I've read about. Hanna is like a breath of fresh air for Will and after being a ladies man for so long he is ready for a real relationship. Again, Will was overall awesome but the thing that irritated me about him is that he wasn't as open with Hanna about what he wanted despite saying over and over again how he has been clear with his past girlfriends, if you could even call them that.

Will and Hanna shared really great chemistry. I enjoyed all the conversations they had. They were really nerdy and fun and adorable. The misunderstanding they had was really silly I felt and after they had shared so much with each other it could have been resolved more easily but wasn't. Plus the whole friends with benefits thing was kinda reused.


I really loved getting to see Hanna's family and the bond Will shared with them. Simultaneously, I also loved getting to see Bennett and Chloe and Max and Sara and how they were always there for Will, pulling his leg. This book was filled with hilarious situations which made me fly through the pages. Beautiful Player was a great addition to the series.

CHICAGO 
AUGUST 2001 

I run into him at Dominick’s, of all places. I’m poking around in the freezer case, searching for the strawberries I put in my morning smoothie, when a man’s voice somewhere off to my right says, “Annika?” He sounds unsure.

About Brey King

BREY KING – My life as a passionate writer has been hanging around for a while. However, in 2015, I took the leap and self-publishing my first book. I’m so glad that I did because the characters from my books have come to life for me and my readers.
Key to my writing technique is being open to where my characters lead me when I create my ideal writing environment. I love to build in humor that actually makes you laugh out loud along with a little bit of drama spice. The funnier and dramatic I can make my characters, the better for my books.
My hope is that you will check out my books as they become available and then support me by leaving a review. Your feedback and comments are important to me!
