Retreat by Jay Crownover is a must read!!!
I absolutely LOVED this book. Jay knows how to draw you in from the very beginning with her characters, and they don't let you go - even at the end of the book. I was a little annoyed with Leo in the beginning but I was proud of her that she overcame and ended up as a strong heroine. The same could probably be said for Cyrus to a certain extent too. One of my favorite things about Jay's books is how easy it is to connect with her characters in some way. I see a little of myself in Leo, and a little of myself in Emrys. Jay creates this vivid world that's a story, but isn't so far gone that it couldn't be real too. LOVED Retreat and I cannot wait for Em's book!

COVER REVEAL!! Salvaged by Jay Crownover
About SALVAGED
Hudson Wheeler is a nice guy. Everyone knows it, including his fiancée who left him with a canceled wedding and a baby on the way. He’s tired of finishing last and is ready to start living in the moment with nights soaked in whiskey, fast cars, and even faster girls. He’s set to start living on the edge, but when he meets Poppy Cruz, her sad eyes in the most gorgeous face he’s ever seen hook him in right away. Wheeler can see Poppy’s pain and all he wants to do is take care of her and make her smile, whatever it takes.
Poppy can’t remember a time when she didn’t see strangers as the enemy. After a lifetime of being hurt from the men who swore to protect her, Poppy’s determined to keep herself safe by keeping everyone else at arm’s length. Wheeler’s sexy grin and rough hands from hours restoring classic cars shouldn’t captivate her, but every time she’s with him, she can’t help being pulled closer to him. Though she’s terrified to trust again, Poppy soon realizes it might hurt even more to shut Wheeler out—and the intense feelings pulsing through her are making it near impossible to resist him.
The only thing Poppy is sure of is that her heart is in need of some serious repair, and the more time she spends with Wheeler, the more she’s convinced he’s the only man with the tools to fix it.

Riddick by Kathy Coopmans is NOW LIVE!
Riddick by Kathy Coopmans is NOW LIVE!
Are you ready?
Blurb
She told me Heaven would knock on my door
one day.
That I would be swept away from the hell
I lived in.
She was right about one thing and so
wrong about the other.
Heaven came in the form of an angel just
like she said.
Beautiful.
Perfect.
An angel.
And then.
My life became hell.
She disappeared. Vanished.
I left. Went to war. Killed. All for her.
Every face was the man who took her.
Every dream filled with her.
For twelve years I existed in hell.
Breathed in the fires from down below.
Until her, the woman on the beach outside
of my home.
Captivating.
Enchanting.
Mesmerizing.
It couldn't be my Cora, my angel, my
heaven on earth.
She was dead.
Wasn't she?
Excerpt
Jesse’s threats
should make me want to shut my mouth; they don’t. I’ll make all the noise in
the world to find out why I feel like I’m being dragged to my death. Oh God,
please tell me they do not know!
Without warning, Cutter grips me by my hair, yanking me
out of my spot in the corner. My backside is landing on the rough gravel with a
solid thud. The sharp stones are penetrating through the flesh on my back. I
scream out in agony as this man bores his fingers into my cheeks, digging into
my skin enough to draw blood with his fingernails penetrating through my flesh.
They’re going to kill me.
“You’re finally getting a chance to get out of here. If
you fuck this up, I’ll kill him. Do you get me?” What? I ignore his comment
about leaving here. That rolling in my stomach starts to turn, spinning out of
control until it crashes into my chest, making it hard for me to breathe. I
know exactly whom he’s referring to, and the thought makes me want him to stick
his dick in my mouth so I can bite the repulsive little thing off. He’s talking
about Riddick. Cutter nods my head for me using his greased, stained hands, his
fingernails so dirty I gag at the sight. Those hands that make me cringe every
time they touch me leave my face and go right back to my hair, where he pulls
me behind him across the lot while I stifle my cries of pain. Not from the
gravel clawing and embedding into my skin. From the words he spits out like
it’s an everyday occurrence to threaten me with the only thing that can plunder
my soul. This is the first time he’s physically hurt me, which makes me realize
that whatever I’m here for is the worst kind of bad.
My life is not my own anymore. It belongs to my brother,
and I’m a nut job because of it. I live inside my own head, talk to myself,
pretend like I’m carrying on a conversation with the one person I want with me
all the time. Riddick. I stare at walls for hours upon hours of the day and
night, daydreaming of a better life on the ocean, where I can roam freely. Feel
the wind swaying in with the tide, my hair blowing back away from my face as I
breathe in the salty air. These conscious fantasies are a young woman’s fairy tale
we all wish to come true. Riddick knows how much living on the ocean means to
me. He is going to kill them for thinking they can put their slimy hands on me.
This will be the end to the street fighting gang war my brother seems to think
he’s the king of. People stay clear of Jesse Barrick for a reason. He’s
maniacal crazy. Certifiably teetering on the edge of insanity. And whatever his
reasons are for mistreating me have crazed him out to the point where I’m
tumbling over the edge first.

Blurb
Life has not been easy for Penelope Summers. Specifically, the last
month, when her high-profile boyfriend dumped her, her indecent exposure record
surfaced, and her favorite thing in the world, tequila, failed her.
Good thing for Penelope, she has her best friend to pick her up, and
take her on the vacation of a lifetime. A seven-day cruise that will change the
direction of her downward spiral. But will that spiral shift in the direction
Penelope needs? Or will it throw her into a bigger whirlwind of trouble?
With Reckless Abandon as her motto, tequila as her wingman, and a hot
one-night stand as her much needed reward, will the tables finally turn for
Penelope, or will life as she knows it continue to fail her?
Sometimes
you just have to ride the wave of crazy to find out.

Say You're Mine by Jenika Snow
Coming November 15th
She was mine before I even knew her name…
Felix
When I first saw Maggie, I knew we’d be the best of friends. I wanted that desperately, wanted her in my life, and I’d do anything to make sure that happened.
Until Maggie came in my life I didn’t know what love was.
She’ll be my first and last.
I’ll be her only.
Maggie
I didn’t know I could have a friendship like the one I have with Felix. But the friend-zone wall has always been in place. Being too afraid to cross it, I’d rather be in Felix’s life than tarnish the relationship we have.
Too much time has past. I’m done being afraid of the what-ifs. I’m ready to admit how I feel for him, consequences or not.
Felix
Maggie doesn’t know the lengths I’ll go to keep her in my life, but she will, because the very idea of her with someone else is not something I’ll even entertain. She’s always been mine, and it’s time I step up and show her how much I love her.

My devotion for her goes to the very depths of my soul, and staying back as she lives her life without me by her side is absolutely not an option.

The Blogger Diaries Box Set - NOW LIVE!!!!
Title: The Blogger Diaries Box Set
Author: KD Robichaux
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 7
Book 1: Wished For You
Kayla’s Chick Rant & Book Blog
Blog Post: 1/17/15
Blog Post: 1/17/15
My name is Kayla and I’m a blogger who believes in fairy tales. Through the anonymity of my blog, along with my reviews of the steamy novels I like to read, I tell the stories of my own search for love. No matter how disastrous they turn out—and believe me, you will ask yourself ‘Did that really happen?’—I never gave up, knowing my soul mate was out there somewhere.
When my big brother invited me to move to Houston for a semester of college, I jumped at the opportunity to leave my small hometown to see what it was like to live in a big city. Having no friends and not knowing where to go, I met a guy online and met up with him that night. Because…YOLO, right?
Turns out, he was an okay guy. Not ‘The One’, but still, a good enough guy to spend time with. But then, he introduced me to his best friend Jason, and my world tilted on its axis. The dark, tough, tatted-up guy, who was too broody for his own good, captivated me.
But he made it perfectly clear, I wasn’t his type.IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
The Blogger Diaries Trilogy is the true story of how I met, fell for, lost, and got a
second chance at love with my soul mate. The names of everyone EXCEPT me, Jason, my family, and my best friend have been changed to protect their identities. Full of youthful stupidity, leading to bad decisions and lots of angst, it is a real life story, where inevitably things are messy.
No one can look back at their late teens and early twenties and not think of moments that make them ask, What the hell was I thinking? Every second of this trilogy is true, exactly as it happened.
The first book, ‘Wished For You’, is a tale of finding ‘the one’ too early, and then having to let them go.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a true trilogy, meaning the first two books END ON CLIFFHANGERS. But if you take the journey with me, in the end, I promise you a happily ever after you will never forget.
I know I won’t.

Heartbroken and devastated, I moved back home to North Carolina after the man I loved more than anything told me he didn’t want me anymore.
After my disastrous dating history, I had finally found the one, my soul mate, and then he just threw me away like I meant nothing to him. So, what was I supposed to do now?
I did what any woman who had her heart ripped to shreds would do. I rebounded. And I rebounded hard.
My life spun and progressed at whirlwind speed as I tried desperately to fill the hole Jason had left inside me.
I had myself fooled for a while there, until the newness of everything wore off, until the whirlwind slowed to a grinding halt and I was forced to stop and realize exactly what I’d done. I suppose I could’ve trained myself to be content with Aiden, but all I did was…
Wish He Was You

They say when you quit trying so hard, things will finally fall into place. So, I let go of my failed marriage to Aiden, focused all my attention on my daughter and finishing school while working a full-time job, and suddenly…
Barely breathing turned into surviving.
Surviving turned into being content.
Contentment turned into happiness.
All just my girl and me.
But there was still something missing, something I truly never thought I’d have.
My happily ever after.

KD Robichaux wanted to be a romance author since the first time she picked up her mom’s Sandra Brown books at the ripe old age of twelve. She went to college to become a writer, but then married and had babies. Putting her dream job on hold to raise her family as a stay at home mom, who read entirely too much, she created a blog where she could keep her family and friends up-to-date on all the hottest reads. From there, by word of mouth, her blog took off and she began using her hard-earned degree as a Senior Editor for Hot Tree Editing. When her kids started school, and with the encouragement from her many author friends, she finally sat down and started working on her first series, The Blogger Diaries, her very own real life romance.
