Release Day : A Place in the Sun


When her mother’s incessant matchmaking hits an all-time high, Georgie Archibald does what any sensible woman would do: she flees the country.

Seeking refuge in the picturesque seaside village of Vernazza, Italy, Georgie’s only plan is to lie low, gorge herself on gelato, and let the wine and waves wash her troubles away...that is until she wakes up in a bed that belongs to the most romantic- looking man she’s ever seen.

Gianluca.

After going out of his way to rescue her, the former London financier turned mysterious recluse makes it clear that despite acting as her white knight, he has no plans to co-star in her fairytale.

But Georgie isn’t asking for his heart—she’s merely intrigued.

After all, Gianluca isn’t just gorgeous—tall and tan from days spent in the sun—his touch sets her world on fire. With him, Georgie experiences the most intoxicating passion she’s ever known, and it only takes a few steamy nights for her to realize that sometimes running away from trouble is the best way to find it.

About The Author


I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if
I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things... everyday. 

I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors
are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things
"funny". Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the
biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit
smuttier than theirs.

Cover Reveal : Sifted


Sifted is book #2 in the A Recipe for Love series, and is the conclusion of Emily and Declan's story. It is told from Declan's point of view

I asked her to have hope, faith, and trust in us, and then I did the unthinkable: I left.

Now, it's time for me to return and to sift through the pieces that I left behind. I guess my nickname of the Irish Car Bomb is fitting because I went off and left bits of shrapnel behind. I just hope it's not too late to clean up the mess I made.

We only regret the chances we don't take, and honestly, my leaving had nothing to do with Emily—my lovely Lemon Drop.

When I left, I thought I no longer knew who I was. What I know now is that I'm nothing without her by my side. She is the biggest piece of me.

She loved me when I was unlovable. No, she never said the words out loud, either, but her love for me is something I've never doubted. I felt it, I know I did. I promised to be worthy of that love when I returned to her. I'm still not sure that I am, but I need it, and if she'll have me, I'll have her until death do us part.

I meant every word when I told her that my heart would always bring me back to her. She is my home. She is my everything. My yesterday, my today, and my tomorrow.

About The Author


I never thought that I would write a novel, although my English teacher my freshman year in college told me that he would hunt me down if I wasn’t published by the time I was thirty. Thirty came and went. I was busy being a wife and working mother of two and nobody came looking for me.

I doubt my sister thought she was about to change my life forever when she got me a book of “Mommy porn” for my birthday in 2012, but that’s exactly what she did. After reading the first book in the trilogy,

I rushed out and got the other two books. I became obsessed and read the series several times before
learning about Fanficiton. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t get enough. The idea
fascinated me and I thought, “I can do that.” I was a nervous wreck when I posted my first story, a one shot about my new favorite couple. One story lead to another and then another. My readers
encouraged me to write something original, so that‘s what I did. Thank you to everyone who
encouraged me. I couldn’t have done it without you.

I love reading, writing, traveling, and spending time with my family. 
Thank you for going on this journey with me.

Blog Tour : Surviving You


"Thou shalt take the boy out of Manchester, but you cannot take Manchester out of the boy."

Lee –

I’m a killer, a hardened criminal born into the underbelly of an unlawful world that my father crafted,
and I am to be crowned the next King. I used to covet the dark; it has forever been my friend and
forgives me my sins. A slither of light has dared me to hope, it has my house of cards tumbling all around me. From the moment I saw her I knew she would be my downfall, for how can something that shines so bright not burn? Yet, she is my salvation and I gladly walk the path that I have chosen….

Rose –

I cringe at my own shadow; dark corners of my mind forever torment me. I have yet to escape from my demons; they beseech me with every turn of my head. Yet lurking is a promise, a promise of things to come. It has my heart in a vice; squeezing the last dregs of a love I never thought I could feel again. From the moment I saw him I knew he would be my downfall, for how can something that smoulders so dark not singe? Yet, he is my redemption and I gladly walk the path that I have chosen….

“Thou shalt always protect the family.”

******

Loyalty doesn’t come much richer than family so when Lee Young decides to hang up his gun and head north he sets in motion a chain of events that cause murder and mayhem with every step closer he takes to walking.

When two worlds collide, it forces Rose to meet her demons head on and has Lee frantically trying to keep both Rose and her daughter safe. The road they travel together will be their greatest challenge and their most dangerous yet.

With so much to lose but everything to gain, Lee and Rose become embroiled in a game of cat and
mouse as they try to confront the threats surrounding them. Running to keep one step ahead of
everyone else, can these lovers climb out of the dark that they find themselves in and bathe in the light their love promises before the fire burns to embers and their world is snuffed to smoke?

Can be read as a standalone

About The Author


I was brought up in Manchester and I am now living in the beautiful Scottish borders with my three
children.

I have enjoyed writing my story as I had a pretty hard upbringing and have suffered like everyone does over the years in different situations, but everyone has a story to tell.

I just hope my story can help someone out there who is, or has been through the same sorts of
situations as myself.

Blog Tour : The Truth of A Liar


“Life doesn’t always go according to plan. In fact, it has a nasty habit of veering off the map. So when my job led me to New York City, something extraordinary happened…her script merged with mine.”

Hadley Theater, New York City, New York - Night

ENTER STAGE LEFT-Rowan Townsend, a twenty-nine year old Broadway starlet, strolls onto the dark, ominous stage. The bright spotlight finds her and she smiles broadly, her body buzzing in anticipation. 

Rowan

Serendipity is a funny thing, isn’t it? It jumps out from behind the bushes and offers an unbelievable
chance at happiness. It’s hopeful and intriguing, and maybe even a little terrifying. 

ENTER STAGE RIGHT-Lark Hawthorne, a striking twenty-nine year old FBI agent and self-proclaimed liar, marches to Rowan and grabs her arm, coaxing her off stage. 

Lark

Rowan, what are you doing? We need to leave. It’s not safe here.

Rowan and Lark look out into the audience and a menacing shadow in the back of the theater catches
their attention. Her eyes expand in panic and he grips her hand tighter, offering reassurance. 

Lark

It’s now or never. Are you ready?

EXIT STAGE RIGHT. Fade to black.

EXCERPT & TEASERS


I don’t care if it’s sinful. This feeling, right now, it makes all of the bad in my life seem like child’s play in comparison. Landon and Cameron…they’re distant memories.

It’s almost as if I’ve waited all of my life to feel this way with this man.

“I want you. So much, Rowan,” Lark whispers. He reverberates pain, yet his voice is heady. Strained, he hisses as I move my hands lower, settling on the hem of his pants.

I move my head to look at him. I place my hand on his cheek, and touch his bottom lip with my thumb. He’s so soft, yet so incredibly masculine. I want to climb inside of his mind and explore every inch of him. I want to discover all of his inner workings, his secrets. The ones he’ll openly admit to and the ones he hides under his bed.

He clenches his teeth, but his eyes are inquisitive, curious. We stare at each other for an incalculable
amount of time. The seconds seem to pass at a glacial pace and in this moment, I’m thankful. I know
when this ends, it’ll be done for good.

It’s almost as if I’m visiting a foreign place and it’s my last day and I know if I don’t sample the unique cuisine and take mental pictures of the scenery, I’ll never find the feeling deep inside of me again. It’ll be lost forever.

My stomach flops at the thought.

“Lark.” I breathe. Saying his name in this setting is enough to send me over the edge and into the
unknown.

His body vibrates as the word passes my lips, and he moves his face closer to mine. His lips are
millimeters from making contact and all I’d have to do is breathe and we’d be connected, but I refuse to move.

“Say it, again,” he demands, his breath washing over my face. “This might be the last time. Say it one
more time, please. For me.” He closes his eyes with a small smile playing on the edge of his lips. His
hand makes its way up to my face again and he clings to me as if I’m his anchor, tethering him to this
world.

I muster all of the courage I have and mutter his name, letting it float out of my mouth, my lips brushing his in the slightest.

Lark hisses, and this time, I know it’s in longing.

I draw my eyebrows confused. “I thought that’s how this was working, we have sex-“

“We fuck, Madison. But then you go and start asking me to hold you, asking about my day. My job.” He cuts me off. “You can’t make the rules and then not follow them, but go missing for days.” He pauses taking a breath. “You can show up whenever you want to get fucked and I’m supposed be here waiting? But yet when I call you I get no reply.”

Okay, he was definitely upset. We sit in silence for what feel like forever. I don’t know what to say because, let’s face it, he’s right.

“I’m sorry,” I manage to say.

He doesn’t reply right away, instead he stands up and grabs my chin between his fingers.

“I want you naked. Now.” His tone is hard.

Release Day : Two of Hearts



Carrie Maynard has come a long way from the awkward teenager who sat in front of the most popular boy in calculus class. She’s now a young, independent woman with a great job, a loving boyfriend, and a close knit family. But something still seems to missing.

Jason Wilder is no longer the cute teenage boy that Carrie crushed on from high school. He is now a 
hardworking, handsome man and one of Carrie’s very best friends. He is the perfect guy just looking for his perfect girl. Uncertain that he’s actually found her in his girlfriend, Ashley, he goes through the motions, hoping she will fill the void Carrie has left in his heart, ever since the day they met back in high school.

When circumstances change and feelings can no longer be ignored, will Carrie continue to sit on the 
sidelines, watching someone else live out the future with the boy she loved from so long ago, or will she take the next step with the man that’s always owned her heart?

Sometimes taking a risk for love isn’t always easy.

Sometimes even the strongest of friendships are put to the test.

And….

Sometimes it’s easier to walk away when life takes us down a different path than the one our heart 
intended.

EXCERPT & TEASER

“I have memories of you that I’ll use to embarrass you in front of your kids.”

“Hey, just remember I’ve got some dirt on you too, so watch what secrets you’re giving away.”

“Yeah, I know! Do you remember that night?” She let out a slight giggle. “When I threw myself at    you?”

"Yup, I do. How could I forget? My dad busting in my room the next morning."

We both began to laugh until tears were rolling down her face.

"Yeah, too bad I couldn't laugh about it like that back then. I was scared to death that my mom was
gonna kill me!"

"You never did tell me....how much trouble did you get in for that?"

"Not much at all. My mom was surprisingly pretty cool about it. My dad, well.... he eventually got over it."

"That was a classic."

"Do you ever regret not taking me up on the offer of being my first?"

"No." I lied. I regretted it every day. I wanted to be her first, I wanted to be her last, and I wanted to be everything in between. We were so young back then. It would have never lasted, and Carrie and I
wouldn't have the strong relationship that we do now if we had taken that step. We both needed time
to grow, to experience new things with different people before we made that type of commitment.

Now, here we were, older, wiser and both committed to someone else.

About The Author


Ever since I can remember, I have always enjoyed Creative Writing. There was always something about being able to travel to a different place or become a different person with just the stroke of a pen - or in today's world a touch of the keyboard. I am the author of The Exception To The Rule, An Unplanned 
Lesson, An Unplanned Life Drowning In Love, A Cry for Hope, A Will To Change, Blind Side of Love, When The Chips Are Down and Easy Silence.

My life is not as interesting as my books or the characters in them, but then again whose life is? I'm a 
mom of twin teenage boys, a crazy Border Collie and a cat with an identity crisis! I guess you can say writing is my form of Calgon!

Book Review : A Work In Progress


Hmm.. Where do I start with this one ?? My mind is all jumbled up after reading the book so let's start on how I know about this book I guess.
To be honest with you, I don't really watch Connor's videos, I don't really stay up to date with his posts (but to be fair, I don't really follow and stay up to date with Celebrities or YouTubers. I only followed max 10 famous people on my instagram hahahaha) But I know who Connor is, how he looks like and I've watched a couple videos and I remember thinking what a great smile on that cute face :p

Anyways, I wasn't really interested in reading non-fiction before. Most of the books that I read is Romance, mostly Adult Romance because some of the teenage love story are sometimes too cliche or expected or repeated but yeah, I've never really been into memoir or auto-biography before, probably cause I'm lacking in the love section of my life so I get my feels from hot billionaire like Damien Stark ;) Okay, need to stop getting side tracked !! So yeah, my first biography book is 'Is Everybody Hanging Out Without Me' By Mindy Kaling (which btw, I did a review too if you want to check it out :D) and ever since then I've been more into biographies. And I know he published a book and saw it a couple of times on instagram so I decided why not since the cover is really pretty. I really enjoyed the book, therefore here I am writing a review close to midnight and I got work tomorrow morning but I can't not write it. Here's my review :

" Who Are You ? 
Answer : You are who you are in this given moment. Label-less, Limitless. "
- Page 135

The way Connor sees the world and everything around him amazes me. I've been trying lately to not let my insecurities get in my way. I know that no matter what I do, people will judge anyway and I've accepted that but Connor explains it in such a manner that I realize that I still have a long way to go to fully accept myself. He's only 23 years old but somehow he's manage to capture all the shits that some adults might not be able to and that deserves a good pat on the shoulder. His words inspired me and I hope that it inspires other too. And not only that he's cute he also gives good advice for many things in your life and I'll know I will never forget about it as it is quite memorable to me.

But the thing that I like most about this book is the photos inside. Those photos helps to tell the story better and there are beautiful photos inside that deserves to be look at. I recommend this book to any non-fiction lover out there. Don't let his age or his popularity stops you from reading it because I know there are some of you out there that's a little bit ehh about this book because you think he's still too young to know shit or because he's a youtuber and he's just trying to gain more money from his popularity. Toss those judgment out for a second and give this book a go !!
