Quinn Ross has only a couple of months left of her residency in Houston before she takes her boards and joins a prestigious heart surgeon in Dallas. When she gets a serious case of pneumonia and becomes a patient herself, she meets Dr. Roman Burke.

Roman found his love in Doctors Without Borders and made a career out of helping those less fortunate, especially small children in places like Haiti.

Darra's Review:
 
 
I know that many of the books we have read are considered Romance/Erotic. However I really didn't think the book fits into the mold of all the generic books I have read many times before. I live in Houston. So it is always fun to be "I know where that is at!".
The characters are real. It is always a breath of fresh air when you can relate to story. They are doctors, not zillionaires. The story does follows a few years of both Quinn and Roman. Quinn is not a doe eyed push over. Plus there. Roman, oh Roman. So sweet and giving. Swooning.
 
I would rate this book a 4.2. I wish I knew more about Roman before the story starts. Such a interesting background that leaves you wanting more.

About the Author

 
I'm a Texan through and through. While I've lived in various parts of the state, Houston is home now, but Dallas is my favorite part of the state and Austin runs a close second. Let's hear it for the HORNS! T he hubs and I enjoy having friends over and our place is kindof a hangout...of sorts. We cook and entertain together. I want my stories to excite the reader. I love it when readers reach out to me. I have several things planned for 2014. Up first will be my series of Hook-Ups with Ace's Key, Booty Call and Consolation Prize. I'm launching a standalone novella series called The KISS ME SERIES. Each novella will be sure to deliver snarky or wild and zainey or erotic twist to romance and perhaps a combo of all of it. First up is KISS ME-MY ASS guaranteed to get the temperature up, if you know what I mean. Releasing June 17th. Followed by KISS ME-T HERE and KISS ME-IN THE RAIN.
There are over 20 books planned in this series.
I am also writing a story for a HOT SUMMER NIGHTS anthology releasing in August. Stay tuned, 2014 is going to be full of love in all the right places . Abbie

As The Dawn Breaks by Erin Noelle!!!!



 Coming: September 16, 2014

Never planned on meeting someone that would make him want more...

But everything can change As the Dawn Breaks.

add-to-goodreads-button31  
Excerpt
Seven hundred and seventy one long days.
Seven hundred and seventy one lonely nights.
Seven hundred and seventy one sunrises to remind me of the one that changed everything.
A little after five o' clock, I awake from yet another night of restless sleep; no longer needing an alarm, my body now a well-trained machine. Shuffling my feet to the compact kitchen in my apartment, I throw frozen bananas, strawberries, and pineapple into the blender with some orange juice and a scoop of yogurt and flip the switch to 'high.' Thirty seconds later, my frothy fruit shake is ready, the healthy alternative to what used to be a couple cups of black coffee. My stomach thanks me daily.
I grab my glass and stroll through the living room to the patio area - my morning sanctuary. Settling in my chair, I take a few minutes to drink in the view. The beach is still empty, as are the neighboring patios, and only the sound of waves crashing against the shore can be heard. The sliver of a moon still hangs high in the sky, but very soon, it's faint light will be overpowered and concealed by the intense brightness of the sun.
As if she heard my thoughts, the fiery temptress lifts her head up over the horizon, a burst of bright colors shooting up announces her arrival. I slowly sip my refreshing breakfast, my stare glued to the impressive vista, as the memories come rolling in with the surf. Every day, without fail, I torture myself for these few minutes, allowing my mind to reminisce about the time I spent with Trystan - the time when I realized I wanted more from life than the one I was living. I wanted to love and to be loved, unconditionally; I wanted someone - the same someone - to wake up to every morning and to go to bed with each night; and I wanted a family to protect, support, and experience life with.
But then I came home and remembered all the reasons why I couldn't have those things. I am a murderer. I killed a man in cold blood. And though my intentions for the act were honorable - at least in my mind - my life in exile is my punishment, void of any of the things she made me realize I truly want.
Going back for her has never been an option. I can't live in the States, and I can't ask someone I knew for two days to move to the other side of the world, especially now that she has a child. I'd give damn near anything for a chance to make it work, but with both of our situations, it just isn't feasible, even though I still try to help from afar.
I'm left with the visions of long blonde hair whipping in the breeze, the faint scent of coconut and lime swirling in my nose, the branding of bright emerald eyes onto my soul, and... sunrises. Inevitably, the dawn breaks each and every day, and inescapably, so does my heart.

The last of my drink slides down the back of my throat and I stand up, ready to face yet another day. Alone. Counting the hours until the next sunrise.
Seven hundred and seventy two.

    Sunny's Review:


I fell in love with this series from the pretty much page one of Caught Looking. I love Brady Matthews and I love that Meghan Quinn keeps the characters from previous books in this one. We met Margo and Parker in Fair Catch and I liked getting to see them again. There was so much going on in this book that you were never bored. You get to see Molly trying to work out her life, Brady and Jane are a big part of this book, you get to see Parker and Margo. I am not going to lie, there are a couple of characters that I would love to punch in the face in this book. Meghan does a great job of making you feel very strongly about her characters. You love them or hate them but there isn't a lot of "oh that one is ok." I can't wait for the next book. I thought I was going to throw my Nook across the room when I saw how this one ended! MEGHAN I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!!!! She does a great job with cliffhangers. I think everyone of these books has ended with my mouth hanging open.
          I am going to give this book 4.4 stars out of 5. I need more and can't wait for it!!

About Meghan Quinn

meghan quinn
When I was in high school I occasionally read books but was consumed by other teenage things so I didn’t take the time to appreciate a good book on a cloudy day, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch, besides “The Notebook” I made time to read the heartbreaking novel.

It wasn’t until I received a Kindle for Christmas one year that my world completely flipped upside down. When looking for books, I came across the Contemporary Romance genre and was sold and I haven’t turned back since.

You can either find my head buried in my Kindle, listening to inspiring heart ripping music or typing away on the computer twisting and turning the lives of my characters while driving my readers crazy with anticipation.

I am currently residing in beautiful Colorado Springs where the sun is always shining and there is a trail waiting to be hiked on every corner. I share a lovely and warm home with the love of my life and my five, four-legged children.

Amour Amour Cover Reveal!!!!

Amour Amour Cover Official
Title: Amour Amour
Authors: Krista & Becca Ritchie
Expected Publication Date: December 2014
Genre: New Adult Romance
goodreads
 

 
Synopsis
Love is a circus

"Every day,” he says lowly, “I hold a person’s life in my hands. The circus is based one-hundred percent off of trust. I give it all to someone, and they give it all to me.”

The best aerial technique won’t land 21-year-old Thora James her dream role in Amour—a sexy new acrobatic show on the Vegas strip. Thora knows she’s out of her element the second she meets Amour’s leading performer. Confident, charming and devilishly captivating, 26-year-old Nikolai Kotova aggravatingly lives up to his nickname as the “God of Russia.”

When Thora unknowingly walks into the crosshairs of Nikolai’s after-show, her audition process begins way too soon. Unprofessional. That’s what Nik calls their “non-existent” relationship. It’s not like Thora can avoid him. For one, they may be partners in the future—acrobatic partners, that is. But getting closer to Nik means diving deeper into sin city and into his dizzying world.

Thora wants to perform with him, but when someone like Nikolai attracts the spotlight wherever he goes—Thora fears that she’s destined to be “just background” to his spellbinding show.

This sexy and exhilarating New Adult Romance can best be described as Cirque du Soleil meets the steamy, athletic romance of Center Stage. *standalone & no love triangles—recommended for readers 18+ for mature content*

The Forgotten Ones by Laura Howard!!!


Title: The Forgotten Ones
Author: Laura Howard
Genre: New Adult Fantasy
Series: The Danaan Trilogy #1
Published: April 28, 2013

Synopsis:

Allison O'Malley's plan is to go to grad school so she can get a good job and take care of her schizophrenic mother. She has carefully closed herself off from everything else, including a relationship with Ethan, who she's been in love with for as long as she can remember.

What is definitely not part of the plan is the return of her long-lost father, who claims he can bring Allison's mother back from the dark place her mind has gone. Allison doesn't trust her father, so why would she believe his stories about a long forgotten Irish people, the Tuatha de Danaan? But truths have a way of revealing themselves. Secrets will eventually surface. And Allison must learn to set aside her plan and work with her father if there is even a small chance it could restore her mother's sanity.


 

Sunny's Review:

 
You may or may not know that my favorite series is the Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning. This series has the Tuatha de Danaan in it so you know The Forgotten Ones was exciting for me. I love the Fey. So at the beginning of this book you get to see how Ali's life is. She watches her mom and never really gets to live life. She feels bad that her grandparents have had to take care of her. She tries to help them out too. She works hard and goes to school but doesn't really have a social life. I like that Ali is strong and tries to help her grandparents as much as possible. It is very apparent that she loves her family and will do anything for them. 
Ethan has been trying to get Ali's attention. He seems really awesome. Works hard and seems to want the best for Ali. He doesn't really get that big of a role so far but I hope to see more of him.
I blew through this book so quickly. It is really good and the story line held my attention. I can't wait to see where this goes. There are so many questions that I have and I can only imagine this gets better and better. I think this book is a solid 4 stars out of 5. Make sure you click on the Amazon link above and BUY THIS BOOK! Once you read this book make sure you get the second book Stone of Destiny. I put a review up a couple of days ago for that one. This series just keeps getting better!!!

GOODREADS

Sunny's Review:


I liked this book. If you are looking for a sweet read with a little bit of humor and conflict this is the one for you. Tara wrote a book about the "perfect" marriage and then as it starts to get national attention her husband up and leaves her. She must go on a book tour and act like everything is perfect in her life without everyone finding out that her husband left and her life is in shambles. Jake is the publicist that gets the job of making sure Tara's tour goes smoothly and he is not happy about it. As they go along he finds out that there is more to Tara than the diva he thought she would be. It is a really sweet story.

I am giving this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Stone of Destiny by Laura Howard!!!


Title: Stone of Destiny
Author: Laura Howard
Genre: New Adult, Fantasy
 
 

Allison thought it was crazy enough when she found out her father, Liam, wasn't entirely human. But now she has to join his magical allies to unravel his former mistress's plans. Aoife wants to keep Allison's parents apart forever.

Despite Allison's efforts to keep Ethan, the only guy she's ever cared about, out of this supernatural mess, fate keeps throwing him back into the mix.

Will Allison be able to find the amulet that holds the enchantment Aoife placed on Liam and destroy it? Are Ethan' s feelings for Allison strong enough to endure the magic of the Tuatha De Danaan?

 

Sunny's Review:

I was so excited to get this book!! I love the Fae and am fascinated with their stories. I read the first book a while back and loved it. I could not wait to see what happened with Ali and Ethan. You have Liam trying to get away from Aoife but as usual nothing goes as planned. You get to see even more of the Dannan and you start to like them even more. Laura Howard does an amazing job of making you love and hate at the same time. I fell even more in love with Ethan in this book. I really liked him in the last book and was so upset with what happened to him. I thought I was going to hate him in this book but nope, LOVE HIM! Allison is great. I really like that she is a strong girl and her main goal is to get a great job and be able to support her mom. Her grandparents have raised her and supported her mom since she can't function all of Ali's life. I love that she really isn't whiney. There was a point in this story where she had a flat tire. Instead of throwing a fit she looked up a tutorial on you tube and changed it herself. REALLY!! How many of us would do that? I mean I know how to change a tire b/c I was not allowed to drive until I did it but realistically could I do it now? Probably not. Ali is just AWESOME!
 
I am giving this book 4.6 stars out of 5. Go get this series!! I can't freaking wait until the next book comes out. There was a cliffhanger and I want to read the next book NOW!!! Laura, if you read this I will totally give you my opinion on the next book if you want to send it over!! Just sayin'. I would say I am kidding but I am a little serious. This is an awesome series and I think if you like some fantasy you will love it.
