Cover Reveal: Balance by Lucia Franco!!!




Cover Design by: 

Romantic Book Affairs


Blurb


Adrianna Rossi is no stranger to the rigorous demands required of her body. Years of pain and determination make her one of the best. Olympic glory is the ultimate goal, and she'll do anything to achieve it. Even if that means leaving home to attend World Cup Academy of Gymnastics, a training center that serves one purpose—producing champions. 

Perfection, precision, and dedication are required of his athletes. When two time Olympian Konstantin Kournakova is persuaded into training the young hopeful, he immediately regrets it. She doesn't come close to his high standards. As the relentless pursuit of her dream keeps her striving, a passion is ignited within him.

Kova's power and domination, coupled with Adrianna's fierce tenacity, reveal there is more for her body to learn. Every interaction can be misconstrued, but there’s no mistaking the darkening of his gaze, the lingering of his touch, or the illicit image of his bare skin pressed against hers. Integrity is on the line. One toe off the beam and their forbidden desires could ruin everything they’ve worked for, throwing it all off balance. 


WARNING: This novel contains explicit content.

Reese King: Olympic medalist, underwear model, Greek god.

His body is chiseled from rock, sculpted by the weight room, and refined by water.

On a daily basis his skin is completely bare for everyone to see, tan and defined, only covered up by a minuscule piece of spandex. There is no denying his sex appeal.

I hate to admit it, but I’m head over heels infatuated with him.

There is one HUGE problem though. His achingly gorgeous abs, inked up arm, and cocky swagger belong to my boss, the high-profile, reality star bitch from hell and certified heinous human being, Bellini Chambers.

What I think is going to be an easy job assisting a glorified wench turns into a cluster f*ck of epic proportions.

About the Author:

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if "It's Raining Men" starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing... enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Uncovering Camila By Vivian Winslow ***Review***

                                                        Author: Vivian Winslow
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Book: Uncovering Camila
size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">

Synopsis
Camila Cohen is a highly ambitious and driven third-year NYU law student who works as a part-time bartender to help pay her way through school. She prefers no-strings attached relationships, afraid that anything serious could get in the way of her goals. But when chef Eliseo Perez ditches her for a job in Miami, she realizes even a casual arrangement can leave you feeling burned. Just as Camila’s close to accepting a position at the high-powered law firm of Sullivan & Moore (more appropriately known by its initials, S & M), her uncle Arthur, the head of the Cohen Real Estate dynasty, makes a proposal that compels Camila to question the career path she’d always assumed would be right for her. As she attempts to balance her busy final year of law school with her bartending job, what should have been a random Tinder date for a hot hook-up leads to something unexpected. Meeting the incredibly brilliant and handsome Marshall James forces Camila to face her greatest fears and realize that creating a life for herself means making decisions that could potentially hurt the ones she loves.

Darra's Review:

If you have not checked out our blog, than you are not aware of how much of a fan I am of Vivian's work. When I receive the books, everything is put on hold. Vivian has never let me down. Uncovering Camila is another hit out of the park. 
This book can be a stand alone. However each book Vivian has wrote includes characters that overlapped into other books prior. People come and go out of our lives. Her books are the same. Many characters have a great story. Although sometimes it is the minor characters who surround the main character that make the story multi dimensional. 
Camila is a strong woman that is trying to move on with her life, leaving her ex behind. Her priorities are her future. Making sure she finishes school and start her career immediately. Although she still has lingering feelings for her ex(Which is in Forbidden Rose), Camila has no plans to start another relationship. However Camila's cousin does not think the same. She is hooking Camila up with an unknown date. Which he shows up and she has no idea why he keeps eyeing her. However Marshall has caught her attention at the very least. He is charming in an unknowing way. Any warm blooded woman could not help herself from desiring that type of man. Of course Marshall has a big part of this book, but I think the most interesting parts are about the choices Camila makes in her personal and career life. 
What she decides will effect her relationship with her parents. It is a struggle to separate the two into different compartments. Ultimately it is her choice on how to proceed. But I think some of plans for her future are based on the people who she meets. 
I enjoyed her. Yes, it is great that she met Marshall. He will give you the warm and fuzzy in your stomach. I mean, Camila's, not us. ;-) Hell, what am I saying? Vivian always writes those kinds of men in her books. They don't need those damsel in distress. These guys like the strong, independent women that may not need them in their life, but wants to stand next to that man and look forward to the future being with them.

I have became a broken record. I know I have said this before, but I will reiterate again. It is the characters who make the story great. Camila and Marshall do just that. Vivian's characters make the story com to life. To crave more of what is to come. With whoever is to come next? 


So excited! Maybe a tad giddy if the next book will be just as great as Uncovering Camila.

I rate the book a 4.6 out of 5. Clink on that link and buy!

Sexcerpt
Camila turns her body to face Marshall. Lifting her hand, she runs a finger down the side of his face. He catches her hand and trails kisses around her palm. From there he runs his tongue up her index finger and sucks. He continues to suck on her fingers relentlessly, each one stirring her craving for sex even more than the last. She smiles to herself. This dare will be far easier than I thought.
She sits astride Marshall on the bench, careful not to tear her dress. “You sure about this?” He asks.
“Why do you ask?” Camila rubs his cock from outside his trousers. “You want to hear me say that I want to be with you?”
“Yeah, I do,” he replies before crushing his lips against Camila’s. Like last time, this kiss blows her away with its intensity, as he alternates between tender caresses and biting her bottom lip. Unlike last time, there’s an undercurrent of desperation behind it because they both know the weekend will end and their City lives will resume, where neither one will be able to touch the other. Somehow that prospect of it ending before it even begins drives them further into the moment, passion superseding all reason and doubt.
Camila doesn’t speak right away. She wants her kisses to speak her desire for her. For her tongue to find his and to stroke it the way he stroked her pussy that morning in her apartment. She brings her hands to his face, gripping him with the intensity of a lover who’s saying both hello and good-bye. It’s truly liberating to own this level of freedom with someone knowing that the present is all they have. She can feel his erection grow and press against her cunt, growing slicker with every kiss and lick against her lips. Camila draws his left hand under her dress so he can feel her desire.
Marshall moans into the next kiss, taking her deeper as he buries two fingers inside of Camila. She cries out silently, only a jagged breath shattering the stillness around them. Time has literally ceased to exist in this moment between the two lovers as they continue to climb toward their mutual pleasure. Camila lowers the zipper of his pants, freeing his cock. Marshall hisses as she begins to stroke him. What he wouldn’t give to feel himself inside her warm mouth right now. He groans as he bites down on Camila’s lips, remembering how it felt when she took him deep inside her. He starts to penetrate Camila faster. He wants to fuck her this way and so many others right here on this bench. How perfect and poetic to have someone like Camila on the Baron estate where he’d lost his virginity to Dahlia, the eldest of the twin daughters, all those years ago in the pool house. To bring such light to a place that represents so many memories from his past fills him with such a sense of peace he doesn’t want it to end.
Marshall takes out his fingers and licks them before putting them in Camila’s mouth. She sucks on them hard. The idea that these fingers were just inside her pussy drives her further into her lust. She lowers herself over his cock, prepared for how deep he would go and how far it would stretch her. This time her eyes are open, watching the look of pleasure on his face as she takes him fully.
His moan is louder than it should be, but neither of them cares. She rides him slowly this time, with greater purpose than before. Each time, she wants to feel him deep inside her, and he wants to savor it too. Marshall pulls Camila tight to him, burying his groans into her mouth, his kisses conveying a warmth and gratitude for tonight, for that morning in her apartment, and for feeling so fucking good at this moment.
He buries his face in her breasts as he continues to thrust into her. Her cries match his. Both are so close to coming, but neither of them is ready to. The reality after the fact will hit them both, and they want to push it away as long as they can. Marshall wraps his arms around her tighter, unable to edge any longer. “I’m going to come,” he whispers.
Camila nods as she rides him harder, lifting herself off, and slamming down so she feels it in her G-spot. She draws a deep breath, finally reaching that deep abyss as Marshall stops thrusting and lets himself go.

Driving Me Mad by Lindsay Paige!!!

 


Synopsis:

He was my therapist.

She was my client.

He’s the person I lean on and turn to.

She’s the person who brings me relief when there seems to be none.

He makes me smile and laugh when anxiety and depression consume me.

She helps me breathe when depression is choking me.

I don't know how to live without him.

I don't know how to be honest with her.

Are we driving each other mad?
 

Sunny's Review:

I was not sure about this book at first. A lot of times, I like to read books that could never really happen. I read to escape life. I am really glad that I read this one. Luckily, I don't deal with anxiety but I do deal with depression.
 
This book was great. I honestly felt the anxiety that Brittany was feeling. She is basically at the point of not being able to function in life. I can't imagine how horrible that is but during some of her attacks I could feel the pressure on my chest. I could feel the wanting to be sick and just wanted to close the book so I would not have to deal with her. So I would stop reading and within about five to ten minutes I would start reading again because I needed to know what was happening.
 
Brittany is out of control with her anxiety and depression. She became friends with Trace after she left for college and was no longer using him as her therapist. Trace deals with his own depression issues. I liked seeing their relationship but I also had some issues with it. It is a very fine line that I think they walked since he was her therapist and it caused me a little stress. I liked Trace even though I really wanted to choke him. I am pretty sure one of the first things teach in all psych classes is that you can't treat yourself.
 
I am giving this book 4.6 stars out of 5. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to give the story away but I will say that Lindsay did a wonderful job of showing emotions of the characters and I can't wait for the next book!!!

Cover Reveal: Mend by Tara Dawn!!!!



MEND (The SNAP Trilogy #3)
by Tara Dawn
Romantic Psychological Suspense
Release Date: August 2016
Cover Design: RMGraphX

Synopsis:
Fate. Karma. Time.
They are all faces of the same entity. Each is beautiful in its own way, in the right light. Normally each works of its own accord. Escape them, and you discover what lies beneath their masks. It surpasses sinister and lies within base carnality. The three twist together to create something terrifying enough to stop you in your tracks and beg for mercy. A clemency they'll not grant you.
I should have accepted and taken what they offered me to begin with. Death was kind to me, yet I refused it. I turned my back on them, and they unleashed a personal vendetta against me. Anyone close to me felt the repercussions; some of them payed the ultimate price. All because my will was stronger than theirs. They've proven to me that when things are meant to be, to not change them. Otherwise, someone will pay the consequences to right the world, and they won't hesitate to prove that to you.
Discrimination doesn't exist in their eyes. The headstones before me validate that.
