About the Author
TiffanySnowI love to write and am thrilled to be a part of the Amazon Montlake family. My debut novel, NO TURNING BACK, is the first book in The Kathleen Turner Series. I write about things I love to read myself - a heroine who could be a neighbor or best friend; two men who each portray their own version of darkness and light, each vying for her affection; and a story that focuses as much on the characters as it does the suspense. NO TURNING BACK, TURN TO ME, and TURNING POINT currently comprise The Kathleen Turner Series. The fourth book, OUT OF TURN, will be released 12/17/13. There will be a total of five books in the Kathleen Turner Series.

As for me, I've been reading romance novels since I was way too young to read such things, have an unhealthy obsession for all things Doctor Who, prefer Pepsi to Coke and Absolut to both, think men who drink girly cocktails are wusses, have learned to never stop believing in my beloved St. Louis Cardinals, and can recite the entire scripts of When Harry Met Sally and Apollo 13. George Washington is cool, Bon Jovi still rocks the house, and Bruce Willis is the ultimate alpha-male hero. Most of all, romance never, ever gets old.

If you've been following my blog all along or if you knew me when I started this series in the summer of 2012, then you know that I am obsessed with the series.  I read the first two, and then immediately read them again.  When book 3 came out, I read them all again and book 4 is slated for a December 17th release date, so you know I'll be reading them all again.  This one, the 5th and final in the series (my heart is breaking just typing that) will be out in May 2014.  I have never had a book or a series affect me this way.  I adore these characters and the journey they have been on.  I'm not sure what I will do when it finally comes to an end.  I may be in mourning for a while after.

COVER REVEAL - Tipsy by Cambria Hebert

 
Cambria Hebert's Take if Off Series is one of my favorites!  And while it's called a series, each book is really a standalone.  Next up in the series is Tipsy and today, we are revealing the cover!!
 
 

 
 
 
 
BOOK & AUTHOR INFO:
Title: Tipsy
Author: Cambria Hebert
Series: Take It Off - all the novels in this series can be read as stand alones
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: December 13, 2013
Format: Ebook and Paperback

Synopsis
***This is a new adult contemporary novel and contains sexual content and graphic language. It is not intended for young adult readers.***

Julie Preston is an artist. But her canvas isn’t paper or clay. It’s hair. She spends her days coloring, blow drying and styling her clients hair at the Razor’s Edge salon. Julie is also annoyed. She went out on a date and had a great time, gave the guy her number and the jerk never called.

So when he waltzes into the salon and sits down in her chair she briefly considers strangling him with the pink cape she fastens around his neck.

Too bad she can’t.

Blue Markson, the guy who never called, is a police officer so causing him bodily harm would be a first class ticket into the slammer. Just looking at him again makes Julie forget why she was mad in the first place, but she’s already learned that Blue is nothing but heartache. So when he starts coming around, acting like he hadn’t made her stare at the phone for days, she tries to brush him off.

Only…

Her life is about to blow up in her face, she’s about to get caught up in a sticky web of crime and the one guy who can help her is the one guy she vowed never to trust again.

AUTHOR BIO:

She loves a caramel latte, hates math and is afraid of chickens (yes, chickens). She went to college for a bachelor’s degree, couldn’t pick a major, and ended up with a degree in cosmetology.

Tell Me Why by Sydney Snow

Suicide is a very tough subject and extremely heartbreaking.  And I would imagine that writing a book about suicide can not be an easy task.  Authors live with their characters, so telling a story involving such a difficult subject must be an emotional nightmare.

And I'm sure there is always the question of whether people will want to read it. 

Tell Me Why begins with Jessi's suicide.  It is a heartbreaking scene, but I urge you to keep reading.  The story continues by following Anna and Caleb, Jessi's best friend and stepbrother, as they cope with losing someone they love and not knowing why.  As they turn to each other to get through this difficult time and confront the feelings they have for each other, Caleb learns why Jessi took her own life and he struggles with keeping the secret from Anna not only because it was Jessi's dying wish but because he is afraid of what it will do to Anna and to their relationship.  It could destroy them both and what they are starting to build.

Tell Me Why tackles a difficult subject, but it also shows is that life is worth living and that you should never give up on life or love because you just don't know what might be right in front of you or around the next corner.  Life is worth living and I can promise you, even when you think things are at their worst, there is something wonderful waiting for you down the road.  Don't ever give up!



Tell Me Why coming November 17, 2013

COVER REVEAL: Chasing Olivia by Micalea Smeltzer

 I have admitted it before and I'll admit it again, I totally bought Micalea Smeltzer's Finding Olivia for the cover.  I adore the cover model, Kim Tallman and when I saw her on that cover, I had to buy it.  Since then, I have come to love Micalea also.  And you've probably heard me mention a time or two (or 100) how much I love the covers designed by Regina Wamba at Mae I Design.  

And now, Micalea has a follow-up to Finding Olivia coming soon.  And she had to use Kim as the model again and of course, Regina once again designed the cover.  So you know I love this one too and I'll be buying it as soon as it is released.  We have to wait a bit for that, but today, we can share the cover with you all!!  So how much do you love this one??

Forever Changed - Mystic Wolves #4 by Belinda Boring



Confession time:  When I started reading the very first Mystic Wolves book, I was confused and I was thinking I wasn't going to enjoy it.  But it got better as I went along and by the time I reached that cliffhanger ending, I was cursing Belinda Boring for dragging me in and then leaving me hanging.  I couldn't wait to read #2.  And then #3.  Each one was better than the last and each cliffhanger did exactly what it was meant to do...keep us hanging and anticipating the next one.  I was able to read the first 3 back to back as I didn't discover the series until they were all out.  And then I had to wait until #4. 

Some days waiting felt like torture and as release day approached, the excitement built.  Lucky me, it was published a little early and I was up late at night watching my Red Sox win the World Series, so I was able to One-Click as soon as it was published!


I wasn't able to start reading right away as I was finishing something else that I had promised to read, but once I was finished with that, I moved Forever Changed to the top of my reading list.  But I told myself not to rush it.  Not to read too fast.  I wanted to savor it.  I wanted to let it sink in and wrap itself around my brain.  So I took my time reading it this week.  And I was not the least bit disappointed, well, except that she left me hanging again!  And she pulled my emotions all over the place!  She had me crying in public. 

But I have to say, this is the BEST in the series.  And I think this is the best thing Belinda Boring has written to date!!  I found myself wondering what goes on in that head of hers.  The detail.  The emotions.  Do the words just flow out of her fingers and onto the paper because while the story just flowed and didn't feel forced at all, there were times that I was just truly amazed by it all? 

Darcy!  Mason!  Devlin!  Please don't ever stop talking to Belinda because we need to hear your stories.  We need you to remain vocal.  We don't even mind if you start screaming at her, just as long as she keeps putting your words onto paper.



Book BlurbWaking up after an amazing night with her new husband and mate, nothing could've prepared Darcy for the epic bombshell Devlin dropped—explaining her heritage and revealing truths that completely blow her mind. When all she wants is to settle into marital bliss and pack life, Darcy's world is once again thrown into turmoil, forced to face a challenge that may very well destroy everything she’s fought so hard to preserve.

Not one to sit back and watch the one he loves more than life itself in danger, Mason immediately formulates a plan of action—taking a small group of trusted friends across the United States in the hot pursuit of answers. Time is running out, though. With every attempt to control Darcy's wild magic thwarted, and the dark presence of evil dogging their every move, Mason and Darcy will be left with no other choice but to make a stand—fight or risk losing everything they cherish most.

Decisions will be made. Love will be pushed to breaking point. Mason and Darcy face their greatest challenge, one that will leave them … FOREVER CHANGED.



Get your copy of Forever Changed at Amazon for Kindle or at Barnes and Noble for Nook.

Follow Belinda Boring on Facebook.


To start the series, you can get the first book, titled The Mystic Wolves for free at Amazon or at Barnes and Noble.
Here is the book blurb from that one:  What would you do if a simple errand takes a deadly twist, turning you from cautious prey to dangerous predator?
Someone is trying to send a deadly message to Mason, arranging the deaths of those he loves and it puts the entire pack and Alpha on high alert.


 
(Note:  This post was written completely 'off-the-cuff' and was not edited!  I literally just finished reading this morning and threw my thoughts into this post.)

Charmed by Cambria Hebert

How many times have you read something that caused a physical ache inside?  A small tornado twisting around in your gut?  That is exactly what Charmed has done to me. 

I didn't want to put it down.  I just wanted to keep reading, but I didn't want it to end. 

And how is it possible to fall from a guy who kills people for a living?  I'm not talking about a soldier, a member of the military, someone who kills the bad guys, but just someone who kills because the grim reaper told him to?  But believe me, you will find yourself falling for Charming, just like Frankie does. 


I am a big fan of Cambria Hebert's Take It Off series, but this is the first time that I ventured into one of her other series and she did not disappoint!  Charmed is actually the second in her Death Escorts series, so I know I really need to read Recalled, but I definitely didn't feel as though I was missing anything. 

Charmed is listed as a New Adult book and is recommended for readers 17+. 

Here is the book blurb:
Life or Death? Not many people would choose death. But what if death chooses you? What if death doesn’t mean the end of your life, but the beginning?
For a Death Escort, death is life. Death is your paycheck. Death is your job.

And Charming is the best Escort the Grim Reaper has ever had.
But when you piss off the Reaper, being the best doesn’t matter. So Charming is assigned a Target who is practically impossible to kill. He knows the Reaper hopes he fails—that he’s counting on it. So Charming vows to prove him wrong. He vows to make the kill.
But someone else vows to get in his way. Someone with a big mouth, a sugar habit, and blond hair. Someone who makes his heart start beating again.
And so Charming is left holding more than one person’s fate in the palm of his hand. He thought the choice would be easy, that there really wasn’t a question at all.
He was wrong.
Life or Death?

And I'm sure you won't be surprised to learn that the cover was designed by the fabulous Regina Wamba at Mae I Design.  You know how much I love her work!
