We are so thrilled to reveal the trailer for Folsom by writing duo Tarryn Fisher and Willow Aster coming on May 29th!

With the male species on the verge of extinction, a society called the End Men is formed to save the world. Folsom Donahue is one of twelve men whose sole purpose is to repopulate the Regions. The endless days spent having sex with strangers leaves Folsom with an emptiness no amount of women, money, or status can fill.

Until Gwen.

Gwen has wanted a child for as long as she can remember, but when she finally gets a chance to have her own, she uncovers a long hidden truth. The injustice she sees moves her to help save the men whom no one else believes need saving.

★ ★ ★ ANOTHER ONE IS LIVE ★ ★ ★

Shout it from the roof tops… ANOTHER ONE, this summer’s “take me away” stand-alone romantic comedy is LIVE!!!

01BFE84E-14B7-4F76-9AE9-9EAFD51F17C6.jpegONE-CLICK today and let Trevor and Shana take you away from life’s pressures!

Here’s a taste….

Before I can knock, the door of Trevor’s apartment opens and the doorway fills with Trevor Willis. In worn blue jeans riding low on his hips, bare feet, and no shirt, I can’t take my eyes off of him. Tunnel vision doesn’t seem to be affecting only me.

Trevor’s gaze is zeroed my way.

Without his saying a word, my body is consumed by the hunger of his stare. His green eyes sparkle with explosions of golden flecks as he scans from my boots to my hair. With each second, it’s as if his gaze touches my skin moving upward, the heat disintegrating my clothing in its path until I’m bare in the hallway, waiting for him to bid me entrance.

The tips of his lips move upward until his smile shines with the intensity of his gaze, “Welcome, my lady.” He steps to the side, allowing me just enough room to enter. Still, our bodies brush against one another’s as I wheel my suitcase inside.

“What is this?”

“I thought if I were spending the weekend, I might need a few things.”

Slowly his head shakes. “I believe I told you it was a clothes-free zone.”

“Get ready to laugh out loud, swoon, and fall in love with this new, fun, and sexy stand-alone novel from New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig. Demonstrating her versatility in writing, Aleatha revisits her lighter side that you loved in PLUS ONE.”

Cover Reveal :: Rock Legend by Tara Leigh ::

On By Monica SofiaIn Books, Goodreads, Mood, Music, My work, RecommendationsLeave a comment
 

 
Title: Rock King (Nothing But Trouble, Book 2)
Author: Tara Leigh 
Genre: Contemporary Romance / Rockstar Romance
Release Date: July 17, 2018
Cover Designer: Forever Romance
 
I’m no Prince Charming.
Most people know me as the drummer for Nothing but Trouble. Depending who you ask, I’m also a playboy, a loner, the life of the party, a screw-up, or according to my fans, “The Sexiest Rock Star on the Planet.” Apparently, I’m a legend.
Am I surprised? Hell, no. It’s a reputation I’ve earned behind my drum kit and behind closed doors. No one thought foster kid Landon Cox would become famous. Infamous, maybe. Notorious, probably. But successful? Never. No one except Piper Hastings. But I had to make a choice: my woman or my career. I picked fame and fortune . . . and spent every damn day since pretending I don’t regret it.
Now fate’s dropped Piper back into my life. I want to believe it’s a second chance for me—for us. But while I can give her a few great nights, I can’t give Piper a future.
Because there’s a difference between a legend and a fairy tale . . .
Only one of them ends happily ever after.
 

 

 

 

 

 
Tara Leigh attended Washington University in St. Louis and Columbia Business School in New York, and worked on Wall Street and Main Street before “retiring” to become a wife and mother. When the people in her head became just as real as the people in her life, she decided to put their stories on paper. Tara currently lives in Fairfield County, Connecticut with her husband, children and fur-baby, Pixie.

Crave by E. K. Blair (part 2)

On By Monica SofiaIn Books, Goodreads, Moments, Mood, Recommendations, ReviewsLeave a comment

 

Title: Crave: Part Two
Series: Crave Duet #2
Author: E.K. Blair
Genre: New Adult Romance/Coming of Age
Release Date: October 16, 2017
Blurb
Weeks became
months, and months became years. Each day nudged Kason deeper into his
addiction. Each memory of the girl destroyed fed the craving for what he could
never have again.
Leaving a life-altering first love behind, Adaline tried moving forward to find
love and trust and happiness. Pain eventually faded, wounds slowly healed, yet
scars were forever left behind.

But some scars feel like kisses.

When the shattered pieces of their hearts are forced to meet again, the two of
them must decide how much pain their love is worth enduring.

This is what happens when one person loves beyond the craving and the other
craves beyond the loving.

My Review

Crave: Part Two (Crave Duet, #2)

 

Crave: Part Two by E.K. Blair
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

 

So, now you know crave part one isn’t a standalone,
you do need to read Crave part one before part two.

I was desperate to know …
Adaline’s incident at the end of book one… yeah you need to read it.

Adaline had to heal it was pretty hard, pushing away the ones who really loved her and wanted to help. Very emotional journey. What happens to her? For you to find out, you have to read it with hope that what she’s been through will be worthy.

It’s hard to say the words 

when you feel down 

when something or someone 

happens in the same path as you
For me it’s somewhat private

somewhat reserved

The words don’t come out

until it’s safe and silent

Review: CRAVE by E.K. Blair

Title: Crave: Part One

Release Date: August 14, 2017
Blurb
Kason and Adaline.
From the moment
they met, they started to fall. Neither of them predicted just how far the drop
would be, though.
Loving Adaline was
all Kason had ever wanted to do. But layer by layer, he started to unravel,
forcing Adaline to face an addiction she never could’ve imagined.
This is what
happens when one person loves beyond the craving and the other craves beyond
the loving.

My review:

 

Crave: Part One (Crave Duet, #1)Crave: Part One by E.K. Blair

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4,5 *

 

E.K. Blair’s writing makes you live through a unique journey into an high school world.
The main characters tell the story of friendship, love and so much more., you’ll “crave” for more!

I went back to my teen self. Wow, some of the things I wish they’d stay forgotten.
As we all know days in high school weren’t always funny, innocent and cool to remember…

Bad things happen, conflicts … and we grow with each situation we go through.
We sometimes need to deal with so hard situations, decisions, even an adult doesn’t want to live through.

Crave is different, there is so much more to it!

Amazing read and I was not expecting that end!

You don’t want to miss this, can’t wait for Crave: Part Two!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is only my opinion.
