Coming September 2016

Synopsis: They say without the support from his family, a man is lost. My parents have been pushing me to make the right choices throughout my life. Instead of taking their advice, I’ve gone against their guidance more times than I care to admit. Now I’ve done the unthinkable; something they would never approve of. I'm involved with a beautiful, compassionate woman, but I've also been in a  complicated relationship with her best friend on and off for several years. I don’t know how it’s possible, but I have deep feelings for both. Now one of them is pregnant. My choice should be easy, but nothing ever is, at least not in my experience. I want to reach out to my family, but I already know they'd tell me I screwed up, just like in the past. I have to figure this out. A choice will be made. Hearts will be broken, and one of them will most definitely be mine.   I'm Joshua Healy, and this is exactly what I deserve.     Goodreads Link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30534146-joshua-healy?from_search=true&search_version=service   Amazon US Preorder: http://amzn.to/25YpRJR   Amazon UK Preorder: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01H0GS1TS

"He was over here for like five hours last night drinking and talking with Dad. You think I like him? My dad's in love. And the way he didn’t hesitate to put Benji in his place, I just think Dad’s got a good feeling about him."

"Shit, I've got a good feeling about him too... and it's in my panties." She laughs and motions toward her crotch. "If I had been working and saw him do that to Benji's fat ass, I would've let him fuck me right on top of the bar…and I would’ve let everyone watch."

"Brandi!"

"I'm serious. Fuck it!”

"You're ridiculous."

"Paige, don't tell me you didn't notice that anaconda stuffed into his jeans?"

"What?! What the fuck are you talking about? Anaconda? I wasn't looking at his damn jeans." I laugh, finding it hard to not to love this girl who has become like a sister to me. She's the craziest bitch I know, but she's got my back no matter what. She's had it since day one.

"Why wouldn’t you look at his jeans? That’s where his dick is!”

Weightless by Kandi Steiner *~*~*~*~*~* Release Blitz & Review

Title: Weightless

Author: Kandi Steiner

Genre: New Adult/Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 16, 2016

I remember the lights.

I remember I wanted to photograph them, the way the red and blue splashed across his cold, emotionless face. But I knew even if my feet could move from the place where they had cemented themselves to the ground and I could run for my camera, I wouldn’t be able to capture that moment.

I had trusted him, I had loved him, and even though my body had changed that summer, he’d made sure to help me hold on to who I was inside, regardless of how the exterior altered.

But then everything changed.

He stole my innocence. He scarred my heart. He took everything I thought I knew about my life and fast-pitched it out the window, shattering the glass that held my world together in the process.

I remember the lights.

The passionate, desperate, hot strikes of red. The harsh, cruel, icy bolts of blue.

They symbolized everything I endured that summer.

And everything I would never face again.

“I just don’t understand,” he said as he began rolling the ball up my calf. I moaned out loud, realizing that area was packed with trigger points, as he had called them.

“Don’t understand what?” I asked, still holding my breath as he rolled over my other calf. I leaned up on my elbows and turned my head back to meet his eyes.

He paused, holding the ball in place as he gazed back at me. “How could I never have noticed you before?”

I swallowed, almost more afraid of the brief tenderness I caught in his eyes in that moment than the usual hardness that existed there.

Shrugging, I answered his question just above a whisper. “I’m easy to miss.”

I held his eyes for a moment more before laying my chest back to the ground, resting my head on my arms. He started rolling the ball up my hamstrings and I closed my eyes tight. I thought I might explode from the mixture of pain and pleasure that rocked through my body. After a few moments, he spoke again.

“Maybe I just wasn’t looking.”

I HEART BOOKS REVIEW

Weightless by Kandi Steiner
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars:  5

Cardio, Confidence, and Kindness ... it's amazing how they can make us weightless!!

OMG!! What A Great Story!!!! Kandi did it again, this time with a totally new premise. Wealthy, but chubby, high school graduate vs the new to town evil, boyfriend stealing mean girl. Plus throw in the town bad boy and his missing twin sister. There is lots of opportunity for anger, sadness, love, fun, passion, and even some violence. And now a bit about the story...

Natalie Poxton has just graduated from Poxton Beach High School. Her boyfriend Mason has broke up with her and immediately starred dating the newest twig in town. Being a small town, everyone is in her business and Natalie can't go anywhere without running into Mason. Thinking she has to get him back, she agrees to see a trainer, as her mom suggested and her life is forever changed. She meets Rhodes, the infamous bad boy of Poxton, he trains her and helps her change her life. But will his lifestyle rub off on her...

Favorite passages:

- He was beautiful. Crazy? Maybe. Intimidating? Definitely. But, beautiful nonetheless . 

- “An insecure man would rather laugh with the hyenas than chance failing a run with the lions.”

- If my life was to be a story, I wanted to take control of the pen. I wanted to change the paper, crumple up what had been written so far and start over.

- “I’m still the same girl he dumped less than three weeks ago. Plus, he saw me yesterday when I’m pretty sure I looked like a sweaty walrus.”

- “Finding something beautiful in the chaos.”

- He wasn’t a tiny meowing kitten by any means, but he wasn’t the pit bull I’d become used to, either.

- Rhodes had a way of bringing out someone inside me who had never existed before. I was bold around him — unabashedly bold. It felt strange and incredible at the same time.

- I was still nervous to sit too close to Rhodes. I felt like he was a caged animal. One wrong move might send him running or cause him to attack. I wasn’t sure which was worse.

- “We only have so much time to be, Natalie. So be wild, be crazy, be spontaneous, and be passionate. Never be sorry. And when someone tells you you’ll regret your choice later, be confident in the fact that you won’t.”

- “I’m worth more than what they think I am.”

Kandi Steiner is a Creative Writing and Advertising/Public Relations graduate from the University of Central Florida living in Tampa with her husband. Kandi works full time as a social media specialist, but also works part time as a Zumba fitness instructor and blackjack dealer.

Kandi started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her "freedom of press." She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic (like most girls brought up on Disney movies).

When Kandi isn't working or writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys beach days, movie marathons, live music, craft beer and sweet wine - not necessarily in that order.

Callie (Mitchell-Healy #9) by Jennifer Foor *~*~*~*~* Release Day Blitz

 

Last year my sister came home and fell hopelessly in love with the man I thought I’d have a future with. Now they’re parents to a beautiful baby, and as much as I want to be a part of their lives, I can’t be around them without feeling betrayed, so I moved to Kentucky to start over fresh. I never anticipated seeing someone from my past, or being thrown into an affair neither of us are able to break away from.

He’s dangerous, but loyal. He’s powerful; someone who has the ability to take something dear from my family.

He also wants a future with me, even though we both agree it’s a bad idea.

Now I have to make another huge decision. I can run home and forget we ever crossed paths, or I can let my heart lead me in a direction I’m afraid of going.

I’m Callie Healy, and this is my story.

BURN (L.A. Untamed Book 2) by Ruth Clampett

SUMMARY 

"Where there's smoke, there's fire...

And I would know.
As the only woman in a squad of firefighters,
They call me T-Rex.
I’m fierce, fearless and I get the job done.

I've got a past that hurt me, nearly destroyed me.
Who doesn't?
But I'm no damsel in distress...
I fight my own battles, my own wars and my own fires.

Now I’m sizzling for my lieutenant, Joe Murphy, and that’s one fire I don’t want to put out.
But it’s a complicated situation. A hot and wild situation.
When things spiral out of control should I fight for the new life I was trying to build . . . or just let it burn? "

REVIEW

Review by Wennie Conedy

5/5 stars

I was in a slump.

Real life finally caught up with me and with all the stressors, reading took a back seat -- of a bus -- a double decker in fact. Somehow, I lost the joy that came with reading, with discovering, with connecting with characters and losing myself in their world.

Well, when the opportunity came to review Ruth Clampett's new book. BURN, I jumped at the chance, hoping that the sequel to WET would re-re-ignite that fire for reading and books.

If I thought BURN would start a slow, smoldering fire, I was wrong. Oh so wrong. Clampett doesn't fool around. You know you are in for a wild ride when the opening scene finds the heroine sitting in her bedroom, cutting the crotch out of all of her husband's pants.

BURN is more than a love story. It's a story of survival and acceptance. It's a story of how a strong, young woman, risks her life side by side with other firefighters and yet has to fight to gain acceptance by her own team. It's a story of how a woman's realization that she married the wrong man led her to find the right one.

BURN scorches. BURN ignites. BURN leaves an indelible mark. Go get your copy now.
