Blog Tour - Draw Me In By Megan Squires

Draw Me In by Megan Squires 

Publication date: January 7th 2014

Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Synopsis:

He’s a young, up and coming businessman with the keys to his family’s Italian wine enterprise.

I’m a fine arts student, navigating life in the Big Apple, my pencil and sketchpad in hand.

We meet. We fall in love.

But it’s not that story.

Sometimes, by a rare gift of fate, two lives cross paths. And hey, if that happens to occur when staring at Michelangelo’s naked masterpiece, even better. We can tell our future children how a seventeen-foot tall marble guy named David brought us together.

But there’s always more to a relationship than its beginning and ever after. In life, there’s a whole lot of backstory. There are ex-fiancés and hot roommates and family members whose advice continues, even beyond the grave.

When you say you love someone, it’s never just that one person you’re saying it to. And it’s never just that one moment that sets everything in motion.

There is always more that draws you in.

My Review

I absolutely loved this story. The cover didn't do it for me at first, but when I had read the story I get it, so the saying " Don't judge a book by it's cover" is so right in this case. This book was far better than the synopsis. I had forgot what the synopsis said when I started this, but WOW I think even the synopsis doesn't do it justice. 

Julie is an arts student and also fills her time working in a coffee shop. On a trip to Italy with her students and best friend Ian, someone bumps into her and the connection is their. 

Once back in the US, she cant stop thinking about this guy, then he walks into her coffee shop and into her life, but at what cost. 

I cant stress how much I loved this. I'm not going to say too much because i don't want to spoil it for you, I want you to read it and let me know what you thought. 

I don't know if it was meant to be funny, I don't normally read funny ones. But OMG seriously, I couldn't move for laughing with this at the beginning at Julie, surely no-one can be that clumsy. I laughed out very loud, sometimes not in very good places, on my lunch break while sitting on my own, In the doctors room. So a word to the wise, Do not read this in public places, people may think you are strange. 

Apart from it being funny, it was emotional, heartbreaking and endearing. 

I love Julie, she is strong without knowing she is. I love the relationship between her and Ian, her gay best friend. I loved her and Leo......

It was a late night/early morning reading this, but so worth it. I couldn't put it down once I started. 

Leo, is a gorgeous, hot Italian. Who means well but underneath that tough exterior their's a soft centre. 

Megan, This book is exceptionally, stunning. Its Fantastic, Funny. Everything has the perfect amount of everything in it, pace, flow. 

I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book gets 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments.

Welcome to Northern Nevada. The scenery is idyllic, the people are friendly and three Motorcycle Clubs rule the tri-city area between Reno, Carson City, and Lake Tahoe with an iron fist.

He’s no stranger to mayhem yet only one woman has ever made him feel worthy of redemption. He’s a survivor and luck has always been on his side until he is arrested and charged with the murder of an undercover ATF agent. His complicated life becomes more than he can handle when he is forced to face the only woman who has ever turned him inside out.

Excerpt

Now, I found myself in the same position with Cillian, and I couldn’t do it again. Not only because of Brianna but because I was in love with the fucking guy.

“Leave Brianna and we’ll pick up this conversation at another time. Until that happens…I don’t think I can do this.” My voice was small but firm.

He crawled over my body so he could face me. “Now you’re not playing fair. I told you I would leave her and I will. You can’t deny me—I won’t be able to do this without knowing you’re by my side.”

“And I will be when that Irish bitch is out of your life.” I gritted my teeth 
together. “You left me in a foreign country for her, and drop kicked my ass outta your life. Now, I’m supposed to drop everything because you give me a few empty promises after mind blowing sex? I want to believe you but we’ve got too damn much history between us, babe. I need to see some actions before I commit to anything.”

Cillian smiled wryly. “Always the fucking attorney. Fine, I’ll show you actions but you better keep up your end of the bargain.”

I turned over onto my side away from him. “Don’t worry about me. Unlike you, I don’t make promises I can’t keep.”

 

My Review

I liked this book. I liked the cover. The pace and flow were perfect. 

Cillian and Gisela were childhood sweethearts. Until their parents found out and they got seperated.  Gisela went on to do a law degree and Cillian stayed in the MC. 

When he goes to Gisela for help. The sparks fly. 

This book for me was good. It was a good story and I liked the characters. It has a bit of everything, bad boy, romance and excitement.

Gisela is a strong, Independent and has loved Cillian for ever. I loved their story. Cillian is the bad boy who wants to be good but because of family he has to do the bad. 


This story is really good.  

I give this 4/5

Review - Pushing The Line By Kimberly Kincaid

Synopsis

Free-spirited artist Harper McGee is happy to go wherever the wind takes her…until her flight pattern sends her back to Brentsville, New York for her beloved grandmother's funeral. Harper’s grief turns to shock, however, when she discovers her grandmother has named her sole proprietor of her candy shop, Luscious. But she has no intention of being anchored to one place, and anyway, she doesn’t know the first thing about running a kitchen or a business. Selling Luscious is the only viable option— until the shop catches fire due to old wiring. Fixing the damage requires major work, and if Harper wants to put it on the market, she needs major help.

Thrill-seeking firefighter Aaron Fisher has never walked away from a challenge or a friend. So when a fellow firefighter is hurt on a call and can’t complete a side job for his contracting company, Aaron’s quick to jump in. He’s done plenty of fix ‘er ups for his buddy in the past, and despite his silver spoon upbringing and his no-holds-barred attitude, swinging a hammer suits Aaron just fine. That is, until he discovers the client is the same impetuous woman he forcibly dragged from the flames of Brentsville’s local candy shop.

The more time Harper and Aaron spend at Luscious, the hotter their attraction burns, daring them both to shed their tough outer layers to reveal the tender desires beneath. But when a buyer makes Harper the offer of a lifetime, she must choose between roots and wings. Can two people who live in the moment learn to see past the moment, or will Aaron and Harper always live their lives pushing the line?

My Review

Harper McGee is estranged from her parents and she's fine with that, she takes care of herself. She goes where she wants, when she wants. Until the only person she cared about dies - Her Grandmother. And she leaves Harper with everything. Only Harper doesn't want it, she ready to run again. 

I Love this story. It was a story of fear, Friendship and love.  
I loved Harper, she's strong, but underneath everything she's soft. I LOVED Aaron. I loved the connect from the start. I like the way he Got her, he knew when to push and when to back off. 

Ladies another hotty on the block in the form of Aaron. AND he's a fireman !!!! ANYONE need a lift???

I love the cover and the title, they fit the story. The flow and pace of the story are just right. The length of the story is perfect (It's a Novella) I think if Kimberly had dragged it out it would of spoiled it. 

The book was brilliant. I read it in one sitting. It was light and heartfelt, and you routed for Harper all the way. 

Kimberly, I loved this book, It was fantastic. I loved Aaron. 

I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

This get 5/5 stars.

The Broken Parts of Us - Excerpt

Derek

I get to the entrance of the room she’s staying in and nearly collapse. The slither of a soft glow from the light cast across the landing from her room gives me a view through the gap looking into her room. I see her; she’s lying on the bed, her deep red hair fanned out across the cream sheets, her tanned bare skin on show for my private viewing. I feel like I should walk away, like I’m invading her privacy but when her hand slips into her panties I can’t look away and my cock tents the towel, demanding attention. Her soft pants fill the still air, her chest rising with every breath, her nipples peaking the white lace bra she has on barely covering her breasts.

“Ohhh” she moans. I have to lean against the frame to keep me steady. Her hand moving up and down more rapidly increases her moans. She’s writhing on the bed and her face is so stunning in the height of passion, “Derek……oh Jasper.”

She groans as she reaches her peak. Hearing my name and his leave her lips in an orgasm has me coming undone and I turn and hurry back to my room, stripping the towel and entering the shower. I fist my hard as steel cock and pump my fist a few times before the string of white come decorates the shower wall in an intense release, nearly bringing me to my knees.

*About Ker*

Ok guys i know that was short and sweet, but the cello tape is on, I don't want to tell you too much about this story, for fear of giving anything away or spoiling it. 

I will you, for a Debut book.... WOWWWW. This is the most amazing book I've read.  I have to tell you I couldn't put it down. I cried Big Fat Huge tears, I gasped, I went through the whole range of emotions. That you would expect from a seasoned author. 

If I had to pick a Favourite character it would definitely be Lillian and leo. For reasons you will discover when you read this book. Yes this book is that great I am frightened of letting anything slip. 

This book is one persons struggles. This book makes you sit up and think and stays with you long after you have read it. 

This Book is  Completely Stunning. Its an exceptional read.

About The Author 

What the hell is up y'all?! I'm Kimber, and I really freaking hope y'all enjoy AWGM! If you get a chance, throw me a review up on my FB page, www.facebook.com/AWGMbyKimberDawn or Goodreads if you loved it! I am a whore for reviews. 

Ahh... let's see, what can I tell you about my self... Well, first of all I'm a straight up whore for many, many things. I'm a wine whore, some would say I'm a functional alcoholic, and I'm totally cool with that title. Now the day my cheese completely falls off my cracker and I lose the functional in that title, well yeah never mind. Even then I'll deny that shit. I'm a whore for Victoria's Secret, no seriously, like my VS Angel's Credit Card stays maxed out, hey, they got cool shit. I have a whole lot of hats, meaning I can be called a billion different things, daughter, wife, mother, labor unit nurse, I sell pussy on the side *coughs* that would be persian kittens, thank you you dirty minded scoundrel, I'm also compulsive blackjack addict, book blogger, book pimp, book whore, Jack Daniels is my favorite boyfriend and my biggest dream, the day I'll acknowledge that I've succeeded in life and can a die a happy woman is the day I get to go two stark naked hour round sexual bouts with Jason Statham. *Sighs* I started writing poems and short stories very early in my life, you know for the Michael's and Leo's and Nick's in my life. I've been a book hoarder since I was eleven years old, but then a couple years ago something wonderful happened! The 50 shades of Grey craze brought to life my inner smut whore where I commenced to read anything and everything smut affiliated. When reading wasn't enough any anymore and I noticed that so many of the authors of my favorite books weren't getting the exposure their work deserved I turned it into a mission, starting my own blog, buying their books and reading them one by one, I then wrote my reviews for my blog and didn't hold back in writing them. I've never done a single thing in my life half way, I always go all in. After the success of my Blog, and the insistence of one of my bestest friends, my sister from another mister, Trina Taylor of Bad & DirtyBooks I was ready to finally take the plunge and write the story that's been restlessly clawing to get out of my head and onto paper for a VERY long time. I'm a southern girl to my core, a self proclaimed smut whore, and I guess now we can add aspiring author to my hat collection as well. 

Tattooed across my ribs are the words I have always lived by 'Aut viam inveniam aut faciam tibi' Latin for: If I can not find a way, I will make my own.

Cover Reveal - Destroyed By Pepper Winters

 

Title: Destroyed

Author: Pepper Winters

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Expected Release Date: February 2014

Hosted by: Love Between the Sheets Promotions

Synopsis

She’s a woman with a dirty secret. I’m complicated. Not broken or ruined or running from a past I can’t face. Just complicated. For good reason. I thought my life couldn’t get any more tangled in deceit and confusion. But I hadn’t met him. I hadn’t been sucked into his lies or taught to run from everything that he is. Instead, I let him ensnare me, seduce me, trap me with secrets—Hazel Hunter He’s a man with a killer secret. I’ve never pretended to be good or deserving. Despite the shadows I live in, I’m ultimately a slave to my secrets and that gives me a free pass to chase who I want, be who I want, act how I want. I didn’t have time to lust after a woman I had no right to lust after. I told myself to shut up and stay hidden. But how could I deny her? How could I deny my one chance at redemption? But then she tried to run. I’d found a cure to my existence and damned if I would let her go—Roan Fox And secrets silently destroy them.

Prologue

 

I didn’t believe her when she said she was complicated.

She didn’t believe me when I said I had secrets.

I didn’t understand the truth, even when she let me glimpse behind her mask.

She didn’t understand that I couldn’t live with the consequences.

I thought she was a saint.

She thought I was a sinner.

Too bad we didn’t try to find the truth.

We both paid the price.

We destroyed each other.
