Blog Tour - Clarity By Gabbie S Durran

Title: Clarity
Author: Gabbie S. Duran
Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 11, 2015
Her world was shattered and broken. 

Damaged ... is how she viewed herself. 

Untrustworthy … is how she viewed men. 

Taylor never expected to open her heart to anyone. Nick is a player, in every sense of the word, but finds himself doing anything to earn her trust — including fighting the demons she harbors inside. 

Is he the clarity she’s been seeking, or will her past push him away?
Tears are cascading down my cheeks now. The pain and sorrow of speaking about it has taken over. Admitting I want nothing more than to forget should have me feeling shameful for giving up, but instead the admission has me feeling some sense of relief for standing up for myself. It’s all I ever wanted from the moment I left that small town. To forget and never look back.
“So he just wins?”
“He only wins if I let the action of what he did to me rule my life.”
“It should have never happened,” Nick repeats.
“This is why you need to walk away, Nick.”
We both remain silent after I state the words. A grim atmosphere overtakes the entire room for the next several minutes. My heart has always been broken, but knowing Nick may heed my words and walk away has me dreadfully holding my breath, preparing myself for the heartache to come.
“Is he why you’ve been pushing me away? Because you think that way of yourself?”
“Yes,” I rasp out. “Trust is still the hardest thing for me to do. It’s easier to not trust, than to have it broken,” I announce to him, trying to swallow the lump that is sitting in my throat.
“That’s all you’ve ever expected from me, isn’t it? For me to break your trust?”
Closing my eyes, I laugh humorlessly. “You’ve already done it several times.” He seems puzzled as he takes in my answer. “You don’t take orders very well,” I remind him.
He grins, the simple turn of his lips lightening the despair surrounding us.
“That was before I realized just how important you are.” His confession has the dark walls surrounding my heart slowly shattering. “I’m a determined man, Taylor, and I’m determined to earn your trust,” he declares.
“Why?”
Placing his hand on my cheek, he says, “I can’t explain it, Taylor, but since the day I met you I knew you were different. You were someone I knew I couldn’t let go of.”
My once shattered heart is slowly mending. The sympathy he was giving is replaced with affection, and suddenly I want to fight to hold onto it.
“All I ask is that you give me a chance to earn your trust, Taylor.”

My Review 

I really liked this book. It had me hooked from the start. It was easy to read because it flowed perfectly. It was one of those books that is effortless to read, when you get to the end, your like Wow finished already, when really its been a few hours. 

I love the Characters, Taylor, Nick and Kate, I think Kate and Taylor are a perfect balance of best friends. I love the story, and it pulled at my emotions, you find yourself rooting for Taylor. And Nick, Hot, Sexy what more can you ask for. 

This book is amazing, so well written, it pulls you in from the beginning. 

I give this 4/5 stars.

Title: Now Leaving Sugartown
Series: Sugartown #4
Author: Carmen Jenner
Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance
Cover Designer: Cover It! Designs
Release Date: March 2, 2015



Synopsis



Pepper Ryan grew up the troublesome, spoiled child of a rock god. With her less-than-stellar parentage, and the bipolar disorder that has plagued her existence, to say this little firecracker is a handful would be the understatement of the century.

Sammy Belle spent more than half his life saving Pepper. He’d been her strength, her sanity, and the protective brotherly figure she never wanted to have.

They were never meant to be together.

They gave in anyway.

And just when Sammy thought he had everything he wanted, Pepper ran.

Now twenty-three, Pepper returns to Sugartown, a failed tattoo artist with one too many screws loose who’s down on her luck, wielding an ice cream van as beaten up as her heart.

Sugartown’s most coveted bachelor has always been content with the quiet life he leads until Pepper, the hellion from his past, returns to test his strength, his patience, and perhaps even his sanity. But two can play at that game, and Pepper is about to learn that Sam can give as good as he gets.

Can this good country boy survive Pepper’s cruel city world, or will the whole thing be put down to a bout of temporary insanity?

One thing is for certain:

He’s crazy about her.

She’s just crazy.

Warning: Intended for an 18+ audience. Contains sexual content, oodles of profanity, a firefighter so hot you may need a very cold shower, and one pink-haired crazy Harajuku girl.

Excerpt


Pepper

I stare at Sammy for entirely too long. He absentmindedly brushes a hand over his chin, an attempt to remove crumbs that aren’t there. Because why the hell else would I be staring at him like I wanted to give birth to his giant, Viking children?

“What?”

“You’re a lollipop man and you work in a nursing home?”

“Yeah.” He mutters around a mouth full of bread.

“You’re like mother fucking Teresa.”

“Don’t start. Jake gives me enough shit over this stuff.”

Jake lets out a chuckle that has me impaling him with a single look. “You haven’t even heard the best part yet.”

“There’s more? What, did he create the fucking universe?”

“Sam’s a volunteer firefighter.”

OH. MY. EXPLODING. OVARIES.

I think I just came a little.

“Was, a volunteer firefighter. Now they pay me for it. And I don’t think you can claim sainthood from an occupation.”

“Dude. See that? That glazed over look in her eyes right there? This is why you need to be telling bitches that shit when we go out to pick up. Look at her, right now she’s imagining sliding down your fireman’s pole. I’m telling ya, you gotta use that shit, man. It’s fucking gravy, baby.” He laughs again, and then says, “Or baby gravy, depending on which way you look at it.”

“Shut the fuck up.” Sammy says.

Something occurs to me just then. Sam is a fireman. Okay just for a second, put aside the fact that you’re imagining those rock hard abs all greased up and covered in soot, and ash, and splashed all over the month of January, and think about this. Sam is a fireman. Fireman S—“Holy shit!” I exclaim, so loud that every pair of eyes in the room turn to look at me “You’re fireman Sam! We used to watch that show?” I implore, and then, because I don’t feel I’ve made enough of an arse of myself I sing the theme song, finishing with a pointed, “You are the hero next door!”
Jake’s loud guffaw fills the room. “Fireman Sam. Dude that’s fucking gold!”

Synopsis
They say there's a fine line between love and hate.

There is.

I married a douchebag.

I didn't know it at the time.

He came in like a handsome stranger and blew me off my feet.

I fell madly in love, like the naive girl I am.

Then he left me high and dry.

Turns out, I was nothing more than a business plan for billionaire playboy, Marcus Tandem.

He needed to be married in order to obtain his grandfathers business, and I was the poor victim in his path.

I believed in what we had, until the truth reared its ugly head.

I never meant anything to Marcus. Not a damned thing.

With my world spinning on its axis, the girl I once was has long since died.

Instead he left me as this empty, emotionless shell.

I may have made a vow before God to love and cherish him ‘Til Death do we part, but it’s time for me to give back to Marcus, exactly what he gave me.

He has to pay.

And pay he will.

My Review

You know I have been sat here at my laptop for over hour just staring into space, trying to write this review, to do it justice, to write something different than what I usually write when I review one of Bella Jewels Books.................

But It's plain and simple, I cant. I cant think of anything original to say except what I always say about a Bella Jewel book. 

OMG, IT'S FREAKIN' AMAZING........ 

It's that simple!!!!!!

If you have been hiding away an have not yet experienced a book by Bella Jewel, SERIOUSLY .... You need to get on it NOW. 

Ok, seriously, so you all know I am a big Bella Jewel fan and Love her work. She's in my top three favourite author's. However that's not the reason I rate her book 5 stars, Its because she's exceptionally talented. From the first page your hooked. It like being on a health kick with food, and YOU KNOW you need to stay away from chocolate, but it follows you everywhere, you keep going back just to look, to see if it's still there, SCREAMING "EAT ME".  

It's the same with this book. I KNEW once I started to read it, there wasn't going back, so my plan was to read it in bed with no distractions, let me tell you if the CIA, MI5 would of asked me for secret's, I'm sorry I'd of told, just to be able to read it sooner. It was PURE TORTURE waiting till bedtime. 

BUT, OMG it was sooooooo worth it. It was finally like sinking your mouth round the most gooey, heavenly chocolate and enjoying every bit. 

The extraordinary talent that IS Bella Jewel, had me on the end of the bed, gasping, crying, screaming out loud, talking to myself, It's a good job I was on my own otherwise people would of thought I was CRAZY. This book is the final book of Til Death, and it was so worth the wait. Its emotionally stunning, flawlessly written, amazing characters. Its a book that will enthral you from the start. It will leave it place in your mind long after you have read it. 

It quite simple..... GO AND BUY THIS SERIES.

I give this book 5/5 stars and 5/5 for movie moments.

Blog Tour - No One's Surrender By Kelly Walker

Title: No One's Surrender
Series: Chadwell Hearts #3
Author: Kelly Walker
Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance
Release Date: December 29, 2014
Chelsea Arnold is not a Chadwell, as her mother incessantly reminds her. 

And if she doesn’t learn to play the game, she’ll never see a dime of her new step-daddy’s money. So Chelsea puts on the act and dutifully follows the Chadwell family rules: everyone has to work in the family bar to learn life lessons. Little do they know, she already knows the biggest lesson of all: the best thing to be is underestimated. Then they’ll never see you coming. And in a few more weeks when she’s tucked enough cash away, she’ll be out of here, leaving her new family and her washed-up mother behind, because all Chelsea wants is freedom. Inheritance be damned.

But when her step-father learns he has a son he never knew about, it throws her plan off the tracks. While another son and an ex-wife sharing her husband’s affections are too much for Chelsea’s mother to handle and she heads for the hills, the rough around the edges Warren “Ware” Chadwell is enough to tempt Chelsea to stay. Despite the fact that all he has to offer is everything she’s determined to shy away from, the boy from the wrong side of the tracks knows how to push her buttons in all the right ways, no matter how wrong it is.
I lift my chin a bit higher, refusing to be ashamed. I can’t see any trace of the confident swagger Ware displayed last night, but I know he for damn sure knows how sexy he is—and he uses it to his advantage—so he can’t blame me for being affected by it.
Ware shoves his hands in his pockets, staring at me so openly that I’m overcome by the urge to take a physical step back. And it’s not just that he’s devastatingly handsome—which he is, which feels a bit weird to say now that I know he’s my brother’s brother—but I think I see something underneath his angry veneer. Ware is vulnerable, and I know that feeling all too well. “I need you to not screw this up for me—and I know, I know. You don’t owe me shit and you’ve got no reason to help me, and fuck I hate asking you to help. But I need this.”
I’m momentarily taken by surprise. Screw this up for him? Screw what up, and how? “Well you know, I walk around each day plotting about whose day can I royally fuck up, and you seem like a great random candidate, so that might be a little hard. Why not make it easy for me and tell me what it is you think I’m going to screw up.”
His lip twitches, and I know he’s trying not to smile. “I need something from Tucker—”
“—Your father, you mean.”
“Tucker,” he says with enough force that I drop it. For now. “He’s insisting that he wants to get to know me, and he wants Axel and I to get to know each other as well.”
I choke back a snort. That’s going to go over just brilliantly.
“So he wants me to work at the bar, and have dinner here once a week.”
“I fail to see how you think I’m going to screw this up for you. I don’t have any control over who does or doesn’t work at the bar, and I’m sure that you and I can get along fine, even if I am ‘one of them.’ So we screwed once, and it was great. Not the end of the world, and not the first person I’ve slept with then had to work with the next day.” And it’s extremely awkward between Dougie and I now, but I keep that to myself.
Ware cuts the distance between us in half. “Just great?” He wags an eyebrow and it’s all I can do to keep a straight face. The way my heart is beating having him close to me, I’m pretty sure it’s training for a marathon.
I gulp, then nod. “Uh huh.” Ware is moving closer and I wet my lips with a quick flick of my tongue. I’m not sure, but the way he’s gazing into my eyes, I almost think he’s about to kiss me. And I’m not sure how I feel about that. If I had to guess, my extreme reactions to him are at least partially because of the way I allowed my mind to elevate him to sex-god status after last night, assuming I’d never see him again.
But now he’s here, and obviously not going anywhere, so I’ve got to readjust my thinking.
He stops when his lips are just inches from mine. “What happened between us was so not great. It was off the fucking charts, and if you weren’t who you are, I’d be tempted to go a second round to make that clear.”
My Review 
I loved this series. It the kind of series that will make you want to find that quite spot and read all three books at once. Once you start you just get lost in the world of Chadwell. 

 It's the story that once you start reading you don't want to stop. There was plenty of shouty moments and OMG, for me, a sign of a great book i think. 

 I will definitely read more by Kelly Walker.  The story has plenty of that special ingredient that makes you just want to keep reading. AND there are hot men what more can you ask for right. 

 This book is an amazing read. And an author you need to get to know. 
I give this book 5/5 stars.
