CRAVE ME BY CECY ROBSON-VIRTUAL TOUR


It’s time for the sole sister in the family to discover love.



RT Book Reviews proclaims that the O’Brien Family series from award-winning author Cecy Robson “has the hottest brothers ever!” And in Crave Me, it’s time for the sole sister in the family to discover love.

Wren O’Brien isn’t your typical female. As the only girl from a loud Irish family with seven siblings, she prefers fast cars to lip gloss and bad boys to good men. It’s the reason she’s nursing a wounded soul and keeping her distance from a dangerous ex.

Evan Jonah is running an empire and just moved from the lavish thoroughfares of London to the gritty streets of Philadelphia. When he walks into the nearest dealership, he’s expecting to find a reliable vehicle to handle the brutal winters, not a sexy female car rep with killer legs.

Wren doesn’t know why “Hotness in a Suit” asked her out. She doesn’t expect a great time or a night of passion that knocks her on her ass. But that’s exactly what Evan shows her.

She also never counted on how hard and fast she’d fall. But men like Evan—good men with even better hearts—don’t desire tough-talking Philly girls for long.

Evan has never met a woman like Wren. But he’s up for the challenge and ready to prove her wrong.



This is my first book by this author and while it is part of a series, you are definitely able to read it as a standalone.

Wren and Evan were interesting characters and I loved their relationship.  I liked how tough she was, how willing she was to do what was necessary for her family, how close they all were.  I liked Evan as well, and the things he was willing to give up in order to save the company.

The writing was strong and so was the packing, for the most part.  I was not all that fond with the subplots with the secondary characters, as I thought a few of them detracted from the story...however, it is also one of the issues I had.  I thought there were important parts of the story that were not included, meetings, events, weddings that are made a big deal are not addressed in the story.  I think, for me to like this more, I would have liked fewer secondary characters and more time spent with the main characters and a few of those who were close to them.


That said, I enjoyed the book.  The chemistry was hot, it was well written, and I am definitely going to read Cecy Robson's next title.

I shouldn’t have remembered him.

He was just a guy who walked through a restaurant. I didn't know his name. We never made eye contact. There was no connection between us at all.

But I could feel him.

The tingle down my spine. The command in his presence. The snap of tension in the air around him. That was the first time I saw him, and I was captivated.

The second time was different.

He was in the mysterious back elevator of my apartment building. Our eyes met for a fleeting second before the doors closed, and I was staggered. My breath was robbed. My senses on high alert. My body hummed.

That was just the beginning.

He was the leader of the mafia. I was about to fall in love with him, and his name…

Cole Mauricio

I didn't begin writing until after undergraduate college. There'd been storylines and characters in my head all my life, but it came to a boiling point one day and I HAD to get them out of me. So the computer was booted up and I FINALLY felt it click. Writing is what I needed to do. After that, I had to teach myself how to write. I can't blame my teachers for not teaching me all those years in school. It was my fault. I was one of the students that was wishing I was anywhere but at school! So after that day, it took me lots of work until I was able to put together something that resembled a novel. I'm hoping I got it right since someone must be reading this profile! And I hope you keep enjoying my future stories.

SOMETHING IN THE WAY BY JESSICA HAWKINS-RELEASE BLITZ






It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents’ house. Under the sweat and dirt, Manning Sutter was as handsome as the sun was bright. He was older, darker, experienced. I wore a smiley-face t-shirt and had never even been kissed. Yet we saw something in each other that would link us in ways that couldn’t be broken...no matter how hard we tried.

I loved Manning before I knew the meaning of the word. I was too young, he said. I would wait. Through all the carefully-chosen words hiding what we knew to be true, through his struggle to keep me innocent, and through infinitely-starry nights—I would wait. But I’d learn that life isn’t always fair. That no matter how much you achieve, none of it matters if you suffer the heartbreak that comes with falling for someone you can never have. Because even though I saw Manning first, that didn’t matter. My older sister saw him next.

Jessica Hawkins writes the angst, the forbidden and the swoon worthy like no one else. I will admit, the heroine is 16, and I had reservations...but this is Jessica Hawkins, and there was no way she was going to write a book that was bad (she is just not capable of writing a bad book) so I dove in. And....

WOW.

I am going to need a minute to recover. I was up too late reading, I was crying, I was tortured, I FELT for the main characters, I hated the secondary characters (including one I think I was supposed to feel a little sorry for, oops) and I yelled at my Kindle when the book ended because I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. Yes, this deserves shouty caps. (Read it, and come back and tell me you agree, you will.)

Lake and Manning. She is 16 (trust me, you get over that quickly) and for obvious reasons, a relationship with an older man is a bad idea. But there is a friendship, and an attraction there that sets up one of the best slow burn relationships in the history of the slow burn. Seriously, this book is like a "how-to" of making the slow burn relationship work.

As always, the writing is perfect, the pacing moves quickly enough that you feel the tension of the main characters, but it is not overwhelming...until the cliffhanger ending when you will cry, scream and beg for more.

And, we get more. In MAY...because Jessica Hawkins knows how to leave you wanting more, May seems like a really long time from now.

I recommend this book, I would give it more than 5 stars if that were possible.



There are some people who can wait until an entire series is out to start it so they don't have to wait in between books...but I've never been one of those people. I also should mention that I'm usually one who shies away from angsty type books-but if Jessica Hawkins wrote it? I'm reading it.

From the moment I started reading I was hooked. I will admit that I instantly connected to Lake in a very personal way. I'm the baby in my family, the bookworm with an older sister that I simultaneously adored and couldn't stand. I grew up in the 90's so many things in this book just hit home for me.

The push/pull between all of these characters was amazing. You feel that burst of attraction, that girl finally feeling what it might be like to be a woman-with an older man. A man who doesn't want to want her. Doesn't want to have feelings other than protectiveness-even though he does. I felt like I was on a ferris wheel watching them below (read it, you'll get me) and my heart fell from the car when it was at the very top. I never picked it up again; reading the rest of the book just made my heart feel like it was walked over and crushed a million times.

Don't get me going on the secondary characters. I know they're there for a purpose. I understand their purpose...I think. But I don't like them (I'm looking at you, Tiffany).

When I finished this book I swear my finger kept trying to swipe the pages on my kindle, as if more would magically appear. But it didn't happen. This book was worth the heartache, the tears I shed. If I could give it more than five stars I would. I absolutely recommend this book.

DIRTY FILTHY RICH BOYS BY LAURELIN PAIGE-RELEASE BLITZ

sbpr-dfrb-rb

New York Times bestselling author, Laurelin Paige introduces an all new Dirty Filthy Rich World, with Dirty Filthy Rich Boys, a FREE prequel novella now LIVE!

dirty-filthy-rich-boys-final

When I met Donovan Kincaid, I knew he was rich. I didn’t know he was filthy. Truth be told, I was only trying to get his best friend to notice me.

I knew poor scholarship girls like me didn't stand a chance against guys like Weston King and Donovan Kincaid, but I was in love with his world, their world, of parties and sex and power. I knew what I wanted—I knew who I wanted—until one night, their world tried to bite me back and Donovan saved me. He saved me, and then Weston finally noticed me, and I finally learned what it was to be in their world.

Because when dirty, filthy, rich boys play, they play for keeps.


In order for a novella to work, it has to have the following: compelling characters, a storyline that engages you quickly, a fast pace, and a tight narrative that allows the story to build in what is a fraction of a normal book.

Check. Check. Check. Check.

Laurelin Paige is an author I one-click without reading the blurb. Now, yes, I read the blurbs, I want to know what she is going to give us next...but I know I am going to love it.

This was a novella, and also a prequel and chance to meet Donovan, Weston and Sabrina at college, when they meet, and 10 years prior to the events in the Dirty Duet. And what a meeting. Ms. Paige takes you from a light, college party to voyeurism, to the forbidden and into the darker...in 5 chapters. She definitely sets the stage for what is to come, tells you who you will be getting to know, a little bit about them, who they are...and an idea of who they were for when you meet them 10 years later.

It's a ride worth taking and one of the best novellas I have ever read.

I can't wait to meet the men.


I'm a fan of Laurelin Paige and was so intrigued when I read this blurb-and I was not disappointed. College settings can be tricky-but I definitely wanted to see this author's take on that.This novella caught me right away and left me so anxious to read the next book in this series.  

The characters sucked me in from the start.  I'll say I felt like I was right in the environment with them, not reading from a distance.  I was on that college campus, attending class and drawn to these young men.  The title could not be more fitting for this book.  The dynamics between these three characters was not what *I* initially expected, to be quite honest, but oh I loved it.  I absolutely loved it.

I'm dying to see what happens in the next book.  I want to see what these men have become in the years since we've seen them-and see how Sabrina will handle herself around them.  I highly recommend this novella. It sets the stage for what is sure to be an epic duet from Laurelin Paige.

MR. POPULAR BY NICOLE LONDON-RELEASE BLITZ








Rule #1: Do not vote for Mr. Popular.


Rule #2: Do not talk to Mr. Popular.


Rule #3: (Most importantly, and above all) Do not fall for Mr. Popular...

Liam 'Mr. Popular' Carter will always be the closest thing to the "walking plague" in my eyes. His cockiness seeps through his every move, and no matter how many state championships he wins with the basketball team, he will forever be a "loss" to me.

Because he's my older brother's best friend, I'm forced to tolerate him, and he's forced to tolerate me. In fact, unless my brother is around, we happily ignore each other every chance we get.

It wasn't always this way, though...

Several summers ago, we both attended the same summer camp. A place we returned to year after year. We became friends--close friends, but right when I thought he could possibly turn into my everything, he made it clear that what we had was nothing.

Now that's he's a senior, and I only have to deal with him for one more year, I've vowed to keep repeating the same set of rules to myself. Especially since he seems so hell-bent on wanting to talk to me for some reason, and especially since he seems to be staring at me every time we're in the same room together...

Rule #4: Always follow rules #1-3...

Rule #5: (OMG what the hell are you doing?) Do not KISS Mr. Popular...
