AMNESIA BY CAMBRIA HEBERT-SIGNED PAPERBACK GIVEAWAY

***GIVEAWAY! SIGNED PAPERBACK OF AMNESIA BY CAMBRIA HEBERT***

Amnesia: Amnesia Duet Book One by [Hebert, Cambria]

I washed ashore in a little lake town. 
A place where everyone knows everyone, yet…
No one knows me.
I don’t know me.
If a woman doesn’t know her own name, does she really exist?
I don’t know my natural hair color, my birthdate, or where I live.
I am invisible.
To everyone, to everything, even to myself.
Except to him. 
I see the recognition deep in his stare, the way it lingers on my face as if I’m a puzzle he’s desperate to put together.
I just want answers, the truth… knowledge. 
His lips are sealed. Still, his eyes beguile me.
I can’t trust anyone, not even myself. Someone wants me dead, the same someone who tried to bury me in a watery grave. 
They’ll come for me again… I won’t know their face.
I don’t even know mine.
I am amnesia.

FOLLOW ME BACK BY A.L. JACKSON - RELEASE BLITZ AND REVIEW



The next seductive, unforgettable stand-alone romance in the FIGHT FOR ME series from NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author A.L. Jackson . . .
Kale Bryant. Arrogant. Gorgeous. Commanding.

This ER doctor is married to his job. His only vice is one-night stands and short-lived flings. He learned a long time ago loving someone isn’t worth the risk.

Harley Hope Masterson. Beautiful. Brave. Sweet.

The owner of a small coffee shop knows what it’s like to struggle. Embroiled in a bitter divorce, she’s threatened with losing everything.

When Kale accepts a new position down the street from Hope’s shop, he begins to question every wall he’s built around his heart.
He wants her in a way he hasn’t wanted anyone.

One touch is fire.

One kiss, and he’s spinning out of control.

But taking her won’t come without consequences.

Hope is in for the fight of her life. One neither of them saw coming.

Now Kale must decide if loving her is worth risking it all.

She will fight with everything she has.

But sometimes even hope needs a hero . . .


This was my first title by A. L. Jackson, and it won't be my last.  Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, everywhere I went, people were posting about loving this title, and now that I have read it, I see why.

Her writing style is polished and accessible, you feel like you are reading about real people, with real emotions and real issues.  The characters work, even the ones you are not supposed to like, the villain, seems real.

Kale and Hope have chemistry, and a connection that you believe from the first minute they both catch the other's eye in a bar.  Kale comes across as a player, and he is, but he has a reason for it, and the reason is one that he keeps close to him, and really doesn't share often.  But, once you know what it is, you love him even more for it.  Hope, she also has her reasons for resisting the pull that she has to Kale.  And, like Kale, her reasons make sense, and you believe them.

This book is angsty.  But in a different way.  Let me try to explain.  There are books that pull on your heart because the characters are apart, there are books that make you want to watch the characters fight to be together, and there are books where outside forces pull against the characters being together.  That is the usual angst.  But, in this book, the angst is more internal.  Yes, there are outside influences, but when it comes down to it, both Hope and Kale have their own, very personal reasons, for fighting what they are feeling.

Angst, in order to work, has to be something I am willing to believe.  Without specifics, I once read a book that the character angst was focused on one of the couple getting a job in a town that was 2 hours away.  And, this was the issue.  And, I found myself having a tough time relating to that angst as moving somewhere in the middle seemed like a simple solution to stay with the love of your life.  So, if the angst feels manufactured, I have a tough time with it.

But, in this book, I believed it.  Did I totally agree with the reasons?  No, not always.  But, and this is what matters, I believed the characters did, and I believed that was reasonable.  They were torn and they really believed that stepping away, and letting each other walk away, was best for everyone.

I liked Kale in this.  I liked that he is a genuinely nice guy.  He is one of those guys that you want to get to know, that you feel sorry for, and that you believe would carry the guilt of the past on his shoulders, whether he deserved it or not.

I enjoyed this title, and I recommend it.

WILDCAT BY MAX MONROE-BLOG TOUR



Blurb: 

Wildcat: a football formation in which the ball is snapped, not to the quarterback, but to another player lined up in the quarterback position.

Wild, Cat: a beautiful woman from the sky, who hooked me against the rails, and has me on the ropes. Sweet like honey, with a hint of sass burning behind her pretty brown eyes, she took over my heart without warning.

I’m Quinn Bailey, quarterback for the New York Mavericks.

Sports analysts predicted I’d break records and take my team all the way.

But no one predicted this.

And just like the other team, I never saw it coming.

Disclaimer:

Things this book is:

· Romantic Comedy

· #1 in the Mavericks Tackle Love Series

· Can be read as a complete standalone.

Things it isn’t:

· Paranormal: The only thing magical is inside Quinn Bailey’s pants.

· Boring: Pssh, please. Max Monroe doesn’t do boring.

· Short: Prior to reading, prepare yourself for one huge, long, thick…book.

Disclaimer: 
Unfortunately, you many not MARRY this book without proper consent from the authors. 

Though the idea of a spouse who does nothing but provide you endless laughs for hours at a time, turn you on, make your heart swell, and require nothing but your undivided attention for several hours in return sounds nearly orgasmic, there are laws. And the Fictional Municipality only allows twenty book wives at a time. 

Due to high demand for a significant other that encourages you to leave the dishes in the sink, the laundry in the washer, and the vacuum in the closet unattended, we've implemented a shift schedule of marital proprietorship. You will be rotated accordingly.


I love Max Monroe-truly, I love them. When I saw that they were starting a new series, a football one no less, I couldn't wait to dive in and get started. Wildcat was a hot, fun, sexy with a side of serious book and I truly enjoyed it.

I knew I was going to love Quinn. As a fan, I know him a tiny bit from The Bad Boys Billionaire Series BUT if you haven't read those books that's ok! This is a standalone. I thought he was fun, sexy and flirty. He just made me smile right from the start. He's kind and down to earth, which is at odds with his profession to most. It'd be easy for him to be a Playa, and he's just not that guy. I absolutely fell for him.

I liked Cat a lot as well. I thought she was sassy and smart. I liked getting the glimpse into her career; I thought that presented a unique challenge to this romance. I liked her attitude and I liked her friends as well. I will say I wanted to know a tiny bit more of her, but that's just me.

I loved the chemistry between these two. They just clicked and you could feel it. I loved their journey. The sexy times were sexy, and the serious times between them-the ones I didn't exactly see coming-were well done too. I believed in this couple.

The supporting characters had me smiling. It was a mostly fun read and one I read through quickly. I love Max Monroe's writing style and it shone in this book. I'm really looking forward to the next in the series! I absolutely recommend this book!



This is my 2nd title by Max Monroe. I was not able to connect with the first title I tried, but I always try to give an author more than one chance before I decide they are one that just doesn't connect with me.

Why am I telling you this at the beginning of a positive review; you ask? Well, because the reasons that I didn't like the last one were not present in this. There's a certain type of humor that I have come to expect from this author duo, based on the things I have seen and their online presence. And while there were some pretty funny one-liners, there was also substance to this title. So, if you are, like me, someone who maybe hasn't connected with this author in the past, I say that this might just be the book you should try again with.

I liked Quinn and I liked Cat. It took a little while for the book to get going for me, and there was some banter at the beginning of the story that I thought possibly went on a little longer than I would have liked, it worked overall as you got to know the characters as they got to know one another.

For the most part, I enjoyed the plot and the supporting characters. There was a part that I felt was a little predictable, but as it is also (unfortunately) still a reality in a lot of this country, I can't fault them for including it as part of the story.

The pacing, for me, was a little unbalanced with it being a little slower at the beginning than it was at the end. I would have liked a little more time with them as a couple, and that development. But, overall I was able to enjoy the story without feeling too thrown by the pacing.

The writing was seamless and I was not really able to tell a difference when one author was writing over the other, which is always a bonus with a co-written title.

I went into this book not really knowing what to expect, but what I got was a story I enjoyed with characters I was able to relate to and found interesting.

I recommend this title and I am looking forward to others in the series.
