Wanna Get Wrecked???

Arc Tour: Wrecked by Shiloh Walker


Wanna get Wrecked???!!


Wrecked by Shiloh Walker will be released on April 2, 2013. Here’s your chance to read it.

There are 5 spots availabl
e on this tour.

Here's how it works: The book starts with me-then, after I finish reading it, I will mail it to the next person on the tour (the person living closest to me).

Each person has ONE WEEK to read Wrecked. At the end of the week, you mail it to the next person on the tour.
 I will email you the next person’s info. When you mail it out you will then email me & the next person the confirmation # --the USPS does lose packages. The confirmation helps keep track.

Reviews are to be posted the last week two weeks of March or the first week of April. If you cannot commit to this, please do not enter.

Participants are responsible for the cost of shipping & confirmation. The ARC must be mailed via USPS Priority Mail *Flat Rate Envelope* with Delivery Confirmation-$6.75 is the approx. cost). Due to time constraints (and the post office) the tour is limited to US residents only.

To participate, you must have an active book blog.

 Book Blurb:

 In the nineties, Abigale Applegate and Zach Barnes were the most beloved sitcom child stars in the world.

Then they grew up and left Hollywood behind…

 Whatever happened to Abigale Applegate?

 She’s been wondering the same thing.

 With her Hollywood dreams long gone, Abigale now has a nice, neat, uncomplicated life—until the day her perfect fiancĂ© needs to talk. Dumped, a little more than shattered, and totally confused, Abigale turns to Zach, her best friend since forever, to help her pick up the pieces. He does it with a gift—a copy of Wreck This Journal. She can vent her frustrations, and sketch out a new plan. Zach just hopes he’s part of it. Because he’s been in love with Abigale his entire life.

 When the journal falls into Zach’s hands, he discovers Abigale wants a new man. And fast. Nothing more than a hot distraction. Zach has a strategy, too. He’s going to be that man. It’s his last chance. Abigale might be out to shake up her life, but Zach’s out to reinvent it. Now, all he has to do is convince Abigale that life can go as planned.

Opal Carew's new serial novel His To Command releases today 01/08

What's a serial novel you ask??
well, it's a old concept that seems to have gotten new life lately. Parts of the book are released every week, bi-weekly, monthly or whatever amount of time is decided. Maybe it will be 4or5 chapters every 2 weeks or 6 chapters every 4 weeks. Either way this older concept of the serial story has been seeing a brand new life of late, and one of the authors who is releasing a serial novel is Opal carew!
 
As a matter of fact the first 2 installments of His To Command release today!
I was lucky enough to be chosen by Opal Carew's publisher to receive an early copy of installment #1 for review.
 
 
His to Command #1 The Chase





His To Command #1: The ChaseFrom author Opal Carew comes the first sizzling segment in the erotic serial novel His to Command that explores one woman's surrender to desire at the hands of a dominant billionaire.
Strong, independent, smart, Kate is a modern business woman who knows exactly how to run her well organized world. But underneath her professional exterior lurks a secret she's been running from for years...a secret desire to be dominated that both exhilarates her and terrifies her. When an old lover, Matt Pearce, unexpectedly shows up, Kate is bombarded by sensual memories of their affair. Matt was the first and only man to give her a taste of domination, and she's never been able to forget. But though she's spent years trying to forget him, this time she may not be able to get away.


The first question I asked myself is...how do I review part of a book? I am not too sure on this but here goes nothing....or something
 
So far, so good! It seems to be typical Opal Carew writing (which I very much always enjoy)
There haven't been too many hawt scenes, YET! But, knowing Opal's writing I am very sure this will eventually get extremely hot! The first installment sets the backstory of this couple. It gets the reader ready to jump right in with what's to be. This is the first serial that I have read (that I remember anyway) and after reading just the first installment of this one, I know I am so ready for more of it. I cannot give a rating since this is really only about the first few chapters. I think later on down the road, I will rate it.

Here are the release dates for this serial:

1/8/2013 #1 The Chase and #2 The Capture
1/15/2013 #3 The Revalation
1/22/2013 #4 The Arrangement
1/29/2013 #5 The Submission
2/5/2013 #6 The Surrender

Naughty New Years Blog Hop



Happy 2013!

The new year always brings on discussions about resolutions. Whether it's around the water cooler at work or while you're having cocktails with your friends, most people vow to lose weight, quit smoking, or some such vow that is always broken by January 20th.

In light of the tragedy on 12/14 in Connecticut and because of a huge health scare earlier this year with my Mom I decided this year to go about it a bit different.

I am going to vow to be a better person for my family! Be a better Mom to my children, a better wife to my husband, a better daughter to my Mom, and a better sister to my other siblings.

These days families seem to just grow apart and my family is no different. We all have our busy hectic lives,but that shouldn't mean we can't make the time to get together or even just check in with each other. I vow to change all of that. It is family that makes us who we are, It is family that should always be by your side no matter the circumstances.

Ok, enough of me on my soapbox!
I truly hope you are able to stick to whatever your resolution may be this year.

Tart





Juliet Lamprey is having the time of her life running her successful bakery, TART, when Gideon Carter comes back into her life. Returning home to help his grandfather run the family farm, Gideon is back for good. When they meet again, the spark between them is immediate, and it isn’t long before the former childhood friends play catch up—in bed.

That’s not good news for local lawyer Cal Whaley. Though the sexually open but strictly monogamous Cal has loved Jules for a long time, he’s hardly ever taken it further than friendship. When he sees her start to fall for Gideon, he knows he has to make his move or risk losing her forever.

Who would have anticipated that all three of them would connect on such an intimate level? The trio’s scalding liaisons take them places they’ve never dreamed. But such an intensely passionate and unusual relationship comes with equally as complicated emotions, and when Jules must suddenly leave town, she wonders if she’ll have a choice to make when she returns…
