Title: For All the Evers

Author: Debra Anastasia

Genre: Romance

Release Date: December 18, 2016

Synopsis

Fallen Billow should be in college like most of her friends, but instead she’s raising her brother and working as a housekeeper at a vintage local hotel. It’s back-breaking work, but not nearly as challenging as fending off unwanted advances from the hotel’s owner.

Thomas McHugh is fighting for our country, across the globe and decades before Fallen Billow was even born. So there’s no way they’re soul mates. There’s no way he can be desperate to see her, hold her, kiss her. Except there is.

Is it a dream when he inks his name on her skin? Is it a delusion when she puts her hands on his face and says she loves him? Nothing has ever felt more real.

Fate has etched paths for Thomas and Fallen that even time cannot touch. A Purple Heart proclaims Thomas’ valor and bravery. And his death. But Fallen dares to dream of the impossible. She wants Thomas to stay. Just stay.

A tribute to all who have served our country, this novel honors the impossible beauty of love and the endless power of hope. Come open your heart and celebrate the many facets of bravery with Fallen and Thomas.

Debra Anastasia has created a website for Thomas McHugh - the veteran the book is in honor of. (It is recommended readers look at this website after reading the book)

Excerpt

“I bet you were adorable.” He put his knuckle under her chin and encouraged her to lift her head. She rolled back over and settled against his shoulder.

“I don’t want to be adorable. I want to be impossible.”

“How do you mean?” He kissed her forehead.

“I want to be impossible for you to forget, impossible for you to keep your hands off of.” She leaned up for a kiss.

“You’re my impossible then. Have no fear.” He tenderly reminded her he was her impossible, too, with his lips.

She put her hand against his stomach and snuggled in. “This is my spot. Right here. With you—it’s home.”

He swallowed before talking to the ceiling. “My heart was like a fist. Where I am? It’s not a place you plan to survive. I’ve been there for years, and it’s not about skill; it’s not even about luck. You get strapped into a machine, and fate’s driving. You can’t get out even if you want to. So you submit to it. You harden your soul. You get ready to die.”

He shifted, rolling on top of her. She sighed in contentment. Being beneath him made her feel safe and secure.

He kissed her lips, then the tip of her nose, before continuing. “But with you, it’s like my heart’s opening up, and I’m terrified to feel, after all this time. Yet I don’t have a choice. No matter where I am, I draw your face whenever I get a scrap of paper.”

He laughed a little. “We found a puppy, and I named it Fallen, just so I could say your name over and over. The guys think I’m crazy—such a strange name for a dog. But I don’t care. I’m gasping for you every moment I’m awake. And I’m making choices to keep me alive through the week.”

His eyes searched hers. “What if I’m not as tough as I was in the beginning? God, I hope no one is affected by my distraction with this. But in the end there’s you. Only you. Do what you have to to get back to me when you’re awake. You have to. I need you more than air, more than life right now. The softness of you, the tenderness in your eyes when you see me. I’m trying to force fate to throw me in your direction. To hurl me at you somehow. I don’t know if it will work. But I’m praying for it.”

Fallen touched his face, then his neck. “I will do everything I can to find you.”

My Review

*ARC received in return for an honest review

Aaah, I FLOVED this book!!!

You know that warm fuzzy feel-good feeling you get when everything starts coming together at the end of the movie Love Actually? Well, that's how I felt after reading Dashing Through The Snow. This is the perfect book to warm you up on those cold winter nights.

If you're after pure holiday escapism at its very best there's only one person who can deliver it...M. Leighton. She knows how to weave a gripping and heartfelt story which will leave us wanting more and is a genius at creating new ways with props to make sexy scenes even sexier and hotter. S'mores anyone?

Dashing Through The Snow may be a short read but it's packed with lots of heat, plenty of emotion and all of the feels.

A deliciously hot and s'morish quick read to get you in the mood for the festive holidays. A definite MUST read!

My Review
*ARC received in return for an honest review

Get me a bucket of ice NOW!! Jeez, that was one HOT & dirty book I couldn't read fast enough, I practically devoured it! I've said it before and I'll say it again, this series just gets better with each book and hotter too! 

Hooked started off as it meant to carry on, at a fast enthralling pace, with the heat ramping up until the very end. If you've been following this sports romance series, and I truly recommend that you do, then you'll know Hooked is Riley Wilde's story and boy, is she wild!  

Mark was introduced in Fastball, the second book in the series, and I have to admit I didn't really notice him other than to guess he held a torch for Riley. But he's certainly proved himself to be a red hot blooded alpha male and damn, is he hot!! I'm drooling just thinking about him. Who knew golfing could be so hot? 

If you're looking for a quick read that will have you laughing out loud, leave you hot under the collar and ready to pounce on the next poor guy who walks by then 1-click this baby and get HOOKED.  It will take take you for a hot and fast ride, leaving you breathless and reaching for a cigarette, even if you don't smoke!

A.M. Hargrove & Terri E. Laine have definitely scored a hole in one with Hooked and I can't recommend it highly enough.

My rating...

Cover Reveal: For All The Evers by Debra Anastasia

Today is the cover reveal of a very special book by a wonderful lady, Debra Anastasia.

Below is a letter Debra would like to share with you all to show how much For all The Evers means to her.

The release date of For All The Evers,  December 18, will be a way for us to pay tribute to our veterans and people that are currently serving.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Uncle Tommy,

I wish I had known you. You died in World War II. I know you had no wife, no kids, no descendants other than your brother’s children. I’ve often wondered how life would have been different if you’d lived.

My mom never met you, but you’re talked about a lot. My grandpa, your brother, told us your stories. He was hilarious, and I guess you’re together now. That’s a good thing. I know he missed you. And I was proud of the stories I heard about you.

I’ve felt helpless because there’s no fixing the past, but now I realize maybe I can. This letter is to thank you for your sacrifice, but I went further than that. I finished the book I promised your niece I would write.

Hopefully, after people read this, you will be known. It is my dearest hope that you will be remembered. My readers are incredibly generous with their hearts, so I know you will be loved.

We haven’t forgotten you.

And we love you.

Deb

Title: Will 

Series: Not Your Average British Romance, Book 2 

Author: Kerry Heavens

Genre: Contemporary romance

Release Date: November 1, 2016

 

Synopsis

Will Middleton has no clue how much I want him. 

He looks at me like I’m an angel, 
And all I can think about is how he would look tied to my bed.

He’s the perfect gentleman. 
Amazing considering he’s related to The Spencer Ryan. 
He is everything Spencer is not. Sensitive, considerate, and unassumingly handsome. 
I’d like to show him that’s a good thing. 
But he broke my heart once, 
and I don't know if I can let him do it again.

Mags Goldsmith is a beautiful, confident heiress and she seems to want me. 
Although she really shouldn't. I'm not what she needs. 
She’s a goddess. And when I say goddess, 
I mean erotica writing siren, who knows more than one use for a riding crop

Everything I thought I knew about her has been rewritten,
And now she’s got me tied up in knots. 
She's everything I've ever wanted and more, 
I just have to prove I’m worthy.

This is not your average British romance. 
It's a tale of second chances, strap-ons, and of course sex oranges, 
All bound up and tied to a bedroom door.

Excerpt

She stares at me. I feel like I've bared all and she's still giving me no clue. I'm just about to pull my arm out of her grasp and walk away, when she leans in and presses her lips to mine.

All my resolve, all my hesitation goes out the window and I have her under me in a split second, pushing my tongue between her parted lips. It’s so unlike me, but I’m only human, I can only take so much longing before I break. Taking what I have needed for so long, I try to put my doubts out of my head. I know I’m not who she needs me to be and I can’t ever be, but right now I don’t care.

I’ve been alone without her. I can’t do it anymore. I need her.

“Thank God,” she gasps when I let her breathe. “I thought you didn’t want me.”

“Feel how much I want you now?” I grin, pushing the hard fact of my arousal against her.

“Uh huh.” She giggles, pulling my face back to hers.

I let myself relax into her, loving the feel of her body pressing against mine and kiss her, taking my time. I’ve wanted to do this for so long. Her hands find their way under my t-shirt and her nails lightly draw across my back sending a shiver down my spine.

I pull back from her lips, smiling as she opens her eyes. The light from the TV doesn’t do justice to the searing flecks of gold in her green eyes, but I have that indelibly marked in my memory, I don’t need to see it right now. There are however, things I do want to see. This might be a one shot deal and I’m not walking away from this wishing. Lifting off her enough to find the bottom of the t-shirt she’s wearing, I help her off with it, burying my face in her neck. She smells just like I remember and I want to eat her. 

Holy shit! I didn’t mean eat her, eat her…but fuck, I could, if she’ll let me. 

Hers was the first clit I ever licked and I think even back then I was pretty good at it. It’s worship in it’s purest form and I doubt any man has ever worshiped her like I did…do…and now I could remind her. I try to take my time making my way down, I want to bury my face between her legs like, yesterday. I'm aware that I'm rushing, a couple of kisses here and there as I ease down her body, but I can't slow down. 

Reaching her underwear, I'm already intoxicated by her heady scent. I grasp her knickers in both hands and peel them down, stopping dead in my tracks when I see that she is completely bare and as if this isn’t almost more than I can take right now, she has the word ‘Focus’ tattooed, just…there above her…you know. Like she knows she will have an intoxicating effect on whoever is lucky enough to read the word. I’ll be honest, it’s the one thing I can’t do right now. I think I might have swallowed my tongue.  

I can’t describe what this does to me. I’m sure it has some deep meaning, but fuck…what was I doing? Oh yeah, I was about to worship her like she has never been worshiped before. Show her that anyone else who has tried was simply pretending, because this is from the heart. Except now, I have performance anxiety. I mean, look at her. Stunning, and so boldly confident in her sensuality, that she has an instruction tattooed right by her perfectly waxed and ready…Je-sus! I can’t even think the word. 

About the Author

Sparkle, kink and all things ink. That's what Kerry Heavens is made of. Writing smutty, sometimes funny romance, with a touch of kink. Real characters and best friends you wish you had. A little ink thrown in here and there. HEAs guaranteed.
