With the loss of her
sister still weighing down both her conscience and her heart, Kailin
Odel must take on the next part of her mission – find her mother and
Anjelo and bring them back from Wrythiin.

Kailin uses her
mother’s portal key and enters the Wraith world intent on saving the
ones she loves, but from the moment she arrives her mission is fraught
with peril.
Arriving in Wrythiin, Kai steps right into the middle of a
Wraith rebellion. And only to find that though Anjelo is safe, her
mother is held captive by a subversive faction of Wraiths once led by
the Wraithlord that Kai had killed.

From Wraiths to
Shapeshifters, rebel causes to fraying family ties, to inexplicable new
powers, Kai must fight her darkest demons while entering the blackest
pits of Wrythiin to save her mother.


    
I have been a writer from the time I was old enough to recognize that reading
was a doorway into my imagination. Poetry was my first foray into the art of
the written word. Books were my best friends, my escape, my haven. I am
essentially a recluse but this part of my personality is impossible to practice
given I have two teenage daughters, who are actually my friends, my tea-makers,
my confidantes… I am blessed with a husband who has left me for golf. It’s a
fair trade as I have left him for writing. We are both passionate supporters of
each others loves – it works wonderfully…
 
My heart is currently broken in two. One half
resides in South Africa where my old roots still remain, and my heart still
longs for the endless beaches and the smell of moist soil after a summer
downpour. My love for Ma Afrika will never fade. The other half of me has been
transplanted to the Land of the Long White Cloud. The land of the Taniwha,
beautiful Maraes, and volcanoes. The land of green, pure beauty that truly
inspires. And because I am so torn between these two lands – I shall forever
remain cross-eyed.

Where to begin on telling you how much I love this book! The action and Charters seem to just explode off the pages at you. Ryker is all alpha male; you can’t get enough of him. Faith is going to just break your heart! So much hurt that you want to fix everything for her and slap her all at the same time!  The spark that is between Ryker and Faith is just unbelievable.  I love every minute of this book and could not put it down until I turn the last page, then I still didn’t want the story to end. Stacey did an awesome job bring the charters and story to life.  You feel like you are right there seeing the pain, heartache, and betrayal. 

 

I am looking forward to read more from Stacey Lynn. 

 

Synopsis

Lies. Heartbreak. Betrayal.

No one knew the devastation of those three words more than Faith Winston and five years ago, she endured every one of them. All she wanted was to feel safe and marry the very man who promised to love her and protect her, Ryker Knight.

But growing up in the Nordic Lords Motorcycle Club, she should have known she couldn’t have a happy ending. Instead, her world became a nightmare. The bikers—her family—abandoned her, leaving her to crash without their safety net.

Ryker Knight has spent the last five years consumed with guilt, running from the ghosts that haunt him. That is until his past catches up with him the moment his brother needs his help. Returning home to Jasper Bay, he’s forced to face the same ghosts he was running from. Only to find that the woman he loved is trapped in a hell of her own, entrenched behind enemy lines —and it’s all his fault.

And even though Ryker’s life comes with priorities that he can’t – and won’t – turn his back on, he refuses to leave Jasper Bay until he’s found Faith.

But will she want to return to the life she’s always wanted even if Ryker is no longer capable of giving her what he once promised?

Cowgirl Crazy by Becky McGraw ♥ Blog Tour

Standard

Buy Links

 Cowboys are a different breed…
They work hard, play hard and love harder.
It’s all about the ride, until the right woman
makes them fall.
Sexy cowgirl Twyla Taylor is the right woman for rodeo Romeo, bronc
rider, and her and brother’s best friend, Ryan Easter. He just doesn’t
know it yet…

COWGIRL CRAZY (#2, Cowboy Way) by Amazon Bestselling Author Becky McGrawBLURB:Twyla Taylor is one frustrated cowgirl. She’s not winning at barrel
racing or in love. She’s spent ten years nursing a crush on her
brother’s best friend, Ryan Easter, who thinks of her as no more than
his little sister. When Twyla catches Ryan with yet another no-good
buckle bunny, and calls him out, he tells her to get a life, and that is
exactly what she decides to do. One that does not include a
buckle-bunny-chasing cowboy with a bad attitude, or an overbearing older
brother.

Ryan Easter is one frustrated cowboy. He’s winning
every night at bronc riding, and has a different woman in every city.
Mostly so he can keep his best friend’s fiery little sister, and his
desire for her, at bay. Since she grew those proud little breasts of
hers, and mile-long legs, Ryan has had to fight his attraction to her.
If her brother knew what he was thinking, he would kill Ryan, if her
daddy didn’t first. Ryan valued the surrogate family the Taylor’s
provided him with too much to ever go there with their youngest member.

His diversion techniques work like a charm, until one night he pushes
her too far, and Twyla takes off. Ryan knows he has to find her quickly
and apologize, or face his best friend’s wrath. He finds Twyla in Dallas
and decides she’s definitely gone cowgirl crazy. He barely recognizes
her, because his barrel-racing tomboy is wearing makeup that looks like
it was put on with a putty knife and she’s working at a bar which
borders on a cowgirl strip club. When she isn’t serving shots off of her
stomach, she’s shaking her round ass for any man with a dollar to shove
into the waistband of her barely-there shorts.

Twyla refuses
to leave with him, and Ryan knows he better make his final
arrangements, or come up with another way to convince her and fast.

 EXCERPT 
 
Ignoring her comment, and what had to be her
obvious discomfort, Ryan stepped forward, leaned over her to balance his shot
glass about two inches under her navel.

Heather always put it at the base of her ribcage, so a little would
spill into her navel, but Ryan had put his lower.
  Her muscles contracted there, as the cold
glass touched her skin.
  She thought
about him licking her up to the glass, the amber liquid sloshed in the glass,
and he frowned.
“No
spilling, Twy, or there will be consequences.”

His eyes met hers and his pupils were dilated almost as large as the
blue irises.
  His breathing came in short
spurts, and she could see his pulse pounding at the side of his throat.
  The look on his handsome face said, he would
relish delivering those unknown consequences.

“By the time I’m done, I’ll really need that drink.”
A shiver
worked itself up her body from her toes, and the glass wobbled again.
  She gasped and contracted her muscles to steady
it.
  Agitation bristled through her.  “Why don’t you just have the damned shot
then, and get on with this?”
  That’s what
she really wanted.
His hand
clamped on her ankle, and he grinned.

“Patience is a virtue, darlin’.
Slow is not always a bad thing, and I’m about to teach you that, and a
lot more.”
  His voice was heavy with
anticipation, and his sensual threat was punctuated by his tongue making a trip
slow around his hot lips.
  Her eyes
followed it around and heat sizzled along her nerves to singe her at the apex
of her thighs.
  Maybe this is why all
those bunnies she saw leaving his trailer were smiling.
  They must have had the patience Ryan was
talking about, and liked that Ryan was slow as a turtle in his lovemaking.
  Twyla wasn’t sold on it yet, but decided to
try to find the patience he asked her to have.

She huffed a breath then relaxed and uncurled her fists. 
What the
hell did she know about all this, anyway?

She was green as grass at this, he knew what he was doing.  Had done it many times.  Too many.
“Get on
with it, then,” she grumbled, settling her focus on keeping that shot glass
steady on her lower abdomen.
  Ryan’s dark
head appeared in her line of vision, and Twyla gasped.
 
His eyes
met hers over the plane of her tummy, and were filled with mischief and
purpose. His hot breath tickled her thighs when he warned, “Keep it still,
Twyla.
  Remember, no spilling.” 
He slid his
hands behind her calves, and under her thighs to hold her hands at her sides.
  Turning his face, he planted a wet kiss on
her inner thigh, before his mouth latched there and he sucked, while his tongue
swirled on her skin.
  Fire zipped up to
her core, and Twyla whimpered.
  The glass
wobbled again and she knew then that she was in big trouble.

I have to tell you that I love the story plot behind this book! CS delivered this story with so much real emotions that you feel like you are right there with the charters. I expect a book to bring  me in to the story as if I am standing right there in the room, CS did that with this story. If you love a book that you can’t tell what way a book will take you have found one that will do that for you. There was a few times I thought the story dragged a little but it didn’t take from the over all telling of it.  I felt that CS gave you a good look at each charter that was introduced in Scared To Death.  I can’t wait to  read more of  Ruby and Noah story along with seeing a closer look at the others that brought this story to life. 

 

Looking forward to more great reads by CS Latu.

About The Author

cs

I was born on a cold day in January. They said I was the only baby in the hospital. They also said that I picked my head up twice to turn away from people who came to see me after I was born (Who wants strangers looking at you after such a life altering event while you are naked?). Not much has changed. That cold day was 30 years ago in South Carolina. Needless to say, I got the twang! At the ripe age of 22, I married my man bear pig hubby who happens to be from Chicago. I learned that there are people who do not have accents, who sound like they have accents because they don’t have accents. Mind blowing there. Our love story is pretty nifty. I met him online when I was 15 and chatted with him for four years, on and off as friends, until we met and I showed him some southern charm and BAM! Here we are ten years later with eight years of marriage and several fur persons rounding out the family thus far! My writing started as a child when I tried to write about three pewter statues of wizards coming to life. Books and words have always been a passion for me. My mind is incredibly random, if you talk to me for more than ten minutes, it becomes painfully obvious. I draw inspiration from absolutely anything and everything I come in contact with, with particular emphasis on music, pictures and the crazy situations in life. It is my hope one day to have a small hot air balloon tied to my chimney so I can write by starlight. I am pretty sure I would find that most inspiring.

Synopsis

Stay up all night with the sexy rockers in Stage Dive, the epic rock star romance series from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott, author of Lick and Play.

As the lead singer of Stage Dive, Jimmy is used to getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants it, whether it’s booze, drugs, or women. However, when a PR disaster serves as a wake-up call about his life and lands him in rehab, he finds himself with Lena, a new assistant to keep him out of trouble.  

Lena’s not willing to take any crap from the sexy rocker and is determined to keep their relationship completely professional, despite their sizzling chemistry. But when Jimmy pushes her too far and Lena leaves, he realizes that he may just have lost the best thing that ever happened to him.

Excerpt

“Lena, you seen my old black Led Zep shirt?”

“Nope.”

“You sure?” His brows became one dark cranky line. The scratches on his face were healing well, thank goodness. Though it didn’t reduce my desire to throttle his mother on a daily basis.

“Yes. I haven’t seen it.”

Can’t find it anywhere…”

“And this is a surprise, how?” I slipped my hands into my back jean’s pockets. “Jimmy, you own more clothing than Cher, Brittney, and Elvis, put together. Things are bound to go missing.”

“Sure you haven’t seen it?”

“For goodness sake, what do you think, Jimmy? That I stole it to sleep in or something?” I laughed bitterly. Sure as hell, the truth deserved a good mocking. I’d sunk so despicably low.

I hadn’t even meant to steal the stupid thing, but the shirt had been mixed up with my laundry a few days ago. It’d been the first top I laid my hand on after stepping out of the shower, ready to go to bed. Without thought, I’d put it on and it’d been so soft, the scent of him lingering beneath the laundry detergent. Every night since, I’d found myself in it come bedtime. My shame knew no limits. And no, I still hadn’t quit. The words still hadn’t come even close to leaving my mouth.

He frowned. “No.”

“That I have some deep secret longing to feel close to you resulting in my stealing your shirt like some creepy perv?”

“Course I don’t fucking think that,” he replied crankily, reaching up to grip the top of the doorframe. All of his bulging muscles stretched the arms of his white T-shirt in the nicest way. It was all I could do not to start drooling, my heart beat taking up residence somewhere down between my thighs. And who could blame it? Not me. Maybe if I got laid, this would go away and things would return to normal. It’d seemed safer to avoid rubbing up against any men just in case I got carried away and started dating again. This new situation, however, changed everything.

“Well, of course not! That would be crazy.” And wasn’t that the god’s honest truth? Cray-zeee. Lock me up and throw away the key because it wasn’t like I didn’t know better.

“Just can’t figure out where the hell it could be.”

Angels couldn’t have smiled as innocently. They might have tried, but they would have failed, the dirty-mouthed, winged, little liars. “Jimmy, I don’t know where it is. But I’ll look around for it later, okay?”

“Yeah,” he said, and then added as an afterthought, “and stop looking at me weird.”

“I’m not!”

There isn’t a glass slipper or Prince Charming.
I’ve lived it and now it will be told.
Welcome to my personal hell…

Derrick
I once saved lives and now… I so easily end them.

Synopsis

Fast. That’s how I like life, especially my two great joys: bikes and women. I’m committed to exclusively riding one, but not the other.

Until April.

A sexy-arse freelance photographer who’s travelled the world, and doesn’t do long walks on the beach or romantic candlelit dinners. She enjoys running with the bulls and food spicy enough to make your hair fall out. If that weren’t enough to get me hard, she rides a mean mother of a motorcycle.

I’ve gotta have a taste of this wildcat.

~Spencer (Jones)

I don’t do fast. Not anymore. I’ve got my career, my independence, and since I fled Spain to come back home I promised myself that I wouldn’t be put second—or third, for that matter—again.

Then I meet pretty boy Spencer.

He’s smooth, oozing the most potent pheromones probably known to modern science, and he’s making a move on me. One kiss was almost enough for my promise to dissolve.

My head says no—my treacherous body screams yes. I’m gonna make Spencer work for it. Make him fight for the chance to have me, because I know that deep down I’m worth it.

~April MacIntyre

*The book can be read as a stand-alone, but it is best to read after the first two in the series, as the main characters in Spark and Spike continue to appear in each book in the series.*

EXCERPT
He inches his face towards mine, and I too edge forward, so not in control of my actions right now, because kissing him is the only thing I can think of. But then I remember he’s drunk, and this kiss will be meaningless in the morning.

Pulling back and shaking my head, in hopes of knocking some sense into my lust-filled brain, I whisper, “You’re drunk, Jasper.”

Jasper smiles, but it’s a sad smile.

His eyes focus on mine as he confesses, “I’m drunk on you. You’re my poison, Ava, and I don’t know how to stop consuming you.”

A breath catches in my throat as words that should be interpreted harshly, aren’t at all perceived that way. I don’t know how to reply, so I don’t. I close my eyes and take five steadying breaths.

One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.

Reopening my eyes, I see that I’m alone.

Peering up at Jasper’s house, I witness him turning back towards my car from his front door. The porch light reflects off his beautiful face, and his expression is mirroring mine. And that expression is one I have been trying so hard to keep at bay, but sadly have been failing at.

That expression is one of submission and surrender.

We both surrender.

And that fact scares the living shit out of me.

Under the pseudonym of Paige Cassidy, Mia is ready to live the life she’s never had, and she’s determined not to allow her tainted past dictate her promising future.

Paige is on a Greyhound bus heading from L.A. to South Boston, Virginia, to start a new life. A life that includes finding her mother, who abandoned her at age three. But what she finds, is four people, who will change her life forever.

Yet no one can outrun their past…

Especially one filled with bitter memories, which refuse to remain hidden.

Synopsis

I’m Kaitlyn.

In my life, rarely are there dull moments. I seem to land myself in these…situations a lot. I am 25, and in college (yes, still!). I have just met the most gorgeous guy, Cole, in my math class. The only problem is that he is a little guarded. Just when I start to make progress with him, my crazy elderly neighbor Marge disappears after visiting some questionable dating sites. Who the hell has even heard of bootycall.com?!

Anyway, since my best friend and roommate Hailey and I have kind of adopted Marge, we join forces with her grandson Matt to help find her. Cole even decides to join in the hunt! Along the way, we cross paths with Ben – a creeper who might also be really dangerous.

Will I be able to keep us safe and out of trouble, find Marge, and land the guy? Or will my Twisted Luck screw everything up?

Twisted Luck teaser #1

Teaser

Who runs over a bird? They have wings! They fly! Why didn’t you fly, you stupid bird! Maybe he couldn’t fly. No, that’s not right, he was flying just seconds before his untimely death. I don’t know what to make of this, but Hailey still has wide eyes, and she hasn’t spoken.

“Hails? You okay? That wasn’t your fault, you know. That was just…just crazy weird. I don’t know what it was, but it definitely was not your fault. You’re okay, right?”

It’s quiet for a couple minutes and then she says quietly, “I have a dark aura.”

I am a mother, a wife, a substitute teacher and now a writer! I love to read and write. I discovered the world of indie books about a year and a half ago. Since then I have read over 200 books. I got in to following book blogs for recommendations and found Love Between The Sheets. They were looking for reviewers so I applied and I’ve been writing for those wonderful ladies since. I started my own book, Twisted Luck, somewhere along the way and I’m so excited to publish it later this year!!
