RELEASE BLITZ: Heartless by Michelle Horst

Amazon

I’m warned that Carter Hayes is heartless.

He’s part of the screw crew.
He’ll just use you and leave you.
He’s ruthless and always gets what he wants.

Just look for the trail of broken hearts and dreamy sighs and you’ll find him.

“Hot as sin, Carter.”

I don’t have time to fall head over heels for any guy. Besides, he’d never notice someone like me. I have a three step plan. Get through college. Get a job. Get my sister out of the hell hole I left her in. That’s all I have time for.

That’s until I hear of the betting pool the guys started. Whoever screws me first gets the money.  The moment Carter looks at me, I know it’s only because of the bet.

I tell myself our first kiss is only for show.
I hate my heart for falling for his irresistible charm.

For one foolish moment, I actually want him to be my first earth-shattering love. All it takes for me to give in is a little attention, a cocky smile, and a fake promise of a happily-ever-after.

When I’m surrounded by crumpled sheets and the smell of sex, I realize I let him have me for four hundred dollars.

To save what little pride I have left, I pretend it didn’t mean anything, that he’s just one last screw before we all leave college.

I’ve spent the last four years lying to myself. When I’m ready to take the final step of my plan, and save my sister, guess who walks through my front door?

PROMO BLITZ & EXCERPT: A Veil Of Vines by Tillie Cole

A Veil of Vines is moving to Kindle Unlimited!

Amazon

FREE on KU

To most people, princes, princesses, counts and dukes are found only in the pages of the most famous of fairytales. Crowns, priceless jewels and gilded thrones belong only in childhood dreams.
But for some, these frivolous fancies are truth.
For some, they are real life.
On Manhattan’s Upper East Side, people have always treated me as someone special. All because of my ancestral name and legacy. All because of a connection I share to our home country’s most important family of all.
I am Caresa Acardi, the Duchessa di Parma. A blue blood of Italy. I was born to marry well. And now the marriage date is set.
I am to marry into House Savona. The family that would have been the royals had Italy not abolished the monarchy in 1946. But to the aristocrats of my home, the abolition means nothing at all.
The Savonas still hold power where it counts most.
In our tight-knit world of money, status and masked balls, they are everything and more.
And I am soon to become one of them.
I am soon to become Prince Zeno Savona’s wife…
… or at least I was, until I met Achille.
And everything changed.

I opened the window beside me and stared at the illuminated entrance. I swallowed hard and placed my empty glass on the bar. Metal groaned, breaking through the twilight, as the massive black wrought-iron gates began to open. The limo slowly pulled onto the property’s lane, and I drank in the thick forest that shielded the estate. I inhaled the freshness of the lush green trees. The unpolluted sky was thick with stars—not a single cloud in sight.

A few minutes later, the thick woods cleared, and I gasped. Acres and acres of gold and green vineyards covered the landscape. The scents of plump grapes and damp soil permeated the warm air. I closed my eyes. It reminded me of being a child. It brought me back to the days before I was taken to New York. I could still feel the heat of the Emilia-Romagna sun on my face, the deep smell of olives, grapes and flowers drifting in the breeze as I ran around our Parma estate.

I smiled a nostalgic smile and allowed my eyes to drift open again. I rested my arms on the window and leaned my chin on them as the limo drove on. There were several small villas peppered over the landscape, their lights twinkling in the distance. They must have been the winemakers’ residences. It was not only the Bella Collina merlot that was made on this land; other reds were too—particularly the Chianti from the region’s finest Sangiovese grapes. The Bella Collina olive oil was also up there with the best. But nothing compared to the famed merlot.

The limo turned right, and my breath caught in my throat. I lifted my head and stared disbelievingly at the property ahead. Bella Collina was a veritable Palace of Versailles tucked away in the Umbrian wilderness.

“Mio Dio,” I whispered as I took in the imposing stone structure, the sweeping steps and the vast number of windows set in the building’s walls. Large pillars of red-veined marble flanked the entrance. Cypress trees framed the estate as if it were the shining star of a fine Renaissance painting. Sculptures of famed Savona monarchs of old stood proudly on the manicured lawns, and strategically placed lighting illuminated the sheer perfection of every piece of topiary.

As a child, I had been to the Palazzo Savona in Florence. It was widely regarded to be one of the finest estates in all of Italy, if not western Europe. But this . . . this . . . there were no words. It was perfectly placed, as if it had always been there. As if it had grown naturally from the Umbrian earth just as sure as the vines and woods that kept this architectural treasure hidden from view.

BLOG TOUR, REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Toxic by Nicole Blanchard

Toxic

by Nicole Blanchard 

Publication Date: August 22, 2017 

Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Dark Romance

Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | iBooks | Google Play

“John Doe” was just another patient. A criminal. 

As a prison nurse, I knew the rules: do my job, don’t get involved, and never let a prisoner get under my skin. 

I broke all three. 

 My passion, my obsession, my addiction. I risked my entire life so we could be together. 

I thought helping him escape from prison would be the hard part. 

It turns out when you fall in love with a villain, you also turn into one.

Caroline's Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the first time I’ve read this author and, WOW! 

We understand from the first few pages that the female protagonist, Tessa Emerson, is deeply unhappy and trapped in an abusive marriage. It turns out that she’s a nurse at the local prison and that her husband is the warden there. She’s surviving day to day, scared to fight back as she has no one else in her life. 

“It turns out when your life falls to pieces right before your eyes, it isn’t with a bang…it’s with a whisper.”

One fateful day, a new prisoner arrives. His scrutiny is intense and he makes her feel things that she’s never felt before. She knows it’s wrong and forbidden to be anything other than professional with him, but he draws her in. Her attraction to him sparks life back into her existence.

When things spiral out of control and she’s forced to commit a felony, she finds herself on the run from the law, and from the enigmatic prisoner called Gracin Kingsley.

This book was raw, brutal and carnal, with glimmers of tenderness. It was difficult to read in places due to the nature of the story, but it was riveting and I had no idea where the plot was going. Not for the faint-hearted!

”He’s a craving I can’t quite shake. A disease slowly spreading through me. My head tells me I should walk away, but my greedy heart begs for more of his illicit attention.”

Tessa has had no real happiness in her life and but Gracin is electrifying and persistent, and makes her feel desirable and cared for. She might seem broken but she’s got a backbone of steel. Gracin is a big mystery and I loved the surprise of him and who he really was in the outside world.

They are two disconnected people with a connection that is undeniable, compelling, and ultimately soul-rewarding. Fab read!
