  Listen to Me - cover


Pre-Order Your Copy Today!

Amazon ** Barnes & Noble ** iTunes ** Kobo



In New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby’s brand new series, five best friends open a hot new restaurant, but one of them gets much more than she bargained for when a sexy former rock star walks through the doors—and into her heart.

Seduction is quickly becoming the hottest new restaurant in Portland, and Addison Wade is proud to claim 1/5 of the credit. She’s determined to make it a success and can’t think of a better way to bring in new customers than live music. But when former rock star Jake Keller swaggers through the doors to apply for the weekend gig, she knows she’s in trouble. Addie instantly recognizes him—his posters were plastered all over her bedroom walls in high school—he’s all bad boy...exactly her type and exactly what she doesn’t need.

Jake Keller walked away from the limelight five years ago and yearns to return to what’s always driven him: the music. If he gets to work for a smart-mouthed, funny-as-hell bombshell, all the better. But talking Addie into giving him the job is far easier than persuading her that he wants more than a romp in her bed. Just when she begins to drop her walls, Jake’s past finally catches up with him.

Will Addie be torn apart once again or will Jake be able to convince her to drown out her doubts and listen to her heart?

BLOG TOUR REVIEW & EXCERPT - Bennett by Brenda Rothert

Bennett
(On the Line, #2)

Brenda Rothert

Publication Date: March 15, 2016
Genre: Sports, Romance, Contemporary



Pre-order now: 
Bennett Morse devotes his time to chasing two things: an NHL career and women. He’s the easygoing member of his three-man line on the Fenway Flyers, content to play the game he loves and soak up the female attention it brings – as long as it’s from a different woman each time. He learned the hard way that choosing only one leads to heartache.

Newly single attorney Charlotte Holloway finds just what she needs in Bennett – a sweet, sexy man to ease the burn of her recent breakup. One night is all she wants from the left winger who seems to have all the right moves. Soon circumstance draws her back to Bennett, and the sparks between them become a fiery blaze. But with the stakes high, will they risk it all and put their hearts on the line?

Read chapter one of Bennett here: 

Sports romances are one of my absolute favorite books to read...especially hockey. There is  just something about hockey players that draws me to them. Maybe it's the way they're built or how an author describes them in action, on the ice. I just love it all! If hockey is your jam as well...you should go ahead and add the On The Line series to your to-reads list. 

Bennett Morse is on top of his game as a left winger in the minor hockey league. Hoping to pursue his dream in playing in the big leagues, he'll just need to stay on track. As he celebrates another win at a local bar with one of his teammates, he doesn't know how one woman can change his life unexpectedly. 

Charlotte Holloway is an assistant state's attorney, working her way up to be a prosecutor in juvenile cases. As a position opened up in the firm, she had a good feeling about it. But, the carpet just swept up from under her when she discovered her boyfriend secretly applied for the same position and took it away from her. So the crappy day lead her to a bar, where she'll meet a guy who will change her life unexpectedly. 

Thoughts:

PLOT LINE - This story is just as cute as it is sexy. One night stands are suppose to be simple, right? Afterwards, you both can just leave without any contact or any form of a relationship. But if that one night was truly amazing, it maybe hard to forget. That one night can possibly change their lives. When life throws them together once more, maybe it's trying to tell them something. Maybe they should give it a shot. 

CHEMISTRY - Bennett and Charlotte make an amazing pair. Not only is the attraction there, their new dilemma molds their friendship and helps turn it into something more. Charlotte is type who doesn't need a man to get things done but once she realizes that she may need Bennett more than she thinks, life can be so much easier. Even when she tries to stay away, there is just something magnetic about Bennett. And, it's not only for those sexy times either ;) 

BENNETT - He is hands down my favorite character in this book. Not only is he a gentleman but he can be rough, protecting those who are close to him. When you get some news that you'd never thought you'd here, you expect a guy to react a certain way. But with Bennett...he is kinda perfect. Where did this guy come from? He says the right words and does the right things. He is pretty much any girl's dream guy if you want a guy who is considerate, well-mannered, handsome, and always puts everyone else's needs before his. 

Overall, it was a fun and sexy quick read that will leave you wanting more.

COVER REVEAL, EXCERPT & GIVEAWAY - Dodging Trains by Sunniva Dee

Dodging Trains

Sunniva Dee

Publication date: March 29th 2016
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance


I was twelve when a stranger at a train station taught me the meaning of ugly. He forced himself on me and threatened to kill my family if I told.

I stayed silent and the ugliness grew.

Now, that word rolls in film clips through my mind. All I’ve done since my best friend, Keyon Arias, left town is cement how ugly I am. Ugly on the inside—deep down to my core. On the outside… I am a Vixen. I flash men a smile and make them moan out pleasure I control.

Not them. Never them.

After five years of being away, my beautiful boy has come back to town for his father’s masquerade ball. He’s different. Hard muscle supersedes the skin and bone of his once boyish frame. One thing hasn’t changed though: the murderous look in his eyes when he slaughters his opponents. In the ring, I see the bullied boy, all grown up, dominating in ways he couldn’t in high school.

He’s the mayor’s son. The rising MMA fighter. The beautiful one.

I’m not the Paislee Cain of before, not the sweet girl he once knew, the one who chased away his bullies. I’m the town slut. The dirty girl whose shame will never fade no matter how many men I use. He’d disown what I’ve become.

Because beautiful can never love ugly.

Dodging Trains Full

EXCERPT

PAISLEE

The most vibrant moments of my life flicker through my brain like film clips. If I concentrate long enough, they suck in sound until they become so real they mix in the scents from my memories too. Already, I realize today will morph into a clip that’ll join the rest of them—the short version of today, what I’m watching right now.

In this moment, he doesn’t star in a snippet at the back of my brain. He’s almost tangible, himself in ways I haven’t seen him in years.

Heat glistened off him when he strutted into the cage, arms high in preempted victory and with a cocky smile on his mouth. But now, minutes into the match, he’s not smiling anymore, no, because Keyon is fighting hard.

He always did that. Fought hard, I mean. And I wasn’t afraid for him back when I knew him either. Who can be afraid for someone who looks murderous?
I don’t mind his back toward the camera while he delivers the last decisive blow to his opponent; I enjoy the sight of skin and muscles under glaring spotlights and sweat that flies off hair and lashes when he turns.

The local TV station replays Keyon’s knockout in slow motion, while I consider what’s most real; replays like these on a TV screen versus what’s in my brain—those special clips from years ago. I let the thought go and ponder instead how Keyon and what’s-his-name survive the punishment they give each other.

I’ve kept close track of Keyon in the news. This is the first televised event he’s been a part of, so until now I’ve found him on the Internet and in our flimsy newspaper, the Rigita Gazette.

From the first glimpse of his face on TV, I saw the same impatience as before. Wildfire still burns in his eyes, and dedication radiates off him like red-hot quicksilver. In my imagination, Keyon is rattling the starting gates, dying to be freed into a world where he can rule, destroy, feast on his power without inhibitions.

Sunniva Dee
Between studies, teaching, and advising, Sunniva has spent her entire adult life in a college environment. Most of her novels are new adult romance geared toward smart, passionate readers with a love for eclectic language and engaging their brain as well as their heart while reading.

Born in the Land of the Midnight Sun, the author spent her early twenties making the world her playground. Southern Europe: Spain, Italy, Greece--Argentina: Buenos Aires, in particular. The United States finally kept her interest, and after half a decade in Los Angeles, she now lounges in the beautiful city of Savannah.

Sometimes, Sunniva writes with a paranormal twist (Shattering Halos, Stargazer, and Cat Love). At other times, it's contemporary (Pandora Wild Child, Leon's Way, Adrenaline Crush, Walking Heartbreak, and Dodging Trains, coming in late March 2016).

This author is the happiest when her characters let their emotions run off with them, shaping her stories in ways she never foresaw. She loves bad-boys and good-boys run amok, and like in real life, her goal is to keep the reader on her toes until the end of each story.

JeanNicole Rivers
I was born in the tiny, but lovable town of Centralia, IL which has a two screen movie theatre, one high school and still celebrates May Fete, so I had no choice, but to develop a fantastic imagination. Since childhood I have been writing everything from short stories to songs, but I have always aspired to compose a novel. Black Water Tales: The Secret Keepers is my first novel and the first book in what will be a series of thriller novels.

Philosophy was my study in college and I received a Bachelor of Arts in the subject from Florida International University. Writing is one of my most favored artistic pursuits, but my love for the arts does not stop there, I am also a vocalist and actress and participate in local theater in Houston Texas.
