Release Pricing: Carolina Days Complete Series just 99 cents!!!!!

Carolina Days Series by Carey Heywood- all 3 Kindle books just 99 cents!

I have been a big fan of Carey Heywood's for a while now. I listed Him on my Top Book Favorites list last year and I absolutely love the Carolina Days series so I am so excited to spread the word that all three books are available for just 99 cents! This is a steal and I'm not sure how long this price will be around, so I'd hurry if I were you!

Book descriptions from Amazon:

~ The Other Side of Someday ~ 

Falling in love? Courtney Grayson has been there, done that. 
Men, who needs them? Love wasn’t everything she thought it would be. This time around, she’s doing things differently. She hasn’t sworn off men for good; she just isn’t interested in settling. Trusting someone with her heart again? Someday, but not today. 
Falling in love? Sorry, Clay Bradshaw is not the guy for you. 
He’s never been in love and he doesn’t see it happening. Hooking up can be fun, but more often than not, women are a distraction he doesn’t need. He’s a busy man, and doesn’t have time to date, let alone fall in love. Will someone ever change that? There’s always a chance, someday. 
Life doesn’t always go as planned, and love may find them both on the other side of someday.

~ Yesterday's Half Truths ~ 

She never thought it would go this far. 
It started out so innocently, but now has taken on a life of its own. Problem is, Lindsay Palmer doesn't know how to stop. Even worse, she doesn't want to stop. Her daily deceit has become both her greatest pleasure and deepest shame. Thousands of people love her, but would they if they knew the truth. 
A simple favor for his baby sister brings Lindsay into Luke Jamieson's life. There's something about this girl that keeps her on his mind hours and days after each time they meet. Now here he is, falling in love with a liar. All he wants is for her to let him in, and maybe together he can lead her out of the cage of her own construction. 
Will the truth set her free, or have her lies already destroyed everything? 

~ Chasing Daylight ~ 

Mitch Brooks exists day to day by keeping the world around him at arm’s length. There is no going back to the man he once was. That man is broken in a way there’s no fixing. Any hope beyond that is nothing but wishful thinking, until he meets her. 
McKenzie Williams needed an escape. The last thing she needed was a scary beautiful man beating down her door in the middle of the night. Now, if only their paths would stop crossing, she can convince herself she doesn’t feel a connection to him. Life has shown her the dreams she once held dear will never come true for her. 
Mitch struggles to get past the walls he’s built around himself, while McKenzie works to build hers brick by brick. When the outside world exposes the vulnerabilities in his façade, she abandons her own fears to stand by him. Will she be the one to save him from the darkness within him? Or will he forever be chasing daylight?

Recommendation: Sidebarred

Sidebarred by Emma Chase

From Amazon.com: 

Join Jake & Chelsea, Stanton & Sofia, Brent & Kennedy as they navigate the hilarious and heartwarming hurdles of love, life and the law in this final addition to the Legal Briefs Series.

There was a time when Jake Becker had it all together. He was controlled, driven, ruthless—in and out of the courtroom.
Then, six irresistible orphans and their heartbreakingly beautiful aunt crashed into his perfectly ordered life. They changed everything. They changed him. Now he’s a husband, an upstanding member of society, a father figure—a family man.
And he’s pretty damn good at it.
Sure, he has to referee sibling smackdowns, re-learn algebra, ensure his clients stay of jail, and keep his wife happy—but it finally feels like he’s got it together again....
So, of course something has to screw it all up. It’s huge. Life-changing. Kind of terrifying.
And it will be the most amazing, perfect thing he’ll ever do.


Sigh. Jake Becker..... Although I was super sad to see the end of the Legal Briefs series, I was so glad the final addition was centered on Jake, my most favorite of the swoon-worthy attorneys. The audiobook is narrated by the God of men's voices, Sebastian York, and goodness, his voice is nothing short of AMAZING. This is a short novella at just 132 pages, and the audiobook is about 2 1/2 hours. It's such a great wrap up, and even features an epilogue taking place 17 years later. If you're read the first three books in the series, this is a must!

Recommendation: Kindred Spirits by Rainbow Rowell

Kindred Spirits by Rainbow Rowell

Rainbow Rowell is an instant one-click author for me, so when I saw she had released a short story in the UK for World Book Day, I knew I needed to find a copy. I found mine on ebay, but there are some copies available on Amazon for around $6.

Kindred Spirits is the story of Elena, who is quite the Star Wars fangirl. She has BIG plans to join what she imagines to be a HUGE line for the movie 4 days before the release, and is surprised to find only 2 others with the same dedication as hers.

Note that the actual story is just 62 pages, but of course Rowell packs so much in there! With her trademark quirky characters and witty dialog, it's just plain charming and absolutely worth a read!

Book Recommendation: Center Ring by Nicole Waggoner

Center Ring by Nicole Waggoner

Blurb from Amazon.com:
Norah Merrit, a dedicated obstetrician known for her bedside manner and service to Doctors Without Borders, walks into girls’ night out with a confession to make―and what she has to say shakes the group to its core. In the aftermath of Norah’s revelation, each of the women she calls her sister-friends―photojournalist Camille, stay-at-home mom Leila, publicist Ellison, and designer Kate―are left questioning the roads they haven’t taken, and revisiting the vastly different choices they’ve made in life and love. 

Told in alternating points of view between the five friends, Center Ring is a story about modern women finding balance through action, relationships, and growth in the midst of challenges and change.




Local friend Nicole Waggoner recently released her first novel, and I cannot say enough good things about it! I absolutely flew through it, devouring the stories of the five friends. While I was reading, I was thinking of the women in my life and which character they reminded me of. I think we can all find someone to relate to in this book. This is the first book in a trilogy, and I cannot wait for the others to be released- Nicole's books will be an instant one-click for me!

Monday is Release Day for Smut by Karina Halle

Monday, May 16 is release day for Karina Halle's Smut! I am looking forward to reading this!

  Smut AMAZON - Copy

What happens when the kink between the pages leads to heat between the sheets?

All Blake Crawford wants is to pass his creative writing course, get his university degree and take over his dad’s ailing family business. What Amanda Newland wants is to graduate at the top of her class, as well as finally finish her novel and prove to her family that writing is a respectful career.

What Blake and Amanda don’t want is to be paired up with each other for their final project but that’s exactly what they both get when they’re forced to collaborate on a writing piece. Since Amanda thinks Blake is a pushy asshole (with a panty-melting smirk and British accent) and Blake thinks Amanda has a stick up her ass (though it’s brilliant ass), they fight tooth and nail until they discover they write well together. They also might find each other really attractive, but that’s neither here nor there.

When their writing project turns out to be a success, the two of them decide to start up a secret partnership together using a pen name, infiltrating the self-publishing market in the lucrative genre of erotica. Naturally, with so much heat and passion between the pages, it’s not long before their dirty words become a dirty reality. Sure, they still fight a lot but at least there’s make-up sex now.

But even as they start to fall hard for each other, will their burgeoning relationship survive if their scandalous secret is exposed or are happily-ever-afters just a work of fiction?
