New Release, Review and Giveaway - Fame by Molly McAdams

Fame is the final, breathtaking stand-alone in the Secrets in L.A. Series by Molly McAdams.

I guess it’s naïve to say I thought I would be an actress.

But isn’t that why everyone comes to Los Angeles?

Fame?

Then again, I’m from here.

And after years of paying my dues, all that fame and fortune was shoved at me with the promise of care for my family.

 

I’d grabbed for it without truly seeing what I was reaching for. Now I’m trapped in a role that owns my body and slowly steals pieces of my soul.

I wanted to be on camera . . . I never wanted this.

 

But when an intriguing stranger steps into my life, everything changes.

 

For the first time in so long, I feel alive—cherished and adored.

But as our stolen glances and secret smiles turn into shared nights and hidden passion, I know it’s only a matter of time before we fall apart.

Because he has no idea what I do for a living, and he works with my boss . . .

 

Now all my secrets are threatening to expose my deepest shame and ruin so much more than the façade I’ve fought to maintain.

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur baby. When she's not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach . . . which roughly translates to being a homebody and dishing out movie quotes with her hubby. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and loves curling up in a fluffy blanket during a thunderstorm . . . or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren't really happening.

Release Blitz & Review - Take Me There by M.C. Decker

New release from M.C. Decker!!

Ashlynn

I’d spent the last decade counseling couples –helping them achieve their most intimate desires. How could I so easily help them when I didn’t know how to help myself?

Honestly, I was a fraud. A fake. A phony. Let’s call it what it was –I was a thirty-five-year-old woman who’d never experienced the Big O. Don’t kid yourself, I’m not innocent. I’m definitely not a virgin. It’s just, no guy has ever taken me there –you know the place, where your toes curl and the universe explodes around you.

I’d pretty much given up hope, until he barreled into my life –turning my entire world upside down.

Carson

I’m Doctor Carson Foster, renowned sex therapist. I’d made a career out of bringing women to orgasm. Always holding to high professional standards, I was careful to do things completely by the book. I’d never considered breaking my personal code of ethics with any of my patients –that is, until I met her. And to complicate things, Ashlynn Sommers was my colleague, but I wouldn’t let that stop me. When I learned of her “little problem” in the bedroom, I was determined to be the one to take her there.

Take Me There is a sweet, emotional read and M.C. Decker has a way with words. I was quickly invested in Ashlynn and Carson's story and I was reluctant to put aside for any reason. I definitely recommend this book as one to read!

His green eyes glimmered with promise as his gaze held hers.

What was it about this man that drew her so? Had the attraction between them always been this intense?

Chuck dipped the spoon back into the ice cream. "This is like when we were dating."

She watched him taste from the silverware he'd just fed her with, unable to take her eyes off him. "I wish I remembered."

"You will," he said confidently.

"And if I don't?"

"Let's work on new memories now." Chuck angled closer, whispering in her ear. "I have an inside track here, knowing what you like."

He pressed his mouth against her neck, just over her leaping pulse. The heat of his breath fanned an answering warmth in her. She lost herself in the sensations he stirred. His mouth grazed up farther to nip her earlobe. He kissed her ear, taking his time. 

Finally, his lips moved to hers...

Start the Alaskan Oil Barons series with the first two books!

Review & Giveaway - Twisted by Mandi Beck

Title: Twisted

Author: Mandi Beck

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: October 19, 2018

Three friends walk into a bar . . . One walks out the fake girlfriend of a hot, bearded Scotsman. 

Fannin McGuire is up for promotion at Nolan and Krane Enterprises, but first she has to make it through her stepsister’s wedding. To Fannin’s ex. Yep. Her ex-fiancé is about to be her new brother-in-law. One big happy family. And lucky her, she also gets to work with him. 

While Fannin is putting all of her energy into her career, her ex is putting all of his energy into making her life hell. Just when Fannin is sure she’ll be attending the wedding without a plus one, in walks Jasper James to save the day. He’s the bartender at the Iron Flask, the account she’s trying to land, and everything she didn’t know she needed or wanted. 

Before Fannin knows what’s happening, Jasper is playing knight in shining armor and she likes it. And him. A lot. With his smooth Scottish accent, ridiculously good looks, and that beard? She doesn’t stand a chance. 

Jasper isn’t in the habit of rescuing anyone. But when Fannin is confronted by her ex about her lack of a date for his upcoming nuptials, Jasper can’t help but step in. Her wild hair, violet eyes, and killer legs have him doing a few things he normally wouldn’t. Never mind that he shouldn’t be getting involved with the woman in charge of making the bar a global success. 

Their fake relationship becomes more real than either thought it would. Now they’re at the mercy of their feelings when truths are twisted, and the lies don’t taste as smooth as the whisky.

Amazon

Previously released as a part of Kindle Worlds, Twisted by Mandi Beck has been given an update and additional bonus content. Even if you've read it before, I would definitely give it another read. Fannin and Jasper held me captive just as much as the first time I read it. I mean, who doesn't love a hot Scottish guy and a fiesty heroine. Toss in a condescending ex and a narcissistic stepsister determined to cause trouble and you've got a fabulous story that will leave you wanting more.

Mandi Beck has been an avid reader all of her life. A deep love for books always had her jotting down little stories on napkins, notebooks, and her hand. As an adult she was further submerged into the book world through book clubs and the epicness of social media. It was then that she graduated to writing her stories on her phone and then finally on a proper computer.

A wife, mother to two rambunctious and somewhat rotten boys, and stepmom to two great girls away at college, she shares her time with her husband in Chicago where she was born and raised. Mandi is a diehard hockey fan and blames the Blackhawks when her deadlines are not met even though her favorite hockey player calls her…mom.
