Cover Reveal - Predestined Hearts by Kelly Elliott and Kristin Mayer


Look at the great cover for Kelly Elliott & Kristin Mayer's upcoming dual genre novel, Predestined Hearts! Predestined Hearts will be released April 6th, 2015.




Love has existed since the beginning of time. For Ashlin Thomas, love was an illusion that she desperately wanted to make a reality.

Returning home to Savannah, after her aunt’s death, Ashlin must deal with the harsh realities life has dealt her.

As Ashlin begins sorting through her aunt’s personal effects, she stumbles upon a journal. Not just any journal, but the words of her great great great grandmother, Sophia.

Two love stories intertwine with each other as Ashlin reads the beautiful words, written over a hundred years ago.

The intense connection Ashlin feels with Sophia begins to allow her to find herself. Never thinking love was possible for her, Ashlin now sees it is within her grasp.

But, life is never perfect. Life is never fair.

When faced with the decision that could change Ashlin’s future … will she sacrifice one love for another, or will her predestined heart lead her home?









Kelly Elliott is married to a wonderful Texas cowboy who has a knack for making her laugh almost daily and supports her crazy ideas and dreams for some unknown reason...he claims it's because he loves her!

She’s also a mom to an amazing daughter who is constantly asking for something to eat while her fingers move like mad on her cell phone sending out what is sure to be another very important text message.

In her spare time she loves to sit in her small corner overlooking the Texas hill country and write.

One of her favorite things to do is go for hikes around her property with Gus....her chocolate lab and the other man in her life, and Rose, her golden retriever. When Kelly is not outside helping the hubby haul brush, move rocks or whatever fun chore he has in store for her that day, you’ll find her inside reading, writing or watching HGTV.




Kristin Mayer is a wife, a proud mother, and a full-time Analyst and Import Manager. Since an early age, she has always enjoyed reading and writing. While visiting her father one weekend, he suggested that she should take up writing again. With family and a career, she didn’t give it a lot of thought, until a story entered her mind and wouldn’t leave. It just kept forming and developing over a couple of months.

At the beginning of 2013, she decided to sit down and write it all down, but she kept it to herself. One sentence developed into two, and before she knew it, she had the makings of a novel.

Kristin tries to live life to the fullest during every moment. She loves to travel and meet new people. She holds a degree in International Business and uses it daily in her job. Kristin now adds “author” on her list of jobs, and feels very blessed and thankful.

Release Launch & Giveaway - Ripple Effect by Kristin Mayer


Happy Release Day to Kristin Mayer! Her latest release, Ripple Effect is live! 



Every event in our life causes a ripple effect that we never truly understand until the waters calm and everything reveals itself. It’s in that moment we truly see…

Adam Ryker, owner of Club Envy, has his rules. Relationships stay within the walls of the club. Outside of that, people are merely acquaintances. After having his heart broken, he’s not interested in the happily ever afters and white picket fences. Adam’s interests lie in his club and giving pleasure to women.

Ainsley Pearson wants to be free. She needs an escape from her life. Her best friend suggests Club Envy. From the moment Ainsley sets foot in the club, Adam decides he wants to be the exclusive one to bring her pleasure.

He wants her.

He needs her.

He has to have her.

Adam finds himself wanting more.

Will this unforeseen ripple in Adam’s and Ainsley’s lives be too much to overcome? Or will the one thing they never thought they deserved have an everlasting effect?



His brown eyes were warm, and his dark hair was short but done in a messy way. I had never been with a bad boy. Normally, I always went for the safe guy. However, my last safe guy had turned out to be a power-seeking asshole.

From the moment I had seen Adam at the bar, a primal instinct in me had called out, I want to have sex with him.

Adam stood. He was in a tight-fitting T-shirt and jeans. The moment I’d said yes, something had changed in his eyes. The atmosphere had charged with a sexual energy. My insides wanted to combust, but I remained calm and collected on the outside. He walked over to me like a predator after his prey, and I stood firm. He wasn’t going to feel like he had the upper hand on me. He stopped within inches of me. I slowly looked up and cocked one eyebrow.

“You have no idea how much we are going to enjoy each other, Ainsley. I’m going to make you feel pleasure beyond your wildest dreams. I’m going to touch your body like it deserves.” As he spoke, his breath invaded my senses.

I took a shallow breath, hoping he didn’t see how his words affected me. “I’ve never done anything like this. I don’t know what the next step is.”

“Let your body be your guide.”

Blog Tour, Review & Giveaway - Promise Me by Kristin Mayer


 
 
 
 
 
With her best friend happily married and now pregnant, Sam Matthews should be overjoyed. Instead, she can only see what is missing in her life. Pushing her emotions aside, she retreats to a piece of her past that she’s kept hidden, something that even her best friend knows nothing about.

Taking a step into her future, Sam moves to North Carolina where she once again encounters Mark Robertson. He is persistent and hard to resist, and little by little, he uses his charms to break through Sam’s walls.

As Sam starts to open her heart to Mark, she convinces herself that the past should stay in the past. But when her past creeps into the present, her secrets could cost her every hope and happiness in her future.
 
 
Promise Me is the third book in the Trust Series.

I received a couple of catcalls as my body moved to the music. I knew the best thing was to always ignore them as I let the music take me over. My hips swayed, and my hands went up in the air. The third song started playing, and a light gleam of sweat coated my skin. Some unwanted bodies had tried to get close to me, but I knew how to keep my distance from strangers without losing my rhythm. It was freeing. I was lost in the beat when familiar hands came around my front. I knew it was Mark.

His mouth came to my ear. “Hey. Wanna dance?”

Mark pulled me to him. Our bodies joined, and we began moving together. His head came down and kissed the exposed part of my neck, and I tilted to the side to give him full access. The crowd had thickened and was pressing in on us. The pulse of the music drove us. We moved until we were both a hot mess, and neither one of us had said a word through multiple songs of the most hip-grinding, dirty dancing I had ever done.

After nibbling on my earlobe, Mark said, “Let’s say bye to the boys, and then I’m taking you home. I think all these assholes got the picture of whose bed you belong in.”

Turning to face him, I kissed him hard as his hands stroked my back. His leg went between my legs, and we started moving again. Our hot tongues danced with each as our bodies moved as one. We were both sweaty and hot. We were about to be a sexual explosion out here if we didn’t leave soon.

Pulling back barely, our lips still touching, I responded, “Now, all the girls who were hanging around, hoping for a shot with you, know who you’re taking to bed tonight.”

He grabbed my ass, bringing me closer to him, and it only increased my sexual need for him.

Mark bit my lip and then said, “I like you a little jealous. Let’s go before I lose my remaining bit of self-control.”





I do believe that this is my favorite book in the Trust series. Mark is just all kinds of yumminess - football player, loves his family and head over heels for Sam. Sam has coped the best way she knew how to move on from tragic events in her past. She doesn't let anyone in, but when she meets Mark, he gets past all of her barriers. Still afraid to trust because she doesn't believe she is deserving of his love, Sam must decide if she's willing to take a chance with Mark. Emotional, witty, engaging, Promise Me is a story full of love, laughter, family and friendships. I would definitely recommend it as one to pick up.

But Damien’s past continues to threaten their future. A man once obsessed with Damien’s sister is now after his one and only love, Allison. The woman who came before Allison is determined to captivate Damien’s heart. And Damien’s best friend is somehow playing a part in it all.

Love Me is the second book in the Trust Series


 

 
 
*****NOTE: Contains spoilers if you have not read Trust Me, Book 1 in the series.*****

Have you met Damien Wales? If not, be sure to check out Kristen Mayer's Trust Series. Love Me is book 2 in the series and is the continuing romance of Damien and Allison Scott. The story picks up where Trust Me left off, right after Damien and Allison become engaged. As Damien and Allison settle into their new life, planning their wedding and being together, they learn that there is a threat out there that is determined to tear them apart. Damien will need to reveal secrets about his past that he hadn't shared with Allison and hope that they don't drive her away. Love Me is an engaging story that has a little bit of everything. There's hot romance, love, an unknown enemy, family drama and a feisty best friend. I definitely recommend both books in Kristin's TRUST series for an enjoyable read.

 
 


“Tybee Island. That’s what I was handling with Bane. I rented us a house on the beach after we left the doctor’s office. You’ll be safe, Alli, I promise. Security is already in place.”

The last statement and somber tone in his voice has me instantly pulling back from the window.

“Damien, you are the only person I feel completely safe with while this maniac is out there. I don’t worry about not being safe when I’m with you.”

He sends a quick text, and then he grabs the nape of my neck and pulls me to him. Whatever was missing is back in full force and then some as my body warms, and he begins to penetrate all my senses. The familiar haze comes over me, and the world completely begins to slide away.

I’m not even waiting for foreplay as I wrench my shirt and bra off my body. Damien’s warm mouth immediately encapsulates my breast, and I arch at the pleasure that begins to radiate down to my core, igniting a burn down there.
 
I need my husband shirtless now. I go to the bottom of his thermal shirt and start to pull it up. He immediately disengages from my body as he takes over, and he has it over his head and discarded in about a quarter of the time it would have taken me. In one movement, he’s picked me up and laid me out on the limo floor.

He goes for my pants and pulls them from my body. “F**k, Alli, you are beautiful.”

I try to do a seductive smile, but then his finger slides down my cleft and dips into my core. I arch off the limo floor. He undoes his pants enough to free himself, and he is on top of me immediately.

“I can’t wait. I need inside you now.”

I open my legs up in invitation and whimper at the friction as he enters me.
 
“Oh, Damien, please, yes. It’s been too long.”
