Release Blitz ... September by Audrey Carlan







Title: September
Series: Calendar Girl #9
Author: Audrey Carlan
Publisher: Waterhouse Press
 Release Date: September 30, 2015


Blurb

Vegas, Viscous Exes, and Ventilators. 


My life felt like a fast ride on a too short highway. Coming home should be roses and rainbows, but nothing that comes out of the desert blooms free. I was most certainly not free. I’d missed my payment to Blaine, owed the last client a hundred grand I didn’t have, and my father was on his deathbed. To make matters worse, Wes was missing in action. As in, no one had seen or heard from him in three weeks. Devastation didn’t begin to explain where my mental state was at. 



Like anything life had thrown my way, I pulled on my big girl panties, not the sexy lacy ones I enjoyed teasing my guy with, but the kind that said, “This ass means business.” 



I had no choice but to make the decision I made. 



My ex, the man that ruined the concept of love for me, put my father in the hospital, was about to get everything he ever wanted…at least that’s what I led him to believe. 



*** 



In the ninth book of the Calendar Girl serial, Mia rushes back home to Las Vegas, Nevada. Things have taken a turn for her father, putting her into debt up to her eyeballs. 



Each installment in the Calendar Girl Serial will release every month throughout 2015. The stories will feature Mia’s journey as an escort to twelve clients in twelve different locations.

Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language and graphic sexual content.

Release Day Blitz with Reviews (Gable and Zeke)... Loch by Harper Bently


Title: Loch (The Powers That Be #3)


Author: Harper Bentley


Release Date: Sept 30, 2015


Find on Goodreads






Loch Powers was the hottest guy I’d ever seen in my entire life.


And I hated him with every fiber of my being.

I'd practically known him since birth. Heck, we’d literally shared a crib as babies at his mom’s daycare.

Then I’d crushed on him hard when we hit middle school but he wouldn’t give geeky, glasses-wearing me the time of day. When his mom made him take me to the sixth grade dance, he’d humiliated me and I vowed to never talk to him again. 

The next year when my family moved away, I told myself that if I never saw him again it’d be too soon.

Now I’m back and attending the same college, but I’m no longer the skinny, ugly girl who was so infatuated with him. And I’m so over him it’s not even funny. 

But now that I’m no longer the ugly duckling, he’s set his sights on me, and I’m just not sure what to do with that.









LOCH
The Powers That Be #3

4.5 STARS

** I received an ARC for an honest review.**

This is my favorite of the Powers That Be series so far. I LOVE LOCH. I love that he is so sweet and genuine, but at the same time he keeps his cocky alpha male personality. 

I was a bit worried at how things would play out between Simone and Loch, but they went to great. I really liked that they both are so suited for each other. They really are perfect and compliment each other well. Even though I wanted to slap Simone around a couple of times I think she handled thing well enough considering she was talked into going through with Triple C to begin with. I also think that Loch handled it all really well and that made me love him even more. But I do think that they both have a bit of a temper, only Loch does put that in perspective at the end. 

I liked that we get to see a little more of Ryker in this book and get to know him a little more and am excited to see what his story will hold. I would have liked to see some of the previous characters in this book just to see how they are doing now, hopefully they will make an appearance in the next book. 









The Powers That Be #1

4 STARS

**I received a copy for an honest review.**

This was a quick and short read. It was also pretty enjoyable and Gable is definitely a bit drool worthy. I enjoyed the quick pace of this book and I also enjoyed the characters. the fact that this book was so short did not take away from the storyline or character development. I loved that at the end that we get a little bit of Gable's POV and it was well worth the wait. 

This book was very enjoyable to me. 



The Powers That Be #2

3.5 STARS

**I received a copy for an honest review.**

I felt that this book had a little to much push and pull of my taste. Especially for such a short read, but I still enjoyed it. I really liked Scarlett and her very strong characters. The fact that she is so dedicated to her family and committed to making something of herself really won me over. But there were times that she confused me with her back and forth and at times I thought that she was a little to weak emotionally. But considering all the stress of her life I can also see that at times her limits of crap she could take would be reached. I did like her bestie who seemed to be there for her and helped to keep her grounded when things go a little crazy. 

Now, Zeke Powers definitely did the Powers boys justice. He is so so sweet and genuine. I really loved him. I think I liked him more that Gable because his character was much less broody and he seemed to know what he wanted. I do feel that I wasn't able to connect with hime though. I think I would have liked a little more of his POV. 

I do like that at the end of these Powers books that we do get a small glimpse into the male POV. 







Harper Bentley has taught high school English for 22 years. Although she’s managed to maintain her sanity regardless of her career choice, jumping into the world of publishing her own books goes to show that she might be closer to the ledge than was previously thought.

After traveling the nation in her younger years as a military brat, having lived in Alaska, Washington State and California, she now resides in Oklahoma with her teenage daughter, two dogs and one cat, happily writing stories that she hopes her readers will enjoy.

Excerpt

Hunter brought the cold glass bottle to my lips, and I closed my eyes to better appreciate the flavor. 

  “Mmmmm.” Hints of caramel, a touch of cinnamon, and was that…nutmeg? I licked my lips. “Tastes like autumn.”

  “Next,” Hunter said softly. There was a clink as he set down the bottle, and another as he picked the second one up. Then that cool glass was against my warm mouth again, and I shivered as I felt his breath ghost against the back of my neck. I could practically feel the heart radiating off his body behind me. A drop of condensation slipped down the neck of the bottle, rolling down the fevered skin of my neck.

  Oh, right, the beer. I took a gulp, hoping the cool liquid would calm my disordered thoughts. No such luck—but it was delicious, strongly hoppy this time, notes of lime and orange and vanilla, with a peppery finish. “Damn, that’s good. It’s like spring!”

  “I’m glad you like it,” Hunter murmured. His arm encircled my waist—no, he was just reaching for another bottle, no, that was his other hand, this one was definitely resting on my waist, lightly, just above my hipbone.

  I didn’t dare open my eyes, for fear I would find I was only dreaming.

  “Another?” Hunter invited.

  “Yes please.” My voice was a whisper, hoarse with desire I hoped he couldn’t hear.

  And there it came, his gentle hands guiding it to my mouth, the smooth glass with its beads of moisture kissing my skin, and that that ambrosia sliding slowly down my throat: brown sugar and anise and a hint of…chocolate.

  “Ooooooh,” I moaned in appreciation. I licked my lips.

  And heard a sharp intake of breath from Hunter. “You like that?” he whispered.

  “So much,” I replied, feeling the heat in my body gather itself tight and low.

  Even with my eyes closed I was vividly aware of how close he was standing to me; I could smell him, hear each breath he took. His hand on my waist seemed to grip a fraction tighter, wrinkling the fabric of my dress—the hand holding the bottle seemed to tremble slightly, I could feel his breath ruffling my hair as he bent closer, those warm lips only inches from—

  My eyes burst open and I almost leapt away from him. We didn’t have time for sexual tension! That was what had gotten us into trouble in the first place. My mind fluttered rapidly over possible topics of redirection.

  It was difficult. It mostly wanted to think of Hunter shirtless.

  Maybe pantsless too.

  Yeah….definitely pantsless.

Release Blitz ... Highway Song by Jessa Jacobs

How did that famous quote from that old movie go? Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world... 

Well, this was a biker bar, not a gin joint, and there wasn't really a town nearby. But to have my long-lost stepbrother show up in the very place I'd washed up a month earlier like flotsam from a shipwreck - that was the same kind of irony.


Thank God he wouldn't recognize me. I'd been ten years old when he last saw me seventeen years ago. Too bad for my battered heart that I now recognized what I'd only sensed as a child. My stepbrother the rock star was hot.

Excerpt


Rex 

“Holy fuck!” 

I was lifting a mug of ice-cold draft beer for my first swig when the exclamation from our manager, Mark Brent, caused me to miss and splash half of it over my hands as I flinched. The sound of Mark’s chair hitting the floor as he jumped to his feet accompanied his exclamation. I jerked my head up, getting ready to rip him a new one, only to see him running out the front door of the bar. I set my remaining beer down quickly and then followed Mark at a brisk pace, along with the others. 

As soon as I was out the front door, the rest of the band members clustering around me, I saw the reason for Mark’s alarm. The bus was on fire. 

Joe, the driver had an inadequate-looking fire extinguisher aimed underneath the vehicle, where default smoke roiled out unchecked by the foam. As soon as the guys saw what was going on, pandemonium broke loose. Unlike bigger bands, ours traveled with no crew. Our instruments and accessories, all but a drum kit, were in the luggage hold, perilously near the fire. Ike, the drummer, was the only one who didn’t run to the bus to rescue equipment, besides me. 

I froze for half a second, and then used lungs more used to belting out rock music to yell. “Guys! Get away from there! It could go up. Holy shit, it’s just things.” Axel, Kirk and Cole ignored me, while Mark took off after them. I turned to Ike. “Call 911!” 

“Rex, take a look around. There’s no town. This is just a shitty little biker bar in the middle of BFE-nowhere Wyoming. Where do you think a fire crew is going to come from?” 

I lifted my gaze and stared out at the highway stretching from the east horizon to the west. Ike was right. Not a building in sight, other than Smokey’s Roadhouse, the bar where we’d stopped for lunch. The smoke from under the bus was dissipating though. Maybe the fire extinguisher had been enough after all. 

Mark had managed to pull Cole, the bass player, away from the bus, but the two guitarists were still banging on the luggage hold, as if that would make it magically open. I couldn’t blame them. Between them, they probably had thousands of dollars’ worth of back line in that hold. 

By rights it should have been in a crew bus. Even as I watched the bus destroy what might be our last chance to make it before some of the guys bailed on me, I knew it was my fault. Extinction wasn’t just our band name. It was a real possibility for our careers if this damn fire meant the bus wasn’t road-worthy. 

Amy 

He didn’t recognize me, thank God. I couldn’t afford for anyone to know who or where I was. After I calmed down, I reasoned it out. It had been seventeen years since he’d last seen me, and I was only ten at the time. There wasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell he’d know me now. Not only had I grown up, I’d grown up hard. 

On the other hand, I knew what that cool once-over meant. His eyes lingered on my cleavage a second too long. If I knew men, and I had good reason to, he’d make a play for me sometime tonight. I couldn’t let that happen under any circumstances. It would just be too weird, even though our relationship was less than nothing. 

His mother had married my father nineteen years ago. Like most of the women Dad attracted, she took off soon, though she did manage to last two years. She took her seventeen-year-old son with her. She hugged me before she left, and whispered, “I wish I could take you with me, honey, but he’d come after us. I’ll report him to the authorities.” 

I had no idea what that meant, then. And if she did, it went nowhere. My dad needed a substitute punching bag, and I got nominated by default. Whenever I hid from him, I pretended my big stepbrother, Rick, would find me and take me with him this time. But his last words to me, “See you kid,” never came true. I hadn’t seen him again, until now.




The men at the table with Rick called him Rex. I’d changed my name too. During the course of an otherwise slow afternoon, I gathered a few bits of information as I served them. They were a band—a rock band I assumed—and their bus had caught fire in our parking lot. It looked like it wasn’t going anywhere soon. My boss, Smokey, said it would probably take the rest of the day for a mechanic to get here to assess the damage. Highway 80 had plenty of traffic, but it was a long stretch of just about nothing from Rawlins to Rock Springs.
