Cover Reveal for Daughters of Night Series by Ashley Torbeck

Imagine the world you know being ripped away from you, and suddenly you realize all the fairy tales and scary stories just might be true...

The only thing Carmen really wanted was to live a normal life, but when the man of her dreams turns her into a monster and she learns of her witchcraft heritage, she said goodbye to normal and entered the world of the Daughters of Night.

Daughters of Night: Sanctuary

Life is hard. Death is harder. But for Carmen, the two go hand-in-hand.

Just when Carmen thinks her life is looking up, fate steps in and forces her into a life or death decision. Literally. Choosing to follow the guidance of her soulmate Gaviyn, Carmen breaks a centuries old curse and learns to live life as a vampire and a witch. With so many unanswered questions and hidden truths, though, Carmen keeps learning new facts about the past that only leave her with more questions. But the dangers are far from over as the pair is hunted by The Eradicators-whose goal is Carmen’s eternal demise. Gavin and Carmen seek out Sanctuary-a coven of misfit vampires and witches-in the battle for all their lives, and only the greatest sacrifice can save them all.

Daughters of Night: Possession

Taking refuge in the Colorado Mountains, Carmen and Gaviyn finally have it all. Friends, followers, and the family they had always dreamed of. But when a new vampire coven threatens to destroy Carmen’s family and release an evil with a thirst for blood upon the world by consuming Carmen’s mind, body, and soul, the vampires and witches of Sanctuary find themselves at war again. The key to Carmen’s salvation from the grips of a powerful demon, however, lies with a girl that none have ever met. With Carmen’s possession growing stronger by the minute, it’s a race against time to find the mystery girl and save Carmen before the demon consumes her – and still find Damien – before it’s too late.

Daughters of Night: Tribulation

After all that Carmen has been through, there is nothing she won’t do for her family. Nothing.

With Damien still missing and the new vampire coven still on the prowl for Carmen’s blood, Carmen goes looking for trouble, and finds more than she bargained for. Carmen’s sudden disappearance forces Gaviyn to make some changes at Sanctuary-one of which will change the course of their coven, and pave the way for the future of Sanctuary. Damien, after being tortured to the brink of death over and over again, finally finds an ally, but she’s hiding a secret that Damien might not be able to forgive. With more twists, turns, and loops than a roller coaster, Carmen and Gaviyn work with some surprising new friends to save Damien and defeat the wicked coven-and their tyrannical High Priestess-once and for all, while Damien tries to survive the torture and find his way back home. But as always, sacrifice is the name of the game, and this time, it may be a sacrifice nobody is willing to make.

About the Author

An avid reader and sarcasm specialist, Ashley's quirky and bubbly personality stems from the vast amount of information she crammed into her head as a child. No genre was off limits, but she developed a fondness for Stephen King books early on. Of course, growing up in Eastern Kentucky, life moved a little slower, so books became her closest friends. 

Fast forward a few years, and the vast insanity that surrounded Ashley became her life. In January 2009, she married the only person on Earth as insane as herself, and they now reside in Louisville, Kentucky, patiently awaiting the zombie apocalypse while she taps away at the laptop with a plethora of stories to keep you entertained.

COVER REVEAL FOR....

IMPULSES

by V. L. Brock

Genre: adult contemporary/erotic/suspense romance

Release date: 18th February 2014

Synopsis:

“The day we first met, you said, ‘Before we begin’. Well, that was the beginning…it was the beginning of us.”

After a disastrous end to a far less than perfect relationship, twenty-four year old, Samantha Kennedy has traveled the path of promiscuity in order to strive for affirmation of her desirability. Unknown to her, Samantha’s beliefs of the world of men, is about to chart a new course when she begins a new position at reputable law-firm, Wentworth and Associates, and sets her eyes on her boss, San Francisco’s tall, dark and handsome, renowned lawyer, Hayden Wentworth.

After suffering the aftermath of his first love and having his heartbroken, thirty-one year old, Hayden Wentworth has lived the past year in black and white. Haunted by demons as a result of the torment he has endured, Hayden’s bleak world is about to be revived by his attractive new secretary and sexual predator, Samantha Kennedy.

Emotions that the pair long ago abandoned to save themselves any further heartache are unearthed, but should love ever be considered as a game of Russian roulette?

If they are to come together, Samantha and Hayden must relive their pasts in order to bury them for once and for all.

But what happens when you fall deeply and desperately in love with someone who has the traits of the one person who you strive every day to hate and resent?

Excerpt:

“I can’t do this, Hayden.” With a faint shake of my head, I slip my hand from under his.

“What do you mean? What can’t you do? I don’t understand,” he confesses with dubious creases marring his brow.

“I can’t be what you want me to be. I’m not that person.”

“I don’t believe that. What you are saying right now is out of fear…fear of experiencing something which could fail, which could hurt.”

“Excuse me?” I seethe. “How dare you? You have no idea…you don’t know me.”

He fists his hands through his hair and I see his eyes harden. “For God sake, Samantha, that is my point. I want to get to know you. I want you to give me a chance.” He lowers his hands back onto the table between us and cocks his head. “I want to know your likes and dislike, your favorite color, your guilty pleasures.” Extending his arm, the tips of his fingers softly skims over my own. I close my eyes and allow myself to fall victim to the tingles that immediately shoot up my arm. When I open them again, he has already drawn in his lower lip, his perfect teeth sinking into the pink flesh before letting it roll free. “I want to know who is hiding beneath this makeup…I want to know what it’s like to wake up next to you in the mornings.”

“With all due respect, Mr. Wentworth, you have no idea what you are talking about. You say that I am not surrendering because of fear, that I am using this, ‘I don’t need love’ ego to cover up the fact that I fear getting hurt…do you know what––” I shift to the edge of the pew and lean in across the table. I am greeted by his delicious scent and my stomach cinches. “––Damn fucking right I fear it. An animal gets burned when it goes into a fire; it evolves to finally realize that you stay the fuck away from it, no matter how enticing it may be. Fear is what makes you human; it’s what keeps you alert. It’s what keeps you––”

“––Running. Fear is what keeps you running. Dammit, Samantha,” he barks and the cutlery jingles and rattles against the china of the plates as he slams his hands down on the table in irritation.
Seeing this insistent, demanding side to him is doing absolutely nothing for defense. It just makes me want to pin him up against the booth, straddle his hips and force my tongue into his mouth to shut him up.

“I know fear––trust me, I really do. I stared it in the face the day you walked through my office doors, the first contact when you shook my hand. I felt that fear last night. My God, I’m feeling it right now. But I’m not running from it, because it is you. I am running towards my fear, Samantha…I’m running towards you.”

“Regardless, of fear and revelation, of going against your psychological defenses, Hayden––I just can’t. You are too much of a nice guy for me to tangle you up in the fuck-up web that is my life. I can’t hurt you like that…and I will not hurt you like that.” I recover my clutch purse that rests to my left on the pew and begin slipping myself out of the booth. “I’m sorry, Hayden. Thank you…for everything.” I push past the lump in my throat, and brusquely nod my appreciation for the chance that he gave me at work, for the flowers, and in all honesty, just for him being a genuinely charming, gorgeous, generous, and considerate man.

His mouth has fallen open in bewilderment and he looks on with hooded eyes. With every nuance of strength I have, I direct it solely on fighting the part of me that actually wants to stay, the part that wants to face that fear and walk towards the hot, entrancing flames of the fire in hope that I won’t get burned. But that’s just sheer naivety.

With the hefty sphere of reluctance forming in my chest, I will myself to pull my gaze away and flee from the booth, from the restaurant––from Hayden, not daring to even glance back, in fear of destroying us both, if I did.

*****Alluring Seduction Blog Tour***** Review by Kia

Alluring Seduction Synopsis 

Warning: This book contains explicit language and explosive sex. It is an adult romance and not intended for anyone under the age of 18. Jessie Adams is the womanizing, lead guitarist for the hottest rock band in the country, Bayou Stix. Seduction is his game. He does what he wants, when he wants, and with whom he wants. Women are playthings, but eventually meaningless sex with groupie after groupie gets old. Blue Delaney has spent years working nonstop and cultivating her way to being the hottest rock reporter in the business and the lead reporter for Rock Hard Magazine. She’s confident, sexy, and has no time for games. Jessie loves women and women love him, but something about Blue gets under his skin. She’s not what he’s used to. Blue loves Bayou Stix and is friends with the guys, but something about Jessie pushes her buttons. It doesn’t stop her from wanting him. When Blue is forced to go on tour with Bayou Stix and cover the band, tensions run high, chemistry is explosive, and Blue and Jessie begin to see each other in a new light. Their attraction is obvious to everyone but them. But in the end… the question is who’s seducing whom and is chemistry enough to sustain a relationship? Can this fierce woman tame this bad boy rocker? Does she want to?

Review:

First off can I say Skye Turner you did it again.  I know it's winter right now but while you read this it will feel like its mid summer this book is so hot.  There s no wonder she makes a disclaimer about having an extra set of panties and a vibrator available, you will need both.  Oh yeah and a fan to cool yourself off.

Just when I thought Jude was hot from book one Alluring Turmoil, here comes "Jesse Adams".  let me tell you HOT, HOT, HOT, did I say HOT. Ok you get it.

Jesse is the lead guitarist in one hot rock band called Bayou Six .  He does play his part as a "manwhore" don't get me wrong am all for a man who loves women but Jesse is a real manwhore loves and leaves them in one night never to look back again but then again can you blame him these groupies just give it up like its nothing.  Oh did I mention that he is well "hung" like really hung we are talking salami here hung.  Even though he is a "well hung manwhore" he has a heart of gold and when you learn more about him he comes out being a really sweet guy.

Now meet Blue.  If I was a male I think I would be all over her in a heartbeat she is one HOT female.  Blue eyes, dark short hair and a curvy body that any women would die for. She is the lead reporter for Rock Hard magazine and has known this band for about 8 years now and on tour for the past 8 weeks with the band for the magazine. She also stands her ground and will put in your place in a matter of minutes she is not to be reckoned with.

Jesse and Blue have a love hate relationship more hate than love that is.  Now if you read book one which I know everyone did right ;) Blue is good friends with Jude (lead singer of Bayou Six) and the rest of the band Liam, Crux, and Dade.  Jesse not so much all they do is get in each others face and fight all the time.  Now you will see the rest of the gang Lexi, Brandi, Erik, Micah and Alec.  You also get to witness the growing friendship that Blue has with the girls something she never had before actual girlfriends.  

I loved the dual POV because you get both sides of the story and you get to understand that much more about why Jesse and Blue are the way they are towards each other and to others.

Now wait didn't I say they had a love hate relationship lets just say they did some exploring after both of them got there heads out of their "asses" and try to explore and relationship to "get to know each other better". Well let's just say when you have Blues' 8 years of built up feeling for Jesse and Jesse not being able to keep his "salami" down while Blue is around and struggling to understand what exactly he is feeling lets just say there is so much lust, anger, protectiveness, jealous land much more going on it all combust when the do get a chance at one another it is off the charts HOT.  If I was a fly on the wall I would make sure I had a chair and some popcorn to watch the show oh and maybe a vibrator too ;).  There is so much "combusting" going on with them you may combust right along with them.

Now I don't want to say to much but I love that get to see everyone e from book one again and you even get to see a little of Clove and if you read closely there is something going on with her I guess we will find out in the next book Clove & Liam story.  Holy hotness I can't wait for that because I gave my own thoughts about what's going to happen in that one.

So if you are still sitting here reading my review and didn't get Alluring Seduction what are you waiting for......

Happy reading y'all

*****Raw by Belle Aurora*****Review by PJ

RAW

by Belle Aurora

Blurb:

***Author Note: This is not a love story. This is a story of love gone wrong.***

Growing up the way I did, you’d think I’d be more screwed up than what I actually am.

Soon as I turned sixteen, I left that bump in the road I called home and took my chances on the street.

Best decision I ever made.

Now, at the age of twenty six, I’m educated, employed and damn good at my job.

My friends have become my family. Like me, they know what it’s like to grow up unloved.

But the saying is true.

The world makes way for those who know where they are going.

That’s me.

I know where I’m going and I’ll get there eventually. On my own terms and at my own pace.

But then there’s him.

I feel his eyes on me. I see him hiding in plain sight. He watches me.

He makes me feel.

It’s unconventional.

But it’s real.

I’m sure you’re wondering how a person falls in love with their stalker.

So am I.

This isn’t a story.

This is my life.

My Review:

Okay so I freaking love Belle Aurora! She is one of my favorite authors. (Please remember that as I go through my review...seriously you'll see why...Remember!) She has a writing style that can just pull you in the story and hold you there even if the character is doing something so mundane. You feel their every emotions and crave their happiness as you would your own. When I read her first book and I was hooked. She's like a good drug. Knows how to make you laugh with words when all you want to do is cry. I just simply love that about her books...

Okay so that was until this book.  Was I ready for Twitch? Abso-fucking-lutely NOT! Okay now before you jump on my case here.  I wasn't ready for it. (Even though she gave fair freaking warning in the blurb) I just wasn't ready for it.

Okay before you completely flip out on me...

I FREAKING LOVED this book!

However, I loved this book for different reasons than I love her other books. Her other books are just so light and hilarious, but with enough angst to get you breaking up in pieces for the characters. This book however is NOT light that I was accustomed to. It was still an amazing book. 

I have this vision of Belle sitting down at her computer with the thought of this book in her mind trying to think of a title for it.  I picture her tapping her lip with her finger, her lips pursed and looking up at the ceiling. Then I picture her get the most evil smile on her face as she types three letters.  

R. A. W.

Well if there was ever a title to let you know how you'd be AFTER reading the book. This was definitely it! I can't remember how many times I found myself holding my breath, crying, screaming. I believe when I was finished with the book, I sent Belle a message that made her laugh hahaha. 

My husband even tried to talk to me about something (hell if I know what he was talking about I was freaking reading!) and I may have agreed to something I didn't want to do.  What might you ask? Shoveling DAMN snow! But anyway....

This book completely gutted me and it left me (for lack of a better word) RAW. The way he, and then she, and he... Hell I want to say so much but I'm so afraid of ruining the damn story for someone else. *sigh*

Okay here are my recommendation answers: :D

Who should read this?  Anyone with eyes! (and of course over the age of 18)

Any warnings? This is different from her other works...be prepared for just about anything.

Side notes: Tissues are a must. A nonpublic read, you will be vocal with it (I was). 

Please remember it is not your e-readers fault and cannot change the course of the book. :P

Belle Aurora: You cease to amaze me with the stories you come with and the characters you give us to fall in love with (even in RAW). Thank you so much for taking the time to sit down at your computer and type these out. They truly are a joy to read even if I wasn't exactly happy with you in the end of RAW hahaha. <3 font="" hugs="" nbsp="">

Consumed by Emily Snow Release Blitz

Now that Lucas is back in her life, Sienna is sure the drama between them is over. But then he comes to her with a new offer: his band, Your Toxic Sequel, is going on tour and he wants her with him—working in wardrobe and as his girl. Life on the road is a complete 180 from everything Sienna has ever known. Not only does she have to deal with Lucas’s band members, but she’s also forced to be around Cilla, the lead singer of Wicked Lambs. Still, despite horny band mates and a gorgeous rock goddess determined to sink her talons into Lucas, Sienna stays by his side. Then the letters start to come—harassing messages from Lucas’s ex-wife, Sam. At first, Sienna brushes them off, keeping Lucas in the dark because Sam is bad for his music. But after Sam’s contact turns personal and violent, Sienna has no other choice but to confront Lucas. If she’s ever going to understand the twisted pull Sam has on him, she has to know his secret. But when he finally reveals it, will they be able to survive the consequences? Or will it tear them apart, consuming them? “Nice move, Mr. Wolfe,” I mutter under my breath. Tapping my foot rapidly against the floor, I wait for my suitcase to come around on the carousel. Once I locate it, I lug everything to a row of chairs nearby. It’s too hot for me to wait outside for some driver to arrive. No sooner than my butt makes contact with the hard seat do I hear snippets of a conversation between two women who are walking in the direction of the taxi exit. “ . . . I have all of their CDs. I could spot him from a mile away. It was definitely him, and you— you are stifling me!” What the hell? I twist around in time to witness the shorter woman with the black, asymmetrical bob narrow her chocolate brown eyes at the tall, leggy blonde. “And just last night you just said they’re on tour. So which is it, Kate? He’s on tour, or he’s bullshitting around this place?” “Or maybe,” Kate hisses, “Lucas is catching a flight because of his tour.” Lucas is already here? I clamber to my feet, allowing the argument between Kate and her friend to fade into the background as I scan as far as my eyes can see for Lucas. There are couples reuniting all around me, and what appears to be an entire busload of people holding up signs that say “Welcome Home, Gloria,” but no sign of him. I’m about to grab my stuff and go look, but then I see him. Heading directly toward me. His stride a little faster than it normally is, his soft grin entirely too confident, his hazel eyes cocky and yet so full of need. God, that man and those eyes. He’s wearing destroyed jeans and an olive green tee shirt that show off the green flecks in his eyes. His muscular arms hang relaxed by his side, but when he comes close enough for me to breathe in the clean, airy scent of his cologne, I notice that he’s worrying something between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand. I squint down at it as the toes of his Converse brush up against my ballet flats. “Well fuck, Sienna. Looks like you’re more interested in my hands than my face.” But he opens his palm, holding it six inches from my face. My throat constricts when I realize what he’s holding. It’s a guitar pick. Holy hell. “You’re grinding your teeth.” The volume of his voice is barely above a whisper and yet so powerful. “The things I want to do to you for that.” Emily Snow is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the erotic romance series Devoured, which includes Devoured, All Over You, and Consumed, as well as the new adult novel Tidal. She loves books, sexy bad boys, and really loud rock music, so naturally, she writes stories about all three.
