Release Day Blitz: San Diego by A J Harmon

About the Book

Contemporary romance author AJ Harmon is going to do it again with her new Sky Romance Novels series. Book 1, San Diego - love comes in many forms, is the beginning of this heartwarming and inspirational new series.

Building on the success of her First Class Novels series, one of Amazon’s bestselling authors, AJ Harmon is going to answer the question we all ask ourselves when waiting in the airport for a flight. “I wonder where they’re going…and why?”

In “San Diego – love comes in many forms” we will follow three passengers and one member of the crew as they explore, discover and embrace love, passion, loyalty and selflessness to fulfill their desire to love and be loved in return.

Flight attendant Jill Delaney has a surprise waiting for her at her destination in San Diego and a life altering decision to make.

William Nestor, an esteemed New York Oncologist, flies west after decades of living on the opposite coast to bury his father, where he recognizes an unexpected opportunity to conquer his fear and claim a love that was lost. Will he finally be bold enough to claim what should have been his twenty-five years ago? Or will he once again retreat from his desires?

Annie and Evan Wilder, the perfect couple, travel to San Diego to discover the true meaning of unselfish love and the missing piece to their perfect life, only to be blessed with two miracles instead of just the one they’d spent the past ten years praying for.

The heartwarming and inspirational stories you’ll follow in “San Diego – love comes in many forms” will brighten your day as you laugh, cry and celebrate love and family with these loveable and relatable characters that AJ Harmon has brought to life.

About the Author

AJ Harmon was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia. She currently resides in Oregon, USA, with her husband Brad. They have two grown children, her pride and joy, and a dog named Max.

An avid reader of the Romance genre, the books in her personal library range from historical to erotica and everything in between. “I love reading a sweet romance set in the English Regency period where men were gentlemen and the women pretended to be naïve. But sometimes you just need a hot sexy romance to cap off a long week,” she smiled. The bookshelves in her home are filled with a variety of authors and she is humbled to now be among their ranks. 

AJ is a new author, finding her passion in writing after her children had left home, leaving her and her husband empty-nesters. She says the ‘First Class’ series has been a pleasure for her to write and has been absolutely delightful that readers have received them with such a warm embrace.  “It will be hard to say goodbye to the Lathems,” she said. “They have become a huge part of my life and I consider them my family.” The series has nine volumes in total and AJ considers it to be one of her greatest achievements. “This series has changed my life and the readers have brought me more love and joy than I ever hoped for. My life is a fairytale.”

AJ is excited to be working on her new contemporary romance series, Sky Romance Novels, with the first book in the series coming in February, 2014.

Review: Lila's Choice by Laura Brown

LILA'S CHOICE

Laura Brown

Blurb:

Never let your friends get involved in your personal life.

Lila and Nate learn this the hard way. They are the star-crossed lovers of Glendale High. For three years the students have waited for the two to get together. They begged Nate to put his past relationship behind him, and cringed when Lila started dating Bryce. Just your typical teenage romance, except they’re the teachers.

Lila, a guidance counselor with a sweet demeanor, has an answer for every problem, every problem but her own. A visit from childhood friend Bryce thrusts her calm world into turmoil, as emotions buried deep inside are dragged to the surface. He soon realizes what only a friend can notice and a lover regret, that Lila, unbeknownst to herself, is in love with Nate. 

Nate has seen better days. He is a history teacher stuck living in the past. Depression has kept his love for Lila unspoken, his ego frail after being cheated on.

Now Lila and Nate’s coworkers must unleash a scheme and uncover Lila’s true feelings. In a school this nosey what better way to get fast results than to involve the student population? The students are all too eager to get involved. 

If everything goes as planned Lila will have to choose between two men. If her friends fail they might destroy these three and ruin their friendship. No wonder the scheme is called Project Torture.

The Review

I found this book through another blog, Indie Review Center, and was intrigued by the book video that was made for it...

So as I started this video, my mind kept wandering back to the video as the characters came into play.  I think I picture them slightly differently but I suppose that is what makes us 'like' different book or people. We all view book people differently. I'll post my dream cast...

Bryce (only without the facial hair)

Lila

Nate (maybe a bit longer hair)

Okay, now having done that. This is a debut novel by Laura Brown. It was a very sweet read. Now, I love my raunchy Christian Grey and Gideon Cross (-Has anyone ever noticed that their initials are switched?  CG and GC LOL kind of funny LOL) kind of reads, but occasionally reading a book that is not so detailed or even explained at all is nice to break up the heat.

This is a YA Contemporary Romance. There are implications of sex, but no actual scenes. The story is about Lila having to come to terms with her true feelings even when everyone else sees it she doesn't.  

Nate has loved her for 3 years but because he's dealing with his own turmoil, he never makes a move on it. Longing and misery lead Nate into a dark stage, into a depression. You really feel for him. I liked him the minute he entered, even if he was a grumpy gloomy guss.

Now Bryce, I'm torn on him. At first I didn't like him because I really like Nate. Here Bryce is getting Lila and Nate's breaking down...

"It is. I will spend my thirtieth birthday watching the love of my life fall for some other man." ~Nate~

Okay so I understand that it isn't Bryce's fault that Nate wouldn't get off his ass and say something, but still.

Bryce and Lila have been friends since they were 5 years old. Only things have changed between them. They start to see them for the better part of 20 years. Bryce is a good guy and I did have sympathy for him in the book just wanted Nate and Lila together not him and her. LOL!

So with meddling friends (and students) how does the story pan out? With a shit ton of backfire. I really can't say much more beyond that or it will give too much away. If you are looking for a light read, full of love and turmoil. Then you should pick up this book. Nicely done for a debut novel. I wish the author all the best in her future books. I will definitely be looking for more from her.

BLITZ DAY POST and REVIEW for Spicy by Lexi Buchanan

 

Blurb

Because of screwing up with Callie, during the summer, I’m drowning my sorrows with drink and women…or that’s what I’m trying to do, but it isn’t working. Every time I close my eyes all I see is Callie, her long flowing blonde locks, her slim curvy body with legs that go on for miles and breasts that make my mouth water. She’s become my weakness and I have no idea how to make amends for my past sin…

It’s been weeks since Reece left me without a backwards glance, and I’m an idiot because I’m finding it difficult to move on and forget him. It doesn’t help that my best friend, Thalia, is engaged to his best friend, Phoenix. But tonight I intend to change all that and maybe do a little flirting with another guy and see where it leads…and who knows, it might even make the pain in my ass realize what he’s missing…

Can be read as a standalone and has an HEA ending - No Cliffhanger

My Review

You know I'm finding it harder and harder to find new ways to say how much I love Lexi Buchanan! With every book I have read by her I am immediately pulled in and fall over her men from tripping on my tongue. Spicy was definitely no different.

Reece is trying to forget Callie. Callie is trying to move on and maybe rub it in. The thing is it is harder to move past something when you can't quit thinking about it. Both Reece and Callie have to come to terms and make a decision on whether to resist what they can't forget or give in and realize that sometimes we just can't control everything.

Reece is just what I expect from Mrs. Buchanan. He's HAWT spicy, wish he was yours, tough but with a tender side.

Callie is strong, beautiful and lovable. You can easily put yourself in her place.

As with all her books, you are taken on a journey, ups and downs and twists and turns. In Spicy they go from denial to love and all the emotions in between. I can't express how much I truly loved this story. I can't wait to read more from this author. Sitting on the edge of my seat for more of my favorite bad boys...Who's with me????

Lexi Buchanan--> Thank you for giving me the chance to not only read this amazing story, but to fall in love with yet another bad boy! You're ability to keep me held with each page never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the amazing work and I will keep on reading. Addicted to your stories.
