Happy Release Day Falling Star by Laura DeLuca

Drew DiPalma feels like he’s living a lie. He’s had it with his Hollywood persona, the high-maintenance women, and his sleazy agent.  To escape the madness, he flees to a tourist town he’d often visited as a child. He never expected to find love on that little island. Then he stumbles upon Lainey alone on the swing set of a deserted beach.
After a dozen internet dating disasters, Lainey Riccardo has given up on romance—until she meets a West Coast hunk who has no trouble winning her heart.  But Lainey only knows him as Drew, not the Oscar-nominated actor who’s constantly scandalized in the tabloids. When she learns the truth, will the small town Jersey girl be able to accept Drew’s fast-paced life? Or will the truth drive her away forever?

Beautiful Oblivion and Beautiful Illusions by Addison Moore Review and Spotlight

Beautiful Oblivion From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Addison Moore: Some people just don’t belong together, or at least that’s what the world would have them believe. It was supposed to be just for the summer… Reese Westfield comes from a world of old money, country clubs, cotillions, and expensive cars. She’s tired of dating Warren McCarthy just to make her father happy. Reese has long since had her eye on someone else, and this summer she’s determined to make it happen. Growing up in Lake Loveless there has always been a strict monetary divide—there was the rest of the Lake and then there were the Waterman’s. Ace Waterman has worked for everything he has, and he doesn’t have a lot. He breaks his back doing grunt work while putting himself through college. He’s used to life passing him by. Reese has loved Ace from afar for as long as she can remember. The summer of her freshman year she comes home with plans to land Ace in her bed at least for a few short weeks, and, if she’s lucky, forever. Ace has loved Reese for as long as he can remember, but their friendship has never graduated beyond platonic, so when Reese comes home from her first year away and proposes the two of them have a summer fling, Ace is quick to comply. The rules: no strings, no expectations, just something hotter than the sun to set the sheets on fire. But when their worlds collide, and neither of them is willing to admit to having true feelings, it becomes clear to Ace he’s nothing more than a dirty little secret—that the summer fling was just something meaningless to pass the time. Reese wonders if she can ever stop trying to please her father, and it’s only through her mother’s letters that she finds the answers she truly seeks, but will they be the ones she wants to hear? As summer draws to a close, Ace and Reese are still very much enraptured even though the time has come to douse the flame and move on—but neither one of them is prepared to leave this BEAUTIFUL OBLIVION.
My thoughts I truly loved this book. The author has a great ability to tell a sweet love story where you are routing for each and every character. I loved the dynamics that Reece and Ace had together. This is a book that has some sex in it but there is a very beautiful story that is being told. It was a book that I highly recommend to anyone that has a soft spot for true soul mates that overcome all odds to finally get together. Money is not the end all to all romances and when you finally find that one person to love money is never the answer. Plus having a character like Warren to hate makes it so much sweeter. I love how Addison Moore is able to complete the story without a dreaded cliffhanger. I also love how she was able to bring this story to life and have you wanting that HEA. I also love how she carried these fabulous characters into the second book Beautiful Illusions.
Beautiful Illusions Sometimes the past comes back to haunt you—in the most heartbreakingly beautiful way. Gavin’s story. I fell in love hard and fast as lightning. As quick as she came into my world she was gone. Demi said she has secrets—that she’s done horrible things. Who hasn’t? I’m not going to let the past determine our future. Sometimes love lays forever at your feet and sometimes you need to fight for it. Demi is worth every damn battle we’ll have to go through. I’d burn down the world just to keep her safe. And, after what I’ve discovered, I just might have to. All I need with Demi is one more night to convince her we’re worth it. And that one night is going to cost me everything.
My thoughts After reading Beautiful Oblivion I just knew that I needed this book. It definitely was a book you couldn't put down. I loved the reoccuring character of Gavin but I loved the addition of Demi. The things that we do in order to get back our lives is heartbreaking and a very emotional journey. Through a mistake meeting two people find themselves and through the course of a few moments you get that aha moment where you feel that you have found your soulmate. Although there are alot of different obsticles that one must experience makes that final step much more rewarding. I loved to see how one character from book one was a total smuck he was able to somewhat redeem himself and almost become human. I highly recommend this series to everyone. Cinderella finally meets her prince charming and he doesn't turn into a toad. He loves you unconditionally and makes you feel like you might actually deserve it even though there are things in your past that come back to haunt you. I was given a copy in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.
Addison Moore is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who writes contemporary and paranormal romance. Previously she worked as a therapist on a locked psychiatric unit for nearly a decade. She resides on the West Coast with her husband, four wonderful children, and two dogs where she eats too much chocolate and stays up way too late. When she's not writing, she's reading.

You And Everything After by Ginger Scott Cover Reveal


We are so excited to share the cover for You and Everything After by Ginger Scott! Take a look and be sure to let us know what you think.


 
 

Title: You and Everything After (Falling #2)
Author: Ginger Scott
Age: NA
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release date: December 5, 2014

 


I’m that teenaged girl who has MS. You haven’t met me, but you’ve seen me around. You probably know my sister. We’re twins, and she’s the pretty one. Maybe you’ve heard about my reputation, how much I like to hook up at parties—how easy it is to get me in bed, get what you want, and forget about me after.

Forget what you think you know. I’m leaving that girl behind.

College is all about new beginnings. So from now on—I’m just Cass. And the rest…it isn’t written yet. And no one else gets to write my story for me.

--------

“Tyson Preeter doesn’t do can’t.”

That’s exactly what I want people to think when they see me. I am strong, invincible, confident, intelligent—arrogant. I’m the man who always finds a way around, over and through—until there’s nothing left. Since losing my ability to walk six years ago, I’ve relearned life. I don’t need sympathy. I don’t want charity. And I don’t do love.

It’s better this way, saves my disappointments for me, and me alone, and it saves my strength for everything I want.

But Cass Owens is about to wreck everything. She’s about to steal all of my strength away from me, because she needs it more. She’s about to break all of my rules, and break down all of my walls. She’s about to own me…completely.

And I’m about to let her.

*This is book 2 in The Falling Series. This Is Falling is available for review.

 
 
Excerpt
 
“So honestly, when do I get to kiss you again?” She laughs at my harsh left turn in our conversation. I love the way she laughs. There’s this rasping sound that comes from deep inside her that shows it’s genuine, and her smile creases deep into her cheeks.
 
She flops to her back, and I instantly kick myself for causing her to move away. “You’re really trying to wear me down, aren’t you?” she says, her hand running along the side of her face until she covers her eyes, peering at me through her barely spread fingers.
 
“Wow, well…I’ve never really had to wear anyone down before…” I say, shielding my slightly dented ego.
 
“And that’s precisely why we need to be friends, and why I can’t kiss you…” she starts, and I interrupt.
 
“Again,” I say.
 
“Right, again,” she whispers and moves her hand back to cover her eyes. I take this opportunity to roll onto my side and really look at her, the way her lips barely part when she breathes, the small twitches they make when she fights against her body’s urge to smile, the tiny movement of her tongue as it wets her lips. I have to kiss her again.
 
“But…and hear me out,” I say, startling her with how close I am. She uncovers her eyes and turns to face me, scooting back a few more inches just to maintain this new self-imposed “safety”distance.  “Maybe the fact that I am willing to work so hard just to get you to say yes makes you different.”
 
She stares into my eyes for several long seconds, her lips slightly parted as she considers this. “Am I? Different?” she asks.
 
“Now see, there’s the catch,” I say, running my thumb softly over the wrinkles in the sheet between us. “I can’t know for certain unless I kiss you again.”
 
“Oh really,” she says, smirking.
 
“Cross my heart,” I say, motioning my hand across my chest. “It’s in the handbook.”
 
“There’s a handbook,” she says.
 
“Uh, duh. There’s always a handbook,” I challenge back.
 
“And your handbook says you can’t tell if I’m worth your time without jamming your tongue down my throat?” she fires back.
 
“Wow. Again with the word slap,” I say, secretly loving this back-and-forth we’ve got going now.
 
“Word slap?” she questions.
 
“Yeah, like, you just bitch-slapped me in the face with your words. Word slap,” I say with a shrug. She holds my gaze after this and bites at the corner of her lip, her eyes squinting as she decides her next move.
 
“Okay, how’s this,” she says, leaning in a little closer, closing the gap in the invisible barrier she seems to have instituted when I started talking about kissing. “You can kiss me again…” I move toward her on instinct, but she’s quick to put her hand against my chest to stop me. I grip it, tight, and meet the dare in her eyes. “But not until you mean it.”
 
There’s a fire in her eyes when she says this, one that I don’t disrespect, and don’t dare cross. It’s not threatening, but it’s serious, and I have this feeling churning in my stomach that Cass Owens is what Nate and I like to call a game changer. Her words have my heart racing, my mind worried that I can’t mean it enough, at least not yet. All of our playfulness from seconds before has ceased with this line she’s drawn, and I will obey it.
 
Holding her gaze, I lift the hand I’ve trapped against my body to my mouth and press my lips to her open palm. I don’t speak, and I don’t break our line of sight. But I don’t kiss her, either.
