Title: The Problem With Crazy
Author: Lauren K McKellar
Genre: NA Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Berto Designs
Release Date:  February 13, 2014


The problem with crazy is that crazy, by itself, has no context. It can be good crazy, bad crazy . . . or crazy crazy—like it was when my ex-boyfriend sung about me on the radio.

Eighteen-year-old Kate couldn’t be more excited about finishing high school and spending the summer on tour with her boyfriend’s band. Her dad showing up drunk at graduation, however, is not exactly kicking things off on the right foot—and that’s before she finds out about his mystery illness, certain to end in death.

A mystery illness she is likely to inherit.

When your whole life goes from adventure and ecstasy to sad and suicidal, what’s the point? Not knowing who to love, and who to trust . . . where does it end?

The Problem With Crazy is a story about love and life; about overcoming obstacles, choosing to trust, and learning how to make the choices that will change your life forever.

“Nice ass,” a deep voice said. I jumped and quickly straightened up. Heat rushed to my cheeks as my head spun from left to right, trying to identify where the noise had come from.

“Sorry,” the voice came again, only this time I identified its source. A guy stepped out from behind the tree, lit cigarette in hand. He was tall, about six foot, with floppy brown hair, olive-toned skin and chocolate-coloured eyes, a tiny freckle marring his right cheek. A small smile was twisted on his lips, showcasing a dimple that made something twinge inside of me.

“You can’t do that.” I frowned.

“If you’re going to bend over in my presence I’m not allowed to compliment you?” The guy stepped forward, closer to me.

“I was stretching,” I shot him what I hoped was a withering look. “And you were hiding behind a tree.”

“I was relaxing behind a tree.” He stepped closer again and I saw the light dancing in his eyes. “But I do realise I might have come across a little sleazy. I meant it as a compliment. You have a great ass. Much better than some of the others I’ve seen around here.”

“You do this all the time?”

“Depends on what you mean by ‘this’.”

“Stand behind trees, and check out peoples asses.”

Cover reveal ~ Something More by Jenna Tyler



Cover Designed by Robin Harper @ Wicked by Design 


~ Blurb ~

Rebecca Michaels has finally grown tired of her monotonous life and is ready to make a drastic change.  Now that her daughter, Charlie, is away at college, there has never been a more perfect time to make it happen. 

Packing up and leaving behind all she's ever known, she eagerly ventures out in search of what the world, outside of this dull town, has in store for her. 

When she first encounters Andrew Chambers, a mysteriously sexy and seemingly wealthy stranger, she doesn't think she will ever stand a chance with someone like him.  Little does she know just how wrong she is or how fierce an attraction the two of them would immediately share.  Although, lavish attention and on-demand orgasms are not something she's going to complain about, the speed and intensity with which Andrew pursues her is almost more than she can handle. 

Rebecca Michaels wanted an adventure, but the one that awaits her isn't necessarily what she had in mind.

Cover reveal ~ Dirty Little Lies by Clare James



Title: Dirty Little Lies
Author: Clare James
Cover Design: Berto Designs
Release Date:  January 27, 2014
Here's what others are saying about the opening chapters to DIRTY LITTLE LIES

★★★★★ Scorching Hot Stars!!!

“T.E.A.S.E. WOW. Clare really wasn’t joking when she said this is way steamier than her other work! Ladies…I have a feeling this this is going to be a series your men will want you to read…and then re-read!” – Jelena’s Book Blog
“Clare James is such a tease, but she is a genius! Stevie Sinclair wants to get her life back … and the first night of her quest is scorching! That’s all I’m going to say. This was an insanely hot encounter and I need more of it now. Stevie is awesome! I love Gabe! He is the epitome of sexiness!”—Liz, Romance Addition
“I LOVED it. I loved Stevie. Gabe was broody, gorgeous, enticing, and delicious … left me wanting and craving more. It was fun, serious, angsty and refreshing. –Rachel Brookes, New Adult Author of Just Breathe
“Things get very hot and steamy with these two but maybe not exactly the way you would expect… Let me just say you will not be disappointed! This was a very sexy, funny story with great characters.”—Romance Book Junkie


Twenty-nine-year-old Stevie Sinclair has just lost everything: her boyfriend, her apartment, even her ugly bird named Free. (Yeah, she knows it’s stupid name, so don’t start.) But most importantly, Stevie’s lost herself. 

As she shuffles through her days in worn-out Hello Kitty PJs—eating ice cream, sipping wine, and contemplating her next move—a magazine article catches her attention. Blaring black letters read: "How to Get Your Sexy Back in Six Easy Steps."

Stevie studies the article in the trashy magazine like the good student she is and immediately knows what she has to do. With the magazine article in hand, and a bottle of red in her bag, Stevie embarks on a journey to reclaim her life and win back her ex.

Until she meets Gabe Shannon. Gorgeous, single, and on a quest of his own, Gabe introduces Stevie to a club that is sure to help get her sexy back and then some. If she doesn’t chicken out … (Oh, you know where this is going.)

What follows is a story of self-discovery, romantic gestures, erotic encounters, and following one's heart--even if it leads in unconventional directions.

Clare James is the author of steamy contemporary romance and new adult novels: BEFORE YOU GO, MORE, and DIRTY LITTLE LIES.  A former dancer, Clare still loves to get her groove on--mostly to work off her beloved cupcakes and red wine.

A fan of spunky women, gorgeous guys, and super-hot romance, Clare spends most of her time lost in books. She lives in Minneapolis with her two leading men--her husband and young son--and loves to hear from her fans.</ span>

Review ~ Wicked Wave by Sharon Kay


Making daggers out of raindrops is only the tip of the iceberg for Brooke Bonham. As one of four women who can control the elements, her ability to manipulate water packs a deluge of potential. Eager to learn more, she’s frustrated at the precautions she must take to avoid the wrong kind of attention on Earth. 

Kai's duties as a Lash demon have kept him busy on Earth for nearly two hundred years. Fighting? He was born to do it. Females? They're drawn to him. And Earth? The perfect place for him to avoid supernatural bounty hunters.

Though the two of them mix like oil and water, Kai senses that beneath Brooke’s frosty exterior hides a vortex of simmering passion. He’s determined to thaw his ice princess.

Forced to work together in the immortal realm, they track a rogue Lash demon at the helm of a widespread kidnapping operation. All too soon, Kai’s dark past catches up to them. Time runs out as a second enemy, bent on revenge, vows to stop at nothing short of Brooke’s enslavement and Kai’s death. As they and their foes stalk each other in a demonic game of cat-and-mouse, will her evolving skills and their fledgling bond be enough to save them?

Ramblings . . .

The second in the Solsti Prophecy Novels.

We couldn’t wait to get our hands on this baby after having read Wicked Wind. (Which by the way is awesome!!)

This continues from the first book but this time round we follow the love/hate relationship of Kai and Brooke. Brooke, you may remember as Nicole’s sister – her power is controlling water. Hence the awesome title for the book. Kai – the brother of Gunnar. Kept in captivity as a slave to fighting for his life against every demon imaginable. You could say he hasn’t had a smooth run so far. But here he is hundreds of years later still kicking butt.

As we know from Wicked Wind, Brooke and Kai didn’t exactly see eye to eye – always avoiding and ignoring each other because any time spent in the same room was often spent bickering or glowering at one another. So it’s great to finally see some of that pent up sexual tension put to release!

I love how their relationship develops. I think I would put quarries to sleep if I was taken by monsters and thrown into a cell too. That’s exactly what happens to this pair. Once again proving that Sharon Kay has an outstanding imagination with the power to create such a vivid world filled with beings of all nature. She sends us to places that you wouldn’t find in your typical romance book.

As the story takes you on a rollercoaster of adventure into more self discovery, meeting some awful, yet nice creatures on the way. The journey is just building up for the bigger picture, such a mystery on what lay ahead for the Solsti and demons. Every challenge brings Kai and Brooke closer developIng stronger connection. With believe, trust and love everything is possible when you put your mind to it. 

Yet again another awesome installment In the Solsti Prophecy Series. Can't wait to see what's up next in this adventures story, the story is just getting better, Best to come yet...

~ A bit about the author ~

Displaying Jani Kay Pic.jpgJani has been married for a long time to a special man, and her two children and their partners are the sunshine in her life. She is a voracious reader and would spend her last dollar on a book - always fascinated that for the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through someone else's eyes.

Besides reading, her favorite 'thing' is traveling - she has traveled the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realization that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things. Her hobby - Scrapbooking - keeps her up till way after midnight and her usual subjects are her family and her travels.

Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people, about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness - arguably the most difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately desires (in her humble opinion).
