Watch Over Me by Tara Sivec PLUS Giveaway




Addison Snow is your typical teenager. She has a family that loves her, friends that make her laugh, and
she's wrapped up in the excitement of graduating high school and going off to college to pursue her dream of
becoming an author. When her mother, who also happens to be Addison's best friend, dies unexpectedly,
her world comes to a crashing halt.
Death changes everyone...
To make the pain go away, Addison and her father travel down separate, dark paths. She chooses to end
her grief forever, while he drowns his sorrows in the bottom of a bottle. How do you learn to live again when
the most important person in your life is gone?
Addison struggles to pick up the pieces of her life. Instead of getting back to being the carefree teenager
she once was, she's stuck handling all of the responsibilities that should have been her father's. She has no
time to grieve, no time for emotions, and no time for happiness...until Zander Reinhardt walks in. All it takes
is one little handwritten note on a napkin to kickstart
her back to life and help her realize that maybe there's
more to that life than pain.
But can it really be that simple? Can she really trust this man who makes her feel alive again for the first
time in a year?
Addison and Zander both have secrets they aren't ready to share. When the truth finally comes out, is it
enough to tear them apart or has something bigger than themselves always been watching over them,
pushing them together, making sure they both get their happily ever after?

SafeWord by Teresa Mummert PLUS Giveaway





A chance meeting with a stranger can turn your entire world upside down.
When Colton ‘Colt’ Bishop enters a bar in New York City, he has a plan. His job is to find an easy target and take her back to his place for a few days. He is working his way up the crime ladder doing a job he never wanted.
Lily Hilton has it all, but is hiding from a troublesome past. When she enters a bar downtown, and runs into her old high school crush, her entire world is turned upside down. She is determined to make him notice her, but that plan may work better than she expects.
Colton does not hesitate to take Lily home and use her as his new pawn, but their past begins to catch up with them as their secrets unravel and he must decide what is more important to him, protecting Lily or himself.


Excerpt



I was a Russian spy at the ripe age of thirteen, given my uncanny ability to tell if someone was lying (I also read fortunes on the weekends). By sixteen I had become too much of a handful for the Lethal Intelligence Ensemble (L.I.E.). I was quickly exiled to the south of France where I worked with wayward elephants in the Circus of Roaming Animals and People (C.R.A.P.). I was able to make ends meet by selling my organs on the black market for pocket change and beer money. At the age of twenty three I decided to expand my
horizons and become a blackjack dealer in Ireland. I loved the family atmosphere at Barney’s Underground Liquor Lounge (B.U.L.L.). People couldn’t resist the allure of Liquor up front and poker in the rear. Eventually I became tired of the rear and headed off to the United States to try my hand at tall tales. That is what brings us here today. If you have a moment I’d like to tell you a story.

Release Day Blitz ~ One Tiny Lie by K.A. Tucker PLUS Giveaway!

This tour is brought to you by Ink Slinger PR!

Livie has always been the stable one of the two Cleary sisters, handling her parents' tragic death and Kacey's self-destructive phase with strength and maturity. But underneath that exterior is a little girl hanging onto the last words her father ever spoke to her. “Make me proud,” he had said. She promised she would...and she’s done her best over the past seven years with every choice, with every word, with every action.

Livie walks into Princeton with a solid plan, and she’s dead set on delivering on it: Rock her classes, set herself up for medical school, and meet a good, respectable guy that she’s going to someday marry. What isn’t part of her plan are Jell-O shots, a lovable, party animal roommate she can’t say ‘no’ to, and Ashton, the gorgeous captain of the men’s rowing team. Definitely him. He’s an arrogant ass who makes Livie’s usually non-existent temper flare and everything she doesn’t want in a guy. Worse, he’s best friends and roommates with Connor, who happens to fits Livie’s criteria perfectly. So why does she keep thinking about Ashton?

As Livie finds herself facing mediocre grades, career aspirations she no longer thinks she can handle, and feelings for Ashton that she shouldn’t have, she’s forced to let go of her last promise to her father and, with it, the only identity that she knows.

Review
When I got the chance to read this book I was excited then I got nervous. I LOVED the first book in this series, Ten Tiny Breaths. That book was a five star, must read for me. Would this one be just as good, or were my hopes too high? Thankfully K.A. Tucker did not disappoint! I freaking loved One Tiny Lie! The characters were so well written, I felt as if I knew them. I was feeling every emotion they were.

Ashton is the quintessential player. Tattooed, captain of the rowing team, cocky, and a womanizer. Not that the women are complaining! But, is there more to him than meets the eye, or is he just a jock?

Livie is the younger sister that has always kept it together. A straight A student, never getting into trouble, always caring for others with little thought about what she wanted. She had a hard childhood. After losing her parents and almost her sister in a horrific car crash, Livie had to become an adult at the young age of 11. She has always had her life planned out. She will attend Princeton and become a doctor. Is this what she really wants, or is she hell bent on living the life her parents wanted for her?

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.




Born in small-town Ontario, Kathleen published her first book at the age of six with the help of her elementary school librarian and a box of crayons. She is a voracious reader and the farthest thing
from a genre-snob, loving everything from High Fantasy to Chick Lit. Kathleen currently resides in a quaint small town outside of Toronto with her husband, two beautiful girls, and an exhausting brood of four-legged creatures.

Trophy Husband by Lauren Blakely


Sometimes you can't help falling in love, even when you try to do the opposite...

Successful fashion blogger McKenna Bell has spent far too long protecting herself after the way her ex-fiancé left her at the altar for a college chick he met the night of his bachelor party. Loving again, trusting again, well, that's just not in the cards. Especially now that her ex is back in town with his new woman, demanding custody of McKenna's favorite creature in the whole world--her dog.

No effing way. McKenna's had enough of him, and she decides to even the score by finding her own hot young thing -- a Trophy Husband. Sure, she's only twenty-seven, but doesn't that make it even more fun -- and infuriating to her ex -- to pursue a younger man?

When she declares her intentions on her daily blog, her quest quickly skyrockets in popularity, and that's when Chris enters the picture, and he’s got all the assets. He's handsome, successful, and turns her inside out with a kiss to end all kisses, the kind that makes you feel like a shooting star.

But loving again could mean losing again, and it's so much easier to focus on getting even, isn't it? Unless, you just can't help falling in love. Which means McKenna will have to come face to face with what she really wants in life -- protecting her heart from hurt, or letting go of her fears of a new beginning.


My Review
3.5 stars.

This was such a great story. McKenna's life was turned upside down by one night in Vegas. Her fiance calls to tell her he can't marry her the night before her wedding. And he has fallen in love with a stripper! Fast forward a couple years later while visiting her favorite diner guess who is sitting at the table next to her? Her ex-fiance with his new wife! Barry is a total DICK! I really wanted to reach into the book and beat the living hell out of him! After crying and cowering in the bathroom for hours, McKenna decides Barry isn't the only one who can have a trophy on their arm. She decides two can play that game. She takes her quest for a trophy husband public by announcing it on her fashion blog. And it's popularity catches like fire. Her fans will choose the final contestants. While she is in search for her trophy husband she meets a man that she really likes, Chris. Should she continue on her quest, end it and pursue Chris, or convince him to become a contestant?

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.
