UP IN FLAMES ~ KELLY HASHWAY --> BLOG TOUR, EXCERPT & GIVEAWAY

Seventeen-year-old Cara Tillman is in more danger than ever.

All around her, Cara’s fellow Phoenixes are being attacked. With no other choice, she and her group take the only option they have—call more Phoenixes out of hiding and wage an all-out war against the Hunters. But with the lines of loyalty blurred, and Phoenix secrets to be kept, there’s no guarantee anyone can be trusted.

Logan Schmidt walks the blade of love and obligation—and just one slip may end them all.

After stealing the Phoenix dagger and going into hiding, the Hunters are convinced Logan is one of their own. But with Cara’s memories recovered, her heart is set on Logan’s return. The problem is, she may be the only one who trusts him.

It isn’t long until Logan’s disappearance is noticed by his long-time friend, Anton Botas, who is more than just an outsider.
Though Logan trusts him, the Phoenixes do not, opening yet another fault line in their plans.

Where there is one, there are many.

Determined to end this once and for all, Cara and the others must destroy the Phoenix daggers—the only weapons able to kill her kind. But in a raging battle, Cara learns the awful truth about the relics. Destroying them may destroy the Phoenixes in the process.

Can Cara and her friends end this war, or is their future destined to go Up In Flames?


Up In Flames Excerpt

Logan

Nothing kills a mood faster than having your girlfriend’s entire family watch you make out with her. I’m not sure what it’s going to take to get them to trust me. I mean, I killed a guy tonight to protect Cara, and to protect their secret, yet they still look at me like I’m scum. I can’t help thinking if I wasn’t with Cara and came to them offering to help them stop the Hunters they would’ve welcomed the chance to have me on their side, fighting with them. But no. I’m not good enough for Cara, no matter how many Hunters I bag.

I pull away from Cara and lick my lip, which tastes like cinnamon. She looks me in the eyes and whispers, “I don’t care what they think. We belong together.”

“I know we do.” I get on my feet. If I’m going to face a mob of angry Phoenixes, I’d rather not do it on my ass. Thanks to Cara, I can’t feel any of the burns Jeremy gave me, but there are still faint red marks on my skin. Seriously, that guy has been nothing but trouble for me from the start.

“What do we do now?” Linette asks, her gaze shifting from me to Mrs. Tillman and back to me again. “I honestly don’t see why Logan would lie about this.”

“You don’t?” Garret yells, thrusting his arm out and pointing at me. “He wants to be with Cara and probably thinks this is the only way to do it. He made up a preposterous story that makes it seem like he’s good for Cara, but it’s nothing more than lies.”

“So you think I’m lying too?” Cara asks, moving away from me toward Garret. “You’ve known me for years. You’ve stuck up for me and bailed me out of trouble. So tell me why you’ve been a complete jackass since my rebirth.”

“Cara!” Mrs. Tillman interrupts.

Cara turns toward her mother. “I’m sorry but that’s what he is. He used to be like...” Her voice trails off and I can’t help wondering if she was about to say Garret was like a father to her. I doubt Mrs. Tillman would be happy to hear that. She despises Garret almost as much as I do right now.

“I haven’t changed Cara,” I say. “There’s no reason to take your feelings for me out on her.” I look around the group because Garret isn’t the only one who seems to be questioning Cara. “I am what I say I am. If you don’t want to believe me, that’s fine, but believe Cara. She’s your family, and if you all continue to argue like this and divide instead of working together as a group, the Hunters will pick you off. I’ll do my damnedest to protect you all, but I can’t watch six Phoenixes all the time.”

Cara takes my hand in hers, uniting us against the glares of the others. No one says anything for a while. Then Mrs. Tillman steps forward and takes Cara by her shoulders. “I don’t know why I’m surprised. You’ve never been like the rest of us, not completely.

You imprinted when you shouldn’t have been able to, you recovered your memories when you shouldn’t have been able to, and now you’ve managed to find the one and only Hunter that hunts our enemies.”

Her eyes move to mine, and she takes a deep breath before letting go of Cara and standing directly in front of me. I’m not sure what she’s going to do and it makes my insides lurch.

“You may think you’re special because you’re this new breed of Hunter, Logan, but you’re not.”

I open my mouth to protest, but she stops me by throwing her arms around me. She squeezes me tightly and I stand there, not sure how to respond. She steps back and tears fill her eyes. “You’re special because my daughter chose you. If you really are her protector, then understand you have the most important job in the world.”

“I know that. I won’t let anyone hurt Cara. The Hunters will have to kill me first.”

Kelly Hashway grew up reading R.L. Stein’s Fear Street novels and writing stories of her own, so it was no surprise to her family when she majored in English and later obtained a masters degree in English Secondary Education from East Stroudsburg University. After teaching middle school language arts for seven years, Hashway went back to school and focused specifically on writing. She is now the author of three young adult series, one middle grade series, and several picture books. She also writes contemporary romance under the pen name Ashelyn Drake. When she isn’t writing, Hashway works as a freelance editor for small presses as well as for her own list of clients. In her spare time, she enjoys running, traveling, and volunteering with the PTO. Hashway currently resides in Pennsylvania with her husband, daughter, and two pets.

STOLEN INNOCENCE ~ MELODY ANNE --> BLOG TOUR & EXCERPT

Every master was once a student – every woman was once a child …

What makes a person forget their entire identity? What makes them become someone else? What makes them desire pain … control … and ultimately pleasure? It’s not anything that happens overnight, over even in a few weeks. Tragedy beyond what a human can possibly imagine will forever alter Mary’s future.

Mary’s life is boring, conservative and typical. She wants adventure, thrills and so much more. But she will soon learn to be careful what to wish for when she’s taken against her will and thrust into the twisted world of a powerful man who doesn’t care if she lives or dies.

When Mary starts becoming Elena, she does find a savior, but is he truly the person who will protect her, or will he be the one to escort her straight into the pits of hell?

Forgetting who she is or where she belongs, she learns she can trust no one, rely on only herself, and fall further than she ever thought possible. She will become someone else and the cycle will begin. She will become the person who will eventually change the life of so many others. Some might say the change is good, the violence is necessary. And some will cry for this tragedy that should have been stopped.

Just when you think you know how it all came about, how it will end, you will be floored again by who can be trusted … and who can’t.

NYT and USA Today Best Selling Author Melody Anne has written the popular series: Billionaire Bachelors, Surrender, and Baby for the Billionaire. She also has a Young Adult Series; Midnight Fire, Midnight Moon and Midnight Storm – The Apocalypse along with her new, traditionaly published, Unexpected Heroes Series and the newest release “Stolen Innocence,” the first book in her new Becoming Elena Series.

As an aspiring author, she wrote for years, then published in 2011, finding her true calling, and a love of writing nonstop. Holding a Bachelor’s Degree in business, she loves to write about strong, powerful, businessmen and the corporate world.
When Melody isn’t writing, she cultivates strong bonds with her family and enjoys time spent with them as well as her friends, and beloved pets. A country girl at heart, she loves the small town and strong community she lives in and is involved in many community projects.

EXCERPT:

Before she could get orientated to the area, she heard a creaky door open and then she was pushed forward. She was lifted, and then the man was laying her down. She began to fight against him, but his fist connected with her jaw, nearly making her lose consciousness again as pain shot through her, and more blood oozed into her mouth.
She heard something above her snap shut, causing more fear to rush through her. Reaching her tied hands up, she discovered a solid wall above her. She reached to each side and found the same. She kicked out and there was nothing but walls.
Beginning to panic, she twisted from side to side as she tried to free herself. She was closed in completely. They must have placed her in a box — or possibly her own grave.

Lauren took a drink and turned to Colt. “Let’s dance!”

Jumping up, she pulled him out to the dance floor as I chuckled and continued my people watching.

The song changed from a fast song to a slower one. Oh, it’s Dan and Shay. I love that group. Scanning the dance floor, my eyes came to a halt.

“Jase,” I whispered as I watched him dancing with some girl. All of sudden the lyrics to the song played loudly in my ears.

He wasn’t talking at all to her, but he held her close to him. “Bastard,” I said out loud as the guy standing next to me at the bar looked at me shocked.

“Oh shit, did I cut in front of you?”

Pulling my eyes off of Jase and the girl, I took in the sight in front of me.

Cowboy. Tight jeans, nice body, boots, and a smile that would knock any girl off her feet. Any girl … but me.

“Nope, sorry that wasn’t directed at you. The guy who asked me to dance is dancing with someone else.”

I pouted as he smiled bigger. Good lord … when did I learn how to flirt?

Reaching his hand out for mine, he winked and said, “His mistake just became my gain.”

With a flirty grin, I set my drink down and placed my hand in his and let him lead me to the dance floor. The last place Jase would ever expect me to be is a bar in Llano. I had to admit when Lauren mentioned this place, my heart began to race at the idea of maybe seeing Jase. I just hadn’t planned on seeing him with another girl.

Lucking out, the next song was another slow one. Spinning me around, the guy pulled me closer and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Taylor. Yours?”

“Brad.”

Oh yuck. Why did he have to have the same name as my dad? Crap.

“Nice to meet you … um … Brad.”

“Pleasure is all mine, Taylor. I can promise you that.”

Ugh. Men.

He pulled me closer and I was praying to God this guy had something in his pocket and it wasn’t what I thought it was poking my stomach.

Blah.

For a few seconds I totally forgot why I had agreed to dance with him. I quickly looked around until I spotted Jase. He looked miserable and somehow that comforted me.

Kelly Elliott is married to a wonderful Texas cowboy who has a knack for making her laugh almost daily and supports her crazy ideas and
dreams for some unknown reason...he claims it's because he loves her!

She’s also a mom to an amazing daughter who is constantly asking for something to eat while her fingers move like mad on her cell phone
sending out what is sure to be another very important text message.

In her spare time she loves to sit in her small corner overlooking the Texas hill country and write.

One of her favorite things to do is go for hikes around her property with Gus....her chocolate lab and the other man in her life, and Rose,
her golden retriever. When Kelly is not outside helping the hubby haul brush, move rocks or whatever fun chore he has in store for her that day, you’ll find
her inside reading, writing or watching HGTV.

MY PERFECT MISTAKE ~ KELLY SISKIND --> BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY

About MY PERFECT MISTAKE

What happens in Aspen is definitely not staying in Aspen . . .

A girls' trip to Aspen was exactly what Shay needed to forget about her toxic ex-boyfriend. She's got her girls, pristine slopes for skiing, and hot guys everywhere. Of course, her epic self-rediscovery goes completely to hell when a wild (and deliciously hot) skier knocks Shay on her ass . . . and war is declared.

Kolton doesn't know what it is about Shay that makes him lose it. Not just his cool---although she does have an unholy gift for that---but his restraint. When anger gives way to explosive chemistry, they're both shaken with the intensity of it. But somewhere between lust and hate, Kolton and Shay realize they could have something real . . . if they don't kill each other first.

BOUND ~ JENNIFER FOOR --> COVER REVEAL

We are excited to bring to you the next standalone from Jennifer Foor in the Seven - Year Itch Series.

BOUND will release on MAY 19.

 



How many times can someone be forgiven? How long does it take for a man to change? What if the person you're married to isn't who you're in love with anymore?

What if infidelities have caused a person to lose trust and hope in their relationship?

I don't recognize the woman I've become.

I'm bored. Lonely. Unsatisfied. Weak.

It's crippling me.

After seven years of marriage I'm throwing in the towel and starting over.

Bennington Winthrop is my boss. He's made it clear he wants me. When I think my life can't get more complicated I become involved in a sexual relationship that both terrifies and excites me. I can't resist the pleasure, or the pain he gives me. I need to feel something again, even if I get lost along the way.

I have to decide if his lifestyle is the change I'm looking for or something I need to run from and never look back.

I'm Macy Stone, and this is how I let go of the woman I used to be in order to discover hidden desires I never knew could exist. My only obstacle now is coming to terms with the consequences, and being able to accept who I've become.

STOUT ~ GEORGIA CATES --> COVER REVEAL

 

 



 

 

 

 

Craft beer and the sexy men who brew it.

A beautiful neighbor. A complete stranger. That’s all she was when I moved in next door.

Adelyn Maxwell is my neighbor but she’s no girl next door. The more I come to know her, the more I discover she’s a good girl with a lovely dark side. And maybe I don’t want her to stay on her side of the fence.

I want to disturb the rhythm of her pulse.

I want to see the way her hair spills on the bed when she lies beneath me.

I want her to teach me the dirty pretty things she desires behind closed doors. And she does.

But mostly I want to leave my mark on the most intimate, untouched part of her body. Her heart.

A seemingly insignificant intersection of our lives neither of us recalls suddenly becomes a pivotal moment in our future. We aren’t strangers at all. And our paths aren’t crossing for the first time.

These twists and turns of fate will become one of two things: a wrecking ball to tear us apart or the connection to bond us together forever.

A faceless name. That’s all she was when I agreed to play a part in deceiving her. But then the unplanned happened.

We met. And all I wanted from her was a dirty weekend . . . until that wasn’t enough and I longed for so much more.

Lawrence Thorn suddenly means the world to me. And that’s a problem. She’s my business partner’s sister. Forbidden fruit. Pursuing her can mean trouble for me at Lovibond Brewery. But I don’t care.

I yearn for her skin against mine.

I crave her smell on my body.

I want to make her laugh and then hear her moan my name.

And she does for a brief moment in time.

But Lawrence wants more than I’m able to give. And it’s a damn shame because there’s no one on earth I want more than her.

An epic love.

A miserable ending.

Unless it’s not.
