Twenty-three year old model Charley Whitlock built a quiet life for herself after disaster struck four years ago.

Blog Tour: Broken Truth by Beth Ashworth





Synopsis:

Life for Charlotte (Charlie) Harris couldn’t be any better at this moment in time. She has her dream job, she has the extremely wealthy knight in shining armour and she has the best friends a girl could ever ask for. On paper, the beautiful world unfolding at her feet almost appears too good to be true for a working class girl from Manchester right?


But what happens when you gloss over the statistics and realise that the happy bubble you have been living in for the past fifteen months has all been a twisted, torturous path of lies? What if you realised that the person you loved wasn’t who they claimed to be any longer? 

With the once sacred and happy memories now turned into hatred and despair, Charlie must now follow her instincts to either forget her past and move on or force the hand that holds the cards to her life to reshuffle the deck before it leads onto the twisted future that lies in store. 

What will she choose? 

Can she forgive and forget for the only man her heart has ever loved?


(Please note that this book contains strong language and graphic scenes of a sexual nature which are intended for a more mature audience.)



Excerpt One:

“I know you’re watching me, Baby.” The groggy sound of his voice startled her somewhat.

Composing herself, Charlie smiled. “No, I’m not.”


He grinned sleepily before brilliant blue eyes opened and met her stare. “I think you are,” he murmured.

Her heart began to flutter repeatedly as their eyes continued to stare at one another. It was always like this between them, this playful yet sizzling chemistry that Charlie hoped they would never lose.  “So what are you going to do about it then?” she challenged with a smirk.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, he gave her a look that practically melted her insides to a puddle of goo. Licking her lips seductively, Charlie continued tracing her fingers across his stomach, enjoying the feel of his skin blazing beneath her touch.

“Are you teasing me, Baby?” he asked with a hint of amusement. Lifting both of his arms to rest behind his head, Charlie watched as he tensed the muscles in his abdomen, defining the already ridged muscles further.

She knew he was playing dirty, but she also knew that she could play dirtier. It was definitely time for her to up her game she decided as she removed her hand from his body and placed it on her left thigh. Very gently, she ran her fingertips from the top of her leg to the bottom. His eyes widened as he watched her fingers pursue an unrelenting path over her soft skin until she stopped at the juncture of her thighs.

Excerpt Two:

“Careful,” Callum said as he closed the space between them and placed his hands on her shoulders to steady her balance. He flicked his eyes up and down the length of her naked body, lingering unashamedly at the soft swells of her breasts. “I missed you,” he murmured huskily.

Even standing underneath the hot water of the shower, Charlie couldn’t help the way her nipples began to harden. She was unable to control the reactions of her body around Callum, so she had just learnt to embrace it.

 “Your fucking tits are amazing,” Callum groaned as he stroked his hands down from her shoulders to cup her breasts. He squeezed them firmly in his hands before brushing the tips of his thumbs over her rosy, hardened peaks. Closing her eyes, Charlie bit down on her lower lip. “You like that?” he breathed as he continued to tease and knead her breasts.

Removing one hand from her chest, Callum firmly gripped the nape of Charlie’s neck and lowered his lips down to hers in one smooth movement. She closed her eyes and moaned softly as he sucked and nipped at her bottom lip.

The hot spray from the shower continuously pounded onto her skin, leaving her body feeling extremely sensitive. She gasped as a slight tremor ran the length of her body, which Callum used to slip his tongue inside of her mouth.

Meeting his tongue stroke for stroke, Charlie found her hands tracing across the well defined muscles of Callum’s stomach. Her fingertips dipped into each ridged groove before her hand found the small trail of hair that headed south. Brushing her fingers gently over the line of light and fluffy hair from his navel, she slowly crept further down until she reached his warm and pulsing shaft.

Little did he know Michael’s friend from college, Jane, was going to show up at their table and turn his world upside down.

Excerpt:
“What the hell are you doing here?” Jane shouted. “I gave you a key for emergency reasons only!”
“Girl, this is an emergency, have you seen your eyebrows? They’ve become one!” Molly said. “I have come to rescue you from your January 23rd self-destruction. I will not sit back again and listen to Mr. Mendez bitch about how he had to poke you for 5 minutes so you would get out of the stairway. It is time you get out of this rut you are in.”
“What rut? I’m doing fine for myself, thank you very much. JB Events is really starting to take off!”
“Yea, great your business is doing well, wonderful! What about your sex life? Or how about a social life?” Molly retorted. “If I go in your bedroom right now I bet I will find a couple of vibrators with worn out batteries.”
“MOLLY! Jeeze, is there a censor on that mouth of yours? So I haven’t had any men lately, I have been focused on work.”

Author Bio:

When I was in high school I occasionally read books but was consumed by other teenage things so I didn't take the time to appreciate a good book on a cloudy day, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch.

It wasn't until I received a Kindle for Christmas one year that my world completely flipped upside down. When looking for books, I came across the Contemporary Romance genre and was sold and I haven't turned back since.

You can either find my head buried in my Kindle, listening to inspiring heart ripping music or typing away on the computer twisting and turning the lives of my characters while driving my readers crazy with anticipation.

I am currently residing in beautiful Colorado Springs where the sun is always shining and there is a trail waiting to be hiked on every corner. I share a lovely and warm home with the love of my life and my five, four-legged children.

Blog Tour + Review/Giveaway: Hey There Delilah (A Taboo Love Series #1) by M.D. Saperstein & Andria Large




Hey There, Delilah… By Andria Large and M.D. Saperstein       

Synopsis:
Hi, my name is Delilah Sampson, and I am a self-proclaimed “frump girl.” My world came crashing down the day I walked in
on my boyfriend having sex with my boss, rendering me single and jobless. A new job fell into my lap as the secretary of the gorgeous, rich, powerful, and mighty cocky controlling partner at the Santino Law Firm. I spend my days trying to please a demanding boss, keeping my lustful thoughts to myself. Until one night, when my best friend drags me to a club, and I fall for a man whose true identity I will never know.

See, at Club Masquerade, everyone wears a mask and a name tag with a fake name. Also, on your nametag is a number that you are
assigned when you come into the club, which is linked to an in-house messaging system; no one is permitted to speak, which ensures that identities are kept secret. I meet my lover every Saturday at 9:00 pm sharp. We text and email constantly when we are not together, and I have somehow fallen in love with him.

But, then there is Nick Santino. He is the partner that I can’t keep my eyes off. Unfortunately, the only reason he hired me is because he is not attracted to me and all of my frump glory. Fortunately, for me, I am a kick ass secretary, so he keeps me around. Like many men in his position, Nick is used to getting what he wants, when he wants it; all without commitment, of course.

So when he finds a woman that he is both physically and emotionally attracted to, he finds himself in uncharted territory – love. And I can do nothing but be jealous from the sidelines – lusting for a man I can’t have, and loving a man I can’t know.

Hey there, Delilah is book 1 of a Taboo Love
series, in which we tackle the boss/secretary relationship. Each book will be a stand-alone with a HEA, but will have a few reoccurring characters.

Our Review
4 Stars

Delilah is a smart woman with a degree and a boyfriend she loves. She finds herself at job where she hates her boss but has to work in order to have the life she wants with her love. Never did she think walking in to her bitch boss's office oneThursday after lunch would change her world forever.

Heartbroken and with an already fragile self esteem Delilah finds herself interviewing for a job a friend of her mother's thought she would be great at surrounded by blonde bombshells. When it is her turn to be interviewed she meets who will soon be her new boss Nick.

Nick is successful, driven, sexy and a complete control freak. He finds himself having to interview women to replace the secretary he just lost because he couldn't keep his pants zipped up. He feels this won't be a problem with Delilah sure she seems like she has a pretty face but, like the rest of her hidden behind her too large clothing, its hidden behind outdated glasses. He makes the decision to hire her immediately.

We get to see the dynamic between these two as Delilah finds herself attracted to her boss but feels she's too "fumpy" and that he could never want her. Nick finds that he rather enjoys spending time with Delilah at work she's unlike any woman he's met and something about her just draws him in but he refuses to cross that line and risk losing the best Secretary he's ever had.

We get to see the effortless relationship between Nick and Delilah develop as well as the struggle they both have in dealing with it. We also get to see the dynamic they have with other people as they continue their struggle with their emotions Nick with his sexy Lala and Delilah with her delicious Nico.

Heartbreak, trust issues, love, lust, friendship and masquerade this book will keep you entertained with it's twists and will make your heart melt over and over again. A perfect book to cozy up under a blanket and read. Delilah has her own set of book boyfriends and her Nick definitely makes mine.





Excerpt 

I cup her face in my
hands and lean down, brushing my lips over hers. Just the simplest connection
and I have to stifle a moan. My heart starts pounding madly in my chest. Jesus
Christ, I'm barely touching her! She gasps softly and th
at's the end of it - I lose control. I thrust my tongue
into her mouth and kiss her like I've never kissed a woman before. The passion
and pure need are feelings that I've never encountered before. Her hands ball
up in my shirt and she kisses me back just as fervently. Oh god, I'm so hard it
is bordering on painful.

Interview

Are any of the situations or characters based on your life or events in
your life?

Andria: Definitely. I think every author pulls things from their
life and puts them into their characters. You almost have to, to make them
real.

MD: Oh, yeah!   There is
no way around it.  You have to write what
you know. Spend some time with Andria and me, and you will think you are
listening to Delilah and Charlie.

 Are there any sexual topics that you won't write about?

Andria &MD:  Bestiality,
incest, and sex with anyone under 18.

Those are definitely off the table.

 Have you read another author’s book and wondered why didn't I come
up with that?

Andria: All the time!

MD: For sure. We all have our own brand of crazy.

Andria: Ain’t that the truth!

 What are you reading right now? 

Andria: Nothing at the moment, been too
focused on writing. Once I start on a book, if it’s good and I can’t put it
down, then the writing doesn’t get done!

MD:  I read about a book
every other day or so, so any answer I give here will be out dated in 48 hours!
lol

What's your favorite material object that you already own?

Andria: My iPhone, I think I’d die without it, lol.

MD:  I have to go with
my iPad with more memory so I can buy more books. I just bought the new Air and
I am like a pig in shit.

 What is your favorite quote?

Andria: “A family is a family not because of gender but because
of values, like commitment, trust and love.”

MD:  “…Then in spite of
everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

If your life story was made into a movie a) what would the title be? b)
who would play you?

Andria: The title would probably be “The Movie about Nothing!”
and I’ve been told a couple times that I look like Kate Hudson? I don’t know, I
don’t really see it, but I’d like her to play me, she is so cute and I love her
comedic side.

MD:  “The 101 Things I
do Every Day!”  I am not sure who would
play me. Definitely someone sarcastic, quick-witted, with a sharp tongue.

 About the authors:

Andria Large Bio


Andria is married and a stay at home
mother with two crazy little girls and two psychotic cats. She doesn't go
anywhere without her precious iPhone and a purse full of animal crackers. She
used to be obsessed with the Backstreet Boys, but now is only mildly obsessed
(still goes to every concert when they are in town). She loves cartoons and
Disney movies, and can probably recite every line from Dumb and Dumber. Humor is
a must in her life; otherwise, it would be completely boring. Pepsi is her
weakness, along with anything chocolate. She can’t sing to save her life, but
she pretends she can when she is alone in her car with the music blasting so
that she can’t hear herself. And don’t mess with her family because she will
fuck you up. She loves to read Romance. Paranormal, Scottish, Military, Police,
Firefighters, Athletes, Cowboys and M/M are her favorite. She is not so much a
fan of YA, though. If you haven’t been able to tell from reading her books, she
likes - whether she is reading them or writing them - lots of hot steamy sex.
Andria loves her fans and is always willing to chat. She works hard on her
books, does not get offended easily, and has a pretty thick skin when it comes
to negativity toward her work. She welcomes constructive criticism because she
feels that is how one betters themselves, by taking that constructive criticism
and using it. Andria’s books are her art, they are pieces of her, and she can
only hope that people will like what she does. For those who don’t, she asks
that you be respectful of her art. You don’t have to like it, but you don’t
have to be mean about it either.




M.D. Saperstein Bio:


Hi! My name
is M.D. Saperstein. I am currently a stay at home mom with my two gorgeous
kids. I wasn't always a full time mom, though. After graduating from the
University of Florida - Go Gators! - I attended law school at Stetson
University. I spent the next 10 years practicing law. I also spent some time
counseling mental health patients in an out patient psychiatric hospital. But,
until having my own children, my most rewarding job by far was licensing
families to receive abused and neglected foster children.

So, that brings us to today. In my spare time, while my children were napping, I started
editing novels for other authors. The more I edited, the more ready I felt to
write my own. I just needed a new and exciting story line. Once Hey There,
Delilah was conceived, the ball starting rolling very quickly. I hooked up with
fellow author Andria Large, and we decided to tackle it together. Best decision ever!

I spend most of my free time with my husband and children. But when I get some
"me" time, I love to read. Mostly romance and erotica, but I don't
discriminate - a good book is a good book, no matter the genre.

Blog Tour + Review/Giveaway: Yearning Absolution by Rachael Orman

Synopsis:
Gwen has finally landed her first fashion design job, working under her amazing boyfriend, Cole. While her girlfriend, McKayla, is busy with her modeling job, things start to shift in their unique relationship.

Unexpected surprises cause a whirlwind of change to sweep through their once happy lives.

As the people around her change, so do their relationships… When all is said and done sometimes only heartbreak is left.

Just when Gwen thought life was good, she is thrust into one catastrophe after another.

Will Gwen’s life be able to withstand even more turmoil, tears and blood?


Can she fulfill the dreams she has held onto for so long, while accepting new dreams that she never knew she had? Or will everything come crashing down on her?



Our Review:
4 Stars

I really enjoyed this series! I recommend reading Yearning Devotion, which is the first book in this series, before reading Yearning Absolution. 

This book starts off right were Yearning Devotion ended. In order to protect Gwen, Cole asked for her and McKayla to move in with him. He is determined to protect her as best as he can. Even though they are living together Cole is adamant to keep his three date rule before they take their relationship any further. That doesn’t stop him from joining in the fun a few times.

Gwen is now working as a new designer, under Cole’s company, and due to their busy schedules they are hardly ever home. Gwen is not able to spend as much time with McKayla as before, leaving McKayla feeling left out. No matter how much Gwen tries to make her happy McKayla is still jealous of Cole, which eventually leads to their breakup.

Then Cole and Gwen get the best news a couple could hope for. It doesn’t fill the void that McKayla has left but it definitely helps make it better. Cole being the best boyfriend ever helps her get in touch with McKayla with the hope of reuniting their trio. But nothing goes as planned and it only leaves Gwen vulnerable to other threats.

As this story progressed it just got worst, hearts were broken and losses were inevitable. I most definitely love the ending. Compromises were made between the trio in order to obtain their happily ever after. Not that I can blame McKayla for her part, what a perfect sacrifice on her behalf.


This book is an emotional roller-coaster, as was the first book in this series. It kept me at the edge of my seat. Cole was a sweetheart since the first book and he only got better with time. He has reached Our Fictional Boyfriend status!

Meet The Author:

She lives in the extremely hot state of Arizona, where she reads and writes away the blistering heat outside. She is a cancer survivor with a quirky personality.
