My One Night by Carrie Ann Ryan @CarrieAnnRyan @givemebookspr

Title: My One Night
Series: On My Own #1

Author: Carrie Ann Ryan

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 13, 2021

BLURB

A one-night stand is supposed to end once the sun rises. Only it doesn’t always work out that way.

I never expected this.

I didn’t want to go to another fraternity party, but when my friend pulls me in, I somehow find myself hiding in a corner with…him.

Dillon Connolly.

The smirking, so-called good guy with the shadows in his eyes.

A single glance, a sweet smile, and I let myself have one night of giving in.

I never expected her.

Elise Hoover haunts my dreams more than I care to admit. I never thought I stood a chance—until she said yes.

When a single night turns to two, I know I’m in over my head, but somehow, she makes me believe I can have anything.

Until the sun rises, and my past along with it.

I know I don’t deserve her, but now I have to fight to keep her…or save her from myself.

Not Pretending Anymore by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland @ViKeeland @PenelopeAuthor @givemebookspr

 

Title: Not Pretending Anymore

Authors: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 12, 2021

BLURB

Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds.

I was starting to lose hope.

Until a knock at my door came and God answered my prayers.

Except…uh…wrong prayer, God.

I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion...just not as my roommate.

Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway.

While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined.

Then cupcakes showed up at my door—freshly baked by Declan and just as sinfully delicious as he was.

You could say he was persistent.

I eventually folded. It wasn’t like I had another viable candidate anyway.

Plus, I was interested in someone else. And Declan was into another woman. So it wasn’t like anything would happen romantically.

After he moved in, the two of us became the best of friends. We even started to give each other advice on getting our crushes to notice us.

Eventually, Declan concocted an idea: we should pretend to be a couple to make our love interests jealous.

I was hesitant, but went along with it anyway. To my utter shock, his crazy plan worked.

Now I was dating the supposed man of my dreams, and my best friend had the woman of his.

But there was one problem.

I couldn’t stop thinking about Declan.

Those feelings we were trying to fake?

Yeah…I wasn’t pretending anymore.

Title: Inherited Malice

Series: Breaking Belles #4

Authors: Stasia Black & Alta Hensley

Genre: Dark Contemporary Romance

Release Date: April 12, 2021

BLURB

I’m a con artist, and I’ve got my sights set on Beau Radcliffe. He’s dominant, arrogant, and always thinks he’s the smartest person in the room.

But he made the mistake of getting way too drunk one night and telling me all about the twisted ways of the dark, mysterious secret society he was about to be initiated into.

So, I steal an invite and show up as a belle.

And just like that night in the bar several months ago, Beau picks me out of the line-up to be his partner in debauchery for the next three months. I’ll get everything I ever dreamed of if I can just stick it out with him.

Beau thinks he’s in charge, making the rules of this game as we go, but he has no idea.

This is going to be fun…

STASIA BLACK

STASIA BLACK grew up in Texas, recently spent a freezing five-year stint in Minnesota, and now is happily planted in sunny California, which she will never, ever leave.

She loves writing, reading, listening to podcasts, and has recently taken up biking after a twenty-year sabbatical (and has the bumps and bruises to prove it). She lives with her own personal cheerleader, aka, her handsome husband, and their teenage son. Wow. Typing that makes her feel old. And writing about herself in the third person makes her feel a little like a nutjob, but ahem! Where were we?

Stasia’s drawn to romantic stories that don’t take the easy way out. She wants to see beneath people’s veneer and poke into their dark places, their twisted motives, and their deepest desires. Basically, she wants to create characters that make readers alternately laugh, cry ugly tears, want to toss their kindles across the room, and then declare they have a new FBB (forever book boyfriend).

Georgia, to live with my Gamma for senior year. I’d moved to give myself the chance to fall in love with a life that I’d missed out on for far too long.⠀⠀⠀

I’d expected to find hope, ⠀⠀⠀

I’d hoped to find freedom, ⠀⠀⠀

but I’d never expected him.⠀⠀⠀

I was too damaged to recognize the beginning.⠀⠀⠀

But all it took was a moment, and he was positive he’d invade every one of mine. ⠀⠀⠀

If I pushed, he pulled. If I ran, he followed.⠀⠀⠀

I was his fate.⠀⠀⠀

Meekai was my north star.⠀⠀⠀

I was what he chose to remember.⠀⠀⠀

He was a goodbye my soul refused to forget.⠀⠀⠀

EXCERPT

He drew back and took a fake bullet to the heart before his features sobered and lingered back towards me, all humor gone. ⠀

“What would happen if you kissed me?” he questioned with genuine curiosity. ⠀

“Things would get complicated, that's what.” ⠀

I wasn’t lying, they would, but I was ready for the complication. Hell, I tried to complicate things twenty-four hours ago, but he refused me like a gentleman. The sting of his refusal wounded me, even though I agreed with the reasoning behind it. ⠀

“Complicated doesn't mean wrong, it just has its challenges,” he argued. ⠀

“It’ll get weird, and I'm not up for weird.” ⠀

He leaned forward, back on all fours, edging closer. Too close. I stopped breathing. I couldn't move. The banter had suddenly teetered off, I could feel the shift as it turned the room upside down, my heart inside out.⠀

“Well, I want to kiss you,” he pushed. ⠀

The hairs on my arms flared and stood to attention as his energy invaded my own. “I want the awkward bits. I want the we can't leave one another alone bits. I want to know what you taste like. I want to know what you sound like when you moan your complications into my mouth. I want to get really weird with you.” He kissed the tip of my nose, asking one more time. “Pretty please, Violet. Let’s get really weird and a whole lot complicated.”

AUTHOR BIO

Annie Emerson is an Australian author who started writing poetry at the age of fourteen. Poetry turned into lyrics, lyrics turned into music, and music crossed over into novels. The words became too big to contain, and she finally gave into her biggest dream to become a professional writer.

Thirteen Hours To You is Annie’s debut novel and book one in the ‘Sometimes Goodbye is a Second Chance Duet.’

Annie writes with a poetic lilt, and loves to create characters that are relatable, perfectly imperfect, and a little bit lost. She only believes in writing happily ever afters, because real life doesn’t write enough of its own. But that doesn’t mean it won’t be less than a whole lot bumpy as the characters she writes find their way.

Rush by Brianna Hale @_brianna_hale_ @givemebookspr

Title: Rush: A Rockstar Daddy Romance

Author: Brianna Hale

Genre: Steamy Contemporary Romance

Cover Design: Untold Designs

Release Date: April 21, 2021

BLURB

Rush Osman probably watches himself in the mirror while he screws and kisses his biceps good morning. An arrogant, domineering, over-dressed rock star. The sort of man I’ve had my fill of for a hundred lifetimes.

And yet.

Rush has an energy about him that pulls me in. Captivating energy. Dark, magnetic energy. Big Daddy energy.

I feel it crackling between us every time I’m close to him. Now, my only choice is to get far, far away from him, or be pulled into a world that I swore I’d never set foot in again. A world that thrashed me, body and soul.

A world that Rush promises to protect me from, if only I surrender myself to him.

I’ve only ever trusted myself, but Rush is battering against my defenses. He pushes me to the brink and then holds me there until I shatter. His punishment is a rush. Falling for him is a rush. Loving him is a rush.

But being destroyed by him is the biggest rush of all.

Amazon You DO NOT own your Kindle contents

Did you know that Amazon can deregister and delete your Kindle books, documents and all #Kindle contents ?  

You do not own the contents or books that you purchased. I am in shock! All of this is in fine print on your agreement. After buying three Kindles you would think I would know. I have more than 3000 books, assorted magazines and newspaper subscriptions.  Some sort of fraud on my account I have no idea but now they closed my #Kindle #Alexa #AmazonMusic and my #Prime 

THIS is so awful 

Check out this from Chicago Tribune

This from Nick Lekuona HERE Pretty interesting question.

99% of the eBooks you purchase are not actually “yours” in the sense we associate with physical goods. What you purchase is a license to keep and access the file containing the book and, through it, gain knowledge of the content, the story so to say, for an undetermined duration, that meaning “while you meet the terms and conditions of the seller AND the owner of the intellectual property”.

Most of the time this means that you’ll be able to read your eBook for years to come, as many times as you wish. Convenient and affordable, yes?

However, things can happen, and have in fact happened in the recent past.

WHY rent a movie when you can "own" right? NO not on Amazon Seeking legal action NOW

The Balm and the Beautiful #Eyeshadow #Palette @thebalm @IPSY

 

Yesterday I got my The Balm order! When they have a flash sale or a promo you gotta get online ASAP or you will miss out. I have missed out before and it stinks!

Continue the tradition of cute packaging and graphics. The Balm and the Beautiful Episode 1 features another great set of must have shadows. They are named Cut, Chick Flick, Roll Credits, Autograph, Green Screen and Roll Credits. That is such a grand way to showcase these beauties. Whoever they have designing and naming is brilliant. 

The other part of the scene displayed reads "Size matters, so reduce your carbon footprint". So cool. This is easily a daily use. Some matte and some metallic, each worthy of their own spotlight.  

Ipsy is a monthly subscription service that first introduced me to The Balm Cosmetics. The reason why I love Ipsy is that it is inexpensive, gives you choices and add on's each month. The best part is discovering new brands and tried and true favorites like Tarte.
