For Authentication Purposes

SUMMARY

FAP-3D-Paperback-eReader

Dawn Sims has made a name for herself writing romantic fiction online. When she's pushed to try her hand at publishing, she thinks she has everything figured out. The only problem? She's never been in a relationship, especially one that has led her to finding The Big O.

So much for writing what you know.

Warner Green has had Dawn in his sights since she walked into his class in seventh grade. She broke his teenage heart not once, but twice, so seeing her in his night class at the local community college was an unexpected surprise.

Accidentally reading her bad erotica on her laptop was a blessing from the Smut Gods themselves.

It's clear she has no idea what she's writing about, but Warner does. In fact, he knows so much that he's willing to offer her his services. The deal is simple: teach the good girl from high school everything she needs to know to write from experience. If he gets to live out a fantasy or two that he's been harboring for almost a decade, then there's no harm in that either.

The lessons turn more heated, and Dawn begins to question where Warner has learned his skills, but he's not ready to talk, until his past comes back to haunt him at the worst possible time.

It shouldn't matter when it's for authentication purposes only.

FAP-3D-Paperback-1EXCERPT
I reached across the table and ran my index finger across the soft skin of her wrist. “Let me feel you up a little like a sophomore who just got his license.”
I loved it when she laughed because it wasn’t anything fake. Her entire body shook when she giggled, and when it was really funny there was no sound. Right now she was probably calling all the dogs in the alley.

“Yeah, okay. We can do that.” She smoothed out her hair when she’s collected herself, and I realized that I hadn’t noticed it before, but she didn’t wear ponytails anymore. It made me want to tug on the ends, fist it at the back of her neck.

Blogger League


Si continua con il calendario delle interviste dei blog appartenenti alla Blogger League, oggi è il turno del Il Blog della Tany
E'  con orgoglio che vi presento la grandissima e simpaticissima Tany! Ecco come ha risposto alle domande dell'intervista:


  • Oltre ad essere una blogger chi sei nella vita di tutti i giorni?


Come dice spesso una mia amica (non la nomino invano :P) faccio la scassapelotas (alias rompip***e) a tempo pieno. Ma in modo più gentile, io mi definisco una sognatrice, sempre con la testa fra le nuvole, amante dei libri, otaku (appassionata di anime e manga giapponesi) e una ragazza semplice a cui piacciono i lavori manuali e creare storie.

  • Come mai hai deciso di ritagliarti il tuo angolo virtuale? Parlaci del tuo rifugio, quali sono gli argomenti che tratti?

Sinceramente non mi ricordo ciò che mi ha spinto ad aprire la mia baracca virtuale. Adesso è come il mio armadio. Contiene molti miei interessi ma soprattutto la lettura e la scrittura. Lascio idee regalo, consigli sui prossimi anime o manga da vedere, ecc… Vorrei dedicar più tempo al mio blog ma purtroppo ho anche gli impegni nella vita reale che non posso evitare.

    • Perché le persone dovrebbero diventare tuoi lettori fissi?
    Perché diventerò padrona del mondo un giorno quindi diventate miei seguaci o morirete muahahahah XD scherzi a parte, so che ci sono blog molto più informati di me su vari argomenti ma penso che una può diventare mia follower vedendo che abbiamo interessi comuni e che possiamo scambiarci opinioni liberamente. Più che lettore fisso, vorrei che diventassero miei amici. Anche se non abbiamo opinioni uguali, è bello discuterne e magari cambiare giudizio su alcune cose o informarci insieme su cose a noi importanti.
    • Quali sono i tuoi sogni nel cassetto?
    Aprire un bar o una pasticceria tutta mia all’estero U.U Amo la cucina in generale ma in particolare i dolci. Prima dovrò fare esperienza, guadagnare abbastanza per far nascere la mia attività e poi decidere in quale parte del mondo. Un altro mio sogno è viaggiare ma no tengo dinero per fare tutti i viaggi che vorrei. Quindi prima il lavoro poi si penserà ai viaggi.
    • Vuoi fare un augurio speciale agli altri membri della League? 
    Ma certo! Che quest’anno sia ricco di belle sorprese e che riusciate ad esaudire i vostri desideri più importanti. E ricordate… AngelTany for President! <3 bacioni="" buona="" e="" font="" fortuna="" per="" tutto="">


    TAG - Shari Ryan

    Today we have a book blast for Shari Ryan’s Tag!!! And to celebrate the sale she’s running, Shari is sharing an exclusive excerpt and a fantastic giveaway.


    Tag sales banner

    Tag_(Final_ebook)


    What if your family had a big secret . . . a life changing secret. My dad, the bigwig CIA agent, was always on the run, whether he was being chased or doing the chasing. I missed him. Then my mom passed away, and my sister was murdered. I turned my solitude to strength because the alternative was too bleak.

    But my luck seemed to turn: I met Tango. And while I want him more than I’ve ever wanted anything in my twenty-two years, danger lurks around every corner and I simply can’t take the chance of it finding me. But his tattoos, his smell, his darkness, and his body— that marine has taken over my every thought. But, what if he too isn’t what I think? A ticking time bomb isn’t going to leave me much time to waver. Even the bravest person can be in need of a miracle.

    Before she was gone, my mom warned me to know everyone and trust no one. But what was I supposed to do when I found out I am the one not to be trusted? Turns out, I was always the bait in this conspiracy.

    In author Shari J. Ryan’s gripping novel, TAG, the canyons hold secrets, the waterfalls provide safety, and romance has a pesky way of showing up when you are sweaty and dirty and least expect it.





    I've been seated among the dozens of other passengers for the past two hours, watching the gate times change a number of times before I see the plane actually arrive. Just as I'm powering my phone down, preparing to board, an awful stench burns my nose from a few inches away. A middle-aged man with greasy black hair and a thick lip-covering mustache who smells exactly like the inside of a port-a-potty has found a reason to sit directly beside me in a row of empty seats. When my eyes unfortunately meet his, he takes the opportunity to speak to me. "Heading to Boston?" he asks. I raise my eyebrows and force a tightlipped smile. I simply follow that with a nod and give him a no shit look. "I heard winter's coming early this year," he continues.

    "Cool," I mumble with a sigh. I pull a magazine out of my bag and open it in front of my face, hoping to block my vision of the man's blackened-stained grin. But it's only seconds before I'm taken back when his finger sweeps down the bare skin of my collarbone.

    "What does that mean?" he asks, pointing to my tattoo.

    With a smooth motion, I lay my magazine down onto my lap and place my hand over his, giving him the false notion that I'm a gentle person. I take the opportunity to offer him a slight smile before I twist his forefinger backwards as far as it will go before the expectant snap. "I'm sorry," I say sweetly. "Did I tell you it was okay to touch me?" I pull down a little harder, and he smiles in response to the pain. But as I hold my hand there, I see the smile begin to fade.

    "It's a free country, chicky," he sputters as his tongue knocks around between his bare gums.

    "Why would you think it's okay to touch me?" I ask again, keeping my voice calm, yet stern. He licks his lips and looks me up and down, responding with only a look. "Do you go around touching girls half your age because you feel it's okay?"

    He clears his throat and looks around to see who's watching or listening, but I don't move my eyes from his. "Why not?" he says, shrugging his bony shoulders. "Besides, you're definitely asking for it."

    He thinks I'm asking for it? I'm wearing a fucking scoop neck, black long sleeve shirt, jeans, and combat boots. "The only reason it's okay, is because no one has ever probably told you no. But it occurs to me that after I snap your finger off your hand, you won't be able to touch people inappropriately anymore, will you?"

    He hoots with laughter, dragging in attention he probably shouldn't want. "You think you could break my finger, little chicklette?"

    I pull his finger a little further, and his smile grows. "Ow, stop. You're hurting me," he puckers his lips and winks at me.

    "Oh, look, it's your right hand. You a righty?" I turn his hand over and see deep callouses bubbling on his palm. "Yes, you are. So, if I rip this thing off, you wouldn't miss it, right?" I turn his hand back over and glare into his beady eyes. He's questioning my words. He's unsure of my capabilities. And that's fine. "Sound okay to you? Or are you going to leave and stop touching people?" His smile fades and his eyes widen. I release his hand and offer him a smart-ass smile. "Oh, and the tattoo means death. It's a Maori Warrior symbol. They used to eat their enemies once they slaughtered them. Cool, huh?"

    I see his Adam's apple struggle to move. He lifts his bag from the ground and nearly trips over his own feet, darting away.

    I reopen my magazine to the page I was reading and refocus my attention on an article as I hear a soft chuckle coming from the other side of me. I turn to see who was enjoying the free entertainment and I'm faced with a man who looks to be either a wrestler or in the military--black shaven hair, stiff jaw and bulging muscles on every inch of his arms. His eyes are currently focused on a book, and I suppose he could have been laughing at that, rather than me. But as I question it, his large shamrock green eyes lift and look right at me. A slight grin tugs on the corner of his lips, and he winks so quickly I'm questioning whether it was me who might have blinked. Before I can react, he stands up and walks away.

    I swallow hard and refocus my attention on the magazine once more. Stupid attractive man causing a moment of feebleness. I didn't react, though. He winked at me. I think. And I didn't make a snide comment or scowl. Weakness.

    I let out a few short breaths, regaining my composure. He's gone. It's fine.

    Jax and Jake by Jennifer Foor Double Cover Reveal

    We are excited to bring you the DOUBLE COVER REVEAL for JAKE and JAX the next two books in the Mitchell-Healy Series, even more exciting news both books will be releasing on

    the SAME DAY!!!



    DOUBLE RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 11th














    Jake Mitchell has spent his whole life tied at the hip with
    his best friend and twin brother Jax. They’ve shared everything, except for
    women, which was easy since their tastes were so different.

    From the moment she walked into the room Jake knew she was
    special, with her flowing brown locks, supple body, and a smile that could
    brighten any day. An accident leaves her vulnerable and in the arms of his
    brother. From that moment she’s in awe of Jax.

    Jake tries his best to keep away from Reese Miller. He
    disrespects her and tells everyone how much she annoys him to make sure she
    stays at a distance.

    Reese can’t stand that Jake hates her. She’s determined to
    change his mind, not knowing he’s desperately trying to protect his
    relationship with his brother, and his family.

    When the two find themselves alone during a winter storm all
    bets are off, and what happens next could change everything, including the bond
    between two brothers.












    Jax Mitchell isn’t the only one with his handsome face,
    though he wishes that were different. Everything’s changed in a short amount of
    time, after his twin brother came between him and his girlfriend, Reese.

    With the hurt still lingering in every direction he turns,
    Jax picks up and moves to Kentucky to work on his uncle’s cattle ranch. It
    isn’t long until he meets someone that not only helps him get over Reese, but
    also encourages him to forgive his brother.

    Can the twins make amends or has the damage that’s been done
    too much to forget?

    Cover Reveal for Lauren Blakely’s FORBIDDEN NIGHTS

    It's here! The cover for Lauren Blakely's next title in her Seductive Nights Series, FORBIDDEN NIGHTS, is here and it's a beauty! We are thrilled to get to share it with you today. But first, we want to share just a little bit about Lauren Blakely and a taste of FORBIDDEN NIGHTS with you.

    Lauren Blakely is well known for writing sexy, heartfelt and humorous contemporary romance as well as deeply emotional new adult stories -- one commonality in all her books is the scorching hot sexy times. And this book is absolutely no different! Nate Harper and Casey Sullivan have some thrilling moments together.

    And… we have a surprise for you!

    FORBIDDEN NIGHTS will release on February 17th!

    That’s a full month earlier than originally planned! So you will get to experience Nate and Casey and all of their sexy and heartfelt moments together even sooner! Still dying to get your hands on this smoking couple? Here's a little taste for you from Lauren Blakely:


    “Just relax and let me lead,” he said, whispering in her ear, a waft of her citrus scent drifting by his nostrils. She shivered briefly against him, and that nearly did him in. He stayed strong, swaying gently, guiding her in slow, sensuous moves. “I’ll show you how to let go, but you have to trust me. And that’s where it starts. I can show you how good it will feel when you give up control.”

    She breathed in sharply, like she was acclimating to new air on a distant planet. “Why do men like a woman to give up a control? What is it about the lack of control that men like so much?”

    “It’s not that they like a lack of control. They want a woman who wants to give herself to him. He wants a woman to melt into his arms, to get aroused from a kiss on the back of her neck,” he said, and traced a fingertip gently under her hair, watching her reaction as she drew in a breath. “It’s the hand on her arm,” he said, now trailing his fingers down her bare skin to her elbow as he leaned in to whisper. “Or warm breath near her ear.” She gasped, and he kept going. “He wants a woman who’s so turned on, she’ll nearly beg for it. He wants her abandon. He wants to be the only one to make her feel that way.”

    She parted her lips to speak, but he shushed her with his fingertip against her lips. God, he was so tempted to let her suck on his finger right now, to watch her simulate a blow job, to let her show him what she could do. But that would come later. He needed to kiss her first.

    That is, after he teased her...

    Are you as excited as we are about this book?!

    And now, here's the fabulous cover for FORBIDDEN NIGHTS!

    FORBIDDEN NIGHTS by Lauren Blakely for cover reveal
    Cover created by Sarah Hansen of Okay Creations



    A smoldering and sensual standalone romance novel in the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Seductive Nights Series by Lauren Blakely...

    Sinfully sexy hotel CEO Nate Harper knows exactly how to please a woman. He’s equally skilled in keeping his heart safe from the kind of hurt his ex inflicted on him years ago. But one thing he’s not so good at what-so-ever is getting his mind and all his dirty thoughts off the gorgeous, outgoing, and absolutely captivating Casey Sullivan, the new head of the Joy Delivered company.

    They’ve been friends for years now, and Casey trusts Nate completely. So it makes perfect sense to her to ask him for hands-on guidance when she finds herself in need of some of his romantic expertise.

    The trouble is, his heart may be signing up for more than it bargained for when he agrees to help her learn to abandon her need for control in the bedroom. Because as she experiences what it means to let go, he’ll start to experience what it means to feel again…

    But what happens when all those forbidden nights turn into a deeper connection that’s much more than either bargained for?



    *FORBIDDEN NIGHTS is a standalone full-length novel in the bestselling SEDUCTIVE NIGHTS series following the love affair of Nate and Casey. You can read it on its own, but you would likely enjoy the other books too.*
