COVER REVEAL - Waking Up In Leather by Shawnte Borris
Devastated
by the loss of her husband in the line of duty as a Chicago police officer,
Apryl McCalligan struggled to pull herself together and be strong for her two
children, Larissa and Ayden. Though intentions were good, moving on with life
within the tight-knit community became increasingly challenging when long-time
friends forever branded them as the
family he left behind.
With
the school year over and anxious for a new start, Apryl decides to leave
everything behind and start fresh somewhere far from the painful memories.
Devil's
Disciples Motorcycle Club VP, Slider
Tavern has felt something was lost or missing from his life for a while. Sure
his role in his father's club is fulfilling, but he's tired of the cliche's
that come with the club; namely, the same parade of women willing to do
anything he and his brothers wanted.
Something
stirs within him when he sees Apryl for the first time, and he's unwilling to
pass up the chance to fill the void in his life.
When
his association with her puts Apryl and her children's lives in danger, will
Slider be the cliche' he's always hated and refuse to let her go? Will he be
strong enough to walk away?
Or
will he be brave enough to stand up and fight for the one thing he's been
searching for his entire life?
Shawnté lives in central Alberta, with her husband Ricky of
10 amazing years and together they have two
beautiful children. Somehow her husband has managed to trick her into running a
cow/calf operation. As much as she fusses about it, she loves it.
When Shawnté is not sitting at her kitchen table
hammering away on her laptop while watching the moose chase her cows across the
yard, yes this really happens. Then she is busy attend school activities,
community events and chauffeuring children here and there. She is big on
playing softball and watching hockey.
When the time
comes to relax, you will find her snuggled underneath her down comforter
reading on her Ipad. Wait…who are we kidding, if the dishes, vacuuming, laundry
or the bathrooms needs a hose down, you’ll always hear her say, “Just after
this chapter.” She doesn’t have a favorite author or best story because
everyday she falls in love with someone new.
Shawnté is
technology challenged so with the help of Lacy you can find her anywhere. Please
go like her page and leave a review/star rating on the books she’s wrote.

Alyssa Rose Ivy's SEDUCTION'S KISS Release Day

Amazon ** Barnes and Noble ** iTunes ** GooglePlay ** Kobo
*Prequel novella to Lure (The Allure Chronicles #1)*
Never agree to a road trip to New Orleans with your roommate. At least not when your roommate is dragging you along while she reconnects with an ex-boyfriend. Possible consequences of failing to take my advice:
1) Unknowingly going out with a vampire stripper
2) Getting kidnapped by said vampire's nest mates
3) Falling head over heels for your winged hero
Believe it or not number 3 is the worst one, especially when no one believes you that he exists.
We wove our way through the crowds. I glanced into the rows of bars and clubs teeming with people dressed in various degrees of costumes. Despite my apprehension of hanging out with someone I barely knew, the excitement seemed to be rubbing off on me. I found myself moving along to the music spilling out of one club when we were momentarily stopped.
“Duncan!” A girl with long blond hair yelled and proceeded to wrap her arms around Duncan’s neck. She was dressed as a pumpkin, if a pumpkin was just a skimpy piece of orange fabric. “Come dancing with us.” She was visibly drunk.
“Oh, hi.” He gave me an apologetic look.
I shrugged. It wasn’t like we were on a date.
“Why aren’t you dressed up? It’s Halloween. You’re supposed to be dressed up.”
He shoved a hand into his back pocket. “How do you know that I’m not dressed up?”
“Laurie!” The girl yelled. “It’s Duncan, the stripper who did Debbie’s party last week.”
Wait. What? Did he strip? Wow, that was pretty surprising. He wasn’t bad looking, but I hadn’t met a male stripper before.
Another girl ran over. This one was appropriately attired. She had an awesome lollipop costume on. She also gave Duncan a hug, so I decided to people watch while I waited. That’s when I saw him. The gorgeous guy from the bar. All six plus feet of his perfectness. This time he was wearing one of those sleeveless white t-shirts that showed off his muscular arms. But it wasn’t his muscles that jumped out the most. It was his beautiful set of black wings. Now that was a costume.
He glanced up just as he passed, and my chest tightened. He looked at me with curiosity for a second before continuing on. Maybe he vaguely remembered my face but didn’t know why. I wasn’t sure what would be worse, if he remembered the humiliating moment, or if he didn’t.
I suddenly felt embarrassed of my cat costume. Were the whiskers too much?
“Daisy?” Duncan called my name and snapped me out of my daze. “Ready?” The girls must have walked off while I was distracted because Duncan was alone watching me. I wondered how obvious my ogling was.
“Yeah, sure.”
Duncan towed me along until he turned into a dark and completely unappealing dive. This was his favorite place? I kept my mouth shut. I didn’t want to offend him. Maybe this was one of those hidden gems you always hear about. Just to be safe I texted Reyna the name of the place as inconspicuously as possible, Grounddiggers.
“Who are you texting?” Duncan asked as we walked through the entrance.
Evidently I wasn’t as inconspicuous as I thought. “Just a friend.” I’m not sure why I didn’t just tell him who it was. I just felt like it was safer not to.
He nodded at a bouncer, who like Duncan was dressed all in black. The bouncer grunted something unintelligible to Duncan. Duncan must have taken the grunt to mean enter because he pulled me further inside.

Sidelinded by Emma Hart Cover Reveal
RELEASE DAY: MARCH 2, 2015
Three people. Three
motives. Three reasons.
When the game leaves the field in the second book in the USA
Today bestselling BY HIS GAME series and mixes with sex, lies, and betrayal,
the future isn't the only thing on the line...
Macey Kelly has sworn off men. Unless they’re going to zip
in and out of her apartment—and her vagina—quicker than they can give her an
orgasm, she’s not interested. Finding out her boyfriend of three years got her
cousin pregnant was a total confidence knock. Luckily for Macey, confidence is
something she has in abundance, so all Mitch’s asshole move
did was make her pretty cynical toward men.
The last thing Jack Carr needs at the start of the season is
for a dark-haired, sexy as sin, gyspyesque beauty to be consuming his thoughts.
Football is his life, which leaves no time for girls. Unless they’re the love
‘em and leave ‘em girls. Becoming one of the best running backs the league has
ever seen by racking up the yards is his top priority… not bedding Macey Kelly,
despite her affinity for blow jobs and total sexual abandon.
Avoiding each other is the perfect solution, but when your
best friends are in a serious living together kind of relationship, that isn’t
always an option. Sometimes, sex on tap is the easiest option. And the
sweetest.
Until Mitch shows up with a bombshell that could shatter
Macey’s perfectly carved out life. It’s been a year, but he isn’t giving her
up, not now he has a chance at winning her back. And he knows her buttons.
Every single one of them.
Unfortunately for him, Jack Carr isn’t a loser. The star
running back has his eye on the Vince Lombardi—and on Macey. But seeing her
hanging between them both isn’t something he’s down with, not when he discovers
why she’s so against anything more-ish, as she puts it.Macey quickly realizes
she’s the ball being passed between two desperate yet opposing teams, and that
only one of them can score the touchdown. But will the winner be the guy she
lived with and loved for three years, or will the winner be the guy who
understands her and makes her body come alive?
In this game, someone will be sidelined, and calling the
play isn’t always as easy as it seems.
(SIDELINED is a full-length, standalone novel. It's not
necessary to read BLINDSIDED before this book, but it is advised.)
“Put the drink down, M,” he whispers. “It’s fucking with you.”
“Really? I thought that was you fucking with me,” I respond, turning to him and pressing a hand
against his chest. “What the hell are you doing here?”
Like, right here. Literally.
“It’s my best friend’s birthday.” He smirks. “Why’ve you been staring at me all night like you wanna
suck and bite my cock simultaneously?”
“I assure you it was the latter.”
“Sure it was.” Jack steps into me again, and I grab my glass with the hand closest to him so I don’t
grab his ass or something, ‘cause, shit. He’s got a sweet as hell ass.
“It was.” I drink. Again. Where the hell are my girls? “I feel like dancing.” I finish the glass and twist
my body away from his.
His hand finally falls from me as I stalk toward and down the stairs. I slip into the moving crowd, but
I’ve barely moved my hips when two large, strong hands clasp me and tug me backward. The wall of
muscle my back slams into is solid, and I exhale on a whoosh, even as I close my fingers against the
ones clasping my hips.
“Nice try, baby,” Jack says into my ear. “Run if you want. I’m a running back. I’ll chase you and catchyou every fuckin’ time.”
“Sounds like a promise you can’t keep, doll,” I reply, my breath catching when he moves my hips
against his
“Sounds like a promise you’re afraid of.”
I laugh and shove his hands away from me. I turn to face him. Even in the darkness, his eyes blaze
bright green, so fucking bright they’re close to blinding me every time the strobe lighting coasts
across his face. And, shit, it does it so many times, and every time, it illuminates every line and curve
of his perfectly sculpted jaw.
“You wish, Jack Carr. You fucking wish.”
His hands snatch mine and he pulls me through the crowd. I fight his hold, but his grip is too tight.
My heart pounds as he drags me through the hall with certainty, and in two minutes, I find myself
pressed against his goddamn car in the parking lot.
“What the fuck?” I shout, shoving at him.
He grabs my hands once more and pins them over my head, effectively bending me backward on the
hood of his SUV. “What the fuck?” he replies, leaning into me, his voice low. “Is that hard or soft,
quick or slow, deep or shallow? ‘Cause baby, I can fuck you all six of those ways in one go.”
“None of them,” I snap. “What the fuck, as in, what the fuck, asshole?”
“Oh, that what the fuck.” He bends forward a little more. Until his mouth is against my ear and his
hard body is pressed right up against mine. “Maybe it’s the what the fuck I felt when I felt your eyes
on me all night. Maybe it’s the what the fuck I felt when you looked at me like you wanted to fuck
me one minute, then the next, slice my balls in two. Maybe it’s the what the fuck you’ve got in your
eyes while you let me lie my body over yours in a motherfucking parking lot seconds after I ask you
how you want to be fucked tonight.”
“I don’t want to be fucked,” I reply, doing my best to slam my hands into his hood. I fail—shit, he’s
so fucking strong I can’t even twist my hands in his grip.
“Baby, your body says otherwise.”
“My body is an impulsive fuckwit.”
“Your body knows me.”
“Again, my body is an impulsive fuckwit.”
“You never did say.” He breathes against my jaw and brushes his lips against my skin. “How do you
want to be fucked?”
He tilts his face into my neck and kisses. Oh, hell, he kisses my neck, right beneath my jaw, where mychin meets my neck, and I pause. I inhale sharply.
“Get in the goddamn car,” he orders, releasing me.
“Excuse me?” I push up and stare at him.
“Get in the goddamn car,” he repeats, pulling open his door and staring me. “Or have I gotta throw
you into it?”
“I am not getting into your car!”
He slams his door shuts and rounds on me. I step backward, but he’s too quick, and he wraps an arm
around my waist. My body slams into his yet again as he opens the passenger side door of his SUV
and throws me into it.
“Get. In. The. Goddamn. Car.”
“This is kidnap!”
He slams my door, and I both see and hear him laughing as he walks to the driver’s side. “Sure it is,
baby. I’m startin’ the engine now, so you got ten seconds to get the hell out before I drive. One…
two…”
From Emma Hart, the New York Times bestselling author of the Game series, comes a brand new series where the game is realer, the tension is tighter, the sex is hotter, and the stakes are the highest of all…
Two people. Two agendas. Two games.
What happens when the out-there It-Boy of football meets the
secret It-Girl of fashion?
As the daughter of Hollywood’s sweetheart, Leah Veronica
can’t even buy a coffee without finding her face on a magazine stand, so it’s no
wonder she’s launching her first fashion line in secret. With it debuting at
New York Fashion Week in just under a month, extra time in the spotlight is the
last thing she needs.
The son of the best quarterback the league has ever seen,
filling legendary shoes as the L.A. Vipers’ quarterback was inevitable for
Corey Jackson. So was meeting Leah Veronica—the first girl to hand him his ass
without putting a hair out of place.
Getting the handsome, prickly blonde into his bed becomes
his number one goal. But getting the sexy, over-confident footballer the hell
away from her becomes Leah’s—at least until she realizes the best way to do
that is to give him what he wants.
If only it was that simple.
When Corey discovers who she is, and private photos of
Hollywood’s finest find their way online, everything they thought they knew is
thrown into disarray.
And when secrets are exposed and hearts are shattered, they
have to figure out if they’ve been blindsided by love or reality, and if it’s
worth running the extra yard to win the game they never meant to play.
By day, New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to two beautiful little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she fancies - usually wine - and writes books.
Emma is working on Top Secret projects she will share with her followers and fans at every available opportunity. Naturally, all Top Secret projects involve a dashingly hot guy who likes to forget to wear a shirt, a sprinkling (or several) of hold-onto-your-panties hot scenes, and a whole lotta love.
She likes to be busy - unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all the ideas come to life.
TUTTA COLPA DEL VENTO (e di un cowboy dagli occhi verdi) Di Viviana Giorgi
CASA EDITRICE: Emma Books
GENERE: commedia romantica contemporanea
USCITA: Dicembre 2013
Sì, ci si sono messi in due, il vento e un cowboy, a combinare questo pasticcio. Proprio un cowboy-cowboy, con tanto di cappello e cavallo di ordinanza, uno scassato pick-up rosso e un paio di occhi verdi come due laghi di montagna. Margherita (Maggie) lo incontra appena scende dall’aereo che l’ha portata negli States. Più che incontrarlo, per la verità, si scontra con lui, e nella involontaria colluttazione che segue gli fa pure un occhio nero. Colpa del cowboy, certo, ma anche del vento fortissimo che per lei è molto peggio di una maledizione.
La trentatreenne Maggie Donati scrive romance, è italiana e ha un piano. Un piano scellerato, se per questo. Infatti, nonostante lei sostenga di aver volato per quasi diecimila miglia per passare il Natale con sorella e nipotina, la vera (e segretissima) ragione del suo viaggio nel Wyoming è un’altra, e non di poco peso: vuole un figlio e qualcuno con cui farlo. Perché non un cowboy dagli occhi verdi, allora? Sotto le mille luci colorate di un Natale freddissimo, battuto da un vento incessante e imbiancato da neve e ghiaccio, riuscirà Maggie a portare a compimento la sua missione senza cadere nella trappola dell’amore? O forse vi rinuncerà e tornerà a casa, a Milano, a piangere sulla spalla dei suoi cari amici Nick e Nora Corsi? Già, proprio loro, gli eroi di Bang Bang. Tutta colpa di un gatto rosso che, nel frattempo, hanno messo su casa e famiglia.
Dopo l’Alaska di Un cuore nella bufera, Viviana Giorgi ci regala questo Natale un’altra commedia romantica ambientata negli USA, per la precisione a Hope, Wyoming, cittadina dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato: settecento anime in tutto, senza contare i cani, i cavalli e i lupi.

Ho capito che ‘Tutta colpa del vento’ non avrebbe deluso le mie aspettative sin dai ringraziamenti di rito, là dove l’autrice ha capovolto ogni aspettativa ringraziando Timothy Olyphant (il Raylan della serie tv Justified) di esistere.
Maggie si mostra sin dalle prime righe un personaggio apprezzabilmente inconsueto, lontano da ogni cliché del romance: una scrittrice risoluta e pratica, con il desiderio di un figlio da un uomo che faccia da donatore e che sparisca rapido come il commercialista dopo l’errore sulla dichiarazione dei redditi.
Nessun sogno di famiglia, nessun romanticismo, nessun amore. Solo un figlio.
Naturalmente, come ogni tòpos che si rispetti, nella foga di attuare il suo folle piano, la nostra protagonista, da Milano, vola nel luogo più possessivo, maschilista, romantico e difficile da pronunciare che esista: il Wyoming (un minuto di silenzio per la mia ricerca su Google del suddetto luogo).
Terra di ranch, dove gli uomini ordinano per le donne al ristorante (e può essere anche apprezzabile, se ci si trova in Uzbekistan), ballano gli slow delimitando il territorio manco fossero gatti al Colosseo e dove, udite udite, la tradizione impone di aspettare le donne fuori dalla toilette in segno di protezione. In fondo, ragazze, è risaputo. Si chiama ‘selvaggio West’ anche perché la toilette è un posto davvero poco raccomandabile.

In fondo, ragazze, è risaputo. Si chiama ‘selvaggio West’ anche perché la toilette è un posto davvero poco raccomandabile.
L’incontro tra Maggie e Mitch, cowboy che non si separa mai dal suo Stetson color tabacco, non delude affatto le aspettative. Il loro è un vero e proprio scontro che, in un girotondo di timori pregressi, fraintendimenti e incomprensioni, manderà in fumo le rispettive certezze.
“Qualche secolo fa quelle come te, le bruciavano.”
Mitch, da uomo che non deve chiedere mai, felice della sua vita da single e delle sue avventure senza futuro, resta involontariamente affascinato da questa ‘svitata’ dai capelli rossi.
Maggie, dal canto suo, vede lentamente il suo sogno di maternità senza amore infrangersi.
“Forse era meglio lasciare tutto. Dimenticarsi del suo folle piano e tornare alla vita di sempre. Scrivere degli amori degli altri, dei figli degli altri.”
Perché Maggie, in fondo, quella vita descritta nei suoi romanzi la desidera davvero. Quel che la trattiene è semplicemente il timore più antico e improduttivo del mondo: quello di soffrire.
Maggie e Mitch devono anche fare i conti con un involontario antagonista maschile: Craig Haas, scrittore di successo ormai trasferitosi in città con vecchi conti in sospeso con il cowboy. Maggie vedrà in lui, inizialmente, il perfetto candidato a padre senza legami futuri. Intorno, una serie di personaggi perfettamente caratterizzati come Edda di Edda’s, tipico luogo di ritrovo di Hope.
“Lui non è l’uomo per te. E’ uno che pensa solo a se stesso. Non è cattivo, ma è inaffidabile. E lasciatelo dire da una che ci è passata: un tipo così può fare molto male a una donna.”
Donne: sia messo subito agli atti. Ogni ragazza ha diritto ad una Edda nella sua vita. Una che, con voce alla Dolly Parton e capello cotonato, ci dica senza il minimo dubbio che quello non è l’uomo giusto per noi, con tanto di grafico a confermare la validità scientifica della suddetta tesi.
Quel che più apprezzo di Viviana Giorgi, autrice che ho imparato a conoscere con ‘Bang bang: tutta colpa di un gatto rosso’ (su Nick e Nora, protagonisti di questo primo romanzo contemporaneo, c’è un accenno anche qui), è il fatto che conosce perfettamente i tempi della commedia.
Viviana è padrona dei dialoghi -il suo punto di forza- grazie ai quali riesce a tratteggiare vere e proprie figure cinematografiche. In ‘Tutta colpa di un cowboy’ l’uso della terza persona è una scelta precisa e ragionata. La Giorgi è una delle poche autrici italiane che, grazie a una forma di ironia tipica delle commedie americane, riesce a condurre il lettore all’interno del romanzo legandolo alla storia grazie alla verosimiglianza e a continui riferimenti cinematografici e musicali.
Così tanto da riuscire a sentire Make you feel my love di Bob Dylan tra le righe.
Viviana Giorgi (aka Georgette Grig, lo pseudonimo con cui scrive romanzi storici) vive a Milano, dove lavora come giornalista free lance da molti anni, soprattutto nel campo dello spettacolo. Da qualche anno si è imbattuta nel romance ed è stato amore a prima vista. Dalla lettura alla scrittura il passo è stato molto breve, forse troppo. Bang Bang, Tutta colpa di un gatto rosso è il suo primo romanzo contemporaneo, dove si parla molto di romance e si vive come in un romance, ma in chiave decisamente ironica. A questo sono seguiti, tutti editi da Emma Books: Un cuore nella bufera, un romanticissimo racconto natalizio all’insegna dell’amore, ma anche della passione, Alta marea a Cape Love, ambientato tra le scogliere e i fari del Maine, Un amore di fine secolo e, appena pubblicato, Un amore di inizio secolo. La traversata.
Per Emma Books ha inoltre pubblicato il racconto Prime Impressioni che apre l'antologia dedicata al bicentenario di "Orgoglio e Pregiudizio", Amore, Orgoglio e Pregiudizio.
