Promo & Review Tour ~ Rock King, Nothing But Trouble #1, by Tara Leigh


Today I am taking part in the promo tour for Rock King by Tara Leigh! Rock King is available now, and the second book in the Nothing but Trouble series, Rock Legend, is available for pre-order and will release on July 17! Check out some teasers for both titles below.


Blurb

Fans of Kristen Callihan and Kylie Scott will scream for this sizzling bad boy rock star romance!

I'm not who you think I am.

Shane Hawthorne has it all. At least, that's what the headlines say about me. I have millions of fans, awards, more money - and women - than I know what to do with. But what you don't see is the wreckage I've caused. The memories and pain I can't escape, even when I pour them into music and spin them into gold.

I tried to forget. To lose myself in booze and groupies. It didn't work. It hurt me and - worse - it hurt my band. That's the last thing I want to do, so I'm cleaning up my act... starting with Delaney Fraser.

Gorgeous, smart, drama-free, and even nice - Delaney is the perfect "girlfriend." When I'm with her I don't have to pretend. It's like she sees the real me. And I can see a future with her. But that's dangerous. Because the truth is, Shane Hawthorne doesn't actually exist. He's a shield to hide who I really am. Fraud. Runaway. Addict. Murderer.

And it's impossible to love a lie, right?

Review

Delaney Fraser is working hard to fulfill her promise to her father while also trying to find a way to get over her past. The last thing she wants or needs is someone like Shane Hawthorne turning her world upside down.

Shane Hawthorne isn't the man many think he is, but the past he's running from seems to always threaten to come knocking on his door. But one look into Delaney's eyes and his life in irrevocably changed.

Both have secrets that could destroy their lives and those around them, but as everyone knows, secrets have a way of coming out in the end.

Will they be able to stand together as the world learns of their deceit? Or will this be something neither can overcome?

Rock King is an exciting, intriguing, passionate read that will captive the reader from start to finish.

Delaney is stronger than she appears or feels. Her heart is what leads her and why she stands by Shane even when he tries to push her away. I love how she always wants to do the right thing even if it means her freedom is in jeopardy.

Shane had many vices in the past, but I admire his strength to stay on the right path. He's need to protect Delaney is endearing to say the least. I love that he's rough around the edges but has a big heart even if he doesn't show it all the time.

The passion between Delaney and Shane is off the charts hot. It's starts strong and only grows stronger the more they get to know each other.

I loved Rock King with it's entertaining storyline, flawed but charming hero, a marred but alluring heroine, and an intense passion that will overheat the reader and ereaders alike.

This is one thrilling read that I would highly recommend anyone looking for a book that will leave you with a rocking book hangover.

Release Blitz & Review ~ Tulsa, Crow Brothers #2, by S.L. Scott


Tulsa
Author: S.L. Scott
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 3, 2018


Blurb

From New York Times Bestselling Author, S.L. Scott, comes a hot new rock star romance that will sweep you off your feet and leave you with a smile.

The rumors are true. At least where I’m concerned.

Drummers hit it harder and do it better.

Women love me and I love them. But I like to think of myself as a sensitive soul trapped in a lady-killer’s body. Not so surprisingly, I’ve been called cocky a time or two. What can I say? We can’t all be boy scouts.

Nikki Faris has thrown off my rhythm. With her red lips, smart aleck mouth, short skirts, long legs, and blue-sky eyes, the beautiful lead singer has become a complete distraction on this tour.

She loves to give me a hard time when all I want to do is give her the pleasure of my hard—time right back.

Tulsa Crow can save his pick up lines, great eight-pack abs, and cute dimples to use on someone else. My band earned their spot on The Resistance’s tour just like The Crow Brothers. I’m not going to blow it getting sidetracked by a cocky rock star that wants to sleep his way through the states. I’ve been called a name or two, but easy isn’t one of them.

But the best intentions with him turn into a walk of shame for me. Only, I don’t feel shame. Instead, I’m doing the very thing I said I wouldn’t—falling for a playboy.

We make sinful music when we’re on the road, but what happens to our melody when the tour ends?

Excerpt

Nikki Faris is amazing.

Not only is she gorgeous, she’s also smart and strong. She says what she thinks, not worried about sharing her opinions or anyone judging her for them. She can defend the craziest ideas and has theories on everything from what she thinks jackfruit tastes like to why the stars always shine on the darkest nights.

Nikki Faris is mesmerizing.

Her lips.

Her eyes.

The way her head tilts back when she laughs at her own jokes. She’s adorably funny. Even the way she rolls her eyes is growing on me.

Nikki Faris is the sexiest woman I’ve ever spent time with, and I haven’t even slept with her.

Yet.

Her denim skirt rides up really fucking high when she’s sitting. I don’t know whether I should cover her or encourage her to wiggle more. Every time she moves around on that barstool, my eyes dash between her blues and those bare legs. I’m so tempted to run my hand over the smooth skin of her thigh, but I resist because I’m just starting to earn her trust.

But then she leans over, resting her hand on my leg, the tips of her fingers dipping toward my cock, waking it up, and whispers, “I think you got me drunk, Crow.”

Chuckling, I reply, “You got yourself drunk, Faris.”

Suddenly, her free hand wanders into my hair. “Your hair is soft. No gel.” She drags the bridge of her nose along my neck, causing my dick to harden. “You smell so good. So manly. What cologne do you wear?”

“Soap and sweat, sweetheart.”

“Tulsa. Tulsa. Tulsa.” Leaning back to look me in the eyes, she confesses, “It shouldn’t, but that really turns me on.”

I laugh again and stop her hand from wandering higher on my leg. “You’re a horny drunk.”

“I am,” she replies, resting her head on my shoulder. “Have you ever heard the phrase sleeping with the enemy?”

“I have.” I touch her, not able to stop myself as I tuck those wild strands of hair behind her ear.

The bartender sets the tab down in front of me. Nikki reaches for it, but I grab it first. “My treat.”

“I have a feeling I’m going to be swearing your name in the morning.”

I do a double take. “You mean because of the alcohol, right?” While waiting for her to answer a question I already know the answer to, images of her swearing my name for other reasons cross my mind.

She doesn’t answer, which is probably best.


Review

Nikki Faris had a good childhood, but somewhere along the line, she takes a turn that wasn't easy. Through time and with the love of her family, she's made a turn around and getting to do something she loves. So when Tulsa captures her eye, will she let him in or push him away?

Tulsa Crow has always been the love 'em and leave 'em playboy, never one to think about settling down. But all that changes when he meets the beguiling Nikki. Can he reform his playboy ways and win the heart of the woman that owns his heart? Or will this be a fling that will fade away at the end of this tour?

Tulsa is captivating, heartwarming, entertaining read that will keep you glued to each page and falling in love with Tulsa and Nikki over and over again.

I already loved Tulsa after Spark but loved him even more after Tulsa. The man is more that good looks and a fine musician, he's smart, kind, generous, and loyal. He never takes promises lightly. And when it comes to Nikki, I love how much he loves her. There really isn't anything he wouldn't do for her. He may never had expected to settle down, but when he does it's with every fiber of his being.

Nikki is feisty, witty, talented, and very special. I admire how strong she is and her ability to overcome her past mistakes. She didn't want to fall for Tulsa, but once he gets under her skin, he's the only man for her. She loves him completely... the good, the bad, and the ugly.

And when these two do finally get together... hot damn does it hot in here. Tulsa has mouth on him and he knows how to use it. Nikki may not be as skilled in the dirty talk, she isn't shy about her desires.

The Crow Brothers are a special group of men that know what it takes to keep a family together through thick and thin. And when they love, the love hard and completely. Jet and Tulsa have fallen head over heels for their lady loves, and I can't wait to see what happens next with River.

I loved Tulsa and highly recommend it. It's has a compelling storyline, a swoon worthy hero, an enchanting heroine, and intense passion. So run and pick up Tulsa, then sit back and read about how hard this playboy falls for his vixen.

Book & Giveaway ~ Forbidden Song, Hearts of Metal #5, by Brooklyn Ann


Forbidden Song
by Brooklyn Ann
Genre: Romance


After having one of the worst experiences a young teenager could endure at the hands of cruel musicians, Christine Mayne's rock star brother Quinn tried to lock her away from the world. She had to fight to live her life, go to college, get her master's and enter her PhD program. Now, she's determined to complete her research on group dynamics by touring with Bleeding Vengeance, even it means deceiving her brother and lying to the band's fabulous lead singer, Cliff Tracey.

Cliff Tracey hates being manipulated, lied to and deceived. He'd know, having gone through a string of exes who had done just that. When he thinks he's found a kindred spirit, and a beautiful babe to boot, imagine his surprise - and disappointment - when he learns she played him so she can tour with his band to complete her PhD. When he finds out why, he knows he's in double trouble because Quinn Mayne will kill anyone who touches his sister, and Cliff Tracey has all sorts of plans for Christine Mayne that involves more than either of them ever expected.


Excerpt

Weaving his way through the backstage crowd, pausing to sign autographs along the way, he embarked on his search for the raven-haired beauty.

Luck shone upon him. There she was, off in a corner by the stage left exit. Alone.

She looked up at him and smiled with an intriguing combination of shyness and curiosity. Oh, man. Those green eyes.

He gathered his formidable charm and grinned as he approached. “Hey, are you the new girl Kat and Kin hired?”

She nodded with a slight frown and extended her hand. Fuck. He remembered Kat telling him to quit calling women girls.

“I’m Christine.”

“Cliff Tracey.” He gave her a long, slow smile, and was gratified to see her blush. Good, now he was back on the right track.

His fingers curled around hers. Damn, her skin was soft. No calluses, so she likely wasn’t a musician.

A light laugh tumbled from her lips. “I know. I really enjoyed your performance tonight. Your voice is incredible, and that solo during ‘Sorrow’s Harvest’ gave me chills. In fact, I’d wanted to talk to you.”

“Oh?” He kept his tone light and teasing to hide his excitement. She’d admired his performance. That was usually the first thing chicks said before the flirting began. Maybe he’d mistaken what he’d thought was lack of interest earlier. “About my solo?”

“No, though I’ll admit your talent does blow my mind.” She took a deep breath as if gathering her composure for some big announcement. “Aside from writing for Metalness, I’m working on my doctorate in occupational psychology and could use your help for my dissertation.”

Cliff blinked. “Oh. Uh…I only got as far as my associate’s, so I don’t know how much good I’d be. What’s the topic of your paper?”

“I’m studying the effects of group dynamics within metal bands under high stress conditions.” Her clinical tone was comical even as it was disappointing, what with her seeming lack of response to him.

“You want to study me?” he joked. In return, he could study her.

“The whole band, really,” she replied. “But I figured, since you’re the lead singer, I’d have to ask you. You see, my goal is to be able to travel on the road with a band and document my observations. I was hoping I could tag along, not only for the rest of this Metalfeed tour, but also your regular tour that starts next week.”

Cliff puffed up, happy that for once someone had acknowledged him as the leader of the band instead of Klement. Then: “Did you talk to Kat about it?” Since Christine worked for Kat, maybe the guitarist had suggested it.

Christine nodded. “She said she’d love to have me, but that she doesn’t have the seniority in the band to make that kind of call.”

Well, I’d love to have you, Cliff wanted to say, but he didn’t want to overplay his hand. “Let me think about it….”


I am pleased to welcome Brooklyn Ann to my little corner of cyberspace. Let's get started...

Do you have any unique or quirky writing habits?

I often write scenes out of order and have a hybrid between pantsing and plotting. I’ve tried to stick with one or the other, but the combination works best for me.

Describe what your ideal writing space looks like.

Oh, I have so many. I have my desk covered with horror movie memorabilia, a lap desk in bed surrounded by purring cats, and the lovely outdoor swinging bench under a bower of lilac trees where I write in the spring.

What's the strangest thing you have ever had to research online for your book?

Probably meth overdose. Of course, I didn’t only research online. I talked to ER nurses too. It was depressing stuff.

If you were deserted on an island, which three people would you want to have with you? Why?
One fictional character from your book: Klement from my Hearts of Metal series because he’s a sweetie.
One fictional character from any other book: Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series, because we could probably use a wizard with a sense of humor.
One famous person that is not a family member or friend: Stephen King, so we can talk about books.

Do you hide any secrets in your books that only a few people will find?

All the time. Aside from cameos and references to characters from my other book series, my books are littered with horror references too.

What writing advice do you have for other aspiring authors?

Keep writing, research the industry, and join writer groups that make you feel comfortable and where you are learning.

Speed Round:

Tea or coffee? Tea
Morning Person or Night Owl? Night owl
Cats or Dogs? Cats
Movies or TV? Movies
What ​came first, ​the chicken or​ the​ ​egg? Science determined that it was the egg. Two chicken-like birds would have mated to fertilize the egg that would hatch the first chicken.

Thank you Brooklyn, that was fun. It was a pleasure meeting you and congrats on the release of Forbidden Song.

This is such a true Rocker series you do not want to miss out on. ~ Amazon Reviewer

The only ending more perfect than this for the Black Lilith series would be to not end it at all! ~ Amazon Reviewer

Once I started reading there was no stopping. ~ Amazon Reviewer

Sigh, I love this series. Black Lilith forever! ~ Amazon Reviewer


Black Lilith
Book One

When Mikayla Strong graduated college, she expected to hit the ground running. Instead, she’s stuck getting coffee and spellchecking contracts for BassNote Productions. She won’t give up her dream of working in events management, but no matter how many hours she spends scrolling through job ads during her lunch breaks there just don’t seem to be any jobs anymore.

A chance meeting with the drummer of Black Lilith, a hot new band getting ready for its first international tour, sends Mikayla careening out of her comfort zone and into a world of sex, drugs, and rock n roll. She goes from overqualified barista to overqualified PA overnight, and even though the band’s lead singer, Logan Todd, pushes all of her buttons, Mikayla thinks she might just be able to make this new job work for her.

But Black Lilith isn’t as tightknit as they seem in interviews. As Mikayla gets to know the four band members better, a web of lies and heartbreak begins to show itself. Between fans with knives, fights in hotel corridors, and the band’s very strict ‘no dating PAs’ rule, Mikayla’s growing attraction to Logan Todd may be the least of her problems. At this rate, she’ll be lucky if she makes it to the end of the tour...




All or Nothing
Book Two

Sersha Walsh is a gifted lyricist. She learned her craft on her mam’s knee back in Galway, Ireland. After years as a successful freelancer she’s ready to take on her first big client—Black Lilith—the rock band making waves around the world. But the band’s bass player and current lyricist, Tommy, is less than thrilled to hear that the production company has hired Sersha. He’s moody and distant, but there’s a haunted look in his eyes that has Sersha dithering between wanting to kill him or kiss him.
Living out of a suitcase in the heart of Manhattan may sound romantic, but it’s the sort of thing that can drain a girl, even one as bubbly as Sersha. Thankfully, Black Lilith’s manager, Mikayla, seems determined to make Sersha feel at home. All the while, Sersha and Tommy grow closer, weaving poetry into music and sharing flirtatious looks over his battered notebook.
Just when things seem to be looking up, a ghost from Tommy’s past surfaces, threatening to tear down the careful equilibrium that Black Lilith has built. Sersha will need to decide who to believe and who to trust when the time comes.

Make Me
Book Three

Harper Styles can’t believe she’s really doing this. It’s one thing to take a job as an escort to pay her way through college. It’s another thing to fly to Iowa and pretend to be some stranger’s girlfriend so that he can get through a wedding without his family climbing all over him. She’s outside of the airport when she meets possibly the most beautiful man she’s ever seen.

Later, in the first class lounge, she realises that this man is her client: Slate, world-famous drummer for Black Lilith. Slate needs a girlfriend to deflect his parents’ attention from his womanising, rockstar lifestyle. Unable to convince his best friends to lend him their girlfriends, he’s resorted to hiring an escort to pretend to be his lover and smooth the rough relationship he has with his family. She asks him for his real name, but he gives her a coy smile that makes her weak at the knees.

He also makes it absolutely clear that he will not sleep with a woman he’s paying – as long as she is technically his employee, he will not take advantage. But the chemistry between them is immediate. Harper can be anything a man needs, but she’s starting to realise that what Slate really needs is a woman to break through his walls.

Sinful Rhythms
Book Four

Tessa Hunt is a former English major and current barista who’s stuck working at Starbucks. She’s got a huge family she loves, a pile of books in her ‘to be read’ pile, and a best friend she’s never met. D came into her life accidentally via an X-rated picture sent to the wrong number one late night five months ago, and the pair of them have been trading texts and secrets ever since.

When D invites her to finally meet at a rock concert, in person, because he has a job opportunity for her, she discovers that her hilarious dorky best friend D is the world-famous Dash Todd, from Black Lilith. The job he’s lined up for her is shadowing Black Lilith for their Sinful Rhythms tour and writing an article about them for Rolling Stone! That’s the sort of thing that launches careers.

But when Tessa tries to coax Dash into a more serious relationship, she realizes that things aren’t as easy as she thought they would be. Dash makes her weak in knees, but he goes cold the moment she tries to get serious. After so many years of effortless sex with groupies, she can hardly blame him for wanting to avoid commitment.

When another man vies for Tessa’s attention, she needs to decide whether to pursue a relationship with someone who is actually interested or to wait for her rockstar best friend.
