Black Creek Burning Blog Tour and Giveaway




Black Creek Burning
by R. T. Wolfe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Brianna Chapman has learned to handle just about anything. Witnessing the murder of her parents had that effect. Knowing the unsolved arson had been meant for her is the one thing she can’t handle. Instead of dwelling, she stuffs her guilt soundly into her subconscious through diving into the teaching job she loves by day and the dirt of the landscaping business she owns by night. Her habit of remaining aloof to personal relationships is, well, working.

Will her guilt be as easy to keep buried if the killer comes back to finish the job?

In the midst of juggling a scorched yard, dead animals on her doorstep, and her vandalized car, the one thing she didn’t count on was the staggering Nathan Reed. A nationally renowned woodworking artist, Nathan and his two priceless nephews move into the run-down historical house behind her and over Black Creek. They have a canny way of maneuvering around her aloof demeanor and into her heart. Will they still want to be part of her life when they discover she is haunted by past memories and hunted by present dangers?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT:

“When is the rest of your family coming?” she asked before she realized how that sounded.

“Rest of my family?” Nathan tilted his head toward the boys who were gleefully battling scar-faced monsters driving Corvettes and Camaros.

“You made reference to your wife.” Her eyes moved around thoughtfully. He said that, hadn’t he?

“I would not have made the reference, since there isn’t one. I’m divorced.”

“Yes, you did. You said your family was at your parents’ home when I came to bring your dog back to you.”

The two of them centered the table under her traditional, crystal chandelier.

“The boys were at my folks and they are my family. You know, you wouldn’t have to move your kitchen table if you had one for your dining room.”

“I told you, it was burned,” she said quickly.

“I guess I thought you were being sarcastic. How did it happen?”

“That’s a subject I don’t have time for.” She turned and started upstairs. “I need to change.”

She felt his fingers, rough and possessive, wrap around her arm. Gently, he turned her around. He held on carefully when she tried to pull away.

As she looked into the blue, he whispered, “I’m sorry. I know what it’s like to suddenly lose someone you love.”

Shaken, she felt exposed as she responded, “I never said I lost anyone.”

Nathan released her arm and lifted his hand near her face. He paused as she watched him before running the backs of his fingers down her cheek.

“True. I’m going to work on setting around your stack of folding chairs.”

As she moved up the stairs, she laid the palm of her hand where his fingers had touched her and swore she felt heat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Review:

4 stars
Brianna Chapman witnessed her parents home go up in flames and their lives taken, since that day Brianna has been a force to reckon with independent, determined, and never allowing someone to get to close.  When she meets new neighbor Nathan Reed she is tempted to get to know him better but caught off guard by his ability to read her, not realizing they have both suffered losses and moved on.

Nathan never looked back when he came back home bringing his two nephews with him.  The minute he meets Brianna he knows that it will be a rocky path getting her to trust him, but he feels she is worth the effort.  When it looks like the arson who killed her parents real target is Brianna, he does everything in his power to protect her, but the stalker is determined not to make the same mistake twice of letting Brianna live.

Captivating story, I thought that Brianna was an intriguing character the way the story starts out you know she is a survivor.  Nathan is so patient with Brianna, he instantly becomes a favorite book hero. Excellent read.

Review from 2010 EPIC Award Winning Author, Laurie Larsen:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R1DVHYO9HIVS2N/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0096D6WX6&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=

“I thoroughly enjoyed RT Wolfe's masterful debut novel, Black Creek Burning. Written with confident expertise on a variety of topics such as landscaping and home remodeling, I got wrapped up in the engaging storytelling of this wonderful tale of love, danger and suspense. Along the way I completely fell in love with hero Nathan as he patiently transformed the heroine Brie from an icy self-proclaimed independent into a woman willing to accept the love of a strong man and a family in need of a mother. The details were delicious, the settings were masterfully painted, the mystery was a stumper and the romance was beautifully satisfying.

A top-rate romantic suspense from a talented promising new author. I hear rumors that this is the first book of a series, and I gleefully await the sequel.”

4.5 stars

Cassidy Christensen is the type of person to roll with the punches.  After seeing her Dad brutally attacked, later to have both parents murdered, Cassidy could have crawled into a hole.  Instead Cassidy has lead a crooked path but her life is full at the moment, even if past memories haunt her.  That is precisely why she agrees to participate in a 5K run, not expecting to earn an entry into St. George’s marathon later in the year. Did I mention Cassidy is not a runner, but her mind is made up after she tries to sell her entry she decides she can do the marathon.

Training is one thing but having two men interested in her is quite another.  One Damon who is dreamy and a fellow runner offering to train with her, another Jesse who is a tattoo god and seems to show up whenever she is in trouble.  Throw in the mix a crazy hot red head who wants Damon to herself and now has begun stalking her, two slimy men who want to use her as bait, and a family who is just as quirky as she is, Cassidy’s life could not get any crazier.

Thoroughly enjoyable, I thought Cassidy was a hoot.  She is a type of character who has no filter when it comes to what she is thinking and is a exuberant free spirit.  I don’t run but I was totally engaged with her journey to the marathon, no matter how offbeat it was at times.  Excellent story, can’t wait until the next one.

Hot Ink by Ranae Rose

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Mina found Eric, a tattoo artist, online she never expected to fall for him. After weeks of getting to know him as he delicately crafted the tattoo she was wanting, she finds herself crushing hard. As the guardian to her younger sister though, she knows she doesn't have time for dating and what man would want her with the baggage she carries. None of Mina's concerns matter to Eric, when he is asked to pose with Mina for photographs showcasing their tattoos they end up kissing one another both hoping it will lead to something more...

This had a sensual sizzle to it, neither Mina or Eric jump right in it is slow and soft, both feeling each other out before deciding what to do. I liked that it was paced differently and the story had a couple of surprises that were unexpected. Great read.

Annabelle Lee by N.J. Walters

Annabelle Lee (Summersville Secrets, #1)Annabelle Lee by N.J. Walters
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The minute Mike Sloan set eyes on uptight librarian Annabelle Lee, he knew she was different. Although her exterior is prim and proper, he could see right through her knowing she would be soft and curvaceous. Biding his time he finally plans to stake his claim, the problem is Annabelle has misguided ideas on what their relationship will be and ends up hurting Mike in the process of what she believes is a no-strings affair.

This was just okay, Annabelle seemed almost to naive to me but when it came to exploring her sensual side she was not lacking any inhibitions, in fact she was quite dominating, so it didn't blend the two sides of Annabelle for me.

Going Under by Georgia Cates

Going Under (Going Under, #1)Going Under by Georgia Cates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Claire Deveraux is popular, smart, and going out with the football star named Forbes Henderson of the school. Everything about her life is perfect in the eyes of others, but to Claire she can't help but wonder if she is missing something in her perfectly planned out life.

Jessie Boone is completely opposite, he is from the wrong side of the tracks, confrontational, and the new quarterback on the football team. When Forbes makes an attempt to get back his starring role, Jessie decides to go after Claire to mess with him, but there is something about Claire especially when her hackles are up that draws Jessie in. Could polar opposites connect, an interesting story evolves that will change their lives forever.

Good story, I thought it was paced well and it also reminded me why I am so glad I am no longer in school. The antics of the self absorbed never cease to amaze me. Definitely interested in reading the next book.

Bodyguards by Kallysten Blog Tour




Title: Bodyguards
Series: Quicksilver Codex, Book 1
Author: Kallysten
Genre: Fantasy, Paranormal, Romance,
Publisher: Self-Published
Ebook
Words: 60,000

Release Date: November 12th 2012

Purchase:

TBD

Book Description:

On the verge of her twentieth birthday, Vivien’s worries are those of a typical young woman: doing well in college, gaining more independence, and maybe managing to show Brad, her classmate and sometimes jogging partner, that she wouldn’t mind taking their burgeoning relationship to a different level.

Everything changes in the blink of an eye. Vivien stumbles into a knife fight, watches a man die in front of her, and soon listens, stunned, as Brad and his brother Aedan tell her a story of magic, vampires and a murderous ruler intent on killing a princess in hiding – a tale in which she is the princess and heir to a realm she didn’t know existed.

Vivien’s first instinct is to refuse to believe this incredible tale, even if it comes from a man she is attracted to. But when her self-proclaimed bodyguards use magic to take her to a different world, the edges of reality start blurring and Vivien has to figure who she truly is.

Review:

Vivien is feeling tense with her impending birthday, but it mainly has to do with her crush with fellow student Brad.  When she decides to take a chance and let him know how she feels, it ends up with her huffing away and embarrassed by the incident.  Needing to blow of steam, she heads for her daily run only to end up in the middle of an attack and meeting Brad's twin brother Aedan.  Everything Vivien knew is about to change, she is a princess from another realm and Aedan and Brad are there to serve as her bodyguards.

This was the beginning of what I believe will be a series, it was intriguing because Brad and Vivien definitely have feelings for one another but Brad wears his duty of her bodyguard with honor and it interferes with what both want and what they can have.  Impending danger swirls around Vivien as she moves closer to the date she will become Queen.  Can't wait to read the next one.

About the Author:

Winter's Magic by Cynthia Gail Book Blast and Contest





Winter’s Magic
By Cynthia Gail

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:
                                                                                                            
Beth Sergeant and Nick Chester come from opposite ends of the social food chain. While he sees a rare beautiful woman without an agenda, she sees a wealthy playboy. Can he convince her to let go of her insecurities and take a chance on love, when challenges from his past force her to reveal her most guarded secret?

Owner of La Bella Vita, a five-star day spa nestled in the affluent suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee, Beth Sergeant knows her elite clientele first hand. She attended their private schools. She was even engaged, although briefly, to one of their most recognized bachelors. But she never fit in to their social-elite world.

After losing his parents to a car accident at a young age, Nick Chester was raised by his grandfather, the wealthiest man in Nashville. When he chooses to socialize, he has a never-ending list of exclusive events and beautiful women vying for his attention. Yet he never lets himself forget that everyone has an agenda.

Beth can’t resist Nick’s charm and accepts an invitation to dinner, despite her deep-seated insecurities. She proves she’s nothing like other women Nick's dated and learns to trust him in return. But just as the last of their resistance crumbles and true love is within reach, challenges from Nick's past threaten to destroy everything and force Beth to reveal her most guarded secret.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT:

“Can I see you Wednesday night?”

“Assuming you get out in the morning?” Beth tried to feign indifference as the grin on her face reached new heights. He wanted to see her again. That fact, and being with him tonight, was nothing short of an early Christmas present. Score one for Jenny’s advice. Sometimes you do have to let down your guard and enjoy life as it comes.

“True. I’m not worried, though. Surely they’ll have this cleaned up overnight.”

“When do you get home?”

“I think I land around six.”

“Give me a call when you get in and we’ll figure out where to meet.”

Beth closed her eyes for a moment to absorb the exquisite sensation of being cocooned in his arms as he held her so gently. She could feel the power in his broad shoulders and the hardness of his chest as he drew her against him a little closer than before, bringing every nerve ending in her body to attention.

When she opened her eyes, Nick was staring at her with an intensity that caused a shudder to run through her. And as the music faded, he led her through one last turn and bent down to kiss her. Short, but heavenly sweet. Then he nodded toward the windows.

“We probably need to head home.”

“I don’t think the snow’s going to let up anytime soon.” Her voice sounding steadier than she felt.

Home is where your heart is. Despite the culture shock and challenges of those shy, teenage years, I met my true love in that tiny town and I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to experience a community where everyone waves, calls you by name, and treats you like family.

My husband and I live in the suburbs of Nashville, Tennessee with our eighteen-year-old son and three dogs. When I’m not working or writing, I can be found with family and friends. I love to bake in the winter, grill in the summer, and on occasion, I sneak away from everyone and curl up with a good book.

I hope you enjoy my stories. Each one touches on modern day issues, fears, and challenges that women face every day. And each one illustrates that love is within reach if you let down those walls and allow your heart to open. Our lives and experiences are so much more meaningful when we have someone to share them with.

Finding Claire Fletcher by Lisa Regan Book Tour and Giveaway



Book BLURB:
Down on his luck, Detective Connor Parks takes solace in the arms of a woman he meets at a local bar, but in the morning, Claire Fletcher is gone, leaving behind clues to a decade-old mystery—her own abduction. Perplexed and driven by an unsettling need to see Claire again, Connor must solve the mystery of her disappearance and find her once and for all.

Excerpt:


Chapter 1 ~ 

I still saw her sometimes-the girl I used to be. She lived behind a locked door in my
mind. The door that protected the last secret part of me. The last bastion I had that no one else
could infiltrate or overcome. It was locked so securely that no one but me could force or tease it
open.
Behind the door, the girl stood on the street corner waiting to cross, shielding her eyes
from the sun with one slender hand. She was in the tenth grade and she was on her way to
school. She had a backpack slung over her left shoulder. She wore jeans and a yellow cotton
shirt.
Behind the door in my mind, I liked leaving the girl suspended on the street corner for as
long as I could. Sometimes I just watched her stand there, shielding her eyes, vaguely aware of
the cars whizzing by in front of her. She had a slight smile on her face. I wanted her to stay
right there on the street corner forever, frozen in her peaceful beauty and teenaged innocence.
Finding Claire Fletcher Regan/4
But she couldn’t stay there forever, not even behind the secret, locked door in my mind.
Eventually she crossed the street, walked the 30 feet or so . . . In my mind, however, she didn’t
stop when she saw the man crouched next to his car, neck craning to peer beneath it, the backseat
door hanging open next to him. In my mind she kept walking.
She never knelt down beside him to look beneath the car as he did, attempting to coax an
imaginary but frightened kitten from beneath it. In my mind, the man didn’t smash her head off
the door jamb and stuff her stunned, slack body unceremoniously into the backseat. These things
never happened to the girl I used to be behind the locked, secret door in my mind.
I envisioned two alternatives for that girl. One was that she stood on the corner, shielding
her eyes with one hand and when she stepped off the curb into the street, certain that the way was
clear, she was crushed by an oncoming truck and killed instantly. There she lay in the street,
limbs twisted and bent at odd angles, her thick red blood congealing on the pale asphalt. Her
eyes were fixed upward, blank, unknowing. I liked this scenario because it did not involve the
man who unmade her and took everything pure away from her.
The second alternative was that she did not cross the street. She decided to turn left
instead of crossing and she avoided the man altogether. And so she went on with her life. She
knew nothing of the abject horror she avoided. She was still innocent in that way.
This girl from scenario two lived a parallel life. I imagined that she was out there, still
living my life. She went to her proms and high school graduation. She had a boyfriend and went
off to college. The very second I thought about her, she was out there living the life I was
supposed to live.
Maybe she was making plans to get married or have a child with someone. I liked to
think of her that way, as if she still existed in some other dimension. I liked to think that
Finding Claire Fletcher Regan/5
someday I’d run into her and see in her face that in spite of what I’ve been through the girl I used
to be is all innocence and light.
That when she smiles it’s beautiful and not broken.

Secret Storm by Amelia James Book Tour and Giveaway




Book BLURB: “I want to let you in, Jack, but I…. Oh hell, I just want you. I know you’re not what I need, but I don’t care. Take me to bed now and we’ll sort the rest out later.”
The last thing Sara Jensen needs is another risky relationship. She wants Jack, but she’s been hurt too many times to trust him even though he’s more than a friend. Jack won’t trust her, and that hurts more than her ex’s betrayal.

Jack Wheeler wants Sara. His long denied lust burns barely contained. But a dangerous secret comes back to haunt him, a secret so horrible he can’t trust anyone with it, not even the woman he desires more than anything.

For the first time since they met, they’re both available, but the timing couldn’t be worse. Sara’s not too eager to trust a man again, and Jack refuses to reveal his secret. Getting involved now is complicated, but Sara and Jack have waited long enough. Neither one of them can control their desires. But there’s a storm approaching, and as hard as she tries, Sara can’t run away from Jack’s past. Jack won’t accept her help, and Sara doesn’t know how long she can wait for him to realize he needs her.

REVIEW:

Jack has been waiting for a chance with Sara Jensen from the first moment he met her.  It seemed either she was involved with someone or he was, the timing was never right.  When Jack finds out she dumped her recent boyfriend he knows the time is finally right, but Sara is nervous about entering into another relationship, especially one that she has wished for a longtime.

Jack has kept his history to himself, not wanting others to know but Sara is determined to have no secrets between them and wants to be there for Jack who is determined to keep it to himself.   A relationship that has the potential to be everything they both want is in jeopardy if they can’t learn to lean on each other when they need it most.

The chemistry between Jack and Sara is intense from the beginning, Jack knows Sara is the one for him since the beginning.  I thought it was interesting the shift in roles once Sara decides she wants Jack.  Excellent story and highly entertaining.

BIO: Amelia James started reading steamy romance novels in junior high, but her mom took them away from her, so she started daydreaming instead. After she got married, she wrote some of her naughtier daydreams down and sent them to Playgirl magazine. Two of them got published.  She kept daydreaming and writing stories until her dirty stories turned into trashy books.
She lives in Colorado, but she’ll always be a loyal Wisconsin Cheesehead. When she’s not lusting after her next bad boy hero, she looks for inspiration in sci-fi and action movies, football players, bloodsucking lawyers, muscle cars, and kick-butt chicks.
