“LOSING HOPE” which is Colleen Hoover’s HOPELESS from Holder’s POV is now available for pre-order!!!! To be Released July 9, 2013 ♥ Here is the blurb:
.
In the follow-up to Colleen Hoover’s #1 New York Times bestseller Hopeless, the charming and irresistible Dean Holder tells the passionate story that has melted thousands of hearts.
In Hopeless, Sky left no secret unearthed, no feeling unshared, and no memory forgotten, but Holder’s past remained a mystery.
.
Still haunted by the little girl he let walk away, Holder has spent his entire life searching for her in an attempt to finally rid himself of the crushing guilt he has felt for years. But he could not have anticipated that the moment they reconnect, even greater remorse would overwhelm him…
.
Sometimes in life, if we wish to move forward, we must first dig deep into our past and make amends. In Losing Hope, bestselling author Colleen Hoover reveals what was going on inside Holder’s head during all those hopeless moments—and whether he can gain the peace he desperately needs.

TWISTED PERFECTION TEASERS from Abbi Glines ♥
.
“Della,” I replied. Did she not come here looking for me? Why did she seem so surprised?
“What are you doing here?” She asked as a pleased smile started to form on her lips. I never told her my last name. On purpose. I didn’t want the one-night-stand to turn into anything more. Although over the past four months I’d kicked myself for not giving her my number. I’d wondered where she was and if she was going to come back this way anytime soon. Now, here she stood. In my country club.
.
What am I doing today? Writing Twisted Perfection. Here’s a peek: “She just got overheated. That mixed with the alcohol. The cool air brought her around,” Woods explained for me.
Bethy’s relief was all over her face. “Thanks Woods. I can stay with her if you want to go back inside.”
Woods hand tightened around mine. “No, I’m good right here. I needed a break too.”
.
“Thanks for your help tonight. I hope I didn’t freak you out too bad,” Della said glancing over at me.
I needed to respond but what did I say. You’re welcome and you completely fucked with my head. I couldn’t say that but I needed to say something.
“I’ll always help you but I’m not going to lie to you. After tonight, I’m concerned. I don’t want to drop you off and leave you alone in that damn condo. I want to take you back to my place and take care of you.”

ON DUBLIN STREET FANS, LOOK!! There’s going to be a novella from Samantha Young released called UNTIL FOUNTAIN BRIDGE!!
.
BLURB –> Ellie Carmichael had a crush on Adam Sutherland, her brother, Braden’s, best friend, for years, and although Adam treated her with proprietary concern he made it clear he thought of her only as a little sister.
.
Over the years, as Ellie’s crush develops into love, her romantic idealism makes it difficult for her to move on. To make matters worse, as she’s gotten older, Adam’s attitude has changed toward her. His affection for her is now joined by attraction, but his loyalty to Braden, and his fear of losing the only family he has, stops him from claiming Ellie the way she wishes he would.
.
But one night his attraction is put to the test, and as much as Adam would like things to remain the same everything changes between them in a simple brush of the lips.
.
Soon lust, love, jealousy and heartbreak combine to force change upon their relationship… and Adam discovers the hard way that life is too damn short to spend it on regret.
.

.
These urges constantly hit me, and I couldn’t help but imagine what it’d be like to bury my nose in the haven behind her ear, to press my mouth at her jaw, to tangle my hands in her hair.
.
Against my better judgment, which could so easily be called into question, anyway, I gave in. Took a little.
.
I was always so good at taking.
.
The strand of hair I tugged between my fingers was soft, like silk against my callused skin. The action should’ve been innocent enough. I remembered doing it often when we were children, just a small act of affection to let her know it was okay she was there. There was never anything more to it than that.
.
But I knew better now, knew it would stir the need I’d felt in the pit of my stomach since I found her backed against that wall last night.

READERS!! Please take a moment to read this message from Author Tina Reber that address the book piracy issues going around right now.
.
“Over the last two days I have been deeply saddened – DEEPLY – by the careless actions of others. I have been alerted that several readers have created private Facebook groups and are SHARING/UPLOADING epub and pdf versions of hundreds of novels.
Listen, I LOVE to read. LOVE TO READ. But getting something I didn’t pay for via back door methods is STEALING, no matter how you paint it. Imagine going to work for a year and having your boss tell you that you’re not worth paying. These groups think that they are safe as they are only sharing within their private walls, but what happens to that file content once it leaves the group? Nothing prevents it from being emailed or uploaded on global pirate sites. This doesn’t just affect me, it affects hundreds of authors who are finding their work being stolen and shared illegally. Please, if you can’t afford to buy something, stealing is not the answer.”
