Cover Reveals

The Emi Lost & Found Series by Lori Otto

May 8, 2014 by Aestas · 5 Comments

I recently fell in love with this amazing series and have put together a series recommendations page here for you along with a glimpse at the gorgeous new series covers!!

As a whole, the Emi Lost & Found series is a beautifully written, powerful, and unforgettable love story that made me feel every possible emotion. This is a story that will stay in my heart forever.

During my read, I cried almost harder than I’d ever cried over a book before, I laughed, I felt love, loss, confusion, anger, betrayal, elation, relief… pretty much everything.

The author calls this an atypical romance and I totally understand why. It’s an unconventional story in every way. It steps outside the box, it defies the norm, and it comes out on top. It put my heart through the ringer but having finished it now, I can tell you that this is one of the best stories I have ever read.

The review has a spoiler free beginning and a hidden section after with spoilers in case you prefer to know the story in advance. It’s totally up to you!

While each book can be purchased separately, it is my recommendation to buy the series bundle which has the prequel, all 3 main novels, and 2 bonus short stories included in it.

Paperbacks of all books will be coming soon, but the books are also available for purchase separately on Kindle at these links:

Cover Reveal — UGLY LOVE by Colleen Hoover

May 3, 2014 by Aestas · Leave a Comment

I’m so excited to bring you the gorgeous cover of UGLY LOVE by Colleen Hoover!!!

This new “heart-wrenching love story” will be out in August and I can’t wait for it to be released!! I love everything she writes!! It’s a contemporary romance standalone and you can pre-order your copy now!

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn’t think it’s love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.

Never ask about the past.
Don’t expect a future.

They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.

Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly.

COVER REVEAL & TEASER — MR. BEAUTIFUL by RK Lilley

March 4, 2014 by Aestas · 16 Comments

JAMES CAVENDISH FANS!!!!!

Mr. Beautiful will be a male POV continuation of the Up In The Air series that tells the story of James, and Stephan, and their unwavering love of a woman that would make the two men family. The bulk of the novel will take place after the events in Grounded. However, there will also be many, many bonus male POV scenes from the first three books.

This is not a standalone and should be read after the UITA series (see reading order below). However, if you are new to the series, the first 3 books tell a completed story so you’re safe to read them as a trilogy.

The release date is October 15, 2014!! There’s no preorder yet but I will be posting the links with a big announcement as soon as it goes live so you won’t miss it!

Oh, and scroll down for a very special TEASER featuring James & Bianca!!! 😀

JAMES

I couldn’t sleep after the shooting.

Bianca slept like a baby, like she never had before, like every worry she’d ever had had disappeared with the death of her father.

But not me. I was more restless than ever. A miracle had saved her, not me, and I felt helpless because of it.

It was not a feeling that fit me well.

In fact, it made my skin crawl in discomfort. In anger.

It had been months since the attack. She and Stephan were healed physically, and, it seemed emotionally, but I felt the wounds as though they were fresh. What had almost happened haunted me. I was a man that needed control, and I’d been shown, in the starkest way possible, that I had none.

I sat scant feet away from our bed, watching Bianca sleep. She was nude, with not so much as a sheet covering her. I’d seen to that. I watched her lithe form shift on the bed, one long leg hitching up to give me a glimpse of the pink between her legs.

I felt like a fucking stalker.

In fact, I was one, watching her for hours on end, night after night.

I tensed when I realized she’d roused. It disturbed her that I couldn’t sleep, when she deserved peace more than anyone.

She sat up, and I watched her heavy breasts swaying with the movement. “James.” Her voice was the softest utterance.

“Love,” I answered, feeling the dark mood that had overtaken me lift in an instant. Just having her eyes on me could do that.

She crawled across the bed toward me. She’d always had an uncanny ability to do exactly the thing that would drive me the most wild, and she’d only gotten better at that over time. She didn’t hide her body from me as she moved. In fact, she posed for me, even the exposure of her body an act of submission. As though reading my thoughts, as though even those were a command, she paused on the edge of the bed, parting her legs to let me look my fill before she rose, approaching my chair.

I stood to meet her, my body drawn tight, my cock throbbing as though I hadn’t come, buried inside of her, just hours before.

I was a statue as she leaned up to my ear, my brows drawing together in a question. Her lips touched my ear as she spoke.

“Hurt me,” she whispered raggedly.

My eyes shut tight, my jaw went slack, and a shudder wracked my entire body.

I’d avoided all of the rough stuff since she’d been injured, but God had I missed it.

“We don’t have to, Bianca. It’s not necess-“

She gripped my hair, pulling my face down to her injured cheek. She dug her jaw into me so hard that I knew it must be hurting her badly. It was healed now, but I knew it was still sore.

“I need it,” she rasped into my ear. “I’ll never stop needing it. Please.”

I pulled back, and my hands trembled as I cupped her face in my hands, my eyes searching hers desperately for what I wanted to see. Need. Yes. She needed this as much as I did. Perhaps more so.

“Get on the bed,” I told her thickly.

❤ BOOK #2 — LAST LIGHT ❤

Release date: October 28, 2014

Kindle Preorder | Paperback Preorder

Matt Sky is missing. After a solo ascent of Longs Peak that left only a large blood stain, tatters of climbing clothing, and the tracks of an animal in the snow, he is presumed dead.

Hannah Catalano is guarding a secret: She knows Matt is alive. After Matt’s memorial service, she lingers on the East Coast with his family, but it soon becomes clear that his brothers’ motives are less than gracious. Nate Sky is bent on tracking down the author of Night Owl, a book that charts the last days of Matt’s life with uncanny and scandalous accuracy, and which appeared only after his death. Seth Sky is bent on getting Hannah into his bed.

Tensions rise, secrets grow bigger, and passions run deeper—and hotter—as Matt struggles to find himself, Hannah tries to escape Nate’s libel suit and fend off Seth’s advances, and together Matt and Hannah strive desperately to maintain their ruse and their relationship…until Hannah is put in danger and Matt must make a life or death choice.

❤ BOOK #3 — AFTER DARK ❤

Release date: TBA 2015

links coming soon

At twenty-nine, Matt Sky is trying to return to normal, having faked his death and come back to life. He and Hannah move to a simple house in the suburbs, and strive to grow their relationship into something durable and honest. They become more and more entangled, in the best ways possible.

At twenty-eight, Hannah finally has the life she’s always wanted: she’s pursuing her career as a literary agent at Granite Wing Agency, she is writing her first solo novel, and she is living with her hot, passionate lover. For the first time, Matt and Hannah are able to explore intimacy without inhibitions—without lies, secrets, or jealousy—and the results are explosive.

Still life together is not as easy as it seems. Matt is estranged from his brothers in the wake of his cruel stunt; Seth Sky, embittered by his failed pursuit of Hannah, makes a play for Hannah’s sister; and the topic of Hannah’s novel—her relationship with Matt and the Sky family—is driving a wedge between her and Matt. The lovers are devoted to one another, having come through many ordeals, but is their bond strong enough to last a lifetime?

Cover Reveal + Teaser — THE WILD SIDE by R.K. Lilley

February 10, 2014 by Aestas · Leave a Comment

I am so excited to bring you the cover, blurb, and a special teaser from RK Lilley’s new standalone erotic romance novel — The Wild Side. I am a huge fan of her writing — I loved both the Up In The Air series, and the Tristan & Danika trilogy and can’t wait to read this new book!!!

*** edit: since this post, this story has been changed to a novella serial. Details to come.

Scroll down and see what it’s all about 😉

❤ THE WILD SIDE ❤

standalone erotic romance — coming 2014

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE A WALK?

Alasdair Masters is in a rut. He just hit forty, has been nearly celibate for the past year, and his life has turned into a daily sequence of lonely patterns that revolve around avoiding human contact.

His tidy life is turned on its head when a hot young blonde at the gym that’s been pseudo-stalking him decides to rock his world. A very young blonde. Way, way too young for him. The problem is, he can’t seem to tell her no, and she just keeps coming back for more.

It doesn’t help that he’s ninety percent sure she’s a criminal, and still, he can’t seem to turn her down. What is a dull introvert to do when a chaotic cyclone that oozes sexuality comes twisting into his life?

At first, he thinks she’ll give him a heart attack, but after his twenty-year marriage ended a year ago, he’s been a little lost, and when she comes crashing into his life, he realizes that he’s never felt more alive.

Is a walk on the wild side just what he needs to get his life on track or a disaster in the making? Is it possible for someone that much younger to be just what he needs, or is she a fortune hunter, as everyone keeps telling him? Is it his hormones telling him that the mysterious younger woman is the one, or could it be more?

❤ TEASER ❤

I set my two perfectly folded gym towels down on a chair by the treadmill and got on the machine.

I always brought two. I wasn’t even sure why. I was a creature of habit. Once I started a pattern, I tended to stick to it, rain or shine.

Kind of like my marriage. Of course, that hadn’t lasted forever, but that hadn’t exactly been my choice.

I punched in my settings and began my warm-up. I had already done twenty minutes of stretching at home. My three-hour daily workout was very precise. I had a family history chock-full of heart disease, and so I aggressively fought to stay healthy. I was intelligent enough to know that I’d brought the whole thing to an extreme, but honestly, what else was I supposed to do with my free time? I was busy enough with work, but my work involved a lot of sitting down and tapping away at a computer, and I felt I had to counter all of that physical inactivity, somehow.
