Blog Tour! Hunted by the Dragon (Black Sky Dragons #1) by Addison Carmichael


Hunted by the Dragon 
Black Sky Dragons Book 1 
by Addison Carmichael 
Genre: Paranormal Romance 


A real fire-breathing Dragon? 

When the questionable cellphone photo of a flying black reptile is splashed over the internet, online news reporter Crystal Logan ventures to the small town of Winchester to find out just how real this alleged sighting is. If her suspicions prove accurate, this will be the discovery of a lifetime, and the answer to a heartbreaking nightmare that has plagued Cryss for over a decade. 

* * * 

In the Black Sky Mountains of Colorado, Sheriff Derek Reaves has worked hard to maintain his quiet rural life. Now thanks to a paranoid tourist who swears he spotted a fairytale monster, hundreds of crazy supernatural and alien seekers are flooding Winchester for their own encounter of the bizarrest kind. 

Unfortunately one beautiful news lady is a lot savvier, nosier and tenacious than all the others. If he’s not careful, Cryss Logan may very well uncover the dangerous secret Derek has hidden all these years, threatening not only his safe, peaceful life, but his very existence. 

Unless he can find a way to stop her first. 






AMAZON Best Selling author ADDISON CARMICHAEL is a Paranormal Romance junkie. Love is a mystical, magical thing to her, and she loves writing and living vicariously through her endless PNR stories. Whether it be alpha male werewolves, fierce dragons, panthers and other shifters, sizzling hot vampires, or illusive sorcerers who will magically make your dreams come true, her imagination is bubbling up several stories after another.

“I’m often asked why I write this genre,” Addison commented. “The truth is, I love creating unique and fantastical worlds where anything is possible. I’m in love with love and all its possibilities for both adventure and total bliss. This is my avenue to live in these worlds and become the adventurous heroine who falls madly in love with her compliment super hot, supernatural hero. Worlds I love to visit again and again.”

As a literature major, Addison also enjoys weaving classic themes into her books, yet keeping the fun and folklore true to each story and character. While paying strict attention to the tropes of each myth, she also finds unique ways to create new ones in order to make each story as fresh, realistic and plausible as possible.
Besides reading and writing (which are blissful addictions), Addison loves the mountains and ocean, and enjoys hiking, camping, horseback riding and star-gazing whenever she can manage it. But reading, writing and storytelling is and will always be the “true love” of her life.
Addison Carmichael was born and raised in Southern California and has lived and traveled all over the west coast (and the world).  She married the man of her dreams and has two awesome sons, two daughters-of-her-heart, and three grandchildren who are the jewels in her personal crown.

She now lives happily-ever-after with her family (which includes Mollie, her black lab-border collie) in Snohomish, Washington of the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

Blog Tour! Never Date a Doctor by Melanie A. Smith


Never Date a Doctor
Melanie A. Smith
Publication date: February 25th 2020
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
From best-selling author Melanie A. Smith comes the first book in a new series of steamy contemporary medical romance standalone novels about life lessons that break all the rules.
What’s the first rule of nurse’s club? That’s right: Never date a doctor. Which Sasha Suvorin has no intention of doing anyway, since she’s a nurse at Rutherford Hospital by day and working on her master’s degree by night. Who has time for dating, much less dating someone you work with? Bad idea much?
That is, until the sexy British Dr. Caleb Thompson starts at her hospital. It also doesn’t help that he’s exactly her type with his dark hair, blue eyes, and rockin’ bod. Or that he’s not your typical arrogant and bossy surgeon. But Sasha isn’t so easily convinced, and she soon discovers Dr. Hottie has a past that puts a stop to whatever she might have been feeling before anything ever starts between them.
Unfortunately, working together means facing temptation. Every. Single. Day. Is Sasha strong enough to resist what might just be the perfect man? And if she gives in, will Cal’s past stay in the past? Sasha may be used to playing it safe, but life has a way of teaching its lessons … one way or another.


Author Bio:
Melanie A. Smith is the best-selling author of The Safeguarded Heart Series and other contemporary romance fiction. Originally from upstate New York, she spent most of her childhood in the San Francisco Bay Area before moving to Los Angeles for college. After that, she spent almost fifteen years in the Seattle Area, and now lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas with her family.
​A voracious reader and lifelong writer, Melanie’s writing began at a young age with short stories and poetry. Having completed a bachelor of science in electrical engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a master’s in business administration at the University of Washington, her writing abilities were mainly utilized for technical documents as a lead engineer for the Boeing Company, where she worked for ten years.
After shifting careers to domestic engineering and property management in 2015, she eventually found a balance where she was able to return to writing fiction.
Melanie is also a Mensan and enjoys spending time with her family, cooking, and driving with the windows down and the stereo cranked up loud.

Blog Tour! Mercy by KC Decker

 
MERCY by KC Decker Release Date: February 27th
 
    CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO TRAILER HERE: https://youtu.be/K3pYUT0buwQ     AVAILABLE NOW!! FREE in Kindle Unlimited! Amazon US: https://amzn.to/37SDC2A Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3c8yydF Amazon CA: https://amzn.to/2veBPYc Amazon AU: https://amzn.to/382tyEa    
Blurb: National Award-Winning Author KC Decker, brings readers a Sexy New, Doctor-Patient Romance.
MERCY Ironically, my name is Mercy, though my parents showed me none. If you buy the nonsense they’re selling, you’d think my very birth foretold of an evil prophesy and unleashed a wicked scourge across the land. While that telling is all very dramatic and compelling, it’s not the whole story. The truth is, I was almost ten years old before the religious cult began to insist I had been kissed by the devil. Nowadays, how people perceive me is clouded by a different set of convictions and a whole new doctrine. It’s a different batch of Kool-Aid, but I still have no choice about whether to swallow it or not. Not while I’m here and labeled a Ward of the State. I’ve worn all types of labels over the years—non-believer, pariah, deranged, orphan…it’s all in my file if you care to understand me better. But the label that seems to have implanted the deepest and garnered the most attention is the one I wear like a Scarlet Letter. It precedes me when I enter a room and is whispered about like a schoolyard crush. Paranoid Schizophrenic.        
About the Author: KC Decker's debut novel, 1462 South Broadway was the First Place Winner of the 2017 National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award.
She is also the author of the runaway hits, 720 Linden Street, 1700 Grant Street and 945 Cedar Avenue, as well as the sexy standalones, Little Dove, Of Ash and Angels, and her newest release GRADATION.
KC is a voracious reader, compulsive daydreamer and romantic escapist. After years of over thinking and narcissistic scrutiny of everything she has ever written; including term papers and shopping lists, she decided to tackle a book of her very own. Her actions culminated in a very sincere and magnanimous respect for all published writers.

New Review! Never Love a Rockstar (Never Trust #3) by Sarah Darlington 4.5 Cranky Stars

Never Love a RockstarNever Love a Rockstar by Sarah Darlington
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Cranky Stars


Since book one I’ve always wondered what Luke’s story was. He was cranky and just seemed to be going along with the band for his brothers Caleb and Ollie. Sunset Revival wasn’t his thing he didn’t like all the after parties and madness of the crowds. It also didn’t help that he had a thing for Caleb’s girl Rebecca. Nothing could have prepared him for one night and that night to change anything. He lives with the guilt eating away at him doing anything he can for Caleb for four years until the past comes knocking. When he hears a blast from the past is back, he has his doubts but a voice telling him this is all his doing. Rebecca has worked hard to distance herself from Caleb and Luke for years. She is just fine on her own until her mother ups and leaves for her latest flavor and it has her drowning. She decides that she must seek out Caleb but is devastated when he would rather her not be there at all. She is even more in shock when she learns the truth that the voice in her head has been saying all along is true. Now she must confront Luke and isn’t expecting the reception she received. You see no matter how hard you try you can’t run from your past or first loves.


I was so happy to read this book. It’s hard to review it because I don’t want to give too much away. Rebecca is a strong woman to take all that on her own. Luke has his reasons for being a grump. Guilt can eat away at you that’s for sure. I have liked this series since book one and so far, Luke’s story has been my favorite with Caleb a very close second. I’m so ready for Ollie now!

New Review! How the Mind Breaks by Dani Rene 4.5 Cranky Stars

How the Mind BreaksHow the Mind Breaks by Dani René
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Cranky Stars


You will have to have your wits about you when reading the book, if you don't you will get lost. I found it emotional in two ways, first I liked the book then I was going to give up on it then reading on I liked it again and the it got really good. Secondly the subject matter is an emotional rollercoaster. How much can your mind take before it breaks?


Tia had been abused by her father and friends from the age of 16, she had witnessed many things a young girl shouldn't see. In her mind she had a special place she could go, so as not to feel or hear. She believed that she killed her own mother and that her older sister was away at school. Braxton was ex services and had his own mental issues, he had banded with some other ex service men and formed unit that dealt with things their own way.


He fell in love with Tia when first seeing her but didn't know it. His mind couldn't handle emotions at all.


This book starts to twist and turn in directions you would never think. It makes your own mind go crazy trying to figure it out. How can two broken people survive together? Will it be a happy ending? I enjoyed this read in the end and was glad that I persevered with it. Warning a dark book.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Denise Wells has been reading since before she could talk. And to this day, escaping into a book is her go-to activity before anything else.

She likes to write about sassy women and semi-flawed alpha-esque men. Denise's female characters always have strong friendships, potty mouths, and like to drink--a lot.

Denise is loyal to a fault, a bit too sarcastic, blindingly optimistic, and pretty freakin' happy with life overall. As a diehard fan of the band The Replacements, Denise would be a rock star in the band if she couldn't be a writer. She's even kissed the lead singer, Paul Westerberg, to prove her devotion.

Home is in the Pacific Northwest where she lives with six special needs dogs, one cat (who's busy plotting the demise of the six dogs), and a husband (BW) who has the patience and tolerance of a saint. And, lest she forget, Denise also lives with too many to count characters inside her head, who will eventually have their stories told.

SYNOPSIS

Dimi Weston has always loved the theater—just not as much as loves managing things. His job at Joy Universe lets him manage to his heart’s content, and he fills his free time with community theater. Now, though, he’s being offered a promotion to his dream job: managing Joy Universe’s brand-new theater production company. JU really does make dreams come true—or so he thinks until he meets the ex-Broadway director he’ll have to work with.

Jason Philips is shocked to discover the hot younger guy he was trying to impress at a community theater is going to be managing the production company that just hired him. Scarred by the bad breakup of a long-term relationship, Jase is already nervous about getting back into dating… and now he’s accidentally offended the first guy he tried to flirt with and now has to work with.

As Dimi and Jason get stuck into the craziness of the theater, they have to contend with family, exes, and the nosiness of their colleagues, but nothing will stop them from making this venture a success.

Blog Tour! Dangerous Desires by Dawn Altieri


Dangerous Desires 
by Dawn Altieri 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 


Three years after Emma Sloane's wealthy fiance's mysterious death, she's finally ready to move on and pursue her own dreams. But her plans are derailed when she's attacked outside her New York City apartment in what she thinks is a random violent incident. Then other women who look just like her start turning up dead... 

Homicide Detective Jake Quinn is haunted by the one case he couldn't solve. When he's put in charge of a new high-profile murder case, he interviews a victim who escaped a similar attack—and to his shock it's Emma, the former fiancée of his unsolved murder victim. 

Neither expects the sparks of attraction between them. But the killer escalates, clearly targeting Emma, and Jake's job is on the line. Can he solve this case before it's too late for both of them? 





A lifelong resident of northern New Jersey, Dawn Altieri has been scribbling stories practically since birth. After reaching a milestone birthday (she won't say which one), she figured it was about time she took a shot at writing professionally. 

With an overactive imagination and a slightly twisted mind, she enjoys reading dark and dangerous tales almost as much as writing them. When she's not curled up on the sofa with her laptop, her latest story, a box of chocolates and a cup of tea (or a glass of wine, depending on the time of day), she can be found volunteering in the world of animal rescue. To keep a roof over her head, she works in the printing industry as a graphic production artist. She shares her home with her husband and daughter, and a menagerie of rescued fur-babies.
