Cover Reveal! Walking Heartbreak by: Sunniva Dee...I'm so excited! Check out the giveaway.
Walking Heartbreak
Sunniva Dee
Publication date: December 17th 2015
Genres: New Adult, Romance, Suspense
Don’t judge me.
I am not what you see.
I am the opposite.
—Nadia’s lipstick note on Bo’s mirror.
Indie-rocker Bo Lindgren is worshiped for his looks and musical genius. It’s been lonely at the top since his ex left. Bo will never take a girlfriend again though, because he doesn’t have the chops to love. He knows he’s poison, a heartbreak waiting to happen for anyone he allows too close—like his ex. Bo screws his way through the fangirls until he’s sick of it all. Until the dark gaze of Nadia Vidal appears in the door to his dressing room.
Saved from an arranged marriage by Jude, the love of her life, Nadia eloped and got married at nineteen. But now, two years later, life is wilted, dead, and not what anyone should have to endure.
Nadia, with her secret-keeper eyes and instant understanding of who Bo is, attracts and fascinates him without even trying. The ring gleaming on her finger should keep them apart, but morals can’t always resist destiny.
When brokenhearted meets heartbreaker, whose heart is really at stake?
Author Bio:
Sunniva was born in Norway, the Land of The Midnight Sun, but spent her early twenties making the world her playground. Southern Europe: Spain, Italy, Greece—Argentina: Buenos Aires, in particular. The United States finally kept her interest, and after half a decade in California, she now lounges in the beautiful city of Savannah. Sunniva has a Master's degree in Spanish, which she taught until she settled in as an adviser at an art college in the South.
Sunniva writes New Adult fiction with soul. Sometimes it's with a paranormal twist, like in Shattering Halos, Stargazer, and Cat Love. At other times, it's contemporary, as in Pandora Wild Child, Leon's Way, Adrenaline Crush, and now Walking Heartbreak.
Sunniva is the happiest when her characters take over, let their emotions run off with them, shaping her stories in ways she never foresaw. She loves bad-boys and good-boys run amok, and like in real life, her goal is to keep you on your toes until the end of each story.

It's here! Marley by: Lesley Jones is finally live!! Are you ready for the heartbreak?
Marley:
A Carnage Novel Book Summary
From
the author of Carnage 1&2, comes this follow up novel. Marley tells the
story of Carnage from Marley Layton’s POV. It will give you the missing years.
Marley is a companion novel to Carnage 1&2 and both of those books should
be read first.
Want
to know what really happened in that hotel room in Paris?
Want
to know if the rumours of Marley, Sean and their sexploits were true?
We
got to watch Georgia fall apart but what was Sean going through in those four
years they were separated?
Marley
will give you the answers but he might just break your heart along the way.
"‘So,
they want me to write a book? They want to know about my band, my life, my
loves and my losses. But they have no idea what they’re asking for. If I give
them what they want, they’ll get so much more than the sex and drugs and the
rock and roll they’re expecting. They’ll get the secrets that I’ve kept for so
long, they’ll get an insight into the person I really am, or at least was. They
think they know my story, they know nothing.
If
I do this, if I write honestly and give them the ugly truth, people will get
hurt. People that I love, people that have already suffered in the worst
possible ways.
Do
I do this, or do I walk away? Taking my secrets to the grave."
Marley
is an adult contemporary romance. It contains content suitable only for
grownups with an open mind. There are scenes of group sex which include m/f/m a
little bit of f/m/m and even some f/f/f/m/m/f/f/f. There is drinking and drug
taking involved. A lot of swearing, some Essex slang and some very high
emotion. Please don’t complain after reading this book that you weren't warned.
And yes, of course you’ll need tissues.

Carnage 2: The story of me Book Summary My review on both books
When your world, your life and all of your hopes and dreams
for the future are ripped out from under you, how do you go on? Death without dying is not only the most painful kind of death, it's also the most painful kind of life and I don't know if I'm strong enough to live it.
I spend my lonely days and nights trying to make sense of what my life has become. Do I have the strength to move forward into the light, or should I just let the darkness take me?
I'm Georgia Rae Layton McCarthy and this is the story of me, just me.
I'm no longer a part of an us, it's just me.
Alone.
By myself.

Blog tour! Vivid by: Jessica Wilde Released Oct 11...I loved this book!
Merrick Thatcher went through a hell that no one could possibly imagine. He fought to protect his country, his family, and the men standing at his side, but it wasn't just being a soldier overseas that changed him. He watched his friends die in front of him, felt indescribable pain, and lost his sight in the very same moment.
For readers 18+ due to language, violence, and sexual situations
EXCLUSIVE AUTHOR INTERVIEW & CHAPTER REVEAL
w/ Panty Dropping Book Blog
AUTHOR INTERVIEW
READ CHAPTER ONE
Like many other foundations, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation provides assistance to injured soldiers as well as their families. SOWF also focuses on one of the most important challenges those families face; 'getting to their hospitalized loved ones as quickly as possible'. With grants immediately provided to the family, they can travel to be bedside with their loved one, especially for those crucial first days. SOWF also provides a scholarship program, family services (including clinical social workers, scholarship counselors, and family services counselors). With on-going support and helpful counseling to all families of fallen members in every branch of the military, they are able to help in all the ways that count. The SOWF was highly recommended to me by a recent veteran who served in Iraq. Therefore, I am thrilled to be able to help them in any way possible. Every little bit counts.
My Review: (ARC provided)
4.5 stars!
First I want to point out how wonderful I think it is that Jessica is donating fifty percent of her sales the fifteenth through the rest of the month to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. I really loved this book, it made me feel good. Yes it's somewhat bittersweet at times but the message is beautiful.
Sometimes when I read I don't care for the H or h but still enjoy the book, well this wasn't the case, not at all. I loved the heroine, I want to be friends with her, she was a selfless person and truly good and kind. The hero although comes across unlikable I couldn't help but love him too. I had a soft spot for him from the beginning and knew there was more to his broodiness. I feel he had every right to be angry. He may have taken it out on the people he loved the most but that's reality; don't we all do that? This is such a heartwarming story and even though I knew where it was headed it didn't take anything away from me.
Merrick (H) has been to hell and back he's lost his sight, and is wheel chair bound for the time being. Grace (h) is broken herself, not fully healed and moving back home with her parents for a while. She is hired as Merrick's nurse, she's always had a crush on her neighbor and he's never seen her. Now that she's back and helping him heal literally and figuratively he wants nothing more than to be able to see her, but he's lost his chance. She soothes him with her voice and soon the relationship is headed into a territory Grace shouldn't go, being that he is her patient. Can they both heal? And will Grace risk her job to take the leap to be with Merrick?
I can't imagine what it would be like to go through what either one of them did. Jessica does a good job of capturing it and making me believe. This book isn't overly angsty or melodramatic. It's touching and I think very true to life of someone that had to go through this. The only thing I wished is for him to remember her. I wanted so bad for a memory to click or something to trigger it. This book was very well done and I commend Jessica on it, I'm sure it wasn't an easy one to write.

Grace moved closer, shifting her body so she could reach my face more easily. She ended up practically standing between my legs, brushing up against my injured one whenever she rinsed off the razor.
"Take a breath, Merrick. I haven't cut you. Not yet," she chuckled.
I breathed in her sweet scent, my head swimming with arousal. She had no idea what she was doing to me. All those months shaving with a tiny mirror stuck to the wall in my CHU had been frustrating as hell. I couldn't see shit in that thing. Now I very literally couldn't see shit and she was in front of me smelling like she did, being as gentle as she was, and all those memories didn't seem like such a horrible thing.
Because now I was experiencing something even more torturous.
She positioned the razor under my nose and expertly removed the coarse hair above my lip. What would she do if I just leaned in and devoured her mouth? Would I miss her lips completely or would she meet me halfway?
She gently turned my face and started on the other side. I didn't think having her shave my face would be this intimate. In fact, I was planning on it being annoying as hell since I thought she wouldn't really know what she was doing. Asking my mother had been an option, but I didn't want her leaving Mitch either.
"Almost there. You need a haircut, too." Her voice was rough and sexy, and I had to hold back a groan when it sent blood rushing straight to my groin. "I can style it for you so it stays out of your face, but I'm no good with cutting hair."
"That sounds good," I replied. God, if she didn't finish soon, I was going to do something stupid.
She raised my chin and carefully shaved my neck. When her fingers stroked my skin to check for any areas she missed, I swallowed thickly and lost the battle completely.
My injured and stiff hand found her wrist, slowly pulling the razor away from my skin. Her gasp sent my semi-erection shooting straight up to painfully hard. The skin of her wrist was like silk under my fingers, the tiny bones so fragile. I worried that if I was too insistent, I would hurt her with just a touch.
"Merrick?" she breathed, her sweet breath caressing my chin.
"Grace ..."
I felt her racing pulse under my fingers and pulled her forward until I could feel the heat of her face so close to mine. I raised my other hand to her waist and made a cautious path up, until I gripped the back of her neck. She didn't struggle or protest, and I hoped her accelerated breaths were telling me that she was feeling the same intense pull I was.
My dry throat finally found the strength to speak, even if it was just a whisper. "I would give anything to be able to see you right now." I pulled her face closer, until the tip of her nose touched mine. The sound of the razor falling to the floor, briefly registered in my mind.
I live in Morgan, Utah with my husband, beautiful daughter, and a couple of spoiled pups. If I'm not deeply involved in writing my next book, then I'm probably reading in the safety and quiet of my closet. I love yoga – which I now practice regularly – playing hide and seek with my daughter (only to have my hiding spots revealed by one of the pups), and I love Fruit by the Foot, Twizzlers and Peace Tea. These are great ways to bribe me into revealing secrets about what's to come.
I have an unhealthy obsession with Supernatural, The Walking Dead, and The Big Bang Theory. I also enjoy talking about them, so if you like them, too, come find me.
Writing has become an enormous part of my life and every book I write holds a special place in my heart. If you read one of my books, I hope you have the same experience.

The Wildflower and Her Shield
Sophia Andrews craves simplicity in the complex mosaic world of politics.
Damien Williams thrives in the complex environment of the Secret Service with great simplicity.
As their worlds collide, so do their feelings for each other.
Damien is her Shield. Sophia is his ever-rebellious Wildflower. His love and affection is her only wish and desire. Her safety is his prime concern. What happens when he tries to protect Sophia from the very world she exists in?
Will he choose his love for his job or his love for the woman he serves to protect? Will loving Damien hinder her own happiness? Can Sophia do what is expected of her, or will she take a stand?
Will the pomp that surrounds Sophia and Damien be the circumstance that will make their love UNSHAKABLE?
After growing up in the Philippines, I now live in California with my husband and two girls. My husband survived two bouts of cancer, AML Leukemia and Mucoid Carcinoma; hence, the inspiration for Unbreakable. I thank the good Lord for healing my husband, twice. It can’t get any better than that.
Our oldest, Andrea is a junior in APU. When she looks at my computer, the first thing out of her mouth is “Mom! What are you looking at? Dad!” Our youngest, Allysa is a freshman in high school. The few times she passed by me and looked over my shoulder when I was writing, her reaction was, “Mom! I’m telling dad!” There you have it; I have two double agents in my house. What happened to loyalty?
If my husband is the ying to my yang, Andrea is the Marlin to my Dory while Allysa is the Buzz Lightyear to my Woody. I love the beach, but I hate the sand; I love to travel, but I hate to fly; I love to eat but, I hate gaining weight (all women can relate to this); and so goes my little quirks in life.
Am I crazy? Well, the jury is still out on that one; however, I’d like to think if I can make one person smile with my craziness, it’s all worth it.
