Book Tour for I’m With the Band by Tanith Davenport (REVIEW & GIVEAWAY)…..

Readers will find this a quick and entertaining rockstar romance, one of the sentimentality of second chances amidst looking back on the past with fondness.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of I’m With the Band by Tanith Davenport, along with my impressions of it, then learn even more about this book by visiting the other sites hosting this tour.  In honor of this third installment in the Rock My world series, make sure to fill out the form below for the chance to win a $10 bookstore GC too!

When filmmaker Tawny Michaels is asked to make a documentary about recently re-formed band Greycomet, she already knows who she’ll have to face – her ex-boyfriend Marsh Kilmer, lead singer of the band. In the ten years they’ve been apart Tawny has been happy with nothing but flings, choosing to avoid relationships, but Marsh’s only regret is losing her – and he’s determined to win her back, no matter what.
Knowing the production company is in the financial hole and finding herself still attracted to Marsh, Tawny decides to go along for the ride, but their passionate reunion hits trouble when the documentary attracts a stalker who has been relentlessly chasing the band. Tawny finds herself hiding out with Marsh, fighting to keep her business afloat while keeping herself safe – but soon realises her safety is the last thing on her mind. Can she forgive Marsh the past and trust him with her heart?


EXCERPT:

“Ready, Dani?” Tawny asked, just as a reminder to Lola that she was the one in charge, thank you very much. “Keep the camera on Marsh for now.”
“Ready to go.” Dani held a hand up alongside the camera, three fingers aloft. “Three, two, one.”
“So what made you decide to do this documentary?” Lola asked. The tone of her voice was a little off, almost excited, and Tawny eyed her suspiciously.
Marsh tilted his head, shrugging. “The band and I are entering a new phase of working. We’re ready to look back over our past as well as turn towards the future.”
“Look back over the past...” Lola paused, although to Tawny it didn’t seem as though she needed to think about her next question. “Do you have any regrets from your past?”
Marsh glanced across at Tawny. “Many things happened in the course of my career that I’m proud of. But I also lost a lot of people along the way. And some of them I will always regret losing.”
A stone seemed to settle in Tawny’s stomach.
“You’ve had a varied career,” Lola commented coolly. “And now you’re releasing a greatest hits album. Would you say that and the documentary are intended to rejuvenate a failing career?”
What?
Tawny’s gaze snapped towards Lola at the same time as Marsh’s did, but Marsh spoke first.
“This interview is over.”
And, holding up one hand towards the camera, he stalked out of the room, brushing past Tawny on his way.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

Fans of rockstar romances will find this a steamy and emotional tale of second chances amidst the cold hard truth of addiction that seems to permeate the music world.  There's a feeling of sentimentality radiating off the lead couple, and the remaining bandmates, and it led to painful recollections of their past that have them questioning the here and now.

Overall, the story has a superficial feeling to it as there's no deep delving into what happened between the hero and heroine years ago.  Being told what happened as opposed to being part of the action took away some of the emotional impact.  The few steamy scenes depicted took on a superficial tone too, though there was still a feeling of playfulness that alluded to their long-term connection.  Regardless...the interactions between Tawny and Marsh definitely grabbed my attention, leaving me curious while rooting for them to make a comeback...as a couple and as emotionally-healed individuals.  The three remaining bandmates had me longing to know more about them too as the storyline surrounding them is timely and compelling.  While this story didn't go as deep as I'd hoped it would, it definitely gave me hours of afternoon delight that made me blush while warming my heart.

My rating for this is a B-

Can a wager to find a wife turn into a true love match?
Entered into a wager that he can wed within a week, Captain Alex Bancroft pursues the first pretty woman he meets: Miss Emma Washer. Their courtship proceeds at a furious pace, including a dalliance that might ruin them both. Before it can, Alex proposes and is stunned when Emma agrees to marry him. Alex desperately tries to keep word of the wager from his new wife, not knowing Emma has secrets of her own to keep.
As passion erupts between the newly wed pair, the circumstances of Emma’s past threaten to tear them asunder. Alex’s regiment is directed to sail to a place Emma dares not go.
She refuses to accompany him, leaving Alex with a devastating choice: leave England to fulfil duty to Queen and country or stay and revel in his newfound love for his wife?

EXCERPT:

As soon as they reached the flowered arbor, Emma ducked into its shadowy depths. Its coolness came as a welcomed surprise and the perfume of the overhanging blooms made her head spin with the heavy scent. Alex held the swing and she sank onto it gratefully. Between the heat without, the sudden coolness within, the intense sweetness of the flowers, and Alex’s presence, her head had begun to spin. She glanced up at him and patted the seat by her. “Will you sit beside me?”
“In a moment, perhaps.” He strode to the edge of the bower and peered down the path they’d just taken. His head moved back and forth as he scanned the garden, then apparently satisfied with what he saw, Alex turned back to her. “Good. It seems we are very much alone.”
Emma’s eyes widened and her breath caught in her throat as he dropped gracefully to one knee and took her hand.
“We have known one another for only a matter of days, Emma, but I believe you to be the loveliest woman of my acquaintance. Sweet, kind, beautiful...” He grinned. “And the tiniest bit naughty, making you the perfect woman for me.”
Gazing into his deep blue eyes staring so intently at her, Emma could scarcely breathe beyond little hitching gasps. Was this real? Was she about to hear the question she’d longed to answer ever since seeing him...was it only three days ago? Her hands trembled in his grip. Dear God, don’t let her faint.

Book Blitz for The Highlander’s Enchantress by Violetta Rand (GIVEAWAY)……….


A strong willed heroine finds herself held captive in the middle of nowhere, forming a bond to an unexpected man, while dealing with the cruel machinations of her father.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of The Highlander’s Enchantress by Violetta Rand, then add it to your bookshelf.  In honor of this enticing historical romance make sure to fill out the form below for the chance to win a $15 Amazon GC too!

If her cruel and domineering father were to be believed, Kali Bane is the worst of women. Defiant. Independent. Were it not for her beloved younger sisters, she would have sought her freedom long ago. When she refuses to wed an old, wine-soaked English lord, her father bans her to the McKay clan in the Highlands, warning them that she’s a witch.
There is no welcome at the McKay castle—only an aging laird prone to fits of temper who believes that Kali is, in fact, a witch. A sorceress. Here she is little more than a hostage, kept from sight from almost all but Adam McKay, the laird’s son, whose hypnotic green eyes make her long for something forbidden. It’s almost enough to make her abandon all thoughts of escape.
Kali is the only one who can protect her sisters from their father’s greedy machinations. But the longer she remains imprisoned in the McKay tower, the more Kali and Adam realize there are other forces at play. They’re both pieces in a silent, terrible game that could destroy everyone they’ve ever loved…including each other.

EXCERPT:

She thought of everything she had learned while in the north, all the people she had grown close to, the confidence she had found. She shook herself free from the guards and straightened her spine, holding her head high. “If I were in a nunnery, ye’d accuse me of being a whore, Father. There is no reasoning with ye.”
Bane’s face turned bright red as he slipped from the saddle and came to stand in front of her. “Ye have a wicked tongue, girl.” He slapped her hard across the face, but she didn’t react, stood her ground as bravely as any soldier facing his worst enemy.
He smacked her again. And when she didn’t cry out, he did it again to her other cheek. Not hard enough to leave a bruise, but hard enough to hurt.
“Ye’ve grown more frigid in the north,” her sire said.
“I’ve no’ grown cold, only stronger against a monster as ye.”
Valiantly, she held his gaze—caring little for what else he’d do to her. Let these strangers who accompanied him here see him for what he truly was.
 He shook his head. “None of it matters anymore,” he said. “Lord Nelson and these fine men have accompanied me here to make sure ye do as I bid. In three days, ye will marry Lord Nelson right here with Laird MacKay standing as witness. And in return for his loyalty, I will give yer sister Ariana in marriage to the MacKay. That way, our interests in the north and south are guaranteed.”
“No!” She wanted to maim him, to kill him. Betrothing his middle daughter to such a beast would kill Ariana. “How could ye hate us so much? Are we not yer own flesh and blood?”
Bane gripped her chin cruelly and turned her face. “Aye, ye are me daughter. I willna deny it. But ye are a willful harpy—unworthy of me tenderness. Ariana is a little better. But Keara, she is a gentle lass...perhaps the pearl of me heart.”
“W-what will ye do with Keara?”
“Well now,” her sire said manipulatively, “that depends on how ye conduct yerself from here on, girl.”
Once again, he played her, baited her, and controlled her with threats. He knew her weaknesses, her strengths. How to build her up and tear her down. How to silence her forever...

My future is planned, and it doesn't include a relationship.
The last one destroyed me. I was in love...but she was in love with my money. So, I'm done with that.
Instead, I'm throwing my energy into mentoring the younger players on the team and planning for the end of my NHL career. Since I only speak in three word sentences, my next move is going to shock everyone.
Once I hang my skates up, I want to be a full-time country singer/songwriter. No one knows that I write music and perform, but I'm cocky enough to know it’ll happen. I’ve got the talent. I’ve got the drive. Nothing is going to stand in my way.

It's in physical therapy where I meet her. Kingsley. She's the best therapist around and if anyone can get me singing again, it's her. But the more time I spend with her, the more I have to remind myself of my no-relationships rule.
And when I enter a songwriting contest, it turns out, Kingsley has entered too.
Now crushes don’t matter. She's my competition.

The instant connection that sparked in Booker continues in a way that no one expected...
This is the third time my life has fallen apart.
What I had pretended to be in the past is now banging on the door of my present.
After living so many different lives, each one is a more faded version of myself. Who am I now? Who do I want to be?
Does Sam feel my body desperately reaching for his?
I don’t know who I am if I don’t mean anything to Kat.
After Kat dropped a bomb on my life, I’m filling my time with parties and fake shit. I need something else to keep me going. Something that won’t make me think about her.
I’m somehow still tied to her. Like our connection is too tightly knotted to be unwound.
I will always, always crawl back to her. Wherever she is.

EXCERPT:

I flick open my messaging app where Kat’s text still sits, unanswered. Like a ticking time bomb.
I’ve reread it over and over again, picking apart the five little words that glaze over absolutely everything. How dare she reach out to me? How dare she make me want to respond?
My body is reaching for hers, but my mind . . . I scrub the scar on my scalp in frustration . . . my mind is a fucking mess. I don’t know what I want. I want her to feel terrible for lying to me. I hate her for it. I want to know why she lied, if she has a kid somewhere, where her husband is.
I want her to feel as tortured as I feel. No. More tortured.
I also want to make sure she’s all right. That she’s safe. That the press have left her alone. That her husband hasn’t found her.

Book Blurb Blitz for The Warlord's Stormy Skye by Gail Kroger (GIVEAWAY)……


Readers will be drawn to this sci-fi story of a strong and sassy heroine with psychic and magical abilities who's being hunted down by a crazed witch who transformed herself into a spider...along with sexy alien males hoping to claim her as their mate.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of The Warlord's Stormy Skye by Gail Kroger, then learn even more about this witty and steamy rom-com by visiting the other sites hosting this tour.  In honor of this seventeenth installment in the Coletti Warlords series make sure to fill out the form below for the chance to win a $20 bookstore GC too!

My name is Skye McAllister, I’m a psychic witch and a healer. My life is a rollercoaster ride of craziness. My unique electrical powers have a bunch of alien males eyeing me like I’m prime rib at an all-you-can-eat banquet.
If that wasn’t bad enough, a crazy old witch transformed herself into a half-human Kotsor spider and is trying to kill me with hexes, magical bombs, and her zillion hatchlings. Have you ever tried to disarm an enchanted bomb with space Neanderthals trying to claim you as their mate? It’s a good way to die.
To keep me alive, Zarek, the Coletti Overlord, assigned me a partner. Vorian is a badass War Commander who is used to people obeying him immediately. Like that’s going to happen. I will admit he’s sex on two legs, and so damn pretty. But if I let my hormones dictate my actions, we’d be bound for life. Not happening.
Once we rid the galaxy of Mallox and the evil spider lady, I’m ditching his fine ass.


EXCERPT:

I winced. I had let my temper get the best of me and now my energy levels were dangerously low. Which meant I’d have to drink Vorian’s blood to disarm Marion’s nasty little traps. Ugh. Plus, if I didn’t find a way to stop them, my rabid suitors were going to get me killed. Talk about a rock and a hard place. If the price of saving Earth was becoming Coletti until I could conjure up a cure, so be it. I took a deep breath and gestured at the onyx ownership band Vorian held in his left hand. “How do you put that thing on?”
The War Commander stared at me in surprise. “You are prepared to become my mate?”
The thought of having sex with any male made me sick to my stomach. “I thought human females disgusted you. This will be a platonic partnership, nothing more.” I held out my hand. “Deal?”
Vorian’s eyes narrowed speculatively, then he took my hand. “Deal.” I looked at Zarek and raised an inquiring eyebrow.
A faint smile on his face, Zarek nodded. “I have no objections.”
“The copper etchings state you belong to me,” Vorian said as he fastened the band around my throat. “Oh yay! What I’ve always wanted. My very own dog collar.” It adjusted to fit my neck perfectly.
Vorian expelled a long breath. “Most females consider it an honor to be chosen.”
“I’m not most females.”

Book Release Blitz for How to Win The Girl by Sara Ney (REVIEW)……

 Twin brothers find their hearts in different corners in this charming contemporary tale with a tad bit of Cyrano thrown into the mix.  Keep reading to get a tempting taste of How to Win The Girl by Sara Ney, along with my impressions of it, then add this second installment in the Campus Legends series to your bookshelf!

I, Drake Colter, solemnly swear I do not want a girlfriend...Carefree and ridiculously good-looking, I have the entire student body eating from the palm of my hand—shouldn’t I let the ladies on campus have their fill rather than being tied down?
If only my brother Drew would take notes from my playbook. As identical twins, we share the same voice, the same face, and the same physique; it’s virtually impossible to tell us apart—but that’s where the similarities end.
Lately, my brother has been whining about wanting to settle down. He longs for affection, companionship and all the bullshit that goes along with it blah blah blah.
Problem is, he’s hopeless when it comes to dating. It’s seriously embarrassing to watch, considering we’re identical; everyone thinks I’m him and everyone thinks he’s me.
Luckily I’m not intimidated by women and have plenty of experience. I might not want to find myself a girlfriend, but that doesn't mean I can’t help him. Dude never needs to know!
And that’s the very thing that lands me in trouble...

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

After reading the first installment in the Campus Legends series I knew I had to read the next release...and for the most part this book was an enjoyable one.  The author has a fun and easy writing style, giving readers crackling banter and appealing characters.  It's a quick read, one that made me smile while warming my heart and making me blush.

With this book readers get a modern-day twist on Cyrano de Bergerac as one brother tries to help his twin get the girl but ends up falling for her himself after accidentally swiping her pic on a dating app he created to help his brother find love.  The road to HEA may be paved with good intentions, but things get complicated the more he tries to help his brother, the deeper the hole he digs for himself while pretending to be his brother.  Drake's a bit complicated at the start of the story, a bit cocky and arrogant, someone loving his bachelor lifestyle and reveling in all the female attention.  His twin brother Drew though is ready to find love and with how close he is to his twin he sets out to help him find true love.  That's the part of Drake I loved, the one who would do anything for family.  Deep down he has a good heart, it just takes the right woman to bring it out.

Luckily, fate has other plans for Drake as it's only by accident that he winds up with Daisy.  She's a strong and sassy heroine, someone who doesn't tolerate BS, and is the perfect balance in keeping Drake a bit more humble.  Face to face they rubbed each other wrong, but by accident (and through texts) their connection was obvious.  Their connection crackled from the very start with flirty texts and the aura of sexual tension surrounding them.  With the issue of his pretending to be someone else thankfully dealt with early on, Drake and Daisy are given ample time to write their own love story.  They were a steamy pair with a road to HEA that was a laid-back journey with a tad bit of drama, Drake discovering new things about himself, while intriguing tidbits were left behind regarding Drew that have me excited for his story to be told next.  While this installment wasn't quite as good as the last, it still pulled me in and left me feeling happy and satisfied by the turn of the final page!

My rating for this is a B+
