Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: April 23, 2018

 

Blurb
Every person has a story to tell. Some may be sweet with a
happily ever after, but there are others that end in tragedy. Mine has yet to
be finished. My name is Elizabeth Kingston and this is where my story begins.
I never thought my life could be so perfect. I have an
amazing job owning my own bakery, and a wonderful husband who I love and who
loves me back. Never once did I have to worry about anything, at least, not
until the texts started coming in. They always begin the same way … numbers
that spell my nickname when read upside down.
31773
It’s someone from my past, only they won’t to tell me who
they are, but that by talking to them, I’ll figure it out. It’s a game I refuse
to play. Unfortunately, I’m left with no choice when things begin to take a
dangerous turn. His name is Anonymous and there’s only one thing he wants … ME.

Excerpt

It’s closing time and Vikki and I are busy cleaning, so we
can get home. My phone beeps with an incoming text and I look down at it and growl.
“You can’t be serious.” Staring back at me isn’t a text from Jake, but from
Anonymous. Even though I deleted and blocked the number ninety days ago, I
still recognize it.
Vikki moves closer, her eyes wide. “What’s going on?”
I show her the text.
Anonymous: 31773?
Brows furrowed, she sits back. “What does that mean?” I turn
my phone upside down, so she can see that the number spells out my name. Her
eyes widen. “Wow, that’s cool you can type your name with numbers.”
“But not so cool when I don’t know who the person is,” I
counter. “About three months ago, I got texts from this exact same person.
Whoever it is likes to play games. I’m sick of it and I want them to leave me
alone.” Taking a deep breath, I type out a reply.
Me: WHO IS THIS?
Anonymous: Why
all the yelling?
I roll my eyes. This is just ridiculous.
Me: I like using
all caps.
Anonymous: Don’t
stop on my account. So, what have you been up to? Been a while since we talked.

Me: Yeah, it’s
because I blocked the number.
Anonymous: Why?
Me: BECAUSE I
DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!!
“What is he saying?” Vikki asks. I show her the texts and
her eyes widen. “So, you haven’t talked to him since you blocked the number?”
I think back to when I blocked it and if my calculations are
correct, the ninety days was up yesterday. “No, but he has perfect timing. My
ninety days ran up yesterday. I might need to run to the cell store and see if
they can block it permanently.”
My phone beeps again and a sharp pain settles in my gut. I
just want whoever it is to leave me alone.
Anonymous: That
hurts. You’ve always been friendly toward me.
Me: Obviously not
friendly enough, if you can’t tell me who you are. It’s weird and it makes me
uncomfortable. You need to leave me the hell alone. Don’t text, call, or try to
contact me in any way. I’m happily married, and I want it to stay that way.
GOODBYE!
Heart racing, I log into my cell phone account and before I
can block the number, another text comes through.
Anonymous: Sorry
31773 but that’s not going to happen.
The blood in my veins runs cold. Hands shaking, I block his
number and my phone drops onto the table. Vikki picks it up and reads the final
text, her face growing pale.
“I don’t think this person’s going away.”

My Review…

Wow! This book hooked me from the get go! I couldn’t put it down!

This story is really about Ellie, but this so much more than just a romance, this is suspense, this is a real who done it!

Ellie is tormented by random texts from a stranger (or so she thinks!) Unfortunately it’s someone even closer than she could even imagine.

The twists and turns in this story had me guessing, just when I think I had the answer, BOOM, I was wrong. L.P. really keeps you on your toes with this story.  You really have to take your time reading because there are clues from the get go and if you just try to breeze through it, you will lose vital clues to who the real evil is.

Ellie and Jake’s love is true, the smexy times between them are hot.  I like that there wasn’t an overabundance of steamy times because this story was such a mystery and it was just the right balance.

There are many shady characters that could easily be the one tormenting Ellie and I really enjoyed how the story played out. This story grabbed me by the throat and I was turning pages and staying up waaaay too late to try to get as much of the story in before sleep took me.  That to me is a true testament of a good book.

Get this story, really read it and see if you can figure out who it is! It’s a shocker but when you do find out, you will see there was hints the whole time!

Thank you so much for this book L.P.! It was fascinating!

Moving two thousand miles away wasn’t my plan, but when family needs you, you come.
Before I can head back to my hometown of Chicago though, I have two men to say good-bye to in Los Angeles. Neither one of them will be happy to hear the news. One is losing his assistant and the other his seven-year-old daughter. Neither will be an easy sell on my part, but I have no choice, and I’m not exactly thrilled with starting over with a Clean Slate.
This is a PREQUEL to our Charity Case Series.

When I started this blog, I did it purely for the joy of promoting my love of reading and my love of authors! So when I receive a gift from an author as a thank you, well that’s just the cherry on top of my sundae!

So imagine my surprise when I received this today!

After a crazy week, including surgery, this made my day!

Thank you Susana Mohel!

Manic Monday, an all-new hilarious and romantic standalone from Piper Rayne, is coming April 26th!

PRManicMondayBookCover5x8_BW_300

Title: Manic Monday

Authors: Piper Rayne

Publishing Date: April 26th

Cover Designer: RBA Designs

The perfect man for me is a blood-sucking lawyer. #pfftwhatever

Been there.

Done that.

Burned the T-shirt.

I didn’t swear off all men after my divorce, but I sure as hell swore off anyone remotely like my ex. On the top of that list? Attorneys. Everyone knows they can’t be trusted.

Now that I’m back in Chicago, my focus is my daughter, my mom and me. I haven’t given up on finding my happily-ever-after, it’s just on hold—indefinitely.

Then I see Reed Warner again, and he weasels his way into every part of my life, not willing to take no for an answer.

In spite of my better judgment I can’t stop thinking about the way his designer suits fit his muscular frame, or the way his blue eyes seem to eat me up with every glance.

You know when you’re on a diet and even hummus seems irresistible? Reed is like the equivalent of chocolate éclair and my willpower is fading fast.

The problem? Not only is he a lawyer…

He was the best man at my wedding.

New York’s Finest
Blogging as *The Socialmedialite*

April 22
LADIES AND GENTS! I have an announcement!
You know that guy I featured on my blog a few months ago? The really, really hot Irish rugby player who plays the position of ‘hooker’ in the RLI (Rugby League International)? The one with the anger management issues, the body of a gladiator and the face of a movie star? The one with the questionable fashion choices leading me to ask whether he was the lovechild of a leprechaun and a hobbit? Ronan Fitzpatrick? Yeah, that guy. Well, I have a confession to make…

THE HERMIT
Annie Catrel, social media expert extraordinaire at Davidson & Croft Media and clandestine celebrity blogger, can make anyone shine in the court of public opinion. She is the Socialmedialite, anonymous creator of New York’s Finest and the internet’s darling. Virtual reality is Annie’s forte, but actual reality? Not so much.

THE HOOKER
Ronan Fitzpatrick, aka the best hooker the world of rugby has seen in decades, despises the media—social or otherwise. The press has spun a web of lies depicting him as rugby’s wild and reckless bad boy. Suspended from his team, Ronan has come to Manhattan to escape the drama, lay low, fly under the radar. Only, Ronan isn’t easy to overlook, and he can’t escape the notice of the Socialmedialite…

THE PLAN
When Ronan is sent to Davidson & Croft Media to reshape his public image, he never expects to cross paths with shy but beautiful Annie, nor does he expect his fierce attraction to her. He couldn’t be happier when her boss suggests pairing them together.
What lengths will Annie take to keep her virtual identity concealed? And what happens when the hooker discovers who the hermit really is?

The Hooker and the Hermit is a collaboration between authors L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid, is a full length 110k word novel, and is a standalone.

Today I have the blog tour for STAR by BB Easton. STAR is available for #FREE on Kindle Unlimited. Grab your copy today!

Title: STAR
Author: BB Easton
Series: 44 Chapters
Release: April 12, 2018

About STAR

Because BB Easton had so much fun writing her best-selling, award-winning memoir, 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, she decided to give each of her four men his own steamy stand-alone. STAR is Hans’s book—a real-life rock star romance…with a twist.

In 1999, Brooke “BB” Bradley met her Prince Charming. He was the tall, tattooed, wickedly handsome bass player for the up-and-coming rock band, Phantom Limb. But, more importantly, he was hers. She knew it the moment he flashed her that shy, dimpled smile.

And he knew it too.

Hansel “Hans” Oppenheimer wore his heart on one sleeve and scrawled lyrics about BB on the other. Unlike the assholes of her past, he showered her with tenderness, took her places she’d never been before, and showed her the type of all-consuming love she’d thought only existed in fairy tales.

But, like any good fairy tale, BB’s road to happily ever after was paved with challenges, and right when she least expected it…it forked.

In 1999, Brooke “BB” Bradley met her Prince Charming.

In 2000, she met her soul mate.

Wishing Well RD-5

Just when I think there is no way to top her last book Lily does it again! So many twist and turns, so many emotions. This story puts your heart through the wringer!

What a beautifully twisted story this was!

When you start to read you mind goes in just the direction Lily wants you to, just like Vincent played Penny’s mind.  The story varies between flashbacks and current day but it flows so smoothly.  The alternate POV’s where amazing, it really brought you into the twisted mind of Vincent and the unbreakable spirit of Penny and the chaos that is Meadow’s.

Then Lily goes on to do something that rarely happens for me, she makes me fall hard for a character that wasn’t meant to be fallen for.  She does it so brilliantly that you don’t even see it coming.

And talking about not seeing things coming! This book has surprise after surprise that leaves you actually gasping! (Yes I totally gasped at certain parts, freaking my family out!) I will not do the reader a disservice by spoiling anything but I promise that once you finish this story, you will go back and read it again immediately with a fresh set of eyes and mindset!

Yet again Lily is in the running to be on my Fave Books of 2018!  She has yet to write something that hasn’t totally consumed me!

Your stories are amazing!  Please don’t ever stop writing! I can’t wait to devour what comes next!
