STAY WITH ME TRAILER: EXCERPT: 
 As I lay there, trying to swallow a loud, obnoxious yawn, I remembered something he’d said when we first met, about life being too short. I imagined he had firsthand experience with shortened lives while he was serving. That mentality came from experience. I got that now. Could even understand it, but there was something I didn’t understand. “Why?” I asked. There was a beat. “Why what?” Jax sounded tired, and I should shut up or point out that I was now tired and could sleep, so he could leave. But I didn’t. “Why are you here? You don’t know me and . . .” I trailed off, because there really wasn’t anything left to say. A minute went by, and he hadn’t answered my question, and then I think another minute ticked on, and I was okay with him not answering because maybe he didn’t even know. Or maybe he was just bored and that was why he was here. But then he moved. Jax pressed against my back, and the next breath I took got stuck in my throat. My eyes shot open. The sheet and blanket were between us, but they felt like nothing. “What are you doing?” I asked. “Getting comfortable.” He dropped an arm over my waist, and my entire body jerked against his. “It’s time to sleep I think.” “But—” “You can’t sleep when you talk,” he remarked. “You don’t need to be all up on me,” I pointed out. His answering chuckle stirred the hair along the back of my neck. “Honey, I’m not all up on you.” I freaking begged to differ on that point. I started to wiggle away, but the arm around my waist tightened, holding me in place. “You’re not going anywhere,” he announced casually, as if he wasn’t holding me prisoner in the bed. Okay. The whole prisoner thing might be melodramatic, but he wasn’t letting me up. Not when he was getting all kinds of comfy behind me. Oh my God, this was spooning. Total spooning. I was spooning with an honorary member of the Hot Guy Brigade. Did I wake up in a parallel universe? “Sleep,” he demanded, as if the one word carried that much power. “Go to sleep, Calla.” This time his voice was softer, quieter. “Yeah, it doesn’t work that way, Jax. You have a nice voice, but it doesn’t hold the power to make me sleep on your command.” He chuckled. I rolled my eyes, but the most ridiculous thing ever was the fact that after a couple of minutes, my eyes stayed shut. I . . . I actually settled in against him. With his front pressed to my back, his long legs cradling mine, and his arm snug around my waist, I actually did feel safe. More than that, I felt something else—something I hadn’t felt in years. I felt cared for . . . cherished. Which was the epitome of dumb, because I barely knew him, but feeling that, recognizing what the warm, buzzing feeling was, I fell right asleep.   Stay With Me Teaser 2

 STAY WITH ME Synopsis: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You and Be with Me comes a daring tale that pushes boundaries . . . At 21, Calla hasn't done a lot of things. She’s never been kissed, never seen the ocean, never gone to an amusement park. But growing up, she witnessed some things no child ever should. She still carries the physical and emotional scars of living with a strung-out mother, Mona—secrets she keeps from everyone, including her close circle of college friends. But the safe cocoon Calla has carefully built is shattered when she discovers her mom has stolen her college money and run up a huge credit card debt in her name. Now, Calla has to go back to the small town she thought she’d left behind and clean up her mom’s mess again. Of course, when she arrives at her mother’s bar, Mona is nowhere to be found. Instead, six feet of hotness named Jackson James is pouring drinks and keeping the place humming. Sexy and intense, Jaxis in Calla’s business from the moment they meet, giving her a job and helping her search for Mona. And the way he looks at her makes it clear he wants to get horizontal . . . and maybe something more. Before Calla can let him get close, though, she’s got to deal with the pain of the past—and some very bad guys out to mess her up if she doesn't give them her mom.   Stay With Me Teaser 1

Rock Addiction by Nalini Singh Blog Tour and Review



Cover:  Rock Addiction (A Rock Kiss Novel) 

RELEASE DATE: September 9th, 2014

Blurb
A bad boy wrapped in a sexy, muscled, grown-up package might be worth a little risk…

Molly Webster has always followed the rules. After an ugly scandal tore apart her childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch that could become an addiction.

A one-night stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant to be…

Fox promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend their one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone forever, his life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin and sensual indulgence, all with an expiration date. No ties, no regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it isn’t only her body that’s become addicted to Fox, but her heart…




MY REVIEW:


WARNING:HOT  HOT  HOT!!

I think I’ve never said this before,but I’m a huge HUGE fan of nalini singh.Especially of her protective alpha males and strong minded heroines.I was really excited to read about rock addiction as it was very different from normal nalini books and I wondered whether it was going to be just as great as all her other ones.And believe me;it was that and more.Another hit by nalini singh!She has made me love her even more than I already do and that is a VERY difficult task.I loved the fact that she allowed us access to Fox’s mind as well as molly’s.It was interesting to say the least. The chemistry between them was WOW.The only problem I had was that with as little experience as Molly had,she went a little too easily with fox for my taste but I loved that fox was chasing after molly and not the other way round.I was getting tired of always reading books where the heroine is the one with the crush and embarrasses herself after the hero.The book is divided intio two parts,the first one where their relationship is a secret while the other one shows their struggle in the limelight with media attention.I thought that was really clever of Nalini as It provided a good contrast between the real world and their private lives.I totally went Awww at the ending. The secondary characters like Thea ,Charlotte and the other band members  all seem great and I’m hoping they’ll all have their own  stories too.This was a GREAT book and it was definitely worth the sleep I lost while reading it ;)



Excerpt from ROCK ADDICTION
by Nalini Singh

Fox hadn’t become the lead singer of one of the best-selling rock bands in history by being a shrinking violet. No, he went after what he wanted, no holds barred. And the raw promise he could feel between him and Molly? He had to know where it would lead, the need so strong he hadn’t felt anything like it since the day he’d figured out that music was his escape, the air in his lungs.
Which was why he was leaning against the wall beside Molly’s apartment at five that afternoon, a guitar by his side.
The elevator doors opened at a quarter after the hour, Molly going motionless two steps outside of it, the doors closing silently at her back. Yeah, she hadn’t expected him, but Fox was ready to work with that. Waiting patiently as she took a deep breath and completed the trek down the corridor, he drew in the scent of her, his gaze lingering on the fluttering pulse in her neck.
 “How did you get past security?”
Fox smiled slowly at the blurted-out question, wondering if Molly knew how bad she was at hiding her emotions. He liked it, liked that he saw the real Molly, not an illusion she’d created to tempt him—not that she had to do anything but smile to tempt him. “I told you the security sucks.”
Unable to resist, he reached out to run his finger down one creamy cheek flushed with a mix of surprise, passion, and, he was certain, sweet, hot feminine anger. His guess was borne out when Molly unlocked her door with jittery hands and put down her handbag on one corner of the bench, her fingers trembling before she curled them into her palms. “You’re breaking the rules.”
“What rules?” Closing the door, he leaned back on it and willed her to face him. Much as he loved the shape of her from the back, he liked watching those expressive eyes whisper her mood to him.
Shoulders tight, she turned. “This was supposed to be a one-night stand.”
“Ah.” Folding his arms over the plain black of his T-shirt, he said, “How about a one-month stand instead?” He knew he had to play this exactly right. Molly was wary of him, and yeah, he could understand why. To have her in his life beyond a fleeting instant, he’d have to win her trust.
She jerked up her head. “What?”
“Why not? I like you. You like me.” He smiled—because the reason Molly had needed to jerk up her head was that she’d been staring at his chest. “Admit it.”
Sitting down on the bench, she began to unzip her boots, very obviously not looking at him. “You’re okay for a rock star.”
He wanted to bite her, then pet her until she was limp and languid in his arms. “We burn up together.” Deliberately modulating his voice—his instrument—for maximum effect, low and bedroom rough, he saw her fingers stutter on the zipper. “I’m here for a month. It’s an easy equation.”
When the words “Let me think about it” fell from her mouth, he thought she might’ve been as startled as he was, her lips parting on a slight gasp—as if to call back the declaration.

  Wicked

Isn't it Gorgeous??I just LOVE it! 

Amazon

WICKED Synopsis: Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans. Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart. Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her. But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.   Author Photo

COVER REVEAL:UNPLUGGED BY Lisa Swallow




TITLE: Unplugged (Blue Phoenix, #3)
AUTHOR: Lisa Swallow 
RELEASE DATE: September 29th 
GENRE: Contemporary Romance  






Synopsis

"A rock star doesn't return to his humble beginnings and whisk away the girl he

kissed once. Especially if she has a four year old and her relationship status is 'it's 

complicated'."

Blue Phoenix bass player, Liam Oliver discovers pictures of his fiancée with 

another man and his world crashes around him. He packs up his humiliation and 

hurt and flies back to his Welsh family home for Christmas.

Cerys Edwards once had pictures of Liam Oliver covering her bedroom wall. Her 

best friend’s big brother never gave her the time of day when they were growing 

up. When she was fifteen, he left town leaving Cerys with her fantasies. Now he’s 

back. The problem is, she has a daughter and a broken relationship of her own.

In the world of his Christmas past, Cerys and Liam reconnect. Are they two hurt 

people looking for comfort in a time of heartbreak or does Cerys have a place in 

Liam’s future too? 

Months later and unplugged from his Blue Phoenix lifestyle, Liam reconnects 

with Cerys. He discovers Cerys’s world is full of complications he never expected 

– including Ella’s father who isn’t happy about being replaced by a rock star. 

Unplugged is more than a rock star romance. Liam isn’t dark and brooding like 

Dylan, or a bad boy like Jem but a fiercely loyal man with a big heart. This is a 

story of love, family and unexpected bonds made that can’t be broken. 

This is book three of the Blue Phoenix series. It can be read as a standalone but has 

minor spoilers for books one and two.


Extract



Our faces touch, his rough cheek against my forehead, and I know if I 

move my head a few centimetres, our mouths will meet and our worlds will shift.

"Is kissing you still wrong?" I ask.

"Your lips are meant to be on mine." He moves his face. The static 

charge of our mouths so close and the snow drifting onto our bodies drag us 

into a surreal world. The shift happens. I slide my cheek along his, the stubble 

scratching my skin as my lips meet the edge of his.

The world is covered in white, hidden from reality; a reality that I hate 

currently. I can escape for an evening, maybe a few days, and allow his blizzard 

to overwhelm me. If life is the same struggle when everything melts away again, 

a few moments lost in a fantasy after months of feeling worthless are what I need 

and worth the consequences.

Liam digs his hand into my hair and crashes his mouth against mine. 

I gasp in surprise at the force as he delves his tongue into my mouth, sliding 

against mine. When Liam kissed me in the bedroom the other day, there was a 

tension in him where he held back part of himself. Was this because Liam knew 

I did too? This time the world falls away completely as we kiss frantically, noses 

bumping as he pulls me into the snowstorm that is Liam Oliver. 

Liam moves to kiss my cheeks, a delicious scrape against my skin as his 

hot lips burn into my cool neck. He slides a hand around my waist, beneath my 

coat and holds me against him. Convinced my legs are going to give way and 

cursing the lack of walls for Liam to press me against, I grip his sleeve. 

Liam nudges his nose back across my face, hot breath mingling with mine 

and misting in the air. “Definitely feels right,” he whispers.

Then Liam kisses me so gently that he takes my soul and pulls it apart. My 

head spins as the intensity of the slow kiss fills me with a craving for this man 

that will never be satiated. This is more than feeling right, this is our hearts open 

and raw finding their way together.

Which means when they’re torn apart again the pain will kill me. 

The heat we create counteracts the falling temperature around us but the 


cold of reality isn't far. I pull my face away; I need to pull myself out of this.
