I have nowhere left to fall… I’ll never be King. But being sixth in line is both a blessing and a curse. My birth order affords me the privilege of loving whomever I choose, even if she’s a free-spirited rock star. She loves me back and that’s all the power I’ll ever need. Yet, the future of the kingdom lies in the hands of my asshole cousin, who will absolutely lead our country into a civil war if he takes the throne. I wish I could ignore the fact that the first-born son of the King is the last person who should rule. If I could, I would focus on making Casey Hart mine and building a life with the girl I’ve loved most of my life. But fate has other plans… and the Kingdom isn’t the only thing at risk of falling.

About the Author: USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast. A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible. Kat’s been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article–a review of a rock concert–for $10 in 1985. Since then she’s been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles. As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance… Connect with Kat: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/authorkatmizera/ Amazon: http://amzn.to/2lzRBG6 Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuthorKatMiz Bookbub: http://bit.ly/2li6zRe Website: http://www.katmizera.com

Teaser: Testarossa by JD Cary

A good detective sees what’s there. A great one sees what isn’t…

Testarossa by JD Cary releases on September 24th!

Things are never what they seem; especially in police work.

John Testarossa is an LAPD cop with an NYPD attitude who has seen it all. The dead, the dying and the decomposing are all in a day’s work for the red-headed Italian from Brooklyn.

After an arm rolls up on a Santa Monica beach, and the dead body to which the arm was once attached is discovered, John and his partner, Alex Ortiz, enter the world of college sports, athletes, and the illegal drugs that enhance their performance.

Rage and revenge come together in a toxic cocktail John is all too familiar with. It defined him as a young boy, and ultimately still does as a man. He carries a dark secret.

It is in the beautiful Dr. Karen Gennaro—who has a few secrets of her own— that John finds a soft place to land. Even as he knows all too well what falling in love with a cop can do to a woman.

What sustains this hard-boiled detective is the bond he shares with his brave and dedicated partners. When that bond is destroyed in a senseless act of violence, will his past, and a desire for vengeance, destroy him?

From Los Angeles, where Venice Beach, Marina del Rey, and the dream of Abbot Kinney’s Venice Canals paint a picture of bliss, Testarossa will take you on a deeper, darker journey.

AmyHatvany_TellMeEverything_FinalEbook.jpg

A happily married couple. A dance with a stranger at a bar.

One night—one seemingly insignificant choice—can change everything.

Jessica and Jake Snyder love each other, and their life together. Successful in their chosen careers, they reside in the picturesque, though at times stifling, Seattle suburb of Queens Ridge as they parent teenagers Ella and Tucker.

As so often happens in marriage, their romantic life falls casualty to busy schedules and repetitive routine, until one night, a stranger asks Jessica to dance. On a whim, Jake urges her to say yes, saying that he wants to watch this other man touch her, something that surprises Jessica by arousing her like never before. A door opens for them then, into a realm of exploration neither of them knew existed.

They create rules to protect their marriage, and are thrilled when their relationship is strengthened and enriched by deeper levels of communication and trust brought about by this exciting, but taboo behavior. That is, until Jessica keeps a secret from Jake and embarks on a tryst with an intriguing man from her past, who, when she tries to end things between them, decides to seek revenge.

What happens after that will threaten to destroy their world—and them.

A juicy and insightful look into the shifting definition of modern marriage and the limits placed upon female sexuality, TELL ME EVERYTHING will make you question everything you thought you knew about what constitutes marital bliss, and keep you turning pages into the night.

About Amy Hatvany

Amy Hatvany graduated with a degree in Sociology only to discover most sociologists are unemployed. Soon followed a variety of jobs – some of which she loved, like decorating wedding cakes; others which she merely tolerated, like receptionist. In 1998, Amy finally decided to sell her car, quit her job, and take a chance on her passion: writing books. Her background in sociology inspires and informs much of her work as she tackles timely and controversial issues in her novels including mental illness, domestic abuse, and alcoholism. She is published by Washington Square Press/Atria Books, and has been both a Target Book Club and Costco Pennie’s Pick. Amy spends most of her time today with her kids and her second and final husband, Stephan. (Seriously, if this one doesn’t work out, she’s done, kaput, no more husbands!) When Amy’s not with friends or family, she is most likely reading, cooking, or zoning out on certain reality television shows. She eagerly awaits Bravo auditions for the cast of “Top Author.” (“Quick Edit” instead of “Quick Fire” Challenge? C’mon, producers! That’s gripping television!)

Cover Reveal: Bad Fiance by Elise Faber

This fake marriage never felt so real…

Bad Fiancé by Elise Faber
Release Date: October 6

Sera used to believe in happily ever afters.

Well, she still believed in them. Just not for her.

For Seraphina Delgado, finding a man who loved her for who she was inside, rather than simply appreciating her outward appearance, had proved to be impossible.

She wasn’t trying to be cocky—cock, ha—but she was beautiful. So beautiful, in fact, that she’d spent her childhood and tween years modeling and shooting commercials and . . . well, only being appreciated for the way she looked.

And that was more curse than advantage because looks faded. People aged, wrinkles formed, boobs sagged . . .

Anyway, none of that mattered because no man ever saw who she truly was on the inside.

Until Tate.

He was more interested in software than her cup size and had hired her to help him find a house. He didn’t care about her looks or her boobs, only her abilities as a real estate agent.

But then he showed up in her office with a crazy proposition. One so crazy, it almost made sense.

He wanted them to get married.

And Sera thought she just might agree.

Blog Tour w/Review: The Good Neighbor by Cathryn Grant

I picked this book up expecting it to be a decent psychological thriller with the ever-popular “shocking twist.” What I got was a lot more than that.

On the surface, The Good Neighbor is about a missing girl and how the community (one neighbor in particular) comes together to help find her. On another level, however, there are astute observations about homeschooling, social media, and society as a whole that gave this book tremendous depth.

Being a homeschooling mom myself, I am always a little suspicious when I see it as a plot point. Is the author going to do it justice, or go with a stereotype? I was pleased to find that this author knows her stuff. Whether she homeschools herself or spoke with homeschooling families, she perfectly captured so many aspects of the experience.

Brittany’s observations about her homeschooled peers were especially true-to-life. While they may be more advanced in book knowledge, there is a large number of students who falter at social situations and lack common sense knowledge gained through peers.

She also described a significant attraction of homeschooling – the ability to focus on what interests a student and complete guided learning instead of having to do rote memorization or be distracted by 30 other students.

Obviously, I was impressed with how the author handled this sometimes controversial topic. But I digress from the actual plot.

I thought the author also had some accurate reflections on social media and its impact on society, which was illustrated by Taylor’s obsession with her Facebook page. I found it interesting that the more Taylor wanted to build community within her neighborhood, the more she seemed to bastardize it for her purposes, which brought her motives into question.

As with all of my reviews, you will not find any reveals or spoilers here. But I will say that the book went in a different direction than I expected it to more than a few times. And the shocking twist? Yeah, it’s in there. And that is what ultimately made it an excellent read.

The Good Neighbor

The Good Neighbor by Cathryn Grant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
You will find everything from commentary on social media to accurate descriptions of homeschooling in this psychological thriller. The characters are realistic, the action is plausible, and the author gives the story depth by weaving the topics mentioned above into what could be a run-of-the-mill basic plot. It was definitely a page-turner, and I highly recommend it. For a full review, please visit my blog at Fireflies and Free Kicks Fiction Reviews. This review was written based on a complimentary pre-release digital ARC of the book.

Blog Tour w/Review: What Goes Around by Rachel Ellyn

I was happy to find this short book because it was the perfect piece of escapism. There were not a lot of deep thoughts or plot twists to complicate matters. I was able just to read and enjoy the ride.

Alice was a character that many people could relate to – a scorned woman who wanted to get on with her life but still had enough anger left for some revenge (even though it’s not exactly what she thought she needed).

The author did move things right along, so there was not a lot of time to dig deep into motivation or reasoning. Events happened, and repercussions that led to more decisions.

(I know this all sounds a little vague, but because the story is brief and the action moves quickly, I don’t want to give away any of the plot points)

I thought the author did a great job of tracing the indecisiveness of Alice. There were times when she seemed thoroughly happy with where she was, yet in an instant was insecure and doubting the trajectory of her new life. There were moments that it was hard to tell if Alice was relying on what she thought was happening with her trinkets, or if she was finding the strength within herself to move on. I liked this dual focus. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up.

About Rachel Ellyn:

Life and loves after the career.

With degrees in Finance and Economics, Rachel found wonderful success in the business world, which took her I.T. and financial process consulting international. However, with her mind focused on business, and with the lack of training and mentoring in her personal life, marriage success eluded her.

After foraging on a path of self-awareness and exploration with a determination to avoid repeating patterns again, she found the key to relationship bliss. Now, combining her passion for writing and storytelling with her skills, knowledge, and drive that led to her business acclaim, Rachel shares her off beat take on the world, and her findings where life, love, divorce, and children are concerned.

Rachel is determined to be a publicist’s nightmare by writing in multiple genres including children’s fiction, flash fiction, romance, and suspense/thriller.

After multiple divorces, she is now happily married and lives in the Kansas City Metropolitan area enjoying the household noise of her soon-to-be empty nest.

Teaser: Guts & Glory – Hunter

With only a look, he’s hooked.


PREORDER Guts & Glory: Hunter by Jeanne St. James!
Amazon — https://amzn.to/2LNJWkj
Universal — mybook.to/Shadows-Hunter

Release Date: October 5th

When a simple assignment becomes a whole lot more…

For Hunter, what should be an easy job of finding another veteran’s long-lost brother has turned up nothing but dead ends. Even worse, it uncovered problems his team thought had long since been buried. Down to his last lead, he tracks down a woman who has his protective instincts kicking in for reasons he can’t fully understand. While her expressive dark eyes and generous curves catch his attention, it’s her fiery temper that holds it.

Back in her hometown, hiding from a man who almost destroyed her life, Frankie’s thrown off guard when a bossy bearded stranger shows up looking for information on the biker she’d rather forget. And he’s not taking no for an answer. With more to protect than herself now, she knows firsthand what can happen when you place your trust in the wrong person, but something about the former Green Beret has her not only letting him into her home but also her heart.

Hunter’s determined to complete his mission and keep Frankie safe—no matter the cost. Though he didn’t expect that cost to also involve his heart.

Note: Hunter is the third book of the Guts & Glory series, a six-book spin-off from my Dirty Angels MC series. While it’s recommended to read both series in order, each book can be read as a stand-alone. As with all my books, this has an HEA, no cliffhanger or cheating.
