cassief.jpgI’m the oldest of three girls, born in a small town with a big diamond mine. My love for writing and reading started from a young age and going off by myself with a notebook and pen in hand was one of my favourite past times. I am an introvert, yeah, I know right, you didn’t see that one coming! I dislike crowds which means I do my shopping super early, like when the doors open I’m there. I love cupcakes, cakes, any baking really and pasta! I have a twelve-year-old black cat who’s addicted to catnip aka kitty crack, I love sweet tea, pink cotton candy, butter on toast and fairy lights. I’m a book hoarder, lover of stationery and notebooks, Chapstick addict, and love to crochet when time allows. I married my high school sweetheart and we have two wonderful boys who make me proud to call myself a mom. My family has always been super supportive and for that I am grateful. Surrounding yourself with people who understand your passion is so important and a lifeline on those days you feel like throwing all your notebooks in a box and burning it.(Not that I’ve ever wanted to do that, it would kill me…seriously guys!) Music plays a very important part in my writing. I have heaps of playlists for inspiration but I’m a country girl at heart and some of my favourite country artists are Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini, Raelyn and Ashley McBride. The series I’m working on now has been years in the making. It started out with a scene I had in my head of a girl lying on the snowy riverbank, and a dog…. that’s it, and the rest is history!

COVER REVEAL FOR TOO BAD SO SAD BY LANI LYNN VALE

Title: Too Bad So Sad
Series: The Simple Man
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: August 8, 2018
Cover Designer: Cover Me Darling
Cover Model: Franggy Yanes
Cover Photographer: FuriousFotog
Tyler Cree has never been good at the whole look and don’t touch thing.

From the moment he was old enough to walk on his own two feet, he’s been looking for trouble.

Trouble comes in many forms…quite a few of those forms being the female persuasion.

Tyler knows what girls want—a bad boy. And he has the bad boy image down pat.

Ex-military—check.

Hot cop—double check.

A bike between his legs and a devil may care attitude—oh, yeah.

All the girls want him, yet none of them will have him—at least not all of him, anyway. A certain appendage they can have all they want. His heart, however, is not up for grabs. The useless organ inside his chest was broken and battered, mutilated by the one woman he thought would keep it safe.

Spoiler alert: she ripped it to shreds and set fire to the pieces.

To protect himself, Tyler keeps everyone at arm’s length, and never lets anyone get too close.

Then Reagan Rose Alvarez barrels into his life, and trespasses on not only his property, but straight into his abused heart. One glance is all it takes, and he’s suddenly thinking about things he hasn’t thought for quite some time—thoughts that a man like him should never have about a woman like her.

One moment of weakness is all it takes, and suddenly he has no other choice but to go on the offensive.

Keeping her is the only other option now.

Turns out, his heart isn’t as broken as he thought it was.
The only problem is, now the little she-devil holds it in the palm of her hands, and she has no clue just how much power she holds.

 


I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 9, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.

Until by Anna B. Doe Review

newarcbannerblurbuntilI was betrayed by those I loved. Those I believed in. It was the first and the last time I let myself love someone outside my family.
Love makes you weak. It makes you wish for things you can’t have. It makes you vulnerable, and I swore I would never again go down that path.
Until I met him—Jack Daniel Shelton.

She left me. She ruined me. The day I found her gone, I promised myself I’d never let anyone have that kind of hold on me again. Especially not a woman. Now she’s back.
No matter how much time has passed, no matter what I tell myself, her hold on me is still strong. But she holds a secret. A secret I can’t escape from, but a secret I can’t turn my back on, either. A secret that could ruin everything I’ve worked for.
And then, there is her—Sienna Roberts. Everything was just as it was supposed to be, until she walked into my life.

Can two souls that lost faith in love find it in one another?

reviewuntil4.jpg

So Lost & Found was a slow burn, but Until was most decidedly not. While I think Until could be read as a standalone, I think it’s best you read the series starting with Lost & Found. The two stories happen at the same time, so it was probably really hard to write, but made for a really awesome book.

Sierra and J.D. fall into bed together pretty quickly (no shame!) but it takes them awhile to find the love they both needed. And there is so much drama, so much drama, my emotions were all over the place! I binge read this, read a special epilogue in Anna’s reading group that had me cracking up, then jumped straight into Forever, and died all over again. And Anna knows she’s evil, she enjoys it, and although I may say I hate her for being evil, I really love her. Until made me mad, sad, laugh, cry. It had me wanting to shake Sierra, though not as hard as I wanted to shake Anabel, and I wanted to kick J.D. sometimes. I was so heavily involved in these characters, and it was all because Anna is amazing at getting you on a roller coaster you never want to get off of.

Sierra is messed up from a past relationship. So messed up, she wants nothing to do with love. She firmly believes she doesn’t want love and marriage and all that jazz. She keeps everyone out, except her mother and sister, and it is hard to find people in her world that deserve to get past that wall. When she meets Anabel, her sister’s au pair, her walls slowly start to crumble. When she meets J.D. initially, he doesn’t get past those walls. But over time, J.D. crumbles every wall she kept up, leaving her afraid of the possibilities.

J.D. has his own issues with drama and his own messed up past. He feels the pull to Sierra immediately, but he isn’t looking for a relationship, so when she keeps her walls firmly in place, he lets her. He doesn’t like it, but he lets it happen. The more Sierra and J.D. are forced to meet each other, the more he crumbles those walls, and lets his own fall. But there’s more going on then just two people trying to heal each other when they don’t want to be healed. In Lost & Found you find out J.D. has a sister, one he didn’t know about. They don’t share the same dad, so he basically becomes a full time father over night. But reading these two interact, while J.D. tries to find his way with Sierra and through life, was absolutely amazing.

I loved every single page of this book, even the parts I wanted to shake Sierra. ESPECIALLY when I wanted to yell at J.D. Anna made these characters real for me. And I need more, SO MUCH MORE. Then again, I always need more so it’s not a surprise. Anna, I love you even when you’re evil and tease me with new projects. And I love this series, so so much.

It takes a strong hand to be King. It takes discipline, and

body, the last of my meticulous control might just be broken.
She’s all sass and vinegar, but as King, I always get

You know what they say about pretty little rich girls who

royal fantasy. As with all my books, this one is safe, with no cheating, and a
HEA guaranteed.

BLOG TOUR for Serenity by Rochelle Paige!

SERENITY_BLOG TOUR1.jpg

Serenity, the conclusion to the emotional and romantic Fortuity Duet by Rochelle Paige, is available NOW!

Serenity - 5x8_Cream_310(1)

I’d lived a privileged life, in the lap of luxury and surrounded by family. It had felt like I was on top of the world…until tragedy struck.

My sense of loss felt bottomless, and I struggled with it every single day. Finding my path back into the light seemed impossible.

But then I met Faith—she was smart, sexy, and out of my league even though she didn’t have a penny to her name. We grew up in different worlds, but somehow we fit perfectly together.

Except neither of us had counted on learning that our connection was more profound than we knew.

Serenity scares teaser.jpg

Excerpt:

“You feeling okay?” I murmured in Faith’s ear as I pulled her closer. We were watching a movie, cuddled on the couch together. I was leaning back against the cushions in the corner, and she was between my legs with her head on my chest. But she wasn’t relaxed like she should be after a day out shopping with my mom. She was so damn tense she was practically vibrating with it.

I slid my palms up her arms, pleased as fuck at the goosebumps that followed in the wake of my touch. There was no denying that she still responded to me with the same fierceness she had since we first met. But there was also no denying that something was wrong with Faith. She’d seemed off ever since we got situated on the couch a few hours earlier. I wasn’t sure what was bothering her, but it felt like she was pulling away from me.

When she’d moved in with me a couple of weeks ago, life had seemed as close to perfect as it could get. We had our college degrees. My dad gave me a week off before I started my new job at his company. Living with me meant Faith could continue on for her master’s degree without worrying about money. It was a big fucking deal that she was willing to let me take care of her that way since she was so damn self-sufficient.

My tough girl had finally taken down some of her walls and let me in. She’d even found the courage to admit she loved me.

Out loud.

Repeatedly.

But no matter how often she said those three little words, I still felt like she hadn’t let me all the way in. I figured it’d take time, and I needed to be patient with her. To remember she wasn’t used to being loved by anyone and didn’t know how to handle it.

Normally, I was okay with that. But tonight it was almost as though she was scared. And if my tough girl was afraid of something, then it was my job to make her feel safe. Which would be a hell of a lot easier if I knew what I was up against; only Faith wasn’t giving me much to go on.

 My Review 

Chapter One
Hailey“Hello.” Turning down “Glorious” by Macklemore blasting in the background while I washed the kitchen floor with Pine Sol and water, I answer the phone after the first ring.

“It’s me.” I hear my best friend and cousin, Crystal, say from the other end. “Where are you?” I can’t see her face, but I know something is wrong. Even though she’s asked me that question a million times before, this time it’s different. There is no carefree tone. This time, it’s curt and to the point with no laughter in her voice.

“I’m home,” I say, almost whispering as my hand shakes against my ear. My mouth suddenly goes dry, my neck starting to get hot. Something inside my stomach suddenly drops when a slow burn sets in.

“You need to come to the hospital.” Crystal is an emergency room nurse at St. Mary’s, so whatever feeling I was having before has now doubled. “Blake is on his way to get you.” When she mentions my brother, I now know something is gravely wrong. The honk outside doesn’t allow me to question her any further. “You need to get in the car, okay?” she says softly but firmly. “Listen to me, Hailey. Go outside and get here.” My head nods as the hand holding my phone to my ear falls away.

The front door opens, and Blake comes in, looking at me with sorrow and sadness. His brown eyes meet mine briefly, and then he looks down. He doesn’t say anything to me; he simply holds out his hand to me. I put my hand in his, and he leads me out to his truck. He opens the door for me, helping me take that step in.

As I’m looking at him, he pulls the seat belt over my chest and buckles me in. My mind’s still playing the phone call, trying to dissect the conversation. Trying to find one little word that can be the clue. “It’s going to be okay.” His voice breaks through the haze.

I nod my head at him, then he steps back and shuts the door, jogging over to his side. He gets in and puts the truck in drive. I’m on the outside looking in, watching my life fall apart without knowing it.

The only thing I’m certain of is that the sun is shining without a cloud in the sky. As I watch a bird soar through the sky almost in the same direction we are going, I think to myself, Bad things don’t happen when it’s sunny outside, right?

I watch the bird, not even realizing we’ve made it to the hospital. I don’t have a chance to open my door because Blake has it opened before I even think to reach for the handle. “You’re going to be okay,” he assures me as he raises his baseball cap to run his hands through his short dark hair.

“What’s going on?” I have a feeling my entire life is about to change, so I beg him to tell me before we walk through those doors. Blake doesn’t answer. He just reaches down to grab my hand and lead me through the revolving doors.

The harsh smell of antiseptic immediately fills my nose. Voices bombard me, though, none of them are familiar. Glancing around, I take in the hustle and bustle of the emergency room. My heartbeat echoes in my ears as I try in vain to locate a familiar face. I just need to know who we’re here for.

As we silently walk down the corridor, my mind never stops thinking about why we are here. I look up at Blake, asking the one question that makes my heart squeeze with such intense pain, it feels like it might explode.

“Is it Mom? Dad?” I can hear the pleading in my tone. He gives me nothing, continuing to look straight ahead. My eyes go back to the floor, following the tile pattern as we make our way beyond the entrance to the emergency room. The first thing I see is both of my parents, alive and healthy. My mother has tears running down her cheeks, and my father has his arm around her shoulders. They are standing next to the nurses’ station. I look back at Blake in horror. “Is it Nanny?”

He doesn’t have time to answer because Crystal comes out from behind the nurses’ station in her everyday uniform of blue scrubs and Crocs, wearing a stethoscope around her neck.

With one glance at her face, I stop my feet in their tracks. My feet are stuck to the floor as if someone crazy glued them to that spot. I can see the hurt and tears in her eyes. She looks at me with her head tilted sideways, her bottom lip trembling. My body blocks any movements I try to make. I try to advance to Crystal, but I can’t. My knees start to give out, and a horrible shrieking sound comes from somewhere.

I try turning my head to see where the yelling is coming from, but I can’t. I’m on my hands and knees in the hospital corridor. It isn’t until the coldness seeps through my hands that I realize I’m the one screaming. That wretched sound is coming from me. Me. My throat raw, my eyes burning, and my heart irrevocably broken. No words need to be said. No confirmation given. I don’t need them to bring me to a place where we can “talk quietly.” It’s at that moment I finally know what everyone else knows.

My husband is dead.

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
