Biblio-Files vol.2

So this edition piggybacks on my last commentary about my son not being a reader. I assume, since you are reading this that you too are a lover of all things book related. I can’t imagine a world without reading! Life would be so mundane! Work, house cleaning, errands! Blah!! When I open a book I travel into other worlds, different times, experiencing the lives of strangers that become new friends or enemies. I get to be that proverbial fly on a wall. I invest myself emotionally in every book I read. Books take me out of my comfort zone yet I get to physically stay in my own comfortable world! For me, nothing is better than losing myself in a good book. I can’t imagine my life with reading? What do you think your life would be like without reading? Could you even stand it?

~ A Bibliophile ❤️📚

Biblio-Files vol.1

Surprise…I love to read!! I know, your shocked!! But it’s true!! I have piles of books to be read. I buy them, I download them and I borrow them. My friends read, my mother reads, my siblings read, my Nana reads, my husband reads (Sexy right?!), my daughter reads! I am surrounded by readers!!! But…my son doesn’t read! What???!!!! I read to him from day one! We went to the library every dang week! But, as he grew older the books started to get turned away. It’s tragic really! He will read for school because hebhas to. But for entertainment, Nope!! I understand he is a 17 year old man child finding his way in the world. But to raise a non reader, OY!! What am I to do? I have tried everything! He’s just not interested! I am holding out hope! Has anyone ever had a non reader who miraculously changed into a reader?? Tell me there is hope!!

Bookseller Diaries No. 3

Have you ever completely lost it to fangirl mode or just acted like a complete moron in front of your favorite author? Come on…you know what I’m talking about. The staring with no words coming out of your mouth.  The awkward “OMG I love you!!!” then spill a drink on them.

Fangirl Meme

Alas, I can say I’ve newer spilled a drink on anyone (other than family and friends).  What I have done is….run into Charlaine Harris in the ladies room and just stood there watching her wash her hands cuz you know…that’s not weird. I asked Lee Child how tall he was and compared his good looks to Alexander Skarsgard. Thank god he thought I was hilarious and didn’t call security. I might have told JR Ward I loved her while clutching one of her books to me. What I wanted to say was that I loved her BOOKS. What made things weird was me just standing there looking at her while she politely smiled at me and her mom looked at me like I was a lunatic.

I’ve asked a few authors I know about this subject. Each and every one has responded that these things happen and that it’s not a big deal. Readers are generally introverts and some are socially awkward or have high anxiety.  What the common reader doesn’t know is that they are the same as you!  They fangirl over the fangirls! They are just as excited and nervous and anxious as you are about meeting them.

So, go ahead and show your love to your favorite author.  Bring a wingman or wingwoman with you to keep you in check (that’s what I do) and make awesome memories. Now…who is going to volunteer to be my wingwoman at Book Bonanza in Denver because with the lineup they have of amazing attending authors it might just push me over the edge……

BLURB:

I don’t know what love is anymore.

Well, that’s not entirely true, but I’m going to tell you a little secret: I’ve lost the spark.

You know the kind of spark I’m talking about?

Where butterflies take flight in your stomach from two hands innocently colliding. Or catching your breath when you first meet someone attractive. Yeah, that spark.

Except I haven’t felt that feeling in forever; there is nothing left inside of me.

Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem–but I’m a writer on a serious deadline, and my editor is breathing down my neck for a romantic, Nicholas Sparks type love story. No pressure, right?

That’s how I find myself flying across the country to crash a wedding in the name of research, dress and heels stuffed into my small suitcase.

It should be the easiest book research ever. Drinking some free champagne, basking in the love of two strangers, and tapping into my romantic side. That will be a breeze. I’m a pro. I can handle this.

Until I mistakenly end up in the wrong hotel room, naked as the day I was born, with the sexiest human I have ever met staring me down, wondering what I’m doing taking a shower in his bathroom. I don’t think calling it research will get me out of this pickle.

 

 

 

 

About the Author:
Author, wife, adoptive mother, and peanut butter lover. Will dance for laughs, won’t eat anything spicy because you asked, but will squeeze boobs in replace of a hug. Grew up in Southern California (Temecula, anyone? Anyone?) lived in New York (the armpit of NY, not the city) and now resides in Colorado with my wife, son, two dogs, three cats, and my multiple book boyfriends. Loves love, anything romantic, and will die if I ever meet Tom Hanks. Yay, books!

Then There Was You

2018-SBPRBANNER-TTWY-RB.jpg

Then There Was You, an all-new second chance romance from New York Times bestselling author Claire Contreras is LIVE!

Love and the right timing were two things I didn’t believe in.

Love is about walking to the edge of the cliff and taking the leap together.
Timing was never on our side.
My first mistake was hooking up with my best friend.
My second came years later, when we met again, and I fell for her.
My third was letting her go, because I had to. Because a love like this wasn’t built to withstand the winds coming in our direction.

Love and timing.
I didn’t believe in either.

Then there was you . . .

🔥Cover Reveal: Switch Hitter🔥

 

 

 

 

I knew something was wrong the second she walked in the door tonight; I just couldn’t put my finger on what it was.

Same hair color.

Same legs.

Same face.

Except…I look harder.

At the small dimple beneath her lip that wasn’t there the last time we went out. And her laugh—that laugh isn’t as loud.

This isn’t the girl I’ve gone out with the past few weeks.

It’s her twin sister, and they’ve switched places on me.

Only I’m not quite ready to let them switch back.

Cover Reveal: To Fall for Winter❤️

Title: To Fall for Winter
Series: Kinney Brothers #2
Author: Kelsey Kingsley
Genre: Contemporary Adult Romance
Release Date: March 19, 2018

“You think I’m ready to ruin you forever?”
“Oh, Ireland… You’ve already ruined me forever.” 

I’ve been called the Black Sheep. Troublemaker. And probably a dozen other words that are nowhere near that nice. My past is checkered. Full of questionable choices and even worse outcomes. But I’ve put it behind me. I’m on the straight and narrow now.

For two years, I’ve towed the line. Stayed out of trouble. Kept my head above water. And have not made even one reckless decision.

But then Snow came to River Canyon on the first day of winter.

Inked, pierced, and unafraid of speaking her mind, and going after what she wants, she made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Together, I knew we would make a mess. 

I just couldn’t keep myself from getting dirty.

When I was seventeen, my older brother Patrick had a momentary lapse of judgment with a girl he couldn’t stand, and as luck would have it, he had gotten the chick pregnant. 

The night he was told about the pregnancy, he came home and with his head in his hands, he gave our parents the wonderful news. I walked in on that cheerful little conversation, coming in from a night of partying with my friends. I had looked at him, ghost-white and panicked. Then, I looked at my parents, fuming, and also panicked. The three of them had acted for a time as though they were the only ones being affected by it all, but in truth, it was a defining moment in all of our lives.

For our parents, it was the shock of being handed their Grandparent Card before they felt they were ready. It was the reality that their oldest son, their first baby, was having a baby of his own and embarking on a journey of life that would take him places they weren’t permitted. 

For Patrick, it was the rusty—albeit temporary—nail in the coffin that held his relationship with his childhood sweetheart. It was the consequence to trump all others. And, well, I also like to think it was one of the best things to ever happen to him, because I know now that he sees his daughter as anything but a mistake. 

For my twin brother Sean, it was the encouragement he needed to continue being the perfect son. It was the pressure to get good grades, keep his head above water, and although he never said it, it stressed the shite out of him. I could see it in the lines that had formed between his brows. 

For me? Well … 

On that night, after sneaking up to the bedroom I still shared with Sean, all I can remember thinking was, “Well, nothing I do can ever be as disappointing as this. That guy has set the bar, and I will never see myself over it.” And that would have been fine, except that, for me, it wasn’t a warning—it became a dare, and I tested it a little too much. I managed to pass over that bar by the time I was twenty, and I just kept on climbing. 

And it wasn’t that I was a bad guy, keep in mind. I just couldn’t seem to help myself. I just found trouble, or maybe it found me. Who the hell knows. 

Still, by some miracle, I had never knocked a girl up. 

Maybe things would have been better if I had. 

And this was what I thought about while we did the cliché bullshite of having a smoke after sex.



Kelsey Kingsley lives in New York with her family and a cat named Ethel.

She believes there is nothing better than a good doughnut and a cup of tea, and that there is a song for everything.


HOSTED BY:

This Cover…..holy 🔥🔥🔥

We are thrilled to bring you the cover from New York Times Bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, REBEL HEIR the first book in a new, sexy duet releasing on April 9th!

COVER CREDITS:
Model: Micah Truitt
Photographer: Leonardo Corredor
Cover designer: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative

 

 

How to kick off a great summer in the Hamptons:

Snag a gorgeous rental on the beach. Check.

Get a job at a trendy summer haunt. Check.

How to screw up a great summer in the Hamptons:

Fall for the one guy with a dark leather jacket, scruff on his face, and intense eyes that doesn’t fit in with the rest of the tony looking crowd. A guy you can’t have when you’ll be leaving at the end of the season.

Check. Check. Check.

I should add—especially when the guy is your sexy, tattooed God of a boss.

Especially when he not only owns your place of employment but inherited half of the town.

Especially when he’s mean to you.

Or so I thought.

Until one night when he demanded I get in his car so he could drive me home because he didn’t want me walking in the dark.

That was sort of how it all started with Rush.

And then little by little, some of the walls of this hardass man started to come down.

I never expected that the two of us, seemingly opposites from the outside, would grow so close.

I wasn’t supposed to fall for the rebel heir, especially when he made it clear he didn’t want to cross the line with me.

As the temperature turned cooler, the nights became hotter. My summer became a lot more interesting—and complicated.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

Rebel Heir is the first book in the Rush Series Duet. Book Two, Rebel Heart, will release six weeks later on May, 22, 2018.
