Release date: August 1^st

Author: H.B. Heinzer

Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

Synopsis

 Growing up in small town Wisconsin, Carly Turner couldn't wait to escape when she graduated high school. Now, she's living the life in New York City, even if she isn't seeing her name in lights like she used to dream about at night. She's living paycheck-to-paycheck, working behind the scenes in small theaters off Broadway. When there's an equipment malfunction the week before opening night, Carly makes a call that winds up changing everything. 

Life in the city isn't all it's cracked up to be. While she feels like she's getting closer to making the move from behind the scenes to center stage, she misses being surrounded by people who understand the quirks that come from living in a town of five thousand people. That, and the fact that he's sexy as sin, make Adam everything she feels like she's missing.

The only problem? He's her best friend's kid brother...

Adam Sanders wants to settle down, find a good woman and start a family like he sees so many of his friends doing. But how is he supposed to meet Ms. Right when he's constantly on the road for work? When he's sent to New York to handle a repair that would typically be contracted out as a favor to his boss, he's just about to his breaking point.

Everything changes when the stagehand sent to open the theater for him is none other than his big sister's childhood friend. The same girl he lusted after as a teenager. Could this be fate's way of showing him that he was looking in the wrong place for love?

As Adam and Carly's friendship develops, lines will be crossed and rules will be broken. Will they be able to come out the other side without destroying everything they had back in Brooklyn?

Teaser:

"Hello?" A deep voice resonated from backstage. The way the timbre of the man’s voice echoed off the acoustic panels in the empty theater sent a shiver down Carly’s spine. She was surrounded daily by men whose voices could melt butter, but there was something about this particular voice that heightened her senses.

"Out here," she shouted, still wrestling to pull the set piece out of the curtain without causing any damage Dax would make her fix later. She blew a stray hair away from her eyes as the lighting contractor rounded the corner.

When she looked up, she did a double-take. The broad shoulders and angled jaw were all new but there was no mistaking the icy blue eyes looking down at her.  They were the same eyes she had seen nearly every day of her childhood. "Adam?"              

"Carly Turner? What are the odds..."

When she had moved away from home, Adam Sanders had been a bit gangly and not nearly this tall. She figured he would have grown up to be the man a woman grew to love for his heart despite his awkward appearance. The fact that it looked like he wasn’t opposed to spending time in the gym and he had lost the child-like face did nothing to settle her nerves.Carly shook the thoughts out of her head. This was Adam, the boy who had been the little brother Carly never had. Even if she had never felt that familial bond with him, there was definitely a rule about drooling over your best friend's little brother.

"Well, I think they're probably long enough that there's no point in buying a lottery ticket tonight," Oh god, did I just compare seeing Adam to winning the lottery?

Author Bio:

  

With the exception of three years spent in the middle of Nebraska, H.B. Heinzer has called southern Wisconsin home. During that time in Nebraska, she imagined one of her favorite authors living on the far western edge of the county, just south of the highway. At the time, becoming a novelist was a distant dream for her. Now, she is the author living in that location. Ironically, she later found out that same favorite author lives just outside the town HB lived in for the first eighteen years of her life.
Now, HB lives in the middle of nowhere but still close enough to the city to not feel isolated. It's the perfect place to let her two kids run and explore their huge yard, teach them about the food chain as they prepare their first-ever garden and debate building a chicken coop. It's one of those dreams that is only possible thanks to the amazing opportunities that have come through writing.

***Sandy's Review of Choices by Sydney Lane***

“I know enough to know that I’d like to kiss you right now.  To know that if I do, it won’t be nearly enough.” – Brody

“My body is naked, but I feel completely bared to him.  Today, I am exposing more than my skin.” – Quincy

BLURB

Fate brought her here, but will her choices destroy her dreams?

Quincy Priest made all the right choices in her small town, black-and-white life. But being perfect is tiring. So. Very. Tiring.

Wanting desperately to step out of her sister's shadow, Quincy jumps at the opportunity to attend college with her best friend. The quiet bookworm with family secrets comes out of her shell. But when Quincy meets not one, but two perfect guys, she has to make a choice. In doing so, she might forfeit the relationship she secretly longed to find.

Declan. Sweet, handsome, and perfect. He makes her feel cherished for the first time in her life.

Brody. Sexy, hot, and irresistible. He could tear down her carefully built walls.

Before she can become the woman she wants to be, Quincy will make mistakes. And suffer one unimaginable loss

Sandy's Review:

Quincy Priest is a virgin experiencing college life and she has a problem – a man problem. Well actually it’s a two gorgeous men kind of problem. Some of you might say, what’s the problem?  I should be so lucky.  Declan is a PK (Preacher’s Kid), he’s also sweet, kind, loving and has a heart of gold to go along with his  dimples. Brody is also gorgeous but he doesn’t do relationships. He’s the one that makes her lose her breath, the one that with a look can set her body on fire. In other words her Declan is safe and Brody is heartbreak on a stick. To complicate matters further Declan and Brody are fraternity brothers and best friends. What’s a girl to do? How can she choose? 

Quincy has a best friend/roommate who is like a sister to her named Jenna.  I say like a sister because Quincy has an actual sister named Katie.  Unfortunately, Katie has severe bi-polar disorder and though her family loves her dearly – she is a ticking time bomb. You can feel the underlying tick tock tick tock through the story. 

I loved the way Sydney Lane describes the feelings going on between the characters. It’s poetic and appealed to that girly romantic part of me. I also liked the way that Declan and Brody are honest about who they are to Quincy. Declan is selfless and wants the best for Quincy.  Brody admits that he is too selfish to let Quincy go. Choices is about love, it is about betrayal, it is about a young woman trying to find her way in the world. Though I will say that the story seemed like it should have been a little longer.  Ultimately, a choice is made and we get an HEA. You guys know me – I gotta have the smexy, the angst and the HEA.  Choices delivered on all three.

Book Description:

The steamy sequel to the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling New Adult novel DAMAGED by H.M. Ward.

Home isn't supposed to be dangerous, but for Sidney it is. Returning home means that she has to face her past. It's not just the man who hurt Sidney that makes it horrible, but the family that didn't believe her. They were dead to her, but now that her mom is really dying things seem different. It's a chance to set things right.

What Sidney doesn't realize is that she's dragging Peter into a collision course with his past. Peter must deal with the demons haunting him if he wants to move forward with Sidney. He's willing to give up everything for her, even wade deeper into his past life to help her move forward. But, Peter isn't sure if he can get over what happened to him in New York.

Dinner is slow and silent. By the time we head back to the room, I’m ready for a long hot shower. Peter unlocks the door and for the first time, he flips on the lights. I stop in my tracks just on the other side of the door. Peter rams into my back nearly knocking me over. He grabs hold of my arms just above the elbow and steadies me.

“Holy shit.” The room is… I have no words. My senses are overwhelmed with thick textures, red velvets and satins. There’s a shag rug the color of a rose. One huge heart-shaped bed sits in the center of the room with a matching heart shaped mirror on the ceiling. I’m standing there with my hands clapped over my mouth.

Peter shoves past me. “She’s a nice old lady with interesting taste.” Peter sits down hard on the bed and pulls his shoes off. He flicks his eyes up at me after a second. I haven’t moved. “So it looks like a porn set from the 70’s, what’s the big deal?”

My eyes widen and I look over at him. “There’s a pole.” I walk forward and slowly reach out my hand toward the brass pole in the middle of the room. I move carefully, like it might bite.

Peter has a crooked smirk on his face. “You’re so prude.”

I yank my arm back and turn on him. “Are you insane? This room would make a prude person have a coronary! They’d fall over on the bed and watch themselves die in the ceiling mirror. There’s a pole!” My voice squeaks the last part.

Peter peels off his tee shirt and shakes his head. I watch him do it and wish I hadn’t. His body is so beautiful that it’s hard to look away, but I manage. My stomach does a little summersault just before I turn. “So hang your laundry on it and stop freaking out.”

“What kind of married couple uses a pole on their wedding night?”

He grins. Peter pushes off the bed and walks over to me. He looks down into my face. He’s standing too close, and from the look on his face, he’s doing it on purpose. “I think you’d stop freaking out if you’d seen a pole dance before. You know the woman doesn’t actually fuck the pole, right?”

My jaw drops. I make a high pitched sound and slap his chest. “Yes, I know that. And I suppose you’ve seen plenty of dances on one of these.”

“Yeah, but only at strip clubs.” His eyes drink me in. They’re so dark. He holds my gaze for a moment and adds, “How about a private performance?” I go to slap his face again, but Peter catches my wrist and stops me. It dawns on me that he could have stopped me last time, too, but he didn’t. His eyes flick back and forth between mine. “Stop slapping me, Colleli.”

“Stop giving me reasons to.”

Blurb:
 Twenty-five year old Charlotte "Charlie" Barrow is caught between her old life, and the one she is beginning to build, when she crosses paths with a handsome stranger on the subway. Not looking for romance, she closes her heart off to the possibilities of love. With a knack for mishaps, Charlie maintains her sense of humor while befriending the kind stranger who seems to be there at all the right times. New York freelance writer, Charlie Adams, is forging his own path beyond the expectations of the society circles of his childhood.

Through a coincidence of events, they come to rely on each other for comfort. This is the tale of two Charlies learning to trust again while fighting their fates to create their own destiny.
Excerpt:

“So what brings you to this part of town, Charlie?”

He plays with the straw’s wrapper before wadding it between his fingers. When he looks up, he says, “You do.” He shrugs. “I missed you.”

He always makes me smile, but I laugh lightly, too, because I like that he missed me. “You missed me?”

Leaning forward after looking around us, he whispers, “Yeah, I missed you. Is that so strange?”

No. Not strange at all. I’d been thinking about him since we parted after dinner yesterday.

“What?” he asks. “Are you laughing at me because I can admit I missed you?”

“I think it’s great you can admit you missed someone, and I wasn’t laughing.” I giggle.

“That. That right there is laughing.”

“No, that’s giggling.”

“Aren’t we too old to giggle?”

“Speak for yourself, old man,” I tease.

He laughs now, but turns away when our number is called. Tapping the table once with his palm, he says, “I’ll be right back.”

I watch him as he walks toward the back of the small restaurant to claim our order, enjoying the view. Damn it! I look out the window when I’m busted staring at his ass. When I look back, he’s gloating—I mean smiling—all the way back.

I try to tamp the heat I feel that wants to redden my cheeks, giving my guilt away, but I think it’s too late.

“Here.” He sets the food down in front of me. “Eat and maybe that will distract us enough to not talk about the fact that I just caught you ogling my ass.”

“I wasn’t ogling.” I feign annoyance at the accusation, although I totally was ogling.

“You were sooo ogling.”

“I hate you, Charlie.” I laugh, joking with him.

“Yeah, I hate you, too.” He teases with a smug smile set in place.

I seriously love our friendship.

***Bad Things by R.K. Lilley Blog Tour Stop***

BAD THINGS

By R.K. Lilley

June 11^th, 2013

BLURB:

Danika hasn’t had an easy life. Being insanely attracted to bad boys has never helped make it easier.

One look at Tristan, and every brain cell she possessed went up in smoke. This man was trouble with a capital T. It was a given.

She knew better. Bad boys were bad. Especially for her. Considering her history, it was crazy to think otherwise. So why did crazy have to feel so damn fine?

For as long as she could remember, Danika had been focused on the future with single-minded purpose. Tristan came along and taught her everything there was to know about letting go, and living in the present. She fell, hard and deep. Of course, that only made her impact with the ground that much more devastating.

Lesley's Review:

Bad Things...yeah, bad as in watch the train wreck happening before your eyes. (I mean that in the best way.) If you read the Up in the Air series you know where this story is going to end up. We just don't know how it got there. Now, we have to sit back and read, watching the story unfold. I loved every moment of it. I'm dying for the rest of Danika and Tristan's story. I became intrigued the first time we were introduced to their characters. I knew this was going to be an all consuming beautiful mess.

"Love is nothing but the most flexible promise"

I didn't realize how far back Ms. Lilley would take us. I was expecting to get the back story told from the
present...Surprise...surprise...from the past to the present we go. From the first instant that these two meet,you see the instant chemistry.Their story begins at the very beginning. It begins with the very first time they met. And I fell in love with the witty,fun-loving, Tristan. I fell in love with Danika, I related to her need to be in-control and tendency to be a bit uptight. These two gravitate towards each other, seamlessly bringing their status of just met to best friends.

Realizing the potential for a disaster to happen if they give in to the attraction they feel for each other, they set boundaries. Danika trying to stay out of a relationship with a Bad boy-type but doesn't partake in one-night stands. Tristan just doesn't do relationships. You can see how that would spell a recipe for a broken heart and ruined friendship. Especially, since these two are great together when they are just being friends. However, it's plain to see these two are more then friends. It was never in the stars to stay just friends. (Of course we knew that) They struggle real hard to keep those boundaries up, but when you are having fun and alcohol is involved, bad things happen.


"We need to get away from each other until we sober up some, I think we are both feeling way too pretty right now."

These two struggling with their own demons, denial, and stupidity takes us on an intense journey. I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop. I don't know if it was because I know something bad is going to happen or if it was just how their story is. I'm going to say it's a little of both. We watch them fall in-love, we watch them mess sh*t up.  I felt my heart-breaking for them when tragedy strikes and my heart melted from the steamy scenes. Overall, this is an awesome read. You can't go wrong with this one. I gave it 4 stars.
