One Tiny Secret By Adam Kunz Release Day Blitz

One Tiny Secret Back Book Blurb 

**Mature Content Warning** 
Recommended for 17+ due to language, violence, and sexual content. 

Just one tiny secret has the potential to ruin everything. 

Being the daughter of the sheriff in a small town like Holden Ridge means that eighteen-year-old Danielle “Dani” Marks’ life is under constant surveillance. She’s made a habit of staying under the radar by being a floater among social circles at school, which has kept her out of trouble—until now. 

After a missing persons case stirs up the entire town, Dani finds herself caught right in the middle of the scandal. When she’s labeled a possible suspect, things quickly go from bad to worse. The sudden return of her old flame, Parker Reed, manages to make her whole situation even more complicated. 

When an elusive unknown person begins to blackmail Dani by threatening to reveal her deepest secrets, Dani refuses to play along. That is, until the person’s actions take a violent turn. Holden Ridge loses its sense of quaint town security, and Dani is caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse. 

Who can she trust when anyone around her could be a suspect? 

One thing’s for certain though: Never underestimate the power of one tiny secret.

 About the Author
Some may consider me a jack of all trades, but I consider myself well rounded. I’ve waitressed, styled hair, answered phones and, most recently, worked full time as mom to my two beautiful little boys. 

Then there was this book… Everyone and their brother started talking about this book series titled Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James. I didn’t really pay attention to the craze at first, since I wasn’t a big reader- okay, I didn’t read at all. But curiosity got the best of me, so I downloaded it to my kindle.

 I was immediately hooked. I read the whole series in three days. Yes, three books in three days. I kept finding all these great books that I HAD to read (just ask my credit card!). Then I started hearing voices. Voices that turned into stories; stories that were begging to get out of my head. 

I started writing them down on scraps of paper. Then I transferred them to my computer. Before I knew it, Planning on Forever was born. The voices in my head are still talking, so I’m still writing.

Release Date: May 2013
From Limitless Publishing

Summary from Goodreads:
Considering she’s a girl who calculates everything, Addie Battes knew the statistical probability of being abducted in her lifetime—too bad she never analyzed the odds of falling in love with her captor.

While stopping at a crowded rest area one summer night, seventeen-year-old Addie accidentally catches a truck hijacking in progress. Desperate to rid the crime of its only witness, one of the thieves kidnaps Addie. Yet surprisingly, when a renegade thief attempts to silence her for good, Addie is saved by the very man who abducted her. Now, forced on board a cargo ship in the middle of the ocean, Addie finds herself surrounded by international smugglers who want nothing more than to throw her overboard.

All except the artistic and intriguing Charlie Hays, whose strange protectiveness convinces Addie to trust him, even when common sense tells her otherwise. Yet, despite her doubt, and his unrelenting temper, their relationship develops into something much more. But, Charlie’s scorned colleague has stowed away, and as he seeks revenge against his coworker, Addie and Charlie are forced to put their new love—and lives—at risk.

My Review

5 of 5 Wanted

Can I just say AMAZING simply Amazing story that had me on the edge of my seat! Action packed and emotionally raw this book left me breathless and left my head with book fuzzies. Lord you read about cases where the someone has been kidnapped and they fall in love with the kidnapper but Wanted is so much more of a story.It is about two broken souls who find each other in the midst of some bad things and fall in love and no it is not instant love but something that develops over time for them. They get to know one another even though he has kidnapped her but there is something to be said about her kidnapper because another guy the kidnapper enemy tries to kill Addie and Charlie saves her.

Addie is your average 17 year old hanging out doing nothing when she goes to a rest area and sees a hijacking taking place.One of the hijackers sees her and decides he wants no witnesses left so he kidnaps her and takes her on the cargo ship carrying the merchandise they just stole. If things could not get worse for poor Addie her kidnapper's enemy tries to kill her and Charlie her kidnapper saves her from him. That is when Addie realizes that Charlie may not be the bad guy after all. Her feelings are conflicted but she feels safe strangely enough with Charlies protection. 

Charlie is an angry man and has a bad bad temper but when it comes to Addie something happened to him and his protection instincts kicked off and he had to protect her. In the process of protecting her he starts to feel for her and he is not sure why he feels for her. He doesn't do relationships he does himself but something about Addie is changing him. But as things heat up between him and Addie things also get heated between another one of the kidnappers and that kidnapper wants to hurt Charlie so he figures he will take out Addie and exact his revenge on Charlie.

What the Charlie's enemy forgot was that love is a very strong emotion and it will make you do crazy things and Charlie will do anything to keep Addie safe and in his arms. This is a must read for the summer time. Lord you will not be able to put it down once you start reading it. Kudos to Amanda for writing a clean book. I love my twisted books but this story is on my top 5 books for 2013!

YA Bound Presents Stripped by Brooklyn Skye Blog Tour Stop

Welcome to my stop on the Stripped blog tour hosted by YA Bound. Click HERE to see the full blog tour schedule!
Stripped
Release Date: 05/14/13

Summary from Goodreads:

“I like you.” His voice is low and soft, which I don’t deserve. I look away, down the rutted parking lot.

“Don’t…waste those words on me.”

He touches my cheek. “You just need someone to show you.”

“No.” I ease back again. “I don’t. So please, Torrin, stop trying to swoop in and save me. I don’t need saving.”

College freshman Quinn Montgomery will do anything to avoid the mistake her sister made—killing herself over a boy. But when she is forced into nude modeling at a local college to support her family after a bankruptcy, she begins to crack, just enough to let Torrin, the university’s top varsity oarsman, see that the real Quinn is not as feisty and unapproachable as she wants everyone to think. But letting someone in comes at a steep cost and, it turns out, Torrin is connected to Quinn’s family in more ways than she could ever imagine.

My Review

5 of 5 Stripped

I have to say that I am loving NA genre more and more when I read books like Stripped. It is so heart wrenching and gut tearing that it makes it so believable. I remember when I was in college at that age and I was trying to find my way and partied and studied and dated but things were going so fast that at times it felt like I was not living reality. When I read these NA books I look back and think these books are spot on because the college years are really the years that develop you and make you who you are going to be.

In Stripped we get to meet two broken souls just trying to make it out of college and survive life's tragedy's. We have Quinn who is suffering from so much loss and tragedy that she feels like she can't breathe. Her father was involved in a scandal at work that left the family bankrupt and then her sister committed suicide. What more can a family take before they break? This is where Quinn is when she decides she needs money to help the family out so she decides she will be one of the art departments nude modeler. Quinn shows everyone at school a hard side to her but it is all a facade and one guy Torrin is about to shake Quinn's world because her house of lies is going to come crumbling down when Torrin breaks the walls she has built around her.

Torrin Torrin Torrin lord have mercy this boy is a funny, loving, and compassionate boy. He is the star oarsman for the rowing team and lord is sex on a stick. He sets his eyes on Quinn and he knows that something is there underneath all that snark and he wants to find out. Torrin is not without his own secrets and when those secrets come to the forefront I am not sure if Torrin can handle the consequences that come with that. But Torrin is strong and he is determined to get the girl of his dreams and that is Quinn.

Will Torrin get Quinn? Will the lies and secrets betray them both? This is a New Adult MUST READ! Grab and sit down somewhere quiet and read until the end because the end is EPIC!

GCR Book Tours Presents Release Day Blitz for UNTOUCHED by Melody Grace

Emerson Ray is trouble. Juliet knows it the minute she lays eyes on Cedar Cove’s resident bad boy. Forced to spend her summer before college in the sleepy beach town, she never expected to crash into the most devastating guy she’s ever met—or for Emerson’s blue eyes to strip through her dark secrets, and make her feel a desire she’s never known. Their connection is undeniable, but Juliet is torn. She knows, once she gives him everything, there’ll be no turning back.

Juliet McKenzie is dangerous. Emerson can tell from the way she blows through all his defences, laying bare the demons he’s carried alone all his life. He’s left a trail of broken hearts and empty beds in his wake, but Juliet is different. Her innocence is intoxicating—and the passion she keeps hidden, just below the surface. He wants to be the only one to set it free, but with every kiss, he’s closer to losing control and doing the one thing he swore he never would: fall in love.

One summer. Two damaged hearts. Their story is only just beginning…

UNTOUCHED is a prequel novella to the USA Today Bestselling UNBROKEN. It also can be read as a stand-alone story.




“Hey,” he grins, easy, and slides his hand around the back of my neck, pulling me in for a long, lazy kiss. My heart is racing as I taste him, mint and coffee, and something else, something all Emerson.

“You ready?”He puts the truck back in drive, and then slings his right arm around my shoulder. I snuggle closer, reveling in the touch of him.

“Ready for what?” I ask, as he turns out of town.

“This is our first date.” Emerson announces.

“Really?” I laugh. “I thought we were a long way past that.”

Like, three bases past.

I blush at the reminder, and I can tell from his wolfish grin that Emerson's thinking the same thing.

“A girl like you deserves a real date,” Emerson declares. “Not just groping in the dark somewhere.”

“In case you’ve forgotten, I kind of liked the whole groping in the dark thing,” I say, amazed at my boldness.

Emerson laughs. “Only kind of? Sweetheart, if that was you kind of liking something, I can’t wait to see what happens when you love it.”

“You'll just have to find out then, won't you?” I tease.

“Oh, I will. Believe me, baby. I've got plans for the two of us.” Emerson gives me that look again, dark and wild. He curves his lips into a teasing grin.






Melody Grace is a small-town girl turned SoCal beach lover. After spending her life with her nose in a book, she decided it was time she wrote one herself. She loves steamy romance novels, happily-ever-afters, and lusting after fictional menfolk.
