*** COVER REVEAL *** Flukes by Nichole Chase

AToMR Tours PRESENTS THE COVER REVEAL FOR FLUKES BY NICHOLE CHASE

The cover was designed by Stephanie Mooney of Mooney Designs. 

Meena has a secret guarded closely by her family—a secret as dangerous as the sea, and buried just as deep. When court appointed community service workers are assigned to Flukes, the family-owned animal sanctuary, everyone is on high alert. It doesn’t help that Meena finds herself attracted to sexy-as-sin Blake Weathering, one of the new workers. If he wasn’t so distracting, she might be able to land Flukes a much-needed cruise line contract.

Blake Weathering, the first in his family to attend public school, has developed a tough image. Unfortunately it lands him in trouble. Now banned from his high school graduation ceremony, getting his diploma is dependent upon a community service gig cleaning fish crap. No diploma, no trust fund fortune—and no way to escape his overbearing father. The last thing he needs is the distraction of a mysterious girl with teal eyes who pulls at his heart strings.

When Blake discovers Meena’s secret, they are both thrown into a desperate search for information about her past. Two worlds pull them in opposite directions, and they will have to fight to hold onto all that really matters.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I AM READY FOR THIS BOOK!

Bloodlust by Faye Robertson Blog Tour Stop

It had to be nuns.

Some vampires had a thing for B+. Some preferred redheads. Others preferred blondes.

For Jasper, it had to be nuns--and he's been regretting that since the day he bit Amabel de Woodville, almost two centuries ago.

She'd done something to him. Something that restored his conscience, pointed his moral compass straight north, and ended his career of seducing virgin nuns and killing as he pleased. But even worse--she'd gotten under his skin, and he hasn't forgotten the green-eyed witch who'd been immune to his charms.

When Amabel ends up in his office, still as young as the day they'd met and seeking a charity sponsor, Jasper has the chance he's ached for: to show her the pleasure that's haunted her dreams for decades. He's taken the virginity of a hundred nuns...but a vampire nun? That's new.

And Jasper has always enjoyed a challenge.

MY REVIEW

5 OF 5 VIRGIN NUNS

First off I just want to say OMG did I LOVE this book! Lord have mercy Jasper is a trip and Amabel is a strong girl who holds her own! I have never read a vampire story that had nuns in it so when I first started reading I said lord forgive me if this book is blasphemes because I sure the hell LOVED it!

Jasper is a vampire who loves his life. He lives his life to the fullest by taking what he wants when he wants. He has an addiction that is unusual because instead of being addicted to drugs or caffeine he is addicted to nuns. Lord have mercy what a crazy addiction but that is what he likes. He tags and bags them so to speak and when he meets Amabel he wants her so bad. He gets her but not in the way he wanted to. Once he took her he was cursed and his life changed. He becomes a CEO and stays out of trouble. He thinks of Amabel sometimes and wonders what happened to her but he knows he needs to stay on the straight and narrow. That is until a group of nuns show up in his office and are seeking charity from his company. It takes him everything within his self not to deflower the nuns. Then he sees Amabel and he loses it. He must have her and nothing will deter him this time. He wants her so bad he can taste it.

Amabel was a nun who was turned against her will 200 years ago. She never wants to see the vampire who turned her so she moves away and goes to a different covenant to get away from her nightmares. Then she is doing charity work and she meets her maker face to face. At first she is not sure wht to make of seeing Jasper but as cocky as he is he realizes that Amabel is still a virgin and he has to have her and will stop at nothing to get her but Amabel is still not having it and she fights him tooth and nail!

What will happen between these two? Will Jasper get his way? Will Amabel give in? Read on to find out what happens between these two!

Ashes and Wine by Taryn Elliott Blog Tour Stop

Before Tessa met Royal Andreas, her bookstore was on the verge of sinking. And before Tessa met Royal Andreas, she didn't mind being single. But Royal brings in business with monthly wine tastings featuring his family's signature vintages--and brings Tessa's heart to a standstill with intense gray eyes that look on her with nothing but cool indifference.

Yet one searing kiss between the stacks gives Tessa a glimpse of the passion smoldering beneath--and a secret pain further revealed when Royal fills in as the musician at a tasting event. Every note of Spanish guitar tells a story of family tragedy, loss, and ongoing suffering that's made Royal afraid to lean on anyone...even if he needs Tessa's sweet flavor more than the richest wine. Only her strength can save him when his world crumbles to ashes. But has Royal learned trust too late to claim Tessa as his own?

MY REVIEW

5 OF 5 ASHES AND WINE

Where to start this review..... I sometimes read a book that completely throws me off balance and Ashes and Wine is one of those books. I truly LOVED this story. Man it made me think about love and relationships and sacrifices we make to our families. Is it worth it to love someone when you can't give them your all? Is family demanding at times? These questions kept popping in my head while I was reading. Then I kept thinking lord let it go and be true to yourself and love that girl! So enough blabbing because I could go on and on but I won't and I won't put spoilers in this review because you REALLY NEED TO READ THE BOOK for the full effect of the story and the power of love.

Tessa owns her own book store but her true love is the wine tastings she hosts every month. She really looks forward to seeing Royal and sampling his latest wine from his families vineyard. Tessa would also like to sample Royal but he acts indifferent around her and she is sure he is not interested in her. What she does not realize is that Royal has been watching her and he enjoys the view he gets to see once a month. What is a girl to do when she wants Royal and is willing to do anything to get one moment with him. When she does get that one moment she will do any and everything to keep him.

Royal is loyal to his family and in being to loyal to them he will deprive himself of a lot of things and one of those things is being with Tessa. He likes her and wants to make her his own but he can't because of the family problems. He does not want to bring Tessa into his family issues because he loves her to much. So he will settle for the once a month wine tastings to see her and be close to her. He will sacrifice a lot to keep her at bay. But what happens after that one night between them? Well Royal will have to make up his mind and decide if family is worth the loss of true love.

What will Royal and Tessa do? Will they be together in the end or will they part ways? This is a SUPERB reading and I need more!

I'm from the great state of New York--upstate NY, thank you very much. My family consists of a brother who takes care of keeping the snarky side of me alive and a dog that is more spoiled child than mutt. My writer-friends are the glue that keeps my crazy ideas more in the sane category, and my non-writerly friends are the reason I'm not a complete hermit. I can't go a day without laughing and I truly do fall in love with each and every one of my leading men as I write their book. Music is life and every story has its own soundtrack.

I'm shamelessly addicted to the internet and adore hearing from readers.

The Boss and Her Billionaire by Michele de Winton Blog Tour Stop

He threw her inhibitions overboard.

Cruise director Michaela Western has everything she wants—everything except a sex life. But there are no secrets on cruise ships. She risked her job once for a dalliance with the Captain, and won’t do it again for a few minutes of toe-curling pleasure. Until a devilishly handsome new staffer with a body made for sin tempts her to walk on the wild side...

Investment billionaire Dylan Johns always gets what he wants. He is used to giving orders—not taking them—until he’s forced to go on hiatus from his investment company. To bide his time and carry out an old dream, he takes a job on a cruise ship—and ends up taking orders from his gorgeous, but uptight, new boss. He is determined to loosen her up with a fun onboard romance, but their no-strings fling turns serious and Dylan is forced to confess his lies.

When the affair threatens to shatter Michaela’s own career dreams, she finds herself caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

MY REVIEW

5 OF 5 BILLIONAIRES

Lord Entangled has done it again! The Boss and Her Billionaire is a fast and fun read. I have to say that Entangled has put out some great reads and every time I pick one up I am not disappointed!

In TBAHB we meet Michaela is career driven and focused. She has set out to prove to the all male dominant group that women can run a company and be successful. They don't need a man in their life to dictate policy because they can run the show. Michaela certainly achieves that and more. Michaela does not allow anyone or anything to distract her from getting her goals. That is until she meets Dylan.

Dylan is a guy used to getting his own way. What he wants and where he wants it is the name of the game. That is until he meets Michaela and she sets him on a roller coaster ride. Dylan wants Michaela and he wants her bad but will his lies and secrets destroy what they are trying to build. What is Dylan to do when the truth comes out as to who he really is and what is he going to do at the end of his three months?

Come along for a great story of true love at it finest. At the end of the day love will always win out!

 INTERVIEW WITH MICHELE

Michele Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit Kaidans Seduction. I am so grateful to have you here. Your book The Boss and Her Billionaire is one of those romance reads where you cannot put it down. You just start reading and the pages turn fast and furious because you have to get to the end without peeking. That’s how it was for me when I was reading it. I waited until all the kids went to bed and I started reading and read till 3am in the morning. Entangled Publishing is coming out with all these fantastic authors and you are so lucky to be a part of that team.

Thanks so much for having me and I’m thrilled you enjoyed the book! Sorry to cause you a sleepless night ;-) Yes, Entangled Publishing are just going from strength to strength so I feel very lucky to be working with them. There’s a great team behind the scenes and they really seem to be able to pick their debut authors, I’ve read some fantastic titles in this year. I get a real kick out of being a writer and it’s so exciting having my first romance out in the world. It’s a treat to chat with you all about the journey.

What inspired you to start writing Romance novels?

I’ve always read romance but hadn’t thought of writing it till I’d been away as a guest writer on a cruise ship (I know, bliss). It just felt like the perfect setting for a romance novel. The characters all appeared ready to be written and I had a background in dance so felt I could do the storyline some real justice. I was also away from home on a fellowship so had time and space to try out something new. I enjoyed it so much I was hooked and I’ve been totally thrilled by the reception these characters have received.

I like to ‘cast’ my characters early on so I have a solid picture of them in my mind and casting these two heroes is probably what made the book so compelling to write. I think Maggie Gyllenhall would play Michaela, with a blond wig. She’s definitely got enough sass to pull it off, and can play strong and sultry as well as soft and hopeful. And for Dylan, I’d cast Channing Tatum (although he’d have to wear green contact lenses). He’s got a great bod, some real smarts and he really can dance. I wrote this before I saw Magic Mike, but that movie definitely confirmed it – he’s one to sweep ladies of their feet – literally.

Do you have a favorite place to write?

I used to love to write in bed. I’d wake up and write on my laptop until I was too hungry and had to get up and have breakfast. I could last till about one pm if I was on a roll. But that just doesn’t work now that I write full time and it certainly doesn’t work with a new baby. I now have an office where I write each day, but my time in there is limited to when my wee man is asleep.

Do you listen to music while you’re writing?

At the moment I have strains of the Fleet Foxes to write to because it’s the music my little boy likes to sleep to and I only get to write when he’s sleeping! The whole album is on repeat and has to get through two doors to get to me – so it sort of just drifts off into the background of my consciousness. Until he wakes up! I’m not really one for having music on when I’m writing as anything with too strong a beat or that I want to sing along to gets me too distracted.

Are you an e-reader or book girl?

I’m both. I got an i-pad for Christmas and have been loving loading it up with all the great romance out there. It’s also fantastic to not have quite so many books filling up my house – my office is already lined with bookcases and the rest of the house is running out of room to accommodate extra books. But there are some books I like to go back and reread and those I like to have in paperback. I have to admit as well that I’m a page folder where there is a passage I love, but I hate to read books that others have folded – so I have to get my own copy.

Can you tell us about your up and coming paranormal release?

It’s a 20,000 word novella, coming out in September and is titled A Talon at her Throat. It follows Goddess born Yasmin Freeman as she struggles to be ordinary in a world where special powers are looked upon with suspicion. Torn between hiding her Goddess lineage from pure humans and needing her powers, Yasmin Freeman has always just wanted to fit in with her human co-workers. But when an assignment leads her to Gray, a Talon shape-shifter who is able to absorb the deadly features of any bird of prey, the true nature of her abilities is revealed. Fiercely protective of his people, Gray is honor bound to dispose of intruders, but Yasmin provokes a lustful hunger in him, something that drives him to disregard his kind’s strict avoidance of other peoples.

Gray’s seductive touch might just break Yasmin, as it triggers an ancient bonding process she is powerless to stop. Their bond should hold them together, but Yasmin must face Gray in battle if she is ever to bring her plea for co-operation to the Talon elders. And without the co-operation of their peoples, Human, Goddess and Talon could die…

Do you plan on writing more Romance Novels?

Absolutely. I’ve just finished the first draft of a new one and have finished the synopsis for something set in the Pacific again. I’m not as fast as many of the established romance writers out there, not only because of my other writing commitments, but because of having a wee man in my life now. But the romance world has been so welcoming I’m loving every minute of being a part of it and I can’t wait to get another book out in the world!

What is your favorite Genre to read?

I have written contemporary romance and paranormal because they’re what I love to read. In contemporary category romance I enjoy characters that are like me and my friends; in situations that feel true but that are perhaps aspirational, or just slightly shinier than ordinary life. In paranormal romance I like fully formed world’s where all the characters ‘fit’. Nalini Singh is expert at this (and a fellow New Zealander!)

Michele thank you again for stopping by Kaidans Seduction and allowing us a glimpse into your private writing world. I look forward to reading more from you. Happy Writing and Happy Reading!

Thanks so much for having me, I’ve had such a wonderful reception from the romance world I’m completely blown away by it! I love to hear from readers so do please get in touch! You can find me on:

Release Date: July 2012

Rich people get away with murder every day, but Vivian Foster intends to make billionaire Javier Rivera pay for what he did to her best friend—and how better to destroy a money-grubbing bastard than to sabotage the merger that means everything to him.

Javier Rivera would never hurt a woman much less kill one. But when he catches a gorgeous corporate spy in his office, he knows he can’t let her go—not when even a hint of scandal could ruin his career. Until the merger is signed, he’ll keep her close, even if he has to shackle her to his wrist. Literally.

But the closer Javier gets to Vivian, the more he wants her, and the more time she spends with him, the less she believes he could ever be a killer. Now Vivian and Javier have to discover the truth…and Vivian has to win the trust of her worst enemy.

MY REVIEW

5 OF 5 BUSINESS MERGERS

Entangled has done it again! Lord they sure know how to pick an author. In A Vengeful Affair you have business, suspense, romance, and murder or suicide that is the question? Molly is having an affair with her boss when she commits suicide and her best friend Vivian just does not believe her friend would commit suicide. So Vivian decides she is going to spy on Javier and see what has really happened to her best friend. What Vivian does not count on is getting caught in the middle of a war between rivals for a deal merger and so much more.

See the guy she actual works for wants her to spy on Javier and ruin a merger he has worked so hard to get and Vivian agrees because she thinks Javier caused Molly's death. Vivian goes to work for Javier and begins spying on him when she is caught and Javier decides the age old saying of keep your friends close and your enemies closer applies to Vivian. So he takes Vivian with him to Paris to close the merger. Once there all Vivian can think about is destroying him but after a romantic night with Javier Vivian realizes there is something wrong with everything she has been told.

Vivian catches the guy she is supposed to be working for with the guy that Javier wants to do the merger with. What is revealed next was shocking because the guy and Javier know each other and Javier hates him because he did something to Javier as a child which caused Javier to flee Spain. As the story unfolds everything comes out and Vivian hopes she is not to late to salvage what she has with Javier. Will she and Javier have their happily ever after? Will Javier get the merger he so desperately wants and needs? Will the truth come out as to what really happened to Molly?

Come along on the best ride of your summer for some romance, suspense, and business mergers done in Paris where everyone wants to be!

INTERVIEW WITH CARMEN

Hi everyone, thank you so much for having me! I must say those questions are perfect for my Javier/Vivian withdrawals, as they allowed me to reminisce about those two. What a treat! Thank you!

What inspired you to write A Vengeful Affair?

I grew up reading revenge and enemies-to-lovers plots. It’s a great setup for strong emotions, hot tension and sexual buildup. I knew I wanted to write a story like that, but unlike most books I’d read, I wanted the heroine to be the one thirsty for revenge! It was overwhelming at first – how could I craft a heroine capable of plotting to destroy the hero, and still make her likeable and relatable? But I’m glad I took the challenge. I love Vivian.

Is Javier made after a person in your life?

No, although in my mind he’s very real… real and spectacular. LOL.

When did Vivian realize she had genuine feelings for Javier?

I think toward the end of the book she admits it to herself and verbalizes it before it’s too late. She steps way out of her comfort zone to do so. But as the book unfolds, I think the reader can have a good sense of Vivian’s emotions before even she does. It doesn’t go from love to hate right away. She goes through a range of emotions, and a lot of twists and turns take place. If you haven’t read the book yet, read it and you’ll find out more.

When did Javier realize he had genuine feelings for Vivian?

I had to make him wait and give him what he wanted, or what he thought he wanted, to make him come to terms with his feelings and what she meant to him. There’s a scene in the Swiss woods that made me very emotional when I wrote it; it’s when he is injured and what happens afterward. I think on that day something very deep starts to change inside him, which goes back to his childhood and how he trusts people.

If you could pick one song to describe Javier and Vivian’s relationship, what song would it be?

 “Turning Tables” by Adele. I actually think of them when I listen to that song.

Can you give us five random facts for Javier and Vivian that we do not see in the book?

Great question! Let’s see… 1. Javier has three stepsisters. There was a scene in which they were mentioned, but because of edits and tightening, I had to cut them out. 2. After the end of the book and with the mystery solved, Vivian takes dancing lessons. 3. Javier’s zodiac sign is Scorpio. 4. Vivian hates pickles. 5. Javier’s favorite color is green.

Do you have another book coming out this year?

I don’t have a book under contract, but I do have a few projects and one of them is under consideration right now. So please let’s all cross our fingers and toes and hope for the best. J
