ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Marie James

Marie James, full-time working mother of two boys and wife of 11 years. I've spent almost my entire lifetime living in central Texas, with only short stays in South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida. I've always wanted to write novels and just recently had the gumption to sit down and start one. My passions include reading everything under the sun and sewing.

Psychosis is the 5th book I've released with another release planned in January of 2016. This FanFiction started off as just a simple idea and has turned into an amazing way to help a little girl who's battling cancer! Matthew has been gracious enough to allow us to portray him in this story and have a little fun with it!

Gina Sevani

Gina Sevani was born and raised in beautiful South Carolina. She learned quickly that she had mad love for reading romance, paranormal and everything in between.

One night, as she was trying to fall asleep fictional characters popped into her head and would not leave. Day after day she was running dialogue and creating stories while trying to perform daily tasks. Those amazing characters wanted to be heard.

As time passed, she kept them at bay convinced she didn’t have the ability to be an “Author”. But late one night, she sat down at the computer, deciding to see if her characters could come to life on the pages. When she finally took a deep breath, thousands of words filled the pages. Those incredible words gave her the courage she needed. They lead to both of her novels, Beautifully Damaged and Beautifully Devoted.

Alexa Bardo always dreamt of a future, a future where she could help others, by becoming a doctor.

One mistake from a family member snatches that future away.

At the age of nineteen she was thrown into a marriage with a man she doesn't love, but has no choice but to stay. Feeling suffocated by her husband, Ash De Costa, son of the Don of The De Costa Mafia. She knows she needs to escape.

Will the help of the Devil's Reign MC help break her free?

The Devil's Reign MC are tasked with a mission, a mission that brings back memories for a couple of members.

One in particular, Tyler Cross.

While hell bent on revenge, will he get more than he bargained for?

I stand, pulling her with me, lifting her into the bridal position. Her right arm snakes around my neck, her other hand on my heart. The rain falling around us is getting heavier, but I don’t hear the rain anymore. All I can hear is my heartbeat thumping in my ears, like it always does when she’s this close to me.

“We need to get in and dry before we both catch our deaths.” I walk up the steps then cringe as I realize what I’ve said. She’s still crying but not as hard as she was. “I didn’t mean…” I begin.

She’s cried herself to sleep. The only noises coming from her as I walk up the stairs are little sobs now and again.

I kick the door open and lay her on her bed. Looking down at her, I debate whether or not to take her clothes off. I should really take her wet clothes off, but I think that would be inappropriate, so I get an extra thick blanket from the closet and place it over her. As I turn to leave, she whispers in her sleep something that stops me midstride. “Stay.”

I sit down beside her and she drapes her arm across my torso. I tense for a second but relax after a beat. I wait until she’s fully asleep before I leave. I didn’t want to wake her by moving her arm off, and if I’m honest, I kind of liked it there. It felt right.

I fall onto my bed after taking a hot shower. I stare at the wall opposite my bed, at the painting Sup and I painted a few years back. It’s the club’s emblem, a woman holding a dagger, with wings, in only a bra and panties. It’s the eyes I always stare at. Blue. I remember Sup being confused about why I had to have them blue. Much like my tattoo. I still have an obsession with blue eyes. The thing is, I’ve no idea why. Why blue eyes?

Allana lives in Dundee, Scotland with her husband and two daughters.

She has always had a passion for reading and until a few years ago, started secretly writing. She had always debated sharing it but never had the confidence to do so, until now. In her words; 'Life is too short to regret things we could have done and wishing the should've, would've, could've's.'

She wants to show not only her daughters, but to everyone else that you can do whatever you want when you put your mind to it.

She loves reading a range of genres, particularly MC, Mafia and romance. Other than reading and writing, Allana loves to help out other authors, watching WWE, dancing around the room with her daughters, or at the cinema with her husband. She also loves to bake, it's her stress reliever.

He looked over at me, annoyance on his features. "Last time you had sex with a woman?" he demanded.

I spluttered "Gramps! You want me to tell you the last time I was with a woman?" I asked incredulously.

"I'm not interested in the last time you gave your wrist a work out!" He deadpanned, and I barked out a laugh at him,

"Jesus, Gramps! Can't you be like other old men?!" I shook my head at him but he still looked at me, waiting.

"Bloody hell" I cursed, cringing knowing that he wouldn’t let the conversation go.

"I dunno why you feel the need to know, 6 days ago. Satisfied?"

He fixed me with a stare. "You trying to be funny, boy? I've not been satisfied for nearly two weeks. I'm a grown man who fought for his bloody country, and if I want..."

I interrupted his rant. "Wait! How'd you get it two weeks ago?" I looked at him puzzled, and a slow grin spread over his face.

"Betty stays here quite regularly, boy. We were just unlucky last night, in that the silly old witch next door fell over."

This book started with a really sensible scene. And I hurt when it happened. I am not a fan of those kind of scenes. Not because of personal experience but just because I cannot fantom the pain of something like that happening. This however, hadn't taken away from the rating of the story.

The main reason I have given this story four stars was that just before I read this story I have read a five stars book. And I just couldn't give this book five stars when this other book left me in such a good place I sighed in happiness.

This story is very interesting and is also a cliffy so if you aren't someone who can take one don't read it. I look forward to reading the second part of this story.

I’m currently a SAHM to two little ones. I live in Wales in the UK and spend a huge amount of time at the beach, despite our climate… I don’t drink any hot drinks despite trying my best to make myself like coffee! I love reading – obviously, writing and music, and hot sunny days which we never get enough of! I’ve dreamed of writing my whole life and would often pen short stories as a child. Unfortunately, life took over and reading and writing were forced to take a back seat for the last few years. Until my husband bought me a kindle last Christmas, and well, suddenly everything changed…

RELEASE DAY BLITZ - Nina Levine's COMMAND (Storm MC, #7)

Book 7 in the internationally bestselling Storm MC series by Nina Levine is live! Check out this steamy excerpt, pick up your copy and don’t forget to enter the giveaway!

Title: Command

Series: Storm MC, #7

Author: Nina Levine

SYNOPSIS

Betrayal. Destruction. Loss.

The Storm MC is a club in crisis and their new President, Scott Cole, has declared war on their enemy. As Scott takes command, the MC is thrust into the biggest battle in their history – a battle to not only save the club, but the lives of its members.

Harlow James stands behind her man as he takes charge. She’s determined to prove she can be the woman he needs. However, somewhere along the way, she’s lost a piece of herself, and she fights to be strong for him when she feels anything but strong.

As the club descends into chaos, Scott and Harlow are pulled in opposite directions while they try to protect everything that is important to them. Their relationship is tested in ways it never has been, but they cling to the faith they have in each other.

Is faith enough to get you through when all appears to be lost? For Scott and Harlow, it may be the only thing that, in the end, will save them and the club.

EXCERPT

I ran my hand over her ass and up her back. When I found her hair, I took hold and pulled her head back so I could dip my mouth to her neck. Fuck she smells good. I kissed her and as she moaned again, I added my teeth to the kiss, and fuck if she didn’t arch her back and press her front to me harder.

Pulling away, I rasped, “Jesus, woman, I need to get you out of here, otherwise your ass is gonna be planted on that couch and my dick is gonna be buried so far deep in you before you can stop me.”

Her mouth turned up in a grin, but she didn’t say anything.

“What?” I demanded.

“There is no way Scott Cole is going to fuck his woman in front of his club, but I love your enthusiasm. Personally, I think these guys are so involved in their drinking that we could probably have sex on that couch and none of them would even notice.”

I raised my brows. “You wanna see just where Scott Cole would fuck his woman? ‘Cause I’m happy to show you.”

Her grin grew. “I dare you, baby.”

Fuck. She knows me too fucking well and she’s fucking playing me.

I kept my gaze trained on her while I pulled out my phone and called Griff. When he answered, I said, “You guys right if I head home for the night?”

“Yeah, brother. We’ve got it under control. Church is scheduled for ten in the morning and then we’ve got the re-opening of Trilogy tomorrow night.”

My gaze dropped to Harlow’s lips as she licked them, and my dick begged for that tongue. I raised my finger to her lips and closed her mouth, holding my finger there as I replied, “See you in the morning.”

Shoving my phone in my pocket, I growled, “I want you outside. Now.”

Her grin disappeared and gave way to a sexy curl of her lips. Without another word, she turned and began walking outside. My eyes dropped to her ass. The way it swayed under the tight fit of her short, black dress almost made me come in my pants.

That dress is fucking perfect.

I followed her outside and as we walked past the corner of the building, I snagged her around the waist, lifted her to rest against my body and carried her around the corner. I then deposited her on the ground and pushed her up against the building. My hands went to the hem of her dress and I pulled it up to reveal her panties to me. I slid one hand inside to find her pussy while my other hand moved to take hold of her chin.

My eyes found hers and I demanded, “You good if I fuck my woman now?”

REVIEW

Anita
Amazon Rating: 5/5
In Patti's Imagination Rating: 10/10

I don't read any other biker books except Nina's. Why? It's simple. She's the only one I trust to write a story I can read. I don't think that everyone else doesn't know how to write but when it comes to biker stories, they're a love or hate thing for me. I have yet to find another biker books that I love as much as I love Nina's Storm men.

Anyway, Command... This was a long time coming book. We've been reading about problems between Harlow and Scott for a few books now and every time the stress about the situation rose higher. Now, we've finally gotten the book we've been waiting for. Scott is still as hot as ever and Harlow, our poor broken girl is finally getting better in this book. But, you need to read it and find out about it yourself. I won't tell you anything about it.

I apologize to the author for not reading the book before and posting it with the release. But, it was definitely worth the time.

BLOG TOUR and REVIEW - Harper Sloan's PERFECTLY IMPERFECT

Meet Willow and Kane in the newest stand alone by Harper Sloan!

NOW AVAILABLE on the following retailers:

Amazon US Amazon UK Nook iBooks

Blurb

Mirror, mirror ... who's the fairest of them all?

I still cringe when I hear that line. A fairy tale that had girls pretending they were the fairest, the most beautiful, and the most entitled. A fairy tale most couldn't grow out of turned my haunted childhood memories into a living nightmare. Girls who grew up believing that pile of garbage became the meanest of all 'mean girls.'

And those mean girls were right - it was a line meant for all the beautiful people in the world - and I knew the answer would never be me.

The women with long legs, flat stomachs, and perfect chests.

The type of women Kane Masters gravitated toward.

Well, that's definitely not Willow Tate.

No. That will never be me.

Because I'm completely imperfect.

And ... I hate myself.

I have no idea what Kane could possibly see in someone like me when he could have them.

(Anita)
At first I thought that this book won't meet my expectations. But it has. More than. It was amazing, enthralling and I loved the story. There are many times in my life where I have felt like Willow but where she has felt like unloved at home, I have felt unloved, hated in school. The teasing, the rude comments, it all had the effect on me. Until I've met my Kane and then I grew free. I soon wasn't the shy little girl anymore. I didn't bend to other people's will. I only did what I thought was right. I wasn't the most favorite person in my class after that but I was becoming me.

What I'm trying to say is that I connected to this book on a different level. My heart hurt and I have to say I wasn't expecting that ending. Frankly, I wanted a more different one. Maybe there'll be a sequel with the other brother? We should appeal to the author. Hahaha.

Read it an fall in love with Willow and Kane. Just like I have.

About the Author

Harper lives in small town Georgia just a short drive from her hometown of Peachtree City. She (and her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the house they dubbed 'Estrogen Ocean', much to her husband’s chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with her eReader attached. She enjoys bad reality TV and cheesy romantic flicks. Her favorite kind of hero--the super alpha kind!

Harper started using writing as a way to unwind when the house went to sleep at night; and with a house full of crazy it was the perfect way to just relax. It didn't take long before a head full of very demanding alphas would stop at nothing to have their story told.
