REVIEW BY BRANDY! GIVEAWAY!! THREE OF SPADES BY W. FERRARO (@AuthorWFerraro)
BLURB:
Dylan Cross is the type of man that enjoys everything female, and enjoy it he does, but always on his terms. However, his terms are pushed to their limit when Natalie Parker proposes an offer; teach her and her delectable little body, all about sex and desire. There is one catch. He has to play the part of Natalie’s madly in love boyfriend for her dying mother. Dylan signs on, and finds that separating the two is harder than he thought. Natalie’s days of shyness and lack of confidence come to a quick close as she learns what her body craves and demands in the bedroom. Soon, Dylan becomes the student as Natalie teaches him things he didn’t even know he wanted. Will Hamden’s notorious playboy, bachelor be able to keep calling the shots, or will he find that, he, himself, is just another player at the card game of life, as we all are?
REVIEW:
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I fell in lust with Dylan in Three of Hearts but I fell in love with him in this story.
Dylan is a playboy and he makes no apologies for it. When he runs into a beautiful, dainty woman at Cal’s bar, he is intrigued by her proposal.
Natalie is a bookworm and is satisfied with that, until her mom starts berating her for not having a man in her life. Natalie knows it is because her mom’s cancer is terminal but she still feels betrayed by her. She makes the decision to find a man that can teach her about sex and help her convince her mom that she is in a loving relationship.
Dylan knows that he is probably asking for trouble but he just can’t resist Natalie and her innocent ways. Both are destined for more than just a simple con. I love the expansion of the characters and how they develop over the story. Characters from Three of Hearts are included and I love how the story continues to blossom.

BLOG TOUR STOP AND GIVEAWAY!! HELL’S MERCENARY BY LUKE WEST (#giveaway, @Authorlukewest)
SYNOPSIS:
If you were faced with the abominable decision to die or kill a loved one to
survive, would you be the honorable sacrifice?
Hell’s Mercenary. The Urban Fantasy novel from the Intervening World
Chronicles, by up and coming author Luke West.
Tobias is the Devil – the ruler of Hell. For years he has banished the souls of
innocent humans only to compliment his ruling status, but slowly things are starting
to change.
Fewer souls are struggling down the elevator ride eventuating at Hell’s
reception desk, yet heaven is reporting an influx of angel’s climbing the staircase into the clouds.
Tobias begins questioning the rules with his sister and rivalry – Constance –
the leader of heaven.
When his inquiries go unanswered, he entrusts his assistant Arliah with a
mission she simply cannot refuse, yet reluctantly accepts.
Her uncanny nature and gothic philosophy only cause havoc among Hell’s
people, and their eyes slowly open as they begin noticing her continual departures
through Hell’s gates and presumably into the beauty of heaven.
What Arliah soon comprehends is that the gates of heaven are located at the
other end of Earth.
Earth – A deserted world: a place of patience, hope and misery. The only
escape is to win the game; your target – the humans with the leading bounties.
Will her black magic connections lead her to the gates of heaven – a world
believed to be the light at the end of the tunnel? Or will her newfound supernatural
powers carve the third strike against her signed contract?
Her mission – find heaven, and once she does, bring it to Hell.
REVIEW:
This book is a little outside of my normal read but I have to say that it was worth my time! Luke West has developed a world that is different and that in itself is a breath of fresh air. Tobias seems like the perfect devil to me. I like the way that Luke develops his personality, but I feel a link to Arliah. Her soul feels lost and alone and I have to tell you that when Tobias branded her, I wanted to knock him out. Hell of a punishment for a mild offense but then it does come from the devil himself. I think that in this story, Hell reminds me of high school! 🙂
Take a chance on this amazing author and let me know what you think! If you are an urban fantasy kinda person, Luke West is your man!

COVER REVEAL!! STORMY SURRENDER BY NICOLE ANDREWS MOORE (@TastyBookTours, @thenicknick)
BLURB:
Sometimes the life you planned isn’t the one you get to live. Sometimes the pain of the past overshadows the future. And sometimes to start over you have to go back to where it all began. That’s how it was for Joe Masters. That’s how he ended up back in New Hope. And that’s why he was in his thirties and had nothing to show for his life. He needed a complete overhaul, just like his father’s old house. Instead of a fast track, he had slowed down and was on a ten year plan. These days that was more his speed. And as much as he tried to fight the inevitable, he was learning to accept and surrender.
Martha had weathered her fair share of storms in Vermont, was accustomed to the cold, both the chill in the air and the cold shoulder in her marriage, but after the miscarriage she felt like she would never get warm again. So she did the research from the laptop while sitting in front of the fireplace. She knew what she needed when she Googled hope, she just never imagined that it would bring her to New Hope, South Carolina. She never imagined that her husband would trick her into leaving and never follow. She never imagined that a southern storm with all its force and fury could be so destructive. But after the storm, the land is washed clean. It’s perfect for a fresh start, a clean slate, and a new love.
AUTHOR INFO:
Nicki has lived in Charlotte, North Carolina with her children for the past eleven years and her husband for the past three years. Her journey has barely begun and she loves every minute of it. Every day of her life seems to bring new adventures, some bigger, better, shinier and prettier than others. She’s still getting used to that new life smell she’s experiencing, a combination of hope, love, and happiness. (The perfect scents to build a new life on…)
For fun, she spends time with those she cares about, cooks, reads, writes, and especially lives to travel. The current travel goal: visit every Margaritaville. Two down! (Eleven to go?)
In addition to writing on Suddenly Single Journey, Nicki is a contributor for Project Underblog. Her writing can also be found on Shine, where she is a Shine Parenting Guru and an award winning Yahoo! Contributor on YourWisdom as the relationship and dating expert.

COVER REVEAL!! THE SEX DEMON TRILOGY BY JAYE SHEILDS (@TastyBookTours, @JayeShields)
I am so excited to take part in this author’s COVER REVEAL! Jaye was my very first author interview, which was amazing! She also writes sexy stories that enthrall you and leave you hungry for more! If you haven’t checked out The Sex Demon Trilogy yet, you don’t know what you are missing!
Confessions of a Sex Demon
Zahra proves that sex demons do it better as she goes from captive to captivator.
Sex Demon Zahra Aniron is a closet romantic. Too bad she spends her time having hot, kinky sex with paying strangers. But she needs the money to pay off her sister’s debt to wizard thugs. There could be worse things than getting paid for pleasure, especially since a sex demon needs climax to survive.
As a blacksmith, Lennox Aegros puts his fury to good use pounding steel into swords. When he arrives at a new town, his real cause for being there isn’t to sell weaponry, it’s for revenge. When he finds the succubus he’s been searching for, her beauty means he can mix business with pleasure. But the joke’s on Lennox, because as he succeeds in torturing his victim by repeatedly bringing her to the brink of orgasm and then denying her the release that she so desperately needs, he realizes that Zahra’s slow demise means the breaking of a heart he didn’t think he had.

But in her eyes he can see a fire that’s just waiting to be released. And he always did love a challenge.

BLOG TOUR STOP AND GIVEAWAY! REVIEW! Witch Weigh by Caroline Mickelson (#giveaway)
BLURB:
Tessa Von Hellengaard is a real witch. Magical spells aside, she’s snarky and selfish, and the other witches in her silent spell coven are fed up with her. Their plan to reform Tessa involves taking away her magic, saddling her with one hundred extra pounds, and sending her to a weight loss spa. For good measure they call in Liam Kennedy, a charming and sexy fairy godfather, to teach her some manners. Desperate to regain her magic and determined to shed the weight, Tessa soon realizes that protecting her heart from Liam will prove to be her greatest challenge.
REVIEW:
This was something a little different. Tessa is a self-centered little witch. Literally. When her coven decides to teach her a lesson, they slap an extra hundred pounds on her and send her to fat camp with her hot fairy godfather. She starts off with being a condescending pain in the butt to everyone. When she does something nice by accident and realizes that is how she sheds the weight, she starts being nice all over the place. Like anything, if you do it long enough it becomes a habit.
This was a fun read and I see the potential for more good stories.

![Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000040_00041]](http://romancebookworm.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/fullcoveringer.jpg)
BLURB:
After a fatal hit and run accident, Ella Monroe fears that she’s lost more than her beloved parents. Horrifying visions of a past life and a disturbing voice in her head have psychiatric professionals convinced that she’s lost her sanity as well. But when Kale–a dark and handsome stranger with a mysterious past–reveals the true meaning of her visions and the tremendous power she wields through them, Ella must come to terms with the devastating truths of her own past, while eluding an ancient Dark Prince who seeks to control not only her future, but all of mankind’s, by means of abilities that Ella is only beginning to understand.
Enter the shrouded world of an age old battle between an ancient race known as the Immortals and their bitter enemy Laurent, the so-called Dark Prince, who commands an army of half-breed vampires known as Chorý. Both sides have been desperately searching for the prophesied emergence of the Arc, a clairvoyant with unparalleled power to recall the past and a soothsayer with clear vision into the future.
The Council of Immortals has sworn to protect the Arc, whom they have identified as young Ella Monroe, a college freshman from Virginia living quietly and unaware of her powers or her past. But a renegade Chorý has other plans for the protection of a girl he has loved through the ages. Can Kale convince Ella of who she is, what she is destined to become, and what he once meant to her? Is he truly the best protector to shield the world from the devastating misuse of her powers that Laurent is bent on controlling? Or will the forbidden love they share and Kale’s cursed condition as a wretched and hated Chorý be used against them both?
This paranormal romance told from the heroine’s perspective builds in intensity and intrigue to a finale you won’t see coming. Heart pounding action mixed with heartwarming friendships and heartbreaking romance will leave you breathless and begging for more.
