Home No More by Leddy Harper Blog Tour!




Never take for granted where you came from... or where you may end up.


SYNOPSIS


My name is Kendall Carrington—or so I thought…


When 17-year-old Kendall gets pulled over during an impromptu joy ride, she not only discovers she is not the girl she thought she was, but neither is anyone else. Kidnapped when she was young, she is thrust back into a life she doesn’t remember. One where her name is Danielle Tucker and betrayal seems to be lurking around every corner. No longer able to decipher the truth from the lies, she enlists the help of blue-eyed hottie Lincoln Hunt on her quest for truth.


Will she come to terms with her new life? Or will she go running back to the only home she’s ever known?



REVIEW:

Home No More was certainly a roller coaster of emotions that just don't stop. Kendall/Danielle certainly had a difficult life and that doesn't stop as she's trying to figure things out and readjust. Things are a struggle and there is a shocker that throws everything you thought was getting calm out of the window.

Throughout Home No More, I felt a lot of what Kendall must have felt. That the world had gone topsy-turvy all of a sudden and you weren't sure which way is up. Leddy Harper has certainly created an amazing book and her writing conveys the conflicted feelings of Kendall very well.

And then there was Link, I wasn't sure what to think about him at first but going through, I either loved him or slightly disliked him depending on moods.

Home No More was a beautiful read! I will  certainly be revisiting it in the future!
COMING IN JULY...


ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Leddy Harper had to use her imagination often as a child. She grew up the only girl in a house full of boys. At the age of fourteen, she decided to use that imagination and wrote her first book, and never stopped. 

She often calls writing her therapy, using it as a way to deal with issues through the eyes of her characters.

She is now a mother of three girls, leaving her husband as the only man in a house full of females. 

The decision to publish her first book was made as a way of showing her children to go after whatever it is they want to. Love what you do and do it well. Most importantly Leddy wanted to teach them what it means to overcome their fears.

The Assassin Series Cover Reveal by Tara Crescent!


The Assassin's Revenge series
by Tara Crescent
COVER REVEAL


March 16, 2015

I have a mission.
Kill the man who kidnapped me. Kill the guards who raped me. I have guns and
knives and I’m not afraid to use them. Nothing will stop me.

Then I walk into a
bar and I notice him. He is gorgeous.

For four long years,
my only response to anything sexual has been revulsion and fear. This time, it
feels different.

I could use him. I
want to use him. I could sleep with him and make a pleasurable memory as a
counterpoint to the painful ones. I’m not a frightened young girl anymore. I’m
a trained assassin, capable of killing him with my bare hands. This time, I’ll
be in control.

He’s just supposed to
be a distraction, this mysterious man in the bar that I have a one-night stand
with. But I can't predict the secrets he is hiding... secrets that are about to
intersect my world in painful, unanticipated, and dangerous ways.


~*~ABOUT TARA
CRESCENT~*~

Hello, I’m Tara Crescent.
I’ve always fantasized about being a mysterious spy, leading a secret
double-life, and now, I find that that’s come true!

Sort of.

By day, I’m a
mild-mannered corporate drone in Toronto, but by night, I’m limited only by my
imagination; I sit, and I type, and I am a daring writer of BDSM, erotica and
romance.

In my spare time, I
write of course. I also read, garden, travel, cook, and almost never clean. I
just started watching Walking Dead on Netflix (zombie erotica, anyone?), and
I’m impatiently awaiting the next episode of Doctor Who. (I would kill for a
TARDIS.)

I’ve scribbled bits
and pieces all my life, chiefly inspired by what I’m reading, which tends to be
mainly science-fiction and fantasy, with a healthy sprinkling of romance and
erotica thrown in.

I’m a huge believer
in happily-ever-after, but tempered by real life, where happily-ever-after is
possible, but takes work.  My favorite
kind of romance stories are ones that are somewhat believable; I like strong men
and women who know what they want out of life, and are driven to get it.


I love reader email;
I can be reached at taracrescent@gmail.com.

Happy reading and
writing!

Protecting Caroline by Susan Stoker Blog Tour!


    About the Book
Title: Protecting Caroline


Series: SEAL of Protection #1



Author: Susan Stoker



Published: September 8th, 2014



Word Count: 62,000



Genre: Contemporary Romance



Content Warning: Violence



Age Recommendation: 18+



Synopsis: **Protecting Caroline is a stand-alone love story. It is Book 1 in the SEAL of Protection Series**



Matthew “Wolf” Steel hated flying commercial. Luckily his job as a Navy SEAL meant he didn’t have to do it very often. He’d been unlucky enough to be assigned a middle seat on the cramped jet, but fortunately for him, the woman next to him was willing to switch seats with him. Hoping for a relaxing flight, Wolf was pleasantly surprised at the good conversation and sense of humor the woman had as they flew 36,000 feet over the countryside.



When Caroline boarded the plane to Virginia to move across the country for her new job she never expected to be seated next to the hottest guy she’d ever seen. She also never expected he’d be so easy to talk to. She knew he’d never be interested in talking to her if he hadn’t been trapped in the seat next to her, but it was a nice way to spend a long plane ride.



Neither Wolf nor Caroline were prepared for a terrorist hijacking of their plane, but if Caroline thought that would be the last time she’d see, or need, Wolf, she’d be sorely mistaken.



Start the SEAL of Protection Series with Caroline and Wolf’s story.


Review: 
At first I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the writing style. I liked how the characters each had their own little introductions but it almost seemed awkward or odd to me? I'm not really sure how to describe it. But once I got past the introductions I enjoyed the writing style much more. There were few errors if any and that was really helpful as well.

I certainly enjoyed the character of Caroline. I did like Wolf and his boys but for me Caroline was my favorite. She was this woman who had no training besides the training necessary to be a chemist and yet she stood up to the terrorists, helped rather than hindered and didn't wait around uselessly for the guys to find her. She actively tried to help them and I just thought that she was a really well written character who anyone can enjoy.

I loved the relationships between all of the characters, not just Wolf and Caroline. They all adopted her and took her on as family even when Wolf wasn't necessarily thinking straight. I enjoyed that relationship she formed with each character and it certainly makes me interested in what will happen in the next books and if it will affect her relationship with the boys. 

The plot hit home a lot more now, even though it's been 13 years since 9/11. It certainly hit a lot harder than I think it might have if it hadn't already happened on such a large scale in a nearby country. 

Protecting Caroline was a great read, one that I enjoyed. The characters were my favorite although the plot was well written as well.


About the Author
Susan Stoker has a heart as big as the state of Texas where she lives but this all American girl has also spent the last fourteen years living in Missouri, California, Colorado, and Indiana. She is quite the romantic and even met the love of her life on “Hotmail classified” before online dating and sites like match.com even existed!


Susan has been reading romance novels since middle school and once crossed out the names of the main characters in a book and changed them to her own and to the name of her crush. She’s been writing scenes for years, developing her unique writing style.



Susan loves writing but her true passion is adopting dogs from rescue groups and shelters. Susan and her husband have had a total of nine “rescued” dogs since 2000 including a variety of basset hounds and bloodhounds. She has recently branched out and adopted a basset/terrier mix who acts more like a terrier than a basset (i.e. digging, eating a couch and being hyper).




Excerpt
Wolf didn’t say anything, just did what he’d desired to do the first time he saw her in the room. He reached over and gathered her into his arms. She was stiff at first, then she melted into him. She smelled of some sort of flowers. Maybe it was her shampoo, maybe it was a lotion she used, but it went straight to his head. He tightened his arms around her and Caroline lost it. She cried. She cried for being scared on the plane, she cried for being hurt, she cried remembering how alone and scared she felt in her apartment when only a thin piece of plastic kept a killer from knowing she was in the bathroom, she cried in relief that Matthew was back from his mission. Matthew rocked her and held her tight. He wasn’t used to a woman’s tears, but there was no way he was letting her go.

Finally her tears dried up and she only sniffed here and there. Wolf drew back a bit and looked at her face. She wasn’t a “cute crier”—her face was red and blotchy. She refused to raise her eyes. Wolf rubbed her cheeks with his thumbs and then lifted her chin up so Caroline had to look at him. He didn’t say anything just leaned down and touched her lips with his. It wasn’t a passionate kiss, but it felt right. It was a comforting kiss. It was exactly what she needed from him at that moment.

He pulled back and looked into her eyes. “You’re safe now. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure you stay that way.”

Caroline believed him. He was an honest to God hero. And for the moment, he was her hero. She tipped her chin up, reaching again for his lips with hers.

The second she moved, he was there. Wolf had tried to hold back with her. She was feeling vulnerable and he didn’t want to take advantage of her. But with the first touch of her lips against him, he was lost.
